(Wei Zhixian is erected, and the brothers are also erect, ask for recommendation votes!) ）-

Oh, yes. Think about it, I have successfully turned over this case, which was convicted of capital by the Criminal Department. In the coming days, he will be famous, and the future is bright, and it seems that he should be content.

But if this case is really obscured, He Chang, the culprit, will definitely go unpunished. I have become an accomplice to cover up the murderer, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to solve this knot for the rest of my life!

Wei Zhixian has read the books of sages for twenty years, and naturally takes the words of sages as a guideline. The sage said that a gentleman has nine thoughts, and the first one is 'seeing and thinking'. A gentleman sees things clearly, he must distinguish between right and wrong, distinguish between truth and falsehood, and see people and things clearly!

When he was a student, Wei Zhixian took this as a matter of course. However, after coming out, I realized that people often can't see the merits clearly, or they dare not or don't want to see the truth and the falsehood. Because the distinction is too clear and too clear, it is inevitable that the head will be bled and even harm Qingqing's life. But if you pretend to be confused, you can get peace for a while, but you will suffer from the torment of conscience and suffer for a lifetime......

When reality and belief collide, it is often the latter that compromises. But for Wei Yuan, the choice was particularly difficult. This is related to his experience, he is Yongle four years Jinshi, because he is too young, his face is too tender, Yongle Emperor let him Jinshi return, study and wait, he can never forget His Majesty, the emperor's warm words and encouragement, fist expectations......

'Wei Xiaoaiqing, you must always introspect and be strict with yourself, don't lose what you want! ’

To this day, Emperor Yongle's words still echo in his mind from time to time, making him dare not relax himself......

This night, the heavens and people of Weizhi County fought, and he finally made a decision with his eyes open until dawn!

On that day, the officials of Fuyang County saw a county magistrate with blood-red eyes and heard his decision:

"Today, the lobby will be re-tried!"

All the officials were amazed, and then solemnly received the order, which was completely different from the past.

The county government branch hall has two halls. On weekdays, the county lord is promoted to the second hall. When the second hall is promoted, the magistrate generally wears official uniforms, and the officials who are called are generally limited to the clerks on duty and the commissioners, and the officials who have nothing to do with the incident do not have to appear.

When ascending to the lobby, the county officials must wear court clothes, and the officials of the six rooms and three classes must gather to row the office, which is much more solemn than the former. According to the regulations, generally only when the holy decree is read, the order is erranded, or there is a particularly serious case, will be promoted to the lobby!

Today, Wei Zhixian wants to go up to the lobby to ask about the case, which has already shown his attitude.

After retiring, Wei Zhixian bathed and burned incense, got rid of the official uniform and changed into court clothes.

He stood in front of the bronze mirror in white socks and black shoes, and the two relatives put on the top and bottom of Chiluo Qingyuan for him, and then arranged the collar, revealing a white collar with a single brush. Then he put on a silver leather belt and a knee covering that hung from Chiluo. After the leather belt, the ribbon is tied and hidden, and the last two large belts hang down from the outside......

This is not only a dressing, but also a ceremony, when a piece of clothing is added, Wei Zhixian feels responsible, and it is also pressed on his shoulders. For the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven and for the people, upholding justice is the meaning of wearing this court uniform!

"Dong Weng ......" showed Sima Qiu's old face on the dressing mirror, and he sighed: "Are you really going to let go of it?" ”

"The matter of eating the king and being loyal to the king, serving as an official and benefiting one party, this is my oath before taking office." The county order in the mirror, although he has a straight face, still looks very young: "Why does Fuyang often not get rid of such bullies, what kind of loyalty to the monarch and benefit one party?" ”

"I wonder what Dong Weng is going to do?" Master Sima said in awe.

"Waiting for Mr. to come up with an idea...... Wei Zhixian spread his hands and said sincerely.

"Alas......" Sima Qiu sighed and said, "It's really troublesome to have a boss like you......"

"Sir, you have a good plan?" Wei Zhixian heard the song and knew the meaning of elegance, and turned his head excitedly. Although Kong said that Chengren and Meng said that righteousness should be taken from righteousness, but there is no need to be benevolent to take righteousness, that is the best......

"I thought about it over and over again, but it's not that scary." Sima Qiu smiled bitterly and said softly: "Let's talk about the identity of Jinyiwei that we are most afraid of. This is very strange. If he is a hundred households in Jinyiwei, why didn't he mention it yesterday? I'm afraid that there will be something unspeakable. Since he didn't mention it, let's assume that we don't know. As for whether Jinyiwei will interfere in the future, that is the matter above, and it has nothing to do with Dong Weng. Those who don't know are not guilty, and no matter how domineering Jinyiwei is, he will not find trouble with Dong Weng. ”

"Well, that's good." Wei Zhixian nodded and said, "What about the identity of the grain chief?" This one is also troublesome. ”

"It is said that the chief of the grain can pay money to atone for the death penalty. I couldn't sleep last night, and I looked through the "Great Message" and found that this article came from December of the eighth year of Hongwu, "If the grain chief commits miscellaneous capital crimes and exiles, he can pay money to atone for his crimes." Sima Qiu said softly.

"Oh......" Wei Zhixian read the sage book and studied the legal provisions only at the beginning. However, it is also known that the so-called 'miscellaneous capital crimes' are the less serious of capital crimes, and the punishment is generally lighter than that of 'real capital crimes'.

To put it simply, miscellaneous capital crimes are capital crimes other than those of the dead, such as murder, rebellion, imprisonment and adultery, and perversion of the law.

But what does it mean to pinch?

"Well, what do you mean?" Wei Zhixian did not want to show his ignorance. But time is pressing, and I can only ask shamelessly.

"That is to say, if He Chang can confess to the crime of intentional homicide, he will have no atonement." Sima Qiu explained: "Otherwise, he will not be able to move on these miscellaneous charges of instigation, abduction, and concealment." ”

"But what if he doesn't recruit?" Wei Zhixian frowned and said: "This kind of fearless and stubborn person can't be tortured, it's really troublesome." ”

"Yes, it can be punished." Sima Qiu shook his head and said: "The imperial court does not give the grain chief the same preferential treatment as it does to the students and the people. It's just because Emperor Taizu attaches great importance to the grain chief, and the grain chief is related to the imperial court's taxation, and the magistrate does not dare to offend, so he Chen Chen Xiang. ”

The grain chief collects and transports grain for the imperial court. Emperor Taizu, who was soaked in bitter water, witnessed the scene of corrupt officials going to the countryside to extort money every time the tax was collected, causing the people to go bankrupt. When he ascended the throne, he ingeniously devised this set of methods for the collection and release of civil self-government, and officials were not allowed to interfere in the entire process of collecting and distributing taxes and grain.

In addition, the grain chief of the Hongwu Dynasty could face the saint, and he also shouldered the task of collecting local public information for the emperor, which made the local officials jealous of him. I was afraid that the grain chief would pick on the grain and delay the grain transportation, and I couldn't afford to eat it, so it became the unspoken rule of the local government to treat the grain chief preferentially and give the same treatment to Xiucai and even lift people.

"I see." Wei Zhixian was overjoyed and said: "That's easy to do, under Miki, keep him open!" ”

"But there is a problem with moving the punishment." Sima Qiu smiled bitterly: "First, if you are beaten into a trick, it will be easy to retract your confession in the future." The two of them are shocked by horses and mules, and there are six grain chiefs in this county, and when they see Dong Weng breaking the rules, they will inevitably be resentful, and when the tax season is collected, eighty percent will be in trouble. ”

"Hometown, the thief of Lourdes!" Wei Zhixian hated and scolded: "After passing this pass first, there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain!" ”

"In fact, you don't have to use torture, you can outwit." Sima Qiu's face was slightly red and his heart jumped slightly, in fact, he went to Wang Xian early this morning to ask for advice, and the problem that seemed unsolvable to him was solved by Wang Xiaozi in a few words. There's no way, when you get older, your head won't shine......

Sima Qiu still took Wang Xian's method as his own, and whispered in Wei Zhixian's ear: "Since the previous method worked, just take the medicine according to the prescription." Listening to He Chang's last sentence, he seemed to be ignorant of the stipulation that 'only miscellaneous capital crimes can be exempted from punishment'. This is very normal, because more than ten years after the death of Emperor Hongwu, "The Great Message" was almost completely abandoned. Even a professional master like Sima Qiu needs to check the information, let alone how often it is.

"Since he wants Dong Weng to help calculate how much money will be fined for these crimes, then help him calculate......" Sima Qiu ended in a low voice.

Wei Zhixian laughed loudly after hearing this: "It's really treacherous, but I like it, ha......ha ”

Sima Qiu's face was slightly red, and he scolded secretly: "If you say tactfulness, you will die!" I had to cough dryly: "I just came here before, and I don't know what the terroir is like here, so the students naturally just look at it and don't talk about it......"

"I see!" Wei Zhixian praised: "Mr. Wude, like Henkel's ovary!" ”

"Dong Weng praised ......," Sima Qiu's old face smiled into a chrysanthemum.

At this time, Liang Guanfeng was sent to Wei Zhixian by his personal entourage, but he did not answer: "Don't wear court clothes, change to official clothes!" ”

The two relatives almost vomited blood, do you know that it is very troublesome to wear a court dress once, boss!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When it was a quarter of an hour, the six rooms and three classes of the county government had changed their official uniforms and gathered in the lobby.

When the officials heard this, they made a big uproar, and secretly scolded Wei Zhixian for having no hair on his mouth and not doing things well, except for the officials of the torture room and the undertaker, the rest of the people went back to their respective rooms, and the birds and beasts scattered.

Above the second hall, Wei Zhixian wore a black veil on his head, a cyan official uniform, and an emu on his chest, and sat behind the big case, and first interrogated He Fu, Zhu and other He Fu family members.

Because they didn't kill the person, and Wei Zhixian promised to confess that the sentence could be commuted. Several people quickly confessed the origin of the female corpse two years ago.

It turned out that the concubine Linghua that He Chang bought, because of her strong temper, often contradicted him, and was killed by He Chang by mistake. After killing people, He Chang was afraid of being discovered, so he let a few pillars, tied the rhombus to the stone, and sank into the heart of the Fuchun River......

After a few people drew a confession, Wei Zhixian was shocked and said: "Take what you want!" ”

After a while, He Chang didn't bring torture instruments, walked up to the hall like a walk, and arched his hand towards Wei Zhixian, which was regarded as a salute.

"Look."

Soap Li moved a pestle up and asked He Chang to sit down.

Wei Zhixian said to He Chang with a straight face: "This official thought all night, you are one of the seven grain chiefs in this county, and there is still a month to harvest autumn grain, in line with the ancestral teachings of Taizu, I decided to let you go!" ”
