The content of the complaint is actually very clear, and the people did sue Lin Haoran for accepting a bribe of 500 taels. If this is the case, then the matter could not be simpler, and Lin Haoran would be immediately handed over to Dali Temple for interrogation.

A small Zhengsanpin Shuntianfu Yin embezzled five hundred taels of silver, and it was known all over the city, and he only needed to be disposed of, and he could give a good explanation to the people of the capital.

Obviously, it can't be that simple, because there is a bigger point of contention here.

"Huang Langzhong threatened with prescriptions to force married women to submit, which was extremely hateful. Mrs. Zhang is willing to burn charcoal to die in order to protect her daughter-in-law Liu's chastity, which is a model in the world. However, Mrs. Zhang's death was caused by Huang Langzhong, and Feng Neng exiled him, so please kill this thief and govern Lin Mansion Yin to accept 500 taels of silver from Huang Langzhong, and indulge Huang Langzhong for the crime of indulgence. ”

In this complaint, although Lin Haoran was accused of accepting bribes, he mainly accused Huang Langzhong of being too lenient, believing that he escaped the death penalty by using 500 taels of silver.

This......

Huang Jin read the content of this complaint, coupled with the dense finger prints behind it, and the surprise in his heart was like a monstrous wave, which could not be calmed down for a long time.

The civilian officials led by Gao Yao attacked Lin Haoran for being "too young to be useful", and the case of Huang Langzhong was "too heavy", and this matter is about to be closed. But who would have thought that the people of Beijing would attack Lin Haoran for accepting bribes, but in the case of Huang Langzhong, the sentence was "too light".

On the one hand, the civil officials led by Gao Yao attacked Lin Haoran for "over-sentencing", and on the other hand, the people in the capital accused Lin Haoran of accepting bribes and "sentencing Huang Langzhong too lightly".

It is no wonder that the saint just sighed that "it is difficult to be an official", and he dared to "sympathize" with Lin Haoran.

It would be nice if we could make a clear and accurate conclusion on this case, but both sides have their own reasons, and this case is full of controversy, and I am afraid that the Holy One does not know which side to favor.

One thing is certain, though. After such a fuss from the people of the capital, it is no longer possible to put all the blame on Lin Haoran, at least Lin Haoran's crime cannot be punished because of this case.

"Huang Jin, in your opinion, how should this case be judged?"

Jiajing didn't get upset because of this, but felt very interesting, the whole person who had just taken the pill was in a state of excitement, so he turned his head to look at Huang Jin and asked.

Huang Jin cried with a sad face, raised his head and replied: "Master, this case is too difficult, and the slave doesn't know how to judge!" ”

In fact, he didn't really think about it at all. No matter which side he prefers, he will offend people, and "not choosing" is the best way and the law of his survival.

Jiajing shook his head gently, knowing that Huang Jin was this kind of fearful character, but he didn't mean to blame, and suddenly found Feng Bao staring at this side with a puzzled face, his heart suddenly moved, and he asked Feng Bao again: "Feng Bao, how do you think it should be judged?" ”

Feng Bao was suddenly asked by Jiajing, and he was a little caught off guard, and the whole person was directly blindfolded. From beginning to end, he didn't know the content of the complaint, let alone what case Jiajing was asking about.

But he didn't know that in order to make up for the "bullying the small with the big" just now, or to fulfill the responsibility of a minion, Chen Hong immediately said the content of the complaint concisely.

On the one hand, Gao Yao, Yan Ne and other officials are innocent of Huang Langzhong, and on the other hand, the people in the capital are strongly willing to kill Huang Langzhong, which is undoubtedly a small problem.

Huang Jin secretly gave Feng Bao a look, wanting him to be as wise as he was.

Chen Hong was well aware of the complexity of this case, and knew that Feng Bao, this kid, would definitely not have any satisfactory answer to the saint, so he had already considered how the saint asked him how to answer.

Feng Bao thought for a while, but replied seriously: "The sage has clouds: only the benevolent can be a good person, and the evil can be a bad person." Although the sin of Huang Langzhong cannot be cured according to the code, the evil of Huang Langzhong is known to the benevolent, and there is no reason to cure it? ”

Feng Bao is only 19 years old, and he belongs to the type of young and ambitious in the internal prison. His skin is fair, his eyebrows are thick, his facial features are upright, and he writes good calligraphy, and he is resolutely a talented person in the inner prison.

When he said this, it was not like the conversation of a young eunuch, but more like a talented man who had read the scriptures to answer. And the point he makes is refreshing.

Especially in this era, the status of "Da Ming Law" is far from being comparable to the words of the sage, and this alone makes Feng Bao "more skilled".

Chen Hong, who was thinking about how to answer, turned his head to look at Feng Bao in shock when he heard this. If it weren't for the fact that this person was too young and had extremely shallow qualifications, he would have listed Feng Bao as his threat.

"Huh...... Only the benevolent can be a good person, and a wicked person can be a wicked person! Feng Bao, what you said offended Gao Yao, Yan Ne and others! Jiajing had a good impression of Feng Bao, but said with a smile.

Confucius believed that unkind people are mostly blinded by selfish desires, and the good and evil in their eyes are not really good and evil. Only a person with a benevolent heart will not be affected by these selfish desires, be able to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, and evaluate others fairly and fairly.

Feng Bao's heart was relieved, and he hurriedly explained: "The minions are not saying that Gao Yao, Yan Ne and others are not benevolent, but they adhere to the law of the Ming Dynasty too much, but they forget the words of the saints, forget whether Huang Langzhong is good or evil, and forget that the local government should punish evil and promote good......"

"Feng Bao, you should be cautious, have you forgotten the precepts of Taizu?" Huang Jin's face was slightly cold, and he suddenly interrupted him.

Feng Bao was immediately shocked, knowing the power of his godfather Huang Jin, and understanding that this line was indeed not to be stepped on, he immediately begged for mercy: "The slave lost his words, please punish the emperor!" ”

Jiajing suddenly lost interest, but it was not good to blame the loyal Huang Jinduo, after all, the eunuch's inability to interfere in politics was a minefield that he repeatedly stated.

He is a very assertive person, so naturally he will not change his original intention because of Feng Bao's few words, and he turned his head to Chen Hong and commanded decisively: "Lin Wenkui accepted a bribe of five hundred silver, you send someone to check to see if this is a frame-up, or if it is true!" ”

With the death of the loyal Lu Shan, he now relies more on Dongchang and prefers to leave private matters to Chen Hong.

Although he didn't think that Lin Haoran would destroy his future for five hundred taels, he didn't take corruption too seriously. It's just that this matter has caused a storm in the city, if Lin Haoran is really greedy for five hundred taels of ink, then he will definitely punish Lin Haoran severely.

"Slaves obey!"

Chen Hong's eyes immediately lit up, and he saluted respectfully.
