Chapter 5 Interesting Facts in Court
Ye Zhao has not yet arrived, and there have been a lot of good deeds gathered at the gate of the Luoyang official office, not idle, but the situation of a large number of complaints appearing early in the morning is rare in Luoyang City.
Luoyang is not Suiyang, even if there is no Luoyang order, it will never be a file case that Suiyang detains for a month like Suiyang, so early in the morning, I saw a large group of bitter masters waiting outside the door to complain, which made people feel that there was something good to happen in Luoyang County today.
He Hao mixed in the crowd, stood with Yuan Shu, and looked at the end of the road with cold eyes, in order to make this Ye Zhao suffer something, he had prepared a lot of things, just the sedan chair, even the iron-beaten man, had to be scattered.
At three o'clock in the morning, Ye Zhao's sedan chair had not yet come, and some people had already begun to walk impatiently, but more people were still attracted to it.
"Boqiu, you said that the new Luoyang Ling wouldn't be upside down, right?" Yuan Shu turned his head to look at He Hao and said with a smile, he has been unaccustomed to Ye Zhao for a long time, not to mention that Ye Zhao has scolded him in public a few times, just because Ye Zhao and Yuan Shao are close, but he treats Yuan Shu as a transparent person, which makes Yuan Shu quite unhappy.
"Judging from what the highway says, although this son is arrogant, he is also a bit strong, and he will not back down because of this, if this is the case, it will be disappointing." He Hao shook his head, even if he was unhappy with Ye Zhao, how could a general who could switch to the north and south admit defeat so easily, that was a person who dared to directly take a crossbow bow to Huangfu Song's head and was unwilling to bow his head.
"We'll see." Yuan Shu was a little bored, although he also wanted to see Ye Zhao's unlucky appearance, but he didn't have to squeeze together with a group of white bodies, and he folded his identity in vain.
"Look, it's coming!" In the crowd, I don't know who roared, He Hao and Yuan Shu looked up, and saw that at the end of the road, four sedan chair men were powerlessly carrying a sedan chair and walked this way, with hideous expressions on their faces, as if every step they took, they had to use all their strength.
He Hao and Yuan Shu frowned at the same time, what did the people of this county government do? Even this sedan car can also break up the heroes? Or can this be called a sedan car?
As confused as the two of them, there were also officials from the Luoyang County Ya, which was not quite the same as their plan.
"Bang~"
The official sedan chair fell to the ground with a bang, and those who were close could feel the ground tremble slightly, and the four sedan chair drivers fell to the ground regardless of their image, gasping violently.
"Wang Shu, why is this so?" A county official pulled Wang Shu to his side and asked in a low voice, could it be that Ye Zhao is a fat man of four or five hundred catties?
Wang Shu showed a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying, pointed to the sedan chair, and did not speak.
Guan Hai on the side had already opened the sedan curtain, and the first thing that came into people's eyes was not Ye Zhao, but the stones full of sedan chairs, and then Ye Zhao came out of the cracks in the stones, and looked at the four tired sedan chair drivers with a refreshed expression and said with a smile: "The four of you are good, it is very comfortable to turn the official upside down, and in the future, the four of you will carry the sedan chair for the official full-time, and the official will come to you at any time, carrying the official and these stones in the sedan chair to play in the mountains and rivers." ”
"Pap~" A palanquin driver couldn't bear the blow, his head hit the ground, and he fainted.
"Humble duty to see the envoy." Several officials looked at each other, but they didn't think that they couldn't fix Ye Zhao, but instead cleaned up their own people.
"Excuse me." Ye Zhao looked at the people around him who were holding bamboo notes and said with a smile: "These people, are they all here to avenge their grievances?" ”
"Exactly." The chief bookkeeper Li bowed straight and said.
"On the first day of taking office, there are so many cases, so many cases, this is God has to help me, bring them all in, and let the surrounding people also come in, don't get in the way." Ye Zhao said with a smile.
"Whoa!" Li Zhi and several other officials glanced at each other, and they all agreed, and their own thief Cao Wang Shu commanded everyone to introduce everyone into the county government respectively.
Yuan Shu was about to enter with the crowd, but was pulled by He Hao.
"What?" Yuan Shu looked at He Hao in puzzlement.
"Who do you think that's who?" He Hao pursed his mouth and looked to the other side.
Yuan Shu subconsciously turned his head to look, and just saw Liu Hong coming over with Cai Yong, Zhang Rang and a team of guards.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing this, Yuan Shu and He Hao hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Don't be polite." Liu Hong stretched out his hand to stop them from saluting, looked around, and made a silent gesture, Yuan Shu and He Hao understood, followed Liu Hong with low eyebrows, and walked into the county office, but he was a little more jealous of Ye Zhao in his heart, although Ye Zhao had the lowest official position among several people this time, but he had obviously entered the sight of the Son of Heaven, and even won the attention of the Son of Heaven, which is not a good sign.
"Why are the two Aiqing here?" Everyone found an inconspicuous corner to settle in, and Liu Hong asked casually while watching how Ye Zhao tried the case.
"Back to Your Majesty." He Hao smiled and said: "The minister is also quite curious about this son, listening to the highway tell about his thief, he is curious, so he came to take a look." ”
Liu Hong just asked casually, and didn't care about it anymore, his attention had been attracted by Ye Zhao's side, but Ye Zhao had already begun to ask about the case.
"Young man, you wrote this petition?" Ye Zhao simply looked at all the bamboo notes, frowned slightly, and walked to a young man with a copy of the bamboo notes and asked.
"It was written by Xiaomin." The young man nodded.
"Are you literate?" Ye Zhao looked at the young man with some surprise and said, in this era, among the common people, there are few literate people.
"I knew a few in my early years."
"You wrote this book yourself?"
"I wrote it myself."
"You're not a big deal, why are you coming to sue?" Ye Zhao looked at the bamboo paper and asked casually.
"This matter may be a trivial matter in the eyes of the envoy, but in the eyes of the small people, it is a big matter." The young man's tone was a little impulsive.
Ye Zhao glanced back at him, then looked at the others and smiled, "You are the same?" ”
"Yes, I hope you will make the decision for us." Everyone wondered.
"This Ye Zhao, ask the case and ask the case, what is this for?" Liu Hong frowned.
"Your Majesty, don't be impatient, Xiu Ming's move, I'm afraid it has a deep meaning." Cai Yong looked at the bamboo note in Ye Zhao's hand and frowned, but he already felt that something was wrong.
"Cai Weng is inevitably too partial, it is clear that this Ye Zhao doesn't care about the suffering of the people and wants to be lazy." Yuan Shu said disdainfully: "Although this person is talented, he likes to go off the beaten path with a sword, and he is big with a small one, and now he must have seen too many people complaining about it, and he is unwilling to deal with it." ”
When Liu Hong heard this, he couldn't help frowning, if Ye Zhao was really such a person, then how could this Luoyang Order be handed over to such a person?
But seeing Ye Zhao nodded, he looked at the young man and said, "It's okay, then let's start with you first, but this pleadings are a little vague, you should rewrite a copy, after all, after this case is closed, it will be handed over to the imperial court for review." ”
"Yes."
"Come, give him a piece of bamboo paper, and then prepare pen and ink for him." After Ye Zhao returned to the case, he knelt down and smiled.
The county official sent pen, ink and bamboo notes, and the young man was indeed literate, and soon wrote a pleading.
"Bring the pleadings." Ye Zhao beckoned to Guan Hai, Guan Hai understood, took the pleadings from the young man's hand and handed it to Ye Zhao.
Ye Zhao compared the two pleadings, a smile appeared on his face, and he spread out the two pleadings to everyone: "The writing is different, the handwriting is different, young man, at your age, although you don't need to eat milk, but when you come to tease the official, you still look a little tender." ”
Ye Zhao threw the two pleadings on the ground and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, if you don't do anything, you won't grow wise, and today this official intends to cultivate you and add a little wisdom to you." ”
"Guan Hai!"
"In!"
"Give him some sobering medicine." Ye Zhao looked at the young man: "Today, on the first day of the official's appointment, seeing that you have good qualifications, I will give you forty wisdom boards, Guan Hai, you will be imprisoned!" ”
"Whoa!" Guan Hai agreed, ordered two county guards, and without waiting for the young man to beg for mercy, he directly pressed him to the ground, picked up the torture stick and beat him.
Although the young man is strong, and the county guard has not done anything black, it is even an ordinary forty board, and the placket on this ass has been covered with blood.
"Young man, if you still want to increase your intelligence, don't tell this official who wrote the letter to you?" Looking at the young man who was crying bitterly, Ye Zhao walked down, squatted beside him and smiled.
"To make the king spare his life, it was written for me by Master Li in the yali." The young man wailed.
"Master Li?" Ye Zhao turned his head, looked at Li Zhi who was sweating on his forehead, and said with a smile,
"Humble duty." Li Zhi stepped forward.
"Don't talk first, this official still has some details to ask." Ye Zhao waved his hand, Guan Hai strode forward, a pair of tiger eyes stared at Li Zhi fiercely, as long as he dared to speak, Guan Hai would do it directly.
Ye Zhaofu looked at the young man again, and the smile on his face did not decrease: "Young man, your newly increased wisdom will definitely tell you that there is a difference between truth and lie, and now this official asks you, did you ask him to write this petition?" Or did he take the initiative to write it for you? ”
"It was he who took the initiative to find me and said that he wanted to help me, just as the envoy said, this matter is nothing, but he insisted that I come to avenge my grievances, not only wrote a pleading, but also gave me a hundred dollars."
"And who wrote your paper?" Ye Zhao looked at the others.
"It was written to me by Master Li!" When everyone saw the end of the young man, how could they dare to be tough again, and they all spoke out, some people were directly ghostwritten by Master Li, and some people were entrusted by Master Li to help write it, and as long as they came to sue, they would have money to get.
"Master Li, you are really generous." Ye Zhao looked at Li Zhi and said with a smile: "You instigated the ignorant people to make trouble, spent money to disturb the court, ignored the laws of the court, and disrespected the official, it seems that the official's face may be too kind, so that you have some misunderstanding of the official, but it doesn't matter, what the official is best at is to eliminate misunderstandings, take care of it!" ”
"In!"
"This time, I want you to do it yourself, just don't die, after the fight, blast me out of the county office, Luoyang is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can such filthy people disrupt the order of officialdom?"
"Whoa!"
