Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"As long as Qin Guogong decides the case impartially, even if Wen Zhao's head is beheaded, I, Cen Wenwen, will have no complaints. On the contrary, if you bend the law for personal gain... Hehe, Cen will not stand idly by! We, Tang Dynasty, have reason. "

"Then invite Cen Shilang to move to the Chang'an government office, and see how a certain Guo handles the case!"

Chapter 1721 Another case

Guo Ye sat in the middle of the main hall of the Kaifeng government yamen, and Cen Wenwen and Wen Sihai sat on both sides.All the yamen servants stood on the hatchback holding water and fire sticks.

At this time, Guo Ye's heart was overwhelmed with emotion.In modern society, there is a passage in Peking opera, "Bao Longtu meditates in Kaifeng Mansion", which is very popular.Now, Guo Ye, can we also say, "Guo Ziyi sits in meditation in Chang'an Mansion, call Mr. Cen, please listen carefully..."

Just as he was thinking wildly, Wen Sihai said softly: "Mr. Qin, can you lead someone to commit crimes now..."

"Ah, yes, bring..."

Just halfway through Guo Ye's words, he suddenly heard the sound of drums!

dong dong dong...

The sound of the drums was like thunder, shocking!

Wen Sihai's complexion changed, and he said, "Mr. Qin, someone is beating the drums to appeal for grievances!"

"Beat the drum to appeal for grievances?" Guo Ye turned his head to Cen Wenwen and said, "Someone beat the drum for appealing for grievances. It seems that there is a major grievance to be played. I am afraid that the officer will not care about Lingdi's case today. Why don't you go back and rest first?" ,Come again tomorrow?"

tomorrow?His Majesty Li Er will not be invited tomorrow.Cen Wenwen is not willing to agree.He shook his head and said: "There are always some unscrupulous people with narrow minds who come to the government office to file a complaint for a trivial matter. It is better to put the person who complained of grievances in the prison first, and try again in the future. Today, I would like to ask Qin Guo to interrogate my brother-in-law first. case."

The county magistrate is not as good as the county management.Regardless of Cen Wenwen's official Juzhong Shushilang, Wen Sihai didn't take him seriously.No matter how long your Zhongshu Shilang's hands are, can you manage Qin Guogong's staff?

He said: "Cen Shilang's words are wrong. Linger's lawsuit is nothing more than a few years of exile. There are not dozens of such cases in Chang'an Mansion every year. It's not a big deal. On the contrary, this matter of beating the drum for injustice is not a big deal. But it has been rare for a few years. From my point of view, it is better for Duke Qin to try the case of grievance first."

Guo Ye said: "It's better to call the person who complained of grievances to the court. Let's first ask him why he beat the drum and complained. If it is really a trivial matter, of course it will be retried at another day. If there are really major grievances, then we can only say nothing about it." Sergeant Cen has been wronged."

Guo Ye spoke politely, and Cen Wenwen could only nod in agreement.

With little effort, the person complaining of grievances was brought to the lobby.

Guo Ye and Cen Wenwen were taken aback when they saw the person coming!

There are a total of three complainants, two men and one woman.

Two men, one old and one young.They don't know the young man, but they all know the old man!His surname is Li and his name is Xinglian. He has the same official position as Cen Wenwen, and he is also the Minister of Zhongshu.

The chief of Zhongshu Province is Zhongshu Ling, and the descendant of Zhongshu Ling is Zhongshu Shilang.There is only one Zhongshuling, but there are two Zhongshu Shilang.It's good now, Datang's only two Zhongshu ministers, who don't work in the Zhongshu Province, have come to the Chang'an government office to file a lawsuit!

As for that woman, it is even more serious, this woman is Princess Gao Yang.

Between Princess Gao Yang and Guo Ye, it can be said that the enmity is as deep as the sea.

Princess Gaoyang has a relationship with Monk Bianji.Thinking back when Monk Bianji informed him, Guo Ye's family was almost ruined.It is not a gentleman to have a grudge, and Guo Ye put Monk Bianji into prison on the charge of treason.Within a few days, the monk Bianji fell ill and died.It goes without saying that it was Guo Ye who did the trick.Since then, Guo Ye has become the sworn enemy of Princess Gaoyang.

Both Guo Ye and Cen Wenwen quickly stood up and greeted Li Xinglian and Princess Gaoyang.

Seeing Cen Wenwen here, Li Xinglian was also stunned, and said, "Cen Shilang, why are you here?"

"Uh... It's a family misfortune. My younger brother had a little misunderstanding with Qin Guogong, and was arrested by Qin Guogong in the prison of the Chang'an government office. This is to plead with Qin Guogong."

Guo Ye sneered and said, "Your brother has violated the national law, and it's not because of any misunderstanding with someone from Guo. Sir Cen, please be careful!"

"Hmph! Whether it's a personal or public grudge, it's still unclear. Qin Guogong, please be careful with what you say."

Li Xinglian waved his hand and said, "I don't care about the troubles between you! Lord Qin, I just want to ask you a question, whether or not your Chang'an government cares about the case of missing persons?"

Guo Ye said: "Missing persons are public security cases, and both the Chang'an Mansion and the Leading Guard's Yamen can handle it. Coincidentally, Guo is both the Chang'an Commander and the General of the Leading Guard's Mansion. If you are looking for me, you will find the right person. What is it?" The person is missing, and you can actually work for your master?"

Li Xinglian looked Guo Ye up and down, snorted coldly, and said, "It is said that Duke Qin is a brave man, I saw you today, hmph, that's all!"

Guo Ye said unhappily: "Li Shilang, this is not the first time we two have met. What do you mean by 'I saw you today, but that's it'? You have something to say, don't be so sly."

Princess Gao Yang smirked, and said: "Mr. Qin's ability to pretend to be ignorant is really admirable. The affairs of Li Shilang's family have been spread throughout Chang'an City. It can be said that women and children know about it. You are still the leader of bad people. Well, insisting that you don’t know, really makes people laugh!”

As soon as Guo Ye saw Princess Gaoyang, he knew that she was holding back her fart.Ignoring her sarcasm, she bowed to Li Xinglian and said, "Li Shilang, whether you believe it or not, Mr. Guo really doesn't know anything about your family. If you can trust Mr. Guo, then Tell Guo about this matter in detail. Guo will definitely go all out to solve this case."

"You really don't know?"

"I really don't know."

"Okay, then the old man will trust you once. Sigh, speaking of it, it's really embarrassing. The old man had a brother named Li Xingquan who passed away the year before last. He left behind a group of orphans and widows. It's really miserable."

Guo Ye said: "I'm afraid my brother is not too young. The so-called orphans and widows..."

Li Xinglian pointed at the young man, and said: "This is Li Zhong, the orphan of my younger brother, who is only 19 years old this year."

Guo Ye secretly slandered, 19 years old is already an adult, okay?Even in modern society, that is the age to be a soldier.What's the big deal about dead father?What's more, with your uncle who is Zhongshu's servant taking care of you, Li Zhong's situation can't be compared with misery anyway.

He hummed lightly disapprovingly, and said, "Go on."

"Li Zhong's child is easy to talk about. The key point is that my brother's widow is only twenty-eight years old, and she has become a widow in her prime. It's really pitiful."

"What? Brother Ling's son is 19 years old, but his wife is only 16 years old. Why does the more I listen to it, the more awkward it becomes!"

"Uh... Zhong'er's biological mother died early, and this widow of my younger brother is Zhong'er's stepmother, named Lu Yanniang."

Guo Ye nodded and said, "It's not too bad. You mean that Lu Yanniang is missing, and you want me to help you find Lu Yanniang's whereabouts?"

"exactly."

"Then how did she disappear?"

Li Xinglian said: "Zhong'er, tell me."

Li Zhong timidly said: "One day, a few eunuchs came to the house and took away the villain's stepmother. She hasn't come back until now."

"Eunuch?" Guo Ye frowned, and said, "Did these eunuchs tell you who they were instructed by?"

"They said that a big man has taken a fancy to the villain's stepmother and wants to send her to the palace. How dare the villain argue with the big man in the palace? They can only go."

Guo Ye sneered, and said, "Li Zhong, I think you're just pretending to be confused. To be able to see your stepmother, it must be a man. And there is only one man in the palace, and that is the Emperor of Tang. Do you want to say that today, your stepmother was brought into the palace? In other words, what you want to say is that His Majesty robbed the daughters of the people!"

Chapter 1722 Official Documents

This is not the first time Guo Ye has heard of His Majesty Li Er's robbery of civilian women.

It was Ma Zhou and Ma Yuanju who mentioned this matter to him for the first time.For this matter, he also specifically asked Empress Changsun, and the answer he got was absolutely impossible.

Now, Li Xinglian brought Li Zhong to Chang'an Mansion to beat the drum of injustice, obviously for this matter.

For this matter, Guo Ye chose to believe in Queen Changsun.As the bedside person, Empress Changsun has the most say on His Majesty Li Er's physical condition.She said that His Majesty Li Er couldn't do it anymore, so she really couldn't do it.His Majesty Li Er is powerless in the face of beauties, so how could he engage in the act of robbing civilian girls?If you can see if you can see if you can snatch the beauty back, isn't that creating trouble for yourself?

Therefore, the disappearance of Li Xinglian's brother and daughter-in-law must have nothing to do with His Majesty Li Er.
