Chapter 171: It's all a routine

Now the focus is on Governor Wei, and everyone wants to see how Dazhong Cheng treats this matter.

Judging from the position he stood when he appeared just now, Xi Siwei Dachaofeng must be of special significance to Dazhongcheng's tenure, and he probably nominally holds a position such as a staff master.

According to the rules of officialdom in the rivers and lakes, even if there are 10,000 reasons to take down or take away Xi Siwei, you must first obtain the consent of Governor Wei, unless there is a holy decree to reach directly.

At this time, Lin Daguan jumped out again and said: "I, Lin Tailai, often tell people that Dazhongcheng is the object that our officials should emulate!"

Dazhong Cheng has always been of good character, upright as an official, and fair in his dealings! In the face of great rights and wrongs, there is no room for selfishness! ”

The words "major right and wrong" and "no room for selfishness" are obviously mentioning the big and medium.

The upset Governor Wei just wants to scold the street regardless of decency, and often tell people about your mother's size!

The welcoming ceremony of a Jiangnan governor returning to Suzhou City has become such a chicken feather situation!

Governor Wei felt that he had been trapped, but he didn't know who he was trapped.

Then he said angrily: "Then why didn't you Lin Tailai make it clear to this official in advance!" Look at you, you're deliberately concealing the facts of the case and doing sneaky things! ”

Lin Daguan hurriedly said aggrievedly: "The royal tax envoy has instructed that the arrest of criminals is a confidential matter, and the slightest rumor should not be leaked in advance, so as to prevent criminals from hiding and escaping.

This is the common sense of handling cases, how can there be a reason to let people go before arresting criminals?

The prisoner has always been by Dazhongcheng's side, and he has no chance to report it alone!

Besides, he has already taken on a huge role in the possibility of leaking secrets, and keeps hinting that there are treacherous evils around Dazhongcheng, so let Dazhongcheng not be deceived! ”

Governor Wei: "."

It turns out that every nonsense that Ling Lin Tailai said just now is actually a pit?

Regardless of the procedure or the reason, you Lin Tailai have to account for it all?

Xi Dachaofeng also knows that now is the most critical time.

He also knew very well that there was no point in forcibly defending himself at this time.

Because on this issue, Lin Tailai obviously came prepared and was very well prepared, so he fell into a huge passivity, and it was difficult for him to prove his innocence.

So Xi Dachao knelt down directly in front of Governor Wei, who had received thousands of taels of silver from him.

Then he said hoarsely: "Dazhong Chengdong is clearly inspected, and it is really framed below!"

Regarding Lin Tailai's accusations against Zaixia, Zai Xia is willing to accept Dazhongcheng's trial in order to pay off his innocence! ”

This is the best way that can be thought of in a hurry, since it is useless to directly face Lin Tailai with the well-prepared Lin Tailai, so he will retreat into advance, and then change from passive to active.

As long as this so-called "killing official" case is handed over to Governor Wei for trial, then there will be a chance to overturn the case!

And logically speaking, it is appropriate to hand over a major case like "killing an official" to the governor for trial, and it will not be as funny as Lin Tailai's eight cases.

Everyone else wants to stay out of the matter and not get involved in cause and effect.

Only a certain Zai Fu Gongzi who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement shouted: "But Dazhong Cheng just ordered the suspect to be released!" Is it appropriate to let Dazhong Cheng try the suspect again! ”

Just now, Governor Wei dared not to give face to Shen Erye, and Shen Erye dared to dismantle the stage now, this is the cycle of cause and effect.

Everyone remembered that just now, after Lin Daguan arrested Xi Dachao, he had also said to Governor Wei, "The matter involves secrets, and there is no one on the left and right when there is a detailed matter".

But Governor Wei was probably afraid of Lin Tailai's force value, so he didn't dare to leave anyone on his feet, and forced Lin Tailai to release Xi Siwei, who "killed officials and rebelled".

So the question is, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, what should be the crime of openly shielding and using power to rescue the officials who "murdered the mastermind"?

Should such an official avoid suspicion when it comes to trials?

Looking back suddenly, Lin Tailai actually dug a pit here, blocking the retreat of Xi Dachaofeng!

Today's scene has been able to stay cold, Lin Daguan has made great contributions, and one person has contributed more than 60% of his lines.

At this time, I heard Lin Daguan say: "I, Lin Tailai, often tell people that Wei Dazhongcheng is the most admired official in my life!"

And the thing that Wei Dazhongcheng admires most about me is that in the face of justice, he dares to kill his relatives with righteousness."

Until now, Governor Wei can finally understand why when he made it clear just now that he wanted to rectify Lin Tailai, the attitude of the prefectural and county officials was very inactive.

It's not that they are colluding and shielding Haoqiang, but everyone thinks that if they want to use eight trivial cases, at best, such as beating people and occupying land, they will handle a super-large Diao Min like Lin Tailai, which is almost impossible.

Those prefectural and county officials who are more familiar with the situation at the grassroots level are very unoptimistic about this and are too lazy to waste their efforts in vain, so they pass the buck and pass the buck.

At this point, Governor Wei looked at the county officials, hoping that someone would stand up and make a round.

But most of the officials were silent, obviously not wanting to get into such huge trouble, and they really couldn't do it.

Although there are many similarities between the Ming officialdom system and later generations, there are also some fundamental differences.

For example, all officials are appointed by the imperial court, whether it is the local prefect or the prefect, they are all directly appointed by the imperial court, rather than appointed and dismissed by the governor, which is slightly more independent than that of later generations.

Therefore, there are some things in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty that are simply unbelievable in the eyes of later generations.

Everyone is an official of the imperial court, and the benefits that local officials can get by patting Sima Fart are slightly less than those of later generations.

The governor cannot promote the prefect to a general judgment in one sentence, nor can he demote the prefect to the same governor in one sentence.

The officials have rods and scales in their hearts, and it is very worthless to go to the governor for the big trouble of "killing officials and rebelling".

Also, those who are officials must consider the problem comprehensively!

The king who was besieged by the mob made his brother the king Situ, who was older than the governor.

If you help Governor Wei exonerate the suspect, what do Wang Situ, Wang Yushi, and Wang Fangbo think?

The officials were reluctant to speak, but Shen Erye still didn't give Governor Wei face so much, and jumped out to suggest:

"It is reasonable to let the royal tax envoy personally interrogate! He is the victim and will certainly try his best to find out the truth. ”

Xi Dachao's soul was scattered when he was enthroned, and with the relationship between Lin Tailai and the king's capital, he went to the king's capital to be interrogated, and he could still live?

With the style of the king's capital, maybe Lin Tai will be directly entrusted to replace the chief judge!

Governor Wei still wanted to keep Xi Dachao's orders, showing a bit of urgency, pointing to Yuan Hongdao, the magistrate of Changzhou, and said:

"Then why do you want to go far and not entrust Yuan Zhixian to try it! Wang Zhidu is the victim of the victim, isn't Yuan Hongdao the victim? ”

Compared with Wang Zhidu, who has a background and is independent of the locality, Yuan Hongdao, a subordinate magistrate, is of course better to "settle".

Then Governor Wei asked Yuan Zhixian directly, "If this court entrusts you to try the case, will you accept it?" ”

Yuan Zhixian was stunned and replied, "Then the lower official should ask Lin Tailai a few words separately first." ”

Then Yuan Hongdao called Lin Tailai aside to talk alone, and asked directly to the point: "Are those eight cases true?" ”

After all, Yuan Zhixian has only been here for half a month, and he is not very clear about Lin Daguan's previous bullshit.

But this question stumped the witty Lin Daguan, and the topic had obviously shifted to the "killing of officials" case, why did Yuan Zhixian question the matter of "eight cases of the same defendant" again?

The main reason is that he doesn't understand the motive of Yuan Zhixian's questioning, so it is difficult to answer.

Maybe the great writer Zhixian has a sense of justice, and wants to confirm whether he has done evil, and then determine his next attitude?

You may also want to test yourself by taking advantage of the eight cases, and want to see if you are willing to tell the truth, is it sincere?

If you can't figure out the psychological motivation of the questioner, it will be difficult to give a targeted answer!

After Lin Daguan was distressed for a while, his mind suddenly flashed, but he remembered a favorite routine of the people of the Lighthouse Country hundreds of years later!

So before replying, Lin Daguan first sighed deeply, raised his head at a forty-five degree angle and looked up at the sky.

Paired with eye and facial details, it creates a melancholic mood.

Seeing that Yuan Hongdao was a little confused, he just asked you casually, why did you act directly?

Lin Tailai said in a deep voice: "Yuan Xianzun may not know something, he was born in a destitute family in the west of Suzhou, and since he was a child, he could only eavesdrop on lectures outside the window of social studies, and then practice writing with branches on the river beach, and even was beaten for stealing books from social studies.

When he became an adult, he was sent by his parents to the town to make a living, and he involuntarily became a thug and stick disciple despised by the world.

Despite this, Zai Xia still has a bright heart, loves literature, and has never given up studying with the encouragement of Uncle Song in the same village.

But Zaixia, who was mired in the quagmire of suffering, had no way out, and did not ascend the ladder, so he could only rely on instinct to desperately climb out of the quagmire. ”

Hearing such an inspirational past, Yuan Hongdao couldn't help but be a little moved, and thought of Lin Daguanren's famous work "Three Songs of Feelings".

He commented: "The poems in my arms, the world thinks that you are satirizing Wang Yizhougong, and I finally tasted it today, in fact, it is you who are indignant and shouting for yourself." ”

Lin Daguan waited for Yuan Hongdao to interject, and then continued to speak without emotion, as if what he said was someone else's business:

"People in the rivers and lakes, they can't help themselves, and in this process, they will inevitably be forced to do something against their will.

This is not the original intention of the subordinate, but the abominable environment in which I am forced to do it!

If you don't do those things against your will, you will immediately be ruined, and all the knowledge in your chest will be wasted!

Yuan Xianzun should be able to empathize, just like Yuan Xianzun, you don't want to be an official, you are full of greasy, but you have to be an official! ”

Yuan Zhixian really empathized and nodded suddenly! That's right, that's what it feels like!

Since he likes to listen to it, he will say a few more words, and Lin Tailai continued:

"People from such backgrounds are different from rich and noble sons like Shen Erye and Wang Yusheng, in order to break free from the shackles of suffering and fate, there will be some inevitable original sins on their bodies.

For example, the eight cases asked by Yuan Xianzun are actually the original sin below.

Part of the situation in the eight cases is indeed true, but the facts aside, is it all my fault?

Isn't it even more thought-provoking why someone can concoct a sensational eight cases based on just part of the facts?

Now that he has made a small achievement, the name of literature has finally been recognized, and he has the opportunity to serve the imperial court, and he often wants to do some good deeds to repay the township, whether it is river water conservancy or the new construction of city gates, it is a matter for the benefit of the people.

But every time I dream back at midnight, when I think of those original sins, I still feel unbearable, like a nightmare.

But there are always people who like to rehash the old things and force them to relive those nightmares again and again.

It wasn't until the two-month martial arts expedition that Xing Xun encouraged me with the deeds of the ancients and pointed out the path of life for me, and from then on I was determined to take the Zhou as an example. ”

Speaking of which, Lin Daguan's affectionate self-description ended perfectly!

He pondered, after he was born, he would inevitably be used by others to talk about things, so today he will use Yuan Hongdao to practice it first and see the effect.

This speech refers to the "prodigal son's return" routine, which is most popular among the people of the lighthouse country in later generations.

The suffering of the original family when I was a child, I did something wrong involuntarily, worked hard to improve the small details, was helped and encouraged by well-wishers, and broke through the cage of unfair fate after repentance.

All kinds of classic elements are complete, and splicing together is the most standard American "prodigal son" routine.

Yuan Zhixian's thousand words only turned into heavy four words, and he sighed: "It's commendable." ”

Lin Daguan was secretly happy in his heart, it seems that this "prodigal son" routine can also be effective here in the great writer Yuan Zhixian.

I finally fooled some things in the past, and whoever mentions it again in the future will continue to repeat this set of rhetoric.

If you have the opportunity, you can find a way to ask the great writer Yuan Zhixian to write an essay on the theme of the prodigal son's return to himself, which will be more convenient to wash his name.

Why is Fang Zhongyong so famous, is it not because of Wang Anshi's "Hurt Zhongyong"?

But after Yuan Zhixian finished sighing, he said inexplicably:

"Since I was a child, I have longed for a life of freedom and freedom as a ranger, but I can't do it because of my family.

That's why I've asked you to tell me about the case, just to get a sense of what you are like from you, the kind of young ranger who is reckless and reckless on the edge of the law.

And you talk a lot about your suffering experience and inner analysis. ”

Lin Tailai: "."

I can't see that you Yuan Hongdao is actually such a writer, and deep down in your heart there is still a wildness that yearns for illegal and indiscriminate prohibition.

In the end, Lin Daguan only replied with four words: "The ranger is dead." ”

Yuan Hongdao savored these four words, and felt that Lin Daguan was really a person with depth.

The main thing is to judge Lin Daguan, there is still a little bottom line, and he knows the sense of proportion in his heart.

Just that set of rhetoric, can it be made up by a brainless and reckless man?

In fact, Lin Daguan wanted to say another four words to Yuan Zhixian: "Ye Gong is a good dragon" or "does not eat minced meat".

But for the sake of friendship, I still hid it in my heart.

Yuan Hongdao returned to Governor Wei and replied: "This case happened on the boundary of Wu County, and the suspect is also a citizen of Wu County, so it is inconvenient for the lower officials to accept the trial. ”

If the trial is fair, I am afraid that I will not be able to resist the "prodigal son's return", and if the trial is unfair, and I am sorry for my conscience, I will simply not accept it.

As a well-known writer at home, he still has a bit of confidence.

For the unreasonable work handed in by the above, if you say you refuse, you will refuse.

A gentleman takes revenge, from morning till night! A certain Zaifu prince was still sweeping the face of Governor Wei, and shouted loudly: "It has been said that the royal tax envoy is the most reasonable candidate!" ”
