Chapter Forty-Six: Horse Racing

Gangnam West Road is the rainy season. The rain between the eaves of the pen ~ fun ~ www.biquge.info pavilion has intensified, the sound of rain through the window, and the monotonous sound of copper carving in the hall correspond to each other, when anxious, the moment of leaking bit by bit, is particularly embarrassing.

The third brother Wang Anshi went to ask for a doctor, the eldest brother Wang Anren went to report to the official, and the second brother Wang Andao went to ask the uncles who went fishing with him to collect evidence.

Only Wang Ziyue, Wu and three younger brothers are left in the family. Seeing that it has been a moment, the third brother and the doctor have not returned.

Wang Yi's mouth and nose were oozing blood, his face was pale like a dead man, his head was crooked, his clothes were disheveled, and there were traces of horseshoe kicking on his chest, and the whole person was holding his chest with his hands, as if there was a sharp pain there.

Wu was crying endlessly. Only Wang Ziyue still has a claim. She let Mo Xiang fry the ginseng soup, and then found the Yuan Hu San, crushed it and added it to the ginseng soup to stop bleeding and relieve pain.

When the decoction came, Wu and Wang Ziyue poured ginseng soup and crushed medicine foam into Wang Yi, who was unconscious.

Wang Ziyue kept holding his father Wang Yi's hand and touching his pulse, fearing that the beating would stop at any time.

The doctor, who was anxious with an umbrella and carrying a medicine box, finally followed Wang Anshi, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Wang Ziyue saw the third brother come back, and his heart finally settled down slightly. Hurriedly stepped aside and asked the doctor to check the pulse.

The doctor diagnosed Wang Yi's two wrists, and after a quarter of an hour, he said in a reassuring tone: "It's irrelevant, although it is dangerous, it can be treated, it hurts the lungs, but it has not hurt the heart, it can be treated." ”

Wang Anshi hurriedly beckoned the doctor to prescribe medicine.

The next day, the Linchuan Mansion was promoted to the court to try the "horse accident" of racing horses in the downtown area and causing people to be disabled.

The "Song Criminal Code" stipulates: "In the streets and alleys of the city and among the people, those who walk without reason shall be reduced by fighting and killing first; Those who kill or injure livestock will be compensated for the price, and if there is a public or private person who wants to leave quickly, he will not sit; Those who kill or injure others for any reason are considered to be negligent; Whoever kills or injures a person because of his horror and cannot be forbidden, shall be reduced by the second degree of negligence. ”

"Horse" means to run wildly, or to drive a car at a gallop. "No reason" refers to the absence of public and private affairs: official affairs, which refers to the urgent delivery of official documents, the recitation of imperial decrees, fire fighting and flood fighting, and other public affairs, which must be hurried and urgent, and private affairs, which refer to urgent affairs such as reporting funerals, sending patients for treatment, etc.

In other words, there are also "speed limit" regulations in the urban areas of the Northern Song Dynasty:

There is no 100,000 urgent matters, and there are pedestrians on the road, riding horses and galloping, horse-drawn carriages and other behaviors, which are illegal acts in themselves, regardless of whether they hurt people or not, are regarded as "dangerous driving".

If personal injury is caused by acts such as "horse racing" and "horse racing", the punishment will be "reduced by one degree" according to the sentencing standard of "intentional injury" in the criminal law of the Song Dynasty.

In other words, if a person is killed by "racing a horse-drawn carriage" or "racing a horse" on the street, it will be punished as the crime of intentional homicide reduced by one degree, that is, life imprisonment; If the horse is frightened, etc., resulting in the death of a person, the crime shall be reduced to the second or third degree, and the sentence shall be imprisonment for several years, or exile to the stabbing mate.

The current situation is that the "horse-racing cart" crashes into the horse, startles the horse, and seriously injures people. In this case, although the crime will be reduced to the third degree because it is not caused by the trampling of the horse that caused the accident, the sentence of the coachman to one or two years, or the exile of the assassin, will not be able to escape.

However, the ascension of the day was not smooth, and the carriage that caused the accident was now the family of Lord Xia Zhuxia, who had already paid homage to the privy envoy.

Because of this joint, the Wang family's local magistrates really want to seek justice, and they have to turn hundreds and eighty turns. Since then, the Wang and Xia families have also completely formed a big grudge.

Wang Ziyue sat in front of Wang Yi's bed, looked at Wang Anshi beside him, and said: "Third brother, this time my father has such a big event, I definitely can't leave at this time and go to get married." Third brother, can you write a letter for me and explain why? ”

Wang Anshi looked at his father on the sickbed, and then at his sister's face, stopped at Wang Ziyue with a complicated gaze, and suddenly sighed:

"Although it is possible to repair the book and suspend this matter with the Zhang family. However, if I take care of this situation now, I will take the test, and I will take the test a few years later, so it doesn't matter. ”

"How could the third brother say such a thing? Now that there is no one at home to support you, you have also seen it, how difficult is it to tear up the lawsuit? If the third brother can't set up a household, what hope does our Wang family have? Although Wang Ziyue's voice was not loud, it carried an undoubted firmness.

"It's better for me to stay and take care of the family," Wang Anren, who had just entered the hall from outside, walked towards the two of them and said, "The eldest brother is my father, and now that there has been such an accident, for my brother, I should let go of the business of fame and accompany my father." ”

……

Chai Lin looked at Fang Zhongyong in front of him, holding a pile of woodworking materials and knocking on them. In the midst of boredom, he stepped forward, picked up a semi-circular, graduated large piece of wood from the table, shook it at Fang Zhongyong, and said, "What is this?" ”

"An improved semi-circular instrument, I call it a protractor." Fang Zhongyong replied while continuing to chisel the wooden board in his hand.

"Where's this?" Chai Lin picked up a pair of triangles next to him and a large piece of wood with scales.

"Triangle." Fang Zhongyong stretched and stood up.

"What's the use of these?" Chai Lin had a lazy tone, since the day he heard that Wang Anshi said that Wang Ziyue had made a family appointment, he always looked lazy.

Fang Zhongyong poured a glass of water into the white porcelain cup with a missing mouth from the white porcelain teapot on the table, and drank it himself. On the one hand, he gave Chai Lin a melon scoop and said:

"What's the use? Write you specific river engineering implementation measures, and draw a picture. The specific appearance is not clear, and the number of literate and grammatical people is limited after all, so that those who can't understand writing and ink imagine construction? ”

Chai Lin took Fang Zhongyong's palm, and then he deliberately put on a cheeky appearance of "Lord Chai", and said with a smile: "Others say that this official has the best master book in the world, and he doesn't need to do anything everywhere, and all the notes are ghostwritten by the master book, and this official thinks so." ”

Fang Zhongyong said helplessly: "That's not praising me, that's hurting you, have you figured out the situation?" But don't say it, when I go to Beijing to try, you can carefully find a good master book, and everything will be ghostwritten for you. ”

"Ahhhh Don't, don'tβ€”people need you so much. Chai Lin's performance was full of emotion, like an abandoned woman.

Fang Zhongyong staged a contemptuous emoji of Wang Zhi, and said with a pruning eye: "Who did you learn this from?" Oh, I know, it must be with the spring, summer, autumn, and winter that you left behind as Lord Chai, little ladies, let's learn. ”

"Okay, okay, to be honest, I really don't want to be this Rausch officer. When I came this time, I thought about it.

When the river control is completed for a while, I will resign from the table, hang the seal and leave, and go to Bianjing City with you. As for you, go to the meeting, and I'll go and expand the business of our Yue Wenzhai to the bustling metropolis of Bianjing. Chai Lin crossed his hands on his waist and said in high spirits.

Fang Zhongyong lowered his head and groaned, looked at Chai Lin, and his expression gradually became serious.

Chai Lin looked at that look, as if he was going to say something to him again, "Although you don't like it, but your father likes it" Yunyun's thoughts worked, but he had already made a heart:

Hengzhu can't marry Wang Ziyue now, instead of being this official who ties his hands and feet everywhere and doesn't rely on his own real talents, it is better to go to his own world to travel and make a fortune.

Who knew that Fang Zhongyong opened his mouth and said seriously: "It's not just Yue Wenzhai's business, we also have many other businesses, we can go to Bianjing to try our hand." That's fine, business matters, you are in the light, I am in the dark, let's add two to five, not bad. ”

As he spoke, the two looked at each other with sinister eyes. Laugh.
