Chapter 502 Complaint
"My lord, I am wronged, my lord!"

The woman reached for the drumstick next to the Mingyuan drum, but was stopped by the guards at the gate of the yamen.

"what are you doing?"

"I have a grievance!"

The guard stared at her viciously, and said, "If you have any grievances, just say so. I'll let you know. Are you able to beat this drum?"

The woman nodded: "Okay, let me say!"

The guard looked at her impatiently, and asked, "Who is your last name, where do you live, and what is wrong with you?"

"Sun Rulan, a daughter of the people, lives in Jiangning County, Yingtian Prefecture, sue Liu Sanjiang!"

"Liu Sanjiang?"

The officer looked incredible, and said: "You can think about it, Mr. Liu is the left servant of the Nanjing official department, and you dare to sue such a person?"

"tell!"

Sun Rulan's tone was firm, and her eyes were full of anger.

The officer shook his head helplessly, and said: "According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, if the people sue the officials, no matter whether it is right or wrong, the [-] boards will be hit first. You are lucky today. Mr. Yuan who came from the capital has the imperial decree. From then on, the people Suing the officer will no longer hit the board, but if it turns out to be a false accusation after the fact, it should be punished as a crime, you can think about it!"

Sun Rulan nodded and said, "Think it over, I'll sue!"

"Okay, you wait!"

The officer had no choice but to report the incident.

Jia Kun, the magistrate of Yingtian, was worried about the first and second elders. When he heard that someone came to sue, he still sued the local master Liu, and he was even more angry.

"What kind of chaos is being added at this juncture, get rid of people quickly!"

"But...the villain tried to persuade her, but she didn't listen!"

Jia Kun's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "She won't listen to persuasion, you won't think of a way? Raising you all for nothing?"

"This... is indeed..."

"I remember!"

Jia Kun's expression changed suddenly, and he said, "There was a murder case last month, do you still remember?"

"The murder case...is the old grandson who sells tofu?"

Jia Kun didn't speak, but he was thinking in his heart. Liu Fu, the housekeeper of Liu Sanjiang, once approached him, saying that the old grandson who sold tofu on the street fell into the well and drowned due to alcoholism.

He also said that Mr. Liu often bought Lao Suntou's tofu, and seeing how pitiful he was, he was willing to pay for him to be buried.

Last but not least, the old grandson once borrowed a sum of money from the Liu family, but now that he is dead, the money cannot be repaid, so the debt can only fall on his daughter.

What Jia Kun heard at the time was at a loss. What do you say to me, a magistrate, about such trivial farts?

Now I suddenly remembered, this Sun Rulan should be the old grandson's daughter, right?
If this is the case, what Liu Fu said, and the money given... Could it be that the death of the old grandson was not an accident?
Too bad, the money has already been collected, which means that he can't get away.

"Go to that Sun Rulan right away, and no matter what method you use, tell her that you can't sue her!"

"Ah? This...that..."

"What does she want, money? Let her say the number, no matter how much, I will agree!"

"This...isn't it right?"

"Just do as Master Ben said, go!"

"Yes……"

The guard took two steps, then turned around and said, "What if she doesn't want money?"

"Give her what she wants, as long as she keeps her mouth shut!"

"But, if she insists on suing Master Liu..."

Jia Kun's expression turned cold, and he said, "Then let her shut up forever!"

Normally, this kind of thing would be settled casually.

It's just a joke, the common people want to sue the officials, why?
However, things are different now.

Yuan Bin, the commander of Jinyiwei, came with the imperial decree. When he first arrived in Nanjing, he arrested a dozen of them, all of whom were local gentry and prosperous, which made him faintly feel that something was wrong.

At this juncture, nothing can go wrong.

"master……"

The guard left and returned, Jia Kun said angrily, "Why are you back again?"

"Prefect Jia, please stay safe!"

Jia Kun looked at the person coming, the anger on his face dissipated instantly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he said, "Commander Yuan, why are you here?"

Yuan Bin sat down carelessly, and said, "The commander of the case needs to transfer several files, so I'm here to bother you."

"Commander Yuan is really polite. Send someone to inform you about this kind of thing, and the officer will send it to you immediately!"

"That's not necessary!"

Yuan Bin waved his hand and suddenly asked, "What happened to that woman outside the government office?"

"What... what woman?"

Jia Kun didn't know how to answer, so he pretended not to know.

"It turns out that Prefect Jia didn't know about it!"

Yuan Bin nodded, and said with a smile: "The commander thought that someone was openly disobeying the order and disrespecting, and wanted to shut out the person who complained!"

"how is this possible?"

Jia Kun's face was terrified, and he hurriedly said: "Who is that, there is a complaint outside the door, why don't you report it? Hurry up and get ready, the government will go to the court to ask the case!"

"Oh, oh...yes!"

The officer understood and hurried down to make arrangements.

Jia Kun turned his head, smiled all over his face, and said, "Commander Yuan, please come back first. After the case is finished, I will send someone to send the file over!"

Yuan Bin also smiled lightly, and said: "It's a coincidence that it's not too early. Since the commander is here, I can see how Jia Zhifu handles cases!"

Jia Kun's expression changed again, and he hurriedly said, "Commander Yuan laughed. If it comes to investigating cases, how can the lower officials compare to Jin Yiwei?"

"Prefect Jia should stop being modest. When the commander left Beijing, the emperor specially ordered that when we arrive in Yingtian, we must learn from Prefect Jia humbly!"

"The lower officials are terrified, ashamed and dare not be!"

Yuan Bin moved out of the emperor, and Jia Kun dared to shirk, so he had to bite the bullet and agree.

Above the lobby, three classes of yamen servants lined up on the left and right holding water and fire sticks, shouting mighty in unison.

The magistrate Jia Kun sat in front of the hall, slapped the gavel, his face was calm and prestige.

"Whoever complains, bring it to the court!"

Immediately afterwards, Sun Rulan, the sufferer, walked into the lobby under the leadership of the yamen servants, and knelt down on the ground.

"The daughter of the people, Sun Rulan, was wronged!"

From the corner of Jia Kun's eyes, he glanced at Yuan Bin beside him, and then asked, "Where does the injustice come from?"

Sun Rulan raised her head, with tears in the corners of her eyes, she couldn't help crying: "The daughter of the people sued Liu Sanjiang for murdering my father's life, please be the master!"

Jia Kun had expected this situation a long time ago, and thought to himself, I'll be your boss!
Although Liu Sanjiang has already become a scholar, the foundation of the imperial court is still there. With just a flick of a finger, I, the magistrate, will lose my black hat.

Snapped!
The gavel sounded again, and Jia Kun said in a deep voice: "Sun Rulan, daughter of the people, the person you are accusing is an official of the imperial court. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, if it is found out afterwards that the accusation was false, it will not only be a crime of sitting on the back seat, but also an additional crime." Wait, at least you will be sentenced to exile, I advise you to think clearly before answering!"
