(454) I want to sue the royal court

Jiang Qihong, who was holding the relics of her deceased husband, suddenly burst into tears

Zhang Qingting patted her on the back and comforted her silently. Before long, Jiang Qihong took a deep breath, tried to control her emotions, wiped her tears, and bowed deeply to Zhang Qingting, "Mrs. Zhang, I can't forget Miss Zhao for this kindness?" I'm going to kowtow to her and thank her for bringing me such an important thing."

"No need," Zhang Qingting waved his hand, "She just took the medicine and rested." I didn't ask you to do this."

She unfolded a road map that had just been drawn, "This is the topographic map she memorized with her heart, since the place is in the Yanwang Mansion, then we can find her eldest brother according to the map."

After Zhao Yulian came back, she learned that the person who was imprisoned with her was actually her own brother. Then the place where she stayed was likely to be the place where Zhao Chengcai was imprisoned.

Yan Bowen had been to Yanwang's Mansion before, and he still had some impressions, he had already verified this map, "It's almost seven or eight points credible, I remember that there is a huge rockery in the backyard of Yanwang's Mansion, and there is a dead end behind it, and a small door is opened, which is extremely hidden." If you enter through that door and follow Miss Zhao's diagram backwards, she will remember that this place looks like a corridor, and that place looks like a small bridge, all right."

Meng Zizhan was amazed, "It turns out that Miss Zhao has the ability to never forget, right, what about Gongzi He?" ”

As soon as he mentioned He Yutang, Zhang Qingting's face turned three points colder. Turning his head away, he couldn't bear to mention it again.

Yan Bowen sighed, "There are six broken bones all over the body, even if you save it, you will be greatly injured after all." He gave a thumbs up, "This is really a good man, Miss Zhao is there thanks to his protection, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

Zhang Qingting said in a deep voice, "There is no point in talking about this now, Lord Xiao Meng, I invited you to come just to inform you." Her eyes fell on Jiang Qihong, "Now, Sister Hong and I will go to Dengwen Drum to complain."

What the? Mencius Zhan's color changed, and he was stunned before he reacted, "Where are you going to avenge your grievances?" ”

Zhang Qingting looked at his eyes firmly, and said word by word, "Outside the court, Dengwen Drum"

Rao is Mencius has always been calm, and at this moment, his eyelids couldn't help but jump, "Do you know the meaning of hitting the drum?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Qingting is very clear, "Outside the court, there is a drum hanging on the board, and the people have great grievances and have no excuse to allow their drums, and they will personally accept only the drums in front of the drums, and they need to roll over the nail board in white clothes to prove the strength of their hearts" This is the folk commonly known as the sue for the emperor.

"I'm willing" Jiang Qihong stood up, "Mrs. Zhang, leave this nail board matter to me, please drum for me."

"Good" Zhang Qingting agreed without hesitation.

Mencius looked left and right, and for the first time found that once this woman was brave, her pride was actually inferior to that of a seven-foot man

"But...... But Mrs. Zhang, it's too dangerous, if you don't succeed, you're all a felony with a cane to death immediately."

Human life is at stake, Mencius became a little flustered for the first time, and his voice was trembling, "Or, you wait, wait until I think of other ways?" ”

"I can't wait, if there is another way, I don't want to take this risk." Zhang Qingting looked at him, his eyes were full of gratitude, "Lord Xiao Meng, I know you are a good official. Not only a good official, but also a good person. I am so grateful to you for taking so much care of us over the years, really, our whole family is very grateful to you. But you can't solve all the problems, you also have your family, your relationships, your burdens, your helplessness. We understand all of this. It's amazing that you've been able to get to where you are today."

She sighed faintly, "Master Meng, I know you sincerely want to help. It's just- do you dare to pack a ticket with me? Say that tomorrow, if you can take someone to rescue Chengcai the day after tomorrow? ”

Mencius was dumbfounded, he couldn't. As Zhang Qingting said, he also has a lot of worries and a lot of helplessness.

Zhang Qingting's eyes were red, but he couldn't help but let a tear fall, "Do you know how I felt when I saw Uncle He coming back covered in blood and dying of breath?" I'm afraid, I'm really afraid, I'm afraid that Chengcai will appear in front of me like this when the time comes, he is a scholar, and his body is not as strong as Uncle He. The day he was captured, he was so injured that he couldn't speak, so what kind of torture is he enduring these days? ”

Zhang Qingting looked up at the sky, swallowed all the unspeakable sadness back into his stomach, and let out the depression in his chest for a long time, before choking and said, "We have lost Old Man Fang, I don't want to lose more relatives, I especially don't want to, I can't, let my happy girl lose her father before she is a year old, do you understand?" Do you understand? "No mistakes, no skipping words.

It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, but at this moment, Meng Zizhan and Yan Bowen couldn't help but burst into tears.

Meng Zizhan knew that he couldn't persuade her to turn back, but he couldn't help but say, "Then you don't have to go to the imperial court?" Is it okay to go to Jingzhao Yin Yamen? I'm also familiar with the officials there. ”

Zhang Qingting smiled bitterly, "Master Meng, do you really think it's useful for me to go there?" Even if they accept the case, how much work will it take to give the approval to arrest the person? And in this process, will someone give Yan Bozhai a message, so that it will be in vain? ”

Mencius was choked, what Zhang Qingting said was very true, mutual protection, scruples and prevarication in these officialdoms were the norm. If she had managed to get the paper out, I'm afraid the abandoned garden would have been evacuated long ago.

"Master Meng, I know that you are for our good, and you are not willing to let us take this risk. But now it's really burning his eyebrows, and he has to take a risk, and only by going to the bottom of the imperial steps can he move out of the rescue as soon as possible, so that Yan Bozhai can have scruples, and he doesn't dare to act. This is the only hope for rescuing the Chengcai."

Mencius admits that what she said makes sense, "It's just—how are you going to sue?" If we just rely on this little thing in our hands to tell Yan Bozhai, then I can tell you that we will definitely lose."

"Who said I was going to sue Yan Bozhai?" Zhang Qingting smiled indifferently, revealing a bit of arrogance, "Master Meng, don't worry, I'm very calm now, very calm." I will never make trouble rashly, nor will I talk nonsense in front of the emperor. You look at these evidences, I use it to say goodbye, just to sue the rampant bandits in the capital, suspected of being the remnants of King Yan, who are causing rebellion, robbing and killing civilians and plundering money, and kidnapping candidates for the examination, with unknown intentions. You say, will the emperor accept it? ”

Meng Zizhan gasped, and after careful consideration, his eyes showed admiration, "Mrs. Zhang, you can sue for this."

He didn't say a word anymore and began to help them with advice, "The saint is in his early Chinese New Year's Eve, he likes to speak concisely and cheerfully, and hates red tape, but the rules and etiquette are extremely strict. If you enter the court, you must be careful of the following......"

It didn't take long for a major event to happen in the capital that had never been seen in nearly a hundred years, and the Dengwen drum hanging outside the court was beaten

As if with wings, this news quickly flew all over the streets and alleys, not only among the officials of various ministries, but also among restaurants and shops.

Dong Dong Dong is more than one person tall, and the vermilion drum with a round waist and a wide belly rumbles, deafening, and terrifying.

What kind of grievance is this, forcing people to be willing to give up the pain of flesh and skin, to roll over the three-inch-long nail board, and to sue this situation without fear of death?

The lawsuit has not yet begun, but most of the people's hearts have been tilted in favor of the complainant. After all, if it weren't for a clear conscience, few people would have the courage to go to the Son of Heaven to complain. If you dare to cheat at the press conference, you can know how tragic the end will be.

His Majesty the Emperor of Bei'an had just gotten up from his lunch break, and when he heard that something like this had happened, he immediately threw away the teacup in his hand and ordered him to "go to the front court with me"

In the past few years of his administration, although he is still young, he has never slackened off in the affairs of the government. But now, under his rule, there is a matter of people who want to fight Dengwen and drum out their grievances. No matter what the truth of this matter is, it is equivalent to a slap in the face and indirectly saying that he, the emperor, is incompetent and has an unfavorable rule.

What went wrong to make such a thing happen under his rule? Before the emperor arrived, he had already made up his mind to severely punish the officials involved

At this time, Zhang Qingting had already passed through layers of detailed searches and knelt in the Golden Palace with Jiang Qihong, who had rolled over the nail board and was covered in blood.

"Can it still hold up?" Zhang Qingting asked Jiang Qihong with his eyes.

Jiang Qihong nodded to signal her to rest assured, fortunately, this was early spring, and her clothes were still thick. Although in order to show her sincerity, she took off the big padded jacket on the outside in front of the nail board, but the small jacket inside still blocked a lot of damage, although she suffered some flesh and skin, but it was much better than she imagined.

The emperor came to the Jinluan Palace, sat on the dragon chair, and saw clearly that there were two weak female streamers kneeling down. It's a little amazing, and if nothing else, this courage alone is enough to move people. Chong bowed slightly, signaling that the eunuch could start questioning.

"Who's kneeling? Beat the drum for no reason, what do you do? ”

"The people's women Zhang and Jiang knocked to see my emperor, long live, long live" The two did not rush to reply, but first followed the court etiquette and performed three kneeling and nine bows.

Although there were eunuchs who specially taught him before entering the palace, he was very surprised by the emperor by performing such a good salute and with such a calm attitude. I don't feel that I have a good impression of this two daughters, and I feel that at least they are not those stupid women who are only empty and full of resentment.

But what exactly are they going to sue?
