The man was in his thirties, with a dignified appearance and a tall stature, which made the black donkey he was holding look a little dapper.
“The person you just stopped was Shuntian Prefecture Yin. The Shuntian Prefecture Yamen is not far away. Why don’t you go to the Yamen?”
Zhu Xiaoyue looked up, her tearful eyes full of helplessness: "I...I'm afraid that I won't be able to get out if I go to the Yamen..."
The girl in He Yushi's eyes is very thin, but not in a frail and thin way. She is like a tree, slender but showing toughness.
“What does the girl want to sue?”
Zhu Xiaoyue tightened her hand holding the paper, her eyes full of expectation: "Are you also Mr. Qingtian?"
He Yushi shook his head slightly: "I am not the great master of Qingtian, I am a public official."
Among the crowd watching the excitement, someone kindly reminded: "Young girl is from out of town, right? Our public officials in the capital are very powerful. If you have any grievances, just go to this gentleman."
Zhu Xiaoyue hesitated for a moment, then raised the paper in front of Yushi He with both hands: "Your Excellency, please take a look."
He Yushi took the paper, and his expression became more and more serious the more he looked at it. When he finished reading the paper, his eyes looked different when he looked at Zhu Xiaoyue.
What is written on this paper is simply unbelievable and shocking!
Various comments reached the ears of Yushi He: "This girl wants to sue the imperial envoy for disaster relief. Aren't the imperial envoys for disaster relief His Royal Highness King Qing and Minister Pei?"
King Qing and others had made great contributions in disaster relief. When they came back, the people in the capital lined the streets to welcome them. The few Ten Thousand People Umbrellas were discussed for a long time. Gai Yin's disaster relief heroes entered the city with great fanfare and left a deep impression on the people.
“What’s going on with the massacre of the people? Aren’t His Highness Prince Qing and others going to provide disaster relief?”
“Didn’t that person just read out the petition and kill everyone in the town for the sake of greed for ink and money...”
“It must be nonsense!”
“That’s not necessarily true. There are many officials who are domineering and domineering...”
He Yushi made a prompt decision: "Girl, please go with me."
“I—” Zhu Xiaoyue hesitated, looking uneasy.
Yu Shi He understood the worries of the girl in front of him and revealed his identity: "My official surname is He, and I am appointed as the censor by the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Someone exclaimed: "I've heard of He Yushi. He Yushi is a good official! Last year, there was a government official who molested a good girl. The girl was humiliated and threw herself into the river. Her family had no way to sue the official. It was He Yushi who impeached him..."
Zhu Xiaoyue no longer hesitated: "Follow the adults, daughter of the people."
He Yushi took the little donkey and took Zhu Xiaoyue to the Shuntian Mansion Yamen.
The people watching the excitement followed and saw the two people entering the Yamen, gathering not far away and discussing enthusiastically.
Soon after Shuntian Prefecture Yin entered the hall, he heard a report from his subordinates that Yushi He had brought a girl to report the case, so he hurriedly went to the lobby.
"It's you." Recognizing Zhu Xiaoyue as the person who stopped the sedan chair to complain, Shuntian Prefecture Yin looked at He Yushi with doubts in his eyes, "He Yushi, do you know this woman?"
In front of Shuntian Prefecture Yin, He Yushi looked even more serious: "I don't know you. On the way here, I met this woman who was complaining about injustice, so I came with her. I wanted to hear about her grievances."
Shuntianfu Yin suddenly felt a headache when he heard this.
Who among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty didn't know that He Yushiguan was not a big man and had a bad temper. He was just as smelly and stubborn as the black donkey he rode every day, and he only made trouble for others.
Those who are targeted by Yushi He are often embarrassed, but this stinky stone has a reputation with the emperor, which makes people have to be afraid.
Shuntian Prefecture Yin had to look at Zhu Xiaoyue: "Who is your surname, where are you from, and who do you want to sue?" Zhu Xiaoyue knelt down and choked up: "My daughter's surname is Zhu, her maiden name is Xiaoyue, she comes from Taiping, Beiquan County, Dingbei Town. The women of the people sued King Qing, the imperial envoy for disaster relief, and Minister Pei—"
Shuntian Prefecture Yin's expression changed, and he interrupted Zhu Xiaoyue: "Bold, do you know that His Highness Prince Qing is a prince?"
Zhu Xiaoyue raised her head with a stubborn look on her face: "The people's daughter knows that the person she is suing is the second prince, His Highness Prince Qing!"
Shuntian Prefecture Yin's face turned dark. Even if He Yushi was present, he couldn't wait to get rid of this hot potato: "Cases involving the royal family are under the management of the Clan Renfu, and I have no right to interfere. Since you have limited knowledge, I will not pursue the case. You Let’s go!”
If there was no censor He, the unruly people who dared to sue the prince would have to go to jail first.
He Yushi said calmly: "Master Tian, Miss Zhu is also suing Pei Zuo, the Minister of Household Affairs. You should at least take a look at the paper."
Shuntian Prefecture Yin Yishou.
This stinky stone, it’s not enough for him to jump into the pit, he has to splash other people’s shit!
Taking a deep breath to suppress the urge to turn his face, Shuntian Fuyin said in a deep voice: "Send the paper up."
A government official took the paper from Zhu Xiaoyue's hand and presented it to Shuntian Prefecture Yin.
Even though he was mentally prepared for a lot of trouble, Shuntian Fuyin was still shocked after reading the petition.
Massacre the whole town? If this is true, if this is true - Overly shocked, Shuntian Fu Yin shook his hand and the paper fell to the ground.
After a short pause, Shuntian Prefecture Yin suddenly came to his senses and stared at the kneeling girl: "Bold daughter of the people, do you know that slandering the prince and the court official is a crime that can be executed by the whole family?"
Zhu Xiaoyue raised her head with a sad smile on her face: "The whole family of civilian girls and all the villagers in the town were killed by the swords of the officers and soldiers. Not even the infants could escape. Even if the whole family was to be executed, who else could be killed?"
“So you dare to talk nonsense?” Yin Duduo of Shuntian Prefecture asked.
At this moment, Zhu Xiaoyue completely understood Xinyou’s arrangement.
If she foolishly went to the government to file a complaint and ran into any yamen, she would probably face this kind of official, right?
“Every word written on the petition is true. If a girl tells a lie, her soul will fly away and she will never be reincarnated!”
The girl's loud and vicious oaths echoed in the hall, and the officials in the hall changed their expressions.
At this time, most people believed in oaths. If this woman dared to swear such a vicious oath, I'm afraid what the petition said—
How could Shuntian Prefecture really trust King Qing and others, but once he was involved in such a revealing case, he might be dismissed from office, or even lose his head.
Just as he was about to push it further, He Yushi spoke: "One person's words cannot prove anything."
“Yes—” Shuntianfu Yin almost burst into tears.
"Miss Zhu is the plaintiff. It is said that the defendant should be confronted in court, and the first defendant is His Royal Highness Prince Qing, and the second is the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The affairs of the Tianjia are under the management of the Zongren Mansion. As a high-ranking official in the court, Pei Shilang is the direct successor. It’s against the law.”
“Yes!” Yin of Shuntian Prefecture was deeply moved, and suddenly felt that He Yushi’s features had become more beautiful.
He Yushi still had a serious look on his face: "This matter is important. According to the opinion of the subordinates, it is better to report it to the superior today."
“Yes—” Shuntian Prefecture Yin subconsciously agreed, and suddenly reacted, “Send it to me?”
"Um."
Yin of Shuntian Prefecture flatly refused: "Is He Yushi joking? His Royal Highness, Prince Qing, is a prince, and Minister Pei is also a third-rank official. Is it possible that if a troublemaker comes and complains, he will be reported to the superior?"
“What do you think, Lord Tian?” He Yushi asked calmly.
