"What!"
Li Qi exclaimed in surprise, pointed at Yue Fei and said, "You-you said you are Yue Fei's own brother?"
Yue said, "The little people don't dare to deceive the adults."
Li Qi looked at Yue Fei carefully, and saw that he and Yue Fei were five or six points alike, and he also believed seven or eight points in his heart, although there were few records about Yue Fei's younger brother, but Li Qi clearly remembered that Yue Fei did have a younger brother, why did he remember it so clearly, it was because Yue Fei's younger brother died under Yang Zaixing's hands, and Yang Zaixing was also a military general that Li Qi preferred. "By the way, are you looking for something?" Did your brother tell you to come to me?"
Yue turned his head and said, "My lord, Xiaomin still has a question I want to ask my lord."
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and then he said: "I said Yue Xuan, you are really strange, you are usually asked by the government and the people, and you keep asking questions as soon as you come, it is really more interesting than your brother."
Yue said: "The little people are rude, but this is all ordered by the mother, the little people don't dare to disobey, and ask the adults to forgive their sins."
This mother-in-law's tutor is really strict. Li Qi nodded helplessly and said, "You ask, you ask."
"Yes." Yue turned over again, and then said, "May I ask if you have ever borrowed a good horse from my brother?"
He asked, "What is this?" Li Qi frowned, nodded and said, "Yes, there is indeed such a thing."
Ma Qiao also rode forward and said, "I can also testify to this."
After hearing this, Yue was overjoyed, and suddenly knelt on the ground, and said, "Please also ask my brother to redress his grievances."
This change stunned Li Qidu, and after a while, he jumped down from the carriage, helped Yue over, and said nervously: "You get up first and then say, what kind of redress?" What the hell happened to your brother?"
Yue rolled his eyes and said, "I-my brother got into a lawsuit and was arrested and imprisoned."
"What?"
Li Qi blinked incredulously and said, "You said your brother."
Halfway through this, he saw that passers-by were looking this way. frowned, and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's go back and talk about it."
"Uh-oh."
Yue turned his head and nodded.
Li Qi turned around and came to the side of the car and said, "Feng Niangzi, I have something urgent, so I won't go to the academy." You go first. ”
"What's the urgency? Do you need my help?"
How can you help. Li Qi said: "It's just a small thing. Okay, that's it, let's take our leave. ”
"That's—well, take care of yourself."
"Hmm. Thank you very much. ”
After separating from Feng Yinu. Li Qi took Yue Fan to the backyard of the Drunken Immortal Residence, and Ma Qiao also followed him in, and it could be seen that he was also worried in his heart.
Li Qi sat on the chair and asked with a solemn face, "What crime did your brother commit, and why was he arrested and put in prison?"
Yue Fan hesitated slightly.
Li Qi hurriedly said: "When is it?" What are you hesitating about here?"
Yue hurriedly said: "Xiaomin knows his mistake, in fact-in fact, my brother committed homicide."
"Murder?"
Li Qi was shocked and said, "How can your brother kill someone?" But he said in his heart, why is there no record of this incident in the history books, I haven't heard that Yue Fei was in prison when he was young, could it be that he was whitewashed later.
For a while, all kinds of doubts came to my heart.
Yue turned his hand and said, "Actually, it can't be said that my brother killed people, and my brother was not careful, so he had to do it as a last resort."
Richie heard it in a fog. said: "Tell me the whole story, I am scared to hear it."
"Yes."
Yue sighed and said, "Last year, my father died of illness, and my mother wrote a letter to ask my brother to come back to keep filial piety, but I didn't see my brother come back for a long time. My mother was very worried, so she was going to let me go north to inquire, but just then, my brother suddenly returned. Not only that, but he also came back on a tall horse. My family has been a farmer for generations. Donkeys can't afford to buy horses, so my mother asked my brother where did this horse come from? My brother said that he met a noble man in Bianliang, and this person was also the guard Ma Deputy pointed out that this horse was borrowed by the nobleman, and then he told my mother the whole story, and my mother immediately scolded my brother angrily after hearing it. ”
Ma Qiao on the side was curious: "What your brother said is true, why did your mother scold him?"
Yue sighed: "My mother first didn't believe what my brother said, thinking that he was a horse stolen from the army or from others, and then my brother swore to the sky, and my mother said that if this matter is serious, my brother should not come back, because my father's greatest wish in life is to hope that my brother can make contributions to my Great Song Dynasty, if my father knows that my brother gave up such a great opportunity because of him, he will not rest in peace under Jiuquan."
Li Qi nodded and said, "Well, what your mother said makes sense." And then?"
Yue Fu continued: "My mother said again, let my brother come to you after the New Year, and I will keep filial piety on my brother's behalf." However, on the night before my brother was about to enter Beijing, my brother and I were guarding filial piety in the mourning hall, and suddenly heard the sound of horses outside the house, so my brother scooped up a spear and went out, and saw a man in black who was trying to steal my brother's horse, and my brother hurriedly shouted to stop the man, but the man had to not listen, but instead rode on a horse to escape, my brother and I hurriedly chased the general out, my brother was chasing a hundred paces away in one breath, but how could a person run over the horse, my brother was in a hurry, and waved his spear. ”
Ma Qiao let out a long sigh and said, "I know, your brother must have shot the thief with a spear."
Yue shook his head and said, "That's not true, my brother only wanted to take back the horse at that time, and it didn't look like hurting people, so he just hit the horse's leg with his spear, not the thief, and after the horse was hit by my brother's spear, he threw the thief off the horse, but—but when my brother and I stepped forward to take a look, it turned out that -- the man fell off the horse, hit his head on a stone, and fell to his death—died."
"It's good to die." Ma Qiao clapped his hands and said, "This kind of rooster and dog thief is useless in the world."
Li Qi glared at him slightly, and said, "I said Ma Qiao, can you say a few words." Yue Xuan, you go on. ”
Yue Fan continued: "At that time, because it was night, there were no pedestrians on the road, and my brother and I didn't know what to do, so we went back to ask my mother, who first reprimanded my brother. She said that in any case, it was really inappropriate to hurt someone because of a horse, so my mother asked the two of us to go to the yamen on our own and ask the county magistrate to decide. ”
Li Qi nodded and said, "Your mother did the right thing. But your brother did it in a hurry. It was not intended to hurt people, the other party stole the horse first, this was just an accident and belonged to legitimate defense. Why does Nazhi County still arrest your brother?"
Yue sighed and said, "My brother and I originally thought the same way, but when we went to the Yamen, the county magistrate arrested the two of us and said that my brother was a horse thief."
"Huh?" Li Qi's face was stunned. Said: "Is your county brain broken, if you have to be sentenced, it will also be judged that your brother is a murderer, how can you say that he is a horse thief, and he sues your brother for stealing whose horse?"
Yue said: "It is the horse of a big official surnamed Ximen in our Tangyin County."
"Simon Official." Li Qi nodded, suddenly looked startled, and asked, "Ximen official?" That person can be called Ximenqing?"
Yue was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, that person is called Ximen Valve." He was a rich man in our county. ”
Sweat! Lao Tzu thought it was Ximen Qing, it really scared me to death. Li Qi said again: "Then what does this Ximen official say?"
Yue said: "The official of Ximen also insisted that my brother stole his horse, and—and the horse thief was a subordinate of his house, and he also said that he ordered the man to return the horse, and my brother refused to return the horse." and then they killed and killed their mouths. ”
Li Qi was furious when he heard it, and the matter was already very clear, it was nothing more than that the Ximen official took a fancy to Yue Fei's horse and wanted to take it for himself. If you can't steal a horse, you will hit a rake. This kind of trick is all too common. This horse is very precious in the Northern Song Dynasty, and what Li Qi gave to Yue Fei is a good horse, which is worth a lot of money, although the Ximen valve is a rich man, but it is also a rich man in a small county town, and it is not the same thing as the rich man in the stable, so it is reasonable for him to want to take Yue Fei's horse. He stood up and said, "Is this reasonable, how can it be reasonable, didn't your brother report my name?"
"My brother said it, but the county master didn't believe it, and said how a cook could be a guard, so he put my brother in prison."
Ma Qiao suddenly jumped like thunder, and said: "Damn, the county in the world is really dark, and your county must have received the benefits of the Ximen officials, just like the county governor of Yangzhou."
"Ma Qiao, be careful when you speak." Li Qi warned Ma Qiao, took a deep breath, and said, "Did your brother ask you to come to me?"
Yue shook his head and said, "It was my mother who asked me to come, and my mother said that this matter was caused by that horse, so I still need my brother to prove it."
That's right, if I hadn't crossed over, Yue Fei wouldn't have encountered such a wrongful thing, it seems that this is the bullshit butterfly effect. Li Qi nodded and said, "But your mother didn't believe your brother's words, so she asked you to find me, ask me those questions first, and if it is true, then tell me the truth of the matter, yes or no?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Qiao said: "Deputy Marshal, you're not joking, how can a mother not even believe her son."
Yue turned to the horse bridge and said, "This eldest brother, my mother did say so."
Ma Qiaoden was speechless. Li Qi didn't bother to pay attention to this guy, and said, "Then did your brother confess?"
Yue turned the right face and said: "My brother didn't do this, how can he confess his sins."
Li Qi nodded and said, "In this way, your brother is still in Tangyin County."
Yue nodded and said, "Yes."
According to the Great Song Dynasty Justice, in criminal cases above the prison level, the magistrate can only collect evidence, hear the case clearly, and then send it to the state government for judgment, in other words, the magistrate can only judge criminal cases below the cane sentence, and the county magistrate only has the power to hear the case, but has no power to adjudicate in slightly heavier cases.
Li Qi looked worried, pondered for a moment, looked at the sky again, and then said: "Okay, I know, you go down to eat something now, I see that you are also hungry."
Yue Chuan said nervously: "Then the adult is willing to help my brother redress his grievances?"
Li Qi nodded and said, "Don't worry, this official will definitely avenge your brother, no matter what, I will also rescue your brother." is also a damn Ximen official, Lao Tzu is the one who fights the tiger Wu Song. Exercise. (To be continued.)
