Chen Shuren calmed down and knew that he was too anxious to make plans, so he went back to the house that night to rest.

I had just recovered from a serious illness and was really tired. I fell asleep as soon as I touched the bed and woke up the next day.

After getting up, he first exercises and exercises, sweats a little, and then washes and eats.

When the Qingzhi cloth dish was green, the Shenshuren saw a bowl of turtle-shaped food, but the color was light and bright, and pointed at him and asked, "What is this?"

Qingzhi: "This is a cold cake made of Japanese agar and konjac in the kitchen, and the mint leaves from the master were added, saying that it was to relieve heat and relieve air - these medicinal materials were delivered by the guests who came to visit the disease yesterday."

Shen Shuren is unanimous.

The konjac technology in Japan is indeed unique, and it is made with the secret method of konjac.

But in the year of a major disaster, it would be too much to import some food from Japan.

In order to stabilize the situation, the Zheng family really invested in it.

Chen Shuren, with a critical and non-waste mentality, finished eating quickly, and the taste was very good.

...

After breakfast, Chen Shuren stayed in the study and began to think about what happened last night again.

He is still quite optimistic inside.

Isn’t it just an excuse to go to Nanjing? I have to make some excuses like myself as a playboy and a rich young master, and I have to cause something else to run away. There are definitely many options.

His first reaction was that when Xue Pan killed someone, he could easily run away, so he asked Jia Yucun to cure him, and he was not fleeing for fear of crime.

After all, this joke in "Dream of Red Mansions" is too well-known and has taught Chinese classes. Of course, he is so familiar with the top scholars like him. But his current character is too similar to the rich and evil young man like Xue Pan, and he also wants to go to Nanjing.

Once the idea is attracted by this wrong path, the subsequent bad water will surging out uncontrollably.

"If I also learn from Xue Pan, I will beat someone to death in Suzhou, and then 'flee' to Nanjing for fear of crime, would it be feasible?"

As soon as this thought came out, Shen Shuren was shocked by himself.

Fortunately, he quickly calmed down, sorted out carefully, and abandoned this ridiculous idea.

Xue Pan went to Beijing for another purpose, and was to send Xue Baochai a talent show. If he had made a mistake and wanted to avoid it, why would he go to Nanjing? Zheng Zhilong would definitely suspect that it was intentional.

Secondly, if you really want to lose the case, how can you join the Imperial College? Xue Pan is impulsive and has no brains. He is planning and then acting, so of course he has to do better.

Chen Shuren continued to brainstorm along the way and soon developed an improved version.

"Although real crimes are not feasible, what will happen if we study the "Ming Dynasty Law", carefully design the case, and find some illegal reasons, similar to "being brave and self-defense"?

As long as you can do it, it looks like a crime when you pick up words and phrases. But if you look at the "Spring and Autumn Prison, take the original intention", it is not a crime, so you can appeal to the upper party? By the way, you have to confirm whether you are going to Nanjing to appeal."

Only after investigation can you have a say, and you cannot be reckless.

When Chen Shuren was thinking about problems, he had a minor problem of turning his pen. At this moment, he waved his hand and knocked on the jade chime on the desk, making a crisp sound. After a few seconds, his companion Chen Fu appeared at the door and waited for instructions.

"Go and find a set of "The Law of the Ming Dynasty", and you'll be there soon."

Chen Fu was also not vague: "Young Master, do you have any instructions?"

Chen Shuren leaned on the chair of the mahogany master and rubbed his temples with a pen holder: "Then let's make another set of documents that stipulate the responsibilities of the various yamen in the court."

Chen Fu thought about it and said uneasyly: "I have never heard of such a book, but the 'Shistorical Law' in the "Da Ming Law" seems to contain these contents. Otherwise, I will first find the "Da Ming Law" and then find the master to confirm it?"

Chen Shuren was immediately a little embarrassed and quickly changed his words: "If you have it, then you need the "Da Ming Law" first, and I will talk about anything else after I read it."

Chen Fu turned around and left, while Chen Shuren secretly reviewed: his understanding of the laws of the Ming Dynasty was actually worse than that of a follower, and he mistakenly thought that the "Ming Law" was just a criminal law.

It seems that the newly selected followers from his father have been trained by his family seriously, at least they have read books.

After a while, Chen Fu found the "Da Ming Law" one after another, with hundreds of volumes in front and back. It made Chen Shuren feel a little overwhelmed, but he could only get tough.

He first summarized the main points and turned over the entries, roughly confirming that the "Ming Dynasty Law" is actually a comprehensive law that contains the same criminal law, litigation law and administrative law as a result of later generations. The content of civil law is also slightly more, mainly about personal obligations and land property recognition.

As for why there are so many pages, the books Chen Fu found not only include the original laws during the Hongwu period, but also the regulations added later-

Zhu Yuanzhang particularly disliked Sijun's "change and become law", so the terms of the "Da Ming Law" were not allowed to be revised for more than two hundred years. However, the early laws were too simple and many new things had no provisions at all, Sijun had to add examples.

The Hongwu law was only thirty volumes, and the "Regulations on Asking for Criminals" during the Hongzhi period added more than twenty volumes, and the Jiajing and Wanli dynasties added more than thirty volumes each, which combined into one hundred and twenty volumes.

Fortunately, Shen Shuren deliberately studied with specific questions. When he was studying, he was like using a search engine to hit the key points, and he flipped over the useless areas.

This efficiency is obviously many times higher than that of those scholars who are flooding the crowd.

In just half an hour, he sorted out the outline and figured out several key issues that he could use.

For example, he first confirmed that the Ming Dynasty no longer had the form of "judicial interpretation" like "Da Gao", which was a relatively common one in the early Ming Dynasty, especially Zhu Yuanzhang liked to use it most.

However, if you encounter a difficult case and the local trial, if you think it is representative, it should theoretically still report it. After review by the provincial criminal prosecutor and even the central ministry of justice, if you think it has promotional value, you will issue "learning model cases" in other places to improve your understanding of legal provisions.

Some grassroots organizations do well and even post the cases issued in the secret booth to explain to the people.

However, now the Ming Dynasty has become so decayed. For such things that can be "selectively discretionary", it is generally better to have less things than more things in the local area. Try not to report what can be reported or not.

But this doesn't matter. Anyway, the Shen family is rich and powerful. Chen Shuren will naturally have a way to ask Suzhou Prefecture to "voluntarily work overtime to report and request review."

After determining the system, the next question is to determine the unit that implements the system.

Shen Shuren is very beneficial in Suzhou. In other provinces, according to the severity of the difficult cases reported, some are under the supervision and some are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice, and they cannot be absolutely controllable.

But Suzhou belongs to Nanzhili.

In the southern Zhili area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, there were no three envoys including the governor and the inspector. The relevant work was directly managed by the corresponding yamen of the six ministries in Nanjing.

Therefore, no matter how complicated the case is, it is in the end the Nanjing Ministry of Justice.

It's OK.

Shen Shu Ren breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the final solution has not been found, the idea has been one step further:

He needs to design a case that seems to be illegal but is not illegal, but can make sure that it can cause trouble in Nanjing's Ministry of Justice. At that time, Nanjing's Ministry of Justice will take him away and interrogate him in person.

Once he is finally confirmed to be innocent, for example, he is "self-defense/superior act", then there will be no stains left, and he will be discovered with the flow. "So you are cured of your illness, so go to the Imperial College" and cook the rice directly.

Even if the tasks assigned by Mr. Yang were completed at the guarantee, the Zheng family could not obstruct it.

The remaining question is just how to design the specific case.

...

Chen Shuren was lying in the study, holding the "Da Ming Law" in his study, and he had no intention of resting when he saw lunch.

He is still recuperating now, and his father doesn't want him to pay his respects in the morning and evening, but he will still ask his maid to come and visit him at dinner time. If he hasn't eaten yet, he will shout it.

Chen Shuren had to put a bookmark in the book, get up and follow the maid through the Sanjin yard, bypassing a pond garden with Taihu stone, and come to the place to eat.

Chen Shuren's mother is dead, and his father is surrounded by Xu Xian's stepmother and a group of concubines.

According to the rule of "don't talk about food", no one said a word during the meal.

After the meal, the maid brought tea, and Chen Tingyang waved his hand to signal his wife and concubines to leave. Then he asked about his son's physical condition and what he had done today.

Chen Shuren also reported his ideas by the way.

I heard that my son wanted to take advantage of the loopholes in the "Da Ming Law" and set up a plan, but Chen Tingyang's first reaction was quite disgusted.

But there seems to be no better way at the moment, so he told his son to plan and then act and not to be reckless.

Then, Chen Tingyang assigned another thing:

"Although Zheng Hongkui came to spy on the scene a while ago, he gave so many gifts. Everyone did not break up on the face on the surface, so he still wanted to give him a gift. One day you think it's so quick, so go to the place where he stays to worship."

These words reminded Chen Shuren, and he immediately thought: "Father, since I have planned to take another way to Nanjing, I should lay some preparations for the Zheng family to calm down.

In addition, we should also find out the details in advance about how the Zheng family plans to operate Zheng Sen to quit school so that it can be targeted at that time. Could it be that after we promised to take the lead in pretending to be sick, they would dare to reject the invitation from the Imperial College?"

After hearing this question, Chen Tingyang was not worried at all, but he rarely showed a bit of complacent expression:

"It's rare that you think of this problem, and I have actually inquired about it for a long time. When the Zheng family first came to my house, I used the trick to ask and asked: "If everyone chooses to pretend to be sick and quit school, it is inevitable that it will be too coincidental and is afraid that it will be useless."

In order to let me cooperate, Zheng Hongkui had to reveal their plans. He said that the Zheng family would reply to the Imperial College in person and promised to let Zheng Sen go to Nanjing, so that I don’t have to worry about coincidences.

However, after they sent Zheng Sen to Suzhou, they would let Zheng Sen stay in Suzhou and show up a few times, and then pretend to be sick in Suzhou because "the southerners have never gone north and are not adapted to the local environment."

The Zheng family's forces are all on the sea, and Suzhou is still at the estuary of the Yangtze River. Here they still have the ability to ensure that Zheng Sen is safe and can go out to sea to escape immediately when there is any movement. But if they go deep into the inland and go to Nanjing, they will not be sure."

Chen Shuren nodded: "Since that's the case, we should make the Zheng family feel as soon as possible that we have the same heart as them, and encourage them to bring Zheng Sen to Suzhou as soon as possible, so that they can have a chance to cut the mess quickly in the future."

Chen Shuren knew in his heart that even if he finally concealed the truth and arrived in Nanjing without irritating the Zheng family, he would only guarantee that Yang Sichang would complete his mission and work hard.

If you really want to exceed the task, Yang Sichang has to realize that "even if the Shen family members go, the Zheng family may still shirk responsibility." Then, through the Shen family's operations, Zheng Sen was tricked to Nanjing, which was completely accomplished and gave Yang Sichang an unexpected surprise.

Since everything has been done, you must do it beautifully.

After hearing what his son said, Chen Tingyang felt a little fucked.

Before the previous step is completed, other preparations need to be operated in parallel. Wouldn't it be too rash?

But Shen Shuren analyzed with a trembling tongue: "Father, time is very urgent, so we can't come slowly anymore. You think, Mr. Yang asked Nanjing Imperial College to invite me to wait, although it was just a temporary idea.

But this year is the year of the provincial examination, which is once every three years. The scholars of Nanzhi will go to Nanjing to prepare for the juren exam in August. I just checked the laws of officials. The first few categories of students in the Imperial College can compare the treatment of juren and participate in the examination, but they all require that the registration of the juren be terminated one month before the juren exam.

In other words, if you complete the Imperial College Enrollment in July this year, you can only compare the current imperial examination and take part in the next year's examination. The court wants to encourage Zheng Sen to go to Nanjing as soon as possible. An important bait is to ask him to complete the registration in July.

Although it is impossible for Zheng Sen to take the exam with his knowledge, once he missed this window, the Zheng family could call him sick for a long time and said to the public, "Anyway, he has missed the opportunity every three years, so there is no need to rush for a while."
