Happy Little Scholar

"Sir, this is unfair!"

The woman knelt in front of the criminal department, her voice was extremely sad, as if she had a huge grievance in her heart and had no place to cry, attracting the attention of passers-by.

In recent days, the trend of private appeals has been prevalent, not only in the yamen of the counties under its jurisdiction, but also in Jingzhaofu yamen, Yushitai, Xingbu yamen, and even the Ministry of Household Affairs, Rites, Works and Works Department... As long as it is a yamen, it is not exempt from the custom. After all, the government offices are limited and there are so many people that it is impossible for them all to gather together. Even counting all the government offices in Kyoto, there is not enough space.

This situation has greatly hindered the normal operation of the government.

Therefore, the eldest princess quickly issued a decree based on public sentiment and the actual situation in Kyoto.

Anyone who takes the opportunity to make a fuss, deliberately causes trouble, or blocks the government office will be severely punished as a warning to others. If there is any grievance, they should appeal in an orderly manner. The relevant government office will handle the case one by one according to the urgency and severity of the case. We must try our best to bring grievances to justice, fight back whenever there are cases, strictly abide by the bottom line of the law, and give the people a clear sky.

With this order from the eldest princess, the vigorous anti-corruption incidents among the people were temporarily alleviated, but they did not disappear, but changed from disorder to order. Countless pairs of eyes were staring at various yamen in Kyoto.

At this juncture, even the dandies who usually run rampant in Kyoto are tightly restrained by their families, for fear of causing trouble and becoming a target in everyone's eyes.

Even a small matter will be magnified infinitely, to the point where even their family cannot bear it.

The Punishment Department handles serious cases on weekdays. Unless designated by His Majesty, the Punishment Department lobby is generally closed, and casual complaints of grievances are not allowed in the Punishment Department. However, this time is different. All county-level yamen are going crazy. Naturally, the Punishment Department Can't be idle either.

A policeman had already come out from inside, kindly helped the woman up from the ground, and kindly asked her what kind of injustice she had suffered, and whether she had a pleading. If not, a lawyer from the Ministry of Punishment could write one for free, free of charge. …

From the beginning to the end, there was not much impatience on their faces. So many people were watching on the street. If a place is not handled well, the reputation of the Criminal Department will be ruined. Now is a special period. At this time, If something went wrong, it would be strange if Lord Shangshu didn't peel off their skins.

Soon, the woman was helped in by the officers of the Ministry of Punishment.

Among the people watching on the street, some people shook their heads and said: "In terms of the attitude towards the people, the officials of the Ministry of Justice are the best. They are not like the Jingzhao Yin Mansion. A while ago, I heard that someone was complaining at the gate of the government office. People from the government office No matter what, he locked people up for disrupting the Yamen's handling of the case. Compared with the Ministry of Punishment, this is a superior judgment..."

"Isn't it?" As soon as he finished speaking, someone echoed: "Unfortunately, I was also there at the time. It is said that the girl's sister died. This is a life case. The people in the Jingzhao government office are really too cruel. Too sloppy..."

"I heard that the girl was arrested several times. What is the Jingzhao government office worried about..." Someone else interrupted: "It seems that the girl who went in just now was the girl. Why did she get there this time?" The Ministry of Justice is here?"

"Is this really happening?" Someone showed anger on his face and walked quickly towards the gate of the Criminal Department, "If this is really the case, I can't even take a look at this case!"

"I am coming too!"

"Go together, go together!"

…

At the entrance of the Xingbu Yamen, the excited crowd was stopped by the Yamen.

However, they did not stop them for long. After verifying their identities, special people introduced them in.

In line with the principle of fairness, justice and openness, when the Ministry of Punishment examines cases, people are allowed to listen outside. The Ministry of Punishment claims to the outside world that there are laws to abide by, laws must be followed, law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be investigated. For some cases, the handling process Complete transparency has won a lot of public support.

Of course, in order not to disrupt the order of handling the case, the number of spectators is still limited to fifty people. However, although most people cannot see it with their own eyes, the details of the case will be conveyed through the mouths of these fifty people and can be heard in the audience. Within a short period of time, it spread throughout Kyoto.

In the courtroom, Liu, the Minister of Punishment, patted the gavel tree with one hand and asked: "Who are you here, where do you live, and what grievances do you have? Please tell me slowly."

The woman stood in the hall and said in a soft voice: "My lord, the little girl's surname is Lin Qin. She lives near the gate of the capital. The younger sister is sixteen years old. Her maiden name is Lin Shuangshuang. She is originally a musician of Miaoyin Pavilion. She lives on the 10th day of the first lunar month. Wushangyuanye..."

…

"The person who is going to the court today is Liu Qingtian..."

"This girl is really lucky this time. Is there any case that Liu Qingtian handles that he can't solve?"

"Not necessarily. In this case, it is very likely that even the Jingzhao Yin Mansion will be involved. However, I still believe Liu Qingtian..."

Liu Yishou, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Justice, has handled countless cases in the past few years. No matter how deeply the criminal is hidden, he can't hide it in his eyes, because he often defends the people's grievances, and ordinary unjust cases have won the hearts of the people of Kyoto. He was so loved that he was nicknamed "Liu Qingtian".

Qingtian not only means "Master Qingtian", but also coincides with the fictional image of "Bao Qingtian" who selflessly punishes evil and eradicates evil in the play. This is the highest praise given to him by the people of Kyoto.

In the lobby, when the woman complained about her grievances, someone outside the hall had already understood.

"It turns out that this woman is Shuangshuang's sister..."

"Shuangshuang girls are unparalleled in their piano skills. It's a pity that they died young. That song "A Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix" will never be heard again. It's a pity, it's a pity..."

"Didn't the Jingzhao government say that it was done by a wanted criminal?"

"Damn Jingzhao government!" A man who had been paying attention to the situation in the hall said angrily, his chest heaving: "Listen, this girl just wanted to see the body of Miss Shuangshuang, and the Jingzhao government found a reason to arrest her. Later, they used several other reasons to lock her up in jail for nearly half a year..."

"If there is no trick in this, I won't believe it even if you kill me!"

At this time, with the narration of the woman in the hall, the case gradually became clear.

According to the explanation given by the Jingzhao government, on the night of the Lantern Festival, a wanted criminal of the court hid in the Miaoyin Pavilion. After killing Miss Shuangshuang with extremely cruel means, he tried to harm the son of the Chu family but failed, so he jumped out of the window and escaped. Until now, although the arrest warrants have been posted everywhere, the criminal has not been arrested.

If there was no girl standing in the hall, this case might have been forgotten over time, but her experience and the actions of the Jingzhao Yinfu have added many doubts to this case...

How did Miss Shuangshuang die? How did the imperial criminal escape the heavy pursuit of the government without leaving any trace? What role did the Jingzhao government play in this case...

The whole case suddenly became confusing.

It is said that Dou E was wronged. The girl's sister died unclearly. She went to the government to appeal for justice and was imprisoned for half a year. How could it not be unfair to have no place to appeal for such a huge injustice?

Once this case was exposed, it quickly attracted the attention of the people of Kyoto and also made the Ministry of Justice pay great attention to it.

The witnesses related to Miaoyin Pavilion have been taken to the Ministry of Justice and are under heavy protection. The Ministry of Justice has also submitted a petition requesting that all the files on the case in the Jingzhao Yamen be transferred to re-investigate the case, clear the deceased, and give an explanation to the people who are concerned about the case.

Under such circumstances, "The Injustice of Dou E" is still being performed in various brothels in Kyoto, and there are countless charity performances held every day...

In a brothel, Lao Fang looked at Li Yi and said with some distress: "Son-in-law, this stage, this scene, this effect, so much ice, only this little ticket money, and so many charity performances, this time, we lost a lot..."

Li Yi shook his head, looked at him, and said earnestly: "Don't always think about money, but also think about making some contributions to society..."
