Food for the people

"The guard's arrow pierced Pan Shun's wrist, not to mention the hatchet, that hand will definitely not be able to hold a kitchen knife in the future. Mr. Qiao is really skilled. The group of people gathered together, and there was no one I can get close to him..." Standing in front of Lu Jincheng, Chen Huo described happily, and halfway through the description, seeing his prince frowned, he realized something belatedly, lowered his head, and said with a voice. He also lowered his head and said: "Forgive me, my lord. I was late, but Mr. Qiao didn't hurt even a single hair. Don't worry, my lord."

He was too complacent about what he said, and he forgot that Mr. Qiao is not just a random person, but someone his prince puts on top of his heart. His description may not make his prince think that Mr. Qiao is powerful, but only Feeling scared, after all, when he saw Pan Shun holding up the hatchet, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Although the guards of the royal residence who went with him afterwards said that Qiao Yu had already avoided the range of the hatchet in that flash, even if they hadn't arrived in time, the hatchet should not have hit Qiao Yu's body, nor could they appease Chen Cong In the slightest, if something really happened to Mr. Qiao, he should raise his head to see his prince.

He lowered his head and waited for his prince to get angry, but Lu Jincheng didn't get angry as he expected. He let out a long breath and said, "Got it, where is he now?"

Chen Huo quietly raised his head and glanced at Lu Jincheng's face, and after confirming that his lord was not planning to settle the score after Qiu Hou, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I went to the carpenter's house surnamed Liu, and the guards followed, and I should have taken it by now." I went to the yamen, I was going to go with Mrs. Shen, and I was afraid that the prince would be worried, so I came back first to send a letter to the prince."

"Okay, I see, you go." Lu Jincheng said.

Chen Hue turned his head to leave, but thought of something and turned his head and asked, "Do you want to send a message to Old Madam Shen?"

The man surnamed Pan raped the civilian girl and killed others first, and then he broke the ground after eating the bear's heart and leopard gall. According to the laws of the Yang Kingdom, his crime should be punished, but for such a person, it will be easier for him to die.However, Old Madam Shen was present, as long as he said a few words to the magistrate, even if Pan Shun died, he would not die so comfortably.

"No need, teacher, he knows what to do."

Chen hurriedly responded and left in a hurry.

Qiao Yu has been here for almost four months, and this is the first time he has entered this yamen. The last time Zhao Chongyang was involved, Mr. Youyan helped him with full authority, and Zhao Chongyang aimed to destroy the car so that it would not hurt others, so it was nothing. It's a big problem, so I didn't bother him to make this trip.

Although it was said that Zhao Chongyang suffered a lot after being locked up for more than ten days, and after he came out, he closed the door overnight to pick up the plaque and left Hanyang City, but it has nothing to do with Qiao Yu.

Today's situation is different. There are all evidences of Pan Shun's intention to hurt others, and Mr. Shen saw it with his own eyes. This matter is a certainty, and Pan Shun's sophistry cannot be tolerated. If this is the only thing, maybe Qiao Yu will come to confront him Evidence will do.

But apart from the matter of intentionally hurting people, Pan Shun also forcibly robbed the civilian girl and killed her. This matter can be found out through the matter of Qiao Yu, and it is not something that can be overturned with just a single testimony. .

Besides, in addition to Pan Shun, Liu Qiaoshou and his big-bellied mother-in-law were also mixed in, as well as a bunch of local hooligans who collected money and handled errands. None of these people ran away and were sent to the yamen together. Had to follow this trip.

Old Shen had already entered Fengtian Mansion before him, and the magistrate heard the report from the yamen servant, saying that Mrs. Shen had come to report the case, so he was so surprised that he came to invite him in person, and immediately asked him why the old man came when he saw anyone.

Ever since he ascended the throne today, Mrs. Shen has written a letter to resign from the title of Tai Tuo and concentrate on being his carpenter, but was dismissed by today's minister and told him to do whatever he wants. up court.Although it has become a false job, it is enough to show the greatness of Long's kindness to him today.

No one in the civil and military courts of the Manchu dynasty should bow their heads to the old matriarch, and even the fourteenth prince of Prince Yan's mansion, who is favored by the current empress dowager, has to be respectful and respectful when he sees Mr. Shen.

Such a person, a mere magistrate, would dare to neglect and offend him.

"Why is Mrs. Shen coming to Fengtian Mansion here? But it's okay to say." The magistrate respectfully invited him into Fengtian Mansion and asked after serving tea.

"I don't know, according to the laws of the Yang Kingdom, what is the crime of plotting to commit crimes and intending to injure others?"

The magistrate was startled, and thought that whoever had the guts to eat the ambitious leopard, Old Madam Shen dared to do something on the head, and hurriedly asked: "Is the magistrate all right? Is the madman from this family dying?"

Old Shen waved his hand: "It's not me, there is someone else."

The magistrate was surprised again, the magistrate has never married a wife in his life, only an adopted daughter, who was married a few years ago, what attracted him so much attention, could it be that something happened to the grandchildren?

"I don't know who the old lady is talking about? Did you come with the old lady?"

Old Shen said: "He has to wait for a while, but I have already brought you the one who plots evil and intends to hurt people."

With the permission of the magistrate, Old Shen ordered his servants to bring everyone into Fengtian Mansion one by one, and Pan Shun was the one who walked in the front.

The arrow on his wrist had already been broken, and he simply sprinkled some sore medicine, but at least he didn't bleed anymore, but in the end, he lost too much blood, his face was covered with green ashes, and his expression was really ugly.Kneeling on the ground while being held down by four servants, there was a half-smile expression on his face.

He still doesn't know that everything he did has been exposed, and he still has the dream that Liu Qiaoshou and his sister will come to pick him up, so he is not very desperate, and he still has the mind to look around, consider who Shen Lao is, and follow him. What does Qiao Yu have to do with it?

Old General Shen told the ins and outs of the matter to the magistrate, and the magistrate's eyes widened when he heard it, and he said angrily: "There is such a thing! Is the young master here?"

Just as Mr. Shen was about to reply, he saw a yamen servant coming in from outside, leaning into the magistrate's ear and said: "My lord, there is a person who calls himself Qiao Sheng, and he wants to see your lord."

Old Shen's complexion changed, and he said to the magistrate: "The young master you are looking for, he is here."

Qiao Yu walked into the gate of Fengtian Mansion together with the yamen servant. Fengtian Mansion was majestic and solemn, and the people who watched it felt a little nervous. Besides him, there were two servants behind him, a guard, who was carrying a knife and arrow, so he was naturally stopped Outside Fengtian Mansion, Qiao Yu and his servant went to the court together with Liu Qiaoshou and his mother-in-law. After Liu Qiaoshou and Pan Shun had a face-to-face meeting, the two of them knelt together one after the other. Qiao Yu was led by the yamen servants to the wing room next to the wall.As soon as Qiao Yu saw the magistrate, he knelt down without saying a word.

Qiao Yu's parents passed away early, and he has spent ten years groping outside. He has endured all kinds of hardships. Basically, no man has the idea of ​​having gold under his knees. Whoever kneels down is different in this place, the official rank crushes people to death, let alone a commoner like Qiao Yu.

The magistrate didn't intend to make Qiao Yu kneel and reply, Qiao Yu's knee fell on the ground as soon as he touched it, and then he was helped up by the magistrate: "Young master, if you have something to say, you can speak directly, there are no outsiders here, Mr. I have already told me what happened, so please repeat it in detail, Young Master, and I will get someone to write the evidence."

The magistrate still doesn't know Qiao Yu's identity, but he is well-informed after all, and he doesn't judge people by their appearance just because of Qiao Yu's clothes.

There are less than five people in this world who can make Old Madam Shen treat you differently, not to mention Qiao Yu has a deceptive face.

Qiao Yu's retelling was more complete than Shen Lao's. He started with his own blueprint, talked about Liu Qiao's greedy desire to take the blueprint as his own, and said that he had given the blueprint to Shen. The old plenipotentiary agent said that after meeting Pan Shun on West Street, he just wanted to ask about the situation, but Pan Shun did not say a word, and then how did he plan to hire someone to come to his door, trying to bring him He cheated and tied him to Liu's house, and finally the conspiracy was revealed, and he became angry and wanted to rise up and hurt others.

Speaking of this, Qiao Yu paused for a moment, and continued: "My lord, my matter is actually not a big deal, whether it's a drawing or intending to hurt someone, in the end it didn't hurt me, it's just that Pan Shun committed a heinous crime. This is not the only thing I did wrong, and I hope my lord will see clearly."

Outside the courtroom separated by a wall, Pan Shun was kneeling with his sister and brother-in-law. At this time, he realized that something was wrong. He couldn't help but glanced back and asked: " Why are you here?"

It was fine if he didn't ask this question, but when he asked Liu Qiaoshou's eyes were filled with fire, he gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't for you, a broom star, how could I have ended up in such a mess, you still have the nerve to ask me!"

Liu Qiaoshou has always been bullying and shy of toughs. Ever since Pan Shun came to their house, Liu Qiaoshou dared not even look at him, let alone scold him. Obedient words came out of his mouth one after another.

Pan Shun went smoothly at home, how long has he been so angry, and now he is about to become a prisoner, and he didn't see his situation clearly, so he turned his head and stared at Liu Qiao's hand fiercely, and said, "Say it again!"

At this time, Liu Qiaoshou was not afraid of his few words of threats, so he scratched his neck, and cursed again: "I just said that you are a broom star? I have been unlucky for eight lifetimes. I married a woman like your sister, and then When I meet an idiot like you, don’t say it once, I’ll still dare to say it ten times!”

Pan Shun was furious, and his face turned blue again. He didn't know what medicine his brother-in-law, who was shy like a tortoise, had taken wrongly today. He was angry and felt something was wrong. Looking at his older sister, he saw his big-bellied older sister kneeling beside Liu Qiao's hands as if she had lost her soul. Seeing him looking over, she suddenly burst into tears.

"Shunzi, sister can't keep you."

Pan Shun still didn't know why she said this, before he could say anything, he saw the figure of the magistrate hurried in from behind, Gavel slapped on the desk, and said: "Come on, troublemaker Pan Shun is doing harm to the people." They robbed the women of the people, causing the woman Chen Wanxiang to die in shame. Pan Shun was given a hundred rods and put in prison. People went to Shuanghe Town, Changyang County to invite Chen Wanxiang's parents to come to Beijing to testify. Cover up your parents and children to harm the common people, and bring them to Beijing together!"

"Liu Qiaoshou and his wife Liu Panshi did not report their knowledge, covered up their evil deeds, and connived at this son's intention to injure others and commit murder. He is guilty of the same crime, and the rod will be fifty! Take me to the prison together!"
