"Guiguzi Chapter" said: "The world is impermanent, and things are impermanent." The saints often do nothing, and they listen to everything they hear. Succeed in things and in strategy, with the master. If you are in harmony with each other and leave here, you will have a rebellion if you are not loyal to both sides. On the contrary, they are resentful of the other; Resentment of this, contrary to the other. ”

In the law of the Great Song Dynasty, "all evil and fornication are the first, and filial piety is the first" This is the moral bottom line of the law, but those who declare ** morality and do not filial piety to their parents are heinous and should be executed by Ling Chi.

One day, a young man was taking advantage of Zhao Xuan's trip to block in front of Zhao Xuan's sedan chair, hoping that Zhao Xuan could help him, and the master standing next to Zhao Xuan reprimanded the person in front of him, "Get out of the way quickly, my family still has something to dodge, I don't have the time to listen to your grievances, hurry up, and if you don't dodge, you will be put in prison for a few days!" ”

As soon as Zhao Xuan heard that something was happening outside, he lifted the sedan curtain and looked at the man in front of him who looked young and underaged, "Who are you?" Why did it stop the prefect from moving forward? ”

The man was slightly stunned when he saw Zhao Xuan's face, and thought in his heart, "It seems that the rumors are not wrong, this Lord Zhao is really young, but I don't know if he can help me in this matter!" I wanted to think about it, but the man didn't forget to answer Zhao Xuan's question, "Lord Qiyu, Xiaomin Sun Ming, is a person from Macun County, Jiaxiang Prefecture, my father was instigated by my stepmother, and wanted to kill me, so that the son of my stepmother inherited the family property alone, and went to the county government to sue me for not being filial, and the adults know, according to my Great Song Dynasty law, those who are sons of man who are not filial should be executed by Ling Chi, I heard that the adults are a clean official, a good official, and extremely smart, I hope the adults can help the small people, and give me justice!" ”

Hearing this, the master was also a little unbearable, and turned his head to look at Zhao Xuan, because it was on the street, the people heard what this person said, and they also came over to join in the fun, and they also wanted to know how Zhao Xuan would deal with such a thing.

Originally, Zhao Xuan wanted to go to the suburbs to enjoy the flowers, but when Sun Ming made a fuss, Zhao Xuan lost interest, so he had to go home, "I know, you go back with me, although this matter is not a problem in the place under my jurisdiction, but since you are here, I can't drive you back, it also seems that I am too ruthless, okay, let's go!" As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xuan lowered the sedan curtain, and after listening to Zhao Xuan's order, the official carrying the sedan chair had no choice but to turn around and go in the direction he was going to be

Back at the prefect's yamen, in the study, Zhao Xuan asked Sun Ming to tell the story in detail, and when Sun Ming finished speaking, Zhao Xuan looked at Sun Ming and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

Sun Ming nodded, a little afraid to look at Zhao Xuan, probably because there were too many cases, Zhao Xuan committed his occupational disease again, he liked to stare at other people's eyes, but Zhao Xuan's eyes became sharper and sharper, many small cases Zhao Xuan just glanced at the person, he hurriedly admitted his crime in fear, which made Zhao Xuan feel more and more bored in handling cases, although today disturbed Zhao Xuan's interest in spring outing, but it made Zhao Xuan discover an interesting thing, of course, Zhao Xuan couldn't write his true thoughts on his face, so he could only be blindly excited in his heart.

Sun Ming didn't dare to look directly into Zhao Xuan's eyes, and said tremblingly: "Lord Qiyu, what Xiaomin said is true, if there is half a falsehood, the sky will hit five thunders!" ”

Zhao Xuan nodded lightly, indeed, this Sun Ming is not lying, if he was lying, he would not be so free to speak, Zhao Xuan smiled slightly, and paced back and forth in the study.

Watching Zhao Xuan walk back and forth in this study, Sun Ming had a feeling of being out of breath, just when he had a feeling of suffocation, Zhao Xuan smiled at him, obviously, Zhao Xuan had a way, he walked to the desk, picked up the brush and wrote, "I'll write a defense for you, and when I go to court, I just need to hand it over to the county master." ”

Looking at what Zhao Xuan wrote, Sun Ming simply didn't understand a word, but he still decided to believe Zhao Xuan, after all, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, and if he can't survive, he can't blame other people

The time was very fast, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the trial, and Zhao Xuan left the master to let him deal with the daily cases first, if there was any difficult case to solve, he would wait until Zhao Xuan came back to make a decision, and he took Qian Hu and Lao Wang, the three of them dressed up in disguise, and came to the county office of Macun County, Jiaxiang Prefecture, ready to see the case that was about to be tried.

Soon, after everyone arrived, I saw that the county magistrate was shocked, and the court opened the trial.

"Sun Ming, your father accused you of unfilial piety, and I will bring you this unfilial piety to me!" The county magistrate is already in his old age, and his thin body has long been out of line with the official uniform, and his gray beard and white hair are showing his old state.

Sun Ming was not in a hurry, but he took out a note from his sleeve, kowtowed to the county lord and said: "I am a junior, I dare not confront my father in court, there is only one defense, please take a look." ”

When the county magistrate saw this argument, he was a little surprised, and saw that it was written: "The father has the heart of Wei Xuan, and the wife has the appearance of Xuan Jiang, and it is difficult to be a filial son." After reading it, the county magistrate scolded Sun Ming's father and kicked him out of the court, and Sun Ming was also found not guilty and released on the spot.

Sun Ming, who was acquitted, was naturally happy in his heart, and he was thinking about taking the time to go to Juye Mansion next time to thank Zhao Xuan for saving his life.

The three of them were all wearing painted skins, so no one could recognize them at all, looking at such an ending, Zhao Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

On the way home, Qian Hu couldn't understand why a short sentence could make the county magistrate immediately acquit Sun Ming, and in the face of Qian Hu's question, Zhao Xuan just smiled and didn't say anything, he really didn't want to listen to Qian Hu's quarrel there, so Lao Wang said: "Okay Huzi, don't bother, I want to hear why, I'll tell you, close your mouth and listen carefully." ”

Qian Hu nodded, stared at Lao Wang seriously with a pair of eyes, looking at Qian Hu like this, Lao Wang felt a little furious in his heart, turned his gaze to other places, and explained the reason for that sentence.

So what is the meaning of what is written on the argument? It turned out that this was talking about the historical events of Wei Xuangong and Xuanjiang.

Wei Xuangong was lewd**, he was adulterous when he was the prince, and he had an affair with his father's concubine Yi Jiang, and gave birth to a son who was anxious. When Xuangong ascended the throne, Concubine Xing was infertile, and he favored his old lover Yi Jiang, so he set up an illegitimate son as the heir, that is, the prince. When he was about to reach the age of sixteen, Wei Xuangong married Qi Jiang, the eldest daughter of Duke Qi, as his wife. But when the envoy came back from Qi Guoxing and praised Qi Jiang for his beauty, Wei Xuangong was moved and wanted to take it for himself. Therefore, the craftsman built a new platform on the Qi River at the junction of Qi and Wei, and at the same time, ordered Gongzi to be an envoy and sent to the country. After the arrangement stopped, he sent someone to Qi to welcome his daughter-in-law. Welcoming Qishui, Wei Xuangong had already greeted him in Xintai, occupied his daughter-in-law, and changed his name to Xuanjiang. When the son returned to China in a hurry, the raw rice had been cooked and cooked, so he had to consider himself unlucky and call his fiancée his mother-in-law.

Hearing this, Qian Hu nodded, and said thoughtfully: "That is to say, Mr. told the county magistrate Sun Ming's father that he wanted to occupy the beautiful daughter-in-law, so he falsely accused his son of being unfilial, and after the county magistrate understood, Sun Ming took the initiative?" ”

After listening to Qian Hu's analysis, Zhao Xuan and Lao Wang were a little dumbfounded, Zhao Xuan smiled and patted Qian Hu's shoulder, "Okay, the guy's analysis is comprehensive, this is slowly improving!" ”

Being praised by Zhao Xuan like this, Qian Hu lowered his head a little embarrassed, causing the two of them to laugh, and soon, everyone returned to Juye City, in fact, Zhao Xuan at this time has been in office for half a year, the east goes to spring, ten thousand reincarnations, there are still many hardships waiting for him to overcome, no matter what the final result is, at least Zhao Xuan can say to his juniors: "In my life, I have no regrets!" ”
