Chapter 344: Xiang Zhuang's Sword Dance Aimed at Pei Gong

"Oh my God! Is there any law in this world? My son died unjustly, but there is no place to seek justice! My son, your death was so unjust!"

When the old woman heard that Mr. Qu Tu had died of illness last year, she burst into tears and wailed.

Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. This person is dead, who can I turn to for justice?

"My son! You died unjustly. Your parents have nowhere to go to seek justice for you. How can we poor people live?" Qin Fangcheng echoed his words.

"Oh, isn't this the troublemaker from Qinjia Village who offended the third son of the prefect last year?" some people remembered.

"It's that guy, he deserves it! Thirty lashes is not enough! He has the nerve to cry out for injustice!" someone cursed.

"Shi Yan, Chen Yan, tell me quickly, what's going on?" Su Zhongyan shook his two cousins.

He read the petition, which was written by his eldest cousin Shi Yan, who studied law. The format of the petition was neat, the wording was sharp, and the language was incisive.

In these years in Chang'an, Lord Qu Tu has become quite famous. Although the Su family is of low rank, they have long heard of his great name. He is one of the major contributors to the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

Did Su Shiyan get kicked in the head by a donkey? He even dared to write such a petition! Was he unhappy because the Su family was living in peace?

On the way, Magistrate Hu and Mrs. Hu wrote to him, saying that they had learned that his father had been pardoned and they urgently recalled him to Chang'an. His second and third uncles were both promoted.

The Su family finally managed to turn things around, but Su Shiyan wanted to destroy it with just a complaint!

Su Zhongyan had never disliked his two cousins ​​so much. They were stupid and unaware of their own mistakes. They always liked to boast about their nobleness and blame others, but they never achieved anything.

"I'm sorry!" Su Chenyan murmured, "We wanted to delay, but we didn't expect Grandpa and the others to steal the complaint!"

"Why did you write? Who asked you to write? Didn't you think about the Su family when you wrote it?" Su Zhongyan said hatefully.

"Don't you have a brain? Don't you know who you are suing? What can the Su family use to fight against others? The lives of the Su family depend on this. Why should you be so troubled? Huh?"

Su Shiyan and Su Chenyan didn't say anything. They didn't want to say anything. Now that things had come to this, they didn't know how to end it.

"Brother, brother, you are confused!" Su Zhaoyan said disappointedly.

I came out to study and broaden my horizons, and figure out many things. Although I was only eight years old, I had seen famous mountains and rivers, and met all kinds of businessmen and all kinds of low-level people.

Broaden your horizons and grow rapidly.

I had only met my two brothers for a quarter of an hour and had not yet had time to exchange greetings.

Seeing his grandparents making such a commotion with the petition written by his brother, apart from anything else, he understood one thing: this was not going to end well for the Su family!

The Su family is like a big tree. When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer.

"Zhao Yan!" Bing Yan pulled his cousin and whispered in his ear.

The two little brothers have been playing together since they were young, and they are inseparable wherever they go.

"Yeah!" Zhao Yan nodded continuously.

"Grandma!" Zhao Yan came to the old woman.

"My son, you..." The old woman was crying rhythmically when she was interrupted.

Looking at the bright-eyed child in an orange vest, he asked, "Zhao, Zhao Yan?"

He is no longer the chubby little boy he was when he was a child. He has become thinner and taller.

She doesn't look like Qin Jiuniang, but the two older grandsons look like members of the Qin family.

The youngest one looks like a Su family member, especially his eyes! They are unique to the Su family: clear, open, and wise.

"Grandma, there's no point in crying anymore. Didn't the police officer come back? His family is a seventh-rank county magistrate and can't accept the complaint." Su Zhaoyan advised, "Why don't we go to the government office and file a complaint?"

The old woman stared blankly at her grandson. "Yeah, why are you clinging to me?" "How can a small official control a big official?"

"But isn't he Lord Qu Tu who is in the government office? Can we sue him?" The old woman didn't move.

"Grandma, if he doesn't accept it, then we will go to the capital and file a complaint at the Dali Temple!" Su Zhaoyan said seriously.

Su Zhongyan was stunned. Was this little cousin afraid that things wouldn't get out of hand?

Looking at Bingyan, the two brothers have been chirping for a long time, and that’s it?

Bing Yan smiled faintly at his cousin, his eyes calm and confident, signaling his cousin to be patient.

"Our Zhaoyan is really smart!" The old woman wiped her face and got up. "Come on, Bao'er's father, let's go to the government office and file a complaint!"

The onlookers were whispering to each other, saying that the Qin family was really crazy and dared to file a complaint at the government office!

Su Zhaoyan helped his grandmother to stand up. She had been kneeling for a long time and could not get up, and the petition fell to the ground.

"Grandma, let me hold it for you!" Su Zhaoyan quickly picked up the petition and put it in his arms.

"No need, that was your uncle's injustice! Grandma feels at ease with it! Give it to me!" The old woman asked her little grandson for it.

"Big brother, second brother, come and support grandpa and grandma!" Su Zhaoyan ignored them and called out to his two brothers.

The two brothers Su Shiyan didn't react in time and were pushed over by Su Zhongyan to support their grandparents.

Su Zhaoyan took the opportunity to get rid of the complaint, slipped to Su Zhongyan's side, and quickly handed the complaint to his cousin.

Su Zhongyan calmly put the money in his arms and the group squeezed out of the crowd.

"Zhao Yan!" The old woman shouted loudly because she didn't see her little grandson.

"Hey, grandma, I'm here!" Su Zhaoyan answered from behind.

"Don't get lost, follow grandma!" The old woman was thinking about the complaint.

"Grandson knows!" Su Zhaoyan answered obediently.

Su Zhongyan brought Bingyan back to the inn, took out the petition and read it carefully, then remained silent.

I have to say that Su Shiyan's writing is excellent. Every word is tearful and moving, making people feel indignant and hate the injustice of the world! They pity those who died unjustly and have no place to seek justice.

"Bingyan, what do you think?" Su Zhongyan asked.

"Brother, this is just the Qin family's one-sided statement. We don't know the truth, and it's hard to judge the right and wrong.

I think Uncle Qin is guilty of insubordination, and for this reason alone, there is no doubt that the government will punish him.

Furthermore, Uncle Qin died of illness a dozen days later, which was related to the beating, but also unrelated.

Many people were beaten with sticks, and some were even killed on the spot. Uncle Qin delayed for some time, and the bailiffs did not use any secret means.

Besides, why didn't you file a complaint when he died last year? Why did the two brothers, Shi Yan and Chen Yan, come looking for him and feel as if they were wronged as if they were on the verge of death, beating drums to protest their grievances?

My brother feels that Qin's grandfather is like Xiang Zhuang dancing with a sword, aiming at Pei Gong! The report to the prefect is false, and the real purpose is to destroy the Su family. As for why he hates the Su family so much, my brother does not know.

"Well, Bingyan's analysis makes sense!" Su Zhongyan agreed.

Ever since Second Aunt and Su He were kicked out of the Su family, the two cousins ​​have become stubborn and awkward.

If I'm not mistaken, it must be the two cousins ​​who told me that my second aunt was divorced, otherwise it would be hard to explain where the hatred came from.

But if the Su family falls, what will happen to his own grandson?

Su Zhongyan was struggling with the complaint, wondering whether to burn it.

"Brother, why don't you burn this trouble quickly? What's the point of keeping it?" Bingyan was puzzled.

"I'm worried, what if Uncle Qin is really wronged..." Su Zhongyan thought that he was too selfish and cold-blooded.

"Brother, if it is really an injustice, won't Brother Shi Yan write it again? Then the Qin family will be in real trouble!" Bing Yan said angrily.
