The Four Great Cases of Wu Zetian

Chapter 37

All the slaves try to rob people by force, patrolling and arresting people
But Zhou Buxing saw his elder brother being paraded through the streets by the court guards, and threatened the police with a few words. Those people saw that he was relying on Zhang Changzong's power, how could they allow him to be unrestrained.Seeing that the crowd did not let go, Zhou Buxing was anxious and became angry for a moment. He stepped forward and scolded: "You bastards, sent by the governor, who are you here to scare? Grandpa is still Zhang Liulang's housekeeper!

If you can beat my brother, I can beat you. "Running to the front, he slapped the team carrying the basket, grabbed the tissue paper flag in his hand with his left hand, threw it on the ground, and kicked it in disorder. He shouted: "You are a fool, you don't want your life, this flag is the prisoner's confession, it has Master Di's seal on it, and a notice on your hand, you dare to come and tear it up!Who are you scaring Zhang Changzong with? Many people came up and beat him for a while, pulling his braids, and wanted to take him back. Zhou Buxing was still young and didn't know the laws of the country. Picked up the paper flags on the ground and tore them to pieces. Many family members inside, who didn't come to ask questions, rushed out to persuade Zhou Buxing when he saw that the incident had happened. A few good people helped him to fight, and dragged a policeman in the door. Zhang Changzong was waiting for a reply in the hall. He didn't know what was going on outside, but the old man who was watching the door called in and said, "It's not good, this Things are getting bigger!Please go out and suppress Liulang quickly.This governor is extraordinary! "

Seeing that he was so flustered, Zhang Changzong hurriedly said: "What is the matter with you, who is making noise outside?" The man said: "It's not because of the villain who is flustered, it's because Zhou Bucheng and Zeng Youcai snatched the women from the people while he was in Qinghe County. He played for Di Renjie and brought them back to the case for interrogation. Who knows that he recorded the two people's backgrounds, why they were officials, and what they said they broke the law in office, and wrote them on a paper flag. Parade the gong to tell the public. There was a lot of noise outside. It was the governor’s servant who escorted two people here. Because Zhou Bucheng was at our door, the words above concerned the owner’s dignity. However, when Zhou Buxing went out, he saw that his brother was at the mercy of the crowd, and wanted to make them let go, so he quarreled with each other, slapped the team, and tore off the flag. Many people grabbed him together and wanted to take him to the court. Go. I think other people will be the governor. No matter how much they argue, there will be no problem. This Di is a big hindrance. Although we rely on Liulang's power, there is a national law after all. Why should we argue with him because of this matter? Comparing? Even if you ask Empress Wu for help, this case is handled according to the order. How can you beat his guards after listening to him? Moreover, there is a seal on the flag, so how can it be destroyed at this time? So please hurry up and deal with it. Press it down at the door, lest Di Renjie know the best."

After Zhang Changzong heard this, before he could speak, there was a naughty boy next to him. Hearing that Zhou Puxing was being beaten, he said angrily: "You are so cowardly and stupid! Although Di Renjie is the governor, he is no better than my Liulang. Favored in the palace. Zhou Bucheng was recommended by Liulang to be an official. Now he writes this detail on the flag and beats gongs all over the street to show the public. Where is this face? Wouldn't it be ridiculed by the common people. After some contesting, do you still have the face to go out? No matter who you are, everyone will come to humiliate you." Zhang Changzong couldn't help being angry after being bitten by this man for a while, and cursed loudly: "This group of dogs dare to pretend to be powerful. Noisy before! Although Di Renjie is the governor, he can do nothing to me? The day before yesterday, he participated in the performance in front of the Queen Mother for no reason. This hatred has not been eliminated, and now he is so presumptuous!"

Immediately he got up and hurried to the door, but he saw Zhou Buxing sleeping on the ground, although he was yelling and cursing, he was beaten up by the court servants and was about to drag him away.Seeing Zhang Changzong coming out, Zhou Bucheng hurriedly shouted in the basket, "Liulang, save me quickly, the villain is in great pain!" Zhang Changzong looked outside again, and saw his legs were dripping with blood, see you soon He couldn't bear to look at him, and shouted to the crowd: "You bastards, who ordered you to come here and make trouble in front of this gate! This man is my housekeeper, and even though he is dismissed, he can't use torture to humiliate others! You and others Put it down here, and everything will be over, if you take Di Renjie as your excuse again, I will send you to the dog's life in the early morning of the first month." He ordered everyone to help Zhou Buxing up, and then came to drag Zeng Youcai, intending to kill him both People stop him, and tomorrow he will go to court with the Queen Mother and ask for a decree of amnesty, and nothing will happen.At this time, when the patrolling officers and court officials saw Zhang Changzong coming out, because he was the lucky minister of Empress Wu, they didn't dare to stop him very much, so they had to step forward and say, "Please calm down, Liu Langquan. You know we are also sent by the destiny. Liu Lang wants to take these two people. It's best to go to the yamen to intercede with Lord Di. At that time, we looked at each other. With Liu Lang's power, there was no reason why we should not be allowed. At this time, we stopped halfway, although Liu Lang was not afraid, it made us suffer." Zhou Bucheng saw the inspector. Changing his tone, he blindly asked Zhang Changzong about his emotional intelligence, knowing that he was afraid of his power, and immediately said: "Liu Lang, don't believe his deception, if you bring him into the yamen, the villain will die. Although he was sent by fate, why is he on the street?" Hearing this, Zhang Changzong said to the crowd: "You break up this group of dog heads, no matter what he sends, I want to stay!" With this order, many family members who were like wolves like tigers, Then he came to compete with the hospital.

They were about to fight each other, but Di Gong had expected it for a long time. Knowing that Zhou Bucheng had arrived at the gate of Zhang's house, he wanted to ask for help. Fearing that he would be outnumbered, he secretly ordered Ma Rong and Mrs. Qiao to come to him from a distance. , rushed to the front, separated the crowd, went inside and shouted: "This is an imperial prisoner who obeyed the order of the governor. He paraded through the streets to show the public. Who are you, dare to rob in the middle of the road? I am the personal follower of Lord Di. What Ma Rongqiao said is that, it seems that there is no law, so the Wang Ming flag is useless? Hurry up and hand over the one who tore the flag!" Zhang Changzong didn't know what was going on, but when he saw Ma Rong coming up suddenly, he said this Pai Huanhua was even more furious, and then he shouted: "You are a bold bastard, what is wrong with you, dare to mess up here! You will beat this guy to death first, and see who can come out ahead! Ma Rong saw him He came to scold him, but he didn't even try to defend himself, he raised both hands, facing the group of slaves, three to the right and four to the right, and knocked down six or seven or eight people. There were still many people standing behind, seeing him behaving so wildly, and were about to come up to help However, Mrs. Qiao took advantage of the time to mention Zhou Buxing in the ground, and moved forward. Zhang Changzong knew it was wrong, and ordered someone to chase him. Here, Zhou Bucheng and Zeng Youcai have been sent by the small boiling courtyard. He raised his shoulders and rushed back. Seeing that everyone had left, Ma Rong picked up the paper flag and said to Zhang Changzong: "I advise you to be careful, it doesn't mean that you have no fear when you go into and out of the palace. You know there is a law of the country.Master Di is not easy to talk to! Seeing that Zhou Buxing was snatched away by the crowd, Zhang Changzong immediately shouted: "That's all, I, Zhang Changzong, don't put him to death, and I don't know my method!"Tomorrow morning, it will be enough to argue with him in the Golden Palace. " After saying that, he came in angrily. All those slaves, dare to come to ask questions? They retreated. Ma Rong was very funny when he saw it, and turned back to the yamen at that time.

But coincidentally, all the people had already arrived in the hall, and the two police officers went in first to report to Duke Di, who said, "I'm going to find out his faults. Wouldn't that be wonderful?" , Immediately ascended to the hall, knelt Zhou Bucheng under the case, and shouted loudly: "What did you worship in the hall just now? It is a great luck for this court to order you to parade the street. How dare you order someone to rob this court's flag seal on the way?" How can you still be such a great person if you dare to tear him apart? Where is your brother now, bring him here!" Mrs. Qiao promised, kneeling alone in the hall, and so on, repeating Zhang Changzong's words.Di Gong didn't say a word, but asked Zhou Buxing: "What law did your brother commit, do you know? This court ordered the interrogation, and the confession on the banner was written by him, and this court stamped it. On the top, if you dare to snatch and tear up such a serious object, what other law is there? Push him out and cut him off!" The two patrolmen arrived at this time, and rushed to report to the case: "This matter is humble and sympathetic. , Zhou Bucheng is Zhou Buxing's elder brother, although the case is serious, the paper flag should not be torn off, but he is in a hurry." In addition, Zhang Changzong came out to shout again, so he acted boldly, begging the Lord to forgive him for the first time and save his life.Hearing this, Di Gong pondered for a while, and then said: "According to you, although he feels that his feelings are forgivable, Zhang Changzong should not intervene in this matter. Even if he wants to protect him, he should come to this court to intercede face to face. It is right. Moreover, if a domestic slave breaks the law, the crime belongs to the owner. Zhou Bucheng committed such a serious crime, and he has already made mistakes. Why did he come out to hinder my order? I am afraid that you will make up words to prevaricate. If you say this, I will forgive you for a night. Let's see if Zhang Changzong will come or not, and we'll make an interrogation tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he still ordered the police to take the three of them away and put them under separate supervision, and then retreated, and everyone left the yamen.

Let's say that the patrol brought Zhou Bucheng inside and said to him: "You all hated us for beating you before, but this adult is too serious. It's none of your business. Who doesn't want to be convenient? As long as the strength comes, why not. Just now It's not that I'm begging for mercy in front of adults, your brother is dead. But I can only save the present. If Zhang Liulang doesn't come tonight, not only will you three die, but I will always be troubled. You should also know the reputation of this person. How to say that the item will never change. In my opinion, it is better to plan quickly and invite Zhang Liulang. All in all, the one who is in power now is the strongest. Whoever does not rely on the two families of Wu and Zhang is an official in Beijing. Power. Although the monk is righteous and is favored now, he is an outsider after all, and has nothing to do with the officialdom. He was able to bring Liulang here. , Say a few words about emotional intelligence, why don’t you release you immediately? This is for my convenience, so I will tell you what I say, and you have to think it over, so don’t drag me down.” Zhou Bucheng turned his worries into joy, and didn't know what happened next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
