Du Dayin glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Do you know this way?" ”

"I've heard that, too. It's just that who it is, no one said. Xiao Jiading replied.

Du Dayin said: "There are people in the court who are good officials, this sentence is not in vain. Now as a big official, who doesn't have a distant relative and close neighbor, who has a relationship that wipes his feet? ”

"That's right, hehe."

"Did you take the case of Geng Changshi's brother-in-law murdering back again?"

Xiao Jiading was slightly surprised, this was just a matter of the morning, and the retired old scribe knew that the news was really fast. Seeing his surprised look, Du Dayin couldn't help but smile and said, "For the county government, this is a big deal, and someone will reach my ears without me asking." You're in big trouble! People can't avoid it, it's better for you to rush up yourself. I don't know whether to praise you or praise you. ”

As he spoke, Du Yin shook his head vigorously.

Xiao Jiading secretly smiled bitterly, if he wanted to say that he was voluntary, he didn't have the interest in justice, it was forced by Tang Lin, and he wanted to use this in exchange for the favor of Li Ke, the king of Shu, so as to penetrate the emperor's side through Li Ke, how could he say such a highly confidential matter, so he could only pretend that a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and after speaking generously, he softened and said in a low voice: "Now, I know that behind this case, it is not only Geng Changshi, but also higher officials in the court who are behind it. It's just that I don't know who Lu Dao is, if you know Lu Dao, Du Lao, can you remind me? ”

The so-called eating people's mouth is soft, Xiao Jiading carries good wine and good dishes, or it is really unreasonable to give people a useful insider, and Du Dayin also hopes that Xiao Jiading can get better and better. He lowered his voice and said: "The person who told you the news actually knows that the truth is not accurate, Geng Changshi himself does not have a strong relationship in the imperial court, he is involved with the imperial court through Pan Beijia in the state capital. ”

Don't drive, the number two person in the yamen of the state capital, from the fourth grade, is equivalent to the current deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. Second only to the history of thorns. Yizhou's other name is Pan Linghong. Because Yizhou is the location of the Yamen of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Jiannan Province, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Li Ke, the King of Shu, also served as the assassin of Yizhou, but his main energy was on the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. That is, in the military, unless there are major matters, he generally does not ask about the specific things of Yizhou Mansion. Therefore, the actual supreme leader of Yizhou Mansion is this Pan Linghong.

Xiao Jiading had long heard of this Pan Beijia. It's just that people are high-ranking officials. I'm just a little scribe. Nor is it qualified to meet him. He originally thought that this case was just a matter of Geng Changshi, but now, it involved the actual number one person in the state capital yamen, Don't drive Pan Linghong, which made Xiao Jiading feel that his head was starting to get bigger.

Du Dayin took a sip of wine, and then said, "Who is the backstage of this Pan Beijia, guess what?" ”

Xiao Jiading shook his head blankly. Although he couldn't guess, he had already vaguely guessed that it should be a powerful minister who couldn't be provoked.

Duda looked at him and smiled mysteriously. Said slowly: "Eldest grandson Wuji! ”

Xiao Jiading's head banged, and the whole thing was clouded.

In the Tang Dynasty, the eldest grandson family was too famous, his father was a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, and his sister married Tang Taizong Li Shimin, the famous eldest grandson queen in history, Li Shimin's most respected and favored woman. Li Zhi, the son of Empress Changsun, is the current emperor. The eldest grandson Wuji himself is Li Shimin's young partner who has been good friends since he was a child, participated in Li Yuan's army, is the founding father, and played a very important role in the process of Li Shimin's struggle for the throne, and is the first of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion! Because he supported Li Zhi to ascend the throne, and was the uncle of Emperor Li Zhi, he was respected as a captain, which is equivalent to the prime minister, and presided over the government at the same time! That is the top minister under one person and above ten thousand!

Xiao Jiading knew him, and there was another reason, that is, the eldest grandson Wuji was the presiding editor of the source of the Chinese legal system, "Tang Law Shu Yi". He is also a jurist who has an important place in the history of China's legal system.

Xiao Jiading couldn't have imagined that he was now facing a character, and this top minister was involved! I was a little dumbfounded for a moment. This person, not to mention that Tang Lin can't afford to provoke, I'm afraid that even Li Ke'er, the king of Shu, will have to be in awe of three points!

Xiao Jiading stabilized his mind, thinking that not to mention that he was just Geng Changshi's brother-in-law, and he couldn't fight with the eldest grandson Wuji, even if the eldest grandson Wuji's own brother-in-law killed someone, I was afraid that he would have to be judged, right? His eldest grandson Wuji is also a jurist himself, so it is impossible for him to know the law and break the law, and even punish the people who specifically undertake the case below, right? As a jurist, of course, the scribes below Zhilu Dao are only people, not decision-makers, if even those who do things have to be suppressed and punished, then he is not Changsun Wuji.

Thinking about this section, Xiao Jiading was a little relieved, but he had already made up his mind in his heart, if the water was very deep, he still couldn't go to this troubled water, and he would take care of his own life first.

Since the eldest grandson Wuji is involved, it is even more necessary to understand the relationship.

Xiao Jiading said in a low voice: "What is the relationship between Pan Beijia and Captain Changsun?" ”

Du Dayin said a little proudly: "You are the right person." Their relationship, except for me, there are really few people in the whole Yizhou who know about it. ——In the early years, when Captain Taisun served as the pawn of the Weibei March, Pan Beijia was the executive clothes by his side. Because of the good work, very much the appreciation of the eldest grandson, after following the eldest grandson for a few years, the eldest grandson was promoted, and he was released as a county officer, and since then he has been many times, first, Pan Beijia is indeed very talented, and secondly, he has been taken care of by the eldest grandson of the central court, so the official fortune is prosperous, and he has been the current four-grade driver. Because he has been an official in many places, and Pan Beijia is very low-key, he rarely talks about the relationship between him and the eldest grandson, so after he arrived in Yizhou, few people in Yizhou knew the Tao. I also learned about this matter by chance, you are the person I recommended to enter the yamen, Erniu, this girl always says good things about you, and now you are in such a big trouble, so, if I don't tell you through the joints, you are unlucky, and my old face is not good-looking. That's what I told you, you don't have to talk about it outside. Pan Beijia doesn't like people talking about this kind of thing. When it reaches his ears, he won't be happy. ”

Xiao Jiading hurriedly thanked him, and said in a voice that he could rest assured, he would never say anything. He asked again: "Then what is the relationship between Geng Changshi and Pan Beijia?" ”

"When Geng Changshi was the county governor in Liujicheng County, Jiangzhou, Pan Beijia was the county magistrate of the county. The two families got very close, and later, Pan Bei married the cousin of Geng Changshi's wife's cousin, although he had already made five suits, but because both of them were officials in Jiangzhou, this relative became closer and closer. That's it. ”

Xiao Jiading understood, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, the so-called officials protect each other, and they take care of each other if they have no relationship, not to mention that the two have some kinship.

Du Dayin said: "There is another reason for the close relationship between the two, that is, both of them like calligraphy and painting very much, but Pan Beijia is better at calligraphy, and Geng Changshi especially likes painting. Especially after drinking, he likes to show off in front of people, and if he paints in front of you, you have to brag about it! ”

Xiao Jiading smiled, many leaders in modern society like to be vassals and elegant, and they can only scribble when they write bad words, but they like to inscribe and paint everywhere. Ancient officials were generally literati, and this calligraphy and painting was a profession, and it would not be bad.

Du Dayin continued: "This Geng Changshi is not the same as Pan Beijia, Pan Beijia is very low-key, but Geng Changshi is very flamboyant, he likes to say that his relationship with Pan Beijia is different, and he uses the relationship between Pan Beijia and Changsun Taiwei to elevate himself. However, because Pan Beijia didn't like others to say that he had such a relationship between the DPRK and China, Pan Beijia only said that he was a powerful minister in the court in front of outsiders, and he didn't dare to say who it was, and he only said that he had a relationship with this powerful minister, but did not say that he was connected through Pan Beijia's relationship. Therefore, outsiders only know that Lu Dao has a relationship with the powerful ministers of the DPRK and China, but they do not know the inside story of Lu Dao. ”

Xiao Jiading smiled, it seems that this pot-bellied Geng Changshi, like himself, also likes foxes and fake tigers. Since Pan Beijia has this attitude, then he may not come forward to take care of the murder case of Geng Changshi's brother-in-law, let alone stab the eldest grandson Wuji.

However, since this Geng Changshi is a person who likes foxes and fake tigers, it means that this person is very face-saving, if his brother-in-law is executed, then he will lose his face, and I am afraid that this is the reason why he is trying to suppress the matter. If this is the case, if this matter is not handled well, it is estimated that it will not alarm the high-ranking official of the eldest grandson Wuji, but Geng Changshi, the number two person in the Yizhou Mansion, is angry, and it is enough to drink a pot by himself.

How to handle this case to the satisfaction of Tang Lin and Li Ke and achieve Tang Lin's goal, without offending Geng Changshi and making him satisfied, this is a test of his political wisdom.

Of course, Xiao Jiading would not think about this problem now, and after he thanked him, he gently changed the topic and asked: "I don't know much about the affairs of the imperial court, and I am very curious about the emperor's amnesty to the world." Does Du Lao know that the emperor usually gives amnesty to the world for what reasons? ”

"Well, in the past, the amnesty of the world was nothing more than the emperor's accession to the throne, the establishment of the queen, the establishment of the prince, the prayer for rain in a catastrophe, and so on. There are also some amnesties that are inexplicable, and there is no reason to amnesty the world at all, of course, there must be a reason for this, but it is inconvenient to say it, and the emperor will not say it, just a direct amnesty. ”

Xiao Jiading's heart moved, and he nodded slowly. He asked again: "Du Lao has been handling cases in the Yamen for many years, but I don't know how long it will take for a death penalty case to be approved from the beginning to the end?" ”

"It's hard to say, there are fast and slow, but because it has to be reported layer by layer, the county government, the state capital, the Dali Temple, the criminal department, and the emperor will be reported to the emperor at the earliest." (To be continued......)
