Leng Shangshu didn't say anything, just silently took Su Xiao around and visited the various places of the Xingbu Yamen.
Halfway through, Leng Shangshu suddenly said.
"Are you from Suzhou?"
"Ah, yes." Su Xiao touched his head: "I, the student, are from Suzhou. It's been less than half a year since I came to Nanjing."
Leng Shangshu nodded: "Since you are a foreigner, have you been to many interesting places in Nanjing City?"
Su Xiao was overjoyed when he heard it, it turns out that Leng Shangshu is quite approachable!
"I've been there! The students and the brothers at Six Doors often go out, and I've been to many places in Jinling."
"Well, do you like to go out and play?" Leng Shangshu nodded again, "No wonder people say that you are poor in martial arts."
"… "
This guy is so hot! !
This is Leng Shangshu's first impression of Su Xiao.
After that, Su Xiao was cautious and didn't talk to Leng Shangshu very much. He only answered a question when he asked a question. But it didn't take long...
"Xiaohan, how old are you?"
Su Xiao is tall, with a long body and long legs, and looks very right around Ming Feizhen... No, he doesn't look short, so it often gives the illusion that he is not young.
Su Xiao explained: "I told people that I was sixteen years old... but it hasn't arrived yet. The report is a false age. I was born in August in the fourteenth year of Yuan Sheng, and it is summer's birthday."
"That's fifteen. Young and promising."
Not knowing why he was praised, Su Xiao touched his head and said embarrassedly, "No, no. It's all a blind cat hitting a dead mouse."
Leng Shangshu silently praised: "When I became an official at the age of fifteen, I almost broke the record of being the youngest female official by Deputy Governor Shen."
"..." Su Xiao: "I'm a man!!"
Leng Shangshu tilted his head as if he didn't understand, but behind him a group of Punishment officials appeared out of nowhere: "Ha?! Sister, you lied!"
Su Xiao: "Why are you complaining!"
After visiting the yamen of the Ministry of Justice and explaining the working principle of the Ministry of Justice, the understanding of the headquarters of the Ministry of Justice is over.
"I'll take you to visit the prison of the Ministry of Justice in a while."
Su Xiao nodded: "Oh."
"What? You're not afraid?"
"Is it a prison? I'm okay. Teacher Leng, is that place scary?"
"It's not scary." Leng Shangshu shook his head: "It's just that more people died."
Seeing Su Xiao's delicate appearance, the waiter of the Ministry of Punishment couldn't help but care: "Master Su, there are many prisoners in the prison. It's good to have a look at a person like you."
Su Xiao: "It's nothing, I have encountered these situations before when investigating cases. You don't have to treat me preferentially."
The minister of punishment: "Master Su, young Yingjie, you have a lot of knowledge! So you have seen a death row prisoner?"
"No." Su Xiao smiled: "But I used chopsticks to examine the body."
The Minister of Punishment: "..."
When I walked to the entrance of the yamen, I suddenly heard a noise outside.
Leng Shangshu and Su Xiao walked in front and were about to see it when suddenly a person ran in, ran from the gate to the front yard, and then threw himself on the ground, crying and wiping away his tears, shouting: "It's unfair! June! It's flying frost! It's tragic!"
Look closely, this man is dressed in coarse cloth, dressed as a woman. Looking at the age of about thirty-five or six, she turned out to be a peasant woman. As soon as she pounced in, the yamen behind her pulled her to get up. Who knew that this woman was used to the crops, and she was so strong that she pushed the yamen away and sat on the ground still shouting 'no reason' and 'injustice' Such words, his voice was extremely loud, and a lot of people in the official office were alarmed.
The Minister of Punishment said angrily: "Bold! He Fang shrew, what is this place, and you can make trouble? You still haven't won it?"
"Who dares to touch her!"
Suddenly, there was another loud voice from the entrance of the yamen, and when I saw that there were more than ten burly men entering the door. They were dark, unremarkable in appearance, and looked very strong, and at a glance they could be seen as farmers who were accustomed to farm work. Come with this woman.
Sure enough, a man inside said: "You officials are guarding each other, and you want to capture this homeless woman who has nowhere to go, do you really have to force the dead to do it!"
The man was so angry that he looked at the door again, and the yamen guarding the door was knocked unconscious. These peasants seem to be incapable of martial arts, but their strength is not small, and the number of them is large.
The woman sat on the ground and shouted: "It's bitter! Look at how you officials have no faces! That man of mine is an honest peasant. He came to the city to work in the slack in winter. The official took him away. He was just wronged for playing black fists and put in a big prison."
Cry louder and louder,
Several farmers came over to persuade: "Big sister, don't cry. Today we will let these dog officials give you justice."
The waiter of the Ministry of Punishment said: "I'm scolding people! You peasants, don't give this official some rules!"
The farmers said angrily: "You are still trying to be aggressive and domineering. It seems that you don't care about this matter!" Although this is the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, these officials are powerless. Where can they be these opponents who are used to rough people, when they come over, they quickly step back.
When Su Xiao saw it, he stepped forward and shouted, "What do you want to do?"
But as soon as he took the first step, a hand stopped him.
Leng Shangshu stopped Su Xiao back and stood in front of Su Xiao.
"Can't do it, there are many people on the other side."
Su Xiao thought: So he was protecting me
Leng Shangshu: "I don't know martial arts. If I do anything, I will be beaten to death."
Su Xiao: "..."
Although these farmers were illiterate, they were not rambunctious people. Seeing the appearance of these scholars, it seems that the officials show timidity, and it is not good to fight.
The most sturdy farmer rolled his eyes and said, "Sister Niu, do you care about it? What's wrong with the officials in the world? Don't you care about the lives of the common people?"
Su Xiao saw that the woman was crying, and these farmers didn't look like bad people, and said softly: "This uncle, what's wrong with you, please tell us well. It's not good to make a lot of noise in the yamen. ."
The big man pouted: "I, Mao Dali, is just so confused. If I don't enter the official gate in this life, and if I die in hell, I still don't understand? If we can say it normally, we still need to come here to break in
This is Mrs. Niu. Her man went out to work during the slack, and only came to your Nanjing city for two months, so he was tricked into doing hard labor. Now I have asked your officials to arrest them again. Isn't this going to kill people? Brother Niu is honest, who can't kick a fart with three legs. His body has always been weak, and he is worse than his wife, how could he fight black fists. With your arrest, Sister-in-law Niu's family will not be able to thrive, so she will be starved of food and clothing. There are still a few months in the winter, how do you want them orphans and widows to survive at home? "
Su Xiao finally understood this time, and just wanted him to be more detailed, but Leng Shangshu said it first.
"You are mistaken."
Mao Dali said, "What went wrong?"
