108, into the hub
Sai Wu went out to find Yang Farui to teach him face-to-face. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sai Wu took a stick of incense and came back. Zhang Qiwei asked, "How is it?" ”
"Let the proprietor listen to the good news at home." Sai Wu said with great confidence.
After a few quiet days, Fu Yixing invited Zhang Qiwei to watch the excitement.
Zhang Qiwei thinks that there is something lively and beautiful, but the county still can't be sloppy. Zhang Qiwei went to the county office.
Zhang Qiwei is now a county lieutenant and can participate in the trial of the county office. It turned out that there was an adult and a teenager kneeling down in the hall. Adults are only in their thirties, and young are only fifteen or sixteen.
The plaintiff was the adult: "Please know that the county lord and the county lieutenant are in charge, and I will sue my nephew Yang Farui for disobedience." As a junior, I have no respect for my elders, and I even slapped my head with a brick. They want to kill me. ”
In the general environment of ruling the world with filial piety at that time, the following offenses were disobedient and would generally be sentenced heavily.
"You accuse him of disobedience, is he your nephew?" Fu Yixing asked.
"Yes, his father's name is Yang Qixing. It's my big brother. My name is Yang Qiwang. My father gave the names of the two brothers to prosperity. ”
"Since his father is your elder brother, you can go to your eldest brother to sue him and teach him a lesson in the family law. It seems that Yang Farui's father should not be much different in age from you? Or send Yang Qixing too, and I will sentence him to a crime of not being educated! Fu Yixing said.
"I don't know. My eldest brother is no longer alive now, otherwise I wouldn't have come to trouble my lord to administer justice. Yang Qiwang said.
"Your eldest brother is no longer alive?"
"Yes, last month, this disobedient son came back with the ashes of his eldest brother and sister-in-law." Yang Qiwang said.
"You say this, I think this Yang Farui is indeed disobedient. Yang Farui, the person next to you in this lobby who sued you is really your uncle? ”
"It's not. I went to their Yang's house today to beg for rice, and this man not only did not give alms, but also released vicious dogs to bite me. I hit his dog, and he came out and beat me, and I had no choice but to pick up a brick to defend myself. I didn't expect him to bully me as a beggar for food, and in the face of the bricks I was about to shoot, he didn't hide or dodge. I was just trying to scare him, and I slapped a brick on his head. I beg my lord to have mercy on my name Hanako. ”
"One said the defendant was his nephew, and the other said the plaintiff was not his uncle. According to the laws of the Celestial Empire, disobedience is punishable by at least a thousand miles of exile and a beating of more than fifty sticks. And if the defendant said that it was in self-defense, he was sentenced to five days' hard labour. You've embarrassed me! What good ideas does County Lieutenant Zhang have? Fu Yixing asked Zhang Qiwei.
When Zhang Qiwei was about to say his opinion, he found the cunning in Fu Yixing's eyes, and said very cooperatively: "My lord, this is really embarrassing. I usually hate disobedient and unfilial sons the most. Yang Farui must be severely punished. In this way, my lord, Yang Qiwang said that this Yang Farui is his nephew, a nephew who is disrespectful, and asks Yang Qiwang to write a written evidence, and there must be a direct evidence to prove the relationship between them. ”
"My lord, what you said reminded me that there is a birthmark on Yang Farui's buttocks, which can't be run away." Yang Qiwang said.
"Yes. Yang Farui, do you have a birthmark on your butt? Fu Yixing asked Yang Farui.
"It's true that I have a birthmark on my buttocks, but how can that prove that I'm his nephew?" Yang Farui was also reluctant to admit that Yang Qiwang was his uncle.
"My lord, I remembered, didn't this Yang Farui bring back the ashes of his parents, let's find this ashes and ask about their relationship." Zhang Qiwei said.
Zhang Qiwei's heart lit up now, and Sai Wu was really skilled. This Yang Qiwang is about to enter the hub. Earlier, Empress Wu Zetian, in order to suppress those who opposed her, appointed a group of cool officials. Two of them are the most vicious, one is called Zhou Xing, and the other is called Lai Junchen. They have used false accusations, accusations and inhumane criminal laws to kill many upright civil and military officials and civilians.
Once, a whistleblower letter was sent to Wu Zetian, the content of which was to accuse Zhou Xing of contacting someone to rebel. Wu Zetian was furious and ordered Lai Junchen to investigate the matter strictly. Lai Junchen, he muttered in his heart, he thought, Zhou Xing is a cunning and treacherous person, and he can't let him tell the truth with just a whistleblower letter; But if the results can't be found, the Queen Mother will blame her, and I can't afford to come to Junchen. What can I do? After thinking about it for a long time, I finally came up with a clever plan.
He prepared a sumptuous banquet and invited Zhou Xing to his home. Two of you, you persuade me to drink, and talk while drinking. After three rounds of drinking, Lai Junchen sighed and said: "Brother, I usually handle cases, and I often encounter some prisoners who do not admit their guilt, I don't know what the brother can do?" Zhou Xing said proudly: "This is not easy to do!" As he spoke, he took a sip from his glass. Lai Junchen immediately pretended to be very earnest and said, "Oh, please give me advice quickly." Zhou Xingyin smiled and said: "You find a big urn, roast it with charcoal fire around it, and then let the prisoners enter the urn, you find a big urn, roast it with charcoal fire around it, and then let the prisoners enter the urn, think about it, what prisoner does not confess?" Lai Junchen nodded yes again and again, and then ordered someone to bring a large urn, as Zhou Xing said, lit charcoal fire around it, and then turned back to Zhou Xing and said: "Someone in the palace secretly accused you of rebellion, and the upper side ordered me to investigate strictly." I'm sorry, but now I'll ask my dude to get into the urn himself. When Zhou Xing heard this, the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, and then he fell to the ground with a thud, kowtowing again and again: "I am guilty, I am guilty, I confess." ”
Yang Qiwang was also puzzled in his heart, this living person can speak, and the ashes of a dead person can also speak?
