The emperor's concubine, the lord of the first palace, is pregnant with a dragon; sister, sister, why can you always take advantage of everything easily, but I can only live in your shadow?
No, I don’t want it. I can do whatever you can do. One day, I want my father to be proud of me, not you...
No one knew what Wei Xiuyan was thinking. After Wei's father finished speaking, he hurried to Shuntian Mansion. Xiao Yuanzi did not show up openly, but followed quietly.
After arriving at Shuntian Mansion, Wei's father took off the drumstick and beat the injustice drum set up in front of the Yamen. As soon as the drum was sounded, the Yin of Shuntian Mansion would go to the court to inquire about the case. There must be no mistake. However, if someone beats it for no reason,
He will be beaten and lose half his life.
The current governor of Shuntian is none other than Li Wenzhong. He tidied up his clothes and sat down behind the case. He slapped his hands in shock, looked at Father Wei who was kneeling under the hall and said, "What is your name, and what grievances do you want to complain about?"
Father Wei knelt down and said, "To my lord, my name is Wei Daoming. I have no grievances to complain about!"
Li Wenzhong's face turned cold and he said: "Do you know that beating the drum of grievance for no reason is a serious crime, and according to the law, you should be punished with fifty sticks. At your age, you may not be able to survive under fifty sticks. Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Sir, calm down. Although the villain has no grievance to complain, he is guilty." Under Li Wenzhong's puzzled eyes, Wei's father opened the handkerchief in his hand, revealing a pile of silver, banknotes and jewelry, and said according to what he had thought of on the way.
: "Because the villain was living in embarrassment and obsessed with money, he blackmailed some traders and got nearly a thousand taels of silver. Afterwards,
The villain has been living in uneasiness and being condemned by his conscience. After thinking over and over again, he decided to surrender to the adults and ask for punishment. All the money here was obtained through blackmail, but unfortunately a lot of it has been used by the villain.
, now there are only more than 400 taels left, plus some jewelry, there are only more than 500 taels, and the remaining villain is really unable to pay back."
Li Wenzhong didn't expect this to be the case. After sizing Wei's father up, he said, "How did you blackmail them?"
Father Wei said solemnly: "To be honest, sir, my eldest daughter is the empress beside the emperor. The empress has very strict self-discipline and never wants to mention anything about the family to the emperor or seek any benefits, which makes the family increasingly poor.
Small heart
Feeling dissatisfied, he wrote to the empress several times, hoping to take care of the family, but he was severely reprimanded by the empress. In anger, the villain used the name of the empress to extort money from the traders. Now that I think about it, I really regret it.
"
The master said in Li Wenzhong's ear: "Sir, I remember that the concubine in the emperor's new register is named Wei. The person in the hall should be the concubine's father."
Li Wenzhong nodded slightly and was about to speak when the grievance drum rang outside again. Usually, the drum rarely rang once, but today it rang one after another, which was really strange.
This time, there were seven or eight people, both men and women, who were brought into the lobby. After they knelt down, they talked all over the place. Li Wenzhong patted the gavel and shouted: "You are so noisy.
, you will have to tell me one by one how this government will try the case."
Under his scolding, everyone stopped talking, and the person kneeling at the front said: "Your Excellency, I called Qin Yue to report to the official. Someone extorted money from me, which made me miserable. He
The amount of money extorted has reached as much as one thousand taels, but he still refuses to be satisfied.
Forcing the little people to continue to take money to show their respect, the little people really can't afford so much money and are afraid of his revenge, so they have no choice but to come and report to the official and ask the adults to make the decision for the little people." Because Wei Daoming knelt in front of them, so
They did not recognize that Wei Daoming was in the hall.
The master said softly: "Sir, it seems that the suffering masters are here, and it is just right for them to confront each other."
Li Wenzhong hummed slightly and said, "Come forward and take a look. Is this the person you want to sue?"
Qin Yue stood up and walked to Wei Daoming with a puzzled look on his face. When he saw the latter clearly, his expression suddenly changed, and there was disbelief in his eyes.
"What, is it him?" Li Wenzhong's voice woke him up from the shock, he lowered his head and said: "Sir, it is this man. He said that he is the father of your concubine. If the villain does not give him money, he will
I will tell the concubine and make it difficult for the little people to stay in the capital."
The master said: "Don't you ever doubt that my concubine, who lives in a deep palace, will not care about the affairs of common people like you?"
Qin Yue said in panic: "The villain doesn't know this and is afraid of getting into trouble, so I gave him the money. Who knew he was greedy and refused to give up."
Father Wei suddenly turned around, kowtowed to them, and said with tears in his eyes: "Yes, I was stupid and extorted your money. Every time I think about it, I feel regretful. I came here today to report this matter."
Sir, I will return the money to you. I will ask my family to find a way to make up for the rest. I beg your forgiveness!"
Those people obviously did not expect that such a situation would occur, and they were stunned and didn't know what to do. Qin Yue came to his senses first and said: "When you blackmailed us before, you spoke tough and showed no regret at all!"
The other one took the words and said angrily: "Yes, relying on my daughter to be the empress in the palace, she has threatened and extorted us, time and time again, simply to push us to death; we are the oldest and youngest in the family.
You took away all your hard-earned money, how can we feed our family?"
Wei's father was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He said with a sad expression: "I know I made a big mistake, but I was forced to have no choice at the time. My family was so poor that it was almost impossible to uncover the blame."
"Is it okay to extort money if you are poor? Can you be domineering? Besides, your daughter is a queen in the palace. No matter what, there is money for you. To say the least, even if you don't have it, you still have hands and feet. Can't you do things?
?”
Faced with that man's accusation, Wei's father almost broke his teeth. It was obvious that they were the ones begging for nothing and insisting on giving money, but now they were confusing right and wrong.
Want to harm Jingxuan
Fortunately, Jingxuan was smart and let him come to Shuntian Mansion first to seize the opportunity. Although he could not escape from prison, as long as Jingxuan was fine, the Wei family still had hope of prosperity; when Jingxuan gave birth to a dragon fetus, that was
When his Wei family was prosperous.
When his thoughts were turning, Wei's father sighed and said: "We have never thought about doing things, but each of us is very harsh. We have to work hard for a day, but even food and clothing are not a problem. Furthermore, if others know that we
He is a relative of your concubine, and her face is important.
Where to put it!" As he said that, he pushed the money on the ground in their direction and said: "All my money is here, I will give it back to you, and the rest... will be collected by my family after
Don’t worry, no matter how long it takes to raise money, you will definitely pay it back.”
