There are three Han Lingkun brothers. Han Lingjun is the second eldest and the head of the Ministry of Officials and Military Affairs. He is considered to be the highest ranking Han family in Beijing. After learning that his nephew had committed a crime, his first reaction was shock, and his second reaction was anger. When he learned the cause of the incident and that the person who was killed was Chang Kan, he became frightened.
If the matter is serious, if it is an ordinary person, if he uses some tricks and spends some money, it is possible that the matter will become a big deal. However, it is a person who cannot be kind.
After calming down, Han Lingjun didn't even go to Luoyang Prison. Instead, he came directly to Rongguo Duke's Mansion to meet Zhao Kuangyin. In this situation, except Zhao Kuangyin, he couldn't think of anyone else who could lend a helping hand to ease the matter. What reassured him a little was that Zhao Kuangyin did not avoid seeing him.
In the hall of Duke Rong's palace, the maid served hot tea. Zhao Kuangyin sat seriously and stretched out his hand to signal Han Lingjun: "Have tea and calm down!"
At this time, Han Lingjun could not be in the mood to enjoy tea. As soon as his butt fell down, he couldn't help but stand up and said with cupped hands: "Rong Gong, the matter has come to this and is irreversible. Although my nephew is young, although he is unworthy, I hope to lend a helping hand to save him." Saburo lives!"
"Sanlang is also my nephew. If something happens to him, I won't sit idly by and ignore it!" After hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin first gave a positive attitude.
However, the next words still made Han Lingjun feel a little nervous: "I already know about this matter, it is very troublesome! He is also ridiculous. If he fights and hurts people, there is room for recovery. Now, in public, he uses sharp weapons to kill people. , it’s easier said than done to clean it up!”
Seeing Zhao Kuangyin's expression of embarrassment, Han Lingjun, who had just taken his seat, stood up again and said anxiously: "My brother passed away early. He is the only one left in his lineage. I hope he will have mercy on him and not let him die!"
Hearing what he said, Zhao Kuangyin's resolute face showed a little bit of emotion. He stood up and helped Han Lingjun up: "I know! I know! How can I bear it if De is obedient?"
Han Lingkun still gave birth to many children. However, among the three sons, only Han Qingxiong grew up smoothly. He was equivalent to an only son and was loved by thousands of people. Otherwise, it would not be his turn to inherit the title.
"What's the attitude of Luoyang Mansion!" Zhao Kuangyin asked.
Han Lingjun replied: "Temporarily put him in jail, and he will be tried in court tomorrow! The Yin of Murong Mansion is strict, and Mr. Li of the Criminal Department is unapproachable. If he goes to court and is punished, he will probably die!"
"You go back home first. I have my own thoughts on this matter and will find a way!" Zhao Kuangyin took a deep breath and said to Han Lingjun as calmly as possible.
Unable to get a positive answer, Han Lingjun was a little unwilling and wanted to persuade him, but Zhao Kuangyin glared at him and he did not dare to say any more.
Sighing, Zhao Kuangyin tried his best to say in a comforting tone: "Although Han Deshun passed away unfortunately, Zhao Kuangyin is still here. I have had a friendship with him for decades. Even if you don't tell me, I will not sit back and watch this matter. .You can go back home temporarily and let me think about it. Remember, don’t make too many moves!”
"Yes!" Han Lingjun was helpless, lamented, and said goodbye.
After Han Lingjun left, Zhao Kuangyin could no longer keep a straight face and smashed the table with all his strength. He couldn't restrain his anger in his voice: "How dare this fool come from!"
At this time, a young boy came out and saluted Zhao Kuangyin: "Dad!"
The visitor was Zhao Dezhao, Zhao Kuangyin's second son. Although he was young, he was calm, restrained and well-educated, and was very popular with Zhao Kuangyin. Seeing his son, Zhao Kuangyin motioned for him to sit with him, and then sighed: "The Han family also has uneven upper beams and uneven lower beams!"
The word "Shang Liang" in Zhao Kuangyin's words certainly does not refer to Han Lingkun, but to his father Han Lun. In his early years, as the father of meritorious deeds, he lived in Luoyang. Like Chai Rong's father Chai Shouli, he was the kind of ostentatious and mischievous person who recruited Han family. A lot of darkness.
This was what Zhao Kuangyin didn't like. Now that Han Qingxiong had committed a crime, it naturally made him unhappy and angry. He felt that the Han family was unfortunate.
Looking at his father, Zhao Dezhao couldn't help but said: "Dad, now that Uncle Han has taken the initiative to come to our house and you have agreed, can this matter be resolved?"
"Good? How good!" When mentioning this, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but lose his temper: "Not to mention other things, the Chang family's legitimate son died, how could they be willing to give up? Don't want revenge? Can they not let Sanlang of the Han family pay for it with his life? Even if the two sides can compromise privately, in a serious case involving human life, are the court's laws and the Han Dynasty's criminal system just a decoration?
The Luoyang government has taken over the matter and the person is already in prison. Can the matter be minor? I'm afraid that now that everyone is watching this matter, and it has reached His Majesty's ears, how can you think you can do better? "
Hearing this, Zhao Dezhao was silent for a moment and hesitated: "Is the matter so serious?"
"It's killing people!" Zhao Kuangyin suppressed his anger: "Over the years, no one's life has been easily taken away. The Ministry of Punishments accepted it and Dali reviewed it. Every case was approved by His Majesty, which shows that he attaches great importance to it.
This is true for the common people, and it is about human lives, but what about you, the disciples of Gaoliang? I'm worried that not only will His Majesty not let this matter go easily, but he will also set this matter as a model to serve as a warning to others. In the past few years, the descendants of the nobles in the two capitals have acted impetuously and recklessly, and His Majesty has long been dissatisfied! "
"If this is the case, wouldn't it be dangerous for Sanlang of the Han family?" A look of solemnity flashed across Zhao Dezhao's face.
Zhao Kuangyin took a sip of tea and said with certainty: "If the matter is judged and punished normally, as Han Lingjun said, it is very likely that he will be sentenced to death in court!"
"Murong Prefecture Yin is not a hard-hearted person, but he can't be merciful?" Zhao Dezhao asked: "That guy Chang Kan also knows that he can't forgive others and is extremely mean. If he hadn't hurt others with his harsh words, Han Sanlang would be so reckless. How can you kill him in anger?"
"No matter what, it is an indisputable fact that he killed someone. He violated the national law. According to the law, he must pay with his life!" Zhao Kuangyin said: "Furthermore, even if Murong Fu Yin showed mercy and reported it to the Ministry of Punishment, how could Uncle Li Guo easily Let him go? Chang Kan is still one of his subordinates. Furthermore, if there is a slight bend in the law for personal gain, wouldn't it be true and the Chang family would not be able to cause trouble? If that is the case, things will be even more out of control! "
Hearing this, Zhao Dezhao couldn't help but sigh, looked at his father, and asked: "It's a dead end. You promised Uncle Han to try to save people, but how should you do it?"
"We must do something before Luoyang Mansion imposes a penalty!" Zhao Kuangyin said.
Facing Zhao Dezhao's gaze, Zhao Kuangyin said helplessly: "It's useless to approach anyone except Your Majesty for this matter. Only Your Majesty can suppress the dissatisfaction of the Chang family? I don't know if my father's old face can make Your Majesty lawless." show mercy?"
Hearing this, Zhao Dezhao thought for a while and said: "Father, your Majesty is strict in governing the law and is rarely merciful. Are you asking for help? Will it offend Your Majesty?"
In this regard, Zhao Kuangyin was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "No matter what, you must do something and reduce the punishment. Even if you become a commoner and work as a coolie, at least you can leave a bloodline for your Uncle Han." ah!"
In response to this matter, Zhao Kuangyin had a decision in his heart from the moment he learned about it and had to intervene. Even if we don't mention the close relationship between him and Han Lingkun, this still represents an issue of political attitude. No matter it is right or wrong, if something happens to the Han family, he has to express something, otherwise no one will be able to gather under his banner.
Even though Zhao Kuangyin knew very well that in such an unreasonable situation, he was taking political risks. Offending the Chang family, or even the Guo family, is not a big problem, as long as it arouses Emperor Liu's resentment.
"You and Defang, please be more honest from now on, study hard and practice martial arts, and don't go out to cause trouble!" Zhao Kuangyin suddenly scolded Zhao Dezhao again.
"yes!"
