After Zhangsun Shunde returned to his residence, he was flustered and exasperated. Today, at the Supreme Court, he had lost all his face.
He couldn't swallow this anger and wanted revenge.
Therefore, after applying the medicine, he angrily went to ask his nephew Zhangsun Wuji for help.
After Zhangsun Wuji heard this, not only did he not have the intention to help Zhangsun Shunde, he even blamed him.
"Uncle, you're old and muddled. Du Kefa had become the Minister of the Supreme Court and was no longer the same as before. He had dealt with Dang Renhong and recommended Gao Shilian. At this moment, the Minister of the Supreme Court's momentum was flourishing. Why did you still bump into the blade and find trouble for yourself?”
"Wuji, Du Kefa is a junior and you are an important official of His Majesty. Why should you be afraid of him?”
"I'm not afraid of him, but I don't want to provoke him. Uncle, I advise you to endure it and not cause trouble for him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to take revenge, and he would be in trouble.”
Of course, Zhangsun Shunde didn't want to tolerate it and kept asking Zhangsun Wuji to help him.
"I can't help you with this. I still have official business to attend to. Uncle, please help yourself.”
In Zhangsun Wuji's mansion, Zhangsun Wuji saw that he could not persuade Zhangsun Shunde, so he gave the order to leave.
Zhangsun Shunde was filled with anger. He thought about it and decided to enter the palace to find his niece, Empress Zhangsun.
"Empress, Du Kefa doesn't know etiquette and doesn't respect his elders. He is not a good son-in-law of Changle.”
Empress Zhangsun did not know what had happened in the past two days. She asked curiously,""Uncle, why do you say that?"
Zhangsun Shunde told Empress Zhangsun about Du Kefa's thirty kills outside the Supreme Court. Empress Zhangsun thought about it and said,""The marriage was decided by His Majesty and has already been announced to all the officials.”
"Empress, go and persuade His Majesty to take back his order. There are many young talents in Chang 'an who want to marry Changle.”
"Uncle, His Majesty has been praising Du Kefa recently, saying that he is a loyal pillar of the Tang Empire. Why don't uncle go and persuade His Majesty himself?"
Should he persuade Li Shi Min himself?
What a joke, if he dared to complain to Li Shiming, would he go to his nephew and niece first?
Zhangsun Shunde was speechless for a moment. Empress Zhangsun said,""Uncle will stay in the palace and eat with His Majesty.”
"No need." Zhangsun Shunde bid farewell to the Empress and returned to the residence full of anger.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, a few servants rushed over with sorrowful expressions."Master, the Supreme Court has seized several shops.”
Zhangsun Shunde almost spat out a mouthful of blood as he roared angrily,""The Du family's child is too much."
"Du Kefa is deliberately going against you, Master. We must take revenge for this.”A few servants habitually chimed in.
When Zhangsun Shunde heard the servant talk about revenge, he thought of the anger he had suffered at the hands of Zhangsun Wuji and Empress Zhangsun. An unknown evil fire rose in his heart.
He glared at the servant, raised his arm high, and slapped the servant's face so hard that the servant did not know what had happened.
"Revenge, revenge. Everyone is biased towards Du Kefa, so why would I take revenge?”
Zhangsun Shunde cursed as he used his hands and feet to beat the servants, venting all the anger he had suffered in the past two days on them.
The servant's face turned purple and swollen at a visible speed. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his two big yellow teeth were sent flying. He looked extremely pitiful.
He did not dare to hide and could only cry softly and beg Zhangsun Shunde to let him go.
After a long time, Zhangsun Shunde was tired of beating and had vented his evil aura. He kicked his subordinate heavily before letting him go.
The servants no longer looked human.
"Thank you for sparing my life, Master." The servant bared his teeth and begged for mercy, not daring to show any signs of complaint.
Zhangsun Shunde returned to his residence to rest and deliberately forgot that his shop had been seized by the Supreme Court.
Those shops were all sent by Duan Renfu to curry favor with him, so he could only eat the yellow lotus in silence.
"None of you dare to offend Du Kefa! All of you are afraid of the Du family's power! I'm not afraid! I'll report to you in the main hall tomorrow!”
Zhangsun Shunde, who had run into obstacles everywhere, was unwilling to give up. Even if he did not have the support of anyone around him, he still wanted to report Du Kefa's case. Even if he could not get Du Kefa, he wanted to make the young official of the Supreme Court who presided over the beating of him suffer!
At the end of the night and dawn, merchants and farmers who had woken up early lined up outside the city gate of Chang 'an.
A young hunter strode over from afar. His clothes were dusty, and it was obvious that he had come from afar.
He held a halberd in one hand and carried a hunting bow and a huge buck on his back.
Several merchants saw the stag and went forward to chat warmly, wanting to buy it at a high price.
The hunter shook his head again and again, rejecting the high price offered by the merchants. He only said that this deer was a gift for his benefactor.
The merchants were puzzled. They pointed at his old clothes and continued to raise the price, but the hunters still refused without hesitation.
"This is a fool. He's so poor and still only wants to repay a favor.”
"What a pity for this deer. If I were to give it to any lord, I would definitely be rewarded handsomely.”
The hunter was unmoved by the merchant's discussion. He slowly followed the crowd into Chang 'an.
It was as if this was the first time he had come to Chang 'an. He looked around at the streets, looking like a typical country bumpkin entering the city.
However, he had some understanding of the roads in Chang 'an. He walked through the familiar streets and came to a restaurant in the east of Chang' an.
"Eh? How could this be a restaurant? And it was seized by the government?"
The hunter pulled the people who were passing by and asked,""What about the old clinic here?"
This commoner was a chatterbox, and he kept talking," It used to be a medical center, but the doctor inside offended a corrupt official and was imprisoned. He was even sentenced to death..."
Death penalty? Corrupted officials?
The hunter interrupted the commoners and asked anxiously,""Where is that corrupt official?"
The commoners were a little unhappy that their words were interrupted. They glared at the hunter and replied,""That corrupt official is now in the Supreme Court, sentenced by Lord Du…Eh, where is he? I haven't finished speaking yet. Young people nowadays are really impatient."
When the hunter heard that the corrupt official was in the Supreme Court, he no longer listened to the hunter's nagging. He turned around and walked out of the East City, heading towards the Supreme Court in the west.
He had only heard a few words, but he was sure that the dog official who had sentenced his benefactor to death was in the Supreme Court. The young and impetuous him decided to break into the Supreme Court to save his benefactor.
In the Supreme Court, Du Kefa summoned Jiang He and Jiang Xiu." Duan Renfu has been brought to justice. You can go back without worry."
The medical center that was robbed will still be returned to you. How much is the value of the medicinal herbs inside? Doctor Jiang, estimate the price and report it to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court will compensate you with Duan Renfu's family wealth.”
Jiang He pulled his children and kowtowed gratefully, constantly thanking Du Kefa for his kindness.
"This is my duty." Du Kefa's voice grew louder as he said to the people outside,""The property that Duan Renfu stole will be returned to its owner. The victim can bring the evidence to the Supreme Court for interrogation.”
His voice suddenly turned cold." However, if someone tries to impersonate the victim to cheat money, I will let him know the majesty of the Tang Empire's laws!”
"Good, Du Fu Ma is really the great lord of the heavens.”
"If the officials of the Great Tang were all like Du Qingtian, the lives of the people would be much better.”
"Du Qingtian, don't worry. If anyone dares to falsely claim money, we won't let him off easily.”
As the commoners cheered, Jiang Xiu whispered a few words to his father. He looked at Du Kefa with a determined expression and said softly,"Thank you for saving my father, sir. I am willing to be your maid and slave.”
Du Kefa smiled." Miss Jiang, you're being too serious. As I said just now, it's my duty to prove your father's innocence."”
"A man cannot stand without his word," Jiang Xiu said seriously."I swore before that I would be a maid for you.”
Du Kefa examined Jiang Xiu, her pretty face filled with stubbornness.
At this moment, a bailiff shouted,""Milord, a hunter is trying to barge into the Judicial Office by force. He has been stopped outside the Judicial Office by the bailiffs.”
Du Kefa's expression turned uglier and uglier."Someone barged into the Supreme Court?"
The constable nodded.
"How many people came?" Du Kefa asked subconsciously.
"Only one."
Alone?
"What's his name?"
Du Kefa's interest was piqued.
