Chapter 59 Dali Temple Minister
A shocking case occurred in Chang'an County!
Early in the morning, someone beat drums and complained about the grievances. Several yamen runners on duty came out yawning and were about to scold them, but they saw that the door was covered with heads, and they were shocked. Seeing that these grievances were dressed cleanly, everyone was wearing white clothes, white hats and mourning clothes, and a big word "filial piety" was stabbed with a black thread on their chest, which was very eye-catching under the light of the rising sun.
Although these yamen runners are all low-level figures in society, they often walk in public places, and have more knowledge than ordinary people. They only glanced at each other and knew that something big happened.
The Wang family in Taiyuan is famous in Chang'an. There are hundreds or thousands of servants in his family. They often walk around the streets to buy goods. Sometimes when the yamen runners meet on the streets, they can't help but bow down and chat for a few words, so they are very familiar with the servants of the Wang family.
A yamen runner hurried down the steps and pulled a familiar Wang clan to ask carefully: "Brother Liu, so many people suddenly came here early in the morning, what's the charter?"
The servant named Liu looked sad and whispered: "After the order of my master, I came to the yamen to make an appeal!"
"Trying for justice? What's wrong?" The yamen runner was slightly stunned and said disbelief: "Is there anyone in the territory of Chang'an City that dares to bully Wang? Has he eaten the courage of Xiongxin and leopard?"
"It was not because someone bullies Wang, but because my second wife of the Wang family died and was poisoned to death by the highly poisonous medicine." The servant named Liu said hatefully.
"Hiss!" The yamen runner gasped and his heart skipped a beat: "This is a major case that is life-threatening!" He looked around quietly and asked in a low voice: "Who is so powerful? I'm afraid he is not an ordinary person who can give poison to the second wife of Wang's house.
The servant named Liu gritted his teeth and said, "This person's name is Han Yue, and he was named a man in Jingyang County. The poison was not sent to the Wang family, but my mistress's heatstroke yesterday and ordered someone to buy a bottle of drinks. I never thought that shortly after drinking it, the old man would return to the west..."
The yamen runners only felt a loud bang in their minds and were stunned.
God, this case is about to collapse. The deceased is the mistress of the Wang family in Taiyuan. However, the suspect involved a marquis. Both the victim and the defendant are all high-level figures. It is hard to see anyone on weekdays. I didn’t expect that now I would come to sue. Will Chang'an County dare to sentence him?
Chang'an County really dares not sentence!
What is the status of the Wang family in Taiyuan? One of the five great families in the world, one of the five surnames and seven families. Not to mention the disciples and children all over the world, but only the court has close confidants, the clan leader Wang Gui was appointed as the Minister of Rites, and there were 17 people with titles in the sect. What a huge force this is? How could his family’s case be judged by a small county magistrate?
Let’s talk about the suspect Han Yue. Although he was just a farmer’s son a few months ago, he is now a man from Xinfeng County. The young genius is famous in Chang'an, mosquito coils are sold to thousands of households, and Huoxiang Zhengqi Water saves many people. Such a promising person is not stupid. He still understands the saying that he should not bully the young man’s poor.
There is no way, the temple gate is too small and the matter is too big, so poke it up.
The case was handed directly to the Yongzhou Prefecture Office!
Where is the Yongzhou Prefecture Office? It was later Jingzhao Prefecture, which was the administrative agency where the Tang Dynasty capital was located. This yamen was a bit awesome. Generally, he served as the governor of Yongzhou with a high-qualified prince. Next, he set up a long-time official in charge of things.
Its previous governor was His Majesty Li Er, our famous Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. However, he had not ascended the throne at that time, so he was led by the name of King Qin.
Its current governor was Li Xiaogong, the rascal prince who was irritated by everyone in the Tang Dynasty. This was a hob meat that could almost be compared with Cheng Yaojin. It was deeply trusted by Li Er and had heavy troops in his hand.
How about it, this yamen is big enough, right? But Li Xiaogong doesn’t want to take on this case either.
Why?
It's easy to recruit!
The Wang family is not only a thousand-year-old wealthy family, but also has alliances with other major families through marriage and other means. The relationship is intricate and can be called a huge monster. Even if Li Shimin wants to move, he has to think about it again and again. Although Li Xiaogong is not afraid, he does not want to make enemies in vain.
The hob meat waved her hand and said shamelessly: "I stayed in a brothel overnight last night, and was almost shaken by a few girls. Today, I am both sleepy and tired. I don't want to investigate the case. I will write you a note and go to complain."
So the case continued to push up, and this time we arrived at Dali Temple.
This yamen is even more awesome, equivalent to the Supreme Court of later generations, with great power, because every case it examines will be tried by the Minister of the Dali Temple, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Justice, and the Chief Censor, and the Chief Censor, and even His Majesty Li Er will inquire.
When the case arrived here, the Dali Temple Minister smiled faintly and Shi Shiran took it.
The surname of Dali Temple is Pei Ju. He has a legend in a later novel. He was nicknamed Shi Zhixuan (here is a tribute to the novel of Huang Yi).
Pei Ju was a sensible figure in the former Sui Dynasty. Now he is 79 years old. The old man has been with two or four generations and has been dealing with the emperor all his life. Although the Wang family is huge, he still can't scare him.
"Come!" The old man shouted a yamen runner and said drowsyly: "You should take my order to go to Tianjiazhuang quickly and invite the man in Jingyang County to come over, and say that someone sued him for his life... I also want to see this young genius, hehe, inventing mosquito coils to make water trucks for the country and the people, Huoxiang Zhengqi Water saved countless people in Chang'an, why did it suddenly become poisonous? Go quickly, I am very interested in this case and couldn't help but have to examine it carefully to see what the trick here is, and it actually made Wang come out to bite people again."
The old man spoke too ruthlessly, but a group of Wang family members below dared not speak out, so they could only wait in the lobby honestly.
...
...
Tianjiazhuang is only more than twenty miles away from Chang'an. The yamen runs all the way, and it takes only half an hour to arrive at the place.
The Dali Temple came to invite someone, which was somewhat beyond Han Yue's expectations, but when he heard that it was Wang in Taiyuan who sued him for fake medicine to harm others, he suddenly burst into laughter.
"Why am I saying that, as long as the letter is sent, it will definitely cause a storm. Now it's coming." He sat cross-legged in the yard, with a hint of disdain in his smile, and curled his lips: "It's said that Wang Lingyun is full of tricks, but he didn't expect to use such despicable means. Hehe, it's too petty."
"The Marquis still needs to be careful. Now the other party is planning to do it with human life. The second wife of the Wang family is still the one who died. This matter is probably difficult to be good." Li Fenghua held his left arm that had just been bandaged, with a faint worry on his face.
Han Yue shouted: "Soldiers come to block the enemy, and water comes to cover the earth. Even if Wang Lingyun's methods are cruel, wouldn't I be prepared?"
He glanced at the yamen runner waiting beside him, and suddenly reached out to take out his usual copper coins and stuffed them, and laughed and said, "Han Yue was really uneasy when he drove this brother to come. Since the Dali Temple Minister issued a warrant and asked me to go quickly, we can't let the old man wait for a long time, so what should we do now?"
"The Marquis is polite to the servants, and I am very grateful!" The yamen runner took the money and smiled all over his face. He went out to pull the horse and fell down his saddle for Han Yue, and flattered him and said, "The Marquis asks you to get on the horse!"
Han Yue turned over, his eyes flashed with a flash, and he shouted, "Go!" He suddenly whipped the horse whip and drove the horse up. Unfortunately, it was not him who mastered the strong horse. This kid was just pretending, and the person riding the horse was Luo Jing'er. He just hugged the girl's waist and took a ride.
The horse gallops and dust is flying, like iron hooves, running all the way to Chang'an.
"This time I must let you all see. Although I am a farmer, I have a tiger in my heart..."
Whoever dares to provoke me will bite whoever I will!
