I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

Even Du Ronghui couldn't see it anymore, and said sullenly: "Mrs. Yang, brother Yang treats you well on weekdays. You know what kind of person he is."

In the end, Lan Cuihua got annoyed before he could finish speaking.

"Of course the concubine is clear, pretending to be a modest gentleman in front of outsiders, but secretly sneaking around with that bitch?

It’s fine to pay the wages, and the land rent is also exempted. If people are blind, they can’t see it?

The concubine is not a jealous woman, if the woman is not married, the concubine will definitely take the initiative to let the husband take a concubine.

But she is obviously married, but she still does some messy things with my husband-in-law. What face does the Yang family have when it is spread?

The concubine has tried to persuade the husband many times, but not only did he not listen, but he even attacked the concubine."

Speaking of this, Lan Cuihua played a full role, covering her face and crying bitterly.

Acting like this is really vicious.

Not only did she not speak good words for her husband, but she also poured dirty water on her, and pretended to be crazy and stupid, obviously she didn't want to communicate with Gu Ming too much, lest she would lose her words if she said too much.

However, Gu Ming didn't need to get anything out of this woman's mouth anymore, he already knew what he should know.

"Since that's the case, then I don't have anything to ask, Brother Du, let's go."

"Huh? Are you leaving now?"

Du Ronghui looked at Gu Ming with some surprise, not understanding what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"Well, let's go!"

Gu Ming got up and walked outside.

Du Ronghui had no choice but to leave.

When he got to a place where no one was around, Gu Ming said to Du Ronghui: "I already know about this case, how about this, I'll write you a sealing paper, and you take the paper and go to the capital to sue the imperial court."

"What? Sue imperial court?"

Du Ronghui thought he had heard wrong.

Suing the imperial court is a popular topic among the people.

Especially in dramas, there are many such dramas, which make people's blood boil with enthusiasm.

To put it simply, this is also a yy way.

But in reality, there are many cases of suing imperial petitions from ancient times to the present, but they are not as many and smooth as folklore.

As the so-called state-owned state law, the impeachment petition is a typical leapfrog appeal, and it usually belongs to the people suing the government.

As far as the law is concerned, there are laws to follow in the imperial petition.

However, the threshold is quite high, which cannot be afforded by ordinary people.

There are generally three ways to file an imperial petition in the capital:

One: The Ministry of Punishment has a drum specially used to sue the imperial court, named: Dengwen Drum.

If the people have grievances, they can come forward and beat the drum, which means to sue the imperial court.

However, it is extremely difficult to beat this drum.

After all, suing the imperial court is not a child's play. In order to prevent people from knocking on the Dengwen drum indiscriminately, this drum is guarded around the clock.

If you want to beat this drum, no problem, no matter you are male or female, you have to drag them to the execution hall to strip naked and roll on the nail boards, and get dozens of big boards.

Two: block the way and sue the imperial court.

This is even more dangerous because the emperor rarely leaves the palace, and he might not be able to see him for half a year.

Even if you are lucky enough to meet the emperor leaving the palace, how big is the battle?

Once he rushed forward, he would probably be hacked to death by the guards at a long distance, let alone handing over the paper.

In short, there is almost no success in blocking the way.

Three: Kneel and complain outside the gate of the palace.

This is actually similar to knocking Dengwen drums, and the risk factor is higher.

Because the guards outside the palace gate may directly treat the complainant as an assassin and hack him to death

Even if there are guards who are willing to report, they still have to be dragged to the Ministry of Punishment. No matter men or women, they will be stripped naked and rolled on nail boards, and then dozens of big boards will be applied.

The common people may not know much about this, and they all follow others' opinions, but Du Ronghui is a scholar who has read poems and books, so he naturally knows the truth in detail.

He is very clear that since ancient times, those who sue the imperial court have a very small chance of success.

Even if they win the lawsuit by luck in the end, most of the complainants will not end well. The general process is to be dispatched or even exiled into the army.

Therefore, when Gu Ming said that he would sue the imperial court, he would be extremely shocked and feel shuddering.

"That's right, because the government has already closed the case, Yang Juren and Bai Ling were sentenced to be executed after autumn, and the only way to reverse the case is to sue the court."

"But Mr. Gu Gu, how can it be so easy to sue the imperial court? Even if Du is willing to risk his life, I'm afraid it is impossible to sue.

Moreover, there are only twenty days before Brother Yang's execution, so even if you go to sue, it's too late."

After all, there is a process to sue the imperial court. I am afraid that Yang Chongshan and Yang Chongshan have already lost their heads before the emperor sees the paper. What is the point of suing?

Gu Ming smiled, with a confident expression.

"Brother Du, don't worry, since I asked you to sue for impeachment, I can't let you go in vain, and I can't make you suffer.

As long as you go to the capital with the pleading paper written by me, no one will dare to embarrass you.Moreover, they will also submit the paper of pleadings to the emperor as quickly as possible."

Hearing this, Du Ronghui was stunned for a while, and finally had a flash of inspiration: the surname is Gu, Rushan, and such a confident tone, could it be

"Dare to ask, Dare to ask Your Majesty, but you are the Grand Scholar of Yashenggu?"

Although Gu Ming no longer holds the post of cabinet bachelor, there are still many people, especially scholars, who are still accustomed to calling him a junior scholar.

Because for them, the title of bachelor is more representative of Gu Ming's status in the minds of scholars, which means profound knowledge.

Seeing that Du Ronghui had already guessed his identity, Gu Ming was lazy to hide it, and nodded with a smile.

No wonder, when we first met, Du Ronghui's face froze, he quickly took two steps back, and gave a long bow: "I will pay my respects to the Grand Master of Yasheng. If there was any impoliteness before, please don't blame the Grand Master!"

"Okay, you don't have to be too polite. Speaking of which, you are also loyal and courageous. You still think about the love of classmates and the friendship of old friends when others avoid things.

Therefore, I will grant your wish.

At that time, if you go to the capital with the pleadings and report my name, those guards will not dare to embarrass you. "

"Thank you, Master Gu, thank you, Master Gu!"

Du Ronghui wept with joy, and bowed again to thank him.

a few days later.

Du Ronghui came to the main gate of the palace with the paper in hand.

"Forbidden area of ​​the palace, the idlers leave quickly!"

Seeing Du Ronghui getting closer, the guards outside the palace gate immediately began to shout orders.

"Your Majesty, you are wronged!"

Du Ronghui had never filed a complaint, so he could only shout out his injustice according to the way in the play, and then knelt down facing the palace gate.

"Boldly making trouble for the people, how dare you disturb Sheng'an!"

Several guards rushed over with knives

Although it is unlikely that the sound of yelling outside the palace gate will reach the inner palace, but everything is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

"Gentlemen, this is the pleading paper written by Duke Shu himself, this is the pleading written by Duke Shu himself"

In fact, Du Ronghui was still a little scared. After all, he was just a scholar, and this was his first visit to the capital. How could he not be scared or afraid of these murderous palace guards?

Therefore, he could only hold up the pleadings and shout loudly.

This is his life-saving talisman.

"What? The pleadings written by the Duke of Shuguo?"

"Stop listening to his nonsense, cut it off!"

A leader shouted angrily.

"Boss, why don't you take a look at the pleadings first? What if it's true?"

A guard was quite calm, and whispered something to the team leader.

"That's right, that's right, Duke Shu's handwriting is unique in the world, and others can't fake it, just look at it."

Although the team leader didn't believe it at all, he still took the pleading paper in Du Ronghui's hand with the mentality of giving it a try.

Seeing this, his face immediately turned cold.

Although Gu Ming's handwritten calligraphy is not widely circulated to the outside world, there are quite a few handwritings in his published books.

Therefore, the team leader knew at a glance that it really looked like Duke Shu's handwriting.

Importantly, there is still a seal on the pleadings.

I'm afraid this is true. In the whole world, even if someone dared to pretend to be Shu Guogong, they would not go to the palace to pretend to be.

Now the team leader didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly asked, "Where did this pleading paper come from?"

"Returning to the official, this pleading paper was written by Shu Guogong himself and handed over to the villain."

"Give it to you personally? Are you a servant of the Duke Shu's mansion?"

"No, the villain is a scholar from Xinping County. By chance, he met Duke Shu. After learning that the villain's old friend was imprisoned wrongly, he wrote this petition and asked the villain to come to the capital to sue the imperial court. .”

"It turns out that you guys take this person to wait, and I will go to the palace to report."

"Yes!"

This is probably the smoothest time ever for a petitioner.

Not only was he not beaten, but he was taken to the house to sit down and make tea

After all, the Duke of Shuguo was willing to write a pleading paper for this person himself, which probably has something to do with it, so how dare they neglect it?

The team leader quickly came to the inner palace with the pleading paper, and after reporting it, handed it to the maid, who passed it on to Li Chen, the former imperial eunuch.

Li Chen recognized at a glance that this pleading paper was indeed written by Gu Ming himself, so he hurriedly took it and presented it to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Duke Shu wrote a paper for someone, saying that he wants to sue the imperial court."

"Ah? Gu Aiqing, why didn't he come in person?"

Emperor Yongping was confused and took the pleadings.

Just glanced at it, then said: "That's right, this is indeed Gu Aiqing's handwriting"

Emperor Yongping said while watching.

This pleading paper Gu Ming wrote in more detail, including the whole story of the case, his own inference, and the content of the secret conversation between Lan Cuihua and Lou Ashu that he visited.

After reading it, Emperor Yongping immediately yelled: "It's simply impossible, pass on my will, and order Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment to enter the palace to have an audience!"

"According to the order!"

Later, Emperor Yongping issued an edict ordering the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushitai to re-examine the case of Yang Chongshan and Bai Ling.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, and Yushitai are the three judicial divisions of the imperial court. When serious or important cases are encountered, the three judicial divisions sometimes need to be tried together, commonly known as the joint trial of the three divisions, or the three courts.

The joint trial of the three divisions can be in the capital, or go to the place where the crime occurred.

Usually, for the convenience of obtaining evidence, most of them still choose to go to the place where the crime occurred for interrogation.

For this joint trial, the local government office where the case was filed was selected.

After receiving the report from the imperial court, the magistrate in charge of the trial and several other officials involved broke out in a cold sweat on the spot.

This is really too weird.

Before, they heard some news that Du Ronghui had brought someone to the Yang Mansion.It's just that it didn't attract enough attention from this group of people.

After all, the case has already been settled, and the execution will be executed in ten days.

As a result, within such a short period of time, someone actually sued the Imperial Court, and it was approved?

The crowd is completely in disarray

After all, they knew in their hearts that Yang Chongshan and Bai Ling were indeed tortured into tricks, and the murderer was someone else.
