Kaifeng Prefecture Patrol Procuratorate.

In the official hall, Zeng Qianheng, the inspector of the imperial history, was frowning and pacing left and right.

The staff said: "Dong Weng, right now, the Guide Zhao family and several households jointly implore Dong Weng to retry the case of the Guide Mansion to try cheating. ”

"And this is a letter from Lord Zhao of the Nanzhili Rite Department."

Zeng Qianheng leaned on the official hat chair, thinking that he and this Lord Zhao were both Jinshi in the fifth year of Wanli, and the two had a friendship and could not be ignored, so he waved his hand and asked the staff on the side to take the letter and read it to him.

After reading the letter, the staff said: "Lord Zhao's intention is to ask Dong Weng Nian to preside over the case of the Guide Mansion Cheating Case in the same year. ”

Zeng Qianheng said: "This case is indeed that Lin Sanyuan has been wronged, and he is not a gentleman if he has revenge, which is understandable." But Lin Sanyuan actually turned this into a big case and implicated so many people, obviously some of them were communiqué personal vendettas. ”

"The case was not handled in this way, it has to be forgiving and forgiving, and I don't approve of being implicated too widely, no matter how reasonable Lin Sanyuan's move is, he is also suspected of fabricating charges."

"Dong Weng, are we ......?"

Zeng Qianheng stood up and interrupted: "According to the imperial court's decree, to impeach the officials of the prefecture and county, you must first go to the court to file a complaint. ”

The staff said: "I sued, I heard that the case was sent back to the new deputy envoy of the sub-patrol Liang Daocheng." ”

Zeng Qianheng shook his head and said, "Confused, how can you vote for the patrol road?" Deputy Envoy Cheng is a fourth-grade person, on the same level as Lin Sanyuan, of course, he can't be tried, and he doesn't dare to interrogate him. If it were me, the case of the Zhao family should be directly handed over to the Henan Provincial Prosecutor of Kaifeng Mansion, and Yang Zhentai would ask in person. ”

The staff said: "How did Dong Weng forget, he had to be whipped fifty times if he overstepped the level of lawsuit, Lin Sanyuan was the prefect, and no matter how good the Zhao family was, he was also a common person, and the people sued the officials, and they had to be prosecuted at each level." If the patrol road is not connected, it can be re-commissioned. ”

Zeng Qianheng pinched his beard and said, "I forgot about this matter." Did the Zhao family vote for Yang Zhentai? ”

"Voted. I heard that when the drum was beaten, the drum keeper told the complainant that it was okay to accept the complaint, but the civil prosecutor had to suffer thirty battles first, and the man was also stubborn and endured. ”

Zeng Qianheng said: "If the people sue the official, it is to toss the government, how can there be nothing at all." If you get a board, it means that the case has been accepted by the judge. Yang Zhentai also acted according to the rules, although this person was a little broad, but the case was still unambiguous. ”

"Then Dong Weng, should we also send a letter to the judge to ask?"

Zeng Qianheng stretched out his hand and said, "No." Regarding the matter of Guide Mansion, I don't want to touch it at all, this is a lesson from the past. ”

A few days later.

The mansion of the Zhao family in Kaifeng Mansion.

Like many Henan scholars, some people in the family have won the meritorious examination, won the promotion of people, or become officials, such families will generally buy a house in Kaifeng Mansion.

For the Zhao family, their mansion in Kaifeng Mansion, except for the palace, can be ranked in the top five in terms of magnanimity.

It stands to reason that the biggest official of the Zhao family is no more than a member of the Ministry of Rites in Nanzhi, and the official is not big. However, this person previously served as a member of the Nanzhili Household Department, and was in charge of the Houhu Yellow Book Library.

How the official in charge of the Houhu Yellow Book Library is done, I won't go into detail here. Anyway, the other party has only been in office for two years, and the Zhao family has purchased this mansion in Kaifeng.

Today, Mrs. Zhao discussed with several masters who were implicated in the Guide Mansion trial and cheating case this time.

When Mrs. Zhao walked to the flower hall, everyone stood up.

Old lady Zhao took away her expression, raised her hands and pressed it, and let everyone take their seats.

Then Mrs. Zhao said: "In the past few years, we have also experienced a lot of winds and waves, and we have encountered a lot of difficulties, and the prefect and county order of this strength have not been encountered once or twice, but as long as I am in the same boat, I can still get through the difficulties." ”

Everyone's faces were gloomy, but after listening to Old Lady Zhao's words, their expressions were wide.

The atmosphere is also lively.

Zhao Dagongzi, who was following the old lady Zhao, pressed the shoulder of an old man next to him and said: "In the past, we were ordinary people, and we were used to talking to the government with our heads up, and they were whatever they wanted, and they were as much rent as they wanted. So we sent our children to study, take exams, and gain fame, and now we ourselves are officials, so we are no worse than those surnamed Lin in terms of foundation. ”

"Young Master Zhao, that's what you said." This was said by the old man who was pressed on the shoulder.

One person spoke: "No matter how strong the dragon is, it can't crush the head snake. ”

Zhao Dagongzi said: "That's right, so after the surnamed Lin found out about the government test cheating case, he didn't press it down as soon as possible, he was wrong." He didn't choose to settle the matter, but made a big deal about it, I can say that if he does this, the officialdom in Henan will not support him. ”

"The government, everyone knows that more is better than less. Sometimes there are many cases, and the government does not look at the merits, but suppresses them, first of all, so that the lower ones cannot be chaotic, the big things are small, and the small things are turned into small things, and the officials only need to settle the case willingly. Whoever violates this, not only our gentry, but also the officials will beat him with us. ”

Old Lady Zhao asked, "How about Tixue Dao?" Meng Chang, have they suffered hardships? ”

Zhao Dagongzi smiled and said: "Where is there any bitterness, I eat a little wine every day, and I can eat whatever I want." The Great Master is so sophisticated, he knows how to act in a measured manner. ”

"There were seven students involved that day, and the Grand Master only dismissed two, but the remaining five were not investigated on the spot, do you know what this move means?"

Everyone said: "Zhao Gongzi, you are well-informed, it is better to say it directly!" ”

Zhao Dagongzi said with a smile: "Guan Yunchang was injured by an arrow and scraped his bones to heal, everyone knows it. If we are doctors and a general is hit by an arrow and comes to you for treatment? Zhi, you don't have Hua Tuo's ability, if you can't cure it, the general will kill you. ”

"So if I were a doctor, I would have sawed the shaft of the arrow, and asked the general to ask the general to draw the arrow."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

One person said: "So the great grandmaster disposed of those two inconsequential students, that is, sawed off the arrow shaft, gave Lin Sanyuan, the court an explanation, and as for the arrow, he asked Lin Sanyuan to pull it out himself." ”

"Gao Ming, the Great Grandmaster is really clever, and he deserves to be a long-time official."

Everyone talked about it.

Old lady Zhao said: "The great grandmaster may mean this, but have you thought about how to overturn the case?" ”

Zhao Dagongzi said: "This still has to be my father's face, when he was a member of the household department, he made friends with many officials, and many people were favored, although my father is not in the household department, but the friendship of the year is still there." ”

"But I heard that Lin Sanyuan is the protégé of the current Shoufu." One person said.

"But Li Zhi, Jiang Dongzhi is also the same year as his father, they are now the leaders of Yantai, and they are at odds with Shoufu. Dad is now collecting evidence of Luo Lin's three yuan, and it won't be long before the imperial history will impeach him, and at that time he will be unable to protect himself, and he will even lose his black yarn. ”

Old lady Zhao said: "Don't impeach him, impeach a trivial matter first, as long as the impeachment is on the chapter, let him know that our Zhao family is not at his mercy, he will understand." Then we apologized, gave him a step down, and everyone just made peace. ”

"Yes, grandson remember," Zhao Dagongzi said again, "I'm afraid that Lin Sanyuan still doesn't know what to do, and my father won't let him go when the time comes." ”

Old lady Zhao said: "No, Lin Sanyuan can't really get along with our Zhao family for a few stinky people, and the Qing officials and Qing officials are all told to outsiders." ”

"The officials are all people who look at the inside, and of course we can't put all our hopes on Yushi. This impeachment of a four-grade prefect depends more on luck than on people. You can't count on luck at any time, so it's better to overturn the case or overturn the case. ”

Everyone couldn't help but admire when they heard this, no wonder the Zhao family has been prosperous in the past few decades, and the old lady Zhao is really wise.

Zhao Dagongzi said: "My grandson is also preparing for both, and my father has already sent a letter to the inspector, asking him to put pressure on the judge for us in the same year, urging them to try the case as soon as possible." ”

"I think the letter has arrived, so according to Judge Yang Zhentai, there will also be a result."

Old lady Zhao said: "That's good, but it's bitter for the third child, and he took thirty strokes of the board." If I could, I'd rather use my old bones to take the thirty boards for him. ”

Zhao Dagongzi sneered: "Grandpa, the third brother's thirty boards will not be in vain, and the entire Henan officialdom will see from these thirty boards the determination of our families to overturn the case." ”

And all the people said yes.

Old lady Zhao nodded, pinched her beard and said, "The form has been handed over, the board has also been taken, and the letter from the patrol has also been delivered, so we can only wait and see what happens." ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhao was a little tired: "At my age, no amount of money will be of any use, only children and grandchildren are blessed." ”

While he was talking, someone outside walked into the hall quickly, and then said a few words in the ear of Zhao Dagongzi with a solemn face.

Zhao Dagongzi's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he stopped talking.

Old lady Zhao shook her head and said, "There are no outsiders here, just say it!" ”

Zhao Dagongzi's eyes were a little panicked and a little shocked, as if he had not accepted the news for the time being.

Everyone looked at his expression, and they also had a premonition in their hearts.

At this moment, an indescribable atmosphere shrouded the flower hall.

Zhao Dagongzi's words were very short, only one sentence: "The paper was beaten back by Yang Zhentai, the judge, and the third brother was beaten with thirty boards." ”

Everyone couldn't believe it when they heard this, and even the Zheng Sanpin prosecutor didn't dare to take care of this case, so who else dared to take care of it.

Old lady Zhao closed his eyes when he heard this, and he remembered a lot of things.

In order to covet the land of a relative of the same clan, he forged a land deed with the magistrate and swallowed 200 acres of his relative's land.

This relative was angry for his life, and his son was suing everywhere to get back the 200 acres of land.

But the other party sued the county, was beaten back by the county, and was beaten.

sued the house, was beaten back by the house, and broke a leg.

Then he sued the judge, but he was also made capable by his old lady Zhao's son, and the case was returned, and this person was also beaten and wrapped in a straw mat and sent home.

But this relative's son only has half a life left, and he still threatens to sue as long as there is still a breath left, and he will sue to the end.

If you can't do it in the county, you can't sue the government, you can't tell the province, if you can't do it in the province, you will go to Beijing.

But in the end, this person did not go to Beijing, but died of serious injuries, and the old lady Zhao also took a look at it pretending to be sorry when he worshipped.

He will never forget that their family said to Mrs. Zhao, your Zhao family will also have today!
