Chapter 297 Fortunately
"Now that the person has been brought, I must go to court."
"This..." Wang Yanhua thought to himself, "Say I just happened to be passing by? Who would believe that?"
"Alright! Tell Lord Wang what grievances you have! He will certainly handle it impartially." Chang Le turned around and gave another instruction before leaving.
"Ahem! Whom are you suing? Hand over the complaint." Wang Yanhua said with a dry cough after sitting down behind the desk.
After taking the petition and reading it through, Wang Yanhua was immediately bewildered. It was actually a petition against the Emperor's brother-in-law.
I can't just ignore it! These people were sent by the Left Censor-in-Chief. How can I possibly manage them? I'll just offend the Virtuous Consort!
Shandong has fully implemented the separation of powers among the judiciary, administrative, and supervisory authorities. Once it's running smoothly, it will be rolled out nationwide. Unfortunately, it hasn't been implemented in Beijing yet; in that case, the top official still has to handle the decisions.
After Chang Le reported the matter to Wang Kaiyun, the two felt they should also report it to the Emperor. They went to the palace together.
"How dare he! Who does he think he is?" Shen Lian was furious upon hearing this.
"You don't need to care about the royal family's reputation. Just try him however you want! A prince is subject to the same laws as a commoner, let alone a mere viscount like him." Shen Lian waved his hand.
This Zhao Yide is utterly hopeless. Shen Lian, of course, knew his brother-in-law well; he had thought Zhao Yide had reformed in recent years. He never expected Zhao Yide to cause such a huge mess again.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Kaiyun and his companion were relieved to receive Shen Lian's reply.
"Minister Chang, you did a very good job!" Shen Lian praised Chang Le.
If Chang Le hadn't stopped them, hundreds of people would have come to the palace to complain, and the royal family would have lost face.
"This is what I should do!" Chang Le bowed.
"That's settled then! You guys go ahead and get busy!" Shen Lian nodded.
"My lord, the laborers are rebelling! None of them came to work today!" Huang Er arrived at the construction site early in the morning and found that none of the laborers had come to work. He hurried to the Viscount's mansion.
"Huang Er, what the hell are you yelling about so early in the morning! You can't even handle this little thing!" Zhao Yide went to a brothel last night and didn't get back until dawn. He didn't expect Jin Er to come over so soon after he fell asleep.
"If they don't work, why don't you send someone to arrest them? You idiot! If you delay the construction, I'll skin you alive!" Zhao Yide cursed angrily.
"Yes!" Jin Er turned around and prepared to lead his men to arrest the person, but as soon as he stepped out, he saw a group of constables and yamen runners from Shuntian Prefecture rushing over.
"Take them down!" Upon seeing the men armed with knives and guns, the head constable gave the order, and the constables surrounded them.
I was even thinking of going there to pick them up! But they're all here, saving me a lot of trouble.
"Hey! What are you doing? Do you know where you are? How dare you come to the Viscount's mansion to arrest someone!" Because Zhao Yide was backing him up, Jin Er didn't take these yamen runners seriously at all. He shouted loudly.
"Of course I know where this place is! Take them all down, and kill anyone who resists!" At the head constable's order, the constables and yamen runners pounced forward.
Jin Er and his gang of hooligans dared not resist and surrendered without resistance.
The commotion at the gate naturally alerted the people inside the mansion, and it was quickly reported to Zhao Yide.
"Southern Song Tune - Low-Clothed Hair Bun": Wen Tingyun's poem, "Low-clothed hair bun, delicate eyebrows. Longing for each other all day long. For you I grow thin and pale, even in the season of a hundred flowers," depicts a woman's weariness from longing for her distant lover, hinting at the depth of her yearning after a long separation, suggesting that their love will only intensify upon reunion.
- "Huanxi Sha - Let's Not Talk About Tears When We Meet Again": Ouyang Jiong's poem, "Let's not talk about tears when we meet again, for after the wine, we can reminisce about our joy. We sleep on golden pillows and behind phoenix screens. The fragrance of orchids and musk wafts from our breaths, and the delicate threads of silk reveal our skin. At this moment, I still regret that you are heartless," vividly depicts the joyous scene and complex emotions of lovers reuniting after a long separation.
