"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? If you ask me in the morning tomorrow, it will be clear. Why do you want us to find evidence?"
"Who says it's not the case! Your Majesty's search for evidence is just a matter of one sentence. For us, it's harder than climbing to the sky!"
"Alas! Who told us to speak so lightly...!"
After exiting the imperial study room, Ning Xingwang and Ding Cheng's sons murmured in low voices and walked forward slowly, extremely reluctantly.
"I think His Majesty just doesn't want to take care of this matter, so he keeps putting it off!"
Ding Youhang put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice.
"Since His Majesty doesn't care? Then what should we do? We can't really go to Xianyang Ling to sue, right? He won't care!"
"Yes! The incident didn't happen in the city. We don't even have a witness. How could he stand up for us?"
"Oh! Is that all there is to it...?"
According to what their father said, all civil and military officials have seen it, and it is estimated that it will spread throughout Xianyang soon.
If there was no explanation for this matter and it was left to nothing, they would still be unwilling to do so.
Their father couldn't even swallow this breath!
"Jiang Yongshou and the others can take action, can't we?"
Ding Youhang, who had been silent until now, suddenly narrowed his eyes and said fiercely.
"Shall we do it?"
Several other people looked at each other.
"It's certainly no problem for a few of us to join forces and beat a few of them, but we are court officials, and Jiang Yongshou and the others have become ordinary people now! If we do it now, it will be court officials beating ordinary people. If this spreads, Do we still have our future?"
"Yes! Because of this, we will definitely be punished by the superiors, just to vent our anger, right?"
"If word of this spreads out about officials beating up civilians, how can we still do it? It's not a crime, it's not a crime! Otherwise... let's just forget about it?"
Ding Cheng and Ning Xingwang's other sons thought about it and shook their heads.
It's not worth it to ruin your future just to win a reputation.
There are people talking about this matter now. After some time, who will remember it?
But if the future is ruined because of this, the future livelihood of the family will be at risk!
"Who said we have to do it ourselves when fighting?"
Ding Youbing said quietly.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Several people seemed to have thought of something, and immediately stopped and focused their attention on him.
"Have you forgotten how our father was beaten before...?"
Ding Youbing gave a few reminders and continued: "Our family took out some money, found a group of gangsters, squatted at the door of Jiang Yongshou's house, and beat them up under the cover of night!"
"Yeah! This is a good idea! It can vent our anger without us having to do it ourselves!"
"Yes! The moon is dark and the wind is high, they don't even know who they were beaten by!"
"That's right! Even if you guess it's us, what can you do? If you want to sue us, you have to have evidence!"
"That's it...!"
After hearing this, several other people's eyes lit up and they immediately nodded in agreement.
After leaving the palace, each person took out a hundred gold and pooled their money together. After being introduced by someone, they found a group of ruthless gangsters from other counties to squat outside the mansion of Jiang Yongshou and others.
But no one was seen coming or going for several days, so the gangster leader swung his arms to look for Ding Yougang.
"Are you making trouble with me? There are no people in the households you are talking about!"
"What? No one? How is this possible?"
Ding Youhang was stunned immediately.
It has only been a few days, how can there be no one left?
"If you don't believe it, go and see for yourself...!"
The gangster leader didn't care about his humble official position. He shouted angrily in front of him, "I've sent people to inquire, and those households have all moved away before you paid the money! You guys are making trouble with me." How about playing? Dozens of us brothers have been freezing outside for several days! Let me tell you, this is your own mistake, and we will not refund the money!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, completely ignoring Ding Youhang's reaction.
Ding Youbing was still wondering what was going on with Jiang Yongshou and others. When he realized what was going on, the gangster leader had long since disappeared!
"Damn it, I really saw a ghost!"
After suffering such a big loss, he was so angry that he cursed.
Now I finally understand what it means to beat the odds.
Not to mention that the money has been spent and the matter has not been completed, how should I explain this to the Ning family? How to explain to my father?
"well……!"
After sighing for a long time, Ding Cheng had to truthfully explain the matter to the Ning brothers.
The brothers of the Ning family were also reasonable. After complaining to them for a few times, they went back to report to their father.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Ning Xingwang's eyes widened with anger, and he could not get angry for a long time.
"Mr. Zhong, go find the doctor quickly!"
The sons were so frightened that they hurried out of the house to find the doctor.
"puff……"
Before they could get out of the door, Ning Xingwang spat out blood and rolled his eyes.
"Dad? Dad? How are you, Dad?"
"Dad, don't scare me!"
"Dad! Wake up...!"
When the sons saw this, they immediately rushed over, knelt in front of the bed, and started crying and shouting.
Even so, Ning Xingwang did not move again, and his body gradually cooled down!
"Dad! Why did you leave like that?"
"I am a child who is incompetent and cannot avenge you!"
"It's all because of the bad idea that guy Ding Youpin came up with that made you so angry that it took your life...!"
In addition to blaming themselves, the sons resented the Ding family.
If their idea hadn't failed, their father would have only been lingering on the sickbed, and he wouldn't have died at all!
At this time, the situation at the Ding family was not optimistic. Ding Cheng was furious after hearing that he had spent money but still couldn't find anyone.
Fortunately, his condition was milder than that of Ning Xingwang, and the doctor came in time to save his life.
However, when he was beaten, his lower back was pressed against a stone. Even after he recovered, he could only lie on the bed. He would never walk again for the rest of his life!
The ministers only knew that Jiang Yongshou and others beat Ding Cheng and Ning Xingwang that day, and had no idea that Ding Youbing was looking for someone to seek revenge.
I'm still wondering, even though Jiang Yongshou and others were cruel that day, it wouldn't be enough to kill them.
Why did the Ning family suddenly hang up white silk and hold a funeral?
The Ding family felt so sorry that they went to express their condolences with gifts, but the Ning family didn't even let them in and just drove them away, which made the Ding family unhappy.
Jiang Yongshou ran away and it had nothing to do with them. Why should he blame them all?
At this point, the two families have finally broken up!
After this incident subsided, it was already November.
The censorship platform was officially cancelled, and the reporting department was stationed in the court.
If it is found that there is a corrupt official, you can discuss the solution directly in the court, and you don't have to go to the palace frequently to report it!
