The wind blew slightly, and as far as the eye could see were waves of wheat.
The endless fields are full of golden color, but the sweet potato fields on the mountainside are a lush green that is rippling in the wind.
The plump red potato leaves are swaying gently in the wind, and the air seems to be carrying a fresh fragrance.
"A few days ago, our health was not very good, so we didn't bother to come and see it." The old man looked over and laughed, "Today we have a good look at how much it can produce per acre!" He said, waving his hands, "Follow me.
!”
He took the lead, and the founding princes followed silently behind him.
Under the sunshine, their figures were stretched. Although they were no longer as majestic and forward-moving as they were in their prime, they still had a sense of heroism.
Back then, these people were like this, no matter the mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, they still had no hesitation.
On the path leading to the slope field, Prince Jin also pretended to be a young adult, holding a small hoe in his hand and following behind the old man on his short legs.
Zhu Yunxi was a few steps behind. Just as he was about to call the people from the Ministry of Ceremonies to come over and give instructions, he saw Li Jinglong approaching with a worried look on his face.
"What's the matter?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
"It stands to reason that today's big things will have to be postponed. Nothing can dampen the interest of the Emperor and the Supreme Emperor!" Li Jinglong said in a low voice, "But I know that the two emperors love their people like their own children, so there is something
Don’t dare to hide things.”
"Your Majesty, when the soldiers of Caichen's family were patrolling along the way, they found a hidden woman in the back mountain. The woman was from Jurong County, Yingtian Prefecture. She carried a writ of paper with her and shouted that she was here to file a complaint.
of."
"I always remember your teachings, Your Majesty. There is nothing trivial for the people, so I don't dare to be careless, let alone conceal it." After saying that, he continued to whisper, "I haven't made any publicity about this matter now, and no one knows about it. Now that woman has been
The minister’s people are temporarily watching over you!”
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi frowned deeply.
He had the same question as Li Jinglong. If he wanted to file a complaint, he would go directly to Yingtian Mansion to beat drums and complain, or even more extreme, go to the palace to complain. How could a person complaining choose this time?
People in Yingtianfu have healed their scars and forgotten the pain?
It shouldn’t be. In the last knocking case in Hangzhou, the old man was so angry that he almost harassed the officials of Yingtian Mansion. They and his grandson repeatedly ordered not to intercept the people who complained. Who dared to block it secretly?
The complainant came from Jurong County, which is a county under the jurisdiction of Yingtian Prefecture, and is also under the emperor's feet. The politics of the emperor's feet are clearer than other places, and there are very few cases of harming the people.
But if there are really no unjust grievances, who will file a complaint?
Complaining to the emperor is not as simple as opening the lower lip and touching it, especially when people complain to officials. If it were not like the case in Hangzhou, where the emperor was alarmed by directly knocking on the que. According to normal procedures, if the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple were to preside over the trial first, the complainant would have to
Roll the nail board first.
People, living people rolled across the nail board.
The reason is very simple. If you are really wronged, you will naturally bite the bullet and get over it. If it is a false accusation, you will not have the courage.
What puzzled Zhu Yunxi even more was the timing of the complaint and the choice of location.
He looked at Li Jinglong. This man must have arranged it in advance. Because Cao Guogong was always afraid of avoiding such things. Hearing about such things, he had already hid for hundreds of miles and pretended not to know anything.
"Have you ever asked about any cases?" Zhu Yunxi asked with a frown.
"The incident happened suddenly. Before I had time to personally intervene, my personal soldier Li Laowai asked me first!" Li Jinglong said in a low voice, "It is said that it is a civil case. The girl who complained about the woman was arrested by a young man named Li.
He committed adultery and then went to the local county government to file a complaint. Instead of filing a case and arresting the person, the county government said it was adultery."
"A woman's reputation is so important that rape turns into adultery, and the woman immediately goes crazy. Her sister was so angry that she risked her own life and came to the capital!"
"Long live my Lord!" At this time, Wang Shai came quickly from the front, "The old master is calling you!"
"Got it!" Zhu Yunxi responded, turning back to Li Jinglong and saying, "Ask again, ask carefully, and then tell me everything!"
"I obey the decree!"

"Where are the people?"
"In the front room!"
Li Jinglong and his men walked into Zhuangzi's backyard with a gloomy face.
This room was a stable where large animals were usually housed. At the moment, it was surrounded by soldiers of the Li family, guarding a small house as if facing a formidable enemy.
Li Jinglong stepped into the room, and a figure huddled in the corner inside suddenly curled up in panic, with a pair of bright eyes staring at him in fear and silently.
"Hey, these girls are really pretty!" Li Jinglong thought to himself.
What caught his eye was a melon-seed face with a unique charm. It was surprising at first, but the more you look at it, the more attractive it becomes. It was like a flower, fully in full bloom. The face was full of tears, not pretty but with a hint of sadness.
She is quite stubborn, and the expression of a folk woman actually has a bit of a man's sassiness.
"This is us adults!" Li Laowai said.
Hearing this, the woman's eyes quickly glanced at Li Jinglong. Then she lowered her head and bit her lip, "How old is he?"
Li Laowai thought about it and said, "It's very big!" He said, "It's bigger than your county magistrate anyway!"
The woman raised her head sharply, "How old are you?"
"The master of our family is hereditary Cao Guogong, Xuanli military minister Shangzhu Guo Jianwei general, together with the governor Ronglu, the minister of the vassal court, and the prince Shaobao in charge of the imperial guard..." Li Laowai
As he said that, he suddenly felt that Li Jinglong's eyes were unkind and he hurriedly said, "Master, did I miss your official position?"
"Did you fucking mention my birth date?" Li Jinglong cursed and turned to look at the woman, "What grievances do you have, but it doesn't matter if you say it!"
"The daughter of the common people wants to complain to the emperor!" The woman suddenly kowtowed and cried.
Li Jinglong leaned against the wall and said impatiently, "You are such a naive woman. You can see Long Live the Lord whenever you want? When I come to ask you questions, you can answer whatever I ask you..."
"
"A civilian girl wants to file a complaint!"
"Bold!" Li Jinglong scolded, "Are you really going to toast me instead of having to drink wine as a penalty? Tell me about your matter, and I will report it to the emperor." He said with a sneer, "If you don't want to tell me, then you can
Don't say that. I will have people watch you and send you back to your place of origin, under the strict supervision of the local magistrate."
"Complain? You won't even be able to leave the county seat by then. If you add another crime at will, you will be exiled for three thousand miles, and you will die on the road for no apparent reason!"
Hearing this, the woman was immediately stunned.
Seeing that he had frightened the other party, Li Jinglong said softly, "Since you have come to complain, I will make the decision for you. If you have any wrongdoing, I will tell you exactly what you want!" After saying that, he smiled and said, "I am a good person.
Don’t be afraid!!”
The woman hesitated for a moment, kowtowed, and cried, "The little girls are named Wang Sanqiao and Meizi Siqiao. They are both from Jurong. The female sisters opened a tailor shop on the street. They usually rely on weaving and making clothes for people."
Make clothes for a living!”
"Siqiao, a daughter of the common people, is a poor woman. Her husband died of illness before they got married, so she is now a widow at home."
"If it weren't for the pressure of life, which woman would be willing to show her face. My poor girl went to deliver goods on the street and was attracted by the young master of the Li family in the city."
"He tricked my sister into asking her to come to his house to dress his daughter-in-law. Then... then... then he failed to have sex and raped her..."
"My sister took pity on me. She went to the Yamen to file a complaint. After interrogation, the county magistrate said it was adultery. That night, the Li family sent someone to bring money and wanted to keep it secret. My sister refused to obey. The next day, there was a storm in the city saying that my sister had seduced the young master of the Li family and wanted to be a lion.
Open your mouth."
"My sister was so worried and angry that she became delirious and crazy. The girl went to the government office several times and was kicked out. The shop that she relied on for her livelihood was also smashed up in the middle of the night time and time again. Years of hard work were destroyed in one day.
.”
"Later, the girl found out that Master Li was a relative of an adult in the county. The officials protected each other, but no one wanted to let the girl make the decision. The girl had no choice but to come to the capital to complain!"
"Wait a minute!" Li Jinglong suddenly interrupted her, "How can you, a woman who weaves, be so eloquent?" As he spoke, he suddenly shouted, "Tell me, who gave you the advice? Who asked you to hide in the back mountain?
of?"
