After the show ended, the crowd dispersed.
Only the angry Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were left.
"Father, let's go back too."
"It's really strange. I've never seen the way the county magistrate judged a case.”
"However, these commoners didn't think anything was wrong.”
The princes were talking.
However, when they turned around and saw Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, they were shocked.
"This damned Meng Yin, zhen really wants to kill him now!”
"I'm so angry!"
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his chest in anger.
Now that they were on the streets, it was not good to say too much.
He could only follow the two princes back to the inn.
...
After returning, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger had not subsided.
"I didn't expect such an unjust case to happen before my eyes!”
"Meng Yin deserves to be killed!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a vicious look.
When he killed the officials, he did it in batches and showed no mercy.
Seeing this.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiong looked at each other.
They all wanted to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Imperial Father, your son looked at the surrounding commoners at that time and did not feel that there was anything wrong with Meng Yin's verdict.”
Zhu Biao analyzed calmly.
"If it was really an unjust case, I'm afraid those commoners wouldn't be smiling.”
"Big Brother is right!”
"Imperial Father, the commoners all think that Meng Yin is fine. Could there be some misunderstanding?”
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed.
A trace of doubt appeared on his angry old face.
That's right.
At that time, she was so angry when she heard it.
But why were the commoners still laughing and laughing? They did not feel angry at all?
Could there really be something hidden behind this?
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment.
"Call the waiter over."
"We have to ask about this matter properly.”
......
After a while.
The waiter downstairs came up.
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang did not ask the shopkeeper was that he was afraid that he had colluded with Meng Yin. Even if he asked, he would not tell the truth.
The waiter was a nobody.
Zhu Yuanzhang squinted at the waiter and asked,""Do you know about the case that the Pei County Magistrate handled today?”
"Yes, sir." The waiter answered honestly.”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked again,"Then do you think the magistrate is wrong to judge the case like this?"”
Hearing this,
The waiter was a little puzzled and said,"Of course not."
"Why? The people in the gambling den killed someone, but they were only arrested and locked up for three months. Wasn't this an unjust case?”
The waiter understood what he meant.
Hence, he explained with a smile.
"Sir, you might not know, but the dead person is called Zhao Da. He is also a famous rotten person here.”
"Usually, besides gambling, Zhao Da has never done anything serious.”
"Their family used to live quite well.”
"But Zhao Da's gambling addiction became more and more serious. He didn't have enough money, so he kidnapped his own sister and sold her to a brothel. Fortunately, a kind-hearted person saved him later and even beat Zhao Da up. His sister married that person and never returned to the Zhao family.”
"After that, Zhao Da still liked to gamble, and Mother Zhao couldn't persuade him. Zhao Da sold his house and lived in a thatched cottage with his mother. It would leak when it rained. Zhao Da could only go home a few times a month, which caused his mother to be miserable.”
"This time, Zhao Da was beaten to death, so Mother Zhao's life will be much easier in the future." The waiter gloated.”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think that there was such a reason.
But he was still curious.
"Won't a mother be sad when her son dies?”
Hearing his words.
The waiter smiled again.
"With such a son, it's fine if he's gone.”
"Fortunately, it's in Pei County. A human life is worth a hundred taels.”
"The compensation that Mrs. Jones received is still 200 taels. Will she still have to worry about it for the rest of her life?”
"She's so happy!"
"If this were anywhere else, there would be nothing!”
After these words.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.
At the same time, he felt extremely angry.
"A human life is only worth a hundred taels of silver!"
"Is Mrs. Jones really thinking like you said?”
The waiter nodded affirmatively.
"Of course."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.
He didn't want to believe it.
Because he was a person who valued family ties the most.
"Bring us to Mrs. Zhao's house. I want to see the truth with my own eyes!"”
The waiter smiled and refused.
"Sir, I still have to stay in the inn to do things.”
Zhu Yuanzhang took out a tael of silver.
"Can we go now?"
Who knew.
The waiter did not care about his money at all.
"Guest, this tael of silver is considered a lot if it was seen elsewhere.”
"In our inn, I only need five days to earn it.”
The waiter gestured with five fingers.
"If I leave the inn for this tael of silver and the shopkeeper finds out, he will think that I am a shallow person.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked again.
Are all the waiters here earning so much money?
Six taels a month?
In other places, one tael of silver was enough to cover the expenses of an ordinary person's family for a month.
Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth.
He took out ten taels of silver.
"Is this enough?"
This was almost two months 'salary for the waiter, so he would not reject it again.
Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would really be angry.
"Enough, enough."
"Guest, please follow me. I'll take you there now!”
......
Very quickly.
The waiter brought Zhu Yuanzhang to Mother Zhao's house.
The road under their feet was full of potholes. The houses nearby were all thatched huts, and they were even more dilapidated than the waiter described. They were simply uninhabitable.
He had just approached.
Then, they heard a series of happy voices coming from the other side.
"Congratulations! Mrs. Jones, you're going to be blessed for the rest of your life.”
"That's right. The government made the gambling den compensate you with two hundred taels of silver. This is not a small sum.”
"Lord Meng is really a good person!"
"Mrs. Jones, this 200 taels is enough for you to buy a house in a new neighborhood. You won't have to worry for the rest of your life!”
The people around were congratulating Mother Zhao.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw it.
Mother Zhao's face did not look as sad as it should have been after her son's death.
Instead, his face was glowing red and full of smiles.
"Thank you, everyone!"
"This is all thanks to Lord Meng. If it weren't for his judgment, I would have to continue living in this shabby straw hut for the rest of my life!”
"Lord Meng is the reborn parents of our commoners!”
Mother Zhao didn't cry for her son.
On the contrary, she was moved to tears when she talked about Meng Yin.
This once again surprised Zhu Yuanzhang.
Mother Zhao didn't think that it was bad that her son's life was only worth 200 taels.
And he even thanked Meng Yin for doing this?
"Sir, do you believe me now?" The waiter said with a smile.”
Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak.
Now, he himself did not know what to think about this matter.
He could not help but doubt it.
Could it be that there was something wrong with his thinking?
Meng Yin was actually doing the right thing?
