Chapter 13 Within the Yamen
The next day, in the Jiangnan Mansion, one person beat the drum and sang the grievances, and the drum beat rose and fell continuously, and it seemed that there was really great grievances and grief.
After a while, an official came out, and the man hurriedly handed over a piece of paper, which readβ
"The lewd monk is really an ungrateful wolf-hearted dog, and his sins are so great that it is really difficult to write. One is a monk who does not abide by the rules and precepts, insults a woman from a good family, and causes the benefactor's daughter and friend's sister to be pregnant with Liujia, and then ignores it; Second, he rebelled against the road of his family and country, colluded with the torch to teach the saint to worry-free, and plotted to kill the master of Pingliu Temple, the presiding officer of Pingliu Temple. The three were ungrateful, disregarding the grace of saving their lives, and killed Su Ming, a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan. His heart is like a tiger and a leopard, and his behavior is undisciplined, immoral, and lawless, and he is actually the public enemy of the world. Su Jue, a folk girl, avenges herself and her father! β
Luo Weiping heard the dense drumbeat, and hurriedly ran out and sat on the top of the middle hall, the startling wood that he picked up had not yet fallen, and Su Jue's face had not yet been seen clearly, so he heard a sound-
"Princess Jicai has arrived!"
I saw a large number of mothers-in-law and servants walking over with a middle-aged woman wearing gold and silver, at this time she was expressionless, completely businesslike, and walked in generously.
Luo Weiping hurriedly ran down the hall and knelt down to say goodbye.
The master on the side hurriedly handed over the chair and served Ji Cai to sit down, only to see her pick up the tea next to her, and said lightly: "This palace went out today, passing by your Jiangnan Mansion, and suddenly heard someone beating a drum and shouting grievances, and after inquiring, it turned out to be Su Jue, the daughter of the old man Su Ming yesterday." β
"Originally, this matter had nothing to do with the palace. What can I do, yesterday Su Ming made a big fuss in the flower court, and the palace remembered that the girl was unlucky, so he forced himself to come forward and said a few fair words, this matter is not big, but it is just a Jianghu monk who is suspected of being stained, and it is really not small to say that it is small, after all, it is about the face of our Jiangnan, and it is still undignified in morality. β
"So, I'll just say come in and have a look."
So what else can Luo Weiping say? Looking at Ji Cai's attitude, I understood in my heart that she was partial to Su Jue.
And how can it be an accidental passing?
However, isn't this just a problem for yourself? How can this be judged? Although he was very anxious and thought about countless consequences for a while, he didn't dare to make the slightest mistake in front of Ji Cai, so he had to pound his head like a rattle, and said yes again and again.
Seeing this, Ji Cai was more satisfied.
She put down the teacup in her hand, looked at Luo Weiping who was kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "Lord Luo, get up." Today, I'm just a bystander, and you can judge you however you want, and judge how you sent. β
She paused, and then accentuated her tone: "It's just that, don't be unfair!" β
Luo Weiping's head nodded more intensively than before.
He stood up cautiously, walked to the middle hall, and looked at Ji Cai, at this time she looked at her nose and nose, but she didn't even glance at him Luo Weiping.
Luo Weiping had no choice but to sit down and slammed the wood: "Ascend to the hall!" β
"Mighty ......"
"Bring up the paper!"
Luo Weiping looked at the paper, and then looked at Su Jue, who was kneeling on the ground with a sad and helpless face: "Su Jue, I look at your paper, suing Zhu to solve the three crimes." This first case is yet to be verified; The second case, I have also heard about this matter, the Pingliu County Government sent a special report to the government, this matter is a misunderstanding, no wonder people understand it. And this point has been decided on that day, and the monks of Pingliu Temple also recognize it. β
"Only your third sect, then Su Ming is being detained in Jiangnan Prison at this time, where did you come from to kill him?"
When Su Jue heard this, he couldn't help but look shocked: "What? My lord, my father is not dead? β
"This is natural, will this government still lie to you?"
Su Jue was confirmed, and she was stunned, she looked at Ji Cai who was sitting on the side, as if she was asking for verification, but it was more of an inquiry. However, Ji Cai did not respond to her eyes, and only looked at the yamen, as if he was really out of the matter.
Luo Weiping saw Su Jue like this, and added: "Yesterday, your father went to the Flower Garden to make a fuss, saying that the bamboo solution was with you...... Well, because the facts of the case are confusing for a while, it is impossible to reach a conclusion. In expediency, Zhu Xie and your father Su Ming were taken back and imprisoned in Jiangnan Prison. β
As soon as Su Jue heard the word "bamboo solution", he understood the cause and effect, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "My lord, if that's the case, then I won't sue you, I won't sue you!" β
After that, she stood up, bowed to Luo Weiping, and pleaded: "My lord, I won't sue this case, but ...... Can I see my father, and ...... And the master of bamboo solution? β
In this way, this is exactly what Luo Weiping is looking forward to, and his heart is really happy at the moment: isn't it simple now.
It seems that today's verdict is still relatively easy, it is just a misunderstanding, which does not delay justice, and also leaves Ji Cai with nothing to say.
However, Luo Weiping is the governor of Jiangnan Mansion after all, so he still has to pay attention to face.
He lifted the startled wood and fell, pretending to be angry: "Bold girl, what do you think is this Jiangnan Mansion?" You can come when you want, you can go when you want, and you can see whoever you want? I think you are bold and have no law! Come on, slap this ignorant folk girl twenty times and blast it out! β
As soon as these words came out, Ji Cai's face changed slightly, and he said in his heart: Okay, you Luo Weiping, dare to come and knock on the palace? Don't worry, the best is yet to come!
It was Su Jue, like a nobody, but said excitedly: "My lord, as long as I see my father and Zhu Jie, don't say twenty slaps, it's a hundred, a thousand, and the people's daughters will not give up!" The folk girl is brave, and please ask the adults to agree! β
In an instant, Ji Cai returned to his original state, as if he had seen enough, and he was no longer interested, so he stood up and said, "It turned out to be a misunderstanding, this palace ......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw an official running in from the door, his expression was very frightened, and he shouted: "My lord, it's not good, Su Ming is dead!" β
This voice was like a thunderbolt, and Luo Weiping's face suddenly darkened. Without waiting for him to react, Su Jue grabbed the official: "What did you say?" My father is dead? What about bamboo solutions? Is there anything wrong with him? β
The official wanted to get closer to Luo Weiping, and some situations were indeed not suitable for too many people to know. No, but he was firmly pulled by Su Jue, and he couldn't help but be anxious, and it was inconvenient to be angry in front of the public, so he said casually: "Zhujie is fine!" Then he ripped it off, ran to Luo Weiping's side, and whispered: "Someone poisoned Su Ming!" β
Luo Weiping's expression fell in Ji Cai's eyes, but before she could say anything, she saw that Su Jue at this time, as if she had not reacted for a while, she was still immersed in the grief of her father's death just now, and suddenly heard that Zhu Xie was unharmed, and her face involuntarily climbed a little excited, and then she realized that Su Ming was dead, and she couldn't help but look like ashes, and squatted down in a daze.
"Lord Luo, in the Jiangnan Mansion under your rule, the prisoner died in prison, I see, you really have to investigate carefully."
After saying this, without waiting for Luo Weiping's words, he took care of his dress, didn't say hello, and walked out with those servants.
Luo Weiping secretly said that it was not good, but he couldn't say a word, so he had to watch Ji Cai and his party walk out. After a long while, he said, "Let's go, go to the prison!" β
The official messenger on the side hurriedly followed, and at the same time, an official messenger pointed at Su Jue and whispered: "My lord, look at her...... What should I do? β
Luo Weiping suddenly stood still, furious: "How to deal with it, how to deal with it!" How do you take care of the prisoners? It's not good to do this little thing, what are you doing to eat? β
Those officials, of course, didn't say a word, and stood there quietly being reprimanded, and no one dared to refute a word.
"Didn't she want to go and see it? Bring her along! Luo Weiping vented for a long time before yelling at a few officials.
Su Jue was unable to stand up at this time, and the two officials dragged her one by one, and the group hurriedly walked towards the prison.
In all fairness, Luo Weiping was born in a poor family, studied hard for decades and finally won the Jinshi, along the way, his dedication has always been very heavy, but he has accumulated a lot of skills, especially in the years of governing Jiangnan Mansion. Let's just say that there are really few prisoners in this Jiangnan prison, which is enough to prove his political achievements.
Luo Weiping led a group of people to go inside to see the scene of Su Ming's death, but because Su Ming was imprisoned in the innermost, it was inevitable that he would have to go through the prison cell.
He didn't realize this, he just wanted to see what was going on at the scene, but unexpectedly, Su Jue, who was being supported, saw Zhu Xie who was imprisoned at the door at a glance, broke free from the two officials, ran to the entrance of the prison, and shouted: "Zhu Jie, are you okay?" β
Seeing this, Luo Weiping's eyes flashed with undisguised disgust, and after his eyes instructed the two entourages, he left her and walked quickly.
Na Zhujie was settling down, and saw Su Jue with a happy face appearing at the door, but he was not half interested, and he didn't want to say a word.
Su Jue didn't care, but comforted Zhu Jie: "That...... I know a noble person, she will help me, I will go back and tell her that you have been wronged, let them release you sooner......"
Takejie remained silent.
"During this time, a lot of things have happened, that ...... I...... I'm pregnant......"
When Zhu Xie heard this, he finally raised his head, his eyes were fixed on Su Jue, a few waves lightly rose between his eyebrows, and the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily a few times. However, after a moment, Takejie seemed to think of something and regained his composure.
Su Jue didn't seem to notice this, she only felt that Zhujie was very bitter, and she was imprisoned because of her father, and she suffered great physical and mental damage. More importantly, Zhu Xie has suffered a great grievance, and a proud person like him must be extremely sad.
So, her voice slowly softened, and as if no one was around, she said many comforting words to herself.
At this moment, a stretcher passed behind him, and a person was clearly placed on it, but it was covered with a white cloth, and it was impossible to identify who it was, but it was certain that this person was probably dead.
And Su Jue, who was immersed in his own world, finally came back to his senses, looked at the stretcher that was carried out, just looked at it in a daze, and didn't say a word.
And the official who followed behind, seeing that Su Jue was still there at this time, stepped forward to pick up Su Jue, and pulled her out without saying anything.
And Su Jue was struggling to resist, and he couldn't stop talking: "You wait, I'll find someone to save you right away!" β
"Me and ...... Together waiting for you outside! "The man has walked a long way, and the anxious voice is still lingering, and in this empty prison, it sounds desperate and hopeful.
After everyone walked away, Zhu Xie called the official: "This lord, can you help me bring a message?" β
The officials all know that Zhu Xie has a close personal relationship with Luo Weiping, Jiang Caiyu and other senior officials, and the two have also specially explained before that they should take more care of Zhu Jie.
He stepped forward and asked politely, "Of course you can, the master is polite, please speak." β
"Trouble my lord, go to Xiyugou Village, twenty miles outside the city, find a person surnamed Zhao, and say that I will let them come to see me immediately, as soon as possible."
"He will give you silver, please rest assured."
"Oh, by the way, please keep this matter a secret, no one can talk about it."
The official almost nodded and said, "Don't worry, master, I won't tell others." β
With that, he hurried away.
When Luo Weiping walked out of the prison, he happened to meet Li Yunshui and Xu Ruoyun who were coming towards him, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Gongzi Li, General Xu, are you here?"
"Lord Luo, don't call me that in the future, I have taken off my military status, and now I am a little follower by Brother Yunshui's side!" Li Yunshui hadn't opened his mouth yet, Xu Ruoyun came to say this, thinking that the two had known each other for a long time and had a lot of contact, but they were not restrained at all.
Although Luo Weiping was surprised that Xu Ruoyun surrendered his identity, he didn't ask more, but sighed again and again: "Bitter! I won't be able to see it for long, and I'm going to take off this official uniform, and I'll come to Li Gongzi's side when the time comes......"
"Lord Luo, don't make fun of me." Li Yunshui smiled, comforted him, and saw Su Jue behind Luo Weiping, so he asked, "Why is Miss Su Jue here?" β
A trace of disdain flashed in Luo Weiping's eyes, and he said, "Old Man Su was poisoned and died!" β
"What?" Li Yunshui exclaimed.
So, Luo Weiping stood there and told Li Yunshui and the others about the cause and effect. It's just that they didn't pay attention to Su Jue, who was originally standing behind everyone, quietly left at this time.
At the end, Luo Weiping sighed with emotion: "Old Man Su died so unclearly, I think he is also a huge rich man in Jiangnan, but this ending, this sect ...... Alas! I'm still sighing about this, it's really a mud bodhisattva crossing the river...... Eh, what about Su Jue? β
At this time, everyone found out that the girl who was pregnant with Liujia had left, but they didn't know when the toss that this girl stirred up would end.
And where should she go from here?
Li Yunshui fell silent, he thought a lot, and Su Yu also came down the mountain, if he went home and saw such a shocking change, how would he feel?
