Chapter 405: A dilemma
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Mrs. Meng shook her head and denied Meng Ye's suggestion, "Where has this rebel been hiding these days?" Let us rummage through the entire Yancheng gambling houses, no one can be seen, and now it suddenly appeared, and it was also picked when the prince left Yancheng, and Fu'er was about to give birth when he ran out to complain, the timing was so good, it was not like he could come up with it alone, if he really had no one to support, how could the Yancheng Mansion take such a picture lightly? It's an old case more than ten years ago, where can I find human and physical evidence? How easy is it to convict the lord of your crimes, besides, this rebel is not crazy, he still has a large family that wants us to help support him, if he really wants to convict the lord of your crime and tear his face, what good can he do? This sue for the love between father and son, and our family's wealth will not fall into his hands."
Da Zhou has always been strict with filial piety, the father is not guilty of killing the son, but the son suing the father is a serious crime, the meritorious will be removed from the meritorious name and will never be hired, and the common people will be beaten a hundred big boards, this hundred big boards must be seriously beaten down, and it is almost the same if you don't die, so there is no one who really dares to sue, there is no one for ten years, and occasionally there are real grievances, and the story is enough to be written into a script and sung for a while.
In addition, unless the facts of the case are clear, and it can be famous all over the world after it is broken, there is no government that will accept such a case, most of the exhortations and scare are turned into small things, even if there is such an unfilial son who sues his father, even if the grievances are deep, it is also a shame for the local and family members, and the righteous killing of relatives is not applicable at all times.
Meng Shen dared to be so bold, there must be someone behind him.
Who the main messenger is, it may be difficult to find out for a while, but the purpose is obvious, if you don't tell sooner or later, you will tell at this juncture. It is clearly to stimulate Xiaofu.
Thinking of Meng Xiaofu, Mrs. Meng immediately asked a stern question, "Master, is the death of Xiaofu's biological mother really not suspicious?"
"What do you mean, how many times have I told you, the death of Xiaofu's biological mother has absolutely nothing to do with me. You still don't believe me, and I can't help it." Meng Ye was angry and rushed at Mrs. Meng first.
"Sir. Now it's not a question of whether I believe it or not." Madame Meng sighed, "The key is what Xiaofu or even an insignificant outsider thinks of it, if the government suffers from your rebellious son. If I really want to come to you for questioning, even if I can't find out anything afterwards, the rumors will be very unbearable."
Meng was also shocked, this is. The so-called rumors are like this, and people will not believe that the accused are absolutely innocent. There is no conclusive evidence to convict or something, and they are more willing to believe that there is no reason for nothing.
Thinking about it made him even more headache. Said: "How should that be, you have always had a lot of ideas, hurry up and think of a way. It's something that affects our whole family."
Mrs. Meng thought for a long time, and then told Meng Ye. Yancheng Mansion Yin told him about this, even he was embarrassed, he didn't know how to accept this case, if he didn't accept it, that rebel son was shouting everywhere in the yamen, and if someone put pressure on him, even he would be dragged into the water, and if he took it, he would offend the Meng family and the entire Dingwang Mansion, and he couldn't afford a small Yancheng Mansion Yin, so he definitely hoped that we could take this case in private like a method."
"Makes sense." Meng also thought about it and said, "Otherwise, let's find that rebel to appease him and give him some silver, even if it lasts for a while, when Xiaofu gives birth to a child and the prince returns home, things will be much easier."
"That's not going to work." Mrs. Meng resolutely denied, "I don't know who is behind it, do you have a handle in the hands of others, the silver is only afraid that it will not work, and even as soon as this silver is given, it is the evidence of your weak heart, the reason why the main messenger is not shouting everywhere now, I am afraid that this is the intention, first to catch you with a weak heart, and then make a big fuss, step by step, so that you are speechless."
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what's the matter?" Meng is also irritable and walks around the house, this is really more tiring than fighting, fighting is really not good, rushing up, you can also fight a bloody way, now this is really only a share of people to fight, think about it and hold your breath, I knew that this was the case, when the rebel found the door, he would tie it up and send it to the countryside to watch it well, so as not to let him have a chance to break in.
Madame Monte couldn't think of a cure for a while.
When the couple was helpless, they heard someone report that the palace had sent someone to send something.
Mrs. Meng and Meng also glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Someone will come in soon."
I don't know if the people in Dingwang's mansion have heard the wind, this is the time to test.
It is not Mama Qing who often goes back and forth between the two mansions, but the grass that has been following the princess, Mrs. Meng knows, green vine, Luo Cao, these two are the two most powerful maids around Xiaofu, there are not many things, but they are especially important, among them, the green vine feels more powerful to others, and she shows up for everything, such as the maid's hands and feet are not sharp, the old people in the house rely on the old and sell the old, etc., all of them are green vines come forward to scold.
And Luo Cao seems to be much more obscure, most of the time just standing aside and listening to the call, quietly, not even saying a word, it seems that in front of the princess, it is better to use it than to celebrate Mama.
Others underestimate the grass, but Mrs. Meng did not, as a person who killed in the cruel inner house struggle, she knows better that the dog that barks does not bite, the more inconspicuous people look at, the critical moment will play a big role, in the past, many henchmen around her are like this, the so-called henchmen are specifically for the master to do some secret things, if the body is branded with the word confidant, it will be tied up.
At this time, Rosegrass came to deliver something, obviously with ulterior motives.
In order to prevent some things, Meng was also there, and Luo Cao was inconvenient to say, so Mrs. Meng first asked Meng Ye to avoid it in the back room.
After the rosewood came, Mrs. Meng first made a casual and enthusiastic look, served tea and snacks to entertain the rosewood, very warm, and then . [,! I asked Xiaofu about the current situation, how the people in the Dingwang Mansion were, and so on.
Rosegrass answered one by one, as usual, without saying a word.
Slowly, Mrs. Meng was a little anxious, and wanted to send the maid out of the hall to talk to Luo Cao alone, but Luo Cao said that there were many affairs in the palace, and she had to go back to serve quickly.
Mrs. Meng kept repeatedly, but Rosegrass insisted on leaving.
After all, it's just a little maid, and it's inconvenient for Mrs. Meng to deliver it to the door in person.
As soon as the grass left, Meng also came out immediately. Anxiously asked, "Why did you just let her go without asking anything?"
Mrs. Meng sighed: "After a few tentative words, she obviously doesn't know anything, how can she ask?" If you ask, the matter will easily reach Xiaofu's ears, and it will be even worse."
Meng also thought about it and made sense, and suddenly became anxious again.
Husband and wife go back to the room twice. Madame Monte immediately closed the door. Once you're sure no one is eavesdropping, sneak out a sticky note.
Meng was also surprised: "This is ......"
Halfway through the conversation, I thought that the partition wall has ears. He immediately shut his mouth, this girl Luo Cao is so sneaky, naturally he wants to prevent someone in the house from having a headache, of course he can't call it out. Lean forward to look at the one-word wide note. Only a few words were written, 'If the son sues the father, he must first hit a hundred boards.'
The couple immediately looked at each other again.
In the end, Meng has a lot of things, and his judgment in major matters is stronger than that of Mrs. Meng. reacted immediately, and the method of forcing the rebel to withdraw the form was naturally to scare with a hundred boards.
If this rebel is willing to withdraw the form honestly. As soon as he leaves the palace gate, he will be tied back immediately. His own son, can he still turn over flowers in his own hands? He, the former general, could really take his family back to the countryside to farm.
In this way, the damage can be minimized, even if a little rumor comes out, it is just a rumor, people talk about it after dinner, there are many rumors in Yancheng, as long as the situation does not continue to unfold, after two days, there will be new rumors to cover up this.
His rebel, he knows, the bones are not so hard, and he will definitely not be able to hold up this hundred boards, as long as the rebel can't hold it and beg for mercy halfway, this Yancheng Mansion Yin can logically not take this case and expel this rebel from the gate of the mansion, and then he tied his son back, who dares to say anything?
Even if someone is pointing at the back, it is just pointing and pointing, compared to the secretive, this method is much stronger than the side one.
As a general who has been decisive, Meng Ye is still very judgmental, knowing that there is no way to have the best of both worlds for some things, the important thing is to make a decision immediately, and the strong man will break his wrist.
After Yin Zhuying of Yancheng Mansion saw the letter handed over by his wife Pei, his brows suddenly tightened.
This is not the result he wants, what he wants is that the best thing for both parties is to settle things, Meng Ye will find a way to get his son to withdraw the case, as long as Meng Shen withdraws the case, no matter what the reason, the whole thing has nothing to do with him, he really doesn't want to get involved in this case.
Of all the prefectures and cities in this Great Zhou Dynasty, the Mansion Yin of Yancheng is the most difficult, not to mention having the ability to solve tricky cases, but also being tactful, knowing how to balance the interests of all parties, and not offending any of the noble courtiers and even their seven aunts and eight aunts and so on.
He was transferred back to Yancheng to report on his work, he was ambitious, wanted to make a difference, and thought that he could enter the Criminal Department or Dali Temple and other places where he could make the best use of things, but as a result, the previous Yancheng Mansion Yin suddenly fell ill, and there was a tricky case that urgently needed to be solved by God.
He was recommended by his teacher to temporarily take over the Yancheng Mansion Yin, and accepted the intricate case, the case itself is gone, but it is not a difficult to solve the strange case, Yancheng people gathered, there must be a lot of sharp-eyed people, but the case involved a lot of powerful people, not only to solve the case, but also to give justice to the deceased, but also to take care of the face of some of the powerful people involved in the case.
He racked his brains to understand the case satisfactorily, and he thought that he could rely on this case that went straight to Tianting to be more reused, but it turned out to be important to reuse, and the saint thought that he was a talent, suitable for being this Yancheng Mansion Yin, so he let him fill this hole.
It's really unfortunate to say that after serving two consecutive terms, everyone thinks that he has done a great job, and this position belongs to him, so he has always been allowed to stay in office.
The performance appraisal is excellent every year, the boss praises, the people agree, but he can't be promoted, Zhu Yingzhen feels that he must have missed any cases in his last life, and he has not made mistakes in this life, but he has to suffer a lot.
If Yin of other small places can't be promoted in his life, he is more convinced by bad luck, and no matter how small the local government is, it is also a merit to benefit the people.
But in this Yancheng, he has to spend more than half of his efforts to deal with these intertwined nepotism and appease the royal relatives one by one.
It's only to blame him for having some ambition and some ability, but his bones are not hard enough to completely ignore these people, risking his own future and the lives of his whole family, and he doesn't even have the courage to hang the seal and leave.
Nowadays, this case is tricky at first glance, but it may not be too difficult to detect, and the only difficulty is the people and things involved behind the case.
For so many years, Yancheng Mansion Yin, he knew from the moment he received the complaint that this case was just a cover, and someone wanted to use this case to make trouble, and he was unfortunately selected to become a leading bird.
The old case more than ten years ago, he knew at a glance that in such a case, most of the deceased died unjustly, and after looking at some files, he was even more sure that which abandoned woman who went down to the court was also considered to have done a lot of evil, just being abandoned was cheap for her, such a person is. [,! Killed or killed, he really didn't have any interest in knowing.
As for the defendant in the case, Meng Ye, judging from his years of experience in judging cases, he is by no means innocent.
But the current thorny problem is that Meng is already a fourth-grade official, not to mention his level, he also has a daughter who is a princess, and there are many relatives and friends who have higher official positions than him.
It is impossible to detain Meng Ye to the court for interrogation like ordinary civilians, and it is difficult to find a lot of physical evidence and the like, and more importantly, he doesn't want to fall for the tricks of people with intentions.
It's just that as the governor of the government, someone handed over the case, and the case was under his jurisdiction, so he couldn't help but accept it.
After thinking about it, he thought that Mrs. Pei and Meng Ye's wife had a few encounters, and they had a little friendship, so before officially accepting the case, he asked Pei Shi Xun to inform Mrs. Meng, let the Meng family know that there was this matter, and let them find a way to solve it by themselves, not to go to court, it has nothing to do with him, whatever they do.
Unexpectedly, Meng Ye was a rough man, and reacted so quickly, and immediately replied to the rules of a big week, and asked him to hit Meng Shen 100 boards first according to the law of the calendar.
Isn't this a plan for him to beat that rebel to death? This threw the problem to him, Meng Shen's body bones are not strong, a hundred big boards really want to be beaten down, it is definitely a human life, if he puts some water, Meng Shen will definitely bite it, no matter how Meng Shen is, he will go to half a life, and he will not be a human being inside and outside at that time.
It's difficult left and right, this is definitely the most difficult case for him to come to Yancheng Mansion Yin. (To be continued)
