Unparalleled Women in the World

Chapter 47 Undercurrent

Xu Jingzhi, these three words spread throughout the capital within a day.

Why would he spread his fame?

Because he did a great job!

Since ancient times, it has been even more difficult for people to sue officials, but he did it.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the founding empress of Daliang!

The monarchy of the former dynasty collapsed, the politics was dark, the high-ranking gentry invaded the land, and the officials of the court and China concealed each other. How many unjust, false and wrong cases were there among the people?People have nowhere to complain, and the more they complain, the more they lose their lives!

The founding empress of Daliang absorbed the training of the previous dynasty and specially set up a "Supervisory Division" in Beijing, which is independent of the San Gong and Jiu Qing, and has the responsibility to review hundreds of officials. The channel, this is, is set up for the voice of the people.

Naturally, when the Supervisory Division was first set up, the Empress took the lead to encourage them, and the people who appealed came in droves. The Supervision Department heard the trial, because not only would he lose face and official, but he would even lose his life!The empress values ​​people's livelihood and the rule of law even more. Once the official's guilt is verified by the supervisory department, the outcome of the offender is usually very miserable!

Over the past few decades, the judicial and criminal cases in Daliang have gradually developed and improved. Hundreds of officials break the law, and those who commit serious crimes are sent to Yushitai Prison. Crying for grievances and suing has made the government office of the supervisory department deserted in recent years, and it has gradually become a non-existent one.

This morning.

The people on the Jingdao suddenly heard the deafening sound of drums beating "Dong Dong".

Someone passed by the Supervision Department and saw that the Drum of Wronging on the east side was rang by a handsome young man.

The special significance of the Supervision Department made everyone interested in watching the excitement. They rushed to tell each other in twos and threes. After a while, the Supervision Department's office was already overcrowded.

I saw the two rows of heroic female officials in the hall, holding up the "quiet" plaque in their hands, and sang in unison:

"mighty……"

"mighty……"

The chief interrogator of the Supervision Department, with her official uniform trimmed, was sitting high in the hall. She gave a "slap" sound of a gavel and said:

"Who is in the hall, and what is the complaint?"

This young and handsome son, with a calm expression and a gentle voice:

"My lord, Xu Jingzhi, the son of Xu Mao, the former Shangshu Ling, sued the Taiwei Xu Yu today for framing my mother and causing her to suffer injustice. More than a hundred people in the Xu family have lost their souls to the underworld, and there is no peace..."

The presiding judge, the two saber eyebrows on her face stood up suddenly, and sweat was already dripping on her forehead:

Xu Mao's injustice, Xu Yu's thunderous tactics, and the empress's loss of majesty... The involvement is too deep and too wide, she really can't make a conclusion, or she will lose her official position and life!It's so difficult!

The presiding officer sighed slightly, she announced the rest of the atrium, then got up and went to the back room, urgently called the left and right mirrors, confidantes, and after whispering, she used the word "tuo" to test the queen during this period, and the The reaction of Taiwei Xu!

In front of the Supervision Department, among the crowd watching the excitement, someone recognized this Xu Jingzhi, who had lived in Diqing's mansion for more than ten years, and was Qi Guangchang's foster son, Young Master Mingxin!

With this level of relationship, the officials in the Supervision Department did not dare to treat him too much, but instead served him good tea and waited on him.

After the atrium, the trial process of the Supervisory Division suddenly slowed down, but a copy of the statement was quietly handed over to the Queen's court.

Ten years ago, Shangshu ordered Xu Mao to commit treason with the enemy, and sentenced him to be arrested and sent to Yushitai Prison, to be executed in a timely manner, and all his families were copied and beheaded.Now his youngest son has appealed to the Supervision Department to avenge his mother's grievances, and presented a series of evidence, all of which point to Taiwei Xu Yu.

The empress looked down, Xu Mao is upright and not good at changing things, and sometimes contradicts her. Although she cherishes her talent, she hates her temper. When the two conspiracy letters were handed in back then, she was so angry that she didn't stand on her side. Xu Mao thought for her from the perspective of her, and directly sentenced her to kill her!

The purpose of Xu Yu's doing this is just a power struggle?The queen sighed slightly: she was too rash in this matter!

The history of Xu Mao's injustice involved too much, and in the end the empress ordered the prime minister, doctor censor, and empress to interrogate together.

The emperor Qi Guangchang even showed his face during this time, he said: Xu Jingzhi was adopted only because he felt sorry for him and was almost betrayed.Knowing his true identity is only a little earlier than the ministers. His expression is extremely sincere, and his words are flawless. The ministers called him just to confirm that Xu Jingzhi is the adopted son of Emperor Qi Guangchang.

Xu Jingzhi's witness: she was the scribe who described the fraud, so the matter was serious, she was worried that Xu Yu would kill her, so she ran away early at night.

Xu Jingzhi's physical evidence: He handed over a thick stack of letters, which contained evidence of Xu Yu's connection with Chu.

Xu Yu was dying: "You can fake these letters!"

The princess Ji Huan said coldly: "Just correspond to the events in this letter, list the time and the relationship between the characters, and it will be clear at a glance."

Xu Yu's eyes cracked: "Ten years ago, Xu Mao and I had nothing to do with each other. What good would it do me to harm her?"

Prime Minister Chi said indifferently: "Ten years ago, you were a Tingwei, one of the Nine Ministers, and today, ten years later, you have become a Taiwei, one of the Three Dukes.

The current Shang Shuling is your old department, Xu Mao stepped aside, she immediately added it, this is really a good move! "

Doctor Yushi was more straightforward: "If you want to help your niece to the top, you naturally have to get rid of your differences and increase your power. Xu Mao is a minister, but the official Weibo has a heavy responsibility. If you fail to win over, you will expose your liaison with the state of Chu. Just do nothing and keep on framing her."

Ji Huan stared for a while, and she made a decision: "Taiwei Xu Yu will be sent to prison, waiting for the queen to find out, and all those involved in the case will be taken into custody and sentenced for their crimes!"

At this point, the Xu family withdrew from the ranks of the top aristocratic families in central Beijing, and the second princess, Ji Man, felt as if her arm had been broken, and her vitality was seriously injured!

……

It was dusk, Honghui Courtyard.

Chi Yanfei had just finished copying "Liang Lv" once a day, Fang put down his pen, raised his eyes and saw Chi Jiayan running in with a blushing face.

"Xiaoyan, you are..."

Chi Jiayan sat directly across from Chi Yanfei, staring at her with bright eyes, with an expression of desire.

Jiufang walked to the table and poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Chi Jiayan with both hands.

Chi Yanfei raised her eyebrows: "Who bullied you?"

Chi Jiayan took the tea, his hands were cold, his eyes were slightly bright, and he took a sip from his lips. It turned out to be ice-cold scented tea, fresh and fragrant, mixed with a touch of sweetness.

"Nobody bullied me!"

"What's your expression like?"

Chi Jiayan carefully observed Chi Yanfei's face, seeing her soft eyes mixed with some concern, his eyes dodged a little, hesitatingly said:

"Second sister, should I...should...accept Zhou Qiong?"

Chi Yanfei smiled slightly: "So, she's chasing you..."

Chi Jiayan's face flushed suddenly, and he explained in a low voice:

"I also met her at my father's funeral. After that, she would often send specialties from all over Meicheng, as well as some strange things..."

"According to the date stated in her letter, she will arrive in these two days..."

Chi Yanfei looked at him playfully, and asked with a smile, "How do you feel about her?"

"She has a beautiful appearance, a good character, and an outstanding literary talent..."

"With such an evaluation, it seems that you have also taken a fancy to her!"

Chi Jiayan was slightly startled, he puffed up his cheeks, and said:

"I just have a crush on her, and it may not be her, so I'm here to ask my sister what she means!"

Chi Yanfei picked up the teacup and took a sip of the juice. She thought for a while and said:

"Zhou Qiong has a good character and a clean family style. Since you have a good impression, why don't you try dating?"

Chi Jiayan opened his eyes wide: "Acquaintance?"

"Since it is a consideration of character, it is natural to have relatives, friends and elders present..."

Chi Yanfei's expression suddenly softened, and his voice was clear, with a hint of a smile: "Wang Qing also needs to test her well!"

"Wang Qing has a lot of ideas!"

……

Mei Wangqing can often see Chi Jiayan recently, and he is accompanied by a beautiful woman.

In order to relieve Chi Yanfei's boredom, Mei Wangqing made a set of chess and cards. This woman can play "Fighting the Landlord" just by observing the interactions of a few people at the scene, and occasionally win a few games.

This woman can not only talk with Chi Yanfei about the customs and customs of various places, classics and legends, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, astronomy and geography, but also laugh with Mei Wangqing about interesting things about the ancient and modern world!

Chi Yanfei's hand lightly covered the jade hand that was banging on the table in boredom, she flipped her plain hand and entangled her fingers:

"What does Wang Qing think of her?"

Mei Wangqing looked at Zhou Qiong and Chi Jiayan who were not far away, who were bowing their heads and whispering under the corridor: "It's a rare gentle and talented girl!" She felt the tension between her fingers gradually tighten, and the warm hands were Rubbing her palm:

"Although she is good, she is not as good as Yan Fei!"

Chi Yanfei's heart was sweetened, and the corners of his lips smiled slightly: "Wangqing, let's talk more about love..."

"I am not good at……"

"It's okay, I can teach you!"

"You, don't teach me!"

"Wangqing, it's easy to please me!"

Mei Wangqing's face was slightly hot.

"..."

"Meicheng Zhou, Zhou Qiong's grandma and my grandma are sisters, they moved to Meicheng, Qingzhou after they left the house in the early years"

"This Zhou Qiong is a good match!" Mei Wangqing asked curiously, "Does she have servants in her house?"

Chi Yanfei's eyes dimmed:

"For a girl from an aristocratic family, a housekeeper is indispensable. Zhou Qiong, after all, I have to call her cousin...how can she be exempt at this age!"

"However, Xiaoyan, he said he doesn't care about these things in the back house!"

Mei Wangqing thought for a while, and added: "Then we must capture her heart, restrain her behavior, and let her see him as the only one in her heart!"

Chi Yanfei's eyes showed admiration: "Wang Qing's love words are good!"
