Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 668
The duty of the soldiers patrolling the city was to escort the three guards of King Wu's mansion into the county government office and put them in prison!
If the guards reveal their identities and say that they are from the Prince Wu's mansion, the patrolling soldiers will definitely make the matter trivial. They are all small soldiers, and they dare not offend the prince. Lord Inspector and King Wu went to say that they did not dare to interfere.

But these three guards are embarrassed to reveal their identities. The dignified guards of King Wu’s Mansion are all people who walk sideways in Chang’an. It’s too shameful because a dead dog is making noise with the chef in the Governor’s Mansion in the middle of the night. It's even more embarrassing when they fight together!
But when they found out that the soldiers patrolling the city dared to "do business in business" and put them in prison, the three of them regretted it again. If they knew this, they would just have to reveal their identities quietly. If there is any resentment, they will find an opportunity to take revenge in the future. Things can be a big mess, and riding a tiger is hard to get off.

Sitting in the prison, the leader of the guards said: "Don't wait for promotion, let's find the county magistrate quickly, tell the matter secretly, and understand it from there, but don't make any noise, it's a small matter for us to be ashamed, but if It would be ugly to involve the prince and hurt face!"

The two guards were also extremely regretful, saying that the small county soldiers in Gyeongju were too outrageous. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there had never been any small county soldiers who dared to arrest the guards of the palace, not to mention the poor and remote Qingzhou, not even Chang'an City. It is unimaginable that such a thing has happened!
The three of them yelled loudly in the prison, telling the head of the prison to come over, they want to have an interview with the county magistrate!
The prison boss was furious, and being set up in the middle of the night was enough to cause trouble, these guys are still so arrogant, it's unreasonable!
The prison chief ordered two of his subordinates to bring two large buckets of cold water over, and went outside the fence, and shouted: "You dare to make noise when you come here, you guys who pretend to be generals of the Weifu deserve to be in prison for the rest of your life. Come on, help me!" They are sober, let them understand, what is this place!"

The jailers had long been used to repairing the prisoners. With two bangs, they poured two large buckets of cold water on the three guards. There was no waste at all, and it chilled the three of them!
The three guards were furious, yelling, and had the idea of ​​rushing out to beat someone!
It's not surprising that the prison boss saw a lot, and he already had a way to deal with it. He pointed at the three of them, and said: "Is it not enough to be defeated? You three, add one piece, and if anyone dares to squeak again, the bucket will become a toilet. Come on, call out, just make a sound!"

This move was so effective that the three guards immediately stopped talking, closed their mouths, and dared not vent their anger. The hero does not suffer from immediate losses, and after he gets out, it will not be too late to settle accounts with the prison boss, and now there is no need for it!
The cell boss snorted, and said: "Be honest, the grandfather will interrogate you at dawn." He took the jailer away.

After Maoshi, the sky brightened, the three-way drum sounded, and Di Renjie was raised to question the case. Since this matter involved people in the governor's mansion, and according to Wang Ping'an's order issued some time ago, all cases must be heard in public. It is the common people's business to attend the hearing, but it is the local officials' business whether the trial is open or not.

Di Renjie was Wang Ping'an's most loyal supporter. Of course, he had to abide by this decree. After he was promoted, he opened the gate of the county government and let the people watch. He ordered the prisoner to be brought to court.

The guards were brought into the lobby, the three of them were drenched with water, they were still not dry at this time, and they were in a mess.When they came to the hall, they saw Di Renjie sitting in the hall. They knew him, and he was the leader of Xinke.But looking outside the hall, there were a dozen or so ordinary people standing sparsely. This is not embarrassment, but how embarrassing it is!
The leader of the guards is in a hurry. If there is any mistake, the trial will be judged. Why did the common people be brought into the Yamen? It is really strange that it happens every year, especially in Gyeongju!

The chefs from the Governor's Mansion had arrived long ago and knelt aside. Although they didn't want to make the matter worse, they could only be regarded as plaintiffs when the matter came to an end.The guards pushed the guards to the ground and knelt down for Di Renjie.

Others could not recognize who these guards were, but Di Renjie did. He was by Wang Ping'an's side when he came out of the city to welcome them. , but he knew it.

Di Renjie stood up from the chair, thinking: "This matter is not easy to deal with. How did King Wu's bodyguards be arrested? Those soldiers patrolling the city were also confused. Why did they arrest them without asking them clearly? Things can't be suppressed!"

But he wronged those patrolling soldiers, not because they didn't ask, but because the three guards refused to tell, so they were regarded as impersonators and arrested.

As soon as the head of the guards saw Di Renjie standing up, he knew he had been recognized, and he hurriedly said, "Master Di, why don't we talk in the back hall?"

Di Renjie hummed, and was about to agree, when he saw a few more people coming in outside, he sighed in his heart, usually there were few people to attend the trial, why there were more people today, if he retreated at this time, it would be even more difficult to handle, The common people will spread it indiscriminately, so it's better to save face!
He sat down, patted the gavel, and said, "Plaintiff, do you have a pleading paper?"

The chefs were also troubled, they just came out to beat a dog, it was not a big deal, but they got into court and couldn't go home to cook, I don't know how the housekeeper would scold them!

The fat man chef in the lead shook his head and said, "If you go back to the master, you guys don't have papers!"

Di Renjie slapped the gavel again, and waved his hand: "If there is no pleadings, what kind of lawsuits are there? Come on, take them down, and after the pleadings are written, and then file a lawsuit, take them all down. In the next case, bring the plaintiff and the defendant." !"

The guards stepped forward, mentioned the cook and the guards together, and asked, "Grandfather, should we let them go now, or should they be imprisoned?"

"They don't even have a pleading paper, so why are they in jail! Let them go to the backyard to write a pleading paper, don't delay the trial in this county, there are a lot of things to do today!" Di Renjie said.

The guards agreed and took the chef and guards to the backyard together.

At this time, some people came up to complain, and the plaintiff shouted: "The villain wants to sue the neighbor, he stole my eggs!"

But the defendant shouted: "Your chickens ran into my yard and laid eggs. Of course, the eggs belong to me. I didn't want your chickens!"

Di Renjie said: "Don't worry, take your time, this matter... you don't need paperwork!" The paper is not cheap either, the cost of writing paperwork is much more expensive than an egg!

Let’s say that the chef and guards were brought to the backyard, a clerk came over and said to the chef, “I’ll tell you how many people, what’s the matter? If it’s a trivial matter, forget it, why should I sue, and I’m going to make trouble for the county magistrate! "

The cooks felt aggrieved and said, "We never thought we could get it in the yamen. We've spent our whole life in the kitchen, and we've never been to the court!"

They told the general history of the matter, it was just that the governor wanted to eat dog meat, so they came out to beat the dog, they didn't have time during the day, so they came out at night, so they said it again.

The scribe wondered: "Master Inspector likes to eat dog meat? I've never heard of this, but his preference is also special. He really is a big shot!"

The fat man in the lead said: "No, my lord didn't like this before, but he suddenly wanted to eat it yesterday, and he was still waiting for the food to be ready outside, and said that he would eat it more often in the future."

The clerk said: "This matter is too small, at most it is a misunderstanding, let's forget it, okay?"

Of course the chefs agreed, and the scribes let them go, and they left naturally.

The scribe looked at the three guards and said, "You three, do you have anything to say?"

The leader of the guards immediately said: "Sir, in fact, your lord knows us, otherwise you have to interrogate us, right?"

The clerk smiled and said, "To be honest, I know you too. Of course you don't know me. I'm a low-level official, so I don't expect you to know me. Let's stop talking about it and just treat it as a misunderstanding, okay?"

As a small official, no one can afford to offend, and often encounter cases involving big shots, so the small official is very accurate in identifying people and has experience in dealing with such matters. It is nothing more than "a misunderstanding". Sorry, if there is a small misunderstanding... go home, wash and sleep!
The leader of the guards immediately said: "Thank you very much, we won't wait for Lord Di, let's go now!" The three left the county office immediately.

The clerk let out a hey, flicked his sleeves, and said, "It's all full!" Humming a little tune, he went to the main hall to reply to Di Renjie.

After Di Renjie finished handling the trivial matters of the people, he left the hall, and the clerk explained what happened just now.Di Renjie asked: "You handled it well, you didn't ask any more questions, did you?"

The clerk laughed and said, "Grandfather, this kind of thing is easy to understand, so it's impossible to ask more. It's just a brocade quilt covering the bed full of filth!"

After a pause, he said sincerely: "Grandfather, you and the governor are as close as brothers, and the governor is really doing practical things for us in Qingzhou. Seeing that the people are about to have a good life, King Wu has come. Who can bear to make a fuss just after arriving here? Otherwise, if you send more guards to patrol the city, in this way, things that might have been made a fuss will not be made a fuss."

Di Renjie snorted, and said: "That's right, let's take precautions before they happen. It's enough to seal the few streets that should be sealed. You can do it!"

The clerk agreed and went to find the county lieutenant. It is more difficult to send more county soldiers, but the servants can "walk around" and walk around the streets where King Wu lives. Don't move them, care and care about them to death!

Di Renjie left the county government office and rushed to the governor's mansion to see Wang Ping'an.

Governor's House.According to today's original itinerary, Prince Li Zhi should go to the surrounding area to inspect the water conservancy project and the water truck, so that he can write a memorial to Chang'an as soon as possible, telling his father how diligent he is and caring about state affairs.

But yesterday Li Zhi was too diligent with Wu Meiniang, so that today he couldn't be diligent about national affairs, and he slept until the sun was high, and he didn't get up.

The Gyeongju officials first dealt with their own affairs, and then gathered together in the main hall, drinking tea and chatting, waiting to accompany the prince out of the city for inspection, but they waited for the prince not to come, and waited for the right to still not come.

Above the main hall, there are praises and praises.The prince has not gotten up for a long time, what does this mean?This means that the prince has had a hard time traveling!Why is the prince so hard on the road?This shows that the prince cares about Gyeongju!The prince is really a good prince. It is really a blessing for the Tang Dynasty and a blessing for the people of the world to have such a diligent prince who works hard on state affairs!

Wang Pingan first went to urge Li Zhi, but Li Zhi refused to get up, and he had no choice but to go into the house to urge him, so he had to come to the front and praise the prince together with the officials.All the officials said that the prince has worked hard, so let him sleep for a while, don't bother him, and be considerate of the prince, if the prince is exhausted, what will happen to the Tang Dynasty, what will the people do, what will happen to Qingzhou, what will we do?
After praising for almost an hour, the officials' mouths were dry, but Li Zhi still didn't get up. Everyone really had no words, so they had to chat about the weather.

Di Renjie came to the main hall, pulled Wang Pingan aside, and talked about the case this morning in great detail.Wang Ping'an was not surprised when he heard this. He knew that Li Ke would not stop, but he didn't expect that he would be too impatient to send people around the governor's mansion on the first night.

Di Renjie said: "Brother, why do you suddenly like to eat dog meat, I've never seen you like this before!"

Wang Pingan smiled and said: "Brother, you don't know that dog meat is a tonic. Medicine is not as good as food tonic. Eating this is good for your health. Especially like I go out to supervise the project all day, if I am tired all day, if I don't eat some big meat , the body will not be able to bear it, it will be overworked, and you will get sick.” Of course, he would not say that Prince Li Zhi wanted to eat this, but that he liked it.

Di Renjie snorted, and said: "Well, why not get some dog meat for the working people, boil it into broth, and nourish the people's bodies, anyway, it doesn't cost much, and it can make the people work well. Strength, why not do it?"

Wang Pingan thought for a while. The chefs had a conflict with Li Ke's guards last night. This matter will definitely attract Li Ke's attention. Instead of letting him think about it, it is better to give the answer directly, so as to avoid any side effects and further troubles.

He said: "Alright, I will issue an order to buy dogs from various counties, and then make soup for the common people, which will greatly benefit the health of the common people!" After talking about the benefits of dog meat, the officials were asked to handle the matter well, and then issued official documents, asking all counties to be more active and buy more dogs to send to the construction site.

Of course, the officials strongly agreed. As the saying goes, dog meat is very cheap, and it is much cheaper to eat it for the common people than to eat sheep and pigs.

This is what the governor's mansion said, and Li Ke also said this.

The leader of the guards returned to the other courtyard in a state of embarrassment. After seeing Li Ke, he dared not say that he was useless. He was thrown into a prison and poured cold water. In order to conceal his incompetence, he looked surprised, as if he had made great contributions As if, he said to Li Ke: "My lord, my subordinates heard a big news and found Wang Ping'an's weakness!"

Li Ke was overjoyed, sat up from the bed, and asked, "Wang Ping'an has any weakness, but that woman? Tell me quickly."

The leader of the guards said: "Wang Ping'an likes to eat dog meat..."

Li Ke's elation immediately turned into fury. Although his body was weak, he still grabbed the pillow and threw it on the head of the guard leader. He shouted, "Fart, what kind of weakness is eating dog meat? You've lost your head!"
