Guo Zhizhang didn't know that he had fallen for the tricks of the loyal minister Wu Haogu!

The bizarre case reported by Bai Shizhong is a fake case at all! It was planned by Wu Haogu and Zhao Jiaren, the chief writer of "Wenqu Xingxun Bao", He Tianran, the chief advocate of the Republic Bank, Zhou Yunqing, the head of Zhou Tong's eldest son Jiehe Royal Boxing Gym, and Lu Renjia, the former secretary of the Kaifeng Mansion Division.

And He Tianran, who is known as the first state of Kaifeng, is the most critical figure among them - Wu Hao Guke is a loyal minister in the new era with the spirit of the rule of law!

With the vision of the next 900 years, Wu Haogu knows that loyal ministers cannot only be loyal, but must also have the spirit of the rule of law. You must be a loyal minister in the new era who knows the law and violates the law, uh, it should be a game of knowing the law, taking advantage of legal loopholes, and using legal weapons to frame traitors.

Otherwise, the loyal minister Wu Haogu would have to let all kinds of traitors of the Northern Song Dynasty assassinate him sooner or later...... Traitors are so treacherous, of course loyal ministers are more treacherous than traitors!

So at the same time as the establishment of the Republic Bank, Wu Haogu began to build his own full-time legal team, through Bai Feifei's matchmaking, and offered a sky-high salary of 3,000 yuan per year, and invited the first litigator of Kaifeng Mansion, known as "Iron Mouth and Copper Teeth", He Tianran became his chief lawyer.

Under He Tianran's introduction, Wu Haogu invited Lu Renjia, who served as the secretary of the Kaifeng Mansion Division, known as the "sword and pen official", with the same high salary.

In addition, Zhou Yunqing, the eldest son of Zhou Tong, who played a major role in the arson case in the northern camp of Zhoubei, was also recruited by Wu Haogu with an annual salary of 3,000 yuan, and became the head of the Imperial Boxing Gym in Jiehe Shang City, and was also promoted to a third-class borrowed official body.

With the assistance of the lawyers, the old officials, and the father and son of the Zhou family who can call for wind and rain on the rivers and lakes of Kaifeng Mansion, Wu Haogu was naturally able to concoct a fake case that kept Guo Zhizhang and Guo Daqingtian in the dark.

Towards the end of the afternoon, Lu Renjia Lu Oshiji, who was in his forties, a little short and thin, and always had a gentle smile on his face, rode into the Ewha Villa in a tattered carriage.

After getting out of the car, I was familiar with the way and went straight to Wu Haogu's inner study. In the study, Wu Hao Guzheng and He Tianran, as well as Li Bangyan, the leader of the Taixue Shangshe, studied together""-This is the real one! The so-called "", in the Song Dynasty, was a long story told by storytellers with their mouths. According to the records of later generations of Ming people, it is said that "the prosperity began with Song Renzong". In the Huizong Dynasty, there were storytellers' performances in the restaurants, tea shops, and tiles in the city of Kaifeng. And some of these storytellers can not only speak, but also write. And there are not only men but also women who tell and write books.

Generally speaking, male storytellers talk about princes and generals, the rise and fall of the world, and the most popular is "three points", that is, the story of the Three Kingdoms. And female storytellers and writers naturally focus on the stories of talented and beautiful women.

In addition to princely generals and talented and beautiful women, there are also some bizarre cases that will be written into stories, which can be regarded as the origin of detectives.

Most of the recorders recruited by Wu Haogu for the "Wenqu Xingxun Bao" were original book-writers - book-writers are story-writers, which are easy to understand and are popular with the broad masses of the people. However, the splendid articles of the doctors of the imperial examination were used in the officialdom and in the scientific field, and the working people who had not read the Eight Classics could not understand it at all, nor could they understand it very well.

And what turned the "Dead Man's Bigamy Divorce Case" into is a female storyteller from Pingjiang Army, whose stage name (pen name) is Xiao Yulin, her maiden name is Li, and she is known as Li Niangzi or Li Yulin. is Bai Feifei's friend, the writing is quite good, was introduced by Bai Feifei to the Wenqu Star Newspaper, and became a female recorder, that is, a female reporter - the Northern Song Dynasty is still a bit of a male and female defense, so the newspaper needs some female reporters to interview women.

The column written by Li Niangzi was named "Shooting Surprise" by Wu Haogu, which is a column dedicated to writing all kinds of bizarre and bizarre cases. And "The Dead Rich Businessman Has Two Wives, Guo Qingtian Is Hard to Solve the Family Case" is the pioneering work of the "Shooting Surprise" column!

As long as the Kaifeng Prefecture accepts the case, it will be published immediately in the next issue of "Wenqu Xingxun Bao".

"Lift," Lu Renjia walked into Wu Haogu's study and arched his hand at Wu Haogu, "Kaifeng Mansion has accepted it, and Guo Dafu (Guo Zhizhang) has also inquired about the case and is ready to mediate in person." ”

"Mediation? Can this case still be mediated? Wu Haogu put it down and asked.

"Lifting, at this time, civil cases, can be mediated."

The answer is the iron-mouthed bronze tooth He Tianran, he is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, he looks like a talent, his face is white, his beard is long, his eyebrows are straight, and he looks like a big official - in fact, he is also a scholar, and he has participated in the Kaifeng Mansion Liberation Examination since he was 17 years old, and he has taken the exam three times before and after, and he has failed the list every time.

And in order to make a fortune in Kaifeng Mansion, He Tianran worshipped an old lawyer as a teacher, learned the law of criminal names, and within a few years reached the point of mastery, became a major case in Kaifeng Mansion, and won several very difficult lawsuits, became famous in one fell swoop, and got the nickname of iron mouth and copper teeth.

This case was concocted by him according to Wu Haogu's requirements! It's definitely a fake case that gives Guo Zhizhang a headache!

He Tianran said proudly: "And civil cases usually do not have a situation where one party takes full advantage of the reason, most of them are public and reasonable, and mother-in-law says that mother-in-law is reasonable, so the division of Kaifeng Mansion is mediated first and then adjudicated."

And the problems given to Guo Dafu by his subordinates were enough for him to have a headache for a while. If he makes a random judgment, it is okay for the losing side to beat the drum. ”

The case designed by He Tianran is "both parties are reasonable", the defendant was "wronged" for divorce, and it was "three no-gos", and it was "remarried" on the orders of his mother, which was filial piety. And the plaintiff is even more innocent, she was married to Ming Media, but she was bullied by her mother-in-law after her husband's death and became a "second lady", and now that her mother-in-law is dead, she will not violate filial piety if she sues again.

If anyone is wrong, it is undoubtedly the dead Chen Dalang and Chen's mother......

"Shimei," Wu Haogu turned his head to Li Bangyan and said, "When the Wenqu Xingxun newspaper writes about Li Niangzi, you have to ask the talented people in Taixue to contribute more articles and write comments." And, you still have to keep quiet, you know? ”

Li Bangyan hurriedly patted his chest and said with a smile: "Just rest assured, Bangyan is still a little popular in Taixue." ”

Wu Haogu nodded, "Very good!" After the matter is completed, I will help you introduce Mr. Cai...... With him taking care of you, you will not be afraid that you will not be able to rise to prominence in the future. ”

Li Bangyan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly hugged his fists: "Thank you for lifting it down." ”

The "Wenqu Xingxun Bao" is mainly aimed at the public, and the "comments" of the students are a way to speed up the attention of the upper echelons. When the impact of this fake case is great, Song Huizong will be able to take it to the Chongzheng Palace as a gossip.

At that time, Han Zhongyan, Zeng Bu, and Fan Chunli, these important ministers will have to express their stance - you are all the greenest and greenest Qingtian in the Great Song Dynasty, such a case will always be difficult for you, right? Otherwise, this blue sky will not be green enough.

And to make a statement, monogamy must be incest! And marrying a dead man is even more indiscriminate. Even if it is excusable, it can only be ruled that the marriage relationship between the dead Chen Dalang and Yu Niangzi is not established...... As for how the Chen family compensates the Yu family, that's another matter.

……

On the night of ten days later, when Vice Prime Minister Fan Chunli visited Han Zhongyan's mansion, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty had just eaten dinner and was drinking tea in his study while reading the newspaper by the light - although "Wenqu Xingxun Bao" had not been published for a few issues, Han Zhongyan still developed the habit of reading newspapers.

Because it was not only Song Huizong who was blinded, but also Prime Minister Han Zhongyan, who was "blind and deaf". He was born in a wealthy family, he was studied in the Guan family when he was a child, and after he was admitted to the Jinshi, he rose to prominence, and he became a high-ranking official without much contact with the people's suffering. After becoming a high-ranking official, he is even higher, how can he have the opportunity to contact the people?

Therefore, after the appearance of "Wenqu Xingxun Bao", Han Zhongyan noticed that something was wrong, and at the same time, he also felt that he also needed a newspaper.......

In addition, the "Wenqu Xingxun Daily" has recently hyped up the problem of "northern grain transportation to the south"! For the Northern Song Dynasty court, which regarded the rice bowl of Kaifeng Mansion as bigger than the sky, if even 1 million stones could be transported from the Jiehe-Huanghe-Bianhe waterway every year, it would be a great thing.

Moreover, these issues of Wenqu Xingxun also published several interviews with river transport businessmen, which gave a very detailed introduction to the transportation capacity of the Yellow River flowing north. According to the merchants, there are a large number of empty ships returning south along the channel of the Yellow River flowing north. Because of the balance of the Song-Liao trade report, the Great Song Dynasty exported more things and imported less. And if all the empty ships returning south are loaded with grain, there will be 1 million stone rice grains......

"Yi Suo, have you read the article in the "Wenqu Xingxun Daily" about the transportation of northern grain to the south?"

Seeing Fan Chunli's arrival, Han Zhongyan smiled and mentioned the transportation of northern grain to the south.

"1 million stone a year......," Han Zhongyan said with a smile, "In this way, I don't have to worry about the people of Kaifeng Mansion starving, and there will be no shortage of military rations to the northwest." I think we can start preparing for this this year, and when the autumn grain is harvested, I will store 1.2 million stones in Haizhou. Next summer, it will be able to ride the southeast wind to the Jiehe. ”

He paused, "How about letting the Jiehe City Bo Division take full charge of this matter?" ”

Fan Chunli waved his hand and said, "Shi Pu, don't worry about this...... It's still early for the autumn harvest. Let's take a look at the surprise column on "Wenqu Xingxun News"! ”

"Surprised?" Han Zhongyan smiled, "It's nothing more than some bizarre and bizarre cases, this is not what our prime minister needs to care about." ”

"Xianggong, you take a look first, and you'll know when you see it!" Fan Chunli stomped his feet, "I'm afraid someone is eyeing Empress Yuanyou!" ”

"Empress Yuanyou?" Han Zhongyan was stunned, "What the hell is going on?" ”
