Chapter 50: Let him come over here!
Chapter 50: Let him come over here!
As soon as I heard it was the Qin family.
The leader of the imperial guards immediately put on a smile and said, "So he is one of us. General Qin Yanying is our coach. I am the centurion under the coach. Nice to meet the young master of the Qin family!"
The smile seems to be conserved, only transferring from one person's face to another.
The smile on Qin Mingri's face disappeared, and a trace of contempt and anger appeared on his face: "How dare you come here to recognize your relatives? Let me ask you, why didn't you stop General Qin that day?"
The centurion's face froze, and he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed: "I..."
Qin Mingri snorted and lowered the door curtain: "Let's go!"
Say it.
He led everyone directly into the city gate.
Only a small team of imperial guards who felt guilty and ashamed were left.
On the carriage.
The beautiful woman was a little dissatisfied: "Your aunt is really a troublemaker. I told her to keep a low profile in Kyoto, but she still caused such a big trouble! How are you going to deal with it tomorrow? Do you want to write a letter to your father?"
"No need, auntie!"
Qin Mingri said calmly: "Since my father entrusted the affairs of the capital to me, he believed in my ability to handle things. My father has a long-term plan. Before the imperial examination, everything should be stable. We can't disrupt my father's plan just because of my aunt.
I guess the Honglu Temple didn’t want to make a big fuss, otherwise they wouldn’t have sent passersby away when they arrested my aunt.”
The beautiful woman was a little hesitant: "But after all, the truth cannot be hidden. What if the truth is leaked and the Qin family's reputation is damaged?"
Qin Mingri smiled confidently: "Don't worry! No one in the capital dares to openly oppose the evil official!"
"I mean, what if Qin Muye..."
"Him? It's possible that he's that stupid, but after all these years, he may not be as brave as he used to be."
The words have not yet fallen.
He suddenly heard a commotion outside.
Faintly, one could still hear the sound of drums protesting injustice.
At this time, should we beat the drum to protest our injustice?
He opened the curtains: "Go and ask what's going on!"
Soon.
The soldier who was questioning him hurried over, half worried and half excited, and said, "Sir! Someone has spoken up for General Yanying!"
Qin Mingri: “???”
No? Didn't you say you covered your mouth?
……
Jingzhao Mansion.
The woman protected her pregnant belly with one hand and held the drumstick with the other, beating the drum with all her might.
While beating, he shouted loudly.
"I, Chu Qingtiao, was harmed by a traitor and my pregnancy was stopped. Please summon Qin Yanying and the evil official Hu Huan to redress my grievances!"
"I, a commoner girl, Chu Qingtiao, was harmed by a traitor..."
She shouted again and again, and the crowd around talked about it.
"Pregnant woman... Is this the person who was almost killed by the evil official that day?"
"You heard that she wanted to summon Qin Yanying and the demon official. Who else could it be except them?"
"This person is really shameless. She is already pregnant, but she still works as a lucky charm for others. How can she have the nerve to come here and complain?"
"Bah! Not even as good as a whore!"
"Who says it's not?"
"But at this time, it is not easy to speak up for justice."
"Yes! Those evil officials don't treat us as human beings at all!"
"I don't know if it's true or not. I heard from my second uncle that his neighbor's child was almost eaten. The child was so scared that he has a high fever and it hasn't subsided yet. This young lady dares to speak up. I admire her!"
"Bah! Isn't it just a miscarriage? She wants compensation? Even if she is really speaking for justice, it doesn't stop her from being shameless!"
Everyone was talking at once, but the focus of their discussion was either "was the evil official excessive?" or "was it shameful to use the lucky beads?"
Qin Mingri's temples throbbed when he heard this. He really didn't understand. When the Honglu Temple arrested Qin Yanying, they clearly sent away passers-by, and it is impossible that they didn't cover his mouth afterwards. But the result was still known to everyone.
What does this mean?
This means that someone must be secretly instigating this.
In such a big city like the capital, who would be willing to stand up for Qin Yanying?
Apart from Qin Muye, the brainless prince, he really couldn't think of anyone else.
Aunt and niece, both troublemakers!
Such actions can indeed save one's dignity and may also exempt one from a considerable amount of guilt.
But the damage to the overall situation is enormous!
Qin Mingri glanced at the green strip beating the drum, and felt that Qin Muye was extremely stupid. Did he really think that he could establish the case by stirring up some public opinion and finding a bitch to beat the drum?
Just knock!
The prefect of Jingzhao loses as soon as he looks at you!
"Boom!"
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Qing Tiao hammered again and again, using all his strength in each blow.
The drums are loud.
But no matter how loud the drums are, they can’t suppress the gossip behind you.
She was pale, trembling all over, and had an urge to burst into tears.
She knew that after this night, everyone in the capital would know that she was a shameless woman.
She didn't know how her family would survive in the future.
But she knew that if she didn't save General Qin, then no one else could save him!
As I was knocking, I suddenly heard a noise in my ears.
Turning around, he saw two teams of ferocious-looking yamen runners rushing over.
"Who is disturbing the government office?"
"Get out of here!"
"Otherwise I'll be rude to you!"
As he said that, he was ready to grab Qing Tiao's arm.
But at this moment, an old man in a Confucian robe stood in front of Qingtiao and shouted at the yamen runners, "You kids are so rude. A girl is here to complain, why are you chasing her away? Do the official uniforms you wear allow you to oppress the people?"
Although the old man in the Confucian robe had wrinkled skin and white hair and a slightly hunched body, his voice was clear and loud, and could be heard clearly by everyone.
In an instant, he got a response from the onlookers.
"Yeah! You're wearing official uniform just to bully us?"
"Ascend to the Hall! Ascend to the Hall!"
"We must go to court!"
"You cunning ones..."
The bailiff was furious, but his momentum weakened under the old man's angry glare.
Nowadays, who can live to such an old age without a strong family background?
Moreover, the old man in front of him had an extraordinary bearing, and his every frown and look carried an indescribable majesty. There were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Kyoto, and who knows what kind of background he had!
He could only smile and say, "Old sir, it's so late now, how can we hold court in the middle of the night? Besides, this case involves a demon official, so it's not within the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture, right?"
The case was kept secret among the public, but it was already known to everyone in the government offices.
The Honglu Temple has made it clear that this case must be handled by them.
Even the Imperial Guards and the Ministry of Justice did not dare to intervene, and the prefect did not even have time to hide.
How many lives do they have? How dare they take work for the prefect?
The old man seemed very reasonable. He turned his head and looked at Qing Tiao: "My lady, the case involving the evil official is indeed not under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture. You see..."
Qing Tiao took a deep breath and said, "Old sir! I was frightened at the time and I can't remember many things clearly. I don't quite remember whether the fetal arrest was caused by General Qin or the demon official. If the demon official can't come, please summon General Qin to help me recover my memory. If it's not General Qin, I'll think of other ways."
Yamen runner: “???”
Do you want to listen to what you said? Is this reasonable?
He was about to say something.
The old man in the Confucian robe nodded and said, "This girl is right. Young yamen runner, quickly call your prefect over!"
The bailiff understood that the old man was in cahoots with the lucky bead. He suppressed his anger and said, "Old sir, it's already 12 o'clock now, and the prefect also needs to rest. Can you persuade this woman to come back tomorrow?"
He was somewhat unsure of the old man's background and was really afraid of hitting a wall, so he could only appease him temporarily and investigate thoroughly at night.
If you really can't afford to offend him, let the prefect come up with a solution.
unexpectedly.
The old man in the Confucian robe didn't give him any face at all, and his wrinkled face was full of anger: "Asshole! Just because it's late, you can stop investigating the case? Is this the attitude of a local official? Go ask Zou Yulong, is this what his teacher taught him?"
The tone was condescending, like training a dog.
The bailiff could not help himself and said, "How can you give us instructions on what we do in Jingzhao Prefecture? Who are you? How dare you address the prefect by his name? How dare you use his teacher to bully others?"
The old man in Confucian robes snorted coldly, and said with his hands behind his back: "I am Ye Songting! I am the teacher of your prefect! You, now, tell Zou Yulong to roll over here immediately!"
Yamen: "!!!"
Ye Songting! ?
The fourteenth head master of Daqian Academy!
Although he had been unemployed for more than twenty years, his students were everywhere in the court.
Why is this great god here?!
The onlookers were also shocked. They didn't expect that the dying old man was actually the famous Ye Songting.
Qin Mingri was also confused.
He was anxious and angry!
Where does Qin Muye, a brainless guy, get the manpower to manipulate public opinion?
Where did they get the energy to invite Ye Songting over?
