Chapter 45: Gentlemen!
The lawyer's name is Guo Hong, a native of Yangzhai in Yingchuan, and the family biography "Little Du Lu", not long after he was elected to Chang'an as an official, he was stunned when he heard the words: "The first evil? Isn't it horse aid? And if you are easily condemned, I am afraid it will not be in accordance with the law......"
Kong Ren said impatiently: "What you are learning is "Little Du Lu" written by Du Yannian, right?" In my opinion, it is far less knowledgeable than his father Du Zhou's "Da Du Lu". ”
"Du Zhou said, where did the three-foot law come from? From the Emperor! In the past, the edict of the emperor of the Han family became the law, and today's edict of the emperor of the new room has also become an edict. ”
Since the establishment of the Wuwei Siming Mansion, from the chief of the Tongmu Hou Chen Chong, to the right Si Ming Kong Ren, the criterion for handling cases is based on Wang Mang's likes and dislikes, if it is not involved in the order, then judge for yourself, the law is just a rubber band, it can be tightened or loosened, and it can be played with casually, but it is really not true?
Kong Ren was ashamed to say: "It is the same today, if everything is done according to the law, what do you want our officials to do?" It is still necessary to be flexible in adjudicating cases. ”
In short, it is important to close this case as soon as possible, Kong Ren knew that the emperor's interest was in making rituals and making fun, so he pondered astronomy and geography and talked about the "Six Classics". The secretary entered the palace in the morning and came out in the evening, and he was indecisive for many years, but he did not care much about the daily complicated matters of provincial prison lawsuits.
This has led to a backlog of cases, all of which have been pushed to the side of Wuwei Siming, if Kong Ren has tried every case carefully in accordance with the law, he will not be tired to death! It's better to solve it in batches with a stroke of the pen.
Guo Hong is still a little cautious: "Right Si Ming, after all, the fifth Lun is a three-hundred-stone official, a county filial piety, if you don't find any evidence, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to convict rashly, right?" ”
"What's wrong?"
Kong Ren knew that this incident originated from Wuwei Si ordering Chen Chong to teach Yuan Shi a lesson, so he supported the county magistrate, let him be bold and make enemies with Yuan She, and let Yuan Juxian not be too arrogant.
However, considering that Chang'an Lou Hu and Du Ling Chen Zun, who were covering Yuan Shi, the two "Confucian heroes" who had officials and had a close relationship with the royal family, Si Mingfu could not beat Yuan Shi to death with a stick. Using a cronie to die on behalf of his son is the result of both sides being able to step down.
It's just that no one expected that Ma Yuan would release the ten thousand people in the Xiliu Pavilion and flee together.
Kong Ren was angry and wanted to clean up this house and implicate his family, but after a check, he found that this little superintendent actually had two 2,000-stone brothers who held real power. The Maoling Ma family has deep influence in Guanzhong, and their in-laws are intertwined, and they are even related to the royal family.
Can't be provoked, can't be provoked.
Compared with those behemoths, the fifth Lun, a filial and honest official, is just a small ant.
Kong Ren was dismissive of the identity of the fifth lun: "I have read the file, the fifth lun was born in the Haohan family, and the ancestors did not have any controls. His chief lieutenant, Yin Zhang Zhan, has never been valued by the Son of Heaven, and now Zhang Zixiao has been punished for the corruption of his county governor, and there is no voice in the court. ”
And since the fifth Lun entered the dynasty for more than a month, it seems that he has not found any special backers, and he has only gotten closer to a few Lang officials in the same county, and I heard that he also worshipped Yangxiong as a teacher.
When I think of Yangxiong Kongren, I feel ridiculous: "Those scribes often boast about Yangxiong, saying that he is a 'Kansai Confucius', in my opinion, he is just an incompetent Shuzhong Laosuo." ”
Back then, it was Kong Ren who led people to scare the old man so much that he jumped off the Tianlu Pavilion and broke his leg.
Since a few years ago, Yang Xiong has repeatedly shirked the praises and virtues that the Son of Heaven asked him to write, and he has long fallen out of favor and is very depressed. I heard that I didn't know what I could do, and I broke off my friendship with the national teacher, and I completely lost a high-powered friend.
What kind of apprentice does the master bring out, in Kong Ren's eyes, compared to the original involvement and Maoling Ma involved in this case, the fifth Lun is the best to grasp, since you are involved, it doesn't matter if you are innocent or not, it's you!
Kong Ren yawned and told Guo Hong and the others: "Close the case earlier, condemn him as the first evil, and Ma Yuan as an accomplice, and the Maoling Ma clan will be able to explain the past." ”
"Speaking of the fifth Lun, it's pitiful, there is no need to sentence too severely, just exile, the bitter cold land of Xihai County is short of people to defend!"
……
After being pushed and put in prison, Wu Lun only felt funny, and the day before yesterday he also gave wine and meat to Wan Xuan, and today it was his turn to be in prison.
This is really a pot from the sky, should I grit my teeth at that time, go into exile with Ma Yuan and Wan Xu, fall into the grass, get a Liang Shanshui to park out, and walk on the route of the wild uprising?
Fifth Lun shook his head secretly: "I have been treated like this if I haven't escaped, if I escape the crime, the situation of the Fifth Clan may be even worse, I am afraid that I will be severely skinned and cramped by these officials, accumulated for several months, ruined, and it is even more likely that I will never see my father again." ”
Although when Kong Ren tried the case, Wu Lun used the Spring and Autumn Prison Break to defend himself, and he said it well. And Wuwei Siming did not find any evidence to confirm that he was an accomplice, and with Ma Yuan's silk letter, the situation seemed to be safe.
But Fifth Lun did not dare to be optimistic at all.
It would be good if we strictly followed the Spring and Autumn Prison Break, but the new recklessness reached a certain level, and it completely became the rule of man, and the laws and regulations have almost become empty letters. For the same crime, people of different identities are sentenced to completely different sentences.
For example, if a folk light man like Wan Xuan robs people and robs, he will almost definitely abandon the market. If Ma Yuan touches the law, because of his family power and his brother's maintenance, he may raise it high and gently put it down, and serve two years of forced labor in Chang'an.
And people like Fifth Lun who are not up or down are most likely to be exiled to Xihai County, that is, Qinghai Lake in the later generations to serve hard labor.
If you want to get rid of sin, you don't rely on being proficient in the law and conclusive evidence, but whether it has a relationship or not, and whether you have a strong backer?
This was the "risk" that Fifth Lun had anticipated in advance, and before the Fifth Authority was summoned, he hurried home and arranged everything.
"Whether fame and favor are useful or not depends on this battle! I don't want to completely overturn the case, I just hope that I don't have to migrate, even if I lose my position as an official Lang, I can stay in Guanzhong and continue to run the clan! ”
Didn't eat or drink, hungry and thirsty, Fifth Lun gritted his teeth and trembled with wheat stalks in this cold prison, this time inexplicably supporting Ma and Wan Xuan, which was his biggest setback after crossing.
Then he couldn't help but scolded Ma Yuanlai: "You two are walking happily and chicly, but I am suffering from this crime, the most righteous person is clearly me!" I've made a note of this favor. ”
"But at the end of the day, who made me guilty?"
Fifth Lun laughed at himself, letting himself remember this lesson: "In this world, you are from a poor family for excesses, and people are light-hearted, it is a sin!" If the power is weak, it is even more of a crime! ”
……
"Sun Qing, what can the old man help?" When Yang Xiong came to eat and drink as usual, he was shocked to hear that the fifth Lun was imprisoned.
Jing Dan said to him: "Ziyun Weng, Bo Yu has expected it, Wang Wenshan has gone to beg Qiong Chenghou to come forward, I will go to find the giant deer Geng Chun, who is also a Lang official, Bo Yu has recently become more and more good with him and many Lang officials, we gathered together and went to Wuwei Si Ming Mansion to redress the grievances of Tongmu Hou, the momentum is bigger, or we can force the right Si Ming Kong Ren to put in." ”
I also have to go back to Liewei County, although the probability of Zhang Zhan coming forward is very low, but Jing Dan still has to try, he cherishes the friend of Fifth Lun very much.
Jing Dan didn't want Yang Xiong to worry too much: "As for Ziyun Weng, just wait for good news at home, and Boyu will be able to return tomorrow." ”
Yang Xiong watched everyone leave separately, leaving him silently on crutches and sighing in the courtyard.
"Yangziyun, you are really useless."
Yang Xiong likes the new disciple of the fifth Lun very much, treats himself politely, and eats wine and meat at home.
Gradually, the knowledge of teaching the Fifth Lun is no longer limited to dialects, but also includes the Five Classics, which Yang Xiong is familiar with but does not learn the teachings of righteousness. Fifth Lun's attitude towards learning is very similar to his, only reading the scriptures, not seeking to understand, but often can draw inferences from one another, and come up with two surprising words that make Yangxiong fall into thought.
Eating good meat and vegetables, his body and bones are slightly better than in the past, he should be able to live to the age of tomorrow, maybe slowly, he can persuade Wu Lun to learn "Taixuan" and "Fa Yan", which is Yang Xiong's wish.
Who would have thought that Wu Lun was innocently imprisoned, and after being called to the Wuwei Command Mansion, he has not been released yet.
Eight years ago, Yang Xiong had learned the cold and viciousness of Wuwei Si Ming, and it was uncomfortable to lie in prison with a broken leg and wail, and since then, Yang Xiong has begun to hide in the city, keeping a distance from the powerful, so as not to be affected again.
This time too, it stands to reason that he shouldn't have been involved......
But Yangxiong still can't help but be anxious, Wu Lun is eloquent and quick-witted, if Si Ming can be reasonable, don't worry. What they are afraid of is that they did the same as they did when they treated Yangxiong for "rebellion", they didn't give Wu Lun a chance to defend themselves at all, and the case was decided in a hurry.
Although Wang Long and Jing Dan, who are good friends with the Fifth Lun, are actively running to help the Fifth Lun get rid of the crime, even if it is said that the Marquis of Qiong Cheng, Zhang Zhan, and the Langguan contacted by Jing Dan come forward, can the Fifth Lun be let go?
Yangxiong was able to survive the disaster at the beginning, but it was thanks to Wang Mang, the Son of Heaven, who knew him well enough to know that he would never participate in the rebellion, so he asked one more question, which forced Wuwei Si to investigate the case well.
After thinking about it, he felt that he still couldn't stay out of the matter, so he recruited his eldest disciple Hou Ba: "Gongfu, you take my handwritten letter to Huan Junshan's house, and then visit Xiuyuan Bofu, and ask Huan Tan and Liang Rang to come forward to help Boyu." ”
Yangxiong has a lot of friends, but most of them are general friends, seeing that he is poor and fell out of favor, he has broken off contact one after another, only Xiuyuan Boliang Rang is still treated as a teacher, as for Huan Tan, it is a poor and unswerving friend, and he is also the person who knows Yangxiong the most.
But although these two have knighthoods, they can be placed in Chang'an, and they are all regarded as "people with light words".
You have to rely on the "big guys" to open their mouths to feel at ease.
Who can I ask for?
Lao Yangxiong opened his eyes and made up his mind, he called out the fifth blessing who was guarding the courtyard, followed him back to his home, took out the original chapters of "Dialects" that were regarded as treasures one by one, carefully wiped off the dust with his sleeve, and put them in the blanket.
A few years ago, Liu Xin, the national teacher, asked Yang Xiong for this book, but Yang Xiong refused verbally, and they had a friendship for decades, and finally they hated each other, and the two had no contact with each other completely.
Yang Xiong can't wait to teach him the fifth Lun he admires, but he doesn't want to give him a word about his "old friend" who is already a stranger.
But today, he had to bow his head.
For your own sake, don't repeat it in the Fifth Lun.
Yang Xiong asked the fifth blessing to help him into the car, and his trembling hand pointed forward: "Go to the National Teacher's Mansion!" ”
……
The eighth correction took advantage of the rare trip to come back today, and when he walked to the door of Xuanmingli, he found that something was wrong.
Everyone pointed at him, and the eyes of the inner prison door were full of sympathy, what was going on?
After entering the middle school, he met the fifth blessing and Yangxiong driving out, the white-haired old man holding Shujian with a depressed face, and the fifth blessing was anxious, waving his hand to let the eighth Jiao get out of the way.
The eighth Jiao opened his arms to stop the carriage, and when he asked, he knew the reason for the incident, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Bo Yu has been caught in the Wuwei Mansion?"
"I ...... What can I do? ”
The fifth blessing was annoyed, so he came down and pushed the eighth Jiao to the side of the road, and scolded: "You, a student who only knows how to read, can do anything, just don't hinder us." ”
It is true that the eighth correction is not in the rescue plan of the fifth lun, but seeing Yangxiong and the carriage go away, he stood up from the ground with a resolute face!
"Who says students can't make it?"
The eighth corrected head turned back the same way, and the ox cart that sent him was gone, and he couldn't stop the car to go to the south to block the road, so in a hurry, he rolled up his wide sleeves and trotted up on Chang'an Avenue.
The wide-clothed and wide-sleeved Confucian crown student ran forward, attracting many surprised eyes, the eighth face was red, he usually focused on the five classics in the house, rarely moved, only ran half a mile before he was tired and panting, and sweated in the cold weather.
The soles of his feet hurt a little, he walked too quickly, and the soles of his shoes were worn out, but the eighth Jiao endured it and asked himself not to stop, but his speed was getting slower and slower, and he went to Taixue for more than ten miles, and he was afraid that it would not be dark to arrive.
Fortunately, when turning into Guanqian Street, the eighth Jiao finally stopped an ox cart pulling briquettes - but the family expanded their business and delivered goods to people in the city.
The eighth correction was not particular, and after reporting his identity, he climbed into the briquette car and walked all the way.
The smell of briquettes is choking, the plain white Confucian robe seems to be dyed with ink, but the eighth correction, who pays attention to the appearance on weekdays, doesn't care, and only thinks of the fifth Lun's voice and smile in his heart.
At the beginning, the humility that let him learn from himself was said to be the generosity of the eighth and fifth families to reconcile. And with his own strength, he will integrate the Linqu Township, which has been divided for two hundred years and is almost like a stranger, and turn it into a clan again!
In the eyes of the eighth correction, this is a great feat, and he can only look up to it. As the saying goes, he reads silently, but at the moment when Wu Lun's life is at stake, if he doesn't stand up and do something, I'm afraid he will look down on himself for the rest of his life.
"Although I can't be as virtuous as Boyu, I can also fight for righteousness and death!"
Along the way, the carriages and horses were like flowing water, and sometimes the intersection was blocked, so he could only wait, which made him anxious.
It was easy to get out of the Gu Gate and walk seven miles, the eighth Jiao jumped out of the briquette car and rushed into Taixue, ignoring the embarrassed and filthy mockery of others, and walked straight into the house, first drank a large scoop of water, and then rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and found the yellow clothes.
The new dynasty advocates the five elements always, especially the students, pay attention to the "five-color clothes", that is, "spring green, summer zhu, season summer yellow, autumn white, winter black". Because the new dynasty prides itself on being virtuous and still yellow, yellow surpasses Zhu and black and becomes the most noble color, which is quite popular with the government and the public.
No matter how fine its workmanship is and how precious the material of Shu brocade is, the eighth correction did not hesitate to pick up the knife and cut it apart from the good clothes that his father spent a lot of money to buy for him.
After going out, he snatched the long bamboo pole used by the students at the door to dry their clothes, tied up the clothes, and made a simple flag.
A mere student, a nerd who only knows how to read sage books, what can he do in the face of unjust, false and wrongful cases?
Looking up at the flag, the eighth reminded him of what had happened twenty years ago.
In the first year of Emperor Yuanshou of the Han Dynasty (2 BC), it was Bao Xuan, who issued a call of "seven deaths and seven deaths" for the people of the world, who was the captain of the school at the time, and sent people to stop the illegal act of the prime minister and officials from entering the gallop road without permission, and confiscated his chariots and horses.
The way of the world is the same as now, there is no legal reason to talk about, it depends on who is powerful and who is reasonable. This move was regarded as an offense to the prime minister, and Zhongcheng served Yushi to go to the Sili Captain's Mansion and asked Bao Xuan to hand over his officials.
But Bao Xuan refused, and closed the gate to prevent the envoy from entering. So the imperial court arrested Bao Xuan for the crime of "deceased courtesy, great disrespect, and immorality". Because he likes to tell the truth on weekdays, he offended many people, but no one rescued him and sentenced him to death, which caused a sensation in Beijing.
Twenty years ago, it was here that there was a doctoral disciple Wang Xian, after hearing about this, Yu Taixue raised the flag and raised his arms!
As a result, more than 1,000 Tai students gathered under Wang Xian's banner, and the next day, Wang Xian led the Tai students to block the way to the prime minister's court, invited the driver to petition, and then wrote a letter, and the Emperor Wai was forced to order Bao Xuan's death to be reduced by one rank.
It was the first successful Taixue movement, which gave the Eighth Jiao inspiration, and he walked all the way with the banner and came to the outside of the Taixue dormitory, where the disciples of Shangshu rested.
Today's climate is good, Zhuangguang Zhuangziling is still sleeping soundly, thinking about the ultimate problem of life; Uncle Liu Wen, a native of Nanyang, is playing the game of Liubo with his fellow villager and waiter Zhu You; The genius boy Deng Yu was flipping through the scrolls, and Qianghua from Yingchuan was still deducing the weft symbols on the ground, very serious.
There are many more people living in nearby districts, totaling thousands of people, and the Taixue of this dynasty has expanded violently, several times more than the number of people during the time of Emperor Han Ai.
The eighth stood in front of them with the banner on his shoulder, and waved it violently, a funny and bizarre scene that attracted everyone's attention.
Deng Yu's young man likes to be lively, so he ran over first, Zhu You also saw it, frowned and whispered a few words to Uncle Liu Wen, causing Liu Xiu to look back. Seeing that it was the eighth correction, Liu Xiu's already big mouth opened even bigger, and his face was full of incredulity.
There were more people who gathered over to see what the Eighth Correction, who usually couldn't let out a loud fart for a long time, was doing like this today.
The eighth blushed, he was not very good at words, but today he was open, and only desperately emboldened himself, shouting in a hoarse voice:
"Gentlemen, please stop for a moment and listen to me!"
