The old woman was weeping and complaining, and her words were stained with blood.
The wind was filled with the desperate and sad cries of the grandfather and grandson.
The old man on the imperial chariot had eyes like daggers, the joints on his big hands were all visible, and his face was full of gloom.
"Grandpa Huang, your grandson may know something about this!" Zhu Yunxi said in a low voice.
So, under the slightly surprised look of the old man, Zhu Yunxi recounted what he saw outside Qixia Temple today.
"Those official servants from Hangzhou are all in the Zhenfu Division now, and they have probably been found out by now. My grandson will summon the commander of the Jin Yiwei to meet with his Majesty He Guangyi!"
"Hmph!" the old man sneered twice, "How brave! When the officials from Hangzhou went to the capital to arrest people, they arrested people who came to Beijing to complain. When the people were wronged, they not only refused to make decisions for the people, but they were also not allowed to complain.
The people complained!"
As he spoke, the old man's joints in his hands crackled, and he growled, "It is foolish not to be able to make decisions for the people, and to harm the people is to lose one's conscience. They are stupid and bad, and they have taken over. We have only been vegetarian for a few days, and
Do you think we are old?"
Zhu Yunxi thought about it and whispered in the old man's ear, "Grandpa Huang, my grandson thinks it may not be that simple!"
The old man's eyes flashed, "Go on!"
"The death of a human life is a major and important case, and the case is full of errors and omissions. Why did the Hangzhou government close the case hastily? Is it suspected of deliberately completing the case?"

"The Zhao family has been redressed. Why doesn't even the local Chief Secretary's office accept the complaint? Moreover, the Zhao family is threatened by strongmen and their lives are in danger?"
"Furthermore, why did Hangzhou officials pursue them all the way from Hangzhou and arrest the Zhao family along the way?"
"Moreover, why can the official agents find them? The official agents in Hangzhou have no one to back them up, so how can they dare to arrest people in the capital?"
The household registration management in the Ming Dynasty was stricter than in modern times. Whether you were an official, a citizen, or a businessman, you had to carry a household registration certificate before you could enter the city and stay in a hotel.
The Zhao family ran and were chased all the way, and their whereabouts were clearly discovered by Hangzhou officials.
"The Hangzhou government is afraid that the Zhao family will go to Beijing to file a complaint. What are they afraid of? Who is behind this, who has such great ability that he can let the officials chase him all the way without any hindrance? My grandson doesn't believe it. They arrested them in Yangzhou and Zhenjiang
Man, the local government doesn’t know anything about it?”
Zhu Yunxi looked at his grandfather and grandson who were kneeling on the ground, hugging each other and crying, and continued to grit his teeth and said, "I'm afraid this contains a shocking case!"
It is difficult for the people to redress their grievances because officials are greater than the law, and even the officials are the law.
If there was really no way out, if she wasn't carrying a blood feud, how could an old woman from the Zhao family dare to take such a risk and go to Beijing to file a complaint?
Today, it was Zhu Yunxi who allowed them to escape due to a strange combination of circumstances. What would be the fate of the Zhao family if they had not met outside the city and were captured back to Hangzhou?
Just one more crime will make the whole family disappear. It is like a ripple on the sea, insignificant.
The old man's gloomy face was filled with frost. "Pass an order to the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, the Third Division of the Supervisory Office, and the commander of the Jinyi Guards to send Jiang Yu into the palace!" After saying that, he said to Zhu Yunxi, "First settle the woman and the child.
good!"
Zhu Yunxi nodded, walked to the front of the chariot, and said loudly, "Mr. Zhao!"
"The civilian woman is here!" Mrs. Zhao hugged her grandson and bowed her head to listen.
"Your Majesty already knows your grievances!" Zhu Yunxi shouted loudly, "Your Majesty, I will definitely give you justice to the Zhao family and justice to the people of the world!" As he said that, Zhu Yunxi looked around and asked, "Where is Cao Guogong Li Jinglong?"
"I'm here!" Li Jinglong got off his horse and knelt beside the chariot.
"Zhao and the child will be placed in your house. People from the Supervisory Office and the Ministry of Punishment will come to question and sort out the files later!" As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi's tone increased, "Take good care of it and make sure there are no mistakes!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will handle it properly!" Li Jinglong said, cupping his fists.
~~
The news of someone knocking on the door spread throughout the capital like the wind. Before the imperial edict was spread, ministers from various ministries had already gathered outside Fengtian Hall, waiting for the holy instruction.
The atmosphere that had just been relaxed due to the Chinese New Year suddenly became tense. The emperor of Ming Dynasty was different from the emperors of previous dynasties.
In the past dynasties, people who complained to officials would be exiled for three thousand miles regardless of whether they were right or wrong. If they went to Beijing to file a complaint, they would be treated as a rioter and killed by local officials. However, Emperor Hongwu was the first person in history to encourage people to go to Beijing to file a complaint.
.
You can redress your grievances and sue corrupt officials. Not only are local officials not allowed to stop you, but they are also required to receive you politely along the way. The person who files the complaint is not only innocent, but actually meritorious.
Although the emperor doesn't like Ya Sheng's words that the people are more important than the emperor, but the emperor's heart is the most unbearable to see the people being wronged.
The wind was a bit cold, and the emperor and the emperor's grandson were in the palace. They didn't say anything to summon them for a long time. These ministers could only wait outside the palace, standing silently. But it was obviously winter, but some officials' foreheads were covered with cold sweat, and they were out of their minds.
These people who were sweating were all officials of Yingtian Mansion. The incident occurred in their jurisdiction, and they were frightened and frightened.
In the side hall of Fengtian Hall, the old man and Zhu Yunxi were sitting separately, listening to the report from the commander He Guangyi on the ground.
"Back to Your Majesty and Your Highness Taisun, the officials in Hangzhou are not from the Hangzhou government office, but from the Hangzhou Inspection Department!"
"They, a group of ten people, set out from Hangzhou and were ordered by Sun Xiaozhong, the inspector of the Hangzhou Inspection Department, to arrest the Zhao family. The Zhao family members who had been arrested were all sent back to Hangzhou for unified custody!"
"Originally, when they set off, Sun Xiaozhong said that they could... they could use some means to keep the Zhao family in the dark..."
"The official leader who led the team has some conscience and didn't kill him!"
The more Zhu Yunxi listened, the more he frowned, and the matter became more complicated and confusing. How dare a patrol inspector, who is in charge of public security in Hangzhou, dare to arrest people across the border?
"Are there any local officials cooperating along the way?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
"Yes!" He Guangyi said, "According to the official account of Hangzhou, wherever they go they have to visit the local inspection and military command. Then they will be led by local people to check the registration books at city inns, Dajian and other places, and conduct
Arrests!"
"How can a patrol inspector be so capable?" the old man said angrily.
"The official in Hangzhou said that although Sun Xiaozhong was a junior official in Hangzhou, his hands and eyes were very good, and he was also connected in Yangzhou, Zhenjiang and other places!" He Guangyi continued, "Although Sun Xiaozhong is an official, his family owns two silk factories and grain production.
There are several companies in the oil business, and the family is rich!"
"I'm afraid there are more!" Zhu Yunxi sneered, "These are just visible transactions, there are many more that are shady!"
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, "Did they ever say why Sun Xiaozhong asked them to arrest the Zhao family?"
"The case of the Zhao family was handled by Sun Xiaozhong!" He Guangyi said, "As soon as the case came out, Sun Xiaozhong personally led people to handle it. He also tried the Zhao family's children personally, and Sun Xiaozhong found all the witnesses and material evidence.
.At the beginning, some people from the Inspection Department and the prefect’s Yamen said that there were many doubts about the case. But Sun Xiaozhong insisted on going his own way and gave a guarantee in front of the Hangzhou prefect that the case would be solved in three days.”
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi said, "Grandpa Huang, this Sun Xiaozhong should be the key to this case, but I don't know who is behind him?"
"What a thief!" the old man gritted his teeth, "What a thief!"
Later, the old man asked again, "Did those people in Hangzhou tell me why the prefect's Yamen didn't make the decision for the Zhao family and the Chief Secretary didn't accept the petition?"
"Back to your majesty, those officials told me that Sun Xiaozhong has a close relationship with the Hangzhou magistrate and his colleagues. There are also people in the Chief Secretary's office. He is the son and daughter of the Zhejiang Chief Secretary's staff!" He Guangyi paused slightly as he said that.
"Sun Xuanzhong's eldest daughter is the concubine of the master's son!"
"What kind of mother-in-law are these?" the old man said angrily, "Shameless thing!"
"The Zhao family was indeed wronged? I just don't know why Sun Xiaozhong wronged the Zhao family? In other words, he used the Zhao family's youngest son as a scapegoat for others! He must know who the real murderer is!" Zhu Yunxi also gritted his teeth and cursed.
, "Inspection inspections are in charge of public security affairs, and small officials have great power. If the Zhao family had not come to Beijing, we would never have known about this!"
"How dare they take people in the capital? But in Yingtian Mansion, who will give them convenience?" the old man asked again.
He Guangyi did not hesitate, "After entering Beijing, the official from Hangzhou took the name card and visited Li Baisheng, the commander of the Nancheng Inspection Department, and Zhang Hongda, the inspector of Shangyuan County. The Li family gave three hundred taels of silver, and the Zhang family gave one
One hundred and fifty taels. Li and Zhang asked their trusted subordinates to lead them around the city, and they also issued a guide for them to leave the city freely."
"Humph!" The old man laughed suddenly, "A patrol inspector in Hangzhou can actually be so knowledgeable. He really complied with the old saying, officers protect each other!" He said with a cold expression on his face, "Let them get out!"
