Aha! This was the first rare thing he encountered in his ten years as an official.
Jing Zhaoyin looked at her carefully and saw that this woman's clothes were old and her face was sad and cowering. She was kneeling in the hall and trembling. Such a timid person must not dare to go to court to sue her mother-in-law. Instruct.
In an instant, Jing Zhaoyin thought of Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming must have used this woman to restore his reputation for what happened yesterday. This Xiao Ming, at such a young age, is really impatient. Relying on the relationship with Princess Linlang, he dares to stir up trouble. He doesn't even think about the fact that in the capital city of Nuo, someone who can go to Xinglin to seek comfort and cause trouble has no one to support him. Where are you?
You can't stand this anymore, are you inciting people to cause trouble?
Jing Zhaoyin was angry in his heart. As a Beijing official, he was the most annoyed by this plywood. He didn't dare to offend anyone and had to pretend to be a grandson everywhere. Xiao Ming actually handed the case to him.
Can’t you see in a place as big as the Ministry of Justice?
Jing Zhaoyin was dissatisfied with Xiao Ming who caused trouble, and he had no sympathy for the women in the hall. It was always a big disrespect to disrespect one's relatives and elders, but this woman actually sued her mother-in-law in court, which was even more outrageous. For serious unfilial piety, according to the laws of this dynasty, anyone who sues an elder for being disrespectful or unfilial will, regardless of the reason, first be punished with thirty lashes.
A lot of onlookers have gathered in the courtroom to watch the excitement. Whenever there is a yamen trial, there is no shortage of good people who come to watch the excitement, and some even bring small benches from home.
At this time, the onlookers were talking a lot about the woman's complaint and scolded her for being unfilial.
Jing Zhaoyin's short beard curled up, his face was solemn, and he gave a startled look, with a certain dignity: "Nonsense, nonsense, this is your first offense. I will forgive your sin and leave quickly."
Hurry, hurry, I want to go back and take a nap.
"Wait!"
Jing Zhaoyin looked around for the sound, and saw a young man walking into the courtroom from the crowd. He was not old, about 20 years old, dressed in brocade clothes, very smartly dressed, with a handle hanging on his waist. knife.
Standing in court, he is neither humble nor arrogant, but more than calm.
Jing Zhaoyin's eyes narrowed and he embroidered the Spring Sword. Only the Royal Guards in the palace or the followers of various families who came from the Royal Guards were qualified to wear this sword.
In short, those who can use this sword are people of status, and the masters behind them are people of status and status.
"I have been ordered by Prince Luo to give Mr. Gu a message. My prince said, 'Xinglin is a place to save people. There are countless people alive and relieve people's suffering. We should respect, value and protect places like this, but there are actually places like this. The lawless people dare to do despicable and shameless things, waste human life, and ruin the reputation of Xinglin. I hope that Sir Gu can report it to the public and catch the real culprit as soon as possible, so that Xinglin can be innocent, the world can be restored to peace, and evil spirits can be eliminated..."
Long story, in short, Xinglin is protected by this prince.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the hall was shocked. This is a big deal.
Mr. Jingzhao Yingu's expression changed drastically. He dared not sit still. He stood up, clasping his fists and nodding like garlic. He no longer had any shirk, and his attitude was conscientious: "Yes, yes, Shen Shizi understands the sentiments of the people and asks for orders for the people." , I will definitely handle this case with all my heart, find out the true culprit, restore Xinglin’s innocence, and restore peace to the people.”
"Then please leave it to Master Gu." The guard bowed his hands and left.
"My lord, my lord..." The master with a small beard called Lord Gu back to Hun'er in a low voice.
"Um."
"Sir, let's continue the investigation." The master looked at the people kneeling in the hall, and he also had the feeling of surviving the disaster in his heart. He didn't expect that Xiao Ming not only married Linlang County, but also allowed Prince Luo to come forward to defend him. .
Everyone in the capital knew that Prince Luo was one of the only candidates for the future emperor.
Mr. Gu...
Want to cry...
It was a good day to send away a princess and bring in a prince. He wanted to find a place to die.
This is a big deal.
Naturally, Xiao Ming also heard about it. It was she who used Shen Che's gold-gilt name sticker to do something to show off. This name sticker was shamelessly given to her by Shen Che before. His original words were, I took what was hers and ate what was hers, and had nothing to repay except a name sticker.
Just before Xiao Ming left the city yesterday, he called to go to Prince Luo's Mansion, and that's how the guards took his name to the court today.
If Shen Che hadn't been sent out to the city yesterday to run errands, he would have been humiliated by the Xiao family today.
She just wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble and see if she could find out the person behind this incident.
Although the other party acts secretly, but! There are always clues left by the passing geese, and they can always be pulled out of the radish and brought out of the mud.
Within two days, Mr. Gu really found some clues. He arrested the victim's family and threatened them for interrogation. He focused on taking care of the old woman who fed her son arsenic and the son who went to buy arsenic. , I went through the matter carefully and found a clue.
The other party was indeed cautious, but he never expected that this family was also not clean. The youngest son of this family had a habit of stealing, and took a snuff bottle from the other party unprepared, with the intention of threatening some money in the future. The son was handed over obediently under Master Gu's torture service.
Taking this as a breakthrough, Mr. Gu followed the clues and really found out the person. He wouldn't know it until he checked. When he checked, he was shocked to find that the person was actually a distant nephew who was in charge of the Zhang family of the Grand Scholar of Zhongji Palace.
Haha, he said, anyone who dares to openly provoke trouble has a background behind it.
The Zhang family, a scholar of the Zhongji Palace, is also an assistant minister of the cabinet. He has been an official for many years. He knows how deep the water behind this is. Does he dare to take someone? Who to take, the steward of the Zhang family? Or the master behind it?
If he was so stupid, the grass on his grave would have been seven feet high.
With a decent smile on her face, Xiao Ming looked at Mr. Gu who came to the door in person, and said politely: "I didn't expect that such a small case would bring Mr. Gu Lei to the door in person, which frightened Xiao Ming."
"Doctor Xiao, you are too polite. Asking for orders for the people and upholding justice are the duties of a lower official." Facing Xiao Ming, the ancient master behaved very politely. He did not believe every word Xiao Ming said.
Little things? Is it a small thing?
Can Prince Shen be invited out for such a trivial matter?
Do you think he is stupid?
"After an in-depth investigation of this case, I discovered that the mastermind behind this case is a man named Yu Chengqiang. He is a street gangster and does not have a serious business. He usually does some deception and kidnapping, and robs merchants of their property. This time, seeing Xinglin’s rise in fame, he became malicious.”
"Really?" Xiao Ming smiled with unclear meaning, so she said it was Xinglin's big tree that attracted the wind. Is Mr. Gu trying to remind her that Xinglin was too ostentatious?
"Master Gu worked hard in governing the capital and made great achievements. He was kind-hearted and loved the people. He was a good official who loved his country and his people." Is that right? It is only with the connivance of a kind person like you that a scoundrel like Yu Chengqiang has repeatedly committed evil.
So when something goes wrong, it's all because the victim was too ostentatious.
