Chapter 396: The "People's Girl" also shouted injustice
Hearing someone shouting injustice, Governor Fang's face turned green.
What does it mean for someone to cry out for injustice? It means that his parents are not competent enough, and the people can't trust him, otherwise why don't you go to the prefect's yamen to shout grievances, but cross countless levels to come to the palace to shout grievances?
"Quick, go and see, who is crazy and disturbing the Holy Driver?!" He lowered his voice and hurriedly commanded Tongzhi.
Na Tongzhi also realized the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly took several government officials to separate the crowd and ran towards the place where the grievances were shouted.
"Wronged, holy, the grass people have been greatly wronged!"
The person who shouted the grievance spared no effort to shout, and the crowd fell silent, allowing Xiao Zhengqian to hear it more truly and clearly.
Someone sued the royal court, which must be very interesting.
He touched his beard to hide his heartfelt smile, and commanded, "Come, bring the person who cried out." β
"Holy Lord, this is not appropriate." The upright imperial historian immediately spoke up to stop, "Who knows the identity of the person who complained and where he came from?" If he has bad intentions and does something rebellious to you, won't he make the ministers and the people of the world regret it?
It's better to let Governor Fang inquire first, and it's not too late for you to summon him again. β
Governor Fang glanced at the imperial history gratefully, "Holy Lord, what Lord Wang said is very reasonable, let's let Weichen ...... first"
"No need, I'm going to try it myself." Xiao Zhengqian said insistently, waving his hand and asking the Ouchi guards to pick up people.
As soon as the pro-noble minister covered his mouth, closed his eyes and closed his eyes, full of helplessness, he almost shouted out, "Holy Lord, are you sure that you can try the case?" You can't even memorize the "Laws of the Great Liang", okay? β
It's not that they want to underestimate their immediate boss. It's really that the Xiao family's genes are too strong, and even a generation of Ming Jun like their saint is weak and strong. Why does he like to spread the word? Isn't it because the handwriting is bad, and I feel that it is too faceless to let the Chinese scholar ghostwrite?
He also knew that his liberal arts were weak, so he reactivated the "knowledge system" abolished by the previous emperor, which was an errand official with no real power, and was in charge of checking and filling in the gaps and correcting all documents such as edicts and sacrificial documents drafted by the saints. To put it bluntly, they are the brains of the saints, and they are specially endorsed for the saints.
There are officials from Dali Temple and the Criminal Department in the court, as well as the Zhizhi Edict to accompany them. If necessary. He can be reminded at any time to use which volume and which article of the "Laws of the Great Liang" as a basis. The courtiers were not surprised, and they could understand that he was poisoned by his ancestors' genes and was naturally weak.
But right now, on the street, there are thousands of people staring at it like torches, as "the biggest official in the world". He was embarrassed to bring someone to ask him halfway through. "What should he be convicted of? How to sentenc. Is it a board or a whip? β
Halfway through the trial, someone jumped out and reminded him, "Holy one." You are mistaken, it should be this or that, and not that or that. β
Will it ruin the image of "majestic and martial" that hundreds of civil and military officials have worked so hard to create for him? Will it shatter the dreams of the brain-dead people named "common people" and turn them into black fans?
However, Jun didn't joke, the saint had already said that he would try it himself, and they couldn't take the saint back with him, so they could only let him first, and then improvise and help him.
The same acquaintance is middle-aged, holding the boss's belly, and he can't catch up with the well-trained Ouchi guards even if he breaks his leg. When he shouted there and shouted "let go, let go", the people swept away, and the people automatically made a way, so that they could come and go with the wind, and brought the wrongdoers to Xiao Zhengqian as quickly as possible.
This is a young man in his twenties, dressed ordinarily, with dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a very burly figure. didn't even see Xiao Zhengqian's face clearly, so he was pressed and knelt on the ground by the guards.
"Who are you? Why do you cry out for injustice? Xiao Zhengqian put his hands behind his back and opened his mouth without anger.
Without waiting for the man to reply, there was another voice of injustice from the crowd, "The people are wronged, please ask the Holy Lord to be the master of the people's daughters!" β
Fang Zhifu's face turned from green to black, and he almost crushed his back molars.
On weekdays, what came to his hands was either the files sent by the county officials at all levels for review, or the documents assigned by the superiors, and one or two of them went to the government office to beat the drum and voice grievances in ten days and a half months, and it was good for him to be promoted to the court for the first trial.
Today, people have come to shout injustices again and again, who is the damn person who wants to get along with him? This is an iron determination to make him lose face in front of the saint and a group of officials!
For Xiao Zhengqian, who was full of interest, one sheep was also driven, and two sheep were also released, so there was no reason to only take the case of the "grass people" and ignore the grievances of the "people's daughter", so he waved his hand and said, "Bring it over." β
The two guards took the order, and in a short time brought a young woman with them.
This woman was seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed as a peasant woman in a silk skirt. He was slender, with hideous and ugly pink scars all over his face, but he had a pair of sparkling eyes. Before her appearance was ruined, she was also a woman with a bit of beauty.
When the woman shouted grievances, Zhou Han felt that her voice was a little familiar, but it was too far away to hear it very clearly. At this time, when he saw the woman's figure clearly, his eyes widened in shock, "Ming...... Mingmei?! β
Isn't she already dead? The sky is blue, is it not the hell?
Zhou Shu, who was standing with Xiao Zheng, obviously recognized it, and his two long eyebrows were raised high, with an incredible expression.
"Why, do you know the little woman who shouted injustice?" Xiao Zheng touched him and asked in a low voice.
Zhou Shu was surprised, but his eyes sank point by point, "How can you not know?" She is my eldest brother's concubine. β
"Huh?!" Xiao Zheng screamed exaggeratedly, and when he saw that others were looking sideways, he lowered his voice again, "What's the matter?" Why is your eldest brother's concubine dressed like that? Why did you come to the royal court to complain? β
"It's a long story." Zhou Shu didn't want to explain more, and grabbed Xiao Zheng's wrist, "Jin Shi, borrow your person and send a message to my mother." β
Jian Ying wanted to breastfeed the child, and she didn't want to be with Queen He, the tigress, so she stayed in the house to take care of the sundries. Although he can travel with him, he is not qualified to take his entourage with him, and he can't go back to report the news in person, so he can only borrow someone from Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng didn't know that he had a serious face, so he didn't ask much. beckoned a guard to come over, and went back to the palace to report the news according to Zhou Shu's instructions.
While he was talking, Xiao Zhengqian had already started the interrogation again.
"Who are you? What are the grievances? Hurry up. On a first-come, first-served basis, he asked the young man questions first.
"Du Jinkao, a grass citizen, is a native of Xi'an, Shaanxi. The grass people want to sue the Jian family for treachery, and promise the grass people's fiancΓ©e to someone else, break the contract and marry another. β
I don't know how many times I have rehearsed this in private, but I said it quickly and slipperily, concisely and clearly, and went straight to the point.
Hearing the word "Jian family", the faces of the people present all changed, and even Xiao Zhengqian gasped, and couldn't help but confirm with Du Jinkao, "Which Jian family are you suing?" β
