"When a family incident happened when I was young, it was like a movie plot. Naturally, the imperial guards would not contact anyone lightly, regardless of whether he was a real criminal or a false suspect. An arrow flew away from the string, and one person staggered a few steps and fell in front of him. . Then there were five or six more tires in the alley and wearing soap clothes, and they whispered, "Grasp him not to let him run away. With words like that, he came out after him and met a group of guards who were inexplicably surprised and waiting carefully.
The guards only shouted, "Put down your weapons." However, the servants in soap clothes shouted, "We are waiting to catch the thief." However, the guards did not care about right or wrong, and no one wanted to listen to reasons. Wouldn't it be seeking death in the streets of the inner city and holding a knife and stick in front of the emperor? The imperial guards stepped forward and slashed with their swords, and some of them swept away the weapons of the servants in soap clothes with a wave of their riding whips. Only half a stick of incense was struck, and the battle scene ended neatly.
Emperor Kangxi stared at the fighting, exclaiming that he couldn't get enough of it. The fighting power of the two sides was completely unequal. If they really waited, the emperor would probably have to worry about his personal safety.
The imperial guard dragged the man who was shot in the distance closer. It turned out that he had only been shot in the thigh, and he was deliberately left alive.
When the bound servants in soap clothes saw that the disheveled man was also caught, they immediately spoke out in defense: "He is the thief, he is him." He stabbed my young master.
However, the man who was hit by the arrow in the leg, although he was shaking with pain, was still conscious. He crawled on the ground with his head hanging down, shouting in a miserable voice: "You are wronged, sir!" They were spitting blood, and the common people were Unjustly accused
Emperor Kangxi was sitting majestically on a tall horse, listening to people crying out for grievances in the street. He suddenly felt excited about the reincarnation of Bao Qingtian and the chance encounter with someone who had been grievances. It would be exciting if the couple could redress the grievances.
Emperor Kangxi immediately ordered the accompanying guards to wrap up the suspect's arrow wounds, tie up all the servants in soap clothes, and escort them to the nearby signing room at Chaoyang Gate. He also sent someone to search the so-called injured young master's hiding place. Wherever they are, they will be escorted to the case together. Kangxi finished his instructions vigorously and resolutely, and took the crown prince back to the palace first.
Emperor Kangxi sent the jealous people to send Yin Yi to Cining Palace. He changed into the purple robe of Qianlong Qingyun Emperor, wore a black fox patchwork coat, and wore a pair of dark soap locust thick-soled official boots. He felt that he had the air of a government official. Only then did he excitedly rush into the sedan chair and rush to the Chaoyangmen signing room to inquire about the case. After a long delay, a group of related criminals, as well as several maids and servants serving the injured young master in the house, were taken over on the spot, and dozens of people knelt down in the hall where the signature was signed.
There are also tables and chairs in the Chaoyang Gate signing room. Usually the forward commander of the Forbidden Brigade Eight Banners and the commander of the guard army who guard the inner city gate sit to sign and issue the cards. Today, Emperor Kangxi is sitting in the middle with his horse and golden sword, and the commander of the vanguard and the commander of the guard standing with white flags stand solemnly on the left and right of the emperor.
Kangxi ordered the others to be taken down temporarily to wait for orders, except for the man who was shot by the guard. The arrow wound on the man's thigh had already been treated with gold wound medicine. Of course, some of the imperial guards were afraid of staining the emperor's eyes, so they found an old pair of trousers with him and put them on to cover his shame, and tied up his messy hair with a straw rope. In short, the head and feet are very neat. It was a good thing that this person had to drive incognito when he met the emperor. Otherwise, with his naked appearance in the street, he would have been beaten ten times by the official and charged with immorality before questioning.
Kangxi only cared about him complaining about injustice, so he asked the man to raise his head and reply. The man couldn't kneel down due to his leg injury and kept lying at the foot of the steps. After hearing this, he managed to hold himself up. Kangxi thought about the process of trial cases by ordinary officials, and then asked: "Who are you kneeling in the hall? What grievances do you have? Come up with me one by one."
The man raised his face and looked up at the emperor. Kangxi took a cold look at his appearance and felt quite depressed in his heart. This pretty boy was really pretty, and he was clearly a sissy with a boyish look. Unexpectedly, when the man saw Kangxi's face, he pulled his palms on the ground twice, and veins burst out on his thin arms. He was so excited that he said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, the common people are really wronged." "
Kangxi was shouted at by him, "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming." His chest felt tight, and Lian Bai changed his clothes and became an official. When did Lian ever get to know such a sissy person?
So Kangxi asked him patiently: "When did you see the couplet?"
The sissy man cried with tears: "Your Majesty, the common man's name is Qi Changsheng. On March 22, the common man sang at Prince Gong's Mansion. At that time, he stood in the center of the stage and looked from a distance. The beauty of heaven
Kangxi suddenly understood, but after watching several parts of the play intermittently that day, the emperor was quite impatient and kept eating fruits and snacks. He had long forgotten who Qi Changsheng was, not to mention that his face was covered with make-up and eyebrows.
Kangxi asked him out of curiosity: "Which one are you playing?"
Qi Changsheng hurriedly replied: "The common people are the ones who sing Zhengdan and pretend to be Du Liniang."
Kangxi understood immediately, no wonder he was so girly, every move and even the accent of the leading role is exquisite.
Kangxi's face became much kinder, and he asked him Wen Yan: "Then you didn't go to the opera today, what happened to you? Why did you stab that man?" After all, they were considered acquaintances, and Kangxi went out of his way to talk to him. He saved some face and didn't mention the incident of exposing his thighs in the street.
Qi Changsheng had a sad expression on his face. Jiuchuan Shenghuasheng's appearance was originally very good, and his appearance was touching, compassionate, and enlightening. Even the emperor couldn't bear to look at it.
Qi Changsheng raised his hand to wipe away his tears before replying: "That man is the second young master of the Kang family. He sent someone to tell him that his family wanted to celebrate the old lady's eightieth birthday and planned to invite the San Ye class to sing for a whole month. So he called Cao Min He went to the house to discuss the show and the money. Unexpectedly, after Cao Min came over, he would ask Changsheng to try out a few verses first, and then sent his accompanying companions back to get their clothes. Although Cao Min felt bad, he couldn't fall out immediately. Just delay with him for now.¡±
Qi Changsheng felt resentful in his heart and narrated emotionally: "Unexpectedly, the second young master Kang was really dirty. He actually put medicine in the tea for the guests, stupefied the common people, and moved the common people into the house in order to do that ungodly thing. The common people had no choice but to make excuses with him, coax him to untie his hands and feet, and when he was confused and infatuated, he pulled out the silver policeman that bound his hair on top of his head and stabbed him directly in his ribs."
Qi Changsheng said in a fierce tone: "That silver handle is meant for self-defense, but it comes in handy by sharpening it on stones every day."
Emperor Kangxi and the two commanders on the steps couldn't help but trembled when they heard Qi Changsheng's words in a very resentful tone. Kangxi even thought that if he was with his concubines in the future, he would not wear that thing, it would be scary.
Qi Changsheng went on to say: "After the grassroots stabbed the second young master Kang, they hurriedly gathered their clothes and ran out of the house in a panic. At first, they just said that no one would care about them, but unexpectedly, the second young master suddenly woke up and shouted for orders. Catch the thief, and then you will see what the Emperor saw with your own eyes." Qi Changsheng calmed down and solemnly defended himself to the Emperor:
"Please, Your Majesty, please see clearly that the common people have been wronged by them. Originally, they could not pick a hand and only sang operas all their lives. Now they are not even dressed properly. How can they commit crimes in his house?"
Kangxi was a little stunned after listening to it for a long time. In the past, he had only read the story of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty's Duanxiu and Dong Xian in books, but today he saw a real-life case of robbing a man and injuring others in self-defense. It was really strange.
There are all kinds of birds in the world, but I wonder if there is such a thing in the Qing Dynasty Law? Can those who intentionally rape a man and a woman be punished with the same crime? Did it work out? If it fails, what will be the verdict?
Kangxi was hesitating, but after all, he had to collect evidence fairly and listen to the testimonies of both sides. Kangxi ordered the guards to carry Qi Changsheng down to the hall, and then ordered people to carry the second young master of Kang Mansion up. Kangxi still cursed secretly in his heart, this person is really terrible.
During the pause, Kangxi turned to ask the two commanders what they thought of the case. Guo Yi, the commander of the vanguard with the white flag, hesitated slightly and suddenly said to the emperor: "Back to the emperor, in my opinion, I am afraid that this case , maybe there is something hidden."
Kangxi was stunned when he heard this, and asked him in confusion: "What do you think is the secret?"
The forward commander Guo Yi pursed his lips and smiled:
"Your Majesty, I'm just guessing. Maybe we can't agree on money, and falling out is common."
Kangxi was dumbfounded when he heard this. Why did Guo Yi characterize him as a "cooperator", an adulterer, and not a "harmonist"?
"When the second young master of Kang Mansion was brought to the court, he was indeed a rich man who had seen the world. He spoke eloquently, coherently from beginning to end, and his words were vivid and logical, and the witnesses confirmed it. The second young master's surname was Kang and his double name was Youwei. He confessed that he was originally a filial son and a virtuous grandson. He sincerely invited Qi Changsheng to come to the house to discuss the matter of holding a banquet and a birthday celebration for Mrs. Kang.
Unexpectedly, Qi Changsheng relied on his good looks and sweet words to deliberately flirt with the two young masters in bed. Because Second Young Master Kang had been away from home for a long time, he was inevitably tempted by the villain's appearance and deliberately fell in love with him.
Unexpectedly, Qi Changsheng was a greedy and reckless prostitute. After the incident, the lion opened his mouth and insisted on asking Kang Youwei for a thousand taels of silver before he would give up. Qi Changsheng also threatened Young Master Kang that if he did not agree to the conditions, he would bring the matter to the neighbors and damage the reputation of Kang's house.
Kang Youwei expressed his infinite grievance in the hall, "I would like to ask all of you to be aware that we are spending the night with a young Qingwan who is twelve or three years old and is very well-educated in Luqiao Hutong. She only has one or two hundred taels of silver." . When Qi Changsheng asked for a thousand taels of silver, didn¡¯t he deliberately seek money from the Kang family? He also threatened the reputation of the businessman and deliberately blackmailed me? "
Kang Youwei naturally refused to compromise with Qi Changsheng and only agreed to give him two hundred taels of silver. Little did they know that this man was also a madman. Knowing that he could not get a thousand taels, he jumped up, pulled out the bodhisattva, and stabbed Kang Youwei randomly to vent his anger.
Kang Youwei said in a hoarse voice: "Although KangEven though he is not talented, he is definitely not stingy with the money. He is just unhappy about being forced to do so by evil people, and he will fight for it. Even though he donated all his money to the government to support the frontline war effort, he couldn't condone that villain. "
Kang Youwei¡¯s words, which are both sung and composed, are so cruel and heart-wrenching! Don't mention anything else. Just saying that he was willing to donate money to the government and would not tolerate the actor's words was just a brilliant statement. Any official would be very happy
This play, no matter who plays the role of the good guy or the bad guy, is very exciting. Kangxi was dumbfounded
