Chapter 199: The Petition (I)
"The Queen Mother, the Criminal Division is really too deceitful, and it actually broke into my Kaifeng Mansion and beat the court officials, it is simply lawless, and please punish the Queen Mother severely!" In the vertical arch hall, Zhou Shaoyin, who was in charge of Kaifeng Mansion, complained to Liu E behind the screen with a sad and indignant face.
Wang Qinruo and Wang Zeng and a group of deacons were also there, but at this time, they were all old gods standing there without speaking, because they all knew that Wu Shaoyin was actually taking the opportunity to attack the Criminal Division, speaking of which, the Criminal Division was a new yamen, and it was not established for a long time, and after the establishment of the Criminal Division, part of the power of Kaifeng Mansion was divided, which naturally caused dissatisfaction from the top and bottom of Kaifeng Mansion, but the Kaifeng Mansion did not dare to oppose it openly before, and now it is just a matter of using the topic.
Liu E behind the screen also looked helpless, although she had long known Lu Wu's temperament, but she didn't expect Lu Wu to dare to hit people directly, even if she wanted to protect Lu Wu, I'm afraid it would not be too much, at least the punishment on the surface must be indispensable.
"Why hasn't the king been sentenced yet?" Liu E was silent for a moment and then spoke again, now it is just the words of Shaoyin of Kaifeng Mansion, what is the truth of the matter, she still has to wait for the people from the Criminal Division to come over, of course, she doesn't know that Lu Wu went to Kaifeng Mansion because of the Jin family's affairs, and it has nothing to do with the Criminal Division.
As soon as Liu E's words fell, soon a chamberlain came to report, and the Wang Tixing of the Criminal Department finally arrived, so Liu E immediately let the other party in, Wang Tixing is an old man of fifty or sixty years old, tall and thin, with a strange appearance, and he walks a little slowly, and when he came to the main hall, he saluted Liu E and said: "The minister and the king salute to see the Queen Mother!" ”
"The king doesn't have to be polite to mention the punishment, the Kaifeng Mansion accused you of beating the court officials, do you know about this?" Liu E behind the screen asked directly.
"Huh? I don't know, but how could the people of our criminal department beat up the people who opened the feudal mansion for no reason? Wang Tixing was also stunned when he heard this, he really didn't know about it, in fact, when he was called, he was still full of doubts, and he couldn't understand why the Queen Mother suddenly called him into the palace?
"Hmph, Lu Wu of your Criminal Division broke into our Kaifeng Mansion in a rage today, not only beating the judge in our Mansion, but he didn't stop even after I went, and now Judge Wang is seriously injured and unconscious, will you mention such a big thing?" I saw Wu Shaoyin pointing at Wang Tixing at this time and said angrily, the Criminal Division had already taken away the authority of their Kaifeng Mansion, and now the other party's people ran to the mansion and beat their people, which naturally made him extremely angry.
"Wu Shaoyin, what is this called, I believe that our people in the Criminal Division will definitely not beat people for no reason, not to mention Judge Lu's temperament, I know that he has always been jealous and hateful, since he did it, he must have his own reasons!" Wang Ti Xing doesn't look at his age, but he is an extremely protective person, and listening to Wu Shaoyin's meaning, he actually wants to use this incident as an excuse to blame the Criminal Division, so he will naturally not show weakness at this time, otherwise he will not be able to convince the public in the future.
Wang Ti's words were also very polite, he said that Lu Wu would not beat people for no reason, and he was jealous and hateful, making it clear that the judge of Kaifeng Mansion was not a good person, which made Wu Shaoyin also angry and said: "What do you mean by Wang Ti Xing, are you all good people in the Criminal Division, and our Kaifeng Mansion is not a good person?" ”
"I didn't say that, but I think there must be a reason for this, and you can't do it at all just by relying on your Kaifeng Mansion's words!" Wang Tixing pouted at this time and said, although the authority of the Criminal Punishment Division is not as good as that of Kaifeng Mansion, but as a criminal officer, he is a fourth-grade, but Wu Shaoyin is only from the fourth grade, one level lower than him, so he is not afraid of the other party at all, of course, if it is Kaifeng Mansion Yin, the grade will be one level higher than him.
"You ......" Wu Shaoyin was also angry at this time, and just wanted to speak again, but he didn't expect to see a eunuch rushing to report at this time: "Qi Yu Niangniang, someone is beating the Dengwen drum!" ”
Liu E frowned when she heard the eunuch's report, and said with some displeasure: "You record what the drum beater asks for, why do you need to come to report it again?" ”
Although the drum is a way for the lower class people to reach the heavens, it cannot report anything, and it is generally recorded by the Drum Courtyard that the drum is beating, and then submitted to the palace, so the person who beats the drum generally does not see the emperor himself.
"Qi Yu Niangniang, this person who beats the drum is no one else, but ...... It's Li Companion Reading! Seeing that this eunuch also said with a sad face, they originally thought that Li Zhang was joking, but Li Zhang insisted that they enter the palace to report, and they didn't dare to offend Li Zhang, so they had no choice but to rely on courage to come in.
"Nonsense, Li Zhang, what is there that he can't talk about in the palace?" Liu E couldn't help but slap the table angrily when he heard this, Dengwen Drum Courtyard was only set up for those lower-class people, and I had never heard of an official who needed to beat the shocking drum, not to mention that Li Zhang had a waist card to enter the palace, and he could enter the palace at any time.
Li Ban said...... said...... "I saw that the eunuch secretly looked at Wu Shaoyin next to him at this time, and then he said boldly again, "Li Ban read that he was going to sue Kaifeng Mansion for taking people's lives and bending the law for bribes!" ”
"Nonsense!" As soon as the eunuch's words fell, Wu Shaoyin shouted with an angry expression, Kaifeng Mansion is the land of Gyeonggi and the head of the state capital in the world, and there are countless pairs of eyes on it at all, it can't be said that there is no filth at all, but he will never dare to disregard human life and bend the law for bribes, this is simply a basin on their heads.
"Hehe, is it nonsense, the Queen Mother called Li Banyu to ask and know, but I don't know what Wu Shaoyin is in a hurry, it won't be a weak heart, right?" Wang Tixing was also unforgiving at this time, and he sneered and said sarcastically.
"Hmph, this is a false accusation, what am I guilty of?" Wu Shaoyin snorted coldly and said angrily again, he knew something about Li Zhang, and he also knew that the other party was His Majesty's companion, but he really couldn't understand why Li Zhang suddenly came to complain and sued the entire Kaifeng Mansion?
"Cough~, the queen mother, the minister thinks that the king's punishment is reasonable, although Li Banyu is young, he must also know that Dengwen drum is not something that can be beaten casually, since he dares to beat the drum, there must be his reasons, it is better to invite him in now, and then ask him!" At this moment, Wang Qinruo, who had not spoken, suddenly stood up and said, it was not good for him to favor anyone when it came to the fight between the two yamen just now, but he owed Li Zhang a favor, so he also helped Li Zhang speak at this time.
"It's okay, Xuan Li Zhang's audience!" Liu E also wanted to see why Li Zhang wanted to sue Kaifeng Mansion, and nodded at the moment.
