Lu Caiqing said: "His daughter was kind to me at the beginning, but now she is sick in bed, and her husband died of illness because of this incident, and her son is in prison, so I have to seek justice for her." ”

The people who heard the trial below admired her in their hearts, it turned out that this husband and wife were to repay their kindness, but this prefect was not a good person, and everyone sweated for them.

The prefect Gao Sheng slapped his face and praised: "Caiqing girl is so benevolent and righteous!" is really chivalrous and admirable for someone he doesn't know! But this admiration is admiration, this Liu Shuangzhu took his mother to disturb the court is a fact, it is to be imprisoned, no matter if your girl is benevolent and righteous, you can't ignore the laws of Dawei, and I can't let people go privately. ”

Lu Caiqing listened, raised his head and asked, "Lord Gao!" So the folk girl dares to ask, how can she release people? ”

Hearing this, the prefect Gao Sheng hesitated: "This ...... disturbed the court, and took his mother to beat the drum to voice grievances, disturbing trouble, according to the laws of the Great Wei Dynasty, the official only sentenced him to a flogging penalty of 50 and imprisonment for three months, and now he has been imprisoned for more than half a month, and he can be released in some days. ”

"No! Now Chen Xiufen is sick in bed and can't get up, what she thinks about is that her son is still in prison, if she is not released, she will soon meet her parents and husband when she is depressed, and I implore Master Gao to allow Liu Shuangzhu to go home and serve in front of her mother's bed. Lu Caiqing said sincerely, and even the people behind him shouted: "The hard-working woman is about to die, please ask the master of the prefect to let the poor child go!" ”

The call is getting higher and higher, and the prefect Gao Sheng looks at the grudge in his heart that Lu Caiqing is nosy, accepts bribes from the Miao family, and imprisons Liu Shuangzhu is the meaning of the Miao family, if he is released now, it is not easy to explain to the Miao family, but if he does not let go, he will not be able to control the current scene.

Just when he was in distress, Lu Caiqing took out the petition of the villagers from his arms, and presented it with both hands: "Lord Gao! I know that this will make you embarrassed, but the law is nothing more than human affection, this is the signature of 548 people in Chenjia Village, I hope you will raise your noble hand and let go of the ignorant child. ”

Gao Sheng saw it and thought in his heart, this girl is really prepared, now with the petition of 100 people, if she doesn't let people go, she will seem to be a little unkind, only by letting people go, can she have a good reputation in this matter, and she can also prevaricate in the past.

He hesitated for a long time, clapped his hands and said, "That's it!" Just like Miss Caiqing said, the law is nothing more than human affection, and now there are more than 500 people petitioning, and if he is not allowed to go back to serve his mother, the parents of my state prefect will really become hard-hearted, let him go! Let go! Take the child back to his mother. ”

When the people below heard this, they clapped their hands and applauded: "Master Gao! What a good person who understands righteousness and is upright! Liu Shuangzhu met a good official who upheld justice. ”

Gao Sheng, who was sitting in the high hall, listened to it, felt that he had made the most correct decision, and listened leisurely to the praise of the people below.

When the officials went to raise people, some people below whispered: "What parent official!" Pretending to be a good name, I didn't see what his face was when I beat people, this girl is really capable, she can do it for the whole village to petition Liu Shuangzhu to release people, but in the end, she is young and was calculated by this corrupt official. ”

"Shh......h Be quiet! You are at the gate of the government, and you are deadly when you say this. He was also advised not to speak.

"Hey! I'm so loud and quiet, I can't hear it, I also saw the Miao family visit the flower building yesterday, and today I went out to do business, I can deceive the ignorant girl, leave us adults, who will believe it! After saying that, he sneered in a low voice.

Song Ziyu has been hunting all year round and has cultivated a pair of good hearings, he whispered the news he heard to Cai Qing, Lu Caiqing actually knew how could it be so coincidental, as soon as they came to complain, Miao Rongfeng just went out, it was estimated that it was a delaying tactic used by Gao Sheng.

Seeing that Liu Shuangzhu was helped out by others, Lu Caiqing hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Brother Shuangzhu!" Do you remember me? Lu Xiaosi! Lu Caiqing! ”

Liu Shuangzhu raised his eyes and looked, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly said: "It's a young girl!" I heard that the jailer just said that the surname Lu was to protect me from the situation, who else should I be? How is my mother? ”

Lu Caiqing didn't answer directly, he told the truth for fear that he would worry, and said that it was very good, he just said in the lobby that his mother was terminally ill, and now he didn't beat himself up, so he had to be silent.

Liu Shuangzhu saw that she was silent, but he misunderstood, and asked emotionally: "Is my mother no good, I know that this dog official has accepted other people's benefits, and he will not let my mother go!" Did she also get beaten, it's all this dog official, not for the people, what's the use of asking him to be this official, you return the lives of my father and my grandfather's family! ”

After speaking, he was about to pounce in front of Gao Sheng, but was firmly pulled by Song Ziyu in front of his chest, afraid that he would anger Gao Sheng and be locked up again.

"Ignorance Liu Shuangzhu below! Today is the grace of our eldest master, with this Lu girl with the petition of more than 500 villagers in Chenjia Village, you were able to be released, and now if you make a loud noise here and disturb the court, my lord will continue to let you eat in prison. The master stood down and reprimanded Liu Shuangzhu.

"Close! You're closed! If my mother has three long and two short, I won't live alone, and when the time comes, I will see if there will be anyone who cares about these five lives? Ascension! If you don't do justice to my grandfather's family, I will go out, and I will never give up. Liu Shuangzhu endured the pain and shouted at the prefect Gao Sheng.

Gao Sheng was insulted by him and immediately became angry: "Okay, you Liu Shuangzhu!" The official misses your mother and allows you to go home and serve in front of the bed, but how can your attitude reassure the official, it seems that it is better for you to stay here and reflect! Someone! Send people back to my cell and release them when they're due. ”

When the official came up, he was about to take someone, Song Ziyu suddenly protected Liu Shuangzhu behind him, and finally his little daughter-in-law knelt down and said good things before he was released, how could he be brought back because of a few insults, he had no choice but to protect him.

Seeing this, Lu Caiqing opened his mouth and asked: "Master Gao! We just heard with our own ears that you said that Liu Shuangzhu should be released, why did you bring it back in a blink of an eye, you are the dignified governor of Jeju Prefecture, is it your consistent style to go back on your word? And I deceived and ignorant, but I really heard someone say that I saw with my own eyes that the old man of the Miao family was still eating flower wine yesterday, is this how you shielded the murderer? ”

"Presumptuous! Who gave you permission to question your parents in court? Am I pampering you too much? ”

"You, a high-ranking prefect, should be counted if you say it, but now you want to imprison people again, how can you make me believe that you are an official who upholds justice? If you do this in the name of trying the case, you are a corrupt official who extorts property from others, relies on power, oppresses the people, and accepts bribes. ”

Lu Caiqing saw that Liu Shuangzhu's resentment towards Gao Sheng had reached the extreme, and it was irreparable as soon as the words came out, and the current situation was to carry it to the end, and see what he did with Gao Sheng.

The good mood just now was swept away again, I knew that the result was like this, it was better to put Lu Caiqing and the others in prison at the beginning, so as not to give birth to these incidents, and now I am being abused by an ignorant village woman in the countryside, what face do I have to gain a foothold here.

He "snapped" and was shocked, and shouted: "Lu Caiqing under the hall!" You dare to threaten this official and ruin the reputation of this official, who gave you the courage to do this, you ignorant village woman, you dare to roar in the court, I don't think you can give you a little power, you don't know what your surname is! Come! Give me fifty strokes of the rod and put them in prison for a later trial. ”

Gao Sheng stood up and commanded the general official viciously.

The master also shouted after him: "Hurry up, hurry up!" Wasted half a day, and was delayed by their nonsense, fight! Hit me hard! I've been a master for so many years, and no one dares to contradict me, no matter whether she is a man or a woman, isn't her mouth powerful? Give me a hard beating and see what she has to say! ”

"Who dares! Whoever dares to beat my daughter-in-law, I will fight with him! Song Ziyu was very protective of his wife and took his little daughter-in-law in his arms. Liu Shuangzhu can only play tricks, and when it comes to the real thing, he stays in place dumbfounded.

The crowd in the hall stopped doing it, and said it well, just because the family members of the deceased were angry, and they were going to be imprisoned again after venting their anger, because the girl told the truth, and reprimanded him for a few words, and he couldn't stand it, so he was going to bully others, and several big men were unhappy and wanted to come forward to save the three poor children.

As soon as Gao Sheng saw that the situation had deteriorated, it was just a small case that had sublimated to a conflict between the government and the people, and it was difficult to handle this matter.

"Can't fight! Can't hit! They're just kids! Everyone in the hall shouted.

Gao Sheng hurriedly ordered the officials to stop the emotional men and the people who were about to move behind them.

The prefect Gao Sheng stood on the hall and slapped the startled wood, which could not dispel the anger of the masses.

"Hit! Beat! Pull me down and hit me! This official has been in politics for many years, and he has not been threatened by anyone, and even the people cannot stop this official from enforcing the law normally. Gao Sheng ignored the loss of control of the scene, and insisted on giving Lu Caiqing and the three of them a good look.

"Wait! Just because you've been in politics for many years doesn't mean you're a good official who is honest and honest! Before he could finish speaking, he saw a way out from behind the people, and another group of officers and soldiers opened the way, and two people came out from the middle.

The first one has a dignified body and a dignified appearance. A pair of eyes shot cold stars, and the two curved eyebrows were like paint. The chest is broad, with the majesty of being invincible, and he wears the same official uniform as the prefect Gao Sheng.

He was followed by a young man, handsome, with a carved face with distinct features, and an angular face that was unusually handsome. Lu Caiqing looked at the latter, how could he have a feeling of familiarity.
