Chapter 42: The So-Called Justice
The two eventually met under the backyard wall of Jingzhao Mansion. Yan Tian looked at the face of Lord Qin's black clouds pressing down on the city, and was quite worried that the city would be destroyed.
She smiled at him weakly: "My father is the most hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, especially for outsiders. With Brother Qin in town, I don't think my father can do anything about him. What are you...... Angry? Don't, don't look at me like that! How do I feel like I'm being reborn in black and white......"
"How dare I accept your old soul?!" Qin Zhuen didn't smile while tearing off the errand clothes on his body, "Little one, I almost expected you to come and give me a beautiful funeral!" ”
"Bah, bah, bah...... What bad luck! Yan Tian hurriedly took two sips on the ground seriously, "Brother Qin is blessed with a great life, a long life, and a thousand generations ......."
"Gotcha! I am hungry! Qin Zhuen raised his hand to stop Yan Tian's sycophancy, turned around and left, "If you really have a troubled conscience, invite me to eat a bowl of noodles." ”
"How can you just have a bowl of noodles?" Yan Tian hurriedly followed, "Speaking of which, the little sister who came to this good restaurant in the capital hasn't visited yet." Brother Qin thinks where is the appetite, today the little sister sits in the east. ”
Aunt Hu originally said that she would stew Buddha and jump over the wall at noon today. Alas, it seems that she can only wait until the evening to go to the Buddha who jumped over the wall again, and now she will send away this black-faced god first.
Yan Tian muttered in his heart, mourning that he couldn't eat the food in his mouth, and he didn't see the Qin Zhuen who was walking in front raising the corners of his mouth, and his treacherous face succeeded.
This girl is used to unloading and killing donkeys, no, cross the river and tear down the bridge! If she hadn't left herself uneasy, she would have left at this moment, waving her hand and throwing him away as a rag.
In the scene just now, I was accompanied by a beautiful woman, and this wave is not a loss!
……
When Yan Tian saw the delicacies served by the guys in Tongcui Building, she felt that this wave was not a loss!
"Lord, the dishes are all ready. You and this master use it slowly. The small one is guarding the door, and you call the small one if there is something. The chief man of Tongcui Building finished serving, slapped a thousand children with a smile on his face, and withdrew respectfully.
Yan Tian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows while biting on the charcoal-grilled lamb chops. Sure enough, the status of the emperor's relatives is precious, and Qin Zhuen seems to be able to eat well everywhere.
As soon as he entered Tongcui Building, the big guys here immediately put down all the work in their hands and ran over like a gust of wind to say goodbye. He led them all the way upstairs to this private room that seemed to have been specially prepared for Lord Qin. The dishes that came up were really ...... Tut-tut......
Yan Tian was eating happily while secretly pinching his purse. There is no need to worry too much about the food money, her own father will bring money to ransom her no matter what. just hopes that with her excellent eight characters, she can resist her father's new and old hatred when she goes home......
Hey, the food is current, and I don't want to think about anything else.
Yan Tian threw everything away here, devoted himself to cooking, eating with a smile on his face, his cheeks bulging, like a hungry cat.
Qin Zhuen's side didn't move his chopsticks, but took a cup of tea and looked at Yan Tian who was eating with relish.
Compared with the ladies in Beijing who smile and don't speak, don't lift their lips, act and sit and lie down in accordance with the rules, a girl like Yan Tian is really vivid, interesting and commendable.
"You talk about you, I really don't understand." Yan Tian was eating so much that he couldn't get away with it, and Qin Zhuen's laughing voice came from Leng Buding's head, "I tossed myself in such a big circle, and I had a good meal of Third Uncle Yan's tiger whiskers, but I really didn't see any impact these could have on Fang Yuting's case." ”
Speaking of this, Qin Zhuen couldn't help but sigh: "Fang Yuting's matter couldn't be clearer. The subordinates of Manfu saw it with their own eyes, and he himself admitted it. Although it wasn't the government that caught him red-handed, it was pretty much the same. No matter what outsiders say, 'The father is not punished and punished, and the son can take revenge', even the "Great Qi Law" stipulates that killing people to avenge their father will not be investigated. But after all, he killed not an irrelevant bystander, but his mother. 'The son can take revenge', but the son killing the mother is inescapable! He...... I can't escape death......"
Speaking of this, Qin Zhuen lowered his eyes. Although the two have never dealt with each other well, they can be regarded as playmates since childhood, that is, they have no kinship, but acquaintances should always be counted.
"I'm tossing this circle, it's naturally useful." Yan Tian put down his chopsticks, and when he spoke, he was a little solemn, "My little sister has been stubborn since she was a child, and she only feels bored with needlework women, and she likes to study the law. Looking at the strange cases and biography of ancient and modern times, I found that both ancient and modern, there is a big drawback in the adjudicators. ”
"Oh? What are the drawbacks? Qin Zhuen couldn't help but be solemn.
That is, no matter how big or small the case is, the presiding officer of the case only focuses on the result but not the process, and only looks at the facts but does not care how the facts are obtained. This has led to the creation of a large number of unjust prisons.
"In order to obtain the factual results, the officials and even the chief officer himself used all kinds of torture methods to make the suspect unable to survive and die. In the end, there may be confessions, but there are also those who are tortured but tortured into confessions.
Every time my little sister sees such a record, she will have an obsession. The so-called justice of the world should not only be directed against the victims, but also for those suspects who do not know whether they have been wronged or not.
"I have asked for criminal cases to 'prevent things and make them work', which is in line with my little sister's obsession. Before the case is decided, everything that should be done is done in accordance with the system, and the inquest, witness testimony, detailed review of the file, and detailed examination of the suspect are conducted...... Exhaustively detailed, and finally deducing the factual results, rather than extorting confessions through torture, is the fairness to the suspect and justice to the world.
"Speaking of which, it makes Brother Qin laugh. The little sister is a woman, weak and soft-spoken, but she is always so whimsical. It's that I know that I can't change anything, but I can't suppress some wishful thinking. I always want to make this world full of clear blue sky, and there is no complaint and no way to complain! ”
"Good!" Before Yan Tian's words fell, Qin Zhuen suddenly got up, struck the knots and admired, and suddenly realized that he was out of shape, and sat down busily, but his face was full of agitation, "Although she was born a woman, Yan Tian is not inferior to a man!" No! It is to be more ambitious, more far-sighted, and more sober than most of the bearded things in this world! He looked at Yan Tian who was so high-spirited, and his heart suddenly beat wildly uncontrollably.
Yan Tian looked at Qin Zhuen, who was so excited and excited, and suddenly became embarrassed. She never told anyone else these shocking words, because no one would understand her, and most of them would think of her as a crazy person who did not keep her duty. Even her father, she knew that she wouldn't agree with it completely.
But today, he confided in Qin Zhuen without any defense, saying his ambitions and infatuations. Could it be that getting along with Luozhou made her unguard against him? Or did she know from the beginning that he and she were actually the same person? The same uninhibited, the same contempt for the world, the same little infatuation......
The two were silent for a while, and the strange atmosphere spread unconsciously. Yan Tian's cheeks burned for some reason, especially like fire.
But Qin Zhuen felt that there was a big drum beating in his heart that was earth-shattering, almost wanting to shake up the full house of diners. He couldn't help but cough dryly:
"Ahem...... Well, you, you're doing a great job......" As soon as the words came out, this two hundred and five immediately slapped himself in his heart, and then he was busy and had nothing to say, "Although the crime committed by Fang Yuting is against human ethics and heinous, and he has a stinky face all day long, he really hates it." Can...... He's a man...... Alas, it's still a pity......"
"Pity? Why? Yan Tian looked at Qin Zhuen.
"You didn't grow up in the capital since you were a child, and you don't know the story of the various prefectures in the capital." Qin Zhuen shook his head, and also took the opportunity to throw off the messy thoughts in his mind to Java, "Although the population of the Pingguo Mansion is simple, there are no concubines or concubines who are demons, but they are two concubines, one eldest and one young. But their family's family affairs are not clear.
"Fang Yong, the prince of Pingguo, who was stabbed to death by the Lu family, although he loves his younger son, he also really loves his eldest son. But the Duchess of Pingguo, the Lu family, is different, the eldest son is very biased. Anyone in Jingzhong who knows some details says that Lu's heart is born under the right armpit, and it has been biased to the limit.
"Let's take Fang Yuting's going to serve in the army as an example, in this peaceful year, in addition to preventing the invasion of the northwest Uighurs and occasionally using soldiers, who doesn't know that the imperial court values literature and light military force? Regardless of whether the children of the Jingzhong clan are motivated or not, isn't the family riveting enough to let them take the road of studying and taking scientific examinations?
"The Guy family knows a truth, although it is said that it is to learn literature and martial arts and sell goods to the emperor's family, but now as long as the children are slightly motivated, it will be easier for Xi Wen to get ahead in the future, and the career will be a hundred times smoother. Coupled with the support of the family, then this splendid future is a proper bag.
"But if a good son goes to practice martial arts, then let's not talk about whether the pampered sons can eat the hardships of the wind and sun, pressing the legs and pulling the bow, and climbing the horse in the middle of the night to practice. In terms of this future, if you want to get ahead, you can only go to the border, especially in the northwest.
"But there are poor mountains and bad waters, wind and sand raging, how can there be wealth and prosperity in Beijing? is also a sword and gun without eyes, nine deaths and a life. In the big family, unless the concubine who is extremely unfavored and wants to get ahead, who will be willing to let his son suffer that hardship and take that risk?! Especially the very expensive sister-in-law!
"But Fang Yuting, as a younger son who should have been more pampered, gave up studying literature and martial arts at the age of twelve, and entered the military camp at the age of fifteen...... Joined the army as a teenager and left home to enlist...... That suffering is by no means something that an ordinary half-grown teenager can resist. But he resisted.
"If it is said that he is lacking in his studies and talented, so he changed his studies to martial arts, it makes sense. But when I was a child, I went to the imperial study with him, and His Majesty's examination school never stumped him. Even the emperor praised him for his good studies, and he was the top among children of the same age, and he valued him very much.
"However, it is such a promising good seedling, who suddenly and inexplicably abandoned literature and martial arts and took the road of martial arts......"
"If it weren't for some big change, I would have experienced it overnight, and my temperament would have changed greatly. Then it must be full of grievances, and he has to do it, such as giving up his good future to his brother......" Yan Tian opened his mouth and continued.
Then she narrowed her eyes and touched her chin in thought. didn't notice that the person on the other side suddenly changed his face when he heard her sentence "Thoroughly understood overnight, and his temperament changed greatly".
Qin Zhuen lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea in disguise. Speaking of which, he can be regarded as abandoning literature and martial arts, but he can't even learn this martial arts too well......
"After Fang Yuting abandoned the text and followed the martial arts, what did the queen mother and the emperor say?" Yan Tian asked.
"No comment."
"How is that possible?" Yan Tian was very surprised, "Since he is the nephew of the Queen Mother, and he is valued by the emperor, then I think the two of them must be cultivating him as a person who will be used by the court in the future." How did such a big change come about, and the two Venerables didn't say a word? ”
"Huh!" Lord Qin smiled sarcastically, "Those things in Fang Yuting's scriptures don't have much to say.
"I heard that when he was two years old, his nursing mother was not dedicated enough, and she didn't know what to feed him, so that she vomited and diarrhea, and the suspense was gone. Thanks to the queen mother's timely knowledge, she killed the nurse with a cane, and carried him back to the palace to raise him, so that a small life was saved.
"Uh...... These...... It's also because I'm growing up, for ...... Cough...... In order to find out some of the boy's shortcomings, I inquired about ......"
Yan Tian: "......"
It is said that there was a lot of trouble in the Pingguo Mansion that time, and many people were sold, but in the end it slowly calmed down.
"When I think about it now, I always feel that it is not that simple. For example, Fang Yuting had an illness on his front foot, how did the Queen Mother personally lead people to Fang's house to save people on her back foot? This shows that the Fang family must have the Queen Mother's eyeliner, and this eyeliner is to stare at Fang Yuting. Then why is the Queen Mother so ......?"
"Because...... The Queen Mother knew that someone was trying to harm the young Fang Yuting, but she couldn't touch this person. Yan Tian looked at Qin Zhuen.
Looking at each other, Qin Zhuen raised his lips slightly, and the two of them understood.
