Chapter 73 is as powerful as a bamboo
Dai Mill gave Wang Shouren a poem before leaving:
[out of the plug (two songs)]
The army marched into the desert and saw Hu riding from afar.
The battle to the death is four or five, and the day is yellow.
The defeated star ran, and the blood was sprinkled on the mountain.
High achievements are in the main general, and the south is back to the class.
The Han family opened its territory, and the poor soldiers chased the sky.
There is Dou riding in the back, and Huo Yao in front of him.
In the Ming Dynasty, literature and education are important. Who dares to invite the border merits?
When you come to chase the clown, you have felt that the warrior has withered.
Looking at these two poems, Wang Shouren left two lines of tears - "In the Ming Dynasty, who dares to invite border merit" was not only Dai Xian and Wang Shouren who saw this. Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, Liu Daxia, Wang Qiong... Which of these important ministers of the imperial court can't see through this? Can't the emperor see through it?
At this time, Dayan Khan, the little prince of Mongolia, ostensibly showed goodwill to the Ming court and secretly began his ambitious annexation plan of the Mongolian tribe! It's like you always have two hands behind your back, always ready to pinch your neck, although it will do something else for the time being!
Perhaps the shadow of childhood hardship left too many marks on Xiaozong Zhu Youxuan - he is a diligent emperor, but also a cowardly emperor. He doesn't want to cause trouble or provoke war, as long as he is stable! Under this sacred meaning, the ministers are even less enterprising, so this short rejuvenation is like a mirror, gradually disappearing with Zhu You's weak dragon body.
When the court was in a state of decline, cases occurred frequently in various places. Wang Shouren assisted Zhou Shilang of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to inspect Anqing, Huizhou and other places, and together with the local inspector of the imperial history to try and condemn the prisoners - most of these prisoners were sentenced to death. As a central official, he has the right to make a final judgment, that is, the power of life and death!
In the trial of these cases, Wang Shouren made full use of a principle - he can only be more cunning for cunning people and more hooligans! He often put a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War at his desk, and he is used to applying the wisdom of military books to all walks of life!
Huizhou has a husband who is addicted to alcohol and married a beautiful daughter-in-law. According to reason, he should love him in every way, restrain his body and mind, and live a good life, but his habits are difficult to change, lose all his family property, and come up with the idea of his own daughter-in-law.
One day, the drunkard husband stumbled home with a shy smile, saying that a rich businessman had long fallen in love with her and was willing to pay a lot of money to marry her without worrying about food and clothing for the rest of his life. The woman thought it was a great shame and resolutely disagreed, while her husband had accepted a huge amount of gold and agreed to it.
The woman cried on the spot, and her husband threatened to force her. Helplessly, the woman had to agree. The husband was overjoyed and chose to spend the night; he prepared a banquet to attract rich businessmen.
After preparing, the drunkard husband deliberately hid and scolded the woman for hospitality. The rich businessman happened to be delayed and came a little late. He walked into the room and was shocked: the woman has been killed, her head has been cut off, leaving only the headless female corpse.
The rich businessman shouted in horror and shocked his neighbors. The woman's husband also heard the sound and grabbed the rich businessman, saying that he had just bumped into the rich businessman and killed his wife.
The rich businessman shouted grievances repeatedly and said, "It's understandable that I like this beautiful woman, but a gentleman has a good way. If he doesn't follow, what's the use of force? If I killed her, wouldn't I get the same thing?" But the drunkard husband was afraid that the rich businessman would take back the gold, and it was the work of the rich businessman.
When Wang Shouren reviewed the case, the rich businessman had been imprisoned for a year. He doesn't think that rich businessmen are murderers because of greed. Moreover, he should escape after committing the crime. On the contrary, he called his neighbors.
Wang Shouren sent people to investigate the neighbors. Some people said, "There used to be a monk who patrolled the night here, but after the murder, no one was seen."
Wang Shouren immediately sent someone to visit the monk and found him in the neighboring village. Then set a trap - let a woman hide in the forest in the clothes of the dead. When the monk passed through the forest, the man followed the woman's voice and called him: " monk, give me back!"
The monk was scared and thought it was really a ghost. He quickly replied, "The head is in the haystock of your third neighbor."
The people who had already been ambushed in the forest rushed up and caught the monk. The monk knew that the matter had been exposed, so he had to explain honestly:
That night, he patrolled the street and saw that the door of the woman's house was half closed. When he didn't see anyone inside, he slipped in to steal things and entered the room to see a beautiful woman. He had a desire to** her. Unexpectedly, the woman resisted fiercely, and the monk killed her in anger, took her head out and hid it in the haystles.
The government arrested the owner of the third family, and the man said, "There is such a thing. At that time, he buried his head in the garden for fear of causing trouble.
The official sent people to dig, and indeed dug out the woman's head. As a result, the monk was sentenced to death.
Although the case was closed, Wang Shouren was still indignant for the deceased, so he directed another trick of pretending to be a ghost. When the drunkard fell asleep after drinking, he carried him to the cemetery and stripped his clothes in front of his wife's grave. ( Of course, this matter was not included in the case in the end.)
In this way, Wang Shouren tirelessly tried one suspense after another, but there were still people who committed crimes against the wind. The perpetrator was another monk, which shows that the monk had more sideline at that time.
The monk and the Qian brothers committed theft together. After the monk was arrested, he first confessed the two brothers, so the government arrested the two brothers together.
But a few days later, the monk suddenly confessed that there was no two brothers, and he did it alone. Wang Shouren first thought that the family of the two brothers bribed the monk, and there were naturally the benefits of the monk after being released from prison.
Wang Shouren picked up another complaint and said, "Since you have committed the crime alone, it's easy to finish the crime, but now you have been convicted and sentenced to death - someone reported that you killed a villager on the way to the robbery!"
The monk shouted for injustice. At this time, an official went to Wang Shouren's ear and whispered a few words. Wang Shouren used the excuse to say that there was something important and asked several vassals to follow him to arrest people, leaving only a few thieves kneel under the hall and two vassals guarding outside the door.
At this time, the monk danced to the two Qian brothers, patted their buttocks, and wiped their necks. The two Qian brothers were stunned. The monk had to explain angrily, "Before, it was to grab something and get a few boards at most, but now it's a murder case. I can't stand up for you. You have to testify to me!"
The Qian brothers said in unison, "You... went back on your back!"
At this time, Wang Shouren returned to the hall, called out the official hiding under the table, and asked him to talk about what he heard under the table.
Seeing that the Qian brothers could not deny it, they had to plead guilty in court.
Wang Shouren paused and said, "Oh, someone falsely accused you of killing. It has been clarified that it was done by someone with the same name as you!"
The government officials in the hall covered their mouths and laughed secretly. They have witnessed the "cunning" of the Qingtian master, but those who have bad intentions will definitely not have a good end.
However, even if some people realize this, they still feel that they have done it seamlessly.
There is such a pair of father and son Cheng Laoer and Cheng Xiaoer. It can be said that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, and they are often crooked together - this time they aimed at the widowed Elder Cheng and wanted to take his family property for themselves, but Boss Cheng obviously did not fulfill their meaning. He has been living a healthy life without illness and no disaster. , so that Cheng Laoer really can't see any hope in his lifetime!
Father and son together - kill him! So on a dark and windy night, the two of them drunk Boss Cheng, pushed him into the well and drowned!
The father and son hung him up with a cable and were ready to row and throw it into the middle of the lake, but Cheng Xiaoer said, "No! The new patrol officer has a little magical power, and I'm afraid he can't escape his eyes!"
So he thought of a more unique way: he had long seen his wife as unpleasant and had always wanted to divorce and marry again. Why not take this opportunity to kill her?
So he crazily chopped off the head of his sleeping wife with a knife, cut off Boss Cheng, put the two heads together, and said, "The world is jealous of the adulter ** woman. We killed the adulterer ** woman for the sake of justice, and the crime is very light! Only this method is the best solution!"
Their calculation is really good - people, they are right to kill, but there is a proper reason!
They really think it's beautiful, but Wang Shouren still intends to make this reason unfounded!
Wang Shouren quickly found two chickens from the kitchen. One had just drowned and the other was alive. He asked the chef to cut down the head of the living chicken, and then cut off the dead head. The two were put together and asked, "Look, what's the difference between the heads of these two chickens?"
The father and son who committed the crime in a panic were exhausted. When they saw the blood splashing on the head of the live chicken, and the head of the dead chicken did not bleed and the wound was white, they suddenly realized! I have to tell you the truth!
Wang Shouren is like this with lightning power (self-created continuous sentence), and the suspense cases are solved one by one!
The local people praised Wang Shouren as "Wang Qingtian", and Wang Shouren smiled: "I'm not a blue sky, I'm also looking at the blue sky!" People are doing it, and God is watching! There is a saying: In a good family, there must be Yu Qing - the villagers need to accumulate virtue, neighbors and get along well with each other, so as to live up to the emperor's kindness!" - There is no way to say a little high-sounding words!
The victory of this tour was over. When Wang Shouren returned to Beijing, many villagers came to see them off with eggs, flowers and steamed buns.
Zhou Shilang is a good official. Although he has done a lot of big work, he knows that Wang Shouren is indeed an extraordinary figure. Without his efficient trial, the task would not have been completed a month ahead of schedule.
Seeing that he was supported by the people, he was sincerely happy for Wang Shouren and planned to recommend him when he returned to Beijing to report his work. He also has his own reasons for planning to do this, that is, the human relationship with Wang Hua - Wang Hua is now the right servant of the Ministry of Ceremonies and a bachelor of Hanlin Academy. Push the boat along the water, the beauty of adults, why not do it!
On the way back, Zhou Shilang saw that Wang Shouren was quite involved in scenic spots and allowed him to wander around along the way.
After the tedious trial work, Wang Shouren also happened to plan to relax and refresh his muscles and bones!
Wang Shouren asked Yueyue for a map and immediately circled Jiuhua Mountain!
