Qu Ping sounded the drum of redress of grievances, and the yamen asked what was going on, and on the one hand, he escorted the plaintiff and the defendant in to await trial, and on the other hand, he went to invite the prefect, and on the other hand, he respectfully asked Qu Ping to go to the yamen to sit down for a while.

The people gathered around the door, full of anticipation for the outcome of the case personally interrogated by the general of the auxiliary state.

The prefect held his hat and trotted all the way to the yamen, greeted Qu Ping respectfully, asked him to sit aside to listen to the trial, and then sat down in his place.

The officials stood on both sides, and the killing rod stood solemnly, shouting to ascend to the hall, mighty.

The prefect knocked heavily on the shocking wood and said, "Who is the bitter master, and what grievances do you have to complain?" ”

The two knelt on the ground, and the plaintiff told with tears in his eyes: "Lord Hui, the villain Bai Lang, my mother Diao is usually in good health, and she sought treatment from Dr. Tang Shenwei in the Tai Hospital because of the occasional wind cold, and Dr. Tang only prescribed medicine to treat wind and cold when he knew that his mother had cardiopulmonary diseases, so that my mother fell ill and died that night!" The little one is so bitter, my mother is enjoying her life, but she suffered this bad luck, leaving me an orphan, lonely! ”

The prefect knocked on the shocked wood and said: "Okay, what kind of system is crying and crying in the public court!" Does the defendant have any claims? ”

Tang Shenwei said: "The prefect and the general of the auxiliary country are above, and the old Tang Shenwei is a doctor in the hospital." The plaintiff's mother did suffer from a cold five days ago and came to me to prescribe medicine, when the old man was diagnosed with a heart and lung disease, and the wind and cold were on the surface, which was afraid of causing heart and lung problems, and even life-threatening, I warned her that she must treat this disease, but the old man said that the family was poor and refused to accept systematic treatment. In the end, Lao Yu had to prescribe medicine for her to treat wind and cold, and repeatedly told her to wait for her family to come back and be sure to seek medical attention in time, and if she felt unwell, she must also seek medical attention! ”

The prefect said, "Plaintiff, what is your profession, and why does the Lingtang Society have no money to see a doctor?" ”

The Song Dynasty paid attention to filial piety, and if Bai Lang had no money to serve his mother, he was at fault first. Bai Lang said: "The little one used to run a silk business in Hangzhou, but then he did not do well, and now he is free at home. ”

The prefect said, "Then what is your appeal?" ”

"Murder pays for life, but as the saying goes, God has the virtue of a good life, and Dr. Tang has an inevitable relationship with the death of his mother.

Qu Ping interjected: "Lord Fu Yin, let me interject, the key person in this case died naturally, if you want to determine whether she died of her own disease or died because of taking Dr. Tang's medicine, the only way to do this may be to open the coffin for an autopsy." ”

Bai Lang said: "No, my mother has already settled in the ground, don't disturb the peace of the old man!" ”

Fu Yin said: "Now that the weather is cold, why did you bury your mother so early?" ”

"Small money is limited." Bai Lang hesitated and said.

"Well, I know what you are talking about, and I know what your claims are, plaintiff. Only as the general said, the coffin was opened for an autopsy. ”

Bai Lang hurriedly said: "No! My lord! No! ”

The prefect patted the case and said: "The two of them will go home for the time being, and they will be called by the government at any time, if they dare to abscond, the crime will be increased!" ”

The official said that the two of them were invited out of the yamen, Qu Ping got up and said to Fu Yin: "This Bai Lang may have other plans, and it is recommended to carry out an in-depth investigation and evidence collection for him and his neighbors." ”

Fu Yin said: "What General Qu said is extremely true, and the lower officials will immediately send someone to do it together!" ”

"The sooner the better!" Qu Ping said, "Then I'll take my leave first." You're busy, and you're always waiting for your progress! ”

"Would you like General Qu to stay for lunch?"

"No, Lord Fu Yin has the energy to worry more about the case. Farewell! ”

Tang Shenwei carried his tools and waited for Qu Ping outside the yamen, Qu Ping made him frown slightly, and said: "Don Tang, you relax, I will definitely let them find out the truth and give you justice!" I think he's just asking for money! I've seen this kind of thing a lot. ”

Tang Shen thanked Qu Ping slightly, but he still couldn't be happy. When I arrived at Qu Mansion, I saw Steward Huang, diagnosed a sprained foot, and went back gloomily after prescribing medicine.

Xiao Lu had already gotten up for breakfast, and was seeing Tang Shen go out with his head bowed slightly. Xiao Lu didn't know Tang Shenwei, she asked, "Why did you invite a Lang Zhong early in the morning?" ”

"I wanted to show you if you were happy, but I saw that you left first before you got up." Qu Ping laughed.

The others quickly lowered their heads and pretended not to hear anything.

Xiao Lu blushed and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

After in-depth communication last night, Xiao Lu has more of a woman's charm, and her smile is even more charming.

Qu Ping stopped joking with her, and told her the truth: "In the morning, Steward Huang sprained his foot, and I went to the Tai Hospital to ask Dr. Tang Shenwei, whom I knew before, and happened to meet someone who was looking for him to make trouble, so I took them to the prefect's yamen for interrogation. ”

Xiao Lu asked Steward Huang with concern: "Uncle Huang, are you okay?" ”

Steward Huang said excitedly, "It's nothing. Thank you for your concern. Madam, don't call me Uncle Huang, the villain can't stand it, you can still call me Steward Huang or Lao Huang. ”

Xiao Lu said: "It's okay to rest assured." Master, let Xiaohong Xiaolu accompany me to go shopping in Yingtian City in the afternoon, those ladies gave me so many things, I see what good things are on the street, buy some things and visit them. ”

"Okay, but be safe! Let Xiao Gangxiao help you carry your things. Qu Ping said, "Are you helping me with lady diplomacy?" ”

"Whatever you want." Xiao Lu said with a smile.

Qu Ping finished breakfast, went to the stables to feed the little white dragon, helped it brush its body, and then found a copy of the West Lake Longjing that had just come out this year in yesterday's gifts, made tea, took a book and looked at it, so comfortable. In the afternoon, I didn't worry about Xiao Lu going out, and followed him as a bodyguard.

Shopping with women is a marathon.

Handsome men and beautiful women walk on the street with two little maids and two maids, and it is strange that they are not eye-catching.

Xiao Lu whispered: "Dear General Qu, but there are a lot of young girls who are just starting to look at you, don't you say hello to others?" ”

Qu Ping said righteously: "Ben Shuai is weak for three thousand, and he will only take you a scoop." ”

Xiao Lu saw the jewelry store and said, "There is a jewelry store there, and the wives of those generals and ministers have given a lot of jewelry, and I have to thank them in return." ”

"They give you jewelry, and you give them back jewelry, and there is nothing new at all." Qu Ping said.

"Then what did you say?"

"In other words, if you give you a headdress, you will give her a hand ornament, and if you give you rouge, you will give her cloth clothes."

"You have such an idea, why don't you buy it for me?" Xiao Lu said.

Qu Ping said: "Forget it, I don't understand your women's minds." ”

The two of them went to pick out some beautiful jewelry and continued to shop.

Yingtian City has a population of at least 1.5 million, with many shops and crowded streets, why is there no traffic, because it is not allowed to ride horses quickly. Xiao Lu is very curious about many novelty objects on the street, she said that your big Song people have good heads, and you have all kinds of strange skills.

She and the two maids were eating with candy men in their hands, and when they saw this, they saw that and they went to see it, and the three men were completely reduced to vassals.

The various styles of performing arts on the street are the most pleasing.

At the corner of the street, a woman in her thirties led a little girl of five or six years old, dressed in sloppy clothes and dirty skin, squatting on the corner of the street, begging along the street with a porcelain bowl in front of her, with only a few small copper plates in the bowl.

Xiao Lu grabbed Qu Ping's sleeve and whispered: "This mother and daughter are so pitiful, what about their men?" ”

Qu Ping looked at the mother and daughter, walked over and put a string of copper plates in.

The little girl said crisply, "Thank you, uncle." ”

Qu Ping stroked the little girl's head and said, "Really good, tell uncle, how are you begging for a living here, I don't think you have been begging for a long time, what about your father?" ”

"Daddy was killed by Jin Bing."

Her mother broke down and cried all of a sudden: "My husband died in battle, leaving only our mother and daughter, lonely, and the only house was sold by my uncle and drove my mother and daughter out." ”

Qu Ping said: "Didn't the imperial court pay a pension? ”

"I only have a salary of 10,000 yuan a year when I am alive, how can I compensate if I die!?" The woman cried.

The local soldiers of the Song Dynasty were all recruited soldiers, 10,000 yuan was ten taels, and a soldier's annual salary was ten taels of silver, and there was no compensation for death. Qu Ping thought to himself, no money, it is estimated that it is one of the reasons for the Song soldiers' combat strength, and this problem must be solved.

Qu Ping said to the woman: "There is one less cook in my house, so you can come to my house for the time being to do things, so that your daughter will not sleep in the open at a young age." I will ask the imperial court for a resettlement method for your group of military families!" ”

The woman pulled her daughter to her knees and thanked her: "Thank you, thank you, my lord, the queen of the people, I will definitely serve the old lady well." Shuzhen, kowtow to your benefactor! ”

The little girl who was called Shuzhen thanked without hesitation: "My name is Zhu Shuzhen, thank you for taking us in." ”

Xiao Lu pulled the two up and said, "What a well-behaved little girl, wash it and change her clothes, she must be a beautiful embryo." Let's go, my sister will take you to buy beautiful clothes first! ”

The little girl Zhu Shuzhen said: "I don't need beautiful clothes, I heard the gentleman in the private school say: There is poetry and books in the belly, which means that if you have the cultural heritage of books in your belly, your temperament will be naturally beautiful." ”

"Haha, you know that. However, my sister thinks that having beautiful clothes can increase your temperament even more, which is called icing on the cake! Xiao Lu pulled Zhu Shuzhen and took her to buy clothes without saying anything.

Wang followed behind Xiaohong and Xiaolu, and began to ask the government if there were any taboos and requirements, so as not to make mistakes.
