Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi are the kind of people who are looking for excitement when they are idle. Generally, thieves will not attack them. Now they have finally met a few of them and they want to show off. Who knows that they have not been able to fight without fighting? After enjoying themselves, Zhang Fei suddenly said that he would send these people to Kaifeng Mansion.
This aroused great interest in Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi. So, these two funny guys escorted Niu Beiqing, Feng Nanxi, and Longshan to Kaifeng Mansion with gongs and drums beating.
Relying on Cao Dongdong's identity, he knocked on the door of Kaifeng Mansion. ...It's already midnight.
Mr. Lu, who had already gone to bed, hurriedly got up and rushed to Kaifeng Mansion.
"What's going on?" Lu Gong looked anxiously and asked Huang Gui: "I heard that the historian has a new clue?" This incident was quickly politicized from the beginning, and brought together the contradictions between imperial power and ministerial power, and revolutionized and the conflict between the conservative factions.
These two major contradictions were the most acute contradictions in feudal society. It is inherently unsolvable. It's still here now.
This is another incident, and it has brought trouble to the Kaifeng Mansion. Lu Gongzhu will really go crazy. He had finally thrown this eucalyptus to Dali Temple before, wandering around, and returned to Kaifeng Mansion.
It’s so haunting! The current situation will get out of control if it is not handled properly. He was also extremely nervous and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
Huang Gui nodded and said: "Cao Yanei and Ma Xiaoyi just sent these three people, saying that these three people tried to steal Zhang San's sister-in-law."
"Stealing...stealing sister-in-law?" Mr. Lu didn't know why. Huang Gui said hurriedly: "That's what Cao Yameni said. After our questioning, it turned out that the names of these three people are Feng Nanxi, Niu Beiqing, and Longshan." Lu Gongzhu frowned and said: "These three names sound familiar!" Huang Gui said: " They are the ones who escorted the official silver with Shi Dalang."
"Yes, yes! I remembered it." Lu Gongzhu patted his forehead several times and asked again: "Didn't you say that they are all dead? Or are they really stealing the official silver?" At that time The verdict was dereliction of duty, but since no body was found, the government also retained the possibility of theft being committed.
Huang Gui shook his head and said, "Prefect, this case is not that simple." After saying that, he handed several confessions to Mr. Lu,
"This is their confession." After Lu Gong read it, he couldn't help but said angrily: "This is really unreasonable. Go and find Zhang Fei for me immediately."... On the fourth watch.
Zhang Fei came to Kaifeng Mansion. At this time, Li Kai also rushed to Kaifeng Mansion.
"Young people have met Li Tongpan, Magistrate Lu."
"...!" Mr. Lu and Li Kai both looked at Zhang Fei without saying a word. Zhang Fei remained silent.
Lu Gongzhu suddenly lost his momentum and sighed: "Zhang San, Zhang San, you have really worked hard to tease such a big circle, but you still want to help them redress their injustice!" Zhang Fei pretended to be confused and said: "Little people I don’t know what the prefect is talking about?” Li Kai snorted: “That Longshan is the groom you were going to from Baifanlou. Your wife and Shi Erlang both know him, don’t you know?” Zhang Fei said with an ouch: “ I asked why Na Longshan left as soon as Shi Erlang came to my house. So that’s what happened! It’s so dangerous! It’s so dangerous!” Is this his acting skills?
Li Kai can't even watch anymore. The lazy government servant at the door has an acting skill ten thousand times better than his! How can Mr. Lu believe it? You have so many loopholes. He doesn’t believe that Zhang Fei used all his rigor in litigation.
"It seems that you don't want to say it anymore." Zhang Fei said: "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I don't know where to start. I also want to know the truth." Mr. Lu nodded and said, "Since you don't If you are willing to say it, then go back!"
"Xiao Min, please retire." After Zhang Fei left, Li Kai couldn't help but said: "It seems that we wrongly blamed him before. It turns out that he is not here to cause trouble for us, but to help us lighten our burden." This bureau arranged It is full of loopholes, and I obviously want to tell them that this is not a conspiracy, this is the condition, and I only want the truth.
If you don't give me justice, then I will never be done with you. Anyway, I am just a shitty citizen, and the worst case scenario is that I will die.
That's different for you. However, Lu Gongzhu sighed: "Then Wang Jiefu is right, many problems have reached the point where they have to be dealt with." Why did Zhang Fei make such a simple case so complicated? He, Lu Gongzhu, was confused in his heart. Everyone needs to know it!
If there wasn't such a fuss, would Kaifeng Mansion take it so seriously? Won't. This is definitely systemic robbery. If this law is not changed, it will be difficult for the government to judge.
But it's different now. That night, the Kaifeng Mansion ordered people to arrest and interrogate the Cao officials who were escorting the official money on this trip.
And at dawn, the news was spread throughout the city. For the court officials, they did not feel that this was an extraneous problem, but instead felt that it was another village with a bright future and a bright future!
This lawsuit has been going on till now, coupled with the emperor's stance, it is already very unfavorable to them at the political level. How can they get off this stage if they can't get over it even if they lose face?
If at this time, they can quickly return to criminal matters, it will of course be very beneficial to them!
The key point is that they are not stupid, Zhang Fei clearly wants to intimidate them. You should have told me earlier! Why is it so big?
Don’t you just want the truth? Don’t you just want a magistrate? Are you going to break the truth? Therefore, all the ministers in the DPRK behaved with righteous indignation and awe-inspiring justice.
Investigate strictly! Must be strictly investigated! It must be checked clearly and clearly. Never let a bad guy go.
They really have the same hatred and hatred! They have only one request, that this be ended as soon as possible. For such a small man, he actually had the support of the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, so the Kaifeng Mansion naturally had a free hand.
Who dares to stop? The arrogant transportation department? The transshipment envoy immediately took the initiative to apologize. You should know that the results have not been found yet.
After some severe torture, all the magistrates were recruited. A total of five officials were involved in this case, and the main culprits were Chen Jing, the judge of the Du branch, Liu Shang, the warehouse manager of Sinong Temple, and three junior officials of the Transportation Department.
Kaifeng Mansion.
"When our people rushed there, they had all hanged themselves." Huang Gui said to Lu Gong.
Lu Gongzhu was surprised and asked: "So fast?" Huang Gui said nothing and just nodded. Lu Gongzhu frowned again and asked, "Are you sure it was suicide?" Huang Gui nodded and said, "Wu Zuo has checked it and it's all confirmed." Lu Gongzhu looked solemnly at the five bodies in front of him that were covered with white cloth. After a while, he couldn't help but sigh: "If Zhang Fei hadn't sued the court first, this case would have been difficult to break!"... Chui Gong Hall.
"Five thousand taels! Five thousand taels can make my ministers seek wealth and murder. What use do I need from you?" Zhao Xu threw the memorial from Kaifeng Mansion down and became furious in the palace.
This was really not an act, he was really angry. The imperial court's frequent confiscation of homes was already excessive, but there were still laws to follow. Doing so would prevent the government officials from stealing from others, but this law had side effects.
But the truth is that some people used other methods to confiscate the servants' property to enrich their own pockets. Tang Jie and other ministers from relevant departments immediately stood up and apologized.
This made them all feel angry and ashamed. Too much. Wang Anshi suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about why this little judge and a warehouse official dare to disregard human life?" Zhao Xu immediately asked: "What do you think?" Wang Anshi said: "My lord, It is a bad law to think that everything is for this reason. Those corrupt officials know very well that the court usually does not investigate such cases. After all, the court also benefits from it, so they dare to do evil. The source of this evil does not lie in people, but in It depends on the law, so the court's severe punishment cannot prevent this matter. In my opinion, only by promoting the advantages and eliminating the disadvantages and reforming the law can future troubles be permanently eliminated." Lu Gongzhu immediately stood up and said: "I second my opinion." Wang Anshi's The statement was the same as what he thought.
Because for the court, only by convicting those government officials could they confiscate property and ensure that they did not suffer losses, the court would not strictly investigate such cases.
Chen Shengzhi and many other officials also came forward to support Wang Anshi. This incident has indeed made many people angry, and they all feel that it is time to change everything.
If this continues, it will be okay. Zhao Xu suddenly glanced at Sima Guang. Sima Guang had no choice but to stand up and express his support for the reform.
In fact, this was not contrary to his wishes. He did not explicitly support Wang Anshi's reforms. Many ministers stood up again and expressed their support for reforming the labor law.
Zhao Xu glanced at him: "In my opinion, even if the real culprit is severely punished, it will be difficult to calm the public resentment, so... Magistrate Lu." Lu Gongzhu immediately stood up and said,
"I'm here." Zhao Xu said: "After the Kaifeng Mansion has heard this case, it must announce it to the world, saying that the court will reform the service law within this year." The little emperor also has some tricks, which is obviously a precaution. To prevent them from defaulting on their debt, let’s announce it first.
Lu Gong wrote: "I obey my order." The ministers shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!" Among them were conservative backbones such as Tang Jie and Lu Hui.
In fact, what they are fighting over is not whether to reform, but how to reform. After all, the emperor had not yet finished the matter. He announced the launch of Wang Anshi's reform on the spot, but there was still room for maneuver.
But everyone knew in their hearts that the emperor must initiate Wang Anshi's reform. If you want to fight, you have to fight at that time.
...As for this case, the trial was almost the same. The mastermind and accomplices all committed suicide out of fear of guilt. Now it is up to see whether Zhang Fei admits the result.
After all, Zhang Fei's beating was not a criminal offense, but the ancestral method. So Lu Gongzhu summoned Zhang Fei to Kaifeng Mansion again and showed him the results of the trial.
After Zhang Fei read it, he asked: "Are they really the masterminds?" Lu Gongzhu sighed and said: "To tell you the truth, I am not sure, maybe, maybe not, I have also I had doubts, but the clues have indeed ended with the five of them." He didn't dare to hide it from Zhang Fei, who knew how many clues this kid had.
Zhang Fei hesitated and said nothing. Mr. Lu remained silent. He knew that Zhang Fei would probably agree. Because it is impossible for the court to recognize what he said
"The method of the ancestors", if the lawsuit continues, although it will not be lost, it is impossible to win. Kaifeng Mansion has also tried its best, and it will be very difficult to continue the investigation.
Zhang Fei saw that Mr. Lu remained silent until death, and knew that he had no conditions to negotiate with, so he nodded and agreed.
