Chapter 191 Honest people suffer!
Zhang Guangfu's intention is terrible. Just based on this, this is a human ethics case. No matter how Qin Rui judges, he will lose in the end. If he is sentenced to his son, Zhang Guangfu will say that it is insincere, reflecting the Empress Dowager and Prince Zhang Huai; if the old couple wins, then Qin Rui impeached him in the previous period was to slander the imperial officials for no reason.
This human ethics case is very simple to say, it is a dispute between adoption and abandonment. Twenty-five years ago, there was a very poor family in Xiuyifang, Luoyang. The couple usually relied on doing some small work to support the five children in the family.
Later, the woman became pregnant again and gave birth to a healthy boy. This was originally a happy thing, but because of the arrival of this boy, the family, which was not rich, became poorer. It really took a meal but didn't have the next meal.
In this era, if a newborn baby is not well cared for, it is easy to die. Their family is too poor and even older ones may not be able to support them, let alone extremely delicate babies. If you want this child to live, the only way is to give them away.
But they are poor and have been poor for eight lifetimes. Even if they have relatives, they are poor relatives. It is still difficult for them to make a living by themselves, let alone raise one more child, so they must find a family with better conditions and kind hearts.
After searching for half a month and thinking carefully, they chose a family on the street next to the middle. The male owner was in charge of the Imperial Guard. He had been married to his wife for some years, but he had never had children and had a wealthy family. It was a good place to go.
After feeding the child the last bite of milk, the couple put the baby at the door of the house. Then they felt guilty and were afraid that they would come to him, so the couple rolled up the bedding and took a few children back to their hometown.
Time flies, twenty-five years have passed in the blink of an eye. Now they are old, and their weak and sick sons have passed away one after another. There are only two daughters in the family who have been divorced by their husbands. The days when they are not rich are even more difficult.
Seeing that they were afraid that they would not be able to see their ancestors, they wanted to recognize their son. Because that family was a family of officials, they were inevitably suffering losses. They happened to catch up with the Queen Mother's donation, so the couple took this opportunity to stop them and shout for justice.
The day after Di Renjie arrived at the mansion to report, the imperial edict was delivered, with Qin Rui as the chief trialer, Ming Gui, the attendant of the palace censor Du Jingqi as the deputy, and the day to be heard in the main hall of the Sixing Temple. The empress dowager came in person and listened to the progress of the trial after the screen.
Ming Gui and Qin Rui were too familiar with each other, but I had never seen this Du Jingshi. I heard that he was promoted by the Yizhou Register. He was a straightforward official. After entering the court, he was with Xu Yougong, Lai Junchen, Hou Sizhi and others specifically in charge of the cases that the Empress Dowager was concerned about.
And there is also a very interesting saying: if you meet Xu Yougong, Du Jingqi's prisoners will survive, and if you meet Lai Junchen, Hou Sizhi's prisoners will die.
In the main hall of Sixing Temple, Qin Rui met with the "famous" Yushi Du, under the introduction of wise men. Not to mention from his face and words, it is not difficult to see that this master and the rumor are really "real".
"Mr. Prince Consort, the reputation of yours is so well-known. I finally saw the real person today! Sisi, it's such a hero!"
"Look, look, you are promising and promising at a young age. It is different from those of us who are dead-wrenching. They are so grand! "
"Hey, my husband, do you like drinking? Otherwise, we will find a wine shop, prepare a few hard dishes, boil two pots of good wine, and talk while drinking."
Haha..., he smiled awkwardly, and Qin Rui had to reply: "Civil Du is really unique and very enthusiastic!"
Ming Gui still knew Qin Rui's temper. He became famous at a young age, was appreciated by the Queen Mother and several generals, and is now the son-in-law of the current dynasty. Such a person can be invited by anyone, and he will drink it for a while. What a joke.
Therefore, Minggui quickly smoothed out the situation, suppressed the drinking matter, and brought the topic back to the defendant in the case. The empress dowager personally explained the case. Not only did the imperial guards come, but the prime ministers also had to listen, but they were careless.
"It's good to see brother, Brother Du, let's talk about the defendant! It's also a difficult person. Xia Guan Shangshu personally took the person in person yesterday, and his attitude was not ordinary tough!"
There is a common problem among the soldiers, that is, protecting the shortcomings, and Cen Changqian is no exception. What's more, the defendant Yuanwailang, named Wu Xing, followed him to fight in the north for more than 20 years and was the direct line among the direct line.
When I came to see someone off yesterday, Cen Changqian, who had always been taciturn, said that if Sixing Temple wronged the honest man this time and wronged his subordinates, then Xia Guan and their Sixing Temple would not be necessary. They would ride a donkey and read the songbook and walk around.
Don’t think this is just a simple threat. Sixing Temple has asked for more things to do. Without the signing of the cabinet department, the old men in the north and south yamen will not be able to get any face in the future. Without the help of the army, many things can’t be done.
"Brother Ming, what does Xia Guanjun Wailang-Wu Xing mean? What's the situation with his adopted son Wu Song?"
After hearing Qin Rui’s question, Ming Gui sighed. Wu Xing was indeed an honest and honest person. After he was involved in this matter, he felt wronged! Moreover, his adopted son didn’t want to go back, and the reason was very good!
Wuxing, a native of Luoyang, in the early years, when Cen Changqian was the centurion, he was the commander of his commander and belonged to the relatively old-fashioned type of person in the army. According to his military achievements, when he was Shuanxue's military achievements in his early years, he should have been promoted to a general.
But this guy is an honest man who can only pull the grinding and not crying. He can't become an official. He can't sit steadily when he is promoted. Therefore, the nostalgic Cen Changqian took him wherever he went. After taking charge of the Xia Office, he asked him to work in the Thirteenth Division, which was considered a stable life.
Wu Xing's wife died early. In order to raise Wu Song, this guy has been a widower for twenty years, both as a father and mother. He has worked hard to raise his adopted son, for fear that he would be angry with his stepmother and would be unhappy in the Wu family.
In Wu Xing's own words, he was just a stinky Qiuba. He didn't understand any great principles. He knew that this child was destined to him. It was God who favored him without heirs and gave him the child. He also promised his wife to take good care of the child and let him grow up safely and smoothly, so he spent half his life on this child.
But Wu Xing is not an unreasonable person. If the child is willing to return to his biological father and mother, he is willing to let go. After all, blood ties cannot be eliminated, and it is not easy for him to conceive ten months.
But it was Wu Song, who was adopted son who was determined not to recognize his ancestors and would rather bear the reputation of being unfilial and disobedient than go back. Naturally, Wu Xing could not force his child out!
