Chapter 272 Unrest
When the third lady of the Duankangbo Mansion left, Zhou Qing turned around and saluted to Jingzhao Yin.
"I hope you will give me justice for what happened today."
Jingzhao Yin sat under the mirror and wanted to curse.
What's unfair about you!
However, he couldn't curse, and he had to try the case.
Fortunately, because Zhou Qing brought up Zhou Yuan's old case, he didn't offend Duankangbo Mansion for what happened today.
Alas!
It's so hard to be a human being!
It's even harder to be an official!
However, it's even harder to be an ordinary citizen. In comparison, it's better to be an official.
Glancing at the ordinary people who were making a fuss outside, Jingzhao Yin sighed silently and slammed the gavel again.
"Do the prisoners Honglian and Sun know their crimes?"
"I know my crimes." Honglian knelt there with her head down and confessed her guilt honestly.
With her head down, it was hard to see what her expression was.
Sun was so scared that she felt weak all over.
She had never thought that she would be detained by the police.
Jingzhao Yin looked at Sun, "Sun?"
Sun shuddered, "I, I."
She uttered "I" twice, her knees went weak, and she collapsed on the yamen runner beside her, too scared to speak.
Jingzhao Yin said: "Humiliating others in the street, according to the crime, slap ten times."
When Sun heard this punishment, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Slap?
It was so scary.
Sun felt that her knees seemed to have some strength again.
When she was about to stand up from the yamen runner, Jingzhao Yin said again: "Sun beat the plaintiff in court and disturbed the court, and she will be punished with ten strokes."
Sun's knees, which had just gained strength, went weak again.
Ten strokes!
She had seen people being beaten with a stick, taking off their pants and exposing their buttocks.
Not to mention the pain, just thinking about exposing her buttocks in a while, Sun felt dizzy and a little faint.
But she couldn't faint.
He was held there in fear, as if he was being fried in a frying pan.
Jingzhao Yin finished speaking and looked at Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing threw the contract paper in his hand.
"According to the agreement on this paper, I hope you can help me collect the debt."
Jingzhao Yin's mouth twitched, "I don't know that Zhou Huaihai bribed the prefect of Xuanfu, let alone that Zhou Huaihai framed Zhou Huaishan, so I hope Miss Zhou will understand that this case is not within the scope of my duties."
After saying that, fearing that Zhou Qing would say something else, Jingzhao Yin slammed the gavel and left the court.
He left quickly, and then a yamen runner came forward with a wooden wedge for slapping the mouth.
After ten slaps, Honglian apologized to Zhou Qing with a swollen mouth and left immediately.
Sun had to face ten more strokes of the board.
Zhou Qing was too lazy to read it, so he left too.
Shen Li had mentioned before that Zhou Yuan used a series of relationships to force Hu Weiyue to release Zhou Huaihai.
Although Hu Weiyue was released at that time, it does not mean that the matter is over.
Now that Zhou Huaishan has entered the capital, this matter becomes a perfect entry point if he wants to investigate the old case of Rongyang Marquis Mansion.
The Queen Mother can speak for Duan Kangbo, but it does not mean that the Queen Mother can speak for Zhou Yuan.
Even if the Queen Mother lowers her status to protect Zhou Yuan for the sake of the prince party, she may not be able to find such a suitable reason this time.
Last night, when Shen Li sent Zhou Huaishan back from his house, he said that he needed an opportunity to catch Zhou Yuan.
Unexpectedly, this opportunity came to him today.
The servant followed Zhou Qing and looked at Zhou Qing with admiration.
No wonder Li Yi and Li Er said that Zhou Qing and their masters were of the same kind.
Who would have thought that it was just Sun's insult to Zhou Qing that would involve so many things.
I'm afraid that Jingzhao Yin himself is confused now.
Jingzhao Yin's government office.
Jingzhao Yin sat slumped in his chair with his mouth slightly open.
With a cold handkerchief on his forehead, his eyes were looking straight ahead.
"What do you think Zhou Qing meant by this today?"
Jingzhao Yin took a breath and asked his confidant beside him sullenly.
The confidant said, "According to my subordinates, she went to Duankangbo's mansion, and it has nothing to do with you, sir. Even if we don't open the court today, she can think of other ways."
Jingzhao Yin was about to cry.
"But, if I open the court, do you think I will be on Shen Li's blacklist?"
Rumor has it that Shadow Commander Shen Li has a small book for black accounts.
This book is black, and every name recorded on it will eventually enter Shadow's cell.
"Sir, don't worry. Although it is against the rules for you to open the court today, the rules are dead and people are alive. You insist that you are afraid of Shen Li, and this matter has nothing to do with you.
Anyway, you also punished Honglian and Sun in the court today."
Jingzhao Yin shook his head and took off the handkerchief on his head.
The confidant immediately twisted out another cold handkerchief and handed it over.
Putting the handkerchief on his forehead, Jingzhao Yin said: "I think this matter is not that simple.
If it is aimed at Duankangbo Mansion, why let Zhou Qing, a little girl, come forward?
Why doesn't Shen Li do it himself?
Besides, how did Zhou Qing know that Sun was going to pick a fight with her today!"
The confidant laughed and said: "From the look of Sun, even if she doesn't pick a fight with Zhou Qing today, she will definitely get angry one day. She will not worry about not waiting for the opportunity."
Jingzhao Yin nodded, "That's right, but why do I still feel that this is not such a coincidence."
"Sir, coincidence or not, I think that since it involves the shadow, we should not get involved too much, otherwise, we may lose money.
As for your position, I heard from the attendant in front of the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion that someone also wants to sit there, and has already sent gifts to the prince."
"Is there any more?" Jingzhao Yin sat up, and the handkerchief fell down.
"Yes." The attendant nodded, "So, it is better to have less trouble than more. Who can know what Shen Li's methods are? Besides, who Shen Li is targeting means that person is targeting that person."
When saying this, the attendant raised his hand and pointed to the sky.
"It's all about the father and son of the royal family. Why make a fuss? They are father and son, but we are different."
Jingzhao Yin hummed in a sullen voice, "Since I sit in this position, it is impossible for me to be immune."
When he said this, he suddenly remembered the case twenty years ago.
That was the first big case since he took office as Jingzhao Yin.
The tragedy of the Rongyang Marquis's mansion.
So.
Why did Zhou Qing do this today!
It has nothing to do with the case back then, right?
Although Zhou Qing's father is also called Zhou Huaishan, and although he said that he had Zhou Huaishan's dream, when he was handling the case, Rongyang Hou had already died.
It was Rongyang Hou who died first, and then the whole family was wiped out.
Even if it was a dream, he didn't know what happened after he died.
For a while, Jingzhao Yin was a little uneasy.
