There are many types of gifts, including real gold and silver, antique calligraphy and paintings, rare collectibles, and shares of the most popular shopping card and coupon company in later generations. These can all be exchanged for equal value with money, and in the end they can all be exchanged for improvements. The weight of the quality of your life, but some gifts cannot be measured by price, such as the head of an enemy, the chastity of a beautiful woman, and interesting things that make you laugh.
Li Yutang has been studying all his life, and he is considered to be very well-educated. He can run a cruise ship in the belly of the prime minister, and he is a kind old man on the surface. But everyone has evil spirits, and Mr. Li also has it. His political opponents in the court scolded his ancestor Li Yutang, who was the eighteenth generation. He would also laugh it off, but if his wealth and interests were lost, this would be unforgivable to Mr. Li. If Songjiang Magistrate Xie Xiangrong and his half-son-in-law came to visit today without giving gifts and could walk out of Li's house safely, It is unknown whether people who come to visit me in the future will be willing to bring gifts. After all, money is not brought by strong winds. No one thinks of taking out the money that comes into his pocket to give away. He is not worried about scarcity but about inequality. Why is Xie Xiangrong It’s okay to come to the door without bringing gifts, but we can’t. With everyone rushing to imitate, how can the life of Mr. Li’s family reach the level of a moderately developed country within half a year, and the level of the most developed country by the end of the year? The accumulation of Mr. Li’s wealth is inseparable. Everyone, Mr. Li cannot do without you to maintain his arrogant and luxurious life, so Xie Xiangrong cannot be allowed to set a precedent and play a bad leading role. Kill one to serve as a warning to others, and kill a chicken to show the monkeys. Li Yutang has secretly decided in his heart that he will ask the censor to impeach Xie Xiangrong tomorrow for corruption, perverting the law, improper behavior, and promiscuous relations with the girls in the house. He will try to let Xie Xiangrong return to his hometown in fine clothes tomorrow afternoon. No, Dai Zui will be punished. prison.
The wonderful dance was also interrupted. It was probably the first time for the girls to see the master angry. He was so frightened that he disappeared. The servants who were serving him had already stepped aside. Xie Xiangrong's kowtow continued.
As an official promoted by Li Yutang, Xie Xiangrong was well aware of the consequences of offending Mr. Li. Once, a colleague was sent to an insignificant position by Li Yutang just because he first paid homage to the Duke instead of the Minister of Civil Affairs. When he was a county magistrate in Jilongshan, he encountered pirates who came ashore and robbed him. He died heroically in the battle with the Japanese pirates. I heard that the body of this poor and promising official has not been brought back to the capital.
There was silence in the pavilion, and you could hear a pin drop. Liu Wenzheng's words quickly attracted everyone. Li Yutang's arrogance continued. Hearing Liu Wenzheng's words, he reluctantly put on a smile and said, "Master Liu, what do you mean?"
"My lord, please take a look at this petition first." Liu Wenzheng handed the petition to Li Yutang with a smile on his face that said happiness was about to come. The mother-in-law didn't want the gift to give her daughter for free, and she would laugh even if she died.
He originally thought it was a gift note, but the first thing he saw was the petition. Li Yutang's anger rose, so he didn't pay attention to the specific content on it. After hearing what Liu Wenzheng said, Li Yutang finally lowered his head and began to look at the petition carefully. .
Looking at this piece of paper, Li Yutang's smile slowly widened and expanded a little bit. He was indeed the grandfather of Li Jincheng, the loudest mouth in the Ming Dynasty. This was hereditary.
"Master Li, this is not just someone giving you a pillow when you fall asleep. There is a clue."
To be honest, although Jin Yiwei does not do human affairs, it is not completely a waste yamen. If Li Yutang wants to make unjust, false and wrong cases to punish the four great princes, there is a high possibility that Jin Yiwei will find out the truth. After all, Hao Liande left with several princes. It's also very close, and Jin Yiwei will also be interested in matters related to the four major princes. But if this is true and there is no adulteration, this case is not certain yet. No matter how powerful the Jin Yiwei is, he cannot turn right and wrong.
"Haha, wonderful, wonderful," Li Yutang's expression finally softened, and he looked at Liu Wenzheng and asked, "Mr. Liu, what do you think is the crime of beating a friend from a foreign country? Is it enough to be beheaded?"
After all, Liu Wenzheng had been working in the criminal industry for a lifetime, and he had a good understanding of both the "Nishun Code" and the "Da Ming Code". "No, Mr. Li, you read it wrong. The person who was beaten was not a friend of Fan State but an envoy of Fan State. "
The world is fair and everyone is equal, okay, drink it, chicken soup warms your stomach.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, superiors and superiors make judgments. If you beat an ordinary citizen to death, you may be acquitted for a small amount of money. Major crimes will be converted into minor crimes, and minor crimes will be converted into innocent. This is the specialty of Liu Wenzheng, the Minister of Punishment. According to the "Ming Dynasty Law", Fan Bang was beaten and injured. The friend will be given thirty sticks and a thousand taels of compensation as compensation. If you beat a foreign friend with status, the crime will be re-identified and the punishment will be different.
"Master Liu means," Well, I have studied for a lifetime, but the court examination did not take law. Li Yutang said that he had heard of "Da Ming Law" but had not read it. The friends of the Fan State who were beaten and the envoys of the Fan State were guilty. No differences have been studied.
"According to our Law of the Ming Dynasty, beating a foreign envoy is a serious and vicious case. The evidence is conclusive. The perpetrator's property will be confiscated and he will be killed with a stick. The conspirators will be punished the same way, and the witnesses present will also be punished, twenty sticks. No fine was imposed because the foreign envoys did not lend a helping hand when they were humiliated. This made the Ming Empire’s people’s beautiful story of being willing to help others and yelling when they saw injustice become a laughing stock. Simply put, it was detrimental to the national system.”
"That's it," Li Yutang started stroking his beard again, just like celebrities who like to stand up and stand on their toes when taking pictures. It was just to make up for his own shortcomings and flaws. He boldly guessed the reason why Teacher Li Yutang stroked his beard. The following may be Hairless.
"It is clearly written in the complaint. The grandson of that old man Qian Song was also present. The one who called Wang Budie is a capital offender, and those with a lot of money will not have good results. With twenty sticks, I am absolutely confident that he will die." I, the Ministry of Punishment, will let that old man experience the white-haired man sending the black-haired man once again."
The first experience was when Qian Song's son died on Tianci Mountain in order to cover Zhu Xiluo's retreat.
"But this guy called Kameda Jutaro is just an ordinary Japanese pirate businessman. Even if he is the son-in-law of the Soy Sauce Emperor, he is not a relative of the emperor." The water thrown out by the married daughter will not be buried in her own ancestral grave even after she dies. Taro Tabata is not a member of the soy sauce family.
"Whether he is an envoy from another country or not is not up to us," Liu Wenzheng turned to Zhang Songhe, the Minister of Rites, and said, "Here comes Mr. Lao Zhang."
"Wait a minute, I'm confused now, can you two adults make it clear?" It was Li Yutang and Liu Wenzheng who sang and sang, and everyone else was confused. If we hadn't been together for a long time, we all knew that everyone had normal needs. In terms of orientation, the behavior of Li Yutang and Liu Wenzheng is easily reminiscent of a tacit understanding. They wish their lovers to get married and give them inflatable dolls as wedding gifts.
"Master Zhang will know after seeing it." Li Yutang handed the petition to Zhang Songhe.
Zhang Songhe also slapped his thigh after reading it, "No problem, I said that the Eighteen Taro Taro Kameson is the Japanese envoy, he is the Japanese envoy, it's not the same."
It was the Ministry of Rites that was responsible for receiving envoys from foreign countries. As the boss of the Ministry of Rites, it was not easy to create false certificates.
"Well, Mr. Zhang, the Japanese pirate's name is Kameda Shiba Taro, not Kameda Sun," Liu Wenzheng reminded. He didn't want his Criminal Department to take over the case, and Kameda became Kameda Sun. How could he try his case? If identity is faked, should people also fake it?
"Haha, they're all the same, they're all the same. I've long heard that people on the Japanese pirate side are very casual in their names. It's just as common for people to call them Goudanshi and Xiao Ming Xiaohong in our Ming Empire." Zhang Songhe waved his hand and didn't take it seriously.
"Um, call me grandson Zhimei. There are those with strong intestines. As for the dog balls, well, maybe there are. After all, everyone is a weirdo."
"Master Zhang, it's different. Don't write your name wrong."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I am a scholar."
Well, the landlords and gentry also studied.
Among the four officials present, only Li Jinchen was still in a state of confusion. Being deaf or mute was not what Li Jinchen, a cabinet member, should do. Unable to wait for everyone's explanations, Li Jinchen took the complaint from Zhang Songhe and looked at it carefully.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, it's certain that Qian Song will wear a filial piety hat." Li Jinchen's smile was unscrupulous. He must have been oppressed by the four great princes for some years. Seeing his enemies and crying bitterly, this is a good thing. What a feast for the eyes.
"I think it's not enough to just let Qian Song, the immortal white-haired man, give away the black-haired man. It would be better to remove Qian Song from power once and for all, put him in jail, and finally die violently in prison." Li Yutang gritted his teeth with hatred.
He is a scholar, and he ranks first among scholars, farmers, industry and merchants. The proud self-confidence of scholars cannot allow military officials to stand in front of civil officials. As the head of civil officials, Li Yutang feels that he has the responsibility to drive military officials out of the court and purge the military officials from the court. The unhealthy tendencies brought by this caused the Holy Emperor to surround the civil servants, allowing the Ming Empire to become prosperous and powerful again under the leadership of the civil servants.
"This is not easy. When the time comes, contact a group of imperial censors to impeach Qian and Song for teaching his grandson incompetently. He did not seek political power in his position, and his body was left with nothing to eat. As a meritorious figure of the Ming Empire, he failed to set an example and allowed his children to harm the village and wantonly. You acted recklessly." The person who wanted to be punished listed the crimes with ease, and soon Liu Wenzheng thought of a way to lure Qian Song into trouble.
"Qian Song is still a relatively shameless military official. When the time comes, Qian Song will be ashamed and resign and return to his hometown to retire. If not, I will incite those students from the Imperial College. I don't see what Qian Song will do. I'm sorry to continue working in court." Zhang Songhe was not good at writing, but Zhang Songhe was good at martial arts, such as contacting the censor and inciting the students in the Imperial College.
"This is a great plan. If the imperial censor is impeached and the students of the Imperial College petition, then the emperor will be riding a tiger and be unable to get off. If Qian Song is not punished, the hearts of scholars all over the world will be chilled."
"Yes, let's do it." Everyone unanimously adopted these opinions.
After the discussion was completed, everyone's attention turned to the magistrate Xie Xiangrong who was the biggest contributor to the eradication of violence this time.
"Thank you, Sir. There was a misunderstanding just now. Please get up quickly." Li Jinchen took a step forward and offered help.
Xie Xiangrong felt uneasy as if it was the first time he went to a roadside express hotel with his favorite girl using his parents' identity. Xie Xiangrong was so excited that he couldn't help himself. If he offended Li Yutang, his life would be worse than death. Scholars are stingy, especially if they have something in their hands. A reader of power. Xie Xiangrong, who was kneeling on the ground, felt like he was being baked in the eighteenth level of hell. He was about to wait for the moment when the guillotine fell. He said goodbye to his fourth-grade prefect, goodbye to his big house, and goodbye to his fifty-eight taels, four cents, and five cents. Li Yinzi, goodbye Xiao Cui who washed her feet, goodbye, hey, it seems like there is something left behind, okay, I don’t think about it anymore, I’m going to die, why do I still think so much.
Just when he was wondering if he should wait for the official document from the Ministry of Civil Affairs after resigning, Xie Xiangrong heard the whispers of several adults. Well, Xie Xiangrong was also a little confused. After all, there was nothing he wanted to do in Songjiang Mansion. People have no experience without practice. However, Xie Xiangrong learned from the words of several adults that the diploma he brought was of use.
After hearing what Li Jinchen said, Xie Xiangrong stood up quickly and said, "Thank you, sir." Xie Xiangrong did not dare to let the cabinet minister support him.
"Xie Xiangrong, the petition you brought is still useful." Li Yutang did not feel ashamed at all for misunderstanding someone. The grievances given by those in power are gifts. It is impossible to apologize. "But the rules are the rules. Come on, Li There is no one in the government who is empty-handed. I will give you three days to read your merits, and one hundred thousand taels of silver must be delivered."
The master finally calmed down, and Xie Xiangrong finally smiled. With one hundred thousand taels of silver, Xie Xiangrong said there was no big problem.
"Master Xie, where is the turtle grandson you mentioned?" Li Jinchen asked. If he wanted to handle the case, the plaintiff was indispensable.
"In response to my lord, I will let Kameda Jutaro recover from his injuries at the inn. Once he recovers, I will immediately arrange for him to meet some adults," Xie Xiangrong replied.
"Stupid, how can I be the plaintiff if the plaintiff is not injured? I think the turtle grandson can be injured a little more seriously."
Well, injury assessment naturally requires injuries.
"The injury is more serious"
"Yes, the Holy One is merciful. He never sees honest people being bullied. Only when the injuries are more serious can the Holy One feel sorry for him."
"Okay, I'll try when I go back." Xie Xiangrong didn't dare to guarantee it. After all, it can be recuperated even if it's injured, but it's difficult to grow again if it's cut.
"I heard that the boy named Wang Bushit is also related to Zhang Luzi," Liu Wenzheng asked.
"Yes, they seem to have business dealings," Xie Xiangrong replied.
"Masters, please see if you can also pull Zhang Luzi off the horse," Liu Wenzheng suggested. It was probably Zhang Luzi's scratch that hurt Liu Wenzheng's body and heart at the same time. The girl Li Yutang gave her wanted to use it a few more times. Zhang Luzi always likes to dig out bird's nests every time they fight, which makes Liu Wenzheng very insecure.
"No, forget it. That old man Zhang Donkey doesn't have martial ethics." Everyone waved their hands. It means that Zhang Luzi is not easy to mess with.
