Chapter 129: Passing Through the Hall (Part II)
When the leakage sounded, Yiji cautiously glanced at the young man sitting behind the imperial case.
"He" was reading an excerpt.
The warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace is not as quiet as before, and in the main hall outside, the female official Gao Wanxin is leading the female officials to sort out the case files, occasionally making a rustling sound.
The tea on the royal case stopped steaming a moment ago.
A chicken carefully picked up the teacup, intending to replace the cooler tea inside with a hot one.
"You don't have to pour this tea."
One hand went straight to the teacup from a chicken's hand, and a chicken's eyes followed, and he saw the emperor drink the warm tea in the teacup.
"The earth dragon in the warm pavilion is hot, and the warm tea is better."
"Slave maid, let's go find two celadon urns and put them in the warm pavilion, okay?"
"Don't bother." Shen Shiqing put aside the fold in his hand, "Raise two pots of daffodils on Duobaoge, the variety doesn't have to be good, go to the flower market outside to find two pots of single-petaled daffodils, the pots don't have to be expensive, just find two oval blue and white urns and put a few pebbles."
Today's emperor is so elegant, and the taste is very high, the famous calligraphy and paintings, gold and stone rubbings, and even the inscriptions on the bronze toys hanging everywhere in the palace can say a thing or two, and occasionally instruct them to clean up the house, how to furnish, how to match the color are very orderly.
In the past, the emperor never took these things to heart, but he liked all kinds of luxury toys, there must be more gems, and there must be more pearls and large brocades......
His gaze swept from the now elegant and extraordinary warm pavilion, and a chicken bowed his waist deeper:
"The emperor can rest assured, the slave and maid will do it properly."
"I've always been relieved of your work, let alone such a trivial matter."
Watching a chicken refill her cup with tea, her fingers tapped lightly on the table: "Then Wu Chongmin is still in the hands of Jinyiwei?"
"Back to the emperor, exactly, under the pretext of guarding against the assassin's return, he has been sending people to keep an eye on it."
"Nothing has happened these days?"
"Back to the emperor, Wu Chongmin sent people to contact the Bai family who wanted to kill Shi Xinmei several times, but they were stopped by Jinyiwei, in addition, Wu Chongmin has a concubine who has always wanted to make clothes."
"Have you checked that clothing shop?"
"I've detained everyone up and down the shop and examined it carefully, but there's nothing out of the ordinary. I also checked the regular customers who frequented the shop."
Yiji took out a few thin pieces of paper from his body: "There are more than 70 in total, and the contacts of each family have also been investigated."
Shen Shiqing took it and took a look, and his eyes froze for a moment on a few lines of words.
"This Sun family used to be a servant of the Ning'an Mansion."
"Back to the emperor, exactly."
Yiji lowered his head and carefully calculated, the silk Zhuangzi frequented by Wu Chongmin's concubine was also a time-honored brand on Gulou Street, if His Majesty hadn't been staring at this matter, Jinyiwei would not have spent a lot of effort to check out every guest who had come in the past three months.
Yanjing City is full of dignitaries and dignitaries, and if you want to say that you are rich, this Sun family is naturally not counted.
What the emperor is staring at now is the Ning Anbo Mansion behind the Sun family.
"The Wu family doesn't have to keep an eye on it." Hearing the emperor say this, Yiji raised his head. ….
"A thousand households who have lost their arms, where is it so valued by Jinyiwei? It's just a waste that can't even keep its official body."
Looking at each other, a chicken hurriedly lowered his head again.
"Yes, my lord, the slave will definitely do this well."
The bird that gets into the net will pretend to be dead, and it will struggle only if it thinks that there is a hole in the net.
A chicken bent his waist deep again.
"I remember yesterday when the four rats sent a message saying that the Shen clan was going to pass the hall today?"
"If you go back to the emperor, it is exactly, look at the hour, it should have begun."
"Hmm. The ladies are going to sit in and listen."
"It's gone."
"Okay." Shen Shiqing picked up another book.
A chicken thinks for a moment, small
He said heartily, "Emperor, this time the three divisions will be tried, and Zhuo Shilang of the Criminal Department is only afraid...... Why don't you go and give an order? lest Shen Niangzi be wronged."
"Do you think Zhuo Shengquan is mean and famous, and is good at drilling camps and not caring for the people?" Shen Shiqing smiled, lowered her eyes and looked at the fold in front of her, and her voice seemed to be beating on the jade chime blown by the north wind.
"Since such a person has climbed to the position of the squire of the Criminal Department, it is natural to use him."
"Yes, slave and maid talk."
A little cold sweat trickled down the back of his head and into his collar.
A chicken stood beside the imperial case and listened to His Majesty say slowly:
"Sharp blades are loved by everyone, but only those who are injured by sharp blades know the pain."
Another leak.
Shen Shiqing picked up the red pen on the side and drew a cross on the fold.
"The blade you forged yourself naturally has to be broken by your own hands to be interesting."
"The girl's reputation is now broken."
Through a curtain, Ah Chi could clearly hear how her girl was scolding, her eyes were black, and she almost fainted.
Tunan held her up.
Ah Chi grabbed her sleeve for a while before she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Our girl insults the waiter of the criminal department, in the future, in the future, ...... in the future."
"After passing this level, there will be later."
As he spoke, Tunan exchanged another glance with a woman standing beside him.
The woman opened her mouth and whispered, "If we hadn't been forced to be in a hurry, what a gentle person our girl is."
It seems to be crying and sighing, and people are not sad to listen to.
When she said this, Ah Chi was even more sad, and her knees were weak and she almost fell into her arms:
"Sister Chuiyun, why is our girl's life so bitter!"
The woman patted Ah Chi on the shoulder and said nothing.
Above the lobby, Zhao Surui frowned coldly at the men.
The faces of the three interrogators were different, Shi Wence was only a little surprised, but in the end, he had traveled south and north for many years, and he had heard even more ugly ones, but he was just amazed that the niece of the Shen family was really explosive.
Du Feiqin raised a hand and covered his face with his sleeve.
Only Zhuo Shengquan, whose face turned black in purple, was obviously extremely angry.
"Someone! The following offenders and insulted the court officials, the Shen family! Call me! Beat! Scolding the officials above the fifth grade, the rod is eighty! Hit!"
The left and right officials looked at each other, and then looked at Shi Wence, who was really talking about in this procuratorate.
Seeing Shi Wence nodded:
"According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, insulting the officials of the court will indeed be punished with a rod." ….
Several officials approached, and Zhao Surui was not afraid, still staring at Zhuo Shengquan with his eyes.
"Anyway, one sentence of scolding is also eighty rods, and ten sentences of scolding are also eighty rods, I simply said enough! Zhuo Sheng Quan! As a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, you opened your mouth and closed your mouth about "Da Yonglu", but when you tried the case, all you thought about was male thieves and female prostitutes! Whether a person is guilty or not is judged not by what he has done, but first by whether he is a man or a woman! If it is a man, even if he is a great sin, you will exonerate him! If you are a woman, you are obviously a victim but you have an extra layer of sin in your eyes! Where are you judging? You are just using the righteousness of "Da Yong Law" to cover up your rotten filth! So dare to call the mirror hanging? You might as well look in the mirror and see if you're missing something! Etiquette, righteousness and shame have long been thrown thousands of miles away!"
"You keep saying "Da Yong Law", "Da Yong Law" says that killing Hu Hui and other scoundrels is only a rod of seventy, a year and a half, and he is guilty of murder, what about you? Do you care? No! All you know is staring at a woman who has been wronged and watched the death of someone close to you, and you say that she is a concubine with the person who bullied her!"
"That uncle of Hu Hui has saved people several times, and always connived at him behind him, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an accomplice, why have you ever opened your mouth to talk about his crimes?"
Zhuo Shengquan's qi and blood were surging, his eyes were black, and he was almost about to faint, he hammered his chest and shouted:
"What are you waiting for! Cover him in the mouth!"
Hit and fight!
Zhao Surui sneered, after this beating, he must let Zhuo Shengquan's nine clans change!
A few steps away, the officials had already set up the stools for execution.
"Zhuo Shengquan, Zhuo Lord, Zhuo Shilang! You can't refute a word except with torture instruments? Did I really get every word right? Lord Shi, you must send someone to Yizhuang to see the body of Na Hu Hui, and be careful that he becomes a dish for others to accompany wine!"
The two officials restrained Zhao Surui, and he didn't resist, Pei Feng wanted to stop him, but he stopped him with his eyes.
"It's worth it!" After speaking, he smiled and looked at Bai Yindi, who was already in tears on the ground.
"What are you crying about, you should laugh, you ......"
Zhao Surui was about to say something bold to Bai Yindi, but saw Bai Yindi's body suddenly twist and lie on the ground:
"Your Excellency! The women want to sue! sued the lord in the hall, she said that I was a concubine of Hu Hui, and the women of the people couldn't bear such slanderous words!"
There are strange things every year, especially this year, there are women who kill people in court and say that they turned themselves in, and there are women who even sue the adults who tried the case on the spot.
There was silence for a while.
saw Bai Yindi slamming her head on the stone brick floor in the lobby of the procuratorate.
"Several adults, Qi Xiu'er was really killed to save the people's women, she has lived a hard life, she wants to be innocent, she can't be born, beg the adults, return her innocence to her!"
There was blood on her head, which showed that Bai Yindi was using so much force, she raised her head and looked directly at the adult in the red official robe.
This adult's official is really big.
is such a big official, but he is not a human being!
Du Feiqin stood up suddenly: "Bai Clan, you are suing the official, you will be punished with a rod first, you ......"....
Zhao Surui violently broke free from the servants behind him, picked Bai Yindi up, and sneered in his mouth:
"This is the time when I want to show my majesty, why do you come out and join in the fun?"
Bai Yindi shook her head: "The girl avenged Qi Xiu'er, how can I watch the girl be beaten again?"
Zhao Surui was almost angry to death by this dead-eyed woman, everyone here knew that Shi Wence had a personal relationship with him, even if he was beaten, it was just a temporary pain, this woman was powerless and despised by others, and there was no place to reason if she was beaten to death by "not paying attention"!
"Your life was exchanged for Qi Xiu'er's life! Your joy has been with you since that day, and you have to live with it, not for the sake of others!"
The two women in the hall are fighting to seek justice from him!
Zhuo Shengquan was extremely angry, and he hated to directly cut the two alive.
He was about to order the two of them to be beaten together, when he suddenly saw the curtain of the public hall being lifted.
Along with the cold wind, there was also a string of women.
The two who took the lead were wearing red dresses, which stabbed him in the eyes.
"Liang Yuying, the capital of the Duanji Palace."
"Duanji Palace, the chief bookkeeper of the Inspectorate, Sheng Aya'er."
"The candidate female officer in the inner study has met a few adults."
Seeing a group of women saluting, Du Feiqin and Shi Wence, who were other than Zhuo Shengquan, hurriedly got up and returned the salute.
"I'm waiting for the Holy Providence to listen to the record, and I'm bothering a few adults." With a light smile on her face, Liang Yuying pointed to an alternative female official, "Lian Mo Niang, you are responsible for writing down all the things in the hall, and you can't miss a word."
"Yes." The woman named was also in her twenties, carrying a foot-high wooden box on her shoulder, and when she heard this, she immediately knelt on the ground, used the wooden box as a table, and placed paper and pencils.
Liang Yuying looked at the people in the hall again, still smiling:
"Ladies and gentlemen, please continue."
Zhuo Shengquan had long been impatient with the pretense of these female officials, and raised the startled wood again, and said loudly, "Torture these two people!"
"Wait."
The startling wood hung in the air.
Zhuo Shengquan looked at the woman who stopped him: "What else do you have to talk about this female officer? this
It's a public court, and it has its own rules, don't think that this is your backyard, you can do whatever you want!"
"Thank you for your advice." Liang Yuying still smiled, "It's just that Xiaguan and the others came late, I don't know why these two people were tortured?"
Zhuo Shengquan took a deep breath: "One of them insults his own official, and the other sues the official with the people, and they will all be punished!"
"I see, the lower officials are taught."
I saw that the female officer in the red dress stepped forward again:
"My lord, may I ask you, how did they scold you? Again, how did I sue you? To tell you the truth, we have come by holy order, and all the things during this period must be written down word for word and handed over to Your Majesty."
The smile on the female officer's face was gentle and humble, as if it was carved on her face and couldn't be erased, but it made Zhuo Shengquan feel a little chill in his heart.
She raised her hand and saluted again.
"Please give me advice."
Zhuo Shengquan still held his shocking wood in his hand, but he couldn't say it anyway.
There are things that he can do, but he can't say, and he can say, but he can't be written down.
Zhao Surui was surprised for a moment when he saw his eldest aunt becoming a child officer of Rausch, and he had already come back to his senses at this moment.
"Master Zhuo, how about I scold you again? No, this has to start with Lord Zhuo, but you are a servant of the Criminal Department......
Zhuo Shengquan's face turned purple again.
Look at the female official who was lifting the pen and didn't know what she was writing, he only felt that his official reputation would be ruined by the woman's pen.
At this time, someone rescued him, it was Du Feiqin.
"Lord Zhuo, aren't we going to judge Hu Hui for killing Qi Xiu'er?"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes! Yes, yes, let's try the case, don't be bothered by the little things!"
Zhuo Shengquan seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said.
But he didn't know that Lian Mo'er, who was sitting on the ground, wrote:
"Zhuo Shengquan, the squire of the Criminal Department, wanted to beat Shen and Bai with a cane, but Liang Dushi asked the reason, saying that Shen insulted the official, and Bai sued the official with the people, and asked the reason again, but he didn't dare to reply, so he stopped.".
