By mid-September, the reclamation expert team did not give Zhang Wei reasonable advice, and Zhang Wei thought about it and ordered them to go to Sulu Province for an on-site inspection in advance, and he also wanted to go out to see the livelihood and construction of various places, and finally arrive in Sulu Province.

The group of experts accepted Zhang Wei's order and flew to Sulu Province by special plane.

On 16 September, Zhang Wei sailed aboard a Taiwan-class heavy cruiser dispatched by the Navy. This was the first time since the establishment of the empire that Zhang Wei toured the territory of the empire in a public capacity; The concubines Zhao Meiling and Chen Jingya accompanied each other, and they also came out to relax.

The first stop is set in the city of Surabaya, which is the second largest port in the empire and one of the heavy industrial bases of the empire, with the largest steel mill, glass factory, cement factory and numerous shipyards and machinery processing factories in the country.

Surabaya's ethnic industry is relatively developed, mainly investing in light industry and fishing industry, such as food, sugar, cigarettes, textiles, shoemaking, beer, etc.

Surabaya was also an important export area for the empire's agricultural products, such as sugar, rice, coffee, tobacco, teak, cassava, rubber, spices, etc.

Zhang Wei can't ignore such an important city, and some time ago there was a crime incident involving the Surabaya family, so he had to go to the local area to observe the people's feelings.

At about 1 p.m. on the 17th, the heavy patrol and the freewheeling destroyer docked at the fourth pier of Surabaya Port.

The local military and political departments received a telegram from the Government Council two days in advance that His Majesty the Emperor was going to inspect Surabaya, and the local authorities were fully prepared. The fourth pier is a passenger terminal, which is temporarily opened as a dock for warships.

The local government also organized a grand welcome ceremony; The local garrison has done a good job of tight security.

The warship docked, the ladder was erected, and the accompanying officers and men of the Yulin Guard disembarked first to do a good job of protection.

At this time, there was silence on the shore, and all the personnel looked up in the direction of the exit of the warship, all wanting to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor.

Zhang Wei stood on the ladder at the exit of the warship, waved the cool hat in his hand, and shouted: "Long live the citizens of the empire!" ”

"Long live the Empire!"

"Long live the Empire!"

The crowd let out a cheer, then fell silent again, waiting for Zhang Wei to continue speaking.

At this time, a very discordant female voice came out behind the crowd: "Your Majesty, help, I want to sue the emperor!" ”

All the military and political officials present were stunned, not knowing what to do, Yu Linwei, who was in charge of security, caught a middle-aged woman who was neatly dressed but skinny behind the crowd.

Yu Linwei unceremoniously controlled it, put his arms behind his back, and pressed it to the ground.

The welcoming crowd quietly watched as Zhang Wei and the military and political officials dealt with it.

The military and political officials saw that she was just a helpless woman, not an assassin, and half of her heart was relieved, but she couldn't get over it; The local mayor ordered: "Escort to the detention center for the time being, and deal with it afterwards." ”

Zhang Wei thought to himself, if it weren't for the great grievance, a weak woman wouldn't dare to sue the royal court, so he shouted: "Wait, send her over." With that, he walked off the warship quickly.

Yu Linwei first searched the woman, found no weapons, and confiscated all the hairpins and other hard objects on his body before escorting them to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei said: "Let go of her, a weak woman, is not worthy of everyone to be so excited." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The two Yulin guards let go of the weak woman, but they didn't leave, keeping an eye on her every move, and ready to do it at any time.

Zhang Wei said kindly: "I am the emperor of the empire, and I will protect the legitimate rights and interests of every citizen of the empire; Didn't you say you were going to sue the royal court? If you have any grievances, tell me and I will make decisions for you. ”

The woman suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Zhang Wei continuously, and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the people's daughter." ”

Zhang Wei wanted to pull the woman forward, but Zhao Meiling took the first step forward to help the woman and said: "Now that the empire is not happy to kneel, if you have any grievances, just say it." ”

The woman looked to be in her 40s, with dark and rough skin, about 160 tall, with a skinny body, hunched back, and was not in good health. Wearing a thin gray cloth gown, because he was pressed to the ground by Yu Linwei just now, he was covered in mud and had a lot of dust on his face; Due to the fright just now, there was not a trace of blood on his face.

Zhao Meiling wiped her tears with a handkerchief and the dust on her face.

No one urged, and all the tens of thousands of people on the dock waited quietly for her to speak.

After the woman stabilized her mood, she choked up and said, "Li Guoxia, a woman of the people, sue my man, please ask Your Majesty to approve our divorce." ”

Zhang Wei and everyone present wondered, how could a small divorce case make a weak woman sue the court regardless of the danger of her life? There must be a secret in it. So Zhang Wei asked: "Divorce cases can be sued in court, why do you want me to sue the royal court?" You tell me the details, I'll listen. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, our family immigrated to Surabaya from Shandong, I am responsible for farming at home, taking care of housework, my man works in the factory, and later he became a worker in a state-owned factory, now my son is older, he has gone to secondary school, my man is on good terms with a woman around the unit, don't want me anymore, beat me every day, I don't dare to go home, I filed for divorce 2 times to the court, he did not agree to the divorce, our house he also changed the real estate certificate, divorce not only did not give me anything, but he wrote a lot of IOUs to relatives and friends, Let me bear his debts in order to get a divorce; Our family earns a lot from farming, his salary is a lot of income, there is no foreign debt at all, and the court does not give a judgment, so I can only do odd jobs everywhere now, I can't go back to my home, and my children can't see me. ”

"Why didn't the court give a verdict?"

"The court asked me to provide evidence that he beat me, and I am illiterate, how can I provide evidence? All the people of the village came from the same family as him, and they all turned to him; He changed the title deed of the house, the house we built together, I have lived in that house for so many years, what evidence do I have to provide? And his IOUs, I don't know at all; The court doesn't investigate, it just asks me to provide evidence, how can I provide evidence? If I don't want a house, I don't want to farm, I don't want any property, and I take on his debts, then the court can grant a divorce, isn't this trying to force me to die? Is there any reason for this? I am not in good health, I can't live for a few years, and my greatest wish is to be able to divorce before I die, and ask Your Majesty to be the master. As she spoke, she was going to kneel and kowtow to Zhang Wei again.

Zhao Meiling hugged her in time and didn't let her kneel.

Zhang Weiwei understood that after a man became rich, his morality deteriorated, and the clan forces sheltered him and committed perjury, so he said to everyone with a blue face: "We have so many judges, so many grassroots government personnel, we can't even handle such a simple divorce case, so that such a weak woman is displaced and helpless, so that the sky should not be used, and the earth is not spiritual; If it weren't for the injustice and the injustice, why let a weak woman risk her life to sue the court? This is a serious dereliction of duty on the part of the government, allowing the people to be wronged, and it is a dereliction of duty on me, the emperor, and I will try the case on the spot today; Go and bring me the judges of the court, the president, her man, the factory where she works, the head of the village, and the mayor of the town. Those who do not arrive within 1 hour will be severely punished! ”
