Human life hangs in the balance, naturally it is not something that can be decided by a county government, and it needs to be reported level by level, and it can only be executed after being approved by Dali Temple.

However, after the county verdict was sent to the state center, the governor of Dengzhou determined that Ayun did not deserve to die.

A cloud of filial piety is not fulfilled, the filial piety marriage contract is illegal, and it cannot be effective, Ayun is not Wei Da's wife, not a murderer;

Second, Ah Yun surrendered when he arrived at the court, pleading well, but Wei Da broke a finger and had some shallow knife wounds on his body, which were very minor and did not die.

Zhizhou commuted Ayun's exile.

As a result, when the verdict went to the trial court and Dali Temple, the two places also found that "the murderer hangs by wounding people", even if Ah Yun is not Wei Da's wife, and the attempted murder but injuring people is generally a capital crime, but there is no need to be beheaded, and the sentence is changed to hanging.

After Zhizhou learned about it, the Department of Appeal and Criminal Justice said that at that time, the Son of Heaven had issued an edict, which said that "if the murder has been injured, according to the question, turn yourself in, and reduce the murder from the second degree."

According to the edict, then Ah Yun would only have to serve decades in prison.

However, the Criminal Department upheld the verdict of the Criminal Court and Dali Temple, and found that Ah Yun should be hanged.

At this time, the governor of Dengzhou was promoted and appointed as the secretary of Dali Temple, and he changed the verdict of the case for the convenience of his position.

After the verdict, Yushitai used this as an excuse to attack the new Dali Siqing for perverting the law and demanding his resignation.

At that time, when the law was being changed, the new party supported the new secretary of Dali Temple, and decided that the sentence should be light, and the old party supported the trial court and Dali Temple, and decided that when the sentence should be heavy, the case was in the end, and it was not just about a small Ayun, but a murderous husband, which could not be tolerated, and it was also a dispute between the new party and the old party, the law and the imperial power.

There was a protracted dispute over whether the Son of Heaven's forgiveness could be used as a more authoritative existence than the "Criminal Code" and whether the imperial power could be above the law.

In the end, the matter ended with Emperor Shenzong issuing an edict pardoning Ah Yun's capital crime.

To this day, the case is often discussed.

Gu Yanzhang mentioned this case, naturally with intentions.

What he wants to see is not Du Tanzhi's attitude towards imperial power and law, but the other party's attitude towards Ah Yun.

The first half of the banquet is to see Du Tanzhi's own ability in his position, the future arrangement, and the second half is to see his views on things.

The two talked for a while, and Gu Yanzhang said: "Last time Song Zhannian's case, it seems that it was sentenced by Dali Temple?" ”

Du Tanzhi nodded and said, "It's also the restlessness of the house, so that there is this result." ”

Gu Yanzhang said: "If there is no investigation by Hezhong Mansion, this one will die in vain, and there will be a family left, which is really pitiful." ”

The two are talking about a murder that happened not long ago, after the Hezhong Mansion recorded the Song Zhannian banquet in the army, he died that night, and he had already returned to his hometown after mourning, and his commander noticed that something was wrong, and recalled the coffin, and re-examined the body, and found that his nine orifices were bleeding, his eyes were dry and his tongue was rotten, and his whole body was black, which was highly poisonous.

After detailed interrogation, everyone found out that it was the official in the government who committed adultery with Song Zhannian's concubine and poisoned them.

Du Tanzhi heard Gu Yanzhang say this, picked up the teacup and took a sip, before he said: "Then Song Zhannian's concubine doesn't know what to think, can she still marry that little official as a wife?" Adultery and murder with adulterers is simply self-defeating. ”

Gu Yanzhang said: "The wicked person acts, you go and reason with her, where is there any reason to talk about." He added, "Speaking of this incident, it is still the servants in the house who should be properly controlled, and if the rules are strict, it will not be allowed to let people touch the house and poison them at will." ”

Du Tanzhi thought so, and couldn't help frowning when he thought of the sisters-in-law in and out of the family before.

It was impossible for him to tell Gu Yanzhang about the privacy of his family, but he couldn't help but say: "I see that the servants in your family advance and retreat properly, and they have rules and regulations, but it is my place, but it was after the marriage of the inner son, it was slowly rectified." ”

Du Tanzhi was born in poverty, but he did not shy away from it at all, and said: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, after I got the Jinshi, many neighbors and relatives and friends in the township came to vote. ”

Speaking of this, Du Tanzhi felt more and more uncomfortable.

It was naturally not his idea to accept those people, but Mrs. Du listened to the flattery of others, and because of the loss of face, she kept all the people, and later spent a lot of effort to send them away.

The son does not say that his mother is ugly, Du Tanzhi knows that if he is not raised by his grandmother, he will never be where he is today, and he is grateful in his heart, so he naturally will not blame.

But after all, Mrs. Du is a woman who was born and grew up in the countryside, she is also old, and she is often sick, and many things cannot be handed over to her, so she has to take care of them.

It was because of that incident, Du Tanzhi not only had to run errands outside, but also had to manage internal affairs, where was the official of the Kyoto Prefecture so easy to do, he was simply lacking in skills, but fortunately he later married Liu Muhe, so he got rid of all the big and small things in the family, and the whole person seemed to be unburdened.

Thinking of this, Du Tanzhi thanked his wife more and more.

Gu Yanzhang said with a smile: "Where would I laugh at you, I am also half a pound and eight taels with you, and I don't understand the internal affairs at all, so I will leave it all to Neiko to take care of, fortunately, the one in my family is powerful, and I don't need to bother with it." ”

He also said: "Not to mention the upbringing of Mr. Daliu's family, you married the daughter of his family, and now you want to live a relaxed life." ”

Du Tanzhi couldn't help but chuckle and said, "It all depends on fate." ”

Very happy.

Gu Yanzhang said again: "I heard Neizi say last time, you married a girl from the Liu family that day, and you told Mr. that you would never take a concubine?" ”

Du Tan said: "This is indeed the case, you see that Mr. Daliu and Mr. Houzhai, one person does not accept concubines, and one person has many concubines in the family, how stark is the contrast between family styles?" ”

He also said: "If you say that you don't like fresh colors, it's false, but once you have a concubine, there will be no peace in the family, that is, between the brothers born of the same mother, there is still partiality, not to mention that there is a wife and concubine, the court is an official, you have to be careful, if the house is restless, it is not enough to deal with the family every day, where is there still effort to run errands." ”

He said: "My family is said to have a little money in the past, but since I can only remember, I have been living a hard life, to be honest, I was really scared, and now it is easy to improve, and I don't want to toss, I really can't afford to toss." ”

"Besides, I have made a promise earlier, and if a person has no faith, he will not stand, and if others know, I will not have to stand on it in the future."

Such words based on "interests" seem to be more honest.

Gu Yanzhang chatted with him for a long time today, looking at his character, looking at his words and deeds, knowing that this was a reliable one, and he wanted to help, so he said: "Even so, I am not afraid of one more mouth, a few days ago, you and the two in my family went to the Big Buddha Temple, and after returning, Neiko came to ask me, if she has no children in the future, what should I do, and asked me about concubines, intercourse, etc., I didn't know at the time, but at this moment I am enlightened, I'm afraid it's not your case?" ”

Du Tanzhi nodded with a wry smile and said, "Although he is ugly, Yanzhang is a gentleman, and he is not afraid to know you." ”

He briefly said the words of Mrs. Du and You, and said: "I have explained it clearly to Neizi, I thought that there would be no such thing, who wants the woman to be delicate, but she is still worried." ”

Gu Yanzhang shook his head and said: "Brother Du's move is not curable, you coaxed the old lady, and the old lady is not stupid, could it be that if you stop your sister-in-law, she doesn't want her great-grandson?" Besides, if you can stop people from entering the door, can you still stop people from going out? The old lady wants to go out, can you stop it? If the uncle's heir is not solved, the old lady will always be worried about it when she returns, and the one in your family can see through it, so she can't see it. ”
