"Can I allow the villain to have a look?"
It is indeed difficult to say whether it is in line with Zhao Zhen's wishes, but as soon as Di Jin said these words, Zhang Mao was really curious and bowed his hand.
Di Jin said: "The noble man invites you."
Zhang Mao took it very politely and looked at it carefully.
He read the first page alone for a long time, reading those paragraphs over and over again, and finally let out a sigh of relief, his eyes turning a little red: "Human life is as big as the sky! Human life is as big as the sky!"
Those who have watched the TV series "The Punisher of the Song Dynasty" must have been deeply impressed by the sentence that human life is as important as the sky, and even thought it was Song Ci's words in "The Collection of Abandoned Wrongs".
But in fact, this is an ancient social proverb. It was basically spread during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties and was written into "Water Margin".
Judging from the treatment of human life in "Water Margin", it is somewhat ironic.
Di Jin officially added it to "The Collection of Cleansing Wrongs" because he felt that among ancient works, whether it was handed down classics and history or entertainment storybooks, there was no other book that reflected this better than this book. The gist of it in five words.
Human life is as big as the sky, it is no longer an empty slogan!
The lower the status of a person, the more they can empathize with this. Of course, they must also have a certain cultural foundation. Zhang Mao happens to be satisfied with both.
He is a cripple with a broken body, but he can have the highest-grade learning environment in the world. When Yan Shu was teaching Zhao Zhen, he often served beside him, and under his influence, he was also knowledgeable.
Now looking at this incomplete manuscript, Zhang Mao was really moved. After reading it carefully for a long time, he finally composed himself and said, "Mr. Di Lang must turn this manuscript into a book!"
After saying that, he realized that he shouldn't have said such words, so he took a step back and bowed: "I've lost my temper, I hope Mr. Di Lang can forgive me!"
Di Jin didn't expect the effect to be so outstanding. In this era when ordinary people's lives are as cheap as grass, perhaps these words really touched people's hearts. He stepped forward to help him: "Young nobles don't have to be like this. Since I have the remaining manuscripts, I have to finish it." The only thing about this work is that it is not as legendary as the storybook, and my current level is far from enough to complete it. Fortunately, you and I are still young and will one day witness it become a book."
Zhang Mao said sincerely: "Mr. Di Lang is indeed a great sage. I look forward to that day coming soon!"
After Zhang Mao carefully put away the remaining manuscripts and presented them to the officials for viewing in the palace, Lin Xiaoyi looked at his back and said with envy: "Sir, this middle-class man knows so much, I will I don’t understand what you wrote…”
Di Jin smiled and said: "I will also teach you how to read in the future, and try to be as good as others."
Lin Xiaoyi was shocked: "That's not what I meant..."
Di Jin patted him on the shoulder, really trying to cultivate him.
As his status gradually improved and his contacts became wider and wider, the scholars around him also had to improve. Before, there was no time to teach. After the imperial examination, it was time to train them.
Maybe Zhu Er?
But that thief girl is not as loyal as Lin Xiaoyi, and she is far less able to calm down than he is...
When Cao Cao arrived, there was a knock on the door. After Di Jin came in with a voice, Zhu Er hurriedly walked in with a bit of urgency on his eyebrows: "Master, those Imperial City Secretaries have been guarding outside for half a month. They I’m afraid I have to keep guarding, so what should I do about that?”
Gongsun Ce would have said the classic line "I know you are in a hurry, but don't be anxious yet". Di Jin, on the other hand, had a calm expression and asked a question: "Do you still remember that in Yang Qu, in order to avoid being hunted by the Lei family? How?"
Zhu Er was startled for a moment, and then said: "I took Xuan'er's identity and was regarded as the criminal who kidnapped the noble girl and was imprisoned in Yangqu Prison..."
Di Jin said: "After Liu Congguang's case, Jiang Deming and his confidants must have hated me very much, because I made them fail to do their errands and lost points in front of the Queen Mother. But if they were asked to choose the one who has the greatest relationship with you, 豼Do you think they will be the first to suspect me?"
Zhu Er understood and nodded slowly: "Indeed, they will not doubt the young master. If they really came to Beijing for me, they should be cautious and not behave like this..."
Di Jin said: "So what should you do?"
Zhu'er gradually gained confidence: "I will appear in front of the Imperial City Bureau in a big way, let them be familiar with my existence, and treat me completely as the master's maid Zhu'er, so that there will no longer be any doubts!"
Di Jin said: "You have also seen the performance of the Imperial City Division these days. Don't pay too much attention to them. They provoked me once and suffered a big loss. Now they dare not take action openly to avoid passing the blame to me. It’s in our hands! And your case involves too much and the process is long. If you worry about it every day and the evil people who are chasing you have not been punished, but you yourself collapse first, is it worth it? "
Zhuer took a deep breath and began to regain her previous vitality before entering the capital, but she quickly entered the state of a maid again, and gave a blessing: "My maid understands! Thank you for your teaching, Master!"
"Go!" Di Jin nodded: "Xiao Yi, you come with her!"
After Lin Xiaoyi and Zhu Er left, Di Jin sat alone at the table, looking thoughtful.
After Liu Congguang's case, he was completely hated by Jiang Deming, who was well known to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was working in the Imperial City Department.
It is not even an exaggeration to say that he is a target that he wants to kill quickly.
After all, in the political environment of the early and middle Northern Song Dynasty, as long as civil servants did not commit heinous crimes, they had room for change. If you were more rigid, you did not need to be liked by the emperor. When the time was right, the emperor would have to pinch your nose and transfer you back.
But the eunuchs in the inner dynasty were different. Their power came entirely from the appreciation of the nobles in the palace. Their status rose very quickly, and they also lost power very quickly.

Regardless of the fact that Jiang Deming is currently in the sixth rank, everyone knows that most civil servants of this rank are incomparable. However, as long as the Queen Mother Liu E is not happy, she will first take back the power to engage in imperial affairs, and then send her to the outside of the palace to promote a palace. , the dust fell from the clouds in an instant.
Therefore, letting this person lose points in front of the Queen Mother was more serious than killing his parents. One can imagine Jiang Deming's next revenge.
Why are the personnel of the Imperial City Division always hanging outside and can they be easily discovered?
Very simple.
Just to put pressure on him, an exam-taking student!
Just like the students preparing for the college entrance examination in later generations, there are a group of gangsters hanging around outside all day long. If the psychological quality is not up to standard, they will fail the college entrance examination.
There are more cheap tricks to follow. Di Jin suspects that it won't be long before the dental shops that rent this house will come to ask them to move.
This is Di Jin's way of staying at home all day long. If he goes out to attend cultural gatherings, more simple and unpretentious tricks will follow. It's possible to ask a prostitute to throw herself in front of him with the child in her arms...
Anyway, they just try their best to disgust you. There is no way to control the imperial examination, but it can greatly affect your performance and make you fail. Then your reputation will take another turn!
Di Jin didn't care much about this. His mentality was still the same. Compared with later generations of Jin Yiwei, Huang Chengsi's little appearance of jumping up and down was even a little cute.
What's more, the other party really went too far, so he naturally had a way to deal with it, just waiting for his sister's response.
However, after lunch, I strolled and read for a while, and was about to practice my mace in the backyard. There was a sound of wind behind me, and Di Xiangling came floating in. His face was a little solemn. The first words he said were: "Wu Jing, the monk who killed someone in the inn, escaped from prison." !”
Di Jin's expression also became serious: "Where?"
"In Yangwu County!" Di Xiangling said: "According to the news from Zhongyi Society, the county government asked Wu Jing to explain how he killed the three idle men on the street last year, but Wu Jing ignored the others. , was tortured and refused to confess, and in the end the county government had no choice but to hand him over to the Kaifeng government office, but before he entered the city, he was rescued by four masked thieves and disappeared!"
Di Jin said: "This man is extremely vicious and has high martial arts skills. The team guarding him should be extraordinary, right?"
Di Xiangling said: "Of course! There are good people in the government office. This time, there were dozens of people guarding Wu Jing. They were in a prison car with heavy shackles and even shackles on their feet. I thought everything was safe, but I didn't expect that they were beaten by just four people. I rescued him personally, you are quite capable!"
After a pause, she analyzed: "There shouldn't be such good people in the Beggar Gang, or such good people wouldn't be used to rob prison cars. I'm even more suspicious of the Wutai Mountain monks saving people!"
"Mount Wutai..." Di Jin frowned: "Are there so many murderers in the land of Buddhism?"
Di Xiangling chuckled: "Sixth brother, don't think too highly of monks. They have nothing in common and only worship the Buddha. That is the treatment only eminent monks in the temple receive. Ordinary monks travel around, eat and sleep in the open, and live like people in the world. The days are hard, and over time, the murderous intention becomes stronger, and the attacks are no lighter than those of other gangs!"
"Okay!" Di Jin really felt that Wu Jing's kind were only a handful, but if he thought about it carefully, in ancient times, anyone who could go out and wander around was indeed a being that was not easy to mess with. Monks did not kill? Obviously there can't be such a restriction, and even if the killing ban is opened, other things will not be taken into account.
People will continue to break through the bottom line.
Precisely because he knew how threatening they were, Di Xiangling was very serious about this group of thieves: "Brother Six, this Wu Jingsang is crazy. We must guard against him and kill him if necessary!"
Di Jin is not serious about killing, but it does not mean he is merciful. The lives of ordinary people who have nowhere to speak are the ones who have no place to speak out, rather than murderers who regard other people's lives as nothing: "At that time, Fengqiu County Lieutenant was present to reveal the truth. In the end, of course, he was handed over to the government. Now that the government can’t control him and let him run away, I’ll try my best to kill him next time I meet him!”
He felt comfortable being able to kill. Di Xiangling clapped his hands and instantly became relaxed: "That's OK! I'll just stay at home during this time!"
"Maybe not!" Di Jin thought for a while and suddenly looked outside: "When sister just came in, she should have seen many people from the Imperial City Division surrounding our house, right?
"Yes! Didn't you tell me not to touch them..." When Di Xiangling said this, he frowned: "What do you mean?"
Di Jin smiled, held up the scroll, and said happily: "Since there are free bodyguards, why should sister bother?"
…
A few days later.
A group of monks carrying baskets on their backs walked through the street next to Laoqiao Lane, and a few of them looked inside secretly.
One of the monks walking in the middle seemed kind-hearted, but if the guests who were trapped in the inn due to the snowstorm saw it, they would probably scream in terror.
Because this person is Wu Jing who shaved his head and exposed his scar.
His identity as a monk has long been exposed, and he actually dares to pretend to be a monk and walk arrogantly on the streets of the capital.
Exactly like this, even the official who got the news took a quick glance and swept over, paying attention to the more sneaky pedestrians.
"Di Shilin lives here. He came to the capital and solved another case. This man is a veritable detective!"
After finding a place to live, Wu Jing's eyes finally became hot and he said to the front and back: "Be careful. This person has practiced martial arts and is not weak. There is a silly boy beside him who is very powerful. The most powerful is his sister. This woman's martial arts skills are extremely high, I'm afraid she can compete with her former master!"
When the master was mentioned, the monks in front and behind fell silent, and then gritted their teeth and said: "Elder brother, the master has been so kind to us. Even if he returns to secular life, he will always be our master! This revenge must be avenged!"
Wu Jing's brows surged with anger, and he said decisively: "That's right! All thirty-five members of the family have died without a complete body, and the master's body has not been left alive. The yamen is incompetent. We cannot be unjust. If we don't avenge this revenge, Kaifeng Mansion will never have another one." Have a peaceful day! Everything starts with capturing this detective who is all over the capital!"
