Misty rain and heavy flowers accompany the king's return

"Pass the first witness!" The yamen servant shouted, and an old man in his fifties came in and knelt down: "See you, my lord!"

"Ah Fu, why are you here?" Marquis Wuxiang looked at the old man beside him in surprise. This was his servant from childhood, a few years older than him, and he had been serving him all the time.

"Master Hou, I was kicked out of the Hou's mansion. The eldest son was sick because of the doctor I secretly hired to show him." Ah Fu cried.

"Is there such a thing?" Wu Xianghou glared at his side-husband, looked at A Fu: "There is such a thing, why didn't you come and tell me?"

"I can't see Hou Ye, my eldest son, his leg was broken, and I was also threatened, Hou Ye, Ah Fu has been with you for decades, I really didn't expect such an encounter when I was old! "Ah Fu burst into tears.

"Poison woman, what's going on?" Marquis Wuxiang looked at the concubine Fufulang beside him.

"Father, don't believe what they say, there must be something wrong with them, why would Ah Mo treat elder brother like this!" Speaking of.

"My lord, this?" Marquis Wuxiang looked at Shen Luo who was sitting upright, with a sense of trust. This person who was personally trained by the emperor might know the answer.

"Pass to the second witness!" Shen Luo patted the gavel.

"Pass to the second witness!" the yamen servant shouted.

A middle-aged man walked in: "See my lord, see Lord Hou."

"Who are you?" Shen Luo asked.

"Caomin is the treasurer of Jimin Hall in the imperial capital, and my father is Xin Zifeng, the former imperial physician of the imperial hospital.

"Doctor Xin, I want to ask you, you went to Hou's mansion to treat Feng Yegang's illness, what disease did he have?" Shen Luo asked.

"The anger hits the heart, the sadness is excessive, the lung meridian is injured, and the body is weak and short of breath." Dr. Xin said a few sentences about the condition and the cause of the condition.

"When you saw him, what kind of environment was he in?" Shen Luo continued to ask.

"He lives in a dilapidated backyard in Hou's mansion. The house next to him was on fire. He lives in only two rooms, and the inside is dilapidated. He really doesn't look like the eldest son of Lord Hou." Doctor Xin said.

"It's the flower house, Fushi, you!" Marquis Wuxiang scolded angrily.

"Let's pass on the current butler of the Marquis Mansion in Wuxiang." Shen Luo said.

A man who looked like a housekeeper came over, and Shen Luo pointed out: "Marquis of Wuxiang, Mr. Lin Lin, you can ask him yourself."

Marquis Wuxiang stared angrily, the housekeeper panicked, knelt down and spilled all the things out of the bamboo tube like beans.

The onlookers talked one after another, and some said that the new Fu Yin was powerful, some called Wu Xianghou stupid, some said that Fu's vicious, and some said that Feng Yeqiao must be pretending to be stupid.

"Silent!" Shen Luo patted the gavel.

"Boom!" There was a silent drum sound, and the onlookers outside all silenced.

The rush and tension pierced through the drumbeat, slow and majestic, made the generals onlookers a little puzzled.

The coherent drumbeats are solemn and coercive. A single drumbeat is like a heavy hammer beating on the heart, which makes people dull, while the slow and continuous drumbeats are full of warning.

Cooperating with the majesty of the yamen of the main town of the imperial capital, the plaque of "law is greater than the sky" made all the officials feel like "as if I am here in person", and this person is still the "Emperor Tianfeng".

"Shame, shame!" Marquis Wuxiang lost all the arrogance he had when he came here, his eyes were full of remorse, and he looked at Shen Luo: "My lord, my family is unfortunate, how to judge depends entirely on my lord, and this Marquis is willing to bear it."

Shen Luo listened and looked at Fu's: "Fu's, I would like to ask you, what you have done may be related to Fengye Bridge."

"It's all done by the women alone, and the women are willing to bear it all, and apologize with death." Fu's head kowtowed like a chicken pounding rice: "Master Shen, please let my child go, Lord Marquis, eldest son, please let the bridge go." Bar!"

"Ah Mo!" Feng Yeqiao kowtowed to Shen Luo: "My lord, I am willing to be punished on my Ah Mo's behalf, please spare his life."

Shen Luo patted the gavel: "Feng Yeqiao, I heard that you are a student of Huangdu Tianyu College. You have a good academic record and a bright future. Today, I will ask you a question, what do you know about your father's actions? "

Feng Yeqiao kowtowed three times: "Whether you know it or not, as a son of man, how can you see your Ah Mo die? My lord, I am willing to share the same crime."

"Nizi, shut up!" Marquis of Wuxiang was annoyed by Fu Shi, who still liked the youngest son whom he had loved for many years, and couldn't help scolding.

"Marquis Wuxiang, I'm the one who decides everything in your mansion?" Shen Luo asked.

"Yes!" Marquis Wuxiang lowered his head, "But it's up to the adults to decide."

Shen Luo looked at Feng Yegang: "Feng Yegang, what about you?"

"Your Excellency is just and fair, not afraid of powerful people, it's up to you to make decisions." Feng Ye just kowtowed and said.

"Okay!" Shen Luo patted the gavel: "Feng Yeqiao, if you want to save your father, you will lose the right to inherit the Hou Mansion, are you willing?"

Feng Yeqiao kowtowed: "I am willing."

"My son!" Fushi looked at her son and couldn't help crying.

"The youngest son is not guilty, Marquis of Wuxiang. If you deal with Fushi, or even give him a chance to reform, your youngest son will not be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life. Human life is like a flick of a finger, and human favors that pass by in a hurry Like the light of day, it is impossible to grasp. But if the world does not know how to forgive others, then the world will be as decisive as purgatory." Shen Luo's words were touching.

"Feng Yeqiao, the government thinks you are a young talent, so you are allowed to leave the house and live in the imperial capital with 10 taels of money." Shen Luo said.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" Fushi kowtowed in thanks.

"Fushi, you are exempt from capital crimes, but living crimes are inevitable. This government sentences you to copy the full set of three volumes of "Walking to Life" every month for the main owner of the Hou Mansion. After copying every month, you must send it to the government office for ten years without interruption. Would you like to?"

Fushi closed her eyes and shed tears: "Yes, I am willing to make amends!"

"Feng Yegang, your son sued his father, it is treasonous. This government thinks that you are the reputation of Zhou Quanwu Township Marquis Mansion, who protects the family's glory, and exempts you from punishment. You are smart and smart, and you will have a bright future in the future. I advise you You, far-sighted, repay grievances with virtue, can you agree?"

Feng Ye just kowtowed: "Students remember the adults' teachings, thank you Master Qingtian!"

Shen Luo looked at Marquis Wuxiang: "Marquis Wuxiang, get up, your palms and backs are full of flesh, are you willing to accept the verdict?"

Marquis Wuxiang stood up: "Thank you Lord Shen, I am convinced!"

Shen Luo nodded: "Master Hou, the last persuasion from the government is that the husband and wife are from the same ferry. Even if Fu's fault, if Feng Yegang can forgive him and Fu's repentance is appropriate, you still have to take care of your friendship."

Marquis Wuxiang looked at Shen Luo, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Mr. Shen. Thank you for making me your friend!" After finishing speaking, he took Feng Yegang out together.

Shen Luo looked at Feng Yeqiao and the grateful Fu Shi, and slapped the gavel: "Retire!"

"Leave the hall!" While the yamen servants were singing and drinking, three drums rang, and the two groups of yamen servants left and left.

Emperor Qianyuan showed his head from behind his attendants: "Come on, let's go to the back and have a cup of tea!"

Shen Luo sat down, his buttocks were still not stable, Guoyue came to report: "My lords, my lords are here."

"My lords?" Shen Luo stood up, and saw Emperor Qianyuan and the others walking in together.

"See the emperor!" Shen Luo saluted.

Emperor Qianyuan sat down with a laugh, and took a few important officials to sit down together: "Today's trial is very exciting. I never thought that being the governor of the imperial capital can be so happy. You said that I am the king of the county." , scared the hell out of me."

Many people looked at Shen Luo and smiled, to see how he accepted Emperor Qianyuan's lukewarm move.

Shen Luo took out the law code that he carried with him, and turned to the note on the small stone: "It was drawn by the small stone."

"Oh?" Emperor Qianyuan looked at it with a smile, and sighed after reading it: "After hearing the plaque you mentioned, I just remembered that the ancestor of our Dafeng, Emperor Tianfeng, was such a heroic figure. Taking it all into consideration, how important the Governor of the Imperial Capital is, how many people don't know the existence of this law, so it can be seen that they were not wronged at all when they were dismissed."

Guowei couldn't help looking at Shen Luo: "Why did you finally pronounce the sentence like this today?"

"The law is nothing more than human feelings. After all, it is the matter of Lord Hou's family. It is much better for their family to get back together than revenge."

"En!" Yun Changkong and the others nodded.

"That's right, you've done a good start. I hope you can bring a little breeze to the imperial capital, and you can also bring fairness and justice without fear of the powerful!" Emperor Qianyuan was satisfied, watched a good show, and went back to the palace leisurely up.

After the trial was over, many noble mansions really didn't dare to provoke Shen Luo at will.

On the contrary, the common people became enthusiastic about finding him for revenge. In order to cope with the shortage, Shen Luo decided to restructure the subordinate yamen of the imperial capital.

"There is a yamen in each of the four cities, and there are two counties under it. All the cases where the crime occurred are sent to the yamen under the jurisdiction first. If anyone refuses to accept the trial, he can go to the yamen of the main town to seek justice. Once it is found that it is a grievance For false and wrong cases, the officials who belong to them will be dismissed immediately, don't blame the government for not calling in advance." Shen Luo looked at the four newly appointed Daotai and the magistrates of two counties under his subordinates.

"Follow your lord's order!" They came into contact with the strength of Shen Luo's methods.

"Recently, many people have said that when it comes to dealing with the affairs of each yamen they belong to, they have to go to the exclusive yamen. For example, the tax, the journey from the south city to the north city is not far!" Back home, Xiao Shitou pulled Shen Luo and said, He is now in charge of collecting public grievances for Shen Luo, and he has to tell Shen Luo many things every day.

"Then how do you think about it?" Shen Luo asked curiously.

"Integrating the yamen of the four cities, everything can be done in the yamen of the four cities, and important matters can also be directly subordinated to the yamen, which improves the efficiency of handling affairs." Xiao Shitou said.

"Well, that's a good idea." Shen Luo praised.

Little Shitou pulled Shen Luo: "Good idea, can there be a reward?"

Shen Luo smiled lightly: "What reward do you want?"

"Well, sir, can you find me to do it? Send someone to look for them, I miss him." Xiao Shitou said.

Shen Luo sighed: "There are so many people, it's really not easy to find two people, I'll think of a way!"

"Your Majesty, do you think Shen Luo will make enemies if he handles the case like this?" The three kings and the two prime ministers discussed matters together today in the Phoenix Hall. When it comes to the recent establishment of yamen in the four cities of the imperial capital, everyone is talking about it.

In order to avoid suspicion, Ci Wenhao did not communicate with Shen Luo recently, and the counselor of the Wangfu Xing Nuo did not comment too much on Shen Luo's recent emergence. After all, according to the news from Fenzhou, Yun Mo had already disposed of a group of officials.

Everyone who knows the details is guessing, where is the double-edged sword that Emperor Qianyuan is playing this time, and where is the point of the sword's edge?

"There is no censor to join him. It seems that his actions are well-known among the people." Emperor Qianyuan said.

"That's true, his official voice is very good." Bailiyu said.

"That's how it is. After all, we are different from what young people think. In a lifetime, who has never been a teenager, and who has never been impulsive? I remember that in the 13th year of Qianyuan, there was a small friction between Tuna and us. The third brother also asked for an order to go out!" Emperor Qianyuan looked at King Yue and smiled.

The King of Yue also chuckled: "Yeah, when I was young, I wanted to ride a horse on the battlefield and expand the territory for the country. I also worshiped several masters and learned how to ride horses and archery, haha!"

"I went to Yumayuan, saying that I wanted to beat a blind man out, but was beaten up by my father." Prince Qi also revealed his truth with a smile.

Everyone laughed and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Shen Luo, who didn't know that his ruling was overshadowed by a word, was discussing matters with Jin Hua, the chief envoy of Gongzai Yamen in the imperial capital, and he was also inspecting Gongzai Yamen today.

It became a routine to inspect one place a day, and dealt with a few small officials who did not act. Although Shen Luo's methods were not extreme, they were not good. This was the evaluation of many subordinates.

"There are many waterlogged places in the city, and they will be flooded every time there is a heavy rain. Basically, the poorer the place, the more waterlogged." Jinhua, in his forties, is Bailiyu's protégé. When Shen Luo took office, he even went to ask his teacher about it. asked.

After knowing the relationship between the young master and Shen Luo, he was relieved.

Shen Luo arranged for Nie Xingfeng to be a spy for a period of time, to inquire in various people's houses, to see their factions, and has already gained a certain amount, at least he knows which ones are greedy for ink.

He doesn't pursue the obsession with cleanliness where there are no fish when the water is clear, and he doesn't believe that the world is either black or white. It is impossible for officials who are greedy for ink to completely eradicate it, but it depends on a degree.

Those who are greedy for work do not need to be eradicated, but reserved.If you are greedy and don't do anything, you have to be careful and take it out at any time to make an example of others.If you are greedy and do bad things, then don't blame him for being quick and ruthless.

"The construction of the drainage system is a matter of great importance. The fire prevention of the whole city is also related to the reconstruction of wooden houses. All of these require money and planning." Shen Luo looked at the map and said.

"Renovation of the wooden house, how many 10 people are locked up? My lord, if you want to do this, it will be a matter of great merit." Jinhua said sincerely.

"The land is all private, and it needs to be rebuilt before and after. Don't even think about it if you don't have a million dollars." Shen Luo got a headache when he thought about it: "We have to start from Nancheng first."

When Jinhua heard this, he said, "Speaking of the construction of the culverts of the drainage system, I know a man who is a scholar. He is a granary student in Yuanfang Village, 25 miles away from the imperial capital under our jurisdiction. I supervised a boy a few years ago. After seeing his answer sheet, this person is not very talented, but he made some suggestions on civil engineering, so the subordinate officials appointed him as a janitor."

"Oh, can I read his paper?" Shen Luo became interested.

"I have it right here, my lord, wait a moment." Jinhua asked someone to find it.

After a while, I found a paper.

Shen Luo took a look, the handwriting was average, the grammar was nonsense, but the content was unusual.

"The method of dredging drainage channels in the imperial capital." Shen Luo read it: "Tomorrow, I will go to Yuanfang Village and meet this scholar in person."
