Chapter 872: Grievances
It is naturally not difficult for Jinyi Wei to check a person's identity, even if the two evil slaves in a certain marquis's mansion who showed up to beat people, and the main owner didn't even show his face, but only from the clothes of these people and the decoration of the luxurious carriage, it is easy to find out some clues.

In less than a day, the results were presented to Yang Zhen, and after listening to the report, Yang Zhen's face sank slightly: "Longping Hou Zhang Tong?" An idle marquis dares to be so lawless, it seems that this is completely instructed by someone to do such a thing. ”
Zhang Tong is the descendant of Zhang Xin, the hero of the Jing Dynasty. Speaking of Zhang Xin, in fact, many people in later generations were very disdainful of this so-called meritorious hero, because his so-called merit was just a whistleblower as a courtier. Although Chengzu called the emperor and rewarded him greatly, the status of this marquis in the court was not very high, and it has continued to this day.
Of course, this is not high, but compared to the descendants of other heroes, compared to Zhang Runsheng, Zhang Tong's status is too high. According to common sense, even if he knew that it was Zhang Yushi who he let his servants beat, as long as those colleagues did not speak, almost no yamen would investigate it, but obviously, Yang Zhen didn't think so.
After pondering for a while, Yang Zhen said to a few henchmen on the side: "From now on, you put aside all the other things at hand, I want to know that anything that has happened in the Longping Marquis Mansion in recent years, especially related to the law, cannot be let go!" ”
Several people were in high spirits when they heard this, and hurriedly agreed. They knew that their own governor was going to take this unlucky Hou Ye under the knife!
As a powerful person in Beijing, it is impossible not to do anything on weekdays to rob property and bully men and women, so Yang Zhen is very confident, and it won't be long before he can justifiably attack Zhang Tong. It's just that he didn't expect that as soon as he wanted to doze off, someone brought him a pillow, and before the people of Jinyiwei moved, a case suddenly jumped out by itself!
On the morning of 13 September, the warm autumn sun shone on the streets and alleys of Beijing, which made people feel lazy, especially the errand officers who stood in front of the major yamen, who had nothing to do, and even more seemed to be unable to lift up much spirit, but just swept their eyes blankly among the pedestrians coming and going on the street, guessing the identities and thoughts of these people.
At this time, in front of the Shuntian Mansion, there was an old man with a sad look and a cowering face. His gaze kept wandering over the hanging plaque and the drum stand standing tall, as if he wanted to come up, but he was a little afraid of what might happen, and he seemed hesitant for a moment.
This is a person who has a grievance and wants to sue him! The servants at the gate of the yamen were all people who were accustomed to all kinds of situations, and they immediately saw the thoughts of the old man in front of them, and immediately became vigilant.
This Shuntian Mansion is not an ordinary county government, and anyone can come to complain. In fact, as the pro-people security yamen of the capital, the Shuntianfu generally only investigates cases and does not accept lawsuits. Only when there is a big case and a certain DPRK and Chinese official comes forward will they take on some cases. But obviously, the old man in front of him could not be such a person.
Seeing that the old man was gritting his teeth there again and again, as if he was making up his mind, the head of the team at the gate of the yamen said to a brother beside him: "Little Liu, you go and persuade people to leave, don't make trouble for the adults, let him go to the county if he has grievances." ”
"Yes." A young man who looked quite honest nodded in agreement, and wanted to step over.
I didn't want to think at this time, the old man who had hesitated just now also suddenly moved, only to see him quickly rush to the gate of the yamen in a few big steps, and at the moment when the servants were still stunned, he stretched out his hand and picked up the drumstick hanging on the side of the drum, and then slammed it hard.
Although Shuntianfu generally does not accept lawsuits, the rules of this dynasty are that any yamen must still erect a drum of grievances, which is the rule set by Emperor Taizu at the beginning, so no one dares not stand even now. However, most people know what drums in front of the yamen can be beaten, and what drums in front of the yamen can't be beaten, and the drums in front of the gate of Shuntianfu really haven't been heard much.
At the end of the day, a dull drum beat quickly sounded inside and outside the Shuntian Mansion, so that the surrounding pedestrians couldn't help but stop, and immediately surrounded them. As long as there is a lively place to see, the common people will always come up quickly, even if it is a major place that they usually dare not approach.
was stunned for a moment, and things became so out of control, which made everyone in front of the yamen dumbfounded. In front of everyone, they really couldn't drive away such an old man who was beating drums and crying out grievances, so they had to come forward with a black face and ask about the situation.
At the same time, this drum also alarmed many officials inside, especially the current Shuntian Mansion Yin Jing Zhankun, who was even more surprised, he had been in this yamen for more than ten years, and he had never encountered anything similar, and the drum in front of the yamen had not sounded for ten years.
Because of his diligence and shrewdness, Jing Zhankun, the original official of Shuntian Mansion, has now been promoted to the chief official of the yamen. However, he knows very well that this position is not easy to sit, and the previous bosses will always encounter all kinds of troubles in this position, and they almost can't even keep the black yarn several times, so after taking office, he is also cautious, walking on thin ice, and does not dare to make the slightest mistake.
But in this position, it's not that you don't have to cause trouble, sometimes things will come to your door. For example, today, there has never been a movement before, and someone is actually beating the drum of injustice!
According to the rules, since the drum of grievances in front of the yamen has been sounded, the case has to be taken over by the chief official of the yamen, and now he Jing Zhankun has no chance to even push the responsibility to his subordinates and other heads.
With a hint of apprehension and depression, Jing Zhankun had no choice but to straighten his official uniform, straighten his official hat and come to the second hall, and ordered someone to bring the person who beat the drum and shouted grievances into the hall for questioning.
In a few moments, the old man, who was a little cowering and trembling, was brought in by several grim-faced servants, who knew very well that they would be reprimanded by the superiors.
However, at the moment, Jing Zhankun obviously had no intention of holding these people responsible, but just slapped the startling wood hard, looked at the old man who was already kneeling in front of the hall very majestically and asked, "Who is kneeling in the hall, and why is the drum?" ”
With his shout, the surrounding servants whispered might, which made the atmosphere in the hall tense suddenly. And this made the old man's body tremble, and he trembled for a long time before he said tremblingly: "The little old man's name is He Sanwu, and he is from the capital. Today I am going to sue Zhang Bing, the little marquis of the Longping Hou family...... He killed my son and usurped Xiao Lao'er's daughter-in-law...... Please also ask the old man Qingtian to make the decision for the little old man, which ......" Speaking of this, the old man suddenly cried and kowtowed heavily on the ground.
Hearing this, everyone in the hall gasped, and then all eyes converged on the prefect sitting on it.
And Jing Zhankun only felt bitter, he knew that this matter must be not trivial, this is not only a vicious case of murder and occupation, but it is also related to the magnates in Beijing, and the matter is naturally not small, it is not that he is such a Shuntianfu Yin can be the master.
But soon, Jing Zhankun thought of something, and said with a straight face: "He Sanwu, since you are from my capital, how can you not even understand the rules?" Well? Are you a citizen of Daxing County or Wanping County? Since you have this grievance, why don't you go to your own county government to tell it, but come to my Shuntianfu to beat the drum? ”
This is indeed a good way to shirk responsibility, and there are two counties of Wanping and Daxing under Shuntianfu, and these two county yamen are the real yamen close to the people, and the cases of ordinary people are also handled by these two yamen.
After listening to his question, He Sanwu's face showed even more sadness: "The eldest lord Mingjian, the little old man has already gone to Wanping County to sue, but ...... But the county commander insisted that Xiao Lao'er's son had fallen to his death, and my daughter-in-law was also missing, and it had nothing to do with that little marquis...... Not only did they refuse to investigate the case, but they also decided that Xiao Lao'er was falsely accused and wanted to convict Xiao Lao'er...... The big master, the little old man is really wronged, and I hope that the big master will call the shots......"
Jing Zhankun's brows suddenly furrowed even tighter, not to blame Wanping County's approach, in fact, he could understand this very well.
What kind of place is Beijing City, it is a Beijing master with many powerful people like carp crossing the river, and in such places, the county government is only the lowest level of yamen, and the county order is not even a fart. Let's ask, in the face of someone suing the high-status Hou Ye family for evil, what can he do in a mere Qipin County? Do you really dare to send someone to question the son of the Marquis of Longping?
I'm afraid that the door of the Marquis of Longping Mansion won't let them in, and if they don't sweep them out, it will be a face. In such a situation, the only thing he can do is to pretend to be confused and fool things over.
However, if you are fooled, why don't you take good care of people? In fact, every year, there are many things in the capital where the powerful oppress ordinary people, but things like this today are very rare.
Now, this hot potato has fallen into Jing Zhankun's hands, and he doesn't know what to do for a while. Learn the methods of Wanping County to drive people away? This He Sanwu seems to be really anxious, if he hits the wall again, maybe he will make some more crazy moves, and he will be affected by it at that time. But if the case is accepted, it will be difficult to handle, will he dare to go against the Marquis of Longping as soon as he is in the Shuntian Mansion?
After thinking about it, in the end, Jing Zhankun finally had a way that was not a way - drag!
