After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 454
"We in China have been exploring the unity of man and nature thousands of years ago, so the method of Taoism is the most suitable for us!"

"The "New Daming Law" compiled on the basis of the 'Dao Sheng Law' is the best law."

Daoshengfa was actually interpreted like this by Zhu Yuanzhang and a group of ancient people?After seeing the cases handled by Zhang Yulin, Qin Yu thought to himself.After all, they are all ancients, and they are the ones who have traveled through time.
It is impossible to judge whether his judgment is right or wrong.

"Bring Plaintiff Defendant"

Soon several more people were brought into the lobby.

"Who is the plaintiff, who is your name, who is the person, and who are you suing?" Zhang Yulin asked, "Why did you sue the official? Tell the official and the villagers present the details of the incident in detail."

"Return to your lord." It was a young man who filed the complaint. "The name of the grassroots is Han Xupeng. He is a white man without any fame or official status. He sued Zhang Chengzhang, the magistrate of Zhangtou County."

He is a grassroots person who dares to sue the county magistrate?

The crowd was amazed.

As the saying goes, the poor do not fight the rich, and the rich do not fight the officials.

Hearing the words illegal activities, the old man's son's face suddenly changed color.

"In order not to misunderstand the common people, saying that the official who committed the crime and the official who handled the case are our own people, the Shangguan will protect you with your officials."

"That is to say, whenever those crumbling old people appear on the street alone, there must be something tricky."

"Or he has no children. Of course, this situation does not exist. Those who have no children have all entered the orphanage."

"Someone is here!" Zhang Yulin threw down the token, "First, pull down the old man's children and beat them hard with twenty big boards."

"Report to Mr. Fu Yin." Zhang Chengdao, "Your official..."

"Even some old people were jealous after seeing the old man got 20 taels of silver. After tasting the sweetness, they took the initiative to bump into pedestrians on the street and tried to blackmail a sum of money."

Will Zhang Yulin, the governor of Yingtian Prefecture, cover up County Magistrate Zhang?

"Or the children are unfilial."

"Do you think this officer can't find out the truth without witnesses?" Zhang Yulin sneered.

"Okay!" Zhang Yulin interrupted him coldly when he heard the words,

"The truth of the matter is already clear to my heart."

"Or, being forced by their children, forced to do some illegal activities."

"Just last month, when Caomin was going to the market in the city, he suddenly saw an old man fall to the ground. Out of kindness, Caomin went to help him and sent him to the hospital." Han Xupeng said,
"But after the old man woke up, he insisted on saying that the grass people knocked him over."

"However, the judge will not judge the case randomly, but pay attention to the evidence."

"What is the truth of the matter, I believe everyone now has a rough judgment in their hearts."

"So your behavior is not what normal children should do."

"What are you suing him for?" However, Zhang Yulin didn't treat each other differently because of their different identities, and asked Han Xupeng and Yan Yuese.

"My lord, please uphold justice for Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang's last sentence was absolutely fair. I think Han Xupeng didn't want to pay compensation, so he maliciously sued the officials."

"Is there any evidence for your statement?" Zhang Yulin asked.

"Since then, the people in Zhangtou County have been in danger, and they no longer dare to help the elderly when they see them fall."

The crowd became suspicious.

"So that's what happened." Zhang Yulin said.Turning to the defendant County Magistrate Zhang, he asked, "Zhang Cheng, is what he said the truth?"

"Normal children know that their parents are seriously ill and are in danger of dying anytime, anywhere. They will definitely tell them not to go out at will, and even send special personnel to take care of them."

As the saying goes, officials protect each other.

When the poor see the rich, the rich run away when they see the officials.

However, in Daming, where the country was founded on Taoism, this phenomenon seems to have ceased to exist.It was the prince who was beaten just now, but now it is another grassroots person who has reported the county magistrate.

"His two sons and daughters rushed to the hospital at this time, grabbed the grass man and insisted on paying the grass man."

Hearing this, Qin Yu also became interested, wanting to see how Zhang Yulin would handle it.

"What's the difference between letting such an old man go out alone and leaving a child outside without any ability to protect himself? Normal parents would let a child go out alone?"

"You are committing a crime knowingly, someone is here!" Zhang Yulin shouted, "Slap your mouth!"

"No." Zhang Cheng said lightly, "However, Han Xupeng said that he helped the old man out of kindness, and there is no evidence." Speaking of this, his expression became arrogant. Without any physical evidence, you can't say this The judge's judgment was wrong.

"After many investigations by the official, your business in the county has not been doing well in the past few years. Not only have you lost a lot of money, but you are not very filial when you are at home."

"My lord." The old man's son said, "The young one is 43 years old and usually does a small business in the city."

Turning to the old man's sons and daughters, he asked, "How old are you, what occupation are you doing, how old is your mother, and what hidden diseases do you have?"

"You know your old mother is old and in danger of having a stroke, yet you let her go shopping alone? My lord, first punish you for a crime of unfilial piety, and beat me later."

"The matter came to the county government, but the county magistrate, Mr. Zhang, told the grass people that you didn't hit the man, why did you help him? So, the grass people were sentenced to pay the old man 20 taels of silver."

After all, there was no surveillance in ancient times.

"Now you are going to speak your defense." Zhang Yulin said.

"Of course the grass people don't want to."

"Shut up!" But before he finished speaking, Zhang Yulin yelled, "Now you are a prisoner, how dare you call yourself a subordinate official? The Ming Dynasty's official regulations have long stipulated that officials who commit crimes are not allowed to call themselves position."

"Why did you beat us and what crime did we commit?" The old man's sons and daughters were dumbfounded.

"Jia Ci is 78 years old this year and suffered from a stroke, so he fell down when he was hit."

After receiving the punishment, Zhang Cheng said, "I know I was wrong."

"Reporting to Mr. Fu Yin," Zhang Chengdao said, "the old man was indeed knocked down by Han Xupeng, otherwise he would never be so kind, and he was helping him to the medical clinic and paying for the medical expenses."

The yamen servant who executed the punishment heard this, went straight to him, and slapped him mercilessly.

"In addition, I have already visited many of your neighbors. They all said that you are not filial. It is already a certainty. The testimonies signed by you are here, so your beating is inevitable."

After speaking, highlight the testimony.

The old man's sons and daughters were speechless, their faces ashen.

In ancient times, unfilial piety was a serious crime.Although Confucianism has now been eliminated,
