Chapter 240: The Beauty Case
"Bao Qingtian? Bao Zheng?" Ying Zheng smiled slightly, "I wonder what this person has the ability to allow you to tell a story about."
"I don't know, I haven't heard it from my husband," said Gongzi Gao.
Gongzi Gao's words made Ying Zheng and others even more curious. What kind of abilities did this official from the Northern Song Dynasty have that the people would actually give him the name Qingtian?
A blue sky is a blue sky without any clouds.
A person, and he is an official, and he is named Qingtian by the people. Is it possible that this person has no flaws at all?
Qin An on the stage didn't know what the people were thinking, so he continued: "Kaifeng Mansion is Bao Zheng's yamen.
There are three guillotines in the yamen, which are given by the emperor. They are also called the three guillotines of Qingtian. They are divided into dragon-head guillotine, tiger-head guillotine and dog-head guillotine.
Dragon head guillotine: It can guillotine the emperor's relatives, phoenixes, dragons and grandsons.
Tiger head guillotine: It can guillotine corrupt officials and treacherous ministers who bring harm to the country.
Dog-headed guillotine: Can guillotine local tyrants, evil gentry, bullies and scoundrels.
Countless relatives of the emperor, corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry died under these three guillotines.
Those who do evil are afraid of these three guillotines.
The guillotine case I am talking about today was named Chen Shimei, and she was the consort of the imperial court. If you want to know the details, let me explain in detail. "
"Pa bang bang..."
Thunderous applause suddenly sounded.
Ying Zheng and the others couldn't help but turn their heads and look behind them. We haven't started talking yet. Is there any need to be so enthusiastic?
On the stage, Qin An took a sip of tea and said slowly: "It is said that Chen Shimei came from a poor family and was loving and harmonious with his wife Qin Xianglian, and gave birth to a daughter and a son.
After ten years of hard study, Chen Shimei embarked on the road to the imperial examination.
While Chen Shimei was in the capital, Qin Xianglian took care of her parents-in-law and children in her hometown. She was praised as a good daughter-in-law by everyone in the village.
However, another year, her hometown suffered a flood and her parents-in-law were killed. Qin Xianglian could only take her two children to the capital to look for Chen Shimei..."
The villagers in the audience learned that Chen Shimei became the consort after winning the first prize in the exam, abandoned his wife and a pair of children, and even ignored his parents. They called Chen Shimei a beast and a scumbag.
Everyone began to pity Qin Xianglian, why did such a good woman marry a loser.
However, when everyone heard that Chen Shimei not only refused to recognize her, but also sent Han Qi to hunt down Qin Xianglian, mother and son in the middle of the night, everyone was filled with indignation and wanted to kill Chen Shimei.
"Asshole, how can there be such a heartless and unjust person in this world? I wish I could kill this person myself." Ying Zheng said angrily.
Fu Sheng said: "Village chief, please calm down, some people are like this, they will do whatever it takes for their own glory and wealth, even their close relatives will be killed.
Therefore, the world needs the teachings of Saint Confucius so that everyone in the world can understand etiquette, justice, integrity, filial piety, loyalty to the king, and patriotism. "
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "That's true. This matter can't be delayed. Fu Sheng, after you return, immediately transfer all the Confucian scholars out and let them serve as teachers."
"promise."
…
Just when everyone thought that Qin Xianglian, mother and son would be killed by Han Qi, they did not expect that Han Qi, who valued love and righteousness, could not bear to do it, and even committed suicide to repay Chen Shimei's kindness.
This led to Qin Xianglian being mistaken for the murderer and imprisoned.
In response, the villagers in the audience shouted loudly, demanding that Qin Xianglian be released, saying that Qin Xianglian was innocent.
Qin An saw the excitement among the crowd and immediately took a photo of the stunned scene.
The loud noise immediately woke up the villagers, and they sat down one after another, not daring to act any more recklessly.
However, Ying Zheng did not blame the villagers, but helped the villagers and asked Qin An to release Qin Xianglian.
Qin An, on the other hand, kept talking, and finally asked everyone to quiet down.
"Am I really that talented at telling stories?" Qin An began to doubt himself and muttered to himself.
Qin An then went on to say that after Qin Xianglian was arrested, Chen Shimei asked officials to send Qin Xianglian to the frontier, and an official was ordered to kill her halfway.
At this time, the villagers, Ying Zheng and others were worried about Qin Xianglian's safety. They all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Zhan Zhao, who was passing by, had rescued Qin Xianglian and the others.
Qin Xianglian learned that the person who saved her was Nan Xia Zhan Zhao, and followed Master Bao everywhere to plead for the people. Bao Zheng was a good and honest official who was not afraid of power.
So he immediately accused Chen Shimei of being unjust, abandoning his wife and children, deceiving the emperor, paying for murder, etc.
Zhan Zhao learned that Chen Shimei was such a person, so he accompanied Qin Xianglian back to the capital and handed Qin Xianglian, mother and son to Bao Zheng.
When everyone heard that Qin Xianglian and her son were handed over to Bao Zheng, everyone breathed a sigh of relief again. With Bao Zheng's protection, even if they couldn't deal with Chen Shimei, they could at least protect Qin Xianglian, her mother and her son.
Qin An continued: "After Qin Xianglian, mother and son saw Bao Zheng, they immediately knelt down and complained to Bao Zheng.
Bao Zheng looked Qin Xianglian up and down for a while. Seeing that the mother and son were very pitiful, he asked in a deep voice: "What grievances you have, just tell me. If it is true, I will definitely help you."
So Qin Xianglian told all Chen Shimei's crimes one by one.
Bao Zheng was furious when he heard this. He wanted to arrest Chen Shimei, but he couldn't because the arrest required evidence.
This is why Bao Zheng was given the name of justice. Bao Zheng always has conclusive evidence in his trials, and he never abuses lynching and beats people into submission.
Finally, Bao Zheng sent Zhan Zhao to Chen Shimei’s hometown to find witnesses..."
When the villagers heard that Zhan Zhao was taking action, they were immediately curious about Nan Xia Zhan Zhao. Can he be certified?
Qin An didn't say much. He took a sip of tea. Seeing the impatient expressions of the villagers and Ying Zheng, he smiled slightly and continued.
"Zhan Zhao went through all kinds of hardships and finally found a couple to serve as witnesses..."
When the villagers heard that Zhan Zhao had found a witness, they were all happy for Qin Xianglian, because with the witness they could convict Chen Shimei.
However, when they learned that the woman among the witnesses had been killed by a killer on the way, they all cursed Chen Shimei, saying she was a fucker with a human face and an animal heart.
When Qin An said that Bao Zheng wanted to punish the consort Chen Shimei, everyone felt happy, but when they heard that the princess and the queen mother came forward to interfere, everyone began to worry.
Those are the Queen Mother and the Princess, who dares not to give them face?
However, when the villagers heard that Bao Zheng had stopped the Queen Mother and the princess outside the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion, preventing them from entering the Yamen to interfere with the verdict.
Everyone in the audience held their breath when Wang Dynasty's Mahan lifted up the dragon's guillotine.
Qin An suddenly slapped the alarm, as if throwing a fire sign, and shouted: "Open... guillotine..."
Everyone is excited, are they finally about to get killed?
In the end, Chen Shimei was guillotined by Chaoyang Mahan in his repentance.
Applause burst out immediately, and even Ying Zheng applauded vigorously, applauding Bao Zheng, a good and honest official who is not afraid of power and makes decisions for the people.
Qin An waved to everyone and said: "Thank you for your support. There will be stories later. Everyone can move around freely. If you are hungry, you can go to the stall next to you to buy food. If you are thirsty, there will be something to drink."
Some people died, but not completely...
