At night, the Majestic Marquis Mansion.
The powerful Marquis, who is rich and middle-aged, sits on the chair with an ugly face.
There were two beautiful women in the hall, one of whom was kneeling, crying with the rain, heartbroken.
Another beautiful woman whispered comfort.
The second daughter disappeared mysteriously today. Combined with the impact of the carriage before the incident, the Weiwu Hou concluded that her daughter was kidnapped.
He passed through the possible enemies in his mind. It should be unlikely to talk about political enemies. After all, his title has been hereditary to replace him and has gradually been squeezed out on the edge of the power stage of the imperial capital.
Of course, the nobles who are grouped together are still an interest group that cannot be ignored.
But there is still a difference between the whole and the individual. Marquis of Weiwu did not remember that he had such a political enemy who was willing to hijack the women in his family.
As for the enemy, they have not made enemies with others recently.
The master has already reported to the official and has also notified the Jinwu Guard who is guarding the city gate. Don’t worry, Ying'er will find it back.
Sister, Ying'er is a weak woman. If she encounters something... she can't survive even if she finds it back.
Weiwuhou's face twitched, his face getting darker.
At this time, the servant rushed in and shouted: Marquis, the lady has found it...
Marquis Weiwu and his two wives rushed to the front hall and saw their haggard daughter who was still in tears, as well as the Imperial Sword Guard who sent them back.
After asking the housekeeper to send away the Imperial Sword Guard with the reward silver, Weiwu Hou looked at his daughter for a moment and breathed a sigh of relief: Ying'er, what's going on.
Zhang Yuying was hugged by her crying mother and cried: It was the young master of Zhou Shilang’s family who tied me up. He not only wanted to tarnish his daughter’s innocence, but also planned to kill her daughter to silence her.
I immediately told you what I saw and heard, and vividly added how I took advantage of the care of the guards' negligence and escaped from the wolf's den.
Marquis, you must make the decision for your concubine and for Ying'er.Zhang Yuying's biological mother was trembling all over.
Marquis, Zhou Li bullied Ying'er again and again, and was also bullying our Marquis's Mansion.The wife said in a deep voice.
The Weiwu Hou was furious and slapped the table with a palm, trembling all over: The surname Zhou is too bullying!
the next day.
Meridian Gate, east side gate.
The civil and military officials who went to court were surprised to find that the Weiwu Hou was wearing armor today, but there were no weapons hanging around his waist.
……
An interesting thing happened in the court that day.
The Weiwu Hou put on armor and went to the hall, carrying out his ancestors' merits, and accused Mr. Zhou of tears.
He shouted: The ancestors overcome difficulties for the emperor, and they were born and died. The daughters of later generations were bullied. Your Majesty did not protect him. Isn’t it a shame to the hearts of the soldiers in the world...
Things are very troubled.
The culprit Zhou Li was confused. Why didn’t I know when I kidnapped the second lady of the Zhang family?
Emperor Jing of Yuan was furious and ordered Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and the Censorate to handle the case and give the result within two days.
As the suspect in the case, Zhou Lizhou’s first stop was the Censorate.
The person responsible for interrogating him was the Censor of the City.
This sixth-rank official sat in front of the case and gave Mr. Zhou a slap.
After beating Zhou Li, he cried and called him a mother, and then slapped the arson: Zhou Li, the yard where the daughter of the Weiwu Hou was detained is your private residence?
yes!Zhou Li can only admit it.
It is very common for powerful nobles to buy private houses in the inner city. When Zhou Li bought the yard, he did not ask anyone to handle it.
His name is on the deed, and there are also procedures for purchasing a house in the government office.
Since it is your yard, there is no need to say it, sign and seal it!
Two yamen runners stepped forward, one took the confession letter, and the other forced Zhou Li to seal the ban.
According to the process of review of the three departments, after the Censorate’s review is completed, the verdict will be handed over to the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice does not agree with the result of the Censorate’s review and must be retried.
So Mr. Zhou was sent to the Ministry of Justice, where his treatment changed drastically.
The doctor in charge of the trial of the case was thoughtful and found a doctor to apply golden sore medicine to Mr. Zhou’s bloody buttocks.
After several hours of interrogation, the Ministry of Justice overthrew the Censorate and determined that Zhou Li was innocent and someone framed him.
The files were transferred to Dali Temple.
Without saying a word, Dali Temple made another slap for Zhou Li. After some rigorous interrogation, Dali Temple rejected the verdict of the Ministry of Justice and believed that Zhou Li was guilty.
The next day, he saw that Dali Temple, the Censorate and the Ministry of Justice each had their own opinions and did not give a result. Emperor Jing of Yuan ordered the three departments to hold a trial, and the case was escalated.
Dali Temple sent a temple chief and two temple ministers; the Ministry of Justice sent two doctors and four chief officials; the Censorate Office sent two censors to patrol the city.
A total of eleven officials tried the case together.
The camp where the three departments tried was that the Ministry of Justice felt that Zhou Li was not guilty because of a thief.Dali Temple and the Censorate unanimously determined that Zhou Li was guilty.
The two sides had a fight for a whole day, but there was no result after not deciding the outcome.
Until dusk, a white-clothed official from Si Tianjian was invited to the yamen.
According to Your Majesty's order, come to assist in the case.After the white clothes from Si Tianjian explained his purpose, he looked at Zhou Li who was kneeling in front of the hall and shouted:
Zhou Li, you have hijacked the mighty Marquis of Zhang Yuying.
Zhou Li shook his head repeatedly: I don’t, it’s not me, I was wronged.
The officials stared at Si Tianjian's white clothes.
The white-clothed man said righteously: He is lying!
Zhou Li's face was bloodless.
……
Three days later, Mr. Zhou was dismissed from office and served as an army because he was greedy for money and food in the treasury and was not strict in teaching his children.His son Zhou Li was exiled to southern Xinjiang.
……
Fifty riders were sailing slowly on the official road, and Uncle Xu rode his horse to lead the way, and the horse's hooves were fast in the spring breeze.
After the news of Mr. Zhou's fall, Xu Pingzhi pulled Xu Qi'an and Xu Erlang to drink all night.There is both the pleasure of revenge and the ease of lifting heavy burdens.
The two brothers followed Xu Pingzhi on horseback, and Xu Erlang said: I want to ask my elder brother for advice if I have something to do.
Xu Dalang looked at him: I was curious why Zhou Li admitted this crime, or in other words, the court bosses such as Weiwu Hou could not see through this not-so-wise frame-up?
Xu Erlang pondered: I only thought of some of it. For Zhou Shilang’s political enemies, it doesn’t matter whether Zhou Li was wronged or not.They will seize this chip and bite Zhou Shilang to death.
And for Weiwuhou, this is an opportunity to take revenge.In the past, he could not beat Mr. Zhou because he had no help. Now it is a good opportunity given by God.So he covered his armor and went to the hall that day, and the troubles were everywhere in the court.
As for whether his daughter was tied up by Zhou Li, he might be suspicious, but before there was enough evidence, it was obviously this Grand Master Zhou who bullied his daughter again and again and again.
What I can't understand is that Zhou Li did not do this. Mr. Zhou and his accomplices knew it well and should make a response.
Why did you think I went to Sitianjian that day?Xu Qi'an laughed: Remember what is the eighth rank of Si Tianjian called?
The eighth-grade Qi-seeing Master... Xu Xinnian's eyes bloomed and she suddenly realized.
When the tax and silver case was first held, the sorcerers of Si Tianjian participated in the tracking and trial of the case, which shows that the current emperor is dependent on Si Tianjian.Xu Qi'an looked ahead, and the spring breeze was proud:
The case looks unreasonable at first glance, but if you check it carefully, you will find that there are no clues left... Well, brother, I am professional in this regard.Coupled with the fact that the case is destined to be troublesome and difficult to investigate. The easiest and most effective method is of course to find a sorcerer from Si Tianjian.
Xu Xinnian was convinced: So, the eldest brother bribed the warlock of Si Tianjian.
vulgar!Xu Qi'an spat and said openly: How can the matter of an alchemist be called bribery? It is equivalent exchange!
After a pause, he said: Farewell to the old days, remember that except for blood relatives, any friends and enemies in this world are all because of the word "interest", especially in the officialdom.
No one will treat you well for no reason, and no one will hate you for no reason.Even if it is your best friend, he will make friends with you, your existence will definitely play a positive role in him.
In the future, if you enter the court as an official, my elder brother hopes that you can be a capable minister, not a clean official.Xu Qi'an instilled his personal goods into his younger brother and said slowly: Remember, be in harmony with the light.
To train the younger brother to become the chief assistant of Dafeng, we must first make him become his own shape.Otherwise, what's the use of cultivating a prime minister who is different and unplanned?
Xu Xinnian looked into the distance and said loudly: Being with light and dust... What if I lost in the mist of power in the future?
That is your own fortune. Of course, if you turn a farewell to the old man and become a treacherous minister who is in trouble, your elder brother will clean up the door.Xu Qi'an said half jokingly and half seriously.
good!Xu Xinnian competes with each other: If my elder brother becomes the warrior who will harm the other side in the future, I will do the same.
Why do I feel like I have set up a flag? Xu Qi'an coughed and looked at Xu Pingzhi: Second Uncle, you want to testify for us.
roll!Xu Pingzhi turned around and cursed: "You keep talking and fighting with your family, do you think I don't exist?"
The powerful Marquis, who is rich and middle-aged, sits on the chair with an ugly face.
There were two beautiful women in the hall, one of whom was kneeling, crying with the rain, heartbroken.
