The first Lu picked up the iron-faced face and opened the court
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Wu Yong's words and stopped, Cao Cao knew what he meant, but he didn't see it, and said to Chao Gai sincerely: "Brother Chao should not only look at the attractive reputation, the sword has two edges, and there are two sides to the matter, this matter is done, although Liang Shan can become a leader in the rivers and lakes in one fell swoop, but he has also become the first bird in the eyes of the imperial court, and the target of the public. This verse should not be overlooked. ”
Seeing that he said it first, Wu Yong and Hua Rong glanced at each other again, and they were both ashamed: Ah, it turns out that this person is selfless in his heart, otherwise how can he be willing to reveal his shortcomings? But it is the heart of our villain that spends the belly of other gentlemen.
Cao Cao smiled secretly, who can hide such shortcomings that anyone with a discerning eye can think of? What's more, Guan Chao Gai is a person, heroic and resolute, and has no foresight, but when such people see the benefits in front of them, it is difficult to see the steel knife behind them, even if they say it, what does it matter.
Sure enough, Chao Gai didn't care at all, and said disdainfully: "If I leave 800 miles of water, I will send 100,000 troops and let him die one by one." ”
Cao Cao clasped his fists and praised: "The pride of the king of heaven is really heartbreaking!" ”
If others praised him, Chao Gai couldn't just smile, but the praise from "Emperor Wei Wu" made Chao Gaida feel proud and ecstatic from his heart.
"Hahaha! But it's a little timid, and it doesn't deserve the reputation of a martial brother, so let's ...... Hahaha...... "He wanted to say that then we will just say it, but who knew that the ecstasy was irrepressible, and before he finished speaking, he laughed again."
Seeing that Cao Cao's brothers were dumbfounded-the dignified Liangshan boss, the king of Tota Chao Gai, how can this temperament be somewhat similar to Li Kui?
As soon as everyone thought of Li Kui, Li Kui laughed and said: "Hahaha, you bearded man has no city, my eldest brother praises you, you are happy, it can be seen that he is also a straight belly hero, when he finishes his eldest brother's business, Tie Niu will drink a few bowls with you." ”
Everyone laughed for a while, Chao Gai also knew that he was out of shape, and smiled bitterly, but fortunately, he was indeed bold and upright, and he didn't hide it, patted Li Kui on the shoulder and said: "Your eldest brother is a great hero, how can I not be happy when he praises me?" You rushed into battle to kill people before, I saw it in my eyes, and you are also an amazing iron man, and you want to drink bitterly. ”
Li Kui was overjoyed and shouted: "Liangshan's brothers are really extravagant, if they didn't want to follow my eldest brother to be the head of the capital, they would have gone to your Liangshan and joined the bird gang." ”
Chao Gai perked up when he heard this: "If Brother Wu is willing to give in, who else will the lord of Liangshanbo give up to you?" ”
This was said to Cao Cao, Cao Cao waved his hand and smiled: "Brother has his own plans, it's not too late to go back and talk about it in detail." ”
So everyone came to the palace hall, Pei Xuan invited Cao Cao to sit on the prefect's seat, Cao Cao took a step back, and pushed Pei Xuan back: "Brother, in this lawsuit, no one can call the shots except you, on private interests, you are the bitter master framed by Cai Jiu, on the public, you don't judge the case with an iron face, what do you want?" For my brother's righteous desire to watch you judge the case with an iron face! ”
Why did Cao Cao say that? At this time, the full name of Confucius was called "Six Cases of Confucius", how to call it "Six Cases"? It corresponds to the six departments of the imperial court's center, and the criminal prison proceedings, tax account books, supervision warehouses, etc. are all within the scope of the "six cases". In terms of internal management ability alone, the excellent Confucius is probably stronger than the prefect.
Pei Xuanyu hesitated, but it was Wu Yong who interjected: "Brother Confucius, the eldest husband is in charge, and he should not let go." ”
Pei Xuan woke up suddenly, he didn't recognize Wu Yong, and when he saw him dressed as a scribe, he said, "Mr. has good teachings." ”
He waved at Cao Cao again: "Big brother, that's the case, let's see the younger brother judge the case!" ”
After saying that, he straightened his back, a majestic look appeared on his face, and he sat upright behind the case, his momentum was solemn and solemn, and everyone applauded: "What an iron-faced face, if all the officials in the world are like this, wouldn't you see the blue sky everywhere?" ”
Pei Xuan's eyes froze, and he shouted: "Come here, bring someone to the court!" ”
But when he heard Deng Fei laugh outside the door, he responded: "Bring someone to commit a crime!" Gao puffed up his chest and strode into the hall, all the heroes laughed when they saw it, but they saw him holding Cai Jiu's ankle with one hand and dragging him into the lobby.
Deng Fei threw away the leg in his hand, hugged his fists and said, "My lord, the criminal Cai Jiu is here!" Cai Jiu knocked on his heels: "Don't kneel yet?" Do you have to ask the master to serve you? ”
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Cai Jiu screamed, struggling to kneel, he was not wearing an official uniform, wearing a dirty catcher clothes, obviously trying to make up and escape, but failed.
He was born fat, but his clothes were narrow, and he was strangled with fat one by one, and his face was covered with dust, and his frightened countenance looked pitiful and ridiculous.
Li Kui smiled when he saw it: "Where is this Cai Jiu Taishou?" It's clearly a fat rat stolen from the grain depot. ”
Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi laughed loudly, and for a while there was a joyful atmosphere in the public hall, where was there still a little solemnity.
Cao Cao said: "Tie Niu is right, this Jiangzhou is the land of fish and rice, Cai Jiu relied on Cai Jingshi to come here as an official, and he is a big rat who has a round belly and eats in the national granary." Tie Niu, the court is solemn, I will wait and don't speak, and watch Master Pei judge the case. ”
Li Kuihan responded with a smile.
Pei Xuan glanced at Cao Cao gratefully, and refocused his gaze on Cai Jiu: "Cai Dezhang!" You are guilty! ”
"Knowing the guilt and knowing the guilt, the lower officials are greatly guilty." Cai Jiuji nodded like pecking rice: "The lower officials know that there are two major crimes, the first is that Lord Pei, who hated you at the beginning, refused to bend the law together, designed a frame-up, and sent you to the army; The second one, I didn't listen to Huang Wenbing's provocation and framed the righteous man Song Gongming, which caused the strong man to be angry and shed blood all over the city, which was the fault of the lower officials! According to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, the punishment should be dismissal and exile, and the lower officials are now under the law, please judge the adults. ”
After that, he knocked his head on the ground for a long time, so no one saw a treacherous smile on his face.
Originally, when Cai Jiuchu was arrested, he was terrified, especially after seeing Pei Xuan, the panic reached its peak, and he said that he would definitely die, who knew that Pei Xuan only glanced at him coldly, and ordered people to continue to arrest officials at all levels, and block the treasury of the official mansion and Cai Jiu's mansion.
Cai Jiu trembled beside him for a while, and slowly became less afraid. Just because he heard people talk intermittently, he wanted to judge them as officials with Song Law. I can't help but secretly ecstasy: These chaotic grass cowards, if they play with thick arms, I Cai Dezhang have to accept my fate, but if you want to judge me according to the law? Hehe, that's exactly - the fish got rid of the golden hook, waged its tail and shook its head again!
Pei Xuanwan didn't expect Cai Jiu to confess his guilt so readily, his brows furrowed, and he was silent for a while.
Cao Cao stepped forward and said in a low voice: "How does the law of the Great Song Dynasty stipulate? ”
Pei Xuan said in a low voice: "According to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, officials frame colleagues and subordinates, and the evidence is true, and the dismissal will never be used; The officials punished unjustly, tortured into tricks, and after dismissal, they were exiled from 800 to 3,000 li depending on the result. ”
Cao Cao listened and said to himself: "This Song State has a very good treatment for civil officials. Yes, these laws are also set by civil officials, if the emperor is not strong, he will naturally be comfortable. ”
Could it be that Cai Jiu is so spared? With Cai Jing in the court, any exile and dismissal is a joke, not to mention that this court is unreasonable, except for murder, other punishments are meaningless.
Cao Cao's eyes rolled, he was about to open his mouth, when he suddenly heard someone screaming outside the hall: "Ladies and gentlemen, if you really want to try Cai Jiu according to law, you must mobilize the people to make a first accusation, this person has been in Jiangzhou for many years, and there are countless bloody cases on his body, which is enough to kill him." ”
Cai Jiuyi heard that his soul flew out of the sky, his body fell to one side, and he screamed wildly: "No, no, that villain is talking nonsense, he himself is a wicked person in the township, and the kings must not listen to him to provoke." ”
Cao Cao laughed: "Someone actually thought of a place with me?" Unexpectedly, there are still great sages in Jiangzhou, so quickly bring them to the hall to meet. ”
There is a division of teaching: Jiangzhou rats are very round and fat, and the iron-faced rules are unwilling to disobey. Since ancient times, it is difficult for good people to overcome evil, and evil people have to be beaten by evil people.
