In this way, after being taken to the flail for half a day, Lu Qiuchao was released by Lantian County because there were no eyewitnesses to identify him.

Chao Buzhi couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "This proves that this county order is a good official, and Lu Qiuchao was released, which is a good thing!" Why did you come to Chang'an to rescue him again? ”

Drama Meng smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Brother Chao, listen to me finish speaking." ”

Although Lu Qiuchao was released, he always felt that he had killed someone, and he couldn't forget the hateful eyes and heart-rending cry of Jiang De's only son when he looked at him, so... So he went to Chang'an Mansion again to surrender himself. ”

Even if Chao Buzhi heard this, he couldn't help patting his forehead, how could there be such a person in this world?

"What about the Lantian County Order?" Chao Buzhi asked.

"The Lantian County Commander was taken into custody by the Tingwei Mansion for the crime of dereliction of duty." Ji Meng smiled bitterly.

Chao Buzhi is a little speechless, Lu Qiuchao is simply a cheat!

Yes, you are willing to be punished by the law, but aren't you following the Lantian County Order?

You still can't be too willful!

"How is Chang'an Mansion judged?" Chao Buzhi asked.

"The officials of Chang'an Mansion wrote in the verdict: In the past, Gaozu entered the customs and made an appointment with his father, and the law was three chapters; The murderer dies, the wounder is punished, and the theft is punished. Therefore, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, Lu Qiuchao was sentenced to death, and he was executed after the approval of the Imperial Governor's Office. However, Lu Qiuchao took revenge for his friends, which was in line with the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, and Lantian County was awarded his righteousness because of his tomb. Drama Meng said with a wry smile.

Chao Buzhi was not speechless now, but a little painful, and asked, "How did the Tingwei Mansion approve the verdict?" ”

"Ju Meng's friend told me that the Tingwei Mansion didn't know how to judge because it was not accurate, so it had reported the matter to the Imperial Historian's Yamen, but it may be because it is more difficult to judge, so there is no news so far." Ju Meng said worriedly: "It's just that this matter has been a long time ago, and I'm afraid that it will be approved suddenly, and Lu Qiuchao's life will be worried!" ”

At the same time, as the deputy prime minister and the supreme supervisor, he also has the responsibility of assessing the world's prisons, so he is also the highest judge.

Therefore, it is also in accordance with the procedure for the Imperial Governor's Office to report the matter.

Chao Buzhi understands, these days, Chao Cuo and others are busy fighting with Tao Qing, how can they have the time to care about these idle things?

The top priority now is to cut the domain, although Lu Qiuchao's kind of thing is related to morality and law in Chao Cuo's eyes, but it has not yet reached the level of impatience, according to his temperament, this matter will definitely be delayed.

Thinking of these, Chao Buzhi smiled and said: "You can rest assured of Lu Qiuchao's life, now that the eyes of the princes of the court are not on him, he can live a few more days." ”

"As long as you can help Lu Qiu get rid of his sin within half a month."

Drama Meng said with a wry smile: "It's not a secret, Drama Meng has some friendship with the chariot general Zhou Yafu, and originally wanted to seek his help, but when he submitted a post yesterday, the people in his house told him that the chariot general was ordered to go out on a mission and was not in Chang'an, and he hadn't returned to his house for more than a month." ”

Chao Bu's heart said that you two don't just have some friendship, I can't know how deep your friendship can be?

"Brother Chao, what can I do?" Drama Meng asked hopefully.

Because Ju Meng found that Chao Buzhi's actions were quite disciplined, I am afraid that the family is extraordinary.

Hearing this, Chao Buzhi pondered carefully for a while and said, "Isn't there anyone who raises objections to the verdict of Chang'an Mansion?" ”

"I want to hear and see." Drama Meng Zhengse said.

"In fact, as an outsider, the verdict of Chang'an Mansion is pure nonsense."

"Loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, etiquette, righteousness and shame, this is the criterion on which the Han Dynasty depends, so the dynasty rules the world with filial piety, rather than strict law, law, and heaven like the Qin Dynasty, filial piety and the rule of law should not be opposite, but make up for each other and unify."

"According to the law of the Han Dynasty, if Peng Zhang's father broke the law, then no matter whether the county lieutenant Jiang De is a good official or a bad official, it is natural for Jiang De to kill him, and it is also allowed by the law.

"If Peng Zhang's father is not guilty and died in vain, then the county lieutenant Jiang De, as a Han official, dared to commit suicide and disregard people's lives, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, he should also be punished with polarity, Lu Qiuchao killed a death row prisoner who should have been executed by the executioner, and he was avenging his friend, which is in line with the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, what is the crime?" Chao Buzhi said slowly.

The three of them were stunned when they heard this, and they all looked at Chao Buzhi with some incredulity.

"What's wrong? Do I have flowers on my face? Chao Buzhi said with a smile.

Ju Meng smiled bitterly: "It's not what you mean, but what you said, there is a small official in Chang'an Mansion, and he said the same, but it's a pity that others are soft-spoken, which is not enough to affect the decision of Chang'an Mansion." ”

Chao Buzhi suddenly wondered: "Oh? And such a person, who is this person? ”

"This person's name is Zhang Tang, and he says something similar to you." Drama Meng said.

Zhang Tang? Chao Buzhi was also stunned, it turned out to be him, if it was him, it would not be surprising that he could have this insight.

Because although Zhang Tang's usage is severe, it is often covered up with the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the emperor's will is used as the criterion for prison management.

There is a different idea in Chao Bu's heart, this Zhang Tang ability is there, and now Chao Cuo is not enough manpower, if he uses Zhang Tang, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?

"But Brother Drama, you have no other way to go now than this one." Chao Buzhi said: "Because only this explanation can block the mouths of people in the world." ”

Ju Meng nodded heavily, in this way, as long as he determines whether the county lieutenant Jiang De has a careless life, at least he has a target, and he doesn't have to bump into Chang'an like a headless fly.

However, Chao Buzhi's next sentence underestimated them again, because Chao Buzhi's words were, "But there is not much time left for you, because the 'Goshawk' Zhi will be appointed as a lieutenant in four days, and his deeds of being too punctual in Jinan, you must have heard of this person, this person is a real legalist, and the lieutenant has a great say in the matter of criminal law." ”

Ji Meng said confidently: "In less than four days, I will be able to investigate this matter clearly within two days." ”

This is the self-confidence of being the chief scoop leader, I'm afraid even Zhang Ou wouldn't dare to say such a thing.

Chao Buzhi said with a smile: "Brother Drama's ability, Chao Mou believes it, but are you sure that you can make this matter an iron case before Zhidu comes?" Can you influence the Imperial Mansion and the Imperial Doctor? ”

Ju Meng was silent, there was still a possibility in the Tingwei Mansion, but he couldn't rely on the Imperial Doctor at all.
