Chapter 038 Cai Jing's thoughts

Liang Shijie smiled faintly and said, "Li Dujian, Wendujian, do you two know why I didn't ask Kongmu, but I recommended the officials to discuss this matter, but I only asked you two generals to discuss it. Hebei and Shandong are frequently in trouble, and the expeditions and suppression are not good in various places. Even the people have complained about the government. Why? Because there are fools like the Nine-Headed Cyborg that harm the government, others have irritated their resentment to the government!

Since Xiao Tang is now very famous among the people, he will be very kind to him and let him use it for me. Not only will he have many benefits in the future, but he will also be judged by the official: "I think of Xiao Tang, Wu Song took the initiative to save the daughter of the Su family. Although he was framed and injured his life, Xiao Tang killed Li Shaohua in the long street to avenge his father. Although his crime should be punished, his feelings are pitiful, so he will be surrendered. How would they think of this official who is going to burn the three new Daming Mansion to stay behind?"

In theory, China now emphasizes the elimination of "law enforcement of human relationships". Xiao Tang's retaliatory murder can be directly classified as intentional homicide, or the nature of behavior in public places is extremely bad. However, in the Song Dynasty, Confucian society not only reflected qualities such as loyalty and filial piety in the judgment of the case, and blood ties were also the most important and even the only social bond at that time. Therefore, due to the propaganda of ethics, social public opinion will deeply sympathize with family affection, especially those involving parents, both public and private.

For example, in the Book of Later Han, Peng Xiu said: "If your father is insulted and dies, do you ignore death?" (If you insult my father, then I must fight with you, are you afraid of death?); during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Ji Chong of the Liang Dynasty said: "If you ask for death on behalf of your father, you should only increase the prisoners of death, how can you reduce it?" (I only ask for death for my father. If you commit death for death, there should be one more prisoner who commits death. How can I lose me?); even Confucius said: "If you live in the grudges of your parents, you will not be able to work together with the world.

Also. When you encounter a city court, don’t fight back and fight.” (Before your parents’ revenge, just sleep on a straw mat and wooden pillow to wake yourself up and not forget your hatred, don’t be an official and enjoy yourself, and be irreconcilable with your enemies. Remember to hold weapons at any time. What if you encounter enemies who kill your parents when you go out? It won’t be too late to go back and get them, you can just copy a knife and kill yourself...) There are so many famous sayings about avenging your parents for revenge or dying on your father. They are widely sung by Confucian disciples.

On the other hand, in the Tang Dynasty's "Tang Law: Fighting" stipulated that "those who criticize grandparents and parents are stolen" (as long as you dare to insult parents and elders, you can be sentenced to death immediately.) Although there are also murderers who are sentenced to death for revenge for their fathers in classic cases in ancient China, most of these cases aroused fierce indignation and debate in society at that time.

Liang Shijie is planning this way now. He said: "I have been trying to delay the outcome of the case in these days, just to see the reactions among the people of Daming Mansion. Now it seems that there should be a result..."

After hearing this, Li Cheng, the chief supervisor, couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, but he suddenly asked: "But since Xiao Tang dared to kill people when he was fleeing, and even dared to kill people in the street in broad daylight. He is a tyrannical wanderer. Such a person despises the king's law the most, and is afraid that he doesn't recognize the esteem of Lord Zhongshu."

Liang Shijie snorted heavily and said, "Since I can teach him to live, I can teach him to die too! But in these days, I don't think that Xiao Tang is a ignorant man who doesn't know the general, but Wu Songhun is full of a wild spirit, so he can't use such a person. However, since he has a great relationship with Xiao Tang's murder case, he is sentenced to be a military officer and a military commander. As for Xiao Tang... it depends on the reply from the court, and the role of this person is not just here..."

At this time, Xiao Tang and Wu Song's murder case had been sent to Tokyo Bianliang for review. Because all cases of major crimes (i.e. death crimes) must be submitted to the Ministry of Justice for review before execution. What's more, this case is related to the murder of the Su family. According to the system, the emperor also had to submit a letter to the imperial examination, which marked that "the love is important and the law is neglected, and the reason is pity." However, it was not only sent to the Ministry of Justice, but also sent to Cai Jing's mansion, which is currently in Kaifu Yitongsan...

Cai Jing, the three dynasties of Emperor Shenzong of Song, Song Zhezong, and Song Huizong, had just had dinner. He drooped his eyelids and calmly read the verdict sent to him by Liang Shijie of Daming Mansion, without any slight slight sensation on his face.

Cai Jing's eldest son, Cai You, a scholar of Longtu Pavilion, as well as Cai Chong, a guard man and secretary Cai Jing, two sons were also in the mansion at this time. Seeing Cai Jing finished reading the verdict quietly, they looked at each other and couldn't figure out what Cai Jing was thinking.

"This is a case of the murder of Su family in Daming Prefecture, the case of Xiao Tang killing Li Shaohua and others, and these letters, what do you think?" Cai Jing read the letter and the transcription and handed it to Cai You and others.

Cai You took it respectfully, and after reading it with Cai Chong and Cai Jing, Cai You turned the conversation and said to Cai Chong and Cai Jing: "What do you two think?"

Cai Jing snorted impatiently, "What else can I think? It's unreasonable for my brother-in-law to have a good life. My father is busy with all kinds of things. He decided that such trivial matters are, so why bother my father to take a look at it?"

Cai Chong secretly glanced at Cai Jing's face with his eyes and said, "The Xiao Tang was falsely accused of murder and avenged his father, which attracted the sympathy of the people of Daming Mansion. I see that my brother-in-law's new official took office and planned to sentence Xiao Tang and Wu Song to lightly win people's hearts. His uncle Liang Zimei also had some tricks at the time. His brother-in-law eliminated Li Shaohua and others, and sentenced Xiao Tang with his actions with kindness and power, and he could soon win people's hearts."

After listening to Cai Jing and Cai Chong's words, Cai Jing's eldest son Cai You raised his lips in a difficult manner, and Cai Jing and Cai Chong also stopped their mouths because they saw Cai Jing's pair of thin and long eyes, staring at them coldly.

Cai Jing was on the verge of the sage and the sect. Although he rarely scolded his subordinates and descendants in anger, he was stared at by his eyes as if his inner thoughts were completely exposed. With Cai Jing, a person who had been fighting in the officialdom for decades and had already mastered power skills, he had no need to scold him. Cai Jing and Cai Chong knew that Cai Jing was disappointed and despised by their answers.

"Ju'an (Cai You's name is written as a name), what do you think?" Cai Jing's traitorous eyes glanced at Cai You again.

Cai You respectfully bowed to Cai Jing and said, "It is actually no big deal to be sentenced to the death penalty of Xiao Tang and Wu Song, but it is just two people. But since the crimes of these two people arose because of Li Shaohua, Li Shaohua has become related to Zhao Tingzhi, the more he pointed out how pitiful Xiao Tang and Wu Song are, it shows how disregarded Li Shaohua is in Daming Mansion and ignores the laws of the king! The more he praises him, the more he is derogatory, isn't it Zhao Tingzhi's fault?

My father meant that while the official criticized the complaint, he handed over the matter of Zhao Tingzhi's son Zhao Mingcheng, who had been searching for the censors in the past, and he also bribed him with a lot of money. After reading the complaint and the memorial, how could he feel even more disgusted with Zhao Tingzhi?"

Cai Jing nodded then, and then said to Cai Jing. Cai Hui coldly: "The struggle in the court will not be a feud between life and death. Should we be wary of what political enemies will do and when to attack the enemy's weaknesses? If you think badly, you will never be able to get rid of it if you are not careful! How do you think the true nature has been through the past few decades of storms? Only by being able to break the truth of the family can you have a foothold in the court. What about you? If it weren't for me, how could you be worthy of establishing a foothold in the officialdom!?"

Cai Jing, Cai Hui was so scolded by Cai Jing that he dared not look up. Cai You even said that it was because his father was good at teaching. Cai Jing's eyes turned around on Cai You, and thought to himself: First, they would make me angry, but they would compare myself to their cleverness. Such a trick would be fine in the court, but they were still scheming in front of me at home. Humph! You are still too young!...

Of course, Xiao Tang didn't know the paper that determined his life and death. He turned it around in the hands of the famous treacherous minister Cai Jing in history before he was handed over to Song Huizong for criticism. Cai Jing didn't know the little person on this paper that he could kill with his mouth. In the future, he asked him, the most powerful minister during the Huizong period, to kneel down and look up.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji was indeed a complete foolish monarch, but he was not a tyrant. Among his complaints about the murder of the Su family in Daming Mansion, the crime of more than 40 people being brutally injured made him furious. After Liang Shijie instructed the minor official of Daming Mansion to write about how Li Shaohua wanted to cover up Mi Zhang's attempt to hunt down the surviving orphan of Su's family, how Xiao Tang and Wusong took action with righteousness, how he was framed by Li Shaohua, and how Li Shaohua persecuted Xiao Tang's father was vividly written.

What's more, how the nine-headed insect bullies the market, decentralizes goods and is fat, colludes with bandits, and bribes officials, Zhao Ji has also read one by one before. Seeing Xiao Tang avenge his father and kill Li Shaohua in the street, Zhao Ji even felt relieved. So he didn't think about it. Zhu approved the edict and made a large number of "accurate" on Liang Shijie's memorials......

In prison, Xiao Tang, who felt that he was almost being raised by Cai Fu. The Cai Qing brothers had raised him a lot, was finally summoned by Liang Shijie. This time it was not a case of promotion. Xiao Tang was invited out of the prison by a minor official and met with Liang Shijie in private.

Xiao Tang led the way to a mansion from the minor official. After passing the triple gate, he turned the corner to a hall. After the minor official summoned him, he called Xiao Tang in.

After Xiao Tang walked in, he saw Liang Shijie wearing a green, wide-sleeved and wide-body Yanju regular suit, looking at him with his hands behind his back. This was the first time Xiao Tang met Liang Shijie under the court, and it was also the first time the two met alone.

In his previous life, Xiao Tang could see many leaders above on some occasions. Some leaders were stooled, opened their mouths and kept talking about policies and regulations, but never put them on the point. Some were different. They may not look amazing, but there was a very strange aura in their words and deeds, which made people feel that they were smart and capable, and unconsciously guided by their words.

And Liang Shijie is the latter type of person.

Xiao Tang bowed and said, "Xiao Tang, a grass man, has met Master Zhongshu."

Liang Shijie looked at Xiao Tang quietly, and suddenly he said, "Xiao Tang, do you know your guilt?"
