Chapter 164: Trial of the case
Zhiwan was stunned for a moment, a little incredulous, is this the infighting in the Zhennan Palace, "The old lady's people?" How could she have assassinated you? ”
Leng Feng said dissatisfiedly on the side, "The old lady has sent someone to assassinate the prince seven times, and the county prince has been four times, a year ago, if the old lady hadn't sent someone to assassinate the county prince, the county prince would not have ...... There will be no little prince and little county lord, the old lady said, if she can't escape the assassination sent by her, she will not be qualified to inherit the Zhennan Palace, and I don't know how many there will be in the future. ”
Zhiwan was terrified when she heard it, and thought it was infighting, but she didn't expect the reason to be so strange, "Is there a mistake, the old lady sent someone to assassinate you and the prince, is it that in the future, she will also send someone to assassinate Chen'er?!" ”
Leng Feng nodded lightly, it stands to reason that this is the case, the old lady said that this is the rule handed down from the palace, whether it is true or not, no one knows, the prince didn't say anything, they only have to listen to orders, as long as they think about almost dying in the hands of the old lady, they will panic in their hearts, not counting outsiders, but also guarding against the old lady.
Listening to Leng Feng, Zhiwan knew that not only Ye Guiyue had been planted in the hands of the old lady, but even the prince had almost died in the hands of the old lady, and the old lady's methods were not only assassination, but also poisoning, but one thing can rest assured, the old lady will not assassinate people in the palace, but will poison, this is also the reason why Ye Guiyue does not like Zhiwan to get too close to the old lady, and even if she can, she is not allowed to enter Chunhui Courtyard, who knows when the old lady went crazy and wanted to poison Zhiwan, although he was very confident in Zhiwan's medical skills, but he doesn't know how many strange poisons in the world, he doesn't dare to guarantee that any poison can be solved later, what if something happens?
The more she listened, the more she felt that the old lady was a madman, she didn't believe that there would be such a rule in the Zhennan Palace, and the life and death test of her sons and grandsons would be carried out. If it's my father, I know that I will believe three points, and then it's only three points!
Tiger poison does not eat children, and it is the nature of women to be soft-hearted. Zhiwan looked at Ye Guiyue, "What about the fourth master, did the old lady also send someone to assassinate him?" ”
Ye Guiyue shook his head lightly, "I haven't heard that the old lady has sent someone to assassinate the fourth uncle, but she is extremely spoiled by the fourth uncle, and she is strict with her father. ”
Leng Feng looked at the corpses floating away in the lake, and was a little worried, "Lord Jun, I killed so many secret guards of the old lady, and wait for us to return to the palace." I'm afraid that the old lady will fight with you. ”
The black line in Zhiwan's head, forgive her for not having enough head, and not understanding the old lady's thoughts, "Those secret guards just now were ruthless and merciless. If you don't kill them, they will kill you, and just like that, will the old lady still fight hard? ”
Leng Feng nodded heavily, it was precisely because there was a precedent that he would say this, every time the prince and the prince of the county killed the old lady's secret guard. The old lady will come to the door in distress, she wants to die or live, and Leng Feng can't understand how the palace can have such a perverted approach, the mother and grandmother assassinate her son and grandson, and she is not allowed to resist. Point to point.
A year ago, the prince of the county was cut down, just because he was soft-hearted for a while, and he thought that the old lady was crying and troublesome, so he wanted to spare them, and he was slashed with a knife. Almost died, the old lady said that the secret guard would stop at a critical time, but what she did was not like that, I always felt that the old lady really intended to put the prince of the county to death, but why did the old lady do this, there is no reason, even if the prince is not obedient to her, but he rarely disobeys her, if he really kills the prince and the prince of the county, the Zhennan palace will become a mess of scattered sand, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and I don't know how much I want to take the Zhennan palace and replace it, if it only relies on the four masters who eat, drink, prostitute and gamble to stabilize the overall situation, is it possible?
The old lady is so shrewd that she will not dig her own grave, in her words, what kind of face does she have to go to see her ancestors, so this is even more incomprehensible.
The assassination was quickly put aside, compared with the lake and the mountains, the old lady and the Zhennan Wangfu thought about those things in vain, and everything was waiting for the return from Yongzhou.
Go all the way from Jiushan Lake, pass through the Sichuan River, Yuan River, go ashore in Yizhou, and travel by carriage for three days to reach Yongzhou.
Yizhou, the territory of the Zhou family.
Before Zhiwan and others went ashore, Leng Xun prepared a small courtyard in advance, although the boat was very pleasant, but it was not very convenient to take a bath, what Zhiwan wanted most was to take a bath, especially if he wanted to jump into the water and take a bath, but Ye Guiyue was not allowed, and Zhiwan could only dispel this idea.
Standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the shore of Yizhou, the crowd is surging, bustling, shouting one after another, it can be seen that it is a prosperous state, if it is not prosperous, it is impossible to become one of the seven great families of the Zhou family.
The boat was about to dock, suddenly there was a sound of gongs and drums, and the singing was called a joy, Zhiwan was still curiously standing on tiptoe to look, and saw some people wearing red silk in the distance, and couldn't help but smile, "It's a coincidence to come, I met my daughter to marry my daughter." ”
Ye Guiyue saw Zhiwan's look of wanting to join in the fun, and said with a smile, "That's not marrying a daughter, that's Yizhou Thorn Shi cooperating with local officials to greet you and me." ”
Ye Guiyue's words were not a basin of cold water, but half a basin, she didn't think about meeting the local officials, and besides, "We weren't ordered to go out of Beijing on an errand, just a honeymoon trip, as for this kind of labor?" ”
The cold wind looked at Zhiwan, the princess of the county is still too tender, these officials have no chance to tie up the prince of the county, and finally the prince of the county has come to their territory, and they don't get on the pole to stammer, in case the lord is angry, their career will come to an end, the prince and the prince of the county are coming, whether it is idle panic, or there is something to do, it is always right to tie the knot, this is the way for the official to stay for a long time, how can these people not understand if they are rolling and crawling in the officialdom?
It's just that the princess doesn't like this kind of scene very much, and these people's sycophants are wrong.
How can I not know if I know the night, but I am a little uncomfortable, and I don't know if anyone bribes them for a while, and whoever bribes when the time comes, she will use that token to remove whomever from their official position and appoint virtuous people......
Zhiwan thought about it, the corners of his mouth slowly arced, laughing like a stealing fox, laughing more and more presumptuously, and even bending over with laughter, making a group of people scratch their heads, Poria looked at Zhiwan carelessly, "Princess Jun, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I just think that I want to become a generation of female Bao Qingtian, and I am very ......proud."
A group of people with black lines on their faces turned sideways. Although they don't know who Bao Qingtian is, they still understand that the princess of the county wants to arrest corrupt officials.
The officials beat gongs and drums to greet them, but the princess of the county was thinking about how to arrest them. The cold wind mourned for them in the bottom of my heart.
However, soon, Leng Feng changed his mind, and felt that the princess of the county was right, so she should think like this, for no other reason, these gongs and drums, the officials greeted them not by them, but by the right attendant of the household department.
When the ship approached, he saw the officials saluting the right attendant of the household. What a person is the right waiter of the household department, and the cousin of the princess!
Zhiwan stood there, didn't smile anymore, and looked at Ye Guiyue with a jumping face, "It's not to greet you and me." ”
Ye Guiyue blushed rarely. The enchanting eyes were full of sparks, especially when a certain woman on the side spoke, shaking her shoulders and laughing more presumptuously than before, patting Ye Guiyue's shoulder, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that you would be able to walk sideways in Kyoto, out of Kyoto." There is only the part of being ignored, and it is necessary to reflect and reflect. ”
Zhiwan laughed loudly and happily, the ship was very close to the shore, and the people on the shore heard it, and the officials turned their heads and glared, "Where did the thief come from?" Dare to pretend to be the king of Yuejun, come to someone, and take down the rebellious ministers and thieves for this official! ”
Zhiwan's laughter stopped abruptly, there was no most speechless, only more speechless. If you don't greet them, forget it, how can you become a pretender again?
The cold wind clenched his fists, although their greeting was irrelevant, but to greet a small waiter in front of the county prince, ignoring the county prince, this is unbearable, and now it is said to be impersonation, a great shame!
The cold wind wants to teach them a lesson, Ye Guiyue played a jade fan, smiling out of the dust, and there was no anger in his eyes, after the boat docked, the officers and soldiers stepped forward to surround them, Ye Guiyue took the lead in getting off the boat, walked to the right waiter of the household, stopped, and said with a smile, "Why, Lord Right Squire doesn't recognize the king of this county?" ”
The Yizhou official frowned, "This morning, I led the Yizhou officials to take the county prince and the princess into the post station, where did a Yue County King pop up, this official wants to ask, how many Yue County Kings are there?!" ”
The eyes of the right attendant of the household department flashed, and his heart turned a thousand times, and the king of Xiang sent a secret order to get rid of the king of Yuejun at all costs, and this group of wine bags and rice bags in Yizhou can just be used, so he smiled and said, "This official is fortunate to have seen the king of Yuejun a few times, but the king of Yuejun is prestigious, even the emperor is not afraid, the official is afraid of colliding with him, every time he sees it, he lowers his head, and he is not sure whether it is the king ......of Yuejun himself, but look at the figure and bearing are indeed six or seven points similar, all the way to the boat, dusty, dizzy, and a little untenable." ”
Zhiwan stood beside Ye Guiyue, and looked at the right attendant who rubbed his temples a little speechlessly, please, don't act if you don't know how to act, okay, it's fake, okay, I've seen a few times, which of the civil and military officials doesn't say anything, even if Ye Guiyue turns into ashes, he can recognize it?
But soon, the right squire couldn't go on, trembling and kneeling, the Yizhou officials were also frightened, and looked at the token in Zhiwan's hand, his eyes seemed to be caught by the golden dragon, and he couldn't make a mistake, or the right squire's begging for mercy made them come back to their senses, "The princess of the county spared her life, the little official made a little joke with the princess of the county on a whim, and the lower official had seen the prince of the county several times, how could he not recognize the prince of the county, someone must have pretended to be the prince of the county, and he should punish the nine clans!" ”
Zhiwan played with the token in his hand and said with a smile, "The emperor is really good to Chen'er, this token is not small, Chen'er is young, I'm a mother, I'll help him accumulate official prestige, come to people, spread the news, the dust king will live in Yizhou for two days, anyone who is oppressed by Yizhou officials, and has nowhere to redress grievances, can immediately go to Wenzhou Mansion to beat the drum and sound grievances, and the dust king will make decisions for them!" ”
Zhiwan took a mouthful of dust, and the momentum of shouting, Leng Feng Leng Xun silently took a step closer to Ye Guiyue, and whispered, "Master, do you really want to listen to the orders of the princess of the county?" ”
Leng Feng doesn't think that the case will be tried at the right time, and it is not the county prince who is coming, in case they go to shout, the county prince will not care at that time, who will clean up the mess, will the county princess come, since ancient times, he has despised Si Chen, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.
As soon as Ye Guiyue raised his hand, the cold wind came to his senses, and gave the dark guard behind him a look, but before the dark guard left, there was a commotion over there, "The grass people are wronged!" ”
The officers and soldiers were all kneeling, no one stopped them, and suddenly let the man break into the front, the man was not very old, in his early twenties, but his face was a little blue and swollen, but if you look closely, you can still see that this person should look good. And it seems to be a little weak, like a scholar.
The scholar knelt directly in front of Ye Guiyue and begged, "Please ask the dust king to make the decision for Xiaomin." ”
The corners of Ye Guiyue's mouth twitched. Jun's face was dark, especially when a certain woman reached out and pushed him, "Go over a little, don't block the dust." ”
Ye Guiyue glanced at Zhiwan fiercely, shook the jade fan and left, Leng Mu and Leng Shi twitched the corner of his eyes and lifted the cradle forward, the man looked at the cradle and looked at Zhiwan blankly, "He, he is the king of dust?" ”
Poria saw his stupid look. Some of them are too happy, this trip to Beijing is so fun, they have all the food, drink and fun, and they can still try the case, so they covered their mouths and smiled. "This is the dust king and the county lord of Jiusi, it's just that our little prince is still young, and our county prince and princess will help you make decisions about your grievances, hey, you haven't said your grievances yet, what about your paper?"
The man was stunned, and then he took out the paper from his sleeve in a panic. first glanced at the departing King Yuejun, handed the paper to Zhiwan, and pouted, "It's really not like a complaint, the paper is still covered so tightly." ”
The man didn't speak, and it was all written on the paper. He sued seven times, three times the pleadings were torn up before they could be sent, and the remaining four times, he sued once and was beaten once. Today I heard that the head of the household is coming, he had heard that the head of the head of the family is a clean official, and he is a clean man, so he wanted to try his luck, but he didn't expect to hear the pride of the evening.
Poria covered her mouth and smiled, "You scholar, you have grown so big in vain, don't you know if the squire is left and right, the left squire is Lord Yuan, he is a good official, and the young master of Yuan is still a deputy general under the hands of our county prince, as for the right squire, hum, his eyes are not good, and he is dizzy when he sits on the bow of the boat, and he can't even recognize the prince of the county, you must not be able to understand this paper." ”
The officials of Yizhou knelt there, sweating profusely, almost prostration, they greeted the wrong king of Yuejun, and they wanted to arrest them as chaotic ministers and thieves, which angered the princess of Yuejun, what should I do, the king of Yuejun, that is not even in the eyes of the emperor, it is easier to pinch them to death than to step on a group of ants!!
Zhiwan looked at the paper while walking, and Bai Shao asked the man to get up and asked him a few words.
The man's name is Liu Chengyi, he is a showman in Wenzhou, his family background is very thick, his parents are alive, but he participated in the poetry meeting with his classmates and friends last year, and accidentally pressed the prefect's son, and was hated by the prefect's young master, slandered him for his bad character, took away his name as a talent, and robbed his little sister as a concubine, his parents had no way to ask for help, and then learned that after the little sister hit the wall and died, his father's heart disease relapsed, and he died, and his mother washed her face with tears all day long.
Poria and Bai Shao listened to Liu Chengyi's words, looking at each other, the family background is thick, the elder brother is talented, even if he is not a lady, he is also a small family jasper, I can't imagine that he will end up dying against the wall, this is too pitiful, the young master of the prefect is rampant in the township, the fish and meat people, it is like a bully, it is also a gentleman, why is he bullying the poor people, and the prince of the county picks the powerful to bully it?
Zhiwan finished reading the paper, and read it carefully, the writing is outstanding, the conditioning is clear, and he also knows a lot about the laws of Dayue, if he participates in the imperial examination, he is not a Jinshi, but unfortunately, the name of Xiucai was taken away, and he is not qualified to participate in the imperial examination, otherwise he may have benefited the township now.
Ye Guiyue waited in the carriage for Zhiwan, and after Zhiwan got out of the carriage, he handed the paper to Ye Guiyue to see, but he looked at the token and said, "Kill a few corrupt officials, are you sure it's okay?" ”
Ye Guiyue put down the paper, it was rare that there was no rocking chair in the carriage, he could hold Zhiwan, pinch Zhiwan's nose and say, "There must be something wrong with you killing, and there will be nothing wrong with killing Chen'er." ”
Zhiwan's face was sweaty, is there a difference, the dust is so small, they can't make up their minds about everything, but the words have already been said in advance, and it will definitely not work if you don't catch it, "What about the person who pretends to be you?" ”
"Don't dispose of it, when we go, they will disappear automatically."
“…… What do you mean? ”
"The person pretending to be me was sent by the emperor."
“…… What do you mean? ”
"It means that the emperor hopes that his husband will be arrested so that he can rectify the government affairs here."
“…… The emperor is full of panic, knowing that corrupt officials are rampant here, he himself will not send someone to arrest him, and he wants you to come. ”
Zhiwan's eyes were about to cramp, sipping tea, extremely speechless, Ye Guiyue saw her like that, hugged her tighter, and said with a smile, "Doesn't the lady know the reason?" ”
Zhiwan bared his teeth, shrugged the tip of his nose and said, "The gentleman is unpredictable, how do I know what the emperor is doing this?" Tell me, what is the emperor doing this for? ”
The corners of Ye Guiyue's mouth hooked. Evil nature, "Since ancient times, officials and officials have protected each other, and I don't know how many people in the court have formed parties for personal gain, and they have killed one person and moved their whole body." Or invite the disaster of killing, those people are the best at turning a blind eye, the emperor knows that the father and the emperor connived at the husband's rampant, one is for the husband to like, and the other is that the court needs such a county king, and he will come out to kill people in due time. ”
Zhiwan was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes blinked violently, "You don't have to move your whole body to kill?" ”
Ye Guiyue nodded his head. "For a husband is not more serious, beating and killing people is never pleasing to the eye."
Zhiwan understands that Ye Guiyue does not have the ruthlessness of an upright official, killing one person is one person, and it will not necessarily be involved. It will not cause turmoil in the court, but it will give vigilance to the people behind the scenes, sometimes what the emperor needs is the vigilance of officials, if you really want to be more serious, so many officials, how many are honest and not self-conscious, and there are no fish when the water is clear. If you are observant, you have no friends, this is the truth.
The emperor has an opinion on Yizhou, and it's no wonder that the Yizhou officials can get better, but the emperor gave him so much power, did he trust him too much?
There was such an accident, and the small courtyard was prepared in vain. The carriage stopped directly at the Yizhou Mansion and I have to say that even if there is no telephone or computer, it is still very fast to spread one thing, no. When the carriage stopped in front of the government,
There are a hundred and eighty people who want to complain, and as soon as the carriage comes, the scene will be uncontrollable, and if it is not for the secret guards to stop it, the carriage will probably be overturned.
After Ye Guiyue got out of the carriage, he helped Zhiwan to get off the carriage, Zhiwan looked at the people who wanted to sue, and asked casually, who do you want to sue, there are prefects, prefects, housekeepers, and masters, as well as the prefect's wife's mother's family, and the master's uncle...... There are all kinds of them, but they all have something to do with this government.
Zhiwan had a headache when he heard this, and instructed Leng Fengdao, "To sum up, what are they accusing of, if they sue the same person, they will stand together, and they will go to the court together for a while, I see that there are too many people, and I will call all the secret guards for a while, and one person will try one." ”
Cold wind, "....... ”
Ye Guiyue, "......." ”
Liu Chengyi, "....... ”
It is the right of the prefect to try the case, not anyone can judge the case well, the princess of the county is from a big family, how can she not understand the law of Dayue?
Ye Guiyue rubbed his temples and said, "You can try the case instead of Chen'er, that's because you are Chen'er's mother and the princess of the county, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can turn a blind eye, if the secret guards can casually open the court to ask the case, won't it be a mess of porridge?" ”
Zhiwan glanced at him, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who said that Leng Shi and Leng Mu opened a court to ask about the case, they just helped us sort out the case, invited these people to go in for a tea and chat, and took the idea, and it was you and I who finally decided the case, isn't this done, besides, it depends on the two of us, so many people don't want to finish asking in seven or eight days, we only have two days, and there are more than these people who have grievances, and they are in a hurry." ”
Su Ang and Su Xiangxing also accompanied them, seeing Zhiwan messing around like this, they wanted to persuade them, but when they thought of the token in Zhiwan's hand, they couldn't open their mouths, if it weren't for the emperor, the prince, and the county prince who were willing, would the token fly to Zhiwan's hand?
No matter how excessive Zhiwan is, no matter how polite it is, it is also tacitly acquiesced, so they will not mix blindly, thinking that they still have business to discuss with the Zhou family, so they said hello and took Su Ang away.
Entering the mansion, the position of the prefect was automatically occupied by Ye Guiyue, Zhiwan stood beside Ye Guiyue, and the cradle of Chen'er Si'er was also on the side, Leng Feng glanced at the sky, and said, "The princess of the county, it's already noon, is it okay to have dinner first and then try the case?" ”
Zhiwan rubbed his stomach and glanced at the cold wind, "Where's the rice?" ”
“…… is still on the way to buy it, and his subordinates will go down to be the master. ”
Liu Chengyi knelt in the hall, and it was not the officers and soldiers who shouted the mighty people who went to the hall to ask the case, but replaced them with secret guards, these secret guards have also played on the boat these days, and this trial is also the first time, and the one who shouted is called a bright one, or Sister-in-law Qian's eyes are glaring, shouting so loudly What are you doing, scared and crying Little Wangye Xiaojun Wang, it's good to beat you dozens of big boards.
