Chapter 163 The following offenses shall be punished with sticks
At this moment, outside the Criminal Department, many pedestrians have gathered. Seeing that this old man and young man actually came to the Criminal Department to avenge their grievances, these people were naturally a little curious.
And when everyone heard what the old man said that the person who complained this time was actually Wei Yuan, the current head of the household department, everyone's faces showed a look of horror.
Even the catcher who originally wanted to leave couldn't help but be stunned at this moment, stopped, and then turned to look at the old man.
"Do you know what you're talking about, old fellow? The Wei Yuan in your mouth is the secretary of my court, and the person you want to sue is sure that he is the one who is going to sue him? ”
Hearing this, the old man nodded heavily.
Seeing this situation, he realized the seriousness of the situation. Suing the court from a first-class official, this is a big deal.
As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials. But now, this old man, who has reached the twilight of his life, has done such a crime, and it is a little difficult to catch him.
But looking at the crowd of people outside who were talking, if he drove the grandfather and grandson away, it would inevitably be considered that he was protecting the officials and officials, and after some consideration, the arrest was helpless, so he could only bring the grandfather and grandson into the criminal department.
And at the moment when the grandfather and grandson entered the criminal department, among the crowd of onlookers, an old man in a brocade suit left here with a solemn face.
Within the Criminal Department.
Bringing the grandfather and grandson to the court, the catcher quickly asked the two to wait here, and he went to invite the adults to come.
At the same time, the Wei Mansion.
Wei Yuan, who had just finished attending the court meeting from the palace, returned home in a carriage.
Today's Wei Yuan can be said to be in a good mood, because this mission to Beiyan has contributed to closer cooperation between Beiyan and the Dawu Dynasty, and Li Deyi has personally commended him in the court.
And just when Wei Yuan returned to the back of the house, the old man in a black robe hurriedly walked from outside, and the moment he saw Wei Yuan, he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a panicked face: "Master, something is wrong!" The old slave passed by the Criminal Department and saw two old and young people who claimed to be from the closed city, saying that they wanted to sue the master! ”
"Master, do you think they are here for the destruction of the Lu family ten years ago?"
And this black-shirted old man is the housekeeper of the Wei Mansion!
"What did you say!"
Wei Yuan, who was originally in a good mood, heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he suddenly stood up and exclaimed.
"What you said is true?"
The butler nodded hurriedly.
"It's broken, it's broken, it looks like the people in Jianyulou have missed."
After speaking, Wei Yuan's whole body was weak, and he instantly collapsed on the chair.
"Master, don't be impatient! Although these two people are from the lockdown city, but the people who knew about that incident back then have already been wiped out by us, even if they came for this matter, they have no evidence that it was the master's doing. ”
The housekeeper hurriedly sighed with relief.
"Hey, how can there be an impermeable wall in this world, paper can't keep the fire, what if these two people really have evidence? But at that time, whether it is the old man or the entire Wei family, it will be ruined! ”
"No! The old man has finally achieved what he is today, and he must not sit still! You go to the Criminal Department right now, find Xi Xiangyu, and ask him to suppress this matter for me! Ma Wenjin must not be allowed to know about this! ”
Wei Yuan hurriedly said.
In Wei Yuan's opinion, Xi Xiangyu is a secret chess piece planted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the Criminal Department, and if he has something to do with the princelings, if this matter is handed over to Xi Xiangyu for trial, it will be much easier to do.
"Yes, the old slave will go to Lord Xi!"
After speaking, the housekeeper did not hesitate, and immediately left the Wei Mansion and went to the Criminal Department.
At this moment, within the Criminal Department.
When he found Xi Xiangyu and informed the court that two people from the city had come up, saying that they were going to sue Wei Yuan, Xi Xiangyu couldn't help but feel confused.
"You said that the person they want to sue is Wei Yuan, the current head of the household department?"
Xi Xiangyu asked,
"Exactly! Lord Xi, this matter is very important, if it is tried in court, I am afraid that there is something inappropriate, and this matter Lord Xi must also deal with him before Master Ma returns to the Criminal Department, otherwise with Lord Ma's character, I am afraid that the matter told by the two will be thoroughly investigated, and I am afraid that there will be some trouble. ”
Catch said with a solemn face.
Xi Xiangyu nodded, lowered his head and pondered, and after a while, Xi Xiangyu's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of a good way, and immediately stood up.
"Let's go, ascend!"
……
Mighty......
In the hall of the criminal department, the two sides of the arresters kept knocking on the ground with killing sticks in their hands, and the atmosphere of the entire public hall suddenly became majestic.
Above, Xi Xiangyu was sitting in danger, and the grandfather and grandson knelt down in fear, and they didn't dare to raise their heads.
Syllable!
As the startling wood fell in Xi Xiangyu's hand, the grandfather and grandson immediately shook their bodies, and at the same time, Xi Xiangyu also spoke at this moment.
"Who's kneeling down there?"
Xi Xiangyu asked.
"The grass people sealed the city, Lu Zuo and his grandson Lu Ming have seen the Qingtian Lord!"
"Lockdown people? Since you are the people of the closed city, why did you come to the Criminal Department to complain? Do you know that you have violated the laws of my Dawu Dynasty! ”
"What's more, this official heard that the person you are suing is the current head of the household department, Wei Yuanwei, the civil prosecutor, do you know what the consequences will be?"
Xi Xiangyu opened his mouth with intimidating intent, but things were similar to what Xi Xiangyu said.
According to the laws of the Dawu Dynasty, if the people sue the officials, especially the ministers of the court, they must first be punished with 20 military battles for the officials who report to the officials.
When the old man heard this, he immediately nodded, and the old man naturally knew what crime he had committed.
"Good! Since you know the laws of my Dawu Dynasty, then this official will not say much. Come! ”
After finishing speaking, Xi Xiangyu knocked on the shocking wood again, and the two of them immediately walked out of the two of them with the killing rod in their hands.
"Come on, pull these two out, and hit the twenty military sticks first!"
As soon as Xi Xiangyu finished speaking, the two catchers immediately stepped forward and took the grandfather and grandson out of the court, and after a while, two screams came from outside.
Twenty military sticks.
Those vicious villains probably can't bear this matter, let alone the old man and the young man who are over half a year old.
In just a few breaths, the originally terrible scream came to an abrupt end, and Xi Xiangyu in the public hall couldn't help but have a sneer on his face when he saw this.
And at this moment, the arrester in charge of the execution ran in from outside and said to Xi Xiangyu: My lord! The grandfather and grandson failed to bear the punishment and are already dead......"
"Dead?"
Catcher nodded.
"If you die, you will die, this official is just acting according to the laws of my Dawu Dynasty, all of this is their life!"
After speaking, Xi Xiangyu stood up and wanted to turn around and leave.
And after taking two steps, Xi Xiangyu stopped, turned to look at the catcher in the public hall and said, "Today's matter, don't mention it in front of Master Ma." Also, find a place to bury the bodies of the grandfather and grandson. ”
After instructing these things, Xi Xiangyu left with confidence.
