Chapter 16: Passing the Hall
Jingzhao Mansion Yi Yande and his old wife quarreled last night because of the concubine in the house, and his eyes didn't close for long all night, just as he was drowsy in the study, a drum sounded. Yan De, www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun Pavilion, was shocked by the sound of drums, and was very unhappy, but he didn't dare to violate the rules of the court, so he got up and went to the court. After shouting "mighty", the paper was handed over by the master.
The errand in Jingzhao Mansion is naturally more noble than other local officials, and other local officials are in charge of just a few people, but Jingzhao Mansion is in charge of the Daheng Imperial Capital, and you can catch a few people with status by reaching out! But also because of this, Jingzhao Mansion is too easy to offend people who can't be provoked. So there is such an interesting story as "Wuri Fuyi", which says that Jingzhao Fuyi is easy to replace.
Yan De finally got into this position, so he naturally didn't want to lose it. He looked at it fixedly, and secretly said in his heart that trouble was coming.
It's nothing, just a somewhat famous scholar in the imperial capital. But the defendant is not simple. The plaintiff is Fang Hui, and the defendant is Chen Baichuan, the envoy of Chen Guo. The accusation was that Chen Baichuan hired someone to commit murder on the street and seriously injured Fang Hui.
This matter can be big or small, to put it mildly, it is just that Chen Baichuan hired someone to beat a poor scholar, but if he wants to make a fuss about this, he can also give Chen Baichuan a charge of flouting the law of Daheng.
Yan De knew that the matter was serious, so he hurriedly sent someone to his mentor to ask what it meant. The teacher asked his subordinates to pass back five words and do things according to the law. Yan De knew it now, and sent someone to summon the parties.
This case looks simple, but if one is not good, the official position will be lost. Yan De scolded that Fang Hui who didn't know what to do in his heart, a poor scholar was beaten by the powerful, forget it, what else to sue! What's even worse is that they have sued him. Yan De originally felt that Fuyi's location was like a small boat in the boundless sea, and this matter was a stormy weather, and his small boat would have to capsize if he was not careful.
Scolding the mother is scolding the mother, Yan Fuyi's work efficiency is still quite high, and after a while, the people from the official mansion will bring the news to the Chen Mansion.
Two generations of the Chen family have produced generals, and many of those servants were Chen Qianshan's soldiers at that time, who were very protective of the lord, and they were willing to let the officials enter the door and take Chen Baichuan away. When the servants saw the swords, guns, and clubs in their hands, they didn't dare to speak ill of them as they did to the poor, and several of them said softly with smiles on their faces: "Envoy Chen, we just do what we are ordered, and don't embarrass us subordinates." If you are innocent, my family will not dare to do nonsense to you. Come with us. ”
The housekeeper Lao Lu looked at the master, understood it, and scolded: "Why are you so rude, what should you do if you hurt the official!" Lao Lu took out a few taels of silver, held the right hand of the errand who looked like a small leader, smiled into a chrysanthemum, and said, "Does the official know who Fang Hui is who sued my little master?" ”
The messenger quietly took the silver and replied: "Envoy Chen is a noble person who forgets things, and he doesn't remember Fang Hui. That Fang Hui was the one who embarrassed the Chen envoy at the Hengdu Poetry Club and provoked the Chen envoy to recite thirteen poems. ”
Lao Lu's face was like this, and he turned back to Chen Baichuan and said, "I'm afraid you have to go this time." ”
After listening to the ins and outs, Chen Baichuan knew that he was framed by someone design. He put his signature spring breeze-like smile on his lips, comforted a group of subordinates who were glaring at the servants angrily, and said, "You don't have to worry, put down your weapons, Jingzhao Mansion doesn't dare to do anything to me." ”
Chen Xiaozhu's Spring Breeze smile was of course much stronger than Lao Lu's angry rebuke, and the subordinates put down the equipment in their hands.
"A few big brothers will lead the way."
Seeing that Chen Baichuan had the intention of leaving, the servants first dared not say anything in unison, and then followed the subordinates. One leads the way in front, and several walk behind as followers.
This is the first time Chen Baichuan has seen Yamen, he has a superior status in Chen State, where do you need to go to such a place.
Is this a hall?
Fu Yigao sat in the hall, holding a shocking wood in his hand. There were a few startled crackles, and then the shouts rang out.
"Envoy Chen is offended." An errand officer made the appearance of escorting Chen Baichuan, and Chen Baichuan also followed him into the court.
Yan De slapped the shocked wood again.
"Who's in the hall?"
Hearing the official Lord Yan speak, everyone in the hall identified themselves.
The pig's head Fang Hui handed over the paper, Yan De pretended to look at it, and passed it to Chen Baichuan. Coincidentally, the original defendant and the two did not agree on the petitioner, Fang Hui was because of his average family background, he could not afford to hire a lawyer, and his ordinary eloquence may not be as good as himself. And Chen Baichuan is very confident, he didn't beat people on the street, can he still be wronged?
Seeing Chen Baichuan hand the paper back, Fang Hui immediately became troubled. He glanced at Chen Baichuan, clasped his fists at Yan De and said, "My lord, I am a great Heng scholar, and there is no need to kneel and bow according to the law." And I don't know what his identity is Chen Baichuan, he didn't bow down in the public court, what kind of system did he become? ”
Chen Baichuan deliberately asked Yan De: "Do you have to kneel and bow down?" ”
"Of course." Fang Hui answered first, he waited for Chen Baichuan to tell the identity of Chen Guoshizi, and humiliated Chen Baichuan to the fullest. Your identity as a scholar of Chen Guo, what is the use of me in Daheng?
Chen Baichuan suddenly pointed at Fang Hui and laughed, but Fang Hui was stunned, what was he laughing at?
"What are you laughing at? Above the court, how can you be allowed to make a noise! ”
Chen Baichuan ignored him, but also clenched his fists and asked Yan De: "Lord Fuyi, please treat Fang Hui's crime." ”
"Oh, what is he guilty of?" Yan De was full of doubts.
"I am the envoy of the Chen State, and I don't need to kneel down to bow when I go to your Daheng Emperor's Palace, and Fang Hui instigated the lord to bow down to me, doesn't it mean that the status of the adult is even higher than that of His Majesty today?"
A few drops of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Yan De's head when he heard his words, this kind of thing can be unintentional, and if His Majesty is unhappy one day, he can cut off his head and kick it. He glared angrily at Fang Hui, Fang Hui hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted, "I don't have this intention, I don't have this intention." ”
Chen Baichuan added fuel to the fire: "The Daheng law scholar doesn't kneel down to officials below the third grade, but you kneel down in front of the adult, do you want him to commit the crime of transgression?"
Yan De was shocked and frightened at this time, and he said angrily: "Come on, this Fang Hui disturbs the public court and beats the twenty boards!" ”
The servant escorted Fang Hui to lie down on the execution bench, raised the interrogation baton, and was about to swing it down. Fang Hui was scared to death, and shouted in his mouth: "The adult is wronged, the adult spares his life!" ”
Yan De ignored him and reprimanded: "Fight." ”
Where did the stupid scholar come from, if he didn't know the etiquette, he invited a teacher. Even if you go on a business trip in court, you dare to catch up with this adult.
Hum.
