Today, the Yamen of Shangdu Mansion was originally closed, because everyone went to the tuberculosis village, and a notice was specially posted at the door, telling people that those who did not file grievances should wait, and when the tuberculosis village was done, Lord Han would come back to continue the trial of the case.

But Yingchun was still at noon, and the drums at the entrance of the government were beaten under the scorching sun, and at the same time, he shouted one by one: "Please make the decision for me, please make the decision for me!" ”

Because Han Tiangang was not there, Master Sun also went with him, and there was only one Zhengliupintong judge in the yamen who stayed to take care of the house.

Originally, this general judge cherished the opportunity to take care of his family, and hoped that if there was a case that he couldn't wait for, and the people had to sue today, then he could temporarily exercise the power granted by the Han Governor and get over the addiction of trying the case.

So when he played the drum in the spring, he was very excited, thinking that he could finally show his skills, but the official outside quietly told him that this matter was not easy to care, because the one who came to beat the drum was not someone else, he looked very much like the personal maid of the princess.

The general judge's name is Ming Guangyuan, a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a good brain, sometimes faster than Han Tiangang. It's a pity that his family is poor and can't focus on his studies and scientific examinations, and when he entered the palace examination, he was already thirty-five years old.

The top three are naturally hopeless, and in the end, they ended up fifth in the palace exam, which is also a good result. It's a pity that this rank can't be released to become a parent official, but fortunately, he has a good life and can stay in Shangdu City, and he has a job as the head of the Shangdu Mansion.

Ming Guangyuan still has some ambitions, and he is smart, so he has been thinking about when he will have the opportunity to show his hand and let Han Governor see his ability to handle cases. Anyway, he has been called Xiao Qingtian since he was a child in his hometown, and if the county order can't handle any major or minor affairs in the county, he will be asked to help investigate and deal with them.

He likes to solve cases, likes to see the moment when the bad guys are brought to justice, and likes to listen to the people's gratitude after they have been wronged. It's just that he can't hear about it anymore after he left his hometown, and he misses it very much.

Therefore, he cherished the opportunity of Han Tiangang's absence from the city this time, especially when he heard that the person who came to beat the drum was Princess Tianci's personal maid, he was even more excited.

He asked the official who came to deliver the message: "What happened to the maid of the princess?" Why can't it be managed? Princess Tianci is the hero of the country, her maid came to beat the drum to complain, we should be more in charge of others! ”

The official hurriedly told him the doorway inside: "Mingtong sentence, it's not that your subordinates won't let you take care of this matter, you can take care of it, but you must think about it before you manage it, and you can't afford to take care of the person who is accused." ”

Ming Guangyuan was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?" Do you know who she's going to sue? ”

The official shook his head, "My subordinates don't know, but I think about it, although the one who came to beat the drum was a maid, but the identity of the maid behind it was too scary." is not only the emperor's righteous daughter, but also the future concubine of His Royal Highness the Tenth, what grievances does she have that she can't go home and reach out to her master? Who can't you sue in front of her master? Do you have to run to our mansion around the bush? No matter how much you say it, the yamen of Shangdu Mansion can't compare to the palace! Why did she come? ”

Ming Guangyuan rolled his eyes and immediately understood, "You mean, she wants to drag us into the water?" ”

"That's right." The official said again: "And the subordinates dare to guarantee that the person the maid wants to sue will definitely not be an ordinary person." Because ordinary people can't do anything with them, the dignified princess, oh no, the personal maid of the princess, how can she have the time to worry about the people. Therefore, her subordinates guessed that she was going to sue either a high-ranking official or a relative of the emperor, so it was better for you to be judged, and you had to wait for Lord Han to come back. ”

This official is also kind-hearted, and if he is afraid that Ming Guangyuan has a little power in his hands, he doesn't know how capable he is, and he dares to take any case, and in the end, if he messes it up, it will outweigh the losses. Secondly, he also felt that this matter could not be done according to Ming Guangyuan's identity, since it couldn't be done, it was better for him to quickly find someone outside the city to invite Lord Han to return to his house, or to ask for a plan, in short, he must not let Ming Guangyuan succeed and delay the matter of the princess of heaven.

He was indeed kind, but Ming Guangyuan didn't appreciate it at all, and even when he heard that the person playing the drum outside was likely to sue the emperor for his national prestige, he almost jumped up with joy. This enthusiasm and eagerness for a big case had already overwhelmed his mind, so much so that he was happy for a while, and he didn't think about what to do next.

It wasn't until the official called him a few more times that he came back to his senses, then stood up, ignored the other party's dissuasion, and walked directly outside the mansion, until he walked to Yingchun, who was beating the drum hard.

Yingchun saw the door of the mansion open, and an unknown person walked out, thinking that this must be to pick him up and enter the hall. So he put down the drumstick and took the initiative to meet him, "Will you be promoted immediately?" Let's go, I'm all set. ”

Ming Guangyuan was about to take a closer look at what the princess's personal maid looked like, but he didn't expect that the sudden look almost didn't scare him to death. I saw that the whole face of the girl in front of me was red, and countless pus-soaked bumps grew on her face, from the face to the forehead, and then from the forehead to the chin, there was no skin that was not covered by this hideous pimple, and it was impossible to see the original appearance of this face. The feeling was disgusting and terrifying, and it made my scalp tingle.

Ming Guangyuan couldn't figure it out, this kind of face was so bad that he couldn't even see his appearance clearly, how did the official who guarded the door recognize people? He asked this question to the official, and the official replied, "I can't see it even if I'm tired to death!" It was she who said it, while beating the drum, she reported to her home, saying that she was the personal maid of the princess. ”

Ming Guangyuan nodded, forcibly endured the discomfort and looked at Yingchun again, and asked, "Are you here to avenge your grievances or to sue?" ”

Yingchun asked rhetorically: "Aren't revenge and prosecution the same thing?" ”

Ming Guangyuan told her: "It's not a cause. JusticeBasically you are the defendant, but you think you have been wronged, so you come to plead. But as for the complaint, you must be the plaintiff, so tell me who you want to sue. ”

"That's it! So who are you? I want to see Lord Han. Yingchun raised his hand to block the top of his head, the sun was too poisonous, and his face hurt from the sun. I don't know if this face is rotten like this, Miss can be cured, if she can't be cured, she will really lose a lot. In order to make the effect more obvious, she applied too much rouge, and now it hurts so much that she wants to shed tears.

Ming Guangyuan told Yingchun about the situation in the yamen, and also introduced himself, and then proposed to her: "Why don't you tell me what happened to you, I'll help you with the staff, if it's easy to do, I'll do it for you, if it's not good, let's wait for Lord Han to come back, okay?" He did not invite anyone into the yamen, but led them to sit on the ground on the steps of the door.

Yingchun didn't twist either, he followed Bai Heran, he didn't do anything, and sitting on the street like this and chatting with people was a piece of cake. So he immediately sat down and told Ming Guangyuan what happened to him.

It turned out that she went to the Fragrance Pavilion to buy rouge today, picked three things, and opened them all on the spot and tried them on her face.

In her words, it was the people in the Fragrance Pavilion who tried their best to prevent her from opening and applying it on the spot, on the grounds that there were people coming and going in the store, and she couldn't see a girl's makeup touch-up. But Yingchun didn't care, she was originally a maid, and she was not a lady, so she didn't have those taboos. Second, all the people who enter and leave the Fragrance Pavilion are women, so what's so good.

So despite the persuasion of the Fragrance Pavilion, he tried it on the spot.

The first two were fine, but when I tried the third one, I felt that my face hurt hotly after a while, and my face was rotten in less than a moment. She suspected that there was something wrong with the Rouge of the Fragrance Pavilion, but the other party not only refused to admit it, but also kicked her out, saying that she deliberately ruined the reputation of the Fragrance Pavilion and would send her to the government if she didn't leave.

Yingchun was very angry, "I don't need them to send it, I'll come by myself, I'll sue them and sue Fragrance Pavilion for fraud!" ”

Ming Guangyuan immediately asked her, "Do you still have that box of rouge?" ”

Yingchun immediately took out a few small boxes from his pocket, "It's all here, there are three boxes in total, and they are all kept." They wanted to snatch it back, but I didn't give it, and they also sent someone to chase after me, and they didn't give up until I ran to the yamen. This general judge, I am a little girl, and I don't know how big an official the general judge is, but since Han Fu Yin is not here today, and he left the yamen to you, then this matter should be taken care of by you. You also see my face, I will never wait for tomorrow, I must get this justice back today. If not, when my young lady comes back in the evening, then this matter will be really big. ”

Ming Guangyuan nodded, "Yes, I heard that Princess Tianci has a bad temper and is extremely protective of her shortcomings, if Her Royal Highness knows about this, she will definitely be furious." He sighed: "I really envy you for having a master who protects your shortcomings!" ”

Yingchun was not in the mood to listen to his sighs here, but reminded him very seriously: "This general judge, although you are just a small general judge, but since you can sit here and listen to me today, instead of going directly to the court, it means that first, you are still self-motivated, and secondly, you are also very thoughtful, and you are not blindly seeking quick success." After all, Fragrance Pavilion can operate thriving in Shangdu City in just a few years, and it is impossible for this kind of shop to have no one behind it, and it is impossible for there to be no backstage. So you didn't directly open the court to try the case, you should be worried that your shelf will be bigger, and it won't end well in the end, right? ”

Ming Guangyuan was a little embarrassed, "Girl, it's not good to say it so directly, you can save me some face." ”

"I can give face, but Mingtong judges, do you want face or a future?" Yingchun stared at Ming Guangyuan, and in a rotten face, only the pair of eyes were particularly bright......
