The government officials of Kaifeng Prefecture wanted to speak out for these victims, but they caused such riots on the streets of Bianjing and were stripped of their pants and hung on the table of a wine shop. How could such arrogant behavior be easily exposed? They simply regarded Bianjing's laws and regulations as nothing.
The classmate of the person who was beaten was also a classmate Gu, who made a strong case for his friendship. A scholar who claimed to be the Imperial Academy of Nanjing had not said a word before, but now he also came forward to demand justice from the government officials, and he revealed his identity.
Xue Yu said: "Several Duke Duan, I am related by marriage to Coach Lin, the head of the 800,000 Imperial Guards in Tokyo, and I am also familiar with Chen Kuan from the Envoy Room. Such military men beating scholars in the street can be said to be an insult to scholars, so Being gentle and sweeping is not the intention of Taizu Taizong to treat scholars favorably."
"If this matter is not resolved, I will submit a petition to Kaifeng Mansion. If that doesn't work, I will go to Denwen Drum Court to file a petition."
Several government officials thought in their hearts that the 800,000 commanders of the Forbidden Army were not worth mentioning in Tokyo. As for the arresting envoy Chen Kuan, they had some background, but the scholars were familiar with each other, but their familiarity was probably limited. However, this academic edict requires a petition to be filed against the emperor, which is a bit troublesome.
One of the officials said: "Several scholars should not provoke me with words. The imperial city cannot lift a word of logic at its feet. Who dares to cover the sky with one hand?"
After the yamen officer finished speaking, he didn't think much about it when he heard that Jingxi was going to punish Mr. Han Zongxian's family.
One of the yamen servants said innocently: "Although the yamen of the Punishment Division is big, it doesn't deal with matters in the Jingdong area..."
As soon as the man opened his mouth, a government official stopped him and said, "You are the one who provoked Xianggong Han to be punished in Jingxi? That's..."
All the officials thought, who is Master Han? That was a real yamen. No one in the world, not even the officials, could afford to offend them, let alone people like them.
A government official said: "It turns out that he is a fugitive from Jingxi who has been sentenced, so we have nothing to do with him. He is gone."
After hearing this, several government officials dispersed. Seeing this, the three classmates who were beaten quickly stepped forward to stop them, but these government officials walked away without paying any attention.
The leader of this group of soldiers sneered: "Why do you still mind your own business? How dare you ask someone to beat me!"
Several military men held He Ma and slapped him again.
Lu Bing begged for mercy with his mouth full of blood: "Duan Gong, I don't know how I have offended you. Even if you die, let us be sensible."
The leader sneered: "That's fine. Is it just that you provoked the people you shouldn't have provoked?"
"who is it?"
"Does your south prison have a Guo Xiucai?"
When the three of them heard this, they thought they had provoked some big shot, but when they heard it was Guo Lin, they all acted coquettishly.
Didn't they bully this ant-like person when he was in the Imperial College? Now it's on top of them?
"Okay, that bastard named Guo, I will never let him go in the future." He Ma scolded.
After Hema finished speaking, he slapped her again.
"Don't fight, don't fight, grandpa is wrong."
Another slap in the face.
"Don't fight, it's grandson's fault."
Seeing that He Ma's face was beaten as hard as a pig's head, several classmates still refused to leave out of loyalty to their classmates. As for others, they were already thinking of rubbing oil on their soles.
The academic edict looked serious and said inwardly: "What are you going to do? The person named Guo is also a classmate of our Nanjing Imperial College. Even if there is any connection, there are still academic rules and Zhai is in charge. What do you mean by overriding me like this?"
The leader scolded: "Fart, school rules, didn't Zhai Zheng take care of it? Haven't you seen that these three people have become more serious, do you think that honest people have no one to support them? You have repeatedly bullied him, and now you want to ruin his reputation?"
Xueyu knew that Guo Lin was bullied too much and asked Xuezheng for help. However, Xuezheng said a few words to He Ma, but He Ma took revenge on Guo Lin with a grudge.
It seems that Xuezheng and Xueyu know best who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked. On one side is the powerful He Ma, and on the other is Guo Lin, who has no background. Pretending to be biased in the dark.
Xue Yu said: "It is not good to make this matter a big deal. This is the foot of the emperor. You must not be lawless. Someone will uphold justice when the time comes. Chen Kuan, the arresting envoy, will hate evil as much as he hates it..."
While he was talking, he heard someone say: "Who is this person calling you on the street?"
But when I saw a group of people approaching, they were all patrollers from the envoy's room. The leader even looked around arrogantly.
Xue Yu seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I am the cousin of Chen Kuan's wife. Last time he came to have a drink. Please help us to do justice to him!"
The other party said noncommittally: "What can I ask for you?"
This person said to the leader of the Criminal Division: "Why did the Criminal Division of Jingxi come to Jingdong to arrest people?"
The other party said: "It turned out to be the person who was observing. Do you know Mr. Wu Dalang of Jinliang Bridge?"
The person in charge of the punishment department was refreshed. He heard that Mr. Wu Dalang was called Wu Anshi. Without the support of Mr. Wu Dalang, why would he not be able to observe the position of arresting the envoy?
"Does this Duke Duan know Mr. Wu Dalang?"
The other party said: "I don't know, but our Mr. Han does."
When the other party inquired about it, of course he knew that Wu Anshi and Master Han were related by marriage, so he immediately smiled and said: "It turns out they are from my own family, and the flood almost washed away the Dragon King Temple."
"I don't dare, but this Hema violated our husband's taboo."
"Easy to say, easy to say. If you ask the Criminal Division to handle matters, our envoys will not ask."
When the people from the envoy room walked up to Hema. Hema begged: "Save us, you will be grateful."
"Pooh!"
A mouthful of spit hit He Ma's face.
"You thieves, if you fall into the hands of the Criminal Division today, it's your luck. If you fall into my hands, you will definitely be skinned."
After speaking, the other party greeted everyone and left together.
The person in charge of the punishment department saw that it was almost done, so he said: "Release these people and bring them back to the Yamen for punishment."
Xue Yu was shocked when he heard this. He thought he would just get beaten up, but he didn't expect that he would have to be questioned and punished!
The other party said: "You can't do this. Even if they really committed a crime, they should be held accountable by the prosecutor. How can the Jingxiti Criminal Division go around arresting people?"
The leader said arrogantly: "Taking people? Don't say that Bianjing City is taking people. They are prisoners from the Liao Kingdom and Xixia. If we, Mr. Han, want to take him for punishment, we will take him too."
After hearing this, how many people thought, is there any truth in this matter?
The Jingxi Criminal Division bypassed the areas under its control and openly went to Bianjing City to arrest people? Is there any Wang Fa in these eyes? Is there any justice in the world?
Seeing He Ma being taken away in chains, Xue Yu and others panicked.
One person asked: "What should I do?"
Another person said: "We can only report this matter to Brother He's elders and ask them to go to Kaifeng Mansion to submit the petition."
One person said: "Although the He family has just turned into a literary institution, its foundation is still shallow. How can it shake the Han family? Besides, do you still think that Bao Longtu is in charge of Kaifeng Mansion now? I'm afraid it won't work if I submit the petition!"
"I have to give it a try anyway."
They informed the He family the next day.
The He family was originally a military attache in the southwest, but because of his love for Concubine Zhang, he suddenly became a literary scholar. But after Concubine Zhang passed away, there was no one in the court to support them.
Nowadays, the He family has few connections in the capital, only some money.
The He family used Qian to clear the way and wanted Kaifeng Mansion to come forward, but when Kaifeng Mansion heard that the matter involved Master Han of the Jingxi Criminal Division, they refused to accept the case.
Grandmaster Han's father, Han Jiangna, was the equal of the former Yushi Zhongcheng and the Kaifeng Prefecture Yin, not to mention the power of the Han family. Even the Kaifeng Prefecture Yin did not want to offend the Han family.
The whole He family couldn't help but feel frightened. They thought that someone in Kaifeng Mansion would seek justice, but even the other party did not dare to accept the case. How could Guo Lin, a Han Sheng from Fujian, be so capable that he could ask the Han family to stand up for him?
But there was no way, He Ma was still saved.
Although He Ma was usually domineering in the South Prison, he was really good at winning people's hearts. The He family spent money and asked several of He Ma's classmates to beat the drums and complain.
The He family didn't come forward because they were worried about being embarrassed. After all, the supervisors were scholars and the Yamen didn't dare to embarrass them easily. These people collected money from the He family and went to Dengwen Drum Courtyard to play the Dengwen drum.
Before Deng Wengu, the drum official collected the petition papers from several people, and then handed them to the officials who judged Deng Wengu courtyard affairs.
After reading the petition, the official looked at a few students. Scholars in the Song Dynasty were noble, and they were prison students, so they only bowed to the official without bowing.
The official said calmly: "I understand, just go back and wait for news."
Several students were stunned, and one person boldly asked: "When will there be news?"
The official said with a cold face: "I said I knew it, but I knew it. When did you get the news?"
A student was about to speak when an official on the side said: "Our court is asking you to leave. Don't let yourself be disrespected here."
Several supervisors were about to say more, but the officials walked away. Dengwen Guyuan immediately beat these people out with random sticks.
That's what the yamen is like. It can't solve the problem, but it's quite easy to solve the problem.
These people were kicked out of Denwen Drum Courtyard, and one person said angrily: "I now know what it means for officials to protect each other. The entire Kaifeng government office is so collusive!"
Another person said: "It's not possible to go to the Wenguyuan. Let's go to the Wenjingyuan. I don't believe it. Is it true that the good Kaifeng Mansion is completely dark?"
"Exactly." Several people cheered.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of rogues came towards them and started to fight with them. If they had any troubles over drinking in the past, they could not help but beat them up.
Half of them gave up, and half still complained to the Procuratorate with bruises and bruises. As long as the Procuratorate did not accept the petition, the Procuratorate could review it and report it to the officials alone.
Now it is Chen Jian who knows Taichang Liyuan and is sentenced to the Court of Public Security and Prosecution.
Chen Jian carefully read the petition papers handed over by several people, and personally promised to stand up for justice for them, and even tried to comfort them. These students were overjoyed to think that they had met Qingtian, who was truly unfaithful to the powerful, and immediately Left with high expectations.
Unexpectedly, as soon as these people left, Chen Jian changed hands and said to his entourage: "I will send this letter to the Liyuan to Zhang Zhiyuan, and say that the official will take care of it for him."
The attendant said yes.
Chen Jian continued to pick up the book and browse.
The He family's hopes of going to the Public Prosecutor's Office to make some claims were dashed. It's not that these yamen don't do anything, they just find excuses to delay.
He Ma and the other three were detained by the Jingxi Criminal Division for half a month, and now they don't know whether they are alive or dead. When they arrived at the Yamen and asked, they said that the case of He Ma and the three of them was under trial. If they asked too many questions, the Criminal Division would be impatient and beat them out with sticks.
The people who ran errands for the He family deeply felt that Kaifeng Mansion was really dark.
