Chapter 16 Seriously, we are doing business(1/2)
Mo Ziming read the imperial edict in public first, and then said to Tan Jiansheng:
"Mr. Tan, the imperial edict is here. Does Lord. Tan need to verify it?"
Under normal circumstances, the imperial court appointed an imperial envoy to go on a patrol, and usually sent a special person to the local area to promulgate the imperial envoy, and then handed over the imperial envoy to the imperial envoy for safekeeping.
But Mo Ziming was traveling secretly this time, so this imperial edict was a secret edict, so naturally it was impossible for someone to read it in advance.
Tan Jiansheng sweated coldly and said in a trembling voice: "I dare not!"
As the saying goes, the name of a person and the shadow of a tree. This guy has long heard of Mo Ziming's name, and he is inevitably a little scared.
At this time, several more officials hurried out from the back hall.
When they saw this scene, several officials were shocked, subconsciously looked at each other, and then went forward and knelt down one by one.
"My deputies, Fan Kailiang, the governor of Liangzhou, welcomes the imperial edict and the imperial envoy!"
"My deputies from Liangzhou Tu Jun welcome the imperial edict and the imperial envoy!"
"minister……"
"Okay, get up!"
Mo Ziming raised his hand in Void.
"Sir Xie Qin!"
The officials stood up one after another.
Then, Liangzhou assassin Fan Kailiang stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I don't know that the imperial envoy is here, and I have never met you. Please forgive me."
"Haha, Lord Fan, it's not your fault. This official's trip was a secret trip under the sage and had not been notified in advance."
"So that's the case... Then please go to the inner hall for a while. The subordinate will then order someone to arrange the imperial envoy."
"The headquarters can arrange it, but it will be exempted if you have a rest. I happened to encounter a life lawsuit and want to hear how Lord Tan tried the case."
"this……"
Fan Kailiang subconsciously glanced at Lin, who was kneeling on the ground, and then asked Tan Jiansheng: "Mr. Tan, what's going on?"
The muscles on Tan Jiansheng's face trembled. Just as he was about to reply, Lin came to his senses and rushed to Mo Ziming's feet regardless of everything and shouted, "Sir, please ask the Sir, Imperial Commander to make the decision for the civilian women..."
Seeing this, Fan Kailiang couldn't help but look dark and said angrily: "Bold and slutty woman, how dare you disturb the imperial envoy, someone comes..."
"Let's go!" Mo Ziming raised his hand and glanced at Fan Kailiang and said, "Mr. Fan, the imperial envoy suddenly changed his mind and wanted to try the case personally. I wonder what Lord Fan wanted?"
Mo Ziming deliberately aggravated the word "indian envoy".
If he only came here as a bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, he naturally had no right to overstep the matter and replace local officials in the trial.
But now he is an imperial envoy and has been granted the emperor the right to act cheaply, so he naturally has the right to take over all affairs in Liangzhou.
Asking questions is just to give Fan Kailiang a face.
Fan Kailiang naturally knew it well. Even if he was reluctant, he could only smile: "Since the imperial envoy spoke, how dare the subordinates stop him? But..."
"Okay, Xiaoqing!"
Mo Ziming called out toward the gate.
"exist!"
A crisp response came from outside.
Immediately afterwards, Xiaoqing, dressed in men's clothing, walked in with a package in big strides.
"Stop...stop..."
A yamen runner outside the door subconsciously shouted.
Mo Ziming immediately said, "Xiaoqing is the guard of my imperial envoy."
After saying this, who else dares to stop him?
Xiaoqing walked into the court and winked at Mo Ziming and said, "Sister...hehe, sir, your official robe."
"Be serious, we are doing serious business..."
Mo Ziming gave a angrily reminder.
However, others could not hear this sentence because he used his spiritual sense to communicate with Xiaoqing.
"I know my brother-in-law!"
Xiaoqing also replied in secret, and his expression suddenly became serious.
Mo Ziming took the package, walked into the back hall and replaced the official robe before walking back to the court with majestic spirit.
At this time, the people outside the gate surrounded him more and more, and they all wanted to see with their own eyes how the imperial envoy tried the case.
Now that Mo Ziming has become the presiding officer, he naturally has to sit in the main seat. Fan Kailiang, Tan Jiansheng and others have complicated expressions and sit on both sides to listen in turn.
"Ba~"
After the crowd sat down, Mo Ziming patted the agglomer and shouted: "Okay, now we start the case trial... Who is kneeling below? Why are you beating the drum and making excuses?"
Although Mo Ziming has heard of the causes and consequences, the case trial still requires procedures.
"I replied to the great man. Lin, a civilian wife, and her deceased husband, were from Qingzhou. They came to Liangzhou to join their relatives.
Just when we were asking for directions, we met Miao San, a servant from Pingliang Hou Mansion…”
"How do you know that his name is Miao San, who is a servant of Master Hou's mansion?"
"The civilian women only found out later. A kind-hearted person reminded the civilian women that the other party was from Pingliang Hou Mansion, and the leader was Miao San, the nephew of the housekeeper of Pingliang Hou Mansion."
"Well, then how did you conflict?"
"When I say to you, Miao San took the servants to come forward and said he could lead the way.
But the deceased husband saw that the three of them didn't look like good people, so he said kindly refused.
Unexpectedly, the three of them were reluctant to give in and rushed forward to block our way.
Moreover, the Miao San picked the purse and insisted that the deceased husband stole his purse.
The civilian woman didn't want to cause too much trouble, so she went up to beg her hard. She never thought that Miao San actually..."
Speaking of this, Lin paused, with a look of grief and shameless anger: "He actually touched the civilian women, and shamelessly said that the civilian women would follow him and enjoy wealth and glory.
The deceased husband was so angry that he stepped forward and pushed him away.
In anger, he used his strength a little more and pushed Miao San to the ground, rubbing a piece of skin on his face.
In this way, the three of them went crazy and pressed their dead husband to the ground and punched them. The civilian woman stepped forward and pulled him away, but they forced him away..."
When he said this, Lin was already crying.
Mo Ziming did not urge her. After calming down for a while, Lin continued: "Later, two yamen runners came over, and the civilian woman hurried forward and begged them to save the person.
Unexpectedly, they must have known Miao San and left without saying a word.
Just like this... Just like this... the deceased husband was beaten to death.
After that, the civilian woman fainted from sorrow that she was a kind-hearted doctor who woke her up.
He said that when I fainted, Miao San wanted to kidnap me, but some kind-hearted people spoke out that guy gave up.
He also advised me to take my deceased husband out of Liangzhou City as soon as possible, saying that even the government dared not provoke Pingliang Hou Mansion..."
"Bang!"
Hearing this, Mo Ziming couldn't help but slapped the table in anger, and his eyes were coldly glaring at Fan Kailiang and others.
Fan Kailiang and his group were guilty and lowered their heads one by one, and did not dare to look at Mo Ziming.
"Mr. Fan, quickly send someone to Pingliang Hou Mansion to summon Miao San and the two servants to the hall.
Also, check who were the two yamen runners mentioned by Lin, and summoned them to the hall together."
"this……"
Fan Kailiang stood up, looking hesitant.
"What? Lord Fan wants to disobey?"
"The officials dare not... to summon Miao San and the servants who were with him to the hall. Also, check who were the two yamen runners who were patrolling before and took them to the court together."
When the order was given, the guy secretly passed a look.
The subordinates understood and took the order and left.
However, how could these small actions between them be hidden from Mo Ziming?
But he doesn't want to expose it now, and see what the other party is doing.
In short, since he came to Liangzhou, these so-called border officials were ultimately just clowns.
As expected, the person who went to summon Miao San returned empty-handed, saying that Miao San and two servants fled for fear of crime and disappeared.
It was obvious that they didn't want to fight Mo Ziming head-on, so they started playing hide-and-seek.
After all, Mo Ziming was just an imperial envoy, so it was impossible for him to stay in Liangzhou for too long.
To be continued...
