Hearing her husband say this, Mrs. Pan couldn't help but complain a lot, you are all hard-hearted officials, and the third year of high school is also a lonely and cold person, if it is ordinary, it will be forgotten, but this time you will depose him, and the third year of high school will be killed by the Jingzhao Mansion's decisive rod, so wouldn't the murderer be equal to you, husband?

Originally, the cane punishment in the Tang Dynasty was one of the "five punishments", which was between imprisonment and flogging, and there was great flexibility, such as cane punishment could be offset by exile, and prisoners, official and private servants who could not bear the exile could often stay at home after the cane punishment instead of exile or imprisonment. However, the ruler can also increase the number of cane punishments at will, usually the cane punishment is divided into 60 to 15 levels, which can be added to 160, and the maximum shall not exceed 200, and it is clear in the "Tang Law Discussion" that "all tortured prisoners shall not exceed three degrees, and the number shall not exceed 200" is also, so Gao Yue, who is set at 240 canes, can also be regarded as a breakthrough in the history of the law of the Tang Dynasty.

After all, there is a ceiling on the number, so the ruler began to make a fuss about the severity of the offense, if the offender commits the crime of private casting, the government can bypass the law and directly knock you to death with twenty spines, so that the rod punishment will cause the effect of "although it is not a capital crime, most of them will be killed", which is the frightening "death with a scepter". ”

Hearing this, Pan Yan also sighed heavily, frowned and said to his wife, do you think I want to do this? But the person who is often jealous of each other, if I let go of his list, won't I always hate him together?

Although Mrs. Pan is a little superstitious, but after all, she is a knowledgeable person, she directly advised her husband, if the senior was really killed by the Jingzhao Mansion because of the lower rank, and it was not the true intention of the Holy Lord, then not only Changxiang, but even you are responsible!

Pan Yan was silent, and then he spread his hands to his wife a little annoyed, "This senior is also a scoundrel, relying on minus two hundred and forty rods to run rampant everywhere, I can't help but let him go!?" ”

"Then husband, you can take a look at Gao Yue's book before it is too late, and see if his talent is a scoundrel. But I couldn't make up my mind, so I consulted with my father. Mrs. Pan's tone softened, and she took the opportunity to put Gao Yue's scroll on the bookcase.

Pan Yan could only sit down on the banquet, "In a few days, Zheng Wenming will come to Wenjuan to continue to seek confidants, and many colleagues in the court and China will send books today, how can this Gao Yue's poetry and talent be as good as Zheng Wenming?" Previously, I avoided Zheng Qi's first, this time I can't repeat the old trick, I have to take him, if I put Zheng Wenming in the sixth place on the list, then Gao Yue doesn't know where to go to serve the public! ”

"What is presented in the third year of high school does not seem to be poetic." Mrs. Pan poured a cup of tea for her husband and reminded.

"Oh?" Then Pan Yan saw that Gao Yue had two scrolls, one was thin and the other was heavy, and the former was obviously a poem.

So Pan Yan first unfolded the thin shaft, and slowly his eyes became incredible, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

"How?" Mrs. Pan was also anxious.

"These poems are all wonderful!" Pan Yan said, he couldn't help but sweat oozing from his forehead, looking embarrassed, "Obviously, he was a few times the same last time, how could he make such a leap of progress this time?" Then he was silent, thinking, "It seems that there must be someone behind him to help, who is this person (your father-in-law)...... But what if someone else ghostwrites, I promised his scrolls, and Gao Yue dragged the white in the science field? What if someone is dissatisfied in the future and appeals to the Holy Lord, and has to retest the exposure? ”

In the midst of sorrow, Mrs. took the initiative to unfold the other axis and let her husband look at it again, Pan Yan took a look, "Hey, isn't this a sketch?" ”

At this time, he remembered that in the imperial city today, Cui Kuan, the middle minister of Xiantai, and Xiao Xin, the regular attendant of the loose cavalry, found him one after another, and deliberately promoted Gao Yue, saying that the other party's talent is not only in poetry, but also in sketches, please pay attention to it.

So Pan Yan looked at the name on the giant scroll, which was "Huaibei Mystery Case Collection".

"Huaibei Mystery Case Collection, do you want to talk about a mystery case?" Pan Yan was greatly surprised, because most of the usual essays are anecdotes and strange tales from the government and the opposition, and I have never seen such a case.

Then Pan Yan and his wife looked down together: this "Huaibei" should be a fictitious person, the identity of a student of the prince of the country during the period of the martial arts, this and Jingzhao Mansion Fa Cao joined the army Mao Da'an's daughter Lan Cao had a marriage contract, but because of the unknown murderer poisoned and framed, the body shrunk to the size of a three-foot child, at this time the Qing Palace Taoist Xue Xianke knew, he taught him the voice change technique, and gave him "King Kong Ju", "Fengxing Boots", "Sleeping Flying Needle" and other treasures, so Huaibei pretended to be Mao Da'an's name, and Lan Cao, who was not clear about his identity, went around to solve the case.

"Oh, interesting, interesting......" these few chapters attracted Pan Yan and his wife, and then the two of them couldn't take their eyes off it, reading chapter after chapter, when they just saw the climax of "Xingdaofang Mansion Ghost Knife Assassination Case", the last page of the file was opened, and only the two words of Dou Da remained, "To be continued".

"Tsk!" Pan Yan slapped the bookcase, he was so anxious that his scalp was about to explode, and he was so anxious that he pulled up his beard.

"Don't be anxious, husband, tomorrow I will see that the senior bachelor is not coming, it stands to reason that the scroll should not be only one axis."

"Yes, yes, yes." Pan Yan's hand tugging at his beard became faster and faster, "Then I'm tired of Madame." ”

The next day, Gao Yue was wearing shabby deep clothes, and sure enough, he stood at the back door of Pan Yan's mansion again, holding the next scroll.

"Lang Jun worked hard." Mrs. Pan was very grateful, took it, and thanked Gao Yue again, looked around, and then said goodbye and retreated to her house.

Gao Yue stood under the tree in front of the door, and then looked at the closed door of the Pan Mansion, and couldn't help but smile proudly......

Two days later, Pan Yan begged his wife to take the scroll from Gao Yue.

At this time, although the carriages and horses were like clouds in front of the main gate of Pan's house, Pan Yan's mind was not on those poems at all, he also learned from Cui Kuan, threw all the scrolls of others in several large urns, and when they were full, they were all piled up and stuffed under the kitchen counter to burn, and as soon as he came back, he sat in the middle hall and asked if the third and fourth parts of the "Huaibei Mystery Case Collection" in the third year of high school had been sent.

However, in the next two days, Gao Yue was very ghostly, saying that he went to Zhongnan Mountain to meditate and compose poetry, but he was not in Chang'an City at all, and he couldn't be found when he went to Wujiafang and Guozijian.

"At such a critical moment, why do you go to Zhongnan Mountain to compose poems!" Pan Yan, who was on a ten-day break, patted the bookcase, angry, and restless - how should I spend this ten-day break?

At this time, the official hurriedly came to report, saying that there was Xingyang Zheng Qi outside the door to throw the scroll.

"No, no!" Pan Yan waved the back of his hand endlessly.

But the official was embarrassed, saying that Zheng Langjun was recommended by Chang Xiang.

In desperation, Pan Yan could only reluctantly meet Zheng Qi.

As a result, in the middle hall, Zheng Qi was still stating the subtleties of his poems, and he saw that Pan Lishi on the opposite side did not look like a big official at all, but looked left and right, sometimes looking back, sometimes stretching his neck and looking into the distance, sometimes even scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks, and whispering something to the servants from time to time, not caring about his poetry at all, it was just like the "Fanglin Ten Philosophers" he met in Zhongnan Mountain!
