Chapter 113: The Case of Duke Wei's Judgment
The father-in-law can't help but be surprised, since he was a eunuch, he has been strict with himself, never did the corruption and bending the law, bullying men and women, and is even more affectionate to the people, and has always mingled with the people, and always takes the two purposes of "serving the emperor" and "serving the people" as the basic principles of his own conduct and doing things.
But now, there is a woman on the street openly cursed him Wei Gonggong, asking God to thunder and kill him Wei Gonggong, which made Wei Gonggong extremely surprised and very aggrieved, in order to find out what was going on, his old man immediately ordered the sedan chair to stop left and right, and then instructed Qi Xiangfang, a hundred households in the East Factory, to take people to see what happened.
At the same time, some of the town guards saw that the woman disturbed Wei's father-in-law, and they hurriedly sent people to deal with it. Qi Xiangfang later reported that it was a woman surnamed Sitang Town who was scolding people on the street, and she had arrested her and transferred her to the town guard yamen for disposal.
Since the Suzhou Prefecture was removed from the Suzhou Prefecture and subordinated to the Maritime Special Zone, the civil affairs in the territory are now under the responsibility of the town guard yamen. This civil affairs also include criminal law and other matters.
However, this is a special case, but the rest of the town guards do not ask about civil affairs, criminal laws and other matters, such as the Nanjing town guard eunuch (inner garrison hall) does not involve the Nanjing criminal department, and the Datong town guard does not ask about the affairs of the Datong prefect.
Wusong is in charge of guarding the yamen here, and the biggest reason is that the existence of the Ming Emperor's personal army makes it impossible for the governor of Yingtian and the prefect of Suzhou to intervene in the affairs of the special zone.
This is also the "independence" that Wei Gonggong wants, and only when the SEZs are independent of the old system can they play a greater role. Of course, since the SAR seeks "independence," then it is natural for the military and civilian affairs to be guarded by the yamen.
This person was originally the official of the Zhidian Prison, who was in charge of the entry of the documents of the prisoners in the prison, and when he came to the Special Administrative Region to manage the criminal law, he was also regarded as a half-professional counterpart. In addition to this Wanhe, the two yamen really couldn't find a second one who was proficient in criminal affairs. In terms of talents, Father-in-law Wei is still in short supply.
"Arrest?"
Father-in-law Wei felt a little inexplicable about this, "Why do you want to arrest people?" This kind of thing is common among the people, and most of them are caused by injustice. The woman scolded our family on the street, there must be a reason, let's ask you to go and see, so that you can ask why the woman scolded us, not to ask you to arrest someone. ”
Only then did Qi Xiangfang realize that he would mistake what Father-in-law Wei meant, and did the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "My subordinates will go and release people." ”
"Of course you have to let it go, but how can you arrest someone with a few words of scolding? Our Da Ming Law does not allow people to scold. ”
Gonggong Wei nodded, and then instructed Qi Xiangfang: "In this way, you bring that woman to our house, and our family must ask her." This good guy wants God to thunder and kill our family, how much hatred does she have for our family? ”
With regard to the contradictions among the people, Wei Gonggong has always advocated resolving contradictions with a practical attitude of solving problems. With regard to non-internal contradictions, Wei Gonggong adhered to the principle of solving problems by solving them. If the people are gone, there will be no problem.
"Yes, Gonggong!"
is different from other people's names for Father-in-law Wei, Qi Xiangfang has always been commensurate with Father-in-law Wei's position as a temporary eunuch in Dongchang in Beijing. I went to bring someone immediately, and soon, I brought the woman surnamed Zhang over.
The woman surnamed Zhang looked at about forty, her hair was fluffy, as if she hadn't been washed for many days, and the clothes on her body were even more dirty.
"This sister-in-law, come here, come here... We are the dog eunuch you scolded, but you don't have to be afraid, come to our house and tell me why you want to scold our family. ”
Father-in-law Wei's attitude is very kind, and his old man never puts his father-in-law's score in front of the people, shaking the eunuch's prestige. It's just that the woman surnamed Zhang was obviously frightened by Dongchang Fanzi, and the person was still in panic, her body was still trembling slightly, how dare she step forward to talk to the dog eunuch she had just scolded.
Seeing this, Gonggong Wei couldn't bear it, but it was also inconvenient to reprimand Qi Xiangfang and others, and looked at this woman surnamed Zhang carefully, seeing that her face was very thin and sickly, thinking of what she scolded before, he had some numbers in his heart, so he stepped forward lightly and ordered him to move a stool left and right.
"Sister-in-law really don't have to be afraid, our family is not a man-eating beast. In the world, there will be difficult consequences, since you scold us in the street, you must have done something wrong in the future. But if you don't say it, we really don't know what's wrong for a while, in that case, no matter how big the grievance is, the big wrong, we can't pay you justice. ”
While speaking, Gonggong Wei actually stretched out his hand to help the woman surnamed Zhang sit on the stool, which made the people who came to hear the news of the town guard yamen worried, and the people watching from a distance were a little excited when they saw it.
The woman surnamed Zhang was still in a state of panic and confusion, but after listening to what Father-in-law Wei said, she woke up suddenly, she looked at the young man in front of her in a daze, and sat on the stool tremblingly. I intuitively felt that this Wei eunuch was not a bad person, if he was a bad person, how could he be so good to her. Thinking about the cursing words I had just said on the street, I couldn't help but feel guilty, kept blaming myself, blushed and raised my head and said boldly: "This father-in-law, it's not good for me... I shouldn't have scolded you..."
"There's nothing that shouldn't be done! If we do something wrong, we should scold! ”
Father-in-law Wei waved his hand and said to the woman surnamed Zhang cordially: "Sister-in-law, don't be sad, let alone be afraid, you can tell us why you are scolding us now, if there is any difficulty, our family will help you solve it." In short, our family is standing in front of you now, you will boldly speak to our family, if you don't say what is in your heart, how can our family be with your people! ”
After speaking, he said with a straight face: "If my sister-in-law is really wronged and bullied by the people below our family, don't be afraid, just say it, our family can't do anything else, but it is okay to seek justice for you and export your evil anger!" ”
When the people who guarded the yamen heard this, they all changed color, and even Zhang Hua, who had always been a good man, listened to it, and they were all worried.
"Father-in-law, I have injustice and evil anger!"
Father-in-law Wei's words touched the heart of the woman surnamed Zhang, especially her clear attitude made her very encouraged, she wiped her tears, and said to Duke Wei: "Father-in-law, since ancient times, murder to pay for life, debt to pay, but my son called someone to kill, the murderer not only did not pay for his life, but also did nothing, I really can't stand this breath!" ...”
Thinking of her son's tragic death, the woman surnamed Zhang couldn't help but cry.
