Fortunate Young Gentleman

Ministry of Justice.

Song Yi looked at the petition in front of him and was a little upset.

Miss Tang injured the son of Zhou. The only legitimate heir of the Zhou family seemed to be seriously injured. The Zhou family was furious and filed a petition to sue her directly to the Ministry of Justice.

The case between the Tang and Zhou families is a hot potato, there is no doubt about it.

Although the Tang family has declined, Prince Duan is still there, Concubine Tang Hui is still there, Tang Shui is the daughter of Tang Jing, the secretary of the Central Secretariat, who has been in the position of the secretary of the Central Secretariat for many years. I am afraid that in less than two years, he will enter the Shangshu Province to serve, and it is also not easy to offend.

But compared with the Tang family, the Zhou family is more difficult to offend.

Although the Zhou family does not have much power in the capital, its status is very transcendent, because the current queen mother is surnamed Zhou, and the head of the Zhou family, Duke Zhao Zhou Wu, is the queen mother's biological brother.

Zhou Qing, who was injured by Tang Shui, was the son of Duke Zhao in his old age and the only child of the Zhou family. How could the Zhou family let it go when his ribs were broken and his hands and feet were broken in the street?

As long as the Zhou family cried and made a fuss at the Queen Mother, Tang Shui would be in big trouble.

Duke Zhao was your majesty's uncle, and Zhou Qing was the Queen Mother's nephew and your majesty's cousin. Your majesty attached great importance to filial piety and generally would not disobey the Queen Mother. In this case, Tang Shui was obviously the one who was at fault. The Zhou family servants taught a few slaves from the Western Regions a lesson, which had nothing to do with her. She was wrong to hurt people because of this...

Although Song Yi knew that even when the Tang family was at its peak, they would not provoke the Zhou family, but the Tang family still had people in the palace. After the Ministry of Justice detained Tang Shui, it immediately sent someone to notify the Tang family.

Tang's house.

Tang Qi, who had just received the news, looked at Tang Huai and asked, "Should we send someone to the palace to tell the fourth sister about this?"

"What's the point of telling her?" Tang Huai glanced at him and asked, "Can she offend the empress dowager and His Majesty because of this?"

Tang Qi looked at him and asked, "So what do you mean, just ignore it?"

"She caused the trouble herself, so she should deal with it herself." Tang Huai frowned and said, "The Tang family is no longer the Tang family of the past. Does she still think that she is the eldest daughter of the Tang family and can do whatever she wants?"

Tang Qi shook his head and sighed, "After all, she is a member of my Tang family..."

Tang Huai waved his hand and said, "The blood flowing in her body is not the blood of the Tang family."

Inside the palace, a hall in the harem.

Tang Huifei held a letter in her hand, glanced at it casually, then crumpled it into a ball and threw it aside.

Although she has lived in the deep palace for a long time, she cannot be completely at ease because she has a son outside the palace who makes her worry. She has arranged many spies outside the palace, and she can know any major events in the capital at the first time.

She had already learned about the conflict between Tang Shui and Zhou Qing of the Zhou family.

Although Tang Shui's surname was Tang, and he was half of their Tang family, if it was an ordinary little thing, it would be fine, and she would not mind intervening, but Zhou Qing was the only child of the Zhou family, and the Zhou family was the empress dowager's family. If the empress dowager blamed him, even His Majesty would not be able to intercede, let alone her?

After throwing away the letter, she quickly put the matter behind her.

After a while, he left his palace and came to the door of a certain palace.

Wei Jian stood at the door and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, His Majesty has just fallen asleep. If you have anything to say, please come back after His Majesty wakes up."

It was neither night nor noon. Concubine Tang Hui looked at him and asked, "Why is His Majesty resting at this time?"

Wei Jian shook his head and said, "Perhaps His Majesty is tired of reviewing memorials these days and needs more rest..."

"Then let His Majesty have a good rest and don't let anyone disturb you." Concubine Tang Hui looked at him and said, "I'm leaving."

Wei Jian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, take care..."

Concubine Tang Hui walked down the steps, and a palace maid came from the front holding an incense burner.

She looked up at Concubine Tang Hui, then immediately looked away and hurried forward.

Outside the palace, a young eunuch looked at her and said unhappily, "Why did you come so late? Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time..."

...

In a courtyard on a street somewhere in the capital, a woman looked at Tang Jing and said anxiously, "Why was Shui'er imprisoned in the prison? Go and see..."

"Don't worry, I'll go to the Ministry of Justice to find out." Tang Jing comforted her a few words, then walked out of the house quickly and went to the Ministry of Justice.

After a while, in the Ministry of Justice, Song Yi looked at Tang Jing and shook his head, saying, "This case is originally the fault of Miss Tang, and the Ministry of Justice can only handle it impartially."

Tang Jing looked at him and said, "The Tang family is willing to pay silver as a substitute for the crime."

Song Yi shook his head and said, "The Zhou family has already said that they do not agree to pay silver as a substitute for the crime. This method is no longer feasible."

Song Yi looked at him and said, "The Ministry of Justice has its own principles. Lord Tang also knows that this matter involves the Zhou family, and there are also the Queen Mother and His Majesty behind. This official is really helpless."

Tang Jing arched his hands and said, "This official knows, but I just hope that Lord Song can take care of my daughter more and don't let her suffer in the prison."

Song Yi nodded and said, "Lord Tang can rest assured about this."

When Song Yi sent Tang Jing out of the Ministry of Justice, two figures came from the front.

When they came closer, Song Yi bowed and said, "Greetings to the princess, and to Prime Minister Tang."

Tang Jing looked at the two of them and also bowed and said, "Greetings to the princess, and to Prime Minister Tang."

Tang Ning looked at Song Yi and said straight to the point, "I am here for Tang Shui's case."

Song Yi said, "Tang Shui rewarded Zhou Qing of the Zhou family and is now imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, awaiting his fate."

Tang Ning said, "Let's release him first."

Song Yi looked at a government official behind him and simply said: "Let him go."

The six departments are the six departments of ministers. Although the six departments of ministers can write directly to the emperor, the prime minister is their immediate superior.

The Prime Minister is in charge of all matters in the court, so it is natural to order the Ministry of Punishment to release someone.

Song Yi was already troubled by this hot potato, but now that someone was willing to intervene, it was too late for him to be happy.

Princess Anyang watched the Punishment Department release Tang Shui. When she walked out of the Punishment Department, she came back to her senses, looked at Tang Ning, and asked, "Is this the end?"

Tangning glanced at her and asked, "What else?"

Princess Anyang glared at him and said, "Don't get carried away, your troubles are still to come!"

Tang Shui looked at Tang Ning and asked, "Will there be any trouble if you ask the Criminal Department to let me go?"

"Of course." Princess Anyang said: "Are the Zhou family so easy to bully? Even if we are reasonable, it would be unreasonable for Duke Zhao to cry and make trouble in front of the Queen Mother when he enters the palace. What's more, we have no reason to begin with. reason……"

Princess Anyang glanced at Tang Ning and said, "As a prime minister, you are using your power for personal gain and protecting criminals. Just two days after becoming prime minister, you abolished the official position for personal reasons. Let's see how you pass the test between His Majesty and the Queen Mother."

Tang Shui stopped and said, "I'd better go back to the Punishment Department. No matter what punishment they want, I will bear it alone."

Tangning waved her hand and said, "Just stay home and I will take care of the rest."

Princess Anyang glanced at him and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite loyal, much more loyal than my father."

Tangning said perfunctorily: "Thank you."

"Since you are so loyal, you won't stand idly by if I encounter any difficulties in the future..." Princess Anyang showed a sly smile on her face and said, "After all, we can be considered friends..."

Tangning looked at her and asked, "Does it count...?"
