Charming Dragon Emperor: Abandoned concubine, please respect yourself!

Chapter 93 Human life is like a mustard

When Qin Luoyan accompanied Lao Li's wife to the Yamen, it was already half an hour later.

Because it is the New Year's Eve, there are very few people in the yamen, and there are not many people who come to see the excitement.

Several people entered the yamen, and saw a yamen servant yawning. The man looked at the person who came in weakly, snorted coldly, and shouted: "You are the family members of Carpenter Li? Why are you coming so slowly? This big Chinese New Year is still here Shall I give you a rest?"

Old Li's daughter-in-law wiped away her tears, hurried over, took out a purse from her bosom and stuffed it into the hand of the yamen servant, "Brother, how is my old Li, can we meet first?"

"See, of course! You don't know what to see, and you have to take the corpse back, otherwise what do you think I am waiting for you here? For Chinese New Year, there is no one in the morgue. If you don't take it back, what's the matter? Let the corpse accompany us to celebrate the new year?" The yamen servant took the money bag, but his words were still unpleasant.

"Corpse?" Old Li's daughter-in-law fainted when her eyes went dark.

Qin Luoyan quickly supported Lao Li's daughter-in-law, and Lao Liu desperately pressed Lao Li's daughter-in-law in the crowd, and it took a while for Lao Li's daughter-in-law to wake up faintly.

"Lao Li, Lao Li, why did you just leave like this? How can we live without our orphans and widowed mothers?" Return to the body to find out why.

Qin Luoyan sighed, asked Lao Liu to support Lao Li's wife, and walked up to the yamen servant, "What is going on, if you don't explain clearly today, we dare not move this corpse back at will , did not get any problems but destroyed the evidence."

Perhaps it was because her expression was too calm, and her appearance and temperament were outstanding, the yamen servant was also accustomed to observing words and expressions, so he instinctively felt that the person in front of him might be a good talker, so he reluctantly explained: "I don't explain the cabinet made by Lao Li. When the door panel fell down, it hit Mr. Wu's family. Of course, the Wu family quit. They have to ask Carpenter Li to pay. Carpenter Li couldn't afford it, so of course he was beaten. Carpenter Li's son Seeing that he was beaten, they fought with the Wu family members. In the panic, Li Carpenter was beaten to death. The Wu family son was also injured, and another servant was beaten unconscious, so the Wu family now wants to sue Carpenter Li and his eldest son, that’s all. Carpenter Li didn’t pay for injuries, and the Wu family wasn’t responsible for being beaten to death.”

After what the yamen servant said, it seemed that he was speaking righteously. Perhaps in his opinion, this was the reason. The Li family didn't even have a chance to distinguish.

However, as a modern person, Qin Luoyan has received advanced knowledge education. She does not think that she is illiterate. No matter what social period she is in, it is impossible to beat someone to death.

The words of the yamen servant can be used to fool an uneducated village woman like Lao Li's wife, but do you want to fool her?
Qin Luoyan snorted coldly, her gaze fell on the yamen servant's face like a knife, and she asked, "You said that Lao Li didn't pay compensation for hurting others, and you still want to take the eldest son of Lao Li's family into custody. Has this case gone to court? ?”

The yamen servant was stunned by the question at first, then puffed out his chest at random, and shouted: "It's a big Chinese New Year, how can my adults have time to try this kind of case? You think everyone is idle all day like you ignorant women Nothing to do? In this case, Carpenter Li was at fault first, and of course Carpenter Li will bear the consequences afterwards, so what is there to try?"

The yamen servant didn't dare to answer her question directly, which already made her care about it. In the mouth of the yamen servant, the important matter of human life is actually said to be such an understatement. Is human life really such a waste?

Qin Luoyan suddenly felt sick, her throat rolled, suppressed the feeling of nausea, and then said coldly: "You, a government servant, dare to announce the result of a case without going through the court hearing, you are too courageous Right. Who gave you the audacity? I would like to ask a yamen servant to handle a case without authorization is in accordance with the rules. Oh, yes, I also want to ask, if it is not in accordance with the rules, what kind of punishment should the yamen servant receive? Punishment?"

How could the yamen servant think that a woman can think of this level? After all, they have done a lot of things like this to fool the family, and they have not been exposed. Haven't they already found out clearly? This old Li's family is new to Fengqi City I don't know anyone, the carpenter in my family has no culture, and I don't know the rules and laws. Why, such a woman suddenly came?
"Who are you from Lao Li's family? Lao Li's daughter-in-law didn't say a word, so why are you interrupting?"

"I'm the cousin of Lao Li's wife. This is my family. What's the matter? I can't ask about this?" Qin Luoyan knew that there was something wrong with the yamen servant when he heard it, so he chased after him and asked, "To tell you the truth, We won't let this matter go like this, I haven't heard that you can get rid of the relationship if you kill someone. If you don't want to cause trouble, tell me the truth quickly, otherwise... we'll go to Jing Zhaoyin to file a complaint!"

It's not that Qin Luoyan doesn't understand the matter of being deceived, but it's just that he doesn't use it. However, at this time, facing this kind of depression, Qin Luoyan feels that it is necessary to use this kind of threat to deal with it. It is said that the wicked have their own grind, and only if you are more evil than him can he be afraid of you and let you get what you want.

As soon as the yamen servant heard her tone, most of his momentum disappeared immediately. Let alone looking for Jing Zhaoyin, this matter is just looking for anyone who understands the law. He knows that there is a problem in the yamen. He is just a small yamen servant. There's no point getting into trouble over this.

The yamen servant hesitated for a moment, looked at Qin Luoyan, and then at the old wife Li on the ground, "Oh, I didn't say this, even a yamen servant dare not say that, but I advise you not to It’s a mess, I’ll tell the higher-ups later, let the boss of the Li family go, let’s forget about it, you can bear it if you suffer, you can’t afford to offend the Wu family, don’t get involved with the whole family at that time!”

The yamen servant was sincere when he said this, but when she heard Qin Luoyan's ears, her face became more and more gloomy, people are dead, and people endure it, what's the reason for this?
"If we can't bear it, you, a yamen servant, can't be the master, so I'll go beat the drums and complain, and I want to see my lord!" Qin Luoyan said as he was about to walk towards the gate.

The yamen servant was so frightened that he immediately grabbed her sleeve, "I said, auntie, don't make trouble, this matter is not up to us adults. In fact, there is nothing we can do. Our adults are just one person in the yamen. Little official, in Fengxi City, what can a small official in the yamen do? A single signboard can kill ten or eight of them. It’s useless for you to ask our lords about this matter. When the time comes, the higher-ups will be alarmed, not all of them We're done together."

"Go away!" Qin Luoyan looked down on this yamen servant, so he was not polite, "I can't make decisions for the people, but also confuse black and white. Such an official is worthy of being called an official? Just be careful, I'm going to beat the drum!"

"Oh! I said why you don't know good and bad? I persuade you for your own good. If you don't listen to what I have said so much, if you still want to sue, what happened later? Don't blame me for not listening. A reminder." After the yamen servant said this, seeing that Qin Luoyan had no intention of compromising at all, his face darkened even more, but he was not afraid.

He is not afraid?Qin Luoyan frowned, and couldn't help thinking deeply, what made this yamen servant so confident?She originally wanted to beat the grievance drum, but her pace unconsciously slowed down.

She knows that sometimes, she can't be too reckless.

It's a pity that when she was talking to the yamen servant, Lao Li's daughter-in-law listened to their conversation. Lao Li's daughter-in-law realized that there was something strange about Lao Li's death. Once she heard it, she could complain to an adult, so how could she stop? live?She pushed Lao Liu away and stood up, and rushed to the door in a few steps.

When Qin Luoyan wanted to stop it, it was too late.

The sound of drums sounded from outside the door, and spread far, far away on the clean street.

Many people who were eating lunch heard the noise and couldn't help complaining, "Which family has people, and they don't pick a time to file a complaint. It's Chinese New Year, and the adults are busy eating, so whoever has time to file a complaint people?"

"That's not right, and the voice came from the East Street. What kind of an adult is the lord of the small yamen in the East Street? I heard that the official position was bought with money. The person who complained is too confused."

"Poor thing, I also heard that the official rank of the lord is particularly poor. If it weren't for the cover of someone above him, he would have lost his hat a long time ago. He can be in the official position all the time. There are people above him. This is a New Year's Eve, disturbing That lord's cleanliness, I think the person who complained would be beaten to death before he handed in the certificate."

It's a pity that Old Li's wife, who just arrived in Fengqi City, didn't know about these things, nor did Qin Luoyan, who didn't know much about this place.

Now that the drum has been beaten, there is no way out, Qin Luoyan sighed, whether it is a blessing or a disaster, it should come or it will come.She helped Lao Liu and Lao Li's daughter-in-law into the yamen again.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, an official with a slightly crooked official hat came along with a few sluggish and ugly yamen servants. The yamen servants shouted "mighty" feebly, but stared at Lao Li angrily. Several daughters-in-law.

Old Li's daughter-in-law was about to complain, but the adult slammed the table and yelled at the yamen servant who had started to receive a few people: "Xu Liu, you trash, you can't do such a small thing well, and you let this bitch Beat the drum of grievance!"

Before the trial started, the lord had already named Lao Li's wife a bitch, and Qin Luoyan's heart skipped a beat, feeling that things might go wrong today.

Sure enough, the next moment, the lord didn't even look at the woman, and directly ordered the other two yamen servants: "What are you doing in a daze, first drag it down and hit the [-]th big board before coming back, and the big New Year's Eve is still here to beat the grievances!" Drum, what grievance do you have? As far as the Wu family is concerned, how dare you complain about the person you hurt first? None of the Wu family complained!"

I have seen black and white confusion, but I have never seen such a shameless person. Qin Luoyan has gained a lot of knowledge. Seeing the two yamen servants come to pull the old Li's wife, Qin Luoyan sighed and stood up, " My lord, let's not talk about whether Carpenter Li hurt anyone, but just talk about Carpenter Li being beaten to death. Is it too arbitrary for you to say that the Wu family is not guilty before you have found out? "

"Don't accept?" The lord laughed, "I don't care if you accept it or not? Do you know who is behind the Wu family? The eldest daughter of the Wu family was drafted into the palace last year and became the empress of the palace. Who are you? How dare you refuse to accept it?" ? Come on, my lord, I still have to go home for the holidays, you guys go and make trouble wherever you like, anyway, I don't care."

Two yamen servants dragged Lao Li's daughter-in-law to the back hall, and after a while they heard Lao Li's daughter-in-law screaming in pain.

After the adult finished speaking, he yawned and left, completely ignoring the few people who were still in the yamen, and the group of people came and left in a hurry, acting recklessly.

Qin Luoyan never expected to see such an unimaginable thing here, this arrogance is too exaggerated, at the feet of the emperor, there is such a thing?
After the group left, the first yamen servant came over again, "I told you not to make trouble, but you didn't listen. Carpenter Li is now alone. If you make trouble again, you will all die."

Qin Luoyan thinks such a threat is ridiculous, but if it is an ordinary person, without any background, what are they when they are facing the people in the palace whose power behind them has already touched them, maybe their lives are really important. An easy task.

The adults and the yamen servants have inquired about the details of Lao Li's family, that's why they are so confident. In their eyes, Lao Li's family is worthless, knowing how to advance and retreat can save the lives of the whole family. If they are disobedient, who will kill them all? Say a word for them?

This is the reality, isn't it something you can resist just thinking about injustice and resisting?It is really not easy to live in such an environment.

Lao Li's daughter-in-law was thrown out when she was beaten to death, and she had already passed out in a daze. Lao Liu was so frightened when the adult mentioned the power behind the Wu family that he was so frightened that he didn't dare to be here Stayed, made a lame excuse and left.

Qin Luoyan helped the old Li's daughter-in-law, feeling sad in her heart, but she was powerless. She didn't have the peerless martial arts skills to fly over the roof, nor did she have the amazing talent to help the world. She is still a weak woman now, not to mention the adults, she Even a yamen servant can't do anything about it.

Old Li's daughter-in-law was in a daze and could only cry. The yamen servant entered the inner courtyard, and came out with a man in a short while. The man was covered in blood. When he saw Old Li's wife, he knelt down crying and murmured. "Mother, mother, mother..."

Old Li's daughter-in-law became sober now, and cried while hugging the man.

The mother and son were crying in each other's arms in front of the yamen. Behind them was the majestic gate of the yamen, on which there were plaques such as "Mirror Hanging High". Under the sun, those gilded characters were ridiculous.

Qin Luoyan sighed, and when the yamen servant threw out a corpse in disgust, she walked up to the blood-stained man, and patted him on the shoulder, "If you are still a man, now Go and carry your father's body on your back, let's go back and find a way, cry here, even if you are blind from crying, is it useful?"

She didn't say some great truths in a compassionate manner. At this time, she was not interested in showing how righteous she was. Justice itself was a luxury in her opinion. All you do is do what you can.

She has already said what she said, if this person doesn't listen, then maybe there is no need for her to continue to take care of this matter.

Fortunately, the man raised his head, was startled for a moment, then gritted his teeth and turned around to carry Carpenter Li's body.

Qin Luoyan's tense mood finally breathed a sigh of relief. Old Li's daughter-in-law is now in such a state that she can't make up her mind. If the child doesn't take any responsibility, then the family will really be over.

When they returned to Lao Li's house, Erya and her two children were staring anxiously.When Hu'er saw the old Li's wife who came back, he burst into tears immediately, and when Lao Li's wife heard that, she hugged Hu'er and cried again.

The boss of the Li family wanted to cry when he saw it. Qin Luoyan frowned and shouted: "You can't cry, you are the head of the family now! Now, what you have to do is to appease your mother, and find a way to help you Daddy redresses his grievances. Crying is the most useless thing for a big man."

The boss of the Li family has never seen Qin Luoyan, perhaps after experiencing such a big event, he fell silent instead, and he squeezed back the tears that gushed out, "Girl..."

"Needless to say, it's pointless to say thank you. Tell me what happened first, and then we'll figure out a solution." Qin Luoyan sighed. Just now, she had already thought about it. There was no other way, so she went to Fu Zimo for help. As long as Fu Zimo was willing to take action, there should be nothing he couldn't solve in this Nanyue country.

However, she knew that with Fu Zimo's temperament, he would never easily help anyone who had no interest in him. She could ask him, but she would have to pay a corresponding price.Last time, in order to save Yisheng, she became his bed warmer, this time, what would she have to pay to beg him?She didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't want to think about it.

"The Wu family hired a carpenter to do the work a few months ago, and my father and I went there. My father is an honest man, and the workmanship is good and the price is low. So after doing it once, the Wu family will come to us whenever the furniture is broken. Go fix it. Someone from the Wu family said this morning that a cabinet was broken and asked Dad to go. I wanted to help Dad do it together, so that I could finish it earlier and go home earlier. Who knew something like this would happen..."

"Get to the point." Qin Luoyan frowned.

"Okay, okay." The boss of the Li family calmed down and said, "My father and I were called to two rooms in the backyard. The furniture in both rooms was broken. My father went into one, and I went into one." One room, after a while I heard a quarrel with my father. When I passed by, I saw people from the Wu family beating my father. I was so angry that I fought with them. There are so many of them. They are their opponents, so just, just..."

The boss of the Li family was a little emotional when he thought of that scene, but Qin Luoyan didn't change his face, and asked calmly, "Did you see anything special when you went in?"

Even if Li Carpenter hurt someone, the Wu family had no reason to beat him to death, and it would be unreasonable to beat him to death.

The boss of the Li family thought about it carefully, then shook his head, "It's nothing special, the cabinet is made of rosewood and is very expensive, and there are some messy things in it..."

"The rosewood cabinet is used to store sundries?" Qin Luoyan felt that he had found something, and asked again: "What sundries?"

The boss of the Li family was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, his expression immediately changed. He is seventeen or eighteen years old. Although he is not married yet, boys know everything they need to know. Now that Qin Luoyan reminded him, he immediately Thinking of it, there seems to be something in the innermost part of the cabinet, which looks a bit like a man's... a man's...

The boss of the Li family blushed and was speechless for a long time.

Qin Luoyan frowned, seeing that he couldn't speak, he simply asked directly: "Is it a sex toy? Uh...the one used between men and women..."

"No, it's not between men and women, it seems to be used between men." When he said this, the boss of the Li family completely lowered his head.

Qin Luoyan finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter. Now it seems that Carpenter Li was the one who ran into Mr. Wu's scandal and was killed and silenced.

With money and power, killing someone is too insignificant in their eyes.

Qin Luoyan snorted coldly, "Now that we have found the reason, we can find a solution. It seems that Mr. Wu is a loser, as long as he has a weakness, we have a chance."

"Then what should we do?" If you didn't know Qin Luoyan at first, then after some conversations, the boss of the Li family has a newfound admiration for Qin Luoyan.

"Find evidence! Then give the enemy a fatal blow!" Qin Luoyan glanced at the still crying old Li's wife, "Now, please comfort your mother and settle your father's affairs, and then pretend to compromise , don’t show any resistance, let the enemy relax their vigilance, and then you can secretly follow Mr. Wu.”

The boss of the Li family nodded, admiring Qin Luoyan even more.

With a plan for the handling of the matter, Qin Luoyan felt that it was time to leave space for the Li family to lick their wounds, so she handed Erya and Yisheng back to her yard.

Along the way, Erya and Yisheng felt very heavy, especially Erya, who couldn't help crying, "Lao Li's daughter-in-law is so pitiful. These days, the lives of the poor are really not fate. I used to have An older brother, because his family was poor, was bought to be the servant of a rich family, and within two months he was beaten to death because he made a mistake. dead, we can't even redress our grievances."

After hearing this, Qin Luoyan didn't express any opinion, but couldn't help but sighed again. This day, she seemed to be sighing more than in a year.This is helplessness, the helplessness of this social system, human life can be bought and sold as goods, and can be measured by money.

But what can she do, at least for now, she can't do anything.

"Excuse me, is this the residence of Mr. Wuhen?" As soon as they walked to the door, they saw a middle-aged man guarding the door. When he saw them, his attitude was respectful and flattering.

Qin Luoyan smiled lightly. After Yue Wuhen challenged Tianji Pavilion, the first person was finally found. This is very good. At least, she can rely on her own power step by step to reach a position where people cannot be bullied at will.
