Chapter 239: Human Lives Matter
"Uncle Sun!"
Wu Ming lifted the curtain and waved his hand to stop Sun Shanwu's scolding, and swept his brows slightly furrowed towards the people who knelt in front of the carriage.
"Little prince, Lord Qingtian, please call the shots for my son!"
Seeing him come forward, an old woman with a cloak and a face full of vicissitudes shouted again and again, and came close with her hands and feet.
Sun Shanwu hesitated again and again, and for safety reasons, he still dutifully blocked in front of Wu Ming.
Even if he observed with his divine sense, the old woman was an ordinary person, but it was difficult to guarantee that even if she was a martial artist of the same level, if she had special exercises in cultivation, she might be able to hide it from him.
Wu Ming was not afraid to go straight out of the carriage, he was protected by a dragon robe, and if there was danger, he would definitely warn him in advance.
Moreover, it is really against his morality to let a person whose age is his grandmother's generation kneel in front of him!
"Old sister, have something to say!"
Before he could step forward, Wu Fu had already stepped out of the car and helped the old woman.
It is also out of the same concerns as Sun Shanwu, after all, the strong grandmaster is not omnipotent, and Wu Ming's enemies are really not few.
Now, even the great grandmaster and powerhouse of the Xuanlei Sect are secretly stumbling regardless of their face, and they can't make sure that someone uses assassins as an indiscriminate means!
Unlike Sun Shanwu, while supporting the old woman, Wu Fu clasped the other party's wrist vein with his right hand without a trace, and probed into it with his own true qi to detect whether she was a strong person with hidden cultivation!
"Please ask the little prince to be the master of the people's wife and avenge my son, if you don't agree, the people's wife will not be able to kneel for a long time!"
The old woman stubbornly pushed Wu Fu away, kowtowed, and the old tears were all over the place.
But the family members behind him also showed sadness, and there was a young woman wearing linen and filial piety, with a sad and pale face, holding a three- or four-year-old child, crying silently.
The young boy with pink carvings stared at the big eyes full of innocence, as if he didn't know what was going on, but he was a little afraid of the adults' reactions, except for a curious glance at Wu Ming, and then buried his head in the young woman's arms.
"Little master, something is wrong, and now it is an eventful time, so we can't set this precedent!"
Although Wu Fu could forcibly pick up the old woman with his true qi, he didn't do it, and gave Wu Ming a vague look, and said.
His concerns are not untargeted, nor is he indifferent by nature, but Wu Ming himself has a lot of troubles, and he is at the most critical bottleneck of the first step of martial arts.
"Grandma, you get up and talk first, if you don't get up, I can only inform the government, after all, the yamen is the place to deal with the case, even if I want to help you, it is not in line with the national law!"
When Wu Ming heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said with a pleasant face.
"The little prince is gracious, and the women will get up!"
When the old woman heard this, her expression that was still a little frightened suddenly relaxed, and she staggered up with a worried face, but she still didn't dare to look at Wu Ming.
This is also reasonable, after all, a small common man dares to stop the frame of the prince of the palace, which is already considered to be out of the way.
If it weren't for Wu Ming's extremely high reputation among the people, he wouldn't dare to do so with a hundred dares!
Seeing her get up, the rest of the family looked at each other and got up.
"Grandma, this is not the place to talk, let's go to the tea shop in front and talk about it!"
Wu Ming smiled, stretched out his hand to help, and pointed to the tea shop not far away.
"No, no, it's right here!"
The old woman waved her hand again and again, although she was a little uneasy, but she was extremely determined.
"Okay, just say it right here!"
Wu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced around without a trace.
With his eyesight, he could see that the old woman wanted to speak out in public, so that he would feel pressured.
This method has been used many times to deal with the imperial court, and he is extremely familiar with it, but what makes him quite curious is how dare an old woman come to stop his frame, and how can she use this method to force him to comply?
Although the incident happened suddenly, this street is the main road leading to the Zhenwu Martial Arts Hall, which not only has a large flow of people, but also drives the shops to be quite prosperous.
In just such a short time, there were many ordinary people who watched the excitement, and there were many people surrounded by the three layers inside and the outside three floors, all pointing and whispering.
Among them, there are many people, who seem to know the old woman's family, and their words reveal a lot of useful information, some of them are regretful, some are indignant, and some are cold.
Wu Ming's ears are bright and his mind is quick, even if the information is disorganized, he can analyze a few useful pieces of information in an instant, and still listen carefully to the old woman's expression.
"Thank you for your generosity and understanding, the woman is Lao Huaixiang Liu Zhang, my son ......"
Seeing that he was approachable and had no lofty stands, the old woman looked grateful and spoke eloquently.
It turned out that his son was a student of the True Martial Arts Academy, although he was not an official student, but he was also named.
On weekdays, in addition to serving as a nurse in the house of Zhao Yunlai's servant in the Ministry of Rites, he practiced martial arts in the martial arts hall, but a few days ago, his son died suddenly, on the grounds of fornication with the maid of the main family.
Not only that, but also stole the property of the master's family, and after being discovered, not only did he not repent, but he became ferocious, and took the young son of the master's family to flee, and was killed on the spot by the master of Zhao Shilang's family!
Of course, this is what the official proclamation of the Yamen says.
As the saying goes, knowing the son is Mo Ruomu!
The old woman was well aware of her son's temperament, and was extremely suspicious of this, so she did not hesitate to sue the official as a commoner, but the Yin of the Yamen Mansion expelled her from the hall on the grounds that the evidence of the crime was conclusive, and said that she would not be exonerated because she was old and ignorant!
"Everyone says that the little prince is righteous and thin, but it is the conscience of the Great Song Dynasty, and he thinks about our people everywhere, if you don't care, the old woman will have nowhere to reason, I am just this one son, if I can't avenge him, what's the point of living?"
After the old woman finished speaking, she burst into tears, and everyone who heard it had relatives!
"The little prince will be kind to help the old Sister Zhang, come to Shun, I watched the child grow up, honestly, and there has been no bad problem since he was a child. ”
"Yes, yes, Laishun works on weekdays, never spends the night outside, and the wages are all handed over to the old lady, how can such a person commit adultery with others and steal finances?"
"I know Brother Laishun, he is righteous, every time he pulls him to drink, I can't let my wife and children worry at home, saying that he is adulterous and stealing, I don't believe it!"
There were neighbors who knew the old woman around, and they all wrote righteous words.
It can be seen that this family has a good reputation in this generation, otherwise there would not be so many people to help speak!
"I beg the little prince to call the shots, my son-in-law is an honest man, and he will never do such a traitorous thing!"
Seeing that everyone was supporting the old woman, an old man also squeezed up and cried.
Behind him, the eldest brother and brother-in-law who didn't know it was the bitter master, Hula and a group of relatives, all crying and shouting for Wu Ming to be the master.
With so many people so close, Sun Shanwu and the other two Chang followed, neither stopped nor did they stop, and the scene was deadlocked.
After all, no one can guarantee that there are no disguised assassins inside, just in case!
"It's hard!"
Faced with such a situation, he was as shrewd as Wu Ming, and he also felt quite tricky, after all, he was not a person in charge of the yamen.
Even if it is, there are still many processes to go through!
What's more, since the incident of coercing public opinion and almost setting off a popular uprising to brush up his reputation, the relationship between the yamen, the criminal department, and the patrol room is not very harmonious.
I'm afraid that this is one of the side effects of unscrupulous prestige, and the current situation is naturally a manifestation of the side effects!
If it weren't for his high prestige, the old woman's family wouldn't have found him!
It's just that he still feels a little unusual, but he can't see what is wrong.
After all, judging from his experience, the old woman's true feelings were revealed, and there was no sign of fraud, if this could be concealed from him, he could only admit it!
Wu Fu also felt that it was quite tricky, if it was not handled well, Wu Ming's reputation that he had accumulated with great difficulty would be ruined in a flash.
Originally, I only thought it was a small trouble, but after the old woman shouted an extremely decisive word, it made the strong grandmaster's heart tremble slightly.
"Little prince, you are a nobleman, you are a noble person of all the people in our southern city, you can't be the same as those officials who protect each other, if you can't help the old woman, there will be no reason in this world!"
As she spoke, the old woman fell to her knees.
Where is Wu Fu willing to follow, secretly protecting the old woman with her true qi, but she can't kneel down, and she looks at Wu Ming again and again.
As soon as this remark came out, it was tantamount to putting Wu Ming in a dilemma!
No matter what, if it is not in line with reason, it will not be able to understand human feelings, and its reputation will inevitably be damaged!
"Grandma don't worry, I didn't say I didn't care, it's just that this matter should have been tried by the yamen, and it is inconvenient for me to intervene directly, can you allow me to visit secretly for a while, and then make a decision after I have eyebrows?"
At this point, Wu Ming was very aware of the consequences of refusing in person, and tentatively reassured.
"Little prince, can you be with the mud, my son-in-law died unjustly, even the corpse was beaten up, leaving orphans and widows, and carrying a notoriety, how can they live?"
Without waiting for the old woman to speak, the old man grabbed his voice.
"Yes, what my father-in-law said is that it is enough for the old woman to live to this age, but Qiaoling is still young, and my grandson is young, please give justice to the host!"
The old woman looked at her with some hesitation, but she said firmly.
When the young woman heard this, she wept incessantly, and held the child in her arms, and pleaded with her face.
"Then according to your opinion, how should this son deal with this matter?"
Wu Ming frowned slightly, although his expression was still kind, but there was a hint of majesty in his words to look at the old man.
Don't look at him usually with a pleasant face towards everyone, but once he is serious, even Chai Qing and other masters of artistic conception can't withstand the increasingly heavy pressure of the superior on him, don't say that he is an ordinary person!
"Little Prince...... You are a noble person, if it were not for human life, we and other ordinary people would never dare to disturb such a noble person as you.
Now, who among the people of Nancheng does not know that you are a good person in the world, I implore you to go to the yamen in person, so that those officials and old men will seriously try the case of the old man's son-in-law and give us justice!"
The old man's face was slightly pale, and after his eyes flickered a few times, he said with a stiff neck.
