Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Why do you want the lonely king to be the master?"

"Go back to the prince, villain. The villain's sister is dead. Please help the villain to avenge his grievances."

Yuan Yan on the side was puzzled, "Your sister is dead, why should my elder brother seek justice for you?"

"My lord, the villain's younger sister was wronged and committed suicide! They accused my younger sister of stealing money, but she really didn't steal it." The servant cried loudly, "It's the master who hired her to covet her beauty. A method to force her to submit."

"What! There is such a thing!" Yuan Yan said angrily

"Yuan Yan, stay safe and don't be impatient." Defang looked at the servant and said, "tell me about your affairs in detail."

The name of the servant of the palace is Lu Mu, and the younger sister Lu Huan works as a maidservant in a scholar Wang's family. The two brothers and sisters each make money to support their elderly mother. She is a scholar, but she often does some meddling things, and even touches Lu Huan and asks her to be a concubine. Lu Huan told her brother all this. Lu Mu went to Wang's family very angry, but was beaten out. The younger sister was still detained in the Wang family. A few days later, Lu Mu heard that the younger sister was framed for stealing money and was tattooed on her face, and her innocence was also tarnished. The younger sister committed suicide due to the humiliation. The Wang family asked Lu Mu to collect the body. He cried He ran to the Wang's house, but the Wang's family asked him to compensate Lu Huan for the money he had stolen before giving the body to him. Lu Mu wanted to sue the officials, but was beaten up by his employer, Ding. He ran back to the palace, hoping that Defang would avenge him.

Hearing this, Yuan Yan was very angry, "Scholars actually did such inhumane things!"

"I beg your lord to be the master!" Lu Mu cried

"Brother Wang!" Yuan Yan said, "A scholar actually used lynching in his own house, forcibly robbing a civilian girl to tarnish her innocence, causing her to commit suicide. This matter must be dealt with!"

"Yuan Yan" Defang said, "According to the old system, if a servant in a scholar's family made a mistake, he could stab his face with ink as a punishment. The matter should be handled by the Kaifeng government, not under the control of Brother Wang."

Yuan Yan looked at Lu Mu and said, "Brother Wang, I have a request!"

Defang looked at Yuan Yan, "Yuan Yan, Brother Wang knows what you want to do, well, Brother Wang will ask you to take charge of this case."

"Thank you, brother!"

Defang nodded, "Lu Mu, you can stay in the mansion for now, if there is any grievance in this matter, the lonely king and the Guangling County king will make the decision for you."

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, the county king!" Lu Mu kowtowed

"Jiajun" Defang said, "You take someone to escort that scholar's family to the Kaifeng mansion, and the lonely king will enter the palace to ask for orders."

Defang came to the palace and told Zhenzong about the matter, and Zhenzong said, "Does the emperor think Yuan Yan can try this case?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Yuan Yan is already in his twenties and has no real job yet, but he has long been eager to serve the country and is very smart. I believe he will handle this case well."

"Well, I believe what the emperor said. I think that for many years, the emperor has taken care of Yuan Yan a lot, and he must know him very well. If the emperor said that he is worthy of a great job, there must be no problem."

"Yuan Yan is talented and smart, and he was quite liked by the late emperor. Now, as long as His Majesty gives him a chance, I believe he will become a great weapon in the future."

"Okay! That's it. I will make him an official for the Kaifeng Mansion first. After the trial of this case is over, I will assign another post."
