back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 879 Commercial law is not vegetarian

"That's right, you didn't take money from the officials. But if you don't think about it, the current emperor has long adhered to the tradition of Duanmu, the so-called 'a gentleman loves money, and he takes it in the way'. But you use the power of your position for your own self-interest, the emperor How can it be tolerated? In my opinion, it is better for you to apologize in the morning, than for the Supervision Department to take you to prison!" Cai Bian felt sorry for his brother.

Yes, Cai Jing does have means, brains, and will "become" an official.If the emperor is changed, maybe he can quickly climb to the center.It's a pity that there is an emperor whose eyesight can't tolerate sand, and he is doomed to tragedy.

Dashun's criminal law is not vegetarian.

Those who defy the law by themselves are tragic.

After Lu Chengqi emphasized the "Law of the Great Shun", no one dared to go beyond the boundaries of the law.Maybe these scholars dare to do things against their will, but absolutely no one dares to do illegal things.It's hard to say for ordinary people, after all, not everyone is like Cai Bian, who has read all the national codes.We must know that Cai Bian was smart and enlightened since he was a child, and he studied in Qingluo Caotang (Houyi Huixin Academy) in Fengting Tower. Enlightenment readings are fluent, and the classics of "Four Books" and "Five Classics" are also familiar by heart. Moreover, historical records, local chronicles, and miscellaneous theories of a hundred schools of thought can be read everywhere, and they can all be compared by analogy.He is knowledgeable, full of economics, outstanding talent, and well-known in the village.

Cai Jing's knowledge is also good, and his calligraphy is even more amazing.It's a pity that people are more cunning and greedy. It's this kind of character that people don't like.He said in a daze: "My dear brother, is this really the case?"

"Really! I don't want you to die in the Supervision Prison, I would rather you not be this official!" Although Cai Bian had always been at odds with his brother, he couldn't just watch him die!

Think back to how many times Cai Bian persuaded Cai Jing, telling him not to bend his waist for a few pennies.But Cai Jing's greed was beyond his expectation.

"How to write the memorial?"

Cai Jing also knew that this day would eventually come, so he couldn't help but despair.

"Apologize for the crime, I am willing to confiscate all the illegal gains!" Cai Bian said mercilessly.

"What, don't you even lose money?"

Hearing this, Cai Jing almost jumped up, "This is my lifeline! No, no!"

Cai Bian said coldly: "Do you want life or money? Brother, why you still can't see clearly, the current emperor is a Mingjun, and he has to hold back his strength to be an emperor through the ages, comparable to Qin Huang, Han Wu. You are pulling the Holy One back, and the Holy Majesty will not punish you to death? If you admit your mistake obediently, you can still save your life, otherwise, if you use you as an excuse, the whole officialdom will probably experience another bloodbath."

Cai Jing said in a daze, "How dare he do that?"

"Why don't you dare? Grand Master Yang was so famous back then, and his party members were wiped out? At that time, the foundation of the emperor was not stable, so he dared to do this, let alone now?" Cai Bian mercilessly exposed Cai Jing's last sliver of luck. , making him completely hopeless.

Cai Jing said puzzledly: "The Holy One, why did he have to do this? Isn't he afraid that Grand Master Yang and all the officials will force the palace?"

"The Holy Majesty may have miscalculated, but he has hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in his hands, so why be afraid of you, a little Grand Master Yang? With the protection of more than a thousand imperial guards and the escort of the Supervision Department, how can he be afraid of a defenseless Grand Master Yang? In front of swords and guns, you have to obey even if you refuse!"

Cai Bian uttered the truth in this world, and his words will never be able to beat the real sword and gun.Even if Grand Master Yang has the honor of righteousness, he still can't beat the emperor.Unless his hand has reached into the army, he has no capital to fight against the emperor.Not to mention that he has many taints himself, and in the end, can't he just rely on his status as the emperor's teacher in exchange for his old life?

It's ridiculous that Cai Jing still doesn't understand that the current Holy Majesty is just a smiling tiger, he might have been talking and laughing with you yesterday, as long as he has evidence in his hand, if you are indeed tainted, he can turn around and take you to prison today.Before the law, no one is an exception.I'm afraid that "the prince breaks the law, and the common people are guilty of the same crime" is no longer a casual saying.

Cai Jing was disillusioned and slumped powerlessly on the grand master's chair. Following the shaking rhythm, his face was ashen.

"You do it yourself! If you are really dismissed, I still have a salary, and it's not a problem to support your whole family..."

Cai Bian looked at Cai Jing with a livid face, and couldn't say anything more, so he could only leave.

It took Cai Jing a long time to make up his mind, and tremblingly wrote a memorial, which was sent to the post station.

As soon as the man stepped out of the mansion, more than [-] inspectors filed in and shouted: "The supervisory department handles the case, it has nothing to do with people, and everyone should avoid it! I'll go back to the Supervision Department!"

"Clang when..."

The fine porcelain teacup in Cai Jing's hand fell to the ground and shattered.He did not expect that the supervisory department would come so soon.

"What crime have I committed?" Cai Jing murmured.

"The crime of using power for personal gain! Come here quickly, you still have an official position, we don't want to use force!" the man shouted again.

Cai Jing seemed to wake up: "Where are you going to take me?"

"We have ordered you to be escorted to Chang'an, and handed over to the Ministry of Punishment to judge your crime!" The inspector said impatiently, "Hurry up, don't delay, if you miss the errand, you will be punished!"

Hearing this, Cai Jing felt a little more at ease.Fortunately, the Criminal Department is not the Supervision Department.The Supervision Department may not be reasonable, but the Ministry of Punishment should be reasonable.He is also familiar with the "Law of the Great Shun", and knows that his crime is not worthy of death, but at most he will lose his job and become a citizen, and he will never be an official.

"Okay, I'll go with you, and let me change into clothes..." Cai Jing said lightly.

"Delivery envoy, I'm afraid you won't be able to do what you want. Since we came in, the things on your mansion don't belong to you anymore. We will clarify your illegal gains one by one. Let's go!"

Cai Jing didn't expect that he was still in great glory yesterday, but today he became a prisoner.Life is full of ups and downs, it is too fast.

"I regret it, I regret it! Yuandu (Cai Bian's word), brother, you shouldn't ignore your faithful advice!" Cai Jing looked up to the sky and sighed, and could only go obediently. Fast horse.

Cai Jing was not used to riding a horse, so he was dizzy and his head was swollen: "This inspector, dare to ask my family what to do?"

"Someone will arrange his accommodation, so you don't have to worry about it." The inspector said lightly, "Drive!"

In the government office of the prefect of Jiangning Prefecture, Cai Bian, who was handling official business at first, heard the news that Cai Jing was taken away. The brush in his hand fell off on the table, and he was shocked and said inexplicably: "The Supervision Department is moving so fast? Where will the elder brother be suppressed?"

"I heard that they are going to Chang'an, and the case will be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice." Cai Jing's housekeeper said sobbing.

Only then did Cai Bian feel relieved, and said: "It's okay, the Holy Majesty doesn't want to kill any more, brother's life should be safe. If that's the case, you take all your family members to my house and live there for a while. Sigh "Brother, this person didn't turn his head until he hit the south wall, if he knew this, why did he do it in the first place!"
