"Duan County's order you also heard it, now Zhu Lu and his accomplices are all under the law, and I ask you to make a ruling!" Cao Xuan didn't feel any sympathy for Zhu Split, and he said to Duan County Ling in a cold voice.

And Duan Ke is also a black line, this time he chose an open trial, it is impossible to directly acquit these people in front of the general public, if this is the case, the reputation he has accumulated with great difficulty will be ruined.

But at this moment, You Tie and the others were looking at him with fierce eyes, he didn't know how to judge, after all, all the people who broke the law this time were some disciples of the family, and in a trance, he thought about it again, so it was better to compromise. These people go to hard labor for a year, and I believe that this is a result for both parties.

However, just when Duan Ke was about to make a decision, suddenly a group of people walked in outside the yamen, and the group of people was violent, directly pushing away the people who were blocking the front, and then a group of old men walked directly into the court.

And those disciples of the family watched these old men appear, as if they had seen a savior, and their eyes quickly lit up, and they crawled in front of these old men, pulling their trouser legs, and shouting for them to help.

And seeing these old men coming in, Cao Xuan couldn't help but squint his eyes, as soon as these old men came in, they locked their eyes on him, among which Cao Xuan also recognized that the one in the middle is Cai Gui now, and there seems to be a young man next to Cai Gui, that is, his nephew Cai De.

With the appearance of their group of people, Cao Xuan knew that today's matter might not be solved so easily.

But since this group of old guys is here, then Cao Xing will play with them to the end, anyway, Cao Xing and these families will have a battle sooner or later.

"Duan County Order, please handle the case impartially, I wait for the people's grievances to be redressed!" Cao Xuan said to Duan Ke again.

However, just as Cao Xing's words fell, Cai De glanced at Cai Gui, and then walked out of the crowd, shaking his folding fan, and also said to Duan Ke: "Duan County Order, we also ask you to judge the case impartially, but we think that the result of your impartial judgment should be to acquit all these people!" ”

As soon as Cai De's words came out, the people at the door were in an uproar, and looking at Cai De's confident appearance, Duan Ke knew that something bad was going to happen, Cao Xuan wanted to have a good fight with the family, but the family also had this idea, and this battlefield was above today's court.

Duan Ke could even see that Cao Xing had to fight to the death with these families today, and these families were willing to accompany them to the end.

Before Duan Ke could speak, Cao Xuan took a step forward, squinted at Cai De and said: "Hehe, I don't know why this brother said this, you have to know that Zhu Lu and the others have conclusive evidence, and they themselves have admitted it, but now they want to be acquitted, I don't know if you are flouting the laws of my Han Dynasty?" I still think that you can become the law of the Han Dynasty yourself! ”

"No, Cao Xiancheng, I think your words are serious, I, Cai De, am just a small scholar, I don't think that I am the law, let alone that I can represent the decrees of the Han Dynasty, but these decrees, why do you see that they are all based on the people, although Zhu Lie and others have committed crimes, but their affairs are excusable, and they can even be said to be confused for a while, so I think your opening is simply nonsense!"

Cao Xing's eyes were a little solemn, and from this sentence, he could conclude that this Cai De was not a good match, Cai De at least read books when he was young, understood a certain truth, and had seen a certain amount of the world, otherwise he could only argue with Cao Xing like a madman now, instead of staying so calm.

"The evidence of Zhu Split and others killing people and setting fires has been conclusive, I want to hear Cai Gongzi's high opinion!" Cao Xuan also said indifferently.

Cai Deyi shook the folding fan in his hand when he heard this, shook his head and said: "What is the foundation of my Han rule, it is based on the benevolence and righteousness of Sage Kong, and many laws are also based on benevolence and righteousness, I don't know what kind of festival Zhu Split and Lord Cao have, but no matter what, Lord Cao, you are the boss of others, and you should take the initiative to enlighten when you have a holiday with others, rather than blindly punishing them, and Zhu Split and others also confessed that they drank wine that day, all of them were jokes, Now that they have drunk and made another mistake, it seems to me that they should be treated leniently and be exempt from responsibility, after all, they already know their mistakes, so that the name of righteousness can be demonstrated! ”

This Cai De is worthy of being a person who has read books, and his argumentative ability with a mouth is also extremely strong, the black is white by him, and the white is black by him.

However, Cao Xing's debate with Cai De is like a debate tournament in college, Cao Xing has also participated in some of this debate competition, and he also has occasional thoughts on it, so he didn't mind Cai De's words at all, but looked at Cai De and said with a smile.

"Oh, Confucius has always advocated benevolence and righteousness, I know this, and I also think that those in power today should use benevolence and righteousness to treat the people well, but I also vaguely remember that Confucius once said, repay virtue with virtue, complain directly, in the final analysis, it is what should be done, and now there is a decree here, according to the law, you should kill them, do you say I should kill them!"

Cai De raised his eyebrows when he heard this, then took a step forward and continued to be outdone: "No, in the final analysis, this is the personal grudge between Cao Xing and Zhu Li, and it should not be brought to court, but you have declared a personal vendetta, this time you have to treat Zhu Lie and others to death, I will ask you, where is your benevolence?" If you are really a righteous person, you should settle this matter privately, not in court, so I think what you are saying is a lot of nonsense! ”

"Hehe, it turns out that Cai Gongzi likes Sage Kong so much, then I also remember that Sage Kong was the prime minister in Lu State, and he killed his opponent Shao Zhengmao within seven days of taking office, and now I also want to learn from Sage Kong, do you think I did something wrong!"

"You, you...... Cao Xing, let me tell you, if you dare to kill Zhu Li and the others today, you will be unkind and righteous, and you will still be the enemy of the world's scholars! ”

Cai De likes to mention the matter of the saint to Cao Xing, so Cao Xing will do it a little ruthlessly, and he really said that Cai De has nothing to say, after all, what Cao Xing said is history and facts, and he can't refute it in words. can only be said ruthlessly.

However, he didn't expect that as soon as he said this, he immediately attracted a sigh from the people outside the door, scolding them for being disciples of this family, who can escape the punishment of the law if they break the law, while they, the poor people, have committed crimes, but they will be severely strangled.

Cai De didn't expect that his words would attract so much condemnation, and he didn't dare to bubble for a while.

Cai De was gradually defeated, Cao Xuan looked at Cai De, and showed a smile to him in his heart, but Cao Xuan also knew that the victory of this battle could not come so quickly, and he saw the two old guys behind Cai De, who had already taken steps.

One of the old men with a fiery temper pointed directly at Cao Xuan and said, "Cao Xuan, if you dare to kill my nephew today, I will definitely not let you go!" ”

And Cai Gui also said to Cao Xuan on the side: "Lord Cao, this is the Zhu family, once one of the three elders in our Bianyun County, and now although his disciples have violated the law, but the law does not blame the public, can you let Zhu Split and others go!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Xing finally responded, Cai De is here to tell himself these bullshit truths, to put it bluntly, it is not for any benevolence, but to help the head of the family surnamed Zhu.

As for the three elders, it can be understood that the parent officials set up by the imperial court in various towns and villages are all served by some respected old men, but this surnamed Zhu can be called highly respected, which is simply a joke.

"Hehe, just because you are a powerful family, you want to murder me, I have to let you go!" Cao Xuan said with a smile.

The head of the family surnamed Zhu, he didn't seem to have so much patience, so he stepped forward directly and scolded sharply: "Otherwise, what do you want to do, Cao Xing!" ”

The words of the head of the family attracted a burst of noise from the people at the door, and the head of the family surnamed Zhu, he didn't care so much, and with a direct wave of his hand, countless family disciples immediately blocked the door, holding sticks to blackmail those people, not allowed to shout, and whoever dared to make a noise would beat him.

"Jokes, it's a big joke, just because a few of you dare to call yourself nobles, is there any royal law in your eyes? is the so-called whole world, it is not the shore of the king's land, it is not the king's minister, even if the Son of Heaven violates the law, it will be on the side of the Qing monarch, not to mention a few of you who only dare to be arrogant in the local small role! ”

As soon as Cao Xing's words came out, everyone was shocked, they never thought that Cao Xing would directly elevate this case to the perspective of the Son of Heaven, which is a bit scary, just like Cao Xing said, the whole world is the territory of the Son of Heaven, who dares to criticize the fault of the Son of Heaven.

Cai Gui seemed to have caught the loophole in Cao Xing's words, stepped forward and pointed at Cao Xing and asked, "Cao Xing, you are so bold, you dare to say that today is wrong!" ”

Cao Xing waved his hand: "No, no, no, the head of the Cai family, I really don't mean that, I just want to express that if the Son of Heaven is not virtuous, it is very likely to be replaced by the ministers of the court, not to mention your small family, now you don't obey the law, that is, you don't put the Son of Heaven in your eyes, I can also answer what you just said, I don't think that the Son of Heaven is not virtuous today, if the Son of Heaven is not virtuous, how can I be in this position now!" ”

Speaking of the last sentence, Cao Xuan also raised his eyebrows at Cai De, Cai Gui's whole lungs exploded, it was precisely because of Emperor Han Ling's betrayal of the official mantle, so Cao Xuan sat in this position, Cao Xuan naturally thought that Emperor Han Ling was extremely virtuous.

"Cao Xing, do you think that you are the only one doing things for the Son of Heaven? Let me ask you, when I was the third elder, where did my exploits go? Today you want to behead my disciple, why! The head of the Zhu family said again unceremoniously.
