Chapter 648: Final Judgment
One. The final investigation results of the three law divisions were soon made public, and Yan Shifan, a corrupt official known to the world, was made public. Only embezzled 800 taels of silver, which shows that the rule of the Ming Dynasty is really to the point where there is no fish when the water is clear.
For this Geguo, Yan Shifan is quite satisfied. Although I couldn't calculate anyone, I just had to pass the test safely, and I couldn't ask too much.
Now that the facts of the case have been clarified, there is no objection from all parties. Now it's time for sentencing, and several bigwigs in the Criminal Department have asked for the opinions of the elders of Xiaoge, and reported a "return the stolen money, fine, and the result of one year."
But it was quickly beaten back by the cabinet, with Emperor Jiajing's Zhu Criticism on it, with two words "too light!" As soon as He Bin discussed with Tu Li and others, he would be fined another 800 taels. Downgrade one level, this will always work" Referring to the imperial court's punishment for corruption in recent years, this is already the heaviest punishment below 1,000 taels.
But within a few days of the report, the cabinet called back, and this time Zhu criticized the number of words, and said, "Wait for the law department Zhu Cao, don't read the "Da Ming Law"? He Bin and Tu Liden were dumbfounded,
The "Great Ming Law" was promulgated by Emperor Taizu back then, nearly 200 years ago, and things have changed over time. Many situations have changed, and in many judicial cases, it is no longer possible to make judgments in accordance with the "Da Ming Law", so the "Regulations on Questioning and Punishment" have been revised in successive dynasties to make subtle changes to the trial criteria for some cases.
Among them, the anti-corruption aspect is particularly prominent, if the sentence is according to the "Daming Law", embezzlement of 20 taels of silver will be punished by exile, and 40 taels will be beheaded. More than sixty taels of skin and grass filling, "That Ming Dynasty, all officials with a little power have to become * human skin pillows."
Obviously, the reason why not too many officials were executed for corruption after Hongwu was not because of how honest the officials were, but because the judicial regulations later relaxed this aspect. Now Emperor Jiajing has actually asked the Criminal Department to convict in accordance with the "Da Ming Law", what is his meaning, it is obvious!
"We are all fooled" He Bin sighed and said: "The emperor's move is to retreat into advance, it is really powerful!" He only now understands that Jiajing has long been ready for this hand. The generosity shown before was just to reduce trouble. It's just a plan to get away with it.
"Now it seems," Tu Li said with a gloomy face: "The emperor plans to severely punish the Duke of Donglou." He also came back to his senses, why the emperor didn't care about the amount of money Yan Shifan embezzled, because Jiajing only needed the conclusion that he was guilty. With this conclusion, Yan Shifan can be punished justifiably with the "Da Ming Law".
He only regrets it now, in order to take credit, he put the "eight hundred taels." said that it was his own credit, plus he was rewarded by the emperor, but Shen Mo was kicked out of the Purple Light Pavilion, so everyone believed what he said.
Tu Li has been in the sea for a long time, and he understands very well in his heart, if he goes to Yan Shifan to explain, he will say that "eight hundred taels." I didn't do it, I can only look in the mirror. It's not a person inside and out, even the emperor is offended. He felt that the emperor rewarded him with a python robe, although he did not necessarily regard himself as a trusted minister, but at least he had that meaning, why not take advantage of the situation to be a minister of all loyalty. Completely get rid of Yan Shifan?
Tu Li quickly made up his mind and said to He Bin: "Ministry, the emperor's meaning is very clear, if we don't set a heavy penalty for the East Building Gong this time, we don't want to pass the test." ”
"Alas," He Bin glanced at him complainingly and said, "You." Since the big head has been wiped out. What are you doing with those eight hundred taels? ”
"Who would have thought that the emperor would make a fuss about just eight hundred taels?" Tu Li said with a look of grievance: "Now is not the time to complain about me, let's go through this level first." ”
"Well, that's right." He Bin said: "I'll go to Xiaoge Lao to ask for instructions, will you go?" ”
"I'll forget it." Tu Li smiled bitterly: "Save that stinking scolding." ”
、、, heart by heart, heart. ,, heart, heart one by one, heart
He Bin left the yamen of the Criminal Department and soon came to Yan Fuzhong, who was Yan Song's godson. You don't need to report it to go straight to the back house.
When he arrived in the backyard, he saw Yan Yu coming out, and when He Bin inquired, Yan Shifan had already moved out of the house, and he had to go to another courtyard to find him.
He Bin said that since he had arrived, he couldn't leave in a hurry, so he had to say hello to the old pavilion first.
Yan Yu heard that He Bin was going to see his grandfather. smiled: "That's a good feeling, I have to go with you." ”
He Bin asked, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”
"It's not a big deal," Yan Yu said: "It's just that there is a grandfather's favorite pickle shop, which has been supplying our house for 20 years." Now the owner of the shop dared to ask my grandfather to come up with the name of the shop, so he came to me, "But you know, my grandfather hasn't written for a long time." ”
He Bin glanced at him and said in his heart: "It must be the benefit of others." But it's not pointed, broken. smiled and said, "The second son agreed, but I don't know how to talk to your grandfather, right?" ”
"Exactly." Yan Yu smiled and said, "Uncle He will definitely do the little nephew a favor." ”
"Okay, I'll help you out." He Bin nodded and smiled: "You don't have to go." ”
"That's a good feeling." Yan Yu smiled, and when he saw He Bin walking in, he couldn't help but smile: "You haven't asked me yet, what is the name of the store?" ”
"Except" Six Hearts House. Is there anything else? He Bin smiled and said, as Yan Song's godson, he already knew his clothes and umbrellas, and his hobbies and preferences.
Separated from Yan Yu, He Bin went to the cross-courtyard where the main study was located, and as soon as he entered, he saw Yan Song sitting in the courtyard, commanding
He Bin went over to salute, and Yan Song looked at him. said: "It turns out that Zishi is here, let's sit down." The people on the side hurriedly set up a machine. He Bin sat down after thanking him, and said softly: "It's not Huangmeitian yet, why did my father open the book?" ”
"It's packed in the sun," Yan Song said with some astonishment: "After thirty years of traveling in the capital, it's finally time to return." ”
He Bin was surprised: "A few days ago, didn't the emperor once again reject your old begging recital, and reward you with a thousand gold, and comfort you?" ”
"If I had taken the emperor's retention seriously, I would have died a long time ago." Yan Song shook his head and said, "The emperor kept me because he said it at the beginning." Be a model of a pair of kings and ministers who never suspect me. With this saying in the first place, how could you let me go so easily. ”
He Bin asked softly, "Is my father a little pessimistic?" As long as you don't go up again, won't there be nothing? ”
"As a courtier, you can't be so uninteresting." Yan Song shook his head and said: "On the one hand, the emperor ordered to stay, but on the other hand, he grabbed Yan Shifan and made me lose face, not because he wanted me to continue to go up. Prove to the world that I insisted on leaving, and the emperor couldn't stay. ”
"It turns out that the emperor is for his own face. He Bin sighed secretly, and couldn't help but be a little pessimistic: "If you keep going, what should we children and grandchildren do?" ”
"You" Yan Song looked at him and said, "You can only be a man with your tail between your legs." Asking for more blessings" may feel that what he said was too cold, Yan Song added: "Don't follow Yan Shifan to fool around, if I leave, he won't even be able to protect himself." Not to mention saving you! ”
Hearing that the spiritual leader Yan Ge was so pessimistic, He Bin couldn't help but sigh in his heart and hesitated. Yan Song saw the clue and said, "Is there any bad news?" ”
No, No, He Bin hurriedly shook his head and said.
"You don't want to lie to me" Yan Song said coldly: "You are the secretary of the Criminal Department, Yan Shifan is a criminal awaiting trial, if it weren't for the big incident, how could you not avoid suspicion and come here?" ”
He Bin was told that he was in his heart, and he also wanted to hear the opinion of the elder Ge, so he told the matter 1510. "Heart, heart by heart
After listening to He Bin's words, Yan Song's face did not have the slightest sadness. Instead, he showed a relieved expression and said to He Bin: "Quickly help me up." ”
He Bin didn't understand what he meant, but he still helped the old pavilion up according to his words. Yan Song stood up. Facing the direction of the West Garden. He knelt down slowly, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you for your grace, thank you for your grace!" "The look of gratitude does not seem to be fake. He Bin secretly said: "Godfather is not old and confused, right?" ,
After helping the elder of the pavilion up again, He Bin asked what he meant, Yan Song said excitedly: "The emperor is still merciful after all, this time you are all fine, and the old man can go home with peace of mind."
"What about the little pavilion elder?" He Bin asked.
"He," Yan Song sank again, and said slowly: "I can't die"
"That is, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped?" He Bin said: "Father, let's save the elder pavilion." ”
"You're confused!" Yan Song said sternly: "Yan Shifan has angered the emperor again and again. If you don't let Your Majesty breathe this out, you will never live in peace! He sighed and said, "Over the years, he has been too unspeakable." There are many things like arrogance and lasciviousness, power and harm, misleading us, etc., so it is also appropriate for him to be punished. ”
He Bin was moved by Yan Song's words, and the matter has come to this day, and they do have some resentment towards Yan Shifan. Now that Yan Shifan can be convicted of the crime alone, everyone can live in peace, which is really not a bad idea. But he said sadly: "Could it be that you really watched Brother Donglou suffer?" ”
"If he doesn't suffer, you will suffer" Yan Song glanced at him with some amusement, and then said with a straight face: "As long as you all settle down and take care of each other, Yan Shifan will not be embarrassed" and paused: "It is not impossible to recover in the future." ”
Everyone who is a father has said this, and He Bin doesn't need the emperor not to be anxious about the eunuch, so he nodded with a painful face: "In this way, it is only difficult for Xiaoge to be old!" ”
"Hmm" Yan Song nodded slowly and said: "You can do this matter directly, don't tell Yan Shifan, you don't have to regenerate branches." He still knows a lot about his son's ability to toss, but now that the general trend has gone, their father and son are like whales stranded out of water, and the more they toss, the faster they will end.
He Binxin said: "This is the best. was about to get up and say goodbye, but suddenly remembered what he had promised Yan Yu, so he chuckled and said, "There is one more thing." But it's not annoying, it's an elegant thing. ”
After "talking", Yan Song was already exhausted, and his whole body was leaning on the recliner.
He Bin put the matter of the inscription of the Six Hearts. Tell Yan Song to listen, Yan Song nodded slowly after listening: "The boss of that family has begged me many times, but my father thinks he is winning selling pickles, so he has not agreed." ”
"Then I'll get back to him." He Bin said softly.
"No need." Yan Song shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Now think about it, who wins better than whom?" They are dirty on the outside and clean on the inside, we are clean on the outside and hazy on the inside, but they are not as good as others. He said slowly: "I'm tired today and can't write to him; In two days, in two days he should send me this year's first pickles, and then I will write to him in person. ”
"That's a great grace." He Bin exclaimed: "He really has green smoke on the ancestral grave."
"Maybe it's black smoke." After Yan Song finished speaking, he closed his eyes.
He Bin knew that he was tired, so he bowed and quietly retreated.
After He Bin went back, he summed up with Tu Liyi. really bypassed Yan Shifan, and directly raised the sentencing to one dismissal of all official positions and juelu, and sent Leizhou to fill the army!
This time it was really a dead hand, Leizhou is across the sea from Hainan Island in Guangdong, it is a terrible wild place, and those who go to fill the army basically can't come back.
This time Jiajing is finally satisfied, Zhu Pier!
So the one-eyed Yan Shifan, who was drunk and lying on the knees of a beauty and woke up to the power of the world, was finally sentenced to 8,000 miles in exile for embezzling a huge sum of 800 taels.
The crime is surprisingly light, and the punishment is surprisingly heavy. The true meaning of this can only be experienced by the Chinese people.
The verdict took effect immediately, and the next step was to arrest Yan Shifan, who was awaiting trial outside of prison, and then send him to the South China Sea to fish.
But when there is a big problem, who will announce it to Xiao Ge Lao? Who's going to arrest him? Yan Shifan is famous for his murder and prostitution for a long time, although he has suffered at this moment, but his father and his comrades are still safe and sound, who dares to say that he can't make a comeback in the future? The chief of the three law divisions, you look at me, I look at you. No one dared to go to his house to arrest anyone.
But they all know that this matter can't be delayed for too long, and it will change after a long time! After remembering a person. That is Gao Yinglong, who impeached Yan Shifan! It's only fitting to let this kid go!
So Hu Zhi found Zou Yinglong and handed him this glorious and arduous task, Gao Yinglong agreed happily, and said: "It is only natural that I impeach and arrest people!" So he asked for a holy decree and called a hundred soldiers. is going to go to Yan's house.
When He Bin saw him walking north, he hurriedly stopped: "Yan Shifan is not in Yan Mansion, he lives in Shichahai Courtyard." ”
So the team turned around and rushed straight to Shichahai!
Yan Shifan thought that he had too many constraints at home in his early years. Therefore, in Shichahai, choose a beautiful place, build a luxury garden, collect the world's fine wine, store the stunning beauty, and live the erosive life of the wine pond meat forest.
Originally, when his mother was critically ill, Yan Shifan returned to Fuzhong, and then never returned to the other hospital; But a few days ago, I didn't deal with my father, and I was taken to another courtyard by Yan Song, so I simply sang day and night. Gather fox friends and hold that uncovered meeting. It's a hundred times happier than at home.
Of course, he wasn't completely alert. still left Luo Longwen at home, and ordered him to report as soon as there was any trouble. But now he made a mistake, although Luo Longwen was favored by him, but after all, he was a newcomer in the house, and his foundation was not deep. Once the old man ordered that the news should not be revealed to him, he was easily concealed.
When Luo Longwen finally learned that the government was going to arrest people. Bu Yinglong has already ordered his troops to set off. He hurriedly rode his horse and galloped straight to the other courtyard, and finally saw the demonstration mage who was enjoying Mei Ji's naked massage before Gao Yinglong arrived.
"East Building, the big thing is not good, the government has been ordered to get people!" Luo Longwen said urgently.
Yan Shifan said lazily: "Who to arrest?" ”
"That's you!" Luo Longwen said loudly.
When the Meiji heard this, they were so shocked that their faces were pale, and they lost their weight, twisting Yan Shifan's words painfully. Yan Shifan was so painful that he did it all at once, kicked one out, covered it and said, "Get the down!" So the beautiful women and the courtiers all went down, leaving only the wolves all over the ground.
Yan Shifan pulled a sheet and surrounded his lower body, his fat body trembled, and he said with a fierce face: ", dare to catch me!" Lao Tzu can't pinch him to death! Then he said in a loud voice, "Yan Jia".
"In!" Then there was a strong man with an eight-foot-long iron tower, who rushed in from the outside with the wind, hugged his fists and said, "What does the master command?" ”
"Call up the brethren in the other courtyard." Yan Shifan said with a fierce look in his eyes: "Gather in the front yard, no one is allowed to let in!" , it depends on who can move a hair of Lao Tzu! ”
"Yes!" That Yan Jia responded loudly, and rushed out with the wind, repeating Yan Shifan's order at the top of his throat, and then there was a commotion outside, and there was chaos!
After a while, Yan Shifan also got dressed. Accompanied by Luo Longwen, he came to the front yard. Waiting for the official who came to arrest people. saw that the guards were already lining up in front of the door, these were all outlaws he had gathered, and they would definitely cut down the incoming offenders to the ground.
The next moment, the men retreated, separated, and made way for a passage.
Yan Shifan exploded his lungs in anger and roared: "What did Lao Tzu tell you!" Who dares to step forward. There is no forgiveness for killing".
"You dare to kill even if you are sent to Qincha". I saw that Bu Yinglong was holding a golden holy decree high and walked in with a solemn face. Everywhere they went, everyone got out of the way, and no one dared to stop it!
Seeing the tragic image of his own invincible people, Yan Shifan's fat face turned pale in an instant. He finally knew that his power was nothing more than a fox and a fake tiger, but now the tiger is powerful. The end of his fox is here!
The snot is running badly, and the mouth and throat are swollen, and I want to be freed.
