The prince of love, the wealth has come to me
Chapter 40: A Corrupt Official Who Protects a Bully
Liang Qingshan frowned, wondering who this young lady was and what she meant by asking this question.
However, when speaking and doing things in public, one still needs to be respectful.
"Ridiculous! If this is true, I will punish you severely. But it's just a rumor, so don't take it seriously."
Then he turned his gaze to the onlookers, "Has anyone ever come to the government office to sue Xue Wang? Tell me all the grievances you have, and I will do justice for you. But you better think before you speak. If you are lying, don't blame me for being merciless."
The crowd was deathly silent. Some lowered their heads, some silently shed tears, but no one dared to stand up.
Ling Yueqing was simply astonished. Faced with such an obvious threat, who would dare to tell the truth?
"Sir, I have a grievance to appeal!" A voice came from behind. Young Master Qing, who had been beaten unconscious and had just woken up and took a breath, was supported by Yue Niang and walked over with difficulty.
He could see that there was collusion between officials and businessmen, so keeping silent was the best option at this time.
But he had to stand up, on the one hand to fight for hope for himself and Yue Niang, and on the other hand, what if the Jingzhao Yin did not dare to bend the law for personal gain in front of so many people?
The second reason was for Ling Yueqing. The girl had spoken up for him. If he became a coward, what would the girl do?
"Sir, my name is Lin Zhiqing, and I am a scholar who came to Beijing to take the imperial examination. Today, I was traveling with my wife and encountered this bully. He tried to rob my wife in broad daylight and beat me up."
He was so angry that his cheeks flushed and his breathing became rapid. He stopped to take a breath before continuing, "Thanks to the help of this girl, my husband and I were able to escape danger. I hope you can see clearly and give justice to us and forgive this girl."
Lin Zhiqing and Yue Niang knelt down in front of Liang Qingshan.
"Do you have any witnesses or physical evidence for what you said?" Liang Qingshan frowned, looking very impatient.
"Everyone present is a witness, and the injuries on my body are physical evidence."
"These injuries cannot be used as physical evidence. Xue Wang and others also have many injuries."
"As for witnesses? I don't think anyone present is willing to testify for you. Even if there is, I cannot confirm whether they colluded with you to give false testimony."
This one sentence stopped everyone who wanted to testify.
If they keep silent, they are not witnesses; if they speak, they are guilty of perjury.
"Your Excellency is wise!!!" Xue Wang flattered him earnestly, secretly feeling happy that the money he had spent over the years was not wasted!
"I..." Lin Zhiqing wanted to say something when he was arrested by the officers brought by Lin Qingshan.
Ling Yueqing was simply breathtaking!
She has seen quite a few corrupt officials over the years. They all appear to be serving the country and the people and are honest and upright, but they actually do shameful things behind the scenes.
It was the first time she had seen such an act of partiality, abuse of power, and threats and intimidation in front of so many people.
"Good, good, good." Ling Yueqing couldn't help but applaud.
Based on what Liang Qingshan said now, it is a foregone conclusion that he is shielding a bully, and all the people present are witnesses.
Moreover, he often insulted her in his words. Insulting a princess was no small crime, and what she wanted was enough.
The Dali Temple of this dynasty only tried difficult and important cases, and only cases that Jingzhao Yin could not try would be transferred to the Dali Temple. Presumably, the charge of insulting the princess was enough for the Dali Temple to try this case.
She didn't need to know what evil things Liang Qingshan had done. She just needed to give the Dali Temple a reason to investigate the case. As for the rest, that was the Dali Temple's responsibility to investigate the case.
Although she didn't know what kind of person this Dali Temple Minister was, with her as the princess taking the lead, there would surely be no situation of officials protecting each other.
So Ling Yueqing continued in a loud voice, "My Lord, are you going to cover up for me till the end?"
"I have always enforced the law impartially. You keep spreading rumors. What do you want to do? Take you back to the government office and I will try you slowly."
Upon hearing this, the officers behind her were about to step forward to arrest Ling Yueqing. Without a doubt, it was a matter of just a wave of her hand. Ling Yueqing overthrew these useless people who only ate government food and did nothing without any effort.
"You, you, you, don't come over here. If you dare to hit an official appointed by the imperial court, you will lose your head." Liang Qingshan looked at Ling Yue walking towards him, covering his head and stammering as he threatened.
"Don't worry, I won't beat you. Aren't we going to go back and interrogate you slowly? Let's go!"
Liang Qingshan and Xue Wang were confused, and so were the onlookers. What was wrong with this girl? She didn't run away quickly, but went to the government office. Once she got to the territory of this evil official, it would not be easy to get out.
Ling Yueqing made a gesture behind her. When Mo Yu saw it, he told everyone to keep a close eye on her and not let the princess get hurt, then he ran towards the Dali Temple.
Ling Yueqing walked to the government office first, and Dashun and Ershun followed behind, supporting Lin Zhiqing and his wife. She walked a few steps, turned back and said to Liang Qingshan, "I forgot to tell you that someone else will be in charge of the trial later!"
Then he called out to everyone, "Brothers and sisters, if you don't have any urgent matters at home, why don't you go and watch the fun together?"
After saying that, he walked forward without looking back.
"..." Liang Qingshan didn't say anything, but he felt disdainful in his heart. In this area, only Jingzhao Prefecture and Dali Temple had the power to try cases, and the Dali Temple didn't care about such small cases at all. Was she planning to try the case?
Thinking of this, Liang Qingshan's mouth curled up into a vicious smile, and he gasped in pain as his wound was pulled. If she really sat on the official chair of Jingzhao Prefecture, it would be a violation of the emperor's majesty, and no one could save her!
The people followed at the back with confused looks on their faces, whispering to each other as they walked.
"What's going on? How did things develop to this point?"
"I don't know. I don't understand. I don't understand at all."
"But the girl's skills just now were really beautiful, it was really pleasing to the eyes!"
"Yeah, I think this girl is noble, maybe she is really an important person, otherwise who would dare to mess with this high-ranking official, he would eat her without leaving any bones."
"No matter who she is, if she can really punish these two evil people, I will pray for her every day from now on."
"Not only do I pray for her, I am willing to work like a slave for her."
The group soon arrived at Jingzhao Prefecture and entered smoothly. Seeing this, no one dared to stop them. Didn’t they see that the adults were hiding at the back with shy looks on their faces and didn’t say anything?
Ling Yueqing walked straight to the official chair in the center of the yamen hall and slowly sat down under Liang Qingshan's expectation.
At this moment, Liang Qingshan's eyes lit up. He seemed to have seen the scene of Ling Yueqing being pushed out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded.
Thinking of this, he suddenly became braver. Why would a dying person be afraid of her?
