At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 314

In Wenyuan Pavilion, a scribe rushed in.

"It's not good, Mr. Cao..."

Cao Nai was discussing things with Zhang Yi, and when he saw this situation, he immediately looked unhappy.

"It's flustered, it doesn't look like it!"

"Yes, it's Peng...Master Peng, he, he..."

Seeing the anxious look of the scribe, Zhang Yi asked puzzledly, "I saw him on duty this morning, what happened?"

"Yes Yes……"

The clerk tried hard to swallow his saliva, and then said: "The crew made trouble and surrounded the Shuntian Mansion, Mr. Peng has already brought people there!"

After listening, Cao Nai and Zhang Yi looked at each other and asked, "What's going on?"

The clerk also heard the words, and immediately said: "I only heard that there was a crew member in Changping. After returning home, he found that all his relatives were dead. It seems that he was bullied to death by the local landlord. This person sued the landlord to Changping County. , but was convicted of sitting in reverse, the other crew members heard the news and thought that the man had been wronged, so they went to Shuntian Mansion to sue together.”

"Who are they... suing?"

"It is said that they are suing the magistrate of Changping!"

"The people sue the officials?"

Although the crew members are also of the same establishment, they have no officials or jobs after all, and they still belong to the common people.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was not a joke for people to sue officials.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang specially stipulated that in order to eliminate the rule of officials, if officials encountered corruption and perverted the law, the common people could submit complaints to the "supervising censor".

After the censor receives the pleadings, he will send the case back to the higher-level government to which the "defendant official" belongs, or the supervisory agency at the same level, that is, the procuratorate and other yamen for trial.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang also issued a special edict. People with the edict can go directly to Beijing to sue. Officials can't stop them, otherwise they will be killed without pardon.

But as time went on, it was rare to see such a sight.

In the Ming Dynasty, all those who could become officials and lords were the best of the best!
There are countermeasures at the top and policies at the bottom. As long as the officials and masters secretly use a little cleverness, it is impossible for a group of mud legs to turn the sky upside down.

The other is the issue of mutual protection between officials and officials. If you sue the officials today and I interrogate them, who knows if you will sue me tomorrow?

When people are officials in the same dynasty, they rely on each other. As long as it is not too much, everyone will turn a blind eye and close one eye. No matter how fierce you are, it will end in the end.

"That's right, these people went there holding a big letter. Shuntian Mansion took over the case, but said that Changping County's trial was fine. Those crew members quit and went to more than 100 people, and surrounded Shuntian Mansion!"

Cao Nai and Zhang Yi's complexions became more and more ugly, things are a bit serious.

These crew members have been drifting overseas for two years, who knows what they have done?
I want these people to abide by the law overseas, hehe, is there any law overseas?
Even if there is something to do, follow the rules, if it can't be done, you can come to the cabinet to find Peng Qing!

You know, Peng Qing has just entered the cabinet, how many people are jealous, these people go to make trouble, don't they give others a reason?

This is Shuntian Mansion, the capital, and the emperor's feet!

In broad daylight, the siege of Shuntian Mansion was clearly a brain trap...

Thinking of this, Cao Nai hurriedly stood up and said, "It's not good for anyone if things get serious, let's go see the emperor first!"

"Exactly!"

Zhang Yi also stood up, and the two hurried out of Wenyuan Pavilion and walked towards the imperial study.

However, as soon as he walked halfway, he saw two figures flashing past.

The strange thing is that, judging by their attire, they don't seem to be officials or eunuchs.

Moreover, they walk in a sneaky way, and when they see someone, they hide from a distance, and continue when no one is paying attention.

An idea suddenly popped up in Cao Nai's mind, could it be a thief?
However, the palace compound is heavily guarded, how could thieves come in?

He winked at Zhang Yi, the two followed quietly, and suddenly shouted: "Stop!"

With a sudden voice, the two people in front trembled in fright, and turned around...

"You guys are... the emperor, your majesty?"

Now, it was Cao Nai's turn to tremble, and the two who were stopped by them were actually the emperor and Fan Zhong.

Seeing the two of them bowing down, Zhu Qizhen quickly waved his hands and said in a low voice, "Don't shout, come here, come here!"

Cao Nai and Zhang Yi looked at each other in blank dismay, and hurried forward.

"emperor……"

"Shh!"

Zhu Qizhen made a silent gesture and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Cao Nai whispered: "I heard that there are sailors besieging Shuntian Mansion..."

"Oh, you're here for that too!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Qizhen.

"Both of you, change into your casual clothes now and follow me!"

Cao Nai was puzzled, and asked: "Your Majesty, this matter has a lot to do with it, and I'm worried..."

"I'm also worried, it's not too late to discuss with you, so I can only leave the palace in low clothes!"

Seeing Zhu Qizhen's serious face, Cao Nai finally realized, are you worried?

I'm afraid... Hurry up to watch the excitement!
That's right, he must have been worried that when he left the palace, he would be delayed by the cumbersome etiquette and missed the fun, so he ran out in a hurry...

However, the situation was urgent and there was no time to discuss these things now, so Cao Nai and Zhang Yi immediately returned to the public house, each changed into a set of casual clothes, and followed Zhu Qizhen out of the palace.

There was a carriage waiting outside the Meridian Gate. The original plan was that Fan Zhong would drive and Zhu Qizhen would ride alone, but now there were two more people, so in desperation, the three of them squeezed into the carriage.

Fan Zhong flicked the reins, and the carriage went straight to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion.

This trip was a microservice visit, Yuan Bin had already received the news, but he did not let Jin Yiwei open the way, but sent a large number of secret sentries to follow around.

There was not much space in the carriage, so Cao Nai and Zhang Yi squeezed together consciously, trying their best to keep a distance from the emperor.

Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "The two Qing families don't have to be so cautious."

Cao Nai couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and said, "Naturally, it should be dealt with according to the law, otherwise, where is the law of Ming Dynasty?"

Cao Nai sighed secretly, and said: "The cause of the incident has not been found out yet, please see the hard work of Mr. Peng, and please forgive those crew members..."

Zhu Qizhen wondered: "When did I say that those crew members should be punished?"

"Did not you say……"

Cao Nai seemed to realize something, and swallowed the second half of the sentence.

Zhang Yi also understood from the sidelines that if it wasn't for punishing the crew, then...something was going to happen!
"Shut up!"

Fan Zhong stopped the carriage and said to the inside of the carriage: "Your Majesty, the front is blocked, so we can't get through!"

Zhu Qizhen lifted the curtain on the car, only to see that the surrounding area was already full of people, more lively than going to the market.

In the crowd, he saw Peng Qing at a glance.

At this time, Peng Qing was surrounded by a group of crew members and was negotiating with the police from Shuntian Mansion.

Zhu Qizhen thought to himself, luckily he caught up, otherwise, such a big melon would have been missed.

He waved to Cao Nai and Zhang Yi, and the three got out of the car, and then quietly approached.

Peng Qing also just came here, and he said loudly: "Everyone, I already know what you reported. I will never give up any brother when I bring you back to your homeland from the sea! This matter, I It's settled!"

Someone from below shouted: "My lord, you must uphold justice for Liu San. His mother and sister were killed, and the dog Bizhi County even sentenced him to the crime of sitting on the bench. What's the reason?"

"Don't worry, I will deal with this matter, but you have to remember that you are the people of Daming, you must abide by the rules and laws, and remember not to mess around. If you believe me, hurry up and leave, go back and wait for the news!"

"My lord, you and everyone have gone through life and death, everyone naturally believes in you, but they can't trust Shuntian Mansion, that muddleheaded governor said that Liu San's case is fine, and then he said that we gathered a crowd to make trouble, and we are all going to be put in jail! "

"Yeah, if we don't go, we'll just wait here!"

Seeing that the crowd refused to leave, Peng Qing had no choice but to say: "You can stay if you want, but don't crowd around here, what will it look like if people look at you?"

"Sir, tell me, what should we do?"

"That's how it is. Leave ten people to go to Shuntian Mansion with me, and the rest to go back first. This matter must be reasonable and the rules must be followed. With so many of you blocking the door of someone's house, can you solve the problem?"

"Okay, let's listen to the adults!"

All the crew organized spontaneously, leaving ten of them to accompany Peng Qing, and the rest dispersed one after another.

However, these people did not go far, but continued to stay and watch with the people.

At this time, many people had already gathered around, Zhu Qizhen and others mixed in among the people, but they were not discovered.

Peng Qing brought people to the gate of Shuntian Mansion, and several guards came out to stop them, and a crew member said: "This is Mr. Peng from our family, a newly promoted cabinet scholar. Don't let your governor come out!"

The name of the cabinet scholar came out, and those servants were really scared, and hurried back to report.

Among the crowd, Cao Nai and Zhang Yi looked at each other awkwardly.

The cabinet masters are not allowed to directly intervene in local affairs, and this guy is blatantly asking people to sign up, isn't he messing around...

Not long after, Wu Zhide, governor of Shuntian Prefecture, hurried out of the door.

"My subordinate Wu Zhide, I have met Mr. Peng!"

Peng Qing returned the salute, and said: "Master Wu, I don't like to go round and round. I think you know what's going on today, right?"

Wu Zhide smiled and said, "Master Peng, do you want to ask about the case of Liu San in Changping County framing Wang Shichang?"

Hearing what he said, the crew behind Peng Qing quit.

"Then Liu San was clearly framed!"

"His mother and sister were murdered, but you say he framed him?"

"How much money did you collect from Wang Shichang?"

Wu Zhide's expression changed, and he said, "Master Peng, this case is from Changping County. The lower officials are only responsible for the approval, and then it will be submitted to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If you want to inquire about the case, you can go to Changping County or directly to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. , Shuntian Mansion is just a transit, I'm afraid it won't be able to help you."

Peng Qing asked: "According to what you mean, the case has been settled?"

Wu Zhide nodded and said: "The evidence is convincing. The thirteen certified confessions have all been charged. I don't know what's wrong. I'm asking Mr. Peng to give me some advice."

For this newly promoted cabinet scholar, Wu Zhide naturally wanted to win over him.

But, now that your ass is not even warmed up in the cabinet chair, you are in a hurry to deal with me, that's not okay!
I, Wu Zhide, also have a background, even if you are a bachelor, I will not love you!

Behind Peng Qing, the crew members were extremely excited. Seeing the attitude of their adults, the guards of Shuntian Mansion also acted very tough, like a bomb that had been set on the fire and might explode at any time.

Cao Nai's face was dark, and he whispered: "Your Majesty, I will go over here."

Zhu Qizhen asked, "What are you going to do?"

Cao Nai said: "I go to persuade them to talk in the Dao, and the common people are watching!"

But Zhu Qizhen waved his hand lightly, and said, "It's okay, let the common people see how our Ming officials actually do things."

At this moment, seeing Peng Qing reaching out his hand, Wu Zhide subconsciously took half a step back.

Peng Qing ignored him, and said to the crew behind him: "I repeat, you are the people of Ming Dynasty, you must abide by the rules and act according to the rules. Whoever makes noise or even initiates troubles will be expelled from the fleet immediately, and will never Hired!"

Only then did everyone quiet down, and Wu Zhide also smiled complacently, completely forgetting the embarrassment that he hid back just now.

Peng Qing's expression could not show that his anger was appeased, he just asked plainly: "Master Wu, let me ask again, is this case settled?"

Wu Zhide nodded and said: "The evidence is convincing, of course it is confirmed!"

Peng Qing took a breath and asked again: "About them..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the crew behind him.

"They sued Changping County, will you accept it?"

Wu Zhide shook his head and said, "Their case is completely unreasonable. Since Changping County's judgment is fine, why should the government accept it?"

"well!"

Peng Qing even said two good words, then raised his hand.

This time, Wu Zhide did not hide.

And then……

Snapped!
Peng Qing shot cleanly, and slapped Wu Zhide on the face.

Although he was thin and thin, this slap was very powerful. Wu Zhide was dizzy and sat down on the ground.

However, he hadn't figured out what happened, and then, his eyes went dark, and there was a piercing pain on his face.

Peng Qing rode directly on top of him, hammering wildly, while Wu Zhide lay on the ground crying for his father and mother.

The guard on the side finally realized that the master was beaten!

However, just as they were about to step forward, they saw the murderous look in the eyes of those crew members, which made people shudder...

When the common people saw the officials fighting, they immediately became excited. Some of them were not afraid of big troubles, so they called it better at the beginning.

Both Cao Nai and Zhang Yi were stunned, what's going on?
Zhu Qizhen was also stunned, this Peng Qing seemed to be a gentleman, honest and honest, but he didn't expect to have such a violent temper...

At this moment, there was another movement behind him.

Zhu Qizhen turned around and saw another familiar figure.

Belin was carrying a wooden stick, followed by more than a dozen people, some were holding wrenches, some were holding hammers, and some were holding all kinds of weird things. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be parts of lathes.

Looking at the clothes of these people, they are all students and craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences.

Zhu Qizhen was wondering, when Beilin raised the wooden stick and shouted: "Come on, beat the mother!"
