In front of Kaifeng Prefecture, Han Chengke, wearing mourning clothes, sat day and night while petitioning for several days.

Originally, Kaifeng Prefecture received the complaint, but the yamen runner told Han Chengke that the Futai Lord went to Chenliu County for inspection and asked him to go home and wait.

However, after a few days, there was still no news. The response from the government office was that the Futai Lord had not returned. The stubborn Han Chengke could only sit in front of the Kaifeng government office wearing mourning clothes.

Over the past few days, the people spread ten to ten, and the ten to hundreds, and soon spread throughout Kaifeng Prefecture. It was a stone of fire that caused a thousand waves, and the streets and alleys were resentful for Han Chengke.

In the courtyard of a large mansion in Kaifeng Prefecture.

The middle-aged man in brocade clothes sat on a rattan chair, looked at the flowers and plants in the yard and picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and asked slowly: "What's wrong? What's going on? Is that lunatic still outside?"

The one who served the side was Liu Yikou, a minor official who had picked up Han Chengke's letter. He bowed and whispered: "Report to Master Tai, the old man surnamed Han is very stubborn and has been sitting outside the government office. Because of the people coming and going, it is difficult for us to drive him away..."

Wei Shengjin, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, took a tea case and said dissatisfied: "I don't know how Lai Yuejing, the magistrate, did this kind of thing. It's useless waste!"

Although he said this, he was thinking about the box of snowflakes and silver in the house. Lai Yuejing's magistrate did not do a good job, but he was still very generous in his actions. Let's just fight each other.

The little official said, "Sir, the impact of this matter is very bad. Lord Futai will come back from Luoyang in a few days. We must deal with the matter before..."

When Wei Shengjin heard the Lord Futai, he felt a little moved. Henan Governor Liu Tongsheng was not a good man, so he must not let him know about this!

He whispered to the little official: "See a way to drive him away!"

Liu Yikou immediately bowed and said, "Sir, please rest assured. My subordinates must send someone to watch him and prevent him from appearing near the government office!"

On that day, a group of ruffians had no choice but to kick Han Juren away in public, which aroused the anger of the people.

Under the bright world, Qingpi was scattered in front of the government office to commit crimes. Is there any other kingly law?

After all, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture was not a fool. In order to give the masses an explanation, he immediately ordered the arrest of two Qingpi and was locked up in prison to take care of food and drink.

A big case is often caused by small things, which leads to bigger things.

Han Juren, who was beaten with a bruised nose and swollen eyes, became even more angry and continued to sue, and sued the provincial criminal prosecutor's office.

The provincial senior inspector rarely met Han Juren and gently advised: "According to the "Da Ming Law", all those who become citizens must follow their own business and go to and from neighbors to know each other. Even if they leave the city, they must lead them. If they do not lead them, they will be rebels. If they are found to be refugees, they will be imprisoned at the least, and if they are sent to the army, they will be sent to serve as soldiers."

"The city soldiers act according to the law and are not guilty. If you continue to sue, it will be in vain. Let's stop."

As soon as Han Chengke got angry, he ignored all the tantrums and said excitedly: "Human life is at stake. Can you think about it by just one sentence of law? The Ming Dynasty governs the world with filial piety. In order to save my mother, I went out of the city to seek medical treatment, but I taught the soldiers in Xiangfu County to stop him and killed a life in vain. If this principle cannot be obtained, it will be gone unless the principle of nature is gone!"

The Censor did not respond. The case seemed very simple, but it involved a lot, first of all, the law and filial piety.

Furthermore, it involves the new policy. The Censor read the new policy listed in the imperial court newspaper last year. One of them was to abolish the road guides in various places and allow the people to move freely.

However, at this time, this decree was not implemented...

The Henan Censor fooled Han Juren and immediately went to Chengxuan Zhengzheng to inform the matter.

The Henan governor was named Song Quan, and his nephew was named Song Shangtian, who was the prominent young master of Song who made a big fuss on Meixianglou by the Qinhuai River in Nanjing.

The governor was in charge of the finance and civil affairs of a province, and heired the government and laws of the court to all prefectures, departments, prefectures, and counties to urge them to implement them.

This path involves a lot of benefits. People who come and go need to apply for certificates. This is also a considerable income. There is a one-stop chain of interests from the bottom up.

Faced with a small down-and-out juren, the governor Song Quan obviously did not take that kind of small role seriously and insisted on delaying the issuance of the new policy of abolishing the road.

Han Chengke was so angry that he knew very well that the officials must be protecting each other. No matter how hard he tried, he would be afraid that the complaint would be fruitless. Then there was only one way to go...

Go to Beijing to file a lawsuit!

However, complaining to the emperor is not an easy task, just a road guide is a big problem.

In this situation, which yamen can lead the way for you? If you go to Beijing privately, you may not even be able to enter the city gate like before!

It seemed like a matter of being decided in the dark when Han Chengke was at a loss, an old friend visited him to solve the problem.

This old friend mentioned the criminal code "The Great Edict" written by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang himself. The Ming Taizu stipulated that each household has one copy of the "The Great Edict" and will be recited by his descendants. If the family has the Great Edict, the crime of whipping, sticking, or being absent, or being absent, is reduced by one level; if there is no "The Great Edict", the additional level; if the person refuses to accept it, he will move to the outside world and will never be ordered to return.

The most important thing is that the "Great Edict" clearly states that if the people want to sue the officials, they can be arrested and sent to the emperor directly. If there is no way to quote the great edict, the great edict can be quoted as a way to quote.

Local officials dare to stop the people from exposing the matter, arrest and harm the people, and all nine clans will be destroyed!

Han Chengke slapped his head, how could he forget this method?

This is a test question that may be given in the New Deal Imperial Examination. I have studied it myself, and I may have been furious for a while and I was confused.

However, not long after the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the "Great Edict" gradually disappeared from the people. The "Great Edict" that once had a copy of each household had been destroyed.

Fortunately, since this old friend of Han Juren mentioned the "Great Edict", he naturally brought a copy.

Han Chengke was crying and was very grateful for his old friend's help.

Then he visited relatives and friends, crowdfunded five taels of silver, and resolutely embarked on the difficult road of going to Beijing to file a lawsuit.

Kaifeng City, Song Mansion.

Today is a good day for the Henan governor Song Quan. At the age of fifty, he married another sixteen-year-old concubine.

There were traffic in front of the Song Mansion, and the whole house was covered with red and colorful colors. There were endless people coming to congratulate him, either officials or gentry or wealthy businessmen.

Song Quan was standing in the middle of the yard and greeting friends who came to congratulate each other. From time to time, he swept the gifts piled up in the mountains with his eyes, and he felt so beautiful.

Kaifeng magistrate Wei Shengjin stood beside Song Quan and greeted the guests as his disciple.

At this time, the minor official who was monitoring Han Juren came hurriedly and pulled the prefect to a secluded corner.

"Sir, the juren named Han has left the city."

Wei Shengjin raised his eyebrows and pondered for a moment: "Can he carry a bag?"

"It's true that I'm carrying a burden, sir."

Wei Shengjin breathed out, closed his eyes and stroked his beard: "Where is there no way to lead him?"

After a while, the minor official Liu Yi said, "Master Futai, do you think he will go to Beijing to file a lawsuit?"

Wei Shengjin suddenly felt shocked. If this bastard really came to Beijing to sue the emperor, Henan Province would be in an earthquake from top to bottom, and no one could escape the blame!

"Sir, do you want your subordinates to arrange someone..." Liu Yigu said as she gestured twice on her neck with her hand.

"We cannot cause trouble in this matter. You go, let me arrange it freely."

After saying that, the prefect Wei Shengjin hesitated for a moment, walked towards the governor Song Quan, and whispered to him.

After hearing this, Song Quan's originally joyful smile gradually disappeared. He said in a deep voice to the butler beside him: "Call Shangtian!"
