Originally, three generations of the Li family had served as officials in the court, and their grandchildren had even become the top scorers in the imperial examinations, making them extremely famous for a time.
Now, because of this old man, the only one left in the court is Li Tang, who has just entered the officialdom and is struggling to support the Hanlin Academy.
Fortunately, the current emperor took their old friendship into consideration and gave the top scholar a lot of support and guidance.
After the court session, His Majesty the Emperor nodded repeatedly when he saw the leaflet presented to him.
What is said above is correct. I am such a sentimental and righteous person.
Even the leaflet writers thought so. What do you call this? This is what the people want!
The Jingzhao Yin went to court today to investigate the case of the stolen black horse.
As Su and Han expected, Marquis Wu'an really brought the most famous lawyer in the capital to help.
The Jingzhao Yin slammed the gavel, and only then did he remember that Ning Yuanchen, as the head of the Ministry of War, was also a sixth-rank official.
There is definitely no need to kneel. Just think that what he just did was for the others to hear.
But no one expected that just after the gavel fell, Ning Yuanchen actually fell to his knees with a thud.
This move surprised the Jingzhao Yin, who quickly said that there was no need for such a grand ceremony.
It’s a pity that no one paid any attention to him and the situation was a bit awkward for a while.
Ning Yuanchen, who was kneeling on the ground, wanted to speak, but he was afraid that he would cry out in pain as soon as he opened his mouth.
Which bastard did this? It hurts so much!
Marquis Wu'an was confused, but seeing his son's pale face, he knew he must have suffered a serious fall.
No matter what, Ning Yuanchen must be helped up first.
Han Zeyu was holding a telescope, which was a monocular telescope given to him by Lin Jing. It came in handy now.
Looking at Wu'an Hou's nervous expression and the big hand on Ning Yuanchen's shoulder, Han Zeyu always felt a little uncomfortable.
Just at this moment, Han Zeyu's "gayda" was launched.
After some scanning and analysis, we decided to use this as the title for the final version of the advertisement.
No matter whether it is true or not, we will know whether it works or not after giving it a try.
Han Zeyu's plan is to send out advertisements for three consecutive days.
On the first day, the much-discussed Pang family was used as a lead, along with Lord Li who was in mourning.
The next day, we will dig into Pang Shaoqing’s hypocritical father and the whole story of Ning Yuanchen’s horse theft.
Of course, there are also some interesting gossips mixed in, and one or two enemies are thrown in.
For example, if Zhu Shidu took a fifth concubine, you could comment on it.
Su Shien suggested that they flatter the emperor in a subtle way, and once the old man was in a good mood, he would definitely let the flyer issue go.
It must be said that this conspiracy was used just right and won the emperor's favor.
The leaflets were distributed and soon sparked heated discussion.
Pang Shaoqing is at home fulfilling his filial duties, while Lord Li is at home in mourning.
The only thing left for them to watch was the incident of the eldest son of the Marquis of Wu'an stealing a horse.
Everyone was bored and wanted to go to the Jingzhao government office to watch the fun.
It’s a pity that this case was not tried in public, and they only saw the carriage of the Marquis of Wu’an’s Mansion at the gate of the yamen.
The weather was cold, so the few people who came to join in the fun went to a teahouse not far away. The view there was good, and they could see what was happening outside the yamen by just slightly opening the window.
"Have you heard? Mr. Erqi has published a new book."
"I know. It's said that it has reached the engraving stage."
"I know the owner of Yujia Bookstore. He said it will be available in the middle of next month. We should get in early and line up then."
"Okay, wear an extra cotton robe and be well prepared. You'll definitely be able to grab the new book first. Let's take a sneak peek."
"Let's not talk about it for now. Marquis Wu'an and his son got on the carriage."
"You're so wealthy and powerful, and you have connections everywhere. Isn't it easy to rescue him?"
"Don't say that. If it was his eldest son who got into trouble today, do you think he would still be so concerned and come here personally to rescue him?"
Several people shook their heads, thinking that Marquis Wu'an was also a unique eccentric.
He ignored his talented legitimate son and protected his arrogant illegitimate son every day.
In fact, the reason why they were particularly concerned about this matter was because they knew Ning Yuanzhao and wanted to stand up for that person.
Let’s talk about the Jingzhao Yin who was giving him a headache. As soon as Wu’an Hou showed up yesterday, he knew that the case would come to nothing.
This incident was caused by a young eunuch in the Imperial Stables.
He wanted to curry favor with Ning Yuanchen, so he made room in other officials' carriages for Ning Yuanchen's horse.
Afterwards, the three parties had an argument due to a dispute over position, but no fight broke out.
Ning Yuanchen was well aware of the principle of keeping things peaceful, so his attitude towards this matter was to take the initiative to give in.
Han Zeyu scoffed at this statement. He didn't take action because he was proud of his status, and he backed down because Ning Yuanchen was stunned by the scolding.
He had lived for more than twenty years and no one had ever scolded him like that. For a moment he found it hard to accept it.
Besides, in this case, Ning Yuanchen did not instruct his men to steal horses to vent his personal anger.
Instead, the servants around him acted on their own and wanted to share their master's worries, so they contacted the young eunuch from the Imperial Stables behind his back.
Besides, yesterday's scene was not about catching the criminal red-handed. Instead, Ning Yuanchen learned that the servants around him had acted on their own and done something stupid while he was out recuperating from his injuries, so he immediately went to the stable to stop their excessive behavior.
Listen to what you say, is this even human language? When Roaring Sky Dog comes, no matter how high or low, he will bark at you.
It may not be a human, but Ning Yuanchen is a real dog.
In fact, Ning Yuanchen couldn't come up with such a perfect excuse, and it was all thanks to the lawyer.
As for the other accomplices, they insisted that they were deceived and thought that this was a new horse bought by Lord Ning and was sent to the manor to learn the rules.
Several people cleared themselves of all charges, leaving only Ning Yuanchen's servant and the eunuch from the Imperial Stables.
The former voluntarily took on the responsibility in exchange for his family's safety and prosperity.
The young eunuch, who was neither loved by his father nor his mother, was completely confused. After all this trouble, he had gained nothing and ended up in jail.
What should I do now? Who can come and save him? He is really innocent.
"Your Excellency, I admit that I stole the black horse, but I really didn't steal the chestnut horse behind it!"
Jingzhao Yin nodded and said, "Just admit it. That black horse is worth over three thousand taels, and the chestnut horse is worth twenty-five taels. Even if the latter doesn't admit it, the former is enough to sentence you."
The little eunuch really cried this time...
