The Four Great Cases of Wu Zetian

Chapter 42

Wang Qianpo lied to the martyr Governor Di with a clever plan to send her to work

But when Ma Rong saw that Huaiyi and the others suddenly disappeared, he knew that he had gone down to the cellar, but when he saw no one around, he immediately walked out and stayed with Mrs. Qiao, listening carefully.But I heard Dao Po came inside and said: "Miss Wang's family, are you still here? I see you people, why don't you bring a basin of water to cleanse your face quickly? Even if you want your wife to be here, you should be more diligent. It makes people feel comfortable. As the saying goes, don't be afraid of a thousand pieces of gold, three little gracious people. A human heart is made of flesh. She sees your tenderness and pleading, so she naturally develops a loving heart. Moreover, Huaiyi has such a character, such a character, and she is still There is such a prestige and wealth that no one else would have imagined. Although he is a monk at the moment, we know that this monk is no less than an idler. Even Empress Wu also comes and goes, princes and ministers, who would not come to compliment? As long as Wu Zetian makes a decree, he will be the best official in an instant, and he did it at that time Mrs. Zheng, isn’t it rare in the world and unparalleled in the sky. At that time, we begged Madam to give us a little light for two nights, but I’m afraid we won’t be able to. You won’t persuade me. You look so pitiful crying. This one of us is in pain. Hurry up and get a basin of water so that I can wipe my face for my wife. Nothing is unreasonable. If you are sensible, she will see the benefits. Wouldn’t she be reluctant? reason?"

While talking, the bell rang suddenly, Ma Rong and the two were taken aback, and hurriedly used a butterfly to wear flowers, and jumped into the bamboo garden to hide.Looking at the original place, two people had already come, holding a magnetic basin, and heading east.Ma Rong said: "Listen to the sharp mouth of the godmother, who speaks so softly. After fetching the water, she must do it. You and I should listen here to understand." The two discussed privately.After a while, the man had fetched water, and the bell was still ringing, and he went in.Ma Rongfu came out again, but the Taoist woman said again: "Mistress, keep your face clean. Even if you want to go, it is so late at night, it is not easy to leave the temple. Let's discuss it again. There is another sentence that I don't know how to advance or retreat. Since the lady comes here, it is here." When you go out, you may not have a clean reputation. If you are clean, it is best not to come. From now on, who doesn’t know about the things you want to be righteous? At that time, you got a bad name, and who did you argue with? I think it would be a good thing. Everyone is beneficial. Such a piece of beautiful jade, who is still unwilling, who else should think? I know what you mean, I came in yesterday, and I was ashamed and embarrassed, so I said a few words, but now I can't turn my face away , In fact, my heart has already been emotional. It’s just that it’s always wrong to be righteous, and I can’t understand people’s intentions. Let me clean up for you, so that you two can be affectionate together.” He said as if going forward to replace her The look of wiping his face and undressing.

Ma Rong was full of anger, only heard a "light", slapped one hand, and the other cursed loudly: "You bitch, who dare to use such sweet words in front of me? You know I am a body of gold and jade, pines and cypresses How can it compare to you, a maggot-smelling rotten thing!
Today, since I was trapped here for him, I risked my life to go to the underworld to settle accounts with him before the king of Hades.If you want to live with it, it is also a dream.Although he is Wu Zetian, we can know that the country also has its rise and fall!What's more, this bald guy's crimes cannot be punished. When the crime is full, then he will be smashed to pieces to expose this evil!You bitch, if you do it again, I will fight you to the death first.Look at things I don't know about you?In the middle of the night, if you enter the monastery indiscriminately, you are not afraid of shame! "

Mrs. Qiao said to Ma Rong's ear: "This woman is really Zhenlie. If this godmother insists on Huaiyi, she has no choice but to go at risk." Ma Rong said: "I'm afraid that Huaiyi has gone elsewhere. Don't hear his words for a while. Let's listen for a while and see how it goes." Mrs. Qiao had no choice but to pull out her waist knife and wait for the fight.

Unexpectedly, the godmother was not angry when she scolded her severely, but instead laughed and said: "Miss, you are too weird. I said good things, but you scolded me. I won't bother you, see When is it time for you to die or live? I'll go out now, lest you get angry." After that, he said to everyone: "You stay here to watch, and I will reply. I think about the bald donkey, and I don't know how to rush it. !” At that time, the bell rang again.Ma Rong and the two suspected that someone had come out from inside, and then hid in the bamboo again, but after listening for a while, there was no movement.Ma Rong said: "The place below must be lenient. I just went down with righteousness and didn't listen to his words. At this time, when the bell rang, the godmother didn't come out. I think there is another way, and I went somewhere else. You and me at this time, and Go back and look around to see what's there. It's the fourth watch now, and you can report back to the city after you go. You and I are here. Although we know what's going on, it's useless in the end." The two agreed, and Zhu In the garden, go out of the courtyard wall, jump up to the hall, and go backwards.But there are many tile houses, surrounded by walls in all directions, and it is difficult to find a way out.After looking at it for a while, I knew it was his dark room, so I had no choice but to come out, jump across the moat, and head towards the city.

When I arrived at the Yamen, it happened that the sky was already bright, and I ate food by myself. Just as Di Gong got up, he went to the study immediately.
"Ma Rong said: "My lord will be very angry when he hears this!There are such events in the world, is it not that the king cannot become a king, and the minister cannot become a minister. At that time, the two of them said the words of the White Horse Temple from the beginning to the end. Di Gong was so angry that he hurriedly said, "you can do this tonight, first kill the old godmother, and the court ordered Tao Gan went to summon the original owner of the Wang family. This court has its own regulations. " Ma Rong led the order to come out. Immediately, Duke Di called Tao Gan in, told him what he had just said, and ordered him to leave the city immediately, and so on.

Tao Gan came out of the Yamen at that time, and came out of the city on a flying horse. He asked the villagers all the way, and after making an appointment with Chen Pai, he had arrived at Wang Yuan's Waizhuang.Get off the horse quickly, hang it on the tree, and walk to the front of the village by yourself. There are four or five Zhuang Ding, whispering there, not knowing what to say.Tao Gan stepped forward and asked, "Is your village surnamed Wang? You go in and report that there is a Tao Gan who came from the city to have a secret discussion with him. Hurry up, or delay will cause delays."

But those Zhuang Ding, seeing that he was dressed in the palace, didn't know whether it was good or bad, so they said, "it's a business to come here, but it happens that my master is sick in bed and doesn't want to see guests. Please come another day. Tao Gan knew that he was pushing the Japanese, so he said: "I know the cause of your master's illness. If you can see me, you can not only cure the illness, but also redress your grievances. Do you understand this sentence? Recently your family Zhuangshang, what happened, your master’s illness is caused by this incident. Whether it is true or not, go quickly, don’t make any further delays. This place is not a place for heart-to-heart talks. Once you get inside, you will know my origin. "When everyone saw what he said, they clearly pointed to the matter of the White Horse Temple. At that time, they had to say: "Please wait for a moment, I will go in and let you know what it is." The man walked in and stopped for a while. When he came back, he said to Tao Gan, "My master asks where you are from the yamen?"

Tao Gandao: "I'm from Mr. Di, the governor's yamen, don't you know?"

Hearing this, the man said, "Since it is the governor's office, my master is now in front of the hall. Please see me here." Tao Gan immediately followed him in, passed through several courtyards, and came to the front of the hall.I saw a middle-aged old man of five or sixty years old standing in front of the hall. When he saw Tao Gan coming, he hurriedly said: "The weather is coming, and the old man is ill. I will welcome you from a distance. Please sit down and serve tea." Tao Gan said at the time: "The villain was ordered to come here. I heard that something unexpected happened to Dezun, and please explain that you may be able to take care of the shirt on your behalf. But I don't know what the name of Yuanwai is?"

Wang Yuanwai said: "The old man's surname is Wang and his name is Yushu. He was promoted as a Jinshi, but because he is dull and incompetent, his family has a little property to live on, so he doesn't want to be an official and lives in the village. It's a false title, this village is called Wangjiazhuang, and the old man is called an outsider. In fact, he would never dare to be an official. But Mr. Di is vigorous and resolute, and he is an upright official, which is really admirable. At this time, the sky is here, what can you learn?" Tao Gan Seeing that he refused to tell the truth, he said: "The ministers of the current imperial court are half of Zhang Wu and the two parties. Mr. Di eliminated the traitors and punished them a few days ago. The villain came here for the matter of Baima Temple. Why do you see outsiders? Don't you say it? Don't you have a negative intention!" Wang Yushu couldn't help crying when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "It's not that the old man concealed it, but because this matter is related to the control of the imperial court. If the news leaks out, his life will be lost. Now what One who is not a minion of a treacherous party is only afraid of pretending to come and find out the truth, so he dare not speak out. In fact, this old man has no place to appeal for his injustice." After speaking, weeping.

Tao Gan said: "Don't be sad outside the staff. I know all about the details. Fortunately, my daughter-in-law has not been polluted at this time." At that time, he told Ma Rongqiao Mrs. Ma Rongqiao's visit last night, and then said: "My lord lives I am here to instruct you, please do this and that, your lord will make this matter clear, all the burden is on your shoulders. There are so many eyes and ears outside, it is really important, don't miss it. The villain can't stay here for long, come back Ya has other errands.

"After finishing speaking, he got up and left. Wang Yushu was very grateful after listening to it. Although he hesitated, he didn't dare to do it. He thought for a while and said: "It's unfortunate that something happened to my family. If you are afraid of the head and the tail again, wouldn't you be humiliating yourself? "At that time, I was very grateful, and sent Tao Gan out of the gate, and acted according to the proposal.

Let's say that Tao Gan returned to the city and reported to Di Gong, and everyone waited on him at the gate.In the second half of the day, suddenly the hall was full of voices, many villagers gathered in the hall, screaming for justice, a middle-aged old man, holding on to a drumstick, beat the hall endlessly.At that time, the civil and military patrols did not know why, so they hurried out and asked, "What is wrong with you, old man? Why did you bring so many people here to complain? Tomorrow, you can submit a charge sheet. Who will report it for you at this time?" Hearing this, the old man grabbed the drumstick and desperately said to the police: "Come to beat the drum to appeal for grievances. It is said that the monk of Baima Temple tricked his wife into the temple. Now he is alive or dead, and no one knows. I am here to ask you to avenge your grievances." Di Gongdao: "White Horse Temple is the abbot of Huaiyi. It is the place where Empress Wu often visits. How can there be such an illegal thing! Where is his crime?" The patrol said: "The villain asked him for it. It was just submitted. Otherwise, it will be blasted in." Di Gong pretended to be angry and said: "How can there be such an incident in the world? If there is no such incident, this court will definitely deal with this person severely. If Huaiyi really broke the law, this court will not be afraid He is an imperial monk, and he must be prosecuted according to the law. Since the plaintiff is like this, he will be sent to the hall to serve him." The patrol leader came out and greeted him. He had seen many book servants coming in from the outside and standing on both sides of the hall.In an instant, the door of the Nuan Pavilion opened, and with a mighty sound, Di Gong was promoted to the public seat in the hall, and he was on duty to serve at the side.Di Gong asked: "And send the drummer." After listening to this sentence, it was like a sea tide, and they all spoke in unison.The first old man, wearing the crown belt of a Jinshi, knelt down under the case, took out the certificate from his side, and handed it over with both hands.Di Gong unfolded it and looked it over, and it was no different from what the monk at the mountain gate said when Ma Rong came back, and then asked: "Is your name Wang Yushu?" The old man said: "The Jinshi is Wang Yushu.

"Di Gongdao: "Is it true that you presented the person you are accusing?Huaiyi is the abbot bestowed by the imperial edict today. He is not only a practitioner, but also conferred by Empress Wu. Does he not know the laws of heaven and the country?
Why did you falsely preach the imperial decree, come to your house for alms, and order you to pay 5000 taels of silver?He also ordered your family to enter the temple to burn incense and deceive your daughter-in-law into it. This is a crime that cannot be punished.You come from the facts. "

After hearing this, Wang Yushu said: "If a Jinshi has a false statement, I will be more willing to ask the crime. I just hope that the adults are not afraid of power, and this matter will be understood." After speaking, he burst into tears.

I don't know how Di Gong will deal with it, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
