Chapter Thirty-Seven: One Stone Stirs Up a Thousand Waves

"What do you say? Do you want to sue Hua Muchun, the prefect of Jingzhou? What are you going to sue him? Zhao Rui can be regarded as an official with some knowledge, but after hearing Yang Zhen's words, he was still taken aback, and he couldn't help but ask a few words before he finished speaking. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Sue him for embezzlement, accuse him of abusing power for personal gain." Yang Zhen raised his voice as he spoke: "Xiaomin wants to sue, as well as Hu Lin, the governor of Huguang, and Ren Huaigu, the prefect of Wuchang. It is precisely because the people who are sued are all officials of the imperial court that the small people have no choice but to come to the prosecutor to shout injustice! ”

"......" Not only Zhao Rui, but also the soldiers surrounding Yang Zhen thought that they had heard something, maybe this person was a madman, otherwise how could anyone do such a thing? But looking at Yang Zhen's solemn appearance, they couldn't accept that everything in front of them was real, and this young man was not crazy.

"You...... You want to sue these adults, do you know that they are all officials of the imperial court, why do you accuse them of corruption and discipline......" Zhao Rui finally came back to his senses after spending a while, and said with a cold face. At this moment, he really regretted that he came out to take care of this matter, obviously this matter is not something that he can do with a small five-grade matter.

And what made him feel even more headache was that this matter must have been known to everyone after Yang Zhen made such a fuss, and he wanted people to drive him away at this time, or lock him up, and then pretend that nothing had happened. Not only him, but also Luo Zhaonan was afraid and did not dare to make such a decision.

Glaring hatefully at this guy who caused trouble, Zhao Rui's thoughts flew in his heart, and he came up with a solution that was not a solution: "You go in with this official to meet Master Luo, and then explain everything to him." Yang Zhen hurriedly agreed, and followed Zhao Rui to the second hall honestly.

At this time, in front of the public halls in the second hall, the officials had not dispersed. Everyone was curious, even officials, and they wanted to know first-hand whether Zhao Rui could handle something they hadn't encountered before. When they saw Zhao Rui turn back, but behind him was a young man who was obviously not a retinue in the yamen, they all showed strange expressions.

"You stay here, and the official will report to Lord Luo first." After instructing this sentence, Zhao Rui took Yang Zhen's roll of paper and walked into the largest public hall in front of the second hall.

When Luo Zhaonan saw him come in, he frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Zhao Yanshi, why did you bring people in?" ”

"My lord, this matter is really difficult to handle, and the lower officials can't get their minds right, so I came to ask for instructions." As he spoke, Zhao Rui handed over the paper in his hand: "This person kept saying that he wanted to sue the prefect of Jingzhou, the prefect of Wuchang, and ...... Governor Hu Lin. ”

"Hmm......" No matter how strong Master Luo's qi cultivation skills were, he couldn't help but tremble when he heard him say this. casually unfolded the roll of paper and swept a few lines, and his face became even more ugly: "This is obviously a crazy person...... Zhao Yishi, just drive him out of the door! ”

"My lord, I'm afraid this matter won't work." Zhao Rui said with a wry smile, he also thought of this method just now, but judging from the current situation, it is impossible for them to do this: "This person named Yang Zhen has already made a great disturbance in front of my yamen, and he also shouted out the purpose of his coming, now not to mention that the whole city knows about it, those yamen and officials around must know." If we cast him out as a madman, if we are caught in the wrong place, we will be impeached.

"In fact, we all know very well what Governor Hu did behind their backs. If the court investigates in the future, we will be seen as accomplices in it, and then we will ......"

When Luo Zhaonan heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head. Zhao Rui is his more trusted subordinate, and the relationship between the two is not bad, so he can still listen to his words. If you think about it, this matter is indeed not simple, and even the person who came to complain, and it is unbelievable to say that no one instructed him.

The other party sued the second-grade member of the imperial court, the head minister of Huguang Province, as long as he was not a madman, he must know what the consequences would be. Only when there is a force behind him that can compete with Hu Lin can he have such the courage to make trouble in the yamen of the inspector department.

It's really a hot potato problem that you can't throw or take. But Luo Zhaonan is not an ordinary official in the end, and after thinking about it carefully, he already has a way to deal with it: "Call someone to go to the second main hall to prepare, and after the official changes his clothes, he will be interrogated!" ”

Since there is no way to cover up this matter, then simply take it seriously. As for the outcome of this trial, it depends on whether this person's life is hard enough.

Outside the yamen of the Criminal Division, many people were still pointing and whispering about the amazing scene that had just happened.

"This posterity is too bold, and he actually broke into the yamen like this. Do you think he can have a good outcome? ”

"Of course there is no good result, and I don't see who he wants to sue. Governor Hu, Ren Fuzun, that is what he can sue? He just broke in, and he had to be beaten to the least. ”

"A meal? This is a major matter of suing the officials with the people, how can it be enough to make a slap like this? I heard that two years ago, someone went to the government office to sue the third master of the county, what was the result? Not only was he beaten to death, but he was also falsely accused, and finally the whole family was sent to Hainan Island. ”

"Tsk, this is the protection of officials and officials. Now it is the governor and the prefect who are still suing him, and he is even going to sue his own life. I don't know what kind of deep hatred he has, and he has to take such a desperate road. ”

The people talked and sighed, some stopped here to see the result, and some said a few words and then left to go about their own business. Among the people who left, a few of them hurried towards the yamen near the Criminal Division.

In the governor's yamen, which was only half a street away from the yamen of the inspection department, Hu Lin was pacing anxiously in the public room. As soon as Yang Zhen made a fuss there, someone reported the news to him, and Governor Hu, who was reading the official documents, changed his face at that time.

"It's finally here. I knew that Ding Fei was a disaster, but I hated that Zhang Xun's waste had disappeared! Hu Lin was very annoyed, and knew that he would not evacuate the people arranged outside Luosi Alley, maybe this would prevent this from happening.

At this point, Hu Lin knew that regret was useless, so he sent someone to the Criminal Division to investigate the news and see how Luo Zhaonan dealt with it. In his mind, Yi Luo Zhaonan's shrewdness should not dare to take the risk of offending himself to take on this case, not to mention that according to the prosecutor's envoy, the Yamen did not do this. Maybe it won't be long before the complainant is kicked out as a madman or locked up.

Hu Lin was secretly ruthless in his heart, as soon as this person walked out of the Yamen of the Imperial Inspectorate, he ordered someone to take him down, and then convicted him and threw him into the prison to clean up.

But he has been pacing here for half an hour, and the person sent to investigate the news has not yet come back to report the news, which makes Hu Lin even more uneasy, did they detain people and lock them up, or did Luo Zhaonan really dare to be his enemy?

"My lord, my lord......" A cronie hurriedly walked in, and when he saw Hu Lin's eager appearance, he said: "There is news from the Yamen of the Si Si that the trial is open......

"What?" Hu Lin couldn't believe his ears, and stepped forward and said sharply: "You say it again!" ”

Seeing that the adult had lost his previous graceful demeanor and official bearing, the cronie also swallowed nervously, and then said again: "The Yamen of the Zhensi is trying the case, and he will investigate the villain, and he will try the person named Yang Zhen's complaint." ”

Hu Lin really didn't know how to express the resentment in his heart now, so he just waved his hand: "You go down." Then he sat back in his chair with heavy steps, his eyes glazed over.

Not to mention whether he will really let such a small person sue this time, just if someone dares to attack him with such fanfare, it will also be a great blow to Hu Lin's prestige, I am afraid that his life will not be easy in the future.

Contrary to Hu Lin's mood, Zheng Fang, who got the exact information in the political envoy's yamen at this time, was quite excited. He was also moving around his house a little quickly, unsettled.

He was worried about these days, for fear that Hu Lin would retaliate against him. After all, he completely tore his face with the governor, and the pressure in his heart can be imagined, especially when Hu Lin was not too damaged in the end of the imperial examination fraud case, which made him feel that this enemy was even stronger.

However, except for the previous transfer of him to Yuezhou Mansion, there was no other movement. But the more this is the case, the more uneasy Zheng Fang becomes, only thinking that the other party has something more terrifying.

Now that he learned that someone was going to find Hu Lin for trouble, he still reported him in public, which naturally lifted Zheng Fang's spirits and he was anxious to know the progress of the matter. But to be honest, from the point of view of reason, he is not optimistic that this matter can be done.

At this time, the cronies he sent to investigate the news had also returned, and Zheng Fang hurriedly pulled him over to ask for details.

"My lord, the trial has already begun in the Yamen."

"What?" Zheng Fang touched his beard and asked again in disbelief: "Can you find out that the trial is indeed the person who complained?" ”

"Not bad. It was the young man named Yang Zhen who was interrogated...... However, because they were trying the case in the second court, the villain did not know the details of the trial. ”

"Yang Zhen? Why is it him again? Zheng Fang was stunned suddenly, and he was deaf to the second half of the sentence. Of course, he still remembered this young man who came to see him late at night, but he didn't expect to get the news of him again under such circumstances: "What is the identity of this person?" ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, Yang Zhen's move completely broke the calm of Wuchang officialdom, and people from all sides have already paid attention to the punishment and the inspection of the Yamen, just to see what kind of verdict Luo Zhaonan can make.
