At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. Countless melon-eating people survive in the Ming Empire, a big dye vat that is not suitable for good people to live. Countless kind hearts are also assimilated by the dark forces, but there are still many lovely people who stick to the bottom line and make their hearts Keep good thoughts and distinguish right from wrong. Good people are good people and bad people are bad people. Especially people who have relatives and friends who have been oppressed by Japanese pirates have no good feelings towards Japanese pirates for no reason. Enemies and enemies are friends. The king of nature will not die for the people. The national hero who eliminates rape is his friend, a good man who avenges the death of his relatives and friends. They are unjustly punished, which is what they don't want to see in their hearts, but their strength is really nothing compared to the laws of the Ming Dynasty. However, they can still do it if they come to help influence them today. If they don't have the ability, they can still act as a person. of. So today, they came, and they brought their relatives and friends.
Kind-hearted people also saw the scene of Wang Bushit being hit by an egg. They were also filled with indignation. They also wanted to tear the bad guys who bully good guys into pieces and beg them to be punished as they deserve. But after they saw that the people who threw the eggs were a group of scholars wearing Confucian shirts, all their indignation went back to their stomachs. The deep-rooted concept of hierarchy made them dare not say no to those who had read books. In front of the scholars, they Choose to surrender, choose to place your trust in the illusory heaven where good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil. They feel sad when they see good people being bullied, but they do nothing and can't do anything. Only by not forgetting the original intention can we always achieve it. The original intention is easy to obtain but difficult to keep. The night is beautiful, the evening breeze is cool, but the bright moon cannot shine on those who return home late.
The lights of thousands of houses make smoke, and the firewood, rice, oil and salt are another day. Life is so difficult.
Poor people must be hateful, hateful people must be miserable. Thousands of ordinary people, they have no extraordinary talent, no ability to be rich, they are very ordinary, so ordinary that they will be forgotten by those who are familiar with them in the blink of an eye. In order to survive, they do not steal or rob, they work hard, they They do not deceive or deceive, and use their own hands to feed themselves and their families. They know that the early bird catches the worm, but who would have thought that this is a luxury. The late mouse will eat better, and the hemp will eat the worm. The rope will break at the thinnest point, and misfortune will only seek out the misfortune. A difficult life will always bring more suffering. It turns out that being honest is also a curse word.
Seeing those scholars showing off their power, the kind-hearted people only dared to curse in their hearts, and it was heartbreaking to see Wang Busheng injured. Life is real, looking at plum blossoms cannot quench thirst, and drawing cakes cannot satisfy hunger. Begging for sympathy is just to comfort yourself.
However, they pinned their hopes on God countless times to satisfy their little extravagant hopes, but none of them succeeded. But who would have thought that good people are also blessed by God. No, the one who threw the egg was punished not long after he was proud. One of the front teeth fell out. At the current industry price, two front teeth are estimated to cost several thousand taels, which can be regarded as hurting your body and losing your money. God has eyes!
This scene lasts less than a minute in the movie. It’s really unconscionable for us to waste two chapters here to make up for the word count. Well, let’s end this little episode and let us move on in Wang Busheng’s footsteps.
There were no brave people, and no kind-hearted government officials brought towels to wipe his face. The sticky egg liquid stood on his face. Wang Busheng felt that his makeup all morning was wasted, and one egg could completely fix it.
Returning to the economic problems of the Ming Empire, poverty has always been around the growth of the Ming Empire. Since the founding of the Ming Empire, it has been worried about money. In order to reduce expenses, Zhu Xiluo did everything he could, such as withholding official salaries, cutting Regarding official welfare and reducing official rewards, well, Zhu Xiluo still has a conscience. The main cost-cutting measures are to target officials, because officials are not short of money, and they will not live on their wages just like now.
Of course, all unnecessary infrastructure can also be cancelled. For example, the case trial department of the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment. Liu Wenzheng once wrote to Zhu Xiluo, hoping that the court would allocate funds to establish a special case trial department for the Ministry of Punishment. But okay, Zhu Xiluo's original words were , "It already exists, why build it again? Every brick, every tile, every table, every chair, every stroke of paper is anointed by the people. Jinyiwei has a case trial department, and the Criminal Department has cases that can be borrowed."
Well, today the Criminal Department is borrowing the venue of Jinyiwei to hear the case of Wang Busheng beating up a Japanese pirate friend.
Although Jinyiwei is poor, it has always been the company with the slowest salary payment, but it is a century-old company after all. Jinyiwei has existed as early as the pre-Ming Dynasty, and it was once a wealthy and powerful company with all kinds of office departments. It has also developed through the rebellious dynasty. Construction, Jinyiwei still has a lot of fixed assets. If it weren't for the fact that Jinyiwei didn't have the tradition of selling houses and land, otherwise Jinyiwei would probably be able to escape poverty with the income from these two items, and it would not be a problem to recruit tens of thousands of people again.
The venue used by the case trial department of the Ministry of Punishment today was the Yamen of Qianhu Office. However, due to the financial crisis and unfounded accusations, slanders and frame-ups by scholars, the reputation of Jinyiwei was so bad that the number of Jinyiwei was greatly reduced. This resulted in many Jinyiwei. The Thousand Household Office and the Hundred Household Office were dissatisfied with the number of units. For this reason, Hao Liande carried out a series of rectifications and reductions. This Thousand Household Office was the unit that was reduced.
Jinyiwei also did not have money to repair it, so the appearance of Qianhu House was not very beautiful, and the skin on the walls was peeling off in pieces, just like my feet. The front door is also made of ordinary poplar trees. It is said that this kind of wood has the effect of keeping warm and keeping out the cold, because they will survive better in summer. The poplar trees in the sky look like snow.
After all, the case is being heard by the Ministry of Punishment, one of the six departments. There are still two gatekeepers in front of the door. Of course, they are staff of the Ministry of Punishment. Without employment funds from the unit, Jin Yiwei will not go out on a mission and is responsible for providing services to the Ministry of Punishment. Guys are the janitors.
After all, it is an old work unit and an old house. No one has taken care of it for a long time. The dead grass has reached the ankles. Of course, it also confirms what Mr. Lu Xun said. In fact, there are no roads on the ground. When there are more people walking, they become roads. , of course, no matter how many people take the greening route in the community, it is not a reasonable and legal way.
There is an obvious path leading directly from the front door to the back room.
According to the ancestral system of the Ming Empire, the person in charge of hearing the case today is Liu Wenzheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, an old criminal investigator with half a lifetime of criminal experience. During the rebellious period, Mr. Liu was the breadwinner.
It is estimated that in order to be fair, just and open, the cases that Mr. Liu has tried have all had solid evidence. No good person has been wronged, and no bad person has been spared. Therefore, the trial hall is semi-open and has no doors. On both sides are the seats for the officials to stand, and in the middle is the case table where the case is being tried. There are order signs and gavel wood on the case table. Does Lao Wang need to check the information and describe the size of the gavel wood and the material of the order sign? Okay, we are imagining history, just make as much nonsense as possible, and we can’t make up the word count.
However, today is different. There are two Taishi chairs on both sides of the main seat behind the desk. Is it possible that there will be three people trying Wang Busheng's case today? This shows the seriousness of Wang Busheng's case of beating up Japanese pirate friends.
Amidst the impolite pushing by the yamen servants, Wang Busheng staggered into the hall. In order to accommodate himself to the severe torture he suffered in the Penal Department Prison, Wang Busheng had to fall down several times while walking. Wang Busheng, who had no acting experience, was really He fell without any skills and was a little embarrassed. His clothes, which were not complete at first, had a lot of cracks. Wang Busheng was worried that he would be pushed a few times by the bad-tempered yamen servants. His first exposure in the Ming Empire was in full view of the public. under. Even if the naked king dies, you won’t be able to love him anymore.
Everyone performed their duties, and Wang Busheng was taken to the trial hall. The officer responsible for escorting him successfully completed his task and clocked out.
Wang Busheng, who has been in jail several times, also knows something about being jailed in this case. Talking less and watching more is the panacea for survival.
Wang Busui was very conscious that he should have his own seat in the middle of the hall. Wang Busui stood still, like an old monk in meditation, without squinting and counting sheep in his heart.
It was probably because of the lack of warmth in the unenclosed hall. It didn't matter if the prisoners froze to death, but it would be a crime to freeze the old men to death. So coal fires were lit in every corner. Although the effect is not great, it also brings a little warmth to this bone-chilling world.
It is not the tradition of the Ming Empire office to go to work on time. According to the winter schedule, the staff of the Ming Empire office should go to work at half past eight. If the weather is bad, they can postpone it for half an hour. If the weather is worse, then You can ask for leave today. It’s such a humane unit. No wonder everyone wants to squeeze in. They don’t hesitate to give money or gifts to themselves because of connections.
The weather is very good today, and it is also a great time to punish evil, promote good, and uphold justice. But unfortunately, Mr. Liu Wenzheng and Mr. Liu are late.
Before the clock struck half past eight, an official in Feiyu uniform walked out of the back room. He was walking like a dragon and carrying a golden sword. Well, the first person to appear was Hao Liande, the commander of the Imperial Guards, who was also the Royal Horse Supervisor. Eunuch, a scholar-turned-military officer, Hao Liande is not that domineering. If he is just looking at people, he is also a handsome uncle. If it is only for love and not for health, Hao Liande is still a good choice. He is a handsome uncle who loves people.
According to Zhu Xiluo's arrangement, Hao Liande was fortunate enough to be a juror in the case of Wang Busheng's beating of a Japanese pirate friend. Seeing that the other two people did not come, Hao Liande stepped forward and sat down on the Taishi chair on the right side of the main seat. Zuo Weizun, one person below Hao Liande, who is more than ten thousand people, is still very low-key.
On this occasion, no matter how many sheep were counted, they could not sleep. When a person appeared, Wang Bushu raised his head curiously. You must know that the person who heard his case was a senior official at the provincial and ministerial level. In later generations, not everyone will be treated like this. Wang Busui was very proud of being qualified, and was also a little curious about the senior officials who tried his case.
Raising his head, Wang Busheng saw a familiar face, a bad guy's face that had cost him all his savings, that nice gentleman.
"Good morning, sir." Unexpectedly, he could meet an acquaintance here. Wang Busui was very happy. There was someone who was easy to handle. His case might need Mr. Haohao to take action.
Wang Bushi wanted to go up and say hello, and by the way, he wanted to know whether his acquaintance was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, which was such an important official position.
Seeing Wang Busui greeting him, Hao Liande also responded happily. "Wang Bu Die, long time no see. Things have been going well lately. Well, okay, it seems not so good."
"Hit someone without slapping someone in the face, expose someone without exposing someone's shortcomings, yet ask even if you know it"!
"How dare you, who do you dare to talk to the commander like this?"
Well, there are always a few losers around bad guys, and the same goes for good people who are not kind in their work. As the commander of the Royal Guards, Hao Liande always has a few losers around him who bully his superiors. For example, this shouting person is also everyone An acquaintance of Qian Liexian, the one who owed Jingzhao Mansion tea money. Jinyiwei commanded thousands of households.
"Damn it, who are you? How dare you interrupt me to reminisce about old times with my eldest brother?" He is Zhu Wuju's master, Zhu Xiluo's cheap brother, and he doesn't care about the little bitch king.
"How dare the bold murderer speak such arrogant words?" As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Liexian drew his sword.
"Come on, come on, come on, I'm a top three martial arts master and I'm still afraid of you."
Hao Liande waved his hand and said, "Haha, Xiaoqian, it's okay. I have some friendship with this Wang Immortal."
"Yes, I was too eager to protect the Lord from my humble position. I was rude." Qian Liexian clasped his fists in apology, then turned to Wang Bushu, and bowed deeply, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, I have a short temper. Please forgive me if I'm rude. I'll forgive you later." Money is lined up and wine is put out to make amends."
Okay, this is a talent who has been in the officialdom. Look at his ability to flatter people and his smooth way of doing things. A clerk with less than three years of work experience will not have such skills.
"Um, Qian Liexian, sir, you call it Qian Liexian"
"Yes, brother has heard of me"
Your Ming Empire is indeed a strange country. Wang Busheng waved his hand, "Ha, no, I just thought of a friend of mine who died of prostatitis."
"Brother, there is no resurrection after death, please forgive me."
