Sometimes, Song Wen also wanted to muster up the courage to stick out his neck and let out a roar of his own, and also wanted to find someone to express his grievances.
But it doesn’t work.
He cannot bear the price of being willful.
At this moment, Di Ying's words really touched Song Wen's heart.
Song Wen was almost in tears as he spoke. He really wanted to take Di Ying and pour out all the bitterness in his belly.
But in the end... I still held back.
He had just met Di Ying for the first time, so Song Wen had to keep his mouth shut.
After thinking for a while, Song Wen said: "Master Di, please wait a moment. I will go and call some people to come with you."
After saying that, he hurried towards the office area.
Di Ying looked at Song Wen's back, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
When Di Ying went to Beijing to take the exam, he and Di Shun not only understood the topography, but also the humanities and officials at all levels in the imperial court.
Several years have passed, and nothing has changed much. Di Ying has also experienced Song Wen.
He knew that Song Wen was not a corrupt official and was fairly fair in his dealings. It was just crushed into a little turtle.
Di Ying didn't mind making friends with such a person.
Anyway, in Di Ying's mind: He who does not harm the people is a good official.
After waiting for a while, Song Wen arrived with a dozen subordinate officials.
A group of people were strolling around like this, preparing to go to the southern suburbs.
As we walked, a few people began to whisper.
"How can we walk here? It's such a long way."
"That's it, isn't it obvious that he is torturing us? When did we offend him and what happened?"
"Hey, what are you talking about offending? He's just a new official, so he's just trying to show off to us, right?"
"Tsk, as for that. Using us to show off our prestige seems to add more luster to him. What do you think?"
Just as he was talking, he discovered that the new official, Mr. Di, not only used them to show off his power, but also walked towards the passers-by, cupping his hands and shouting.
"Dear fellow citizens, I am Di Ying, the newly appointed Youcheng of Dali Temple, an official of the fourth rank.
What? You ask what does Youcheng of Dali Temple do?
Haha, what do you think Dali Temple is for?
That is a place for us ordinary people to redress their grievances.
In the future, if you have any cases or feel wronged, remember to come to us.
We can definitely do it beautifully for you.
What? Can’t read or write a petition? No money to file a complaint?
It's okay, it's okay, we don't care about those people, as long as you can explain clearly what the case is, I can also treat you to tea.
ha? Are they all corrupt officials?
Don't talk nonsense, there are still many good officials in our court, and I, Di Ying, am one. You have to trust me. If it doesn't work, try it and see if you can believe it?
Haha, that’s right. You don't have to pay any money to complain to me, and you don't have to get slapped with a slap on the wrist. What can I do if you try?
That's right, no, I have a case on hand right now. If you have time, why not go and take a look?
What case?
It's not big or small, it's just that something was lost in another fourth-grade official's courtyard. Let's just exercise our legs and feet, take a look, and enjoy the scenery. Aren't you curious about what it's like in the high official's courtyard?
Hey, just be curious, let’s go and have a look. "
How curious the people are. Being "encouraged" by such a message, all those who are not in a hurry will follow.
He also chatted with Di Ying about home affairs.
Song Wen and the dozen or so officials were all pushed to the back...
Just listen to Di Ying chatting animatedly with everyone.
When we chatted outside Wu Jianhui's courtyard, we were not all happy yet.
Wu Jianhui had already been drinking tea in the other courtyard, and was waiting leisurely for Di Ying to arrive, when he heard the report from the steward that a large group of people had arrived.
Wu Jianhui's face turned green.
After throwing the tea cup, he called the guards and guards and rushed out angrily, shouting at Di Ying: "What do you want to do?!"
Then he pointed at the common people and scolded: "What do you untouchables want to do? I am the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and this is my other courtyard. What do you want to do? Become a garden? Go on, go on, keep going. , my legs are discounted for you!"
The common people were chatting and listening, and came here unknowingly. Suddenly seeing the high official shouting like this and being pointed at angrily, they immediately shrank their necks in fright and stepped back.
A little scared and a little angry, I felt that I and others had been fooled by Di Ying. They all thought in their hearts: The previous harmony was all fake, huh, as expected, officials are not good people.
Di Ying did not look back at the doubtful and angry eyes of the people.
He took a step forward, stood at the front, and said loudly: "I have been ordered by Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the case of lost items in this courtyard. Anyone who obstructs will regard His Majesty's order as nothing and get out of the way!"
Wu Jianhui didn't give in.
He put his hands on his hips and glared at Di Ying: "You are the only one who can carry out His Majesty's will. You can't even think of using a tiger's skin as a banner and leading so many untouchables into my villa!"
"Oh, what a big hat. Are you breaking into the hospital? Are we in?"
Di Ying responded with a cold "scoff" and continued: "You won't let me, right? Okay!"
Di Ying stopped talking to Wu Jianhui.
He turned around and said to the common people: "I heard that there are many and beautiful flowers in the flower house over there. The rouge and gouache used by His Majesty are all made from the flowers there. We will not enter the dog official's other courtyard. Let’s go enjoy the flowers.”
"Di Ying, you dare!"
Wu Jianhui was so angry that he ran down the stone steps in front of the gate of the courtyard to stop Di Ying.
Di Ying's face darkened.
He asked him with a sullen face: "You are not allowed to enter other courtyards or enjoy the flowers. Master Zuo Shilang clearly wants to obstruct the handling of the case? Do you still remember what your Majesty told you? What should I do if there are obstructionists?"
Wu Jianhui: "..."
At this time, Song Wen squeezed through the crowd.
He held up his crooked hat, smiled ingratiatingly, and said to smooth things over: "Master Zuo Shilang, don't be angry, Master Di, don't be angry either. If you have something to say, say it well, and say it well."
After saying that, he bent down and asked Wu Jianhui to stand aside, and then whispered to him: "In this other courtyard..."
Song Wen glanced at the other courtyard and then said: "What's left is all for you to see. Mr. Di has taken office as a new official and wants to show it to the people.
Just let them in. Otherwise, I'm afraid he will lose face and make things worse.
Don't worry, Xiaguan and a dozen other officials are following us, so there won't be any big trouble. You should calm down, the case has to be solved, right?
Your Majesty, I got some good tea from the Ministry of Internal Affairs yesterday. Can I deliver it to you tomorrow? I heard it can strengthen your body. "
