Dawn approached, and was about to report the situation to Wei Yu, and when he saw the situation, he closed his voice with interest.

Xiang Siyuan thought for a while, raised his hand and took out a jade plaque around his neck, gritted his teeth and handed it out, and said in a low voice: "The princess's golden body, ordinary things may stain your eyes." This jade pendant is a relic of the late grandmother, although it is rough, but it can talk about the sincerity of the late life, and please smile at the princess. ”

Wei Yu took it and took a look, the jade pendant tentacles were warm, the texture was smooth, it was indeed made of fine mutton fat white jade, and it was engraved with a ingenious double fish pattern, and at the other hand, there was a word written on the back, and the family seal of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was also engraved on it.

With this thing in hand, if Xiang Siyuan has a different intention in the future, Wei Yu wants to do something with this, even if he has a mouth, it will be difficult to discern.

He has no long things now, and even took out this thing, and it can be regarded as a matter of handing it over.

Wei Yu naturally smiled, "Since my cousin is sincere, this palace will accept it." In fact, why does my cousin have to be so serious? Bengong never said that he wanted his cousin to resign. ”

Xiang Siyuan straightened up suddenly, his eyes looked straight at Wei Yu, his face turned from white to red, "That ...... just now"

Wei Yu smiled and said confidently: "It's just to test my cousin's determination." ”

She stood up, took two steps forward, and said, "This palace has a big matter to do. Wei Yu deliberately revealed some stubble, "I want to find allies who can help each other, not cowards who will only back down in case of trouble." If your cousin just said that he wanted to resign, then after you leave the palace this time, the palace will not see you again. ”

Only then did Xiang Siyuan wake up to this original matter, a test.

The little princess had no intention of persuading him to resign from the beginning, but whenever he hesitated for a moment, he was afraid that he would be abandoned by His Highness.

But that wasn't what he was most concerned about at the moment, his heart beating silently quickened, keenly grasping the point of her words.

Event? What's the big deal? What exactly does this little princess want to do?

Wei Yu didn't intend to answer his doubts, pointed to the dawn waiting on the side, and said, "There's good news, cousin might as well listen to it?" ”

Dawn knew that it was time to speak, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I have sent a message to Lord Kang Qun, saying that everything is ready, that Zhou has gone to Dali Temple, and now I am afraid that he has gone to the court!" ”

The monarch of Hekang is Meng Yingying.

-------------------------------------

Beijing, in front of the Yamen of Dali Temple.

Behind the majestic and hideous stone lion in front of the door, the high black lacquer gate is extraordinary, and at this moment, there are two women in front of the usually daunting yamen, standing and kneeling.

The woman standing, dressed in white sackcloth and wearing a plain strip on her head, is holding a drumstick and beating the drumstick, which is two people tall and has been covered with dust.

The kneeling woman was dressed as a maid, and her hands stretched out an arm-long piece of paper, which was full of small characters, and shouted something loudly while holding it up.

People come and go in front of the palace, although the maid is thin and weak, but the voice is not small, Xu is shouting for a long time, her voice is already hoarse, and even a little sad, "Guanglu Temple is Lin Yuan's wife, Lin Zhou, sued Jiang Pei, the third son of Jiang Song, the secretary of the Ministry of War, for robbing officials' families, robbing people's property, and murdering officials, please ask the government to investigate!" ”

The sound of drums resounded in front of the yamen, as if it could reach people's hearts, and passers-by stopped one after another.

In front of the county office, many people have been surrounded, and they are all talking.

"Hey, what's going on?" Some people who had just arrived didn't know why, so they asked the surrounding neighbors curiously.

The middle-aged man who was asked a question "hurt" and said, "Isn't it all written on the paper? It is said that Jiang Pei, the third son of Jiang Mansion, coveted and killed Lin Yuan, the director of Guanglu Temple, and took his wife back to make an outer room, and also seized other people's property. ”

The people said: "Jiang Sangongzi? The one who was taken out of his official position? It can't be a false accusation to do such a thing that has lost its conscience, right? ”

The middle-aged man pointed to the woman beating the drum, and his tone was a little sympathetic, "Knocking on the drum, but you have to go through thirty boards before you can enter the yamen, if you don't really have grievances, a weak woman comes to suffer this hardship, is it too long?" ”

The people who asked were persuaded, "You are polite, so this Jiang Sangongzi is really so lawless?" It just so happens that he is also a Qipin Beijing official, and no one cares if he is killed like this? ”

At this time, a thin man next to him stepped forward and hurriedly said, "I know this!" My mother's cousin is a person from Guanglu Temple, I heard that this forest department is a child of the Han family, the family lives in Huangzhou, and there is no backer in the capital, so Jiang Mansion is the maiden family of the palace concubine, a serious uncle, who can care about his life or death? ”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding people shook their heads one after another, revealing sympathetic looks.

The questioner looked at it, frowned, and said, "How long has this been knocking, so no one has come out?" ”

The strong man waved his hand and said, "A quarter of an hour, it's almost fast, let's see." ”

At the base of the Imperial City, there is naturally no shortage of people who know things, and some people sighed: "That Third Young Master Jiang is not a good thing, he has done something lacking in virtue, and he has not seen anyone sue him down." I look at these two weak women, hanging! It is better to go home, so as not to suffer a meal of flesh and skin in vain. ”

Seeing that he seemed to know a little bit of the inside story, the people around him gathered around him to ask him.

There are those who don't understand the situation, and they understand both sentences when they hear people, they are all ordinary people, and they are very sympathetic to the bullying of civilians by high-ranking officials, especially the two weak women who beat the drum, and they shouted so violently, which aroused everyone's compassion.

At this time, it is the afternoon when the people do not go to work, see that there is a lively gathering over, Dali Temple Mansion is at the corner of the street in Wangshi, with the passage of time, more and more people gathered around, and the discussion is getting louder and louder.

It didn't take long for the tall and majestic yamen to squeak open, and out of the door came a black-clothed servant in his twenties.

The little official pressed the four-foot-long official knife on his waist with one hand, pointed at the two women at the door with the other, and said, "What are you making trouble?!" The government is heavy, how can you be allowed to spill?! If you mess around again, go straight to prison! ”

In front of the door, Zhou put down the drumstick in his hand and turned around.

Only then did everyone see her appearance clearly, with long eyes and thin nose, eyebrows flying into the sideburns, and a white complexion like spring snow on the eaves, she was really a rare beauty, and the onlookers exclaimed.

She squatted down and saluted neatly, and her voice was naturally a little cool like ice and snow: "Lin Zhou, the wife of Lin Yuan, the wife of the courtier's Guanglu Temple, sued Jiang Pei, the third son of the Jiang Mansion, and asked the lords of the law department to learn clearly!" ”

The black-clothed servant took off the long knife at his waist, waved the handle at the woman, and drove away with a black face: "Go, go, you are a woman who is not good at home and teach her husband and children, what are you doing here?!" Still suing Jiang Sangongzi? Do you know who Jiang Sangongzi is? ”

But there is not a word about the complaint.

Zhou raised his face, and his long eyebrows flew diagonally, and he had expected this situation in his heart.

Her face did not change at all, and she said loudly: "The laws of this dynasty, the case of Dengwen Drum is indispensable, please ask the official to invite all the lords, and the courtiers want to sue Jiang Pei, the third son of Jiang Shangshu and Jiang Song of the Ministry of War!" Please ascend to the throne! ”

Seeing that she was so stubborn, the official was really annoyed, and said with a glare: "Then do you know that if you want to enter the official office, you will first play thirty boards!" As far as you, a woman, have you ever seen what the board looks like? Let's go home and rest! Don't ask for it. ”

Dali Temple is in charge of the world's prisons, how can you not know that the Dengwen drum case cannot be unpunished? If she really wants to be convicted according to the law, who can let her ring for a full quarter of an hour?

Isn't this a case that is difficult to take?

Who is she accusing her? Jiang Pei! When the son of the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, the brother of the palace concubine!

Zhou stood quietly in place, the linen white clothes moved with the wind, lining her wealth, she said loudly: "I know, I will suffer from the thirty boards, please ascend to Dali Temple!" ”

Dali Temple Qingliu Yamen, usually handling cases can be regarded as impartiality, but it also depends on the situation, the Jiang family is powerful, even if this Jiang San really did something that lost his conscience in private, Dali Temple can't do anything, can he really be put in prison? It's a wasted effort.

The official secretly complained in his heart, but he was such an unlucky guy who was on the top today, and he happened to be the first bird to be at the top of the peak.

But the people below don't know the inside story, and it's not a big deal to see the excitement, and there are still people shouting with the crowd: "Yes!" What else do you shirk when the drums are beating? Could it be that Dali Temple is also afraid that Jiang Fu will ignore the law? ”

They looked at it for a long time, how could they not see the government's intention of shirking?

These words were speaking the hearts of everyone, and for a while the big guys all accused the officials, there were many of them, and the posture of scolding was very scary.

The official was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, raised his long knife and pointed at everyone and shouted, "What's the trouble?!" Let's clear the customs again! ”

The law does not blame the public, the people have been in Beijing for many years, and they are clear about the skills of the government, where are they willing to listen?

Seeing that the situation is out of control.

Suddenly, the dark door creaked open again, and three well-dressed officials walked out slowly, the one in the middle was decorated with gold, and there was a silver fish bag hanging from his waist.

Someone in the crowd had sharp eyes and recognized who the man was.

"It's Zhang Sizheng!" Someone in the crowd said excitedly, Dali Temple is Zhang Yong is an official justice, and the official reputation is quite good, with him, he will definitely be able to help the Zhou family uphold justice!

"Zhang Sizheng is here, please Sizheng preside over justice!"

The crowd became even more boiling, and Zhang Yong raised his hand and pressed down slightly, which really suppressed the raging anger of the people.

Zhang Yong looked back at the beautiful woman with a cold face, grimaced, and asked majestically, "Zhou, do you know what you're doing?" ”

Dengwen drums and grievances, once reported to Dali Temple, they will definitely be reprimanded, offending the government will not talk about it for the time being, the person she sued is still Jiang San, with the power of Jiang Mansion, this lawsuit is not successful, and she herself has no way out.

Zhou bowed, lowered his head and said lightly, "No one knows what I'm doing better than me. ”

The shadow of the sun shone on the four words "Zhengda Guangming" on the golden plaque in the hall, Zhang Yong nodded, and said with a straight face: "In this case, the official is as you wish, and someone will come ......."

As soon as the words fell, the faces of the two master bookkeepers who followed Zhang Yong suddenly changed.

The two of them pulled up their smiling faces and said, "I can't help it!" Madame, how can she accept the board? Master Zhang laughed. ”

"Mrs. Lin, I know the Forestry Department, and we used to drink together at the same time. Madame is tired of beating the drum for a long time, right? It's better to go to the official office and drink a cup of tea and talk slowly, let's sit down and talk, sit down and talk. ”

Seeing this situation, the maid brought by the Zhou family on the side silently pulled Zhou's sleeve and persuaded in a low voice: "Madam, why don't we go in and sit down?" ”

Zhou Shi didn't move, she raised her eyes and looked directly into Zhang Yong's wise and solemn eyes, and said coldly: "I'll take the board!" Please ascend to the church and give justice to the deceased husband! ”
