Liu Qingzong waited for another half an hour before Old Lin and his son arrived home. After seeing Liu Qingzong from a distance, Old Lin came trotting over.
"Master Liu, you are here, come in quickly..."
Old man Lin was very enthusiastic about Liu Qingzong.
Liu Qingzong did not refuse Old Man Lin's invitation.
The three people entered the courtyard like this, and then Liu Qingzong was taken into the main room by Old Man Lin, but his son did not follow.
Inside the main room, it was clean and tidy, and there was still a faint scent of jasmine.
Ordinary people's homes, of course, don't have any high chairs or high stools. They are all small stools. For a tall man like Liu Qingzong, sitting on them looks a bit nondescript.
After Old Man Lin and Liu Qingzong sat down, they sighed and said.
"Master Liu, my son and I went to other people's homes and asked, but they were unwilling to come forward to testify. Alas..."
"They are all ordinary people. They all had the courage to file a lawsuit seven years ago. After all these years, they still have to live. They don't dare to bring up the old things again, which is normal."
"Hey, tell me, we are the only one and we are weak. How can we still win?"
After Old Man Lin finished speaking, he looked a little helpless.
They are all ordinary people. None of them have eaten imperial food for three generations. It is difficult for them to sue such a big official. If it were not for the help of the neighbors in this alley, their family might have disappeared.
But Old Man Lin knew the danger and the difficulty, but he never thought of giving up.
His daughter, who had done nothing wrong, had her innocence tarnished and her whole life ruined. He could not swallow this feeling no matter what.
Since meeting Liu Qingzong a year ago, he has begun to actively contact the families who were victims. However, these families finally have a stable life. Even if there is resentment in their hearts, the stability of the whole family still makes them retreat.
Liu Qingzong said softly: "It doesn't matter, I will definitely win. I have already filed a complaint, met with Your Majesty, and have the imperial edict from Your Majesty on me. As long as your family is willing to testify, I will definitely bring Geng Bingzhong and Geng Huai to justice." .”
"This, the emperor also knows about this."
"Yes, although the files of the Ministry of Punishment are gone, this matter does exist. The governor and the chief envoy have all served in Shaanxi for more than ten years, and they also know that this case can be won as long as Geng Huai is found."
"But, Xi'an is a big city, how can we find it?"
"Someone will help us find it." Liu Qingzong said softly.
While the two were talking, the woman came over with two more bowls of water.
When he saw the woman coming, Liu Qingzong stood up quickly, like a frightened bird.
This action shocked both the old man Lin and the woman.
When he was outside, Liu Qingzong was reserved and normal, but when he entered the room, a relatively closed space, he became frightened when a woman approached him.
What's more, this woman is exactly the image of a graceful lady in Liu Qingzong's heart...
At the age of twenty-two, he was named on the gold medal list. At the age of twenty-four, he was admitted to the Hanlin Academy due to his good calligraphy and good articles. At the age of twenty-seven, he was admitted to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
This is already a sure winner in life.
But he has never been under the same roof with a woman, never...
Therefore, Liu Qingzong was a little panicked.
"Mr. Liu, what's wrong with you?" Old Man Lin said and stood up.
"Nothing, nothing." Liu Qingzong said quickly, and then carefully took the tea bowl from the woman's hand, for fear of bumping into others.
This kind of restraint makes this woman curious...
The woman’s name is Jasmine, Lin Moli.
If she had not encountered that kind of thing, she would have married a long time ago and given birth to children. But when she was fifteen years old, she met a beast and changed her life.
But this woman did not seek death like other women. Instead, she followed her father and embarked on the path of filing a complaint...
After taking the tea, Liu Qingzong drank it all nervously.
Both times I drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking, Liu Qingzong returned the tea bowl to Lin Moli in a polite manner.
Old man Lin saw Liu Qingzong's slightly dull movements, glanced at his daughter again, and sighed helplessly.
What are you dreaming about? How could someone from an official family fall in love with a daughter from a family like ours? What’s more, she’s not innocent...
"Sir, you just said, who can help us find..." Lin Moli just heard the conversation between Liu Qingzong and her father outside the door.
Liu Qingzong became slightly nervous after hearing this.
"There will definitely be someone who can help us find it, Father Lin. I have brought two people. They are both from the capital and have some skills. I will let them stay here for the past two days. I am afraid that those people will jump over the wall in a hurry."
"Then what should you do?" Before Old Lin could speak, Lin Moli took the lead and asked.
"I live in Guanyi, and I have the emperor's order on me. No one dares to do anything against me." Liu Qingzong replied. After saying these words, Liu Qingzong bowed his hands to Old Man Lin, and then left in a panic. room.
Looking at his back, Lin Moli asked: "Dad, where did you find this official? Why did I look at it? It seems a bit unreliable."
"Don't talk nonsense. He is an official in the capital, an official in the capital, and an official in charge of our Xi'an city."
"But why is his official robe so dirty?"
"It goes without saying that I am a good official. I don't have money to ask my servants to wash my clothes, and I can't wash them clean myself." Old man Lin replied. "Why are you asking so many questions? My daughter, please don't think too much..."
"Dad, I know, I have resigned myself to my fate a long time ago..." Lin Moli said softly, without any emotion on her face, as if her words were a true reflection of her heart.
After Liu Qingzong left the courtyard, he left the two guards who came with him here, and then walked towards the governor's Yamen alone.
Li Bing received the order four days ago, asking him to go to Xi'an Mansion to cooperate with Liu Qingzong in investigating the case.
The order did not say what case to investigate, and Li Bing did not dare to be careless. After receiving the order, he set off from Kaifeng and arrived in Xi'an.
At this time in the governor's yamen.
Li Bing sat at the top.
Zhao Yingming, the chief envoy of Shaanxi Province, Geng Pingzhong, the chief envoy of Shaanxi Province, and Guo Song, son of Guo Deng, the governor of Shaanxi Province, were sitting on both sides.
They only found out about the censor's arrival in Xi'an this morning.
Li Bing has been implementing the new tax system in recent years and doesn't know much about Xi'an Prefecture.
Guo Song was a foreigner, and he became the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi in the 11th year of Chenghua.
Only Zhao Yingming and Geng Pingzhong knew what case the censor came to investigate...
There were only two people who felt a little uneasy at this time.
Although Zhao Yingming was not the mastermind, in the seventh year of Chenghua, when Geng Pingzhong was the prefect of Xi'an, he was the inspector.
Back then, he acquiesced in a series of things happening. Now that the incident has happened, he can't escape his involvement. He can only go all the way to help Geng Bingzhong tide over the difficulties...
"The censor appointed by His Majesty himself has asked me to come to assist. What kind of earth-shattering case is this?" biquge.biz
"During this period, I am not in Shaanxi, and I don't know about it. All three adults can tell me what happened in Xi'an during these days..."
Li Bing looked at several people and said softly.
After hearing Li Bing's words, everyone secretly called "Old Fox" and wanted to stay out of the matter.
