Riding the Pheonix Chapter 22: Strike

"Hey! You bitch!" The yamen servant carrying a knife came over and pointed at the old woman, "If you want to complain, go to the yamen and beat the drums. Mr. Jiang is here for the first time in Dongning today, so don't come and cause trouble!"

The old woman opened her eyes covered with white clouds and begged: "Master Cha, the old woman didn't mean to cause trouble. There is really nothing we can do! Please give me a way to survive!"

The girl also cried and begged: "Master, my mother has been sent to prison, and my brother is still breastfeeding. Please give me a way to survive!"

The two of them knelt down and kowtowed.

Ordinary people have a pity for the old and the weak. This old woman is not only old but also blind. She came to cry out for injustice. When everyone saw it, they first felt sympathy, and then saw the girl crying pitifully. They couldn't help but feel sad. Can't bear it.

Some villagers recognized their grandparents and said, "Isn't this Granny Mi from Pujia Village? Her daughter was arrested for poisoning her father-in-law!"

"Is it the one in Sanshu Village? I heard that the daughter-in-law poisoned her father-in-law to death because of a quarrel."

"If you come to Jiang Qingtian to complain about injustice, you are not really being wronged, are you?"

"This is hard to say. Granny Mi is the biological mother of the Pu family, so of course she speaks for her daughter."

"My aunt's house is in Sanshu Village. She said that Mrs. Pu is usually very filial. That day, she called her father-in-law because she was late in beating pigweed. Isn't it childish to poison her father-in-law for such a thing? ”

"Yes, in the surrounding villages, who doesn't say that Mr. Pu is a kind person? He really doesn't look like someone who would poison his father-in-law."

As soon as the remarks were made, someone loudly begged for Granny Mi: "Master, their grandparents are really pitiful, can we just be a little more generous?"

"That's right! Isn't it true that Master Chiang patrols the world to redress unjust cases and make decisions for the people?"

"That's right, now people come to complain, how can we drive them away?"

Seeing Jiang Wenfeng's sedan arrive in front of her, Granny Mi shouted miserably: "Sir, human life is at stake, please redress the injustice of the women!"

In the tea room, Minghao's eyes widened: "Master Jiang will pick it up, right? He is Master Qingtian. When someone calls out for injustice, you can't just ignore it, right?"

Ming Wei said: "If he doesn't care, the people will definitely be dissatisfied."

The scholar at the table also said this. But I heard one of them sigh: "This is not good! Mr. Jiang tried an unjust case before he entered the city. Didn't he slap the Dongning officials in the face? He was ordered to inspect. If the local officials had first With opposing emotions, it is very difficult to understand the actual situation on the ground."

"Yes!" His companion agreed, "The people don't know what's going on, but we all know that it's not that easy to be a great master. You should make decisions for the people, but you have to have a good relationship with your colleagues at the top and your subordinates, otherwise , there are constraints everywhere, and I can’t do anything.”

Minghao listened carefully and scratched his head: "Is that so?"

Mingwei nodded: "They are right."

On the avenue, the official sedan stopped as expected.

Jiang Wenfeng lifted the curtains and told the guards a few words.

The guard came over and said: "Old man, please come up quickly. Even if your case has been judged, it must be reviewed according to law. Your Excellency is inspecting under orders and will also review local cases. Even if you don't If you cry out for injustice, your Excellency will also try the case."

But Granny Mi refused to get up. She grabbed the guard's hand and begged: "Sir, civilian women don't dare to wait! Folk women can wait, but my daughter can't wait, and my little grandson can't wait! Please sir. Make the decision and ask for justice.”

The grandfather and grandson kowtowed repeatedly.

The guard could only comfort him: "Don't worry, old man. Your Excellency has already arrived in Dongning, and the office will open tomorrow. You can just go there then..."

Grandma Mi accepted death and refused to get up no matter what.

Their grandparents refused to get up, and the official sedan could not just leave, so the group stopped on the road.

At this time, a arrogant **** came from behind and asked with his chin raised: "Master Jiang, the young master ordered me to ask when you can enter the city!"

A gentle voice came from the sedan: "Thank you, sir, please wait a moment. We encountered an emergency. I will handle it right now."

"The solution you are talking about is just trying to persuade me here? How long will this persuasion last?" The guard said with a cold tone, "I have been living in the open all this way. For the sake of the emperor's orders, the young master has been giving in to you, Mr. Jiang. Now. We’ve already arrived in Dongning, why don’t you want to take a break as soon as possible?”

There was silence in the sedan, and he replied: "I was negligent. Lei Hong!"

The guard came in response: "Sir!"

"Take this mother-in-law and her granddaughter back to the Yamen."

Just as the guard was about to respond, another young woman walked slowly behind.

Looking at her dress and manners, she was no less than a wealthy daughter, but what she said was: "Master Jiang, I have ordered my servant to tell you something."

Jiang Wenfeng had no choice but to press the button first: "Miss Awan, please speak."

The Ah Wan girl said in a calm tone: "Master said, since you are called Qingtian, you should make decisions for the people. Since this woman is said to be wronged, why don't you give her justice instead of judging her in public? How can you call it Qingtian? What?"

As soon as these words came out, some of the scholars at the table swung their folding fans angrily: "This is unreasonable! This is a way of forcing Mr. Chiang to try the case in public!"

Another person also said: "That's too much! This Mr. Yang, I thought he was a wise man after being a loyal man, but I didn't expect him to be like those people! What a silverfish!"

"Shh!" A companion quickly stopped him, "After all, you are a member of the royal family, so you must not be overly rude."

After persuading him, he shook his head and sighed: "Princess Mingcheng understands justice well, why are her grandchildren so..."

Mingwei’s brows furrowed.

Is this really the case?

The people outside did not expect so many people. They felt that everything Young Master Yang, the maid, said was reasonable, so some people agreed: "Yes! Mr. Jiang, if they are really wronged, the trial tomorrow will be different from the trial now. ?"

"Yes, yes, yes, why bother these old women and weak women to make another trip?"

"Yes, that's right. ~IndoMTL.com~ With the momentum, it will be difficult to suppress it.

The prefect opened the sedan curtain and came down and cupped his hands: "Sir Jiang, since the people have asked for it, please give it a trial. This case was reported from Yongping County. The subordinate has already read the file and can't find it. If there is indeed an injustice, please come and clarify it, so that the magistrate will not judge an unjust case and leave a stain in the future."

As soon as he said this, a sigh came from the sedan.

With the people crying out and the prefect speaking like this, Jiang Wenfeng had no other choice.

The sedan curtain was raised and he also got off the sedan.

But this Lord Jiang is much younger than everyone imagined. He is eighteen years old and has been in high school for more than ten years. He is exactly thirty this year. However, his face was fair and handsome, and he looked to be in his early twenties, a full generation younger than the prefect.

Mingwei looked at it intently and said "Huh".

This Mr. Jiang, in addition to the inherent literary spirit of a scholar, also has an aura of pure spirituality that comes from unknown sources.

"Seventh Sister, do you also think Mr. Jiang has a good life?" Mingxiang said with great interest, "I thought that if Mr. Yang didn't get off the car, our visit today would be in vain! I didn't expect that this Mr. Jiang is so good-looking. Today is really... You’ve come to the right place!”

Over there, Jiang Wenfeng spoke in the eyes of many expectant eyes: "I have received the grace of the Holy Spirit to inspect each government, and it is my duty to check for leaks and fill in the gaps. Originally, all cases should be treated equally. After the opening of the office, all cases will be treated equally. And try them. However, because they are old and weak, and the magistrate has asked for help, they have to try them first. Lei Hong."

"My subordinates are here."

Jiang Wenfeng pointed to the teahouse: "Go and borrow a place from the store to ask questions."

"Yes."

The store had been alarmed for a long time. Jiang Qingtian asked questions in his teahouse. How could he not agree to such a famous thing, so he immediately agreed.
