The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

If they were really only doing it for Han Peng, this heaven-sent opportunity would be more like a trap to lure him to make a move.

Now it seems that Han Peng just happened to be at the right time and wanted to fish out of troubled waters to get the coveted Mrs. Wang, and Wang Chaoli's arrest had little to do with him.

This play is so complicated, several things are entangled in one piece, if you want to figure out what you have to do, you have to compete with them.

Han Pang, the unlucky ghost who thought he was lucky, Zeng Bu's Kaifeng government office, the innocent and not innocent Wang Chaoli, the Wang family, Qin Hui, etc.

Now, it's my turn to take the stage.

Chapter 157 Qin Hui's father-in-law's family

Wang Yu has been in office for three dynasties, and the internal and external regulations have been in place for 18 years, and the court's large collections have been handed out more.

From being in power to prime minister, it took 16 years for Shaosuo to build the Ming Dynasty, which was called "Three Purposes Minister".In the sixth year of Yuanfeng, he was named Duke of Xun.After Song Zhezong ascended the throne, he was granted the title of Duke Qi.

There are not a few such people who are disciples and old officials. His granddaughter was killed, which immediately touched the pain point of the civil officials of the Song Dynasty.

Qin Hui, as the chief family member, couldn't even get in a few words. Several of his uncles and brothers-in-law angrily questioned Jia Juren, the official judge of Kaifeng Prefecture, and trained him so that he bowed his head repeatedly and sweated on his forehead.

Jia Juren was honest and honest. He had never seen such a scene in the position of general judge in Kaifeng Prefecture. The dignified prime minister's granddaughter was killed, and it was found out that he had a relationship with Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rites. This is simply an anecdote from the Arabian Nights.

The Wang brothers are tall and burly, and they are dressed as scholars. They are still students of the Taixue. Now the Song Dynasty is trying to implement Cai Jing's admission system. A student of this kind of background will be elected as a Jinshi sooner or later based on his family relationship. of.

Where did they pay attention to the Kaifeng General Judgment, pointing their noses and yelling loudly, asking him to deal with Wang Chaoli immediately and find out who is behind the scenes.

It is a customary rule in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty that Xing is not a scholar-official. Although it has not been clearly written, it has always been done this way.

However, Wang Chaoli was suspected of killing the granddaughter of the former prime minister and the Duke of the State, so he should investigate carefully, which made Jia Juren very embarrassed.

"It was seen that day that Wang Chaoli's attendants sneaked into the Buddhist hall and killed my sister who worshiped Buddha. The master of Daxiangguo Temple testified to this matter, so the evidence is convincing. If you dare to attack my sister, there must be a traitor behind it."

Jia Juren wiped his sweat, nodded and said, "What you two said is that this matter is indeed strange."

"Then what are you still doing here? Hurry up and order the torture! My little sister just got married, and she got stabbed in the heart. Our Wang family is a family of poets and books. We are a serious scholarly family, and we have never had any enemies. , my brother-in-law is even more responsible, and I don't know which traitor did this kind of unconscionable thing."

After all, Jia Juren was an official, and even being reprimanded like this, he was still a little boy, and he felt a little angry in his heart.

But thinking of the families behind these two people, he could only hold back his anger and smile: "After all, Wang Chaoli is an official from the fifth rank. He has already entered the family of scholar-bureaucrats. How can he use those tricks to punish prisoners?"

"You say this, but it seems to be farting! You are a mere fifth-rank official, and you have entered the gate of the bird. Hurry up and interrogate Wang Chaoli, or a paper memorial will be reported to the imperial court, and you will be forced to leave."

Jia Juren slapped the table, stood up with a blushing face, pointed at them and choked out: "It's insulting to the gentlemen, how can you?"

Qin Hui couldn't stand it any longer, and persuaded him, "Jia Tong's sentence didn't mean that, why don't we go back and play, and ask the imperial edict to execute the punishment."

The two were polite to Qin Hui, waved their hands and said, "Brother-in-law, you go back to deal with my sister's funeral first, and leave it to us to handle it here."

Qin Hui couldn't see the behavior of the two, lowered his head and sighed, and walked out of the government office.

After Wang's death, Qin Hui thought of her benefits again. Although this wife had a hot temper, she actually helped him a lot.

If he hadn't married her, he might not have been able to get ahead even if he had always entered the imperial academy, and even if he was mentioned, his official career would go smoothly like now.

Now that his wife is dead, the Wang family may not be willing to support him in the future, and the backer that he finally hoped for is gone.

Although Wen Yuan is powerful now, he doesn't have the background of these wealthy families. If he rushes to vote, he will ruin the friendship between classmates that should be equal. Second, he is afraid that he will make too many enemies.

Qin Hui, who was so entangled in his heart, returned to the mansion with self-pity, leaving behind two uncles to put pressure on the Kaifeng mansion.

The Wang brothers uttered obscenities, which made an honest literati Jia Juren blush with anger, and simply ignored them, saying that it was nothing they said about this matter, just go back and wait for news from the yamen.

Eldest brother Wang Huan heard it, and sneered, "You are still here to exert authority and want to use the status of the judge to suppress us? Let me tell you the truth, you are obedient today, and the punishment will be served by the king. If you don’t, hehe, you won’t be able to pass the sentence!”

The Wang family has this strength, and their network of relationships is intricate. Their father is also Qin Hui's father-in-law, Wang Zhongshan.

Wang Gui has many children and grandchildren, all of whom are wealthy families in the imperial court. The energy of their family is indeed not comparable to that of Jia Juren.

Jia Juren felt a sense of aggrievedness in his chest, looked at the two brothers who were flaunting their might, and spread his hands sadly, saying: "I will interrogate Wang Chaoli, but I will not punish you."

Wang Gui's prestige as an official is good, but it's a pity that his family education is a bit poor, and it is said that Wang Zhongshan's family is all jerks.

In history, Qin Hui later made his fortune. His wife Wang's uncle Wang Zhongyi and his cousins ​​Wang Hui, Wang Zhu, Wang Xiao, Wang Zhong, Wang Huan, Huai Cricket, etc. Bian right, ah

Leveraging Qin Hui's power, they carried out plundering and plundering. According to historical records, they were "better than robbers".

His father-in-law, Wang Zhongshan, and his sons were even hardcore traitors, and their heart was in the Song Dynasty, but they all came back from the Kingdom of Jin, and became high-ranking officials in the Southern Song Dynasty with the support of Qin Hui.

The whole family is neat and tidy, full of such bastards, which is also an anomaly.

These two brothers, who are not very old, have all the stinky problems of their parents and brothers.

The two were sneering and sarcastic, holding the majestic Kaifeng Mansion's general judgment, and the official of the sixth rank was like a child's play.

Jia Juren's face was ashamed, and he thought that he was conscientious and conscientious. As a judge, he was awe-inspiring when he judged cases on weekdays.

Being anointed by two wealthy families, so humiliated, there is nothing to do. None of the government servants in the hall stepped forward. This official is extremely aggrieved.

"Can you pretend to be dead with our brothers here?"

Wang Huan was so powerful that he couldn't let others go, he leaned in front of Jia Juren, and sternly reprimanded him.

Suddenly, there was a sound of drumming outside, and the Kaifeng government office went out to greet him.

A team of fine riders cleared the way, all in red uniforms, the robes are bright and eye-catching, the horses are fat and strong, and the knights on horseback are majestic and solemn. They are Gen Yue Guards Long Live Battalion.

The knights stood in two rows. After dismounting, they stood holding the reins, and another group of guards came out from behind.

Dark green robes, simple knives hanging from the waist, and leather belts wrapped around the arms, he is the imperial envoy.

Followed by a group of second-rate eunuchs from the Anti-Corruption Factory, who were a bit shameless, but arrogant enough.

Three groups of guards, surrounded by the three people in the middle, came out and gathered in the Kaifeng government office.

Chapter 158 Justice may be late, but it will never be absent

"Hahaha, brother please!"

"You are the young master, inspector Sikong, it is right for you to invite first, our family is behind you."

"Hey, you guys are so inky, you're boring, I'm advanced."

Yang Lin and Yang Jian wore purple and gold official uniforms, which could only be worn by officials of the third rank or higher in the imperial court. Liu Qingshui wore light armor, red lips and white teeth, very handsome.

The three of them walked in the Kaifeng government office, and the officials were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

Even the emperor had seen these people seven or eight times while working in Bianliang, and it was not uncommon for such a big official, but it was the first time that the notorious Kaifeng Three Hegemons gathered together.

Huangcheng Division is an old-fashioned Bianliang bully. From the beginning of its establishment, it has been a thorn in the side of the scholar-officials. In Bianliang, bullying men and women is arrogant and domineering.
