Going to Beijing to sue the officials

Zhou Pan was sitting in a swaying sedan chair, drowsy, when the sedan suddenly stopped, Zhou Pan leaned forward uncontrollably and almost fell out.

"Damn you! Butler, what's wrong with you! Get out of here!"

As soon as Zhou Pan lifted the sedan curtain, his hand as big as a cattail leaf fan was about to slap the steward in the face. The steward immediately knelt down, trembling and dared not say a word.

Before he fanned anyone, he first saw several thin backs, sections of dark necks sticking out from the blue homespun clothes, and then the lowest ones, the backs of their heads.

Those wearing green turbans are probably men, and those with hair in buns are probably women.

Judging from the position, it seemed that this person was the one who rushed out, knelt down and stopped the sedan, and then silently blocked the road.

Their clothes are all covered with a layer of earth color. Even the original blue earthen cloth clothes have been mended and patched again and again.

The hems, elbows and cuffs, which are places that cannot be taken into consideration, are all fluffy and curled.

They were kneeling in silence like this, like silent tombs.

The third prince Zhou Pan also felt unlucky. He didn't want to cause trouble for them. He was about to ask people to take a detour when suddenly a "tomb" raised its head and shouted in a hoarse voice:

"My lord, please help us! We, the people, have sued the officials all the way to the capital. We are really desperate!"

Zhou Pan said angrily: "If you have a grievance, go to Jing Zhaoyin. If it doesn't work, just beat the drum. What's the point of blocking my prince's sedan chair?"

The woman went on to say: "We came to the capital from eastern Guizhou and entered the yamen of so many magistrates, counties and prefectures. We can't even count them.

Scholars from the same town told the women that the Ministry of Punishment was the place that had the highest authority over the world's prisons of injustice. But the women looked at the tables in the lobby of the Ministry of Punishments that were higher than those of the women, and the bird on the officer's bright red clothes seemed to be glaring at people from a distance.

Later, the common people at the emperor's feet told the women of the people that the princes who came to see the emperor were all the children of the Holy One. They were as considerate of the people as the Holy One, and they were the most sympathetic to us ordinary people."

Zhou Pan rolled his eyes, the Criminal Department was in charge of the old man, he might be able to make a big fuss this time.

But after suffering too many losses, he finally gained a new perspective: "Do you know which prince I am?"

"A common woman doesn't know which prince your noble man is."

"Then how did you know that I am the prince? Who asked you to stop me?"

The woman didn't say anything, but pointed to the canopy and flags on Zhou Pan's sedan. Even a blind person could tell that this was not an ordinary person.

Zhou Pan opened his mouth but said nothing. It seemed that his arrogant behavior really needed to change.

Then Zhou Pan rolled his eyes, pretended to help these people up, and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"This is natural. My father-in-law is the most benevolent king in history. If you have any grievances, you can tell me.

Even if the person who committed the crime is an emperor or nobleman or a noble person, he will be severely punished if he violates the law! Killing people to pay debts and paying back money is an ancient rule! People, don't you think so?"

***

"Killing people to pay debts and paying back money is an ancient rule! People, don't you think so?"

Immediately, people gathered around to watch for a long time. The people who had already been incited were furious and clapped their hands and applauded continuously.

Du Heng was in the teahouse on the second floor opposite, watching all this with an expressionless face: Zhou Pan still has a short memory, and the royal family has lost face and he will have to eat and die sooner or later.

But what he would like to see is to make the matter loud enough for everyone in the city to know that it cannot be settled.

Du Heng looked at the silent parents who had come all the way to complain to the officials. It was the hottest time in Beijing right now, and these people looked like they would collapse at any time due to lack of energy.

Nowadays, Zhou Pan only cares about making things bigger, and never pretends to be fake.

He himself was shaded from the sun under the canopy, and others were fanning him, without caring about the heat of others.

I spent a lot of money to hire an escort to secretly protect them when they entered Beijing. I tried to take care of as many as possible. From now on, it still depends on them.

But right now, I still need to help where I can.

Zhou Panzheng listened with great interest and became more and more interested.

The Ministry of Punishment itself is in charge of Lao Ba, and Fei Lu is Lao Ba's man. In this case, Lao Ba can't even think about getting out of the situation completely!

The people around him were filled with indignation. Under the emperor's rule, such shocking things could happen!

Fei Lu, the eunuch who guards Guizhou, is the godfather of the little noble son who grew up with the eighth prince.

In those years, before Fei Lu left Beijing, the eighth prince Zhou Si treated him with great courtesy and secretly bought him a lot of land and a house in Fei Lu's hometown.

Corporal Li Xian, the "Eight Wise Kings", did not even spare an eunuch. This was a joke in the eyes of Lin Zhijun's grandfather, Mr. Lin.

Fei Lu has been in Guizhou in the past few years, and he probably showed a lot of filial piety to the Eighth Prince. These two people are just like a nest of snakes and rats, and now they have done things that are outrageous to both humans and gods.

Just last year, Fei Lu took advantage of the terrain to capture and buy more than 1,500 Miao children, castrate them and present them to the court;

However, castration is inherently risky, and it is performed in places with poor conditions and by people who are not skilled in the technology.

At first, as many as 300 young children died from excessive blood loss and pain;

Later, Fei Lu continued to purchase and plunder, using new ones to make up for the dead. Nearly two thousand children were brutally murdered, and 20% of them died.

His actions in Guizhou have long aroused the wrath of heaven and earth.

Some of these two thousand children were bought from poor families with money, some were tricked by their parents into selling them to rich families as pedagogues, and some were kidnapped by people hired for money.

In the later stage, people from the government were sent to snatch people away without even spending any money.

Two thousand children, that is, two thousand pairs of parents. Some of them filed lawsuits all the way from the county to the government. As expected, they encountered obstacles at every turn.

Hence, the Sheng metaphor of "understanding the lower feelings" came into being. Sheng Sheng received the letter.

Although Du Heng didn't know what connection the Eighth Prince had with Sheng Yusheng, since he chose not to report it, there must be some conspiracy involving him and Sheng Yusheng.

Sheng Yusheng and Du Shengping have a good relationship, and they move around frequently. The two families are also related by marriage, so it is very easy to alert the enemy if they don't start with Du Shengping.

So Du Heng set his sights on the third prince Zhou Pan. He was brainless and hated Zhou Si extremely. He was naturally happy to see such things as internal fighting.

While Zhou Pan was listening with excitement, the waiter at the teahouse next to him came down knowingly and walked from a distance, and the fragrance of Longjing wafted up.

Zhou Pan was enjoying the experience and said that their tea was really good and he would come here often in the future.

The waiter was so flattered that even the shopkeeper, who had been watching from a distance, came to express his gratitude in person.

Then, for the sake of the third prince, they all served tea and snacks to each of the Miao people, and then those people knelt down and thanked the third prince.

Zhou Pan nodded, this teahouse owner is a good person.

Only the waiter who was serving tea passed by the woman who spoke and looked her over: her whole body was lifeless, and only her eyes seemed to have some life.

The way he stared at one spot seemed as if his eyes were burning with endless hellfire, wanting to drag everything in sight into hell.

But what he exudes is ice-like sight that can freeze people.

In her dark eyes, there was an endless night wasteland, a floating void, and an endless hell of unknown depths.

It was a hot day, but the waiter had goosebumps all over his body, until he asked Amitabha to help this woman find her child as soon as possible.
