Liu Wangshu handed over an unopened candied haws wrapped in glutinous rice paper.
The old woman subconsciously pulled her granddaughter back. Grandfather and grandson were not familiar with each other in the capital, so they were not willing to accept food from strangers.
But when the old woman saw Liu Wangshu's appearance clearly, she was stunned for a moment subconsciously.
Has the fairy in the sky fallen into the mortal world?!
Yaya also walked out from behind the old woman, pulled the old woman's clothes and said timidly.
"Sister, you are so beautiful!"
Liu Wangshu looked at the little girl and smiled brightly, and the sunlight seemed to soften a bit.
The old woman also lowered her guard. Such a woman could not have any ill intentions towards their grandparents and grandchildren. There was nothing worth coveting in them.
Yaya took the candied haws from Liu Wangshu's hand, "Thank you, sister!"
Liu Wangshu looked at the clothes of the two people and said to the noodle stall owner beside him.
"Boss, cook me two bowls of noodles and add two more pieces of stewed meat!"
Then he turned to the old woman and Yaya and said, "We are destined to meet each other. Let me treat you to some noodles!"
The old woman wanted to refuse, but after thinking that there were not many copper coins left in her purse, she finally agreed.
"Thank you so much, girl!"
Yang Qingyuan on the side also came over with Zhou Zhiruo, "Let's have some noodles together! I happen to be hungry too! The boss will give me three more bowls of noodles!"
Liu Wangshu introduced him to his grandfather and grandson, "These two are my friends. You two don't mind eating together!"
The old woman looked at Yang Qingyuan and Zhou Zhiruo's demeanor and waved her hands hurriedly, "Don't you dare! I'm afraid that my dirty body might disturb a few noble people!"
Yang Qingyuan and Zhou Zhiruo also sat down at the table.
As soon as the hot noodles came up, Yaya took a gulp of saliva, but she still didn't eat it directly. Instead, she waited until all the noodles were ready. After Yang Qingyuan and the other two picked up the chopsticks, Yaya carefully picked up the chopsticks.
!
"Eat! Eat!"
After Yang Qingyuan and others started eating, the old woman and Yaya also started eating!
The old woman glanced at Yaya who was devouring her food heartily, took a piece of meat from her own bowl and put it into Yaya's bowl.
Yaya, who was eating noodles, was stunned for a moment when she saw her grandma sandwiching the meat. She rolled her eyes and said softly, "Grandma, this meat is too fat! Yaya doesn't like it! Why don't you throw it away?"
Bar!"
Upon hearing this, the old woman immediately reprimanded, "What nonsense are you talking about?! This is what someone invited us to eat, so we can't waste it!"
Then he turned to Yang Qingyuan and the others and said, "My lord, please forgive me. This girl is not usually so squeamish. Maybe she hasn't eaten meat for a long time!"
Yaya stopped the chopsticks in her hands and whispered pitifully, "But Yaya just doesn't like eating!"
The old woman had no choice but to fish out a few pieces of fat meat from Yaya's bowl. Such oil and water were rare for her, so of course she couldn't waste it.
However, Yang Qingyuan and the others could see that when the old woman lowered her head to eat the noodles, Yaya looked at the meat in the bowl, swallowed again, and then continued to eat the noodles.
Liu Wangshu on the side greeted the boss, "Boss, the little girl doesn't like fat meat, could you please add some ribs to her."
"Okay! One portion of pork ribs!"
The old woman obviously hesitated again, but thinking of her granddaughter, she did not refuse and just said, "It's a waste of money for the three nobles!"
Yaya is just a child after all. After adding a portion of pork ribs, she was even more happy with her meal!
By tea time, the five of us had finished eating the noodles.
Just as the old woman was thanking her, Yang Qingyuan asked.
"It looks like grandma doesn't look like a local?! Where did she come from?! What do you mean by coming to the capital?!"
The old woman looked at Yang Qingyuan and the three of them and sighed softly!
"The old woman is originally from Wannian County. She came to the capital to avenge her grievances!"
"Justice?!"
When Yang Qingyuan heard the old woman's words, his expression became solemn.
"Can you tell me what grievances Grandma has? I also have a few friends among the Dharma Masters in the capital! Maybe they can help!?"
When the old woman heard Yang Qingyuan's words, her eyes lit up.
"Do you really mean what you said?!"
"What reason do I have to lie to grandma?!"
He really has many friends in various legal departments, such as Wei Donglai, the Minister of Punishment, Li Xunhuan, the Yushi of Zuoqiandu, etc.
Dazhou people don’t lie to Dazhou people!
After letting out a long sigh, the old woman spoke.
"It's not the old woman who is wronged, but the old woman's son, Yaya's father, who is unjustly wronged!"
As she spoke, the old woman took out a cloth bag from the inner pocket of her arms, opened it, and took out a piece of paper!
"This is the petition that the old lady asked someone to write on her behalf!"
Yang Qingyuan took the paper and read it carefully.
Although the complaint was vaguely written, Yang Qingyuan could generally understand the facts of the case.
The son of an old woman was sentenced to death by beheading for committing murder, adultery and robbery.
The old woman refused to accept the case and believed that she had been wronged. However, the local county government rejected the old woman's request for a retrial on the grounds that the case was clear and the evidence was conclusive.
The old woman was not angry, so she brought her granddaughter and came to complain.
After Yang Qingyuan read it, he handed the complaint in his hand to Zhou Zhiruo and Liu Wangshu.
"Brother Yang! Don't you care about this?!"
Yang Qingyuan shook his head, "For major local cases, the Ministry of Punishment will try and authorize the trial or review. Dali Temple only has the right to review. If a beheading sentence has been proposed, it means that the case has already gone through the review process of Dali Temple!"
Although the old woman on the side did not understand the procedure Yang Qingyuan said, she also knew that she had really met a noble person!
"The old woman has already gone to the Yamen in Beijing! They said that this matter is not their responsibility."
Yang Qingyuan nodded, "Grandma should be going to Jingzhao Mansion. Although they have jurisdiction over the counties in Gyeonggi Province, such major cases are probably under the jurisdiction of dedicated personnel from the Ministry of Punishment, and they have no right to intervene!"
"Then what should we do?!" Liu Wangshu on the side asked.
"Dare you ask grandma what your last name is!?"
"Old lady Li Tang," the old woman said quickly.
Yang Qingyuan handed the petition back to Granny Li, "Granny Li, you can take this petition to the Ministry of Punishment office and apply to the Ministry of Punishment for a retrial of this case!"
"Thank you for your advice!" Granny Li said as she knelt down. She had been in the capital for three days and had submitted papers everywhere but was rejected everywhere. Now that someone is willing to teach her, she feels extremely grateful.
Just when Grandma Li was about to kneel down with Yaya, she suddenly felt a breeze blowing by, and it seemed that there was a force holding the two of them up, making them unable to kneel down no matter what.
Zhou Zhiruo stepped forward to help the two of them up and said softly, "There is no need to perform such a big ceremony!"
Yang Qingyuan took out a token from his sleeve.
"Wang Shu! This is my token, plus the famous post I gave you that day. With this, you can take grandma to the Ministry of Punishment to inquire about the case!"
"What about you?! Won't you come with us?!"
Liu Wangshu was puzzled.
"All major cases of the Ministry of Punishment must be reviewed by Dali Temple. Zhiruo and I went back to Dali Temple to check the review records of this case!"
