Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 246 The Law
When the grandfather and grandson returned to Fengxiang Hou Zhang Long's mansion, it was already dark.

Half of the moon hangs in the sky, hidden behind the clouds, making it difficult to see clearly.

The old man seemed to be still sulking, and he didn't speak after entering the door.The father and son casually ate two bites of dinner.The old man sat on the recliner and took a nap holding the stove, while Zhu Xiongying stood aside, facing the large characters.

Even though he was out of the palace with the old man, his homework still persisted.

The room was quiet, only the sound of Zhu Xiongying writing.

"Big grandson!" After a long time, the old man said.

"The grandson is here!"

The old man half-opened his eyes and said, "Tell me, how should Zhang San's case be judged!"

Zhu Xiongying put down his pen and said sternly, "If my grandson is the supervisory censor, the crime is unforgivable, but there is an excuse. You said that in the lobby just now!"

The old man nodded, motioning for Zhu Xiongying to continue.

"Different from other treacherous and evil people, Zhang San murdered out of anger in his heart!" Zhu Xiongying continued, "A qualified official, or in a clear world, an official should think about why Zhang San killed, and It’s not just seeing him kill!”

"The so-called law is dead, but people are alive!"

Zhu Xiongying continued, "Especially in such cases where the people killed officials, the local chief officials should understand where the root of the matter lies. The same principle applies to other cases. Only by understanding this principle can we be vigilant!"

"Actually, although my Ming Dynasty has laws, it is still ruled by people in the state capitals of the world. The power in the hands of the parents and officials is huge. If the parents and officials manage this kind of civil affairs, know how to examine and discern, and know how to consider details, Xianglai's rule will surely be peaceful! "

"If a magistrate blindly pursues the so-called king's law. If a case is judged for the sake of judgment and justice for the sake of justice, then it may be a little biased. Most of the officials under the rule are cruel officials!"

"Take Zhang San's case as an example. First of all, he was blackmailed and insulted by officials, and he killed in anger after his livelihood was lost! The officials in charge of the trial must first think about why those officials exploited and blackmailed, instead of first thinking about why Zhang San To kill."

"Because extortion is the cause, and killing is the result!"

"While dealing with Zhang San, those officials who usually flaunt their power will also be punished. Otherwise, what will the people think? The people will definitely scold them in their hearts. Officials know how to bully the people if they don't have a good thing!"

"And if those official posts are not dealt with, other official posts will be even more fearless in the future, and the exploitation and sentencing will continue to be repeated!"

"Thus, Zhang San can be exempted from the death penalty, but he cannot escape the crime of living. And those officials must also vigorously clean up. If this kind of case is completed, it will be the best of both worlds. Not only will the people be satisfied, but it will also be a kind of restraint for the officials! "

Hearing this, the old man kept nodding his head.

He suddenly smiled, "That shitty supervisory censor is also a scholar who has been a scholar for ten years, and he can't see things as clearly as our grandson!" As he spoke, he cursed, "I don't know what to say about their elm heads. , or is it that their buttocks are always crooked!"

Immediately afterwards, the old man suddenly became angry again, "It must be a crooked ass, otherwise, today's **** censor would not ask about the extortion by officials, and he will punish Zhang San when he comes up! Damn it! What's wrong with people peddling along the street? They rely on their strength to eat, who is in the way? People are not allowed to do business, what do they eat? When people are starving, can the government give relief?"

"The eight generations of his ancestors know how to manage the people. We give them officials to let them govern the place, not to manage the people. Whoever can manage the people can be an official if you find a dog, and use them ?”

Zhu Xiongying smiled, "Grandfather, my grandson thinks this is because the laws of the world govern the people, not the officials!"

Immediately, the old man's eyes lit up, and he pondered for a moment, "Da Sun, you can say whatever is on your mind!"

"When we were in the lobby, the censor said Zhang San, since there are officials bullying you, why didn't you report it to the officials?" Zhu Xiongying continued with a smile, "Do you think the common people can sue the officials and win the case?"

As he said that, he paused, and said again, "Don't say you dare to sue, can you win the lawsuit, even if you win the lawsuit, what can you do?"

"There are different levels of officials in the world. Some are paid by the imperial court, and some are recruited by local parents and officials. But no matter what they are, they are all officials. Even if their exploits and extortion of the people are revealed, what can we do? "

"Most things are turned into small things. Even if you meet someone who doesn't rub the sand in their eyes, it's just a slap in the face."

"Grandson is saying a few more words. Officials have blackmailed common people and merchants since ancient times. Officials in the world are not all good morals. People are angry with officials, and they can't seek justice. If they are angry with real parents and officials , where is the reasoning?"

The old man suddenly said, "Didn't we formulate a big patent? Let the common people go to Beijing to sue!"

"But how many people really dare to come?" Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "It's not nice to say something about grandson. When you are still here, the common people will come to sue, but the descendants and grandchildren may not be!"

The old man looked at Zhu Xiongying, "Well, your father may not be able to tolerate people like this. He has been with those scholars who have been punished for a long time, and he feels that officials are more important than people. He thinks that people suing officials is messing things up!"

As he spoke, he laughed and scolded, "Would you allow the common people to sue in the future?"

"If the father doesn't allow it, even if the grandson has a heart in the future, he will be criticized by the court!" Zhu Xiongying looked into the old man's eyes, "Once some things are left behind, it is extremely difficult to pick them up again! Besides, it is extremely difficult to pick them up again! Here, you are the only one who has the courage to fight with the officials in the arena since ancient times!"

"Don't flatter, just continue with what you said just now!" The old man scolded with a smile.

"The laws of the world govern the people, but not the officials!" Zhu Xiongying said, "Even if the people are angry, they don't know where to start if they want to sue. To deal with officials, there must be conclusive evidence of the crime!"

"So what my grandson thinks is, why doesn't my Ming Dynasty have one more law that can restrain officials?"

The old man frowned and pondered, "Restraint? Officials who break the law should be killed. Why bother?"

"Throughout the ages, not every emperor has your guts and wants to kill for a long time!" Zhu Xiongying laughed.

"Damn it, you're screaming at your grandpa again!" The old man laughed and scolded again.

"The law binds officials, and criminals are investigated according to the law. There is an extra sword on the top of the official's head!" Zhu Xiongying continued, "Didn't you put many inspectors selected by the Imperial Academy all over the world? Is there any Jin Yiwei?"

"I found out that today there are such officials who exploit the common people. When dealing with officials, the officials directly under them cannot escape the crime of dereliction of duty. If this is handled like this, the officials of the world will feel a little more scruples!"

"You found out that one kills the other, and if there is such a law, if there is no need to kill, there will be a deterrent to the officials. And if the people know this law, they will no longer be angry, and I don't know where to start!"

"Of course, this kind of law requires the establishment of a separate yamen to supervise the officials of the world!"

"Set up a yamen alone?"

The old man fell into deep thought, and the way he looked at Zhu Xiongying gradually became different.

"You boy, better than your father!"
