The drumming was played by a woman, dressed in coarse linen clothes, with a thin figure, and a withered character, but the strength of the drumming was not small, and the big cowhide drum was beaten loudly, and in a short time the officials were led out to inquire about the situation.

"Who's drumming?"

When the woman saw someone coming out, she put down her drum and hammer, ran to the servant, and said excitedly, "I want to sue!" Then he handed over a pleading.

The official took the pleadings and looked down, suddenly his expression changed greatly, his brows were furrowed, he glanced at the woman, pondered for a moment, and said, "You wait first, I'll go and inform your lordship." ”

When Yuan Quanquan saw that the expression of the official was wrong, he guessed that this matter might not be simple, and immediately went up to prepare to see the excitement.

Not long after, the official came out and announced that he would be promoted to the court for trial.

In the lobby, the yacha is divided into two shifts, the cane in his hand beats the ground rhythmically, shouting "might-", and there are two signs on both sides of the hall, which are written "avoidance" and "quiet" respectively, and the power of the hall is fully displayed.

The prefect of the capital is a fat man with a big belly, and he is so round and rich in oil and water on weekdays.

"Smack!" Shocked Tang Mu and shouted: "Who is in the hall? Why drumming? ”

The woman who was brought to the hall by the yacha knelt down at the foot of the hall and reported to herself: "The people's woman Wang, today's drumming is to sue a person and seek justice for my dead daughter!" ”

As soon as this class was raised, it attracted a group of people to watch. Yuan Quanquan stood at the front of the crowd, looked at the woman kneeling in the hall, heard her say that she was seeking justice for her dead daughter, and then thought of the look on her face when she saw the pleadings outside the palace, and thought to herself that the person this woman wanted to sue was not a powerful person? Is it someone that this fat adult doesn't dare to mess with?

"Who are you accusing?"

"Zhang Yueqing, the son of Taifu!"

As soon as this name came out, there was an uproar.

Among the people present, except for the Yuan Circle, everyone knows that there are three most famous gentlemen in the capital: Zhen Youcai, the son of Zhen Youqian, a wealthy businessman in the capital, and Situ Sheng, the younger brother of Situ Jin, the general of Biyuan, and there is one left, which is Zhang Yueqing, the youngest son of the Zhang Taifu family.

These three are well-known in the capital's sons.

is notoriously profligate, notoriously flowery, and notoriously lustful.

And if you want to say the most lustful, this little son of the Taifu family can afford to be the first among the three.

As soon as everyone heard that this woman said that Zhang Yueqing and Zhang Xiaogongzi of the Taifu family had sued the Taifu family, and that she was seeking justice for her dead daughter, they probably understood what was going on.

Zhang Xiaogongzi probably fell in love with other people's girls, and wanted to strengthen others, but the girl didn't follow, and in the end, somehow, the girl died, and the other person's mother sued the government.

There was a sigh in the hall, this Zhang Yueqing's reputation in the capital can be said to be quite stinky, but because of his identity, even if they have opinions, they can only say a few words after tea and dinner, after all, the other party is a powerful official child, and the little people can't afford to mess with it.

There are many people who admire this woman, and she dares to go to the government to sue Zhang Yueqing, which is really commendable. However, the vast majority of people feel that she is killing herself.

Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials. It's not that I don't want to fight, but I can't fight.

Yuan Quanquan didn't know the doorway to this, just watched idly, and heard the discussions of the people around him, so he was a little curious. Hearing that Zhang Yueqing was actually such a person, he couldn't help but scolded softly: "Scum! ”

When the fat-headed and big-eared prefect heard this name, his expression was also shocked, and he was silent for a moment before shouting at the woman: "Bold, slandering the son of an important minister of the court, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”

The woman was probably stimulated by her daughter's death, and she was very emotional, "My lord, the women are not slandered. Ah Lian, the daughter of the people's woman, was forcibly taken away by Zhang Yueqing, the son of the Taifu, and wanted to forcibly occupy her, but Ah Lian did not comply, so he locked her up. Poor my daughter, in order to keep her innocence, tried her best to escape, but she was caught on the way home, and she slammed her head into the wall in order not to be defiled! My lord, please be the master of the people and the daughter of the people's daughter, Ah Lian! She died a terrible death! ”

The fat prefect paused for a moment when he heard this, and then asked: "You said that Zhang Yueqing forcibly captured your daughter and caused your daughter to commit suicide, what evidence do you have?" If there is no evidence, you are guilty of slander, but you will be imprisoned. ”

"What other evidence can there be? Isn't my dead daughter enough proof? That Zhang Yueqing lost his conscience and caused my daughter to lose her life, isn't that enough to cure his crimes? The pain of losing a daughter made the woman cry out loud and accuse Zhang Yueqing of her evil deeds.

The fat prefect ignored her accusation, and his words were cold and ruthless: "You have no evidence, how can this official handle the case?" What's more, you're still suing the son of the Taifu family......"

"What's wrong with the son of the Taifu family? The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, my lord, can you not watch others handle the case! Yuan Quanquan stood in the crowd outside the hall, and saw that the prefect obviously did not want to accept this case and wanted to get rid of the woman's impatience, and then looked at the poor woman whose eyes were red with tears, and he couldn't hold back for a while, and opened his throat.

"Who in the hall is speaking? This official will try the case, how can he allow idle people to say more! ”

Yuan Quanquan took a step forward and spoke again: "Since it is a trial, why is it that it has not even been tried, so it is concluded that this case cannot be handled?" Since there is no evidence, then go and find it. Since the aunt handed over the pleadings and had someone to complain, why didn't the adult bring the defendant in for interrogation to see if the matter was as the aunt said? ”

The prefect made it clear that he didn't want to offend the Taifu, so he said that the case couldn't be handled without evidence, and sure enough, the officials protected each other!

When the prefect saw that the person who spoke was a slender little woman, and was "educated" by her like this, he was a little angry at the moment, "Who are you?" Do you still need to teach you how to judge the case? Come on, blast out this person who disturbs the public court! ”

When the two officials heard this, they came forward to get rid of them.

Xiao Zhi, who was following behind the Yuan Circle, was in a hurry, and shouted at the person who came with her eyebrows: "Presumptuous! Do you know who this is? ”

The fat prefect looked impatient: "This official doesn't care who you are, don't blast me out quickly!" ”

"You ......" Xiao Zhi looked indignant, and was about to report the identity of the Yuan Circle, but heard a nice male voice behind her.

"Wait!"

The voice was a little familiar, and Yuan Quanquan turned around to see that a handsome guy with long legs walked out from the back of the crowd, dressed in a red and black fast hunting suit, as if it was Murong Zhen.

When Yuan Quanquan saw him, there were some small surprises. She came here unintentionally, and she also wanted to play with him, but she was attracted by the woman's complaint just now, but she didn't notice that Murong Zhen was not here. Seeing him at this moment, he smiled and waved at him and greeted him.

Murong Zhen glanced at her and saluted her with fists: "I have seen Princess Ming." ”

As soon as he said "Princess Ming", a burst of whispers erupted in the crowd.

Even the fat prefect sitting in the hall was shocked, the fat on his face couldn't help shaking, and he hurriedly walked down and walked in front of the Yuan Circle, his attitude turned one hundred and eighty degrees from just now, "It turned out to be Princess Ming, the lower officials have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, and I hope that the princess will forgive her sins." ”

Seeing the completely different attitudes of the other party, the Yuan Circle sneered in his heart: Heh, this attitude has changed quite quickly, and it is snobbish.

coughed lightly, Yuan Quanquan raised his head and put on a noble posture, looking at people with his nostrils: "That's it, this princess has a lot, don't care about you." Before waiting for the other party to respond, he said, "However, in this case, this princess thinks that the adults should investigate it carefully, and give this aunt and her daughter justice." ”

"But this ......" the fat prefect looked embarrassed.

Murong Zhen spoke at the right time: "My lord, this case will be handed over to the lowly position." ”

The fat prefect wrinkled his big cake face into a super big bun, looked at the Yuan Circle, and then looked at Murong Zhen, and finally had to nod and hand over the case to Murong Zhen.

When the woman saw that the prefect had accepted her case, and it was Princess Ming who spoke for her, she stepped forward gratefully and knelt in front of the Yuan Quanquan and kowtowed to her in thanks.

Yuan Quanquan was taken aback, and hurriedly helped the person up, "Auntie, you don't have to thank me, I didn't do anything." You are here to file a complaint, and the adults should accept it, so you can relax. If your daughter was really forced to death by that Zhang Yueqing, this Lord Murong will definitely find out about this matter and severely punish the wicked to avenge your daughter. ”

The woman gratefully went to thank Murong Zhen again, and at the same time begged him to find evidence to severely punish the wicked and give her daughter justice.

Murong Zhen had a humble attitude and honest words: "This is my duty, I will definitely find out the truth of the matter, and I will not let go of those who are evil." ”

This case can be regarded as officially accepted, and the fat prefect will hand over the matter to Murong Zhen, and he will find out what is going on.

After the crowd dispersed, only Yuan Quanquan and Murong Zhen were left in the hall of the mansion.

Yuan Quanquan stood in front of Murong Zhen and looked up at him with a smile: "Lord Murong, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Murong Zhen took a step back, with a polite and modest attitude: "Don't dare to be, the princess can call me by name." ”

"Okay, then I'll call you Murong." Moving closer, Yuan Quanquan asked, "Murong, where do you plan to start investigating this matter?" Can you bring me along? ”

Murong Zhen was stunned by the slightly intimate call of the Yuan Circle, and only reacted after a while, and saw that the other party was closer than Fang Cai, the tips of his ears turned red irrepressibly, and replied, "I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate." How can the princess's noble body ......"

"Hey, it's okay, I don't mind." With a good look of the two brothers, he walked over and patted Murong Zhen's shoulder, and said arrogantly.

I don't know why, Yuan Quanquan has a good impression of this little brother who "she" once seduced, and wants to be good friends with him very much, and wants to play with him.

Murong Zhen was stunned by her pat, and turned his head to look at the porcelain white hand that was still on his shoulder, his eyes were a little strange. After being stunned for a moment, he stepped back and said, "The princess, please go back." ”

The metaverse is really boring, and she wants to find something to do right now. In this ancient period, in addition to the people from the Ming Wangfu and the Xiangfu, she also knew this little brother Murong. Coupled with his upright personality and good-looking appearance, Yuan Quanquan is still happy to play with him. And he went to investigate the case and did something beneficial to the people, although her ideological consciousness in the Yuan Circle is not so high, but she still has a bit of justice.

Seeing that the other party looked unwilling to let her go with him no matter what, Yuan Quanquan suddenly smiled, leaned over and whispered a word.

As a result, Murong Zhen simply agreed.
