Chapter 49: The Court

The unique dull drum sound of the whistlebrating drum sounded on the Sanli Long Street, not only awakening the sleeping people, but also sat up Zhang Yan, who was sleeping soundly in the back yamen.

With his hand on the edge of the couch, Zhang Yan was a little confused. He hadn't heard the sound of the injustice for a while, and he was confused and hadn't understood what was going on. If it weren't for the servant outside the door reporting the letter, Zhang Yan would have probably had to wonder for a while.

"I want the people of Hongzhou to live in peace, merchants and businesses are happy, all industries are prosperous, and neighbors are harmonious. Where do you want to extend the grievances?"

Zhang Yan never forgot to praise himself when he was dressing and hating, but his face was not very good when he went out.

He is sleepy.

If it weren't for the sound of the injustice, he would have slept until he woke up naturally, and then he would have a full schedule of a day, listening to music, watching operas, reciting poems and essays, and finally calling friends to drink and drink, and the day would have passed.

Anyway, there are all major and minor affairs in Hongzhou City, so it is not his turn to worry about it.

But now it is not possible. As soon as the injustice sounds, he, the local parent official, has to show up to deal with it. The process of being about to go through is finally going to leave.

"Who is the one who complains about the injustice?"

The back yamen was not short from the court. Zhang Yan asked his master Fan Jun during the journey. The latter quickly took the aphorism and organized the language in his mouth.

"Cao Degui, the injustice, and several local merchants from our Hongzhou, were also sued Luo Yongsheng, the shopkeeper of Yongsheng's business, for committing fraud."

Zhang Yan, who was walking, stopped and frowned slightly. The official business he was most afraid of was the junk between the businessmen.

Since ancient times, many treacherous and cunning people in business, and those who spit out lotus flowers on each other's mouths were limited, so it was the most difficult to judge in court.

"I am familiar with Cao Degui. His in-laws are in the Zheng Cao Zhanfang, right?" Zhang Yan found out the truth without asking about the case: "What about Luo Yongsheng, what about family background?"

Fan Jun suddenly realized and smiled: "According to his own account, he came from Dingzhou to the south, pretending to be quite deep, but according to Cao Degui, he probably pulled the tiger's skin as a banner and pretended to be a fake handkerchief.

Last night, Cao Degui's son Cao Xian sent someone to take him down and now he is locked in the prison cell of the North Prison."

"I haven't passed the court yet, whoever is sure will take the person."

Zhang Yan was a little unhappy, but then he suddenly realized: "This Luo Yongsheng has no fame or fame?"

"No."

It turned out to be a white-bodied Guizhou leader.

Zhang Yan felt completely at ease. At this moment, he had a problem with how to judge the case, but he didn't show it on his face and said, "Then let's go through the court, and I will handle it impartially."

The two of them passed through the corridor and walked into the court. Before Zhang Yan could settle down, a yamen run inside quickly outside the hall. Such morality made Zhang Yan frown very dissatisfied.

"What a moral character for Zhang Huang to be in trouble."

The yamen runner was scolded and restrained a little, but his tone was still anxious.

"Report to the Lord of the Hall, General Hou, the delegation envoy is here."

Zhang Yan, who was just old god scolding the yamen runners, was also stunned at this moment.

What is that guy Hou Bingzhong here?

The Song Dynasty has always been a gentleman in literature and nobles, and the court has always been very careful about military officers, so military officers dare not and will not interfere in civil servants' affairs.

"Please quickly."

Although I don’t know what I want, I should be etiquette in my face.

"The last general Hou Bingzhong, met the emperor of the court."

Hou Bingzhong was a man in his forties. He was tall and wide, but he was wearing not armor but military robes. This made Zhang Yan feel much more at ease. He was afraid that Hou Bingzhong would come to cause trouble.

"Haha, General Hou is so polite. Please sit down quickly, please sit down quickly."

Zhang Yan stood up and returned the gift, and at the same time reached out to attract Hou Bingzhong, but the latter sighed.

"Oh, I'm going to send my nephew to the yamen, so I have no face to sit down."

This sentence was speechless, which made Zhang Yan slightly stunned and said with a smile: "What is General Hou saying? Ling Nephew has not been studying hard at home and is a famous talented man in Hongzhou. He will go to Beijing for scientific research next year, so where did he say he would send him to the yamen?"

"It's not my eldest and second nephews, but my unscrupulous little nephew, Hou Qi."

Hou Bingzhong shook his head helplessly: "This little bastard actually conspired with others on my back and made tens of thousands of yuan by selling the shares of Yongsheng Shop. He told me that it was legally earned, but with his ability, he could make so much money. I was worried that he would not break the law, so I brought it up and wanted to ask the Tang Zun to help me judge it. If he broke the law, what should he do?"

What a good Hou Bingzhong. Although he was a military officer, he said this very well. He only said that Hou San earned too much. He suspected that he had violated the law and asked Zhang Yan to make a judgment on his behalf.

In this case, as the situation develops, Hou Bingzhong can remove Hou San at any time.

If the lawsuit can be won, it means that it is not illegal. The money is all the legal income of Hou San. If you find that you cannot win, you will throw all the dirty water on Luo Yongsheng, saying that you were deceived by Luo Yongsheng. In addition, there is a surrender, with the face of his Hou family in Hongzhou, you will never be punished too ruthlessly.

Zhang Yan did not say anything, but looked at Fan Jun with a frown, a little dissatisfied.

That means, why does this case involve people from the Hou family?

The master who was glaring at him was also distressed. He was not able to calculate the calculations. Cao Degui and others also said that he would only sue Luo Yongsheng, but he did not mention Hou San.

But Zhang Yan stared at him, but he didn't dare to say anything, and he responded after a change of mind.

"General Hou, what do you say? The three nephews and young masters in Zun's mansion are all gentlemen with a reputation in our Hongzhou City. How could they do illegal things? I guess you thought too much. But since you have already come, please come and go over the hall and tell the money you earned from the beginning. Tang Zun checks you for your peace of mind."

"That's really hard to honor the church."

Hou Bingzhong bowed to Zhang Yan again, and the latter didn't have to be polite to him. He found a seat on both sides of the hall, swayed his robe and sat down in a convenient way.

Zhang Yan had no objection to this. He just planned to hold the auspicious hall in his hand, and another yamen runner came in outside the hall, saying that Li Jun, the chief clerk of the Zheng Cao, was looking for entry outside the yamen.

And Li Jun is Cao Degui's in-laws.

In this drama, visitors from all walks of life gathered together.

Zhang Yan had no choice but to see him, so he could only send the yamen runners to invite people in.

"The lower official met the old minister."

Even though the Six Caos were in charge of the Governor's Office, they were nominally an office under the Governor's Office. Zhang Yan was Li Jun's iron boss, so Zhang Yan just nodded slightly to Li Jun's greetings without returning the gift.

"Zhiheng comes here, what's the matter?"

Li Jun smiled slightly and said, "Reporting to the Lord of the Tang Dynasty, it just happened that a fraud case between merchants occurred in Hongzhou, our company. The fraud methods and methods were quite novel. As the chief clerk of the Zheng Cao, Xia Guan wanted to understand the origin and end of the case, and had written all the documents and sent them to the Ministry of Justice, which was used for Hanlin to compile the Criminal Law Collection."

"Since that's the case, then Zhiheng will sit."

"Thank you, Master."

After bowing the court, Li Jun smiled at Hou Bingzhong in the hall again: "General Hou is here too."

It’s a pity that Hou Bingzhong is not Zhang Yan, but he didn’t pay attention to Li Jun’s greeting at all, which made the latter a little embarrassed.

A small chief clerk of the Six Caos is not worthy of saying hello to the group training envoy.

Zhang Yan just pretended that this little episode was invisible, and he slapped the arbor and said.

"In front of the three yamen, I will send a drum beater to the hall."

Kill the powerful and baton, this drama will officially open.
