No. 269 The Iron Nail Case
Liu Gongzi didn't let everyone wait, and directly said the answer that some people already knew.
"However, this son, you still haven't said it, why didn't you say that there was no need for this case to be tried in the first place?" The boy at the next table asked.
"That's right! Liu Gongzi, you have lived in vain for a long time, and you haven't gotten to the point yet! ”
"That's right, he's the person he hates the most, and he always likes to sell off."
"Everyone, everyone, just as I was about to talk about the main point, this son asked in advance. That's not to blame! Liu Gongzi arched his hand at everyone, comforted everyone, and then said: "Actually, the key is the word 'sell'. ”
"What do you mean by selling words? Don't always sell off, okay? Zhang Shusheng on the side complained bitterly.
"yes!" Everyone was also very angry at Liu Gongzi's bad behavior.
"Ahem" Liu Gongzi pretended to cough to hide his embarrassment, and did not dare to sell Guanzi, and then said: "The deposit between Ah Yun's uncle and that scoundrel is actually neither in line with the legal principles nor in accordance with the law. Then the exchange of goods between them is a sale. Although his uncle belonged to the closest relative, he did not have the right to sell Ah Yun to the scoundrel at that time, not to mention, there were several daughters in his family who were older than Ah Yun to marry, and his uncle did accept the scoundrel's property.
This is not buying and selling a good girl, what is it? Two people who have no rights at all have actually bought and sold a young girl from a good family, what kind of sin should this be?
As for why Ah Yun didn't kill the culprit at that time, that is, his uncle, but killed the scoundrel, in fact, the reason is also very simple, that person is still her relative after all, so she had to kill the scoundrel.
Besides, she didn't know any laws as a thirteen-year-old child. To be precise, she is legally blind at all, if she really understands the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, she is an orphan girl, with no power and no money, even if she will fight for her life, she will go to the government to complain, instead of murder. However, now that Sima Xianggong has just taken office, he is ready to overturn the case that has set the tone of the previous emperor, and is ready to change the death sentence of this child.
This is really the so-called punishment for not teaching! ”
"What, does Sima Xianggong dare to overthrow the edict of the previous emperor?"
"Hmph, he is Sima Xianggong, for the sake of his reputation, even the princess can be forced to death, what is the fact, he doesn't dare to do it. Haven't you heard that why Cai Fuyin and Zeng Hubu resigned and returned to their hometowns within one day, and the other was transferred to the northwest, in fact, it was because Sima Xianggong forced them to personally preside over the abolition of the new law. By the way, I heard that it is the exemption law. Ma Guangzhu said angrily.
"Alas"
The news that the exemption law will be abolished has long been rumored, and they, the common people, can only sigh.
Although the new law is a law that harms the people in the end, this exemption law is still convenient for the people, and if it is really to be abolished, the people will be at a loss.
"That's right, buying and selling women from good families is a big crime, not to mention, it's still a young girl who is keeping filial piety."
"But who let Sima Xianggong be in power now? I heard that since the death of the first emperor, his health has not been very good, and if he is stirred up by this case, he will have to be angry to death. ”
"Yes! Although the new law implemented by Xianggong is not very popular with the people, at least, he is still fair in his work and honest in his life. ”
Listening to everyone's further and further talk, Zhang Shusheng hurriedly diverted the topic and asked: "Okay, don't go far, that case is not something that we little people can participate in." What is Liu Gongzi's next article, will you tell you about it again? ”
"Phew! The next one, it's not interesting, just the case of that scum, there's nothing to say? The mention of this person makes me sick. Hearing this, Liu Gongzi spat out the window and said in disgust.
"Yes! To say that he is a well-dressed beast is an insult. ”
"Indeed, he is not even as good as a beast."
When it comes to the Iron Nail case, everyone will think of one of the protagonists of this case, Chen Shiru, and everyone is extremely disgusted, and even his name is reluctant to mention it.
The boy at the next table became interested and hurriedly asked, "Young Master Liu, this is your fault." Everyone knows about the iron nail case, you can talk about it if you don't talk about it, but what are the other meanings on those two pieces of paper? For example, what does this Beren mean? Moreover, I also heard that he didn't actually know about that case, but was just implicated, and the ruling authorities at that time sentenced him a little too severely. What's more, what does this matter have to do with Sima Xianggong? ”
"I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me. This is a sentence said by the famous minister Wang Dao of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it is most appropriate to use it here! Zhang Shusheng shook his head and said.
"Brother Zhang Xiandi is to the point. There are rumors in the market that he may not really know about this case, and I believe this. However, he was the only son of Chen Zhizhong, the prime minister of the previous dynasty, and that year, the emperor suddenly transferred him from Dr. Guozi of Zhengwupin to Taihu County as the governor of Qipin. It is said that it has dropped by two grades at once, this is a left move!
But, in fact, this was a harbinger of the emperor's intention to reuse him. My Great Song Dynasty's Zaifu must be in Lizhou County, this is a convention, and no one has ever broken it. The first emperor demoted him to the position of magistrate, just to let him experience it locally.
Of course, the biggest doubt in this case is whether he said anything about killing his mother. Perhaps, he really didn't say anything like that, and he really didn't know about killing his mother. However, he must have complained to his family, saying that he was unwilling to leave the capital and did not want to be a small magistrate in Taihu County. I think the officials of the Great Song Dynasty have always been proud of being court officials and ashamed of being local officials.
But what about him? Since the shadow supplement, he has never been a magistrate, and Taihu County has been the land of fish and rice since ancient times. ”
But what about him? And how did he repay the emperor's long?
It was his birth mother who died! His biological mother is not Chen Zhizhong's mother-in-law, just a concubine. Supposedly, he can not bring his biological mother to the office. However, as soon as he arrived, his biological mother died violently, and he asked him to find an iron nail from his head. If he didn't have to go back to Beijing, wouldn't his wife be stupid enough to kill him? ”
"I see, so he really deserves to be killed. Boren is referring to his biological mother! However, you haven't said yet, what does this have to do with Sima Xianggong? After Liu Gongzi finished speaking, the son at the next table suddenly realized and asked again.
At that time, this case involved Renren Avenue, but Sima Xianggong, who has always flaunted loyalty and filial piety, never showed up himself. The presiding judge of this case is Lord Su Song, and this person's ability to try the case is not inferior to Lord Xu. However, he has a very deep background! And his wife is also a famous minister, Kaifeng Mansion Yin Li Zhongshi, and is also the grandson-in-law of the old minister of the Renzong Dynasty, Lu Yijian, so he is also the great-grandson-in-law of the old minister. Coupled with the fact that he is an only child in the family,
Most of the people who intercede for him are the high-ranking families of our dynasty, including the Li family, the Lu family, and another person who no one expected, Sima Kang, the heir of Sima Xianggong, the heir of this famous minister came forward to intercede for him. You didn't think of it!
Therefore, although Sima Xianggong did not show up in this case, he had a great deal to do with this case. This is also the fundamental reason why after serving as prime minister, he dared to turn over Ayun's case, but did not dare to turn over the iron nail case. After all, this case involves Renren Avenue, and if it is turned out, Sima Kang will be implicated, wouldn't it be self-exposing his ugliness? ”
"But why did Sima Kang intercede for him?" Everyone knows about it, but not everyone understands why it's doing it.
"Humph! Think about it, where are they from, and where are the Li, Lu, and Sima families? ”
"Where's the guy, what the hell is this?"
Zhang Shusheng pursed his lips and replied, "Ghost question? Don't you even understand this? It's not that all of them are southerners on one side, and all of them are northerners! ”
Zhang Shusheng himself is a northerner, and he also opposes Wang Anshi's reforms, but he also hates the actions of those conservative families. These people only know how to stick to the old ways, they drink fine wine, eat meat, listen to songs and dances, where will they care about the life and death of the common people! There are thousands of mistakes in his misdemeanor, but his honest style has to be admired.
At this point, the implication is too wide, the ministers of the northern conservative faction are basically big families, and they are also the backbone of the conservative faction, and Wang Anshi and most of them are southerners, and they can only be regarded as emerging aristocrats, so they naturally belong to the camp of the reformers.
"Ahh Zhang Shusheng's words immediately shook the son at the next table into speechlessness.
