Chapter 258 Case Judgment [I]

Luo Zhixian actually got the news not long ago, although he was in a hurry, but he was not so nervous. After listening to the master's words, he frowned lightly and said, "The master is a little alarmist, right?" How does this matter have anything to do with King Wei? The official found that the master seemed to be very hostile to King Wei! ”

Luo Zhixian's words later, there was some accusation that the master wanted to use him as a gunman.

The master was sad from his heart, he didn't want to think about Luo Zhixian with all his heart, and he flattered Luo Zhixian with the intention of flattering Luo Zhixian, and finally got such a suspicion. The endless coldness makes the master feel as if he is in the ice and snow, and the master is still red. Body. Dew. Body. of the kind.

The master lowered his head and was silent.

Luo Zhixian probably also felt that his words just now were too much, and hurriedly reassured: "This official still trusts you very much, but don't think too much about those things." ”

What can the master do, he can only nod bitterly and say, "Yes!" Students naturally understand Dong Weng's painstaking efforts! ”

…………

On the 14th of September, at dusk, it was already Bo Xishan.

The soldiers shouted and prepared to close the gates. At this time, at the end of the road, there was a rapid and dense sound of horses' hooves. The soldiers guarding the gate did not pay attention, there were strict rules for closing and opening the city gates, but there was nothing more than human affection. But the gatekeeper suddenly stopped the matter that had already closed most of the gates. "Stop!"

The soldier immediately turned his head to look at the commander in surprise.

The gatekeeper said, "It's the king of Wei who is back to the city!" ”

When the gatekeeper thought about it, it seemed too flattering for him not to close the city gate, and hurriedly added: "Close it slowly!" ”

When Zhao Yu arrived, the city gate was only three-quarters closed, and there was still enough passage for two people to pass through, so naturally there were palace guards who went up to get Zhao Yu's token and ordered the door to be suspended.

When entering the city, Zhao Yu took a deep look at the gatekeeper, and after passing the city gate, he smiled at Yang Wenguang and said, "That gatekeeper is so slippery!" ”

Yang Wenguang was at the grassroots level, but he knew about this situation, and said disapprovingly: "The one who guards the city gate, the one who is not smart?" So many merchants who have traveled from south to north have entered the city here, if you are rigid, I am afraid that I don't know how many people I will offend, and I don't know how many times I have been deceived! ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Zhong Rong is right!" ”

It's just that in his heart, Zhao Yu has an idea, he doesn't care about other soldiers in the future, and the few battalions of soldiers and horses under his command will definitely not be able to defend the city. The army is a sharp blade, and the sharp blade does not need to be thought, and the sharp blade with thought will evolve into a rebellion of feudal towns in five dynasties and ten countries.

After entering the city, Zhao Yu did not work, he had been hunting for the past two days, but Zhao Yu was tired, and under the service of the maid, after grooming, he held the eyelids of the fight in front of him, and listened to the important things reported by Feng Shenji. Zhao Yu yawned, waved his hand and said, "Well, everything is handled well, Qi Xian, you do things, this king can rest assured!" ”

Feng Shenji was also knowledgeable, and hurriedly confessed: "Lord Wang, there are still some things in the Xiaguan's family, so I will retire first!" ”

Zhao Yu was very satisfied with the knowledge and knowledge of his subordinates, and said with a slight chin bow: "Hmm! That's it for today! You've worked hard for the past two days! ”

"Yes! The next official retires! Feng Shenji was polite again and turned to leave.

Zhao Yu also yawned, and with the lantern in front of the maid, as soon as he touched the bed when he returned to the bedroom, his sleepiness was like a choppy wave, drowning Zhao Yu. In the end, it was the maid who helped Zhao Yu take off his coat and official boots, cover the quilt, and light tobacco to repel mosquitoes.

I have to say that the ancient rich and noble lived a comfortable life, and it is not enough to describe it when clothes come to reach out and food comes to open their mouths.

The next morning, the petitioners who had already gathered in the towns and villages on the outskirts of Guizhou City flocked to Guizhou City, and the crowd was surging, chanting all kinds of slogans.

"Give me back the sky!"

"Exterminate the Warriors!"

"Zhaoxue's unjust case!"

The slogans were shouted loudly, but when they reached the city gate, the voices of the petitioning people couldn't help but be lowered. I saw hundreds of soldiers in helmets standing outside the city gate. The armor on his body was shiny, and although the morning sun was not strong, it also emitted a slightly dazzling light.

The soldiers were lined up in eight rows, four on the left and four on the left, as if they had been measured with a ruler. The soldiers who faced the petition ignored each other, and each looked at each other on both sides of the road. The iron-blooded gesture made the atmosphere of the people who petitioned and couldn't help but be suppressed.

But the people have already arrived outside the city gates, is it because the officers and soldiers have not done anything, but only lined up and returned?

So the petitioners had to walk in hard, and to their secret relief, these officers and soldiers did not do anything, but just stared blankly at the petitioners passing in front of their eyes.

When I entered Guizhou City, I immediately saw the petitioners in Guizhou City who had come to meet. In fact, the people who come to petition, Guizhou itself is the main force, after all, ancient times are not as good as modern times, and going out is a more troublesome thing, and it costs a lot. Big families are not good people, so they can naturally save it.

Zhao Yu was sitting in the state office, holding a volume of "Spring and Autumn" in his hand, and there was a piece of watermelon on the side of the case.

"Lord Wang!" Although Gongsun Xuanxu has not yet recovered, he still came to Jingde Hall with his sick body.

"Oh! Yes, sir! Come and sit, Ah Wu just bought a fresh watermelon from the market, and it was very sweet and powdery! Seeing that it was Gongsun Xuanxu, Zhao Yu immediately put down the "Spring and Autumn" in his hand and greeted Gongsun Xuanxu with a smile.

Gongsun Xuanxu sat down with a smile and said, "The prince is becoming more and more general-like, and he is not chaotic in danger!" ”

Zhao Yu laughed and said, "Sir, is this praising this king, or is it secretly sarcastic that this king actually has the heart to read books and taste watermelons at this time?" ”

Gongsun Xuanxuan couldn't help but laugh with Zhao Yu when he heard this, and after half a ring, he restrained his smile, looked at Zhao Yu with a smile and replied, "What do you say, prince?" ””

Zhao Yu touched his nose a little dismayedly, and said, "How does this king feel that it is the latter?" ”

At this time, a maid came up and gave Gongsun Xuanxu a piece of watermelon, Gongsun Xuanxu took the opportunity to avoid this topic and shouted: "This watermelon is good, how many princes do you have?" A few are poor! ”

Before Zhao Yu could answer, Liu Changan walked in from outside, respectfully gave Zhao Yu Shiran, and said: "Lord Wang, the people who entered the city to petition have been calculated, there are more than 18,000 in total, and there are also more than 2,300 people in the city, a total of 20,000 people. ”

Gongsun Xuanxu heard this, but stroked his beard with a regretful face and said, "It's too little! Too little! Why is it so human? Didn't you say 30,000? ”

Liu Changan was shocked in his heart, what happened to this old Taoist priest who had always been respected by the prince? Silly? More than 20,000 people are still less? Guangnan West Road is only 800,000 people, and now there are two or three out of a hundred!

Zhao Yu smiled and said: "Mr. is too taken for granted, although it may be said that there may be a maximum of 30,000 people, but in the end it is an estimate." However, this is also good, which shows that there are still a considerable number of people in Guangnan West Road who are afraid of the imperial court. ”

"Wow! For! For! Feng Shenji walked in like the wind, bowed his hand to Zhao Yu, and bowed to Gongsun Xuanxu, and said, "Lord Wang, everything is ready!" There was probably half of the matter left, and the petitioners went to the yamen. ”

Zhao Yu bowed his head slightly and said, "Then when will we leave?" ”

Feng Shenji said: "It's almost time to set off now, after all, it's better to be earlier, you can slow down, it's better than rushing on the road!" ”

Zhao Yu looked at the watermelon that he hadn't eaten with some regret and said, "It's a pity!" Busy! Then let's go now! By the way, this king hasn't changed his clothes yet! Do you say it's better to wear court clothes or official clothes? ”

Although the court clothes are called court clothes, they are not worn when they went to court. In some solemn ceremonies, such as worshipping the heavens! New Year's court! The emperor ascended the throne, the emperor ascended to heaven and so on, of course, when you insisted on wearing it when you went to court, no one said anything about you. However, because the court dress is worn at a grand ceremony, the dress is very bright and solemn, and the sleeves can be mopped on the floor, and it is cumbersome to wear. It looks good, but the one who wears it suffers.

The official uniform, also known as the provincial uniform and the regular uniform, is composed of a round-necked robe on the right side, a gauze hat and a belt. Officials usually work and go to the yamen to do business, and they wear this kind of clothes. However, in terms of high-end atmosphere, it is obviously much worse than court clothes.

Gongsun Xuanxu has a lot of Zhao Yu, and he will also use some later terms. said with a smile: "The prince is pretending to be forced on this trip, since this is the case, it is natural to wear court clothes!" ”

Although Feng Shenji didn't understand what this pretending to mean was, he still figured out the meaning of the word even after guessing. "Lord Wang, wouldn't this be too contrived? Although it is said that everything is arranged, it cannot be known to the common people! ”

Gongsun Xuanxu retorted disappreciatively: "What do the common people know? Cough! Cough! And is the prince doing this, is it harming them? ”

Feng Shenji smiled helplessly and bitterly.

Zhao Yu stood up and said, "Sir, pay attention to rest!" This time, let's sit in the yamen. The court clothes are good, but they have to suffer again! ”

Gongsun Xuanxuan said helplessly: "This disease, really...... Ahem! ”

Feng Shenji slandered in his heart: "Cough up your tuberculosis ghost!" ”

Zhao Yu hurriedly said with concern: "Don't call the doctor yet?" ”

Feng Shenji interjected: "Lord Wang, it's almost time!" ”

Zhao Yu nodded, and said to Gongsun Xuanxu: "Sir, pay attention to rest." Qi Xian, you tell this king about the arrangements and see if there is anything wrong! ”

It is not Zhao Yu who is short of breath for children and daughters, although he is concerned about Gongsun Xuanxu's body, Zhao Yu still talked to Feng Shenji and went to the bedroom to change clothes.

It took a long time for Zhao Yu to come out of the bedroom again. I have to say that the court clothes are not anything else, as soon as they are put on, they give people a feeling of high-end atmosphere and grade.

"The prince is really a dragon and a phoenix among people!" Feng Shenji immediately stepped forward and slapped his ass.

Zhao Yu smiled disapprovingly and said, "You guy will say flattering words, stop talking nonsense, let's go!" ”

Feng Shenji smiled stupidly and led the way.

After putting on the court clothes, Zhao Yu had no way to ride a horse. Zhao Yu sat in a rare once-in-a-time eight-person official sedan chair, and in front of him were more than a dozen officials to open the way, holding high the plaques with red lacquer and gold characters such as "Quiet", "Avoidance", "Qin Ciwei Wang", "Guangnan West Road Transfer Envoy". The eight-person sedan chair is flanked by four selected high-headed horses, carrying four samurai who look like they immediately give people a sense of might. Behind them were forty palace guards in helmets and armor, each armed with fancy ceremonial spears, but the swords they carried with them were real ones.

The group moved forward in response.

There were also cavalry shouting in front of him: "The prince heard that the people are petitioning, and he has come to relieve the worries of the people!" ”

It's not a cavalryman, it's more than a dozen cavalrymen, and the people who are far away can't help but praise: "The prince is really dedicated to the people!" ”

I have only heard of the people going to the officials to complain, and there are officials who go to the people to ask if there is any suffering? Although the taste of contrived is obvious, the people of this era really eat this set.

If this is a virtual world, it is estimated that Zhao Yu will increase by three percentage points in the item of people's hearts.

Zhao Yu and his entourage came to Dongshikou with a pinch, this is the largest square in Guizhou City, of course, this square is not leisurely and elegant, and the annual killing of prisoners is carried out here. Therefore, although it is a large place, no one dares to buy land here to build houses. Who wants their home to be haunted at night? And it's not a good ghost, the death row prisoners who died at Dongshikou are either extremely vicious, or they are wronged to the extreme, according to Taoist words, these ghosts are very fierce!

Getting back to the point, Zhao Yu came to the entrance of the East Market, and the other end gathered together, and the needles in the crowded streets could not be inserted and splashed into the water. After entering the city, there was an undercover host sent by a big family, and the momentum rose again. There are all kinds of slogans, and there are almost no big rebellious slogans such as defeating the king of Wei.

The two men were already approaching, and the officials in front of them also gave way and lined up on both sides. These people know a little bit about it, and although the undercover agents sent by the big families keep agitating, the momentum of shouting slogans has still decreased.

After the Northern Song Dynasty unified the south, the decades of rule left behind could not be shaken by undercover agents sent by a few big families.

At this time, an old man intervened between the petitioners and Zhao Yu's eight-person official sedan chair. Without saying a word, he knelt down towards Zhao Yu's official sedan chair, "Bang! Bang! "A few loud kowtows." Wronged! Lord Wang, please avenge the grass people! ”

When the petitioners saw this, they could not help but pause. After all, they are not rich families, and a considerable number of them are bitter haha. For the old man who looks like he is from the lower class, it is natural to have a sense of closeness and sympathy.

Zhao Yingwu stood on the side and opened the curtain of the official sedan chair for Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu got out of it and asked, "What is this, old man?" Please come on! If there is any grievance, this king will naturally seek justice for you! ”

While speaking, Zhao Yu didn't like the old man's dirtiness, and personally helped the old man up. The people who were watching nearby couldn't help but praise it. "This prince seems to be dedicated to the people! You see, the old man is so dirty, like a beggar, and he is said to be a noble person like the prince, and we, the ordinary people, have avoided it when they see it, and they may personally help the old man there! ”

"Not really! I can't imagine that His Royal Highness King Wei is such a person! The old man was lucky, he met a Qingtian lord like King Wei! ”

"It's hard to say, if King Wei is a good person, why are so many people petitioning?" There are those who praise it, and there are naturally those who oppose it.

Don't say what the onlookers say and think, go back to Zhao Yu. The old man who was lifted up by Zhao Yu was none other than Li Mason, and with Zhao Yu's promise, Li Mason couldn't help crying and said, "Lord Wang, you have to be the master of the poor daughter Chunniang of the grass people!" ”

"Chun Niang? Why is it so familiar? ”

"I remember! Isn't that from "Lingui Love"? Could it be a real story? ”

"You're outdated, it must be a real thing! But I heard that the flower Tai Sui father in it is our county master of Lingui County! I don't think King Wei will avenge this old man! Who would offend the county lord for the sake of a pariah? ”

"Not really! As the saying goes, officials protect each other! Alas! The way of this world ......"

Under Zhao Yu's arrangement, among the crowd of onlookers, countless people identified the identity of Li Mason, and at the same time expressed the intention of protecting the officials. made the people who originally felt that there was a blue sky lord, and their hearts couldn't help but be shrouded in a layer of haze.

Zhao Yu softly comforted Li Mason, stood up, and arched his hand in the direction of the petitioning people. The people returned the salute in fear.

cleared his throat, and Zhao Yu's clear voice spread far away. "All the fathers and villagers came to Guizhou City to petition, and this king also knows! However, there is a major human life case involved here, so please wait a while, okay? This king will definitely not delay time, and as you have seen, this king has personally come to greet all of you! ”

Zhao Yu has said that to this extent, can these petitioning people still say half a 'no'? Those who are highly respected were pushed out and said to Zhao Yu: "The old man believes in King Wei's thousand years old, so just wait for a while." Let's go to the yamen! ”

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "It's too troublesome, and it's also hard for all the fathers and villagers who came from afar. So be it! Anyway, this place is also empty, and the case is tried here, and all the fathers and villagers are watching. ”

The onlookers couldn't help but turn their heads and praise each other. "This prince! What a good officer! ”

"Not really! These petitioners are looking for trouble with him, and now they are still worried about each other's hard work! What a man! ”

"A good person is not necessarily a good official! Don't forget the protection of officials! "Someone came out again to pour cold water.

Let's say that Zhao Yu has tens of thousands of people, so it is naturally impossible to take care of all aspects. However, in order to let as many people as possible see the trial, Zhao Yu asked people to set up a high platform at Dongshikou. This is not a hassle, because there is a perennial stock of wood here at the mouth of the city. Why? When you kill someone, you have to build a high platform.

At the same time, the nearby restaurants and tea shops were quickly occupied by large families who came to see the excitement. In order to win over the hearts of the people, Zhao Yu also asked Feng Shenji to arrange for someone to bring tea to the onlookers. The people who were moved by the onlookers were speechless, they had seen such a close official there.

At this time, the high platform has been built. The big black wood case used by one side to try the case is placed in the center. No one doubted why the black wood book case that was originally placed in the yamen appeared here.

The Black Wood case put all the items used in the trial, such as the four treasures of the study, the shocking wood, the wooden token, and so on.

'Knock knock' With the sound of the three links, the trial began. Twelve burly officials, with angry eyebrows, black and red hats, soapy uniforms, shiny black official boots, and long sticks in their hands, came up from the wooden ladder, stood in two columns, and faced each other on the high platform.

Zhao Yu, who was dressed in a gorgeous and solemn court dress, sat behind the black wood case. The solemn expression and majestic costumes set off the majesty of the young King Wei Chitose!

Zhao Yu took a deep breath, picked up the startling wood on the table, and slapped it hard, only to hear a crisp loud sound of 'pop', and then Feng Shenji, who was a guest master, stretched out his voice and shouted: 'Rise...... Hall! ’

'Wei ...... Wu ......'s third class of officials smashed the water and fire sticks on the wooden plank, and there was a sound. The people who watched nearby couldn't help but take a few steps back, and their hearts were shocked.

"Bring the bitter master Li Mason......" Zhao Yu said loudly. The voice dragged on, don't ask why, the officials on TV shouted like this. (Embarrassment!) ）

Immediately, I saw Li Mason, under the escort of two officials, one left and one right, walking on the temporary high platform, just on the high platform, looking at Zhao Yu's eyes, I don't know whether he was frightened by the serious atmosphere in front of him, or grateful to Zhao Yu. Far away, Li Mason knelt straight on the ground. "Lord Wang, I want to avenge the grass people!"

There was a buzz in the crowd. The trial is usually in the second hall of the yamen, and the idle people can't see it, but today I was able to see it because of fate. I couldn't help but make the onlookers secretly excited, and everyone craned their necks and looked around. I didn't dare to blink my eyes, lest I miss something wonderful by looking less.

The mouth did not fall, and one by one they seemed to become officials sitting on the trial of the case, and expressed their opinions one after another.

Zhao Yu frowned slightly, and slapped the shocked wood and said, "All kinds of people stay quiet!" ”

The officials still don't know how to do it? Immediately, they poked the water and fire sticks on the wooden board, making a shocking 'click' sound, which made the onlookers feel numb for a while, as if they were about to be spanked, and the huge Dongshikou immediately became silent.

Someone from the big house on the sidelines immediately changed color, and said in a low voice to the people around him: "The official authority is very heavy!" This hairy kid is not easy to deal with! ”

Zhao Yu's thoughts, if they are known, I am afraid that his jaw will fall all over the ground. Don't look at being a big official for several years, but when it comes to trial, Zhao Yu is still the first time. Just like Guangnan West Road as an example, although Zhao Yu is also the governor of Guizhou, Zhao Yu is mainly responsible for the position of transfer envoy.

The magistrate of Lingui County is responsible for the small cases, the Guizhou magistrate is responsible for the larger ones, and the larger ones are handled by Feng Shenji. When it comes to Zhao Yu's trial of cases, those are all big cases that are rare in ten years and cause a sensation. Either the son kills his father, or he kills everyone. But where can such cases arise at random?

Therefore, this is Zhao Yu's first trial, and the first trial is just that. Zhao Yu's mind actually was: Damn! I can't complain that so many people want to be officials, this feels like being God, high up, saying that you will live if you are born, and if you die, you will die. The taste of power is really better than poppy. Su is even more charming!

"When does the bitter lord complain!" Zhao Yu asked.

Although Li Mason had stopped his tears, he couldn't help but cry again when he heard this. Intermittently, I told the story once.

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Where is the paper?" ”

Feng Shenji immediately walked up, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said, "Lord Wang, the paper is here!" ”

Naturally, this piece of paper was not Li Mason's, but Feng Shenji called a scribe who was proficient in articles and wrote it for Li Mason when he was building a high platform just now. Although it is not a beautiful flower, it is three points in terms of words and blood.

Zhao Yu picked it up and looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and instructed Feng Shenji: "Let people recite the paper on all sides!" Let the people know what's going on! ”

Although the storyteller has been out for two days, it is not many days. It's hard to guarantee that everyone has heard about it, and in the end, what Zhao Yu wants is for people to know what good things Luo Qing has done.

Eight literate and literate military men were selected, and naturally there were scribes who quickly copied several copies, one for each person, and recited them in unison on the high platform. Imposing!

The words in the paper can be said to be three points into the wood, which makes many people sympathize. Even if they had already heard the storyteller spread it, the people couldn't help but be amazed, and they all accused indignantly: "This Luo Qing! Damn it! ”

"A thousand cuts!"

"Five horses split into corpses!"

"Smack!" Zhao Yu slapped the startled wood, and the officials immediately poked the wooden board again. The chatter and shouting at the mouth of the East Market stopped at this time.

Zhao Yu said solemnly: "Li Mason! ”

Li Mason immediately trembled and promised: "The grass people are here!" ”

Zhao Yu said: "Is the Er-like paper true? This is an official eunuch, if it is a false accusation, even this king will not be able to protect you! ”

The onlookers waited for a chill in their hearts, how could King Wei's words seem to be threatening? Alas! It seems that the officials are still protecting each other! The angry mood was immediately like pouring a basin of cold water, and there was nothing.

The big people upstairs looked farther than the small people below, either frowning or showing a thoughtful look.

"This King Wei made such a big commotion, and asked eight soldiers to recite the paper in all directions. How is it possible to make a farce of thunder and rain in front of so many people? ”

Regardless of what others thought, Li Mason's head kowtowed respectfully three times, and said with a crying voice: "The grass people are willing to vouch for their surnames, and there is no trace of falsification in the content!" Please avenge the grass people! ”

Zhao Yu bowed slightly, and said majestically: "Okay, since you said so...... Come! ”

"The subordinates are here!" A squad leader came out of the queue and stood respectfully at the bottom of the hall.

Zhao Yu took out a token, threw it out, and said, "Bring the suspect Luo Qing back!" ”

The team leader picked up the token, but he looked embarrassed and didn't move.

Zhao Yu's face turned pale and he shouted, "Could it be deaf? Didn't you hear the words of this king? ”

PS: Although it's a little late, the 7,000 more still comes out! Ha ha! Keep up the good work tomorrow! (To be continued.) )
