Chapter 250: The Cheap Widow
Zhu Yijun actually still had some doubts about this case, but he did not continue to ask questions, but waited for the interrogation to begin.
The person in charge of the arraignment is the king of Shuntian Mansion, and Shuntian Mansion Cheng is the fourth product, which is equivalent to the prefect, because the Yin of the Liangjing Mansion is the second product, and the governor of Shuntian has never come forward.
Wang Yiju was shocked, and with the mighty voice of the officials, the plaintiff and the defendant were escorted to the palace, Zhu Yijun frowned and looked at the two parties, he found a strange thing, the woman Xi Shi In addition to Xi and Xi's mother, there was also a man in a Confucian robe, with a dignified appearance and a white face.
"Who's standing next to Xi?" Zhu Yijun asked Wang Chonggu, is it the master he doesn't understand?
"Shaper." Wang Chonggu thought for a long time and said, "It's a stick." ”
"Your Majesty, this master has been coming from a long time and cannot be verified, but as the saying goes, you can't enter the official gate if you are born, and you can't go to hell if you die, for the people, this yamen is like hell, this has no fame, and you will have to suffer thirty boards before you see the official.
"If you have a little wealth, you don't want to be beaten by the board, you don't want to knock the meats and vegetables, you have to find this master, if you are illiterate, you have to find this master."
"Why is it called a complaining stick?" Zhu Yijun asked suspiciously, it is not a rumor that he has not seen an official being punished with 30 boards, but an act of lazy government, and this kind of behavior has been strictly banned at the beginning of the examination law.
The competition between officials and officials is a zero-sum game, one side is damaged, and one party will benefit, because there are so many official positions, and the court strictly prohibits it, and if you want to knowingly commit it, then the court will be beaten.
Wang Chonggu smiled, looked at the master, shook his head and said: "Because it's expensive, it's very expensive, the yamen is open to the south, don't come in if you don't have money, but if you have money, you have to have a place to make it. ”
"How expensive can it be?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously.
"In today's lawsuit, I don't have twenty taels of silver, so I can't invite this master." Wang Chonggu bowed his head and replied.
"Good guy, a soldier in Beijing is only eighteen taels a year, and he will receive twenty taels for this case? Why didn't he grab it? Zhu Yijun heard this and said dumbfounded.
Wang Chonggu shook his head and said: "How can there be more money to be robbed, the minister is the governor in the northwest, there is a thief known as the wolf strong, he was taken by the minister, he can rob ten taels of silver a year, or the ancestor blesses." ”
The northwest has been fighting for 25 years, it is a place where there is a shortage of soldiers and horses, horse bandits rob, big households dare not rob, small households have no oil and water, a bandit can rob more than ten taels a year and burn high incense, like the soldiers of the Beijing camp, do things seriously for the country, and there are eighteen taels of military salary can be taken, but anyone who is a little capable, are rushing to go inside.
This kind of work of bandits, licking blood at the tip of a knife, and this kind of work of a teacher, playing and singing and listening to music.
Zhu Yijun listened to the trial, and after listening, this master is worthy of being a well-spoken person, and he explained the main issues of contention clearly in three or two sentences.
The land deed outside Chaoyang Gate, when Wang Yin Wang Laohan bought it, was less than four taels of silver, and after just five years, it has risen to the point of forty taels, and it is still rising, a total of three acres.
Especially from last year to this year, the rate of increase is really eye-catching.
The main reason is that after the shipping of grain, after the capacity of this river trough was released, the commercial goods on both sides of the canal became more and more frequent, and Wang Laohan's land, just outside Chaoyangmen, was to build a breakfast shop, and he could earn more than 20 taels a year, so it was so popular.
"The old man is good, the Xi family's daughter, and she is not a vicious person, she doesn't ask for Wang Xiasheng's life, she just wants to be able to give this land deed and live a good life, this Xi family also has concerns, their old Wang family, three brothers, when they split the family, it was troublesome, and it was decided before marriage, and they were all cool." Again, the master stated his request, they were asking for money, not for life.
The woman has a teacher, but Wang Xiasheng, who is kneeling on the ground and being chained, does not.
The case file said that Wang Xiasheng was honest and honest, which was not obvious, but he was indeed not good at words, Wang Xiasheng said it for a long time, and he didn't even explain anything.
"The old man Qingtian is on top, and the student Wang Menglin has seen the old man." A clear voice sounded, and two figures rushed in in a hurry, and the two bowed their heads to salute, obviously because they were famous, and they didn't need to salute.
"Who are the two?" King Yiyu of Shuntian Mansion asked suspiciously.
"Longqing's four-year lifter, Wang Menglin is also, he has no success in his studies, he takes the suing stick as his career, and is entrusted by Wang Yinwang's old man to take over Wang Xiasheng's fornication case, which makes the old man laugh." Wang Menglin is dignified, gentle and elegant, and his gestures are very polite and courteous.
Zhu Yijun frowned and asked, "This person is also here to manage this kind of livelihood?" ”
"This is Wang Menglin, the eldest son of the former criminal department Shangshu Wang Zhihe." Wang Chonggu said with a complicated face: "Longqing didn't take the exam for five years, Wanli didn't take the exam for two years, and Wanli didn't pass the exam for five years. ”
Wang Zhihe, the secretary of the Criminal Department, chose Zhishi to fulfill his daughter's marriage, and his son can be regarded as successful in studying, but in the eyes of many ministers in the court, Wang Zhihe just didn't dare to continue to follow and became a deserter.
Monk Wanshi stumbled to the present, but Wang Zhihe left, and from the emperor's point of view, he was very unresponsible.
"The old man doesn't dare to be it, what else do you have to say about this case?" Wang Yihe didn't dare to be Wang Zhihe's husband, Wang Zhihe left the court, his classmates, fellow villagers, fellow friends, and his disciples were still in the court, and Wang Zhihe and Zhang Ju were in-laws, and Wang Yihe didn't dare to slack off.
"Old man, this Xi is not pregnant." Wang Menglin looked at Xi Shi and said sharply.
"Huh? Is this true? Above the court, do not speak. Wang Yiyu frowned, leaned forward and asked.
"It's a shame to say that the students have turned over their manure pits, whether they are pregnant or not, please ask a man to cut the pulse." Although Wang Menglin's words are unknown, this case-handling process may be full of flavor.
When Zhu Yijun heard this, he said to Zhang Hong: "Go to the Jie Yuan and invite the chief medical officer." ”
A servant whispered a few times in Wang Yiyu's ear, and it didn't take long for Li Shizhen and Chen Shigong to enter the Shuntian Mansion from the back door.
"It's true that I'm not pregnant." After Li Shizhen cut the pulse, he said very confidently that he was still very sure that the old Chinese medicine doctor for many years had a happy pulse or not.
After Li Shizhen came to the back hall and exchanged opinions with Chen Shigong, the two came to the emperor and said with great certainty: "This Xi girl, I drank too much cold medicine, I'm afraid it is impossible to get pregnant." ”
Li Shizhen and Chen Shigong have practiced medicine for many years, and this Xi woman has drunk a lot of cold medicine before, and I am afraid it will be difficult to get pregnant.
"This cold medicine is alum, if you use it too much, your pulse will be damaged, and your veins will be lost, causing her to be infertile. Li Shizhen said with a little hesitation: "Most of these cold medicines are used in this Qinglou, why does this Xi girl take such a fierce medicine at such an age?" ”
Zhu Yijun nodded, Li Shizhen and Chen Shigong are very professional in the medical field, and even Zhang Siwei, who drank arsenic, can be saved, and Zhu Yijun is ready to send another batch of materials to the hospital to promote medical progress.
In front of the hall, after Li Shizhen and Chen Shigong made a judgment, Fu Cheng looked at the slightly bulging belly of the Xi woman and asked, "It turns out that I am not pregnant." ”
The Xi girl only grabbed her mother's hand and looked at her master with hopeful eyes.
Wang Menglin looked at the Xi daughter and Xi's mother with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and then said: "Old man, this Xi girl, has been married more than once, as far as the students know, she has been married like this three times, and the first few times, she was allowed to succeed, and when she met Wang Laohan, a donkey, she refused to respond to it alive or dead, so she didn't cheat." ”
"They are habitual offenders, specializing in cheating marriages, and they should not be called mothers, but mothers."
"Old man Rong Yu, these two people, the old one is the old bustard in Yanxing Building, the younger one is a prostitute under the old bustard, the students have evidence and material evidence to submit, and the old man is also invited to learn clearly."
As soon as Wang Menglin's words came out, it was like exploding a pot, everyone was talking, looking at the two women, they couldn't help but take a step back, this kind of plot of picking up the plate man, for the Ming Dynasty, the impact is still too great.
"You don't have much blood and spew, where did you come from, talking nonsense here, you are a prostitute, your whole family is a prostitute!" Xi's mother directly began to scold.
"Silence!" Wang Yiju slapped the shocked wood and said sharply: "Roar the court again, the rod will be punished for thirty, and the witnesses will be summoned!" ”
Wang Menglin's evidence is indeed a lot, and the evidence of people and materials is ironclad.
Wang Yihe was stunned, this case has come to this point, the facts are already very clear, no matter how heinous Wang Xiasheng is, he will not die of a crime, because prostitutes are cheap.
Wang Xiasheng was still stunned, the situation turned sharply, his face was full of confusion, he thought that he was going to die, but the other party was a cheater to get money.
"Take it!" Wang Yiyu was shocked and took down the so-called Xi's mother and daughter, as well as the teacher.
"Your Majesty, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, those who deceive officials and take property for private purposes will be treated as theft, this case must continue to be investigated, and there is no result today, but Wang Xiasheng, you can go back today, if it is verified, this Xi mother and daughter will probably be beheaded to show the public." Wang Chonggu explained why he wanted to take them down together.
According to the Daming Law and Fraud Regulations, this Xi mother and daughter will most likely be beheaded for public display.
"Do you want to cut off your head?" Zhu Yijun raised his eyebrows, this case was exposed, naturally it was very happy, but this fraud should be beheaded?
Wang Chonggu explained: "Well, in the seventh year of Hongzhi, there was a traitor Sun Tengxiao, who bought beggars, deceived with human lives, committed 12 crimes, Emperor Xiaozong decreed, this fang thought that the goods were cultivated, and the treacherous was rampant, and the crime was difficult to lend. The one who is the leader is executed by Ling Chi; For the servant, he beheaded and showed the public, and he was still known in the world. ”
"If you commit more than three crimes, you must be punished severely, if this master and these two women are in a group, this is a group of three, and the punishment will be increased."
"The sentence is no punishment."
If it's just this one, forget it, if it's two, the most that cheats money is a stream, but if you do it three times, you have to die, it's the same as three people in a crowd, and the sentencing is stipulated in terms of the number of people and the number of times.
The Daming Huidian has not yet compiled the name of the punishment, but according to the "Daming Law and Punishment Regulations" in the Jiajing period, it is to behead the public.
"So." Zhu Yijun did not give further instructions, he was willing to lose the gamble, since he chose to report to the official to deal with it, Wang Xiasheng could die, and he could naturally die if he cheated on marriage.
The death penalty has to be repeated three times, that is, a total of three times to make up, today is the sentence of Wang Xia's life and death, and the Shuntian Mansion Yamen will also begin to check and make up, the death penalty must be approved by the emperor Zhu, once there is a careless life, it will damage not only the reputation of the official, but also the prestige of the court and the reputation of the emperor.
"Go and invite Wang Menglin." Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Hong to invite Wang Menglin in.
"Students meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." As soon as Wang Menglin entered the door, he saw the eunuch with no beard on his face, and when he saw Wang Chonggu, he immediately knew what the identity of the person in front of him was.
Moreover, Wang Menglin has seen Feng Bao, when Wang Zhihe left the dynasty, Wang Menglin saw it, and when the minister left the dynasty, the emperor would send someone to see him off.
"Excuse me, how is your father?" Zhu Yijun asked about Wang Zhihe's recent situation.
Wang Menglin hurriedly replied: "Thanks to God's grace, my father is in good health. ”
"Well, that's good." Zhu Yijun stood up, looked at Wang Menglin and asked, "How much money did you charge for this case?" ”
"One hundred texts." Wang Menglin hurriedly said: "The minister's family is still acceptable, and he only wants to be familiar with the name of the crime. ”
"Well, good, keep it up." Zhu Yijun was slightly surprised when he heard the hundred articles, and then heard his purpose, and kept nodding and saying.
The Ming court and Wang Zhihe also broke up peacefully back then, and Zhu Yijun didn't plan to embarrass Wang Zhihe's son, after all, compared to other ministers who made a lot of trouble in the city, Wang Zhihe left the court quietly.
The reason why Zhu Yijun called Wang Menglin to meet him is actually to protect him, as a teacher, he should not be a lawyer, but he should be a righteous person, this will become dangerous, the emperor has seen it, then Wang Menglin really has an accident, and the emperor naturally wants to ask for an explanation.
Zhu Yijun left the Shuntian Mansion, and the final sentence was a little different from Wang Chonggu's judgment.
"The second assistant stays, in fact, the problem that the second assistant is worried about is not a problem, Sun Keyi's big ship is about to arrive in port." Zhu Yijun motioned for everyone to stay, no need to send it, and explained Wang Chonggu's worries by the way.
Men should get married and women should get married, these days, they should get married, but men don't get married, and many of them are because they are poor.
The arrival of a large ship full of widows in the port, in absolute quantity, does not play a fundamental role in the imbalance of the marriage of the Ming Dynasty, but can also play the role of catfish.
As for the population.
The population of the Ming Dynasty, under the premise of the current productivity, has been saturated.
A king who has no emotion and only reason, looks at this issue of marriage and funeral, in fact, it is the upper limit of the current land population, and if you want to raise the upper limit, it is not just the fairness and justice of a case, but to increase the arable land, increase the water conservancy facilities, find ways to produce fertilizers, increase the yield of food crops, and most importantly, distribute the benefits to the poor coolies.
This is what Zhu Yijun is most concerned about.
He came to Shuntianfu to see this case, not out of reason, but out of emotion, because Zhu Yijun himself was about to get married.
Zhu Yijun is very glad that although his marriage was arranged by the Queen Mother, this kind of disgusting thing will definitely not happen to him.
"Second assistant, can this hundred articles hire the son of the former criminal department Shangshu Wang Zhihe to do justice?" Zhu Yijun asked with some curiosity.
"Wang Menglin handled the case, and he also saw people put dishes on the plate, this Wang Laohan obviously didn't have so much money, so many people watched this case, Wang Menglin won these small lawsuits, those big lawsuits, didn't they come one after another?" Wang Chonggu said very sincerely.
"Well, what the second assistant said is reasonable, I have returned, you don't need to send it." Zhu Yijun got on the big ride and went back to the palace.
This case still needs to be investigated, and it is necessary to find out how many people were killed by the pig killing plate.
The next day, a Tang newspaper from Songjiang Prefecture City Bo Si took a hydrofoil spacecraft to Tianjin Wei Wharf, and then the post guard sent the Tang newspaper to the Beijing Division, and after joining the Yamen of the Ministry of War, it was sent to the case of the Ming Emperor.
The content of the Tang newspaper is only one thing, the woe.
Zhejiang's Zhoushan Dinghai Dao, Jiushan, Yushan and other foreign Japanese pirates approached, and were repelled by Liu Hui, deputy envoy of Dinghai Dao, Zhou Liangbin, prefect of Ningbo, and other troops, beheading more than 73 people, across a Hangzhou Bay, Daming Songjiang Town Naval Division heard the news and dispatched, united with Zhejiang Naval Division, exterminated the Japanese Invaders near Dongji Island, sank a total of 23 Japanese ships, and the casualties were not counted.
"Da Sima, the fifth-class merit proposed by Hou Yuzhao back then is really necessary, just like this time Chen Lan used rockets, firearms, and artillery to destroy the Japanese fleet, and the ship was destroyed and people died. Zhu Yijun held the Tang newspaper with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty is clear." Tan Lun bowed his head and said.
After Tan Lun received the Tang report, he was announced by His Majesty to enter the palace, accompanied by Shoufu Lu Tiaoyang, Zhu Yijun did not call Wang Chonggu to come, but Wang Chonggu was not in the Jingshi City, but went to the Yongding woolen factory.
Because of the existence of the first-level work, the past battles of the Ming Dynasty were mainly based on boarding and receiving the ship, and now, the first-level has become a merit, and the means of killing and destroying have become rockets, guns and artillery, among which the most powerful is not firearms, but rockets.
"Your Majesty, this group of Japanese invaders, from the Ryukyus, in April, the Ming Dynasty canonized the king of the Ryukyus, deterring the Japanese invaders, not only did the Japanese invaders fear, but intensified, and even wanted to raid Zhoushan, if it were not for the defense police, I am afraid that something big would happen." Tan Lun said with a smile.
If this group of pirates landed and caused serious damage, then the Ming Dynasty's fledgling development of the sea would become a joke.
People can't help but wonder, what did Daming invigorate the water master? And now, the great victory in the Battle of Zhoushan proves that opening the sea is really useful.
"Some courtiers can't help but worry, and they say that they are taking credit." Zhu Yijun leaned back in the chair and said helplessly.
"Ugh." Tan Lun sighed, and the atmosphere was a little cold for a while.
In the naval battle of Dongji Island, Daming Daily defeated 23 ships of the enemy, how to prove that it was not the Zhejiang Naval Division and the Nanya Naval Division that were fabricating and falsifying military merits? The ship is sinking, is it possible to go to the sea to get a prison? Zhejiang has a bad situation, regardless of the crime, the coastal defense inspection failed to hear in advance, and it is actually rewarded, what is the reason?
This is all a possible situation, and in general, it seems to make sense for a lowly man to chew his tongue, but in fact he doesn't take into account any actual situation at all.
Feng Bao hurriedly walked in from outside, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, there is another Tang report to Wenyuan Pavilion." ”
"Captive? Really. Zhu Yijun took the Tang newspaper and read it for a long time.
The second Tang newspaper is extraordinarily detailed, mainly mentioning that Daming captured twelve prisoners, all of whom were Japanese prisoners, eight of whom were unfavorable to the war, and on the eve of the ship being burned, they jumped on a small raft and escaped and were captured, and four were fished out of the sea by Daming sailors.
The reason why these prisoners were fished out was entirely to respond to the inquiries of the DPRK and China.
Zhu Yijun couldn't help but think of Ning Yuanbo Li Chengliang when he caught the rebel chief Wang Gao, he was accidentally injured, Wang Gao was exhausted, but the fierce general Li Chengliang was injured, Qi Jiguang explained, saying that it was Li Chengliang's careful thinking.
The generals of the Ming Dynasty have long been clear about the faces of the courtiers who stand and talk without backache, so they have prepared in advance, and the human evidence, documentary evidence, and physical evidence are all there.
The Ming army is the governor, the general soldier, the admiral minister, the civil and military eunuchs control each other, so the truth of the war report, you only need to check the civil and military eunuchs of the three parties, such as the Dongji Island naval battle, there are military generals Chen Lan, Dinghaidao deputy envoy Liu Xuan, etc., the civil officials have Ningbo prefect Zhou Liangbin, and the eunuchs have Songjiang Town Governor Eunuch Zhang Cheng, the civil and military eunuchs have different rights and responsibilities, which is a good state of mutual balance.
The eunuch army has been in the Hongwu Dynasty since the Hongwu Dynasty, it is not uncommon, and there are many eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty who have military talents such as Zheng He, Liu Yongcheng, and Wang Zhi, but most of the eunuchs are people who are emperors and play a supervisory role.
But in the second year of orthodoxy, after Wang Ji was good at killing military generals, the status of military generals began to decline rapidly to the level of slaves that Zhang Juzheng said.
"After interrogating these prisoners, send them directly to the prison." Zhu Yijun Zhu approved the Tang newspaper, which was much easier.
"But this wolf is really a wolf ambition, not only does it not surrender, but it also wants to attack my Ming Dynasty, the Japanese have a species, and the widow admires it!" Zhu Yijun's tone became cold.
"The reason why the Japanese state despises the Central Plains is that it hangs alone, grows up at sea, and operates ships for a long time, and the Ming Dynasty has never been able to attack, but can only passively defend, so the trouble is so difficult to control." Tan Lun said about it with emotion.
Why is the widow so bold, in fact, in the final analysis, Daming's father can't beat him, so he is so unscrupulous.
But as long as there is a road that can lead to the Wa Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom will not dare to be so horizontal.
The Waiko and the Beikou are a bit similar, both occupy the advantage of geographical advantages, the Beikou are good at riding the machine and the power is strong, and the Waiko is good at manipulating the boat, when the Ming Dynasty is strong, the Beikou can escape thousands of miles, the enemy can not be found on the vast grassland, the Wako can operate the boat to escape, the vast sea, the Ming can not find where the Wakou are.
The sea is bigger than the grassland.
So, defense is like that, watch out, but get beaten everywhere.
Relying on the lonely overseas, the expedition of the Ming laborers was thankless, and they kept making cheap mistakes, which is the typical characteristic of the Japanese invaders.
France, Germany, Spain, must agree with this point of view, because the damned British and the Wokos cannot be said to be very similar, they are almost identical.
"Xu Wei sent a letter from Nagasaki." Zhu Yijun took out a letter from his sleeve, Xu Wei wrote a second letter into the court, the content of which is one thing, Oda Nobunaga seeks the canonization of the Ming court, if the Ming court is willing to canonize Oda Nobunaga as the king of the Japanese country, then Oda Nobunaga can bow down and be a vassal, in addition, Oda Nobunaga also hopes to be able to trade.
The shogun of the Muromachi shogunate was canonized by Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty, and Oda Nobunaga expelled the Muromachi shogunate, so Oda Nobunaga has been seeking that the Ming can be canonized.
Altan Khan was crowned as a king, and the Tuman Khan called for the king every day, and now even Oda Nobunaga has come to join in the excitement of this king.
In the fifth year of Wanli, the Ming Siyi did not have any psychological burden on the matter of calling Daming their father, and even rushed to it, because the canonization of Daming represented the legitimacy of their local rule.
In fact, it is very easy to understand, to paraphrase a sentence, that is, the cloth drifts for half a life, if you do not meet the lord and the public, you are willing to worship your father-in-law and live in heaven and earth, how can you live under the people for a long time, this kind of behavior called dad is just an expedient measure.
Obviously, Xu Wei, Sun Keyi, Ma Jin and the sailor went to Nagasaki and gained a firm foothold, which made Oda Nobunaga a little jealous.
"The minister feels that he can't agree, if he agrees easily, won't Daming become treacherous?" Tan Lun made his attitude very clear and couldn't agree.
Because the Ming Dynasty has canonized the Muromachi Shogunate, the Muromachi Shogunate was expelled, and before it died, the Ming Dynasty directly denied this canonization, and canonized others, which is treachery.
Zhu Yijun said very approvingly: "I think so too, and Wen Chang also thinks so. ”
Xu Wei is long, during the Three Kingdoms, Wei Yan was also long, Xu Wei did not have an official and a half-position in the imperial court, so he could only be called so.
"Xu Wenchang, in the days of Nagasaki, I didn't spend all my days drinking and looking for prostitutes everywhere to play, but I found someone from the Muromachi shogunate, Minamoto Yoshiaki, that is, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, this Ashikaga Yoshiaki asked to send an envoy to Ming to present his feelings." Zhu Yijun talked about what Xu Wei did in Nagasaki.
Xu Wei found the last shogun of the Muromachi shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki's Shogun was used until the sixteenth year of Wanli, and it was not until the twenty-sixth year of Wanli that the Ming Dynasty canonized Toyotomi Hideyoshi as the king of the Wa Kingdom, and the Muromachi shogunate was completely destroyed.
Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki was exiled, the nominal king of the Wa Kingdom was still Ashikaga Yoshiaki, because of the canonization of the Ming Dynasty.
Oda Nobunaga wanted to exchange Nagasaki for a canonization.
"What else can Ashikaga Yoshiaki give?" Tan Lun asked with a frown.
If you want to get the support of the Ming Dynasty, you have to exchange real money.
Asking for a monthly pass, woo!!!!!
