Chapter 321: Trial of the case
Today. The parents of the yamen tried the case so forgivingly, without thinking about it, the defendant went out to break his head, and the person who beheaded him was still the parent official himself, and after giving the order, he quickly retreated from the hall and ran away, so fast that he couldn't even catch the dog" In short, Lord Fang Zheng Fang set one shocking record after another.
Lord Fang ran away without a shadow, but the masters and officials standing in the main hall of the yamen couldn't be as careless as him, everyone stood in the hall, their expressions were stunned, and they watched Lord Fang disappear, and they all looked at each other at a loss.
The woman who was the plaintiff was also stunned, it was unrealistic to sue Qincha, she came to the yamen today to beat the drum and voice her grievances, the complaint was just a reason, and the original intention was to risk her life to demonstrate to the imperial court.
But she didn't expect that the situation would become like this now, and the lord in the hall did not hesitate to order the defendant to be beheaded, and then "disappeared, once upon a time, the officials of the imperial court were so considerate of the people?"
"This adult is" Yes" The woman paused for a long time, pointed to the direction where Fang Zheng disappeared, and asked.
"Cough, this Lord Fang, temporarily acting as the prefect of the prefecture" The master seemed to know this woman, coughed twice, and tried to save a little face for the imperial court.
"He," he ordered just now, "beheaded Qin Cha Fang Zheng?" The woman still couldn't believe it, when did the prefect have so much power? The imperial court's envoy said that he would be beheaded? Besides, he's not guilty?
"Uh" The lord just now is the Lord of the Qincha, Fang Zheng" The master's face was a little ugly, and he really didn't know how to explain to the plaintiff.
"What? Is he Fang Zheng? The woman's willow eyebrows were raised, and she waited to cry out loudly, and the baby she was holding in her arms cried twice, and the woman hurriedly patted the baby and whispered a few words.
,”
In the inner hall of the yamen, the master was struggling to persuade Fang Zheng.
"My lord, the plaintiff is still standing in the hall and refuses to leave, and the people are complaining, my lord, you should go to the trial, otherwise it will be hindered by the official reputation of the adult,"
"If you don't go, you won't give up if you die!" Fang Zheng's head shook like a rattle: "The main hall is too dangerous, my life is so precious, if the house collapses, who will I cry out to?" ”
"My lord, think twice"
"Who is that woman suing? It was too chaotic just now to hear clearly,"
The master was covered in cold sweat: "My lord, it was you who she sued just now, and"
"Sue me? And what? Fang Zhengjun's face darkened, Lao Tzu came to Su just a few days ago, he didn't recruit anyone and didn't provoke anyone, how could he be sued? The ministers in the court hall in the capital sued Lao Tzu every other day, and now they finally went down to Jiangnan to relax for a few days, and someone sued Lao Tzu, could it be that Lao Tzu is a lawsuit in his life?
"And, ahem, the lord has ordered you to behead yourself just now," the master replied heartily.
"Fart! Fart! Fang Zheng was furious: "When did I say this?" Lao Tzu has never provoked anyone when she came to Suzhou, why did she sue me? Someone! Ascension! Lao Tzu will meet her".
The master was immediately happy when he heard it, please don't stir the general, it turns out that Lord Fang is good at this"
"Slow down, tell Ping to go, move the desk to the main hall and the courtyard, let's go up the hall outside"
The promotion of the hall is still the same old procedure, the officials are helpless to stand in two rows in the middle of the courtyard, holding the wind and fire sticks in a hurry like raindrops in the courtyard, the master of Qin Chafang is wearing official uniforms, wearing official hats, and seems to be sitting at the desk with a solemn face, squinting at the environment in the courtyard, nodding with satisfaction, the scenery is beautiful, and the air is much better.
slapped the startled wood fiercely, Fang Zheng shouted: "The woman in the hall, what grievances do you have, who is the one to sue, come on!" ”
Since the woman knew that the official master sitting in the hall was Fang Zheng, she had been covered with frost on her face, her eyes were cold, and her eyes were cold, so that Fang Zheng's heart was furious, and she tried to remember it for a long time, and she didn't remember when she had offended her, and she shouted majestically, but he was so aggrieved that he wanted to cry. He asked himself if he was not Fang Qingtian who was in charge of the people, but he was not a bully dog official who bullied the people, being stared at like this by a woman really made him feel extremely aggrieved.
The officials next to him moved in unison, and shouted in unison: "Lord Qincha is in front of you, and you don't kneel down yet!" ”
The woman stubbornly raised her head, snorted coldly, and said angrily: "The person who is sued by the woman is this Lord Fang who is sitting in the hall, how can there be any reason in the world for the plaintiff to kneel to the defendant?" Folk women don't kneel! ”
"Bold! The civil prosecutor was originally a reverse move, and it was even more disrespectful to see the official not kneeling. The master on the side shouted angrily. He was originally a clever person, seeing the stitches, he was very eye-catching, and when he saw Fang Zheng sitting without speaking, he hurriedly stepped forward and slapped his ass implicitly, in order to get a chance to advance.
"Hey! Wait! Fang Zheng was furious because he saw this woman's gaze, and when he looked at him, he was full of bitter hatred, and he couldn't figure out when he had offended her.
Squinting his eyes and flattering his master, Fang Zheng snorted: "Master Pang, you like to give orders so much. Do you want the official to give you a position, and you can decide the case? ”
The master was startled, and hurriedly bowed down and retreated a few times, "I said in a panic: "There is no form in the next, and there is a loss of words in the next, please forgive me!" ”
The horse's fart slapped on the horse's leg, and Master Pang was annoyed, and stepped aside without saying a word.
"Why did this woman sue this official?" Fang Zheng was very puzzled and asked gently.
"Humph! Lord Fang, Fang Qincha! You were ordered by the emperor to inspect Jiangnan, is this how you inspected? Investigate and file the case without asking the cause and effect, indiscriminately, and put the four old and eight prisons of the people's woman's family, dare to ask the adults, how can they be worthy of being a minister of the Qin Mission, only flying knives and rivers can afford the grace of the mighty emperor? ”
Fang Zheng hurriedly said, "Hey, wait a minute!" You make it clear, I don't understand, "What the hell is going on?" Who are you? Who is your family? Who am I going to jail? Say it from start to finish. ”
The woman in the hall took a few deep breaths, calmed down her excitement, and gently patted the baby in her arms, and then said: "My lord, the woman's surname is Zheng, and she is the daughter-in-law of Li Boyan, the former governor of Suzhou. Whether the family is greedy for ink, the woman is a woman, I don't know, but the woman knows that the family man Li Boyan has been coerced for several years, before the adult went to the south of the Yangtze River, someone even arrested the grandson, in order to threaten the family Weng, the son still does not know life and death, and the family Weng was arrested and put in prison by the adult, dare to ask the adult, but do you want to force my Li family into a desperate situation? ”
Fang Zheng suddenly, he vaguely remembered that Li Boyan mentioned this to him before he was imprisoned, saying that his son was kidnapped by the people behind the scenes and used to blackmail, and there were only newly married daughters-in-law and grandchildren waiting to be fed in the family.
As a woman, she dared to come to the yamen alone to beat the drum and voice her grievances, and this courage is also admirable.
Fang Zheng's tone calmed down a bit, and said: "Zheng's family, Li Boyan is greedy for the tax and silver of the Moxican treasury, and the amount is huge, this is based on real evidence, how can I wronged him?" When Li Boyan was arrested, he himself confessed his guilt, how could I be confused about this case? Your husband was kidnapped, and the prefect's yamen has filed a case for investigation, which is completely different from Li Boyan's case of embezzlement of ink.
Zheng stubbornly raised his head and looked directly at Fang Zheng, and said stubbornly: "No, these two cases should be the same thing!" Everything has a cause and an effect, my lord, the family of the people's women is wronged! It was precisely because the husband and son-in-law of the folk woman were taken away to threaten the family, and the family man threw a mouse trap that he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he had to take the blame for others and beg the adults to investigate! ”
Fang Zheng stroked his forehead and groaned in pain.
Isn't this woman messing around? The evidence is ironclad, Li Boyan has confessed her guilt, but she is still unwilling, vainly trying to overturn the case, saying that she is unreasonable and too excessive, many people in the world are used to relying only on subjective speculation when encountering things, and regardless of whether everything is right or wrong, they first put themselves in the position of the victim, and coerce the so-called "justice and justice" to crusade against all injustices. With a self-professed righteousness, he fights against the so-called "evil" and never stops fighting.
"Zheng, your father-in-law is greedy for ink first, and your husband is taken captive behind, this is the cause and effect relationship, don't make it upside down, your father-in-law personally confessed, and the evidence is ironclad, this case is already condemned, and you can't come up with new evidence to prove your father-in-law's innocence, you want to overturn the case with your words, do you think it's possible?" Fang Zheng said helplessly.
Zheng may also be a spicy character on weekdays, so he closed his neck and said loudly: "Who said I can't produce evidence?" My lord, there is a letter from a thief who says that my husband has fallen into their hands, and threatens the woman not to say anything, otherwise the husband of the woman will be killed by them! My lord, this letter can prove that the family was really coerced, so he took the blame for others, please check it out! ”
"Letters?" Fang Zheng was shocked, how could there be such a thing? Li Boyan didn't seem to have mentioned it to him.
"Present it, and the official will take a look
Zheng took out a yellowed letterhead from his water sleeve, held the baby in one hand, and handed the letter to the official with the other.
Fang Zheng took the letter, unfolded it, and saw that what was said in it was indeed the same as what Zheng said, and he was not overjoyed, maybe the ancients never took such a thing as a letter seriously. But Fang Zheng came from a previous life, and had seen some books and TV on reasoning and detection, although he was not very good at solving cases, but he knew that once the criminal had handwriting and something like that fell into the hands of investigators, it might be of great help to solve the case, and a small letter could often find out a lot of details and clues from it.
Looking back and thinking about Li Boyan's mistakes, in fact, he is also a poor and hateful person, if you can find out the person behind the scenes by this letter, it is also a credit, well, you can consider sparing his life, a few days ago Han Zhu also implicitly pleaded for Li Boyan in front of him, hoping to open the net, so that he can sell a favor to the Han family, maybe the Han family is grateful, and he will not be forced to marry him in the future,,
Quietly put the letter in his arms, Fang Zheng said solemnly: "Zheng, the crime of greedy ink committed by your father-in-law has been decided, and the case cannot be overturned, the crime is unforgivable, but there are extenuating circumstances, if the case can be successfully solved, this official should intercede for your father-in-law in front of the emperor." It may not be possible to escape the death penalty. ”
Zheng's face was happy, and only then did he bow down to Fang Zheng Yingying, and said: "Thank you for saving your family's life, my husband is in the hands of thieves, and I also ask your husband to help and reunite the family, and the woman is willing to repay the adult's kindness in the next life!" ”
Fang Zheng, who played the role of the Qingtian Lord, couldn't help but feel happy when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "You don't need to repay it, just cash it out!" ”
"Huh?" Everyone heard the two of them answer quite like that just now, why did this Lord Qincha seem to be a different person after the matter was finished?
"Ahem, I'm sorry, I'm used to it, you shouldn't have heard it.
At this moment, the baby in Zheng's arms suddenly cried and kept struggling and moving, crying in his mouth, Fang Zheng frowned, the official decided the case like this, your family is convinced, could it be that you, this little guy, are still not convinced?
Seeing the baby crying, Zheng hurriedly carried the baby to the side of the main hall, turned his back, unbuttoned the placket of his shirt, and began to breastfeed the child.
Fang Zheng's heart couldn't help but warm when he saw this, he is also a person who is about to become a father, and in the future, he will also watch Changping or Yuexin mules feeding, that kind of warm family exchange, it must be what all the people in the world are looking forward to for Bagong Qi, right?
Watching the child grow from a small crumpled lump of flesh to a towering tree, counting the days and looking forward to him growing up day by day, looking forward to him becoming a * person, continuing the blood and hope of the previous generation, endlessly, until he grew old, smiling and closing his eyes......
Fang Zheng suddenly felt that such a scene was very touching, and his eyes couldn't help but glow with a little red thread, and the fatherly love that he had never had before rippled in his heart.
Standing up, Fang Zheng tilted his head slightly, looking at Zheng's breastfeeding her child, and couldn't help but have a warm smile on his face, just let Li Boyan go, the three generations are in the same house, the child will live a happier life, no need to bear the hatred of the country and family, no need to taste the bitterness of life too early, and grow up carefree in a relaxed environment, which is better than anything else.
The baby looks less than half a year old, his small eyes are half-closed, his hands and feet are restlessly paddling, his small mouth is slightly open, and he is looking around**, and his ruddy little face is particularly cute.
Fang Zheng leaned aside, and the more he looked at it, the more happy he became. My future son will definitely be more handsome than this one.
That is, as a father, Fang Zheng has this self-confidence.
With a warm smile in his hand, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and did something that no one expected.
I saw him stretch out his hands together, hold down Zheng's two plump ** that were as bright as jade exposed, and then smiled evilly at the baby: "Hey, little guy, call uncle, don't shout, don't eat,"
Ahh
"Smack!"
,
On the official road on the northwest shore of Taihu Lake, nearly 100 mule carts are staggering, and the mule carts are very difficult to walk, leaving deep indentations on the dirt road of the official road. You can imagine how heavy the contents of the car were.
Five thousand dragon warriors followed closely on both sides of the mule cart, forming a queue and slowly moving forward.
Xiao Huaiyuan and Feng Qiudao are also among them.
Xiao Huaiyuan looked up at the sky and said, "General Feng, it's getting dark, is it time to find a place to stay?" Let's find an open place to camp in the mountains, and after walking all day, the soldiers are tired. ”
Feng Qiudao nodded and said: "What Lord Xiao said is good, there is a mountain not far ahead, and the general has already sent spies to investigate, if there is no abnormality, we will camp at the foot of the mountain." ”
Xiao Huaiyuan said with a smile: "General Feng is careful, and he is worthy of being the one who leads the troops. ”
Feng Qiudao smiled faintly: "Since the brothers are from me, they must always be brought back in their entirety, marching and fighting is a business that is meant to kill people, and if you can die less, you will die less, and it is always right to be careful in everything." ”
Xiao Huaiyuan looked behind him and said with a smile: "We can camp in a grand manner, but we are suffering from Lord Wen and the shadow brothers who are far behind us, in the wilderness, they can't raise fires, they can't set up tents, crawl in the grass mosquitoes, and insects bite them." It's a great sin."
Feng Qiudao shook his head and said: "Before leaving, Lord Ding, Ding has instructed, each in his own way, each performing his own duties, we are in the light, Lord Wen is in the dark, this is Lord Fang's deployment, if the enemy does not come, if they come to rob the silver car, Lord Wen and the shadow brothers will play a role, if this trip can be successful, Lord Wen should remember the first merit." ”
"General Feng, do you think Lord Fang's plan can succeed?" I'm a little bit in suspense."
Feng Qiudao said with a smile: "Since Lord Fang has come up with this plan, he must have his reasons, I think he is not wrong to arrange it like this, make use of his strengths and avoid weaknesses, the people behind the scenes are good at strategy." Hidden deeply, Lord Fang can't win by strategy, using this seemingly clumsy method to force him out, it's not a way, it's better to turn scheming into luck, seize the initiative in our hands, maybe it will soon turn defeat into victory. ”
Xiao Huaiyuan smiled bitterly: "If you talk about gambling luck, maybe there is really no one in the world who is Lord Fang's hand, I can now expect that the people behind the scenes may soon taste the bitterness."
Feng Qiudao haha, but did not speak.
Xiao Huaiyuan's eyes flashed a little bit of drama, is it really all luck that caused today's situation?
A person and a horse rushed towards the team, the horse did not stop, only to see a person jumped off the horse, knelt down on one knee in front of Feng Qiudao, and said loudly: "General, there is a mountain not far ahead, there is a temple on the mountain, called Guangfu Temple, marked down to investigate, the temple is not full of incense, all are old and weak monks, about seven or eight people, there is no danger, the army can pass." ”
Feng Qiudao nodded, turned his head and shouted: "Brothers, speed up a few steps, let's camp at the foot of the Guangfu Temple tonight, everyone has a hard day, tonight the meat tube is full, but you are not allowed to drink!" ”
The soldiers with tired faces were overjoyed when they heard this, and shouted happily, and then hurried forward with the mule carts.
The darker the sky, the more gray the sky seemed to be covered, and the silence of the wilderness set off the darkness of the night.
For some reason, Feng Qiudao's heart suddenly jumped, and a wave of uneasy emotions enveloped his whole body in an instant.
I forgot to report the blind date battle the day before yesterday.
All in all, one word: "gloomy"
The girl is good, I like the appearance and figure more, but the personality is too lively, in general, I am still quite satisfied.
After dinner, the two went to the bar together, drank half a bottle of foreign wine on the net, and was about to tell her my initial impression of her, by the way to express my admiration for her, who knew that she drunkenly patted me on the shoulder and said: "Brother I think you are like my brother, from now on, I will recognize you as a brother,"
After sending her home, my brother and I ran back in tears."
