Chapter Sixty-Eight: Confrontation in Court

Yin Shi Changgeng of Jingzhao Mansion was on a business trip for a day, and when he returned to the back house, he was just about to be comfortable. But when he heard someone beating a drum, he was very angry. But who let Jing Zhaoyin take charge of the affairs of the capital, the responsibility is heavy, at this time, the drumming must not be a trivial matter, and it cannot be postponed to tomorrow, so he has to call people to change clothes.

After listening to the report of the officer, Shi Changgeng suddenly felt a little interesting. The proprietor of the second largest pharmacy in Beijing became the defendant, and the witness was the proprietor of the largest pharmacy in Beijing. The bitter lord is the owner of a newly opened pharmacy. This look is a mountain and two tigers fighting, and the bitter master was made into a raft?

However, Shi Changgeng smiled secretly, no matter who he knocked down, this was a lawsuit with oil and water.

Thinking of this, Shi Changgeng's mood became better. Take your time and let them dry.

After changing into an official robe and drinking fragrant tea, Shi Changgeng went to the front of the mansion.

Although it has been a busy day, the officials are standing on both sides, as always, mighty and extraordinary, and the ordinary people have long been frightened by this momentum.

Shi Changgeng sat upright, patted the startled hall with a "snap", and cleared his throat, "Who is in the hall?" Why drumming? ”

Yun Fan, who was dressed in white on weekdays, was bloodstained and stained on his body at this moment, and his clothes were scratched, looking a little miserable, and he stepped forward and said: "Master, the younger one is Yun Fan, the servant of Yunshu, the owner of Yishengtang, who sued Wan Shiming, the owner of Wan'an Hall, and instructed the servants to kidnap my owner Yunshu and the small one, and injured my owner. The proprietor of this Jishengtang is a small witness. ”

"Which is the owner of Yishengtang? Why don't you say anything, but let the domestic servants speak for you? Shi Changgeng raised his eyes casually, with a threat in his voice.

"Master, my owner is young, and after being kidnapped by Wan Shiming, he was not only injured, but also greatly frightened, with a high fever and medication, so he couldn't get to the church." Yun Fan hurriedly explained.

"In this way, which one is the defendant Wan Shiming?"

"Master, I'm Wan Shiming." Although this Xue Yu is a sworn enemy, this is none of his business, he has to get involved, he just wants to do something. He didn't see anything, what was the mix? The reason why the yamen is open to the south is very clear to Wan Shiming. Wan Shiming is worth a lot, and he is not afraid of this Yishengtang and Jishengtang.

"What this Yun family servant said, is it true?" Shi Changgeng is full of officialdom.

"My lord is aware that this is pure falsehood. I was resting in the manor outside the city today, and this Xue Yu led people to break in, not only wounding my servants, but also framing me. I only have a one-sided relationship with the owner of the Yishengtang, and it was he who gave me an invitation to invite me to the door. The old man is clear, I really have no reason to go and plunder the owner of Yishengtang! And my domestic servant is still tied up outside by Xue Yu's people. ”

Wan Shiming made a few rakes, anyway, the silver is in place, are you afraid that he Xue Yu will not succeed?

And so it was. Shi Changgeng smiled even more happily in his heart, but he didn't show the slightest on his face.

"Which is the witness Xue Yu?" Shi Changgeng continued to ask.

"Master, I'm Xue Yu." Xue Yu was not humble or silent.

"Are you as Wan Shiming said, kidnapping his family's servants?"

"Master, Xue's kidnapping is a murderer, and Wan Dongjia said that he was a servant of his family, but he can be recognized." Xue Yu said.

Shi Changgeng said in his heart: This Xue Yu is ruthless. Just as he was about to pass on the servants, a small official turned out from behind and whispered in Shi Changgeng's ear.

Shi Changgeng looked at the people in the hall, thoughtfully, got up and went to the back hall.

"Master Shi is working hard, he is still trying the case so late." Liu Chengxi said.

"Yo, Liu Gongzi, Yo, Li Gongzi, Yo, Shen Gongzi, ah, Tang Gongzi. I'm here in Jingzhao Mansion today, it's really a great honor to have so many distinguished guests here! Sit down, sit down! He said to the people behind him, "Hurry up and serve a few sons good tea, what are you doing stupidly?" ”

The official was a little embarrassed, because as soon as he finished speaking, the little boy came up with tea.

"A few sons, please have tea! I don't dare to work hard, I am also in my position, planning his own affairs, managing the affairs of Beijing, for Lord Liu, for Lord Li, and for the saints. ”

Shi Changgeng couldn't hold back the smile in his heart anymore. He is a native of Yoo Chengjiang, and a few months ago the court purged him, because he happened to close two major Gyeonggi cases, which saved him from prison. But he was in constant fear. He wanted to get closer to Li Wensheng's group, but Li Wensheng didn't understand the emperor's intentions and didn't accept him for a while. It was Shi Changgeng who was always worried that Li Wensheng would find an opportunity to step down because he was once Liu Chengjiang's person.

Today, these noble sons actually came together, and anyone who said a good word for him in front of his own Lao Tzu, so that he could get closer to the new group, it was all unwanted. He smiled so much that his eyes were bent into crescents, and the folds piled up at the corners of his eyes were a bit sparkling.

Shen Siyao didn't want to listen to him continue to brag there, so he said, "I don't know what case Lord Shi is trying so hard at this late hour?" ”

Shi Changgeng saw that these people were interested in the case, and hurriedly said, "This case is still somewhat interesting." A servant of a small pharmacy called Yishengtang said that the owner of Wan'antang, the second largest pharmacy in Beijing, had abducted and injured his owner, while the owner of Jishitang, the largest pharmacy in Beijing, testified that the servant of the small pharmacy was true. ”

"I don't know what Master Shi thinks of this case?" Li Weihan said.

"At first glance, this is a fight between two major pharmacies, and the small pharmacy is used as a gun." Shi Changgeng said with a smile.

But among the few people, none of them gave him a smile, and they all looked at him with cold faces.

Shi Changgeng's smile froze on his face. His head spun rapidly. It seems that these sons are here for this. But for a while, I couldn't figure out which side these people were facing, and I couldn't do it for a while.

"I just went to see a friend. He went out to visit his teacher today, and he didn't want to fly into trouble and be taken captive, and when he was rescued, he was covered in blood, and he was very sick. Alas, what a pitiful. Liu Chengxi pouted and shook his head, his eyebrows and eyes were full of sympathy and lament for that friend's tragic experience.

Shi Changgeng immediately understood, and said righteously: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are frequent acts of captivity, and I don't take my Jingzhao Mansion seriously!" I immediately ordered to go down and strengthen the security patrols in the capital, and severely punish the offenders to set an example! Justice to the victims! ”

"Lord Shi is really dedicated to the people! If there were more characters like Master Shi, it would be much easier for my father and Lord Li to do things. Liu Chengxi said with a smile.

Shi Changgeng was even more happy when he heard this.

"Some time ago, the Holy Authority just allowed the Imperial Pharmacy to choose from the people to worship, precisely because he felt that the medicinal materials in Beijing were very good. But now something like this has happened, tsk. I think that this medicinal herb store maliciously bullied the rising star, which greatly affected the normal operation of the medicinal herb shop, and this kind of crooked trend cannot be raised. ”

Tang Ansheng sighed, raising his personal grievances to the height of the emperor's imperial medicine safety, and Shi Changgeng nodded yes.

Tang Gongzi's words are reasonable. This unhealthy trend must be suppressed. This, this ... ”

Shi Changgeng still has to find some matching words, Tang Ansheng looked forward to the future, and continued: "But it is still necessary to avoid overcorrection and affect the vitality of the medicinal material market." The hundreds of industries in the capital are still vibrant, and cooperation with each other is what the saints are happy to see today. ”

"That's it, that's it! Tang Gongzi is really quick-witted! Analyze the affairs and be organized! Impressive! ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, just feel it for a while." was praised by Jing Zhaoyin like this, and he was really a little uncomfortable.

Liu Chengxi saw that the point had been completed so far, so he said: "Lord Shi has done his best for the safety of the people in the capital, and my son has seen it with his own eyes today, and he will definitely tell his father if he has the opportunity." Master Shi still has a case to try, so we won't delay here. I took my leave. ”

Shi Changgeng got Liu Chengxi's words, and he was a little happy, "A few sons walk slowly." I always come and sit when I have time. ”

Several people laughed and said, "Farewell." Lord Shi still has a case to try, so there is no need to send him away. ”

Out of Jingzhao Mansion, Shen Siyao quipped: "Chengxi, you are actually in the name of Lord Liu, are you really not afraid of Lord Liu's power?" ”

"Tsk, isn't this a beautiful thing to do today? Our brothers sang and harmonized, and they became more and more one! I can imagine Xiao Jiu calling me Brother Thirteen and thanking me! You say yes, right? Wehramp? Liu Chengxi said with a smile.

Li Weihan said seriously: "I think this Jing Zhaoyin is still relatively serious, and he is still trying the case at this time, and it is not impossible to mention it to your father." ”

"And me? Who will boast about me? I think I did a good job today! Tang Ansheng said.

"Xiao Jiu will say, oops, Tenth Brother, you are really amazing!" Liu Chengxi pinched his throat and smiled.

"Look at you dead! When did Xiao Jiu speak like this? Tang Ansheng said with a disgusted face.

"Weihan, what are you thinking?" Shen Siyao said.

Li Weihan replied, "Well, it's nothing. It's not early, let's go back, we have a lot of work today. ”

What else did Liu Chengxi have to say, Shen Siyao whipped his horse's buttocks, and the whole person rushed out of the team.

"Si Yao, you actually treated your thirteenth brother like this? Wait for Ha, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late! Liu Chengxi said and walked non-stop, and the people who followed him hurriedly followed.

Everyone laughed behind them: "Brother Thirteen is easy to go!" ”

"Go back too." Li Weihan said to the two.

"What about you?" Tang Ansheng said.

"I've got something to do." Li Weihan pointed to Yan Shizhen, who had just come over not far away.

"Then we'll go first." Shen Siyao said.

Li Weihan nodded. The two of them took their own families and rode away.

Li Weihan greeted Yan Shizhen and drove over.

"Li Gongzi." Yan Shizhen also drove his horse over.

"Mr. Yan, Jing Zhaoyin's side, everything has been explained clearly."

"Thank you Li Gongzi for helping."

Li Weihan waved his hand, with a hint of tiredness on his face, "Is Yunshu okay?" ”

"I should have slept with medicine by this time. Tomorrow will be much better. ”

"That's good. Mr. Yan wants to take good care of Yunshu, and in such a short period of time, this kind of thing happened twice. Although the first incident started because of me, it is better to be careful in the future. Li Weihan's tone was full of concern.

"What Li Gongzi said is true. Today, I was in Yishengtang for a free clinic, but I couldn't leave for a while, and I couldn't accompany her out of the city. It's scary to think about it now. ”

"Mr. Yan."

"Li Gongzi, please speak."

Li Weihan wanted to speak and stopped.

He wanted to know, but he was afraid to know. He has never been so timid in doing things. This looks like this, it really doesn't look like him. It's just that he is also a little inexplicable about himself like this. However, if you don't ask, you are really a little unwilling. For a while, my mind turned around.
