Chapter 022: Mutual Excitement
"Phew! You! The official with the knife came over and pointed at the old woman, "You want to shout to the yamen to beat the drum, today Lord Jiang has just arrived in Dongning, don't come to make trouble!" ”
The old woman opened her blindfolded eyes and begged: "Poor master, the old woman didn't come to make trouble on purpose, she really can't do it!" Ask the poor master to give him a way to live! ”
The girl also cried and begged: "Poor master, my mother has been imprisoned, and my brother is still breastfeeding, please give me a way to live!" ”
The two knelt down as they spoke, kowtowing vigorously.
Ordinary people have pity for the old and the weak, this old woman is not only old and blind, trembling to cry out for injustice, everyone saw it, first had sympathy, and saw the girl crying pitifully, can't help but feel unbearable.
Some villagers recognized their grandchildren and said, "Isn't this Granny Mi from Pujia Village?" Her daughter has been arrested for killing her husband! ”
"It's the one from Mitsuki Village, right? I heard that the daughter-in-law poisoned her father-in-law because of a quarrel. ”
"Come to Jiang Qingtian to shout injustice, won't you really be wronged?"
"That's not good. Granny Mi is the mother of the Napu family, and of course she speaks for her daughter. ”
"My aunt's house is in Sanshu Village, and she said that Pu is very filial on weekdays, but because of the late pigweed that day, she asked her father-in-law to say a few words. Poisoning my father-in-law for this little thing is too child's play, right? ”
"Yes, in the surrounding villages, who doesn't say that Pu is a good person? It's really not like someone who can poison his father-in-law. ”
As soon as the remarks were made, someone loudly pleaded for Granny Mi: "Poor master, their ancestors and grandchildren are really pitiful, so let's open the net, right?" ”
"That's right! Isn't Lord Jiang patrolling the world just to redress unjust cases and make decisions for the people? ”
"That's it, now that people are crying out for injustice, how can they get rid of it?"
Seeing Jiang Wenfeng's sedan chair in front of her, Granny Mi shouted in a mournful voice: "My lord, human life is at stake, please avenge the people's wife!" ”
In the tea house, Ming Hao's eyes widened: "Master Jiang will take it, right?" He is the master of the blue sky, and when he encounters someone shouting injustice, he can't ignore it, right? ”
Mingwei said: "If he doesn't care, the people will definitely be dissatisfied." ”
The scholar at the table also said this. But one of them sighed, "This is not good! Before Master Jiang entered the city, he tried an unjust case first, didn't he slap the Dongning officials in the face? He was ordered to patrol here, and if the local officials first had antagonistic feelings, it would be very difficult to understand the local situation. ”
"yes!" His companion echoed, "The people don't know the inside story, but we all know that it's not so easy to be a big man in the sky." It is necessary to make decisions for the people, but colleagues and subordinates must have a good relationship, otherwise, they will be constrained everywhere and will not be able to do anything. ”
Ming Hao heard it really and scratched his head: "Is that the case?" ”
Mingwei nodded: "What they said is right. ”
On the avenue, the official sedan chair really stopped.
Jiang Wenfeng lifted the curtain and explained a few words to the guards.
The guard came up and said, "Old man, please get up." Your family's case has already been adjudicated, and it must be reviewed according to the law. Adults are instructed to inspect and review local cases. Even if you don't cry out for injustice, this case will be tried by adults. ”
But Granny Mi refused to get up, grabbed the guard's hand, and begged bitterly: "My lord, the women don't dare to wait!" The women can wait, my daughter can't wait, my little grandson can't wait! Ask the adults to call the shots, and ask the adults to avenge their grievances. ”
The grandfather and grandson kowtowed one after another.
The guards had to reassure: "Don't worry, old man. Your Excellency has arrived in Dongning, and the government will be opened tomorrow, so you can go over then......"
But Granny Mi admitted to death and refused to get up.
Their ancestors refused to get up, and the official sedan chair couldn't leave, so the group stopped on the avenue.
At this time, an arrogant escort came from behind, raised his chin and asked, "Lord Jiang, Gongzi ordered me to ask when I can enter the city!" ”
A gentle voice came from the sedan chair: "There is a little unexpected incident when Mr. Lao waits, and the next official will solve it." ”
"Is the solution you are talking about here? How long will this be persuaded? The attendant's tone was cold and hard, "This way of sleeping in the open air, the prince has been going to you for the emperor's order, Lord Jiang." Now that they have arrived in Dongning, they can't take a break as soon as possible? ”
There was silence in the sedan chair for a while, and he replied: "It was my negligence." Lei Hong! ”
The guard responded: "My lord! ”
"You will bring this mother-in-law and her granddaughter back to the yamen together."
The guard was about to respond, when a young woman walked slowly behind him.
Looking at her dress and demeanor, she is not inferior to the daughter of a high-ranking family, but what she said is: "Master Jiang, the son ordered the slave and maid to tell you a word." ”
Jiang Wenfeng had to press it first: "Miss Ajuan, please speak." ”
The girl said in a flat tone: "Childe said, since you are known as the blue sky, you should be the master of the people." Since this woman claims to be wronged, you shouldn't be judged by the public and give her justice, how can you call Qingtian? ”
As soon as these words came out, some of the scholars at the table shook their folding fans angrily: "How can this be reasonable!" This is to force Lord Jiang to try the case in public! ”
Another said, "It's too much! This Yang Gongzi, I thought he should be a sensible person after he was loyal and good, but I didn't expect it to be the same as those people! What a silverfish! ”
"Shh One of his companions hurriedly stopped, "After all, after the royal family, you must not be too rude." ”
After persuading, he also shook his head and sighed: "Princess Mingcheng understands righteousness, why are her grandchildren so ......?"
Mingwei's brows frowned.
Is that really the case?
The people outside couldn't imagine so much, and they felt that Yang Gongzi, the maid, was right, so some people chimed in: "Yes! Lord Jiang, if they are really wronged, is tomorrow's trial different from today's trial? ”
"Yes, yes, why bother with their old women and weak women to run again?"
"That's right, that's right."
With the momentum, it is easy to press again.
The prefect opened the sedan curtain, came down and arched his hand: "Lord Jiang, since the people have a request, you can try it for the first time." The case was reported by Yongping County, and the lower officials had already read the file and could not find any mistakes. If there is really an injustice, you can identify it, so as not to judge the next unjust case and leave a stain in the future. ”
As soon as he said this, a sigh came from the sedan chair.
The people shouted, and the prefect spoke like this, Jiang Wenfeng had no other choice.
The curtain of the sedan car was lifted, and he also got out of the sedan car.
But seeing this Lord Jiang, he is much younger than everyone imagined. He was eighteen years old in high school, has been an official for more than ten years, and is exactly thirty this year. However, his face is fair and handsome, and he looks only in his twenties, which is a generation younger than the prefect.
Mingwei looked at it twice and said "huh".
This Lord Jiang, in addition to the inherent literary atmosphere of a scholar, also has an unexplained aura of pure spirit.
"Seventh sister, do you also think this Master Jiang is well-born?" Ming Xiang was full of interest, "I thought that Yang Gongzi wouldn't get out of the car, so we came here in vain today!" I didn't expect this Master Jiang to be so good-looking, today is really the right place! ”
Over there, Jiang Wenfeng opened his mouth in the eyes of many expectations: "This official has received the grace of the Holy Grace, and it is his duty to inspect all prefectures and fill in the gaps. Originally, all cases should be treated equally and tried together after the opening of the government. However, it was not easy for them to be old and weak, and the prefect asked for help, so they had to try the first instance first. Lei Hong. ”
"The subordinates are here."
Jiang Wenfeng pointed to the tea house: "You go and borrow a place from the store to ask about the case." ”
"Yes."
The store had already been alarmed, Jiang Qingtian was asking about the case in his own tea house, how could he not allow such a famous thing, and immediately responded.
