Chapter 141: Promoted to Prefect
When Cheng Yuanzhen sent Liang Sheng to the yamen, he actually sprinkled at the yamen for the old disrespectful, scolding and laughing for a while, rolling on the ground for a while and not allowing anyone to help him, allowing Kang's dirty dust to stain his body.
Liang Sheng naturally took this opportunity to run into the yamen to seek refuge. Liang Xingfa walked out with a smile and said to Cheng Yuanzhen: "Father-in-law is better to take care of his health." Lying on the ground all the time is prone to rheumatism. Besides, you're a lot older, so why can't you afford to lose? ”
Cheng Yuanzhen cried and said to Liang Xingfa: "You hurry up and return my son's body to me." ”
Liang Xingfa said to Cheng Yuanzhen: "Who said that I took your son's body? ”
When Cheng Yuanzhen heard this, Liang Xingfa actually played a scoundrel on his head, and he was so angry in his heart. He jumped up and grabbed Liang Xingfa's hand and shouted: "How can you be so faithless, I have taken a step back, why don't you know how to advance or retreat." ”
Liang Xingfa broke away from his hand, stepped him back, and then said to him very seriously: "How can we do something as filthy as you." Your son's body must be in your home. If you don't believe me, go back and see for yourself. ”
Cheng Yuanzhen has nowhere to express his anger in his heart, and there is no place to complain if he has grievances. I had to run back, and yelled at Liang Xingfa: "You wait for me." ”
In fact, Liang Xingfa had asked his subordinates to quietly put his son's coffin back. Because Liang Xingfa had already expected that he would definitely do it.
In this incident, Liang Xingfa also wrote a letter and sent it to the court. The imperial court also agreed to acquit Liang Sheng. And Liang Xingfa was not afraid of the powerful because of his impartiality, and the official was promoted to the prefect of Yangcheng, and the bigger the official position, the greater the pomp and circumstance. Every time I go out, there is always a large group of men huddled in front and back. The Seven Monsters of Songshan and Liang Xingfa's daughters naturally followed Liang Xingfa to the post.
The bigger the official, the more entertainment there is. The first few days of Liang Xingfa's new official office were spent in a staggered manner. However, this still does not affect his reputation for impartial law enforcement.
On this day, Liang Xingfa returned home from an inspection trip and saw a young woman kneeling at the door of the yamen wearing linen and filial piety from a distance.
Liang Xingfa hurriedly asked the tiger-headed monster to run over and tell the woman to stand up, so she didn't have to kneel so hard.
However, the woman did not appreciate the kindness of the tiger monster, and she was very persistent in kneeling. When the tiger monster asked her why she was kneeling, the woman said, "I won't stand up until I see an adult." I've been kneeling here for two days, and if I still don't see the adults, I'll continue to kneel. ”
The tiger monster said to the woman, "You will soon be able to see the adults, so get up quickly." ”
The woman said, "You have said so since I first came here, so your words are not credible. ”
The tiger-headed monster said to the woman, "Look behind you and you'll see the adults." The woman looked behind her, and sure enough, she saw a sedan chair slowly approaching this way.
The woman rushed like a hungry tiger to a sheep and threw herself at the palanquin. As a result, she was stopped by many officials, who asked the woman what she wanted to do.
The woman shouted, "I want to see your lordship." I have a grievance. The servants told the woman to kneel down and speak. But the woman only cried and did not kneel, even though she had been so fond of kneeling.
Liang Xingfa walked out of the crowd and looked at the woman carefully. I saw that she was about twenty years old, with a slender figure, a thin face, and a little delicate.
The tiger-headed monster ran over and told Liang Xingfa that the woman had been kneeling for two days. Liang Xingfa spontaneously felt a feeling of pity for the jade, so he said to his subordinates: "In the future, if a woman comes to report the case, you can't ask them to kneel." ”
However, things always go in the opposite direction that Liang Xingfa hoped. Liang Xingfa just said that there was no need to kneel, and the woman actually knelt down again with a "poof". caused Liang Xingfa to think to himself, this woman must have a hearing problem, maybe she can only hear the second half of the sentence when she is obedient.
The woman asked Liang Xingfa loudly: "Are you the newly appointed prefect?" ”
Liang Xingfa replied to her: "Yes." What's your name? ”
However, the woman did not answer Liang Xingfa, but just stared at Liang Xingfa directly. After a long time, the official impatiently urged the woman to answer the prefect's question quickly.
Liang Xingfa felt that the woman should be in a trance, and people who have suffered major blows are usually like this. Therefore, Liang Xingfa asked people to take the woman back to the yamen.
In the yamen, Liang Xingfa was not in a hurry to interrogate the woman, but asked a Lang Zhong to take her pulse. Later, Na Langzhong told Liang Xingfa that the woman's body was very weak and her throat was inflamed.
Liang Xingfa had to ask Lang Zhong to quickly grab a pair of medicine and give it to the woman. Who knew that after the medicine was ready, the woman didn't want to take it, so she ran straight to the study to find Liang Xingfa. She had something to say to Liang Xingfa, but she couldn't say it, and her voice was quite hoarse.
Liang Xingfa said to the woman, "Have you taken medicine?" The woman shook her head, staring at Liang Xingfa with a pair of big delicate eyes.
Liang Xingfa asked her why she didn't eat it? The woman didn't speak, and her throat really hurt a lot. So, Liang Xingfa said to her with a serious face: "If you don't listen to me and refuse to take medicine, then I won't listen to you either, and you can go back wherever you come from." ”
The woman was very anxious, but after seeing Liang Xingfa's resolute expression, she had to obediently walk back to the kitchen and take the medicine. Then Liang Xingfa prepared a guest room for her to rest for the night, and she would talk about anything tomorrow.
The woman was in agony until dawn. That Lang Zhong really deserves to be reincarnated Hua Tuo, the woman got better soon after taking his medicine, and now she can speak as usual again. So she ran to Liang Xingfa's study as soon as possible.
About a quarter of an hour later, Liang Xingfa came. The woman hurriedly knelt down and greeted Liang Xingfa. Liang Xingfa didn't like the way she knelt at every turn. Pretending to be angry, he said to the woman: "I said don't kneel, you still have to kneel, do you deliberately want to go against me?" ”
The woman said with trepidation, "No." I'm just a grass people, how can I not kneel when I see a big official. Isn't that a broken rule? ”
Liang Xingfa said to the woman: "It is the rule that I don't have to kneel here. You're going to make me feel bad. Because I'm not used to this. ”
When the woman heard Liang Xingfa say this, she had to do what he wanted and stood up. Liang Xingfa then ordered her to go to breakfast, otherwise she wouldn't even have the strength to speak.
The woman did not dare to eat. But Liang Xingfa insisted that she eat, and sent a maid to take her to find food. When the woman returned to the study, it was already full of people, the Songshan Seven Monsters stood on the left, and the squid Zen Master and Zhou Lijun stood on the right. Liang Xingfa sat in the middle, and he asked what was the woman's name?
The woman said, "My name is Zhou Zixiang. A native of Qinggu County. My husband was killed by someone else, and I came to seek revenge from my lord. (To be continued.) )
