Chapter 829: Hai Gong Case
Tang Jingting was dumbfounded, and then he couldn't hold back his laughter, and secretly said that Qin Lin coaxed casually, and Teacher Hai was willing to be fooled, it was really a gentleman who could be bullied.
Hai Rui can be admitted to the imperial examination, and he has been up and down in the officialdom for many years, he is definitely not a stupid person, but as long as he talks about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, this old gentleman immediately twists his brain, either "the railing is patted all over, no one will, and the arrival is coming", or "the long wife rests to cover up the tears", and he will definitely not refute you with half a sentence.
Qin Lin has a good relationship with Hai Rui, he is like this, who is like-minded, then put his heart into his heart, such as Qi Jiguang and Zeng Xingwu; Even if it is a world-famous Qing official like Hai Rui, even if it is Zhu Yijun, the Wanli Emperor, he will never lose himself under the halo of others, no matter whether the halo comes from fame or power.
But Qin Lin is not a tendon, disagreement and it is not good to directly contradict him, I will make up a reason to deceive him, everyone is happy, everyone is satisfied, all relaxed, hello, I am good, he is good. At Hai Rui's age, if I quarrel with him head-on, if I get a heart attack or a cerebral hemorrhage or something, wouldn't I be guilty of someone?
Hai Rui and Qin Lin chatted hotly, to be precise, Hai Rui shaved his head and picked his head hot, Qin Lin was just perfunctory without a trace, Tang Jingting gaged from the side, praised the teacher, and pulled the future classmates, the scene was also very lively.
It's just that as time goes by, Qin Lin becomes more and more impatient in his heart, and he gradually finds that Zhang Juzheng's evaluation of Hai Rui before his death is very pertinent, that is, when the signboard confesses, it may be beneficial to the hearts of the people of the world.
Because Hai Rui's political views blindly start from the word "just", emphasizing "no desire is rigid" everywhere, but who in the world does not have **? His idea of a saint ruling the country will not work at all in reality!
Moreover, Hai Rui's discussion is really appalling, saying that since Renzong Xuanzong, it is no longer the old system of Hong Wuye, and now to achieve the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, we can only rely on the restoration of the old system of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang: officials who embezzle more than 60 taels of silver will be stripped of the skin, private prostitution is strictly prohibited, gambling is all cut off fingers, and all those who gang up to run rampant in the market will be beheaded, and the nobles and officials and gentry will forcibly occupy the land and be strictly ordered to return...... Prohibition of prostitution, absolute heroism, Qin Lin listened to this, and felt that in addition to the drastic means, the policy itself seemed to be not bad, but the discussion was not good, what Renxuan has not been the old system of Taizu, no wonder the bigwigs in the DPRK and China did not welcome Hai Rui.
As a result, Hai Rui said that he had a surname, and then became more and more impassioned: "The Department of Teaching and Workshop must also strictly control the Goolan Vashe, and only allow singing songs that are beneficial to the hearts of the world, and all glamorous sounds are not allowed to be sung; The people strictly implement the road guide, and the people have no road to lead them out for hundreds of miles, either the nomads or the merchants, and they are all severely punished; The development of the maritime trade fair makes the people's hearts slippery, and it is inevitable that there will be coastal people to attract Japanese invaders, so it is necessary to strictly implement the sea ban, close the country, and not allow the sails to go to the sea; The atmosphere in the south of the Yangtze River is extravagant, the magic and silver are clever and confusing, and the organic households attract thousands of good people, and finally say that spinning makes profits, and the source of this chaos is also ...... By the way, there is a book called "Golden Vase Plum" recently, which is extremely instructive and stealing, and books like this must be banned! β
Uh, Mr. Wang Shizhen was shot, Jin Zhumei.
Qin Lin touched his nose and smiled bitterly, he finally understood Hai Rui's thoughts.
It's a pity that this kind of thinking is not realistic at all, and even very absurd, just to ban pirates and clean up people's hearts, we have to close off the country. Daming Shui Shi was at the peak of Zheng He's voyage to the West, and he fell to the current depressed appearance, which is to suffer this loss.
What kind of miracle tricks and silver tricks confuse people's hearts, and the machine household recruits thousands of machine workers to weave makes Hai Rui worried, but everyone knows that the large-scale machine industry will replace the small peasant economy of male farmers and women weaving, if there is no Manchu Qing Dynasty, what extent will the textile industry in the south of the Yangtze River develop? No one can say for sure...... Severely punishing corruption is only a very small aspect of Hai Jui's ruling thinking, in fact, under the banner of restoring the old system of Taizu Hong Wuye, he wants to turn the whole country into a huge cage under the strict control of the government, and everyone cannot talk nonsense, so the world is peaceful, and the country and the people are safe.
No wonder it has been several months since Zhang Juzheng was liquidated, and the imperial court did not immediately reuse Hai Rui, because even Zhang Siwei and Yan Qing did not wait to see his old man!
Not to mention others, Tang Jingting, who was present, was a little uncomfortable when he heard the teacher's discussion, especially when Hai Rui said that he wanted to peel the skin and grass, his face was very ugly, and his buttocks moved around on the chair, as if he had a thorn.
It is estimated that he embezzled more than sixty taels of silver, Qin Lin's ability to observe words and expressions is not trivial, and he secretly laughed in his belly.
Now Qin Lin has no interest in Hai Rui's political opinions, and said unceremoniously, whether Zhang Juzheng or Zhang Siwei is in power, or if Shen Shixing or Yu Youding are replaced, Hai Rui's set has no chance to be implemented at all, and the best outcome of his old man is to be granted an idle position with a very high status and little real power by the imperial court, and to be hung up as a Qing official signboard to fill the faΓ§ade.
The only thing that interests him is Hai Rui's ability to solve the case, Qin Lin is quite expectant about this, after all, "The Hai Gong Case" is famous, and the folk legend is amazing, I think there should be some truth, the political opinion is out of place, it doesn't mean that he is bad at solving the case!
Qin Lin slowly turned the conversation to this direction and asked Hai Rui for the trick of solving the case.
"The old man has some criteria for judging the case, and he has a slight reputation for so many years," Hai Rui stroked his gray beard, looking quite complacent.
Tang Jingting would be wrong, listening to Qin Lin's repeated mention of the case, thinking that he intended to worship under Hai Rui's door, so he said playfully: "It just so happens that tomorrow is the time for the lower officials to sit in the court to ask about the case, it is better to choose and say, so please ask Mr. Hai and Brother Qin to accompany each other, and Mr. Hai will then point out how to judge the case!" β
The guests and hosts finally dispersed happily, Tang Jingting sent Hai Rui and Qin Lin out of the door of the mansion, and the three of them parted ways.
After Qin Lin went back, he was very curious in his heart, the Hai Rui he saw today seemed to be very different from the imagined Hai Rui.
He quietly sent people to inquire in Qiongshan County, and the people mentioned Hai Rui and gave a thumbs up to Hai Qingtian, saying that he only had 40 acres of thin fields, and his family houses were dilapidated, and he often wore clothes and shoes.
Hearing this, Qin Lin became more and more confused, and felt that Hai Rui's image was covered with a layer of fog, as if it was becoming more and more unclear...... The next day was the day when the government government was promoted to ask about the case, and the original defendant of the complaint and the people who had nothing to do to watch the trial waited outside the government office as soon as the sun came out.
A round of red is shining, the gate of the government is slowly opened, the sun shines on the main hall, the mirror hangs four gold lacquer characters shining, Tang Jingting's official uniform is promoted in the middle, the left guest Hai Rui wears a green shirt, the right guest Qin Lin wears a flying fish suit and wears a wingless black yarn, and twenty soaps are lined up with water and fire sticks on both sides of the goose wings.
"Hai Rui Hai Qingtian!" When the people saw this scene, they immediately smiled, and everyone was full of anticipation, although Hai Rui was sitting in the guest seat, but all eyes were focused on him.
Ahem, Tang Jingting coughed dryly twice, and picked up the file on the public case: "The first one to ask Zhao Xiaosi to sue Boss Qian for the case of occupying land, come on, bring the plaintiff Zhao Xiaosi!" β
Zhao Xiaosi was very dark-skinned, short in stature, dressed like a local farmer in Qiongzhou, with a sad look between his eyebrows, he was led up to the lobby by the officials, and knelt down and kowtowed to Tang Jingting three times.
"Well, you are from Wenchang County, you are not satisfied with the judgment of the local magistrate, and you came to this mansion to prosecute the ......" Tang Jingting shook the file, and said suspiciously: "The trial of this case is clear, the human and material evidence are all there, what else are you not convinced?" β
Zhao Xiaosi said: "If you go back to the eldest master, the boss of the money is a local tyrant, and he forcibly occupies my family's land, and Wenchang County is unfair, so the small one must be controlled." β
When Qin Lin heard this, he paid attention to Hai Rui's expression, and sure enough, when he heard that Haoqiang occupied Mintian, Hai Rui's eyelids were slightly raised, and his expression changed.
"Oh, it turns out that his heart is towards the people, and he was a little angry when he heard that the people were aggrieved," Qin Lin thought.
Tang Jingting ordered to take the defendant, and Boss Qian also came up, he was a strong man with a big waist and a round waist, with a dark face, walking with his arms dangling, and kneeling and kowtowing three times.
"Back to the eldest master, this Zhao Xiaosi really borrowed fifty taels of silver from the small one, and he didn't pay the silver, so he had to use the land to pay off the debt, the IOU is here, please check it carefully." As he spoke, Boss Qian handed over an IOU, with a picture of the middle guard on it, and a bright red fingerprint under Zhao Xiaosi's name.
Tang Jingting shook the IOU: "Zhao Xiaosi, you gave this IOU to Boss Qian?" Are the fingerprints yours? β
Zhao Xiaosi's face turned red in a hurry: "Master, I made this IOU, but I didn't borrow his money, at that time I wanted to buy a fishing boat to go out to sea to catch fish, but I couldn't stand the rhetoric of the middle guard, so I asked him to borrow money and hit this IOU." Before the money arrived, the third brother Sun, who was familiar with him, said that the donkey of the money boss could not be borrowed, and he and a few villagers pooled fifty taels to lend me a boat, so he never borrowed money from the beginning to the end. β
"Is there any evidence for what you say? The guarantor's testimony said that you took the money to make the IOU, and there are indeed your fingerprints on the IOU......," Tang Jingting groaned, and his eyes moved to Hai Rui.
Qin Lin was quite looking forward to it, waiting for Hai Rui to show his skills, whether to test the authenticity of the IOU, to question the confession to analyze the case, or to have another magic method?
Hai Rui's squinted eyes suddenly opened, and he said in an unquestionable tone: "Da Ming Law is clear, financial entanglements are subject to written evidence, Zhao Xiaosi, since you said that you never took the money from the money boss, why did you give him the IOU?" Why can't I find a witness? Now that Mr. Qian has all the evidence and material evidence, you are not allowed to sue in the county, and you go to the capital to sue again, you are really a troubled people! β
Yes? Qin Lin opened his mouth and stammered, he didn't expect Hai Rui to say this.
That Zhao Xiaosi shrank back in fright, and the whole person trembled, but Boss Qian was proud, and even said that the sea blue sky mirror was hanging high.
Qin Lin wondered in his heart, thinking that Hai Rui must have another clever plan to reverse the situation, but Tang Jingting made a judgment in court, rejected all Zhao Xiaosi's appeals, and also posted to Wenchang County, saying that Zhao Xiaosi was a troubled Diao Min, and he was not allowed to continue to sue in the future.
"Hmph, there is no basis for the crooked complaint, no wonder Hai Qingtian sentenced him to lose!" The people who were hearing the trial were discussing.
Many people pointed at Zhao Xiaosi: "This person wants to repay the debt, right?" Murder to repay debts and pay back, a fair thing, I don't admit it after I hit the IOU, haha, old man! β
Zhao Xiaosi bent his back, his whole person was bent like a prawn, and he walked out with a red face, not even daring to say half a sentence.
Qin Lin looked at Hai Rui strangely, he never dreamed that Hai Qingtian, who was famous all over the world, would judge the case like this.
Hai Rui felt Qin Lin's gaze, stroked his beard, and said in a low voice: "The remote people in Qiongzhou are stubborn, and there are quite a few people who are pestering and litigating, so the old man will judge the case according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, and the black and white notes shall prevail, so that they have nothing to say." β
Uh~~ Qin Lin didn't know what to say, so he could only continue to listen, but secretly glanced at Lu Yuanzhi who was standing behind him, and the fat man understood and walked out quietly.
The second case was the encroachment of a man surnamed Li surnamed Zhang in Ding'an County on his family's land.
"Master, my house is adjacent to Zhang's field, and when a rain fell, Zhang's family insisted that the boundary post was washed over by the water and was going to move back, so isn't that encroaching on my family's three zhang field?" The surname Li has a convenient tongue, and he gushed endlessly: "The surname Zhang is a local clan, and the power is very large, and he bought the county's bookstore and government service, but the small one suffered a loss in the county, I heard that the mansion is a student of Hai Qingtian, so he went to the mansion to control, I don't know which life burned high incense, Hai Qingtian himself was actually here, and asked the master Qingtian to preside over justice." β
Hai Rui stroked his beard and bowed slightly.
The defendant Zhang's family came from a white and fat rich man, wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, and said unconvinced: "Hai Qingtian, our family is a local clan, but there is no bullying, but this surname Li is surnamed Jianqian, last summer through the rain and heavy water, moved the boundary stone three zhang, to invade my family's land, Hai Qingtian can not be deceived by him!" β
Hai Rui's face sank, and he looked very unhappy, and asked, "Do you two have a land deed?" β
The two land deeds were presented, both of which drew adjacent boundaries, but one was from the Hongwu period and the other was from the Xuande period, both of which were one or two hundred years old, and the boundaries above were blurred and could not be seen clearly.
Come to think of it, the peasants will not sell their fields unless they are forced to do so, and a title deed has been passed down for generations, and of course it has become like this.
Tang Jingting looked at it with a sad face for a while, and asked Hai Rui: "The title deed is not clear at all, teacher, what do you see?" β
"The small people are afraid of the wealthy clan like a tiger, where dare to forcibly seize the land of the big clan? This must be the Zhang family's nonsense," Hai Rui said with great certainty.
Tang Jingting immediately ruled that the Li family would win, and the boundary stone would remain the same.
The surnamed Li immediately shouted Hai Qingtian's eyes were like lightning, and the surname Zhang had to fight again, looking at Hai Rui's awe-inspiring appearance, and hearing the people behind him pointing and poking, he suddenly smiled bitterly and stomped his feet: "That's it, my family is not short of three zhang of land, even if you give up your wealth to avoid disasters!" β
