Chapter 485: The Beginning

So Chen Letian is on the road to see the unevenness and pull out the knife to help?

In a short time, the Governor came to this conclusion.

In the end, it's just passing by and then not getting used to it.

The Governor made a look of disbelief and said, "Chen Letian, do you know what the consequences of falsely accusing the imperial court officials are?"

Chen Letian nodded: "Exile for three thousand miles for ten years." Adults, everything the students say is true, and they will never dare to say half a lie. The tone was very sincere. First of all, this kind of exile is not the exile of the entire family, but only the exile of criminals, and the exile to a place of extreme hardship, in addition to working for four or five hours a day, you can even do some side jobs at other times to subsidize your own food and clothing.

Compared with Liang Guo, Wei Guo and others, the punishment of killing the head if the false accusation is true, is still much lighter.

But it's still a lot heavier than petty theft.

The biggest purpose of the punishment is of course to balance, so that the people dare not make false accusations indiscriminately, and at the same time dare to tell the truth.

Chen Letian has been asking Liu Daming to tutor him the laws of the Great Song Dynasty recently, so now he can answer the punishment of falsely accusing the imperial court officials in one bite.

The Governor said, "Well, it's good that you know, I'm afraid you don't know how to grandstand here." Now that you know, you should take your time first. ”

"Yes. Chen Letian arched his hand: "Half a month ago, on the way to Chengdu, the students passed by Bazhong City, and the students in Bazhong City accidentally learned that there were many officials and bandits in the county government. So the student denounced it. At that time, Cao County Ling was injured and was recuperating because of the previous suppression of bandits, and the case was tried by the county lord. In the process of trying the case, the county Cheng enforced the law impartially, and the students were very moved, the county Cheng did not have any protection, and the whole process was public, from digging dirty silver to the criminal's house to the later interrogation, almost all of them were in attendance, and there were many fathers and villagers in Bazhong City. So the case was settled quickly. But one day, when the students were going out for a walk, they ran into a killer sent by the county lord to kill the students!" Speaking of this, Chen Letian frowned, and seemed to be very nervous with a little fear in his heart.

The Governor looked at Chen Lotian and waited for the following.

Chen Letian was silent for a moment, then sighed and continued: "My lord, the student was only admitted to the Qingtian Pavilion Cultivation Academy last year, and now he is still a Spring Realm cultivator, but the County Venerable Lord sent a Summer Realm cultivator. The students fought to the death and fought the killer for a whole day, and finally escaped death. The students dare to ask the adults, because they are afraid that the news of their gangsters will leak out, they hire murderers, is Cao Xian Ling really too bold?"

The Governor turned his head to look at the little official next to him who was in charge of recording, and then said, "Don't be in a hurry, take your time, you can stand here now, fortunately you have escaped the clutches of the killer." This official is also very sympathetic to your experience, but classmate Chen, you need to show evidence. ”

Liu Daming stepped forward at this time and said: "My lord, our owner almost died in Huangquan in this matter, and that killer thought that he had killed our owner, so he left." The proprietor waited a long time to dare to get up, only knowing the name and appearance of the killer, and nothing else. You said that if you want to present evidence, we can only take your Excellency to the place where the fight was fought at that time, and maybe we can find clues. ”

The Governor was shocked and said unhappily: "Are you making fun of this official? There is no human and material evidence, can this official just arrest Cao Xian Ling for interrogation based on your words? Do you tell me if there is such a reason? Classmate Chen doesn't understand, and you don't understand Liu Xiucai?"

"The student knows it's wrong. Liu Daming arched his hand and said: "But according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, at least the adults should go and check, and our host can immediately take off his clothes and let the adults see the scars on his body." ”

"Nonsense!" Seeing that Chen Le was innocent, the Governor was about to take off his shirt and hurriedly stopped: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, this official will punish you! This official will ask you again, can there be any evidence and material evidence?"

Chen Letian and Liu Daming glanced at each other and sighed.

Without waiting for the Governor to get angry, Chen Letian said, "In that case, the student should talk to the adult about the second thing first." This second thing, the student has evidence. ”

As he spoke, Liu Daming presented a thick stack of information.

The Governor did not look at the so-called evidence on the table, and said: "If it weren't for the fact that you are a soldier of the Northern Army, this official would have punished you, and I would not care about you for the time being. Tell me how Cao Xianling collaborated with the bandits, and how did you find out?"

Chen Letian thought to himself, uncle, I am indeed fighting for life and death in the frontier, of course a scholar like you has never seen that kind of magnificence. Said: "Lord Qiyu, the student inadvertently found out when he was investigating the twenty bandit officials, and the student didn't expect that Cao Xianling, who has always had a good reputation, was actually a complete hypocrite, saying one thing in front of the people, and another behind his back. On the surface, he loves the people like a son, but in fact, he robbed the people of the people's money together with the bandits and the Tietou Gang! The materials submitted by the students clearly stated when and where, and how much silver the Tietou Gang gave to Cao County. We have found out millions of taels before and after, and whether there are more that we have not found out is even more thought-provoking. My lord, the student has traveled so many places so much, and he has really never encountered such a thing, the respect of a county, he actually cultivated a gang to unite to loot the people, is there still a royal law? The student has been studying for many years, and I really don't know how Cao County Commander achieved the position of county commander, he is really not worthy of being a county commander. ”

Listening to Chen Letian's words with a lot of emotion, the Governor tried to get as much useful information as possible from his words.

The reason why he didn't rush to look at the evidence they submitted was because now was not the time to look at the evidence, and he needed to hear the news from Chen Letian and them, and at the same time, he wanted to know Chen Letian's appeal.

This Chen Letian's recounting with strong feelings, coupled with Liu Daming's explanation of the laws of the Great Song Dynasty from time to time, made the Governor appreciate Chen Letian's strategy.

The Governor has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he himself is more interested in prison lawsuits, so aside from Chen Letian's accusation against his classmates, he still admires Chen Letian and them in this way.

One uses affection as the main thing, and the other uses the law as a supplement.

But this is only in the early stage of more suitable for this, the law is nothing more than human feelings, and what the people care about is actually feelings.

And the real final solution to this problem, and the one who can successfully deal with the problem, still has to rely on the law.

And now is the early stage, and it is the time to start with emotions. And there are thousands of onlookers outside the Governor's Palace, showing the prosperity of Chengdu City.
