Chapter 388: The Father and the Son (II)

Since he did Ying Tianfu's errand, Zhu Wenkui has not had a good sleep for so many days, even if the case has been completed, but after he returned to the Qianqing Palace, he was stunned and lay on the bed for a long time, physically and mentally exhausted, but still unable to sleep.

In the end, the irritable Zhu Wenkui sat up, changed his clothes and walked out of the warm pavilion, standing in the corridor and looking west, he could still see that Zhu Yunwen's room was still lit.

When he first arrived, at this time, Zhu Yunwen had not slept yet.

After hesitating for a while, Zhu Wenkui took a step towards the west, and the eunuchs who were keeping vigil along the road bowed down one after another, but they were careful not to make a sound.

He wasn't stopped until he walked outside the door.

"The eldest prince waits."

After that, he hurriedly turned around and went into the house to say goodbye, and soon turned around and respectfully invited Zhu Wenkui into the house.

"Erchen has seen his father."

Under the reflection of the candle flame, Zhu Wenkui saluted.

Zhu Yunwen raised his head, a little puzzled: "You don't rest in the house, what are you going to run here at this time." ”

"Didn't my father rest either?"

When he really did a bad job, Zhu Wenkui suddenly thought that his father should be very tired on weekdays.

Every day in the palace, when he sleeps, Xinuan Pavilion is always lit, and when he wakes up, Zhu Yunwen must have woken up.

"Come on, after approving this stack, you go to bed early, don't stay up late at a young age, it's not good for your body."

"Keerchen can't sleep."

As soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was full of what happened during the day, and Zhu Wenkui told the original story of the trial during the day.

But Zhu Yunwen's response was as bland as it was at the beginning.

"Isn't that nice?"

At this time, Zhu Wenkui also put down his pen, no longer buried his head in the case notebook, looked at Zhu Wenkui and smiled.

"Good boy, then just finish this matter, the criminal is punished, the real murderer is caught, you find out the truth, this is a good thing, tomorrow I will let the Shangshan Bureau make a table of good dishes and reward you."

"But if it weren't for the means used by Erchen, the truth would not have been found."

Zhu Wenkui sighed: "Erchen listened to Xu Butang's suggestion, and he did it in the way of handling this case as an unjust, false and wrongful case, and it was only by mistake that he cleared the fog, although it proved that Zhang Dongsheng was indeed guilty, but he was not happy at all."

Moreover, Erchen was very puzzled, why Zhang Dongsheng's father did not choose to let the housekeeper of his house take the blame, he was the Langzhong of the Ministry of Officials, and he had a great future, but he resolutely chose to die. ”

Children are always like a book of 100,000 whys, trying to figure out all the questions.

"As long as the truth is ascertained, then the means don't matter."

Zhu Yunwen said with relief: "If it weren't for these methods you used, then the innocent Xiao Er would have been framed and died, didn't you save him, so don't you have to think about this matter anymore."

As for why Zhang Dong is like this, human nature is unpredictable and difficult to understand, you have to think for yourself, I can't say it well. ”

Seeing that Zhu Yunwen was reluctant to say more, Zhu Wenkui spoke.

"My father asked his sons to go to Yingtianfu on an errand, and he had already thought in advance that his sons would encounter these things, so that his sons knew that people's hearts were sinister and dark.

When making mistakes, the first thing that comes to mind is not to accept punishment willingly, but to use all means to complicate the originally clear and simple case, trying to confuse the government, and even at the expense of turning black into white, killing Ma Xiaobao to protect himself. ”

Zhu Wenkui expounded the incomprehension in his heart according to his own ideas: "And Zhang Dong, as Zhang Dongsheng's father, was worried that his son Dongfeng would be difficult to rise to the throne, so he tried his best to help protect his son, and both father and son are the kind of selfish people who only have their own interests in their eyes.

But this kind of person, why would he be willing to die for others, Zhang Dong is willing to take the blame for his son, but why is he guilty for the subordinates in the house, if he is so great, how can he be like a snake and scorpion in the previous matter. ”

Zhu Yunwen took a sip of water and smiled very gratefully.

can doubt, showing that his purpose of letting Zhu Wenkui do the errand has been achieved.

"When you leave the palace and leave the academy, then everything you see is the most real thing in this world."

Zhu Yunwen taught: "The palace is your home, the school is the place where you study, and all the places you go except these two places have a common name, and I named it 'Society'."

Society is a complex amalgamation, in which darkness and light are entangled, not hostile and confrontational, but mutually reinforcing.

There are wicked people in society who can make you hate to the point of anger, and there are good people who can move you to tears, and most likely, the wicked and the good are the same person.

The Zhang family father and son did not care about the people's feelings, and tried their best to kill an innocent person, the purpose was just to let the people who should have been punished by the law of the country escape punishment, they made a seamless coat, so that you can not see any clues, this is not a case, but a true portrayal of the conflict between the owner and the people.

You can handle one case, can you handle ten hundred cases?

Nanjing's can be done, but what about the locality?

I tell you that the truth of all similar cases in the world is hidden in a lot of fog, whether it is a person like Ma Xiaobao who is blackmailing, or a powerful person like Zhang Dongsheng who is framing, no one knows.

But if you have to look at it, the result will always be the blackmail of the people, because the people can't play with the powerful, especially in the law.

The purpose of I asked you to go to Yingtianfu is to let you see it with your own eyes, and you can go to Xu Buji, which shows that you are still smart and can recognize your identity, that is, don't be bound by the case itself. ”

In the words of later generations, it is the judge's business to uphold the sanctity of the law.

It is the prosecutor's business to find out the truth of the case.

And these two things, none of them should be done by Zhu Wenkui, the prince.

That master had already told Zhu Wenkui how to deal with similar cases.

A procrastination is the best solution to deal with similar cases in this era.

Otherwise, it must be the common people who are clearly guilty in the end.

Whether it is a local county order or a central emperor, they are all human beings, not gods.

I can't even see the truth of the case itself, let alone peel back the cocoon in this kind of case, and fairly punish every party according to the crime.

The so-called clarification of the fault of the plaintiff and the defendant is a good proposal, but the idea is too naïve and simplistic.

Because of this kind of behavior, it will only kill Ma Xiaobao.

There is no monitoring, no recording, and the technical means of physical evidence investigation and evidence collection are not as good as those of later generations.

All evidence is either based on the reasoning of the officials who tried the case themselves, or on the oral statements of the parties when the case is tried in court.

After that, the officials who tried the case even bluffed, intimidated, or used clichés to make one party leak their mouths, and after grabbing the handle, they were severely tortured, and the case was solved.

Once the children of a powerful person like Zhang Dongsheng are involved in the case, it is unrealistic for Ma Xiaobao to win the lawsuit.

As for what if it is said that the people deliberately blackmailed the powerful.

It's still that word, drag.

Not everyone has a strong mental quality to pass every hall safely, without showing a trace of horses' feet, and not everyone has the courage to break their arms and legs.

And has the courage to hurt one's limbs, and it is faster to rob the road to make money.

dragged on for a few months, whether it was blackmail or really injured, and it came to light.

And a common man with excellent psychological qualities and the courage to dare to harm himself still hopes that he can meet a county order similar to Zhu Wenkui, and all kinds of factors are superimposed to ensure the success of this blackmail.

Zhu Wenkui retreated thoughtfully and left, while Zhu Yunwen, who watched the former leave, looked sideways at Shuangxi, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

In fact, how did Zhu Wenkui know that the master of the torture room was still a spy from the West Factory!
