Guo Jun took the complaint and looked at the group of people standing in the hall, and he wanted to cry without tears.

God, although I, Guo Jun, am not a blue sky, I am still a good official, what kind of sin have I done!

In just over a year, first Zhang Tianci and Tan Xinren's case, Xiao Feng and Zhao Wenhua went to court.

Then there are the cases of the two princes, long live to hear the trial in person. Then there was the case of Xiao Feng and the Yan family, Xiao Feng was ambushed and forced to join the army.

God knows how many bad comments Long Live gave Guo Jun in the days when Xiao Feng died, so he almost pointed at Guo Jun's nose and scolded him: If you weren't incompetent to shake the pot, would my junior brother be able to die?

Of course, this is a very unreasonable statement, but the problem is that Guo Jun can't reason with Banzai!

Finally, Xiao Feng lived, and the fire of Long Live was extinguished, Guo Jun just breathed a sigh of relief, and today there was another accident.

Although the two groups of people standing in the hall looked inconspicuous, they stood behind them and looked at each other coldly, but Xiao Feng and Liu Tai!

Guo Jun heard someone beating the drum and rushed to the court, if he knew that this was the situation, he would definitely be sick. But it's not too late.

Guo Jun gritted his teeth, pretended to be panicked, walked out from behind the public case, and bowed his hands to Liu Tai and Xiao Feng: "Two adults, what's going on here!" ”

He walked in a hurry, and Minoru Tanaka, who was closest to him, hurriedly gave way to him, but he was still a step too late, Guo Jun seemed to have tripped over Minoru Tanaka's leg, and with an oops, he was about to fall to the ground.

Between the lightning and flint, Xiao Feng rushed up with an arrow, helped Guo Jun, and said with concern: "My lord, be careful!" ”

Guo Jun returned to the back of the public case with a bitter face, it seems that there is no trick, if he falls again, it will not be an accident, everything has to be measured, and the things that he knows well cannot be too much. m.

"Who is making a noise in the hall? Why did you come to this house to beat the drums? Who is the plaintiff and who is the defendant? ”

There were more than a dozen people in the plaintiff, noisy and shouting, and a middle-aged man who looked a bit like a mouse was introduced. Said a bit like a mouse, mostly with a beard and eyes.

This person had a few beards, his small eyes were rolling around, and his eyes had been peeking at Liu Ruyun's body, and he was startled by Guo Jun's pat at him at this time.

"My lord, the villain Liu Xia, the patriarch of the Liu family in Hexi, sued Liu Ruyun today for deception and destruction of the clan rules.

Please uphold justice, allow the villain to practice the law of the clan, confiscate Liu Ruyun's family property, and punish Liu Ruyun for cheating. ”

Guo Jun glanced at the willow, understood in his heart, and pretended to be confused on the surface: "Seeing that you are only in your thirties, how can He De become the patriarch?"

Besides, since it is a matter of your clan, you can handle it in the clan, why do you go to this mansion to file a complaint? ”

Liu Xia's eyes rolled: "The villain's father is the patriarch of the clan, and now the villain's father has died, and the clansmen have elected the villain as the patriarch, which is really difficult to shirk."

Although this matter is a matter of my clan, Liu Ruyun conspired with Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple and Xiao Feng, a real person of Wenxuan, to commit fraud. Rely on power and power to break the rules of the clan.

The villain was helpless, so he went to the adult to complain, and asked the adult to make the decision for the villain and the Liu clan!

Guo Jun frowned, this matter is quite difficult. Since Comrade Zhu Chongba, the Ming Dynasty has attached great importance to clan autonomy and has given considerable rights to clan laws and regulations for this purpose.

In some family rules, even human lives are involved, and the imperial court does not interfere. For example, the adulteress is immersed in the pig cage, the errant is reprimanded with a rod, the thief cuts off his hands, etc., all of which are very likely to die, but the court acquiesces.

But Guo Jun's title of the old fox in officialdom is not in vain? He rolled his eyes and immediately had an idea.

"This means that Liu Ruyun is not the only person you are suing, Xiao Feng is also one of the defendants?"

There is no doubt about this question, Liu Xia immediately nodded yes, Guo Jun was shocked, and everyone was startled.

"According to the Da Ming law, lower-level officials must ask for a decree before they can try higher-level officials. This official is the third grade, although Xiao Feng is a fourth-grade Shaoqing, but he has the position of a real person, which can be regarded as the second grade.

This matter cannot be tried today, and it will be said after the official asks for a decree! Retire! ”

Before the officials finished shouting the word "Wei", Mr. Guo had already run back to the back hall quickly, and the plaintiffs and defendants in the remaining hall looked at each other.

Xiao Feng glanced at Liu Tai with a smile: "Lord Liu, the patriarch you are looking for is very convenient to speak, could it be that he is from a lawyer?"

I think his father didn't agree with this, that's why he died so coincidentally. As the secretary of the Criminal Department, don't you investigate this matter? ”

Liu Tai was shocked and said angrily: "Nonsense! This official came today to participate in clan affairs as the deputy patriarch, not as an official of the Criminal Department. The longevity of the old people is the end of their lives, and everyone knows it! ”

Xiao Feng didn't talk nonsense, beckoned to Liu Ruyun and Chen Zhonghou, and walked away.

Liu Tai stared at Xiao Feng's back and cheered Liu Xia up: "Don't worry, with our support, you just have to rest assured to argue with him."

Guo Jun can't suppress this matter, and he will definitely open a court trial after the request. Aren't you known as the No. 1 lawyer in Hexi, it's up to you this time! ”

When Jiajing saw Guo Jun's recital, he explained the basic facts of the case in the front, and wrote in the back that he would handle it in accordance with the rules. Finally, there was a very familiar sentence.

"He is old and frail, sick, and slow in thinking. The facts of this case are complicated, and the high-ranking officials and real people are involved, and the minister implores ......"

The strokes are somewhat incoherent when the words are written here, not like they were done in one go, as if they hesitated, and then they were written.

"I implore that the decree will be issued by Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

It turned out that Guo Jun was going to habitually throw the pot to Xiao Feng, but fortunately he braked in time to remember Xiao Feng as the defendant, and this time he couldn't take the blame for him anymore, so he simply pulled the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple in one go.

If you want to die, everyone will die together, and you can't just kill my old Guo. I can't keep taking the blame because my surname is Guo.

Jiajing frowned, as the world's No. 1 pot throwing expert, he is extremely familiar with the technique of throwing the pot, but Guo Jun's pot throwing is level, reasonable, and well-founded, even Jiajing can't say that it is wrong.

When it comes to Xiao Feng, Jiajing seems to be more cautious. And with the previous troubles in Liutai, Jiajing somewhat felt that there should be a shadow of the Yan family here.

The ministers fight, Jiajing doesn't care, and welcomes. However, just a few days after the junior brother crawled out of the coffin, would he be powerless in the face of such a thing?

was hesitating, Xiao Feng had already walked into the West Garden, and Jiajing simply showed him the recital, which was not lacking in teasing.

"You are the son-in-law of the Liu family, and now that the clan is knocking on the door, what should you do?"

Xiao Feng smiled slightly: "Senior brother, what do you think of the clan forces in various places in the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Jiajing groaned slightly, already understanding what Xiao Feng meant. The Ming Dynasty has always supported clan autonomy since Hongwu, in fact, to reduce management costs.

It is easy to manage the big city, and one government is in charge of the whole city, but it is difficult for small towns, not only the residents are scattered, but the distance between villages and towns is far away.

If a permanent government office is established, the total number of officials will swell dramatically, and the management cost will increase dramatically, and the state will not be able to afford it.

Therefore, in these villages and towns, clan autonomy is the mainstay, and the vast majority of incidents are resolved internally, and the pressure on the government is naturally much lighter, which is indeed a good way to maintain stability.

But Jiajing knew in his heart that the clan power had been expanding over the years, and problems had emerged that could not be ignored.

For example, the stronger the clan, the stronger the ability to run a school, and the easier it is for the clan to raise people and scholars.

After these people are promoted and promoted to become officials, they will in turn help their clans to make profits, accumulate wealth, install personnel, and make the clan stronger.

A more powerful clan will produce more people and jinshi, and the cycle will continue to expand......

And in those places where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, many people have formed a psychological stereotype that they only know that there is a clan and do not know that there is an official government. The clan is better than the government.

If this situation develops, it will gradually evolve into the Tusi of Miaojiang, the Taiji of the grassland, the little living Buddha of Tibet, and the Jurchen Niulu Ezhen......

Although he is not a king, he is actually a local emperor who dominates one side, and whenever there is a stir, it will become a source of turmoil.

"The pros and cons are mixed, they can be controlled, the clan rules have been passed down for a long time, and they are not easy to say and move. If you cook a small meal in a big country, the heat will be too big and it will be mushy. ”

Xiao Feng nodded, indicating that the senior brother was right: "But it seems that you can knock and knock, otherwise the tail will not be big in the future, and the imperial court decree will not enter the county."

The place where these clans are entrenched has become a country within a country, a place outside the law, although there is luck, but it does not leak, and it has nothing to do with the fortune of my Ming Dynasty! ”

Well? Jiajing suddenly opened his eyes, that's the case, that's different!

The court wants to save worry because I want to save my heart; I want to worry about it because I want to concentrate on cultivating; If I want to cultivate the Tao, I need the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

According to the junior brother, once these places become a country within a country, then the luck is their own, and it has nothing to do with the fortune of the Ming Dynasty.

This is unreasonable! Why did my Ming territory become alopecia areata? My Ming national fortune, why didn't the clan use it?

"Senior brother is reasonable, it's time to knock and knock, you seem to have a plan for this? Again, be measured, don't go overboard. ”

Xiao Feng smiled and nodded: "This case is not simple, there should be a case within a case." Since I woke up, I heard that Liu Tai had become the deputy patriarch, and I had already sent people from the World View to investigate.

After returning to Dali Temple, I sent the Dali Temple arrester to search for evidence, so I don't have to worry. ”

Jiajing nodded, based on Xiao Feng's past historical performance, he was still very relieved about Xiao Feng.

"This is very good, since this matter is related to the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty, on the day of the opening of the trial, I will go to the back hall to observe."

Seeing that Xiao Feng was leaving, Huang Jin coughed twice in a row, and Jiajing suddenly remembered.

"I heard, you asked Huang Ban to find you Chang'an's medical case, he is ready, but there is a cure?

Chang An's illness has become more and more serious in the past few days, and many imperial doctors are helpless.

You said that human life is at stake, and her life is her own business, and I can't ask for her.

Why don't you let someone take you into the palace, let Chang An personally measure the words, if the destiny is inviolable, you tell me, and I know it well. ”

Jiajing's expression was filled with Xiao Suo, probably because he didn't call himself me in front of Xiao Feng, he didn't look like an emperor at the moment, just a father who loved his daughter.

Xiao Feng gave his senior brother a slap: "Senior brother, don't worry, I will do my best." ”

Some people died, but not completely......
