[022] to Bo Gongtang
After Zhou Yi was arrested, Zhou Sheng shouted to grab the sky, old tears, he is a people, a small people, although he often boasts that his ancestor is the first tea master in the palace, but in fact, he has lived for more than 40 years and has never even seen the county order of Qingshen County.
Now that Zhou Yi was taken away by the sudden appearance of the officials, it was tantamount to flying into trouble for him, so as to fully show his panic and helplessness as a flat-headed ordinary person who had no knowledge and honest duty.
Zhou Min even behaved calmer than him, Zhou Yi said two words in her ear before leaving, and she immediately found the direction of her next action.
"Okay, okay, Dad, I'm so old, it's a joke here, hurry up, my brother won't be fine." Zhou Min pulled Zhou Sheng up, helped him wipe his tears, and helped him to the backyard. When he entered the door, he glared at the little guy who was still shrunk behind the counter and said, "What are you still doing here?" Why don't you go out and pack up? ”
After calming Zhou Sheng's emotions, Zhou Min hurriedly went out and walked towards the Zhang family's mansion.
"Girl, please stay, this is the Zhang family's house, and you are not allowed to trespass." Zhou Min hurried to the Zhang family's mansion, but was stopped by two small servants outside the door.
Zhou Min said: "Two little brothers, I am from Daguan Tea House, I have an urgent matter to see Zhang Zhong and Zhang Gongzi, please make it convenient and go in to report." ”
"I see, then you wait a little now." A little boy turned around and went into the house, and after a while, Zhang Zhong came out with him.
Seeing Zhou Min, Zhang Zhonggong arched his hand and said: "It turned out that Miss Zhou had arrived, and she was disappointed, please come in." ”
Zhou Min said anxiously: "I won't go in, Zhang Gongzi, my brother was arrested by the yamen, you can save him quickly." ”
"What? Captured by the Yamen? Is there such a thing? Zhang Zhong lost his elegance just now and asked in surprise.
It is undeniable that since the Qin family married into the Zhou family, Zhou Yi has been intentionally or unintentionally become a qualified gambler by the Qin family, but in the past two months, he seems to have suddenly become a different person. This made Zhang Zhong very puzzled.
Looking at Zhou Min's frowning face, Zhang Zhong comforted: "Don't be afraid, your brother will be fine for the time being, you tell me why the yamen wants to arrest your brother." ”
While the two went in the direction of the Yamen, Zhou Min explained the ins and outs of the matter to Zhang Zhong. She didn't know about Jiang Meifang's conflict with Zhou Yi when she entered the Daguan Tea House before, but she just talked about it when the official entered the door.
"When it was time for dinner this morning, everyone was busy, and suddenly a group of people rushed in, and the officials began to smash things without saying a word, and all the guests ran away." Zhou Min said.
Zhang Zhongdao: "Smash things when you come in?" If you don't talk about the royal law, what's next? ”
"Then I saw Wang Xuerong, he said that my brother despised his family, and then my brother was taken away."
Zhang Zhong was amazed; "His family? He is in his fifties, and where can his family be younger, I have to say that your brother's taste is really extraordinary. ”
Zhou Yi said angrily: "Gongzi Zhang, my brother will not be like that, he is busy in the store all day long, and he doesn't even have time to go out, so how can he say that he is frivolous?" ”
Seeing that Zhou Min seemed a little displeased, Zhang Zhong hurriedly said, "I'm just talking about it casually, don't you care." Don't worry, I'm afraid someone is framing your brother, it's very easy to do, as a partner, I will definitely not sit idly by. ”
"Then thank you Zhang Gongzi." With Zhang Zhong's protection, Zhou Min was finally relieved.
The two came to the yamen after a while, and many people had gathered at the door to watch the excitement, squeezing to the innermost, seeing that Zhou Yi was fine, Zhou Min was immediately relieved.
In the public court, Zhou Yi still relied on his eloquence to interact with everyone, so it was not lively.
"My lord, the focus of our argument now is that you just listened to Wang Xuerong's lawsuit and directly sentenced me to prison without investigating and without physical evidence, as a county parent official, is it really good to do this?"
Su Jiaming's forehead was already slightly showing beads of sweat, he had never seen such a difficult person, ordinary people were already scared when they entered this yamen, where would they talk more? This week Yi is good, you say a sentence and he answers, he is not stage frightened at all, and more than an hour has passed now.
He slapped the shocked wood and shouted: "Okay, boldly Diao Min, the victim is still so stubborn in his own complaint, it seems that you won't tell the truth without punishment." Come on, get on the stick. ”
"Slow down, my lord, we will be tortured before we can say this clearly, even if I can't stand the trick in the end, aren't you afraid that the people will say that you will be beaten into a trick?" Zhou Yi said.
Su Jiaming sneered: "You Diao Min, you are flamboyant, you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, if you don't use the torture tools, I'm afraid you will die to the end, if you can't get justice for the people at that time, then what face will the official have to see the people of Qingshen County?" If the perpetrators of the crime can be brought to justice, even if the people insult me and insult me, I know it in my heart and have a clear conscience. ”
These words are said to be righteous and awe-inspiring, and there is quite a bit of the fearlessness of the King of the Earth Bodhisattva who said that I will not go to hell and who will go to hell. Many people were moved by the spirit expressed in this sentence and shouted loudly to express their praise for the spirit of the prefectural magistrate. If Zhou Yi hadn't been because he was the party, he would definitely have jumped up and applauded loudly.
"Adults are really good at it." Zhou Yi said without yin or yang.
Su Jiaming glanced at him and said, "Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, have you forgotten?" ”
Zhou Yi shook his head helplessly and sighed, and then Su Jiaming ordered two officials to come over, and they were holding sticks in their hands, and they were about to put them in Zhou Yi's fingers.
"Wait." At this time, a person finally stood up, and all the eyes of everyone looked over to this side, looking at Zhang Zhong who was coming out of the crowd.
Zhou Yi turned his head and saw not only Zhang Zhong, but also Zhou Min standing in the crowd, with pear blossoms on her face, Zhou Yi felt pity.
Su Jiaming was about to scold, "Above the court, who is making a noise?" However, when he saw that it was Zhang Zhong, he immediately dispelled this idea.
The Zhang family is a big family, as the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, not to mention that his political achievements still rely on these big families to create, Su Jiaming naturally will not yell at Zhang Zhong, it is purely his own unhappiness.
"Who am I, it turned out that Zhang Gongzi had arrived, what, could it be that you also have something to say about this case?" Su Jiaming said with a smile.
Zhang Zhong arched his hand and said, "What Lord Fang Cai said is indeed touching, if the Lord can really do what you said, it is my great Song luck." It's just that this week's son is my classmate and friend, and I heard that he had committed something, so I naturally wanted to come over and take a look, but this time, I saw some doorways, I don't know if you would like to let me say a few words? ”
As soon as Zhang Zhong spoke, Wang Xuerong next to him knew that this matter might not be solved so easily, he always thought that this down-and-out Daguan Tea House had always been the object of bullying by others, and there was no foundation in this Qingshen County, even if it was beheaded by the whole family, it is estimated that few people would feel distressed. But what he didn't expect was that at the moment when Zhou Yi was about to be imprisoned, Zhang Zhong ran out.
Zhang Zhong's grandfather is said to have been an official of Chengdu Fulu, although no one can say whether this news is true or not, but there is no doubt that the Zhang family belongs to a first-class family in Qingshen County. What Wang Xuerong couldn't understand was how Zhang Zhong would stand up for Zhou Yi at this time.
Su Jiaming naturally would not refuse Zhang Zhong's request, he waved his hand and said, "Say it." ”
"Master Xie." Zhang Zhong arched his hand again and said: "My lord, I went to school at the same time as this Heng brother, and I can be regarded as a good friend, and I naturally know one or two about his surname." ”
"First of all, I believe in his vision and will never covet other people's things."
"Secondly, as far as I know, there is no other evidence to prove the real surname of the incident except for the one-sided words of Wang Ji and his family members in this case. According to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, how can the victim act as a witness for himself? ”
"There is a third article, I learned from others that the last time Zhou Yi stepped out of the door of Daguan Tea House was half a month ago, which means that unless this Jiang family personally sent it to the door, this case must have happened sometime half a month ago. And when I passed by the Daguan Tea Shop just now, I heard from a regular customer that this morning the Jiang family entered the Daguan Tea House and quarreled with Zhou Gongzi, and now such a thing is happening, how can I explain this? ”
Watching him talk eloquently and say it one by one, Zhou Yi was also very impressed in his heart, the reason why this Zhang Zhong has a pivotal position in the Zhang family is that he really has two brushes. With a clear mind, quick thinking, and rigorous logic, if in the 21st century, he is a professional-level lawyer.
Zhou Yi also seized the opportunity and said, "My lord, what this young master said is much more reliable than what I said, right?" I haven't gone out for half a month, if it wasn't for Jiang's sending her to the door, then how could I slighten her? And if she sent it to the door herself...... May I ask my lord, can I be blamed for this? ”
"This ......"
Su Jiaming was speechless for a while, Wang Ji honored himself every year for silver taels, the Zhang family had a huge industry, and it was rumored that there was a high-ranking official background, and it was dangerous to move, which made him a little difficult.
Wang Xuerong suddenly turned around and angrily reprimanded Zhang Zhongdao: "Nonsense, it's just nonsense, it's just nonsense, how long has it been, how did you find those witnesses?" I'm afraid it's also fabricated out of thin air, not enough to believe, don't rely on your own family to be powerful and powerful, and shield the criminals, otherwise the people of the entire Qingshen County will not forgive you. ”
