Crowned with Pearls

   Chapter 824 Twenty-three · Opening

   Mrs. Chen did show evidence.

It was already evening when Gao Ping got off the yamen and went home. He beat his waist and walked out of the yamen door, tired and got into the sedan chair. The bell rang from the sedan chair, and when he heard his confidant come forward, he coughed, "Go to Baoding Tower."

The people below    hurriedly responded, and after a while, they led the sedan chair in a different direction to Baoding Building on Zhengyang Street.

Zhengyang Street, which has always been lively, is particularly cold today. For a long time, I didn't hear the hawkers and noises outside. Gao Ping couldn't help but feel that something was wrong. I glanced at it—the street was empty, and it was completely different from the previous scene of heavy traffic.

   This is a little bit wrong.

  Dongsi Street and this Zhengyang Street have always been one of the most lively streets in the capital. The more evening comes, the more the hawkers crowd the place, but now it is a little unusual.

   seemed to see his confusion, and the guard beside him hurriedly answered his doubts.

"What?" Gao Ping was a little surprised. He was busy trying this case recently, and he was living in the Punishment Yamen, and he was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat, so his news was a little delayed. A mad horse fell from the horse and died, and I couldn't help feeling a little weird.

  Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the county lord who died because of a frightened horse fell from a horse, but only such a person can be regarded as dead ingenious.

   He shook his head and went up to the second floor, which had already been prepared. He pushed open the door and saw the people sitting on the facade. He immediately became awe-inspiring, and tidied up his robes and went forward to salute: "Yuan Fu!"

   "Sit down!" Yang Shoufu waved his hand, and when he saw him sitting down, he asked unhurriedly, "How is it, how is the investigation?"

"I was about to tell you, Yuan Fu." Gao Ping took a deep breath when he talked about this, as if he felt that there was a thousand-pound stone crushing him to death. There is evidence in his hand! Before Chen Chong died, he asked his confidant to escape with his seal, and left a handwritten letter, stating that the person who was chasing him was a bandit disguised by the officials!"

  The imperial court officer was killed because his daughter was kidnapped, and he wanted to avenge her daughter, but he offended someone more powerful and was silenced.

   This matter is said, it will shock people's eyes.

  Especially it can be seen how disrespectful the whole officialdom in Hunan and Lingnan is, it is really outrageous!

  Yang Bo snorted coldly, because he was never angry, but at this time he couldn't help but feel a little indifferent and cold: "It's absurd! These people are really jumping up and down, I don't know what it is!"

   Gao Ping heard it a little like falling into a cloud, and couldn't help but shouted Yuan Fu.

   He listened to Yang Shoufu's meaning, as if he knew who these people were?

However, Yang Bo refused to say any more, and just tapped his finger on the table: "You said, Mrs. Chen has left a letter from Chen Chong, which is to testify that Xu Fengqing, the prefect of Liancheng, condoned the bandits, colluded with profiteers, abducted and sold girls and Buying a murderer?"

   Gao Ping hummed, and when the topic returned, he couldn't help but have some lingering fears: "Yuan Fu, there's more. Do you know where these girls end up going?"

   Yang Shoufu raised his head and gave him a flat look.

   This glance made Gao Ping subconsciously feel his heart skip a beat. He didn't dare to sell off any more. He lowered his voice and said, "It's Juhaizhuang."

  Juhaizhuang!

   In these years, Juhaizhuang has been a very beautiful existence in the capital. Who doesn’t know that Juhaizhuang is a place where the rich and powerful gather? It is all the ministries in the capital, who has not had the benefits of Juhai Village?

   He can be a man and do things, but there are countless bad things under the pressure.

   Gao Ping hesitated: "Yuan Fu, this case."

   "This case can be tried as it should be tried." Yang Bo turned his head and looked at him coldly: "This case, from the people of Limin to the Queen Mother, are all watching, you have to be careful."

Gao Ping shivered immediately, thinking of the people who came to inquire about the case secretly these days and the piles of gifts that came to the door, he immediately sweated profusely, and said in a panic, "Yes, it's because my subordinates are too complacent, Yuan. Teach me!"

  Because this case involved a very large scale, the Ministry of Punishment opened the court the next day to inquire about the case, and the surrounding area was crowded with people watching the fun, and those who came later didn’t even have a place to stand.

   Mrs. Chen was still wearing a coarse linen filial attire and knelt in front of the hall holding Chen Chong's spiritual seat.

   In fact, the trial has been tried again these days, but this case was too noisy, so in order to prevent rumors from outside, the Ministry of Punishment, with the approval of the cabinet, deliberately moved the court to the outside of the yamen, and did not stop the people from watching.

   For a time, the yamen of the Punishment Department was crowded with people.

   Mrs. Chen knelt on the ground, crying and telling the whole story again.

How did he lose his daughter when he returned to his family in Fujian, how did he report the case to the local government, but was obstructed, and how did he go back to Xiangtan County and tell Chen Chong how Chen Chong found out the kidnapper at that time, and followed this path. The kidnappers found a gang specializing in abducting and selling girls in the two lakes, Guangdong and Guangxi and Jiangxi and Fujian.

   Besides, Chen Chong wanted to communicate with the Quanzhou government, Fujian, and discussed with the Quanzhou prefect to arrest people, but the news was leaked in advance, causing the kidnappers to disappear.

   Mrs. Chen's tears fell one after another.

The people watching    also couldn't help crying.

   It’s so miserable, so hard.

   Hearing that Chen Chong, the magistrate of the county, was in such a difficult situation, the people couldn't help but feel horrified and fearful - the powerful and powerful are still like this, so what if it was their own daughter?

   How do they fight those officials?

   Madam Chen fell to the ground crying and fainted temporarily.

   For a time, the people were excited, and they all fought for Madam Chen.

   Gao Pingrao was already prepared in his heart, and was shocked by the public anger and shook his head.

  Yes, Mrs. Chen is really too bold, she took the right step and cried all the way from the most prosperous street in Beijing in front of so many people. Otherwise, who would take such a case?

   No yamen will answer.

   He patted the gavel to make the surroundings quiet, and then had someone help Mrs. Chen up, and asked someone to move a stool for Mrs. Chen. After Mrs. Chen woke up, she asked Mrs. Chen to continue.

Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth and said, "Seeing that all those people have disappeared without a trace, the Quanzhou prefect insisted that my husband was framed without any evidence, and also said that we were suffering from hysteria, and our daughter was clearly sick and died, and our master was very angry. , wrote a memorial and wanted to impeach them, but"
