Chapter 382: Take sides
It was still the beggar who was as thin as a monkey, and he boldly raised his head and glanced at Jing Zhaoyin.
He is a lively-minded person, and when others talk about him, they all say that he is a monkey spirit and a monkey spirit - in fact, this time these beggars came to the yamen to sue those poor people, and he instigated it.
Anyway, it's going to die, so it's better to go out and make a fuss before you die!
Anyway, it's not noisy, it's nothing; If you make a scene, you might win!
This thought grew stronger in his heart after his companion was accidentally crushed to death by a coffin board yesterday.
Seeing that Jing Zhaoyin did not have a clear attitude towards those poor people, the thin monkey beggar also had a little bit of a plan in his heart, he straightened his body slightly, made himself look as straightforward as possible, and said, "That poor brother, look at what you said." Yizhuang was originally built by the government for the dignity of people after death, but it did not prohibit the living from entering? Otherwise, what are the family members who visit? Besides, can't we living people compare to corpses?! The corpse of Yizhuang can lie down, we living people borrow an eaves to block the wind and snow in it, what's wrong, you ruthlessly drive us out, just let us die! ”
The thin monkey glanced at Jing Zhaoyin quickly, and saw that Jing Zhaoyin's eyes showed a little satisfaction with him, and his heart was pounding, knowing that maybe this time they had taken a shit luck and met an official who was willing to help them - no matter what he was willing to help them for, in short, the current situation was beneficial to them!
The thin monkey was a little bolder, and he stiffened his neck and shouted out the purpose of their fuss: "Don't think I don't know! A few days ago, you took money from others and drove us out of Yizhuang! That money! You have to hand it over as compensation! ”
"That's right! Money! ”
"Your nephew was killed by you! He didn't survive the night before and froze to death! Money! ”
"My son ...... too"
"Lose money!"
A few beggars coaxed.
Jing Zhaoyin was a little dizzy when he heard it, why did he suddenly get involved in the silver again?
What took someone else's money?
Jing Zhaoyin slapped the wood again.
"Bold!" Jing Zhaoyin looked angry and glared at the poor people, "Did you take bribes from others in an attempt to kill these beggars?!" ”
The corruption and bribery of petty officials is simply a merit sent to the door......
Jing Zhaoyin pondered in his heart, maybe when he completed the three-year assessment, he could accompany this matter and move up again.
A few poor people didn't expect that these beggars were so troublesome, and it was actually for that money.
The messengers looked at each other, and none of them would withdraw the money they had eaten in their stomachs.
But Jing Zhaoyin looked like he was going to put a hat on them......
The messenger at the head gritted his teeth, kowtowed, and his voice was much more respectful: "If you return to your lordship, it's not a bribe...... On that day, a woman brought a coffin, saying that her son had died at a young age, and that she had something to do with the beggar because of his death, and that the beggar would disturb her son's eternal rest...... She gave us a silver ticket to keep an eye on her son's body......"
Jing Zhaoyin frowned slightly, a little disappointed.
If that's the case, it's really not much corruption.
However, the child who died because of the beggar...... Why did he feel a little familiar......
Jing Zhaoyin's back was cold, and he suddenly remembered something.
A few days ago, the Pingguo Mansion sent two beggar boys, saying that the two beggars had stripped off a child's clothes under the ice and snow, causing the child to freeze to death, and asked Jing Zhaoyin to give the two beggars some "color" to see......
Could it be that this incident has something to do with the Pingguo Mansion? !
Jing Zhaoyin only felt a cold sweat trickling down his back.
He just wanted to make some qualifications and merits, and he didn't dare to use the affairs of the Pingguo Mansion to earn qualifications.
Jing Zhaoyin looked at the kneeling beggars in the hall at this time, and then looked at the poor people, and both sides were looking at him very eagerly. He just found it tricky.
However, at this time, the master came over and whispered a few words in Jing Zhaoyin's ear, Jing Zhaoyin's expression changed, and he got up excitedly.
Everyone in the hall looked at Jing Zhaoyin in astonishment.
Jing Zhaoyin coughed and patted the shocked wood: "The evidence in this case is insufficient, and this official needs time to collect evidence - temporarily withdraw from the court first, and retry it at another date!" ”
Several poor people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and a little smile appeared on their faces.
Those beggars were not so relaxed, and they were all shocked.
Choosing a date? How many days later? Whether they will be alive by then is still a question!
The beggars began to cry again, and they all kowtowed.
"Lord Qingtian, we have nowhere to go, if we choose a day, we might as well freeze to death outside the yamen!"
"That's it, Lord Qingtian, it's still snowing outside, and we're already half frozen to death when we come over to beat the drum and sound our grievances...... If you go out, you will definitely freeze to death before you return to the ruined temple outside the city. ”
"It's better to die directly in this yamen!"
The beggars cried louder and louder, and the scene became more and more chaotic.
Jing Zhaoyin frowned: "Nonsense! ”
He even sacrificed his life to sprinkle it!
However, Jing Zhaoyin really didn't dare to let these beggars make a murder on top of the mansion.
You know, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven!
A little wind and grass, as long as it reaches the ears of the saint, then this black gauze hat on his head may be taken off!
Jing Zhaoyin was very irritable.
At this time, the master whispered: "Your Excellency, it is better to go to the Yanai and talk to that adult first, let these people wait in the hall for the time being, and stabilize them first......"
Even the master can see that those beggars are like outlaws who are out of the way and making trouble without regard for their lives.
They can not want to die, Jing Zhaoyin can't want the future.
So far, that's all it has to be.
Jing Zhaoyin had no choice but to pat the shocked wood again: "Quiet! Wait in the hall for the time being, the official has something important to do, and he will come when he goes! ”
He thought about it, and was afraid that those beggars would freeze to death in the hall, so he ordered the officials to build a few braziers under the hall and let some ginger soup be boiled on the stove and sent over.
After arranging all this, Jing Zhaoyin hurriedly went to Yanei.
In recent days, the court has been very turbulent, and rumors about the prince's immorality are rampant, Jing Zhaoyin is a neutral faction and doesn't dare to stand in line, but seeing that the prince has lost power, he wonders if he should focus on it appropriately.
However, Jing Zhaoyin naturally didn't have the courage to stand on the opposite side of the prince.
He just wants to give his political career more security.
Therefore, the best choice is to befriend a powerful person who has a lot of weight in the court, but also has no inclination and does not take sides.
Jing Zhaoyin chose Ruiwang.
As we all know, King Rui is a wealthy idler with little city, but because he is one of the few remaining brothers of the current saint, his status in the current court is extraordinary.
Jing Zhaoyin chose King Rui, but he just wanted to get closer to the powerful and not provoke any taboos.
After all, King Rui never paid attention to the government.
It's just that King Rui doesn't care about the government, so naturally he won't form a party for personal gain. Jing Zhaoyin has been trying to secretly show favor to King Rui for some time, but the other party has not responded.
Just when Jing Zhaoyin was a little discouraged, the master came over just now to whisper, saying that the prince of Rui Wang was passing by the mansion, and remembered that the scenery of Jing Zhaoyin's mansion was good, especially the snow scene was a good one, so I came to enjoy it.
Jing Zhaoyin, who was shocked by this news, couldn't wait to give birth to two wings and fly to the back house to accompany the prince of Rui.
When Jing Zhaoyin hurried to the back house, the prince of Rui Wang was drinking in the pavilion and enjoying the scenery.
Jing Zhaoyin hurriedly saluted the prince of Rui.
The prince of Rui Wang is a handsome young man, gentle and polite in life, and there is a hint of scholarly elegance between his eyebrows and eyes.
He pointed to the snow scene outside the pavilion and said with a smile: "The snow scene on Lord Li's mansion is really refreshing. ”
Jing Zhao Yin laughed again and again, and said that he had won awards.
The two sat down and chatted for a while, chatting about the world, but they didn't talk about anything related to the imperial court.
This made Jing Zhaoyin's heart even more scoreful.
Being friendly with this kind of idle palace that does not interfere in the government does make him more reassuring.
The two were talking, and Jing Zhaoyin casually talked about the case in the lobby.
Prince Rui smiled slightly: "It's just a small case, why are adults so worried." ”
When the wine reached the third round, Jing Zhaoyin was also a little upset, he smiled bitterly, and probably told the prince of Rui about the matter, and even those who might have something behind it also revealed a few points to King Rui.
Rui Wang Shizi thought thoughtfully: "Lord Li said about the Pingguo Mansion, I think about it, a few days ago, Cousin Yujing complained to me about the Second Lady An of the Pingguo Mansion. ”
The "cousin Yujing" in the mouth of King Rui is naturally Her Royal Highness Princess Yujing.
When Jing Zhaoyin heard that this involved the secrets of the powerful, he couldn't help but prick up his ears.
The prince of Rui Wang felt something, and shook his head with a smile: "...... Behind his back, he said that people are right and wrong, not what a gentleman does. ”
Jing Zhaoyin's intuition was unusual, and he was careful with him, so he got this sentence, "Second Mrs. An has an incident recently, and she didn't give Cousin Yujing face, and Cousin Yujing is looking for an opportunity to vent her anger."
With just this sentence, Jing Zhaoyin suddenly felt a little clear-headed.
It turned out that the Pingguo Mansion had offended the royal nobles!
So, it's not that this case can't be used as an article......
Jing Zhaoyin had a thought in his heart, and he was still talking and laughing and chatting with the prince of Rui on his face.
Both of them no longer talked about Princess Tongyujing in the Pingguo Mansion, as if that topic had never been touched upon.
It's just that after Jing Zhaoyin sent away the prince of Ruiwang, the first thing he did was to go straight to the prison cell, and brought out the two little beggars sent by the Pingguo Mansion from the prison for some interrogation!
After the trial, Jing Zhaoyin had some general plans in his heart.
He smiled.
Princess Yujing......
Compared with the prince of Rui, Princess Yujing seems to be more worthy of his help.
