Chapter 229: A Difficult Case

In the county office, Gu Zheng and Zhang Ye are also having headaches. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After multiple investigations, evidence collection, interrogation and confession, the facts are already very clear, Ma Qing was indeed frightened by the horse, which knocked Xiao Daya to death, and Xiao Daya's family has also been invited to confirm that his body is undoubted.

Such a clear thing is easy for ordinary people to deal with.

According to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, the crime of injuring people by walking in a carriage or horse without a reason is reduced by one degree compared to the crime of fighting and injuring people. The Song Dynasty's "fighting and killing" is similar to the "crime of intentional injury" in later generations, which means that the "horse disaster" is compared to the intentional injury in sentencing, but subtracted by one degree, for example, the intentional injury and disability is "flowing 3,000 miles", and the "horse accident" causing disability is "flowing 2,500 miles".

If the horse is injured because of a public or private emergency, the atonement is allowed mutatis mutandis mutandis for the crime of negligent injury, and the ransom is paid to the victim, and if the horse is frightened and injured, the second degree of negligence is subtracted.

In other words, Ma Qing's matter is not serious, Ma Er was frightened and injured, at most it is a crime of negligent injury minus the second degree, and it can also be redeemed, as long as he pays the ransom, the matter will be resolved, according to the identity of the prefect's son, this money is nothing to him. In other words, he will not be punished in any way.

But the problem still comes out, after all, this is a crime, and it is naturally recorded, so that his name will be deprived, and it will even have an impact on the future, which makes it difficult for Zhang Ye and Gu Zheng to make a decision.

They all know very well that Ma Qing's father Ma Ying is a person, that is a person who must be repaid, and his son came to Feng' County with Zhang Ye, and was actually sentenced, which will make him very faceless, it is conceivable that he will repay these two people in the future.

Gu Zheng said that he already had a grudge with him anyway, no more than one more, no less than one less, but Zhang Ye was different, even if he didn't participate in the whole incident, he would be implicated, not to mention that because of Gu Zheng's existence, it would trigger Ma Ying's liver fire.

"My lord, how should this be handled?" Gu Zheng asked Zhang Ye for instructions.

If Zhang Ye is not there, he will naturally do business, even if he wants to vent his anger, he has to take Ma Qing out of anger, but as a person in the officialdom, he must ask Zhang Ye's opinion.

"Ugh." Zhang Ye sighed angrily and said: "The shaft has nothing to do to make trouble, he should really be sentenced to a few killer sticks and let him be honest for a few days." ”

are all from Nanjing, how can Zhang Ye not know Ma Qing's past? He was a bastard, who did a lot of evil, and the people resented him greatly, but because of his father, no one touched him.

However, this is not the city of Nanjing, but a small county town, Ma Qing's clamor afterwards has aroused the anger of the people, if you don't give everyone an explanation, you will naturally not be able to do anything, and even the next development plan will have an impact, after all, the people are easy to judge, a government that can not preside over fairness and justice, any of his policies can not be trusted.

"Can you delay for a few days?" Seeing that Gu Zheng was still waiting for his opinion, Zhang Ye had to ask.

"It's okay to delay it for a few days under the pretext of investigating and collecting evidence, but it can't be delayed for too long, after all, many people are staring at this matter." Gu Zheng replied. He knew what Zhang Ye meant, Zhang Ye was going to write a letter to Ma Ying to explain the situation, but it was not close to Nanjing, and it would take four or five days to go back and forth.

"Find a way to delay it for five days, and I'll give you an answer after five days." Zhang Ye said helplessly.

"Okay." Seeing that Zhang Ye was so embarrassed, Gu Zheng had to agree. He was about to go out to make arrangements, but Zhang Ye called him back again.

"In the past few days, I have grounded all the people from Nanjing, and when the matter is over, except for Duan Zong, all of them will rush back."

Gu Zheng understood that he didn't need to arrange this matter at all, this was just a gesture that Zhang Ye expressed to him. But for him, this state is too valuable, and Gu Zheng is still very useful for it.

Everyone knows that the main purpose of Ma Qing's coming this time is to deal with Gu Zheng, although he didn't find evidence for a while, but if he is here for a long time, he will find out if he can't keep it, and then it will be another turmoil.

Zhang Ye turned a blind eye to this before, because he didn't want to get involved in the resentment of Ma Gu, but at this time, he couldn't get involved. Ma Qing has embarrassed him by what happened, if he continues to stay in the county seat and causes some trouble, he will not be able to deal with both sides, so he made up his mind to send people away. Of course, this move can be regarded as a favor for Gu Zheng, and it is a reward for him to understand himself.

"Xia Guan understands." Gu Zheng replied.

……

Gao Feng had already returned home, and he called Song Erdan over: "This thing has been done beautifully, and it has also solved our big trouble, through this matter, we can see that Liu Sangou is worth reusing, by the way, take the time to ask him out, I want to meet him." ”

"Yes, Chief Guard, what time do you think is the right time?" Song Erdan asked.

"Tomorrow the old lady wants to go to Yongning Temple to burn incense, I naturally want to accompany her, so tomorrow, I will make an appointment near Yongning Temple." Gao Feng said.

"Yes, Chief Guard." After Song Erdan agreed, he said, "Bao Chief, that Huang Liang seems to be about to succeed." ”

"Okay, keep an eye on me, this time I must let the bumblebee not eat and walk around." Gao Feng said happily.

He naturally knew what Song Erdan meant when he said "Huang Liang is about to succeed". Huang Dafeng raised a concubine named Jade, Huang Liang didn't know it, and thought it was a woman from a good family, so he stepped forward to hook up, but he didn't think it would really be successful, but it was an opportunity to give Huang Dafeng a big gift, with this opportunity, how could Gao Feng miss it?

Song Erdan took the order, Gao Feng went to see Gao Shan first, and then came to the backyard.

The family was busy, and when they saw the peak coming, Li Wenjuan hurriedly shouted: "Master Guan, come and see, is there anything we have prepared for it?" ”

The sentence "official master" shouted Gao Feng to goosebumps. Knowing that Li Wenjuan was joking, Gao Feng was still a little uncomfortable, and he hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, you can kill your younger brother, if you continue like this, the official will not be good, and you have to call the old." ”

"Huh." Li Wen was amused and laughed, "No matter how old you are, how old can you be, dare to say that you are old in front of your sister-in-law, be careful I tell your brother." ”

"Sister-in-law spare my life, I don't talk about being old, and you don't call me an official." Gao Feng hurriedly begged for mercy. In front of Li Wenjuan, he will never be able to turn over.

"Okay." Li Wenjuan said open-mindedly, "Come and see, do you bring enough things to Yongning Temple tomorrow?" ”

Gao Feng knew that everyone had never been to the temple and didn't understand the rules in the temple, so he stepped forward to take a look and saw that everyone had prepared some incense, candles, cloth, etc., which he didn't understand, so he had to say perfunctorily: "Burning incense and worshiping the Buddha is important in your heart, and it doesn't matter how many things you have." ”

"Although you have a point, but I feel that there is still something missing, what do you say it will be?" Li Wenjuan asked with a frown.

"Huh." Gao Feng smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it doesn't matter if you don't bring anything else, there is only one thing that cannot be missing." ”

"What?"

"Money." (To be continued.) )
