Chapter 722: The Way of Being an Official
Lin Haoran wanted to reveal his identity, and then changed into an official uniform and sat majestically on this court, and then incarnated as justice to bring all these three people who reversed right and wrong to justice.
It's just that in this Ming officialdom, there are some rules that have to be honestly followed, and he is not the prefect of Guangzhou after all.
Even if this is a matter of extreme excesses, he can raise objections or wait until next month when he takes office. But now it is not possible to directly give orders, let alone punish these three people now.
Taking 10,000 steps back, he thinks that the county government and the government cannot administer justice, and there are still judges and prosecutors above.
Lin Haoran wants to go further in his career and go more smoothly, but he can't "get out of the group" like Hai Rui, and he needs the kind of art of being an official with a degree of relaxation.
After coughing lightly, he said lightly to Sun Xiucai: "Sun Xiucai, who is lying, it can't be judged by the level of fame!" Regarding the authenticity of this matter, who committed perjury, this official can confront you on the spot! ”
This officer?
When he heard this self-title, Sun Xiucai's last trace of luck was gone, and the whole person seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar. But I don't know if my feet are weak, or I want to retreat and lose my center of gravity, and the whole person falls to the ground.
In order to curry favor with this Diao Gongzi, and for the sake of multiple backers in his future career, he promised to help Diao Gongzi commit perjury. But I never thought that I was going to slander the new prefect, which was simply asking for my own death.
Even if he committed perjury this time to avoid jail time, then he offended the big man. His fame will definitely be taken away by the superintendent, and he will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination again, and his life will be completely finished.
Lin Haoran ignored Sun Xiucai, who was sitting on the ground, his eyes fell on Diao Qingsheng again, and he still said coldly: "Diao Gongzi, you said that this official and this shopkeeper robbed you, you have to come up with human and physical evidence for this matter, otherwise you won't be able to escape from the crime of false accusation!" ”
"This ......"
Diao Qingsheng faced Lin Haoran's lofty eyes, and deeply felt a kind of fear, so frightened that his eyes overflowed with tears.
Not to mention that Sun Xiucai can't bear it, and the matter can't stand up to evidence, saying that the new Guangzhou prefect conspired with others to rob him of his money, who would believe it?
Once the crime of false accusation is implemented, his father has a good relationship with the patrol press Xu Ji, but the patrol press Xu Ji was severely cleaned up by this Lin Lei Gong last year, but he didn't think that this Lin Lei Guild would easily spare him.
Lin Haoran's gaze fell on Zhang Xiancheng, who was more ugly than crying, and finally said with disgust: "Zhang Xiancheng, this official has not yet taken office, this time he is in court as a defendant, you should sit on it and try the case!" ”
From the time Zhang Xiancheng walked into the lobby to the present, not only has his butt not touched the chair, but he has even been bowing his waist, where is there any majesty of the county Cheng, how can this kind of person be able to uphold justice for the people?
Verdict?
Zhang Xiancheng wants to cry, how can this be adjudicated? Could it be that the incoming Lord Fuzun wants to ransack Diao Gongzi and send him to the county jail, but can the county jail hold this big Buddha?
"Lord Lin, this is a joke that my little nephew played with you! I withdraw the lawsuit! I withdraw the lawsuit! Diao Gongzi was born in a family of eunuchs, and he also developed the ability to adapt to changes, so he immediately smiled and said.
Although he is older than Lin Haoran, he calls himself "little nephew" very easily, which shows that he is a person who can bend and stretch.
As he spoke, he also glanced at Zhang Xiancheng and made a gesture.
Zhang Xiancheng comprehended and avoided the embarrassment of Diao Gongzi's cold scene, and immediately reprimanded with a cold face: "Diao Gongzi, you are making a big joke!" You can drop the lawsuit, but you can't get rid of the crime of falsely accusing Lord Lin! ”
As he spoke, he exchanged glances with Diao Gongzi, and then bowed his hand to Lin Haoran flatteringly: "Lord Futai, how do you think this crime of false accusation should be punished?" ”
The two of them sang and harmonized, and the stage had been set up, and they waited for Lin Haoran to get off the donkey down the slope, and at the same time, the whip of punishment was also handed over to him. Of course, the premise is that Diao Qingsheng can't really be put to death, otherwise Zhang Xiancheng would not have the courage to make a judgment.
Lin Haoran's brows furrowed slightly, and before going to Guangzhou City, he set a "low-key" tone for himself.
After all, the situation in Guangzhou City is different from Leizhou City, and there are three divisions and procuratorates above the Guangzhou Mansion, and there is even a governor of Liangguang. But he is not allowed to cover the sky with one hand in Guangzhou City, and he needs that kind of relaxed and moderate means to reconcile the relations between all parties, otherwise he will most likely become a rake for attacks by all parties.
Now, Diao Qingsheng is planted in his hands, and it is destined that many officials will stare at this matter, and may weigh his temperament from this matter: whether his eyes can't tolerate half a grain of sand, or whether he knows how to leave a line for people in life and work.
After weighing it, Lin Haoran chose the latter, and said lightly: "Zhang Xiancheng, now you are sitting in court to try the case, and the sentencing is determined by you in accordance with the law, what do you ask this official to do?" ”
"It's a gaffe! The lower official lost his words! ”
Zhang Xiancheng apologized again and again, and at the same time, half of his hanging heart was relaxed. Now that he has completed the verdict, he has submitted it to the government office, and then submitted it to the criminal department through the judge, and the case has been decided.
Zhang Xiancheng's waist stood up for the first time, and he pronounced the sentence in front of Diao Gongzi with righteousness and awe: "Diao Gongzi, you committed the crime of false accusation, do you deny the crime?" ”
"I plead guilty!" Diao Gongzi knows that it is impossible to get out of the body at the moment, at least not now, he will definitely give this Lin Lei Gong a breath of relief, and even more so give Lin Lei Gong some face.
"Remember that you are a first-time offender and have a good attitude to admit your guilt! The county pronounced a sentence, thirty rods, and half a year in prison! Zhang Xiancheng said majestically, and finally glanced at Lin Haoran with a weak heart.
This does not seem to be a light punishment, but Diao Gongzi's crime of false accusation needs to be reversed. Once investigated, although the punishment for daylight robbery will be lighter, it will also require exile.
Lin Haoran sighed secretly in his heart, this is undoubtedly sparing this Diao Gongzi, which is not a bad result.
The people in the hall felt that it was acceptable, after all, it was already an unprecedented good thing to imprison these four evil youths for half a year. As for Huang Mi, his heart is even more stable, not only has he washed away his grievances, but he has also been punished.
"Come on, give Diao Gongzi thirty rods, and then put him in prison!"
Zhang Xiancheng looked at Lin Haoran and did not raise any objections, and his hanging heart finally let go. This time, he did not offend the new prefect, but also succeeded in keeping Diao Gongzi, presumably Diao Tongzhi will remember his merits.
Diao Qingsheng sighed lightly, and knew that he had escaped, but thinking that he would have to sit for half a year, it was difficult to be happy in his heart.
I thought it was over, but Hu Niu was undoubtedly an extremely unstable factor, pointing at Diao Qingsheng and reminding crisply: "Wait! What about his captivity? This thing can't be left alone! ”
According to the original script, things were tacitly confused, after all, this is an era of "the people do not lift, and the officials do not hold accountable". didn't expect that when everyone chose to pretend to be drunk, a sober little girl jumped out.
When Zhang Xiancheng and Diao Gongzi heard this, their hanging hearts rose again.
Once this matter is investigated, Diao Gongzi will be guilty. This act of captivity, combined with his previous deeds, made the exile a light one.
Lin Haoran turned his head to look at the wild girl in his house, and found that it was really not strange to bring this wild girl out, and his eyes really couldn't tolerate half-crying sand.
"Oops! My head! ”
Zhang Xiancheng had an idea, suddenly screamed exaggeratedly, and then covered his head and fell to the ground, rolled his eyes and "fainted".
With such clumsy acting skills, let alone Lin Haoran, even the people in the hall can't be deceived. It's just that I have to admit that for Zhang Xiancheng, this is undoubtedly the best way to resolve the deadlock.
But at this moment, a catcher hurriedly ran in, his face looking very flustered.
Lin Haoran looked at this panicked look, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he asked in a deep voice, "What happened?" ”
The quick catcher's face was embarrassed, and a servant immediately scolded: "Zhao Liu, let go of a fart, this is the new Lord Fuzun!" ”
Hearing that it was Lord Fuzun, Zhao Liu was stunned for a moment, this was not the prisoner who was escorted back just now, but he still honestly arched his hand and said: "Lord Qiyu Fuzun, there was a murder on the other side of the third lane, and Huang Mi's lady ......!" ”
"Diao Qingsheng, what did you do again?"
Lin Haoran suddenly came back to his senses, just now the group of them were escorted to the yamen together, but at the entrance of the alley, they suddenly put the lady of yellow rice back, and suddenly smelled a smell of conspiracy, and a ball of fire rose in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and asked Diao Qingsheng.
