After the eight-treasure duck was served, Ji Ruotang kept picking up vegetables for Lianhua. Maybe he was in a better mood today, or he was really hungry after going out for a walk. Lianhua didn't refuse him, and kept eating. .
Seeing that she could eat so well, Ji Ruotang felt relieved a lot. Ever since she had a cold attack, she has never eaten this or that, and she almost doesn't recognize the skinny ones.
"Slow down, eat slowly." Ji Ruotang said while wiping the oil stains on her mouth.
"Tsk tsk tsk, little cousin, how did you tame this iceberg?" Li Fang couldn't stand it any longer. Ever since he was a child, his cousin had never been so gentle to him. When he fell down, he didn't see his cousin stretch out his hand to help him.
Hearing Li Fang's little cousin, Lian Hua almost choked, Ji Ruotang quickly handed her water and patted her on the back to make her feel better.
"Can you eat and talk less?" Ji Ruotang gave him an angry look.
Li Fang was honestly eating ducks when he was stared down by Ji Ruotang.
After the four of them satiated with wine and food, they were ready to go shopping in the night market, and then returned to the palace.
Just stepped out of the Zuixian Tower and hadn't taken two steps, I heard a group of people gathered by the river in front, as if they were watching some excitement.
"I want to go and have a look!" Lian Hua saw that Chang Le had been stepping on her feet and stretching her head to visit, probably because she was provoked by the hijacking incident last time, so she didn't dare to take her to see.
Lianhua had to look like Ji Ruotang and asked if she could go over to have a look. After all, the prince and princess are following, safety is still very important.
"Go and have a look!" Ji Ruotang agreed, this was the first time Lianhua had asked his permission in recent days, he couldn't spoil her interest!
"Let's go, let's take a closer look!" Lian Hua took Chang Le's hand and walked into the crowd, while Ji Ruotang and Li Fang followed closely behind them.
Passing through the crowd, I saw a middle-aged woman crying while hugging a boy whose clothes were soaked through, and at the side, it should be the boy's father, who was holding a boy who was also soaked in clothes and screaming nonstop.
Lianhua only heard the middle-aged man keep asking the young man why he pushed his child into the ditch, but the young man gritted his teeth and insisted that he was watching the child fall into the water and he went to rescue him , just when I couldn't hold on.
Another middle-aged woman stumbled into the crowd, and as soon as she saw the boy who was caught by a man, she started beating and scolding: "Why are you pushing him? Why don't you just relax?" The woman He kept repeating this sentence to the boy.
Changle looked at it and felt that the second child might be playing around. The older child pushed the younger one into the river. It was nothing serious. He thought it would be fun to go to the market, after all, it was rare to come out. a trip.
Just as they were about to turn around and leave, they saw the boy's mother kneeling down suddenly, begging the middle-aged couple to bypass her son, but the boy shouted that he was wronged and he didn't push him away. .
The voice was hysterical, and the boy's eyes were filled with grief and anger. Those eyes should not belong to this age. It can be seen how wronged he was to make such a cry!
"Then go to see the official and let the government decide!" Lianhua couldn't stand it any longer. Why did she cry out for such a small matter? Since this position is set up, it is to serve the people!
"Who are you? Could it be that you pushed my child?" For some reason, the middle-aged man walked towards Lianhua with embarrassment and anger, and Lianhua retreated back and forth in fright.
Ji Ruotang quickly protected Lianhua behind him, while Li Fang pulled Changle behind him.
"Are you sick, and we didn't say anything? We just said to see the official, did we push you? Is it possible that you have a ghost in your heart?" Chang Le's unreasonable and unforgiving character was brought into full play at this time .
"Why should I go to see the official? He pushed my child into the ditch, and he has to compensate me." The middle-aged man said proudly.
"You are guilty if you don't go. Who knows who pushed your child down. Has anyone seen it with their own eyes?" Chang Le hid behind Li Fang and said loudly. Today, there must be many hidden guards by her cousin. I'm not afraid at all.
Lianhua listened for a while, and probably understood that this person might just want to extort some money, so she grabbed the young man. Just when she was thinking about getting the money out of her purse to help the young man out, she realized that she had lost money. The purse is gone!
Hey it must have been stolen when it was crowded in the crowd just now. Why is the law and order here so bad? It's still in the capital!
the"My purse seems to have been stolen!" Lian Hua pulled Ji Ruotang's sleeve and whispered in his ear.
"Where's Di Xinjue?" Ji Ruotang wasn't worried about losing the silver taels, but was afraid that this would disappear.
"It's still there." Lianhua touched the jade pendant on her chest, it was still there.
Just as the two were talking about the stolen purse, Chang Le quarreled with the middle-aged man again. The middle-aged man was furious and pointed at Li Fang and cursed.
Li Fang reached out to grab the hand that the middle-aged man was pointing at, and with a light touch, he heard a click, and the middle-aged man wailed. Lian Hua guessed it was probably a trick.
"I want to see the officialI want to see the officialyou all saw it, he broke my wrist!"
The few people who were just watching the fun turned into crowds watching, Ji Ruotang quickly gave Qingfeng a wink to make the dark guards be more vigilant.
"When you see an official, you will see an official. We are afraid that you will fail!" Chang Le yelled behind Li Fang. This idiot, just like the arrogance he pointed at them just now, is enough for him to die a hundred times. How about meeting an official? See you soon, tonight we will see how the magistrate decides the case!
Surrounded by the crowd of onlookers, the group of them was taken to the government office. The middle-aged man beat the drum to redress his grievances, and Ji Ruotang and the others followed him into the government office.
"The magistrate doesn't know you?" Lian Hua asked Ji Ruotang softly. She didn't understand. They came to the mansion so generously. The magistrate must not know Li Fang and Chang Le, but if Ji Ruotang knew him, so what? What about the trial?
"I don't know, he is not qualified to see me!" Ji Ruotang touched Lianhua's little head, she really thought that anyone could see him, he is a hereditary lord, a royal relative, an important minister in the court, How can these sesame officials make friends at will!
"Wei Wu"
Afterwards, a man who looked like an official sat in the courtroom, and was about to start arbitrating the case.
Ji Ruotang and Li Fang looked at each other, this is wrong, this is not the magistrate, who is this? Why can sit in court to decide the case?
"Who is here?" asked the master above the court.
"Master Guanyou want to avenge the villain. Together with that boy, they pushed my child into the water and broke my wrist. It is unreasonable. Master, you want to avenge the villain. !" The middle-aged man loudly recounted his injustice!
"Is what he said the truth?" The master in the court asked in the direction of Ji Ruotang and Li Fang!
"May I ask why the prefect went to the court to decide the case and didn't wear an official uniform?" Li Fang didn't answer the question of the official, but asked his question instead.
"Presumptuous, is this something you can ask?"
"There is a law in our big business country. Those above the court and court must wear official uniforms!" How could Li Fang be afraid of him!
"Youyou insulted the court, come on, give me thirty slaps!" the official said with a guilty conscience.
"Guilty?" Li Fang actually laughed.
"Let the magistrate come out to settle the case, otherwise how will you explain to the common people standing outside?" Li Fang pointed to the common people standing outside to watch the excitement.
"Youyou" The official was too angry to speak, so he hurried to the backyard to call the real magistrate.
It was later discovered that the person who appeared to be the magistrate was only the magistrate's teacher, and the real magistrate was resting in the backyard.
"Who is it? Wake me up!" The magistrate went to court drunk.
Li Fang used to live in the deep palace. He thought that what he wanted to learn was just the art of the emperor, and what he needed was to balance those powerful officials. Only this time he deeply felt how mischievous these local officials are.
Seeing the prefect went to court, the middle-aged man repeated what he said before.
"What he said is the truth?" The words of the prefect and the teacher are exactly the same!
"I broke the wrist. We didn't push it, and it wasn't the boy who pushed it. As for who? Then it's up to the official to decide?" Li Fang's words really angered the magistrate.
"Presumptuous, I don't need your advice to settle the case!" The magistrate became angry from embarrassment.
Ji Ruotang watched from the sidelines for a long time. It seemed that the magistrate was not ready to try the case seriously, and he was only partial to this middle-aged man on the ground. If he didn't reward them today and lock them up, he wouldn't let it go!
There were fewer and fewer people outside the door, and everyone shook their heads and left. Seeing the situation, everyone should be very familiar with the process of the magistrate's case resolution. There is still such a parent official under the emperor's feet, which opened Ji Ruotang's eyes .
Ji Ruotang looked at the sky, it was already too late, he was afraid that the gate of the palace had been closed, and if these people were not punished today, he thought that Li Fang would not let it go, so in desperation, he took out a piece of gold from his sleeve. The seal letter was presented to the magistrate above the court.
"What is it?" The magistrate saw the golden seal that had just been presented, and jumped up all of a sudden, completely drunk.
Immediately stumbled to Ji Ruotang, knelt down in front of Ji Ruotang.
"The lower official has seen Lord Ji"
"Get up!" Ji Ruotang didn't even look at him.
"Quick, stool, please take your seats!" The magistrate felt a little bit in his heart now, after thinking about it, how should he make up for offending these big shots?
