Chapter 1179: True Identity
Just as Wang Lu thought, Li Yuntian was indeed moved to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and when he saw the butterfly dance in the red dress, he couldn't help but think of the red luan, so he opened his mouth to relieve the butterfly dance.
It was just a sentence for him, but it saved Butterfly Dance's life, so Butterfly Dance is very grateful for it.
In fact, Li Yuntian felt that Butterfly Dance's father's case was unjust nine times out of ten, otherwise Butterfly Dance would not have risked her life to sue, and even turned a blind eye to the Oiran in her hand.
Xue Wu and the others naturally did not have any objections to Li Yuntian's proposal, Li Yuntian just made reasonable use of the specifications of the Daming Statute and split and executed the 30 boards that should have been completed at one time, and the Daming Statute did not explain this situation.
In fact, this is not the first time Li Yuntian has done this, he often did this when he was rehabilitating unjust cases in Hukou County, which made those who had no choice but to sue suffer a lot.
However, although the execution officials knew that they had to take a light hand on Butterfly Dance, they couldn't obviously release water in front of everyone, so when the ten boards were finished, Butterfly Dance's pants on her buttocks had oozed blood.
What Xue Wu and the others admired was that during this period, the fifth critical tooth did not cry out for pain, but her forehead was covered with sweat, and it could be seen that she was enduring the pain.
"Butterfly Dance, who are you going to sue?" After the execution, Wang Lu looked at Diewu expressionlessly and asked, now he can start asking about the case.
"My lord, the people's daughter sued the Songjiang Mansion and the Nanjing Criminal Department, and they were embarrassed and framed the people's daughter's father for greedy ink to repair the river and silver." Butterfly Dance endured the pain in her hips and lay on the ground and said word by word.
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the lobby, although everyone had already guessed this result, but they were still shocked after listening to Diewu say it, you must know that Diewu is facing a first-class ministry like the Nanjing Criminal Department.
Even if the Nanjing Criminal Department is not as powerful as the Beijing Criminal Department, its rank is there, so it is not an easy yamen to deal with.
Li Yuntian was sipping tea there casually, he knew the content of the butterfly dance last night, for him, the higher the level of the yamen involved in the butterfly dance, the better it would be, if it was just the Songjiang Mansion, it would not be worth his action at all.
It is worth mentioning that the reason why Butterfly Dance wants to sue the Nanjing Criminal Department is related to the special setting of the south and north Zhili.
The south and north are different from the major provinces, there is no political envoy department, according to the inspection department and the capital department, because the north and south direct subordinate state capital is close to the central yamen of the Ming Dynasty, so the six departments of the central yamen share the functions of the three local departments.
For example, the Qing Officials Division under the Nanjing Criminal Department is responsible for the case management of the Nanzhili Prefecture Government, specifically to Songjiang Mansion, which corresponds to the Sichuan Qing Officials Division of the Nanjing Criminal Department.
Since the people from the Sichuan Qing Officials Division of the Nanjing Criminal Department participated in the trial of Diewu's father's case, Diewu naturally wanted to sue the Nanjing Criminal Department.
"Dare Butterfly Dance, do you know that if what you tell is not true, you will be severely punished!" Wang Lu slapped the hall and shouted loudly, how can the majesty of the dignified Ming Criminal Department Yamen be offended casually?
"Lord Presiding Judge, what the people say is true, please be aware of it!" Butterfly Dance was unmoved when she heard this, and looked at Wang Lu with a sad and angry face and said, "Lord Presiding Judge, back then, the Songjiang Mansion only allocated one-tenth of the silver taels for the renovation of the river, and my father went to the government several times to eat the closed door, so only one-tenth of the silver taels were used to build the river. ”
"Lord God, my father gathered the local people to repair the river together, and repaired more than 30% of the river in the county, but then I was really unable to repair the remaining river, so I had to give up."
Saying that, Butterfly Dance's face was full of sadness, "Who chatted with unforeseen circumstances, the county was flooded in the second year, and several rivers were washed away by the flood, and the court was very angry about this, so my father became a scapegoat, if it wasn't for the amnesty of the empress dowager's birthday, my father would have his head cut off." ”
"Diewu, what you said is not clear to the official, but the official has sent someone to remove the file of the Nanjing Criminal Department on this case, and he will definitely give you justice."
Wang Lu groaned for a moment when he heard this, first glanced at Diewu quietly, and then bowed to Li Yuntian and said, "Lord Wang, since this case happened in Songjiang Mansion, then the lower officials want to go to Songjiang Mansion to investigate this case thoroughly." ”
"It's so good, I want to give you an explanation." Li Yuntian nodded, and said expressionlessly, "The nature of the river case is bad, and this king will cooperate with the Nanjing Three Law Division to jury." ”
A smile of relief suddenly appeared on Butterfly Dance's face, Li Yuntian put the formation so big, then it would definitely not end hastily, and the hope in her heart to wash away her father's grievances was getting bigger and bigger.
Xue Wu and the others couldn't help but glance at each other, knowing that Songjiang Mansion was going to be unlucky now, once Li Yuntian intervened in this matter, he would definitely find out the case, and Songjiang Mansion would be unlucky because of this case.
After the court trial, Diewu was picked up by Zhang's mother, who was anxiously guarding outside, and the reason why Diewu was able to get out of the prison was thanks to Li Yuntian, who let her recuperate outside the prison and assist Wang Lu in handling the case.
"Daughter, why are you doing this?" In the medical hall, when a female apprentice cleaned the wound on Diewu's buttocks, Zhang's mother couldn't help but sigh and said faintly that after Diewu became an Oiran, she would be able to ascend to the sky in one step, and someone would help her get rid of prostitution in the future.
"Mom, my daughter has troubled you." Butterfly Dance's eyes were a little moist, and she said to Zhang's mother with an apologetic face.
"What do you say to this day, you are raised by your mother, how can your mother ignore you." Zhang's mother sighed helplessly, Diewu could bring her big trouble this time, and someone in the government is now staring at her, making her seem to be Diewu's accomplice.
"This sister, how is my young lady's injury?" At this time, the melon seed-faced maid standing on the side couldn't help but look anxiously at the female apprentice who gave Butterfly Dance medicine.
"Butterfly Dance Girl just suffered some skin trauma, and she will be fine after a few days of rest." The female apprentice said while busy, "You should have more princes, if it weren't for the prince, your young lady would have suffered this time, and thirty boards might be able to beat a strong laborer to death." ”
"The prince is very gracious, we have to write it down." Mother Zhang couldn't help but show a grateful look on her face when she heard this, and said to Diewu that she had heard about what happened in the lobby, so she naturally knew that Li Yuntian had helped Diewu.
"Mom, do you think my father can clear the case this time?" Butterfly Dance's eyes flashed with a hint of expectation, and she asked Zhang's mother faintly, now she is really afraid of failing to sue her, then her family will never have a chance again.
"Lord Zhong has unparalleled judgment of the case, and he has solved so many strange cases and mystery cases back then, he will definitely give you justice!" Mother Zhang smiled and comforted Butterfly Dance, she had heard a lot of Li Yuntian's past, and since Li Yuntian entered politics, he had never made a mistake.
Although in the eyes of others, Diewu's father's case is very complicated, it is still easy to figure it out under the power of Li Yuntian's thunder, Zhang's mother has much more social experience than Diewu, and she has a lot of knowledge, and with Li Yuntian's ability to investigate the case, she will definitely be able to find out the clues of Wudie's father's innocence.
Yangzhou City, in a courtyard of Yixiang Pavilion.
Ziyin sat on the stone chair in the gazebo, staring at the leaves of a large tree in front of her, and after a night's rest, she had regained her normal senses and accepted her defeat last night.
"The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skins." Suddenly, a voice came from behind Ziyin, and Liu's mother came over and sat aside.
"Master." Seeing this, Ziyin hurriedly got up and saluted, a look of regret appeared on her face, if she could calm down last night, then the Oiran would be hers, and Butterfly Dance's physical strength at that time had obviously reached its limit.
"Master has already taught you everything he wants to teach, and your attainments in the future will depend on your own understanding." A loving smile appeared on Liu's mother's face, and she smiled and beckoned to Ziyin to take a seat.
"Master, are you leaving?" Ziyin was taken aback when she heard this, and asked with a surprised face, she heard the meaning of Liu's mother's words.
"There is no feast in the world, we will have a parting in the end, it is better to say goodbye." Mother Liu smiled, and did not deny Ziyin's speculation, Ziyin's performance last night had exceeded her expectations, and Ziyin would definitely become a generation of music and rhythm masters in time.
"Master, where are you going, the apprentice will go with you." Ziyin's eyes suddenly moistened when she heard this, she and Mother Liu have developed a deep relationship in the past few years.
"Silly boy, your sky belongs here, although you lost in the battle of the Oiran this time, but your reputation has spread all over the world, and your future achievements will definitely be above the teacher." Mother Liu smiled slightly, and said to encourage Ziyin, "What you have to do now is to sharpen your mind, a good musician is like water in any situation." ”
"I remember." Ziyin endured the reluctance in her heart and nodded again and again, although Liu's mother was very strict with her on weekdays, but she knew that Liu's mother was for her good and wanted to make her stand out.
"Child, remember that the mind is calm and naturally cool, if the teacher could have realized this, then he would not have lost at the Oiran Conference." Mother Liu reached out and stroked Ziyin's cheek, and said earnestly, "But that's okay, after experiencing this setback, you can gain insights that are beyond your ordinary people's reach." ”
"Master, you've also attended the Oiran Conference, why haven't you ever heard about it?" Ziyin was taken aback when she heard this, she never thought that Liu's mother, who was low-key and unattractive, would also participate in the Jiangnan Oiran Conference that only beautiful women can attend.
"Now that the teacher might as well tell you, the teacher is the purple cuckoo who was unfortunately defeated by Mrs. Hongluan at the Oiran Conference." Mother Liu smiled slightly when she heard this, lowered her voice and said to Ziyin, "As a teacher, I couldn't swallow the breath of defeat back then, and I accidentally discovered your talent and talent in music, so I worked hard to cultivate it." ”
"Alas, it seems that the will of heaven is like this, for the teacher and the Oiran have no chance, I thought I could get what I wanted, but I didn't expect that girl from Butterfly Dance to insert a kick." Saying that, Liu's mother showed a look of regret on her face, and no one would have thought that this ordinary middle-aged woman would be the same Zijuan as Hongluan back then.
"Master, where are you going to go in the future, and what do you want to do?" Ziyin suppressed the shock in her heart, and looked at Liu's mother reluctantly, she felt that she still had a lot to ask Zijuan for advice, and at the same time secretly admired Zijuan's perseverance and courage, she could pretend to be ugly in front of her for such a long time.
If Ziyin didn't guess wrong, Zijuan's current appearance must be the reason for her makeup, and her purpose was not to let others know her identity, which is why Zijuan could make Tianxiang Pavilion change her original intention and send her to fight, Zijuan was born in Tianxiang Pavilion and had a close relationship with the people of Tianxiang Pavilion.
"The teacher will come to see you." Zijuan smiled slightly, her eyes showed a gloomy look, she grew up watching Ziyin, so she had a deep affection for Ziyin.
"Master!" Ziyin knew that Zijuan had made up her mind, so she couldn't help but get up and kneel in front of Zijuan, burying her head in her arms and sobbing in a low voice.
"Alas!" Zijuan sighed, reached out and gently stroked the hair on Ziyin's head, her eyes were also red, and she didn't know if the two would have a chance to meet this time.
