Chapter 289: Chao Zongyu [II]

Zhao Yu Shi Ran said: "How could this king come here to entertain the mansion? This king is about to get down to business! I want to sue Huang Li, a Zhengde pharmacy on Donghe Street, for attempting to abduct and sell the girl Hua Xiangrong! ”

Although Huang Li was afraid of Zhao Yu, but at this point, he also aroused the fierceness in his bones.

Although the Song Dynasty was the era of the rise of Zhu Xi's science, it only arose after the Southern Song Dynasty, and the status of women in the Northern Song Dynasty was not low, and compared with the previous dynasties, they were widely integrated into the society and had a certain degree of independent economic ability.

Therefore, the crime of abducting and selling young girls is not light, but it will not lead to beheading, but it is not a problem at all to be arrested and locked up for four or five years. It's just that for Huang Li, how is it different from killing him?

After four or five years in prison, what is left of the family's property? The wives and concubines in the family are not gone? And he is still pampered, in that prison, I don't know if I can survive the past four or five years!

Therefore, as soon as he heard this, Huang Li retorted loudly: "Lord, as a prince, you can't slander Xiaosheng!" Xiaosheng is a serious scholar, how could he do such a bad thing? At most, Xiaosheng wants this little lady to pay for it when she has no money, but is this wrong? ”

Huang Li's words are not feasible in modern times, but they are very reasonable in the Song Dynasty. Because in this era, there is still a pawn wife, to put it bluntly, that is, the poor family has no money, so they pawn their wives to the rich family and pawn them for a certain time. And there are also detailed regulations, such as if a woman is pregnant during the pawn period, the child will be raised by the pawn owner.

If there is a pregnancy, but the pawn expires. and when the woman returns to her husband's house. The warden also has to pay the money on a monthly basis. When the child is born, it is decided whether the child will stay or not. If the pawn doesn't want it, he has to pay an extra sum of money, and if he wants this child, then everything will be fine.

Therefore, it is not wrong for Huang Li to want to pay for it, and even if it is coercive, the government also believes that this is one of the necessary means.

Since Zhao Yu dared to say this, he was naturally sure. "Really? Then how did the king see that the debt was not due, and Huang Li, you were going to force the flower to let the little lady repay the money? And that's only twenty times. Just force the other party to pay for it? It's not that this king looks down on you, so he wants to look like a little lady, go out and shout who is willing to marry her, I'm afraid that there are many people who give a dowry of one or two hundred! The most important thing is that Er Ke said that the reason why you did this was because of the instructions of the third son of the Lu family! ”

The third son of the Lu family?

Chao Zongyu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if he wanted to say what ordinary people said about the third son of the Lu family, Chao Zongwei didn't feel anything. After all, there are millions of people in Bianliang City, and there are not 10,000 but 8,000 people with the surname Lu, and this Lu family Saburo doesn't know if there are hundreds or thousands. But it came out of Zhao Yu's mouth. Chao Zongyu didn't know why, and felt that this matter didn't seem to be so simple. It should have something to do with Lu Yijian.

After all, with Zhao Yu's ability, why bother to make trouble here in Kaifeng Mansion? Directly catch the forbidden army patrolling the streets, naturally some of the forbidden army are willing to serve Zhao Yu and borrow twenty times? Sensei said that he borrowed 20 runs, even if he sent 20 runs, 200 runs, and there were forbidden army generals who were willing to send them out!

Huang Li also remembered that he seemed to have said such things at this time, but he also reflected that he didn't seem to be fighting alone. If he is silent on this matter, he will appreciate it if he wants to come to Lu Sangongzi, and even if he is convicted, he may save himself. And this matter is pulled to the third prince of Lu, doesn't it offend the Lu family?

Therefore, after Huang Li came back to his senses, he immediately denied it: "There is no such thing at all!" Lord Wang, you have a noble status, why bother Xiaosheng as a scholar? There are other excuses for slander! ”

Zhao Yu sneered and said, "It seems that it is still from Ximen Street, you really can't remember?" ”

Chao Zongwei listened to the three words of Ximen Street, and he didn't know that the third son of the Lu family was written by Lu Yijian's third son, Lu Gong. There was some clarity in my heart, it was all the trouble that this flower wanted to cause, but I just took a closer look at this woman's appearance. Chao Zongyu couldn't help but be slightly surprised. It's no wonder that although Lu Gongzhu knows that this woman is most likely entangled with King Wei, and wants to grab food, in the face of such a beauty, can that young man not be frivolous?

Speaking of that Huang Li, since he had made up his mind in his heart, although Zhao Yu said the name of the place, he would naturally not give in. Huang Li still had a blank look on his face, and said: "Lord Wang, the little student on Ximen Street knows, but the Lu family on Ximen Street seems to be the prime minister's family?" Who is Xiaosheng? doesn't even have a fame and a body, how can he be such a rich and noble family! ”

Chao Zongyu knew that most of what Zhao Yu said was true, after all, although Zhao Yu could toss, he was not the kind of person who liked to make trouble. Otherwise, although many people in the government and the opposition hate King Wei, the reason why they hate it is because of his identity, not because of his virtue.

It's just that if you know these things, Chao Zongyu doesn't want to make a big deal about it, and when he saw Zhao Yu empty-handed, his heart moved. said: "Okay, you can't finish talking about it, so hand over the paper first!" If there is no pleading, how can this official try the case? ”

Huang Li was stunned when he heard this, and immediately his heart was overjoyed, and he also remembered that Zhao Yu came to Kaifeng Mansion with himself, and what kind of paper was there. Unless Zhao Yu has already been prepared, but is this possible?

Waiting for Zhao Yu to bring the paper, I'm afraid it's going to be tomorrow. With a night of preparation, I don't dare to say that I handled things seamlessly, how can I say that the Lu family also has a preparation, and with the help of the Lu family, I can go there badly?

"Paper, huh?" Zhao Yu sneered, making Chao Zongfu a little frightened, he did have some bias towards Lu Yijian, but he was also afraid of stimulating Zhao Yu too much.

Chao Zongfu coughed and pushed: "This is the law of the country, and the official has no choice, so the prince will be considerate!" If you bring the paper tomorrow, the official will definitely accept it, please rest assured, please prince! ”

Zhao Yu walked to Chao Zongwei's master and said proudly: "It's just a piece of paper!" What's so hard? ”

With that, Zhao Yu snatched the brush from the master's hand and lifted the half-recorded testimony, revealing the snow-white paper behind it.

Chao Zongyu was shocked and said, "Lord Wang, what are you trying to do?" ”

The master sat on the chair stupidly, a little at a loss. What does this prince want to do?

"Writing paper!" While speaking, Zhao Yu lifted the pen and danced with the dragon and phoenix, Chao Zongyu still wanted to say something, Zhao Yu had already put the brush aside, twisted the rice paper with both hands, blew a breath, and said proudly: "The paper is here, the mansion can accept it, right?" ”

Chao Zongfu was a little speechless, although he heard that Zhao Yu was versatile in the past, Chao Zongfu didn't feel much. thinks it's just that Zhao Yu's Qingzhou Mansion reported to Zhao Yu to advocate it, after all, there are only a few things that Zhao Yu is famous for, and after being amazing in literature, he was immediately annihilated among mortals, like a flash in the pan.

Now it seems that he is a little arrogant.

Chao Zongwei had no choice but to let people take the paper and send it to him. This piece of paper was written for a short time, and the handwriting was inevitably scribbled, but if you look closely, the format and text are clearly expressed. Chao Zongwei makes excuses at this time, and Zhao Yu will have a reason to make trouble, but Chao Zongwei can't bear Zhao Yu's toss.

"Ahem!" Clenched his fist and coughed in his mouth, Chao Zongwei said: "Since there is a paper, the official will naturally accept it!" It's just that I just listened to the testimony of the prince, which seems to make sense, but no matter how you say it, it's also one-sided. Does the prince have any witnesses? If not, even if it is what the prince says, the official has to think that it is slander! ”

"Evidence? It is easy to say that there were two shopkeepers and apprentices in the pharmacy at that time, and they sent someone to find them to know who said what was true and who was false! Moreover, these two people are Huang Li's employees, and this king believes them, so it can be seen that their words will definitely not be wrong! Zhao Yu raised his head slightly, and his eyes were bright.

Chao Zongyu bowed his head slightly and said, "Since the prince has said so, this official will send someone to summon the two of them!" ”

Cao Feiliang's eyes flashed with a gleam, he stood up slowly, and said, "Let Fuzun personally order these two untouchables to be promoted, so let the official send someone to go!" ”

A flash of disgust flashed in Chao Zongwei's eyes, and he politely refused: "This is the duty of this official, what is there to say about not lifting?" ”

"Fuzun is really a first-class figure of Zhuge Liang! I do everything myself, which is really admirable to this king! Zhao Yu suddenly praised at this time, and he was still smiling when he spoke, but it just made Chao Zongyu a little uncontrollable.

After a while, Chao Zongfu shouted: "Cao Changlin, you take someone to summon the shopkeeper and apprentice of Zhengde Pharmacy to come over!" ”

This Cao Changlin is none other than Cao Feiliang's distant nephew. Although the order was given by Chao Zong, how different is it from Cao Feiliang's order?

In the final analysis, Chao Zongyu and Lu Yijian were not involved much, and they were just selling favors to each other before. It's just that if Zhao Yu exerted pressure, and he didn't know how much support Lu Yijian would give him in this matter, Chao Zongyu finally had to give in to this.

It didn't take long for the shopkeeper and apprentice of Zhengde Pharmacy to come, and I don't know what means Cao Changlin used, at least on the surface, I can't see that the shopkeeper and apprentice are being abused. However, when it came to the confession, the two immediately said in unison that Huang Liyou had said the two key words of the third son of the Lu family and Ximen Street.

Huang Li's face was like ashes at this moment, his lips were open, and he didn't know what to say.

"If you confess this, the king will spare your life. After all, you are an ant, and people will not hold grudges against an ant! At this time, Zhao Yu said suddenly.

The voice is so low that others may faintly hear some words, but it is absolutely impossible to hear them completely.

Huang Li's face froze, a desire to survive flashed in the depths of his eyes, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, Huo Ran knelt down and said, "Lord Fuzun, Xiaosheng has confessed!" Confessed! All of this was sent by Prime Minister Lu's third son, Lu Gongshu, to let Xiaosheng do this, and Xiaosheng was forced! (To be continued......)
