Chapter 458 Leng Xian fainted and was carried by a wooden board
The master and the chief clerk walked into the study and bowed to Zheng Tong to apologize, "Please forgive me, sir!
Please forgive me for being late due to oversleeping!"
Zheng Tong looked up at the two of them and smiled, "Why do you two gentlemen say that?
It turned out that I had something to do and got up early.
But you two came at the right time.
Come forward!"
Zheng Tong raised his hand and called the lawyer and the chief clerk to come forward.
"Yes, my lord!"
The two walked up to the table.
Zheng Tong informed the chief clerk and the legal advisor that someone had delivered the account books at night.
When the two heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised, "Is there such a thing?"
Zheng Tong nodded, then raised his hand and pointed to the large pile of account books on the blue cloth, and said, "These are them.
This officer has checked a portion of it;
There are still quite a few left.
You two came at the right time.
Let’s check the existing ones first!”
"Yes!"
The two of them responded quickly.
There was only one copy of Fu Baozhen's dowry list.
So the lawyer and the chief clerk each brought a stool and sat on either side of the table.
They each took an account book and opened it, checking and recording the items and quantities one by one against the dowry list.
The three of them were silent, just busying themselves with their work.
Only after these are sorted out can the final result be obtained.
As for how many valuable items were missing before the Marquis' Mansion was robbed, I'm afraid we'll have to rely on torture to find out!
Zheng Tong, the chief clerk and the legal advisor were very busy.
Shi Mo brought tea and snacks. Zheng Tong and the other two simply had breakfast in the study and continued to work on the account books and dowry lists.
Zheng Tong also showed the piece of paper in the bundle to the legal advisor and the chief clerk.
The above message also remained in the minds of the legal advisor and the chief clerk.
Next time, I won’t dare to be careless or negligent in doing things!
In order to give justice to God, they both need to do their part!
An Guo Gongfu.
Early in the morning, when the women in the mansion sent Duke Anguo Fu Peng, Fu Yinglan and Fu Yingze out to attend the morning court, it was still dark.
I've already gotten up, there's no reason to go back to sleep.
After breakfast, a while later, brothers Fu Mingjun and Fu Mingxiu also got up and went out...
One went to the Dali Temple and the other went to the Hanlin Academy.
As for the petition of grievance, it can be sent to Shuntian Prefecture by the steward of the Duke's Mansion after daybreak.
After all, after receiving the petition, Zheng Tong, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, had to review it carefully first;
After that, personnel had to be dispatched to bring the defendants to the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen for trial.
All this takes time.
The real interrogation should be in the afternoon.
By then, Duke Anguo Fu Peng and his two sons had also left the morning court;
The brothers Fu Mingjun and Fu Mingxiu also returned from the government office;
Together with the women in the family, as well as Luo Yun and Luo Hongtao, grandparents and grandchildren, they all went to the Shuntian government office together.
Today is the day to avenge years of hatred!
royal palace.
Leng Xian, who had fainted, fell down on the palace path in an ungraceful manner.
The groups of civil and military officials had already gone far away.
During this time, no one turned back to look at Qinxing Hou Leng Xian who was following them.
Or maybe he deliberately didn't look at it.
No one paid attention to whether Leng Xian caught up or not.
The palace is not like the streets in the market, bustling with people coming and going.
This is the former court of the imperial palace.
Apart from a few eunuchs and palace maids occasionally walking around, there would also be a team of patrolling imperial guards that would appear from time to time.
Apart from this, there is no one else.
Just now, a group of court officials had been delayed for some time outside Donghua Gate, and now they had no time to sit in the court room and drink tea.
So, everyone simply went directly to wait outside the Golden Palace.
Only a few young eunuchs who were walking behind saw Leng Xian fainting.
These little eunuchs were the ones who had just been watching the fun at Donghuamen with Xiao Dongzi.
A few people were walking slowly behind...
As he walked, he pointed and poked at the staggering Leng Xian in front of him...
while walking……
"Hey hey... look, look, why did the Lord Leng in front of us fall down?"
Following the exclamation of a young eunuch, several people stopped and looked forward.
Leng Xian, who had just been struggling to move forward step by step, was now lying on the ground.
"Lord Leng can't walk anymore... so he's resting here?"
One of the young eunuchs pointed at Leng Xian who fell in front of him and whispered.
Several young eunuchs looked at each other, holding their whisks, quickened their pace a little, and walked closer to Leng Xian.
Several people looked at Leng Xian who was lying on the ground...
Leng Xian's eyes were closed, and his expression... uh... looking at Leng Xian's face right now, it was really hard to tell what his expression was.
Several people exchanged glances.
One of the young eunuchs took two steps forward, bent down, looked at Leng Xian, and called out, "My Lord!
Lord Leng!
What's wrong with you?
Why are you sleeping here?"
This sentence almost made the young eunuchs behind laugh.
"Pooh!
Who would sleep on the cold ground so early in the morning?
If you can’t speak, just shut up.”
A young eunuch came over with a giggle, pushed away the young eunuch who had just spoken, and pretended to scold him.
"Master Hou! Master Hou!"
I called him twice but he didn't wake up.
"Did Lord Leng faint?
I heard that Lord Leng hasn't attended court for several days. He said he had taken sick leave and was recuperating in his mansion!
This is... the illness is not healed yet?"
A few people looked into the distance...
All the court officials had already left!
Then he looked down at Leng Xian who was unconscious on the ground...
A few people gathered together and whispered a few words.
The two young eunuchs walked towards the low palace room nearby.
After a while, two people came out and worked together to carry out a piece of wood.
It seems that they are planning to use this wooden board to carry Leng Xian away.
This piece of wood is quite long, more than two meters long.
But it's only about one foot wide.
But I couldn't find anything suitable at the moment, so I had to make do with the materials!
