Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 241 Your Highness, I Wait For Injustice

"You can find out, when did these pleadings and bloody documents appear in the main hall of my envoy?"

The envoy Lu Xiang asked coldly to the officials below with a gloomy face.

"Reporting to Lu Lian's visit, when the officials and others came in, these pleadings and bloody documents arrived at the main hall of the yamen of my procuratorial envoy!"

"Back to Lu Lianfang, the villain and others didn't hear any noise last night!"

Below, a group of inspectors and officials hurriedly replied.

"What a group of thieves, what courage!"

Lu Xiang was furious.

"Lu Lianfang, these pleadings and bloody documents are obviously aimed at His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness King Yan, what shall we do?"

an official asked cautiously.

Lu Xiang took a deep look at the official, and then said: "As the procurator, we are in charge of the judiciary. The Prime Minister's Beiping Mansion is in charge of the punishment of all officials in the Beiping Mansion.

No matter who it is directed at, as long as these pleadings are shown to me, we must fulfill our duties and do our best to find out the matter, and we must not let the emperor down! "

"Yes!"

All the officials of the Procuratorate responded in unison.

Lu Xiang asked: "Can you read these pleadings?"

A group of officials responded again: "Look!"

Lu Xiang said: "So, take these pleadings and bloody documents, and let me check them out!"

"Yes!"

A group of officials responded quickly.

However, before these officials went out, a soldier came in from outside.

"The villain has met Lu Lianfang and all the superiors!"

"What's the matter?" Lu Xiang asked.

"His Royal Highness has an order to summon all the superiors to Yan Palace!"

"His Royal Highness is calling?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiang's expression froze.

"You go down, I know!"

"Yes!"

When the soldier went down, all the officials in the Inspectorate looked at Lu Xiang eagerly.

Lu Xiang pondered for a moment, then said: "His Royal Highness calls, and we, as subjects, dare not refuse.

As for the matter of the blood letter and pleadings, let's put it aside for now, and follow this official to the Yan Palace to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! "

"Yes!"

……

at the same time.

The chief envoy, the commander of the capital, and all the officials in the Yamen of Beiping Mansion also received orders to go to Yanwang Mansion.

Wait until they have just walked outside Yanwang Palace.

Outside Yanwang Palace, there was a burst of crying and shouting.

"Injustice!"

"His Royal Highness, I am waiting for injustice..."

"His Royal Highness, please open your eyes and save me..."

A few gray-haired old men knelt outside Yanwang Palace, screaming for grievances with miserable faces, and there were several sheets of grievances written in blood beside them.

As for the head, there is also a copy of "Da Gao".

Zhong Xiang, Nie Zishi, Zhou Xing and other officials couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.

So cruel!

What a guts!
As for Beiping prefect Yu Rentian, fellow prefect Zhao Jie, Tongpan Dangfu and others, their complexions changed drastically, and they even turned slightly pale.

A group of guards guarding the gate of King Yan's Palace reacted when these old men shouted, walked down quickly, and yelled at those old men.

"Where did you all come from? Why are you shouting for grievances outside Yan Palace?"

"Military masters, I am wronged, little old man!"

"Exactly, the little old man wants to ask to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, to give the little old man justice!"

"His Royal Highness, I am waiting for injustice..."

Saying that, the group of old men started shouting again.

The soldiers of King Yan's Mansion glanced at the officials of Beiping Mansion who had already walked over, and said impatiently: "Don't shout, I will report this matter to His Highness."

"Thank you, military master!"

A few old men bowed their heads in gratitude.

Following the soldier's entry, Zhou Xing, Nie Zishi and others also walked over slowly.

Hand over invitations to those Yan Palace guards.

Regarding this, the guards of King Yan's Mansion soon led Zhou Xing, Nie Zishi and other officials of Beiping Mansion into it.

……

"Brother, just take care of yourself, the current Beiping Mansion is in great order... Within a year, there will not be two cases of injustice..."

"There will be no such thing as officials and dignitaries oppressing the common people..."

Zhu Di and Zhu Biao were chatting vigorously when they saw Li Wang walking in with a gloomy expression.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Di asked.

Li Wang said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, a few old men suddenly ran out of the palace, holding blood books, shouting for grievances, demanding that His Highness the Crown Prince give them justice!"

"Ok?"

Zhu Di's face immediately darkened.

"Why do those old men cry for injustice?"

Hearing this, Zhu Biao also looked at Li Wang curiously.

Li Wangdao: "Report to Your Highness, the end will not be known!
However, when those old men cried out for their grievances, they had the "Da Gao" on their heads.

What's more, the chief envoy, the inspector, the commander, and all the officials from the Yamen of Beiping Prefecture all happened to be outside the palace! "

"Well, I didn't expect that now that our Beiping Mansion is so well-regulated, there will be unjust cases that have been missed!"

Zhu Di said angrily, "Hurry up and bring those old men in."

"Here!"

Li Wang responded and walked out with a solemn face.

Below, Guo An's eyelids trembled, feeling something was wrong.

However, I can't tell what's wrong.

In less than a while.

Nie Zishi, Zhou Xing, Lu Xiang and the others walked in from outside the hall, leading all the officials of the Peking Mansion, large and small.

"Nie Zishi, the minister of Beiping!"

"The commander of the humble minister Beiping is Zhou Xing!"

"My minister, Beiping, is the envoy Lu Xiang!"

……

"See Your Highness the Crown Prince, See Your Highness King Yan!"

"Get up, everyone!"

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

Immediately, Nie Zishi, Zhou Xing, Lu Xiang and the others sat down accordingly.

When everyone sat down, Zhu Di and Zhu Biao didn't speak, but looked quietly outside the hall.

Seeing this, Nie Zishi, Zhou Xing and the others couldn't help but think of those old men who called for injustice they met outside the palace, and they couldn't help feeling a bad premonition in their hearts.

Could it be that those old men were arranged by King Yan?

Among them, is there anyone who is greedy for ink?
However, only Lu Xiang and other officials from the Procuratorate are at ease, and there is a good show to watch!

After a while.

Li Wang led a group of old men who were crying for grievances outside the palace, and walked in from outside the palace tremblingly.

"His Royal Highness, the old men who cried out for grievances outside the palace have all been brought in!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

"Cao Min kowtows to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Those old men looked at Zhu Biao and Zhu Di above, and suddenly knelt on the ground with excited faces, kowtowing repeatedly.

"Ok?"

Zhu Di's face darkened.

Similarly, everyone in the hall couldn't help but change slightly.

These few old men who shouted grievances outside the palace of King Yan only kowtowed to the crown prince instead of worshiping King Yan. This was obviously aimed at King Yan Zhu Di.

"Fourth, don't be angry!"

Above, Zhu Biao reached out to stop the furious Zhu Di, and then looked at the old men.

"Okay, okay, all elders don't kowtow. This palace is the current crown prince Zhu Biao. Are you all here to find this palace?"

"Are you really His Royal Highness?"

An old man looked at Zhu Biao and asked expectantly.

Zhu Biao said gently: "In front of all the officials of the Beiping Mansion, no one dares to pretend to be the crown prince!"

Hearing this, all the elders suddenly became excited.

"His Royal Highness, I have been wronged!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness, I have no way out, I am wronged..."

Zhu Biao said: "If you have any grievances, please speak slowly and don't worry. Since I have come to Beiping Mansion, I will definitely uphold justice for you!"

Down below, a few old men carefully glanced at Zhu Di beside Zhu Biao, gritted their teeth, and looked at death as if at home.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

"His Royal Highness, I am here to sue His Royal Highness King Yan!"

"Exactly, His Royal Highness, I will sue His Royal Highness King Yan..."

"We know that suing His Highness King Yan is a capital crime, but if we don't sue, our family will be ruined, our wife and children will be separated, and there will be no way out!"

"Sue King Yan?"

Above, Zhu Biao's expression became solemn.

And Zhu Di was furious.

"You old thief, how dare you insult me ​​like this?"

To be blocked at the door by a group of old thieves, calling for grievances, and to sue the prince in front of all the officials in the Beiping Mansion, this is a great shame for him!
The most important thing is that this old thief was brought in from outside the palace by Zhu Di.

Below, a group of old men were directly startled by Zhu Di.

Zhu Biao glared at Zhu Di, "Be safe and don't be impatient, let's talk about the matter after asking."

With a sullen face, Zhu Di nodded and said, "Yes, brother!"

Zhu Biao looked at the elders below, "Don't worry, everyone, although King Yan is my Prince of Ming Dynasty, you are also our people. As long as King Yan really made a mistake, this palace will definitely uphold justice for you and protect your safety."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

A group of old men kowtowed again and again.

Zhu Biao said: "Okay, okay, if you have any grievances, please talk about it!"

"His Royal Highness, the little old man was originally from the Zhongjia Village in Tongzhou. There was a son named Zhong Dalang in the family, and he married Dalang a daughter-in-law. Although his life was poor, he lived a happy life.

When His Royal Highness King Yan built the Zhangjiawan Wharf, Da Lang went to work as a laborer at the Zhangjiawan Wharf...

At the beginning, His Royal Highness the King of Yan promised that all laborers would not only be provided with two meals a day, but also be paid [-] Wen per day. This is definitely a great thing for my poor people...

Therefore, Da Lang left his family’s field and went to work as a laborer... It’s impossible to imagine that Da Lang worked hard for half a month, but he didn’t earn a penny. The two meals a day were porridge, and it was a bit difficult to fill his stomach. After a few days, he lost a few catties...

For the sake of wages, Da Lang endured it...

However, after the construction of the pier was completed, His Royal Highness King Yan still refused to pay the wages!
And the little old man’s family could no longer open the pot. After being hungry for a few days, Da Lang was finally overwhelmed and went to the dock again, wanting to ask for wages...

However, after this trip, Da Lang never came back, and was wronged by the steward of the dock as a thief, and was sent to the mines under the Yan Wang Mansion, where he dug mines every day and night for two full years, and finally Da Lang was exhausted to death..."

"His Royal Highness, the little old man is wronged!"

Hearing this, Zhu Biao's expression sank immediately, he glanced at Zhu Di at the side, and continued to look at the old men below.

"Where are you guys? What's wrong with you?"

And those old men seem to have thrown themselves out.

"Your Highness, I am even more wronged. At the beginning, His Royal Highness King Yan wanted to build the Zhangjiawan Wharf and expropriate the fields around the wharf. He agreed that every mu of fertile land would be compensated with money. The old man could only reluctantly give up the few mu of living land at home...

Afterwards, the Zhangjiawan Wharf was built...but the old man not only lost his land, but also didn't get any money...the husband and son at home were also beaten to death because they went to ask for money..."

"His Royal Highness, the little old man was sent to confiscate the boat by His Royal Highness King Yan because he was taking a boat at the pier..."
