Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 184 Gate Valve, Gate Valve!

In the county government office, Wei Zheng was sitting there with a livid face. If this matter is not handled well, it might cause some trouble... After all, Hebei is initially determined.

Zhang Xuansu is famous for loving the people like a son. When Dou Jiande wanted to kill him, thousands of people were willing to die on his behalf. Seeing this tragedy today, he was furious and angrily reprimanded Cui Hao...the latter had to raise his sleeves to cover it, but even so , his face was also wet.

"Brother Xuancheng, Brother Xuansu." Cui Xin gave a long bow in shame, "I will take responsibility for the future..."

"Responsible for it?" Zhang Xuansu was furious, "How much money should I pay? Or send a coffin?!"

Cui Hao took a few steps back before opening his mouth and said, "His husband was a thief, and he devoted himself to survival just now. Now that Fang Silang has returned to his hometown, he is ashamed and committed suicide...It cannot be redeemed by human power."

Zhang Xuansu was about to clenched his fists and punched someone. Is this speaking human words?
Cui Qian, ordered by Qinghe, came forward to persuade him: "Grand Xuansu, yesterday he entered the village at dusk, and the sixteenth brother promised to send him back to the city today, but only found out this morning..."

In the middle of speaking, Cui Qian stopped talking, and his eyes fell on Li Shan who was slowly walking out from the back hall.

The young man's face was cold, with a smirk between his eyebrows, his eyes were narrowed, his eyes swept across the hall, and he suddenly sneered, "Brother Cui, as Qinghe Order, must know how to protect the environment and the people, he is not from the Cui family of Qinghe." .”

"Such a tragic case, it's nothing more than going to the court to judge the case, but even the criminals are not searched!"

Cui Qian was shocked, "Tragedy?"

Li Shan replied simply, "It's definitely not suicide by hanging, but hanging from the beam after being strangled to death with a rope."

"Bullshit!"

"true?"

After a brief silence, all kinds of questions rained down on his face. Li Shan saluted Cui Xin calmly, then turned around and said, "Anyone who commits suicide by hanging will have a bruised face, a fractured hyoid bone, exposed tongue tip, and no strangulation on the back of the neck." mark."

"Those who were strangled to death had wounds on their palms, blood on their backs, obvious strangulation marks on the back of their necks, and..."

Although Li Shan is not a forensic doctor, he can still see obvious loopholes. The bright finger prints on his neck were strangled to death!
And obviously he was strangled to death naked, because the women's clothes and skirts were all wrong, and they were not worn by himself... A few days ago, Li Shan saw Zhou's dressing and skirts with his own eyes every morning, which was quite troublesome. I don't understand.

Cui Hao shook his head and sneered, "Such things are empty words."

"Look for a master, and you will know it at a glance."

In this era, there is already the profession of wuzuo, who specializes in the funeral industry, but has already begun to participate in the autopsy work in the trial of yamen cases.

After hesitating for a moment, Cui Xin waved his hand to Cui Qian, who quickly walked out with a serious expression.

Li Shan glanced at Wei Zheng who had been working on the background board, "I'll leave it to Brother Xuan Cheng for the rest."

Hearing the indifference of these words, Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment before reacting, his face changed slightly and he wanted to say something, but Li Shan had already turned around and left the door.

For Wei Zheng, this situation may not be a bad thing.

Everyone is dead, what else can Fang Shilang do?

Unless Fang Silang is the only infatuated seed in the world, he can only accept those compensations sadly... In order to calm public opinion, the Cui family may compensate the land, the manor, or even give a lot of money.

Will Fang Shilang not accept it?

If you don't accept it, you won't be able to get a single hair, and your family will be ruined. What will you do in the future?
What's more, if you don't accept it, you will probably continue to be persecuted by the Cui family... No matter what kind of organization, it grows to be everywhere in a county, with tens of millions of people, and tens of thousands of people attached to it... There will always be some insidious means.

In this way, as long as Fang Silang accepts the compensation, this matter will be considered as a matter of ambiguity. Wei Zheng, the envoy who patrolled Shandong, can appease the family on the one hand, and the Cui family is the one who is wronged, so it is only natural to give some compensation , On the one hand, it can also appease the people, after all, it is an explanation.

Li Shan didn't know if Wei Zheng had such a plan in his heart, but he felt that it was quite close.

"According to the law?" Ling Jing sneered after listening to Li Shan's analysis: "According to the law, you should die, but in this world, who dares to offend the Cui family of Qinghe in Beizhou?"

"That's all, that's all." Li Shanpi hummed with a half-smile, "Wei Xuancheng, Wei Xuancheng..."

In the history books, how many later generations of literati mentioned the rule of Zhenguan in a tone of envy and reminiscence, and how many books tirelessly mentioned Wei Zheng, a famous minister of Zhenguan... But in fact, no matter whether Wei Zheng is a politician, a bureaucrat, or a famous person, he must Follow certain guidelines.

What guidelines?
Nothing more than pros and cons.

Wei Zheng can only make peace between the aristocratic family and the common people... He is not the lowest level of the common people. The Fang family owns more than [-] acres of fertile land, so they can be regarded as small landlords.

It has been more than a year since he came to this era. Li Shan successively met the children of Longxi Li, Xingyang Zheng, Taiyuan Wang, Qinghe Cui, or Li Kai, Li Zhaode, Wang Renbiao, etc., or Wang Renyou, Cui Hao is such a feud.

Li Shan once made a comment in his heart. Generally speaking, his qualifications are above average, but he is not considered a hero.

But this time, in Beizhou and Qinghe, Li Shan saw with his own eyes what kind of influence the elites of this era have.

Occupying people's farms, abducting people's wives and daughters, that's all, killing people to silence them... the county government is unwilling to file a case.

The envoys who visited Shandong under the edict of the sage could only reconcile and pacify both ends during the period, hoping to be vague.

Li Shan's heart felt cold, and he couldn't help muttering: "The gourd monk wrongly judged the gourd case..."

The reason for the misjudgment was largely due to the official amulet that the gourd monk took out.

And five surnames and seven families, isn't it just an official protection talisman?
Jia is not fake, Bai Yu is a horse for Tang Jin.

Efang Palace, three hundred miles away, cannot live in Jinling for a single history.

The East China Sea lacked a white jade bed, and the Dragon King came to invite the King of Jinling.

There is a lot of "snow" in a good year, and pearls are like earth and gold is like iron.

How will future generations treat the five surnames and seven families?

Thousands of years of inheritance, classics and righteousness?
The fact is that every family has generals who once held military power... In other words, they are in the same line as the four major families in the Dream of the Red Chamber.

Aristocrats, aristocrats, in this era, not only participate in government affairs, but their influence is not only in the upper class, but the influence in the middle and lower classes of society is even more terrifying.

The imperial power does not go to the countryside, and this part of the power vacuum... is occupied by aristocratic families headed by five surnames and seven families.

No wonder since Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, as long as the successive emperors wanted to make a difference, they had been devoting themselves to reducing power and family, but unfortunately the results were not good. , Boling Cui, Wen Xipei, and Zhaojun Li are almost the prime ministers taking turns to sit in rows.

This kind of clan system... apart from the physical death and the crazy wars that spread all over the world from the bottom up, it is almost impossible to use political means to weaken or even eliminate it.
