"If a gentleman learns the Tao, he loves others, and if a villain learns the Tao, he hangs to death. Han Dashen is the same as Shi Shenzheng back then. ”

"I usually participate in politics, and I am respectful, but I didn't expect there to be such a witty side."

"Now Dacheng will be able to get out safely. Who would dare to say that he had taught his disciples badly? ”

"There are three thousand saints and disciples, and only seventy-two can be called sages. is always a saint's disciple, and it is inevitable that there will be unscrupulous people. What's more, Han participated in politics and studied under Dacheng, and he was worth ten sentences. ”

Confucius once said that 'a gentleman loves others when he learns the Tao, and a villain is easy to make when he learns the Tao', talking about the importance of education. Han Gang's homophonic hanging, but linked the words of the saint with the death of forgiveness.

Many times, a joke is more useful than a righteous rebuttal. The discussion that came because of the forgiveness and surrounded Cheng Hao disappeared under Han Gang's scorn.

Standing in front of the Kaifeng Prison, Li Da, the young secretary of Dali Temple, admired Han Gang very much. Not for Han Gang's respectful side, but for his ruthlessness.

If he wanted to commit suicide, he would have committed suicide a long time ago. Only now did he commit suicide in Kaifeng Prison, and if you want to say that there is no shady, you have to believe it. And at present, it is the Han Gang party that controls the inside and outside of Kaifeng Mansion, and the mastermind behind the scenes is about to come out.

It can be known who is behind the scenes, but it does not mean that it needs to be spoken.

Serving as an official in Dali Temple, redressing grievances and settling cases, this is Li Da's own job. But Li Da didn't feel that it was necessary for him to cry out for the punishment of vain death, nor did he feel that he needed to come forward and make an enemy of Han Gang.

Just deal with the past.

Li Da thought about it, and continued to talk and laugh with Zhang Biguang, the judge of Kaifeng Mansion.

Li Da and Zhang Biguang talked and laughed for a while, and the closed door of Kaifeng Mansion was finally opened from the inside.

The wooden-clad iron gate is three inches thick and nearly a foot high. I don't know if it's enough oil, or for the people who come and go frequently these days, it's been renovated, and there is no sound when it is opened, quietly showing the world behind the door.

The door opened in front of Li Da and the others, and a rancid and damp wind blew in the face, and several screams came from the depths of the prison to people's ears.

Standing in front of the door and looking inward, the deep corridor behind the entrance is black and hollow, as if it is a nest of countless unjust souls, which makes people prohibitive.

Dali sentenced Shaoqing Li Da, raised his feet without hesitation, and walked in.

Dali Shaoqing is divided into two people, the left and the right. Shaoqing decided to sentence the Zhulu prison case, and Shaoqing was sentenced to prison.

This time, the queen mother handed over the case to Kaifeng Mansion for trial. Before the Kaifeng Mansion concluded the trial and reported. Torture is an important offender, and his confession is related to the inside story of the whole case. Suddenly hanged himself without any warning, Dali Temple could not turn a blind eye, Li Da was sent to check his body, whether he committed suicide or was killed.

The clerk of Kaifeng Mansion had already written the autopsy documents, and Li Da had also read them. After discovering that the torture had hanged himself, he was only taken down to try to be treated, but after discovering that he was not saved, he did not move the body, but immediately reported it.

This is what the Kaifeng government reported. Layer by layer, all the way to the front of the palace.

But he didn't believe in these words at all, he only believed in his own eyes.

The cells on both sides of the corridor are filled with men, women, and children.

The entire Kaifeng Prefecture Prison has been filled by the criminals involved in the Great Rebellion Case and their relatives. Prisoners who had been detained in Kaifeng Prefecture on other charges were all transferred to another place.

The cell had obviously been cleaned, but the smell of corruption accumulated over the years was hard to go.

It can be seen that the families of the prisoners are at least not insulted by the usual prisoners in prison, and the diet is as clean and hygienic as possible - if they are acquitted, they can leave a favor. Even if the most ruthless is sentenced to exterminate the family, the wives and daughters of the official eunuchs will also be confiscated into the officials, and if they leave incurable injuries in the Kaifeng Mansion Prison, there will inevitably be a trouble on the side of the Teaching Workshop Division.

But after all, a prison is a prison, and compared with the life of the past, the sense of disparity that these family members feel in prison today is much greater than that felt by ordinary people when they were imprisoned in the old prison.

Li Da walked deeper, oblivious to the eyes of fear and anticipation in the cells on both sides. When a prisoner saw Li Da and Zhang Piguang in prison, he rushed over and shouted loudly, but neither his mournful screams nor the few familiar names he shouted could slow down Li Da's pace.

These people have nothing to do with his mission, what to see and hear, Li Dada knows better than anyone else.

But the jailer who followed closely behind did not act as if he did not see it. Immediately, two people came out and skillfully poured a basin of cold water on each of the injustices. In the case that it is inconvenient to educate with sticks, using cold water to calm people down is the best choice. In the cold of early spring, the wet body will make people more aware of the disadvantages of impulsiveness - during this time, several people have a high fever and are carried out of prison.

Li Da, who was smiling at the corner of his mouth, continued to chat with Zhang Biguang, who was accompanying him.

"Why don't you see the prefect ascending to the hall today?"

Li Da came to Kaifeng Mansion today, although he didn't go to the main hall, but he didn't hear any movement from that direction.

"Dafu is sick at home." Zhang Biguang replied.

Li Da's pace finally slowed down, and he was surprised: "Yesterday was fine!" What kind of emergency happened?! ”

Zhang Biguang sighed, "It's an emergency, sick lady." ”

"Renhe County Jun is sick?"

"Sick! Target! Husband! Person! ”

Zhang Piguang paused word by word, so that Li Da finally suddenly realized that it was not his wife who was sick, but his wife's illness. Without the word 'yes', the meaning is very different.

Of course Shen Kuo will get sick. Li Chengzhi of Hebei entered the Tribute Academy. Li Chang took over the appointment of Hebei Caosi again. In a few days, Sun Jue in Nanjing and Fan Chunren in Qizhou will all leave Beijing. Shen Kuo wants to enter the Privy Council, where can he find a ticket?

He left the New Party to help Han Gang, thinking that he could get Han Gang's help to enter Xifu. But after Han Gang became a governor, he turned his head and threw him aside. Not only Shen Kuo, but Han Gang threw all the supporters aside, and none of the supporters who belonged to the old party were left - of course, in return for the death of torture, it was enough for those old parties.

Maybe this is Han Gang's way of doing things, and he will definitely give something in return, but not necessarily the one he wants the most.

Li Da said with a smile while thinking: "A saint has words, and a gentleman has three fears, fear of the mandate of heaven, fear of adults, and fear of the words of saints. This Shen Mansion also has three fears, fear of light, fear of wind, fear of people! ”

“…… In fact, there is a fourth fear? Zhang Biguang pretended to whisper.

"What?"

"Mrs. Cumber!"

The two glanced at each other, laughing together, not minding the existence of the officials behind them.

Shen Kuo has no authority in the palace, and he is also regarded as a repeated villain in the court, but Zhang Piguang offended the empress dowager because he asked the second king to leave the palace in his early years, and left his name in front of the empress dowager.

"But if Governor Shen enters the West Mansion, it's impossible to think about it." Li Da said again.

"Why?"

"It is enough for the other ministers to listen to the orders of the Queen Mother, and the Shen Governor's Mansion will only dare to do it after asking the magistrate of Renhe County again."

"That's right." Zhang Biguang nodded again and again, "If the mansion becomes the privy deputy envoy." The queen mother said that she wanted to go east, and the county monarch said that she wanted to go west, so how can it be good? ”

"That can only lower the yellow nest!"

The book of Tang Zhongshu made Wang Duo afraid of guilt, and he was ordered to lead the army to resist the Yellow Nest. After he sent out the army, he only brought his concubine with the army. When his wife heard this, she was furious and chased after him. Hearing the news, Wang Duo hurriedly summoned his staff, "Huang Chao is from the south, and his wife is from the north. The staff replied, 'It's better to lower the Yellow Nest.' ’

It's a well-known joke. And today's Quanzhi Kaifeng Mansion Shen Kuo Shen Dafu, if compared to the fear of the inside, it is not allowed to let the sages at all.

Therefore, in the eerie black prison, there was a burst of merry laughter again.

Finally reaching the deepest part of the prison, Zhang Piguang stopped in front of a door.

The prison cell for forgiveness is here.

The jailer who was guarding the cell came up and saluted, opened the door, and stepped aside.

"Shaoqing, please." Zhang Biguang stretched out his hand and pointed to the door.

Li Da nodded, did not give up, and stepped into the prison door.

As soon as he walked into the cell, Li Da's demeanor immediately became calm.

A smiling and joking official has become Li Erlang who keeps thieves awake at night on Huainan Road.

Zhang Piguang, who followed in, also restrained his smile and looked at the newly appointed Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Only the wrinkles gathered in the center of the eyebrows, slightly dark red, like a third eye, no wonder he is called Li Erlang.

In the three years of the Huainan East Road Prison Yamen, Li Da successively cleaned up 117 backlog cases and rehabilitated 17 unjust prisons, which shocked Huaidong, which is one of the main reasons why he was able to do Dali Temple Shaoqing at the age of 40 - the other is that the old enemies of Zhengqing Cui Taifu and Shaoqing Han Jinqing, who have been entrenched in Dali Temple for 30 years, finally came to an end.

Li Da slowly circled around the corpse on the ground, and then stepped forward to examine it carefully from head to toe.

The fingernails are very clean, and there are not many traces of struggle before death, and the traces of the rope between the throats are very clear, and they are divided into eight characters at the back of the head, and the traces do not intersect, it does look like self-hanging, but it only looks like it.

Li Da straightened his waist, looked up at the beam, looked at the height of the torture shu, and opened his palm to gesture on the rope.

Compared with the height of the rope and the height of the beams, there is at least two feet behind, and there should be no way in an ordinary cell, but in this cell, a stool is suddenly placed, and there is no such thing in a normal cell.

And the stool is just a case, and there are several loopholes that cannot be concealed, which makes Li Da feel extremely dazzling.

Who did this?

Li Da straightened up and glanced behind him dissatisfied.

This job is too rough, and the prison officials of Kaifeng Mansion are at this level?
