In the county government office, Wei Zheng sat there with a livid face. If this matter was not handled properly, it might cause some trouble... After all, Hebei Chuding.
Zhang Xuansu is well-known for loving the people like a son. When Dou Jiande wanted to kill him, thousands of people were willing to die on his behalf. Seeing this tragic incident today, he was furious and scolded Cui Hao... The latter had to raise his sleeves to cover up, but even so , his face was also wet.
"Brother Xuancheng, brother Xuansu." Cui Xin bowed his head in shame, "I will be responsible for the funeral..."
"You have to bear it all?" Zhang Xuansu said, "Should I pay a few dollars in compensation? Or give me a coffin?!"
Cui Hao took a few steps back and then said: "My husband was attached to a thief and just now he devoted himself to survive. Now that Fang Silang has returned to his hometown, he committed suicide out of shame... No human effort can save him."
Zhang Xuansu almost wanted to punch someone with his fists. Is this human language?
Qinghe ordered Cui Qian to come forward and persuade: "Xuan Su Gong, I came to the village at dusk yesterday, and my sixteenth brother promised to send him back to the city today, but I found out this morning..."
Cui Qian stopped talking mid-sentence, and his eyes fell on Li Shan who slowly walked out of the back hall.
The young man's face was cold, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were narrowed into a slit, his gaze swept around the hall, and he suddenly sneered: "Brother Cui is the order of Qinghe. He must protect the country and the people. He is not a member of the Cui family of Qinghe." .”
“It’s such a tragic case, so it’s just that it hasn’t been brought to court yet, but the criminals aren’t even arrested!”
Cui Qian was shocked, "Tragedy?"
Li Shan simply replied, "It was definitely not that he committed suicide by hanging from a beam. He was strangled with a rope and then hung from a beam."
"Nonsense!"
"true?"
After a short silence, all kinds of questions came to his face like raindrops. Li Shan bowed to Cui Xin calmly, then turned around and said: "Anyone who commits suicide by hanging from a beam will have a bruised face, a fractured hyoid bone, an exposed tongue tip, and no strangulation at the back of the neck." mark."
"The one who was strangled has injuries on his palms, there may be bruises on his back, and there are obvious strangulation marks on the back of his neck, and..."
Although Li Shan is not a forensic doctor, he can still see obvious loopholes. The bright fingerprints on his neck indicate that he was strangled to death!
And he was obviously strangled to death naked, because the women's clothes and skirts were wrongly worn, and they were not worn by him... A few days ago, Li Shan saw Mr. Zhou dressing and wearing skirts every morning, which was quite troublesome. Most men are Don't understand.
Cui Hao shook his head and sneered, "This kind of thing is empty talk."
"If you are looking for a bad guy, you will know it at a glance."
In this era, there was already a profession of widowers, who specialized in the funeral industry, but they had already begun to participate in the autopsy work in the trial of Yamen cases.
After Cui Xin hesitated for a moment, he waved to Cui Qian, who quickly walked out with a serious look on his face.
Li Shan glanced at Wei Zheng, who had been working on the background board, "I'll leave everything to Brother Xuancheng from now on."
Wei Zheng heard the coldness of these words and was stunned for a moment before he reacted. His face changed slightly and he wanted to say something, but Li Shan had already turned around and left the door.
For Wei Zheng, this situation may not be a bad thing.
Everyone is dead, what else can Fang Silang do?
Unless Fang Silang is a unique seed of infatuation in the world, he can only accept the compensation sadly... In order to calm public opinion, the Cui family may compensate for the fields, the manor, and even a large sum of money.
Will Fang Shilang not accept it?
If you don't accept it, you won't be able to get a single hair. Your family will be ruined. What will you do in the future?
What's more, if you don't accept it, you are likely to continue to be persecuted by the Cui family... No matter what kind of organization, it grows to be everywhere in a county, with tens of millions of people, and tens of thousands of affiliates... There will always be some underhanded tactics.
In this way, as long as Fang Silang accepts the compensation, the matter will be settled. Wei Zheng, the envoy touring Shandong, can appease the family on the one hand. The Cui family is the one who has been wronged, so it is reasonable to provide some compensation. , on the one hand, it can also appease the people, after all, it is giving an explanation.
Li Shan didn't know if Wei Zheng had such a plan in mind, but he felt that he was inseparable.
"According to the law?" After hearing Li Shan's analysis, Ling Jing sneered: "According to the law, you should die, but in this world, who dares to offend the Cui family of Qinghe in Beizhou?"
"That's all, that's all." Li Shanpi hummed with a smile, "Wei Xuancheng, Wei Xuancheng..."
In history books, how many later generations of literati mentioned that period of Zhenguan rule with admiration and reminiscence, and how many books tirelessly mentioned Wei Zheng, a famous official of Zhenguan... But in fact, no matter whether Wei Zheng was a politician, a bureaucrat, or a celebrity, he must Follow certain guidelines.
What criteria?
Nothing more than pros and cons.
Wei Zheng can only make peace between the aristocratic family and the common people... He is not even the lowest class of common people. The Fang family owns more than 200 acres of fertile land and is considered a small landowner.
It has been more than a year since he came to this era. Li Shan has met the descendants of Longxi Li, Xingyang Zheng, Taiyuan King, and Qinghe Cui. He may also have friends like Li Kai, Li Zhaode, and Wang Renbiao, or Wang Renyou and Cui. Hao is such a grudge.
Li Shan once made a comment in his mind. Generally speaking, his qualifications are average, but he is not an outstanding person.
But this time, in Beizhou and Qinghe, Li Shan saw with his own eyes the influence of the powerful families of this era.
Occupying a farm and abducting a person's wife and daughter, that's all. Murder and silence... the county government is not willing to file a case.
The envoys who inspected Shandong under the orders of the saints could only make peace during the period, appease both sides, and just hope to get over it.
Li Shan felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help but murmured: "The Calabash Monk misjudged the Calabash Case..."
The reason for the misjudgment was largely due to the protective amulet that the gourd monk took out.
And the five surnames and seven families, aren't they just a protective talisman?
Jia is true, white jade is the hall gold and horse.
Epang Palace, three hundred miles away, cannot accommodate a person of Jinling history.
There was a shortage of white jade beds in the East China Sea, so the Dragon King came to invite the King of Jinling.
There is so much "snow" in a good year, and pearls are like earth and gold are like iron.
How will future generations view the five surnames and seven families?
Thousands of years of inheritance, classics and principles passed down from generation to generation?
The fact is that every family has generals who once held military power... In other words, they are in the same vein as the four major families in Dream of Red Mansions.
In this era, clans and clans not only participate in government affairs, but their influence is not only on the upper class, but also has an even more terrifying influence on the middle and lower classes of society.
The imperial power did not go to the countryside, and the power vacuum in this part of the country... was occupied by aristocratic families headed by the Five Surnames and Seven Families.
No wonder starting from Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, successive emperors have been committed to reducing power and family members as long as they want to make a difference, but unfortunately the results have not been good. Even Wu Zetian's ruthless efforts have mediocre results... In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, Qinghe Cui Almost all the prime ministers, Boling Cui, Wen Xi Pei and Zhao Jun Li, took turns sitting in a row.
This kind of clan system... except for physical death and crazy wars that spread all over the world from bottom to top, it is almost impossible to use political means to weaken or even eliminate it.
