Volume 1 Old Dreams Chapter 68 The road is uneven and roars
"Niangniang, why do you have to change men's clothes every time you go out of the palace!" Biyun asked.
"Because you are suave and handsome!" Tao Yaoyao flicked Biyun's face and said.
"Niangniang, if you do this again, I'll-" Biyun stared at a big-eyed little red face.
"What? Hahaha! Tao Xiaoxiao burst out laughing.
"The things are packed, are we still going out of the palace in a carriage?" Jasper interjected at this time.
"No, the carriage is too conspicuous to be followed. We're going to go! "Peach is in a happy mood.
Tao Yaoyao and the three of them went out of the palace lightly, Tao Yaoyao thought that he was walking silently, but in fact, some people have been paying attention.
Xuande Palace.
"Are you sure you're leaving?" It was Tao Ying who had been pretending to be sick for a few days who spoke, and it seemed that there was something sick about her, and her face was red and moist, but she was very healthy.
"Back to my mother's words, let's go." Bixia replied.
"That's good, let's go." Tao Ying commanded with a happy face.
"Yes." Bisha took one thing and withdrew.
"Tao Yao'er, this time I'll see how you get out! Ha ha! Tao Ying's long armor clasped tightly on the couch cushion and vented the hatred in her heart.
The main lord here was unconscious, and the three of them were happily wandering down the street.
"Childe, look at this! It's so beautiful! Biyun picked up a wooden comb.
"Childe! This lamp is so exquisite! "Jasper is also looking everywhere.
"Childe, there are a lot of people over there!" Biyun suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something lively ahead.
"Childe, let's go take a look." Jasper also wanted to check it out.
"Okay, you two will say a word, my head is about to explode! Don't talk, let's go see! Tao Yaoyao looked helpless.
"My lord! The women of the people are wronged! Ask the adults to be the masters of the people's women! A village woman dressed in coarse cloth knelt down at the door of the government and begged.
"Where did you come from, Lord Governor doesn't have time to care about your little things! Go, go, go! A short and thin servant hurried at the door.
"My lord! O Lord! The woman was on her knees on the ground.
"I didn't hear you when you left! If you don't leave, be careful to arrest you and cure you for making a big fuss in court! ”
"I-"
"Childe, didn't Lord Liang make a new system? Why is it that someone is not allowed to sue here? Biyun asked.
"Little girl, you don't know anything. Who would dare to sue? As long as these officials see someone who comes to complain, they will blow them away, and if they don't leave, they will be beaten away. Yesterday, an uncle came to sue the tax collector, and before the form could be stuffed in, his leg was broken. An enthusiastic uncle accosted.
"How can this be, doesn't Lord Liang know?"
"Who knows, these days, those who go to court to complain are not stealing chickens and dogs, or for a few pennies, and I haven't seen anyone who actually sues."
"These officials are so bold and reckless, is there any royal law?" Biyun said angrily.
"Girl, be quieter. Many of them are Lord Luo's people, and they have restrained a little in the past two days, and in the past two days, they said that Lord Luo would come back sooner or later, and they became arrogant again. Eh—" The uncle shook his head repeatedly.
"My lord, the women really have grievances! My lord, let me in! The woman knelt on the ground and kept prostrating.
"Good! Then tell me what grievances you have! Seeing that there were more people, the official asked mockingly.
"My lord, there were two days and three acres in the woman's house, and a few days ago, my father-in-law accidentally fell into the pond and drowned, leaving only the woman and a child who was not yet a week old. When the tax collector saw that my fatherless mother and widow had taken possession of my farmland, and that he would not hold me, the woman of the people, to death, he would threaten the child. The women of the people can only - my lord! Now my poor child is sick and dying! My lord! Help us! The woman said with tears streaming down her face, full of grief.
"What a thousand cuts!"
"It's so pathetic!"
"Huh-"
"Humph! What you said is only one side, maybe your husband was drowned by you on purpose, but he was discovered, and in order to cover his tongue, he promised the family property. Now, it's time to regret it again! A scoundrel like you, I want to see the Governor! Get out of here, or you're welcome! The servant raised his man's club fiercely.
"Bold!" Just as the official was about to fight, a loud roar restrained his movements.
"In broad daylight, there are very few people who are as strong as you, could it be that you are some relative of the tax collector, and use such scoundrel words to quibble!"
Tao Xiaoxiao walked out of the crowd, and saw that the officer's eyes were full of disgust, he just hated such a person, it was extremely shameless!
"What are you! Dare to disrupt official business! The officer was a little flustered.
"Humph! What kind of official business are you doing? "There is no trace of politeness.
"Boy, do you know where this is, there is a price to be paid for being presumptuous here. Take advantage of the good mood of the master today, hurry up! Be nosy! The official saw that Tao Yao was rich and powerful, and he didn't dare to say too much if he didn't know his identity.
"Oh? This son will take care of this idle matter today! Tao Xiaoxiao took another step forward and said firmly.
"You!" The officer was a little annoyed.
"The laws and regulations of Beigao are stipulated, and it is natural for the people to complain about their grievances in the Yamen, and those who are officials must not ignore them, they must not be detained without authorization, they must not have shelter, and they must not be tortured to extract confessions! Could it be that you have more face than this king's law? Tao Yaoyao laughed angrily.
"Good!"
"Well said!"
Some people around began to applaud.
"You're not a little daring, do you know who I am!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the official hurriedly resorted to threaten.
"Huh? Why do people always repeat this sentence to Ben Gongzi these days? Who you are, this son doesn't need to know! Don't want to know either! Tao Yao raised her eyebrows.
"Humph! I'm the niece of Lord Luo's cousin's brother! The official said proudly.
"Oh-it's the Locke who was confiscated-"
"It's Luo Chang, Lord Luo! The original governor of the city! The officer's eyes were red.
"A transferred governor can still make you so arrogant, I really admire and admire!" Tao Xiaoyao really admires.
"I'm telling you, Lord Luo will come back sooner or later! When the time comes, I will let you go around without food! "The servant was extremely arrogant.
"Oh, we're so scared!" Biyun pretended to be scared like that.
The people around burst into laughter.
"You!" The official pointed at Biyun and shouted.
"Who's making a noise at the door?" There was a person in the palace, it was Liang Gaoliang.
"Lord Liang, your government is really amazing, a government official can handle the case, and he doesn't even need evidence, it's really amazing!" Tao Yao teased.
It seems that Liang Gaoliang's situation is not very good, although the new system has been adopted, but the people below are two-faced, and they don't implement it at all, and it has not played a role so far.
"You-peach-"
"Hey-Lord Liang, this son is just a person who loves to fight and hold grievances, and he really can't look past it." Tao Xiaoyao saw that Liang Gaoliang was about to kneel down and salute, so he quickly interrupted.
"Childe is very right. What the hell is going on? Liang Gaoliang asked sharply. He naturally knew that Tao Xiaoyao didn't want to reveal his identity, so he didn't continue.
"My lord, that's the ......" Seeing that no one answered for a long time, a thin little official on the side gritted his teeth and stepped forward to explain.
Seeing that what he said was the truth, Tao Yaoyao stood still and did not speak.
"You're the head of the officer's team?" After listening to this, Liang Gaoliang asked the official expressionlessly.
"Back to the adult, the villain is exact." The official lost his arrogance.
"Why did you blow up the people who came to report to the police?" Liang Gaoliang still had no expression on his face.
"My lord, these people are here to make trouble on purpose. Adults are new to the city, I don't know, these people are very bad-hearted! The servant sneered.
"Oh? In that case, don't take it yet! Liang Gaoliang ordered loudly.
"Yes, my lord, the little one will arrest that woman, so as not to disturb the peace of the adult." The official looked happy and prepared to arrest someone.
"I mean take you down!" Liang Gaoliang explained lightly.
"What?!" The officer didn't react.
"From now on, you're the new leader! Don't take down this wicked deceitful man yet! When! Liang Gaoliang commanded the thin little servant who came up to explain.
"Yes! My lord! When the thin servant heard the order, he knocked the man to his knees.
"You! Do you know who I am? Wait for Lord Luo to come back, definitely! I'm going to put you all to death! The man was being dragged away and screaming.
"Childe, it's the first time I've seen such an arrogant person, Jasper!" Jasper said with a frown.
"......" Biyun didn't answer, she did meet some such people, but the process was not very pleasant, so she didn't want to talk about it.
"This eldest sister, you have suffered." Liang Gaoqiang personally helped the woman up.
"No, no, sir. I—" The woman looked flattered.
"Someone, invite someone in." Liang Gaoliang immediately commanded.
"Yes!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, the official said that although there are villains who are obstructing it, once they are discovered by the official, they will not be tolerated. From today onwards, the boxes will be guarded by the new team leader, and if any official does something that does not see the light of day, he will be beaten with forty boards at the least, and he will be imprisoned at the worst! Liang Gaoliang turned to the crowd around him and said.
"Is this true?" Seeing that things suddenly came to a big reversal, everyone was a little confused for a while.
"Pinch me quickly, it's really a blue sky master!"
"Oh, I've got to go back and talk to me!"
"Lord Qingtian!" The crowd fell to their knees and shouted.
"Everyone, hurry up, Liang can't stand it. Liang will definitely sentence this case and return your innocence! ”
"Thank you, sir!" The crowd was even more excited, kneeling and shouting.
Liang Gaoliang didn't even need an hour to find out the cause and effect of the matter. Sure enough, when the tax collector saw that the woman had become a widow, he saw that he wanted to make money, and wanted to let the widow obey him directly. The widow did not comply, so she threatened to kill her infant child, and the widow had no choice but to take the child and run out overnight. Who knew that the child suffered from the cold and had a high fever, and she was penniless and desperate to sue.
Liang Gaoliang was angry at that time, and asked people to bring the tax collector up, and it didn't take long to recruit him. One thing, Tao Yaoyao is really right, this tax collector is really a relative of the arrogant servant, or his cousin.
Liang Gaoliang ordered the tax collector to be beaten and put in prison, and then made a notice of the cause and effect of the incident and posted it at the door of the government office.
And that was the end of it.
