Chapter 23 The Daoist of Peace(1/2)
A call came from outside the door: "Qian's consort has arrived!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Princess Taiping's consort Qian Shoudao walked in casually. He was wearing casual clothes today and had been observing the crowd for a long time. When he saw that Li Baniang could not stand alone, he stood up.
The three presiding judges did not dare to neglect this popular man in the capital. They stood up and were about to salute when Prince Consort Qian waved his hand and said, "I have nothing to do today and I heard that the Shuntian Mansion Yamen is trying a case. I stopped by to take a look. I
I'm just here to observe and won't delay your trial."
Having said that, all three of them knew that Baihua Building was the property of Qian's Consort. Behind Qian's Consort, there was the powerful Princess Taiping. He didn't just happen to pass by. In Sun Mengwu's case, the plaintiff became the defendant and the witness
Becoming a murderer was different from what they expected, so they stood up to support Li Baniang.
Although these few are important officials in the capital, Princess Taiping's face must be given to her.
Nowadays, His Majesty is devoted to practicing Taoism and rarely asks about government affairs. However, he favors Princess Taiping. Even the few bachelors in the cabinet have to look at the princess's face. If you offend Princess Taiping, you will have to weigh your future career in the court.
one time.
Li Baniang's words were indeed much tougher.
"Three adults, although what we at Baihualou are not doing serious business, we still have a sense of proportion when it comes to matters of great right and wrong." She pointed at Fan and Zhao, "On the contrary, these two detectives, relying on the power in their hands,
We asked for food and took cards, but if we didn't succeed, they would poop or pee on our heads. In addition to asking for bribes, I went to our Baihua Building not long ago and ordered the four top cards of spring, summer, autumn and winter. It cost me 24 taels of silver.
Not only us, but also many guests present at the time witnessed this matter. Sir, you cannot ignore this matter."
What a good graft.
Li Baniang managed to change the topic after some nonsense.
Sun Zhaohai coughed twice and said, "This matter has nothing to do with this case. If you have any objections, you can report the case to their six doors."
Consort Qian smiled and said: "After all, he is just a businessman. Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials. However, if this matter is true, I really doubt the character of these two head catchers."
Fan Xiaodao became angry when he heard this. Prostitution for free? Asking for a bribe? The problem is that we didn't see the girl, and we didn't get any money. This kind of thing was made out of nothing.
He asked, "I don't understand something, please give me some advice."
"What's the matter?"
"According to Ming law, if someone is beaten in public, what is the punishment?"
Sun Zhaohai said: "Then we have to look at the extent of the injuries of the person who was beaten. The minor punishment could be confiscation of property, and the worst could be three to five years. If a person is killed, he will not have to pay for his life."
Consort Qian saw that Fan Xiaodao was just a boy in his twenties, so he didn't take him seriously and said, "Why, you want to hit someone?"
"I want to hit you."
"Do you dare to hit me?"
Fan Xiaodao said to everyone: "You heard it, he asked me to hit him."
After that, he came to Qian's consort and slapped him lightly on the face.
It's not very harmful, but it's extremely insulting.
Sure enough, the calm look on Qian's consort's face disappeared and he became furious and said angrily: "You are so bold and cunning that you dare to insult my consort, Sun Zhaohai. I order you to put him in jail immediately."
"this……"
Fan Xiaodao said: "Sir, it is not right for me to beat someone, and I plead guilty. You just said that the crime is a light punishment, and I am willing to pay ten copper coins to settle the matter with Qian's consort."
Ten copper coins?
Is this about money?
This is the face of the consort, this is the face of the royal family. Do you want to use money for personal gain? With so many properties under his name, is the consort Qian a master who is short of money? Is this something that money can solve?
He took out an ingot of gold and slapped it on the table.
"In this case, let me give you a beating, and the gold will be yours!"
Qian's consort was a martial artist and was skilled in sword and horse skills. He originally wanted to kill the enemy and serve the country. Later, he fought in the north and the south and crawled into Princess Taiping's bed. Although he had been drained by drinking and debauchery over the years, he still had strength. This punch came with great force.
, with the sound of whistling wind.
Before he could touch Fan Xiaodao, he heard Fan Xiaodao scream and flew out.
boom!
It hit a stone lion at the entrance of the lobby.
Boom!
The stone lion broke into two halves.
Fan Xiaodao closed his eyes tightly and lost his breath.
When Zhao Xing saw this, he shouted: "The prince consort used his power to commit murder and killed someone in public!"
Qian's Prince Consort was completely stunned. He just wanted to teach Fan Xiaodao a lesson, but why did he die before the punch even hit him? It's true that he was the Prince Consort, and he wasn't afraid of causing trouble in private, but after all, he was
Relative, when so many people kill people, if it is reported to the palace, even Princess Taiping will not be able to protect him.
"Nonsense, I didn't even meet him!"
Zhao Xing put his hand on Fan Xiaodao's pulse door and said: "He has no pulse at all. The punch just now shattered Fan Xiaodao's heart and internal organs. Without thirty years of internal strength, it is impossible to do it. The emperor broke the law and
The common people are guilty of the same crime and must kill to pay for their lives, Prince Consort, you are in trouble!"
Consort Qian was also at a loss, "What should I do?"
Zhao Xing said in a low voice: "It's not that there is no way. I think Xiaodao's heart has just been cut off, and he can be saved. Someone with strong martial arts skills can use his internal strength to connect his heart. Maybe he can save his life."
"Where is this person?"
Zhao Xingdao: "What a coincidence, I have this ability."
"That's not going to save people."
"It's not that it's not important to save people, but it will cost me thirty years of effort, so the gain outweighs the loss."
"Are you noble this year?"
"twenty one."
Consort Qian said: "Even if you practiced cultivation since your mother's womb, I'm afraid you won't have enough energy within thirty years."
Zhao Xingdao: "I am gifted with extraordinary talents, and I have been soaked in miraculous medicines since I was a child. I have spent a lot of money. Therefore, one year of practice is equivalent to three years of practice for others."
"Then tell me how to save people."
"Ten ingots of gold."
Consort Qian said: "I don't have that much money."
Zhao Xing smiled and said: "It's okay, you can write an IOU."
Seeing that Qian's son-in-law had lost his position, Li Baniang said: "Prince-in-law, please don't listen to their nonsense."
Zhao Xingdao: "If we don't save him, I'm afraid we won't be able to save him."
Consort Qian was in a state of confusion. He borrowed paper and pen from the clerk, wrote an IOU, dried the ink, and handed it to Zhao Xing.
Zhao Xing then said, "As expected of a prince-in-law, he collects people's money and eliminates disasters with them. I will help you save people right away!"
At this time, a rich voice was heard saying: "Pindao is not afraid of wasting thirty years of skill. Let Pindao help him connect to this little brother's heart!"
Everyone looked up and saw a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and a five-beam crown coming into the lobby.
When Sun Zhaohai and others saw this, they stood up quickly and saluted one after another: "I have seen Taoist Taiping!"
Taiping Taoist?
When all the people heard that this was the Grand Master of the Ming Dynasty, Taoist Priest Taiping of Taiping Taoist Temple, they knelt down and said, "Kowtow to the Master!"
What is the most important thing tomorrow?
Not the cabinet.
But Taiping Taoist Temple.
Although Taiping Taoist Temple is not an official office of the imperial court, it is responsible for an extremely important task, which is to refine elixirs for His Majesty the Emperor. In the affairs of the imperial court, where is His Majesty's dream of immortality more important? And Taiping Taoist Priest is Taiping Taoist Temple.
The viewer.
The chief minister and assistant minister of the cabinet can be changed at will, whoever he is or is not.
But Taoist Master Taiping is the only one in the world. It is said that the elixir he refined has the effect of bringing the dead back to life and making bones regenerate flesh. For more than 20 years, he has won the trust of His Majesty. Even the consort of Qian will not be in front of Taoist Taiping.
Dare to make mistakes.
When Zhao Xing saw this, he squeezed Fan Xiaodao and said, "Taoist Master has worked hard to refine elixirs for Your Majesty. There is no need to waste your cultivation on such a trivial matter, so let me do it for you."
Taiping Taoist Master said: "It's nothing important to mention a trivial matter. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. I have lived for three hundred years. Spending some internal energy to save people can be regarded as a good deed."
Zhao Xingxin said, "You are still three hundred years old, wouldn't you become a goblin?"
Unexpectedly, Taiping Taoist Master came to Fan Xiaodao and placed his hand on Fan Xiaodao's Tanzhong point. Zhao Xing's face was shocked. It was one of the four fatal points. If he really had evil intentions,
Fan Xiaodao was afraid that his life would be in danger.
It's really like shooting yourself in the foot.
It's too late to say it, but it's soon.
