Jinyi Night Walk

At this time, Liu Yuanwai had already heard that Xia Xun, an official, had an extraordinary relationship with his son, and seeing that the sixth-rank official was flattering to explain to Xia Xun, his background was not just that of an eighth-rank official. Then he hurried up to meet him, knelt down in front of Xia Xun and Yi Jiayi, and said sincerely: "This master is right. Regarding the certificate of the Vajra slave, the old man really made a fake, and the government wants to punish the old man." , It’s the old man who deserves what he deserves, not wronged. But the child is young and ignorant, he usually only studies at home, and he doesn’t care about business matters at all, what the old man does, the child doesn’t know the slightest bit, and he also asks the adults to show mercy and forgive the child.”

Xia Xun's eyes were fixed, and he said in a deep voice: "Since Mr. Liu knows that he is guilty, why do you want to protect that King Kong Slave?"

Liu Yuanwai said sadly: "Speaking of the time when Wang Yiyuan arrived in Jinan, Xu Huan, the second steward of the old man's house, told the old man that his cousin had been in Jinan for a few days to clean up the wind and dust for him, and take him on a tour to relax. To the old man who blamed him, the old man... he was negligent, so he listened to him. Xu Huan has always been diligent and loyal in his work in the old man's house, why doesn't the old man believe him?

well!Furthermore, the old man never thought that such a bony scholar would be a murderous imperial court prisoner. He felt sorry for him as a scholar with a reputation, and he didn't want him to make a fuss. He wanted to take care of him.As for the night when the case happened at Li's house...the old man's bookshop had no one staying there before, so where could he find someone to prove Wang Yiyuan's innocence?The old man believed him, so how could he think that this matter has something to do with him, he only thought that he was someone who worked for my Liu family, anyway, this matter had nothing to do with him, so he asked two fellows to testify for him..."

Yi Jiayi sneered and said: "So, don't blame others. The notice clearly stated that those who falsify and produce perjury will be punished as bandits. This is a major case of treason. Since you are guilty, why should you be wronged?" ?”

Member Liu listened, bowed his head and said nothing, suddenly a person rushed out from the side, knelt down in front of Xia Xun and Yi Jiayi with a bang, and cried bitterly: "It's the villain's fault, it's all the villain's fault, the villain's fault." I have been deceived by human lard. My cousin, whom I haven't seen for more than ten years, believes what a villain says, not only harming himself, but also harming others, and even cheating my family members. Gentlemen, please punish the villain severely. Killing the villain, the villain has no complaints, my family members have been wronged, gentlemen, I beg you to be merciful."

This person kowtowed as he spoke, and his head hit the green bricks on the floor, covered with bruises. This person was Xu Huan, the second steward of Liu's residence.

Xia Xun was silent for a moment, patted Liu Yujue's hand lightly, and said, "Don't panic, brother, just let them go. Let me think of a way to do this."

Liu Yujue panicked, "Brother Wenxuan..."

Xia Xun nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, don't worry, I will try my best!"

Looking into Xia Xun's eyes, Liu Yujue slowly let go of his hand. Although he had only met Xia Xun once, that gaze made him feel trust, and he believed that Xia Xun would not leave him alone.

Yi Jiayi looked at Xia Xun's face, and said in a low voice, "Master Yang, do you really want to help them? They really broke the law."

It is true that the Lius and his sons had no intention of helping the evildoers, but they really violated the laws of the state.Even Liu Yujue, who knew nothing about this matter, was also guilty, because the Ming Dynasty had a law of even sitting.You can say that this kind of law is unreasonable, but the country made it.However, because of this, they have to be assassinated and exiled, and their families are ruined?

Xia Xun didn't think they deserved it.Any legislation will only start after the society puts forward the demand in this regard. At the same time, the establishment of the law also depends on a series of factors such as the level of cognition of the legislator. When a certain law is formulated, the predicted situation is always limited. Therefore, when the law plays a protective role, it is always imperfect and lags behind social development.He is a law enforcer, and he understands this better than anyone else.

When the legal provisions lag behind the reality and produce unfair consequences because of the legal provisions, should we rigidly insist on the supremacy of the law, or try our best to make up for the deficiencies of the law?This is a question that will never allow everyone to reach a consensus, and Xia Xun chose the latter.

He clearly remembers the crime of speculation that was once prevalent in his original era: an engineer from a state-owned enterprise was hired by a private company to invent a new product or design a production line, but he became a speculator and was arrested and imprisoned; Lost workers, earned money, became a speculator and was caught in prison;

It's the law, but it's flawed.According to the logic of the supremacy of the law, even if they know that the so-called criminals are wronged, they should be resolutely implemented before the legislative body amends it, so as to maintain the dignity of the law.However, more than ten years before the crime of speculation was completely removed from the relevant laws and regulations, many local governments had already begun to use their power to intervene in the judiciary, protecting a large number of so-called "speculators" and having a positive effect on social progress.

This law was eventually abolished, maybe it was because they took practical actions to make legislators realize its inappropriateness.You can say that it is the rule of man, it offends the dignity of the law, but it conforms to public opinion, the positive effect that should have been produced by the law, but in a certain period of time, the law played a negative and wrong role. At this time, someone stood up resisted it and eventually prompted its revision.

Xia Xun has no ability to abolish the law of Lian Zuo, but he does not recognize the rationality of Lian Zuo, so should he do what he is capable of solving?He did this. After he found Mr. Cao, the procurator, he first talked about going to Qingzhou to arrest the murderer. Mr. Cao naturally agreed, and then he mentioned the matter of Liu Yujue. In order to persuade Mr. Cao, he would sit down like this All kinds of inadequacies were said tirelessly.

As a law enforcer in this era, Mr. Cao didn't understand the great principles that Xia Xun said. The practice of even sitting has been around since the Warring States period, and it has been officially legislated since Qin Shangyang's time, and it has continued to this day.For example, the family members of sinners who did not work as prostitutes also existed since the Warring States Period. It was formally legislated in the Han Dynasty, and since Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, it has been like this since ancient times. What's wrong?

Besides, this is an order from Mr. Cao himself. Isn't this a refutation of his face?Although Xia Xun helped him capture Niu Buye and made a great contribution, if he relied on his merits and pointed fingers at Cao Qigen, Cao Qigen would never accept it.He has his domain, even if Xia Xun is a strong dragon, he cannot usurp his power.

But when Yi Jiayi whispered to him, Cao Qigen felt relieved, and pleaded for forgiveness for his friend. This is human nature, but it is rare to ask someone to ask Xia Xun for such a generous statement. He is so anxious , Could it be...

Mr. Cao's associative reasoning ability is not inferior to Xia Xun's. He immediately remembered that Yi Jiayi had reported to him that Xia Xun was calm and kicked out the first beauty of Yixiangyuan, the girl in purple, from the room; , mentioned that the son of the Liu family is as handsome as a virgin; thinking of many Beijing officials who are masculine, he came up with a very reasonable explanation.

Thinking about it this way, Master Cao's last bit of anger dissipated.He glanced at Xia Xun ambiguously, asked him to sit down with a smile, and said, "Since Mr. Yang opened his mouth, this official must give me this face. However, it is a crime to commit falsehoods and perjury, and to be guilty of the same crime as the bandits." It was an order issued by the official himself, and the notice is still posted on the street now, so don’t break your word and get fat.”

Xia Xun said: "According to your lord's will?"

Cao Qigen chuckled, stroked his beard and said, "Didn't Master Yang go to Qingzhou to hunt down thieves? In this way, you take that Liu Yujue with you and treat him as an informant. Once Ling Potian is arrested, you will share some credit with him." , I can exonerate him.”

Xia Xun asked: "If you go to Qingzhou, can't you catch Ling Potian, the leader of the bandit?"

Cao Qigen frowned slightly and said: "In this case, I will come to think of a way. I must help Mr. Yang with this favor. However, this kind of case is no small matter. Even if I don't use him as a teacher Regardless of punishment, it is impossible to be released without guilt, I believe Lord Yang understands this point."

Xia Xun heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "That's natural, I understand. I'm very grateful for my lord's willingness to help."

After three days of preparation, Xia Xun and the others finally set off for Qingzhou. The Jinan government's crackdown on the Bailian sect bandits is gradually fading away, and the people are slowly returning to their previous lives. The watchmen also withdrew, and it was meaningless to continue guarding this kind of place. No one could live for so long in such a dark cave without food and drink, but to find Wang Jingangnu's body, it would be too late. impossible.

Before they left, they blocked the entrance of Qiuzi Cave. Even if one or two people had tools in their hands, they couldn't dig it open. Explaining the situation, he used the word "material" very cautiously, predicting that he would die.

Wang Yiyuan didn't die, maybe God didn't want him to die. After he escaped from the cave, he sent him a man, the idler who was recruited by the government to explore the cave and was now declared missing.He carried fire, dry food and water bags on his body. Although it was only enough to last for two days, in Wang Yiyuan's eyes, this idler could still be his food.

Therefore, he survived the time that a normal person should have died long ago, and he found an exit in the underground cave like a maze like a cobweb. This is an extremely narrow and long hole, and he can hardly hold it As he went down, feeling the breeze coming in from the hole, he climbed desperately, and he succeeded.

When he crawled out of the cave exit among the rocks like a ghost, he saw the bright moon and stars, and a dark and tall city in front of him. He had already appeared outside Jinan city. ! ~!
