Chapter 8 I Stand the World with Benevolence and Righteousness

The head is covered with curly hair, the mouth is open and the neck is raised, the four claws are strong and powerful, the demeanor is domineering, and the two stone lions at the entrance of the yamen show their majesty, especially the big eyes that stare at them, which are breathtaking and scare away the thief.

In addition, there are two drums at the door, the one placed on the east side outside the yamen is the drum of injustice, and the one placed on the west side is the drum of the ascending hall. Legend has it that after Bao Gong took office in Kaifeng Mansion, he rectified the rule of officials: the old system, and all lawsuits were not allowed to go down to court. The main gate was opened, so that the front Chen Qu was straight, and the officials did not dare to deceive. This is where the drums of injustice come from the future generations.

is the so-called stone lions left and right, scaring away the charm and ghosts; On the east side, the drum of grievances sounded, and the injustices of the world were complained.

Within the yamen, the head of the county lord is hung with a mirror; On the desk, the county respects the big seal of the town and the government is lucky; The stunned wood was photographed, and the left and right officials shouted mighty!

Today's trial, the yamen has already been crowded with people eating melons, the old lady Wu died when she accepted the twenty-eighth concubine, listening to it feels extremely fragrant, if you dig out any more insiders, it will be in vain. Besides, you can't stay at home and beat your child all the time, and the child can't stand it......

The defendant Liu Duanzheng was kneeling at the foot of the hall, his face was gloomy, and he looked resigned to his fate, he must have been ready to cut it in two, and he couldn't be like an earthworm, he could still be alive after half of it, so Boss Liu must be unhappy.

The Wu brothers glanced at each other, and they could find the hidden joy in each other's eyes, and after Liu Duanzheng asked for a beheading, the two of them could ask someone to buy Qionglinju from Mrs. Liu's wife at a low price, and forgive their orphans and widows and dare not sell it.

The matter has come to this point, and Ma County's order does not dare to bend the law for personal gain, so he wants Liu Duanzheng to sign and draw the charge, and then sentence him to death, after all, killing people to pay for his life, and he can't bend the law for personal gain in front of everyone.

"Slow down, adult." I saw a white-faced Confucian student walking out of the crowd, wearing a scarf and hat, wearing a long white shirt, holding a cranking fan in his hand, and writing the words "Fenghua peerless".

Not to mention what he looks like, just this dress can be described as a humble gentleman and gentle and elegant.

I saw the scholar approaching the yamen, bowed to the Ma County Order, and said: "I have seen the county lord, the student is Cao Wei, a talented person in this county, who stands up in the world with benevolence and righteousness on weekdays, and has an excellent reputation. It is often said that the "only" in "rich and handsome, beautiful and talented" refers to students.

Just this morning, Xiaoshuang, the maid who served Mrs. Wu, told the students that Mrs. Wu had been suffering from a vicious illness and could not bear to see innocent people die unjustly and tragically. Adults, please see, this is Xiaoshuang's confession and drawing. ”

After Cao Wei finished speaking, he took out the confession paper from his cuff, and a servant stepped forward and presented it to Ma County.

Ma Xianling naturally doesn't believe in nonsense such as benevolence and righteousness to establish the world, what he cares about is this confession, with the confession of the old lady Wu, the case will have a turnaround, and there will be room for maneuver.

After reading the confession, Ma Xian Ling was shocked and asked the Wu family brothers: "Does Ling Zun have any hidden diseases in his body, don't hide it, and don't recruit it from the truth!" ”

The brothers of the Wu family were shocked and angry, the servants at home actually did this kind of thing, as if they swore together to the end of the day, but you secretly baked oil, and when you returned home, she would be in a dilemma of life and death.

What the Wu brothers didn't know was that at this time, Xiaoshuang had already left Qinyang County with the one hundred taels of silver given by Pan Fu.

"My lord, my servant must have received the benefits of the Liu family, so he made such perjury, and I hope your lord will find out." The boss of the Wu family was full of grief and indignation, and his voice was like a cuckoo crying blood, which could be said to be sad for the listeners, and weeping for the hearers.

Cao Wei saw the ugliness of the Wu family brothers, took out Dr. Sun's confession paper and said: "The student told the adults, Dr. Sun, who treated Mrs. Wu, a few days ago, because he received one hundred taels of silver from the Wu brothers, he concealed the fact that Mrs. Wu had a heart disease.

He heard that the students had always been benevolent and righteous, so he also knelt down in front of the students' homes and asked the students to stand up and uphold justice. This is Dr. Sun's confession and drawing, and I invite you to look at it. After Cao Wei finished speaking, he took out another offering paper from his cuff.

After hearing this, the Wu brothers felt as if they had drained all their strength, and immediately collapsed to the ground, and this kind of private matter was found to be over.

Seeing this, Ma Xianling knew that the Wu brothers had nothing to say, and couldn't help nodding to Cao Wei secretly, this son is good at attacking the heart, taking out chips little by little, making people unable to figure out the hole cards, and from beginning to end his expression is indifferent, just this bearing is difficult for ordinary people to reach, good talent, can be used!

Ma Xian Ling had a plan in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Two Diao people, pretending to be the death of their father, actually falsely accusing others, don't you know that according to the Ming Dynasty, framing others is to sit back?" If you still don't admit your guilt, don't you know the power of the Yamen's torture tools? ”

The Wu brothers had already run out of ideas, and when they heard the intimidation of Ma County's order, they immediately kowtowed and confessed, confessed to the fact of falsely accusing Liu Duanzheng, and asked for a lenient sentence. At this point, Liu Duanzheng was acquitted, and the Wu brothers were put in prison and waiting to be released.

There was an uproar at the entrance of the yamen, except for the Pan and Liu families, the most excited was the crowd of people who were crowded at the yamen to watch the lively melon eaters.

This is the dark side of human nature, when people hear about other people's scandals, the first thing that comes to people's minds is not sympathy, but excitement, and this has been the case for thousands of years, and people's inferiority has always existed.

Think about it, too, the scandal of a big family! There is wood! As a witness, this experience can be told to your neighbors for a year.

There is also this young gentleman, who is already a talent at a young age, and his appearance is still beautiful...

……

At this time, Liu Duanzheng learned that it was Cao Wei who saved him, and immediately took Mrs. Pan to kneel down to Cao Wei, and Cao Wei hurriedly helped him up.

Liu Duanzheng escaped death this time, he was full of emotion, took Cao Wei's hand, and said: "It's a pity that I only have one daughter, otherwise I will be married to you, as long as the virtuous nephew comes to Qionglinju for dinner in the future, it will be free." ”

Pan Fu was on the side, his heart was full of resentment, and he had a lot of credit, but no one cared, and he almost cried after hearing his father-in-law say this, and if he continued to talk about it, his wife was gone...

Cao Wei couldn't help but shudder when he thought of Mrs. Pan's domineering, no matter how good others were, how could they have their own sweet potatoes gentle and considerate, but when they heard that they had got a long-term meal ticket, they were overjoyed and said: "I stand up for the world with benevolence and righteousness, and it is within my share of duty to rescue my uncle. After all, the family has a big business......"
