Touring the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 120 [Talking and laughing]

why?Just look at the people involved in these five cases. In the first case, Lu Ruonan, a talented scholar in Raozhou, sued Zhu Youchen, king of Huaiding in Raozhou, for conniving domestic slaves to bully the market and beat people. The second case is that of farmer Xue A certain sued the Yang family in Luling for building an ancestral tomb and illegally occupying land. This Yang family in Luling is also the hometown of Yang Tinghe, a senior scholar of the imperial court. The third case involved the Zhengyi sect in Longhushan. They had a senior lay disciple. Defrauding money and sex has aroused public outrage.

The fourth case involved two villages fighting for water, which caused several people to be beaten and maimed. The fifth case involved the murder of the magistrate of Nankang Prefecture. The case was solved, but the murderer was not caught. Experts caught the murderer, but the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Judiciary tried to shirk each other. The problem was that the murderer was not an ordinary person, but a giant bandit in Jiangxi. It was said that anyone who dared to catch him would die. There were a dozen of them. King Ning tried to recruit them, but he flatly refused.

The prince, the assistant, the celestial master, the troublemaker, and the great thief, the people involved in the five cases are absolutely not easy to mess with. No wonder these five cases have dragged on for six or seven years, and the short one has been more than half a year. No one has dared to take over. I don't know how many times I have played football back and forth between the Justice Division and the Ministry of Punishment.

The five case files were lined up in front of Duan Fei. They were all so tricky and difficult. Duan Fei had been staring at them for 10 minutes, but he still hadn't come up with a clue.

"Does your lord really want to touch these five cases?" Su Rong asked softly.

Duan Fei nodded slowly and said, "What do you think?"

Su Rong tapped the folding fan in her palm, and said: "Your Excellency has quickly dealt with most of the backlog of cases, which is enough to show your ability. Your Excellency can ignore these five cases and throw them back to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, or Call back, come and go a few times, and it’s over like this, official career is dangerous, my lord.”

Duan Fei shook his head and said: "If I say that being an official is not for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes, this is hypocrisy. In fact, I am a person who likes to take risks. In the eyes of others, these five cases are five unreasonable things." Great mountains to cross, they are extremely rare opportunities in my mind, don't you think?"

Su Rong's eyes lit up, she cupped her fists and bowed to Duan Fei happily, and said: "Thank you for your frankness, sir, in fact, Su Rong also hopes that you will not be afraid of dangers, and settle these five cases. Just now, you are just trying to test your Excellency. Now that I understand your will, Su Rong will go all out to advise you from now on."

Duan Fei didn't speak, he was waiting to hear Su Rong's opinion, only to hear Su Rong say: "My lord thinks these are five rare opportunities, and Su Rong also thinks so, no matter which one of these five cases my lord handles, at least They can all be famous in Jiangxi, and even go directly to the government and the public. If you can do two or three, you will definitely be able to go to heaven.

Duan Fei smiled and said: "If you want to do it, you can do the whole set, and if you want to do it, you can do it the best. Why can't you kill them all in one go?"

Su Rong's eyes shone with excitement, and she said happily: "My lord did not disappoint me. These five cases seem to be difficult, but if the method is right, they can save a lot of money. Now it's up to you which one you want to choose." Start first!"

Duan Fei glanced at him sideways: "You have a plan in mind? As a teacher, you have repeatedly teased me, thinking that I can't do anything about you? Hmph, people say knocking a mountain shakes a tiger, but I want to knock this tiger first Halo, wouldn't it be more effective to knock the tiger and shake the monkey?"

"Your Excellency is wise, this tiger has already been frightened into a frightened bird. You only need to beat him twice with fanfare, and I'm afraid he will be obedient. Does this mean that we are going to leave for Raozhou?" Su Rong smiled. Said that he didn't care about Duan Fei's threat.

Duan Fei scratched his head and said, "It still needs a long-term plan. We can't just kill these few people and go to Raozhou, and just tell the prince that I'm here to deal with you?"

Su Rong glanced at him with a smile, and said, "Master, why not..."

Just talking and laughing, I heard someone shouting loudly outside: "Everyone pay attention, Lord Governor Wang has returned to the city. His old man invites everyone to gather at the Governor's Yamen."

The voice sounded like a dutiful son wailing at a funeral, according to Chasili, he immediately became flustered, and Duan Fei was also surprised when he heard it, but he calmed down immediately, and turned his head to look at Su Rong, who also happened to turn his head to look over, The two looked at each other, and smiled like a tacit understanding.

The governor is a position created by the Ming Dynasty, and it is taken with the intention of patrolling the world, appeasing the army and calming the people. Although the governor is not an official local military and political chief, but because he is out of the local area, he controls the three divisions (the division of Cheng Xuanzheng, the division of punishment, and the division of the capital). Commander), actually holds the local military and political power. Wang Shouren is the man who captured King Ning. In this special period, it can be said that he has the most power in Jiangxi. However, everyone is afraid of him not because he is powerful, but because he is more powerful Strict, Jiangxi needs great governance after the chaos. Under such circumstances, the operation of the government has a great impact on the restoration of people's livelihood. At this time, it is reasonable for Wang Shouren to be strict with Jiangxi officials, big and small.

Officials above the fifth rank and above from Jiangxi Sansi Yamen and Nanchang Mansion quickly gathered in the Governor’s Yamen. Everyone waited tremblingly inside and outside the central hall. Those who could sit in the hall were all officials of third rank and above, and those who were inferior could only stand The sun is blowing under the hall.

Duan Fei calmly walked at the end, and stood at the end contentedly when queuing. Among the large group of officials, he was the youngest and had the least seniority. If he didn't stand at the end, who would stand at the end?

Everyone waited and waited, from standing straight and silent at the beginning to bending over and stomping their feet in sweat, from three poles in the sun until the sun was high, waiting for an hour, but Governor Wang, who has always been vigorous and resolute, has never been seen.

"Master Wu, you are the one we have the best friendship with Mr. Wang, Mr. Wu, do you want to go and have a look at the back?" Chief Minister Zhao said to the procurator Wu Wen.

Wu Wending shook his head again and again, he was already quite familiar with Lord Wang Shouren, and knew that he must have deep meaning in doing this, how could he destroy Lord Wang's wonderful strategy?

Mr. Zhao was about to persuade him again, when he heard footsteps coming from behind the screen, two servants from the governor's yamen came out, and shouted viciously: "Master Governor Wang is here, who is making noise here! "

This roar pushed Mr. Zhao's words back into his stomach, and made the other adult almost spit tea out of his mouth in fright. He stretched his neck and rolled his eyes. He almost died of choking, and an official next to him helped With the power of his palm, he patted his anger smoothly. At this moment, Shi Shi suddenly walked out from behind the screen, an adult who stunned everyone.
