Chapter 36
"But……"
"No buts, no one of us has to go tonight if we delay any longer."
Song Anning made the final decision.
Even if Mrs. Song doesn't want to, she can't stop her daughter from doing what she should do.
He could only turn his eyes red with worry, tell her to be extremely careful, and then watch her crawl out from the wall.
It was also the first time for Song Anning to do such a thing. To say that she was not afraid would be a lie.
Not to mention anything else, even if Dayuan Dynasty implemented a curfew, if she went out alone so late, if she was caught by an official, regardless of the reason, she would be beaten thirty times.
Thirty big boards are enough to kill a weak woman.
So Song Anning walked very carefully.
Fortunately, she lived two lives. Although she didn't leave the house very much when she was a widow a few years ago, in the next few years, after the Song family fell, the Qin family didn't take care of her much. Her ugly face full of scars would frighten her and no one would look at her, so she was allowed to go out.
At that time, she would go out wearing a curtain and wander around the streets and alleys of Jizhou City.
Song Anning was very familiar with the layout of Jizhou City, and it didn't take long before she walked to the street where the Embroidery Department was located.
Looking at the lanterns hanging outside the embroidery department's office, she felt a sense of hope in her heart, and was about to go there, but at this moment, she heard the voice of an official from behind.
"who?"
"Be brave! Who dares to travel without authorization during the curfew?"
Song Anning was startled.
Looking back, she saw that it was someone from the yamen. In addition to being afraid of being beaten, she was also afraid that they would recognize her identity and arrest her and report her to Jiang Rongsheng, which would then expose her plan.
So, without daring to reply, Sayazi ran to the Yamen of the Xiuyi Department.
"You still dare to run? Stop!"
"Stop! Quick! Get her!"
The official came after him.
Song Anning didn't dare to look back and ran as fast as she could. Fortunately, the officials did not ride horses and walked on their legs. There was a long distance between the two sides. She ran hard and it didn't take long. He ran outside the gate of the embroidery department.
"Open the door! The civilian girl has been wronged! Sir, please open the door!"
The officials were furious when they saw that she dared to knock on the door of the Embroidery Department.
"Quick, catch her!"
Seeing that those people were about to come, Song Anning didn't care about anything. She knelt at the door and shouted loudly: "People's daughter Song Anning! If you have any grievances to report, please ask the Lord of the Embroidery Department to open the door and let the people's daughter report your grievances!"
The Department of Embroidered Clothes was originally responsible for supervising all officials and inspecting the world on behalf of the emperor.
If there is any injustice, they also have the power to take charge.
Therefore, if many people cannot get justice in the yamen, they will file a lawsuit with the embroidery department. If the people from the embroidery department take the case, they will handle the matter impartially. If the result is found that the government yamen is indeed bending the law for personal gain. You can directly arrest the officials first and then report them to the capital.
This also led to the fact that in many cases, the Embroidery Department was not only feared by the master, but also the great blue sky in the hearts of the people.
The Department of Embroidery and Clothes formed a good check and balance with the officials, so that no one in the Dayuan Dynasty's bureaucracy was dominant, and they restrained each other to form a balance.
Song Anning screamed for a while, and when she saw those people approaching, she almost began to despair.
At this moment, the door creaked open.
A young man in brocade clothes came out yawning.
"Who is it? What's the fuss about in the middle of the night?"
Song Anning didn't care about being rude and got in immediately.
"Sir, please take a step to speak. Someone outside is trying to arrest me."
The man was startled and looked up at the officials.
The officials were also confused. The man hid in the Embroidery Department. Of course they couldn't afford to offend him. It was true that he had violated the law. Should this man... be arrested or not?
The young man reacted quickly.
Turning his head, he glanced at Song Anning first, and then at the yamen officer outside the door. After thinking about it, he finally said: "Brothers, please go back. Since people have come to our yamen, they have grievances. If she really wants to To redress her grievances, there is a reason why she came out in the middle of the night. If not, haha... the punishment from my embroidery department will be heavier than the thirty big boards of all your brothers."
The officials looked at each other and looked at each other.
After a while, a leader stood up, cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I'll trouble you, sir."
The young man waved his hand, and the officials turned and left.
After they left, Zhang Hu looked at the woman in front of him.
That's right, he was in Qingfeng Village before and later followed Su Zian to the Jiang Mansion to meet Zhang Hu, one of Pei Qingyan's two brothers.
After that day, Su Zian learned that Pei Qingyan wanted to use him, so he worked very hard for Pei Qingyan. After a few days, the matter was finally done. Pei Qingyan allowed him to bring two people to join the Embroidery Department, but he had to start from the lowest level first. Start.
But for this, Su Zian and Zhang Hu were very grateful.
After all, who would want to be a bandit if he could be an office worker?
The most important thing is that if you can follow Mr. Pei, wouldn't your future be better than being a bandit?
Zhang Hu followed Su Zian into the Embroidery Department, but Su Zian had other tasks and was not here in Jizhou. Instead, Liu Er, who accompanied Su Zian to the Jiang Mansion with him, was also arranged here with him.
Tonight, Zhang Hu couldn't sleep because he was too excited. He thought of checking around again, but he heard someone knocking on the door, and he happened to meet Song Anning.
Zhang Hu had met Song Anning.
When Song Anning brought two maids to Qingfeng Village alone, this was something they had never seen before. While they were amazed at this woman's boldness, they also remembered her appearance and identity.
But Song Anning's target was Su Zian, so he naturally didn't notice the appearance of the other bandits, so he didn't know Zhang Hu.
"Big, lord?"
Seeing that he kept staring at her without speaking, Song Anning felt a little uneasy.
Zhang Hu coughed and posed. He felt that his posture did not look like an official, so he changed back to his most comfortable posture before and said, "Come with me."
He brought Song Anning to the lobby.
There was no one in the lobby at the moment. There was only one chair and a public table. On both sides, there were torture rods and other equipment just like in the prefect's yamen.
Song Anning looked around and found no one else. She also guessed that it was late and everyone was probably asleep.
She was lucky enough to meet someone who stayed up late at night, so she had no choice but to tell him the truth.
"My lord, if a civilian girl is wronged, I would like to ask you to redress the grievances for the civilian girl."
Zhang Hu has just joined the Embroidery Department, which is equivalent to an apprentice, and is not qualified to handle cases.
Therefore, after hearing what she said, he immediately paused, thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go and see if I'm asleep on the peak. If not, I'll wake him up again and listen to your grievances. "
Song Anning was stunned for a while.
Ganqing is still someone who can't make the decision.
She said nothing more and stood aside obediently.
Zhang Hu went out, and not long after, a man in a black brocade robe and a mask came over.
