Chapter Forty-Six: The Day Shows the Righteousness and the Snow
Xiuniang walked into the lobby and saw Li Laohan's body lying on the mat, covering her face with a white cloth, and crying bitterly: "Dad," she pounced on the corpse. The sorrow of this cry shocked the world, the ghosts and gods of the wrongs, and the people of the Yang Mansion secretly left after putting down the silver taels. In the dark night, a few people walked out, one of them was Gongzi Qi, Gongzi Qi walked in and stood at the door, and told the two stunned people to step forward and help up the embroidery girl.
"Girl, here are some silver taels to buy a coffin to bury the old man first, my son-in-law will make the decision for you."
Xiuniang got up and looked at Gongzi Qi behind the second stunned son, jumped forward and knelt down and said, "My lord, you have to be the master of the people's daughter!" Gongzi Qi picked up the embroidery girl and said: "Girl, don't worry, I will definitely clear your grievances and put the murderer in accordance with the law." At this time, many officers and soldiers rushed in and surrounded them in the middle, and drew steel knives.
"Who is the county magistrate of Pengcheng County, Feng Qingmao?"
"I," the county commander walked in and stood in front of Gongzi Qi, his waist was very straight, and he said very arrogantly: "I am the county commander Feng Qingmao." ”
"Do you know what you're doing?"
"Don't you know? Li Laohan was killed by you. ”
After hearing this, Gongzi Qi felt very ridiculous, and laughed a few times, and said, "I want to hear how I killed Li Laohan, do you want to do an autopsy?" ”
"Clever tongue, don't you want to hear it, okay, this official wants to convince you to die. You committed adultery with Xiu Niang, and you were later discovered by Li Laohan, so you thought of killing Li Laohan first. But paper can't contain the fire, I'm afraid that your ugly story will be leaked so that her man, Li San, will know, and now I came here to discuss how to poison Li San. ”
"Well, well said, good, but what about the evidence? On what basis? ”
"Tonight, you have a private meeting with the embroidery girl."
"My lord, the people's daughter is wronged, and the people's daughter doesn't know this person at all," Xiuniang knelt down in front of the county order.
"Shut up, you doggy man." The county magistrate turned back to Gongzi and said: "Skynet is restored and not leaked, I was caught by this official tonight, someone is here, take down this thief." ”
Several officers and soldiers rushed forward, and the second stunned man stood in front of Gongzi Qi, glared at him left and right, and said, "Who of you dare!" Roaring back at these officers and soldiers who came forward, Gongzi Qi said to the second stunned man in front of him: "You stand down." The second stunned man retreated behind Gongzi Qi, and Gongzi Qi approached the county order and took out an official voucher and said, "Open your dog's eyes and take a good look." ”
The county order was stunned at this time, and took a piece of official certificate in Gongzi Qi's hand, which read, "Fengdong Palace Crown Prince Gongzi Qi is the general of the Northern Imperial Palace," and the seal of the king was stamped below. Lord Feng of the county order held this official certificate, his hands trembled constantly, and his legs were weak and knelt in front of Gongzi Qi.
"His Royal Highness the Prince."
Several officers and soldiers standing at the door saw the county commander kneeling in front of Gongzi Qi, and they all knelt down and shouted, "His Royal Highness the Prince." Including the second stunned and embroidered girl knelt in front of Gongzi Qi, and Gongzi Qi helped the second stunned son and Xiuniang to walk in front of the county order.
"Your story is well written, there are basically no loopholes in the interlocking, since you have such eloquence, why don't you lobby the monarch, lobby the world, do practical things for the people, and seek benefits for the people? Poisoning the people and letting Li Laohan die unjustly in the lobby, come on, pull out his official uniform and bring him back to the county office, and the court will open tomorrow to try the case. ”
Early in the morning, Li Sanxing went to the gate of the county government to beat drums and sound grievances, why didn't he appear sooner or later? Because Gongzi Qi is wise, he is now in the county government hall in Pengcheng to clear his grievances, so he rushed to the county government gate. At this time, Gongzi Qi was sitting in the lobby of the county government, kneeling under the hall was Xiuniang and the county order Feng Qingmao, Gongzi Qi stepped forward and was about to ask Xiuniang the reason, and a government official came forward and said: "My lord, Li San is now beating drums at the gate of the county government and complaining. ”
"Okay, it's just in time, bring Li San to the hall."
The official walked to the gate of the county government and brought Li San into the lobby, and Li San then walked in and stood at the entrance of the lobby, stunned, and shouted: "Embroidery Niang." ”
"Xianggong," Li San ran forward and knelt next to the embroidered lady and said, "My lord, please call the shots for the grass people!" ”
"Could it be Li San who is kneeling in the hall?"
"It's the grass people."
"Bring the information of injustice to the court, and His Highness will make the decision for you."
"My lord, the grass people have a complaint here, suing Lord Feng Qingmao for killing my father Li Laosan," Li San took out a silk scarf from his waist rope, and Gongzi Qiling Xiong Ganglie took the complaint and looked at it, walked down the hall and stood in front of the county order, and said: "Lord County Order, this is a complaint against you, what else do you have to say now?" ”
"The lower official is guilty," the county commander was trembling in cold sweat all over his body, and his head hit the ground.
"Put the county order Feng Qingmao on death row, and ask the city of Xicheng on a certain day."
"Your Highness, spare your life! The lower official has something to say," the county commander Feng Qingmao raised his head and looked at Gongzi Qi in front of him.
"If you have anything else to say, say it."
"There is one person to recommend from the lower officials, Zhang Ji of Wei, this person has great talent to assist His Highness in creating a great cause."
"If this person is really talented, then the official will take credit, but it is a matter of course to exchange life for life, you beat Li Laohan to death in the hall, his crime is inevitable, and I will take good care of your family."
"Your Highness."
After the two officials stepped forward and escorted the county commander Feng Qingmao, they turned around and walked in front of Li San and Xiuniang, helped Li San and Xiuniang to take out some silver taels: "There are some silver taels here, bury your father when you go back, and live a good life." ”
Li San and Xiuniang knelt down and said, "Master Xie Qingtian." ”
"Please get up, please get up, I'm not a big man, this is the duty of an official, go back, live a good life."
Li San and Xiuniang walked out and looked back at Gongzi Qi in front of the hall, Gongzi Qi waved his hand to go back. After entering the back hall, he called his senior brother Chen Zizhen and said: "Senior brother, I have recommended you to my father to be the commander of Pengcheng County, and Mr.'s benevolent government ideas can be implemented in our country." ”
"His Royal Highness Xie recommends," Chen Zizhen knelt in front of Gongzi Qi.
"Don't be polite, you and I are brothers, come and take a look at this complaint, explain the pros and cons of Peng Cheng, the sentence is concise and to the point, this person must be talented."
Chen Zizhen stepped forward to take the complaint in Gongziqi's hand, looked at it and said: "This person clarified the idea of Legalist reform, briefly explained the cause and cause of this unjust case, and secretly expressed his Legalist thoughts. ”
"This complaint was obtained from Li San's hands, I think Li San must know this person, and I will visit Li San's house tomorrow."
