Chapter 12: Strange Injustices Through the Ages
Hearing the sound of drums outside, Liu Tuishi, who was still idle, changed his face slightly.
The drum has not been knocked for several years, and when it was sounded a few years ago, it happened to encounter a tragedy involving more than a dozen lives, which was a sensation, and the Chixian county order at that time was accused of being stupid and incompetent by the supervision of the imperial history because of this, and since then the career has been bumpy.
And now, the drums are beating again.
At this moment, a servant reported urgently: "My lord, someone claims to be Qin Shaoyou of Ruchun Restaurant, accusing someone of plotting to seize family property, beating drums and sounding grievance......s."
Liu Tui Shi and Zhou Wen looked at each other. Immediately, Liu Tuishi was furious.
He also said who was the one who came to complain, and it turned out to be the nerd who didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Here, in fact, there is a procedural issue involved, Zhou Wen told Qin Shaoyou, it is a civil dispute, so it is only a small case, according to the rights and responsibilities, it is Liu Tuishi to try, but Qin Shaogu's drumming and injustice, this is a big case, in this way, Liu Tuishi has no qualifications for trial, and must be tried in person by the labor county, and the place of trial cannot be in the side hall, but should go to the people's hall.
In addition, what Qin Shaoyou was carrying was a small case of money disputes, although he was the defendant, but now because of this big case of beating the drum and resounding grievances, he instantly turned passive into active and became the plaintiff.
The consequences of beating the drum and crying out for grievances are self-evident, and once the accusation is untrue, it will be a catastrophe. But right now, for Liu Tuishi, the civil case that was originally completely under his control suddenly lost control, which really displeased him.
But even so, he still said to Zhou Wen: "This drumming will definitely alarm the county zun, since you are the defendant, according to the rules, you should also go to the court to wait for trial, but don't be afraid, what kind of waves can a nerd turn over, this official will move to the people's hall and negotiate with the county zun first." ”
Zhou Wen nodded and said, "If this Qin Shaoyou's accusation is not true, what should it be?" ”
Liu Tuishi sneered: "What you told is not true, that is, there is no place to be buried, and it just fulfills your wish." ”
Zhou Wen's heart is steady, in order to snatch the plaque, Zhou Wen's plot is not a day or two, and he has a very thorough understanding of Qin Shaoyou's temperament, this is a nerd who is ignorant of the world, presumably he is muddy again, dare to beat the drum and make trouble for the county, and he has Liu Tuishi secretly helping him, Qin Shaoyou is killing himself.
Thinking of this, he brushed his beard out of the side hall and waited under the corridor of the Qinmin Hall.
The county magistrate suddenly jumped with chickens and dogs, this county order is surnamed Liu, Liu County Commander heard the grievances outside, and suddenly felt a big headache, so he had to arrive at the Qinmin Hall, and the two classes of errands each stood with water and fire sticks, and Liu Tui Shi walked in cautiously, and when he arrived at the side of the case, he lowered his voice and said: "Liu Gong, the people who beat the drum and voice the grievances are famous. ”
Liu Xianling's face was very ugly, but he still said patiently: "Where does this start?" ”
Liu Tui Shi hid the plot that he was familiar with Zhou Wen, leaned towards Zhou Wen, and roughly explained what happened.
Liu Xian Ling suppressed his brows, his face showed anger, and said, "In this way, Diao Min has sued him?" ”
"Sort of."
Liu Xian Ling felt even more disgusted with Qin Shaoyou in his heart, and today he sounded the drum of injustice, putting a stain on his official reputation, not to mention, if Qin Shaoyou only sued because of the defendant, then this son would be really hateful.
He slapped the shocked wood: "Come, bring people!" ”
……………………
In the Purple Palace.
Needless to say, Shangguan Wan'er accompanied her and occasionally accompanied Her Majesty to dine, she was the empress's henchman, although she was called a female official waiting for the edict, her status was very different from that of ordinary female officials.
In order to consolidate the imperial industry and strengthen the status of the empress, the etiquette system of the Great Zhou Dynasty has a certain sacred color, for example, the empress now calls herself the Holy Spirit Emperor, and this Luoyang is renamed the god capital, both she claims to be a god, and naturally she wants to be different from mortals, that is, to eat, but only to live behind the heavy curtains, a table alone, enjoy the delicacies.
Shangguan Wan'er set up a long case in front of the curtain, and dined with His Majesty across a layer of gauze tent.
It's just that today, Shangguan Wan'er seems to be a little distracted, and the delicacies on the case have not been used.
Within the curtain, a gentle voice came out: "Wan'er, do you have something on your mind?" ”
"Your Majesty...... I ......"
"You're going to tell again, aren't you? If you don't have any worries, why don't you drink or eat? ”
Shangguan Wan'er smiled bitterly in her heart, she ate Qin Shaoyou's soup yesterday, which made her have an endless aftertaste, and now she has no appetite for eating these overly flavored delicacies. It's just that, but she can't say it, so she smiled and said, "The minister is feeling unwell today. ”
"Oh, then, let's go and rest."
"Yes."
Shangguan Wan'er got up, gave a big salute, and slowly withdrew.
She is actually a very regular person, but whenever she leaves the Son of Heaven, she always goes to the room or Lingyan Pavilion to study, and the Lingyan Pavilion is only known for the portraits of the twenty-four heroes, but she doesn't know that there is a collection of books in the palace, countless solitary books, like the vast stars, but today, Shangguan Wan'er has no intention of reading, although she really wants to check it, that sentence Heaven and Earth have righteousness, where does the manifold come from, but the food is not delicious, so she misses the taste of 'pearl jade soup', so she simply went to make the room.
It's just that as soon as I arrived at the room, a eunuch happened to come in panting, and said, "Aunt Commander, Luoyang County...... Someone beat a drum and shouted a grievance ......"
Shangguan Wan'er was unmoved, and said angrily: "Beat the drum and voice grievances, what does it have to do with me, that's a matter of prison." ”
"It's Qin Shaoyou who beats the drum......"
"It's him ......"
Shangguan Wan'er understood, because His Majesty had specially instructed Ruchun Restaurant, so for everything there, Shangguan Wan'er not only paid attention, but also ordered someone to secretly monitor, and now, Qin Shaoyou of Ruchun Restaurant made a big case of beating drums and complaining about grievances, so he naturally reported it as soon as possible.
"Oh? For what? ”
"I don't know this, I just know that someone sued this Qin Shaoyou for not paying his debts."
Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but be cold: "I understand, with his unwillingness to suffer, people sue him, he will sue people, he is not a nerd, he is a treacherous villain who refuses to suffer losses and plucks the feathers of geese, very good, don't pay attention to it, order Wang Anren and others to stand still, as long as they don't hurt their lives." Let Luoyang County give him a little hardship. It's good to beat him, and after a beating, see if he dares to be presumptuous anymore. ”
Shangguan Wan'er's mood suddenly became extremely happy, so she casually picked up an unfinished edict on the case and watched it absentmindedly: "Go down." ”
………………
Qin Shaoyou had already arrived at the Qinmin Hall at this time, and saw that directly above, a crimson robe official was kneeling and sitting, with two shifts of errands on the left and right, and another person kneeling on the side of the case, this person was Liu Tuishi, Liu Tuishi was looking at him coldly at the moment, clearly ill-intentioned.
Qin Shaoyou didn't squint, and stepped forward to bow: "Qin Shaoyou, a grass people, has seen his parents. ”
Liu Xianling's impression of Qin Shaoyou was preconceived, and besides, this beating of the drum made his official reputation precarious, so he was shocked and only treated him as a prisoner to interrogate: "Who is coming, what are the grievances!" ”
Qin Shaoyou was respectful and said busily: "Parents, the grass people's surname is Qin, and the name is Shaoyou...... It is a Luoyang people's family, the ancestors and grandchildren of the grass people for several generations, living in Luoyang, making a living by running a wine shop, and the grass people have read some books since childhood......"
Seeing that this guy shook his head and shook his head, he almost turned out the details of his ancestors' eighteen generations, Liu Xianling felt very irritable, he suddenly understood that Qin Shaoyou was going to beat the drum and voice his grievances, probably because such people are ignorant of the world, and they are stupid to read and read, and bring the world in the books into reality, but who is to provoke whom in this county, you don't know what, but you can't come to pit me?
Liu Xian Ling interrupted angrily: "Okay, okay, tell me quickly, who are you suing, why do you want to sue him?" ”
Qin Shaoyou was very serious, and he said stubbornly: "Parents, if you want to know who the grass people are suing and why, it will be a long time." ”
Liu Xian Ling almost vomited blood, if it weren't for this Qin Shaoyou being the plaintiff, it stands to reason that he should not be sentenced, not to mention that all such cases are generally sent to the Criminal Department for inspection, and indiscriminately beating them will hinder the official reputation, and Liu County Ling can't wait to call someone to slap his mouth immediately.
"Keep it short."
Liu Tuishi on the side saw Liu County's displeasure, and couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart, this Qin Shaoyou is really a nerd, he annoyed Liuxian Ling, and he will suffer later.
Qin Shaoyou still shook his head and said: "The student thought about it, this matter is very important, but it still can't be said that the person who is accused, Zhou Wen, has not yet arrived, so there should be a confrontation first." ”
Liu Xian Lingqi's face darkened, and it was not easy for him to ease up, just these three words, he knew what kind of person this Qin Shaoyou was, this is a more real person, a more real person with a book, you really can't do anything to deal with such a person, so he had to say: "The person who is being sued, Zhou Wen, where is he now?" ”
The messenger said, "It's under the verandah." ”
"Biography!"
After a while, Zhou Wen came.
As soon as Qin Shaoyou saw Zhou Wen, he immediately shouted: "My lord, he is the one the student wants to sue." He wants to rob his students of their ancestral business. ”
Zhou Wen saluted to the Liuxian Order, and Liu Tuishi on the side gave him a look, Zhou Wen understood, and said: "My lord, this son is reversed black and white, please be aware of it." ”
Such a small dispute is so big, you have to laugh off your big teeth when you say it, Liu Xian Ling said coldly: "Quiet! You guys come together one by one, Qin Shaoyou, right? You speak first! ”
