Chapter 16: The Law of the Father
The carriage of the Inscription Divisions Guild arrived, but the direction they left was to drive towards the Danshi Guild. President Lu looked sluggish, and if he was not sent to the Danshi Union for diagnosis and treatment in time, it was likely to cause mental disorders and Alzheimer's disease.
"Uncle, it looks like He Jiayuan. On the surface, the injury was not light, but it did not hurt the bones, and his life should be fine. Do you want someone to be sent to the hospital right away?"
Where He Jiayuan landed, no one dared to approach except Xia Yuxian and Xia Hulang.
The light blue robe wrapped around He Jiayuan's body had been dyed purple by the blood that flowed out. The nose and mouth did not spurt blood outward, and the bones of the two legs seemed to be not lightly injured, and there were no signs of movement. Weak breathing and the wriggling of fingers marked the fact that the man was still alive.
"Do you think the guy in your store has the ability to hurt him like this?"
Xia Hulang's interrogation was very meaningful, not the guy in the store, but the nursing home in the store.
The duty of the nursing home is to ensure the safety of the house. The two had a conflict, and if it was a private matter, it had nothing to do with Baicaotang. If it is a business matter, it must be He Jiayuan's behavior that endangers the safety of Baicaotang, as long as he does not die, at most one sentence will be sentenced to excessive protection.
"Let's go see what's going on?" Xia Hulang not only did not feel troubled, but felt that his whole body was full of fighting spirit, and as long as he was excited, he would achieve a breakthrough.
.......
When Xia Hulang and Xia Yuxian entered the Hundred Grass Hall, a scene appeared in front of them after the natural disaster.
The vending hall was littered with fragments of the wooden floor, and in the center of the hall was a two-foot-square pit, the floor around the pit was gone, and the earthy pit was filled with blood. Looking up from the bright light around the pit, there is a hole in the roof where you can see the blue sky and white clouds.
Liu Qiaoyun and a few guys were cleaning up the magic weapons scattered around the counter, and Liu Hong was still thinking about the harvest of this battle with his eyes closed.
"Liu Gongzi! It turns out that Xia Hulang and Shopkeeper Xia are also there. You can already see the military horses of the city guards on the official road, do you want to avoid it for a while?"
"What to avoid? This is not a barracks, it's my Xia family's property. I want to see if He Junmen dares to demolish our Xia family's Baicao Hall!"
Xia Hulang was the first to turn around and walk out of the door with an expressionless face, he wanted to ask He Junmen in person, whose world is Yanhai City, and is there any royal law?
............
There were at least 300 cavalry behind He Junmen, armor glowing with bronze glow, bright military broadswords, and trees on both sides of the official road to make a sluggish sound. In front of He Junmen were 200 leading pioneers, and at this time, they had already discovered He Jiayuan, who was surrounded by a group of martial arts disciples on the side of the official road.
"Disperse the crowd and let Danshi heal immediately!" He Junmen, who got the report from the former army, was very decisive.
In addition to Dan Disciple, Dan Craftsman, Dan Master, and Dan Zun..... These levels are also divided into alchemists who specialize in refining the pills that cultivators must have, and those who can treat people, analyze pathologies, and prepare pills for symptoms. Therefore, each city guard barracks is equipped with a Wendan division.
He Gongzi's internal organs were shocked and his legs were broken, but he was not worried about his life. After half a year of adjustment, you can return to the status quo. Danshi quickly diagnosed the results.
He Junmen, who did not see He Jiayuan's current situation with his own eyes, could still remain calm, and when the front army automatically divided into two columns to make way for the road, he saw He Jiayuan, whose face was deformed, his breathing was like nothing, and the blood stained a large area of official road, He Junmen's eyes couldn't help but redden. When, my son of He Binglun, will it be someone else's turn to teach him a lesson?
"The former army obeys the order! surround Baicaotang and arrest the murderer!"
The official road is not far from Baicaotang, and the cavalry can surround Baicaotang with just one charge. The two centurions who received the order raised their big knives in their hands and faced directly at Baicaotang. At this time, Xia Hulang led Xia Yuxian to appear in front of the team.
"Surround Baicaotang? I don't know what happened to our Baicaotang, and we are going to be seized by the city guards? Even if we really commit crimes, aren't there still legal yamen? I haven't been notified, and the city guards can handle the case instead of the law yamen!"
Xia Hulang just glanced at He Junmen and turned his head to look around.
In this situation, where do the masses dare to watch closely, all hiding under a tree or by the concierge of a certain shop to pay attention to the development of the situation. Xia Hulang suddenly shouted, and the passionate words reached everyone's ears:
"Dear residents of Yanhai City, we are all subjects under the rule of the Emperor of the Jinpeng Dynasty, we are bound by the laws and regulations of the Jinpeng Dynasty, and the rights and wrongs of our actions can only be judged by the Law Yamen. Is it that the sky has changed now, or is it that the city protectors are going to rebel?"
"Haha! Xia Hulang's words are biased! It is not the city guards who want to rebel, but the city guards under He Junmen's rule who want to rebel. Lao Lin, I received this news and urgently packed up my people to stop He Junmen from making such a mistake of cutting down all the doors. ”
Opposite He Junmen, with this ridicule, countless black dots turned into cavalry. In front of hundreds of men and horses, there was Lin Junmen of the West Gate Protector who had just spoken, and he led his soldiers and horses to hold the reins at a distance of thirty zhang from He Junmen.
.........
Iwakai Castle was close to the gate of the Law Yamen of the City Lord's Mansion, and it suddenly became lively. These groups of threes, threes, twos, and twos getting together to whisper will definitely attract more do-gooders.
"Brother Tai, what happened to him? Why are so many city guards guarding the gate of the Law Yamen? I seem to have seen Xia Hulang, what is the shopkeeper? It can't be that these two families have clashed!"
"It's worse than the conflict between the two families. The third son of the He family was beaten half-paralyzed by the Baicaotang Nursing Hospital, and it is not a big deal that ......he can't take care of himself?
Without the city lord's orders and the approval token of the ordinance yamen, the city guards could not enter the city at all. He Junmen, who had already violated the rules, would become out of control if he clashed with Lin Junmen on the other side. He could only compromise and agree to go to court.
There are very few public officials in the Law Yamen, except for the presiding judge Fa Cao, the two prosecutors who are responsible for collecting and verifying evidence, there are only 8 arresters under the leadership of the chief and deputy arresters.
There are several specific procedures for resolving disputes through the Law Yamen. First of all, the drum should be sounded at the door of the yamen, and then the guard standing at the door should hand the pleadings to the doorman, and the guards will send the pleadings into the yamen, and within half an hour, they will come out to inform the complainant whether they will be tried in court or on a later day.
The yamen is open on both sides, and there is no reason to come in without money. There are two drums at the door of the law yamen, and if you pay 10 taels of gold to ring the big drum, it means that you want the yamen to be tried in a criminal case, and if you pay 5 taels of gold to ring the small drum, it means that you want the yamen to accept a civil dispute.
The Law Yamen did not collect money in this way, because there was only one chief judge in the Yamen, and if a certain threshold was not set, he would not be so busy every day that he could not land on his hands and feet.
Today's situation is special, and the victim is the third son of the He family. Therefore, after He Zhengkun paid and beat the drum, he did not submit the pleadings and let He Jiayuan carry him into the legal yamen.
Lin Ming, who was very curious about the whole incident, pulled Shang Wanhe and asked Liu Hong about the ins and outs of the matter along the way. Even Shang Wanhe, who didn't take He Fan's family in his eyes, had to admire Liu Hong's courage:
"In the face of the two major families, you can empty the white wolf and earn more than a million taels of gold out of thin air. Do I mean to praise you for your boldness, or do I mean that you don't know how to know the sky? If you can get out of this, I will definitely convince the family to advertise in your newspaper. ”
Under my leadership, "Yanhaidi Paper" will certainly become a sharp weapon for rectifying the social atmosphere and supervising the rule of law. The prosperity of commerce, the revival of martial arts, and the narrowing of the gap between the two classes are the aims of our newspaper. ”
Lin Ming wanted to know what the two major classes in Liu Hong's mouth were. Is it the bureaucratic class and the plebeian class? Or are there the rich and the commoners?
