God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 133 Why is it So Difficult to Sue

When Xu Zhiyuan saw the front, he was still admiring in his heart. Du He's handwriting was beautiful, but when he saw Chang Sun Chong's name behind him, he was dumbfounded.

After a long while, Xu Zhiyuan said in a low voice, "County magistrate, it's not that I won't help you, it's just that the lower officials dare not take this case."

"how do I say this?"

"First, there is no so-called intellectual property regulation in the Tang Dynasty. This eldest grandson plagiarized your "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", which sounds like a pirated version, but as for this pirated version, this is the first time I have heard of it. There has never been such a thing before. If the case really needs to be tried, there is nothing the lower officials can do. Second, the eldest grandson is the son of Sikong, and if the lower officials really send someone to arrest him for interrogation, they probably won't be able to keep their official positions tomorrow."

Xu Zhiyuan's tone was full of helplessness.

How can a person like Changsun Chong be able to be moved by a small county magistrate?
No matter what Du He said, Xu Zhiyuan just refused to agree.

This guy is really as timid as a mouse to the extreme.

Finally, Du He stood up and said, "Alright, since Mr. Xu doesn't accept this case, then I won't force it. I'll go to Dali Temple to ask."

Xu Zhiyuan hurriedly got up to send Du He off respectfully.

Seeing that Du He and Lu Bu walked out of the gate of the county government office, Xu Zhiyuan was relieved that he was not interested in the stone lions at the gate.

When Du He arrived at Dali Temple, it was Wei Ting who greeted him personally.

Like Xu Zhiyuan, Wei Ting is very enthusiastic about Du He.

But after reading Du He's complaint, he was also shocked for a while, and finally made it clear that he could not handle it. Dali Temple had never handled such a case.

In the end, Du He returned without success.

Walking out of the gate of Dali Temple, Du He said with emotion: "Hey, thinking about my great Tang Empire, why is it so difficult to file a complaint?"

Lu Bu said: "Master, that Wei Ting just now doesn't look like a good person, should I beat him up?"

Du He waved his hand: "Don't think about fighting and killing all day long, you need to use your brain when doing things, whether it's Xu Zhiyuan or Wei Ting, this young master already expected that they would not take this case."

"Then young master, why are you still going to Dali Temple and Chang'an County Government?" Lu Bu asked suspiciously.

Du He smiled: "Of course it is to follow the procedure. After Gaozu ascended the throne, there were clear regulations. The people told him that he could only go up one level at a time, and he must not leapfrog, otherwise he would be punished. Now, we should go. I have finished the procedures, and in a few days, I will go to His Majesty to file an imperial complaint."

"Why do you have to wait a few days instead of going today?"

"I promised you to use your brain, and you must not prepare a complete complaint. Now that the evidence has not been collected, is it a waste of effort?" Du He resigned helplessly.

After returning to Lai Guogong's mansion, Du He locked himself in the house without seeing anyone.

It was rumored outside that Du He was pissed off by Chang Sun Chong's move, and now he is going crazy.

……

in the palace.

Li Er's study room was brightly lit.

Hou Junji reported what happened recently.

Then he said: "There are rumors outside that Du He went to the Chang'an county government and was kicked out by Xu Zhiyuan, but he didn't even see Wei Ting's face when he went to Dali Temple. Go out, the guess is probably true."

Li Er listened, without raising his head, and snorted: "Isn't that kid fearless? Why did he fall down after being robbed of his profitable business? He was quite clever, but it's a pity that he hasn't been honed. Think about my generation, who didn’t escape from the battlefield, how could he be defeated by a small setback? Let him go, it’s always good for young people to experience more tempering.”

Hou Junji asked curiously: "Your Majesty, what do you think about this matter of intellectual property rights? I've lived most of my life, and this is the first time I've heard of such a thing. Aren't those books all for people to read? What's the matter?"

Li Er thought for a while: "Who knows what's going on in Du's kid's mind, this kid has always acted unruly. Let's see, and see what tricks he can play. Actually, in my opinion , you have all been deceived, this kid Du He may not be sick at all, maybe he is holding back something."

……

Wende Palace.

Li Yuanshu looked sullen, looking at the night outside the window for a long time without recovering.

Li Lizhi came over and said teasingly: "Sister, don't worry, Du He is sure to be fine. As the saying goes, good people don't live long, and scourges last for thousands of years. Du He is a big scourge, and he must be better than anyone else." live long."

"Pfft..."

Li Yuanshu was amused at once, and asked curiously: "A good person doesn't live long, and a disaster lasts for a thousand years. Why haven't I heard this sentence?"

Li Lizhi raised her mouth, "Of course Du He taught me!"

After being interrupted by Li Lizhi, Li Yuanshu's mood improved a lot.

However, she still said worriedly: "It's just that Dali Temple and Chang'an County don't hear Du He's complaint now, so doesn't Father also care?"

"Sister, don't forget, my father once said that scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are the last and have the least status. Du He sells books to make money, that is a lowly merchant, and no one in the court will help His, he can only ask for blessings. Who told him to sell books instead of being a good son-in-law."

When it comes to Du He's escape from marriage, the little beauty is furious.

……

That night, there were rumors that Chang Sun Chong held a banquet at the most famous restaurant in Chang'an City and got very drunk.

……

Three days later.

People quietly discovered that Du He actually appeared.

Dressed in simple clothes, Du He rode away from Lai Guogong's mansion, ostentatiously passed through the market, and finally stopped at the gate of the imperial city.

Zhonglang general Li Junxian saw Du He and asked curiously: "Xianzi, Your Majesty has not announced you to enter the palace today, is it possible that the county is here to see the Supreme Emperor?"

Du He got off his horse and said, "No, I'm not here to play today. Today, I'm here to sue the imperial court."

As he spoke, he pointed to a cowhide drum not far away that was as tall as two people.

To report the imperial court, first of all, the big drum must be sounded.

Du He looked at Li Junxian, and said, "Please General Li, bring this drumstick, I'll knock it on."

Li Junxian's complexion changed, and he hurriedly said: "Young magistrate, this is not a trivial matter. Whoever beats the big drum to sue the imperial court, no matter whether it is justified or not, will have to be hit with thirty sticks before he can go to the palace to see His Majesty." "Xianzi, you were born with thin skin and tender flesh. If you go down with thirty sticks, your skin will definitely be ripped apart, and I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to go to the temple."

Du He waved his hand, and said solemnly: "Throughout the ages, whenever reforms were made, there was no one who died without bloodshed. Today, there is no intellectual property law in the Tang Dynasty, and the protection of copyrights has reached such a withered point. Every time I think of it, I feel heartbroken. If you really need to shed blood, start with me, Duhe!"
