Your Highness, the princess is going to paint your portrait

Chapter 128 Life
Jing Chun and Li Captou glanced at each other, and they probably had a direction in mind.

If we follow the current clues: old beggar, lame man, bearded man.

Song Yiwen suddenly shouted, "Captain Li!"

Song Yiwen changed his previous expression, and his face became more severe, "It is limited to three days to find the person who abandoned the baby. The reason must be detailed, otherwise you will come to this house directly with the board!"

It was the first time Jing Chun heard this tone from Song Yiwen's mouth, and it was still three days ago. I have to say that the time is really tight...

Capt. Li also became serious, "Sir, my subordinates are going to take people along the street to investigate. There must be a result within three people."

After getting Song Yiwen's permission, Capt. Li took the government officials to investigate.

Song Yiwen also stood up, glanced at the unkempt Wang Ding, and couldn't help frowning, then arranged a few government servants, "Since the dead baby has nothing to do with him, let's take him to wash up, he is If you want to hand it over to the prefect of Wujun, wouldn't such a face pollute the dignity of Jingzhao Mansion, and there is no need to eat and drink less Wang Ding these few days."

After Song Yiwen left, Lu Yuzuo didn't stay long, he had to write down the signs of death of the dead baby, he was very busy at hand, Master Tang was still sorting out Wang Ding's confession, and he had no time to take care of those who were still in prison Jing Chun.

It wasn't until the things were put away that Jing Chun finally opened his mouth, "Master Tang, among the many people you have met, you must surpass me in scrutinizing Duodu, knowing people and discussing the world. To be honest, there are some things that I don't quite understand. "

Tang Gushang listened to Jing Chun's flattery, and couldn't help but smile. In his heart, he saw through the girl in front of him. What Jing Chun wanted to know was definitely not what he said on the surface.

After all, Jing Chun was still a princess. According to common sense, how could Tang Gushang be able to ask a dignified princess to ask Tang Gushang for advice.

Tang Gushang also raised his airs slightly, "Is there anything you don't understand?"

"Master Song seems to be very concerned about the dead baby..."

It's not that Song Yiwen didn't pay attention to the previous cases, but this time Song Yiwen followed the dead baby case from the beginning to the present, not daring to be careless in the slightest, and even arranged Wang Ding very properly.

Song Yi asked why he had ever spoken harshly in front of Jing Chun and the others. He had always known the principles of the officialdom, but now he attached so much importance to this dead baby case, what was the reason for the lack of protection.

Tang Gushang smiled slightly. He didn't expect that Jing Chun could observe words and expressions in such detail, so he asked: "Then what do you think is the reason?"

Jing Chun also smiled and said, "If I understand, I don't need to ask you."

Tang Gushang looked around and saw several yamen servants passing by, so he knew that this was not a place to talk.

"Come out and say."

Seeing Tang Gushang going out, Jing Chun also followed.

Seeing that there was no one around, Tang Gushang remembered the question Jing Chun asked just now, and said: "My lord, wouldn't you be more considerate? This case has no use for you for the time being, why? You are planning to intervene again. "

"It's not that my lord is not good at caring, but it's just that I feel ashamed to be an idler when I see you all have tight schedules and heavy tasks."

Tang Gushang smiled and said, "My lord is also a human being. You are so good at guessing people's hearts, why didn't you even notice this?"

Jing Chun was slightly stunned, "How do you say that?"

"Your Excellency is the official of the parents, the official of the parents, and even the word "parents", how can you not pay attention to the newborn baby?"

"I know this truth, but Lu Wuzuo also said that the child was stillborn since birth. Since it has not lived, how can it be regarded as a life?"

Tang Gushang was slightly taken aback, "I never thought that the well worker would say such cold-blooded words."

Jing Chun was not angry at Tang Gushang's opinion of himself, but said: "Of course I know the value of human beings, but I also know that an unborn baby cannot be regarded as a real social 'person'. Master Song attaches great importance to this matter. Of course, but it’s a bit of putting the cart before the horse, the Jingzhao government should make efforts to protect many women and babies.”

"The well worker has a long-term vision, which is beyond the reach of many people. The well worker thinks that this is the direction of the world's 'Great Harmony', but the reality is not like this. Does the well worker know what a baby means?"

"It's just people."

Tang Gushang somewhat agreed, "It's people. It can be said that the entire Yan Kingdom is operated by people. It is like a carriage, and people are like wheels. If there are no wheels, how can the carriage move forward? The laws of Yan Kingdom are from Women have never been oppressed to give birth, and women are even encouraged to give birth. If it is a girl baby, the imperial court will reward five taels and a pig from its own pocket; if it is a boy baby, it will get ten taels and a pig. , children can be exempted from Shuxiu's study, etc. The protective measures mentioned by Jinggong are not without exception, but now there is still a dead baby in front of Master Song, what do you think Master Song will think?"

If you think this way, wouldn’t you be ashamed of the current law? Just these words are enough to make people depressed.

"Has the worker thought about the reason behind this dead baby?"

Jing Chun shook her head, what she cared about was the safe place of the dead baby, but she never considered the vigilance of the dead baby.

Tang Gushang sighed slightly, and his tone became deeper, "There are many reasons why this dead baby needs to be investigated. For example, how did the woman get pregnant with the child? Was she forced by someone or became pregnant out of wedlock? The woman How could a dead baby be born into the world? Under what circumstances did the mother give birth to the dead baby? Under what mood did she abandon the dead baby? Was she young and ignorant or was she forced to do so? What needs to be considered behind this matter There are many things, and it is not just the matter of the dead baby being abandoned. If Mr. Song does not pay attention to this matter today, and even leaves it to a few of us to investigate as before, it will be fine if it is found out. What if it cannot be found out? That is. If there is a backlog of cases, will this mother still abandon her dead baby and ignore it in the future? What's more, if she follows this law, then it will be an even more significant contempt for the law."

Jing Chun seemed to be amazed by what Tang Gushang said. He didn't know the reason behind it, and said unconsciously: "I have never thought Master Song has such a calm mind. He talks and laughs with us from time to time..."

Hearing Jing Chun's words, Tang Gushang smiled and said, "Otherwise, how do you think Mr. Song is able to sit in today's position? This Jingzhao Mansion's official position is not small, and all cases in the capital need to be seen by the Jingzhao Mansion. This holy majesty must be It is only because of the trust of Master Song that the position of Jingzhao Mansion will be handed over to him, which is not only the favor of the Holy Majesty, but also the loyalty of Master Song who cares about the country and the people."

If you look at it this way, Jing Chun's misunderstanding of Song Yiwen is quite deep. She thought Song Yiwen was a smooth official who knew the officialdom well, and she even expressed deep doubts about how Song Yiwen could reach his current position.

"Well workers," Tang Gushang said sincerely, and his expression was a little dazed, "Scholars are farmers, industry and merchants, scholars are the former, but those who work in government offices will take advantage of the reputation of scholars, but who can say Have the people in this government office never wanted to help the world? It’s just that over time, they have seen all kinds of hardships in this world, and there are very few people who really do it. Today I am talking to you here. Waiting is indispensable for youthful persistence.”
