LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 228 The fate of Duke Liang’s Mansion
Liang Jue never imagined that he, who had been domineering in the capital, would one day make a mistake. Facing the huge claim from Prince An's palace, he is now riding a tiger. Compensation will not only make Master Zhou, Qin Shizi and others a laughing stock, but also don’t have that much money on hand. If you don’t compensate, not only will you be imprisoned, but King An will also have to participate in the court. A copy for myself.
Just when Liang Jue was hesitant, the servant next to him already said with a complacent look on his face: "Master Zhao, our eldest lady is the concubine Shu in the palace. Do you really want to sentence my young master to pay so much? money?"
Xuan Yue listened and couldn't help but smile, "Since no one in Prince An's palace is a concubine, our store deserves to be smashed?"
Jiang Xue cried sadly, "I have long heard that the people in Liang Guogong's mansion use power to bully others and oppress good people. Today I finally saw it for myself!" He looked at Mr. Zhao and cried, "Mr. Zhao, it seems that you can't make the decision for you on this matter. Already..."
"I advise you to be more knowledgeable!" the boy said smugly again.
Liang Jue also had a confused look on his face, "Master Zhao, I am the second young master of the Duke of Liang's palace. You are just a mere Jing Zhaoyin and have no right to judge this young master!" He then looked at Jiang Xue and Xuan Yue with a mocking look on his face, An expression that says there is nothing you can do to me.
"Who dares to be so arrogant after committing a crime? If Mr. Zhao has no right to interrogate you, then do I, the Minister of Dali Temple, have the right to interrogate you?" A majestic and cold voice came, and then a slender, handsome young man carried on his back Come in with your hands and feet.
Everyone was shocked when they saw it and hurriedly knelt down. Mr. Zhao also hurriedly came out from behind the desk to salute.
"See King Yu!"
"No courtesy!" Nangong Yu waved his hand and walked up to the hall, "Mr. Zhao, has the corpse case file handed over yesterday been sorted out?"
"Go back, Your Majesty, I have sorted it out. I was about to order someone to send it to you, but unexpectedly, another case happened!" Mr. Zhao said hurriedly, "I asked you to go there in person. I am ashamed of myself!"
"It doesn't matter. I heard that a snack bar of Zhen Gourmet Shop opened today. The snacks sold are very delicious. I came out for a walk. I wanted to try something new. I passed you by and came in." Nangong Yu sat casually behind the desk. He stood up, resting his hands on the desk and supporting his chin, looking at everyone in the hall, "What have they committed that even you, Mr. Zhao, cannot try?"
Master Zhao reported the matter to him truthfully. At this time, Liang Jue wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Liang Jue!" Nangong Yu looked at Liang Jue with his head lowered in the hall and sneered, and then saw Jiang Xue and Xuan Yue Xuanfeng beside him, and asked leisurely, "Jiang Xue, Liang Jue really led someone to hit me. Sister-in-law’s shop?”
Jiang Xue nodded hurriedly and doubtfully, "Back to King Yu, yes! They even injured me! Look, the palm print is still here!" He took off the clothes on his chest, and there was indeed a red handprint on his snow-white chest.
"Yu, King Yu, forgive me..." Liang Jue knelt down, not even daring to raise his head.
Nangong Yu's face turned cold, he sat upright, slapped the alarm, and shouted: "Bold Liang Jue, in the clear sky and in broad daylight, led his slaves to commit murder, smashing and destroying the tables, chairs, dinner plates and other objects in Zhenxiufang, causing Zhenxiufang to lose up to ten thousand taels." He also used the name of Concubine Shu to intimidate the court officials in an attempt to disrupt judicial justice and show lawlessness! Now, I order Liang Jue to compensate Zhenxiu Fang for all the losses of 10,000 taels and Jiang Xue's medical expenses of 500 taels. He is punished with a cane. Twenty to serve as a warning! All slaves who commit crimes will be given fifty strokes with the cane as a sign of punishment!"
A piece of order was thrown, and several government officials immediately stepped forward and knocked Liang Jue, who was still confused, to the ground. They immediately started fighting. Several other government officials also stepped forward and pushed several of Liang Jue's followers to the ground. Cane punishment. For a while, the courtroom was filled with the crackling sound of the cane being executed, and the incessant screams of "ahhhh".
Master Zhou, Prince Qin and others couldn't help but touch their butts. Fortunately, they had the eyesight today to recognize Jiang Xue and lined up honestly. Otherwise, they might be among the people who were forced there and tortured with the cane.
Jiang Xue looked at Liang Jue, who was grinning and screaming in pain, with a look of unbearable expression.
"You guys, wait for me..." Liang Jue glared at Jiang Xue and others.
"You dare to threaten and intimidate the sufferer, and I'll beat you twenty more!" Lord Zhao shouted, and threw another lot.
The sound of the cane that was about to be finished continued to sound again.
After carrying out the cane punishment, Nangong Yu asked people to go to Liang Guogong's mansion and ask Liang Guogong to bring compensation to redeem the person. After Liang Guogong knew about it, he didn't dare to make a mistake. He immediately collected enough silver and two silver notes, personally brought the people to the government office, handed the money to Nangong Yu, apologized to him, and then slapped Liang Jue on both ears before sending him away. Bring back.
Liang Guogong originally thought that the matter would be settled if he lost money. Unexpectedly, someone reported the matter to the emperor in the court hall the next day.
When the emperor heard this, he didn't expect that the young masters of these aristocratic families in the capital were so arrogant now. Even the shops opened by Princess An, whom he respected, were smashed by them. The shops opened by ordinary people were also suppressed. He immediately ordered a strict investigation into the crimes committed by the young masters of the aristocratic family, and Duke Liang's government was the first to be involved. All the crimes they had committed were found out, and even the crimes committed by Duke Liang himself were found out.
Within half a month, after the emperor personally tried it, the title of Duke Liang was taken away, the mansion was confiscated, dozens of members of the family were exiled, and Concubine Shu was banished to the cold palace.
For a time, all the children of the aristocratic families in the capital were silent, and no one dared to do anything else, and there was no such thing as the young masters of the aristocratic families taking advantage of their power to bully others.
This matter soon reached the Empress Dowager, and she was also invited to the palace on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, she thought that the Empress Dowager was looking for her to punish her. Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager gave her many rewards for this.
"You have just arrived in the capital and you have been wronged like this. You really shouldn't have!" said the Empress Dowager. "It's time for these children of aristocratic families to be punished!"
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he smiled warmly and said, "Thank you, ancestors, for your compassion and for not being wronged. King Yu has already helped me seek justice that day."
"This child Yu'er is becoming more and more capable of taking on important responsibilities. He can share the emperor's worries. Good, very good!" the ancestor praised.
"Ancestor, my concubine was on the street a few days ago and came across something interesting that she wanted to give to you to play with. I wonder if I can bring it in?" Yuan Chuyi said, changing the subject. She didn't want to be discussed any longer.
"What a good thing, bring it to me and take a look!" the ancestor said happily.
Mammy immediately asked the maid who entered the palace with Yuan Chu to bring in a brocade box. Yuan Chuyi took it, put it on the table, and opened it. Inside was a pair of mahjong tiles made of citrine.
"These are called mahjong tiles. I came across them when I was wandering the streets a few days ago. The old man selling them said that playing with them can relieve boredom and strengthen the brain, so I bought a few pairs and went back to play with the prince and the others. I thought it was very fun, so I’ll also get a pair for you and the ladies to play with and relieve your boredom.” Yuan Chuyi said with a smile.
