Gao Huaizhen, who got the news, was fooling around with a concubine. His good time was interrupted and his face turned frighteningly dark. He kicked the concubine away and angrily went to the front hall to meet people.
Seeing the five runners from the Dali Temple, he put on a serious face and said with the authority of a minister of six departments, "I don't know any Yu Meiyao."
The Dali Temple's runners were no ordinary runners. They immediately came up with a statement: "Lord Zhou has requested that Minister Gao must go to the Dali Temple. If Lord Gao refuses to cooperate, Lord Zhou has said that he will consult His Majesty for a decision."
Gao Huaizhen secretly cursed Zhou Qiheng in his heart as an iron hammer.
Serving in the same dynasty, everyone knows who is more capable than the other.
Few people who are targeted by Zhou Qiheng can escape unscathed.
Forget it, I'd better go with him. I can't do anything to him even if I go there.
Besides, that bitch didn't have any evidence.
"Okay, I'll prove my innocence and go with you to see Master Zhou."
Tian family.
Tian Ce, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and his wife, Mrs. Song, were visiting their son Tian Lin in his study, where his health had improved.
After hearing the housekeeper's report, he stood up with a surprised look on his face and went to meet the Dali Temple runners who came to his door.
"I wonder what can I do for you?"
Tian Ce couldn't figure out when he had become friends with Zhou Qiheng, the Minister of the Dali Temple.
"Someone has sued you, my Lord. Please ask Minister Tian to go with us to the Dali Temple."
The two Dali Temple officials held their swords in their hands and looked polite and courteous, not causing anyone to feel offended at all.
Tian Ce was in a subtle mood. He didn't say much and nodded in agreement.
Zhou Qiheng's official position is one level lower than his, but he is more highly valued by His Majesty than he is. No matter what, he cannot be offended.
After Tian Ce was taken away by officials from the Dali Temple, Mrs. Song was so shocked when she heard the news that she was speechless.
"Did your father get into trouble? Why are people from the Dali Temple looking for him?"
Tian Linwen leaned on the pillow and drank the medicine with the help of the servant.
After hearing what his mother said, he coughed several times in succession and could no longer drink the half of the medicine left in the bowl.
Why would the people from the Dali Temple come after his father, a third-rank official in the imperial court?
Could it be that while he was recovering from his injuries, something big happened outside that he didn't know about?
"Mom, what could possibly happen to my dad? It's just my bad luck. I encountered such a bad thing that it caused you and dad to worry and work so hard."
Handing the bowl of medicine in his hand to the servant, Tian Linwen said guiltily.
Song's heart trembled. She had not raised this son in vain. He was very considerate, filial and ambitious.
When his health improves, she will help her son choose a noble lady from a wealthy family and marry her with great ceremony.
But for some reason, she felt uneasy and inexplicably anxious.
"Once we catch that damned assassin, we will not let him off lightly. Son, you should take good care of your injuries first. I will go and take care of the affairs of the mansion."
Mrs. Song comforted her injured son who had survived and left in a hurry.
When she returned to her yard, she felt restless.
At this time, rumors were spreading throughout the capital that the eldest son of Tian Fu, the Minister of Rites, was not Tian's biological son.
In the residence of the great general who guards the country.
A hurried figure entered the mansion from the back door.
When he saw the housekeeper, he quickly reported, "Dad, the Madam's arrangement has been completed, and we just need to wait for it to ferment."
The housekeeper sent his son, who was dressed as a nobleman, to rest, and he rushed to Wu's courtyard to report the matter.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu was satisfied and rewarded the housekeeper's son with 100 taels of silver.
The butler happily left with the silver.
Mrs. Wu sat on the chair, put down the account book in her hand, and looked outside the door.
If the Tian family dared to plot against her daughter's reputation, she would retaliate in their own way.
It is impolite not to reciprocate, and she also wants the Tian family to experience the feeling of being pointed at and scolded.
The rest of the matter will be left to my husband Tao Zhihong.
Fengwei Curie.
Tao Yuwei, who had just gotten up, heard the croaking of crows in the yard.
[Are you telling the truth? The Tian family's secrets were exposed by someone in the know.]
[This person is exactly the hero in my mind. Before I could make a move, the news that Tian Linwen was a fake young master spread.]
Tao Yuwei's confused little face instantly became alert and she stopped dozing off.
[What? You said that Minister Tian and Minister of Rites Gao Huaizhen were reported to the Dali Temple?]
[And the person who reported them was actually the skinny Yunzhou horse that Minister Tian had sent to Gao Huaizhen.]
Tao Yuwei immediately became excited and wanted to go and see the excitement for herself.
At the critical moment, it would also help to liven up the atmosphere and vent the bad luck that the Tian family's group of masters and servants had blocked the door of the mansion that day.
Tao Yuwei honestly asked Yunxiao to help her comb her hair and dress up. She didn't even have time to eat breakfast. She asked Baishuang to pack the buns and meat porridge into the food box and put it into the carriage.
The crow that informed her jumped onto her shoulder and insisted on going with her.
Tao Yuwei didn't care. She had nothing to be afraid of when it came to crows.
Her two maids saw Crow standing on her shoulders and looked at each other worriedly.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, crows represented disaster and bad luck.
Isn't it inappropriate for my young lady to bring a crow out?
Tao Yuwei jumped onto the carriage first, followed closely by two maids.
The three of them, master and servant, quickly got on the carriage and rushed to the Dali Temple.
While riding in the carriage, Tao Yuwei ate two vegetarian buns and half a bowl of meat porridge. She kindly gave the remaining half to Crow.
When her carriage arrived outside the Dali Temple, she lifted the curtain and saw a dense crowd of people gathered outside the temple, all wanting to witness the heroic act of a citizen suing an official.
A weak woman filed a complaint against two high-ranking officials of the imperial court at the same time, which had never happened before in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After this news spread, it immediately caused a huge sensation in the capital.
People came from all over the capital to witness this historic moment with their own eyes.
Zhou Qiheng, the Minister of the Dali Temple, was a young and promising honest official. His name was well-known. Victims of unjust cases from all over the Great Zhou Dynasty traveled thousands of miles to the capital to file complaints. Many of the facts were ascertained through his investigation. This also led to a gradual decrease in the number of wrongful cases in various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty every year, which greatly deterred the inaction of local officials.
"Miss, the road ahead is blocked. How about you get off here first and I'll go find a place to park."
The coachman of the General's Mansion looked at the blocked road and reported to Tao Yuwei and her servant in the carriage.
"Okay, here it is!"
Tao Yuwei lifted the curtain and was the first to jump out of the carriage.
She couldn't wait to meet the rumored Zhou Qingtian.
However, looking at the Dali Temple yamen that was blocked by the crowd, Tao Yuwei scratched her head in distress.
"Mighty!" When she heard the shouts of the Dali Temple runners, she knew that the trial had begun.
She stood on tiptoe, but still couldn't see what was going on inside.
In a hurry, she suddenly came up with a good idea.
