Chapter 100: Dali Temple

"Thank you for the name, hold the lamp, it's so good." He repeated his new name several times, smiling sweetly, and it seemed that he really liked the name.

"Or Mianmian will take the name, holding the word lamp, which not only avoids the cheesiness of those flowers, but also moves and quiet, although it seems to be an ordinary action, but it has a unique elegance, and it can also be seen that she herself is lively and delicate." Jiang Xinyue casually took Ruan Mianmian's arm and pinched her white fat fingertips casually.

"The county lord should stop praising the county lord of Ruliang, if she praises again, her whole person will fly outside the carriage." Fufeng covered his lips and smiled, and Ruan Mianmian also laughed and fell on Jiang Xinyue's shoulder.

After another quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped, and the driver turned to the carriage and whispered: "Master, Dali Temple has arrived, please get off." Then he stepped aside.

However, Jiang Xinyue came with the pomp of the county lord this time, and she couldn't hide her identity and go in casually like before, and the rules were also to come step by step.

The six palace maids in the simple carriage got off the carriage first, holding various travel utensils and standing on the side, and the coachman took off the boxwood stool for the feet and put it aside, and then the two palace maids stepped forward and lifted the moon shadow gauze curtain hanging on the carriage and asked Jiang Xinyue to come out.

Ruan Mianmian and Fufeng had already put on the same cloak and veil as when they got into the car, Jiang Xinyue also wore a veil as thin as cicada wings and pearls pendantd, her beautiful and heroic face loomed under the veil, and a pair of bright and moving eyes were even more sparkling, making enough posture of the county lord, and the two of them got off the carriage elegantly, and the lantern also followed behind, only bowing her head respectfully holding the travel box, clever but not conspicuous, and did not deliberately pay attention to Ruan Mianmian's side, and knew the current affairs very well.

Jiang Xinyue got out of the car, slowly moved into Dali Temple from the main gate, there were already several officials of Dali Temple waiting respectfully, and when they saw Jiang Xinyue, they immediately knelt down and saluted: "Weichen see the lord of Jingshu." ”

Jiang Xinyue raised her hand to signal them to get up, and then walked straight into the inner courtyard of Dali Temple, through the long corridor into the main hall used for the trial, and the officials also got up and followed.

The main hall is very wide, after all, it is also the faΓ§ade of the imperial court, so the regulations are built according to the highest specifications, the entrance is two people hugging the thick marble pillars, which are densely carved with golden dark patterns The various laws and regulations of this dynasty and this generation, two statues that symbolize the law of justice and law look at everyone who walks in, the princes and nobles are still ordinary people, facing the same terms and the same justice, which is also the best commitment that the court can make.

Looking through the pillar, there is an empty open space, covered with a dark red blue carpet, twenty or thirty small tables on the left and right, and on the middle of the table is a large table covered with red cloth, with all kinds of arrows and arrows, and there is also a small table for people to record next to it, which is a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and a plaque hanging high above the head, which is majestic and magnificent.

Dali Temple is the highest legal organ of the imperial court, the main trial is the capital of the serious case, there are also local can not solve the big case, in addition to the officials and nobles of the children of the crime is also to be tried here, and this hall is the place of public trial.

Since it is open, it is indispensable for all kinds of people and forces from all walks of life to come to watch, and there are often important ministers in the court or royal children who come to supervise important cases, so the officials of Dali Temple are also prepared for Jiang Xinyue's arrival as usual, and there is a small table on the other side of the largest table of the presiding judge, covered with a pale yellow tablecloth, showing the dignity of the seat.

"County Lord, please take a seat." A red-robed official half a step behind Jiang Xinyue smiled on his face, bent down and stretched out his hand to invite her to sit on the pale yellow table.

Jiang Xinyue glanced at the conspicuous position, and then looked at the official's flattering appearance, frowned, and did not move, only said lightly: "No need, although I came to observe the inspector, I will not disturb the order of the trial, everything is according to the rules, I just sit in the auditorium, and remove this table." ”

"Ahh The county lord has a noble identity and an extraordinary character, how can he be crowded together with the people, Weichen is afraid that this is not suitable for the identity of the county lord. The official's face was embarrassed, and he really couldn't think of why he didn't make her happy when he lifted her up like this, could it be that the sycophants were in the wrong place? In the past, he also received the emperor's relatives and nobles, all of them were arranged like this, and those who came were also very satisfied, but they didn't want this Jingshu county lord to be so different, but who made her particularly favored in front of the queen mother and the emperor, and she had to be careful and careful.

"Isn't the column engraved with the Son of Heaven breaking the law and committing the same crime as the common people, why can't I sit with the people when the lord of the county comes, does the lord want to put me in a place of injustice, or do you not approve of the law formulated by His Majesty at all?" Jiang Xinyue went to the first seat on the left side of the auditorium and sat down, Ruan Mianmian and Fu Feng also knelt on the cushion behind her, skillfully put the teacup and teapot in the box on the table in front of her, made a cup of tea, and then held the box to Ruan Mianmian and stood beside him, the six palace maids lined up at the back to guard behind Jiang Xinyue, and the group was orderly, but they ignored the words of this official.

The official had to wipe his sweat and confess again and again: "How dare Weichen, it's just worrying, the royal family has come to Dali Temple in the past to do the same, but since the county lord is happy with the people, then Weichen will call people to remove the table, and remove it immediately." ”

"Oh? Has anyone else used that table? Jiang Xinyue paused with the hand of tea, looked up and asked.

"Returning to the county lord, last year, His Royal Highness the King of Qi came down to guide the work, and he just... That's how it was entertained. ”

"Oh, that's fine." Jiang Xinyue regained her usual expression and lowered her head to continue drinking tea, which made the official confused, and kept thinking about whether she had said something wrong.

Originally, Jiang Xinyue was still puzzled that anyone in the royal family dared to be so blatantly arrogant, you must know that although pale yellow is not much different from bright yellow, as a member of the royal family, you still have to avoid these to avoid collisions, and she has never seen anyone really accept tables and chairs of this color in public. But as soon as he heard that it was King Qi, Jiang Xinyue was relieved, he had such a stupid brain, he was full of joy and anger, and it was not once or twice that he thought of such a thing, and it was not unusual for him to eat the consequences of his own evil now.

"By the way, you are doing a good job, and the county lord doesn't know your official position and name yet."

The official was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately replied: "Xu Feng, the young secretary of Weichen Dali Temple, thanks to the county lord." ”

"Got it, step aside, you did a good job, I will naturally point out to you behind the royal brother and mother, who is the chief judge today?" Jiang Xinyue glanced at him, talking about the scene, but her eyes were cold without a trace of temperature, and then looked at the several officials who followed him, and her eyes fell on a middle-aged official wearing a blue repair uniform.

This Shaoqing of Dali Temple is in an important position, managing the country's largest legal institution, Dali Temple, is actually such a slippery and flattering, unjust and upright temperament, Jiang Xinyue couldn't help but sweat for the emperor and the law and discipline, but as soon as she came in, she noticed that this little official behind Shaoqing seemed to have all the etiquette and no mistakes, but he did not flatter and flatter, he always straightened his waist and looked serious and respectful, which looked much cuter than this Xu Feng.

Xu Feng was still overjoyed by Jingshu's illusory promise, and immediately replied: "Back to the county lord, today's chief judge is named Zhang Zhili, and he is the one behind Weichen." Xu Feng's hand happened to be pointing at the person Jiang Xinyue was looking at.

Jiang Xinyue still nodded lightly, seeing that the conspicuous table had been removed, and then said: "Okay, you can try the case, I am just the people who came to listen today, and I will also call other people in, although the sun is not big, but I can't do it because I missed the time." ”

Ruan Mianmian, who had been pretending to be a maid with his head down in the back, raised his head and looked around, sure enough, in addition to the people brought by Jiang Xinyue and the officials who were waiting, the other people were still waiting outside, this Shaoqing was really smart, but he didn't know that in this way, others would not say that the official authority of Dali Temple was great, but they would accuse Jiang Xinyue of being pampered and arrogant and not caring for the people.

Jiang Xinyue's words also worked, and the officials immediately retreated, leaving only the chief judge Zhang Zhili sitting majestically under the plaque, and another clerk also sat at the small table and prepared paper and pen to prepare the record, and the rest were more than a dozen officials standing on both sides, holding a wooden stick as high as a person in their hands, which was used to maintain order in the public court and beat the prisoners.

There were quite a few people who came to watch the trial, and the first to come was a group of people who looked rich and noble, more than a dozen men and women, all of whom saluted Jiang Xinyue and sat on the opposite table. These people Jiang Xinyue knows, and four of them are the people from the Wei State Mansion who made a big fuss yesterday and embarrassed Ruan Mianmian. It's just that only the prince and his wife and the squire and his wife are present today, and the rest are also young people, and they don't see Mrs. Wei, but the stroke is not a day or two to wake up, and I can't go out and come over in person to support Wei Xunyi.

Although these people are the family members of today's defendants, they still have to salute Jiang Xinyue respectfully, and the rest of the people can't see any expression on their faces, but the lady of the prince still has a temper like artillery, staring at the two eyes and eager to come up and scuffle with Jiang Xinyue, the prince has been grabbing her arm to restrain her.

Jiang Xinyue didn't care, she just nodded with a smile to everyone who came to salute her, she looked amiable and extraordinary, I am afraid that after today, the virtuous and virtuous deeds of the county lord of Jingshu will be rumored in the market.

Everyone arrived and sat quietly, and saw the chief judge on the stage slap the sound of the wood and say "silence", followed by a loud announcement: "Ascend to the court!" ”
