Chapter 81: Pardon
Female Officer Lin nodded slowly, looked Lu Jinping up and down again, and said, "You are the great-grandson of Lu Deming, a man from Kaiguo County?" ”
Lu Jinping hurriedly said: "Yes." ”
"What about your parents?"
"My parents have passed away one after another, and my sister and I are the only ones left in the family. My sister married far away from Fangzhou, so I was the only one in the same state. ”
"I haven't heard that your ancestor is good at medicine, who did you learn your medical skills from? By the way, Feng Tingshi also said that you are good at solving cases, where did you learn this? ”
Lu Jinping said: "I learned it from a wandering Taoist, he didn't tell me his name, he only said that he had a fate with me, and taught me Taoism every day, which said that some of the Taoism he taught me can be used to cure diseases, and some can be used to solve cases." After teaching, he wandered away, not knowing what to do. This Taoist did not allow me to call him a master and apprentice, nor did he tell me his name. ”
Lu Jinping is now making up this lie, his face does not change, his heart does not beat, and even he himself believes it a little.
Lady Lin showed a relieved smile on her face: "It's rare that you have such an opportunity, you handled this case very properly, Empress Wei is very pleased, and specially ordered me to pass on the decree, you and Feng Tingshi and others will take the decree first." ”
The case of receiving incense had already been placed on the flower hall, and at the moment, Feng Tingshi, Luo Justice, and Lu Jinping bowed and stood. Lady Lin stood still in front of the incense case, unfolded the scroll, and read out the holy decree.
It stands to reason that Empress Wei can only issue her own decree, which obviously cannot be compared with the holy decree, but this time it was actually a holy decree directly issued by the emperor's order, but Empress Wei sent a female official to announce the decree, which shows that Tang Zhongzong's holy decree is also completely under the control of Empress Wei and others.
This holy decree is written in the style of the pun, which is very ancient, and Lu Jinping only understood a general idea, which means that Tubo is located in the Western Regions thousands of miles away, admires my Tang Tianwei, and comes to my Tang Dynasty from the Western Regions to ask for relatives. Their envoys accidentally hit and injured people because of driving a carriage, which was an accident, and the emperor's grace was immense, in order to take care of the feelings of the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo son-in-law, and pardon all the guilt of the Tibetan envoys.
This result has been expected by Lu Jinping, since in this case, there is no direct causal relationship in criminal law between the female beggar who died in the end and Yun Vulture driving and injuring him, then, he does not have the responsibility of intentional homicide, but a traffic accident, which is a crime of negligence, and the emperor's pardon is also reasonable.
The love of Weng's son-in-law in the holy decree is said from the perspective of Princess Wencheng. In addition, in the correspondence between the Tang Dynasty and the Tibetans, the Tibetan Zanpu claimed to be the "nephew" of the Tang Dynasty emperor, and the Tang Emperor also called the Tibetan Zanpu "son-in-law".
After the female official read the holy decree, she got up to say goodbye, and before leaving, she looked at Lu Jinping and said: "You are still young, you already have such a ability, you must cherish the skills given to you by God, serve the court, and have an unlimited future in the future." ”
Lu Jinping hurriedly bowed down and thanked him. Lu Jinping always felt that this middle-aged female officer looked at her a little strangely, and seemed to have something on her mind, could it be that this middle-aged female officer had taken a fancy to herself?
Lu Jinping shuddered, he read a lot of stories about the ancient Tang Dynasty, a lot of things about Wu Zetian, Empress Wei, Shangguan Wan'er, Princess Anle, Princess Changping, and so on. It is unknown whether these various legends were compiled by later generations to belittle them when they wrote so-called biographies, but it gave him the impression that there were many cases of women chasing men in the Tang Dynasty, so don't let yourself be favored by this old woman, it will be troublesome.
Before leaving, Lady Lin also explained that the handling of specific cases and the matter of reporting to the Tibetan envoys would be handed over to the Yamen of Tongzhou, and Empress Wei would not be informed separately.
Seeing off this female official, Feng Tingshi and Luo Judicial were obviously relieved. Feng Tingshi said to Lu Jinping: "Sir, you are in charge of this case, so it is up to you to inform the Tibetan envoys of the holy decree." ”
Lu Jinping nodded in agreement.
After saying goodbye, Lu Jinping took Ye Qingqing and rode straight to the mansion of the Tubo envoy Yunzi brother and sister.
Ye Qingqing knocked on the door, and when the porter saw that it was the two of them, he immediately changed his smiling face and was busy bowing. He already knew that Lord Lu, who was in charge of investigating and handling the case in this yamen, was the decider of the future and fate of their master, so he dared to slack off. Therefore, on the one hand, he asked another porter to hurry up to report, and he respectfully led the two to the flower hall to serve tea.
The Yunzi brothers and sisters hurried to the flower hall, and saw Lu Jinping with a slight smile on his face, Yunzi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it didn't seem to be a bad thing, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The lord is here, please forgive the little girl for not knowing, I can't go to the door to greet her, and please forgive me." ”
Lu Jinping smiled and said, "You're welcome, I'm here to tell you that the emperor has issued a holy decree to pardon your brother's car and hurt people." According to the Yamen's investigation, there is no direct causal relationship between the final death of this beggar and your brother, so he does not bear criminal responsibility for intentional homicide, and this matter is the end for you. There is no final conclusion on how the beggar died, but we will continue to investigate and find out what happened next. However, this has nothing to do with your brother, you can rest assured. ”
Yunzi and Yunhu were both overjoyed and thanked each other. Especially Yun Vulture, his face was about to laugh: "I knew that the Tang Emperor must be a magnanimous person, but I'm still very sorry." It was indeed my mistake in that incident, but unfortunately she was only a beggar and had no family, otherwise I would have paid her family a lot of money. ”
Lu Jinping said: "Although she is a fool, she doesn't know where she came from, and she doesn't know who her family is, but it still costs money to collect the bones, since you have this heart, this funeral will be handled by you." Express your apologies. ”
Yun Vulture hurriedly agreed in fear: "I have this intention, since the lord has taken the initiative, it is even more duty-bound, I will definitely bury her to express my apologies." ”
Lu Jinping nodded, and said: "In addition, the family that found the female beggar you hid is not rich, you should help them, it was they who found the female beggar and sent her to the Beitian Nursing Workshop, so as to block the causal relationship between you and the death of the female beggar.
"Okay, hearing what the lord said, I am very grateful in my heart, and I will definitely visit them and thank them heavily."
Yunzi said to Lu Jinping gratefully: "I know that this matter is your help from beginning to end, this matter can be turned into a big thing, a small matter, and it has not affected the matter of harmony, and a stone in my heart can finally land safely, thank you, sir!" "Clench your fists and bow to the ground.
Although this Yunzi is a woman, she has a straightforward personality, and she learns to be a man, hugging her fists and giving salutes, which is more free and easy, and has a feeling of sassy and heroic.
Lu Jinping was about to get up and say goodbye after a few polite words, Yunzi hurriedly stopped him and said: "Sir, we are also fateful, this matter can get to know the sir, we Tubo people are the most particular about repaying kindness and revenge, we haven't expressed our gratitude for helping us so much, how can we let the lord go like this?" I immediately ordered the banquet to be set up, let's have a good time, and then express my gratitude to the lord at the wine table, please don't shirk it. ”
The cloud vulture on the side also stepped forward to persuade Lu Jinping to stay. Lu Jinping said: "It's okay, it's almost time to eat anyway, since you are so hospitable, then I don't bother to go home and cook, so I will leave us to have a drink together." ”
Yunzi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered to prepare a wine banquet.
The cooking technology of the Tang Dynasty in Tubo is far inferior to that of modern times, not to mention the Tubo that is located in the remote western regions and is mainly engaged in grazing, their wine banquets are basically based on beef and mutton, plus chicken, duck and fish meat in the Tang Dynasty. So the banquet was quickly prepared.
