Feng Shenglun, the prefect of Qianshan County, slept in a tent by the river for six days, and the prefect of Guangxin slept with him for six days.
This is the order left by Zhao Han: Handle the case by the river, lead the presiding judge of Qianshan County, and serve as jurors for the prefect of Guangxin.
At night, by the river, in tents.
Ding Xukun, the prefect of Guangxin, drove away mosquitoes with a cattail fan, pulled up the mosquito net and said, "Youti, when did you go to school?"
"In the second year of Chongzhen," Feng Shenglun asked, "Where is Prefect Ding?"
Ding Xukun said: "We entered school in the same year, but I was a Juren in the third year of Chongzhen."
"Disrespect, disrespect!"
Feng Shenglun felt a little upset, you are a juren, and you are not much higher than a scholar like me.
Ding Xukun sighed: "Oh, I'm not showing off, but I'm feeling. At that time, even the Zhongdao Examination and the Township Examination were so glamorous. I really never thought of rebelling against the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."
"The world is unpredictable, but now it's fine." Feng Shenglun said.
"Yeah, it's good. Let's take this case as a warning," Ding Xukun said, "If you and I encounter this kind of thing, even if the punishment is cancelled, it is impossible to be promoted in a short period of time. You are the magistrate of Qianshan County. Take good care of the Fei family, and make no mistakes."
Feng Shenglun said: "This case can be handled as a matter of business. There is no need to keep an eye on Fei's family because it is Mrs. Fei's natal family after all."
"It's necessary, it's very necessary," Ding Xukun said, "Beating the Fei family is beating the big families in the world. Keeping an eye on the Fei family is swearing on the gentry everywhere. Including your family, including my family!"
"Understood." Feng Shenglun said.
It's really hard to be an official in Jiangxi. Although the promotion is fast, you will be punished if you go wrong.
Just take this time as an example, does it have something to do with Ding Xukun?
It is equivalent to a prefecture-level city, a certain county, a certain town, and a certain village within the jurisdiction. A murder case was suppressed by the county magistrate, and the mayor Ding Xukun was actually held accountable.
The seventh day.
Wu Zuo, who fled into the mountains, was finally arrested and brought to justice.
"boom!"
"Ascension!"
Feng Shenglun said with bloodshot eyes: "Kong Yan, the deceased Fei Liang, did he fall to death or was he beaten to death?"
The assistant named Kong Yan kept crying: "I'm sorry Mr. Zhao, I shouldn't do a random autopsy. I thought at that time, I want to repay Mr. Zhao's great kindness. Mr. Zhao is the son-in-law of the Fei family. I After receiving Mr. Zhao's kindness, why should I speak for the Fei family"
Wu Zuo, that is, forensic medicine, was a lowly slave in the Ming Dynasty, and his descendants were not allowed to be officials.
Zhao Han abolished the distinction between good and bad, and all the writers in the world are the immediate beneficiaries.
"boom!"
Feng Shenglun took a picture of the gavel: "Don't talk nonsense, did he fall to his death or was beaten to death!"
Kong Yan said with difficulty: "The one who was beaten to death had a damaged spine and bleeding from five viscera. Even if he could be rescued at that time, he would probably be paralyzed for the rest of his life."
Feng Shenglun asked again: "You confiscated the money from the suspect Zheng?"
"Five coins, said to be tea money." Kong Yan replied.
Feng Shenglun and Ding Xukun looked at each other, and they were both incredulous, that the county government officials dared to forge the autopsy report for only five qian.
Kong Yan said with tears: "Master, I really don't want to embezzle, I just want to repay Mr. Zhao's kindness."
"Confused, you are trying to harm Mr. Zhao!" Ding Xukun said depressedly.
Prefect Ding still didn't say a word: You made me miserable too.
Except for a few officials, who were not present because they went out with the army, the trial of the case has basically been declared over here.
At noon, I went to open the coffin for an autopsy. The internal organs must have been rotted long ago, but the skeletal scars are easy to verify, and they were indeed caused by blunt instrumental beatings.
?In the evening, Feng Shenglun began to pronounce the sentence. The river was densely packed with boats, and the riverside was densely packed with people.
"boom!"
Feng Shenglun read the verdict and said:
"Fei Zheng, formerly known as Zheng Shulan, was born in Ehu Town, Qianshan County, Guangxin Prefecture, Jiangxi Province. His charges include: first, instructing others to beat and kill two people. Second, insulting, beating, and imprisoning him for a long time by himself or instructing others Good people. Third, to falsely accuse the servant of violating the employment contract. Fourth, to instruct others to bribe officials"
"Punishment for several crimes. Sentenced to beheading of Fei Zheng and executed after autumn. Sentenced to Fei Zheng's 30-year-old rod and executed immediately. All land under Fei Zheng's name was recovered. The servant Gao Liu was refunded two taels of silver for breach of contract and compensation Gao Liu's ten taels of silver. Return the servant Gao Feng's liquidated damages of two taels of silver, compensation"
Mrs. Zheng was paralyzed there, not saying a word.
"good!"
&nbs?.
At the same time, Fei's female family members also have to learn. The first thing a daughter-in-law enters the house is to learn the family rules.
This incident was both accidental and inevitable.
It can only happen in Fei's family, not in other families.
If other gentry families committed crimes, local officials did not dare to cover up the murder.
Purely because Zhao Han is the son-in-law of the Fei family, local officials still have traditional thinking, thinking that helping to cover up is a sign of loyalty to Zhao Han, and even think that doing so will gain Zhao Han's appreciation.
When this case spreads, officials at all levels should know what to do when they encounter powerful relatives committing crimes in the future!
Goose Lake, Fei Zhai.
The third eldest Fei Yingke sat in the garden, drinking and having fun with his wives and concubines, and sighed: "The four brothers in the family, now I am the only one left. The eldest brother is an official, the second brother is in prison, and the fourth brother has long been a general. Fighting for nothing. .Hehe, now that no one is fighting with me, I feel very uncomfortable."
Wives and concubines hurried to comfort.
Fei Yingke said: "I can't do it. I'm a useless person. Children should be good teachers. Those who haven't gone out to work and haven't married yet will listen to me about the family rules every ten days. This person lives in the world, and he is not afraid of not being able to do something. , for fear of making a big mistake. You should also keep in mind that from now on, you must be close and harmonious, and don't be as confused as that Zheng."
"The husband has taught you well," said the wives and concubines.
Fei Yingke scratched his head and said, "Which of you would know that the second elder brother has something disgraceful? He has been manipulated by Mrs. Zheng for thirty years."
