An autumn rain and a cold, wind mixed with raindrops blew in from the window. Mr. Lin, who was sitting in the duty room, couldn't help but shudder. He tightened his official robe slightly and listened to the cadence of the people in the hall over there.
sound.
This is the voice of Jiang Shisan, a famous litigator in Taiyuan Prefecture.
"...Stop talking nonsense, why haven't I heard of this kind of law?"
"...Madam, this was proposed by Dali Temple during the case of Wang Sanniang in Ganzhou. It is not in the law, but it is also approved by the emperor..."
Hearing this, Mr. Lin yawned. Miss Jun was already difficult enough, and now she has invited this difficult litigant. It seems that it will not be easy for Mrs. Fang to escape without cutting off her flesh this time.
In fact, Mrs. Fang has spent a lot of money now. Otherwise, the county magistrate would not even care about playing with the cat, and would sit in the hall every day and listen to their bickering, and it would not be for money.
But he didn't dare to ask for the money. It was better to stay away from the evil. Mr. Lin reached out to pick up the tea on the table, and someone suddenly lifted the curtain and came in.
Chief Lin thought it was a clerk in the yamen, but when he looked up, he saw a strange old woman.
"Hey, what do you do?" he asked with a frown.
The old woman looked embarrassed.
"I, I'm looking for Miss Jun." She said, then knelt down, "Please Miss Jun, please help me."
He came to see Miss Jun for treatment, which is not uncommon these days. Mr. Lin waved his hand impatiently.
"Go, Miss Jun is not here." He said, calling someone.
Several government officials ran in and carried the old woman out.
"How did someone break in?" Chief Secretary Lin said angrily, "I know there are a lot of people watching the excitement recently, but the Yamen is not a restaurant, anyone can get in."
The government officials responded repeatedly and carried the old woman out.
"I want to see Miss Jun." The old woman begged herself uneasily.
"Miss Jun is not here." A yamen servant said impatiently due to the noise.
Miss Jun is not here? A glint flashed in the old woman's eyes.
"Miss Jun..." She grabbed the yamen servant's sleeve and said hastily. Before she finished speaking, she saw a commotion at the yamen door, and someone walked in slowly.
The goose-yellow cloak cannot hide her graceful figure. She is none other than Miss Jun.
The government officials were stunned and hurriedly grabbed the old woman to prevent her from rushing forward.
The old woman seemed to be too frightened to respond, and just watched Miss Jun walk into the courtroom.
"Miss Jun came back right after she took a break." The officials came back to their senses and whispered to each other.
Hearing this sentence, the old woman's eyes flashed again.
"Where did Miss Jun go? Why can't I find her?" she said tremblingly.
The government officials glanced at her and raised their chins into the hall.
"Miss Jun went to Taiyuan Mansion to invite Jiang Shisan." One of the government officials said.
So that's it, the old woman looked thoughtful.
"Miss Jun, save my family..." She seemed to have just recovered and was about to rush into the hall.
The government officials stopped her and threw her out without hesitation.
The old woman sat in front of the Yamen and wiped her tears. She did not wait here for a moment. She stood up and left tremblingly. As soon as she left the public's sight and turned into the alley, her figure straightened up and her steps did not tremble.
Weiwei entered a house with swift steps.
"Is there any doubt about his whereabouts?"
After listening to the report, the man in the house had a complicated expression.
"I'm in Yangcheng now, and I went to Taiyuan some time ago. Please call Jiang Shisan, the prosecutor."
He was pacing back and forth. This has nothing to do with the Fang family. So who did it?
He raised his foot and kicked the low stool away.
"What a hell."
.........
........
Yuan Bao walked in a hurry with his head lowered. His posture was much lower than the last time he appeared in the palace. Because he lowered his head, he didn't notice anyone until he heard a slight cough in front of him.
He raised his head and saw Lu Yunqi standing in front of him, with four guards in uniform staring at him coldly.
"Master Lu." He hurriedly saluted respectfully, then bent his body when he thought of something, "Your Majesty, are you in the Qinzheng Hall?"
His voice was flattering.
Lu Yunqi hummed and stepped aside.
Yuan Bao saluted them again and passed them.
"Why is this kid pretending to be a grandson all of a sudden?" A guard in Jinyi looked at Yuan Bao's back and said, "Don't you privately claim that you are His Majesty's most popular person?"
"It's just that those eggless guys are getting more and more arrogant and dare to touch our informants." Another Jin Yiwei said coldly.
"It's good to know the word "Your Majesty." Lu Yunqi said, "We are all doing things for His Majesty."
No matter who is nobler than whom, it’s all the same.
Yuan Bao knelt on the ground with a pop, his whole body seemed to be limp.
"Your Majesty, this slave deserves to die," he cried.
The emperor on the throne in front was holding a memorial in his hand and seemed to be engrossed in it, neither hearing nor seeing it.
Others might not dare to speak. After all, Yuan Bao has been with him since he was a child.
"I only found traces of the burned car." He lay on the ground and said with snot and tears. "The silver was never found, and nothing was found from the Fang family. This slave deserves to die."
He kowtowed as he spoke, and his forehead was instantly bruised and purple.
"Okay." The emperor's voice floated down from above, accompanied by a snapping sound.
Yuan Bao immediately dared not make any more noise and lay motionless on the ground.
"If you lose it, you lose it. If you can't find it, you can't find it. It's no big deal." The emperor said.
Nothing? Yuan Bao raised his head in surprise and saw the emperor's face was kind, without the slightest anger.
The emperor rarely got angry. Of course, this was just an appearance, but now Yuan Bao felt that the emperor really had no anger.
Your Majesty is thinking about old feelings, so you let him go? Yuan Bao wondered suspiciously, will he think highly of himself? After all, the silver is not ordinary silver...
"Silver is silver." The emperor said with a smile on his face, "Silver is only extraordinary in the hands of specific people."
Yuan Bao was a little confused and looked at the emperor with tears in his eyes.
"As stupid as that old thing." The emperor suddenly said with disgust, "You are obviously stupid, but you still call others stupid."
Old thing...
There is only one old man in the palace...
If others heard this, they would be frightened, but Yuan Bao just looked panicked.
"Your Majesty, be careful what you say." He advised with some uneasiness.
The emperor tapped the memorials on several cases one by one.
"What are you being cautious about? I have been cautious for half my life. I have eliminated two troublemakers and only this one is left. After so many years, there is nothing to be afraid of." He said.
Afraid is not afraid, after all, she is his mother, Yuan Bao said.
"Of course this money is important." The emperor continued, with a bit of ridicule, "but none of you have understood one thing."
What's up?
Yuan Bao looked at the emperor in confusion.
"As long as this silver leaves the Fang family, it makes sense no matter where it comes from." The emperor said, "But it is stealing, robbing, or even coming from the hands of a gold man. What does this have to do with me?
?”
Only if you make a fortune in Fangjia, Deshengchang, Banking, and Shandong, this series of background involvement will bring trouble.
Yuan Bao nodded suddenly. In this way, it seemed that it was really not that scary.
"What's so scary?" The emperor stroked the table, "Have you all forgotten that I am the emperor? I have the final say as to whether I am afraid or not. If I say I am afraid, it will make you think that I am afraid. I will say
Don’t be afraid…”
He smiled slightly, picked up the memorial in front of him and threw it away.
"I will naturally let you know that I am not afraid." (To be continued)
