195 Hu Zhen, who left his name in history for solving the adultery case

Hu quality.

Hu Zhen (?) β€”β€”250 years), the word Wende, a native of Shouchun (now Shou County, Anhui), the minister of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms, the official to Jingzhou Assassin History, the general of Zhengdong.

Hu Qian, Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms" has a biography.

Cao Cao's acquaintance with Hu Zhi was due to a routine audience when an official left office, Cao Cao asked the new deputy mayor Jiang Ji, a person named Hu Min in the Jianghuai area, very prestigious, I don't know how old he is, can he have children and grandchildren?

Jiang Ji hurriedly replied, "He has a son named Hu Zhen, although he is not as good as his father who can praise state affairs and plan the overall situation, but this person is extremely thoughtful and can deal with complicated and trivial matters, and belongs to a capable official." ”

Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he became interested, so he recruited Hu Zhen as the county magistrate of Guantao County, Hebei.

Cao Cao is good at discovering talents, and does not stick to one pattern of using talents, the head of a county is the best grass-roots post to inspect talents, morality, ability and diligence, this post is done well, 70 percent can be promoted.

Hu Zhen really lived up to his expectations, and the county magistrate did a great job.

At that time, there was a sensational murder case in Guantao, the county citizen Guo Zheng had an affair with his cousin, and killed his husband Cheng He in order to rip eggs and split his legs, and he never wanted to be bumped into by his subordinate Feng Liang, so he sued the official, and the two were afraid that the adultery would be leaked and falsely accused Feng Liang. But Feng Liang, who had no interest, couldn't stand the torture, and was beaten into a trick, saying that he killed Cheng He, which was done by himself.

After Hu Zhen arrived, he carefully reviewed the lawsuit and felt that something was wrong, so he retried the case and found that Guo Zheng and his cousin looked panicked, and the two exchanged glances many times during their confessions, obviously colluding in advance.

In the retrial of Feng Liang, there were large errors in the time and place of the plot at the time of the case, so he had a bottom in his heart.

After detaining and interrogating Guo Zheng and his cousin respectively, the two people's descriptions of the details contradicted each other and were very different, Feng Liang, who had already been convicted of murder and was about to be executed, was finally acquitted, while Guo Zheng and his cousin, who committed adultery and evil, broke down psychologically in the face of the facts and confessed to the crime.

This case has a modern color, but it is by no means modern, but the Three Kingdoms, which are recorded in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" and the "Book of Jin".

In a short period of time, Hu Zhen has dealt with a large number of backlog cases and managed Guantao County in an orderly manner.

…… ……

Cao Cao likes down-to-earth and more pragmatic and capable officials the most, and he is disgusted with exaggerated and exaggerated intellectuals, who are high-handed, high-handed, and low-minded intellectuals, and seeing that Hu Zhen is so reliable, he recruited Hu Qin as a senior staff member of the Prime Minister's Mansion Think Tank.

Zhang Liao, commander of the Eastern Theater of Operations, and his chief of staff, Wu Zhou, had always been at odds, and due to differences of opinion, deep contradictions had accumulated over time, so Zhang Liao requested that Wu Zhou be removed and his subordinate Hu Zhen succeeded.

Being able to be Zhang Liao's chief of staff is a good thing that many people dream of, but Hu Zhen excused himself on the grounds of illness, which made Zhang Liao very faceless.

After Lao Zhang went out, he angrily blamed Hu Zhen and said, "I treat you sincerely, how can you live up to my heart so much?" ”

Hu Zhi gave his boss Zhang Liao a lesson clearly, "The ancients interacted with each other, what they valued was the other party's conduct, because they knew the roots, so although the other party took a little more, they knew that he was not a greedy person, even if he occasionally lost the battle and ran away, he also knew that he was not cowardly, no matter how much gossip there was, he would not believe it, and he made friends." Wu Zhou is a very elegant person, but you have grievances because of disagreements, I have shallow knowledge, far inferior to Wu Zhou, how can I coexist with you for a long time? ”

Zhang Liao's face was red, both moved and ashamed, and later Zhang Liao took the initiative to ask Wu Zhou for forgiveness, and the two reconciled as before.

Although Hu Zhen is far less famous than Zhang Liao, he is by no means a person who climbs the dragon and attaches the phoenix, his conduct is noble, and he never falls into the ground, but seeks truth from facts to bridge the contradiction between the generals and commanders, and it is a beautiful talk for a while.

Later, Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, and Jian Bahu was an official of the Organization Department of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and later transferred to the mayor of Dongguan.

During his tenure in Dongguan, Hu Zhen once again showed his excellent ability to look like a torch and judge cases like a god.

At that time, there was a scholar named Lu Xian, who was killed by someone for unknown reasons, there were no clues left at the place where the crime occurred, and there was no clue about the progress of the case.

Hu Zhen remained silent, and made an unannounced visit, and found that Lu Xian's wife was young and beautiful, and in this period of widowhood, although she cried and cried, she was not sad, obviously her husband's death was not as difficult for her to accept as the sky fell.

Hu Zhen has a bottom in his heart, and when he opened the case analysis meeting, Hu Zhen said to his subordinates, "Lu Xian has no enemies in his life, but he has a very beautiful wife, which can rule out the possibility of vendetta, but it is very likely to be a love killing, so you can focus on the young man near Lu Xian's residence, and you can carry out the investigation with great fanfare." ”

Sure enough, the large-scale census of the mountain and the tiger brought obvious results, there was a scholar named Li Ruo who was hesitant and panicked when he was interrogated, so Hu Zhen interrogated him strictly, Li Ruoniu's head could not match the horse's mouth, full of flaws, and he turned himself in after a poor reason, and it was another case of adultery and murder of his husband, and the real criminal was revealed.

Hu Zhen has won high praise from the local people. During his nine years in office, the people were stable and peaceful, the roads under his rule were not left behind, the thieves were wiped out, and every time Hu Zhen received a reward, he distributed it to his subordinates, so the army and the people were happy to serve him.

…… ……

During the Three Kingdoms period, due to the warlord melee, Hu Zhen led the court to take the initiative to attack, and was crowned General Zhenwei for his military merits, and was given the title of Marquis of Guannei.

Zhu Ran, the general of Eastern Wu, surrounded Fancheng, Hu Zhen led his troops to help lightly, and his generals thought that the enemy was menacing and morale was too strong, but Hu Zhen thought that Fancheng was very small and had few troops.

Therefore, Hu Zhen rushed to the aid in the starry night without any order, and it was precisely because of Hu Zhen's quick decision and the speed of the soldiers that Dongwu had no chance to take advantage of it, and had to retreat, and the siege of Fancheng was solved.

After the war, he was promoted to the commander of the eastern frontier, and supervised the military of Qing and Xu Zhuzhou. They also built channels between various cities so that boats and boats could pass through the waterways, and they were strictly defended and actively prepared for war.

During Hu Zhen's tenure, there was no war in the coastal areas for many years, which was obviously related to Hu Zhen's precautionary measures and impeccable arrangements, and Soochow had nothing to do in the face of Hu's impermeable defense.

Hu Zhen assisted four generations of the Cao family all his life, was diligent and deep by nature, and was aware of everything, and had far-reaching and insightful thinking about many superficial things, and became a pragmatic pillar of the Cao Wei family, although his reputation was not as good as Guo Jia, Xun Yu (yΓΉ), Cheng Yu and others, and his military achievements were not as good as Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Cao Ren and others.

In 250 A.D., Hu Zhen died, after his death there was no remaining property in the family, only the reward of clothes, and countless books, Hu Zhen was honest and honest all his life, and his sleeves were clean, which was very different from the local tyrants who made a fortune.

The imperial court ordered to praise Hu Qian's incorruptibility and integrity, and gave Qian Gu the title of Marquis.
