Chapter 166
The Yamen of Shuntian Mansion was opened wide, and the hall was raised for interrogation.

The son of Han Ying, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, has a reputation for rampaging in the capital, but because his father is a cabinet scholar, those who are bullied by him in the imperial capital can only swallow his anger.

But today someone kicked the iron plate and sued him to Shuntian Mansion.

The common people almost came out in full force, gathered around the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion to listen to the trial.

Lu Ji sat in the high hall, with the magnificent picture of the sea of ​​clouds and blue sky behind him, and the servants on both sides beat the water and fire sticks loudly.

"mighty!"

After the yamen servant's call, no one knelt down.

Ning Yuezhao didn't want to reveal her identity here, so she coughed lightly and said, "I'm Song Yiyi, who came to the imperial capital to take the exam. According to Daxing's rules, those who have a reputation of being a scholar or above are exempted from kneeling in the courtroom."

Jiang Nian also bowed his hands and said, "I also came to the imperial capital to participate in the Enke Chunyu. My surname is Ming, and the single name is Han."

The corners of Lu Ji's eyes twitched at the two people's act of reporting false names, and he didn't get entangled in this matter, and turned to the rest of the people.

"Why don't you kneel!"

The little beggar had already been moved to the back hall to be treated by a doctor, Qingchi stood with his hands down, with a calm expression on his face.

"I'm Yan Qingchi."

There is no redundant explanation, just a few simple words, the name of Xie Yuan, who was named Qiuwei last year, was well-known in the imperial capital.

As for Han Xiao, needless to say, he was white.

"Your Majesty!"

Lu Ji slapped the gavel, and the yamen servant stepped forward and kicked Han Xiao's knee hard, forcing him to bend his knee, because his hands were broken, and he couldn't support the ground with his palms, so he was lying on the ground .

"Ouch!" Han Xiao yelled in pain, "You bitch, do you know my father..."

"Your father is a scholar of the Hall of Martial Arts, and you have said this countless times." Lu Ji interrupted him unceremoniously, "The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, let alone the son of a cabinet minister. Besides, Wen Hua The daughter of the Grand Master Dian didn't say anything, what are you shouting about!"

The current cabinet is still respected by Jiang Qixi, a scholar of the Zhongji Hall, and a scholar of the Wuying Hall may be able to fool the common people in the imperial capital, but no one in the hall is bigger than him.

With the support of the house slave, Han Xiao managed to kneel down a bit more normally, but he didn't realize that this dead girl was Yan Zhenglang's daughter, so he felt guilty right away.

Qingchi stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Lord Lu, when the girl passed by the market today, she happened to drop her purse, and it was the little beggar who picked it up and returned it to me. I wanted to reward him with some money, but this kid insisted on resigning." No, he bumped into Han Xiao while he was refusing. The son of the Han University scholar couldn't help but say that he wanted to beat someone. The girl couldn't see it, so she wanted to argue with him. He actually wanted to beat the girl together. If it wasn't for that The child held his leg for a while, and his whip was about to fall on the minnv."

Having said that, Qingchi paused, glanced at Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian, and saw them nodded slightly towards her.

She continued: "The son and wife passed by later, and their followers rescued the daughter and the little beggar."

Lu Ji nodded when he heard the words, "This little beggar is a simple-minded person, he is going to beg for a living, and he can still collect money without hesitation, it is not in vain for you to protect him like this."

It turns out that this is Yan Qingchi who was controversial in the ruling and opposition parties before. The clear and meaningful handwriting in the previous empress memorial book was actually written by her. The handwriting is really like her, beautiful but not lacking in wit.

Seeing that Lu Ji made it clear what Xin Qingchi said, Han Xiao immediately shouted: "That's not the case. It was obvious that this little beggar was trying to steal my son's purse. I found out, so I asked my family to teach him a few times. As for This woman, who came out of nowhere, insists on slandering me, it must be because my father and her father have different political views, and she deliberately seeks to harm me!"

"My father and your father have political disagreements? I don't even know you know?" Qingchi sneered and looked at Han Xiao, "I am a man of fame, and I can't talk about political affairs. Mr. Han, you are a commoner, how can you?" Can you know?"

Earlier, because of Qingchi writing the memorial for the sick empress, there was a lot of trouble in the court, and she even had to leave the palace to avoid suspicion.

Now that Han Xiao, a commoner, dares to say such a thing, it can be said that he is asking for a dead end.

"Unexpectedly, Han Ge would discuss political affairs with you at home. Isn't the matter decided by the cabinet just passed on?"

Han Xiao didn't expect that Qingchi would take him out of context like this, and he said angrily, "That's not what I meant!"

"What does that mean?" Qingchi looked at him with a half-smile.

Han Xiao was so angry that his teeth itched, "What you said is nothing at all!"

"What is nonsense?" Qingchi looked at him coolly.

"I don't know if my father and your father have any political disagreements. I was talking nonsense just now." Han Xiao almost gritted his teeth and said these words, "But everything else is the truth!"

Seeing Qingchi's sophistry, Lu Ji couldn't help smiling slightly.The trial of the case still needs to continue. He looked at Han Xiao, "You said that little beggar stole your purse, so where is your purse now?"

Han Xiao raised his head and said, "I found out, so I took it back."

"In that case, why didn't you report to the official?"

"My lord thinks it's a trivial matter, and it's fine to punish it lightly." Han Xiao looked like an adult.

"Will a slight punishment make someone unconscious?" Lu Ji's face darkened, and he slapped the gavel, "How dare you lie in the lobby!"

Han Xiao's neck twitched, "Master, she said that I hurt people wantonly, so can someone testify for her?"

He was used to running rampant in the imperial capital, and his power was so strong that the people dared not speak out, so he was very confident that no one would testify against him.

Sure enough, the people who were pointing outside were silent.

Qingchi turned around and looked at the people who were hearing the trial outside, "You all saw it just now, are you afraid to testify now because you are afraid that he is the son of a cabinet bachelor?"

If it wasn't for not wanting to blackmail his father, Qingchi was about to shout, my father is also a cabinet scholar, and his status is still higher than him!Moreover, the current emperor and imperial husband are here, why are you still hesitating?
The silence of the crowd made Han Xiao proud, "Look, there is no one to testify for you."

Lu Ji frowned, patted the gavel, "Shut up!"

Ning Yuezhao glanced at Jiang Nian, and Jiang Nian sighed inaudibly.

"What about the young master of the Martial Heroes Palace? What happened here tomorrow will be heard by Datian. I don't know if the position of the Grand Scholars has just been changed? Miss Yan was the Huiyuan of Qiuwei last year, and the companion of His Majesty the Emperor. , will enter the court as an official soon..."

In the crowd, I don't know who said such a sentence suddenly, the voice was not loud, but it was enough for the surrounding people to hear clearly in such a quiet situation.

"I would like to testify that what Miss Yan said is the truth!"

"I am also willing to testify!"

"This is not the only evil that Han Xiao has done! A few days ago, he took a fancy to my daughter and insisted on snatching her to be his concubine. My daughter refused to obey, so she hit the wall and committed suicide on the spot. My lord must decide for me. !"

Not only did some people stand up to testify, but an old man stumbled out from behind the wooden fence and knelt in the lobby to state his grievances.

"My lord, you have to be the master of the villain! This Mr. Han usually took everything he saw at my stall, and he never paid a penny."

"My lord, Mr. Han usually walks on the street. We have to avoid him when we see him all the way, otherwise his whip will come calling, and many people will suffer from it!"

After someone takes the lead, there will be more sufferers to sue.

Han Xiao didn't expect that so many people would come out to point out what he had done in the past, and now his father's life-saving card was no longer useful, and he sat slumped in the courtroom.

"Silence!" Lu Ji patted the gavel, "If you have any grievances to sue, please register with the document. After the integration, the official will make a decision together!"

"Thank you, Master Qingtian!"

When the common people saw that the young Fu Yin really wanted to stand up for them, they couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude, and couldn't stop praising Lu Ji.

Seeing the smiles on the people's faces, Lu Ji said slowly, "As long as I sit here in the Shuntian government office for a day, I will not allow bullying to happen. Those within the scope will definitely not shirk. Therefore, I hope that everyone will stop being indifferent to those who have been wronged in the future, and dare to stand up to help others as well as themselves."

Lu Ji said this sincerely, and the people who were silent just now were a little ashamed.

"My lord's lesson is that the grassroots should remember it."

Ning Yuezhao looked at Jiang Nian, lowered her voice and said, "Good writing."

No one else could hear the sound from the crowd just now, but she recognized that it was Jing Ming's voice.

Jiang Nian smiled at her, "It's just fueling the flames. It's not me who should be treated differently."

After finishing speaking, he took a meaningful look at Lu Ji who was sitting in the high hall, and Qingchi who was standing upright.

Ning Yuezhao followed his gaze, smiled without saying a word.

At this moment, a voice came from outside——

"Lord Lu is so powerful!"

Hearing this voice, Han Xiao, who was like a frosted eggplant, regained his energy immediately, and shouted outside: "Father, you are finally here, save the child!"

With a cold face, Han Ying stepped into the lobby of the Shuntian government office accompanied by her personal companions.

Lu Ji got up from his seat and walked down the hall. He cupped his hands at Hanying, "See Mr. Han."

Before the Han and Ying people arrived, the cold voice came first, "Master Lu is so majestic, I can't bear your courtesy."

Lu Ji straightened his body, "Since Mr. Han is the family member of the perpetrator, it is fine to attend the trial."

After finishing speaking, he returned to his seat in the high hall and sat upright.

Although Han Ying didn't do much in the cabinet, he was respected outside. Lu Ji didn't give him face like this, which made him angry, "I don't know what crime Mr. Lu wants to punish the child for?"

"Han Xiao beat others at will in the street. He has already violated Daxing's criminal law. He also pretended to be the son of a cabinet scholar and uttered lies, which insulted the reputation of the imperial court official. After the sufferer has finished expressing his grievances, they will be dealt with together."

Lu Ji patted the gavel, reached out and pulled out a red-headed lottery, and threw it on the ground, "Hit me!"

Han Ying almost passed away with anger, and then saw her son wrapped in white gauze, in a mess, and became even more anxious.

"Who dares to touch my son!"

Han Ying's followers immediately stood in front of Han Xiao, preventing the government servants from taking him.

Lu Ji frowned, "What does Master Han mean?"

Han Ying pointed at Lu Ji, "Lu Ji, Your Majesty Hong En, let you temporarily take the post of Governor of Shuntian Mansion, but now my son is also injured, why don't you pursue the person who hurt him, instead listen to the words of these unruly people and arrest him?" If you don't let go of his little mistakes, you are simply hateful!"

"Oh, I was the one who ordered someone to break Han Xiao's hands, how do you want to hold me accountable?"

A Qingyue female voice that sounded like a smile but not a smile faintly resounded in the lobby, and Han Ying noticed the people standing beside him, "You bastard, how dare you..."

When she saw the speaker's face clearly, Han Ying couldn't speak the second half of the sentence anymore, her body instinctively weakened her legs, and she collapsed to her knees.
