Lu Caiqing saw the black people standing at the entrance of the yamen behind him, and suddenly had confidence in his heart, and said: "The people's daughter is called Lu Caiqing!" This is my father-in-law Song Ziyu! We are from Chenjia Village, and on behalf of more than 500 people in Chenjia Village, we came to redress the grievances of Chen Chungen and Li Yue'e. ”

As soon as these words came out, the people in the hall were boiling in a hurry, this is the boiling Chenjia Village case that was made a few days ago, it is said that the old man failed to ask for a salary, and was beaten to death, and the old woman also followed, the daughter of the family beat the drum and voiced the grievances, and the son-in-law was beaten fifty kills by the prefect on the grounds of disturbing the people and disturbing the court, and also followed the old couple, and the son was imprisoned for disobedience, which is really miserable!

These two children don't seem to be very old, and they also came to participate in this matter, and the discerning person knows at a glance that this tall man must have received the Miao family's silver, otherwise why would he make such a big deal because of the mere four taels of silver, and it would not be able to punish the murderer.

When the prefect of Jeju Prefecture, Gao Sheng, heard the discussion of the hall, slapped the shocked wood heavily, and shouted: "The people under the hall must not make loud noises, and if they disturb the order of the hall, they will be severely punished according to the laws of the Great Wei." ”

The people below shook their heads and sighed, worried for Lu Caiqing and the others in the hall, and then the master under the seat spoke: "You two don't kneel when you see the prefect." ”

Lu Caiqing doesn't understand the rules, but he knows that in ancient times, he had to bow to the court, but he knelt down now! When he hesitated, a servant came up to Lu Caiqing and Song Ziyu is leg, kicked the two to the ground, Song Ziyu stabilized his body and hurriedly helped Lu Caiqing up and asked, "Little daughter-in-law!" How are you? ”

Lu Caiqing shook his head, and after the two knelt on the ground, the master slowly reprimanded: "Since ancient times, when the people went to the court to complain, they had to salute the official master, which is the respect for the official master and the rule of our Great Wei Dynasty. ”

When Lu Caiqing heard this, he felt that he couldn't be entangled in this trivial matter, so he couldn't help but speak: "The people's daughter Lu Caiqing (grass folk Song Ziyu) has seen the prefect!" ”

Gao Sheng sat in the lobby and suddenly said, "Someone! Take the two people in the hall down and hit fifty boards with a cane! ”

Lu Caiqing and Song Ziyu were kneeling in the hall, and they were going to be tortured when they heard nothing, Lu Caiqing was annoyed and stood up directly, and the official saw that the two of them got up in vain, so they wanted to step forward again, Song Ziyu had the precautions just now, how could he hurt his little daughter-in-law for the second time, and as soon as he raised his legs, he stopped him and overthrew him to the ground by brute force.

When the master saw it, he was furious and said: "Dare to disrupt the people, and dare to commit murder in the court!" ”

Lu Caiqing saw it and asked, "Master!" Where did you see us committing murder, did we want to beat you or the prefect? ”

"You beat the officials?"

"He hit us first, and we are in legitimate defense!" Lu Caiqing said righteously.

The master said: "There are no rules, who let you get up, this is the rule in the court, you have to beat the drum and sound the grievances to fight fifty kills first, but you don't understand the rules, our officials are just kind to remind you, and you are clever and quibble." ”

"Forgive the little woman for her ignorance, I really don't know that you still have this rule in this court, the little woman is from the countryside, and she doesn't understand the rules in the lobby, so she knows that the official yamen is the place where the people are the masters, and the prefect has a "mirror hanging" on his head, and the big characters at the door say "honest and honest and loyal."

； Impartial law enforcement is shocking", the little woman is the official for the people to beat the drum and voice the grievances, the little woman is wronged! Do you care or not, Lord Prefect?

"This ......! Master! You see? The master was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to continue.

Gao Sheng determined from Lu Caiqing's performance just now that this girl is not ordinary, and she is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, listening to her read out the couplet at the door with a good word, he knew that she was literate and hyphenated, and then heard that she was representing more than 500 people in Chenjia Village to redress grievances, and knew that she was not a simple person behind her, although she didn't know whether it was true or false, but the hundred kills of the two people in front of her couldn't be beaten.

"Lu Caiqing! Don't make a loud noise in the hall! For the sake of you as an ignorant woman, Master Ben will spare you two hundred kills, but you should not talk nonsense and mess with the rules of the court. ”

"Lord Prefect! The people's daughter and Xianggong beat the drum today to make the prefect decide for the people's daughter, and the people's daughter wanted to sue Miao Rongfeng, the old man of Miao Mansion at No. 32 Baiyun Street, Jeju Prefecture, accusing him of innocently killing people, but he was at large, and released Liu Shuangzhu, who was innocently implicated in the prison. Lu Caiqing finished speaking in one breath.

Gao Sheng, who was sitting on the top, squinted her eyes, her heart was spinning, this girl was articulate, not like an ordinary peasant woman, she only knew that her husband was the sky, and she lived a country man who lived by labor, she first beat the drum and invited hundreds of people to watch, and then put on a big reason to avoid her killing stick, and now she has to ask for the punishment of the murderer and the release of the sinner.

He saw that Lu Caiqing finished narrating, and the hall quietly waited to see what the attitude of the lord of the government was, according to the past, the county lord was going to fight and kill the mighty stick, and then put people in prison, but today seems to be different, the girl in the hall was exempted from punishment with an understatement, and see how the lord of the yamen below dealt with it.

"Lu Caiqing! You don't want to get an inch, and the punishment that exempts you is for the sake of you being a girl's family, thinking that you are young and ignorant, but in the case of Chen Chungen in Chenjia Village, the official has investigated carefully, and the employer is not satisfied with what he has built, so he is only willing to give him half the wage, he just doesn't admit it, he has to be a scoundrel, and he was kicked out, who knows why he died at home, and it has nothing to do with the Miao family. Don't make trouble, this matter is understood, you don't make trouble here anymore, go home quickly! Gao Shengshao patiently persuaded them.

Lu Caiqing listened, and laughed in his heart, this Gao Sheng is quite good at finding a reason, and he can't get a salary, so he let him make up a half-price salary and make trouble, he deserves to be beaten, and he kindly persuaded himself to go home, this result is beyond Lu Caiqing's expectations, he has changed his sex, no, it has only been a long time, so he is taking care of the people behind him.

Lu Caiqing thought of this and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the prefect, today we are here to sue the Miao family, you are in court, since you are going to try the case, now that there is a plaintiff, then you should invite the defendant to the lobby." ”

Seeing that his master had lost patience and ignored it, he stood up and said, "Lu Caiqing! You don't want to embarrass the lord here because there are many people, you are pointing fingers here, my lord can punish you for the crime of disturbing the court, and now you don't get down the steps, my lord will try the case, when will you tell the prefect how to do things? ”

"The people's daughter is not directing the prefect to do things, but reminding the lord that since the case is to be tried, the original defendant must be present, and if the defendant is missing, my complaint is also a blank accusation." Lu Caiqing said righteously.

The master was unjustifiable when he heard this, his eyes rolled and he pretended to say to the prefect: "Master Qiqi! The little one remembers that a few days ago, the old man of the Miao family was doing business, and he didn't seem to be at home in Jeju Mansion, and the defendant was not present, so the little one should postpone the trial! ”

When the prefect Gao Sheng heard this, he raised his eyebrows at the master, implying that he was doing a good job, so he solemnly said: "Listen to Lu Caiqing, the master of the Miao family is no longer at home, he has gone out to do business, you better go home and wait, wait for the master of the Miao family!" When Miao Rongfeng goes home, the official will go to get someone as soon as possible, and immediately notify you to try the case together. Retire! ”

"Wait! Although I don't know if the master of the Miao family is not there, this Liu Shuangzhu has been detained by you for half a month, is it time to release him. ”

"Lu Caiqing! You stubborn woman, is the official too merciful to you, you are making a lot of nonsense in the court, and the flesh is itchy and said, the official thinks of your young age, but you don't appreciate it, then don't blame the official for being ruthless, come on! Give me a rod and thirty pounds on this woman who disturbs the court, and put her in prison. ”

The prefect Gao Sheng finally couldn't sit still, and he couldn't bear to be angry, and began to reveal his true form.

"Can't fight! I see which of you dares to touch my daughter-in-law! Song Ziyu shouted in the hall and shouted at the officials under the hall, everyone, you look at me, I see that you don't dare to do it.

When the master saw it, he said angrily: "You are all wine bags and rice bags, why are you so cowardly, just a village horseman will scare you out, and I will be beaten together!" ”

When the officials heard this, they raised their canes and walked towards the two of them.

Seeing that they were finally annoyed, Lu Caiqing opened his mouth and asked, "What?" There are two prefects above this hall, I have never heard that this master speaks with the same authority as the prefect, it seems that this small prefect yamen is nothing more than that, but I put the words here, as long as you beat me, I will never give in, I will go to the top to sue, the above does not succeed to go to the capital, I believe that there will always be a place to manage, then I will tell the truth, this Jeju prefect yamen, without even asking, without trial, just beat the plaintiff, and innocently detained the deceased's relatives. ”

"Wait!" Gao Sheng was probably frightened by this Lu Caiqing, or maybe he was afraid of causing trouble, now he is the focus of the investigation above, and someone will replace him if he is not careful, when there are many events, more things are better than less things, so he quickly stopped it.

With a smile on his face: "Pick a green girl! Look at you, it's really iron-clad, just now the official just wanted to test your determination, seeing that you are so anxious, the official has not had time to ask you, I don't know what your relationship is with the deceased in this Chenjia Village, and let you do your best for him. ”

Lu Caiqing knew that his words seemed to touch his sore spot, it should be that he was afraid that things would make a big fuss, so it would be difficult to tear his face, and it would be best to solve it peacefully.

Lu Caiqing thought of this and said: "It has nothing to do with me, it's just that his daughter was kind to me at the beginning, and now she is sick in bed, and her husband died because of this incident, and her son was imprisoned, so I want to seek justice for her." ”
