When I returned to the county office, I saw that Lin Xiangyu had just been promoted to the court to try the case, and the two knelt on the ground and made their own statements.

Kneeling in the hall is a hawker Liu Er and a blind pianist Zhao San, the two of them sleep in the shop of the big car shop, the night passes, the hawker finds that he is hiding in the baggage of the five hundred copper coins are gone, the door of the big shop is bolted, the business of the big car shop is not good recently, there are only two hawkers and the violinist, not the piano master, but who is there?

The violinist naturally refused to admit it, and the two fought in the big car shop, and were kicked out by the shopkeeper: "I want to fight outside." ”

also pointed to his hand: "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, turn left in front to find the prefect." ”

The prefect can't be found, but it's still possible to find the prefect.

So the hall that Fengxian had not been promoted for hundreds of years rose again, Lin Xiangyu was dressed in a brand-new official robe, covered his head with black yarn, and sat on the hall, it looked like this, Feng Ge looked at it in the hall, and he was usually used to seeing him crying and chirping, but now he suddenly saw his majestic appearance, and he was quite uncomfortable.

I saw Lin Xiangyu patted him in shock: "Liu Er, let me ask you, what do you do for a living?"

"The little one is the merchant, who walks the streets with his burden, selling needles and threads, rouge pollen, and some knick-knacks. ”

Lin Xiangyu continued to ask: "You said that the five hundred dollars are yours, but there is evidence." ”

"My lord, my name is not engraved on the money, and the string of strings has been changed by this blind man. Liu Er was angry, "This is a little bit of money that the little one has earned after running for several months, coming and going in the wind and rain, and there is all the villain's capital in it, if this money is lost, I have to die." ”

Lin Xiangyu turned his face to look at Zhao San: "Zhao San, where did you get this money from?"

"Adults Mingjian, the villain has been blind since childhood, and he makes a living by playing the violin on the street all day long, he said that he is hard, the villain is a thousand times harder than him, how much can he earn every day, all depends on the kindness of the person to rejoice, if people only give one or two pennies, the villain will be hungry for a day, sometimes meet a good person, give a ten or twenty wen, the villain can barely eat a full stomach. ”

The people standing on the side to listen to the trial pointed and pointed, many of them supported the blind piano master Zhao San, and said that this person was really pitiful, and some women said to others that Liu Er had sold her needles that were blunt and the threads were broken, and at a glance he knew that his character was not good and his conscience was corrupt, and he must have seen that Zhao San was rich, so he deliberately wanted to trap him.

Lin Xiangyu slapped the shocked wood again, stopped the private discussion of the people, and asked aloud:

"Liu Er, is there a mark on your money?"

"Ouch, my lord, I go in and out of dozens or hundreds of texts every day, how can I make any marks on it?"

"Zhao San, do you have a mark on your money?"

"Back to the adult, the villain's copper coins are not easy to come by, so the villains are stringing together the copper coins, word to word, back to back. ”

The official handed over the string of five hundred copper coins, Lin Xiangyu glanced at it, and it was indeed consistent with what Zhao San said.

"Yes, this string of money is indeed word for word, back to back. ”

There was a commotion among the people who heard the trial, and the crowd could hear the woman from before saying loudly: "What's the matter? I'll just say that these Liu and the others are of low character, and even if they pit me, a woman, they don't even let go of a blind person, do they still have a conscience!"

Liu Er only knelt on the ground and shouted that he was wronged.

Feng Ge's heart moved, and he wanted to remind Lin Xiangyu out loud, but he couldn't help it, and first see how he tried the case, if he wanted to enter the Ministry of Industry, it was not just a matter of studying the secret ways of the institution, there must be new research results every year, and he must be sober-minded and logical, otherwise he will be crushed to death by those freak wizards in the Ministry of Industry, which is a matter of moments.

Lin Xiangyu looked at the blind man and said with emotion: "Hey, Zhao San, you make a living as an artist, it's really not easy to get so much money, you must have a lot of calluses on your hands, right?"

Zhao San heard the county master shouting at him, he was very moved, and said busily: "Yes, since the villain learned to play the piano, he can't stop every day, and his mouth stops when his hands stop." ”

"This official wants to see the hand of the violin, what is it?" Lin Xiangyu said with concern.

Zhao San stretched out his hands and spread them out.

Lin Xiangyu only glanced at it, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Zhao San: "You turn around and let others see how hard you work for your livelihood." ”

The people in the hall were in an uproar, and Feng Ge could see it clearly, there were many blue-black marks on the tips of his fingers, which were the unique colors of copper coins, which were stained by touching copper coins for a long time and with high frequency.

Judging from the reactions of others, Zhao San realized that things were not good, and he didn't know that he had copper marks on his hands.

Lin Xiangyu said loudly: "Zhao San! After you stole the money, you re-wore all the 500 copper coins all night, deliberately turning their backs to each other, leaving traces, just waiting for the official to judge this string of money to you!

Zhao San was so frightened that his legs were weak, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, telling how he heard the sound of copper coins colliding in the hawker's baggage when he was sleeping in the bunk, and judged that this was a lot of money...... and so on, like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

Lin Xiangyu convicted Zhao San of stealing, 40 canes, and 15 days.

The woman who said that Liu Er was a profiteer before, but at this time she said loudly: "My lord, although this Zhao San stole things, he is really pitiful, blind and has no skills, he makes a living by selling art in a roadside restaurant, and if the weather is bad and he can't meet people, he can only go hungry, and he has no choice but to steal money, if he can eat and clothe himself, why steal money?" My lord, although the national law is used to punish evil, it is also used to educate people's hearts, if you can't eat enough and don't have enough clothes and warmth, then if you beat a Zhao San, there will be thousands of Feng San and Li San in the future, my lord, you should open the net and let him go. ”

"Oh, let him go?" Lin Xiangyu looked at the woman and nodded: "Who are you?"

The woman knelt down in a dignified manner: "The concubine is Yin Qing, a teacher of Qingbai Academy in the city. ”

It turned out to be a woman who had read a book, and it looked very difficult, and sure enough, Lin Xiangyu showed an annoyed look, the previous judgment was nothing, and the most difficult thing was that these people who had read books and read half-heartedly felt that they could guide the country.

If you are not careful, you have to be arranged by them in various ways, maybe just like Pan Mei and Chen Shimei in foreign countries, because they offended the literati, they were written, and they were scolded for eternity.

Lin Xiangyu has always regarded himself as an engineering student and tried to avoid conflicts with liberal arts students, but he is not afraid of conflicts when there is really a conflict.

He looked at Yin Qing and said with a smile: "So, Mr. Yi said, if you steal something, as long as you are pitiful, you can not be punished?"

Yin Qing still said loudly: "Adults should educate people's hearts, not rely on punishment to make people afraid. ”

Lin Xiangyu laughed loudly: "Sir, educate people's hearts, that's the business of saints, and punishment for breaking the law is the business of adults." Come on, drag Zhao San down and hit forty boards!"

That board was sturdy and sturdy, and Zhao San screamed continuously.

After the fight, Lin Xiangyu looked directly at Yin Qing: "Mr. is the teacher of Confucius and Mencius, the saint's disciple, if you want to come, you will get the teachings of the sage, why don't you take this Zhao San back by Mr. and teach him well?"

The income of the academy depends on the students, where can he raise another idler, Yin Qing has to shut up and not answer.

Feng Ge, who was standing on the side, said with a smile: "It turns out that Mr. Yin is also a giant of words, a dwarf of action, and it is not Mr. Yin's money that he steals, but Mr. Yin is happy to educate people generously, as soon as he says that he is going to spend his own money, why did Mr. Yin become dumb?"

Yin Qing left in shame.

Liu Er received the money and left with a thousand thanks.

Back in the back hall, Feng Ge saw Lin Xiangyu gulping cold water into his mouth, and she stepped forward: "I can't see it, you used to have such a majestic time." ”

"What, as soon as that Yin Qing came out, I was almost scared to death. Lin Xiangyu's voice was trembling, and it was really not scared to death in the adjective sense, "Don't you know, the Qingbai Academy used to make trouble, and it was a big trouble, and in the end, it was suppressed by the soldiers of the King of Law's Mansion, although it was not my appointment." However, the magistrate in the back was also disheartened and didn't want to do it because of this!"

He took another big sip of water: "When I heard the four words of Qingbai Academy just now, I almost wanted to let Zhao San go directly." ”

Those who should be punished were punished, those who should have left left, and the officials who came out to stand on duty also went home from work.

Lin Xiangyu wanted to ask Qi Shu'an to bring the case file just now and file it, but no one even shouted a few times, and one of the officials who hadn't left heard it and replied: "Master Qi's book will go out as soon as it is scattered." ”

"Where did you go?"

"I'm a little official, where will he tell me? Lord Zhixian, I'll go back too, I'll see you tomorrow. ”

The front and back yards were quiet again, Lin Xiangyu wanted to stand up, but he didn't stand up in pain, it seemed that at that moment, it was really hit hard, Feng Ge hurriedly asked, "Why are you going?"

"The case file must be on the court, I'll go get it back. Lin Xiangyu rubbed his waist and grinned.

Seeing him get up from the chair with great difficulty, his forehead was already covered with cold sweat, Feng Ge really couldn't stand it, and said, "Don't move, I'll go get it." ”

The case file was indeed resting on the bookcase next to the lobby, which was too casual, what if someone took it away...... Like, in fact, take it away, it's nothing particularly important.

Thinking so, Feng Ge returned to the study, and as soon as he stepped into the door, he heard a sound of "fluttering and lala" flapping his wings, as well as a few "cooing" pigeon calls, and the figure of a pigeon stood silently outside the closed window.

Lin Xiangyu seems to want to get up and open the window for it, how can he be disabled now, and he can lift his ass from the chair, which is already sweating from pain, not to mention walking six steps to the window and raising his hand to open the window?

For the current Lin Xiangyu, six steps is across thousands of mountains and rivers, which can be described as the end of the world.

Seeing Feng Ge coming in from outside the door, Lin Xiangyu's face changed slightly, and he said with a smile: "The wild pigeons that came from nowhere are cooing here endlessly, it's really annoying." ”

"I don't see it, the pigeons live in flocks, and the wild pigeons will not be left alone, if the pigeon is not yours, I am afraid that it is a pigeon raised by someone's family, and there may be important letters. Feng Ge said, strode towards the window, pushed open the window, and a white-feathered carrier pigeon with black ink spots on its body stood there, looking very bad.

As soon as the window opened, it fluttered and flew to Lin Xiangyu's head, dropped a bubble of, jumped on the table again, and lay down.

"Your Highness, look, you shouldn't open the window, and destroy it when you come in, ouch, my map, you get out of the way for me!" Lin Xiangyu nervously looked at the half-finished map pressed under the pigeon, and sighed again: "Since His Highness has the virtue of a good life, let it in, I see that it seems to be tired and hungry, it must have flown far away, and there is still some rice in the kitchen, so I bother His Highness to catch some for it." ”

I always felt that something was wrong, Feng Ge was puzzled, but he didn't say it, turned around and left the study.

As soon as Feng Ge left, Lin Xiangyu hurriedly grabbed the carrier pigeon and took out a roll of bamboo core paper as thin as a cicada's wings from the thin bamboo tube on its feet.

The Great Heng Law, these three articles, are all capital crimes for conspiracy.

"Your Highness, forgive your sins. Lin Xiangyu shook his clothes and knelt down on the spot, but because his back injury was too serious, he lost his center of gravity and fell directly to the ground.

Feeling that he was being deceived, Feng Ge was a little annoyed in his heart, and he didn't help him, nor did he call him up, just looked at him lying on the ground coldly.

Feng Ge took out the bamboo core paper from his hand and unfolded it, which read: "There is a fear of war on the border, quickly prepare food, recruit troops, and repair the city defense." There are spies in the palace of the king of law, be careful. Quickly persuade His Highness to leave. There was no signature, but Feng Ge recognized this delicate font, which was round and beautiful at every turn, and it was as sharp as a knife blade.

"Hehe, it's really like a person. Feng Ge's mind couldn't help but appear again that gentle and elegant, but there was a compelling and heroic old classmate Du Shuyan hidden between his eyebrows.

For a long time, this old classmate has been famous in the circle of noble sons in the capital for not caring about political affairs and being frail and sick.

His most famous deeds are the champion in the title of the gold list, but on the day of the Golden Palace, he was seriously ill, and he was sick for more than two months.

With Du Shuyan's talent, as well as his noble concubine's sister, Hubu Shangshu's father's strong family background, everyone thinks that among the six departments, he is not allowed to choose, he can't be a scholar, he can't be a waiter, he can't be a scholar, or he is a right inheritor, there is no pressure at all.

One step is late, one step is late, there are many fat and lack of people, who has not hollowed out his mind to drill into a good place, two months have passed, and now all the vacancies have been filled, even if it is the current saint, it will not create an official position for Du Shuyansheng, so he has to be put in the Hanlin Academy as an editor at will.

said that it was an editor, who in the Hanlin Academy didn't know his identity, and they all said that he just didn't have a suitable position for a while, so he would be here to keep his head in obscurity.

So, because he was so happy to eat and wait for death in the Hanlin Courtyard, he lingered every day to eat, drink and have fun, and went in and out of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, everyone thought he was a swinger brother.

If he hadn't seen this note today, even Feng Ge would have been kept in the dark by him.

I thought that with my relationship with him, even if I didn't talk about everything, at least I wouldn't have a feeling of being deceived miserably.

Feng Ge was very angry, and the consequences were serious.
