The atmosphere in the main hall of Xiao Tang's mansion was depressing and suffocating. At this time, Xiao Tang was sitting upright. He thought to himself: What should have come has come, but this time he was framed by the old thief Gao Qiu in the White Tiger Festival Hall.
But it's not just Lin Chong, there's even Yang Zhi who has endured his humiliation to this day in order to establish a career on the battlefield.
In fact, with Lin Chong and Yang Zhi's temperament, even if they were dissatisfied and angry with Gao Qiu, as long as there was a chance to serve the court with innocence, Gao Qiu could use his power to give them orders. Just like the Water Margin.
When Zhong Gao Qiu mobilized Shi Jiedu to conquer Liangshan, according to the temperament of Wang Huan, Zhang Kai, Han Cunbao and others, how could they be loyal to Gao Qiu wholeheartedly? Because it was not Gao Qiu who could make these heroes bow their heads, but Gao Qiu.
Huizong of the Song Dynasty behind Gao Qiu, and the huge empire of the Song Dynasty.
However, Gao Qiu, who was very obedient in front of Song Huizong, still exposed his rogue origins, narrow-minded and suspicious nature when he was in power. Gao Qiu not only wanted people who could be used, but also needed people.
A group of dogs that wagged their tails and begged for mercy and obeyed him respectfully. Even if Lin Chong and Yang Zhi swallowed their anger, they would never betray their personalities. What's more, both of them were closely related to him. I'm afraid this was Gao Qiu's choice to scare the monkeys and use them.
The biggest reason to start...
There was a crisp sound, and Lu Zhishen, who couldn't hold himself back, smashed the table next to him with his palm. His newly sprouted beard stood upright like a steel needle, and he said angrily: "A dog official and a beast! How dare you use such a low-level threesome?"
He used cruel methods to trap his brother and Yang Junjun. Didn’t that thief Gao Qiu falsely accuse his brother of breaking into a military base in order to get his head? The Sa family really went to the White Tiger Hall and smashed that guy’s head with a stick! "
Except for Lu Zhishen, Hua Rong, Shi Xiu, Zheng Tianshou and others in Fuzhong all had bloodshot eyes and angry faces, but even Lu Zhishen knew it very well. This was Bianliang, Tokyo, an important place in the capital, and it was Xiao and Tang.
In anger, he gave up his important official position, went to rob a prison, broke into the palace of the palace commander, and then broke out of Bianjing City where 800,000 forbidden troops were stationed? This is simply a fool's dream.
Hua Rong clenched his fists tightly, and gritted his teeth and said angrily: "I'm afraid that the old thief Gao Qiu is trapping the two brothers just to frighten the soldiers in the capital who are close to brother Xiao Tang! How can you be so petty?
"Hey, if my brother doesn't have a way to deal with it, wouldn't he be fulfilling Gao Qiu's intention of being a thief and a beast?"
"The most important thing now is not to let brother and brother Yang Zhi be harmed by Gao Qiu." Xiao Tang suddenly said, and then he asked Shi Xiu: "Sanlang, brother and brother Yang Zhi were taken to Kaifeng.
Government, how is the situation now?"
Shi Xiu stood up and replied: "Now brother Lin Chong's father-in-law Zhang is going to buy a lawsuit and use money and silk to manage the relationship. Brother Yang Zhi's family members are not in the capital, and there is no one to look after him. Brother, should we give him a chance to take care of the case?
With gold and silver eyes, how considerate is Brother Yang Zhi?"
After Xiao Tang heard what Shi Xiu said, he suddenly asked: "Do you know who the person on duty in this case is, Sanlang?"
Shi Xiu replied: "According to my inquiries, it is a Kong Mu named Sun Ding in Kaifeng Mansion."
Since Sun Fo's son Sun Ding is still in charge of Lin Chong and Yang Zhi's cases, their lives are not in serious danger... Xiao Tang was determined, and he said: "I heard that Kong Mu Sun Ding is the most cunning person.
He was straight and very good-hearted. If he had been on duty, most of the lives of his brother and Yang Zhi would have been saved... Sanlang followed the usual custom and went to visit Sun Kongmu, just to find out about him.
His tone of voice. This person has an upright character and does not need to use force to coerce him, but he is prone to making mistakes."
The upright and good official Sun Fo'er and Sun Ding, who followed the original path and advised the governor of Kaifeng, and tried his best to save Lin Chong's life, had just questioned Lin Chong on Yang Zhi's alleged crime of plotting to assassinate Shangguan. He was
Putting aside the lawsuit file, Sun Ding couldn't help but frown after reading the case with many flaws. The two of them, holding a sharp blade together, broke into the White Tiger Festival Hall of the Palace Commander's Mansion as if there was no one around, but were caught by Gao Qiu who happened to be there.
The soldiers of the Marshal's Mansion were arrested in public at that time, and the so-called witnesses were all close confidants of Gao Qiu. They all insisted that Lin Chong was drunk, and Yang Zhi once revealed the motive and plan to murder his immediate boss...so...
Who wouldn't be able to stop this blatant trap?
Then Gao Qiu really didn't take the country's laws into consideration.
There have been precedents in Bianjing City where girls from three good families were raped by Gao Yanei and committed suicide in shame and anger. However, after all, Gao Qiu was a popular person among the officials. Even if Sun Ding was determined to get rid of him, he was just a mere first-term official.
How can a small official punish the crimes of such a powerful playboy? The case file says that Lin Chong's wife first had a "misunderstanding" with Gao Yanei at the Yuemiao Temple, and then she became resentful and went with Yang Zhi, who had always been disobedient to Gao Qiu, to assassinate Gao Qiu.
....Thinking back to the precedent of Lin Chong's sworn brother Xiao Tang slapping Gao Yanei, Gao Qiu's motive for murdering Lin Chong and Yang Zhi can be said to be obvious.
However, Kaifeng Prefecture Teng Prefecture Yin received Gao Qiu's hint that he wanted to punish Lin Chong. Yang Zhi and Yang Zhi attempted to assassinate Shangguan and should be executed for serious crimes. Although Qu Prefecture Yin was unwilling, he was wary of Gao Qiu's power. When he was in a dilemma, Sun Ding could only care.
One sentence: "It turns out that Nanya Kaifeng Mansion does not belong to the imperial court, but to Gao Taiwei's family."
The Teng Prefecture Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture, who still had some dignity and temperament, was inspired by Sun Ding and made up his mind not to sentence Lin Chong and Yang Zhi to death. However, he did not dare to acquit them, and it was a waste of his alliance with the powerful Gao Qiu.
Liang Zi. In desperation, he and Sun Ding weighed it again and again, and decided that Lin Chong and Yang Zhi "had sharp swords hanging on their waists and strayed into the festival hall; twenty-spine canes were used to stab them far away from the evil military state".
On the day of the trial, Xiao Tang, Lu Zhishen, Shi Xiu, Yan Qing and other confidants, as well as Lin Chong's father-in-law Zhang, gathered at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion. Only Mrs. Lin was haggard and sick after Lin Chong was framed.
The coach then ordered his maid Jin'er to take care of his daughter at home and let her know after the verdict was decided. When the officials from the government came out to report Lin Chong and Yang Zhi's decision to assassinate him and send him to Cangzhou, although everyone was sad, angry and depressed, they were also Panasonic.
Take a breath.
At this time, Coach Zhang, who was already in his fifties, seemed to have aged by more than ten years. His face was full of sadness and resentment. He had a good relationship with Lin Chong's father, Lin Yong, and had watched Lin Chong grow up.
Damn, he knows very well what kind of person he is as a virtuous son-in-law, and how can he be so blind that he wants to harm such an honest, easy-going, self-righteous and humble gentleman!?
Xiao Tang stepped forward and said to Coach Zhang: "Coach Zhang, since my brother has saved his life, you can't be too worried. The younger generation will take care of other things. Now I ask the coach to report to my sister-in-law and collect some clothes."
The package... is for my brother and Yang Jun."
Instructor Zhang sighed miserably, filled with resentment and just bowed his hands to Xiao Tang and said: "This will make Master Xiao troublesome..."
Not long after Coach Zhang left, Kong Mu and Sun Ding walked out of the Kaifeng government office. When Shi Xiu saw it, and was about to clasp his fists to thank Sun Ding, Sun Ding stuffed two bags into Shi Xiu's arms and said
: "This package of gold and silver is returned to you. Since Mr. Xiao in your house is close to Coach Lin, I will trouble you to return this package of wealth and silk to Coach Lin's father-in-law."
Even the shrewd and capable Shi Xiu was startled by Sun Ding's sudden move. Xiao Tang stepped forward and said to Sun Ding: "If Sun Kong hadn't been so comprehensive, I'm afraid all the framed enemies would have died innocently."
, It’s just a small show of gratitude, so why should Sun Kongmu refuse?”
Sun Ding looked at Xiao Tang. After all, he was born in Kong Mu, who had been in charge of litigation for many years, and his eyes were very vicious. When Sun Ding saw the attitude of Shi Xiu and others towards Xiao Tang, as well as Xiao Tang's demeanor, words and deeds, he was already
I expected that this person was Xiao Tang, the Marquis of Yu in the palace.
"It turns out it's Mr. Xiao, Xiao Ke is polite." Sun Xiang, who was an official, bowed to Xiao Tang and said, "Although many state officials in various prefectures have a routine, Xiao Ke also knows that if this money is not
Take it, Coach Zhang will inevitably feel uneasy. But if I reach out for money to judge the case, wouldn’t I be the same as those idiots in the country?"
"I pay my salary, and the people support the people. The people are easy to abuse, but the heaven is hard to bully." Xiao Tang nodded and praised: "Although I heard that Sun Fo'er is wise, he is indeed an upright man praised by everyone in the capital."
Sun Ding smiled miserably and said: "Master Xiao, you are overly praised. Instructor Lin and Yang Junshi are clearly innocent, but they are still being punished for no reason. How can Xiao Ke'an be called Kong Muguan, who investigates and prosecutes cases?"
Can he be regarded as an upright person?"
Xiao Tang shook his head and said: "It is really commendable that Sun Kongmu can do this without fearing the power of Captain Gao. But if Gao Qiu knew that Sun Kongmu wanted to protect the lives of my brother and Yang Jun, I'm afraid he would also
I will inevitably bear a grudge against you. If Gao Qiu pursues the case in the future and Xiao is needed, Xiao will do his best to help."
"If there is a way in the world, you will die for the way. If there is no way, you will die for yourself. I have never heard of anyone who sacrificed himself for the way. Although Xiao Ke is just a small official, he should do his best to correct the laws of the Song Dynasty, but he is not
In order to ask for such a favor from Mr. Xiao." Sun Ding said calmly: "Besides, the country clearly has laws. If it really comes to the point where Xiao Ke can only survive by relying on Mr. Xiao's protection... Why should Xiao Ke do it again?
Will you survive?"
Before Xiao Tang could speak, Sun Ding smiled calmly and said: "After the official has received the documents and sent the custody certificate, Coach Lin and Military Envoy Yang will be escorted to Cangzhou. Mr. Xiao still has to go and prepare for the two of them.
Please see me off, if you get the chance in the future, I can have a long talk with Mr. Xiao."
