"Student Wang Yan, I have seen the governor of Zhizhou."

Wang Yan is famous, and he is exempt from kneeling and giving up. At the same time, Wang Yan is really his student, because the fame after the exam was given by Sima. He is the examiner, not Wang Anshi.

Sima Guang said with some regret: "Good seedling, Wang Yan, you used to be a good seedling, but unfortunately it was ruined, and it was really abandoned by Wang Anshi." He also said all day long that I can't be a man and can't govern, and now it seems that he can't look at people and can't educate his son. The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, look at what you have done. The son is not filial, and the father is also wrong. ”

"Zhizhou Xianggong sees it clearly." Wang Yan hugged his fists and said: "You seem to have selectively missed a sentence 'The son does not teach, and the teacher is lazy'." My teacher is you, you can't run away about me, you are the same as my father, don't talk about the eldest brother. ”

Sima Guang took a picture of the shocked wood and reprimanded: "Of course the old man is responsible, the responsibility is to ignore you and not discipline you strictly." You have reminded the old man, since you recognize me as a teacher, the old man will stare at you to death in the future, and he will discipline you fiercely. ”

Uh, is this a shot in the foot? The upright old Sima did not shirk his responsibility, and directly admitted that Wang Yan was naughty, and he was willing to take responsibility.

Then I can't cry blind with the devil.

So Wang Yan said with tears in his eyes: "Ming Gongri has a lot of opportunities, the kid is presumptuous, I will be very well-behaved in the future, and I will not temporarily use your precious time to let you bother to discipline." ”

Sima Guang said: "Of course bother, but I also bother, the original you are smart and studious, which is the hope of the future of the country, the old man has high hopes for you, and plans to write a letter to Beijing, recommending you to take the provincial examination in advance and study in Taixue." Now it's hatred of iron that doesn't make steel, and the old man doesn't want to see a talent like you ruined. ”

Wang Yan said: "Ming Gong, I don't dare in the future, I won't destroy it." ”

Sima Guang's expression softened slightly: "Fortunately, you still know that you are afraid, and you still know how to cry, which means that there is still salvation." Otherwise, the old man specially sent a henchman to keep an eye on you, and learned that you were simply bold. ”

"Ahh Wang Yan jumped up in fright and said, "Ming Gong, you actually sent someone to keep an eye on me?" ”

"Why are you not convinced?" Old Sima twisted his beard and said, "As a judge of Shuzhou, do you think I can't doubt you and have no right to stare at you?" ”

I'm @#¥

He seems to have that right.

"You dare to entangle the ruffians and hooligans, set up gangs to disrupt the order, there is news from this parish, Ma Jinsi borrowed your reputation, and the money collected filled the room." Sima Guang said: "Now I will give you a chance, and I will not allow the priest to present evidence and interrogate for the time being." If you admit it, you will turn yourself in. Then remember that you have a meritorious body, and you are a child, and I will not cure you for your sins. ”

Wang Yan said nervously: "Ming Gong, don't bully me for reading less. I do believe that you will not deal with the child and will not punish me, but this is your political means to attack my father and the reputation of my royal family. Don't bully young people to be poor in front of big right and wrong, my psychology is like a mirror, I will not turn myself in and admit my guilt. ”

"You ......" Sima Guang got up violently and said: "The heart of a villain is a person, of course this hall must hold Wang Anshi responsible." But this is not a political tool, it is a ritual law, a law. He can't even manage his son well, which led to this kind of scandal, is he really not responsible? Maybe you want to say that the old man is also responsible? ”

Wang Yan shrugged his shoulders slightly, indicating that he acquiesced.

"Okay!" Lao Sima took the case and reprimanded angrily: "I admit this responsibility, when I write a letter to impeach Wang Anshi, the old man will also impeach himself and ask for demotion to the office." That's it. As for now, come on. ”

"Yes." A few messengers came out of the ranks.

Such a situation frightened Wang Yan to jump, damn Sima Guang is planning to blow himself up, and he will not hesitate to hurt himself to make Wang Anshi unstable.

Sima Guang said: "Cut off Wang Yan's famous identity." Take it, and the following will be interrogated by the 'Shuzhou Tuisi'. ”

"Slow." Wang Yan said loudly: "Although I am young, I have to defend this strongly according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty and resist entering the interrogation of the judges. ”

Sima Guang couldn't do anything about this, and asked coldly, "Have you figured it out?" ”

The implication is, of course, to confess leniently and resist strictness. Theoretically, what Sima Guang just said is an administrative judgment, not a judicial conclusion, and if Wang Yan does not protest and acquiesce, the crime will be charged, but the punishment will not be severe. If the protest is forced, it is commonly known as "fighting a lawsuit", of course, it is okay, but in terms of general rules, once the argument is lost, it is generally the highest sentencing.

Of course, ordinary Xiucai didn't dare to take this kind of risk, the former just lost his fame and identity and ate a whip. The latter are all capital offenses.

It's all because ordinary people can't argue with officials, and in the end, it's still the officials who have the final say.

However, Wang Yan dared to fight this lawsuit, relying on Sima Guang's justice, others would make trouble, but Sima Guang would not. Even if he loses the argument in the end, he will have to wait for Wang Anshi to review.

Yes, Da Song is actually very cute, even if it is sentenced here, Wang Yan can not accept the verdict and appeal to the General Judgment Division to ask for a retrial. This right is not only available to Wang Yan, but also to other people.

"Ming Gong is above, I think clearly, inexplicably say that I am guilty, as a citizen of the official family, of course I have to ask why." Wang Yan said.

Sima Guang sighed, looked at the clerk and said, "It is very important to record this confession truthfully. ”

"Yes." The clerk holds the pen and prepares.

Sima Guang said: "Let's say, now Benzhou refers to disrupting order, using his father's position to collect money, and squeezing the Shuzhou market, why are you dissatisfied?" ”

Wang Yan said eloquently: "Collecting money comes from labor. In the case of the government's inaction and the unstable Shuzhou market, the big families and magnates can hire family guards to protect the home, so why can't small traders, middle and lower-level businessmen, buy bodyguard services? ”

"Bodyguard service?" Sima Guang couldn't help but pout, "Do you want to explain Ma Jinxi's behavior as a bodyguard?" ”

"It's not that I'm going to explain that, it's true. Ma Jinsi helped them solve their worries, this is labor, labor needs to spend money to buy, this is my business logic of Da Song. Ma Jinxi did not threaten the vendors, did not use force, and did not force them to make subsequent purchases. This reason, if the food in Nanhua Lou is not delicious, Nanhua Lou is not guilty, and guests can choose not to eat it. Unless Nanhualou uses a knife to force diners to eat, it is guilty. Wang Yan said loudly, "If the behavior of Ma Jinxi and others is determined to be a persecution order, I, Wang Yan, will be the first to disagree, even if I enter Beijing to fight the imperial lawsuit, I will not compromise." If Ma Jinxi committed a gang crime, then I think that the family members of the Manchu magnates were privately armed and gathered to cause chaos. ”

Sima Guang couldn't help but be furious, although his own family was not much richer than Wang Anshi, but his family was indeed so many more than Wang Anshi, so he was anxious.

While the old Sima was angry, he also had to think about it carefully, and what he said had a certain truth. At least on the surface, it makes sense, Ma Jin's blatant collection of money is not a secret, it is blatant, and the only strange thing is that so far, no one has come up with a report.

The reason for not telling is likely to be the unspoken rule of "the rich do not compete with the officials", that is, in fact, Wang Yanhu is a fake tiger and borrows Wang Anshi's potential deterrent, which is a threat.

It's just that such a threat is hard to prove. If you talk about this, it is definitely my Sima Guang who loses this lawsuit in Beijing, not the Wang family.

Because in this way, it is no different from Wang Anshi, which is to pull the hatred of the entire bureaucracy of the whole world, and form a very bad precedent.

In view of Wang Yan's defense, everyone in the state hall looked at each other.

After being silent for a long time, Sima Guang said: "Okay, this hall can't prove for the time being whether you threatened them or not." There is no doubt that Ma Jinsi and the others are a few unemployed gangsters, but it is not a big deal, and this parish does not want to judge their personality on this basis. But there is one thing that you can't get around, you are still disrupting the order, suppose you describe your actions and gangs, as the nature of a business, have you filed a tax return, have you registered? ”
