Chapter 91: The Inner Court is Strong
That night, Lan Ting returned to the bedroom, still troubled by the Dongxu murder case, he picked up the pen, put the ink in the inkstone, put a blank piece of paper, and wrote a few lines while thinking.
Hu Duan - shielding Wu Ergui - for unknown reasons.
Wu Ergui - the real murderer - the motive is unknown.
Wu's mother—Witness—Shielding Wu Ergui—Framing the Jiang family—The eldest son is dead, and the second son can't bear to be beheaded.
Chiang – framed – accused Wu Ergui.
Jiao Manshi - Trapped - Unknown for unknown reasons - Whereabouts unknown.
Lan Ting thought of the words of the spring return again, and added the text after Jiao Manshi's trip: His wife Xiao didn't care about her whereabouts at all, and she was suspected of knowing her whereabouts - on the night of the murder, there was a Lang Zhong in and out of the house.
The word "Langzhong" was heavily outlined.
Then Lan Ting put down his pen and frowned and pondered for a long time under the lamplight.
When I put pen to paper again, I first added to Wu Ergui's line: arguing over the jujube tree - this motive is too absurd but it cannot be ignored. Then he sketched out the names of Hu Duan, Wu Ergui, and Jiao Manshi.
It is impossible for people's behavior to be completely unmotivated, that is to say, there must be an unknown connection between Hu Duan, Wu Ergui and Jiao Manshi, and the Lang Zhong who entered and exited the Jiao family's house on the night of the crime may be the key to solving all this.
Lan Ting suddenly had an idea, this time he still had to use the strategy of luring the snake out of the hole, but he had to startle the snake first!
Therefore, the next day, Hu Duan immediately felt anxious.
First of all, his family came to report, Langzhong Guo Guang was questioned by the scribe Yin Jiyu for no reason, and investigated why he went to Dongxu Jiao's house on the seventh night of October last year.
Hu Duan was in shock, and listened to the report of the servant that the Jiang family, who was in the prison, was actually proposed by the eldest son of Zhao Zhizhou by warrant, and it is said that the prisoner who was waiting for death was sent to the inner house of the state government!!
At this time, Hu Duan could still sit still, and he was about to break into Zhao Zhizhou, but he was empty-Lord Zhizhou was sick again during the day, and went back to the inner house to ask a doctor for a doctor.
In the past, Hu Duan could ignore such excuses and was happy to see the passivity of his boss, but today's situation is different, Hu Duan must not give up, so he gathered a lot of party followers, and rushed to the inner house with great momentum.
At this time, Mrs. Shen happened to discuss the banquet with Chungui, listened to the report, and was furious: "How dare I Dao Fei's family be so rampant, it turns out that behind her, there is an equally arrogant and rude husband standing to support him, Hu Duan, who is in vain as an official of the imperial court, is lawless, but the lord is his superior, but he doesn't pay attention to it at all, and even gathers party members to break into Shangguan's inner house, is he going to rebel?" ”
Spring Return: ......
How did it become a major crime of rebellion when he collided with the official, who did the lady take the master? These words should be put aside in the period of Taizu and Chengzu...... Chungui shuddered, secretly thinking that I hadn't heard anything.
It is said that two or three hundred years have passed since Taizu and Chengzu, and Chun Guizi has not personally experienced the world at that time, but she has heard her father say that the "text prison" is the beginning of Taizu and the development of Chengzu, when Taizu was born, there was an official who named his son "Siyuan", and as a result, he was sentenced to death, and the clan was punished......
Because the name of the former dynasty was Yuan, what did Siyuan want to do? Such a person must rebel and must be punished.
After the "Siyuan" case, a minister fell to the ground because he said "thank you for your love".
Taizu's cognition, the minister is also nostalgic for the love of the "Great Mongolia".
This kind of bloody case is not only two, in the Taizu and Chengzu dynasties, it can be said that it is commonplace, and later, under the succession of many generations of officials of the Ministry of Rites who are not afraid of death, they finally determined the rules of words and sentences, stipulating what words must be taboo, so as to a certain extent limit the terrorist incidents in which the monarch will kill his subjects under the pretext of literary prison.
But a statement like Madame Shen's would still lead to catastrophe - if the monarch wanted to pursue it, it would be a solid crime.
However, the premise of "monarch accountability" should not exist, so although Chungui felt that Mrs. Shen was really open-mouthed, she did not worry about the sky to the point of persuading her mother-in-law to be careful with her words.
What if Mrs. Shen shouts "My sister is the queen, disrespecting my husband's family is a rebellion", what should she do?
It is Guo's mother who is in trouble, and she does not regard Mrs. Shen's words as taboo at all, it is not that Guo's mother does not have this awareness, but it is true that today's son is indeed no better than his ancestors, and he is a gentleman with a gentle and compassionate personality, especially when he treats Queen Shen, his affection is even more unusual - no matter what words come out of Mrs. Shen's mouth, even if she shouts to kill the king, if it is limited to shouting, she will not be punished today.
In fact, don't say that the emperor is merciful, when the emperor, most of them can't be treated equally, like when the first emperor was in power, a certain concubine made a poem of resentment in the first palace, and was sentenced to death for the crime of "slander", and his father and brother were executed! However, the favorite concubine Liu poisoned the emperor's heir and murdered the courtiers, but she was laughed at by the first emperor and reprimanded for being "naughty".
Therefore, "the monarch wants to investigate" is an inevitable premise.
Chungui quickly calmed down after shivering, and listened to Guo's mother continue to report-
"Isn't that what Madame said? The old slave has lived for decades, and he has never seen any dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing, and he is not as majestic as a husband and wife in a mere state! That Hu Xianggong, with a group of subordinate officials, hugged outside the second gate, slandered the uncle and raped the sinner, and was tempted by beauty to ignore the law of the country, how did he say it...... By the way, it means that the uncle is the same as the dog! ”
Mrs. Shen sneered: "Hu Duan is in a hurry, so he has become a rabid dog and bites indiscriminately, that sinner Jiang is the same age as Brother Ting'er's aunt, how many years older than me, and she is tempted by beauty?" I'm really not afraid of laughing at people's bellies, it must be Hu Duan who has done a bad thing that has lost his conscience, and when he saw that he was about to be exposed, he jumped over the wall in a hurry. ”
Saying that, Mrs. Shen became interested, and walked out as soon as she pulled the spring return: "The old man said that he was sick, and it was not easy to come forward now, although Lan Ting's ability, since he was not afraid of being really embarrassed by Hu Duan's subordinates, I was worried that there would be a case, Hu Duan and others would oppress people, let's go together, if the real Lan Ting can't stand it, I will also come forward in time to town the town, and you can also learn some." ”
Chungui lowered his eyebrows and was pulled away by Mrs. Shen, and said in his heart: It is exactly what I want.
This time, with Mrs. Shen charging, listening to the corner of the wall can also be open.
But unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen had no intention of eavesdropping on the corner of the wall at all, and it was not at all for the sake of precaution, she asked Delan Ting to be questioned by the "rebels" in a side hall in the second gate, and led Chun Hui to break in with her head held high, but she shocked the bunch of subordinate officials and officials at a loss, as if they had become a bunch of little daughters-in-law, and Leng Buding was too frightened to avoid the two men who broke in.
When a few officials with gray temples and faces full of "vicissitudes" stumbled and lamented "what kind of body to become", this person actually stared at Mrs. Shen and recited the female treatise "everywhere inside and outside, men and women are different, don't peep into the outer wall, don't go out of the outer court" when several officials with gray temples and white temples and face full of "vicissitudes" stumbled to lament......
I don't know how to look at this posture, and I think he is Mrs. Shen's father.
There was a moment of chaos in the small hall, and the targets of the officials' criticism shifted to Mrs. Shen and the spring return who was lying on the gun, but Lan Ting was left out in the cold and no one cared about it.
Mrs. Shen is ashamed of herself in front of the female relatives of the family, and she is often squeezed so that she can't refute and only sulks, but she is full of confidence in front of a group of men, and she didn't wait for the "Female Analects" to continue reading, so she snorted coldly: "You have all broken into the inner court of my house, and you still have the face to teach me different words with men and women?" Since you have opened your mouths and closed your mouths about virtue, then explain and explain, gather this large group of people, trespass into the inner court of Zhizhou and disturb your family, what kind of etiquette and what kind of virtue is it?! ”
Chun Gui lowered her eyes and seemed to stand aside obediently, but in fact, she really didn't dare to look at how wonderful the rotten Confucians who were refuted by Mrs. Shen looked wonderful at this time, she was afraid that she would laugh out loud, but such an occasion should be kept serious.
"It's not that the lower officials and others offended the family members of the Zunfu, but they actually heard that Zhao Zhouzun's son privately set up death row prisoners and sheltered the guilty woman in the inner court, what kind of system is this? The lower officials and others rushed to ask for Zhou Zun, and hoped that Zhou Zun could obey the law, discipline Ling Lang for violating the etiquette and law, and send the death row prisoner Jiang Shi back to prison. ”
is very powerful, and he was convicted of Lan Ting's crime in one bite, and he planted a big hat of illegal morality indiscriminately.
Mrs. Shen was furious: "What kind of private arson on death row prisoner, you dare to slander my eldest man with a blank mouth, I see that it is clear that you people have made a mistake in the murder case and wrongfully sentenced the innocent, I heard that the master wants to review the case, so I will be a thief and beat a rake!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard an old man with a long beard stumble and lament—
Zhao Zhouzun actually told the ladies of the house about the government affairs of the court, which is really appalling and absurd!
