Dress to be a celebrity

When Mr. Ri Huang went on a tour in subdued clothes, he once heard Wang Qin and Song Shi talking through the window.From then on, he wanted to see what this old man, who had committed many heavy punishments and was still so arrogant, looked like, and now he finally saw it - he had gray beard and hair, his face was very pale, and his figure was quite thick. It seems that Wuping County's edict did not hit hard enough, and the conditions where he was imprisoned were really good.

Heh, living in a house with glass windows, daring to threaten and shout in front of the county magistrate's son, isn't it too comfortable?

Master Huang raised his hand, without ordering, a few yamen servants went up to strip off their clothes and wanted to pull them down and beat them.Song County Magistrate said for him: "This person has nothing to do with the lawsuit, so he should be tried first and then beaten."

I'm used to it, so I stopped this procedure abruptly, which made Mr. Huang feel that something was missing.

He is not someone who is willing to wrong himself, shook his head and sighed: "Song Ling and his son are really like the ancients, and they also pay attention to kindness to such sinners. On that day, he uttered wild words in front of his son, saying that the government wanted to convict your father and son, and even Let's see what will happen to your father and son. Mr. Song can't tolerate him insulting you, and this official can't tolerate it, so today I will decide for your father and son—"

First punish him for the crime of scolding the magistrate of the county by the people of the tribe, and then try again after the beating.

This person deserves a hundred rods, and according to the crimes of officials below the sixth grade, he should be punished by three grades, and he should also be rode seventy.

The guards on both sides beat him lightly with skill—he would not be able to survive the interrogation if he was beaten hard—then pushed him to kneel in front of the hall for interrogation.In the past two days, Wang Qin had heard that something had happened to the Lin family. The savior they had hoped for, Mr. Huang, had become the Song family's reliance. He was honestly tried on the ground.

Lord Huang thought of the gorgeously dressed, old woman who kept blaming him for killing her grandnephew and forcing her to marry his niece, so he asked County Magistrate Song, "Is his niece here? Send her up for interrogation first."

coming.She was the one who sang the legend of Fairy Baimao just now.

Although in general cases, women are tried not to go to court as much as possible, so as not to show their faces in court and damage their reputation.But the niece of the Wang family lost her husband and lost her son, and she was sold out of town. After all kinds of difficulties, she returned to her hometown to defend her mother and her son.Mr. Song understands her mood and doesn't stop her. He asks her to listen in the ear room every time there is a trial.

Today is finally her turn to go to court to complain.

County magistrate Song held up the file and called out loudly: "Xuan Jin's family is in court!"

She has remarried once, so she cannot be called the Wang Jin family.But she also refused to disclose her husband's surname, and she still regarded herself as the bride of the royal family when she stood in the hall, and even called Wang Qin uncle.Wang Qin yelled in disgust and fear: "You are married to a businessman from another province, so you should keep yourself safe. How come you come back to show your face, falsely accuse your parents, and ruin my Wang family's reputation!"

Jin grinned, and the corners of his eyes were lifted, which was a bit penetrating: "I call you uncle so people know that you harmed my son, and you committed a crime of human relations that is unheard of in the world!"

A major case of human relations.If it is true, such a sinner should at least be severely punished, and the crime cannot be forgiven.

Master Huang raised his eyebrows together, and asked Master Song: "Is there any evidence in Song Ling's hands?"

have!County Magistrate Song opened the thick file, stood up and handed it over: "The county government saw the bottom file of the land deed and the fish scale map of Mrs. Jin's family 30 years ago, and searched for the title deed at Wang Qin's house. Now Mrs. Jin's The house is also inhabited by the family of Wang Qin's five sons, which is a clear proof that his family murdered and seized property!"

Wang Qin jumped up in shock, and shouted: "No students! I am the head of the royal family, and it is the duty of the great clan to rise and fall—"

"This is such a big property. Even if Wang Jin's son dies, she can inherit it. Why does it belong to your son?" County Magistrate Song scolded angrily, then turned around and cupped his hands to Master Huang: "Master Huang, come back!" The day before yesterday, the official had sent someone to arrest the tooth dealer who bought and sold the Jin family that day. It is known that he sold his niece to a distant merchant, not as a wife, but as a concubine married by an ordinary businessman in a local place. The government only recognizes concubines! He sold his lover as a concubine, breaking another law!"

This case was an old case 12 years ago. At that time, the Wang family did not report to the police. Now it is impossible to know the real cause of the child's death.But other people's children died in other people's homes. They didn't get medical treatment in time, and they didn't report to the officials.

Mr. Huang pondered for a moment, then called the Jin family who was complaining at the side to stand up, and comforted him: "Wang Qin's crime will be a real death crime in the end, and no redemption is allowed. You can rest assured."

Wang Qin was grunting in his throat, but he was too shocked to speak. He fell on the ground and stared at the hall with wide eyes.Mrs. Jin gave him a heavy pooh, her face seemed to be crying and smiling, big tears rolled out, and she kowtowed several times towards the hall: "Master Xunyan and Lord Song are the masters, even if the concubine dies." Unyielding."

She got up and slowly exited the hall, and the next sufferer was called to the court to hear the trial. When the two passed by in the court, she suddenly stopped and said to the man: "Master Wang Qin said, Wang Qin The old dog must be a capital crime, no redemption is allowed..."

The man repeated in a daze: "The old dog Wang Qin has been sentenced to death..."

She straightened her eyes and nodded, then raised her voice and shouted again, so that the whole courtyard and the gate of the county government could hear the words.

The children of the Wang family in the corridor were frightened and paralyzed on the spot, hugging each other and crying loudly. I don't know if they are crying for the patriarch, or they are crying that they will face such a result later.The plaintiffs in the opposite corridor were also crying, but what they were crying was that good and evil will be rewarded, and that the justice they have been looking forward to for many years will finally come to pass.

Jin walked up to Song Shi with a cry, and bowed deeply, thanking him for leading people to rescue the disaster and clearing up the family's land, only then did he find out the crimes committed by the Wang family, and gave her the hope of suing again.

Now that she finally won the case, Wang Qin pleaded guilty, and she can go to accompany her husband and son without any worries.

Song Shizheng humbly accepted the gratitude from the victim's family, when he suddenly heard that she was going to commit suicide, the little complacency and excitement in his heart were smashed down with these words, and his back was icy cold.

In desperation, he almost stepped up to grab Jin's hand, but fortunately there was Huan Ling, an ancient man by his side, who pulled his hand back earlier and persuaded Jin for him: "Wang Qin has obeyed the law, you The ties with the Wang family have been severed, and you are still young, so I beg your lord to decide for you to choose a good marriage for you, so why beg for death?"

Unexpectedly, he is quite open-minded, not influenced by Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism, and would not allow widows to remarry.

Song Shi glanced at him appreciatively, and agreed to persuade Jin, but he didn't say anything and didn't want to remarry.She had a deep relationship with her ex-husband, and was later sold as a concubine by the Wang family. These years have not been very good. At first, she was only supported by the idea of ​​revenge. Now that the big revenge has been settled, she just wants to go down and reunite with her husband and son.

Song Shi had no choice but to put it another way: "Then you don't want the house and land of the Wang family, and you don't want it for your husband? If you want to die, you must first adopt a child to inherit the incense for him, right? If your son is still alive this year It should be seventeen or eighteen, and you should think about it for him, otherwise, when you go too, who will burn paper for you!"

The ancients paid great attention to sacrifices, and said that nothing else would work. When it was said that her son was lonely in the ground with no one to sacrifice, the Jin family had to be moved.She stood silently for a while, then squatted down and said to Song Shi: "If you can really get back the property of your late husband's family, so that my son will have successors, I will be willing to obey my family from now on."

Song Shi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and said casually, "If you really want to repay, listen to "The Legend of the White-haired Fairy" a few more times in the future when you have time."

Jin smiled wryly and said: "It's not just listening, even the concubine is willing to sing if she wants a concubine to go to Wazi to sing. I have been a concubine with others all these years, what have I never done? The Xi'er in the legend of the white-haired fairy is really good. It's the same as singing about myself... What's the result of Xi'er in the ending of the story of the White-haired Fairy?"

Is... are you with Brother Dachun?

It's a pity that he took the part of Brother Dachun, Dachun can't marry Xi'er, and there is no such thing as Dasuo and Dahuan... He has to change the heroine he has set up personally.He thought about it carefully, and said: "Master Song is in charge, marrying a good man who can farm and loves to read, is hardworking and hardworking, and everyone praises him."

Just like Zhao Zhuer in "Liu Qiaoer", an advanced model like Zhao Zhuer.

Although this "White-haired Girl" has been edited into a mess by him, the bottom line must be kept. Xi'er cannot be married to a scholar of the feudal landlord class, but a hardworking, simple, and motivated peasant youth.

Jin was also very satisfied, lowering her head and imagining the scene, said with some sobs: "It's better to marry a farmer, to be self-sufficient, not to be bullied by big gangs, and it's better to work harder."

Well, I won't be bullied by Dazong.

In the future, the Wang family, or most of the families in Wuping, will no longer need to divide into big clan and small clan, main branch and common branch.This time, after the Qing Yin Tian Yinhu, the grain tax was collected according to the fish scale book, and the corvee was served according to the roster. Those big clan leaders couldn't afford so much tax, so they naturally had to separate clans.

In the future, the county will be full of small households with a few or more than a dozen people. Government orders in the county will be implemented wherever they are handed down.

Satisfied, he listened attentively to the voices of grievances, pleadings, and judgments in the hall, and took notes from time to time to write down sentences that touched him, and prepared to use them to change the script for Meng Sanlang.

The members of the Wang family began to investigate the fields after the Qing Dynasty in the Song Dynasty. Until now, the people in the office have been looking at the files, interrogating the plaintiffs and witnesses, and even digging out the bodies of the victims who were injured or beaten to death. ...The cases committed by these students have long been well-documented, and the only thing left to do is to strip them of their merits and prosecute them in court.

In the hall, only the clear sound of the red-headed lottery falling to the ground, the muffled sound of bamboo boards piercing into the flesh, and the crisp sound of gavels hitting the long table, the sound is continuous.Accompanied by County Magistrate Song's detailed testimony, Master Huang's swift sentence, and the prisoner's stern excuses and screams...

The afternoon was taken away like running water, and the Wang family was even dispersed.

After this trial, both the father and son of the Wang family were imprisoned. The father committed a real crime and the son was sentenced to a misdemeanor, but there is still a chance to redeem his sentence.The direct branch was severely damaged, and many of the common branch were arrested and copied for crimes.What's even more frightening is that "The Legend of the White-haired Fairy" has been sung all over the county. The story of Huang Qinchai and Song Qingtian's trial of the head of the Wang family has been quickly adapted into novels, singing songs, Zhugong tunes, and even a troupe of Nanxi operas.

Those Shuzhi who were not caught were also panicked and wanted to separate from the direct clan.And the elders they share with the main branch have passed away long ago, and the lineage is unstoppable. We can only watch this storm-beaten family fall in the torrential rain in the autumn of 20 years in Xintai.

After the fall of the Wang family, the whole family was detained, and the Lin family was accused of intending to imprison the patrol censor.Then it was the Chen family and Xu family who went to the provincial capital to falsely accuse the magistrate of Wuping and conspired with the Lin family to deceive the censor.Below them are many students and supervisors who wrote articles for them to frame Song County Magistrate, and then there are usury silver cabinets, money desks, scoundrels and thugs who are hired by wealthy households to force people to strangle people... down one by one catch.

In Wuping County, a lot of large households fell, and a lot of students were stripped, but the prison was so crowded that it had to be temporarily covered.

Mr. Huang only cares about being a blue sky when he decides the case. When he comes back to his senses, he realizes that there are too many students who have been dismissed, and too many big households who have been convicted. Filling these in the performance appraisal form at the end of the year will affect the performance of County Magistrate Song.

He watched the craftsmen in the county government building bricks layer by layer with cement and sand and gravel, and said to County Magistrate Song with some apology: "You don't have to worry about the big plans of the bureaucracy next year. This court will do it later." Write a memorandum and submit it to Zhongshu, explaining the internal truth of this big case, and not teaching it will affect your evaluation results next year."

Song county magistrate moved and said: "Your Excellency's hard work for the lower officials, the lower officials can't repay them! Under the Wuping rule, those tyrants who didn't obey the law and didn't care about the people should have the lower officials to take responsibility. Now It is a blessing for me to have the peace of Wuping, so why would the new people dare to ask your lord to bear these responsibilities for the sake of the subordinates?"

Mr. Huang liked such a diligent and honest official like him, and shook his head with a smile on hearing the words: "I am patrolling Fujian, regardless of military and civilian affairs, it is naturally my duty. Song Ling doesn't have to be so cautious all the time. I think your son is doing well." If you are a smart student, you are told to teach by precepts and deeds, and the teaching is pedantic."

By the way, where is he now?

Song Shi was much stronger than his father. His father was always honest and cautious. Although this son was taught by his father to be a little restrained, it can be seen from the houses, cars, and small things he usually eats and uses. The student is a fine character.

And that "Biography of the White-haired Fairy".According to his inference, the words and sentences in the Zhugong tune libretto may not have been written by Song students, but they must have been edited by him for others to sing.

Not long after he finished interrogating Wang's family that day, there were people in the market who sang new lyrics of "Bai" biography. Among them was Huang Qin who was sent to the county to patrol the county, and another who came from the mansion to arrest and judge.This is not a big deal, when those little people complained to Huang Qingtian, no, Huang Qinchao, the libretto was clearly rewritten from the adversary in the court!

If it wasn't in the Song Dynasty, who could see the adverbial words?If it is said that he heard it in the hall, besides him, is there any suffering master or scholar under trial who still memorized the lyrics and arrangement at that time?

He had long suspected that it was this student!

The biography of "The White-haired Fairy" produced by this Song student directly broadened the atmosphere of the palace tunes, explained the sufferings of the common people, and the duties of officials, and washed away the decadence of those who only sang about private love.If other people arrange a good show that can be sung by others, they would like to spread their name to the world; "White" is passed on so that even his close minister of the emperor and Ducha Yushi, who is used to seeing excellent works, love to listen to it. She is also secretive, unwilling to reveal her identity, and she doesn't know why she is shy.

Master Huang snorted softly, and asked County Magistrate Song: "Where is your son? Today the county has not released a report, and there are no files to read. Why don't you call Ziqi to talk with us?"

"Here," County Magistrate Song was a little surprised, and said apologetically, "I didn't know that the boss wanted to see him today, so I let the poor boy out of the city."

Out of town?It's cold and wet in Wuping County in winter, and there are no good flowers and trees. What can I do to get out of the city?

"Today, Nephew Huan went to the west of the city to measure the land and reorganize the fish scale books. Xiaogou also brought many miscellaneous people to follow him, saying that he was going to do something like 'three trips to the countryside'."
