Chapter 64: Carrying the Coffin to Demonstrate
Besides, Wang Boss used the cart to pull the coffin to the Kaifeng Yamen, commanded Ma Quan, Sun Xiaoshan and others to lift the coffin off the car, and placed it horizontally in front of the gate of the Yamen with a "long dang" sound, blocking the road in and out, and then lifted the coffin lid, snatched the broken gong "Dangdangdang" from Sun Xiaoshan's hand and shouted loudly while knocking: "Gentlemen passing by, old and young masters, everyone come to take a look, this coffin is my hard-working brother who was killed." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
The pedestrians who came and went "sighed" and surrounded them, and suddenly crowded the entrance of the yamen.
The official guarding the door hurriedly ran into the lobby and reported: "Lord Prefect, the big thing is not good. β
The prefect Chen Changzhou "snapped" and shouted: "What is the fuss about, what kind of system." Something to talk about slowly. β
The official pointed to the door and said, "Master, I came to sue the boss Wang in the morning, but I don't know where I pulled a coffin and blocked it in front of the yamen." said that the person lying inside was his younger brother who had been killed. β
Chen Changzhou said angrily: "This Diao Min is just messing around, go and bring him in a few people." β
The two officials responded: "It's the big master!" Then he walked out.
After a while, the two officials dragged Wang Lao by the collar and pulled him in, and "poof" fell in front of Chen Changzhou and said, "Master, Diao Min has brought it." β
Boss Wang turned over and knelt down and said, "Lord Prefect, you have to be the master of the villain." β
Chen Changzhou sneered: "Be in charge!" What do you let the prefect do for you? β
Boss Wang snorted twice and said: "My lord, my brother was indeed killed, don't believe it, you go to the yamen to take a look, I have already brought the corpse." β
Chen Changzhou said angrily: "Boldly Diao Min, what do you think, you dare to pull the corpse here to blackmail the prefect." In the morning, you were unreasonable and roaring in court, the prefect thought that you had the pain of losing your brother, and didn't care about you, but I didn't expect you to have to make an inch, I can warn you, it is wise to pull the coffin and get out, otherwise don't blame the prefect for being unkind, and give you a big board. β
Boss Wang stiffened his neck and said, "My lord, how can you treat a person full of grievances like this, there is still no place in the world to be reasonable." β
Chen Changzhou stood up from his seat, walked over and circled around Boss Wang twice with his hands behind his back and said, "Yes, this yamen is a place to reason, but you are absolutely not allowed to make trouble for nothing." β
When Boss Wang heard this, he immediately lay on the ground and played a scoundrel and said, "My lord, if you don't give the villain an explanation today, you won't be able to." β
Chen Changzhou laughed and said: "Haha, okay, you kid, you dare to play this game with this prefect." Come on, give me a heavy responsibility for twenty boards, and drag it out. β
Before the words fell, the four wolf-like servants pounced on him, pressed Wang Boss on a torture bench, and "popped ......" was a big board slapped down, and the skin of Wang Boss was opened, and then dragged up like a dead dog, and threw it next to the coffin at the yamen, and then the door of the yamen "banged" and slammed to death.
Sun Xiaoshan, Ma Quan and others were stretching their necks there to look in, and when they saw that Boss Wang was thrown out, they hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said, "Brother Wang, it seems that this trick won't work." Let's go back! β
Boss Wang gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to go back, if you go back, I don't believe that dog official dares to beat me to death." β
Ma Quan also persuaded: "Boss Wang, don't control your anger here, the gate of the yamen is closed, can you still fly in." β
Wang Laodao: "I won't go back, I'll sit here for a night tonight with the coffin." β
Ma Quan and the others glanced at each other, and Sun Xiaoshan said, "Brother Wang, take care of yourself, and a few of us will go home first." β
Wang Laodao: "Okay, let's go!" β
Looking at the backs of Ma Quan, Sun Xiaoshan and the others leaving, Boss Wang scolded hatefully: "Fuck, what kind of stuff are they, hypocritical dog mongrels." "Actually, Boss Wang doesn't touch his chest and think about it, these people are just friends who eat and drink together on weekdays, and it would be good if they could help you pull the coffin to the yamen, no matter what, they won't be like the people in the officialdom, doing some tricks that fall into the ground.
Affection, what's the use, can it be eaten as a meal?
The sky gradually darkened, and the stars in the night sky looked at Boss Wang curled up next to the coffin with that pity, and a meteor crossed the sky, as if to say, there are some things that should not be what you want......
In the imperial city at the end of the royal street, the crisp bell came out melodiously from the Xuande Palace, and the early dynasty began.
Emperor Zhenzong was sitting on the dragon chair, and there were hundreds of civil and military officials lined up on the left and right under the main hall, and the eunuch stood behind Emperor Zhenzong, tearing out his sharp voice and shouting: "Long live the early dynasty, something to start, nothing to retreat." β
Because it is currently in a peaceful and prosperous era, there is no beacon fire on the border, and the people in the territory live and work in peace and contentment, so there is no minister to go out to work, and the eunuch sees it and shouts according to the routine: "Long live the early dynasty, there is something to start, nothing to retreat from the court." β
At this time, a minister walked out of the civil official train, holding the board in his hand and making a loud voice: "Long live, the minister Li Di has something to do." β
Emperor Zhenzong said lazily: "Aiqing, something is coming quickly." β
Li Di said: "Your Majesty, when Weichen came to Xuande Hall this morning and passed by the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion, he saw a coffin lying in front of the Yamen of the Mansion, I don't know if it was a good thing done by that person." As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Chen Changzhou who was standing in the queue next to him.
Emperor Zhenzong was surprised when he heard this: "What nonsense, what's going on with Chen Changzhou!" β
Chen Changzhou hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this is a person who is unreasonable and raises the coffin to blackmail Weichen. β
Li Di has always been unaccustomed to what Chen Changzhou did, and always wanted to find an opportunity to suppress it, so he said: "Lord Prefect, I'm afraid there is something hidden here." What are good people going to do with their coffins? β
Chen Changzhou said: "Lord Li, what you said is not responsible, that person is just because his younger brother was working at the development site of Freezer Street, there was an accident and was injured, and he complained that the shopkeeper there gave little compensation, so he came to a wicked person to sue first, and wanted to take the opportunity to extort some money." What do you think I should do with such a person, so I just ignore him. β
Emperor Zhenzong listened and said, "Chen Changzhou, what the hell is going on, you explain the ins and outs of it clearly." β
So Chen Changzhou carefully explained the matter of Boss Wang's complaint, and added a sentence after speaking: "Your Majesty, according to Weichen, that Boss Wang is purely a Diao Min, and such Diao Mins must be severely punished, otherwise everyone will follow suit, and this will become a palliative and adulterous one." β
Before Emperor Zhenzong could speak, Li Di said, "Lord Chen, what you said is not right!" β
Chen Changzhou argued: "Li Retro, what is wrong with me stating to Your Majesty what happened? β
Li Di said: "Yes, it is right that you stated the matter to Your Majesty, but you should not open your mouth and close your mouth to a Diao Min." Your preconceived attitude will inevitably affect your trial of the case. β
Chen Changzhou said unconvinced: "Boss Wang is messing around and making trouble unreasonably, isn't it Diao Min?" β
Li Di Zhenzhen said: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, it is not the king's ministers, the people of the world are all long-lived people, and they should be treated equally. Moreover, after years of hard work, we have created this peaceful and prosperous world, there is no war and famine in the world, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, but there are some lawbreakers, who are unkind to the rich, bully, forcibly take and plunder, regard life as grass, and collect ill-gotten gains. β
Chen Changzhou said: "Li Retro, I, Chen Changzhou, asked myself to do the right thing, I don't dare to say that I am doing my best to govern Kaifeng Mansion, that is also a clear understanding, this Wang Boss has received a high compensation fee, but he is still opening his mouth in the lion, it is pure extortion, such a person is not Diao Min, what is it!" β
Li Di sneered: "Hmph, Taizong Li Shimin once said in the Tang Dynasty that the people are water, the king is the boat, and the water should be able to carry the boat and also capsize the boat." What is your purpose in despising the people in this way? β
When Emperor Zhenzong heard this, why did this matter get bigger and bigger, and then he said that it was okay, so he said: "Why should the two Aiqing bother about this matter." Let's not say a word. I think that Boss Wang has already received a high compensation fee! After a while, he sent someone to persuade him to carry the coffin away. β
Chen Changzhou nodded when he heard this, and retreated.
Li Di raised his head to Emperor Zhenzong and said, "Your Majesty, this matter can't just be left alone. β
Emperor Zhenzong said: "Why is this? β
Li Diyi said solemnly: "Your Majesty, yesterday's incident has been in an uproar, it can be said that the city is full of storms, everyone in Kaifeng Mansion knows it, how to explain it to the people, there are people who don't know the truth, they are bound to think that the ministers have not fulfilled their responsibility to govern the country, which is not conducive to punishing evil and promoting good." β
Obedient and listening, Emperor Zhenzong listened to Li Di's words and tasted them carefully. Oh, it turns out that you, Li Gugu, are squeezing me with these words, if this matter is not over, it means that I have not done my duty. Thinking of this, Emperor Zhenzong played a kick ball and said: "Then according to your Li Gu's opinion, what should be done about this matter." β
Li Di said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. β
Emperor Zhenzong said: "What are you looking after? β
Li Di said: "Track down the builder Ding Qian, who was working on Freezer Street. β
Emperor Zhenzong said: "According to what Chen Changzhou said, Na Ding Qian has already given compensation to the family of the deceased, and it is a high amount of compensation. β
Li Di said: "Your Majesty, what Weichen means is to investigate Ding Qian's crime of concealment and non-reporting. β
Emperor Zhenzong muttered: "How can this Ding Qian hide it and not report it. β
Li Di said: "Yes, casualties at construction sites are common, but since there are dead people, they should be reported to the government first." But Ding Qian took the coffin by himself and disposed of it without authorization, just ask who gave him such a big courage, where so much energy came from. β
Emperor Zhenzong said disapprenously: "Li Aiqing, what background can a small builder in Ding Qian have?" β
Li Di pulled his throat and said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten the princess's renunciation!" β
Li Di's words evoked the things that Emperor Zhenzong had settled in his heart, right! Isn't Ding Qian the nephew of Ding Wei, the Minister of Counsel, good that you Ding Qian caused the princess to leave home, and now you have made such a block of things. Thinking of this, Emperor Zhenzong raised his eyelids and looked at both sides of the main hall, and deliberately said slowly: "Is Ding Gongyan here?" β
At this time, Ding Wei was scolding Li Di in his heart, and he couldn't wait to turn out the eight generations of this Mr. Li Guru's ancestors, and when he heard that Emperor Zhenzong was calling his name, he hurriedly went out of class and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is here." β
Emperor Zhenguozong nodded and said, "Ding Gongyan, what do you think about this matter?" β
Ding Wei thought that since you Li Di pointed the finger at me Ding Gongyan, then I should be polite, so he said bluntly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Li Gu said is ill-intentioned. β
Emperor Zhenzong said: "How do you say this? β
Ding Wei said: "Your Majesty, there are no less than a dozen casualties caused by construction in Kaifeng City every year, why does Li Gugu just talk about it on Freezer Street." Also, as far as the minister knows, after the casualty accident, it has always been handled by the construction party itself, and then reported to the government for the record. β
Emperor Zhenzong didn't speak, just turned his gaze to Li Di.
Li Di coughed and said, "Uh-huh! Lord Ding, I'm just talking about things, why do you use a malicious hat to oppress people. Yes, there are a lot of accidents and casualties caused by construction in Kaifeng City every year, but people only build three or five houses for their own living, unlike Ding Qian, who developed the entire street with great fanfare. β
Ding Wei said: "Just now, everyone also heard what happened to the prefect of Chen Changzhou, which is clearly that the boss Wang is holding the dead to blackmail the living, and doing that extortion, such lawbreakers must be severely punished, otherwise it will not be tolerated and adulterated." β
Li Di said: "How can this be true, Wang Boss and others are all vulnerable groups, they look up to people for fear of not being able to do so, how dare they extort money, it is clearly Ding Qian's bullying that led to such a thing, I think there is really something hidden here." β
Ding Wei pointed to Li Di's nose and said, "Li Retro, what do you say is hidden here, I don't believe that Wang Laosan was killed by someone." β
Li Di said coldly: "Whether you were killed or not, you don't count, I don't count what I said, you have to let the facts speak." β
When Emperor Zhenzong heard the two quarrel, he angrily patted the dragon case and said loudly: "It's not like words, it's not like words, it's too like words." How can you two be like shrews as ministers of state? β
When Ding Wei and Li Di heard this, they stared at each other like two fighting roosters, and no one was talking.
Emperor Zhenzong saw that the two of them were like this, so he said, "You Aiqing, which of you has a good way?" β
The civil and military ministers of the two classes, for fear of offending Ding Wei and Li Di, looked at each other and did not speak.
Emperor Zhenzong said angrily: "Why, on weekdays, all of you are boastful, but today you have all become dumb!" β
Prime Minister Kou Zhun saw that Emperor Zhenzong was angry, and hurriedly went out of class and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Ding Gongyan and Li Gugu are holding their own words, and it is not a way to continue chattering and arguing like this, so it is better to let Yin Chen Changzhou, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, send a puppet to conduct an autopsy on the victims, so as to give a clear statement to the families of the deceased." If there is really a hidden situation, then Ding Qian will be brought to justice, and if there is no hidden situation, the people's shouting can also be blocked. β
Emperor Zhenzong listened and said, "The prime minister's words are exactly what I want. Then he said: "Chen Changzhou, you listen to me, and immediately after you go back, you will send a skilled servant to examine the body of the deceased and the scene of the accident, no matter who is involved, no matter who is involved, you must not engage in favoritism, otherwise you will be severely punished." β
Chen Changzhou hurriedly knelt down and said, "The minister obeys the order!" β
Emperor Zhenzong raised his eyes and looked at the civil and military officials again, and then stood up and said, "Retreat from the dynasty!" With the support of the eunuch, he walked out of the main hall.
