Chapter 130: The Thief's Heart Doesn't Die
These things that happened in the palace emperor Que point, in Xia Xun's position is not felt at all, he only knows that Peng Zichu carried a sachet and saw Xu Zengshou, the third son of Zhongshan Palace, Xu Zengshou went to Yingtianfu, and then he was let back, thinking that this matter was all thanks to Xu Zengshou's help, and he didn't think about what the background of the person to be rectified was, and how many connections were used in Zhongshan Wangfu in the turmoil after that.
In fact, when things come to this point, even if he is willing to give up and would rather accept any sanctions, Zhongshan Wangfu will never give up, Zhongshan Wangfu has already intervened, this is not Xia Xun's personal matter, it is related to the dignity of Zhongshan Wangfu, and he has to go all out.
After Xia Xun returned to Moling Town, he also made careful preparations to prepare for the retrial ten days later.
As for human witnesses, the first eyewitnesses were those subordinates in his house, in addition to the workers and craftsmen who were hired to clean the house, and the physical evidence was the tattered offering table that was cleaned up, and the deceased mother's spirit card that was still stained.

These days, the officials and lords of Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, the Hanlin Academy, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Rites have not been idle, and the particularity of this case has made it the key to a fierce debate and controversy between the courtiers.
Later, Huang Zicheng was very sad to find that he could no longer control the situation, and no one could control the situation, the plaintiff and the defendant in this case have been automatically ignored by those gleeful officials, they are scholars, and they like to delve into the social significance and academic value hidden under the surface of this case.
When filial piety and national law are in conflict, how can the two be harmonious and harmonious without contradicting each other?
The focus of dialectics is finally focused on this point, although the core of governing the country in various dynasties in history is still the law, but they are all packaged with Confucianism, or external Confucianism and internal law, or all yang Confucianism and yin law, but even if everyone knows it, this Legalist thing can never be put on the table, therefore, Confucianism is the keynote, is the core of the law.
Confucianism, on the other hand, focuses on reason, heavenly principle, national law, and human feelings, and the three must be unified. The law of Confucianism has always required law enforcers to straighten out the people's feelings in accordance with heaven, bend the law and stretch it out, and follow the scriptures and righteousness to break the guilt. Those who are good and violate the law will be exempted, and those who will be evil and conform to the law will be punished. That is, the subjective motive is good, and there is no guilt in breaking the law. The subjective motive is evil, and only when it is lawful to kill can the evil be punished and the good can be promoted.
Therefore, since ancient times, there have been many behaviors that seem to be illegal, but are allowed by law, such as cohabitation and concealment (if someone in the family commits a crime, they can hide it for him, and they do not have to bear the burden of accusation and proof, except for the crime of great rebellion), the son does not say his father's fault, retains his relatives, and convicts him in five services.
This is the unique Chinese law composed of the three elements of Tianli, Guoju, and legal conditions for thousands of years, and it is unusually stable, and no one has ever broken it until the era of the Ming Dynasty.
And Yang Xu took possession first: private property is included, and others are forbidden to occupy it; He also occupies righteousness, and the temple of his parents is humiliated, and he who is the son of man should wash the snow himself, which is filial piety.
And the so-called claims of the Yang Di people, beatings, humiliation, killing of ploughing cattle, etc., all of them were caused by their mistakes first, and they violated the way of righteousness, so all the consequences should be borne by themselves, and Yang Xu should not be punished.
Before the results of this debate came out, Wang Hongrui had already written the verdict, and he didn't care what those people were irritable, Xu Zengshou had already brought the righteous words of the imperial grandson, and the emperor said that the meaning of the imperial grandson is the emperor's meaning, then this is the emperor's dictation, how do you discuss it is your business, and my old king recognized one point: follow the above, absolutely can't be wrong!
Therefore, Xia Xun's second ascension trial was a complete victory without surprise. Old man Yang, who had been arguing that he was slapped in the face, rushed to catch up with his old face, and under the attention of countless people in the government and the opposition, he was once again slapped with a loud slap, and this time he finally really fell ill.
The arrogance of the Yang family was suddenly suppressed, and now a subordinate in Xia Xun's mansion went out with his chest up, raising his eyebrows, and the people of the Yang family took a detour when they saw the people in their family, and the people with foreign surnames in Moling Town were even more enthusiastic about them.
Xia Xun, Peng Zichu, and Xiao Di stood under the shade of the willows, looked at the shelves of the houses that had been erected in their yards, and said, "We just came back, and it will be done at this point, and it is not appropriate to have any major conflicts with the Yang clan for the time being." Although the house was being worked on day and night, it would take some time to build it, and in the next two days I wanted to go to the house that my father had set up when I was a child, meet the family members, and agree on the date of marriage. β
Peng Zichu said: "I'll go with you." β
"Nope."
Xia Xun paused, held her hand, squeezed it gently, and said with a smile: "Steward Xiao is the most familiar with the situation of his family, so he has to accompany me, although these people in our old Yang family have eaten a stick, they may not have the courage to dare to make trouble, but they are not afraid of 10,000, just in case, how can no one here watch it?" β
Xiao Di puffed up his chest and said, "I'm here!" β
Xia Xun glanced at her, Xiao Di stuck out his tongue, and said with a red face: "Hmm...... Then I'll stay at home with my sister. β
Xia Xun smiled, turned to Peng Zichu again, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, if you should see it, you will see it sooner or later, what I said to you will always be valid." β
"People aren't worried about that."
Peng Zichu was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Okay, you go, I'll do it...... Guarding the house. β
Xia Xun bowed his head and said: "Well, you pick out four gifts from King Yan tonight, and I will bring them with me tomorrow, and I will use them when I go to Xie's house." By the way, don't move the two average-sized walking beads. β
Peng Zichu was surprised: "Why? β
Xia Xun scratched her nose lightly, and said with a smile: "Because I see that you and Brother Ling are inlaid with beads on the handle of the knife, I estimate that the father-in-law in Qingzhou must like pearls, and those two walking beads will be used as a dowry when I am going back to Qingzhou to ask for marriage." β

Peng Zichu's face was like a pomegranate flower when he heard it, and he responded diligently, and the feeling of apprehension and sourness was swept away.
The carpenter on the ground next to him was beating the wood line with his eyes open, and when he heard this, he raised his head and glanced at him with a closed eye, and said in his heart: "My owner, I am really a master who can coax people!" β
"Young master, my young lady who has not passed through the door, how old is she this year, and what is her name?"
Xiao Di on the side couldn't look at the two of them, goosebumps fell all over the ground, and hurriedly interjected, lest the two of them look at each other and get tired of it. Peng Zichu was also wondering about the name of the eldest lady of the Yang family, and a pair of inquiring eyes also looked at him, Xia Xun subconsciously touched his waist, and the marriage book was hidden there.
"She, she's just twenty-eight this year, her name is Xie Luti, small characters...... Thank you ......."
"Thank you!"
Steward Xiao thanked the half-grown old man who was playing chess on the side of the road and returned to Xia Xun! "Young master, I heard that person say that the Xie family sold the house and moved away ten years ago."
"Moved out?"
Xia Xun was a little dazed, when he didn't see this unmarried lady, his heart was also drumming, I don't know whether she is frustrated or black or pockmarked face, what her appearance is, whether her temperament is gentle, whether her character is decent, I was worried all the way, I didn't expect to rush to this treasure gate, but they have moved away. Xia Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if her whereabouts are unknown, I won't be able to find her anymore, so I don't have to risk marrying her, right?
I heard Xiao Guan say: "Yes, the vicinity of this Jubaomen is a prosperous place, and I heard the old man say that the Xie family was relatively poor at that time, so they sold the property here and moved to the edge of the city where the land price was relatively cheap." Because it is always a shame to sell ancestral property, it is not easy for the original old neighbors to inquire about the specific place to move to, and they have not been in contact with each other for many years, let alone know. β
When Xia Xun heard this, his heart came up again: "It's still in Nanjing City, it's not good to pretend not to know, but Nanjing is not small, when will this be found?" β
Steward Xiao said: "Young master, let's go around the Sanshan Gate, Lao Xiao accompanied the old man to this alley once, and he signed the marriage book." Then I invited the Xie family to go out to eat, the location is in a restaurant on the side of the Sanshan Gate, listen to their tone of greeting with the store at that time, the restaurant shopkeeper and the Xie family should be very familiar friends, maybe he can find some news there, if it still doesn't work, then the young master will go back first, Lao Xiao made some money to find a few local idlers to help inquire. β
The two said as they walked along the Qinhuai River towards Sanshanmen.
Qinhuai River from Jubaomen to Jiming Temple this section is the most prosperous area, on the market, Qinhuai sixteenth floor stands majestically on the bank of the Qinhuai River, night and night sheng song continues, day and day silk bamboo sound, even under the governance of Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always been solemn, here is still the world of gold powder in the Southern Dynasty, drunk gold fans, merry everywhere.
Although the banks of the Qinhuai River are places of sound and horses, they are not all smoke streets and willow alleys, and many wealthy gentry and wealthy businessmen have also built houses here. In fact, during the Yuan Dynasty, Nanjing had fallen, Zhu Yuanzhang Dingzhong Plains, set up Jinling as the capital, and built a lot of construction, because of the huge cost, the imperial court could not come up with so much money, at that time the world's richest man Shen Wansan was also responsible for the reconstruction of half of Jinling City, and finally made Nanjing City the largest city in the world.
Wouldn't a city with a city without its people be a dead city? Zhu Yuanzhang used Qin Shi Huang's immigration trick again, and made a big move to the wealthy families and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, and moved 200,000 households in one go, 100,000 households moved to Fengyang, the central capital, and 100,000 households moved to Jinling.
In this way, Jinling finally regained its glory, high-rise buildings abound, and wealthy families can be seen everywhere.
The country under the Jiming Mountain, is the place where the aura of Jinling City is clocked, the students of this dynasty and the students who came to study abroad all gathered here to study and study. The building here is grand and magnificent, there is a main hall and fifteen rooms, called "Yilun Hall"; There are also six branch halls, which are upright, monastic, sincere, righteous, noble, and broad, and each hall has fifteen rooms; 14 library buildings; There are more than 1,000 residences for Thai students, more than 100 residences for foreign students, and more than 100 acres of lecture halls, shooting gardens, vegetable gardens, mills, warehouses, etc.
At this moment, in a bamboo forest behind the Guozijian Shooting Garden, there is a faint and elegant guzheng flowing out. Under the bamboo repair, there is a stone platform, a zither is placed horizontally on the stone platform, Huang Zicheng is wearing a white robe, sitting cross-legged on a futon, is slightly closed eyes, dialing the zither. Behind him, there stood a young man, dressed in a Confucian shirt, with a scarf in his hair, and his hands slightly arched over his chest.
"Zheng ......" Huang Zicheng gently put his hands on the strings of the zither and said slowly: "Yang Chong, your heart ...... It's not quiet. β
Yang Chong hurriedly bowed: "Sir......"
Huang Zicheng raised his hand, stroked his beard lightly, and smiled: "Confidants don't know each other, and defeat is inevitable." Who would have thought that he would actually know the people of Zhongshan Palace? The old man was also careless, he was taken advantage of by Xu Zengshou, and first went to seal the mouth of the imperial grandson, and after the imperial grandson learned the truth, he was really a little annoyed, but he had no jokes, and he was really helpless. β
Yang Chong hurriedly said: "Yes, this is a student's family matter, I didn't dare to work Mr., Mr. is so bothered, the student is already grateful, how dare he have the slightest complaint." β
Huang Zicheng snorted and said: "Although he took the path of Zhongshan Palace, he was able to get away with it, and in the end he still won a filial piety character." This thief is very cunning, but if you want to cure him, it is not impossible. β
Yang Chong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Please advise Mr." β
"Come here with your ears."
Huang Zicheng called him to him, whispered in his ear, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smug smile: "With the son's gift, the shield of the attacker, even if he is as cunning as a berry, at that time, he will either bow his head to his ear, or he will be ruined, is there a third way to go?" β
Yang Chong's face turned red with joy, and he said continuously: "Mr. is smart, Mr. is smart, Mr. is really Zhuge talent, the student knows how to do it." β
Huang Zicheng laughed, his big sleeves fluttered, and he walked away. Yang Chong hurriedly picked up the guzheng, just like a boy serving the qin, and followed behind step by step.
Half an hour later, Yang Chong left Guozijian and hurriedly appeared on Chengxian Street.
Yang Chong hurriedly walked for a while, looked around, and saw no acquaintances, so he hurriedly turned to the Qinhuai River.
Yang Chong passed through the alley with blue tiles and white walls of two wealthy families, and arrived at the bank of the Qinhuai River, where a small boat was tied under the willows by the river. At the bow of the boat, a little girl in a green dress and a red dress was playing in the water, and when she saw him coming, she hurriedly jumped up and said happily: "Childe, you are here." β
Yang Chong nodded, jumped on the boat with an arrow, lifted the curtain and entered the cabin, and heard a cry of surprise from inside: "Brother Chong, people have been waiting for you for a long time, and they have to get up and go back, why did you come." β
Immediately after Yang Chong's voice came: "Mr. must touch the qin, what can I do as a disciple?" β
The woman's voice said, "Is it Huang Zicheng's old man, this person is the most annoying." Brother Chong, people finally came out for a trip, but you have been delayed for too long, I have to go back immediately, or my father will scold me again when he sees that I have been out for a long time. β
Yang Chong said: "Scarlet, I came to tell you that there is an urgent matter, I have to go home immediately, and when I come back, I will set a time to be in love with you." β
The girl's shy voice said: "you, people are people who really care about you, but you only think about other people's bodies all day long......"
The two of them grinded their ears and temples, and they lingered for a while, and they didn't know how to make the woman happy, so Yang Chong hurried ashore again, the cabin curtain was slightly lifted, and half of the beautiful face that was shining with xia came out, and he said reluctantly: "Brother Chong, people are waiting for your letter." β
Yang Chong waved his hand at her and hurried away.
