Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 540

Suddenly, a shout came from the nearby shop: "Get out, get out!"

Wang Mang, Di Renjie and the others were startled, and when they looked up, they saw a few beggars in ragged clothes being pushed and shoved out by the waiters in the nearby restaurant.

There were old and young among them, and there was a five or six-year-old girl with them, and a middle-aged beggar with an apologetic smile on his face kept saying to the guy: "Please do me a favor, just give me your stutter, let's come to the capital." Sued and used up all the money. Anyway, you give the child a mouthful, I..."

The store clerk said angrily: "Okay, okay, don't talk anymore. If you guys come here for the first time today, if I don't give it, it's my fault.

But you are here all day, who can bear it!We are a small business, not a government porridge shed!Go, go, hurry up, go to another house! "

With that said, the shop assistant turned and walked back to the shop.

A few beggars spread their hands helplessly and stood in the street.

The girl cried weakly: "Dad, Dad, I'm hungry, I'm hungry..."

The middle-aged man knelt down, stroked the girl's head, and said helplessly, "Xiao Lan, if you hold on, Dad will go elsewhere, ah!"

Wang Mang and Di Renjie in front of the food stall looked at each other. Seeing this scene, the two couldn't help feeling sour. Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai also sighed softly.

At this moment, three gongs sounded in the distance, and a team of guards of honor from the government came along the street. The leader of the yamen guard held up a sample card and wrote the four characters of "Dali Temple Cheng".

The deacons on both sides blared the gong to clear the way, and the guards came slowly, surrounded by a large blue woolen sedan chair.

Pedestrians on the street dodged one after another, only the few beggars looked at each other without moving.

Passers-by by the road reminded in a low voice: "You don't get out of the way, the official is coming!"

The middle-aged beggar gritted his teeth, pushed the girl to the companion behind him, and ran towards the car, and the passers-by around him exclaimed.

Di Renjie and Wang Mang looked at each other, and they frowned.

I saw the middle-aged man rushing to the front of the queue, knelt on the ground with a 'plop', took out a complaint from his arms, held it high above his head, and shouted loudly: "You are wronged, my lord! The grassroots are wronged!"

The official team stopped in the street, and the head deacon shouted sharply: "Who dares to block the way to invite you to drive?!"

The middle-aged man shouted: "The grassroots Yangzhou Caohu, appeal for grievances!"

The deacon stepped forward quickly, took the complaint and said, "Wait here!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked to the big blue sedan chair, and said softly: "My lord, a Cao household in Yangzhou has invited you to complain."

A deep voice came from inside the sedan chair: "Submit the petition."

The deacon respectfully put the pleading paper in his hand into the sedan chair.

After a while, the car curtain opened with a 'snap', and the pleading paper was thrown out.

The Prime Minister of Dali Temple in the sedan chair said in a deep voice, "I want him to go to Yangzhou Governor's Mansion to vote!"

The deacon hurriedly picked up the complaint and said, "Yes."

As he said that, he walked quickly to the middle-aged beggar, and handed the petition back to him: "Your Excellency tells you to take the petition back to Yangzhou, and go to the Governor's Mansion to file a complaint!"

The middle-aged beggar was shocked: "The grassroots dare not go back to Yangzhou to file a complaint!"

The deacon stared, and said sharply: "It's unreasonable! You dare not go back to Yangzhou to sue, but you dare to appeal in the capital. Do you know that those who sue more can be whipped forty? You still don't quit!"

The middle-aged beggar knelt and climbed two steps: "Master, I beg you, just accept our honor, the farmers in Yangzhou can't survive!"

The deacon waved his hand and shouted: "Si Cheng lord expressly ordered that this case is not accepted! Hurry up and back down, otherwise you will be punished for blocking the driver and ramming you! Back down!"

The rear guard yelled like a thunderstorm: "Back off!"

The middle-aged beggar gritted his teeth, rushed forward, hugged the deacon's legs, and wailed, "My lord, please do me a favor! We will die if we return to Yangzhou, please, please, accept it!" Our status!"

The deacon was furious and shouted: "Come on, throw me aside!"

The guards swarmed up, picked up the middle-aged beggar and threw it on the side of the road. Three gongs sounded, and the guard of honor set off.

A few beggars helped the middle-aged man up, cried and rushed up again, but were pushed and shoved by the escorting guards and fell to the ground, driving further and further away.

Beside the food stall, Di Renjie, Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang, and Zeng Tai looked at each other, and said in a low voice, "It seems that these people must have their grievances."

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang nodded.

Zeng Tai asked: "But why don't they appeal to the higher levels, but come to Shendu Yue to sue?
The deacon of Dali Temple said it right just now, "Yonghui Law" clearly stipulates that those who leapfrog the level of the appeal, can be whipped forty! "

Di Renjie nodded, and said: "'The more sued, the cane will be forty'. But Zeng Tai, you forgot that there is another sentence after this sentence: 'If the truth is true, don't sit'. It means that if what they sue is true, then You can not be held accountable for the prosecution."

Zeng Tai nodded in agreement.

Wang Mang frowned: "They said they dare not go to Yangzhou to sue, I'm afraid there is something tricky in it!"

As he spoke, he looked towards the beggars, and saw a few beggars get up sadly, the middle-aged man picked up the girl, and walked to the left of the street under the strange eyes of passers-by.

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai.

Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Just as Di Renjie was about to speak, at this moment, a waiter from the food stall came over with tied spring rolls: "Guys, your spring rolls are ready."

Di Renjie took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted at the middle-aged beggar: "Hey, that old man!"

The middle-aged beggar stopped, turned around, looked around, and said, "Old man, are you calling me?"

Di Renjie nodded, raised the spring rolls in his hand and said, "Come here, there's something to eat!"

Upon hearing this, the girl immediately broke free from her father's arms and ran over.

Di Renjie handed over the spring rolls, and the girl took them without saying a word, and ate one in two bites.

Di Renjie's eyes were sour, and he said softly: "Good boy, eat slowly, there will be more after eating."

The girl's big eyes flickered, she nodded and ate voraciously.

Wang Mang on the side hurriedly said to the buddy: "Hurry up and fry as many as you can."

As he said that, he took out a silver coin from his pocket and handed it to the clerk, who immediately smiled and moved swiftly.

The middle-aged man came over with a few beggars, and said in a friendly voice, "Thank you old man. We, we..."

Di Renjie pointed to the table next to the food stall and said, "Sit down, sit down and eat slowly."

The middle-aged man nodded, and several people sat around the table.

Wang Mang handed the water to the little girl: "Eat slowly, don't choke!"

On the other side, Zeng Tai and Li Yuanfang brought the fried spring rolls to the table, and Di Renjie smiled kindly: "Eat quickly."

The middle-aged man nodded and said gratefully: "Old man, you, you are really good people, I..."

His throat choked, and tears rolled down his face.

Di Renjie nodded and said: "Okay, don't talk for now, eat quickly, it will be cold in a while."

The middle-aged man nodded, and said to the people beside him: "We have met a kind person today, let's eat."

Several people rubbed their hands on the hem of their clothes, picked up the spring rolls, and ate the next plate in the blink of an eye. Li Yuanfang brought another plate and ate it all in the blink of an eye.

Wang Mang repeatedly said: "Continue to bomb, continue to bomb!"

The staff hurriedly put the freshly wrapped spring rolls into the pot.
