"Homicide?" Hearing the following report, Lotte couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his words were very displeased: "Where are the military officials of Kaifeng Mansion and the managers joining the army?" ”

Kaifeng Mansion Yin, in the current words, is the mayor of the capital, and the following murder is naturally judged by the president of the court and the president of the court under the mayor, and the officials and managers join the army, and how can Lotte be tried by the mayor of the capital, so that Huizong Zhao Ji can go to Dali Temple to try the case.

In fact, Bao Zheng did not try any cases during the period when he knew Kaifeng Mansion from the official authority of Sanpin Longtu Pavilion, and during the period, he mainly suppressed the powerful and powerful people in Biandu and rectified the rule of Kaifeng Mansion, but he tried a lot of cases when he served as the magistrate, Dali Temple and Zhizhou, but in order to meet the needs of the audience's taste, and for the people's interpretation of the idealized Bao Lord, he let Bao Gong take the lead and replace the official and the manager to join the army in Kaifeng Mansion to try the case.

is not only not in his position and does not seek politics, Bao Zheng is a person who is strict with himself, and he will not go beyond the bounds.

Hu Shi once commented on Bao Zheng and said that Bao Zheng is an arrow-like character. In ancient times, there were many elaborate stories of prison breaks, either recorded in history books or circulated among the people, and ordinary people did not know the origin of these officials, so they piled up these stories in one or two people. Among these detective-style Qing officials, folk legends somehow selected Bao Zheng of the Song Dynasty to make an arrow stack, and shot him in many prison cases. Bao Zheng became the Sherlock Holmes of the country.

The reason why Meng Laoyi is familiar with Lotte is because Meng Laoyi is also on an errand under the Kaifeng Mansion Governor, and as the old official of the Mansion, Meng Laoyi immediately felt that it was unusual, but he didn't say much.

Hearing Lotte's tone was very displeased, the messenger hurriedly replied: "Returning to the words of the eldest master, the old man who pushed the official and the manager to join the army in this case can't make up their minds, so let the little one bring the case file to the big master for you to read and decide!" ”

Hearing this, Lotte's brows couldn't help but tighten, knowing that this case of pushing officials and managers to join the army must be extremely involved and troublesome, so they will be presented to themselves, and others can hide, but they can't hide themselves, so they have to order the messenger: "Submit it!" ”

In order to understand the situation in the Kaifeng Mansion, Meng Laoyi has been left in the inner hall by Lotte, and has been an old official in the Kaifeng Mansion for many years, and immediately knew the trickiness of the case, and took the opportunity to say: "If the lord feels that this case is tricky and cannot be disposed of, he may wish to hand it over to Dali Temple, the Son of Heaven has issued an edict, and the Kaifeng Mansion with a large population in Biandu cannot be judged and completed, and it can be transferred to Dali Temple for trial." ”

Lotte nodded, took the case from the messenger, and read it carefully after unfolding it, his brows furrowed even tighter.

As a personal attendant, Wu Song never leaves Lotte, although Meng Lao Yi is a person who is familiar with Lotte, and before he fully knows the roots of Meng Lao Yi, Wu Song will not let a person who does not know the details be alone with Lotte, and after following Lotte for nearly two years, Wu Song knows that the case that can make Lotte frown must be an extremely difficult case.

Exhaling a long breath, Lotte handed the case file in his hand to Old Servant Meng, and said, "Old Meng, you have been on an errand in the house for many years, have you ever seen such a case in the past?" ”

Receiving the case file handed over by Lotte with both hands, Meng Lao also frowned, and then said: "Master Fu Yin, the little one has been an official for more than 30 years, and he has never seen such a case file, but these things like the case file, Xiao Lao'er heard about it when he was young, but he didn't expect such an accident to happen!" ”

Lotte couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "So saying that such an insulting thing to the royal majesty is not as simple as having existed for a few days, it has been happening decades ago?" ”

Wu Song stood aside, and when he heard Lotte say this, he couldn't help but feel tricky for Lotte, Lotte must have involved the royal family when he said this, which is a tricky thing for any official.

Then Lotte said again: "Wu Song, you can also take a look!" ”

Wu Song, who is real in history, has been a magistrate in the yamen, so he naturally knows those things in the yamen, took over the case file of the old official Meng, and couldn't help but spit in a low voice after reading the words: "The eldest husband is starving to death, and he will never do this thing of pawning his wife and concubine, let alone worrying about the nobles of the heavenly family!" ”

"Wife". A man pawns and mortgages his wife like an object, and becomes the wife of another man for a certain period of time, and he obtains a certain amount of money, and then redeems his wife after repaying the money. Pawning a wife was a method adopted by poor families in ancient times. This wind originated in the Song Dynasty.

"The Long Story of Renewal of Capital and Governance": "Or fake loans in the annexed house, they will accept their wives and daughters as hostages." "If you want to sell your wife and daughter, your father and son will not be protected." Southern Song Dynasty Hongmai "Yi Jianzhi": "A classic wife, unclothed, begging for 100 yuan every day, can only survive with porridge." In addition to pawn wives, there are also hired wives, that is, the wives are rented out and the retainer is charged on time.

"Wu Song has lived in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for a long time, and he still knows something about the affairs of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and due to the famine year, the age of the year, the poverty of the family and the usury, etc., there are often pledges and wives sold by the people, and the pawn is different from the employment. Lotte said slowly, and then said: "It's just that I really didn't expect that the dignified emperor would do such a disgraceful thing!" ”

The case presented by the messenger is essentially just an ordinary case, not even a murder case, during which the content is that there is a businessman from the south who came to Biandu to do business, and a woman in the family died of illness at home, which is an ordinary thing, but this woman was hired by a hired wife, and the identity of this hired woman is quite unusual, and she is a concubine of the children of the Zhao royal family.

Yes, you are not mistaken, this woman is the concubine of a child of the Zhao royal family, and it is not yet the time for the Northern Song Dynasty to fall.

In ancient times, the status of the concubine was low, and it was done according to the rules and contracts of the pawn population, and the concubine died, and the merchant who hired his wife only needed to pay some money to the children of the royal family, but the children of the royal family were unwilling, and a lawsuit was handed to Kaifeng Mansion.

In essence, this case is very dirty, far less clean than those murders and family disputes, Lotte is very disgusting: "These people are royalty, and they even do this kind of dirty deeds, and the court doesn't care?" ”

"The imperial court can't control it, so something like this happened!" Meng Lao said, "This actually has a lot to do with the support of the royal family in this dynasty. ”

"Aren't the emperor's heirs and nobles all Lu rice with a court?" Lotte said.

"Some of them are, but they are dignitaries in this dynasty, and they don't take those royal children seriously!" Meng Lao'er said, and then said: "When today's son, all from the line of Emperor Taizong, Emperor Renzong has no queen, and the thirteenth son of King Pu succeeded to the throne, which is Emperor Yingzong, Xiao Lao'er was on an errand in Kaifeng when he was young, and he heard that there is a prince of King Pu in Guizhou, because of the matter of Lu Mi and the local officials.

The little duke went to Guizhou to appease the envoy to ask for Lu rice, but the official didn't give it back a reason, saying that the court didn't go to the court, and the little duke didn't give up, and finally went to Emperor Zhezong, and finally Emperor Zhezong issued a holy decree to solve the matter. ”

Then Meng Lao sighed: "The descendants of King Pu are still like this, not to mention other royal bloodlines!" ”

The Zhao royal family in the Song Dynasty was divided into three lines, Taizu Zhao Kuanyin, Taizong Zhao Guangyi, and Wei King Zhao Tingmei.

Lotte couldn't help but nodded: "In the one hundred and sixty years since the founding of my dynasty, the royal family has produced countless descendants and many descendants, and the imperial court can't afford to raise such idlers!" ”

"Actually, this thing is very common in Jiangnan!" Meng Laoguan continued, "The people who live in Biandu are all these recent generations of royal nobles, and the royal families who are a little farther away have all moved to other cities, and you also know that the three redundancies of this dynasty are the most serious from the Renzong Dynasty, and Emperor Renzong is not allowed to use a large number of compression packages for all expenditures including royal expenses, and those branch royal families naturally take less Lu rice."

Especially in the Taizu family, they get even less money, and even get far less money from local petty officials, and they often can't even get money, so the phenomenon of shrews scolding the street is very common, these people often go to the place to make money, but the local officials refuse because the court does not have this expense, so these days the emperor's heirs want to embarrass the emperor Lao Tzu, see if you still give some money. ”

Wu Song shook his head on the side and said: "What is the surname of the Son of Heaven, what is their surname, they have royal blood, they have status, face, and it is normal to be arrogant, but once they are poor and become humble, let them go to farm and work as people, they are still not happy." ”

In any dynasty in China, it would be to kill the head to talk about the royal family in this way, but the Northern Song Dynasty was relatively relaxed in its remarks, and it was not even inferior to the modern times of later generations, so there was nothing wrong with Wu Song talking like this.

Lotte suddenly remembered a sentence in later generations: "I'd rather cry in a BMW than laugh behind a bicycle." The sentence was set with a sigh: "These people would rather cry proudly than laugh humbly." ”

Meng Lao said with a smile: "If you can't ask for a salary, you don't dare to rebel, so what should I do?" These royal nobles naturally have a way, the court doesn't give money, they don't give face, and they change their methods to embarrass the court, see if you give it or not! ”

Wu Song said: "The royal family of Biandu are all close relatives, and they are very wealthy, and those who can do this kind of dirty deeds can only be those royal heirs who are far away." ”

"What Master Wu said is good!" Meng Lao said, "Those royal families who are far away in the south, because they can't get a salary, in order to get by, they have begun to change the law of disgusting court, and rent their concubines to others for profit, and even some of them really have no rice to cook, so they directly rent out their wives together."

Because these people have royal status, it can be said that there is an endless stream of rent seekers, not only business tycoons, but also celebrities. For those celebrities, the happiest thing in the world is nothing more than that!"

Old Servant Meng shook his head and sighed softly. An old official who has been in the government for many years and has seen countless worlds, and who has already developed an iron heart, can sigh like this, and the helplessness of his heart can be imagined.

Wu Song raised his eyebrows tightly.

At this time, Lotte couldn't help but sigh, he traveled to the Song Dynasty, and actually heard that these princes and grandsons made money by making chickens with their wives, and their hearts also understood, and they could better understand why the Jin State attacked the Great Song Dynasty, and Qinzong Zhao Huan vigorously made peace, why the emperor was so calm about the compensation for land cution, and even after the Jin people broke through the outer city of Kaifeng, Zhao Huan would even sell his mother and wife and daughter.

"May I ask if the Boss of the Mansion Yin is here, and I also bothered to inform the Boss of the Mansion Yin, and the next official sentenced Lin Ning and the manager to join the army Qiu Yuandu to ask for a meeting!"

At this time, I only heard someone talking to Shakuchi and Tu Si who were guarding outside the flower hall.
