Jingzhao Yin Mansion.

Gong Yu stood quietly in place, her eyes were still silent, as if a slight fine snow had melted down, only reflecting the jade hook in Li Muzhen's hand that was still broken.

"Rongli County Li sues for injustice." Feng Lichuan said in a low voice.

The piece of blood slipped down from Li Muzhen's sleeve and spread out, it was three feet long, and the blood words on the plain white silk silk seemed to be red plums falling in the snow, which was shocking.

"Master Xie." Li Muzhen leaned over and kowtowed. She was silent for a moment, her face as white as paper. After a long time, he spoke: "Seven years ago, the husband of the people's wife, Wang Qingyan, was transferred from Suzhou to Li County, as the county commander of Li County. ”

Feng Lichuan said: "Lord Wang's political achievements are outstanding, the people call it, and the official has also heard of it. Speaking of this, there was a sigh in his eyes.

Wang Qingyan is undoubtedly a good official, seven years ago, when he transferred from Yunchuan Tangxi to Li County, the people of Tangxi gave each other an umbrella as a gift, and outside Tangxi, dozens of miles, were accompanied by the people. Such a grand occasion can be described as a rare sight. After he was transferred to Lixian County, the people of Lixian County also wrote many times to express their feelings, praising him as an official.

"The woman thanked her husband for her praise." Li Muzhen lowered her head and looked at her cuffs, her lips were lined with the bright jade hook, and she could only hear her say softly: "The woman wants to sue Zhao Hong, the county magistrate of Li County." First, he coveted my husband's position as the county magistrate and killed my husband with poison. Second, he coveted the beauty of Lang Huan, the daughter of a people's woman, and raped Lang Huan. Third, the bandit rebellion in Li County was done by Zhao Hong, and he used the bandit rebellion as a pretext to destroy the door. ”

Li Muzhen's voice was extremely soft, but her words seemed to be a sharp blade with frost. The scabbed scar behind her veil was reflecting the chill of ice in those eyes!

Feng Lichuan's face was still indifferent, and he turned his head sideways and said to the little official beside him: "Zhao Hong is on the way to Jingzhaoyin's mansion?" ”

The little official was about to answer, but he heard a cold sneer, "Lord Feng, according to this official, this Lord Zhao, I'm afraid I don't have to come." After all, there are flaws in this woman's words and deeds. ”

The person who spoke out was none other than Gongcao and Liu Qingsheng, who joined the army. He sneered: "First, Lord Zhao is a Qingming and virtuous person, dozens of years older than Lang Huan, the queen of the Li family, how can he be that lustful and fierce person? Second, back then, if the official had not been mistaken, Wang Qingyan personally submitted a letter of resignation to His Majesty, and the position of the county order was clearly requested by Wang Qingyan himself to step down. If Zhao Hong wanted to usurp power, how could Wang Qingyan be so willing to give up power? What's more, assuming that, as you said, the bandit rebellion was committed by Zhao Hong, and Wang Qingyan died in this so-called bandit conspiracy, but Wang Qingyan had already resigned at that time, so why did Zhao Hong bother so much and do more? ”

For the sake of a person who resigned, how stupid is it to spend so much effort to destroy his full door? If there is a trace left, it is enough to kill the head, and even punish the nine clans.

"What Lord Liu said is that even after seven years, the women have not been able to understand what Lord Zhao Hong thinks." Li Muzhen was surprisingly calm when she heard this, and there was a strange compassion in her eyes, "But Lord Liu, do you know why my husband asked for his resignation in the first place?" ”

"What does this have to do with your grievances?" Liu Qingsheng said coldly.

"'The son of the family is critically ill, and I hope that Your Majesty will allow the minister to take care of the only son of the minister at home. The minister has the emperor's grace, and he will not be blamed for his death. Li Muzhen said word by word, "This is what the husband of the people's wife said in his resignation letter." After all, no one expected that this resignation letter was written by Zhao Hong's husband who watched the people's wife with his own eyes. Seven years ago, Zhao Hong ordered a guard to dance a sword at the banquet on the grounds of inviting the county order, and the sword was against the neck of my son Wang Xuzhou. ”

"If it is really as you said about the Hongmen Banquet, then why don't the guards dance the sword directly at Wang Qingyan, but for the purpose of his son?" A trace of contempt flashed in Liu Qingsheng's eyes.

Gong Yu sighed a little with a sigh on his face, people have weaknesses, and Zhao Hong saw this very clearly. If the sword was against Wang Qingyan's neck, Wang Qingyan would be firm and arrogant, and would never compromise on this, and even break the net. But if you use your son as a threat, it is easy to ask him to compromise.

Liu Qingsheng has been an official for many years, and it is impossible not to understand this principle. But the reason in this undercurrent of the court cannot be discussed in the open after all. Liu Qingsheng is suppressing Li Muzhen on the grounds of officials.

But this is the principle of the official, and it cannot be reversed. With so much power, there will be no less constraints.

Gong Yu smiled, the hat covered her eyes that were thin and cold from beginning to end, and she said: "Lord Zhao Hong has not yet come to Jingzhaoyin to confront the Li family, but Lord Liu seems to be sure that what the Li family said is true, and he questioned it everywhere. ”

If official affairs are touched by personal feelings, officials are afraid to avoid it. After all, what His Majesty is most afraid of today is that the way of being an official is biased, not to mention, this is a criminal land, Jingzhao Yin Mansion.

When Liu Qingsheng heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly, "Presumptuous, a mere grass man dares to interfere in the trial of an unjust case in Jingzhao Yin Mansion, come here, take this person down!" ”

"In the past, there was Emperor Jiawen, who set up a drum to sound grievances, and the unjust cases have not been reduced, but no one has beaten the drum for several years. During a private visit to Weifu, I realized that it was not that the people were unwilling to beat the drum to voice their grievances, but that they did not dare to disobey the officials and beat the drum. Then the edict, the drum must be widely accepted, if there is a person who knows the grievance, you can come forward to complain, in this, by the emperors of the past dynasties to this day. Isn't it, Lord Liu has forgotten this will? Gong Yu was still smiling slightly, and she said slowly: "Or, Lord Liu thinks that it is just a will, and Your Majesty doesn't know it, so you can do it at will?" ”

Jiang Ziyu's question can be said to be quite profound, if he forgets his will, he is disrespectful to His Majesty, and if he does it casually, he is contemptuous of imperial power and disloyal and unjust. Feng Lichuan pondered for a moment, but heard Gong Yu say in a low voice: "What's more, before Lord Jing Zhaoyin spoke, Lord Liu wanted to send someone to escort the grass people down, I don't know if this can be the crime of trespass you mentioned?" ”

Jiang Ziyu has already seen through the disagreement between the people of Jingzhao Yin Mansion. Feng Lichuan sighed in his heart.

Liu Qingsheng stared at Gong Yu, the hands under his sleeves were already bruised, but he forced it down, and said with a reluctant smile: "This official just thinks that this injustice is quite strange." ”

Gong Yu was still smiling slightly, her eyes fell heavily on the Nanyue jade hook, and those eyes were unfathomable under the black veil of the hat, an unreachable abyss.

It can't be pulled at once, and it moves the whole body.

She's waiting, too.
