Chapter 51 Accountability

When Xiao Jiading said this question, he felt very idiotic, many Tang poems were written by monks, and there are many popular poems that have been passed down to future generations, why can't he make poems? Although he has not been in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, he has already had a deep feeling, and Tang poetry has really been integrated into all aspects of the Tang Dynasty. With the popular fashion of chanting poetry, it is normal for this Emei faction to compete for the position of head and join the competition for Tang poetry.

Huiyi said: "The poetry test is required by the will of the head of the family, and it must be tested. At that time, three well-known Hongru in Yizhou, plus two uncles and ancestors will be invited as referees to determine the winner. ”

Xiao Jiading wanted to ask if he asked me to be a referee? But when the words came to his lips and stopped, he was still a little self-aware, he invited a well-known Hongru, can he be counted?

Huiyi continued: "Although the martial arts of the family teacher can win steadily, but the poetry and Zen theory dare not be said to be stronger than the other senior brothers. Especially Zen theory, therefore, can only find a way in poetry. The tutor hopes that Lord Xiao can help. ”

"How can I help?"

"If Lord Xiao agrees, the family teacher will have his own arrangements at that time."

Xiao Jiading thought about it, he helped others cheat and make poems, and he didn't do it before, and when he first crossed over, he helped Du Erniu's little girl do it once. Now if you help the old nun of the Emei faction, you can earn 20 yuan at once, which is still very cost-effective, and you just lack money.

Xiao Jiading asked: "When will it be held?" ”

"Fifteen days later, however, Master Xiao needs to go five days in advance, so that the family teacher can arrange it. Then the poor nun will come to pick it up. ”

He nodded, and was about to say yes, when his eyes rolled, and he said, "Your Emei faction's martial arts are good, right?" ”

"It's just a matter of getting fit and fit, it's nothing."

"Hehe, it's quite modest." Xiao Jiading smiled and looked at the little nun's faint red lips, "It's not a joke to help your master compete for the position of the head of the family, your money, to be honest, is a little less." ”

Huiyi blushed and said softly: "The monks don't have much money, but if Master Xiao thinks it's less, he can still discuss it......"

Xiao Jiading waved his hand: "You listen to me." I also know that it is not easy for you monks to earn money, so let's do me a small favor as well, and I will agree to this matter. ”

"Lord Xiao, please speak."

"It's actually quite simple."

Xiao Jiading leaned over to her transparent ear and said her request softly.

Huiyi nodded and said, "This is easy." Poor nunis can do it. ”

"That's good."

Huiyi didn't say much, got up and said goodbye and left.

Xiao Jiading rewrapped the money box on the table, put it beside him, and said to Yu Gui that it was time to serve.

Zhu Haiyin actually didn't go to the thatched house, he watched Loulan lamb skewers in the front hall, and when he saw Huiyi leaving, he returned to the house, and looked at Xiao Jiading with a scowl and said, "Big brother, how is it?" Is there a play? ”

Xiao Jiading scolded with a smile: "Get out! You pervert! People are monks, don't be kidding! ”

Zhu Haiyin smiled, didn't ask what they said, and went out to urge the food to be served quickly.

The meal came quickly, and after the two of them had eaten, they returned to the yamen.

Xiao Jiading put the small box of copper coins back to his residence, rested for a while, and the cloud board of the Shangya rang. He came to the signing room, and the scholar Wen Yan told him that the Kang County Order had been said, and that he would discuss it in the flower hall in the afternoon. Ask him to go straight to the flower hall.

Xiao Jiading came to the flower hall. The flower hall of the Yamen is not only a reception room, but also a small conference room of the Yamen, the hall is very large, there are two couches in the middle, and there are two couches on both sides. There were cakes, bait, snacks and water on the tables.

Next to the one to the left of the first two couches, there is a couch and several cases, on which are placed the four treasures of the study. Xiao Jiading knew that this should be his position. But he didn't sit down, he returned to the door of the signing room and waited, and Kang Xian Ling came out of the inner house, and he could see it here.

After a while, the Lian County Cheng and Wen Zhushu of the Yamen, as well as the two county lieutenants Deng Quansheng and Wen Youde, came one after another and walked towards the flower hall. When they saw Xiao Jiading, they all smiled and nodded. Only County Lieutenant Deng came over very exaggeratedly and bowed his hand: "Xiao Zhiyi, I heard yesterday that you went to the countryside to investigate the case, and you worked hard!" ”

Xiao Jiading replied: "It should be." ”

After a few more cold words, County Lieutenant Deng said: "It's almost time, I'll go to the yamen to greet Gu Justice." ”

After Lieutenant Deng left, not long after, the county order came out, wearing an official robe, pacing with square steps. came to the door of the signing room, saw Xiao Jiading, and barely squeezed out a smile on his face. Xiao Jiading knew that Kang County Ling was now worried about that case, where did he still have the heart to laugh.

Kang County Ling asked: "Is Justice Gu here?" ”

"Not yet, County Lieutenant Deng went to the gate to greet him. Lian Xiancheng was waiting in the flower hall. ”

Kang Xian Ling thought for a while and said, "You inform the others and come with me to Yimen to greet you!" ”

It stands to reason that there is only a judge from the seventh grade above, and Kang County ordered himself to be from the sixth grade, the level is much higher, and there is no need to go out to meet it, but this time it is different, and it is related to the question of whether the case is a wrong case.

If there is a wrongful case, it will be a stain on the political performance at best, and at worst, it will be investigated for criminal responsibility for the crime of "entering and leaving the person"! Therefore, it is impossible not to make Kang County Ling nervous.

Xiao Jiading hurriedly ran to the flower hall to inform the county Cheng and a few of them, and rushed to Yimen.

The Yimen is in the second gate of the Yamen, inside is the office area of the Yamen, and outside is the lobby of the Ascension Hall to ask about the case, as well as the prison and the fast arrest room. The main entrance of this ritual gate is generally not opened, and it is only opened during celebrations and greetings to Shangguan. The Gu Judicial who is here now is not up to this Shangguan in terms of level, and he didn't need to open the door of the ceremony to greet him, but the Kang County Order has already ordered the door to be opened and greeted according to the etiquette of the Shangguan. At the same time, he also personally brought a group of officials to Yimen to greet him. This kind of etiquette is the history of Yizhou Thorn, and that's it. It can be seen that Kang County Ling attaches great importance to this matter in his heart.

They waited for a long time, and finally, the official carriage of the state government yamen came, and more than a dozen officials opened the road before and after. The pomp and circumstance was still huge.

County Lieutenant Deng, who was waiting at the door, hurriedly stepped forward, personally helped lift the curtain of the car, and stood aside to prepare to help.

A fat man came out of the carport, and the most striking thing about this fat man was his fat belly, and his official robe was bulging, like a big leather ball that had been blown up. He glanced at County Lieutenant Deng, ignored him and stretched out his hand that was ready to support him, stepped on his feet, stepped down, held his big belly, and said slowly: "What about the Kang County Order?" ”

"Greetings at the Yimen."

Gu Zhengyi frowned, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the fact that Kang County Ling did not come to the door to greet him, holding his stomach, and slowly went up the steps of the yamen. He was followed by County Lieutenant Deng, as well as Gu Justice's own deacon and several other scribes.

After entering the yamen and walking on the road, he had already seen Kang Xianling and others standing at the Yimen not far away, and he did not speed up his steps, but still walked forward as if he was strolling leisurely.

Kang County Ling took the initiative to greet a few adjutants, and said, "Gu Justice has worked hard all the way!" ”

Gu Judicial lazily arched his hand, which was considered a return salute, and he didn't speak, but continued to walk inside.

He was very familiar with the county government, and he knew the place where the meeting was held, and went straight to the flower hall, and without waiting for the arrangement of the county order, he sat in the first place. Kang Xianling had no choice but to sit down beside him. Everyone else sat down in the order of their seats. Xiao Jiading and Gu Justice's executive clothes sat behind several cases on the sides of their heads. The two scribes who came with him were obviously the scribes of the specific cases in the government punishment room. sat at the bottom of the seat.

Gu Judicial glanced at it, and didn't look at the Kang County order, and said: "This case, Zhong Facao is very angry, and has already made a report to the assassin Shi, who heard it and was very shocked, saying how can you beat a chaste woman into a trick without evidence!" And it is also the ten heinous felonies of dismemberment! I'm afraid it's too careless to do this, right? ”

The last sentence is said in a loud voice.

This fat man is so awesome, it turns out that there is a history of thorns behind him, and after a while, Kang Xian Ling and others sweat on their foreheads. As soon as he came up, he set the tone, and directly announced that the case was wrong, and moreover, it was a reckless disregard for human life. The result of the first trial was not asked, which further revealed the seriousness of this matter.

Kang County ordered several of them not to speak, and lowered their heads one by one.

Gu Judicial snorted, and then continued: "The common people are our people, and those of us who are parents and officials must love them as if they were our own children!" But some people don't think so, there is a murder case, and it can't be solved, so they just find someone to convict! Moreover, she is also a chaste woman who is very respected in the village! If you do this, the people will be chilled! Ladies and gentlemen, the first emperor has a saying: 'Water can carry a boat or overturn a boat'! The people are the water, we are the boat, you are doing this, you are inciting the people to subvert the boat of our court! It's serious! Didn't you think about such a result when you made this wrong case in the first place? Don't you think about the holiness of the court? Only care about your political achievements, regardless of the life and death of the people? ”

Listening to what he said later, the more unorthodox he became, and the people who went to the top of the platform made them talk about Kangxian in a cold sweat, but they didn't dare to talk back. Xiao Jiading got up and said: "Gu Justice, in this case, according to the original evidence, there is no problem with conviction. ”

Gu Zhengyi rolled his eyes, looked at Xiao Jiading, and saw that he was dressed in a scribe's robe, and suddenly his chubby face was covered with frost, and he said sharply: "Who are you?" This official speaks, do you have the right to interject? ”

"In Xia Xiao Jiading." Xiao Jiading said tepidly.

As soon as he heard this name, Gu Justice's originally menacing face suddenly disappeared, and there was even a little smile, he nodded, and said, "It turned out to be Xiao Zhiyi, I heard that Tang Sima of this mansion values you very much, saying that you are very proficient in criminal law." However, this case was concluded before you came, do you know about this case? ”
