259 Tell her husband with a wife
Lou Yun was busy with Chen Wenchang's family affairs, and Ji Qingchen sent people to summon Xiao to the mansion from time to time to speak, but the aftermath of this treasonous secret case was getting bigger and bigger.
Three days later, Empress Dowager Wu finally died of illness.
In their sadness, the official family reprimanded Prime Minister Han for not serving filial piety and serving the sick insincerely.
The Wazi opera troupe that sang in the Han Mansion in those nights were all imprisoned, and after a beating of the board, they were driven out of the capital.
And Prime Minister Han was also stripped of his position in military affairs in Pingzhang, allowing him to reflect behind closed doors.
Because Jin Song was still fighting in Jeju, Shandong, the war was about to break out.
The post of Pingzhang Military Affairs, which was also in charge of both government affairs and military affairs, was retained.
Instead, another Governor of the Political Affairs Hall, Lord Gan, sat in this position.
"Master Gan has a niece and granddaughter."
The weather entered the summer, Lou Yun and her took a riverboat out of the back door of the house, and sailed along the river in the city to the north of the city.
"I inquired, Gan Xiaoniang has a dignified appearance and should be worthy of Chen Wenchang. I originally wanted him to marry the daughter of the Xie family. It's a pity that Mr. Xie didn't agree. Thinking that this time he didn't sit in this position of Pingzhang military and state affairs, he was a little disheartened and didn't want the official family to worry more. ”
The Xie family has already produced a queen, and the official family can't let the Xie family's power be too heavy.
The Xie family recruits a son-in-law again, so it's better to keep a low profile.
Chen Wenchang's style is accustomed to being high-profile.
"If you see it, I will ask Xie Qiniang to help me go to the palace to intercede, and ask the queen to be the master of this marriage, right?"
Ji Qingchen has now dressed up as a woman.
She is beautiful in spring, and her eyes are full of affection. She wears a hairpin purple crown on her head, a white silk skirt with a light red and heavy pattern silver gauze tunic skirt, and a purple and blue jade ribbon tied at the waist.
Lou Yun has also been promoted to an official position, and he can change into a heavy purple second-grade official robe and a purple jade belt.
The summer breeze was clear, and he sat with her on the cloud couch of the painting boat and whispered.
Chen Hong couldn't wait to marry the Gan family, and Chen Wenchang didn't object, he just said that the family was not worthy, and he had to think about it. Wait until he has the right words. You can go and ask the queen for this favor again. ”
When the eyes were raised, the joy in the eyes of the newlyweds was exchanged, and the affection was blended.
The river breeze blows the face. The bamboo curtain is half rolled, and she is picturesque with him.
Lou Ling, who was with the boat, stared blankly, drooling.
It's a pity that she can't jump into Lou Yun's arms like when she was a child and kiss his beautiful face.
Lou Ling was still thinking. When did Ah Chi marry her. The boat gradually traveled to the vicinity of the Chengbei Temple.
At this time, I saw that the teahouses and wineries on Dali Temple Street were full of people coming and going.
Idlers, like Ji Qingchen, came here to inquire about this sensational case in the capital.
Xiao sued her husband Lin Hongzhi for the crime of bullying the king.
"Brother, sister-in-law."
Zhao Deyuan saluted in the car, and Ji Laosan, who accompanied the lady, booked a private room in the teahouse directly opposite Dali Temple, and the trial in the middle hall could be seen from the window.
There are also many helpers in the teahouse who sell news in a timely manner.
"We just sent her in. It's also convenient to pick her up outside. There are so many idlers watching the excitement. ”
Because of the lady's request, Ji Laosan brought forty or fifty stout domestic servants and Zhuang Han to support the scene.
Such a formation is to avoid the retreat of the Xiao family. Surrounded by idlers and scoundrels.
"Then we'll go in."
Lou Yun smiled and nodded, and broke up with the Ji couple in front of the teahouse.
He took Ji Qingchen in a circle. From the side door of Dali Temple into the back hall.
"Lord Lou, it's clear to listen here, and you won't let outsiders see it."
Lord Zhou, the criminal name promoter in Dali Temple, was originally a small clerk beside Lou Yun, and now he is about to go to court.
He arranged Lou Yun and Ji Qingchen in a small room next to the public hall, so that they could listen carefully through the window.
After Ji Qingchen sat down, he lifted the Luo gauze scarf on the brim of his hat, and the shocking wood outside sounded.
"The woman standing in the hall, report her name!"
"Concubine Xiao's ......"
Ji Qingchen sighed.
Lou Yun looked at Ji Qingchen with pity on her face, knowing that she was sympathetic to the Xiao family.
She is a scholarly woman, but she wants to show up in the lobby, and she is still suing her husband, which is extremely unfavorable to the Xiao family in the Great Song Dynasty.
He didn't feel pitiful, and laughed softly:
"Don't worry. She was just about to leave, but her father was sick in bed, and of course she had to come out on her own. ”
"Even if it's a win. After being sentenced to reconciliation and divorce, she sued her husband with her wife, and she was also punished with a hundred rods and sent to prison for three months. ”
Ji Qingchen has already checked the law of the Great Song Dynasty.
She couldn't help but remember that when Xiao had the intention of suing her husband, this innocent woman said to her in the mansion:
"If I had been fighting for the damage of my reputation and arguing with Lin Hongzhi face to face, I would have determined that he had stolen into my house with bad intentions. In front of Chen Shanchang, there may not be a reason for arguing. At least I was at ease. ”
Prime Minister Han thought about it behind closed doors, and then Lin Hongzhi was kicked out of Taicang Academy.
Less than two months later, Xiao returned to his parents' house and waited for his very sick father.
She didn't do anything else, but after discussing with her father, she personally came forward to rent an honest concubine room that she had picked before, and asked her to take care of her father.
She sued Lin Hongzhi to Dali Temple for a case.
She didn't write anything else in the pleading, but wrote that after Lin Hongzhi made meritorious service by sea, he and his classmates were personally ordered by the official family and awarded the official.
He was given a civil servant position in Taicang County.
In just a few months, Lin Hongzhi accepted bribes from 40 acres of paddy fields and 600 yuan of property in the criminal prosecution prison.
"Bullying the monarch and disappointing the emperor."
Xiao Shi smiled lightly:
"He refused to leave, and beat me every day when he was drunk at home. Chen Shanchang personally came forward, and this person also said that I was a concubine, not a wife, and even if he was taken away from this office, he would take me back to Sichuan to sell others. If Chen Shanchang said more, he would argue on the street, saying that the Chen family was going to snatch his wife. ”
"Even if I sue him for marrying a wife in two places, and there is no separation between wives and concubines, the government will not sentence me to divorce."
“……”
Ji Qingchen had the intention to ask the general to beat this person to death and let him write a book of reconciliation, but he didn't want to leave a handle for Han Fu.
"This Lin Hongzhi dared to go to sea many times, and dared to marry his wife in two places, he was a bold and reckless character. He knew that Prime Minister Han was only temporarily degraded. He was the first to discuss the Northern Expedition, and his contribution was great, and there were many henchmen in the DPRK and China. It is impossible for the official family to dispose of it at will. ”
Lou Yun sighed.
Even he was inconvenient to come forward.
This is a complaint that Xiao's fish is dead.
"I have nothing to fear anymore."
When Xiao left the mansion the day before the complaint, he whispered like this.
……
Only the figures in the main hall could be seen through the window.
Fortunately, there is a sound transmission device in this yamen public house.
Ji Qingchen and Lou Yun heard the case clearly in the small door.
In this case, as Zhou Daren, the magistrate of Dali Temple, said to Lou Yun, the evidence of Lin Hongzhi's bribery is conclusive.
According to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, for such a great crime as bullying the king, the wife can ask for reconciliation.
Dali Temple Zhou Tuiguan is the first instance, just look at the complaint without going through the hall has been sentenced and separated, today he is accompanied by Dali Temple Cheng in the middle hall to publicly judge the case.
Then it has to be handed over to the criminal department before the case can be finalized. (To be continued......)
