After December, autumn ended early, and the weather became colder day by day. The northwest wind on the Bian River was strong. People put on winter clothes early. The streets of the capital became bloated. Even the ox carts that could be seen everywhere were hung with thick curtains to block the cold wind for passengers in the car.

After the emergence of the new prime minister, the situation in the court seemed to calm down suddenly, and there were no major cases in Li Yanqing's hands. They were all small cases that were tried separately by the Censorate, and the case could be closed in three to five days.

That afternoon, Li Yanqing was handling official duties in the official room. Suddenly, the sound of drum beats came from outside. Li Yanqing heard drum beats almost every day, and he had already become accustomed to it. Most of them were drum beats from Kaifeng Mansion next door to complain. However, today the drum sound seemed a little close, not like the sound of coming from Kaifeng Mansion, but like the drum sound of the voice of the Censorate.

At this time, the tea boy Ying Geer ran in like a gust of wind, "Look out, it's so lively!"

Everyone stood up one after another. At this time, Li Yanqing also heard a burst of shouts from outside. He was surprised and got up and went to the window. Mo Jun and others also walked in and looked outside.

Li Yanqing's official room is on the third floor, and you can see the situation at the gate of the Censorate. The situation outside really scared everyone. I saw that the street outside was covered with heads. I don't know how many people came. There were more than a thousand tai students on the steps. They held a huge "unfaith" written in blood and shouted slogans. Several tai students were struggling to beat the drums of the mouth, with great momentum.

This was the second time that Li Yanqing experienced the power of Tai students. The last time was when Wang Fu abolished Piyong and disbanded thousands of Taixue preparatory students and returned home. As a result, the Taixue marched and protested against the court's severing the path of studying and life. Not only the Taixue in Beijing, but also the Taixue students from Jingzhao, Luoyang, Daming, and Yingtian took to the streets to protest, forcing the court to cancel the reform of Wang Fu's reduction of the quota of Taixue, restored Piyong, and restored the monthly supply of Taixue students.

I wonder what the reason is today? At this time, the new chief clerk Liu Xin walked into the room and said, "Is Censor Li here?"

After Liang Shicheng regained control of the Censorate, he underwent a major change, replacing four censors and nine censors of the Supervisors, and all the chief clerks of the Third Court were replaced. Liu Xin took over the position of former chief clerk Zhang Xun.

Li Yanqing was awarded the award for his meritorious trial of Lin Lingsu's assassination. His application to appoint Mo Jun as the principal was approved. Mo Jun was appointed as the chief of the ninth rank. When he was nearly fifty years old, he finally stepped into the officialdom.

"What's wrong with Zhubu Liu?"

"Deng Zhongcheng asked Censor Li to go down and be at the gate on the first floor."

Li Yanqing nodded, then left the official room and walked quickly to the first floor. He saw that the gate of the first floor was full of officials from the Censorate. The leader was Deng Yong, the new Censor General. Deng Yong was a painter who was obsessed with painting, knew nothing about government affairs, and was timid. He almost listened to whatever Liang Shicheng said, and did whatever he said, and never interfered in the affairs of the six censors including Li Yanqing. At most, he would ask about the affairs of the censors in the palace. That was relatively simple.

Today, more than a thousand taiwan students and tens of thousands of people watching the fun suddenly came outside, which really scared Deng Yong. He didn't know what to do? So he summoned several censors to discuss.

"Deng Zhongcheng doesn't have to worry. This should be the student who came to sue for justice or impeach someone. I think it's okay to listen!"

The person who spoke was Du Zhen, the Censor of the Attorney, who was about forty years old. He was the oldest in the censor of Taichung. He ranked first among the six Attorneys, and Li Yanqing, who was responsible for the promotion of officials, was ranked fourth.

Deng Yongzhan looked outside tremblingly. Seeing that the students outside were so excited, he said a little timidly: "I'm afraid that as soon as the door opens, they will rush in."

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "If Zhongcheng is worried about this, then what does Zhongcheng think if the humble official goes out to negotiate and ask them to send a few representatives in?"

Deng Yong nodded repeatedly, "This method is good, then it's a blessing for Censor Li!"

Li Yanqing opened the gate of the Censorate and took Zhang Bao and Zhang Ying out. The platform of the Censorate was filled with hundreds of students. They were very excited. Seeing that someone finally came out, they stepped forward and shouted: "We want to impeach the evil officials and ask the Censorate to preside over justice!"

Li Yanqing pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed the sword at everyone and said coldly: "I am Li Yanqing, who dares to take another step forward, I will let him splatter blood on the spot!"

Everyone was stunned and suddenly became quiet. What Li Yanqing wanted was this fleeting quiet opportunity. He shouted sternly: "You are Fang La's accomplices, are you going to rebel in the capital?"

Li Yanqing was a civil official who broke out from the battlefield. He naturally had a murderous courage. He held the long sword in his hand and forced him to a group of tyrant students step by step.

He had a high reputation in the Imperial College. When hundreds of Imperial students heard that he was the famous Li Yanqing, they couldn't help but retreat. One of the leading Imperial students shouted: "We are not rebelling, but we are here to file a complaint."

"The Censorate has the rules of the Censorate. It is a serious crime for you to break into the Censorate. If you want to sue, please return to the end of the stop column before speaking!"

The stop rail is located below the steps and is parallel to the Wendeng Drum. Generally, after hitting the Wendeng Drum, you should stand outside the stop rail and wait, and naturally there will be officials coming out to receive the letter of complaint.

At this time, the head-in-law student turned around and shouted: "Cithie Li is right. We should not be caught by others, go back first!"

More than a thousand Tai students followed his command and walked down the steps, retreated outside the stop rail. The Tai students shouted: "Civil Li, there should be no problem now!"

Li Yanqing nodded, "You can discuss and send a few representatives to the Censorate, and Deng Zhongcheng will meet you in person."

Everyone discussed and walked out three people, "We are willing to be the representative!"

Li Yanqing asked the student of the leader again, "What's your name?"

"Student Chen Dong!"

Li Yanqing looked at him in surprise. It turned out that he was Chen Dong, a student leader in the late Northern Song Dynasty. Li Yanqing nodded, "You three come with me, other students are too quiet and you must not cause trouble!"

He then brought three representatives of the Imperial College to the Censorate. Deng Yong was quite happy to see Li Yanqing calming the students' trouble, and hurriedly ordered the room to be arranged.

Soon, Deng Yong, six censors and three representatives of the Taishi student walked into the room.

"Please sit down!" Deng Yong politely asked the three of them to sit down.

The three Tai students introduced themselves first, and they were named Chen Dong, Lei Guan and Zhang Bing, among which Chen Dong was the leader of Tai students.

Deng Yong nodded, "Please tell me, three! Why do you want to gather together to beat the drum?"

"We are seeking justice for the Zhang Pu case. We hope that the court can retrieve the case and give Zhang Pu a clean innocence!"

Li Yanqing was a little disappointed. He thought that the Tai students were opposing the alliance with the Jin Dynasty? It turned out to be the case of Zhang Puna.

The case of Zhang Pu is relatively simple. The cause is that at the beginning of the year, 68 palace maids were released in the palace, one of which was named Liu Ping, who was released back to his hometown Jiangxia County. Unexpectedly, two months ago, her brother ran to Beijing to file a lawsuit. Her sister was occupied by the imperial student Zhang Pu and committed suicide by jumping into the river. Since Liu Ping was the maid of Empress Zheng, and the survival of the palace maids was involved, the court ordered the criminal prosecutor of Jinghu North Road to investigate the case.

Just last month, the Jinghu North Road Criminal Department determined that the Tai student Zhang Pu had occupied the palace maid and went to Beijing to arrest him. However, unexpectedly, Zhang Pu wrote a huge word for injustice in blood on the wall and hanged himself in prison. Unexpectedly, it caused the Tai student to march and demonstrate.

The censor Sun Wei next to him said coldly: "Why must Zhang Pu be innocent? What if he really occupied the palace maid?"

“Bad talk!”

Lei Guan slapped the table and said angrily: "Zhang Pu and Liu Ping have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. They have been in love with each other. The Liu family is in a state of incest and sent Liu Ping to the palace for wealth and honor. Zhang Pu has not been married to her forever. Seeing that the sky is pitiful, they reunited again. However, the Liu family forced to send Liu Ping to the Ezhou Tongshou as a concubine. On the way, Liu Ping jumped into the river to commit suicide. Zhang Pu was distraught, but was framed by the Liu family. The officials protected each other and found him guilty. What else could he do except fight for death?"

Chen Dong sat down and said to Deng Yong: "We are excited and forgive us for being rude, but I don't know how to let the Censorate retrieve the case?"

Deng Yong didn't understand the procedures very well, so he looked at Li Yanqing. Li Yanqing said slowly: "First of all, I want to tell you that the case is under trial. If you think it's slow, you can go to Kaifeng Prefecture to urge the promotion, but you came to the Censorate to file a complaint. You have gone to the wrong place!"

"We did not go to the wrong place. We have already asked Kaifeng Prefecture. Kaifeng Prefecture believes that Zhang Pu committed suicide. Jinghu North Road Criminal Department has no responsibility and has closed the case. We are not convinced, so we asked the Censorate to try the case."

Li Yanqing nodded, "If you are dissatisfied with the trial judgment of Kaifeng Prefecture, you can continue to file a lawsuit with the Ministry of Justice or the Censorate. Since you hit Wen Denggu and the case involves the death of Tai Chi, it is a relatively important case. The Censorate will generally accept this case, but you still need to do a few things. First, this case does not constitute a lawsuit for you, but should be an apology, so you have to write a letter of justice, not a paper of complaints; second, you need to have two officials above the fifth rank to guarantee it; third, you cannot file a lawsuit in an illegal form, such as your gathering and parade. In this case, we will definitely not accept this case."

Chen Dong and the other two looked at each other, and Chen Dong said: "We can disperse and then write a letter of justice again, but we need the guarantee of officials above the fifth rank. How can we find it?"

Li Yanqing said again: "If you really can't find the official guarantee, you can go to the Imperial City Wendeng Court to beat the drum and seek justice. If the case is willing to accept it, they will transfer the case to the Censorate or other provincial and ministerial departments. Because the case is serious and has been paid attention to by the queen. If you are lucky, the superiors may ask the three departments to conduct a trial."

Chen Dong was overjoyed, "Then let's go to Wendengyuan now!"

Deng Yong said anxiously: "It is enough for you three to go to Wendengyuan. The other students of the Taishou will be disbanded immediately and no more people are allowed to gather to demonstrate!"

"The student understands. Thank you for your reminder, thank you Censor Li for your advice, we have said goodbye!"

Chen Dong was still trustworthy, so he immediately went back to let the Tai students disband and returned to school. The more than 10,000 people who watched the fun saw that it was meaningless and they also dispersed.

At this time, Deng Yong asked Li Yanqing in a low voice, "Does Censor Li think this case will be retried?"

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and said, "When this matter involves Empress Zheng, it depends on Empress Zheng's attitude."
