These officials were angry, but they were also terrified, and they tried to escape.

It's a pity that the entire courtyard, including the roof wall, is guarded by the officials, who will not let them leave.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to leave, leave your name first, sign and draw a pledge, admit today's events, and don't embarrass the little ones. The villains are also businesslike, and if there is no black and white as evidence, it is as easy for the adults to turn around and pinch the villains to death as it is to pinch them to death. In a word, the little ones are here to play with their lives, and the adults don't have the same knowledge as us. ”

Xu Dian's words made everyone so angry that their noses were crooked.

Okay, you shameless person, you let us sign, this word can be signed casually?

They are 10,000 unwilling, after all, no one wants to leave evidence behind.

But these people in Shangyuan County just won't let them go.

In the sky and on the ground, even the dog cave is guarded, and I don't know how they found out.

And as the minutes and seconds passed, it was past midnight.

I can't get out quickly, and wait until tomorrow to delay a little bit.

Once it gets out, it's even more troublesome.

There is no way but to leave first, and then find a way.

Yu Shiji was the first to write his name, and then left in a hurry.

As he left, several more people followed him and wrote down their names...... But in this group of people, there are also great smarts, such as a royal history, think about it, anyway, they don't necessarily know me, just write a name.

By the way, write about the person I hate the most.

Xu Jingchang!

As soon as he finished writing, a servant next to him laughed, "If you are really the Duke of Dingguo, will you still be afraid of villains?" I'm afraid I'll have already beaten it out! ”

The man was stunned for a while, he was pretending to be clever, and at this moment, the official said in a loud voice: "Come here, brothers, take a good look, which adult is this?" ”

In the next second, a servant came over, he had been on the street for many years, and he had led almost all the officials to the way, not to mention his experience, and he had the ability to never forget.

After just one glance, he said loudly: "Supervising the imperial history He Yin, impersonating Xu Jingchang, the prince of Dingguo, and framing important ministers of the court, it is recorded!" ”

This He Yushi almost fell down directly, it was broken, and there was one more crime!

Don't say anything, quickly tick it, rewrite your name, and run away in a hurry.

In the second half of the night, Xu Dianguan returned victoriously with many officials.

"Hall, the list is here, there are thirteen people in total, there is no doubt about it."

Looking at this list, Huang Xiaoru's blood that had just crawled out of the bed was cold.

"How dare you mess with these people? Don't want to die? ”

Xu Dianguan shouted wronged, "Honorable, these people are ungrateful and unjust, and they are messing with many girls in a courtyard. Many of these girls are from good families. The lowly officials are in accordance with the will of the court, make decisions for the people, and severely punish lawlessness. This is what you confessed, the lowly officials risked their lives and did what you wanted, why was it wrong? ”

Huang Xiaoru cried, "That's what I said, but you also have to open your eyes and take a look, and pick some people I can afford to provoke!" ”

Xu Dianyi couldn't help but roll his eyes, in this Yingtian, if you can afford to provoke it, is it still a character?

"Honorable, can I remind you that this is an errand for the Dingguo Bus Office, and you plan to disobey the will of the Dingguo Gong and be perfunctory?"

In a word, Huang Xiaoru was asked.

I can't afford to mess with it, but there is Xu Jingchang!

But if the Duke of Wanguo doesn't help and lets himself face these people alone, it will be over......

"By the way, you just said that there is a woman from a good family in it, could it be that you are forcing a good woman to become a prostitute?" Huang Xiaoru asked.

Xu Dianguan said: "It's true, cousin, many foreign women who live in the capital have either become concubines and maids of big families, or they have been sold to secret prostitutes by their teeth, and they have started the business of picking up customers. The lowly officials have been in the world for so many years, what is not clear? You can't go wrong! ”

Huang Xiaoru couldn't help but fall into deep thought...... If there is really a situation of forcing the good to become a prostitute, this is in the Daming Law, it is also a serious crime, and you will take advantage of it first.

There is Dingguo Gong behind him, and there is power again.

Reasonable and powerful, I have nothing to fear!

"Well, you guys did a great job! As parents, we must make decisions for the people. I am the one who will not give in, I will fight for this life, but also to uphold justice and avenge the people. Pass my orders, prepare the carriage, and after daybreak, I will go to the General Administration!" ”

That's right, as Huang Xiaoru, he can't enter the palace directly.

If he wants to sue, he can only go to the secretary of the political department...... Of course, he can also report to Ying Tianfu, and the government Yin will report it layer by layer.

But obviously, walking this way, the daylilies are cold.

Therefore, Huang Xiaoru decided to go to the General Administration Department first.

After all, this is where Xu Jingchang has done it, so he shouldn't turn himself away, right?

The sky was slightly bright, and Huang Xiaoru went straight to the Yamen of the General Administration with apprehension.

To his surprise, someone was already waiting here before him.

"It's Huang Zhixian, right? Come in! ”

In the face of such an enthusiastic general secretary, Huang Xiaoru was flattered.

You must know that his Shangyuan County Yamen is almost the lowest level of the entire Yingtian City, and the General Administration Department is one of the big yamen of the Nine Qings.

Especially under the operation of Xu Jingchang, it is almost the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.

The seven officials in front of the prime minister, even if they are other people's subordinates, they are on an equal footing with themselves!

There is no doubt that this face is not given to himself, but to others.

Thinking of this, Huang Xiaoru was also calm.

He walked into the second hall, saw the general political envoy Xie Jin, respectfully saluted, and then played the matter truthfully.

Xie Jin listened silently here, and when he finished speaking, Xie Jin said slowly: "You said that she is a woman from a good family, and there is a problem of forcing Liang to become a prostitute." Then let me ask you, are there still many displaced people in the capital at this time? What about women, but what about men? Where did it all go? ”

Huang Xiaoru hurriedly said: "If you go back to the political envoy, although the imperial court will try its best to settle down, but after four years of war, the displaced people and the displaced people who fled to Yingtian are not more than 100,000. More than seventy percent of them are men. Some of these people sold themselves into slavery and served the wealthy. Some simply ended up in the Qinhuai River, after all, in addition to girls, handsome-looking men are also quite popular. There was even ......"

"What else?" Xie Jin asked.

"There are also those who cut themselves and are waiting to enter the palace to serve His Majesty."

Xie Jin's brows were instantly raised, and then he let out a long breath, "I know, you just wait here, or it won't be long before someone comes looking for you." ”

After settling in Huang Zhixian, Xie Jin waited for a while, and someone from the palace asked him to go to face the saint.

When he arrived, he found that the important ministers of the court had arrived, including Xu Jingchang, who had also arrived in advance. Xie Jin knew the current affairs very well, so he stood at the back of the crowd.

At this time, Zhu Di also arrived, and the Son of Heaven inspected the courtiers, and said with a smile: "I heard that last night, it was very lively, what happened, who can tell me?" ”

The courtiers bowed their heads one by one and were silent, and Xu Jingchang took a step forward, with a look of stunned sighs on his face.

"Your Majesty, the ministers really can't imagine it, obviously the government affairs are complicated and the state affairs are busy, how can they still have the heart to find the girl? is full of energy, which is simply enviable. The minister is so young, and he has stepped down as a general envoy, and he only needs to deal with the affairs of Jinyiwei and Zhan Shifu, and the minister is too busy. I really don't know, what kind of material are these colleagues made of, maybe they have three heads and six arms? ”

Zhu Di snorted angrily, "I have no clothes and food, I am exhausted, I am dedicated to governing the country, and I never dare to slack off." The courtiers have been repeatedly banned, and they have killed a lot because they went to the Qinhuai River. It still is. Don't do serious things, hug the girl, have fun, you should be killed! ”

Zhu Di said again: "Who has gone?" ”

Xu Jingchang said: "I don't know who it is, but I heard that there are more than a dozen!" ”

Syllable!

Zhu Di slammed the table and said angrily: "Bastard, shameless, all damned!" ”

He jerked to Jian Yi, the secretary of the ministry, and asked, "Jian Shangshu, do you know?" ”

Jian Yi said: "The minister has just heard about it, and the minister doesn't know what the specific situation is." But since the law of the country is disregarded, it should be severely punished. ”

"How to punish severely?" Zhu Di asked, not giving Jian Yi the slightest chance to be ambiguous.

"According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, officials who are prostitutes should be dismissed from their official positions, demoted to concubines, and never used."

Zhu Di was obviously dissatisfied, "It's so light, it's cheaper for them!" ”

Jian Yi said helplessly: "Your Majesty, this is the law of the Ming Dynasty, and the ministers think that the officials have misbehaved or are not guilty of death." ”

Xu Jingchang didn't like to hear this, "Jian Shangshu, you know that I have always respected you." But how important is the honor to a scholar! Isn't there a saying that starvation is a small matter, but a loss of festival is a big thing? Is it not a sin to say that a woman or a doctor is out of modesty? ”

Jian Yi's face was very ugly, Xu Jingchang had always taken revenge overnight. The courtiers resisted the matter of repairing the houses for the craftsmen, and Xu Jingchang was not satisfied with the final compromise.

We don't have any merit in this person, but we don't take revenge overnight.

At this time, Jian Yi withstood the double artillery fire from Zhu Di and Xu Jingchang, and it seemed that he was stumbling.

"Dingguo Gong, just a prostitute, can't it be considered a festival? At best, it is not cautious enough. ”

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "When Jian Tianguan said cautious, he meant that they shouldn't be discovered, right?" ”

"You!" Jian Yi's face changed suddenly, and he snorted: "Dingguo Gong, your theory of condemning the heart, I'm afraid it can't be used as the law of the Ming Dynasty, right?" ”

Xu Jingchang was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "It's true, but if you force Liang to become a prostitute, buy and sell the children of good families." As a courtier, what is the sin of not reporting it, but aiding the abuse? ”

When Jian Yi heard this, he shouted that it was not good, it seems that Xu Jingchang came prepared!

If this is the case, it is natural that the sin will be added to the degree. How to convict still needs to be decided by the three legal divisions. Jian Yi inadvertently kicked the ball out.

This is the skill of the Great Tomorrow Official, he naturally wants to protect the courtiers, but when he can't keep it, he will not hesitate to abandon it, and he will never drag the mud and water.

At this time, Xie Jin took a step forward, "Your Majesty, the minister has verified that most of those women are women from good families who are living in the capital, and they are not cheap families, and I hope Your Majesty will see it." ”

Zhu Di gritted his teeth, "What are you doing in a daze, Jinyiwei, arrest someone!" ”
