Jinyi Music

Chapter 17

As long as the whole court is an official, no matter how big or small, when it comes to Jinyiwei, his heart trembles for a while. Although this case is just a matter of children fighting, it is still the son of the Mou family. It is said that he is still favored. Not good, let Mou Bin bear a grudge, and look for opportunities to wear small shoes for himself in the future, wouldn't it be impossible to find a place to cry?
But the first rank of the official is crushing people, how dare he disobey the order of the superior, but he has no choice but to bite the bullet and come out. Before Liu Chang came out, he called the team leader for questioning, and he knew the matter in his heart. But they still had to follow the rules. The yamen servants were divided into two shifts and shouted for authority. It is said that all the people were white and should kneel, but the judge did not dare to let Mou Biao kneel down and speak. After the yamen servants called Tang Wei, they said kindly to everyone,

"Today is just a trivial matter. I see that you are young and there are women and children in the hall, so let's all stand up and answer!"

Seeing this, everyone thanked the Lord for his kindness in unison, and Liu Tongpan pretended to ask the identities of the two parties involved in the incident. Seeing this posture, Na Yunliang knew that today's matter might encounter difficulties, so he didn't dare to be arrogant again. , just practice etiquette honestly,

"My lord, Xiaomin is the second son of the Zhou family in Yanghua Hutong...Zhou Yunliang"

When it was Mou Biao's turn to report on his family, he followed Zhou Yunliang's report,

"My lord, I am the eighth son of the Mou family in Bajiaoxiang... Mou Biao!"

"Ok!"

Liu Tong judge nodded, and asked the two of them,
"Why did you fight...uh...fight..."

Liu Tongpan didn't want to mention the word "fighting", he only said "fighting" but he wanted to make a big problem into a small one, and Zhou Yunliang changed his words at this time,

"My lord, Xiaomin stuttered noodles in Yanghua Hutong, and got into an argument with the stall owner, mother and daughter, and was arguing. I think this young master misunderstood, and he came up and beat Xiaomin without asking indiscriminately!"

Liu Tongpan turned his head to look at Mou Biao,

"Mu...Young Master, but how?"

Mou Biao shook his head and said,
"My lord, Zhou Yunliang didn't get into an argument with the stall owner's mother and daughter this week, but molested a woman from a good family. I couldn't see it, so I went up and made a move..."

After a pause, the bachelor admitted,

"My lord, it was I who moved first!"

Liu Tongpan hummed, and then asked the witness Jia Silian,
"What is your name... where do you live... and how did you see the two... er... fighting?"

Even though it was the first time for Jia Silian to meet an official in this life, she was young but quite courageous, kneeling there, she spoke in an orderly and clear manner,

"My lord, the daughter of the people is Jia Jincheng's fourth daughter, Jia Silian, who is the commander of Wucheng soldiers and horses. She lives in Yanghua Hutong, and she and her mother and daughter of the Sun family sell noodles at the entrance of Yanghua Hutong. Today, Mr. Zhou led four The evil servant has arrived at the noodle stall of the Sun family..."

She told the story again, and Liu Tongjuan nodded, and then asked the mother and daughter of the Sun family,
"This week Yunlang...has he ever teased you?"

"My lord... this... this..."

The mother and daughter of the Sun family had never seen such a scene before. They knelt on the spot and faltered for a while, not daring to say yes or no. Then Liu Tongpan was a little annoyed when he saw this, he slapped the gavel and shouted,

"You mother and daughter, neither stupid nor stupid, not deaf and dumb, have you molested you? If you can't explain clearly, I will order someone to slap your mouth. After twenty mouths, you can make it clear. I understand!"

The mother and daughter of the Sun family were shocked when they heard the words, and the daughter of the Sun family burst into tears again, crying and unable to speak, but the widow Sun had no choice but to say,
"My... my lord, it is... indeed molesting... molesting!"

Liu Tongjuan nodded in satisfaction when he heard the words, and thought to himself,

"Fortunately, the mother and daughter nodded their heads. If they don't admit the matter, the young master of the Mou family will be at odds, and I will be embarrassed!"

Now tell everyone,
"This matter is already clear to me. It was started by Guan Yunliang molesting women in the street, and Mou Biao did it bravely..."

He also pointed out that the mother and daughter of the Sun family treated Guan Yunliang well,

"You injured someone's noodle stall in the fight, damaged tables and stools, etc., and you are sentenced to pay five taels of silver to the Sun family's mother and daughter... Can you accept the punishment?"

Hearing that the sentence was so light, Zhou Yunliang naturally nodded repeatedly.
"My lord, Xiaomin accept the punishment!"

Liu Tongjuan asked Mou Biao again,
"Young Master Mou is injured. If he is injured, he should ask Zhou Yunliang to pay for the soup and medicine!"

Mou Biao shook his head and said,
"Never injured..."

The judge secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said,
"That's it, this case is over!"

The yamen always accepted offerings from the Zhou family, and the disturbance was too much to explain. Fortunately, the young master was not injured, so the matter should be exposed.

But who knows, Mou Biao sneered and said,

"My lord, according to the Daqing Law, those who molest women from good families in the street will be given a staff of twenty and fined a hundred taels of silver. How did you get it here with your lord? Only five taels of silver is enough!"

As if he was a ten-year-old child!
Although he has forgotten all the books he learned before, he can still remember some of the regulations in the Daqing Law.

Liu Tongpan's face froze when he heard this, and he sighed inwardly.
"Sure enough, he is the son of Jin Yiwei's family. How could he know the law of Daqing at such a young age?"

Thinking of this, he pulled out a forced smile,

"Young Master Mou, you really know everything well..."

But Mou Biao was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, pointing to Guan Yunliang and a few evil slaves who had changed their expressions, and said,
"My lord, please act according to the law!"

Liu Tong had no choice but to give Guan Gongzi a look of helplessness, then his face became solemn and he shouted,
"Come on!"

The yamen servants on both sides responded,
"Yes, my lord!"

Someone from this room came over, pressed the five people on the ground, took off their trousers, and exposed their white buttocks. The mother and daughter of the Sun family turned their faces away when they saw it, but Jia Silian didn't even blink her eyes. A few strong men in the front were still showing off their power, and the vicious strong men screamed and screamed after being beaten. They felt very happy in their hearts, and turned their heads to look at Mou Biao who was standing beside him.
"Fortunately, he's here, if not... even if I meet a government servant patrolling the street, I'm afraid it will only be able to relieve the siege of the Sun family's mother and daughter for a while..."

The yamen guards patrolling the streets can only scare people away once, so what about the second or third time, I am afraid that the Sun family's mother and daughter will no longer be able to sell noodles at the entrance of the alley, and now this matter has passed the court, the Guan family Evil Younger was slapped again and fined money. I think he will be frightened and will never come again, right?

Jia Silian was born ordinary, but her dark eyes seemed to be able to reflect all the thoughts in her heart. Mou Biao met her eyes, as if he understood, and nodded at her. Giving her a reassuring look, Jia Silian couldn't help being overjoyed when she saw this, and smiled back at him.

That's it for this case. The evil young man and the evil servant of the Guan family were beaten up and fined a hundred taels of silver. Silver, mentioned ten taels of silver.

Seeing this, Mou Biao was still a little dissatisfied. He was fighting again, but was stopped by Liu Song. The old manager persuaded him,
"Young master, let's just expose this matter, don't make trouble anymore, the master is still waiting for you to go back!"

When Mou Biao saw the expressions of the mother and daughter of the Sun family, he sighed inwardly.
"Forget it, they are just ordinary people. If I do too much, there is no guarantee that the surname Zhou will not retaliate afterwards, but will harm them instead!"

Having no choice but to give up, the Sun family's mother and daughter took the ten taels of silver tremblingly, and left the yamen together with Jia Silian, watching the Mou family's ox cart leave in front of the gate.

Only then did they walk slowly away from the yamen, the mother and daughter of the Sun family breathed a sigh of relief, they patted their chests to comfort the frightened little ones, and the expressions on their faces eased.
"Si girl, thanks to you, if it weren't for you, Auntie and Qianniang don't know what would have happened!"

The widow of the Sun family took Jia Silian's hand to thank her, Jia Silian laughed, her little face was flushed,
"Auntie, you don't have to thank me. They are all neighbors. I will help you if you are in trouble!"

The widow of the Sun family sighed again and again,

"Good boy... how many men don't have the guts of you!"

The three of them walked together to Yanghua Hutong, the widow of the Sun family suddenly saw a money shop nearby, and hurriedly grabbed her hand,

"Si girl, just wait for me!"

Leaving her daughter and Jia Silian standing by the side of the road to wait, she went into the money shop with the ten taels of silver in her pocket. Sun Qianniang seemed to have recovered from a catastrophe at this time, she blinked her red and swollen eyes, remembering Ask Jia Silian,
"Silian, do you know Mr. Mou who is upholding justice for us?"

Jia Silian thought for a while and shook her head,

"I don't know anyone, I only met on the street..."

Although she met him three times, she didn't know his surname is Mou until now.

Sun Jiaqianniang couldn't help sighing when she heard the words,

"That Mr. Mou is really warm-hearted. If there is no him today, my mother and I are afraid..."

Speaking of this, the eye circles turned red again, Jia Silian saw that she was about to cry again, so she quickly persuaded her,
"Even if the matter is over, don't think about it anymore, it's better to sell noodles in the future!"

"Ok!"

Sun Qianniang nodded, and the widow of the Sun family came out after a while, but put two ingots of broken silver into Jia Silian's hands,
"Fourth girl, take it!"

Jia Silian hastily declined and said,
"How does this make it!"

The widow of the Sun family held her hand tightly, sighed and said,
"Auntie thanked you for today's matter, you are a good boy, only your mother..."

Speaking of Xiang's family, the three of them had tacit understanding on their faces,
"This money is for you to take back to your mother. You must have delayed the business in order to help us today. You take it back and give it to her. I hope she will see it for the money and don't beat you!"

"That...that doesn't need so much, I just need a small ingot to make it..."

"You take it, give your mother one ingot, and keep the other for yourself. This is what Auntie thanked you for. In the future, you can buy a snack or a piece of flowered cloth!"

The widow of the Sun family sometimes looks at the daughters of the Jia family with pity. Although their lives are not easy, she loves Qianniang like a treasure. To her daughters, she beat or scolded her, and she was more ruthless than her stepmother!
