My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 8 The Uninvited Guest

"Bring the criminal to court!"

"Kaka...kaka..." Soon, rhythmic sounds of wooden sticks hitting the ground were heard in the lobby.

"Wei... Wu..." The government servants on both sides shouted in unison.

When the government officials began to beat the ground with their sticks and shouted their might, the originally noisy noise in front of the lobby soon became quiet, and the people stopped talking to each other.

In this day and age, even children know that when the government officials bang the water and fire sticks and start shouting "power", they are telling people to be quiet.

If anyone dares to make a noise at this time, I can ask the government officials to arrest him and beat him up.

Following a shout from the head of the duty team, four government officials brought Jia Yu, who had made such a big fuss today, to the court.

Not only that, Jia Yu did not kneel down after entering the hall.

Yuan Yingde, who was sitting under the hanging plaque in the mirror, became furious when he saw it. He pointed at the team leader and cursed.

"Team Leader Chen, why don't you put the prisoner in handcuffs? Don't you know he killed someone today?"

Unexpectedly, Leader Chen quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Sir, I don't want this young master to kneel down, but he has the reputation of being a scholar."

"what?"

Now not only Yuan Yingde, but also the people watching the excitement in front of the lobby were stunned.

No one expected that a "violent gangster" who committed a murder in public on the street, killing one person and injuring two others, turned out to be a distinguished scholar.

Only then did Yuan Yingde officially take a look at Jia Yu, who was standing in the hall.

I saw Jia Yu standing in the hall, tall and burly, with deep features, and an air of neither humbleness nor arrogance.

Especially his clear eyes. Just standing there, he has a tall and straight figure, his legs are naturally close together, his head is held high, and a sense of heroic spirit almost comes out from his bones.

Yuan Yingde has been an official for so many years, so he naturally has his own way of looking at people.

The clear and piercing eyes indicate that this person is a courageous and upright person.

He did not avoid looking at him, the Shuntian Prefect, and made eye contact, which showed that he was open-minded.

But what puzzles Yuan Yingde the most is the fierce and heroic spirit that permeates this sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.

There is absolutely no doubt that he is Yuan Yingde, a military general who has returned from hundreds of battles at the border, but now someone tells him that he is a scholar with a great reputation, which makes Yuan Yingde puzzled.

Although there are thousands of thoughts in his heart, Yuan Yingde, as a high-ranking official who has been in the officialdom for many years, will naturally not be so superficial as to show his feelings on his face.

His face darkened, and he shouted loudly: "Who in the room, please tell me your name and place of origin quickly. Why do you dare to openly commit murder in the street, causing one death and two injuries?"

Jia Yu also saw clearly that the official, who was sitting under the high hanging mirror, wearing a purple robe, with a thin face and a majestic look in his eyes, was looking at him seriously.

He bowed to the official and said, "Sir, the student is from Jinling, and his surname is Jia Mingyu.

I passed the examination in Jinling a year ago and became a scholar. As for the hurtful things I did today, I hope you will forgive me. "

While Jia Yu was speaking, the supervisor on the side had already handed over the Gao Shen that Jia Yu had just given to him.

Seeing the class leader approaching Gao Shen, Jia Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more grateful to her.

Jia Yu didn't expect that although the original person in his memory was incompetent in literature and martial arts, he actually still had the reputation of being a scholar.

If he hadn't seen the body left behind by his original body, he would hardly have believed it.However, when he was about to starve to death, this scholar's identity was nothing, but once he arrived in the lobby, his identity was extraordinary.

When compared with the nobles and nobles, this scholar's reputation is nothing. Not to mention the scholar, even a Jinshi is nothing more than that in the eyes of the nobles.

But for ordinary people, the identity of this scholar is not simple.

Obtaining the status of a scholar already means that you are no longer in the same class as ordinary people.

Strictly speaking, scholars already belong to the privileged class.

Starting from the Han Dynasty, all dynasties have granted privileges to scholars.

For example, a scholar can wear a long gown, a square scarf, and long boots to look superior wherever he goes.

Scholars could raise slaves, they could meet officials without kneeling, they could be exempted from corvee service, they could not pay public food, and most importantly, they could be exempted from prison sentences.

In China's feudal society, as long as ordinary people are suspected of committing a crime, no matter what the situation, the official will first give him a slap in the face, and even the rich will inevitably have their skin and flesh bruised.

But the scholar is different. Even if he is suspected of participating in any illegal activities, the master cannot beat the scholar at will. The scholar has the privilege of being exempted from prison, which is equivalent to half an extra life.

This is why Jia Yu didn't have to wear shackles or kneel when she entered the lobby just now.

Otherwise, for ordinary people, if they really killed someone, they would probably have been ordered by Yuan Yingde to hit him with a killing stick of thirty pieces as soon as they entered the lobby.

Yuan Yingde looked at Jia Yu for a long time, and finally said something expressionless.

"You tell me... if you are wrong or dare to deceive me, even if you are a scholar, I will issue a document to the Jinling Xuezheng Yamen, revoke your reputation, and then punish you!"

"Yes……"

Jia Yu responded, and then told exactly what happened today.

Finally he said: "Your Excellency, the "Daxia Code" says: Anyone who enters a person's house or house without any reason, gets on someone's car or boat, or pulls someone who wants to break the law, he will be killed immediately, and he is not guilty.

As soon as the student came out of the inn, he was blocked by three green men who wanted to kidnap the student because he owed them money.

After the students injured one of them on the spot, the remaining two not only did not retreat, but showed daggers, fingernails and other weapons to kill the students.

The students had no choice but to use their weapons, beheading one of them and injuring the other. "

While they were talking, a Yamen servant had already presented the oxtail knife used by Jia Yu to kill people, as well as the daggers and tiger fingers carried by the two green men.

Another man came forward and explained the cause of death and identity of the deceased and the two injured one by one.

Yuan Yingde stroked his beard while listening, but the expression on his face was still light and did not show any expression.

The common people listening to the trial also began to talk after hearing Jia Yu's words.

For a long time, Yuan Yingde pondered for a long time after listening to the report of his work and the team leader. Just when he was about to speak, he heard a noise coming from outside.

Soon, a government official ran in and knelt in front of the lobby: "Sir, the commander of the Five Cities Army and Horses Division, Mr. Qiu Liangqiu, has arrived!"

Yuan Yingde couldn't help but be stunned: "Qiu Liang... why is he here?"

Soon, a man wearing a blue official uniform with a tattoo on his chest strode in.
