Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Ran has lived two lives before and after time travel, but he has never been promoted to a government official or solved a case. He found this scene in front of him very interesting.  The ones to be tried today are a group of female relatives captured in Zongjiazhuang, old and young, about twenty or thirty people.

    After Zongjiazhuang was conquered, Zhao Ran's power of merit increased sharply, which made him understand that eradicating the evil cult that fooled and deceived people's hearts was also a matter of great merit.  This time when he came here, he also had the idea of ????taking the opportunity to experience more.

    Today's court ruling is actually just a formality. According to the court's decree, the things Zong Weiwu committed were so big that basically none of his family members had to run away. They were either executed, moved three thousand miles away, or sold into slavery.  Walking around the hall is to distinguish between who will be executed, who will be exiled, and who will be sold.

    Some of these female relatives were really brainwashed by Zong Weiwu. After being brought to court one by one, they refused to plead guilty. No matter how big the torture instrument was, they always said one sentence: "The great calamity is coming, sacrifice your life for justice." As for what the great calamity is,  These people didn't know how to find justice after giving up their lives, and Zhao Ran couldn't help but feel deeply sad for it.

    Director Dong asked Zhao Ran for his opinion, and Zhao Ran could only answer "According to the law." So Director Dong signed the signature, and these people were dragged down. What awaited them would be beheading, but they needed to report to the Ministry of Punishment for review and ask for the beheading.  The time will be "after autumn".

    There were also some elderly female relatives who were more adventurous and kept pleading guilty, so they were sentenced to exile and serve as slaves in border towns.  There were eight other girls under the age of twelve, and several were even less than five or six years old. They were frightened and cried in the lobby. Zhao Ran felt very uncomfortable in his heart.  His fate will be to sell Jiaofang Si into slavery.

    The case was concluded quickly. Director Dong handed the petition to Zhao Ran for review. Zhao Ran signed the pledge, and Director Dong and Jin County Lieutenant also followed suit. The lawsuit was finally settled.

    Zhao Ran looked at the young girls and always felt depressed, as if something was stuck in his chest.  Suddenly, a little girl with twins started crying: "I want to eat, I'm so hungry"

    Zhao Ran's heart felt as if he was struck by lightning. He could no longer pretend to be calm. He turned to Director Dong and said, "These children are still young. How can they know so many things? They must have nothing to do with Zong Weiwu's affairs.  Is it possible to tolerate extradition to the law?¡±

    "Master Dong looked at Jin County Lieutenant in embarrassment. Jin County Lieutenant coughed and said: "Zhao Fangzhu, this is the law of the imperial court"

    Zhao Ran nodded: "Pindao understands Is this good? Aren't you selling Jiaofangsi as slaves? Pindao will pay for them and then buy them from Jiaofangsi."

    Master Dong hesitated for a moment and sighed: "Master Fang is merciful, so that's fine, but we still need to report it to Ming Kong County Master."

    Zhao Ran sat and waited in the yamen. After Kong County Master agreed, he immediately sent someone to find the steward of the Jiaofang Division and went through the formalities. Zhao Ran bought the eight girls for sixty-eight taels of silver.  Got off.

    What Zhao Ran didn¡¯t expect was that his merit power also increased by eight silk threads, which was regarded as a reward for his kindness.

    After sending these girls to the Charity Hall in the east of the city, Zhao Ran asked Manager Li to take good care of them, then he set foot on the official road and rushed towards the West Zhenwu Palace.

    Xizhenwu Palace is located in the city of Long'an Prefecture. Pingwu County is an affiliated county of Long'an Prefecture, so it is actually within Pingwu County.  This time Zhao Ran went alone, without anyone else, so he could let the old donkey go on his way happily.  The old donkey's legs were really strong, and it only took him one day to reach Pingwu County.

    It was already late when Zhao Ran arrived, so he found an inn to stay for the night. After getting up at dawn the next day, he finished washing, asked the innkeeper about the location of Xizhenwu Palace, and came to Fuya Street.

    Due to the war, Xizhenwu Palace has been requisitioned by Xuanyuan Temple and other Taoist palaces. Zhao Ran followed the store's instructions and went to the Long'an Palace next door. He saw the plaque "Xizhenwu Palace Auxiliary Courtyard" hanging on the door.  .

    There were officers transferred from the government to guard the door outside. After Zhao Ran showed his family's ultimatum and appointment documents, he was invited to wait in the entrance room.  After waiting for a while, a middle-aged Taoist priest walked in through the curtain. Zhao Ran quickly stood up to greet him.

    The Taoist priest looked Zhao Ran up and down and asked, "Are you Zhao Zhiran, the master of Wujiyuan's Fangtang?"

    Zhao Ran respectfully replied: "That's right. Dare you give the Taoist title?"

    The Taoist priest smiled and said: "I am a poor Taoist, Sun Tengmo, who is the doorman of the living room of Xizhenwu Palace."

    Zhao Ran looked up and said: "It turns out to be Master Sun, my nephew is polite."

    The door of the living room of Xizhenwu Palace is on the same level as the head of the square hall of Wujiyuan. However, Zhao Ran came from the Taoist Academy and is naturally one step lower than the Taoist priests in the Taoist Palace. Therefore, he is called "Uncle Master" and is very respectful.  .

    Sun Tengmo smiled and waved: "No need to be polite." Dashi sat down on the chair and motioned for Zhao Ran to sit down.??Next to him.  It seemed rude, but it made people feel very kind, which made Zhao Ran feel good about him.

    Zhao Ran quickly explained his purpose of coming and said that he wanted to meet with Du Guan Jing Zhimo. Sun Tengmo replied that Du Guan was busy at the moment and needed to wait for a while, so he asked Zhao Ran to wait.

    Sun Tengmo started to chat with Zhao Ran, sometimes asking about the situation of Wuji Courtyard, and sometimes talking about interesting things in Pingwu County.  During this period, he also asked Zhao Ran if he had any relationship with Jing Zhimo. Zhao Ran didn't want to be shy and lied, so he said that he came here on the recommendation of Liu Zhiguang, Liu Gaogong, and there was a letter from Liu Gaogong saying so.

    Zhao Ran observed his words and found that Sun Tengmo's enthusiasm for chatting with him was rapidly declining. After thinking about it for a while, he knew what he meant.

    He weighed it up. The reception fee for the Huoju in Wujiyuan's living room is usually one penny. The first-level steward personally receives it, which is about two pence. This is the Xizhenwu Palace, so Zhao Ran added ten times more.  , prepare to give two taels, it is enough no matter what.  But he didn't have any broken silver on hand. He touched his arms and found that the smallest silver ingot was five taels. He simply took it out and stuffed it into Sun Tengmo's hand: "My nephew came in a hurry. He didn't bring any earthly rituals, just a few  The money is used to honor my uncle, and I hope my uncle will accept it with his smile."

    Sun Tengmo weighed the silver ingots in his hand, looked at Zhao Ran with a half-smile, then stood up and said, "Master Nephew Zhao, please sit down. I'll go take a look. I don't know if Jingdu is free at the moment."

    "Thank you, Uncle Sun." Zhao Ran stood up and sent Sun Tengmo out of the concierge. As soon as he turned around, he heard the concierge Sun Tengmo "hum" and muttered: "You want to send me away for five taels of silver?  "

    Zhao Ran was startled. He looked out through the curtain and saw Sun Tengmo walking away, looking very unhappy.  He thought to himself that the gift he gave to the door was already quite large, far beyond the normal amount. Why did Sun's door gift seem too small?

    But he said that Sun Tengmo left the concierge, entered the inner courtyard and turned into a side room, where sat this Taoist priest who was about the same age as him.  The Taoist priest smiled and asked, "Junior Brother Sun, how was your trip?"

    Sun Tengmo sneered: "What a generous gift, I gave you five taels."

    The Taoist priest said "Oh" and nodded: "It's quite a lot, several times more than others. It shows that what I said is not bad. Zhao Zhiran from Wujiyuan is a financial sponsor."

    "But you don't talk as much as Senior Brother Zhuang! Is Zhao Zhiran really rich?"

    "How can I lie to you? In the past few months, he has been repairing people's houses and giving porridge to people, and the money he has given away is probably no less than a thousand taels. None of the supervisors, Sandu and deacons of Wujiyuan have not  Have you received hundreds or thousands of money from him? Otherwise, with three years of experience in the Taoist Academy, how could he have climbed so fast?"

    Sun Tengmo said: "Then why did you give me five taels? Are you sending me a beggar?"

    Senior Brother Zhuang muttered: "Maybe there are other reasons? I heard that this person is extremely generous, and he shouldn't be." Then he comforted him: "That's right, managers like you and me are on the same level as him, and this  People can expect great achievements in the future, and when I don¡¯t ask for anything from you or me, it¡¯s not bad to give me five taels, so Junior Brother Sun, just be content.¡±

    When Sun Tengmo heard this, he became furious and sneered: "Are you looking down on us? Forget it, let him know whether he has ever asked for help from you or me."

    Senior Brother Zhuang persuaded: "Junior Brother Sun, don't get angry. It's not worth getting angry with him. Besides, managers like us really can't speak in the Taoist temple down here. Just be patient and let it pass. My secular nephew is not in Wuji."  Do you want to be a fire dweller in the courtyard? I have begged them for three years to let my nephew receive an ultimatum, but they still haven't given me this face. Haven't I just endured it? What can you do to him? "

    "What can I do to him? Hehe, didn't he ask for permission to see him? I just followed his wishes and asked if Jing could see him."
