There are many things in life that you can't help yourself with, and the same goes for short and stout people. He is just an ordinary foreign businessman, doing a small business with huge profits. He just wants to count his money safely and happily, and go to whiskey in his spare time. The big tavern found some of his fellow villagers to play sports and get familiar with the taste of his hometown. His wish in life was so simple.
But there are not so many things in this world that are satisfactory. To live in this world, you must abide by the rules of this world, whether they are in writing or not. The Ming Empire was also very tolerant towards businessmen. On the basis of abiding by the law, you can make money happily without paying taxes. Of course, if you want to do business simply and happily, you still need to have some necessary things, Yamen The leaders, the police officers responsible for public security, these are unspoken rules that are not written down.
After coming to Songjiang Prefecture for so many years, Duan Gaicou has always followed this principle, especially since Xie Xiangrong has been the prefect of Songjiang for several years. Magistrate Xie always chooses Su Zhai for all the banquets and favors. Due to the celebrity effect, Su Zhai has become a symbol of status. Every time he spends money on Su Zhai, he is rich and expensive. Therefore, Su Zhai makes a lot of money every day. , of course Xie Xiangrong also has many benefits.
Years of life experience tell me that businessmen only do business and should not participate in any power struggles. It wouldn't be nice for him to earn money safely and happily, but people cannot avoid taking sides in the world. Although he has not entered the officialdom of the Ming Empire and has no friends in the officialdom, there is a saying among the Han people that civil and military people have different paths. Literary men and military men It’s the relationship between Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian (in the author’s words, short and stubby should mean a combination of Ximen Qing and Wu Dalang. Wouldn’t it be very eye-catching for a scholar and a martial artist to happily lie on the same bed and play games)? Warriors are destined to be incompatible with fire and water. One of the two big bosses in Songjiang Prefecture is Xie Xiangrong, the prefect of Songjiang. It is not clear how much education he has, but he belongs to the civil service system. The British Gong Zhang Donkey, a founding figure and a representative of the martial arts system, which one Everyone cannot be offended by themselves.
As a businessman, Duan Aitu has already noticed the snacks that suddenly became popular in Songjiang Prefecture - sugar bean sesame balls and other snacks. Duan Aitu also had the idea of joining forces with Xie Xiangrong to take this cornucopia as his own, but after learning about these After discovering the power behind the snacks, Duan Gaitu decisively gave up. Ants and elephants are neither worthy of tickling others, but today under Xie Xiangrong's coercion and inducement, Duan Aitu had to make a choice. Duan Aitu knew that no matter what the outcome was, he would have no future. Songjiang Mansion no longer has a place for itself.
Duan Gaotou's heart ached, not because he was condemned by his conscience, but because he was frightened by the thought of his tragic fate in the future.
Hearing Duan Gaotou's assurance, Liu Wenzheng nodded and looked at Xie Xiaodong, "Continue your statement."
"Thank you sir, cough, sir, can you give me a drink of water?" The trial hall became his home court. He kept talking, and Xie Xiaodong was still a little dry. Think about those girls in the whiskey bar. Their mouths are not dry all night long. Is there any secret to the industry?
Well, I have a driver's license, so it's not illegal to drive.
Wang Busi couldn't refute, he was so angry that he was itching, "You're shameless, you still have the nerve to drink water, just pee to show that you are still a human being, and quench your thirst by the way."
Growth is looking directly at human nature countless times and then accepting it calmly. Don’t pay too much attention to everything. If you have a deep fate, you will gather together. If you have a shallow fate, let it go.
Liu Wenzheng was still very humane. After all, he was also a comrade from our side. He waved his hand, "Come here, give the plaintiff a bowl of water."
Because Xie Xiaodong brought a huge team of witnesses, all the government officials in the trial hall were pushed outside. Therefore, the task of pouring water fell on the clerk of the case, Hu Handa, the chief clerk of Songjiang Mansion. on the body.
He could never forget Xie Xiaodong's face as a bad guy. Hu Han hated evil and hated Xie Xiaodong's confusion of right and wrong. When adults give orders, you must obey them, even if you don't want to.
When I came to the kitchen, I picked up a bowl and filled it with water. I thought about it for a while, put a smile on my lips, looked around, and then lifted the hem.
Well, the male protagonist still has some face. For example, a certain supporting character who has only been released a few times faithfully fulfilled Wang Busheng's wishes. Of course, Hu Han had good intentions, but he was probably afraid that the taste would be too strong and Xie Xiaodong would be hard-pressed. After swallowing, Hu Han generously poured in half a bowl of sugar.
After a short break, several adults also picked up tea cups. Hu Handa came to Xie Xiaodong with a tea bowl, not hiding his disgust at "drinking tea".
Taking it happily, Xie Xiaodong said "Thank you, Sir" with a grateful expression on his face, and then took a sip happily. Then Xie Xiaodong smacked his lips and said, "Why does it have a strange smell? Could it be that my lack of taste has affected my sense of taste?"
I lowered my head and looked at the remaining tea in the bowl. It was dim in color and had white crystals remaining. Based on my years of experience in drinking tea, there should be no problem. The yellow liquid should be tea, and the white crystals should be white sugar. Put sugar in the tea. It is also a drinking method that has just emerged in recent months and is very popular among some dignitaries. Xie Xiaodong didn't think much and drank all the tea.
Looking at Xie Xiaodong with eager eyes, Hu Handa was worried that Xie Xiaodong would notice something strange. Hu Handa also regretted his impulsiveness, but when he saw Xie Xiaodong licking the bowl clean, he finally felt relieved.
"Sir, the common people can continue." Xie Xiaodong asked for instructions.
Liu Wenzheng put down his tea bowl and nodded.
"Thank you, sir." After savoring the bitter yet sweet tea, he continued, "Sir, it's a shame that ordinary people spend all day studying and have no power to restrain themselves. They can only watch my friend Kameda Shiba Taro being inhumane. He struggled to stand up again and again and was knocked down again and again. He didn't stop until Kameda Jutaro fell unconscious."
"Bah!" Okay, a familiar voice, a prop that has appeared many times, Liu Wenzheng suddenly became angry, "Bold maniac, do you know your crime? In broad daylight, in the clear sky, there is such a young man who has no law and no reason. Beat up my foreign friends."
"Cough cough cough" came the sound of coughing, and an old man's voice interrupted Liu Wenzheng. This person was Zhang Songhe, "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, I have something to say about the identity of the plaintiff."
"Oh, Mr. Zhang, could it be that there is something hidden about the plaintiff's identity?"
These are all things that have been discussed, and Liu Wenzheng naturally knows about it. However, Liu Wenzheng's performance is too exaggerated, such as his curious eyes, because the surprised and enlarged mouth is very inconsistent with the scene at this time. Professional actors will only be curious at this time. , had doubts about the identity of the plaintiff.
"Of course, this is also one of the reasons why I am here." After adjusting his body, it was his performance time. Zhang Songhe devoted himself wholeheartedly so that he could have the opportunity to develop in the entertainment industry in the future. I heard that people in the entertainment industry Girls like middle-aged handsome men the most, and they also want to live a more colorful life in their later years.
"Some time ago, the Ministry of Rites received complaints from some friends from other countries, saying that they were treated unfairly in the Ming Empire. They had to queue up to buy things, pay for meals, go to Baihua Building to spend money, and the girls sent by the boss were all other people. Used. This is disrespect and contempt for their foreign friends. They cannot accept this kind of treatment. After receiving the complaint, our etiquette department took the complaint very seriously and immediately sent someone to verify it, and to verify the truth. Those who were punished were severely punished. His Majesty also emphasized many times that the Ming Empire is a country of etiquette. All foreign friends are our friends and our family members. We should make them feel like returning home when they come to the Ming Empire. Warmth, feeling the enthusiasm of hundreds of millions of people in our Ming Empire,".
It was probably the first time he had given such a long speech. Zhang Songhe was a little dry, so he took a sip of water and continued, "You cannot take your orders. In order to properly fulfill the Holy Majesty's will, all members of my rites department have mobilized to protect our friends in the Ming Dynasty. Rights and interests, an officer from the Ministry of Rites accidentally discovered a vicious case in Songjiang Prefecture in which thugs beat up foreign friends for no reason. The officer took it very seriously and immediately ordered a thorough investigation. If you don’t investigate, you won’t know. When you investigate, you will be shocked. However, this person The innocent friend from Japan turned out to be a Japanese envoy sent by Emperor Soy Sauce."
Zhang Songhe paused deliberately, and then looked at Wang Busheng. A small fight turned into a major crime of beheading. You kid are still scared to death.
Well, okay, Zhang Songhe was disappointed. He had lived in a world where everyone was equal for more than thirty years. Wang Busheng said that whether he was beaten by ordinary people or wealthy officials, the crime was the same. Ordinary Japanese pirates became envoys. , what difference can the results make.
Hearing the identity of Kameda Jutaro, Hao Liande moved his fingers inadvertently, narrowed his eyes, and felt something bad in his heart.
Many uninformed onlookers did not care about Kameda Shiba Taro's change of identity, but Zhang Jinghui didn't think so. According to the "Da Ming Law", if a friend of the Han Dynasty was beaten with thirty sticks, he would be compensated with a thousand taels of compensation, and if Beating a friend of a foreign country with status will lead to different punishments depending on the status. Beating a foreign envoy is a major 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, while witnesses present They will also be punished, with twenty sticks and no fines. The results of a small change in identity are also vastly different.
"Oh, it turns out that Kameda Jutaro is still an envoy to the Japanese pirates," was the expected answer. Liu Wenzheng had a playful smile on his face. He looked at Zhang Songhe and then at Hao Liande, "Sir Zhang, Mr. Hao Lian, now that both witnesses and material evidence are available, I feel that there is no need to continue this case. Why don't you die?" It is true that the Japanese envoy was beaten and injured for no reason, so it is good to conclude the case."
Before Zhang Songhe could speak, Hao Liande said, "Mr. Liu, the plaintiff's statement has been completed. We don't care whether the testimony is true or false. According to the rules, the defendant also has the right to raise objections."
"Eunuch Hao Lian thinks it is necessary to continue the trial," Liu Wenzheng looked at Zhang Songhe meaningfully, and murmured in his heart, "You are such a damn eunuch. I usually see you getting close to those martial artists. It turns out you are really for them." Together".
Liu Wenzheng's plan was very simple. First, he should confirm the fact that Wang Bushit beat up the Japanese envoy and signed it. Then he would dig into the advantageous points of the case, such as whether the grandson of Zhen Guogong Qian Song, who was also present at the time, should be fined money. It didn't matter, Liu Wenzheng just wanted to see where the old man Qian Song's face would be when his grandson was spanked.
"Lord Liu, the Zajia think it is necessary." Beating a Japanese envoy is a serious crime. For such a major case, the Ming Empire also adopted an attitude of preferring to kill rather than let go. The position of the emperor is still unclear. If the case is really It's decided, tomorrow's sun will be an extravagant hope for Wang Immortality. Hao Liande had to stand up and for the first time actively stood on the opposite side of civil servants. It will be difficult to play happily together in the future. Since he gave up his first love, Then keep your current relationship and grow old together.
"People's subjective attitude is to retell the side that is beneficial to them. It doesn't matter whether the plaintiff's testimony is true or false, but there will inevitably be some concealment and exaggeration in it."
"Eunuch Hao Lian means that Xie Xiaodong's testimony is untrue." Liu Wenzheng's smile was restrained, and his tone was a bit unkind.
"Master Liu misunderstood," he said, "As a close minister of the emperor, I will be afraid of you, and Hao Liande did not show any weakness. "The Miscellaneous family just thinks that if you listen to others and believe in others, you will be negligent. Only by listening more can you better distinguish right from wrong."
