The most lively place in the whole of Kyoto is the first time to shine on Sanri Street, on the contrary, the coldest business is the small inn opposite the first time to be the first to be the first to shine.

Sanli Street, in front of the Ke'an Gate.

Liu Changhuan jumped out of the car and said, "Little master, it's here." ”

Anwar pulled the curtain, jumped out of the carriage, looked at the small inn with two big characters on the door plaque in front of him, and then turned around to look at the opposite side, but it was crowded with people, very lively, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Changhuan, you said that you are in the same territory, or door-to-door, why is the business so different?" ”

Liu Changhuan said: "Little young master doesn't know, the reason why this small inn Ke'an has been cold for many years is because most people in Kyoto don't need to live in it. ”

"Why is that?"

"Little master, the reason why Ke'an's business has been cold for many years is because it has never been used for commercial purposes, and is only provided for homeless people such as widows, fathers, and mothers." Liu Changhuan's tone was gentle and respectful, and he spoke slowly in a low voice.

For a moment, Anwar's face turned pale, and he pointed at Liu Changhuan's nose and said angrily: "Liu Changhuan, what do you mean?" ”

"Little young master forgive sins, the sky is getting dark, only the first Fanghua and Ke'an are the closest to Anfu on Sanli Street, and the little young master does not want to enter the first Fanghua, Ke'an is the most suitable place."

"Young Master Ben's parents are still alive, and he doesn't even have a favorite woman, how did he lose his father and mother? Widowed? Are you cursing this young master? ”

was glared at by Anwar, Liu Changhuan's heart tightened.

Liu Changhuan hurriedly said: "Little master, Changhuan didn't mean that. ”

"Then what do you mean by sending Young Master Ben here?"

"Little master, don't be impatient, Ke'an was built in the year you left Kyoto, Ke'an is divided into the front yard and the backyard, but the bereaved live in the front yard to hide people's eyes and ears, and the backyard is not for ordinary people to live."

Liu Changhuan took Anwar to the front yard, and the first thing that caught his eye was a few sobbing women with cloaks, and then walked inside, he saw a few old men in ragged clothes, Anwar frowned, and said: "Changhuan, how can there be such a place in Kyoto?" ”

"Little master, Chang Huan doesn't know why there is, Chang Huan only knows that guests can live in guests, and the inner courtyard is not ordinary people can live."

"Is it true that people who are not ordinary people can live, and people who have no money cannot live?"

Without waiting for Liu Changhuan to answer, the innkeeper walked out of the backyard and said, "Do you two want housing?" ”

"It's my little master who wants housing."

The innkeeper said: "Ke'an backyard housing, fifty taels of silver a night." ”

"Fifty taels?" Anwar was surprised, "You're a robbery?" ”

"This guest officer, Ke'an has always had this rule in the backyard, don't come if you don't have fifty taels, the two of you go slowly."

Anwar said: "What kind of place is this, shouting such a high price." ”

Anwar took out the money bag from his waist and said while counting the silver: "Changhuan, do you have any silver?" ”

Liu Changhuan touched his clothes and said, "Back to the little master, Changhuan didn't bring any silver." ”

The shopkeeper's face sank, and he said angrily: "I don't have money and still want to stay in the inn? Get out of here. ”

In the blink of an eye, Anwar and Liu Changhuan were blasted out of the Ke'an gate.

Anwar was dissatisfied: "What a bad place, business is so bleak, I am embarrassed to shout fifty taels of silver and then bombard the guests away." ”

As soon as the words fell, a plain-clothed woman suddenly ran forward, hugged Anwar's thigh, and cried: "Childe, please save me!" ”

This sudden cry frightened Anwar to the core, and Anwar looked down and saw a woman in white with a scar on the right side of her face and a dark red strangulation mark on her neck.

Anwar was shocked: Ghosts?

Anwar asked, "Girl, what happened to you?" ”

The plain-clothed woman cried and trembled: "I was deliberately murdered by my husband and his concubine, if I hadn't escaped quickly, I'm afraid I would have gone to Huangquan long ago." ”

After saying that, the plain-clothed woman grabbed Anwar's sleeve and cried: "Childe, please help me, please save my child." ”

"Child?"

Anwar shifted his gaze to the plain woman's abdomen, although there was no obvious bulge, and when he heard the desolate woman say that she was pregnant, he also believed it, and said, "How can you be so sad to have a child, you get up first." ”

Anwar gently helped her up and asked, "What happened here?" Can you come along? ”

The woman nodded, choked and said: "I was originally the personal maid of the eldest lady of Qingzhou Fengfu, the lord of Hua Xin asked his personal guard Chen Pingsheng to marry me, and also gave us a mansion, but in the two years of marrying my husband, I was beaten by my husband every day, and I was forced to have an abortion when I was pregnant with a fetus, and my husband and his concubine deliberately murdered me, and the injuries on my body were all harmed by the two of them, and now they have to put me to death, please ask my son to save me, okay?" Even if it's not for me, it's for the unborn child in my womb. ”

Liu Changhuan frowned, stepped forward and asked, "In that case, why don't you go to the trial court to report the case?" ”

"This son, I also want to report the case, but the trial court has long since declined, and there are only a few guards guarding the trial court inside, where else can I go to redress my grievances."

Anwar subconsciously touched the dean's token on his waist, and said secretly in his heart: This woman is really pitiful, now that the token is in my hand, I have the responsibility to revive the declining trial court, but this son really doesn't want to be the dean.

But the woman's hand grabbing her sleeve became harder and harder, trembling while grabbing it, and said: "Lianlian has no relatives in Kyoto, and she has no way out, so she begs her son to save Lianlian, otherwise Lianlian has only one way to die."

Anwar raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Ripples?"

"Yes, Lianlian."

"Which ripple?"

"Both words are lotus flowers."

Anwar secretly said in his heart: This lotus scared me so much that I almost thought that something had happened to Lianlian.

Seeing that this woman was very pitiful, Anwar couldn't help but feel compassion, pondered for a long time, and then sighed and said: "Changhuan, I can't go back to Anfu tonight, and there is no other place to live, and this woman has nowhere to live, so let's go to the yamen of the trial court." ”

"Little master, are you willing to take office?" Liu Changhuan was surprised.

"The trial court has fallen, this woman has nowhere to redress her grievances, and now she begs me to save her, if she doesn't take office, I'm afraid I won't be able to try this case, and it may be providence to take office."

Liu Changhuan agreed, sent the plain-clothed woman to the carriage, Anwar sat next to Liu Changhuan, and the three of them went to the trial court together.

Although the trial court was in decline, two guards could still be seen at the door, and when Anwar got out of the carriage, he was stopped by the guards drawing their knives.

"Who?" Guarding the Road.

Anwar took off the dean's token from his waist, and when he saw the token clearly, several guards at the door knelt on the ground.

"How many people are in the court today?" Anwar Road.

"Back to the dean, President Wang of the Criminal Court is deceased, and there are only three prison guards and two gate guards at present."

"There are only five people in the huge court? Why didn't the emperor send some people over? ”

"Back to the dean, the emperor once said that if the new dean takes office, he will send a group of people over."

The guard continued: "If the dean plans to take office today, I need to go to the palace to report to the emperor, and the emperor will send someone here." ”

Anwar remembered Liu Changgong, the secretary who went to Anfu to arrest him nine years ago, and said, "Is Lord Liu Changgong here?" ”

"Back to the Dean, Lord Tiji is deceased."

"What? Why did you die? ”

"Back to the dean's words, as early as nine years ago, Liu Changgong Tisi was executed for taking the initiative to get involved in the impeachment of President Wang."

Anwar frowned and said, "Go to the palace and report to the emperor about the new dean's appointment." ”

The two guards clenched their fists in agreement, and one of them retreated, and hurried to the palace.
