Taipingchun

Xu Xiu wrote down the verdict:

The matter of Xu Pengju and Fu Niang was interrogated, and it turned out that there was true love, and they were engaged since childhood.Since ancient times, I have heard that two people are in love with each other, and the words of a matchmaker, but I have never heard of a ruthless robbery of his wife.False marriage certificate, framing goodness, Zhu Lin's crime, confession.

If it is not to distinguish its authenticity from its falsehood, and speculate on the coercion of the duke of the state, fearing that the truth will be difficult to understand, I wrote Zhu Lin's sixty boards, and Dai Jia was exiled for three years to set the record straight.

Liang Xingdao, the chief bookkeeper, said, "Submit the judge's verdict to the Yamen of Yingtianfu."

"Yes."

As for whether Shangfeng dared to judge Zhu Lin like this, Xu Xiu didn't care.

……

"Snapped."

The clean and sharp slap was hard and urgent, and Zhu Lin fell to the ground.

"You bastard, I've completely lost face to you. You forged a marriage certificate and deceived it to your old man."

Cheng Guogong's face was full of ferocious terror, and the suppressed anger made him lose his mind, and Zhu Lin knelt on the ground and shivered.

He said: "It's all Xu Xiu's fault, if he sentenced Fu Niang to his son, how could he make his father lose face."

Zhu Fu didn't slow down, pointing at him without saying a word.

Mrs. Guogong patted him on the back lightly and said: "This little seventh-rank magistrate doesn't listen to the master's orders, he really has a heart to punish."

Zhu Fu glared at her and said: "What do women know, the chief official is in his yamen, and I can't do anything to wait for the nobles."

Zhu Lin hugged Zhu Fu's leg and said, "See him for a copy."

Kicking him away, Zhu Fu said angrily: "This case is already an iron case, and Wei Guogong will not tolerate me making troubles. You should give up your heart, but this Xu Xiu must not let him live comfortably like this .”

……

"Can this case be solved like this?"

Han Bangwen said with a wrinkled face, "I never thought that Jiangning County won the 36 tricks. It's a good trick to play fake and crazy."

Lu Heng said embarrassingly: "I thought he was a frivolous and frivolous boy, but the clinker is very scheming."

Han Bangwen really likes his work. For him, the Minister of Dali Temple in Nanjing, many cases are more aggrieved than Xu Xiu's handling of this case, so he also appreciates it. He said with a smile: "It's very organic. Armor to explore the flowers."

Lu Heng said: "If there are a few more Xu Xiu, I think it will be very easy for me to be the prefect."

"Good. Then I, Dali Siqing, will feel more relaxed."

……

Ever since Xuzhi County's Qiaoduanguo case spread, it has created a new trend in Jiangning County. Everyone knows that Xinzhi County is not only good-looking, but also has great skills. Whenever there is a conflict, it will come to the government. , I pray that the master can uphold justice.

Xu Xiu propped her cheek with one hand while listening to the accusations of the people below, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

This morning, the case of Kaiya came in like a tide, which made it very difficult for him to deal with it.

He looked up at the old scholar standing next to him and said, "Sir, the student regretted it."

Just because he said earlier: "If it is not a major case, it will be closed on the same day."

The old scholar stroked his beard and said, "It's really a new look for Jun Yi to sit in the hall. Why should I regret it?"

Since the wife dispute case was settled that day, the old Xiucai stayed and became Xu Xiu's staff.Of course, how can the teacher condescend, and what he said to the outside world is naturally a guest.

Hearing what he said, Xu Xiu had no choice but to look around, silently feeling overwhelmed.

"Snapped."

The gavel feels wonderful in the hand, and the sound of hitting the table is crisp and powerful. He likes the sound of the table very much.

Talk to the two groups below: "On such a matter, you can argue for a long time?"

This matter is not complicated. A rice store in this county lost a basket made of wicker. Later, when they saw that the basket in the grocery store opposite was similar to their own, they went forward and snatched the basket back.

How could the people in the grocery store be willing to be snatched away by him, so they came up to fight, causing the bosses and guys of the two stores to fight together, and several guys were beaten to the point of bleeding. They all refused to give in, and came to the Yamen to control each other.

Xu Xiu said helplessly: "How much is a broken wicker basket worth, and there is no mark on this basket, it may be from the rice shop, or from the grocery store, it doesn't matter who it is, you come here noisy, This kind of trivial matter is so troublesome. So who is to blame for this?"

The boss of Mihang howled for a while: "My lord, it is he who robbed my basket, his crime."

The owner of the grocery store is not a fuel-efficient master, so he gave him a look.

He said: "If he hadn't come to rob my family's basket, how could he bother you? It's his fault."

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Xu Xiu had an idea.

Said: "Enough. Above the court, is it a noisy place for you?"

Xu Xiu took out two wooden sticks, and when he took them out, the two people below were trembling, needless to say, one bamboo stick is equal to ten big boards, if it hits the body, it will definitely suffer that flesh and blood.

Then I heard Xu Xiu say: "A broken bamboo basket caused you to gang up and sue. This crime is on the basket, not on you. Come here! Give me twenty big sticks for the basket."

The wooden stick made a loud noise when it was thrown on the ground, all the people below were dumbfounded, what is this going to do?

Even the yamen servant holding a water and fire stick was indifferent, and wanted to ask if he had heard it wrong.

Xu Xiu said seriously: "Go, give me twenty sticks."

Seeing him repeating, the rest of the people could only open their eyes wide, watching the servants beat the innocent basket one by one, they couldn't help but look curiously at Master Xu who was sitting behind the desk, and felt disgusted. .

After the yamen servants finished playing twenty boards with a straight face, Xu Xiucai came out from behind the big case, squatted on the ground and looked carefully, found sesame seeds, and twisted these sesame seeds with his hands to signal them to watch.

Asked: "Which of your two sells sesame?"

The owner of the grocery store was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "The villain's shop sells it."

The boss of Mihang was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "It's all the villain's fault, I hope the adults will have mercy."

Xu Xiu shook his head and said: "Fake someone else's property, you should have been punished, but since you are all small businesses, let's be lenient, you only need to pay him the cost of soup and medicine. From now on, we must live in harmony, Don't make trouble anymore. Do you understand?"

The boss of Mihang said gratefully: "I understand, I understand."

"Come on, recognise, and withdraw from the court."

After sending these two away, Xu Xiu went back to the back hall and sat slumped on the chair before eating the first meal of the day. He asked Xu Yang tiredly, "Are you satisfied?"

Xu Yang squeezed his shoulders for him, and complimented him: "My master handles the case lightly, he should be strict, and he should be lenient. He is quite like a blue sky."

Xu Xiu snorted and said, "It's because of your compliments that I believe in your so-called early court hearing, early court trial, noon court hearing, and no-turn case at night, a red light Nonsense until dawn."

Xu Yang touched his nose and whispered, "That's what Bao Longtu did."

Xu Xiu felt sad and indignant when she thought about it. She was still too young and inexperienced. She was flattered by Xu Yang and said nonsense that was not a major case that day. I heard the magistrate's words that the non-major case should be recognised.

Even people from Shangyuan County next door came to sue the officials, but this time he seized the opportunity to shirk, saying that the county would not accept what he said.

Thinking about tossing with these trivial things all day in the future, Xu Xiu's mind about eating also became much lighter.

Said: "That's him, how can I behave like this?"

At this time, I heard the discussions outside, which was very noisy.

Xu Xiu put down the bowl and chopsticks and felt cold, presumably the ghost must have been caught.

Going out to see, as expected, the lazy dragon escorted a yamen servant and tied him to the ground.

Since that day, the yamen incident was brought to light, and Xu Xiu handed over the matter to Lazy Dragon.

The lazy dragon said: "My lord, this person stole the letter with your seal, and you will get all the stolen goods."

Pretending to lead the snake out of the hole by the head, this is the suggestion given by the old scholar. After all, is it really necessary to simply find out who the inner ghost is, and can it be easily moved?

The man didn't panic when he saw this, he just let the lazy dragon tie him up so plainly, without saying a word.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xu Xiu just looked at him without saying a word.

Just watched the white-haired old county magistrate Wu Hong stroke his beard.

He cupped his hands and said: "This person is re-documenting a document for a relative, not accepting bribes. I hope the Lord will punish him lightly."

After seeing him finished speaking, the surrounding yamen servants also talked one after another, nothing more than how diligent they are in daily work, how serious they are, and how kind they are.

The old scholar tugged at his sleeve without a trace, Xu Xiu knew in her heart that the county magistrate's ability to secretly change concepts was really amazing.The meaning of his teacher Fu Shenggui is nothing more than to let himself not be fooled by this evasive trick.

According to the provisions of "Daming Law, Criminal Law, Officials Receive Money", as long as officials receive money, the officials will be removed from their names, and the officials will be dismissed.To say that you didn't accept bribes means nothing more than accepting bribes. Since you can't find any evidence, you still don't lightly dismiss it. You, the county magistrate, just reprimand you a few words.

Xu Xiu glanced lightly at Wu Hong, the county magistrate, and said with a light smile, "You know Daming Law very well."

That person changed from the happy and kind face he had when they first met. Although he was still smiling now, there was no trace of that sincere smile.

Said: "My lord is joking, this is my homework."

Xu Xiu also laughed, but said in a surprising way: "There is no evidence now, and I will not punish him for taking bribes. What I want to punish is stealing seals."

As soon as these words came out, the old county magistrate's face shrugged instantly, compared with him was the old scholar with the corners of his mouth turned up.

Xu Xiu turned her body sideways and whispered to the county magistrate Wu Hong, "You are not the only one who is familiar with the Law of the Ming Dynasty, but I am a first-class official, what do you think?"

If stealing seals is used as a crime, then according to the provisions of "Da Ming Law Punishment Stealing Seals": Anyone who steals the seals of various yamen and the bronze medal of the night patrol will be executed.Those who steal the pass and prevent seals all have a hundred sticks and tattoos.

The most serious thing about the former is expulsion, while the latter will not only be dismissed from service, but if it is not done well, it will be decapitated. Even if it is light, it will also be stabbed with a stick.

The old county magistrate said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency is so avoiding the trivial and focusing on the serious, is it to do something cruel?" After all, there is no real stolen seal, just a blank letter, so Wu Hong has nothing to do with it.

Liang Xing, who had been watching the development of the situation, drank lightly and said: "Your Excellency is very aware of the details, what this person committed was stolen and he was punished according to the law. What about cruel officials? Don't be fooled by the county magistrate."

Seeing what he said, Xu Xiu was slightly relieved, it seemed that not all the people in the county government office belonged to others.

Xu Xiu looked at him and said, "One hundred battles, disqualification, and blasted out."

When no one spoke, Lazy Dragon said: "Yes."

After he made his statement, someone hesitantly followed his steps to execute him.

Xu Xiu looked at Wu Xiancheng coldly, and sneered, "Let's just wait and see."
