v5 Chapter 726： Dou E's injustice, the nest of upright officials

Chapter 726

The affairs of the imperial court soon spread throughout Zhongjing like a gust of wind. For a while, the teahouses and wine houses were full of discussions, even the brothels.

Everyone knew that when Chen Luo took office as Minister of Law, there would definitely be new ideas, but they didn't expect the new ideas to come so quickly.

The people of Daxuan are procuratorates?

It is the first time that the name of the yamen is crowned with the words "Daxuan people".

What kind of department is this?

Everyone was waiting with curiosity and anticipation for more details about this yamen.

…

"snort!"

In an official mansion, the old man sitting in the guest seat snorted coldly, looked at Xu Qian who was drinking tea calmly in the main seat, and said angrily, "Master Xu, why didn't Yushitai protest in the court hall?"

"Let that An Guogong calmly expose the matter of the reform of the poor family in the biased place!"

"Do you know how much the old man and the family behind him have paid for providing so many cases?"

Xu Qian glanced at the other party with some disgust, quickly retracted his eyes, and said: "I am the royal censor of the imperial court, not the censor of your aristocratic and holy clan!"

"Did your Excellency misunderstand something? Or do you think I am the same as you?"

"What you said before is reasonable, so I agree with your statement that the bias should indeed be reformed."

"However, at the court today, what Chen Xiang said is also reasonable. The reform of the poor family will treat the symptoms, not the root cause."

"Since he proposed a solution, I think you might as well take a look."

"I am very interested in the Metropolitan Procuratorate he proposed."

The old man frowned: "Xu Qian! Don't forget, you are a child of an aristocratic family!"

Xu Qian put down his teacup, looked at the other party, and said solemnly: "I am also the imperial censor of Daxuan, the speaker of the court!"

The old man was taken aback for a moment, then sneered twice: "Okay, very good!"

"My lord Xu, I wish you a prosperous official career!"

After saying that, the old man stood up and walked away.

Looking at the old man's back, Xu Qian was silent for a moment, then looked in the direction of the leaning place.

Chen Xiang, can you see this muddy water?

…

At the same time, the old man who was in contact with Xu Qian got into the carriage and left Xu Qian's mansion.

"How unreasonable!" The old man was sitting in the carriage, still aggrieved, "This Xu Qian, dare to talk to this old man like that!"

"Go back and let your adults teach you a lesson!"

While he was still cursing, he didn't notice at all that there were two pairs of eyes staring at his carriage.

"Sister, what are you doing? Bury first?"

"Don't worry, follow me. If there are any accomplices, let's bury them together."

"Get it!"

After a brief exchange, the pair of figures followed closely behind the carriage.

…

On the other side, Chen Luo returned to his mansion.

The former Wan'anbo mansion was taken by Chen Luo to act as the editorial department of "Daxuanmin Daily", so when Chen Luo agreed to take over as Minister of Law, the imperial court rebuilt an An Guogong mansion in another place for the public. Chen Luo lives.

The old housekeeper Lu Tong had brought the six little gourd babies who stayed in Zhongjing to take care of them, so Chen Luo didn't feel any strangeness.

After playing around with the six little ones for a while, I passed on to them a method of cultivating the grass and tree goblins that the Qinglong Emperor had brought from him, and let them practice on their own.

Xiao Qi couldn't escape either, this time Chen Luo's letter to Luo Hongnu specifically said that he would bring Xiao Qi back together.

Humph, don't think wild, school has started!

After lunch, Chen Luo walked into the study.

Time to get down to business.

Chen Luo condensed his mind, sat at the desk, and spread out the paper.

For Chen Luo, it is not difficult to obtain the power of heaven, as long as he writes the strange text of heaven.

However, this time the article must be in line with the principle of "the Metropolitan Procuratorate" proposed by him, and at the same time, it must have the approval of public opinion.

this…

Isn't it very simple?

The so-called Metropolitan Procuratorate, to put it bluntly, means that people sue officials, officials investigate officials, use power to supervise power, and use power to sanction power.

Therefore, the key word is: overturn the verdict!

There shouldn't be too many stories like this in Chen Luo's dream flower forest, but after Chen Luo entered the flower forest, he directly chose the most ruthless one—

"Land, you don't know what is good and what is bad!"

"Heaven, you are wrong to be a virtuous and foolish man!"

"Moving the Injustice of Dou E"!

…

"The Injustice of Dou E", referred to as "The Injustice of Dou E", is one of the most eye-catching achievements of Chen Luo in the vast and bright cultural river of the big oriental country before Chen Luo traveled, and it is listed among the four major tragedies. Hand of Guan Hanqing.

Chen Luo savored the manuscript in his mind carefully, and he seemed to be able to feel the mournful wailing from that manuscript. He dipped his pen in the ink and started writing.

It is said that Dou E's mother died since she was a child, and her father sold the seven-year-old Dou E to Cai as a child bride-in-law in order to go to Beijing for the exam in exchange for money. Ten years later, Dou E married Cai's son, but within two years Cai's son died of illness, and only Cai and Dou E were left to depend on each other.

A local gangster named Zhang Lver forced Cai to marry his father, and then threatened Dou E to marry him, but Dou E refused.

Zhang Lv'er held a grudge, and came up with a poisonous plan. That is to frame Dou E for poisoning her mother-in-law, and use this excuse to force Dou E to marry her. Unexpectedly, there was an accident on the way, and Mrs. Cai didn't drink the poison, but Zhang Lv'er's father drank it instead. Naturally, he died!

After writing this, Chen Luo paused.

In the original work, the judge is the magistrate, fatuous, incompetent, and greedy. Chen Luo changed this role to the local magistrate of Kaifeng.

When a person died, the Six Doors would naturally investigate, and Zhang Lver planted the spoils on Dou E's head. Zhang Lv'er bribed the Kaifeng government order, and the government order transferred the case directly on the grounds that Zhang Lv'er provided key evidence. The chief arrester of the six gates didn't want to offend the Kaifeng government order because of this incident, so he let him go.

This is also a common situation that Chen Luo saw from the report papers in the two wooden boxes provided by Xu Qian in the court hall, which further highlights the connection between the six doors and Kaifeng Mansion. That's why the idea of ​​the Metropolitan Procuratorate to intervene was born.

The Kaifeng government decree who took Dou E into custody ordered torture to extract a confession, intending to beat Dou E into a trick and close the case as soon as possible.

Well, after all, I am a minister of law, and I scold myself in the article, so there is no problem.

Chen Luo sighed softly, I know, I know, this will damage the reputation of Kaifeng Mansion, but for the sake of the upcoming Metropolitan Procuratorate, I will bear it for a while, after all, Kaifeng Mansion is an older brother.

Don't worry, the palms and backs of your hands are full of meat, and your blessings are yet to come!

Chen Luo comforted himself and continued writing.

After this, the story completely entered the rhythm of tragedy.

Although Dou E was weak, she never dared to plead guilty to the crime of poisoning her mother-in-law, and she was unwilling to commit suicide. That donkey came up with another poisonous plan, claiming that if she did not plead guilty, then the person who poisoned his father would be Mrs. Cai.

Dou E was filial and knew that Mrs. Cai was too old to stand the torture, so she confessed wrongly and accepted the case. The Kaifeng government order quickly sentenced Dou E to death and escorted her to the execution ground.

Before leaving, Dou E was full of grief and indignation, resenting heaven and earth, and before execution, she swore three poisonous oaths based on her innocence.

One: the blood does not fall from the head, and the blood flies up to two feet, soaking in vain;

Second: Snow in June, covering the corpses;

Third: three years of severe drought in Chuzhou!

Subsequently, the executioner raised his knife and fell.

Pitiful for a beautiful head, it tumbles down; it's a pity for a loyal and filial daughter to die!

…

After writing here, Chen Luo stopped writing again.

Absolutely don't want to break the chapter here!

Because from here, Chen Luo will pave the way for the "Double Procuratorate".

In the original book, Dou E's three vows come true one by one, and at this time, the father Dou Tianzhang who once sold Dou E for money has also become an official. He was complained by Dou E's soul and knew about Dou E's grievances , rushed to Chuzhou, reversed the case for Dou E, and made Dou E wronged.

At the end of this paragraph, there is still no escape from the rut of interpersonal relationships. The person who finally solved the problem was Dou E's father, who made the entire unjust case personal and accidental, and did not solve this problem institutionally.

This is also a problem in the Daxuan legal system today.

Therefore, Chen Luo made some adjustments.

Dou Tianzhang obtained his fame and wanted to visit his daughter, but learned about his daughter's tragedy from other people. Dou Tianzhang wrote this matter into a memorial, taking the tragedy of his daughter as an example, criticizing the law enforcement and judiciary for collusion, disregarding human life, which caused shock in the court. The Prime Minister of the court proposed the establishment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to solve this problem, which was unanimously approved by the court.

Subsequently, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was established, and the newly appointed Superintendent of the Metropolitan Procuratorate designated Dou E's case as the first case of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. injustice!

This is the end of the story of "The Injustice of Dou E".

"Justice overdue!" Chen Luo finally sighed. Many people would say that justice overdue is not justice at all. After all, the damage has already been done, and the victim's loss may never be recovered.

But Chen Luo didn't think so. The salvation of the law was not punishment, but death. In the injustice of Dou E, Dou E is dead, and nothing can be done; but the meaning of justice carried by the Metropolitan Procuratorate is to minimize the emergence of new Dou E in the future...

…

Chen Luo put down his pen, and the manuscript of "Dou E's Injustice" just lay quietly on the table without any movement. For this, Chen Luo is not surprised. With the experience of "The Romance of the West Chamber", Chen Luo naturally knows that the spirit of the book in "The Injustice of Dou E" will not appear until it is performed on the stage.

but…

Could this book spirit be Dou E's wronged soul, able to pass on the grievances from all over the world?

Thinking about it this way, I still have some expectations.

After sorting out the manuscript of "Dou E's Injustice", Chen Luo stretched his waist and stayed up for several days without sleep. After all, he was still a little tired. So Chen Luo went straight back to the bedroom and fell asleep.

…

Lingzhou.

Qingshen Mansion is located in the southwest of Lingzhou. The mountains are Cui Wei and the mountains are continuous. It is jokingly called Xiaonanhuang. Although the government has been established, there are no counties under its jurisdiction and the population is not large. The population of the entire government may be about the same as that of a county government in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

But it is this Qingshen Mansion, every autumn and winter, there are countless scholars who go to this place like a pilgrimage.

Because this is the location of the famous "Buren Academy".

"Buren Academy", which means "Heaven is not benevolent, treats everything as a dog", although it is a Taoist statement, but it was greatly appreciated by the founder of this non-human academy, so it was directly decided.

No one dared to criticize this decision.

Because the founder, whose surname is Xun and first name is Kuang, is called Xunzi by people, and he is honored as the post-sage.

It was here that Xunzi proposed the concept of "law", opened up a road of Confucian legal studies, and taught students like Han Fei and Li Si.

Since the establishment of the Buren Academy, countless legal experts have come out, and the closest big names are Song Ci, who was conferred a saint a few months ago, and Cheng Nansong, who has now been transferred to the position of military minister!

In the minds of all students who seek the Dharma, this is the holy place for academic study. Unlike other academies who always choose to start school on a sunny day, the opening date of Buren Academy is in autumn and winter.

Autumn and winter chills are a good time for law enforcement!

At this very moment, a fierce debate is unfolding in the square of Buren Academy. Two teams of students are going back and forth around a bizarre case, citing classics and arguing about the division of responsibility.

This is the stage for the graduating students of Buren Academy every year. They will choose some controversial cases that have already occurred, re-examine and simulate the punishment based on the evidence that has been disclosed.

And this kind of punishment is often accompanied by the presence of personnel from the Yifa Hall. If the final conclusion reached by the student is contrary to the conclusion that has already been punished, it will be recorded and reported back.

Because of this, many unjust cases have been taken seriously, and their injustices have been exonerated. Therefore, such debates have also been called "little blue sky debates" by the people.

This year's "Little Blue Sky Controversy" was particularly lively, because with Song Ci's canonization, forensic science was officially recognized by the court and was eligible to be presented as evidence in court. Many cases in the past have become suspicious cases pending retrial because of the latest evidence from the autopsy.

Right now, the "Little Qingtian Controversy" has entered a fierce four-in-two stage. After all, four people only take the top three.

All the students came one after another, and those great Confucian scholars also sat down one after another, waiting for the start of the four-in-two debate, but among the great Confucian seats, there was an empty seat, which was extremely conspicuous.

"Isn't Chen Gongbi here again?" A great scholar glanced at the empty seat and whispered.

"Hey, two of these four people are his disciples! Are you here?" Another person said.

"Forget it, it's not that you don't know about his situation." A female scholar sighed, "He has never been interested in such occasions."

Hearing this, several other Confucian scholars seemed to remember the sigh.

"I heard that the previous minister of law wanted Gongbi to succeed him, but he was persuaded by the old mountain chief and appointed Song Sheng instead. That's why Mr. Gongbi resigned and returned to Buren Academy?" a scholar asked softly.

"Where did you hear the words out of context!" The female scholar frowned and explained, "It's Gongbi who has a problem with his own holy way. After talking with Lao Shanzhang all night, he resigned and came back to find a solution. way."

"He once said that if he follows his holy path, it's hard to say whether Feng Sheng will be successful, but he will definitely follow in Shang Jun's footsteps!"

When everyone heard the words, they all sighed insignificantly.

"It's a pity, when I came back, I was still in the seeking state, but now I am not advancing but retreating, and I have fallen into the second rank."

"That's all, let's not talk about him." The female scholar seemed unwilling to let Chen Gongbi be discussed by everyone, so she changed the subject and said, "This time, the two disciples he taught are not bad, and maybe they can win the championship. Who do you like?"

"Kuang Zhong. The old man also taught him for a while, and his senses are very good."

"I also thought it was Kuang Zhong, and the other... well, he is indeed a genius who happens once in five hundred years, but he and Brother Gongbi seem to be carved out of the same bone, and the pursuit of the holy way is too pure, like a divine sword , it's just... just over Yizhe!"

"Otherwise. Do you know what that kid's name is?" Another great scholar chuckled, shook his head and said, "Gang Feng!"

"Hai Rui, Hai Gangfeng!"

…

"Grandpa, don't you really want to watch the debate between Senior Brother Kuang and Senior Brother Hai?" In a thatched hut in Buren Academy, a boy fiddled with the fire to boil water, looking at the old man who was dozing on a wooden chair, asked.

The old man waved his hand: "No."

"Why?" The boy held the teapot, made a cup of tea, and handed it to the old man.

The old man opened his eyes slightly, looked at the little boy in front of him, and smiled faintly: "You are still young, you don't understand."

The little boy pouted: "Hmph, who said I don't understand."

"It's Grandpa who thinks that the law of the world is incomplete. It's like clothes. There is such a big hole in there. No matter how beautiful the clothes are, they are all rags. They don't look good and they don't keep warm, right?"

The old man was startled when he heard the words, then sat up and asked, "How do you know?"

Seeing the old man's serious face, the little boy said quickly, "I didn't say it, I heard it from Senior Brother Kuang."

The old man opened his mouth, sighed, and nodded: "Your brother Kuang is right."

Hearing the old man's affirmation, the little boy became even more interested, and said: "Brother Hai also said, Grandpa, you shouldn't have retired at the beginning, and you can't stop after this retreat. When you are a Shang Jun, you are a Shang Jun, and you always plead for the people. !"

The old man was not angry when he heard the words, he just smiled lightly, touched the boy's head, and said, "Your senior brother Hai is right too!"

"It's just... In the real world, there is no such thing as black and white."

"Your grandfather didn't have the ability to reconcile Yin and Yang, so he had to run back."

After finishing speaking, he looked in the direction of the square and said to himself, "Yes. This is the last time they will argue about a case without any hesitation."

"The old man should go and have a look."

Hearing the old man's words, the little boy's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the old man's hand: "Really? Grandpa, let's go there now..."

The old man stood up slowly, and said in his mouth: "What's the hurry? You Kuang Senior Brother and Hai Senior Brother must be the last two, there's still time..."

At this moment, suddenly a blue bird flew into the grass stove.

"Huh?" The old man was stunned for a moment, who would send him a letter?

The little boy jumped up and down to fetch the blue bird, took off the letter paper at the foot of the blue bird, and handed it to the old man.

"Grandpa, here it is!"

The old man opened the letterhead, and the familiar font came into view—

"Brother Gongbi, Zhan Xinjia!"

"It's been half a year since we left each other in the past."

"Today's letter is to implore my brother to go out of the mountain, return to the side, and help a junior. And this person may be able to answer my brother's doubts about the Holy Way!"

"This man's elder brother must have heard about it. He is the master of martial arts of the human race, and the current Dharma Prime Minister, Chen Luoye. Please make a memorial to the Metropolitan Procuratorate a few days ago..."

Chen Gongbi looked at the letter and looked down carefully.

"Chen Luo's body is the hope of the Legalists. Although he looks like the sky, he also has the help of a half-sage. However, things that are biased are like a mess. Many aristocratic and holy families are staring at him."

"Son Chen Luo is generous and sincere. He is afraid of being tricked by others, so he asked his elder brother to come out of the mountain and help him."

"Brother, Cheng Nansong!"

Chen Gongbi closed the letter and looked in the direction of Zhongjing.

In his eyes, he seemed to see a young talent who was helpless in the face of the storm.

Just like back then, after he had a long talk with Lao Shan, he was at a loss as to what to do in the face of the darkness in front of him.

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

"Legalist hope?"

"Forget it, it's worthwhile for an old bone to serve as an oar for a young man."

Chen Gongbi let out a long breath, looked at Xiao Tong, and said, "Let's go, go and see the duel between your brothers."

"The future depends on them."

The little boy quickly took Chen Gongbi's hand and walked out of the cottage.

…

Zhongjing, Anguo Gongfu.

When Chen Luo opened his eyes, he saw a face that was both happy and angry. The other person was sitting on the head of his bed, flipping through the manuscript.

"Red Slave?" Chen Luo came to his senses, "When did you come?"

Luo Hongnu looked at Chen Luo with a smile, and said, "Not long after I arrived, I saw that you were still asleep, young master, so I didn't dare to wake you up."

After speaking, Luo Hongnu looked at the manuscript in his hand again, and said: "When I was cleaning the house, I took a look at this manuscript and couldn't hold back."

"My lord, are you going to entrust us to act in "The Injustice of Dou E", who moved the heavens?"

Chen Luo nodded, sat up from the bed, and said, "How long will it take for the rehearsal?"

Luo Hongnu thought for a while, and said: "If the servant girl plays the role of Dou E, she will be on stage in three days!"

Chen Luo was overjoyed: "Okay, just three days!"

"Lu Tong!"

Chen Luo called out, and after a while, the housekeeper Lu Tong pushed the door in, saluted and said, "My lord, what are your orders?"

"Call all the editors of "Daxuan Min Bao"."

"I have new arrangements!"

After the chapter was published yesterday a teacher sent me a message.

The information said that I was wrong about the explanation of the poor family. In the history books, there has never been a book describing the poor family as a down-and-out family. In fact, it is the common people class. It is a kind of misunderstanding formed on the Internet to attract people's attention and spread rumors.

In "Three Kingdoms·Jiang Biao Biography", it was mentioned that when Sun Quan granted Zhou Tai the title, he asked Zhou Tai to "don't withdraw from a poor family" (don't shrink back just because you are from a poor family), and Zhou Tai came from a poor family and was a bandit , and later joined the army...

Well, probably so.

I just want to know, who the **** told him it was my book, why did he keep chasing after it. . .

I obviously did a good job of keeping it secret! !

I now suspect that he is spying on my book friend group! ! !

Society is dead. .
