A group of people stopped arguing and came in front of the three people. Of course, everyone in Luzhou knew Bao Zheng's name. All the students came forward to salute, and Bao Zheng returned the salute one by one. Speaking of which, Bao Zheng and these people were the same teacher.
However, Bao Zheng was awarded the Jinshi as early as the second year of Tiansheng. At that time, the students here were still a piece of soft flesh, and they didn't know where the smoke was coming from.
"We have guests in the house today, please take care of yourself. Please remember that after leaving this door, all disputes and debates must be left behind. Never speak nonsense, otherwise it will be unwise to harm others and yourself; and I
All of you are here to gather only to discuss intellectual problems. You can discuss articles, Confucianism and Law, but you are not allowed to talk about government affairs. The topics you and others are discussing today are beyond this scope. Wei Songhe and Zhao Zhibai are not allowed to enter for a month.
This door." Mr. Lu said calmly.
The students seemed to be used to it and were not surprised by such a punishment. However, Zhao Zhibai was a little unconvinced and muttered: "Wei Songhe was the cause. Did the students just refute him a few words and then sit down?"
Mr. Lu said displeasedly: "It's not that you don't know the rules here. What I said is for your sake. If you don't cultivate yourself today, your careless words in the future may lead to disaster. It will be too late to regret it by then."
."
Zhao Zhibai looked unhappy, turned around and walked out. When Bao Zheng saw this, he said, "Master, please stay."
Zhao Zhibai turned around and said, "Master Bao, what do you have to say?"
Su Jin frowned when he heard this. This person was disrespectful and spoke with the smell of gunpowder. This was true for Mr. Lu, and also for Mr. Bao, who was a fourth-grade official. He seemed to be either a stupid young man or a yameni with a backstage.
Young Master.
"I don't dare to teach you, but as an elder, I have a few words to tell you. The six arts of a gentleman. Do you know which ones they are?"
"Isn't it just etiquette, music, she, imperial edict, calligraphy, and numeracy? Does Mr. Bao think that I don't even know the six arts?" Zhao Zhibai's eyes had a hint of provocation.
"That's right. Since you know the six arts, why don't you respect the six arts? Can you call it understanding if you can only talk about it? A parrot imitates human language and speaks more fluently than some people, but how much does it understand the meaning of the words?" Bao
Zheng said with a dark face.
"Master Bao, are you comparing me to that flat-haired beast? Why don't you understand the six arts? I need to ask for advice." Zhao Zhibai's face was ugly, and his tone was not bad.
The students around him were whispering to each other, and although the words were not loud, they reached Zhao Zhibai's ears word for word.
"Look, this Zhao Zhibai's temper has risen again. He usually treats me with disdain, but he also has the same attitude towards Mr. Bao."
"You are a good old man. Didn't you see Mr. Punisher coming to visit Mr. Lu in person? What we were talking about was asking Mr. Lu to give good guidance to Mr. Zhao, but I didn't expect him to be so arrogant."
"Don't say it... I'm the executioner. If you tell me, I'll give you some shoes to wear when you commit crimes."
"Bah, bah, bah, childish talk, what have I done? Good things don't work, bad things do, so don't talk nonsense."
"..."
Zhao Zhibai's face was green and red, his eyes were glaring at the people around him, and he was about to explode at the sight. Mr. Lu hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "Don't talk nonsense. To learn from a gentleman, you need to cultivate yourself and be self-denial, but you like to spread these gossips. I don't know you."
Wherever the sage's books went, they were scattered. I still have something to discuss with Mr. Bao."
Everyone hurriedly bowed and dispersed. Bao Zheng looked at what Zhao Zhibai wanted to say but didn't say it. From the students' words, Bao Zheng basically understood Zhao Zhibai's identity. Since he was the young master who was promoted to a criminal officer, he might be the same as his mentor Mr. Lu.
There was some friendship, so I overstepped my authority to teach Zhao Zhibai a lesson, but it only cost Mr. Lu a lot of face, so I immediately kept silent.
Su Jin didn't know what the term "punishment officer" was. In this era, there were so many official titles. Who bothered to remember these official names? Just listening to what these students said, he felt that the term "punishment officer" should be a relatively big official position.
Su Jin guessed right. The official position of criminal officials in the Song Dynasty was indeed not small. Officials who were originally responsible for local prisons and litigation under the jurisdiction of various transport envoys were usually appointed by the imperial court. In terms of status and official position, they were actually above the prefects.
.
The only difference is that one is in charge of the military and the other is in charge of the criminal department. In some aspects, the prefect has greater power than the prefect. For example, a death sentence requires the approval of the prefect, while the prefect can only sentence non-death sentences.
, it can be seen that the power of the punishment officer in this regard is much greater than that of the prefect.
In many state capitals, strange ways of death such as beatings to death, illness, hanging, starvation, and violent death often occur in jails. This is related to this system. If the prefect wants to kill someone, he will never follow the rules.
It is common practice to report to the criminal officer for approval, but it is safer to use some unconventional means.
Although the sentencing officer has the power to review and accept complaints, most state government offices have a good relationship with the sentencing department. Everyone turns a blind eye. Hello, I am ok, everyone is safe and sound.
Just sit in your seat, no one will be so stupid as to ignore the other person's seriousness to the end.
Su Jin was very interested to see if Bao Zheng would still be merciless after hearing that Zhao Zhibai was the son of an official. He had already heard that Bao Zheng had reprimanded Zhao Zhibai for not obeying the word "ritual" in the Six Arts of Confucianism, but
Seeing that Bao Zheng actually stopped talking, he was slightly disappointed.
However, what people didn't expect was that Zhao Zhibai actually fought back. The crowd dispersed, but he did not walk away. Instead, he frowned and said: "Master Bao, you haven't answered what I said. You are being treated like a flat-haired beast for no reason.
I want to know why? Even my father has never said these words to me."
Master Lu knew something was going to happen as soon as he heard this. Bao Zheng was as fierce as fire. Zhao Zhibai didn't know how to advance or retreat but provoked him. Wasn't he looking for trouble? He hurriedly pulled Bao Zheng under the tree.
Su Jin originally had the mentality of just watching the excitement, expecting to see Bao Zheng's volcano erupt, but now seeing Mr. Lu's anxious expression, he thought: isn't this the time to win over Mr. Tixue's favor?
Bao Zheng raised his eyebrows and wanted to scold him. Su Jin was the first to laugh and said: "Brother, this is wrong of you. You can't say that."
Zhao Zhibai glanced at him sideways and said, "Who are you? What do you do?"
Su Jin chuckled and said: "I am an unknown person. Of course Mr. Zhao doesn't recognize me, but I have some personal things that I would like to chat with you. How about we talk aside and not disturb the two adults' reminiscing about old times? If you really want to ask for advice, you can also
There’s no rush at this moment.”
Zhao Zhibai was a little dazed. This kid was trying to get ahead, and he didn't know what tricks he was playing. Su Jin took his arm and dragged him aside while hesitating. Bao Zheng was also a little dazed, but Lu Tixue cast a grateful glance at Su Jin and took the opportunity.
He pulled Bao Zheng to sit down at the stone table under the banyan tree, ordered the boy to make some fragrant tea, and started talking.
Su Jin pulled Zhao Zhibai away staggeringly, and Zhao Zhibai kept saying: "What are you doing, what are you doing, how can you be so rude, pull and pull, let go quickly, how can you behave like this?"
Su Jin ignored his jumping around and pulled him behind a clump of flowers and trees on the east side before letting go. Zhao Zhibai was adjusting Zou Baba's clothes that Su Jin had grabbed, and scolded him: "You man, why are you doing this?"
You are so lazy, you and I are strangers, so what can you say to me? Do you want to teach me a lesson for Mr. Bao?"
Su Jin cupped his hands and said with a smile: "How dare you, how dare you? I admire Mr. Zhao so much when I see that he is majestic and fearless of his officials. I only dare to think about your actions but not to do them. It is for this reason that I admire you so much."
."
"You admire me?" Zhao Zhibai didn't know what medicine Su Jin was selling in the gourd.
Su Jin narrowed his eyes and nodded: "The admiration is like the endless stream of a river."
Zhao Zhibai said: "Don't coax me. You came here with Mr. Bao. Obviously we are old acquaintances, but you come to admire me and treat me like a three-year-old child?"
Su Jin frowned and said: "Brother, I have misunderstood. Bao Zheng and I have only known each other for a few days. My name is Su Jin and I am just a businessman in Luzhou City. How can Master Bao be willing to have a close relationship with me?"
"Are you Su Jin? Did you beat up Su Jin in Zhu Yanei? Didn't Mr. Bao argue for you in court? Why do you still say that you are not a close friend of him? If not, how could he offend the prefect and help you with this?
A small businessman."
"Um... well... this." Su Jin was sweating. He was so famous, and it was also a household name. It was not easy to tell this lie.
Su Jin rolled his eyes and lowered his voice: "Brother, I don't know. This Bao Zheng likes to be in the limelight and belittle others. In fact, I already had a way to escape. The prefect didn't want to do anything to me. This Bao Zheng
He insists on standing out and makes it impossible for everyone to step down."
Zhao Zhibai rolled his eyes and said, "Is there such a thing?"
Su Jinshai said: "I've never met you before. Is it necessary to slander the officer in front of strangers? If I hadn't hit it off with you, I wouldn't be willing to say this even to death."
Zhao Zhibai said: "After all, Master Bao is also kind to you. It seems inappropriate for you to say bad things about him behind his back."
Su Jin secretly cursed, **, now you are counting down the times to bring me down. Why didn't you think about whether it was inappropriate when you contradicted me in front of me just now?
The smile on his face did not change, he raised his hands and gave another salute: "Brother, you are upright and upright, and you are a true gentleman. But Bao Zheng thought he was kind to me, so he bossed me around. I, the great boss of Su Ji, was summoned by him.
He was just like a servant, no, he forced me to put down all the things I was doing and accompany him to visit Mr. Lu. I was the one who paid for the car, gifts, and attendants on the road, so I was really unlucky."
Su Jinxing let go of the nonsense, and wanted others to trust him. He had to offer some sweeteners first. What Su Jin offered was to slander Bao Zheng and establish the same empathy as Zhao Zhibai.
As expected, Zhao Zhibai's expression relaxed, and he looked at Su Jin pitifully and said: "Master Su, you are really miserable. It's up to me to ignore him. I didn't expect that Bao Zheng was rumored to be upright and upright in his official reputation.
But I didn’t expect that for such a master, someone else would have to pay for even the small expense of meeting Mr. Lu. It really doesn’t live up to its name.”
"It's just that meeting someone is not as good as being famous. There are too many people in the world who are looking for fame, and we can't care about it. It's just a pain for me. I was dragged here on a hot day. There is no one to take care of everything at home. The loss is huge."
Su Jin said with a sad face.
There was a hint of contempt in Zhao Zhibai's eyes. The more Su Jin emphasized his identity as a merchant, the more he despised him, but at the same time, he gained more trust from him. As a profit-seeking businessman, Bao Zheng merged with him.
There was no corruption or bribery involved. Who would believe it? dd
