Chapter VII The Governor of Zhejiang Province Rescued by His Daughter
"Who is coming, why are you so bold to obstruct this official's case?" Zhao Qulei said cautiously.
The person who came did not reveal his name, nor did he bother to talk about it, but took out a sign with him and showed it to Zhao Qulei.
Seeing the brand, Zhao Qulei's expression obviously changed so much, even Zhao Heng felt it.
"It's ...... General ...... of Zhejiang Province The Governor, who turned out to be the Governor, was disrespectful. I wonder if the Governor has come to Hangzhou in person? Governor Zhao, who was familiar with the official card, saw that it was the governor's order, and saluted forward in a panic.
However, he was still very glad in his heart, fortunately he didn't order him to be taken down just now, otherwise it would not only be a black hat, but also a possibility of moving his head.
You must know that the officialdom is a senior official who crushes people to death, and the prefect is a fourth-grade official. The governor of Zhejiang Province is a dignified and second-class officer, who is in charge of the important military and civil affairs of Zhejiang Province, and is directly under the orders of the emperor's central committee. Zhao Qulei can not be afraid of fear, the affairs of the whole province can be decided by him, not to mention a Hangzhou mansion!
"Your Excellency the Governor is busy with official business, so he has not come to Hangzhou to disturb him. This time, the governor's daughter came to Hangzhou to visit the lake, and happened to encounter this incident, so he came to the court to testify. ”
Listening to the words between the lines, eight or nine are not far from ten, it is for Xingge to testify, otherwise how could it be stopped when Xingge is punished.
Hearing what it meant, Zhao Heng, who was full of pride, suddenly felt that something was wrong, his expression was nervous, and he glanced at his uncle Zhao Qulei in fear.
No matter what the situation is, at least there is a life-saving straw, Xingge looked at Zhao Qulei, who turned from happy to worried, and couldn't help but purse his lips happily, thinking to himself How do you feel now.
"Huh? General, do you mean that the governor's daughter has come to Hangzhou? Zhao Qulei, who was instantly panicked, asked and looked around.
"Miss, please."
A coral glass skirt, pink peach hairpin, long hair and fragrant shoulders; fair and pink skin, looking down and generous; The elegant steps, dignified and decent ladies slowly walked into the public hall under the attention of everyone.
When Xingge half-knelt and looked back at the person, he was instantly dumbfounded, of course he was dumbfounded. "Isn't that the beautiful woman I saw by chance on the day I first came to Hangzhou? It turned out that she was the daughter of the governor of Zhejiang Province, no wonder she was born so beautiful and moving, and she deserved to be a famous lady. ”
"Ding Dan has seen the prefect, and he took the liberty to go to the court to disturb the prefect Zhao's case, and I hope that the lord will forgive me."
This is the daughter of the governor, who is so calm and courteous, and the people who are watching are all praised.
"Miss is polite, the lower officials don't know that Miss Ding is coming to Benzhou, and she is not welcome. Come on, let's take a seat for Miss Ding. ”
"Thank you, Lord Zhao, Xiaolan, take out my offering paper."
"Yes, miss."
"Lord Zhao, this is what I saw and heard when I passed through Hangcai Lane, and I wrote it all down. Tang Fang, who had just left the court, had also confessed that he was instructed by Zhao Heng to frame the defendant Xingge, and asked Lord Zhao to learn from it. ”
After speaking, Xiaolan helped Ding Dan to sit on the side of the court and listened to the next interrogation.
took the paper and looked at it carefully, and then faced his nephew, Zhao Qulei didn't know what to do. In fact, there is no need to confirm it to show him, Zhao Qulei himself understands that his nephew usually dominates the market, and he is deaf to him, and he knows that it must be his nephew who did it without checking. But on one side is the governor's daughter, which means whether the black gauze hat is still there; One side is his nephew, his brother's flesh and blood, no matter how his own family.
In order to find himself under the stairs first, the treacherous Zhao Qulei wanted to deal with it so that he could slow down the trial of the case. "Pass Tang Fang again!"
With the presence of the governor's daughter, the timid and fearful Tang Fang finally mustered up the courage to restate the truth that Xingge had been wronged and had given false testimony in the court. "Ding...... Miss Ding, I am the plaintiff, and I am the victim. Uncle, uncle, I was wronged. Tang Fang, you actually slandered me, you didn't say that just now. Miss Ding, uncle, I didn't coerce him, he must have accepted someone's favor to change his confession. Zhao Heng humbly complained about it.
"Listen to what you mean, is it Miss Ben who gave him Tang Fang benefits? I don't know this son, so why risk my father's reputation. Even if the crime of this confession is a high-ranking official, it is difficult to protect the black yarn hat from the end of the court and the Qing Dynasty. I'm a woman, how can I make such a joke? ”
I can't imagine that the gentle and elegant ladies are beautiful, and there are also women who don't let their eyebrows shave and speak bluntly.
"Hmph, Zhao Heng! By the way, there is also your prefect Zhao Qulei, in fact, this general was ordered by the governor to come to Hangzhou to carry out two things. The first is to accompany the young lady to the safety parade, and the second is to investigate the crimes of your Zhao Governor's Mansion for embezzlement and bribery, oppression of the people, and connivance of his nephew Zhao Heng to dominate one side. Don't think that you can do whatever you want in Hangzhou, cover the sky with one hand, someone has already gone to the Governor's Mansion to denounce you. In order to help the young lady's morale, the general walked to the central steps of the public hall with his head held high and reprimanded Zhao Qulei and Zhao Heng.
The wind direction turned 180 degrees, which made Zhao Qulei difficult to deal with, Xingge could only listen to their "dialogue" as a melon-eating crowd, feeling like living in a play.
"General, general, how dare the general, please believe the villain." Zhao Qulei fell to his knees when he heard this, and tried his best to plead.
"Okay, you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. The people of Hangzhou City were supposed to be ordered by the governor of Zhejiang Province to inspect the local civil affairs and military affairs of the state capital. If you have any suffering, just say it, don't be afraid, here are the generals and the governor's daughter to make decisions for everyone. ”
Seeing that there is a more powerful master, the key is that the daughter of the dignified governor will come to the court in person. Look at! The dog official Zhao Governor and the landlord Zhao Heng knelt on the ground in fright, and the onlookers of Hangzhou Mansion were a little bold to stand up and point out the evidence of the Zhao family's crimes.
"Dog officer, Zhao Qulei! You don't have to die well! We've had enough, Miss Ding, General, please be the master for the people of Hangzhou! Immediately afterward, there were bursts of crusades and cries outside the hall.
Later, what was even more amazing was that the subordinates under the Zhao Governor's Mansion also joined the condemnation army. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Qulei broke out in a cold sweat with fear, and kowtowed tremblingly and begged for mercy.
"Governor Zhao, what else do you have to say?" The general asked.
"General, general, the subordinate is guilty, please spare the general's life. The lower officials must change their former ways and become a new person, so I will resign from the government to serve the people to atone for my sins. Zhao Qulei knew that the crime was inevitable, so he had to plead guilty in order to reduce his punishment.
"Hehe, don't work so hard, Lord Zhao. The resignation procedure is too troublesome, and you will be directly escorted to the provincial governor's hall for trial. Come on, execute it immediately! The general asked Miss Ding again: "Miss, is it okay for Zhao Qulei to arrange it like this?" ”
"Yes, yes. The trial and punishment of the prefect of a state is related to the official system and law of the imperial court, and it is inconvenient for me to intervene. General Li, it's better for you to leave it to your father to deal with. ”
"Yes, the Admiral understands!"
When it was Zhao Heng's turn, Ding Dan got up and walked to the steps to stand facing the original defendant in the hall.
"Zhao Heng, do you plead guilty, or do you have any grievances to appeal? Miss Ben can make decisions for you, as long as you are justified and have real evidence. ”
"I, I...... I plead guilty, the little ones are old, and the little ones are small, please Miss open the net and let it fall lightly, right? The little ones must reform themselves and no longer do anything wrong, so I will donate money and food to support the families of the poor people. At this time, Zhao Heng's incoherent speech was completely collapsed.
I didn't expect that the tyrant of this fish and meat place would also have today, looking at Zhao Heng's cowardly appearance, the onlookers in Hangzhou City didn't know how happy it was.
