Chapter 16 The Second Generation of Authentic Officials

Li Qingzhao's words startled Bai Sheng. This is the county magistrate! You dare not kneel? You dare to confront each other in front of you? Bai Sheng was suddenly messy.

While Li Qingzhao questioned the county official, the hand that held Bai Sheng was also exerting force, but the direction of strength was the opposite of Yan Poxi's, which was the intention of making Bai Sheng not need to kneel.

At this moment, Bai Sheng is not the only one in the court who is messy, almost everyone is confused, what kind of character is this woman with a fat face? How dare you contradict the county magistrate like this, is this a death?

Even Shi Wenbin, the magistrate of the county, himself is messy, he has been in charge of Yuncheng for more than five years, and he has never seen such a person under his rule. However, he was still relatively calm, because just listening to this woman's tone, he knew that she was not an ordinary person, because he found that this woman was not only sharp-tongued, but also full of confidence.

Shi Wenbin was calm, but Zhu Tong and Lei Heng couldn't hold their breath, the two of them, as the head of the horse army and the head of the infantry, equivalent to the commander of the armed police company and the captain of the criminal police in later generations, how could they allow Diao Min to question the secretary of the county party committee like this? So they shouted at the same time: "Bold!"

"Huh?" Shi Wenbin waved his hand, stopped Zhu Tongleiheng's follow-up movements, looked at Li Qingzhao and asked, "Who are you?" You might as well make it clear, this official wants to hear what qualifications you have not to kneel. ”

Li Qingzhao said: "You listen to me, my husband is Zhao Mingcheng, the son of the former prime minister, is this qualification enough?"

Shi Wenbin was shocked when he heard this, and immediately stood up, this is the daughter-in-law of a senior member of the DPRK and Central Committee, who is Zhao Mingcheng's father? Others don't know, how can he not know as an official? That is the former right minister Zhao Tingzhi! His daughter-in-law, how can she afford to be a county official?

And he also knows this Zhao Mingcheng, who is also an official person, recently interacted with his former classmates who were on the same way, I heard that Zhao Mingcheng is about to go to Laizhou Zhizhou, Zhizhou's wife, how can he afford to be a Zhixian County?

In surprise, the woman in the audience spoke again: "If you think this is not enough, then I can also tell my other identity, my surname is Li, my name is Qingzhao, my father is Li Gefei, a member of the Ministry of Rites, I kneel for you with this identity, do you dare to bear it?"

Shi Wenbin's hair stood up from the shock, and he was still a little hesitant, suspecting that this woman was pretending to be an official's relative, but after he heard Li Gefei's name, his doubts were all gone, and he confirmed Li Qingzhao's identity, hurriedly walked out from behind the table, and saluted: "The lower official has no eyes, and I hope Mrs. Zhao will forgive me." ”

In this era, communication is extremely backward, there is no television broadcasting and the Internet, except for Bao Zheng, who can spread his good name among the people, ordinary people can only know who the emperor is at most, who their parents and officials are in their hometown, and in addition, it is impossible to know the names and in-laws of other officials in the dynasty. Therefore, Shi Wenbin can determine that Li Qingzhao's identity is real on the spot, and there is no need to suspect that she is swaggering.

Bai Sheng was also stunned, listening to this meaning, Li Qingzhao himself is the second generation of authentic officials, and he is the second generation of Beijing officials, this identity is awesome! I had known this, why did I worry about escorting her into Beijing? I really don't know what Li Qingzhao thinks, just let the local government send troops to protect her across the water and Liangshan? With the skills of Lei Heng and Zhu Tong, how can Du Qian, Song Wan, and Zhu Gui under Wang Lun match her? Isn't this!

He didn't know that under the constraints of the laws of the Song Dynasty, most of the relatives of officials were extremely self-disciplined, although it was not for nothing that there were people and things that used power for personal gain, such as Gao Yanei, Gao Yu's adopted son, but Li Qingzhao was not among them, if it was not for the safety of Bai Sheng at this time, Li Qingzhao would not have revealed his identity and inventory.

Shi Wenbin immediately ordered someone to move out of the chair and show Li Qingzhao and the other three people, Yan Po regretted that there was no need to kneel, since the three of them were together, even if the case was tried, they had to be allowed to sit and be tried, regardless of the content of the plaintiff's complaint.

After they all sat down, Shi Wenbin sorted out his panic and asked who the plaintiff was, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng were already confused, but they didn't expect that there would be such a powerful character among the three people who were arrested, so they immediately had to step forward and state the outline of the case.

The form of this case is equivalent to the public prosecution of later generations, although there is a definite plaintiff Song Jiang, but Song Jiang is still lying at home at the moment, and Zhu Tong was called by his neighbor.

After listening to the case, Shi Wenbin was silent, he had the intention to open the net and release Bai Sheng in court, but he was afraid that his subordinates would be resentful because of this, after all, Bai Sheng committed two crimes, one is **, and the other is beating the officials of the dynasty, then Song Jiang's power in Yuncheng County is deep-rooted, and the entire county government has a close relationship with him.

After hesitating, Li Qingzhao had already begun to defend Bai Sheng: "Lord Shi, please don't listen to the words of the plaintiff and believe in the side of the plaintiff......" (Author's note: Some people may say that the word "adult" was only used in the Qing Dynasty, but the author believes that since there is a statement of Bao Zhengbao in the TV series, why not follow this book? )

Li Qingzhao pointed out three doubts in his defense statement:

The first point is about the certification of ** crimes, from ancient times to the present, there is a saying called "catch thieves and stolen goods, catch rape in bed", and Bai Sheng and Yan Poxi were not "caught and raped in bed", just Song Jiang saw that the two people were untidy, which is not enough to confirm that they have ** behavior.

The second point is that Song Jiang and Yan Poxi do not have the form of marriage that the Ming media are marrying, Yan Poxi is just a woman raised by Song Jiang, and there is no marriage ceremony, in modern terms, it is illegal cohabitation. Since Yan Poxi is not Song Jiang's wife, even if she has a relationship with Bai Sheng, it does not constitute a ** crime.

The third point is about Bai Sheng's crime of injuring Song Jiang, it was Song Jiang who did it first, and Bai Sheng was in defense, especially when Song Jiang took a knife to kill someone, Bai Sheng's counterattack with his fists and feet was a defensive act, which was to protect his life from harm, how could he be convicted?

After listening to Li Qingzhao's defense, Shi Wenbin had to admit that Li Qingzhao was very reasonable, and announced in court that Bai Sheng and Yan Poxi were not guilty and were about to be released, but Li Qingzhao filed a counterclaim, because Song Jiang beat Yan Poxi's mother to death, and his life was at stake, how could he let it go?

After hearing this, Shi Wenbin scolded Zhu Tong and Lei Heng fiercely, saying that Song Jiang, as a public official, was a big mistake to know the law and break the law, shouldn't you Zhu Lei also cover up each other and be traitors?

The final verdict was made at the moment, Bai Sheng Yan Po regretted to release him on the spot, and Song Jiang assassinated Jiangzhou, and only waited for him to recover from his injuries before executing exile. In addition, Shi Wenbin also took out 20 taels of silver from public funds to give Yan Poxi, and entrusted Bai Sheng to hold a rather grand funeral for Yan Poxi's mother.
