Chapter 27: Sue to Dali Temple!
Immediately after that, Meng Ling also expressed his attitude one after another, without exception, expressing his dissatisfaction with Zhao Qiutang.
"Don't worry, since you testify, I will definitely protect you from being bullied to you." Mo Qingyu assured everyone.
Everyone already knew Mo Qingyu's identity from Meng Lingyi, and they were very convinced by Mo Qingyu's words in their hearts.
Although Mu Lingyun, the king of You, is violent, but because he is the god of war of Xichen Kingdom, his prestige in the hearts of the people is still very high.
This is also the fact that even Mo Qingyu, the princess of You, is also loved by the people at the bottom, not to mention exposing villains like Zhao Qiutang, they are even more active.
Ling'er didn't report her name when she went door-to-door to inquire before, so they didn't want to get into unnecessary trouble.
But this time is different, because of Princess You's guarantor, they are still willing to take a risk.
It's death at the beginning, and it's death to endure it, in case this time you follow Princess You, and defeat the wicked.
Most of them borrowed money from Zhao Qiutang out of necessity, originally thinking that they would be able to repay the money they borrowed soon, as long as the interest was not too excessive, they could afford it.
Who knew that Zhao Qiutang had a land/money village and raised a group of very strong thugs, but it was not good to pay back the money, and the profits were rolling higher and higher, making them ordinary people miserable.
And these people rely on having backers behind them, and they go to their homes to smash and rob at home at two ends in three days, and they don't want people to live at all.
After Mo Qingyu learned about these things, he couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart.
After all, there are usury things in modern times, and there are a lot of land/money banks, but because the state cracks down, no one dares to do so much, after all, it is a country under the rule of law, a civilized society, and there is a law on it, and ordinary people will not work against the laws of the country.
Although there were restrictions on this aspect in ancient times, as long as the officials above were fed, then they were a little unscrupulous in their actions.
Not only that, but the ancient laws were not strong enough, so many people dared to commit crimes against the wind, which also caused the people to suffer.
Mo Qingyu asked Meng Ling to take everyone to Dali Temple to complain.
"Why don't we look for Jingzhao Mansion?" Questions were raised.
Meng Ling also asked the same question, and Mo Qingyu told him some of the things he investigated.
Now that Meng Ling also heard someone ask this, he didn't have to wait for Mo Qingyu to explain, so he slowly explained: "Jingzhao Mansion is afraid that it is not clean, so we naturally have to find someone who can really make decisions for us." ”
Some smart people immediately understood that the reason why Zhao Qiutang was so arrogant was because he colluded with the government.
Those who didn't understand saw that no one spoke up, and they didn't dig deeper, since they were looking for someone who could call the shots, the more powerful the better.
Mo Qingyu did not follow everyone to Dali Temple, but took Ling'er to mix in the crowd.
Later, he asked the people from Youwangfu to follow Meng Lingyi, just in case, to protect these witnesses from harm.
After all, this is an important witness to the death of Zhao Qiutang, if something happens, wouldn't this time be in vain.
Meng Ling also took a group of people to the street, because there were people from Youwangfu to escort them, these people arrived at Dali Temple very smoothly, and Meng Ling also picked up a drumstick and beat the drum of injustice.
Meng Lingyi and others did not hide it, so the momentum along the way was huge, and all the unknown onlookers gathered at the gate of Dali Temple to watch the excitement.
The drums of Dali Temple sounded, which immediately attracted the attention of the officials of Dali Temple.
Liao Quan, the young secretary of Dali Temple, was looking at the recent file with his colleagues, and suddenly heard someone beating the drum, and suddenly came to his senses: "What's the matter?" ”
The following people immediately came to report: "My lord, there is a group of people outside who say that they are coming to report to the official. ”
The master of Dali Temple beside Liao Quan was helping him sort out the files, and when he heard that someone came to report to the official, he couldn't help but say: "If the people report to the official, they will go to Jingzhao Mansion, how can they find our Dali Temple?" ”
"The lower officials don't know, and I ask the adults to decide."
Liao Quan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, nodded after hearing this: "Since you are here, let's go and have a look, not everyone can come to Dali Temple." ”
There was a lot of noise in front of Dali Temple, and I didn't know what I was talking about.
At this moment, I don't know who shouted: "Lord Liao is here!" ”
The movement at the door instantly dimmed.
Mo Qingyu stood in the crowd, looking at the person who came was dressed in a red official mansion, embroidered with winged geese on his chest, and was upright.
With just one glance, Mo Qingyu knew who was coming.
I have long heard that Shaoqing of Dali Temple is a decent person and does things with a clear look, but he is not rigid, but he has also offended many people.
Being able to stand in this position and be able to mix well in the officialdom, Mo Qingyu knew that this person was not simple.
Seeing that the person who came was Liao Quan, Mo Qingyu also had a few more points in his heart.
It stands to reason that it is indeed not enough to report the report to Dali Temple, but now that Jingzhao Mansion and Zhao Qiutang are in cahoots, then this is not just a simple matter of Zhao Qiutang's land/money village.
The Beijing officials at the feet of the Son of Heaven were in the company of the wicked, not only did they not seek justice for the people, but instead did something to harm the people, which really made my heart sigh.
At this time, Meng Ling also saw Liao Quan walking towards him, and immediately led everyone to bow to Liao Quan: "The grass people knock to see your lord." ”
Liao Quan looked at the noisy crowd outside, and his expression was a little bad.
Their Dali Temple is a place to handle cases, but it is not for people to see the excitement.
"Let's talk about something in there." Liao Quan thought about getting people to Dali Temple now, after all, there were too many people outside, and the noise gave him a headache.
When Meng Ling heard this, he immediately remembered Mo Qingyu's explanation, and he must shake out Zhao Qiutang's affairs in front of everyone, after all, it is not easy to say whether there is anyone in Dali Temple who is in cahoots with Zhao Qiutang, and it is very likely that something will happen when he enters Dali Temple.
So, Meng Ling also gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground and did not get up, and directly handed the written pleadings and the list of them to Liao Quan.
Later, in front of the Dali Temple, in front of everyone, Liao Quan told Liao Quan how Zhao Qiutang bullied the people and deliberately increased the interest rate on loans, forcing the people to sell their sons and daughters.
The crowd of onlookers on the side couldn't help but start spitting on this Zhao Qiutang when they heard such a thing.
Liao Quan, who was originally a little unhappy when he saw Meng Ling also kneeling on the ground, also felt a little disdainful in his heart when he heard about this Zhao Qiutang's evil deeds.
It is unreasonable for such a person to do so many evil things and no one cares about it, and then he thought that these people actually sued Dali Temple instead of Jingzhao Mansion, and seemed to understand something.
After a while, the crowd of onlookers began to discuss.
"Who is this Zhao Qiutang?"
"yes, who is this man?"
Immediately, some people who knew about it began to say: "It seems to be the big shopkeeper of the Silk Garden Dyeing Workshop." ”
"So I have the impression that someone in my family is still working there!"
"I didn't expect such a famous shopkeeper as Sixiuyuan to be such a person, I really know people and faces!"
"But no, I don't want to use the things from the Silk Garden Dyeing Workshop anymore, who knows if it will be stained with blood."
There are not a few people who think so, and many people even want to go to Sixiuyuan to throw rotten vegetable leaves.
Although Mo Qingyu thought that it would damage Si Xiuyuan's reputation, it was within an acceptable range if it was not broken or established.
After all, if you want to take over the Sixiuyuan Dyeing Workshop, you must bring Zhao Qiutang to justice, which can also save some of Sixiuyuan's reputation to a certain extent.
Liao Quan, who was on the side, learned that this was not a simple matter of making money, so he motioned Meng Ling and others to enter Dali Temple to discuss in detail.
Meng Ling also heard the discussion of the onlookers, and knew that his goal had been achieved, so he did not hesitate and walked into Dali Temple with people.
The people of Youwangfu got Mo Qingyu's orders, so they naturally accompanied Meng Lingyi and others into Dali Temple.
After Liao Quan understood the cause and effect, he knew that this was not something he could solve alone.
The people of Youwang's Mansion followed, and they became a little interested in these Youwang Princesses, who had been in the limelight for a while.
This is also about the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it seems that he has to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Subsequently, Liao Quan asked people to properly settle Meng Lingyi and others, after all, these are witnesses, but nothing can happen.
Mo Qingyu saw that his goal had been achieved, and he no longer stayed.
At this moment, Qing'er suddenly appeared.
"What?" Mo Qingyu asked.
"Song Baoquan just wanted to run, but I found out and caught him." Qing'er replied respectfully.
Mo Qingyu raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't expect this person to get the news so quickly: "Where is the person now?" ”
"I'm locked up in the stables of the Jingmen Inn." Qing'er replied.
In the past few days, she has been keeping an eye on Song Baoquan's movements, and as soon as Zhao Qiutang's matter broke out today, she saw him secretly trying to lead the horse outside the city with a burden.
Qing'er immediately knocked the person unconscious and threw him in the stable.
Mo Qingyu nodded: "Let's go, let's take a look." ”
Qing'er took a bucket of cold water and splashed it directly on Song Bao's body.
Song Baoquan came to his senses in an instant, looked at Mo Qingyu in front of him, and was so frightened that he immediately got up and wanted to escape.
However, he was kicked hard by Qing'er behind him, and Song Baoquan lay face down on the ground, grinning his teeth and not daring to move.
"What's wrong with Shopkeeper Song?" Mo Qingyu looked at him with a smile.
Song Baoquan looked at Mo Qingyu with a smug face, and was angry in his heart.
Looking at Song Baoquan's luggage left aside, Mo Qingyu's expression changed: "Shopkeeper Song wants to leave?" Could it be that Shopkeeper Song has already filled in the black accounts he has done over the years? ”
"I don't have any money!" Song Baoquan said with blood on his face.
"No money?" Mo Qingyu didn't believe it, "I heard that the shopkeeper Song has been doing a lot of things recently, and he has borrowed money, doesn't it mean that he wants to repay the money?" ”
Song Baoquan was suddenly shocked.
originally thought that he was doing things very secretly, but he didn't expect them all to be discovered by Mo Qingyu.
"You...... How do you know? Song Baoquan didn't know what to say for a while.
He was planning to run away, and he borrowed the money in the name of the Jingmen Inn, even if he ran away and found someone to repay the money, he was also looking for the Jingmen Inn, and he had nothing to do with Song Baoquan.
