[Second update in ten minutes.] 】

After many days, Li Xianzhong returned to Taiyuan.

When Li Xian arrived in front of the state office, he saw two middle-aged people in mourning clothes being carried out with door panels, their faces were sallow, moaning weakly, and the white linen on their buttocks was bright red, oozing blood, as if they had just been taught a lesson by the board. Then a young woman in Jingchai Mai led a five or six-year-old child out of the yamen, and the child was also dressed in linen and filial piety, looking like a mother and son.

As soon as the mother and son came out, several men and women hugging the two middle-aged people immediately glared angrily at the mother and son, and some even criticized them. just turned around and saw the panache of Li Xian and his entourage, and stopped nervously.

Li Xian glanced at them a few times, and said in his heart that most of them were just concluded a case of family property dissolution. Li Xian didn't pay much attention to them, so he walked into the yamen, and was led all the way to Han Gang's public hall by the little official.

"I know that I have worked hard all the way, and I can't meet it from afar, Han Gang is rude." After Han Gang got up and saluted Li Xian, he said apologetically: "Please be careful, the verdicts of more than 100 cases this month will be sent to the trial court today." He looked down at the file on the table and sighed, "It's getting dark......

"Please take care of yourself, Li Xian is waiting here." Han Gangshu is not formal, and Li Xian is not impressed. Looking at the dossier piled high on the table, he smiled, and sat down to wait.

Han Gang originally wanted to let people lead Li Xian to the flower hall to meet guests for a while, but when he saw Li Xian sitting down in the public hall, he didn't say anything, and asked Huang Sheng to talk to him instead.

Han Gang was immersed in official business, and after Li Xian looked at it for a while, he asked Huang Sheng in a low voice: "Today's trial is a case of property dispute?" ”

"Well, it's a brother's battle." Huang Sheng nodded, "Long Tu and his mother are still alive, and they can't talk about separating the family, so they will have twenty canes each of the two people who proposed to divide the family, and beat them out." ”

Li Xian nodded when he heard this, but immediately felt that something was wrong, recalled the scene he had just seen, and asked, "...... But stepmother? ”

"Do you know, but when you came in, you saw the Liu family going out?" Huang Sheng smiled: "It's my stepmother." Liu Yude, a native of Shouyang, gave birth to a young son after continuing the string. Liu Yude died of illness a month ago, and his sons Liu Da and Liu Si, in order to divide more of the family property, first claimed that his stepmother Liu Wang's family was not a continuation but a concubine, and said that his brother Liu Liu was not the biological son of the Liu family, but brought by Liu Wang's family. For this reason, he also bought off Wen Po, neighbors, clansmen, and even the officials in the county and the prefecture......"

"Why so!?" Li Xian was surprised, how many people bought it together, it couldn't be for tens of thousands, "The Liu family's family property is worth their efforts?!" ”

"Liu Yude is known as Liu Bancheng in Shouyang, there are three Zhuangzi in Taiyuan alone, more than 100 hectares of fields, and in Shouyang Township, there are even more. Moreover, the Liu family is in the states and counties of Hedong, and there are hundreds of shops in the good market. If you know that you have paid attention, you should have seen the plaque of Fenghe in Jinning City. ”

"No wonder." Li Xian nodded, just these farmhouses mentioned by Huang Sheng may be able to have millions of yuan, even if they are placed in the city of Tokyo, there are few brothers who turn against each other, "No wonder Long Tu will come forward to try this case." ”

Li Xian said this, but he still had doubts in his heart, with Han Gang's identity, generally speaking, as long as he was not involved in a major case, there was no need to go into battle in person. Even if someone knocks on the drum outside the yamen, it is enough to hand it over to the officials in the palace to deal with it.

The magistrate is nominally a subordinate of the prefect and is responsible for hearing the case, and it should not be Han Gang's turn to fight for property. Especially since this case is related to hundreds of thousands of millions of family property, Han Gang violated the convention and rashly stepped in, didn't he have to avoid the suspicion of being jealous?

Huang Shang seemed to see the doubts in Li Xian's heart, and explained: "This case involves the in-laws of the magistrate, so avoid suspicion according to the rules." So Long Tu took over. But it's not just to avoid suspicion," he pursed his lips disdainfully, "I know you haven't seen it, there are as many as eleven officials in the mansion who have been punished by Long Tu for this case in the past two days." In Shouyang County, it has not been investigated, and I don't know how many roads there are. ”

Han Gang reviewed the verdicts that were about to be sent to the capital, and the whispers of Huang Sheng and Li Xian also reached his ears.

The cases that are submitted to Taiyuan Mansion every day are not mostly criminal cases, but the vast majority of them are ordinary civil cases. Among the cases handled by Han Gang, the ratio of civil cases to criminal cases is about ten to one. In criminal cases, only 12 percent of serious crimes such as homicide are committed.

Such as Chen Shiru's mother's murder and other big cases that are against humanity will not be encountered once in decades. Once the incident happens, it can even shake a state, all the way, and be directly sent to the desk of the Son of Heaven. If one is not good, it will be chased and beaten by the Criminal Court, Dali Temple and even Yushitai. If you are lucky, you will also be guilty of ineffective education, and you will be fined twenty or thirty pounds of copper at the lightest.

Fortunately, Han Gang did not encounter the bad luck of the Renren case, today's case is just a fight for family property, Han Gang found the problem during the review, and then moved to Shouyang County, and brought all the people involved in this case to Taiyuan.

As a prefect, after inspecting the cases reported by the subordinate counties, the cases that are problematic are remanded for retrial, and the problems are confirmed - generally the criminal cases that need to be examined are criminal cases with a sentence of exile or above, as well as civil cases involving a relatively large amount of money and land.

The reason why the pro-people officials have a special status is that they have to take care of everything. Military, political, judicial, storage and transportation are all under the jurisdiction of the pro-civilian officials. But it is impossible to bow down in person. As an official at the state level, Han Gang has rarely directly decided cases. Most state officials, unless they come to the door to beat the drum of grievances, have to be promoted, and after being promoted, there are a lot of people who are transferred to the magistrates.

In fact, when he tried this case in person, Han Gang remembered his cousin Feng Congyi, and the Liu family's property dispute was almost a copy of the Feng family's property dispute. Moreover, Liu Deyu himself is considered to be the leading figure in the Jin Dynasty, Han Gang received a letter from Feng Congyi a few days ago, which happened to mention Liu Deyu and his Fenghe.

The Fenghe Liu family was the backbone of the Jin merchants. At this time, the Jin merchants did not have the grandeur of later generations, and they were not even as famous as the Yongshang in the capital, but the courage to sell anything did not lose to the descendants at all. Just like Liu Deyu, there are also many ways to go in the Liao Kingdom in the north. This is also mentioned in Feng Congyi's letter.

However, when Feng Congyi wrote the letter, he only went to Hangang to work in Hedong, so by the way, he mentioned several famous figures in the Jin merchants, but he didn't know that Liu Deyu had died of illness. But in his letter, he coincidentally mentioned that he had sent someone to give a congratulatory gift when Liu Deyu was renewing the string, so that Han Gang had a bottom of the truth before the trial, and would not be deceived by tampered documents and bribed witnesses.

The current situation of the Liu family is extremely similar to that of the Feng family back then. Han Gang's handling method back then was to directly let Feng Congyi give up the family property, hurt others and himself, and broke up. But when you become a judge, you can't play like that.

By comparing the confessions of his neighbors, Wen Po, and clansmen, and examining various documents, Han Gang listed the tampered evidence one by one—it was confirmed in advance that the evidence was forged, and it was easy to find flaws in it, much easier than when he did not know the authenticity.

The document was confirmed to be a forgery, and all the officials who handled the matter naturally could not escape the punishment of national law. When the officials were all disposed of, the remaining witnesses were easily resolved, and in a total of only three days, Han Gang easily returned Liu Wang's justice. When Liu Wang's identity is recognized, then his next verdict will be logical.

——Parents are here, and the family cannot be separated according to the law, which is the foundation of filial piety. Although there are many cases of violating the law in the world, when parents are old and sick, they take the initiative to share the wealth for their children, so that the children will fight for property after death, which is laughed at by the world. But Han Gang took the law as evidence, and no one could say that he was wrong, which is a typical precedent for abiding by the Three Principles and Five Constants and Dunhua customs.

Huang Sheng obviously appreciated and even revered Han Gang's methods in this case, and even revered, I didn't know that Han Gang was looking for evidence with the answers, and thought that he was discerning and insightful, "When Liu Wang's family entered, he brought a dowry, although it was very meager, but a dowry is a dowry, and the documents are also listed. To be a concubine, even if you can bring a private house, it is impossible to list it on a red list. As soon as this evidence is found, there is nothing to say. Moreover, on several forged deeds, there are problems with the signing and timing. Long Tu started from this, arrested a group of officials involved in the case, scolded them with a cane, and removed their names one by one, and waited for the testimony to pass through the court, and before Long Tu could ask him carefully, all the witnesses who were bought changed their words...... It's all scared! ”

"Be afraid." Li Xian nodded frequently.

This time, Han Gang's verdict was mostly an example of killing chickens and monkeys. How could Li Xian not see it?

Han Gang was originally famous, and when he arrived in Hedong, his influence on the local military was like that of a powerful minister who went out, and even surpassed it. Then he deliberately selected a few wrongly convicted cases to be tried, and by the way, he punished the officials in the yazhong, deterred his subordinates, and cooperated with his reputation among the people, and the situation in Taiyuan Mansion was opened.

Without hesitation, with Han Gang's means, it was effortless to suppress the crowd in the yazhong. And then he didn't dig deeper, and he didn't have to pursue it, which confused people's hearts. The ghost believed that the two adult sons of the Liu family only bought witnesses and officials. Why should the so-called officials avoid suspicion because of their in-laws, and I don't know how many famous people there are.

It has always been said that Han Gang is extremely intelligent, but what this case shows is not a matter of intelligence, but the maturity of his methods. There is no youthful frizz at all. It would not be surprising if there were old and sophisticated staff members around him, but Li Xian saw that the guests around Han Gang were basically young people, all of them were disciples of Qi Sect, and Huang Shang was considered to be old.
