Chapter 954: The Law of Human Affection
"Then please take care of the matter later. ”
Fang Yun processed the paperwork for a quarter of an hour, and found that Ji Zhibai still refused to leave, so he got up and said, "The paperwork has been processed, and the lower official will send Master Ji away." ”
"Please. "Ji Zhibai said.
Ji Zhibai was in front, Fang Yun was behind, and other officials followed, sending Ji Zhibai out of the lobby, bypassing the ring stone tablet, and coming to the main gate of the county office.
As Fang Yun walked, he looked outside, and saw many people standing, kneeling, or sitting there, and when they saw everyone coming out, they got up one after another.
"Ji Qingtian! Master Ji is here!"
"Thank you Ji Qingtian!"
"Thanks to Master Ji, otherwise our family wouldn't be able to survive!"
Many people cried excitedly as if they had died of their parents, as if a glance at Ji Zhibai's life was worth it.
A few people found that Fang Yun was there, their faces were ashamed, and they were slightly restrained.
Fang Yun instinctively frowned.
Seeing that the official who followed Ji Zhibai smiled proudly, he bowed his hand to those people, and said, "Don't be like this, you people, this is what Master Ji should do." ”
At this time, I saw a cripple man with a family, holding a Wanmin umbrella, walking quickly, kneeling on the ground with a crying voice and shouting: "Master Ji! Lord Qingtian! Thanks to your discerning last year, otherwise our family would be finished! The family has set up an immortal tablet for you, worship every day, and worship every year!"
Ji Zhibai was stunned for a moment, took a few steps forward quickly to help the middle-aged cripple, and said happily: "It turned out to be Lao Xing, how is the family doing?"
Xing Lizi nodded vigorously and said, "Thanks to you, our family is doing well, and that Zhang Yuan doesn't dare to do anything to our family!"
Ji Zhibai nodded and said, "That's fine." Zhibai is grateful for the love of all the fathers and villagers, and there is nothing to repay, so I deeply thank you!" Ji Zhi made a fool of himself.
"I can't do it, I can't do it......" everyone hurriedly stopped.
After Ji Zhibai got up, he showed embarrassment and said: "After all, it is the Fang County Commander who is in charge of Ning'an County now, we can't embarrass him, all the fathers and fellow villagers, you should go home, if you encounter something that cannot be solved in Ning'an County in the future, I Ji Zhibai will definitely be willing to help!"
"Thank you, Lord Ji!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Everyone turned around three times in one step, and their faces were full of reluctance.
Some officials sneered unabashedly. When Ji Zhibai said this, he was ironically ironizing that Fang Yun was not as good as him in governing Ning'an County, and he even had the implication that he might be killed back at any time.
Fang Yun stood behind the threshold, never going out of the door, and kept watching coldly.
Seeing that the people were almost gone, Fang Yun looked at the backs of those people expressionlessly, and said, "Give me more money next time, the performance is a little bad." ”
The officials laughed secretly, and their hearts were just what this Fang Xuan Saint would say.
An embarrassed flush flashed on Ji Zhibai's face. He turned around and said: "Fang County Order, you are the parent official of Ning'an County, and this official didn't want to blame too much." However, since this official is about to take up the post of Inspector of Michigan. That has to say a few words. ”
"What kind of advice does Master Ji have? This county will not set up an umbrella for the people. Fang Yundao.
Ji Zhibai didn't seem to hear Fang Yun's sarcasm, and said seriously: "There is no problem with the rule of law, but those who are officials must guard a benevolent and righteous heart." The law is nothing more than human affection. In some cases, it is good for Fang County to obey the law, but it is also a violation of benevolence!"
When the officials heard this, they heard. Realize that something is wrong!
The dispute over rituals and laws has always existed, Ji Zhibai is obviously attacking Fang Yun here to favor the law and ignore benevolence and righteousness, once the hall of rites catches the handle, even if Fang Yun is a virtual saint, he will not give Fang Yun a good look, the old guy in the hall is definitely the most stubborn group of people in the Shengyuan Continent.
They dared to punish the Lei family last year, and they will be able to target Fang Yun this year.
Fang Yun's expression was indifferent, with a smile on his face, and said, "Although Master Ji's words are biased, it is not a reason. If Master Ji has any advice, let's say it together. ”
Ji Zhibai raised his head and said: "Since the Fang County Order is so fast, then the official will teach the way to be an official......
Ao Huang was annoyed, and said angrily: "Ji Zhibai, be careful, you are also worthy of teaching the Void Sage the way to be an official?"
Ji Zhibai smiled and said calmly: "No one is born to know." If I am asked to teach the way of Fang Xusheng's poetry, it will be a wild speech, but if I teach the way of Fang County's order to be an official, then it will be a matter of course. Prince Huang, are you trying to interfere in Jingguo's political affairs?"
Ao Huang glanced at Ji Zhibai and snorted lightly: "You and Ben Long be careful!
A look of annoyance flashed on Ji Zhibai's face, ignoring Ao Huang, looking at Fang Yun and continuing: "The case decided by the Fang County Order, this official has heard about it. I remember that on your fifth day in office, you encountered such a case. A poor farmer thought that a rich doctor was treating a disease indiscriminately, so he went to the doctor's house to make trouble, but was stopped by the doctor's man, and a lot of valuable medicine was scattered in the tearing, and the farmer was injured as a result. Fang County ordered you, in accordance with the law, to let the farmer compensate the doctor for the medicine. But what happened after that? The farmer sold his family's thin field to pay for it. ”
Fang Yun asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
Ji Zhibai said loudly: "Of course it's not right! After you made a judgment, the peasants went bankrupt, and the whole family lived extremely miserable. As for the doctor, he was very rich, and he was not short of a few dozen taels of silver, and even if the peasants did not lose that money, it would be no big problem for him. You seem to be fair, but you ruined the family! And when I was the magistrate of Ning'an County, I encountered a similar thing, do you know how this official judges?"
"But it doesn't hurt to say that. Fang Yun still didn't care.
Ji Zhibai said: "Then the official will sue you! You also saw Fang Cai's Xing cripple, do you know how his left leg was lame? His leg was trampled off by Zhang Yuan's foreign cow!" Speaking of this, Ji Zhibai deliberately paused and looked at Fang Yun.
Fang Yun thought for a moment and said, "This case is known to the county. It was Xing Cripple who was idle, and when he saw that Zhang Yuanwai's cow was grazing, he went to tease the cow, but the scalper was frightened, and the scalper knocked him down without saying anything, and stepped on his leg, and finally the scalper ran away and disappeared. Afterwards, you judged that Zhang Yuanwai was at fault and was fully responsible for the medical expenses. Speaking of this, this county will also participate in your misuse of the law and dereliction of duty!"
Ji Zhibai laughed again and said, "Fang Yun, Fang Yun, you are conceited and intelligent, but you have no benevolence. Although Xing Cripple is at fault, you don't know that he not only has an elderly mother to support, but also a wife and two young children. If the official does not sentence Zhang Yuanwai to compensate him for his medical expenses and has to compensate the scalpers, then the Xing family is afraid that the family will be ruined! For Zhang Yuanwai, a scalper and those medical expenses are insignificant. Can you watch Xing Cripple's family ruin because of his momentary mistakes? Oh, you can, your punishment for that peasant is that there is no benevolence, and there is no human humanity!
Some officials looked worried, and Ji Zhibai hit Fang Yun's weakness.
The Qin Dynasty's legalists were harsh, coupled with tyranny, leading the people to rebel, and later officials were much more careful, and too harsh sentences would inevitably attract criticism.
