Chapter 668: Shouting Grievances
When Li Zhang's carriage was about to go home, he didn't expect a figure to suddenly appear next to him, which made the guards around the carriage also startled, and immediately pulled out their weapons to protect the carriage and shouted "There is an assassin", and then two people rushed forward to arrest the assassin.
However, to their surprise, this so-called "assassin" was pounced on, and then they only heard the other party scream and shouted: "The villain has a strange grievance in the sea of blood, please Dingbeihou administers justice for the villain!" ”
With this shout, Li Zhang finally understood that this so-called assassin was actually a roadblock and shouted grievances, which was equivalent to petitions in later generations, but the ancient justice was darker, and there were countless people who were wronged.
For this reason, the Great Song Dynasty also set up the Dengwen Drum, but the Dengwen Drum is not so easy to beat, sometimes even if the wronged person riskes death to come to the capital, but there is no chance to beat the Dengwen Drum, and even if it is knocked, it may not be conveyed to the emperor's ears, so many people think of another way, that is, to stop the important ministers of the imperial court to shout grievances halfway, although the probability of success is very small, but for desperate people like them, it is also the last glimmer of hope.
However, Li Zhang frowned secretly at this time, although he was in a high position, he did not have real power, let alone these lawsuits and the like, so this person shouted injustice and shouted in front of his car It was really the wrong place.
Thinking of this, Li Zhang also didn't want to care about it, after all, the Great Song Dynasty is so big, there are too many people who have grievances, if he has to take care of everything, I'm afraid that even if he is tired to death, he won't be able to manage it, so he ordered in a deep voice: "Drag people aside, don't embarrass him!" ”
After Li Zhang finished speaking, he wanted people to drive the carriage to his home, but he didn't expect the person who was dragged by the guards to shout again: "Dingbei Hou, the villain's whole family of fifty-seven people, all died at the hands of traitors, for the sake of the villain who came from Quanzhou thousands of miles away to cry out for grievances, please Dingbei Hou redress the villain's grievances!" ”
The man's voice was sharp and tragic, and it spread far away in the night sky, attracting many pedestrians on the street to look this way, but no one dared to approach, and Li Zhang didn't want to care about this kind of thing, but when he heard the word "Quanzhou", his heart couldn't help but move.
"Bring him closer!" Li Zhang commanded again at this time, and the guards immediately agreed when they heard this, and then brought the person who shouted grievances to Li Zhang's car, and picked up the lantern in front of the other party, so that Li Zhang could see the other party clearly.
Under the dim light of the lantern, Li Zhang saw that the person who shouted the grievance was a gray-haired man, with ragged clothes and thin appearance, looking like a very conscious beggar on the street, but this man had red eyes, panting in his mouth, and his whole body was trembling all the time, and he seemed to be very excited.
"What's your name, where are you, and why did you stop my carriage and cry out?" Li Zhang looked at the other party for a moment, and then slowly asked.
The gray-haired man also knew that his last chance was in front of him, so he was also very excited at this time, but he didn't speak first, but suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed more than a dozen times in a row, and his forehead was also drenched with blood, and then he said loudly: "The villain Dong Qing was originally a wealthy businessman in Quanzhou, but in a few years, his family suffered a catastrophe, and the lives of fifty-seven members of the family all died at the hands of thieves. ”
Dong Qing kowtowed again after speaking, his forehead hit the pavement paved with blue bricks and found the sound of "dong dong dong", which was extremely cold in the night, blood dripped from his forehead, and the ground was quickly dyed with a layer of blood, and even his face was full of blood at this time, but Dong Qing didn't realize it at all, because the only purpose of his life was only revenge, and the rest was not worth mentioning at all.
"Take him to the mansion, treat his injuries and clean them, and I'll ask him later!" Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh when he saw Dong Qing's miserable appearance, so he commanded again.
"Xie Dingbeihou, as long as you can avenge the villain, the villain is willing to repay him in the next life!" Dong Qing was also shocked when he heard this, and then said loudly again, because Li Zhang agreed to let him enter the mansion, which meant that the other party might take over his case.
At that moment, Li Zhang signaled the carriage to enter the mansion again, and Dong Qing was also taken to the mansion by his subordinates to settle down, but Li Zhang was not in a hurry to see Dong Qing, but returned to the inner house to meet Qingzhi and Yan Niang first, and then had some dinner, and then came to the front hall.
After a while, only Tongling Dong Qing was brought in, only Dong Qing was brought in, only to see that Dong Qing also cleaned up and changed his clothes at this time, and the wound on his forehead was also bandaged, but then Li Zhang found out that although Dong Qing had gray hair, he was actually not very old, he looked like he was thirty or forty years old, but there were no wrinkles on his dark skin, but his hair was mostly white, and his face was even more haggard.
"See Dingbei Hou, please Dingbei Hou administers justice for the villain!" When Dong Qing saw Li Zhang, he immediately knelt down again and said, he had repeated this sentence many times.
"Stand up, tell me what grievances you have, if the situation is true, I can arrange someone to try your family's case, and I will definitely give you justice!" Li Zhang said lightly at the moment.
After getting Li Zhang's assurance, Dong Qing immediately shook his whole body, and his face showed an excited look, and he just wanted to speak, but he didn't expect tears to gush out first, and then he saw him whimpering while telling about the grievances of his family, and this was involved in a tragedy many years ago.
What Li Zhang didn't expect was that although Dong Qing looked like he was thirty or forty years old, he was actually only twenty-seven years old this year, and it was only because of the great changes in his family that he had suffered a lot and suffered a lot, so he looked so old.
According to Dong Qing's introduction, his family has lived in Quanzhou City for generations, and since his grandfather's time, he has been a famous maritime merchant in Quanzhou, and when his father was alive, he made the family's business in Nanyang, thus accumulating countless wealth, some people call their Dong family Dong Bancheng, because it is said that their family's wealth is enough to be worth half of Quanzhou City.
Dong Qing was born in this kind of wealthy maritime merchant family, and he is also the eldest son of the family, as the heir of the family's business, Dong Qing is not a gentleman, but has been taken by his father since he was a child, teaching him how to do business at sea, and even since he was a teenager, he began to follow the shopkeeper of the family to start running boats at sea.
When Dong Qing was eighteen years old, he had already started a family, and even took over part of the family's business, originally according to this momentum, the Dong family would continue to prosper, but no one expected that the huge Dong family would turn into ashes overnight.
