Sometimes the palace is sunny

When the chime sounded, Yiji took a careful look at the young man sitting behind the case.

"He" is reading a booklet.

The Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace is not as quiet as it used to be. In the main hall outside, Gao Wanxin, the female official of the imperial court, is leading the female officials to sort out the files, occasionally making rustling noises.

The tea on the royal table stopped steaming a moment ago.

Yiji carefully picked up the teacup, intending to replace the cold tea inside with hot one.

"You don't need to pour this tea."

One hand took the teacup away from Yiji's hand, and Yiji looked over, and saw the emperor drank the warm tea in the teacup in one gulp.

"The earth dragon in the Nuan Pavilion is hot, and the warm tea is better."

"Slave maid, why don't you find two celadon urns and put them in the warm pavilion?"

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Shen Shiqing put the memorial in his hand aside, "It doesn't have to be a good variety to grow two pots of narcissus on Duobaoge. Go to the flower market outside to find two pots of single-petaled narcissus. The pots don't have to be expensive. Find two pots of narcissus. An oval blue and white urn, just put a few pebbles on it."

Today's emperor is very simple and elegant, and has a very high taste. The famous calligraphy and paintings, gold and stone rubbings, and even the inscriptions on the bronze toys hanging in the palace can explain one or two. How to decorate and how to match colors are very organized.

The former emperor never took these things to heart, but liked all kinds of luxury toys. There must be many gems, pearls must be large, and brocades must be many...

His eyes swept across the elegant and extraordinary Nuan Pavilion, and he bowed a little deeper:
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the slaves will definitely do well."

"I'm always at ease when you do things, let alone such trivial things."

Watching Yiji refill her cup of tea, she tapped her finger on the table lightly: "Then Wu Chongmin is still under Jin Yiwei's control?"

"Going back to the emperor, it's just that, the excuse is to prevent the assassin from coming again, and has been sending people to watch."

"No change these days?"

"Back to the emperor, Wu Chongmin sent people several times to contact the Bai family who wanted to kill Shi Xinmei, but they were all stopped by Jin Yiwei. In addition, Wu Chongmin has a concubine who has always wanted to make clothes."

"Have you checked that clothes store?"

"I have detained everyone in the shop and questioned them carefully, but there is nothing unusual. I also checked the regular customers who often go to that shop."

Yiji took out a few thin sheets of paper from his body: "There are more than 70 families in total, and the relationship between each family has also been checked."

Shen Shiqing took it over and took a look, her eyes froze for a moment on the few lines.

"This Sun's family used to be servants of the Ning Anbo Mansion."

"Go back to the emperor, that's right."

Yiji lowered his head and calculated carefully. The silk and satin village that Wu Chongmin's concubine often goes to is also a time-honored brand on Gulou Street. If His Majesty hadn't been watching this matter, Jinyiwei would not have spent a lot of effort to sell each family within three months. The guests who have been here have checked it out.

There are many dignitaries and dignitaries in the city of Yanjing. If we talk about wealth, the Sun family is naturally not one of them.

What the current emperor is staring at is the Ning'an House behind the Sun family.

"The Wu family doesn't have to keep staring." Hearing what the emperor said, Yiji raised his head.

"How can a thousand households who have lost their arms be valued so much by Jin Yiwei? It's just a waste that can't even keep the official status."

The four eyes met, and Yiji quickly lowered his head again.

"Yes, my lord, this servant will definitely do a good job in this matter."

A bird caught in a net will pretend to be dead, and it will only struggle if it thinks that there are holes in the net.

Yiji bent down deeply again.

"I remember yesterday that the Four Rats sent a letter saying that Mrs. Shen is going to court today?"

"If you go back to the emperor, it's exactly. Looking at the time, it should have already started."

"Well. Ladies and gentlemen, you can go and listen."

"It's gone."

"Okay." Shen Shiqing picked up another memorial.

Yiji thought for a moment, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this time the three divisions will be interrogated. I'm afraid that Minister Zhuo of the Ministry of Punishment...does the servant give orders? So that Mrs. Shen will not be wronged."

"You think Zhuo Shengquan is mean and honors his name, he is good at exploiting camps and not caring for the people." Shen Shiqing smiled, looking down at the memorial in front of her, her voice was like beating a jade chime blown by the north wind.

"Since such a person is allowed to climb up to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, it is natural to use him."

"Yes, slaves talk too much."

Cold sweat trickled down from the back of his head and got into his collar.

Standing beside the imperial case, a chicken heard His Majesty say slowly:
"Everyone likes sharp blades, but only those who are hurt by sharp blades know the pain."

There was another leak.

Shen Shiqing picked up the ink brush on the side, and drew a cross on the memorial.

"The sharp blade that I forged myself must naturally be folded by myself to be interesting."

"The girl's reputation, this is considered a loss."

Through a door curtain, Ah Chi could clearly hear how his girl was swearing. Her eyes went dark and she almost fainted.

Tunan held her up.

A Chi clutched her sleeve, and it took him a while to catch his breath.

"Our girl insulted the servant of the Ministry of punishment, from now on, from now on..."

"Pass this level before you can have a future."

As Tunan was talking, he exchanged glances with a woman standing beside him.

The woman opened her mouth and said softly: "If we hadn't been pushed into a hurry, what a gentle and kind person our girl is."

Like weeping and sighing, it makes people feel sad.

When she said that, A Chi felt even more sad, and almost fell into her arms when his knees softened:
"Sister Chuiyun, why is our girl's life so hard!"

The woman patted A Chi on the shoulder and said nothing.

Above the lobby, Zhao Surui looked coldly at the men.

The expressions of the three interrogators were different, Shi Wence was only a little surprised, but after all, he had been traveling all over the world for many years, and he had heard worse things, but he just marveled at how hot-tempered Shen's niece is.

Du Feiqin raised one hand and covered his face with his sleeve.

Only Zhuo Shengquan's face was purple and black, obviously he was extremely angry.

"Come here! Take this criminal woman, Mrs. Shen, who offends her superiors and insults the court officials! Hit me! Beat! Swear at the fifth-rank and above officials, eighty sticks! Beat!"

The left and right yamen servants looked at each other, and then at Shi Wence, who really had the say in the procuratorate.

Seeing Shi Wence nodded:
"According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, insulting an official of the imperial court will indeed be punished with a stick."

Several yamen servants approached, Zhao Surui was not afraid, and still stared at Zhuo Shengquan with his eyes.

"Anyway, one curse is worth eighty sticks, and ten curses is also eighty sticks. I simply have enough words! Zhuo Shengquan! As the servant of the Ministry of punishment, you open your mouth and shut the "Dayong Law", but when you judge the case, you are full of thoughts. They are all male thieves and prostitutes! Whether a person is guilty is not judged by what he has done, but by whether he is a male or female! If it is a man, even if he has committed a heinous crime, you have to exonerate him! If it is a woman, the victim is clearly in your hands There are more layers of crimes in your eyes! How are you judging a case? You are just using the justice of "Dayong Law" to cover up your own corruption and filth! How dare you say that the mirror hangs high? Why don't you look in the mirror first Am I missing something! Courtesy, righteousness and shame have long been thrown thousands of miles away!"

"You keep saying "Dayong Law", "Dayong Law" says that killing Hu Hui and other scoundrels is only seventy sticks, and it takes only one and a half years. Besides, he is guilty of murder. What about you? Have you ever cared? No! You just stare at a woman who has been wronged and watched someone close to you die, and you say that she is a concubine with the person who bullied her!"

"Then Hu Huizhi's uncle bailed him several times, and he always indulged him behind his back. It's not an exaggeration to say that he was an accomplice. Why did you ever open your mouth to talk about his crime?"

Zhuo Shengquan's blood surged, his eyes turned black, and he almost fainted. He hammered his chest and shouted loudly:
"What are you waiting for! Cover her mouth and beat her!"

Hit it!

Zhao Surui sneered, after this meal, he must let Zhuo Shengquan's Nine Clans exchange it!

A few steps away, a government servant has already set up a stool for execution.

"Zhuo Shengquan, Mr. Zhuo, Mr. Zhuo! You can't refute a single sentence except using torture tools? Are you really telling me every word is right? Could it be that you really... oh, Mr. Shi, you can't do anything! I must send someone to Yizhuang to look at Hu Hui's body, be careful that he becomes a dish for others to drink with!"

Two yamen guards restrained Zhao Surui, but he did not resist, Pei Feng tried to stop him, but he stopped him with his eyes.

"I deserve this beating!" After he finished speaking, he smiled and looked at Bai Yindi who was lying on the ground with tears streaming down his face.

"Why cry, you should laugh, you..."

Zhao Surui was about to speak boldly to Bai Yindi, but Bai Yindi suddenly twisted her body and lay down on the ground:
"My lord! The woman wants to sue! Sue the lord in the hall, he said that I am the concubine of Hu Hui. The woman can't stand such slander!"

Strange things happen every year, especially this year. Some women killed people in court and claimed that they surrendered themselves, and some women even turned their backs on the judges on the spot.

The hall fell silent for a while.

Bai Yindi knocked her head heavily on the stone brick floor of the procuratorate lobby.

"My lords, Qi Xiu'er was really killed to save the women. She had a hard life all her life, so she just wanted to be innocent, but she couldn't. I beg my lord, return her innocence to her!"

There was blood on her head, which showed how hard Bai Yindi had exerted herself. She raised her head and stared straight at the adult in the red official robe.

This lord's official is really great.

After becoming such a big official, he is no longer a human being!

Du Feiqin stood up abruptly: "Master Bai, if you sue the officials, you will be punished with a rod first, you..."

Zhao Surui violently broke free from the yamen servant behind him, grabbed Bai Yindi up, and sneered:

"This is the time when I want to show my prestige, why are you coming out to join in the fun?"

Bai Yindi shook her head: "The girl avenged Qi Xiu'er, how can I watch the girl get beaten again?"

Zhao Surui was almost pissed off by this stubborn woman. All the yamen servants here knew that Shi Wence had an affair with him, even if they beat him, it was just a temporary pain. There is no reason for a "careless" to beat her to death!

"Your life was exchanged by Qi Xiu'er! Your joy, from that day on, is also Qi Xiu'er's. You have to live with your share, not for others!"

The two women in the hall were actually fighting to get justice from him!
Zhuo Shengquan was so angry that he wished he could cut the two of them alive.

With a slap on the gavel, he was about to order the two to be beaten together when he suddenly saw the curtain of the courtroom being lifted.

Along with the cold wind, there was a group of women.

The two leaders were wearing red dresses, which hurt his eyes.

"The procuratorate of Duanji Palace is all about Liang Yuying."

"Sheng Ling'er, head of the Procuratorate of Duanji Hall."

"The candidate female officer in the inner study has met several adults."

Watching a group of women salute, Du Feiqin and Shi Wence, except Zhuo Shengquan, quickly got up to return the salute.

"I'm going to listen to the case according to the order of the Holy Majesty, and I'm annoying the adults." With a smile on her face, Liang Yuying pointed to a candidate female officer, "Lian Moniang, you are responsible for recording everything in the hall, and you must not miss a single word." .”

"Yes." The woman who was named was in her twenties, with a foot-high wooden box on her shoulders. Hearing this, she immediately knelt down on the ground, using the wooden box as a table, and put a pen and paper on it.

Liang Yuying looked at the people in the hall again, still smiling:
"My lords, please continue."

Zhuo Shengquan had long been impatient with the posturing of these female officials, so he raised the gavel and said loudly, "Put these two people to torture!"

"Wait."

The gavel hangs in the air.

Zhuo Shengquan looked at the woman who stopped him: "Ma'am, what do you have to say? This is a court, and there are rules. Don't think this is your backyard. You can do whatever you want!"

"Thank you for your advice, my lord." Liang Yuying still smiled, "It's just that the officials and the others came a bit late, I don't know why these two people were tortured?"

Zhuo Shengquan took a deep breath: "One of them insults the official, and the other sues the official, they will all be punished!"

"So that's how it is, the lower officials are taught."

The female officer in the red dress took another step forward:
"My lord, may I ask, how did they scold you? And again, how did they sue you? To tell you the truth, I came here by holy order, and I will naturally write down everything I see and hear and hand it over to Your Majesty." .”

The smile on the female officer's face was gentle and modest, as if it was carved on her face and could not be worn away, but it gradually made Zhuo Shengquan feel a little chill in her heart.

She raised her hand and saluted again.

"Please enlighten me, my lord."

Zhuo Shengquan was still holding his gavel in his hand, but he couldn't say anything no matter what.

There are some things that he can do but cannot say, and he can say but cannot be recorded.

Zhao Surui was surprised for a moment when he saw his eldest aunt became the official of Rausch's son, and now he has already recalled it.

"Master Zhuo, how about I scold you again? No, it starts with Master Zhuo, as the servant of the Ministry of Punishment..."

Zhuo Shengquan's face turned purple again.

Looking at the female officer who was drawing a pen and didn't know what she was writing, he only felt that his official voice would be ruined by that woman's pen.

At this time, someone rescued him, it was Du Feiqin.

"Lord Zhuo, aren't we going to interrogate the matter of Hu Hui killing Qi Xiu'er?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, let's try the case, don't be disturbed by trivial matters!"

Zhuo Shengquan said hastily as if he had found a life-saving straw.

But he didn't know that Lian Mo'er, who was sitting on the ground, wrote:
"Zhuo Shengquan, the servant of the Ministry of Punishments, wanted to beat Shen and Bai with sticks. Liang Dushi asked why, saying that Shen insulted the ordering officer, and Bai sued the officials with the people. When he asked why, he didn't dare to say anything, so he stopped. "

Siri Zhao: Didn't you say that this chapter is my highlight?Why a group of women came out to steal the limelight from me?Even my aunt is on it?
Shen Shiqing: Your Majesty, why are your ears red?
