An old woman appeared in the Dengwen Drum Courtyard, with a paper on her head, shouting to sue the emperor, which stunned many people, especially the leading general of the forbidden army, who glared at him.

"You old woman, what do you know? This is also where you can come? ”

The old woman was not afraid at all, "It's nothing remarkable, the family is ruined, even if you go to the underworld, the old body doesn't care!" I just found Lord Yama and asked, if there is no royal law in this yang world, can the underworld be managed! ”

The old woman's arrogance frightened the Janissary Army.

Someone said that they wanted to take the old lady away directly, but the leader knew in his heart that she had sounded the drum, and the court had been alarmed, and it was inappropriate to dispose of it casually.

"Old lady, the rules of the court, if you have a grievance, go to the county yamen, the prefect's yamen, go to all walks of life, find the Dali Temple, find the criminal department, and beat the drum, it's not a trivial matter, it's to alarm the saint!"

"That's right, the old woman is going to meet the saint and ask him if he cares or not. My hard-working son worked hard for him, and he lost a single eye, and as a result, the corrupt officials and corrupt officials raised by his subordinates framed my son, and he was about to cut off his head! The old woman wants to know, where is the reason of heaven and where is the law of the king? ”

The forbidden army was startled when they heard the old lady's words.

"What, Ling Lang is also a martial artist?"

"That's right!" The old lady said with a cold face: "My son fought in Hengshan, and he was the first to enter Hongzhou, and the Western Xia thieves alone slaughtered 7!" ”

As she spoke, the old lady pulled out a silver medallion.

When the leader of the forbidden army saw it, he immediately took it with both hands, and he looked at it carefully, and it was indeed true.

It has always been like this in the army, for meritorious heroes, Brother Paoze, don't dare to slack off, otherwise you will be poked in the back!

The leader of the forbidden army squeezed out a smile, "Auntie, since your son is a meritorious minister, and the court has always been generous, why do you bother to beat the drum, go to Luoyang Mansion if you have something, or go to the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, they will not sit idly by!" ”

"No!" The old lady shook her head vigorously, "My old man is looking for these yamen to reason, and he was beaten to death, they don't care, the old woman will find the emperor and ask him to give the old woman an explanation!" My hard-working child, working for the court, is it still wrong? ”

……

Beating the drums of Dengwen was a big deal, and many people were attracted to it, and they stood in the distance, stretched their necks to watch the excitement, and some people had good ears, and listened to the old lady's words, and immediately talked about it.

You must know that the situation of the Great Song Dynasty's emphasis on literature and light on military force has changed a lot over the years, especially the meritorious soldiers, who will be treated preferentially when they return to the place, but this old woman said that his son was framed and was going to lose his head, what is going on? The curiosity of the big guys all rose, and they all rushed to the door of the Dengwen Drum Courtyard, stretched their necks, and looked inside.

In front of everyone's eyes, the forbidden army didn't know what to do with this old lady, so they had to immediately send someone to ask Shangfeng for instructions and let the above have an idea.

Just opposite the Dengwen Drum Courtyard, dozens of zhang away, there is a delicate restaurant, just on the third floor near the window, there are two people, looking through the window, looking outside.

They are none other than the brothers Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao!

It has been ten years, and they also ran to Kaifeng with the heart of sanctification, and gave lectures on the altar, trying to unify the academic circle of the Great Song Dynasty.

Who knew that because of the affairs of the Bohai Kingdom, the two of them were almost ruined.

But fortunately, they went north and did a lot of things.

After recovering Youzhou, they assisted Fu Bi and governed the local area, which was very successful, but unfortunately, Fu Bi fell, and they failed again.

Later, when the capital was moved to Luoyang, Ercheng was unwilling and also went to Luoyang to give lectures, but time passed, and their set has become more and more unmarketable.

Especially with the defection of Song Zhen, academically, even Wang Anshi's new learning is facing an impact, let alone the two of them.

What's worse is that the old school has no leading figures. Wen Yanbo and Jia Changchao both defected, Song Zhen rebelled, Han Qi, Fu Bi, Wang Gongchen and others died, and the originally powerful old school forces were swept away.

Officialdom has always been like this, no matter how well it is done, no one appreciates it, and without Bole, it will not be able to climb up. Ercheng is even more miserable, not only are they not Bole, but they are also full of roadblocks.

Everyone knows that they once preached the old school, and even if they had a good position, they didn't dare to give it to them.

Therefore, over the years, Ercheng has not only not progressed, but also continued to retreat, and now, he can only hang the name of a business in Guozijian.

There is a loss, there is a gain.

Ercheng was finally able to settle down and carefully scrutinize his knowledge, and they also learned Wang Ning'an's ideas and went to various places to visit and understand the people's feelings.

Any knowledge, if it is only theoretical inferences, is worthless, especially sociology, must be embedded, confirmed, and seen to see if it can stand up to scrutiny.

Why there are so many doubts about the change, but it can still be pushed forward.

The reason is very simple, because the reform of the law has brought about an increase in fiscal revenue, a strong army, and territorial expansion.

With these three articles, no one can deny the role of changing the law.

However, during the visit, Ercheng also found too many problems.

For example, in cement workshops, many workers will have coughing, asthma and other illnesses after five years of work, and even life-threatening, and some workshops employ teenage children to work day and night, and it is said that many people do not live to be 20 years old. There are many more of these things, one by one, one by one, and they are carefully written down, and they know very well that these are all materials for opposing the change of the law.

But Ercheng also knew that relying on this little thing alone, he wanted to defeat the powerful Fa-Changing faction, which was a dream at all.

They are waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the best time to strike.

Zhao Zhen is getting older and older, and Ercheng knows through the channel that the Holy Communion is worrying, and the best opportunity is in front of him.

Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao calculated very well that if Zhao Zhen was healthy, full of self-confidence, and something big happened, he could join forces with Wang Ningan and others, and the monarchs and ministers would work together to solve it.

If it is dragged until Zhao Zhen dies and the new monarch ascends the throne, Wang Ningan is the emperor, with his military exploits, officials, and status, he can completely get rid of the new monarch, no matter how big things are, they can't shake Wang Ningan.

Only when the old and the new alternate can you fish in troubled waters.

Those ten plum blossom poems also have the credit of their brothers.

It's just that Ercheng's skills are still a step behind, and they have calculated everything, but they have miscalculated Zhao Zhen's attitude. They thought that Uncle Zhao would target Wang Ning'an, and even arrange some personnel to balance Wang Ning'an.

But who would have thought that after talking with Wang Ning'an, Zhao Zhen actually directly aimed the finger at Queen Cao, and Ercheng was really unexpected!

What a strange thing!

The emperor has always been suspicious of the ministers, why does Zhao Zhen trust Wang Ningan so much! I don't doubt it at all, I treat him better than my own son!

Could this be the providence?

There are no recruits for the second journey, if Queen Cao is solved, then their future plans will all be in vain, and even say that there will be no chance to turn the tables around.

Fortunately, someone made a move at this time, which can be regarded as resolving a catastrophe.

However, this master who shot only did half of his homework, although Zhao Zhen was not easy to start out of scruples, but it was difficult to guarantee that the emperor would not kill Empress Cao at the last moment.

So...... Can't give Zhao Zhen time!

You must act decisively to attract the attention of the court!

This case, they didn't want to throw it out, or rather, they didn't want to throw it out now, but in order to save Queen Cao, for the sake of the overall situation, they had to throw it out!

"Wang Ningan is indeed very strong, he has done so many things, and he has made so many contributions, almost to the peak of his courtiers, but his weakness also lies in this!" Cheng Yi said with a smile.

"That's right." Cheng Hao took over, "Over the years, he has done too many things, doing too many mistakes, doing less mistakes, not doing well!" He's now full of mistakes. Next, we just need to mobilize all public opinion to make this case bigger and make it known to the whole world...... Not only will Wang Ningan be disgraced, but the entire Fa-Changing faction will be unlucky! The dragon body is already a candle at the tuyere, such a big turmoil, I'm afraid Zhao Zhen won't be able to live! ”

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, drank the tea in their cups, and quickly left, disappearing into the vast sea of people.

They know very well that Wang Ning'an is very powerful, if he catches a little clue, he won't want to live.

In this game, Ercheng gambled on his life and fought hard!

In any case, there is only victory and no defeat!

……

"Lord Wang, this case is not easy to handle!"

Xiao Guanyin gets straight to the point.

"Did the old woman check? How did she run to the Dengwen Drum Courtyard, and who helped her, no one helped, could she beat the Dengwen Drum? ”

"Lord Wang, it has been ascertained that a doorman in Dengwen Drum Courtyard was once from the forbidden army, fought in the northwest, and knew the old woman's son, in order to help his brother, he did not hesitate to violate the rules and let the old woman in privately. This person has now arrived at the criminal department to receive the guilt. But...... These don't seem to be the point. ”

"What's the point?" Wang Ningan said with a tiger face.

Xiao Guanyin frowned, "Lord Wang, this official of the Great Song Dynasty is really not good, you can see for yourself, this is an unjust case!" ”

Wang Ning'an was full of doubts and opened the file collected by Xiao Guanyin.

The old woman's son's name is Zhou Feng, he is indeed a meritorious soldier, he lost an eye in the battle, and when he came back to talk about the reward for meritorious deeds, he did not ask for land in the northwest, but took a pension, plus the reward of beheading, and bought 50 acres of land in his hometown.

Originally, this was a good thing to live and work in peace and contentment, but the field he bought was clay that could burn cement, and a local cement workshop took a fancy to this land, so he wanted to buy it at a low price, of course Zhou Feng disagreed.

As a result, the two sides had a quarrel, according to the case file of the Criminal Department, Zhou Feng killed three people in the cement factory in one go, and also slaughtered two officials, five lives, and the local yamen, even if he considered that he was a meritorious soldier, he did not dare to pardon, so he could only be sentenced to beheading.

But the old lady refused to admit it, and when it came to the yamen at all levels to redress her grievances, no one was willing to accept it, so she made trouble in Luoyang and beat the drum!

Xiao Guanyin said in a low voice: "I think that soldier was wronged. ”
