The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 329

Chang'an City.

The story of the Liu Family Restaurant is still being told, and people come to listen to it every day. Slowly, all the people in Chang'an City have become listeners, some in the restaurant, and some from others.

The stories are always so touching, so touching that people suddenly want to fall in love.

But the ancients were reserved, most of them would not think of the word love, when they couldn't restrain themselves because they were moved, they would go home and make their wives comfortable.

Everyone knew the story, but Zhao Jingniang didn't have any clues. Many people came to Liu's restaurant to listen to the story every day, but there was no woman like Zhao Jingniang.

Liu Wei felt that he had made a mistake.

The story spread throughout Chang'an, so even if Zhao Jingniang wanted to hear the story, why did she come to Liu's Restaurant?
After realizing that he had made a mistake, Liu Wei suddenly became uneasy, and then he hurriedly left the palace to find Guan Qingyi. He wanted Guan Qingyi to make soup dumplings. In his opinion, anyone would want to eat something like soup dumplings , if Zhao Jingniang wanted to eat soup dumplings, would she buy them?

If she didn't have a maid, she would have come to buy it herself, right?
Liu Wei didn't think Zhao Jingniang would have a maid.

Guan Qingyi quickly agreed to Liu Wei's request. Although filling soup dumplings brought her disaster, she still did it without hesitation after Liu Wei's words.

And just one day after the soup dumplings were sold in Chang'an City, a very sensational event happened in Chang'an City.

That afternoon, Liu Wei was playing chess with Zhao Kuangyin in the palace, but at this moment, bursts of crying and howling suddenly came from outside the palace, Zhao Kuangyin frowned slightly, and asked, "Who is making noise outside?"

A guard hurriedly came to report: "Return to the Holy One, an old man was crying at the door, saying that he wanted to sue the imperial court."

"A court order?"

Zhao Kuangyin frowned slightly, and said, "Could it be that there have been unjust, false and wrongly decided cases in Chang'an City?"

The guard remained silent. He didn't dare to say such things casually. If he said something wrong, he would lose his head.

Liu Wei smiled at the side: "Is it an unjust, false or wrongly decided case? Send someone to let the old man come in and report the situation."

Having said that, an eunuch next to him immediately said: "Lord Liu, how can you let someone enter the palace casually, we must ensure the safety of the Holy Majesty."

Liu Wei was taken aback for a moment, he had been living in the palace recently, and almost forgot what this place was. After understanding this, Liu Wei quickly apologized, and then expressed that he was willing to go and see what was going on first.

Zhao Kuangyin was not afraid of any harm an old man could do to him, but he did not object to Liu Wei's request.

When I got out of the palace, I saw an old man kneeling on the ground and crying loudly. The two guards didn't chase him away. They didn't want to chase him away. Originally, the old man was crying loudly in front of the palace. It was their responsibility to drive the old man away. But the old man wants to sue the imperial court, so they can't move.

The Song Dynasty has regulations that allow people to sue imperial petitions. This is an important power granted to the people by the Song Dynasty court, and the people do not need any punishment for suing imperial petitions. Unlike the Ming Dynasty, it is clear that people will be punished first when suing imperial petitions. .

Seeing Liu Wei coming out of the palace, the two guards hurriedly greeted him: "Master Liu, this old man..."

Liu Wei waved his hand: "I already know, take him to the post house, where I will interrogate him."

"Yes!"
-
In the post house, King Jin and King Wei were very curious about Liu Wei bringing an old man into the post house, but after hearing that Liu Wei was going to try the case, both of them became interested.

The old man was still crying, Liu Wei persuaded him, and then asked why the old man wanted to sue.

The old man already knew the identities of the people in front of him, so he quickly said: "My lord, my name is Zhang Bu, and everyone calls me old man Zhang. I have a daughter named Zhang Cuihua, my father and daughter. I sell duck eggs on the street to make a living, but a few days ago, Lin Yanei passed by our stall, and he saw my daughter Cuihua was pretty, so he took my daughter away forcibly, and he threw my daughter away a day later Come out, when my daughter was thrown out, she was already beaten badly and bruises, and...and she was already insane after being ravaged by the Lin Ya Nei, the villain has nowhere to report, only to complain."

After listening to old man Zhang's words, everyone present was surprised and angry, and Liu Wei even asked: "Could it be that the Chang'an government government doesn't care?"

"Take care? My lord is really joking, then Lin Ya Nei is the only son of the magistrate Lin Zegang, will he take care of it?"

Shocked, everyone present was shocked, they never imagined that there would be such an official in Song Dynasty, who would even connive at his son bullying men and women, such an official, not killing them would not be enough to anger the people.

Angry, Liu Wei was very angry, but he maintained a calmness that others did not have. He looked at old man Zhang and nodded: "You take the post with you temporarily, and the official will order someone to send your daughter to the doctor. This officer has made a clear investigation and will never spare Lin Zegang and his son Lin Hui."

The old man Zhang showed hesitation. Seeing him like this, Liu Wei knew that he didn't believe him, so he said: "My official surname is Liu Mingwei. These two are the king of Jin and King Wei of the current dynasty. The three of us can still deal with it." I can't lie to you? It's just that everything must be done step by step, and I can't just arrest people indiscriminately just because of your words and a statement."

Old man Zhang was an ordinary citizen, but when he learned that the three people in front of him were the three most famous people in the Song Dynasty, he immediately believed it.

After the old man Zhang was taken down, the King of Jin snorted coldly: "This Lin Zegang is really disgusting. He even connived at his son to do such a thing. I think this old man is just an ordinary person, and he will never tell lies. talk."

Although King Wei has always been at odds with King Jin, he agrees with King Jin very much at this time.

Liu Wei smiled: "The two lords are right, but we must pay attention to evidence and law in everything, we cannot lose our minds because of personal anger, and even if the Lin Yamen is guilty, we also need layer by layer Review, unless we have the Qingtian Guillotine from Kaifeng Mansion, we can cut first and then play, and kill people directly."

Liu Wei was talking about the actual situation of the Song Dynasty. The laws of the Song Dynasty are very strict. Even if the prisoner is convicted, he has the right to appeal, and after being convicted, he will have to wait until the autumn to be executed, just like Kaifeng Mansion. The matter of grievances cannot be seen in other places.

King Jin and King Wei, as the princes of the Great Song Dynasty, naturally understood these situations.

So at this time, King Jin asked: "Liu Concubine, what are you going to do next?"

"The lower officials are going to look for evidence. It shouldn't be difficult to find these. Even if Lin Zegang is all-powerful in Chang'an City, since Lin Ya Nei snatches people away on the street, he often does these things of bullying men and women. , then there should be many certifications, and it should not be difficult to find certifications.”

King Jin nodded, he thought Liu Wei was right.

"However, I'm going to let my servants do these things. I'm going to meet that Zhang Cuihua. Maybe she is the most important witness."
-
Liu Wei, Daniu, and Zhuge Pi went to Old Man Zhang's house. It was a small dilapidated courtyard. There were many ducks running around in the courtyard, and the sound of croaking was endless.

But when they went, the first thing they heard was not the sound of a duck, but the frantic screaming of a woman and the insults of two men.

Those two men wanted to pull Zhang Cuihua away, but Zhang Cuihua didn't leave, she just kept saying that her father wouldn't let her run around. It was obvious that she was mentally disturbed, and these words made the two The man was very angry and couldn't help punching and kicking her.

Daniu was very angry when he saw this situation. After a roar, he rushed forward immediately. Daniel was so powerful. After rushing over, he grabbed a person with one hand, and threw them to the ground with two slaps.

The two men were in pain from being dumped, and there was a look of fear on their faces.

"You... who are you?"

"Who are you?" Daniel said, he stepped on a man's chest with great force, and the man just opened his mouth, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Why did you take this girl away?"

"I want... I want you to take care of it."

Daniel hummed, and stepped on his feet again, and the person who was stepped on suddenly felt out of breath.

"I...we were ordered by our young master to arrest him. Our young master learned that his father wanted to fuck with our young master, so we wanted to use her to threaten Old Man Zhang."

"Damn it." Daniu yelled angrily, and kicked the person under his feet unconscious. The other person was so frightened that he couldn't stand up. At this time, he suddenly peed his pants with snot and tears on his face. It all came out.

"Forgive... spare my life..."

"Forgive you...sister!"

Daniu shouted angrily, and kicked that person so that he would never even think about getting out of bed in this life. Daniel is not a cruel person, but seeing Zhang Cuihua's miserable appearance, his anger could not be suppressed. coming.

"My lord, that dog in the Lin Yamen, go down and fetch his dog's head." Daniel was very angry, but was stopped by Zhuge Pi.

"Daniu, the adults are in charge of this matter, why do you need to be chivalrous? Then the Lin Yamen made a mistake, and we use legal means to punish him. What's the use of your loyalty?"

"I'm just angry..."

"It doesn't matter if you are angry, you are following the lord now, if you kill people casually, what kind of situation will you put the lord in?"

Daniel was silent, he felt that what Zhugepi said was right, it didn't matter if Daniel went to kill people, but wouldn't he hurt Liu Wei if he killed someone?

"My lord, what should we do now?"

Liu Wei didn't speak until now, but at this moment, she pointed at Zhang Cuihua: "Take her with you."

"Go...where?" Daniel and Zhugepi were suddenly a little dazed.

"Go to the hospital and see a doctor for her."
