Shen Shuren calmed down, and knew that he couldn't rush to make a plan, so he went back to the house that night and rested first.

At the beginning of his recovery, his body was indeed tired, so he fell asleep as soon as he got into bed, and only woke up the next morning.

After getting up, he first exercised his body, sweated a little, and then washed up and eaten.

When the green angelica was clothing, Shen Shuren saw a bowl of turtle jelly-like food, but the color was light and transparent, and he pointed and asked, "What is this?" ”

Qing Zhi: "This is a cold cake made in the kitchen with Japanese agar and konjac, and mint leaves are added to the staff, saying that it is to cool off the heat - these medicinal materials were sent by the guests who came to visit the patient yesterday." ”

Shen Shuren was noncommittal.

The agar and konjac craftsmanship of the Wa Kingdom is indeed somewhat unique, and it is made by the secret method of kelp and konjac.

But in the year of the catastrophe, it was too much to import a little food.

In order to stabilize the situation, the Zheng family really spent money.

Shen Shuren was in the spirit of criticism and non-waste, and ate it quickly, and the taste was very good.

……

After breakfast, Shen Shuren stayed in the study and began to think about last night's events again.

He is still quite optimistic in his heart.

Isn't it just an excuse to go to Nanjing? With the identity of a gentleman and a rich young master, if you want to cause something else and run away, there are definitely many alternatives.

His first reaction was to think that Xue Pan had killed someone, and he could easily run away, so that Jia Yucun could clean up the aftermath for him, and he was not afraid of crime and absconded.

After all, this paragraph in "Dream of Red Mansions" is too well-known, and he has been taught in Chinese classes, so of course he is too familiar with this kind of scholar to be familiar with it. However, his current character design is too similar to Xue Pan's huge wealth and evil youth, and he is also going to Nanjing.

Once the mind is attracted by this crooked path, the subsequent bad water will uncontrollably gush out.

"If I follow Xue Pan's example, kill someone in Suzhou, and then 'abscond in fear of crime' to Nanjing, is it feasible?"

As soon as this thought popped up, Shen Shuren himself was startled by himself.

Fortunately, he quickly calmed down, combed carefully, and abandoned this ridiculous idea.

Xue Pan went to Beijing for another purpose, to send Xue Baochai to the draft. And if he, Shen Shuren, made a mistake and wanted to avoid it, why did he go to Nanjing? Zheng Zhilong will definitely suspect that it was deliberate.

Secondly, if you really have to fall into the criminal record, how can you enter the national prison. Xue Pan is impulsive and has no brain, he is planning and then acting, of course he has to do better.

Shen Shuren continued to brainstorm along the train of thought, and soon brewed an improved version.

"Although it is not feasible to commit a real crime, if you delve into the "Da Ming Law", carefully design the case, and find some illegal obstruction reasons, similar to 'righteous courage/legitimate defense', what will be the effect?

As long as it can be done, it will look like a crime when it comes to picking out the words. But if you look at it from the perspective of 'Spring and Autumn Prison Sentence, take its original intention', it is not a crime, can't you appeal to the top? By the way, you have to confirm whether you are going to Nanjing to appeal. ”

Only after investigation can you have the right to speak, and you can't be reckless.

When Shen Shuren was thinking about problems, he had a small problem with turning his pen. At this moment, with a wave of his hand, the lake pen in his hand knocked on the jade chime on the desk, making a crisp sound, and after a few seconds, Shen Fu, the follower, appeared at the door, waiting for the order.

"Go find a set of "Da Ming Law", and I will need it immediately."

Shen Fu was also unambiguous: "Young Master, wait, do you have any other orders?" ”

Shen Shuren leaned on the mahogany Taishi chair and rubbed his temples with the barrel of his pen: "Then get another set...... The kind of document that stipulates the scope of duties of the various yamen of the imperial court. ”

Shen Fu thought for a while, and said with some uneasiness: "I have never heard of such a book, but the 'law of officials' in "Da Ming Law" seems to contain these contents. Or, I'll find the "Da Ming Law" first, and then ask the master to confirm? ”

Shen Shuren was suddenly a little embarrassed, and hurriedly changed his words: "Okay, then I want "Da Ming Law" first, and I will talk about the rest when I read it." ”

Shen Fu turned around and left, while Shen Shuren secretly reviewed: his understanding of the laws of the Ming Dynasty was not as good as a follower, and he mistakenly thought that the "Da Ming Law" was just a criminal law.

It seems that the new followers that his father chose for him were all seriously cultivated by the family, at least he had read.

After a while, Shen Fu successively found the "Da Ming Law", and there were hundreds of volumes before and after, and Shen Shuren had a big head for a while, but he could only harden it.

He first outlined the outline and flipped through the entries, and roughly confirmed that the "Da Ming Law" was actually a comprehensive law that included the criminal law, procedural law, and administrative law of later generations. The content of the civil law is also a little bit, mainly in terms of personal obligations and the identification of land property.

As for why there is so much space, the main reason is that Shen Fu found these books, which not only include the laws of the Hongwu period, but also the regulations that were added later-

Zhu Yuanzhang was particularly disgusted with the heir's "turning chaos into law", so the terms of the "Da Ming Law" have not been allowed to be amended for more than 200 years. However, the early laws were too simple, and many new things were not stipulated at all, so the heir had to add precedents to the law.

Hongwu's law is only 30 volumes, the "Questioning and Punishment Regulations" in the Hongzhi period has added more than 20 volumes, and the Jiajing and Wanli dynasties have added more than 30 volumes each, adding up to 120 volumes.

Fortunately, Shen Shuren deliberately studied with specific questions, and when he read a book, he hit the key point like a search engine, and turned over the useless places.

This efficiency is obviously many times higher than that of those who are flooded with water.

In just half an hour, he sorted out the outline and figured out a few key issues that could be used by the way.

For example, he first confirmed that the Ming Dynasty no longer has the form of "judicial interpretation" such as "The Great Message", which was more common in the early Ming Dynasty, especially Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite use.

However, if a difficult case is encountered and the local court has tried it and feels that it is of representative significance, it should still theoretically be reported. After the provincial-level probationary envoy or even the central criminal department reviews it, if it is deemed to be of value for promotion, it will issue "model cases for learning" from other places to improve the understanding of the legal provisions.

In places where some grassroots organizations have done well, they will even post cases in the declaration booth to explain to the people.

It's just that now that the Ming Dynasty has eroded like this, this kind of thing that can be "selectively discretionary" is generally better than less in the local area, and what can be reported or not is not reported as much as possible.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, the Shen family is rich and powerful. Shen Shuren will naturally have a way to let the Suzhou government "voluntarily work overtime to report and request a review".

Once the system has been decided, the next issue is to determine the unit that implements it.

And Shen Shuren in Suzhou, this point is very advantageous - in other provinces, according to the severity of the difficult cases reported, some are under the control of the procuratorate, and some are under the management of the criminal department, and it is not absolutely controllable.

But Suzhou belongs to Nanzhili.

In the Ming Dynasty's Nanzhili area, there were no three envoys, such as political envoys and envoys, and the related work was directly under the corresponding yamen management of the six departments of Nanjing.

Therefore, no matter how complicated the case is, in the end, it is the Nanjing Criminal Department that is in charge.

That's it.

Shen Shuren let out a sigh of relief.

Although the final solution has not yet been found, the idea has taken another step forward:

He needs to design a case that seems to be a crime, but is not actually a crime, but ensures that it can reach the Nanjing Criminal Department. When the time comes, the Nanjing Criminal Department will take him away for face-to-face interrogation and review.

And once it is finally determined that he is innocent, such as "legitimate defense/righteous courage", then there will be no stain left, and it can be found that "it turns out that you are cured, then go to the national prison", and directly cook raw rice and mature rice.

The task assigned by Yang Ge Lao, even if it is guaranteed, the Zheng family will not be able to stop it.

The only question that remains is how to design the specific case.

……

Shen Shuren nested in the study with "Da Ming Law" holding back the water, and when he saw the lunch time, he had no intention of resting.

He is still recuperating, and his father does not want him to say hello in the morning and dusk, but he will still ask the maid to come and visit him for dinner, and if he hasn't eaten yet, he will call by the way.

Shen Shuren had no choice but to put a bookmark in the book, got up and followed the maid through the courtyard of Sanjin, around a pond garden with Taihu Lake stones, and came to the place to eat.

Shen Shusheng's mother is dead, and his father only has his stepmother and a group of aunts by his side.

In line with the rule of "food does not speak", everyone did not say a word during the meal.

After eating, the maid brought the tea, and Shen Tingyang waved his hand to signal his wife and concubine to retreat. Only then did he ask about his son's physical condition and what he had done today.

Shen Shuren also reported his thoughts by the way.

Hearing that his son wanted to exploit the loopholes of "Da Ming Law" and set up a bureau, Shen Tingyang's first reaction was rather disgusted.

But there seemed to be no better way at the moment, so he told his son to plan and then act, not to be reckless.

Subsequently, Shen Tingyang assigned one more thing:

"Although Zheng Hongkui came to spy a while ago, he gave so many heavy gifts after all. Everyone didn't tear their faces on the surface, and they still had to return the gift. One day, when you feel good, go to his place and say goodbye. ”

These words reminded Shen Shuren, and he immediately thought in his heart: "Father, since I have planned to find another way to Nanjing, I should also do some foreshadowing for the Zheng family's side to calm his heart."

In addition, as for how the Zheng family plans to operate Zheng Sen's resignation, we should also find out the details in advance, so that we can have a target when the time comes—is it possible that after we agreed to take the lead in pretending to be sick, they would dare to openly refuse Guozijian's invitation? ”

When Shen Tingyang heard this question, he was not worried at all, but rarely showed a little smugness:

"It's rare that you have also thought of this question, my father has actually inquired a long time ago - when the Zheng family first came to the door, I asked the temptation: 'If everyone chooses to pretend to be sick and quit school, it will inevitably be too coincidental, and I am afraid that it will not help'.

In order to get me to cooperate, Zheng Hongkui also had to confide in the details of their plan. said that Zheng Jiaming would reply to Guozijian and promise to let Zheng Sen go to Nanjing, so I don't have to worry about coincidences.

It's just that after they sent Zheng Sen to Suzhou, they would let Zheng Sen rest and show up in Suzhou a few times, and then pretended to be sick in Suzhou on the spot with the idea that 'the southerners have never gone north, and they are not accustomed to the water and soil'.

The Zheng family's forces are all at sea, and Suzhou is still at the mouth of the Yangtze River, where they still have the ability to ensure that Zheng Sen is safe, and they can immediately go to sea and escape if there is any trouble. But if they went inland to Nanjing, they would not be that sure. ”

Shen Shuren nodded: "In this case, we should make the Zheng family feel that we have one heart with them as soon as possible, and urge them to get Zheng Sen to Suzhou as soon as possible, so that we can have the opportunity to cut through the mess quickly in the future." ”

Shen Shuren knew in his heart that even if he finally went to Nanjing without stimulating the Zheng family, he would only complete Yang Sichang's task and work hard.

If you really want to exceed the task, you have to make Yang Sichang realize that "even if the people of the Shen family go, the Zheng family may still shirk the blame". Then, through the operation of the Shen family, Zheng Sen was also deceived to Nanjing, which was a complete success and gave Yang Sichang a surprise.

Now that everything has been done, it must be thoroughly beautiful.

Shen Tingyang listened to his son's words and felt that he was still a little careful.

Wouldn't it be too presumptuous to have to carry out other preparations in parallel before the previous step was completed?

But Shen Shuren analyzed with a trembling tongue: "Father, time is very tight, and I can't come slowly." You think, Yang Ge Lao asked Nanjing Guozijian to invite me to wait, although it was only temporary.

But this year is the year of the township examination every three years, and Nan Zhixiu will go to Nanjing in August to prepare for the autumn examination. I just checked the law of officials, and the first few categories of Guozi prison students can be compared with the treatment of people and participate in the examination, but they are all required to be registered one month before the autumn season.

In other words, only by completing the naturalization of Guozijian in July this year can we compare the treatment of today's imperial examination and participate in next year's examination. If the imperial court wants to promote Zheng Sen to go to Nanjing as soon as possible, an important bait is to ask him to complete the registration in July.

Although Zheng Sen's knowledge is impossible to take the entrance examination. But once this window period is missed, the Zheng family can call themselves sick for a long time, and say to the outside world, 'Anyway, I have missed the opportunity of the three-year round, so there is no need to rush for a while'.

It's the end of May, and we're going to get things done in July, and we have to leave time to spend on the road, so we don't have much time left. ”

This key point is also what Shen Shuren just figured out when he read Da Ming Law in the morning:

In history, Zheng Sen was able to delay until Chongzhen's fifteenth year to go to Nanjing, perhaps an important reason was that "anyway, he missed the opportunity of Chongzhen's twelfth year to 'try the treatment of the township', so he simply waited for three more years."

Of course, this is just reasoning, there is no evidence.

When Shen Tingyang heard this, his eyes lit up again, and he muttered approvingly:

"Indeed...... Time waits for no man. Alas, I knew that you were so good at reasoning about human feelings, and you should have been trained to deal with these officialdom in the early years, so let's do what you said. ”

Shen Shuren was relieved to receive support, and hurriedly calculated the specific operation with his father, and then immediately began to arrange.

As long as Zheng Sen can be promoted to come to Suzhou as soon as possible, this matter will be one step closer to the final success.

After all, in history, Zheng Sen and Zheng Zhilong, father and son, were completely different in their attitudes towards the Ming court. Zheng Zhilong only wants the interests of his family, and Zheng Sen is really anti-Qing.

Maybe the Zheng family's current little trick of secretly calculating the imperial court doesn't even know Zheng Sen himself, but his father is manipulating.

The potential contradictions that may exist within the Zheng family father and son are also part of the future operation space of Shen Shuren. It's easier to trick a rebellious teenager into rebelling against his father than it is to deal directly with a treacherous warlord.
