Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 176

"Auspicious snow heralds a good year", this snowing is originally a good thing, but there are always people who don't want to make Jin Yu happy.No, the yamen servant came to the door early in the morning.

"But at the Earl's Mansion in Baxian County?" The yamen servant who came also came here on orders, but he was actually very reluctant. Who would come to the Earl's Mansion to make trouble when he was full?

"Exactly, who are you looking for?" The concierge looked up and down the person. He was dressed in green clothes, and he seemed to be a ninth-rank official. He didn't forget about his master and thought, how could the people he was dealing with be so low-level?But the attitude of the concierge is quite good.

"I'm Zhao Zizhong, the county lieutenant of Lower Baqiao County, please inform the uncle of Baxian County." The ninth-rank official and the porter were very polite, standing where they were and waiting.

The concierge saw the seriousness of what they said, and invited them to his duty room, "Everyone, come and wait inside, it's cold in the snow. The villain will report right now."

Hearing that the yamen came, Jin Yu was still at a loss. He had nothing to do with the local government. All the procedures for buying the land by himself went from Chang'an. Is it because of this?However, Jin Yu still came out and asked the porter to take the people from the yamen to the side hall.Jin Yu has been here for a while, and the rules are pretty much inseparable. Nowadays, people attach great importance to official rank and title, and different grades have to be entertained according to different standards. When you go to the main hall to entertain them, they won't feel flattered, but they will think that you are humiliating them with your rank, and they are in trouble.

Zhao Zizhong didn't come in with the yamen servant, he followed the porter to the side hall alone, and his first impression when he saw Jin Yu was - young!But he will not underestimate Jin Yu just because he is young.Zhao Zizhong is very clear about the matter of his one-third of an acre of land. The title of Ba County Earl is not inherited from his ancestors, but earned by himself.

After Zhao Zizhong came in, his first reaction was to greet him, "The county captain of Xiabaqiao County, Zhao Zizhong, took the liberty to come here, please don't blame the uncle of Baxian County."

Jin Yu was also very kind, and cupped his hands, "Lieutenant Zhao is very polite, please sit down." Then he ordered the serving maid, "Look at the tea."

After the servant girl went down, Zhao Zizhong saw that there was no one in the room, pondered for a while, and decided to show his favor first, "Who did Uncle Baxian offend recently?"

Zhao Zizhong's words made Jin Yu frowned, and his heart beat a circle. It is true that someone offended, but he has been very quiet recently? "It's okay for Captain Zhao to speak up if he has something to say."

"I'm being rude." Zhaoxian Lieutenant was very polite, "The county magistrate sent me here today for the crops in your field. If I offend you, please forgive me." Zhao County Lieutenant I picked myself out in one sentence. This is not what I wanted to come, but I was forced to be helpless and sent by the superior.If you are always angry, don't implicate us small fish and shrimps. If there is a wrong and a debt, go to the county magistrate.

When Lieutenant Zhao said this, Jin Yu understood that he really came here to show his favor, and he had grown some vegetables in his field, which was not allowed by the imperial court law, and he would be fined.Originally, people could justly pull it out and then come to the door to fine them, but they didn't do that. Instead, they first found themselves, the right owner, to explain that the expression on their faces was indeed forced and helpless.Jin Yu nodded, "I wonder when Captain Zhao got the news?"

"To be honest, I knew about it in autumn, but I didn't report it to the county magistrate. The county magistrate may have found out a few days ago." County captain Zhao can speak, and he knew it a long time ago, but he just pretended not to know. Now The county magistrate found out that he would be charged with "negligence". He himself felt that he was wronged, and it also meant complaining to himself.

"Thank you for the reminder, County Commander Zhao." Jin Yu cupped his hands, and the general situation became clear. It seems that the person who made the report didn't go through the County Commander Zhao in front of him, but went directly to the county magistrate, even if he asked. Ask what. "I don't know how to deal with it according to the law?"

"Generally speaking, it is first pulled out, and then fined." Zhao Xianwei said, "However, the Ba County Bo's House can be a little more flexible. If you get more money, the farmer can stay. It has grown by half. It's a pity to unplug it." Zhao Xianwei knew how to consider customers, and gave him advice from Jin Yu's perspective.

"I don't know how much the fine will be?" Jin Yu asked again.

"Eleven acres were planted in Baxian Bo's Mansion. If you pull it out, you will be fined twice, and if you don't pull it out, you will be fined three times." Zhao Xianwei did a lot of preparation work, and when Jin Yu asked him, he was catchy.

Jin Yu nodded, his face was a little gloomy, the money can't move his muscles at all, it seems that some people just let the dog disgust him. "Thank you County Captain Zhao, do you want to measure it again?"

"Don't bother, I'll leave it at the next glance." Zhao Xianwei, who is in his forties, seems to have dealt with the farmland for more than ten years, and he is very confident in his own ability. "If the uncle of County Ba grows vegetables again, he can open some barren fields next time, and the yamen doesn't care about it." Seeing Jinyu's gloomy face, the county captain Zhao also beat his heart, and greeted all the women in the county magistrate's eight generations of direct relatives. Send such a job yourself?

"Thank you, County Lieutenant Zhao, for your point, and Jin appreciates it." Seeing that he had a good attitude and gave him some advice, Jin Yu could understand that the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, so it is estimated that the county magistrate Zhao has nothing to do.

"Don't dare." County Captain Zhao hurriedly got up and saluted, secretly happy in his heart, if he could get such a word from Jin Yu, his trip would not be in vain.

Now that Jin Yu has said everything here, Zhao Xianwei went to ask Steward Chen to collect the money with great interest.

At the same time, the court is not peaceful.Wen Yanbo is an upright official, but he is not very measured. As a prime minister, it doesn't apply to the phrase "the prime minister can pull a boat in his belly".This time he was being used as a gun. In fact, he knew it in his heart, but he was so angry that he decided to tease Jin Yu.

Wen Yanbo received an anonymous letter a while ago, similar to what Li Chengqian received back then.It listed Jin Yu's major crimes: growing vegetables in the field-disrespecting imperial orders;These are not major crimes, but they can tarnish a person's reputation.

Li Er understands the gossip in the courtiers' belly, Wei Zheng hates Yuwen Shiji, Li Jing puts Tang Jian in danger for the sake of the overall situation, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng have the intention of marrying the powerful, etc., he knows it all. Ming, but these guys are easy to use, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, so he pretends not to know.

With Wen Yanbo like this, Li Er has a headache. Jin Yu has done some things a little too much, but who has never been young?When I was young, I didn't have much toss.Let’s just talk about this toilet paper. In fact, he also uses it.

"Is there any evidence?" Li Er asked after listening to Wen Yanbo's words.

"The 110 acres of fertile land are used to grow vegetables. After hearing this, I was heartbroken. How much less food will be harvested? How many people will be saved? Your majesty will send someone to check and you will know. I am absolutely true." Wen Yanbo swore, but he didn't know what was going on. There is a lot of moisture.In fact, it was like this in ancient times. You don’t know that the relief money was peeled off layer by layer, and less than ten percent of it actually reached the victims.What about reporting the credit?The person who made the main contribution was changed again and again, and finally became a certain feudal official, and his political achievements were carried on the emperor's imperial case.

"Using paper to go to the toilet is something I hate. Everyone in Jinjiazhuang knows about it." Wen Yanbo lowered his head and continued to talk. Seeing that Li Er still didn't make a sound, he gritted his teeth and bit the last one to death. , "Jin Gui Tang openly went to brothels. There are many rumors about this matter. Jin Gui Tang even wrote a poem, which was despised by the common people and indecent. I hope His Majesty will clearly observe it."

In fact, these are petty crimes. There are a few rumors with the Qinlou girl these days, and it can still become a good story. The poem written by Jin Yu has become a good story. rise.Now go to listen to the Hongxiu Zhaoban music. Tickets are charged, one ten taels of silver, don't think it's expensive, if you go late, it will be gone, limited.

Li Er had a headache, he didn't expect that Wen Yanbo hadn't given up beating Jin Yu yet.In fact, Li Er is a very tolerant person, as long as he does not offend him severely, or commits the crime of treason, he can generally survive.He is very clear about the tunes of his younger brothers. Those younger military generals like the dirty tunes a lot, and it is estimated that there is no less.Those civil servants prefer to be more elegant and tactful, and they also take care of the business of the brothel.Everyone knows each other well, but they don't talk about it.

Li Er was still hesitating, but someone came to his feet again. This was also the last move arranged by Chu Xuan. If what Wen Yanbo said was not accepted by Li Er, then he would list all the things he had collected recently and show Li Er. .In fact, according to Chu Xuan's original intention, "Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge", but his master couldn't hold back, and planned to make Jin Yu suffer for years.Li Tai is fat, but his heart is really small, comparable to a needle nose.

Wei Ting, who is involved in the affairs of Prince Wei's residence, is more or less involved in these matters. He is now also a part-time doctor of the imperial censor, and has the duty to correct the actions of all officials. He was coerced and lured by the little fat man to come forward and expose Jin Yu.He himself had seen the evidence listed by Chu Xuan and thought it was conclusive, so he reluctantly agreed.

Chu Xuan acted fiercely, not looking for those details at all, and directly charged Jin Yu with the "ten evils" in the Tang Law.To be honest, this trick is really vicious. The so-called "ten evils" refer to: treason, plotting great treason, treason, evil rebellion (behavior of beating immediate elders), immorality (the case of extermination of more than three members of a family), disrespect, Unfilial, disharmony, injustice, civil strife.The Tang law adopted the most severe punishment for these ten crimes. Those who can beheaded will never be sentenced to exile, and they will be "unpardoned if they are met", which is the origin of "heinous crimes".

Some time ago, Chu Xuan's conspiracy failed to bear fruit, so Wei Ting collected some unethical crimes and asked Wei Ting to submit them to Li Er.This charge includes: unfilial piety, disharmony, and civil strife.

In order to bring down Jin Yu, Chu Xuan spared no effort. He sent people all the way to find the survivors of Jin Yu's clan, and told those people, "If there is no survivor, we must find the survivor!"

Those people were really afraid of the deep and venomous staff of Wei Wangfu, so they naturally found ideal candidates for Chu Xuan continuously.So this crime was compiled, and Jin Yu inexplicably had a lot of "relatives".

When Wei Ting said this, some people disagreed at the time. Cheng Yaojin almost pointed at Wei Ting's nose and scolded his mother, and reported to Li Er: "I would like to use the head of Xiang Shang to guarantee that Gui Tang would never do such a thing." An outrageous thing."

Qin Qiong was more rational, and asked Wei Ting: "Does Dr. Wei have evidence in hand?"

"Wei never said things without evidence. There are witnesses and material evidences for this matter. I hope His Majesty will see clearly." The reaction of Cheng and Qin was within Wei Ting's expectation, and he decided in his heart that Jin Yu was the one. A kind of person who is a big villain, and the disguise is very good!
"What do you love?" Li Er pondered for a moment. He couldn't favor Jin Yu in this kind of matter. Wei Ting has always been a good person. If he didn't have solid evidence, he wouldn't risk being criticized.

Li Daozong stood up first, "Your Majesty, although I don't know what the evidence in Master Wei's hands is, but Jin Guitang is definitely not a big evil person, otherwise he would not have to dedicate Jieli Khan to the court. away from home.”

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Jinguitang clan was not killed by the storm, but the entire clan he slaughtered. There are survivors of the Jinguitang clan in Weichen's family. This is what he said personally. Jinguitang Xianjieli Khan It's nothing more than a reward." Wei Ting's words were astonishing.

Qin Qiong smiled, "I don't know how Master Wei identified this survivor? It's not biased for Master Wei to accuse Tang of the 'ten heinous' crimes before he can distinguish between true and false?"

"I have asked, and what he described is consistent with Jin Guitang, and I have physical evidence in hand, so I can't help but not believe it." Wei Ting was neither humble nor overbearing, and firmly believed that what he saw was the most real.

Li Er didn't understand why he was so noisy, so Li Er pondered for a while. If he favored Jin Yu in matters of right and wrong, he would definitely be criticized by the courtiers and even the common people. Jia and Liu Dewei will start the trial of the case immediately! Wei Zheng will listen in!" Li Erzheng's trial lineup can be described as extremely luxurious. Sun Fujia and Liu Dewei belong to the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice respectively. If Wen Yanbo hadn't reported Jin Yu, he would have let him Wen Boyan's participation formed a situation of "joint trial of the three divisions", but if Wei Zheng was on the sidelines, the justice of the case could be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

Jin Yu was wondering who was behind the scenes at home, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin came to the door, roughly talked about the situation in the court today, before Jin Yu had time to distinguish, another person from the yamen came to the door, using The words are very polite, "Please Baxian Bo follow me down for a cup of tea."

Li Er used the word "immediately" very euphemistically, and the younger brothers under him did not dare to shirk, and immediately used the yamen of Dali Temple to carry out the action.Wei Ting went home to bring his so-called personal and physical evidence, and the Yamen sent someone to pick up the rightful lord, Jin Yu.

Dali Temple, the highest judicial organ of the central government, exercises the judicial power of the central government, and hears cases involving hundreds of officials in the central government and those sentenced to imprisonment in the capital.Converted to the yamen of later generations, it is the Supreme People's Court, the kind of yamen that makes a final decision, and the kind of yamen that has no place to appeal for inconsistent trials.

Jin Yu only had anger in his heart, without the slightest fear. He didn't forget to look around when he entered the gate of the yamen. He had never been involved in a bureau before, so this time it was considered a sightseeing trip, right?The courtroom is relatively large, and it doesn't give people a gloomy feeling.There were no common people watching outside, and there were four yamen servants standing at the door, waiting for the dispatch of the chief judge. The two times were spectator seats. Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin could attend as relatives, and Wei Zheng was also on the list.There is no plaque above the trial court, but there is a large bronze mirror standing beside it (the ancient trial court placed a bronze mirror, which was called "Qin mirror high hanging", and the mirror was removed later and replaced with a plaque) , can vaguely reflect the figure, which is far worse than my own mirror!
Seeing that the presiding judge hadn't come up yet, Jin Yu strolled to the mirror and straightened his appearance in front of the mirror. This was his first appearance in court, so he couldn't be ashamed, right?When Qin Qiong saw Jin Yu's appearance, he knew that there was no doubt about the false accusation, and he was relieved.

When Sun Fujia and Liu Dewei came up, the first thing they did was to throw Jin Yu out, and then brought the plaintiff, who claimed to be Jin Yu's fellow clan, to prevent Jin Yu from making sophistry after knowing the whole story.

The person he brought called himself Jin Jing, and he was very cowardly. When he saw the two presiding judges, before they could pat the gavel, he knelt down and said the made up words like beans .It was nothing more than some trumped-up charges of Jin Yu, such as doing evil in the clan, forcing him to have an affair with his younger sister, and later murdering him because his parents knew about it.However, at that time, the clan lacked water, and the patriarch was forced to move out of the desert without caring about punishing Jin Yu. Because Jin Yu's force value was higher than ordinary people, he temporarily kept his body to be punished and escorted the clan out of the desert.Unexpectedly, Jin Yu was afraid of being punished after walking out of the desert, so one night Jin Yu killed all the sleeping clansmen, because he woke up at night, so he was saved from disaster.As for Jin Yu's appearance, the description is the same as what he saw with his own eyes. If someone is interested in checking it, what he said is exactly the same as what the yamen servant wrote when Jin Yu was enthroned and registered!It was memorized!

Talking about the thrilling place, it's like being there, with a frightened face.

Qin Qiong marched and fought, the more he listened to it, the more he wanted to laugh. He asked Jin Yu to accompany him on a hunting trip. Li Jing’s test against Jin Yu was still vivid in his memory. He didn’t believe that the patriarch who could teach Jin Yu such a talent didn’t know how to arrange sentries !Single out a family?Fantasy novel?Nonsense.

The two presiding judges would not directly adopt Jin Jing's one-sided statement, and asked Wei Ting about the so-called physical evidence.Jin Jing said that Jin Yu looted all the belongings of the clansmen, leaving only two "stocks" filled with water, and then the two "stocks" were presented by the government servants. A mineral water bottle from Nongfu Spring!It seems that the little fat man spared no effort to frame Jin Yu. I don't know if he spent money, or Mu Nan has already been murdered.

It is said that Jin Yu thought about it on the way here, he had never seen this so-called clansman before, could it be possible that someone came through behind him?The possibility is very small, if someone else framed it, it is really difficult to deal with, I have no way to prove that person is framed, because no one knows what I said.Jin Yu is very confident that he has never seen this so-called clansman, and no one has been following him recently. If someone is following him, he must be at least 20 meters away from him, otherwise he would have noticed it long ago.If so``````Jin Yu told Qin Qiong his idea, Qin Qiong was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a smile, which was affirmation of Jin Yu's idea.
