Chapter 187 Punishment 1

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The night is already very late, but we are still busy.  With the help of many people, most of these workers have moved to inns in the capital that were paid heavily by the chamber of commerce.  I was almost too busy to breathe, and I also knew that killing Cao Feifan on impulse today would definitely cause me big trouble, and the court would definitely attack him!  I really have no interest in paying attention to these so-called pillars who only think about power and how to beat people I don't like. The worst thing I can do is take off my official uniform and go back to be a common citizen.  If I am being plotted against and plotted against others every day, how will I have time to do what I want to do?  Being an official is actually very tiring.  Tired of having to plot against others at any time and at the same time being wary of being plotted against.  While we were busy, many people also did not rest. This morning, the spies sent by these people were mixed in the crowd and followed us, and what I did was reported to me in detail.  The information was so detailed that it even included the inns I booked and how many workers and doctors were assigned to each inn.  In the Grand Master's Mansion, he was still in the study.  After reading the extremely detailed information, Taishi Han gently placed it on the table and sighed slightly. The look on his face was quite complicated. He couldn't tell clearly what he meant to this cheap student.  What a feeling.  The dim light in the room shone on his face, allowing Xie Ren on the side to see clearly the white hair on his head and the expression on his face.  "Teacher? Do we want to make a secret tomorrow?" Xie Ren asked. Anyone who is interested will know that today is an opportunity. Deng Long was not wrong in arresting people from his own chamber of commerce, but he was wrong in killing the manager of the kiln factory.  The laws of Dazhou clearly stipulate that after arresting a prisoner, he must be handed over to the local government for trial.  Since that person is at great fault, if the prisoner has been captured without resistance, then the prisoner is absolutely not allowed to be dealt with privately without trial.  But today he violated exactly this rule.  Taishi Han raised his head to look at Xie Ren and asked, "Shangzhezi? Why do you need to go to Zhezi?" His tone was a little careless, as if this matter had never happened at all.  When Master Han asked him this question, Xie Ren doubted his own ears. What a great opportunity this was.  The so-called opportunity must never come again!  The Grand Master, who was always a wily and scheming person, was confused today.  "Isn't it said in the intelligence? Deng Long privately kills prisoners. This is against the laws of our great Zhou Dynasty." "Oh?" Taishi Han stood up. He suddenly felt that the room was stuffy, so he slowly  He walked to the door and opened the closed door. Suddenly, a cool breeze rushed over with fresh air. Even the somewhat groggy Taishi Han felt refreshed. He turned to Xie Ren and said: "  Come and accompany me for a walk outside the house!" After that.  He took the lead and walked out of the house first.  Xie Ren's mind was full of confusion and there were too many questions in his mind, but when he saw Taishi Han walking out of the room, he had no choice but to follow him.  Outside the study is a garden, with some sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted in the garden. It is early autumn now, when the sweet-scented osmanthus in the garden is in full bloom, and a sweet fragrance wafts throughout the yard.  There was also a bright moon hanging high in the sky at this time, and the faint moonlight cast a dreamlike gauze over the entire garden.  After Taishi Han walked out of the house, he was looking at an osmanthus tree. Then he sniffed hard, savoring the sweetness in his nose. When Xie Ren came behind him, he asked quietly: "What if  According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, if an official kills a prisoner privately, what crime should he be punished for?" Xie Ren replied without thinking: "According to the law, if the prisoner is not guilty and is executed privately, the official can be beheaded or exiled.  If the prisoner is executed for a crime that does not lead to death, officials will divide the prisoner's crime into exile and demotion depending on the size of the crime. For prisoners whose crime is sufficient to commit a capital crime, as long as it is verified and the official executes him privately, he will be punished by demotion or a deduction of salary!  Taishi Han nodded and said: "I remember it very clearly. Now what do you think our Zhezi can do?" Xie Ren immediately understood what Taishi Han meant. Now Deng Long's official title is a third-grade military general, but the soldiers he leads are  Far less than the troops and horses brought by a third-grade military general. Even if he is about to lose his official position because of this incident, these troops and horses have not changed much.  Let's be clear. He is just like a puppet with no real power. Your title of general is just to scare people. As for the salary?  Xie Ren couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of this. He was one of the leaders of the Shiyun Chamber of Commerce. How could he care about the small salary given by the court?  Even if it is added several times, it is not a big deal in his eyes.  "You also know what happened today. Do you think Cao Feifan should be killed?" Taishi Han continued to ask.  "Yes!" To be honest, Xie Ren was also very angry when he saw what was written in the intelligence. However, he was not angry because Cao Feifan mistreated the workers, but because this matter was exposed.  Does this kind of thing happen to any of the wealthy families in the capital?  There are only a few workers who die due to overwork every year, but no one is exposed, and the officials just turn a blind eye.  But now that this matter has been brought out, it will not be long before the whole capital is in an uproar. Although it is a matter of the Four Transport Chamber of Commerce, it happened in the capital. This is undoubtedly a good thing for officials like them?It was like a slap in the face.  Thinking of this, Xie Ren scolded Cao Feifan in his heart for being a fool. He didn't even know the head of his chamber of commerce, and he didn't know how to restrain himself when others came. Isn't that just looking for death?  "Since he deserves to die, what use will it make even if we file a report tomorrow?" The Grand Master asked, "Besides, the boy is protected by the Emperor and Yang Linguang. Even if he reports it, the big deal is just a fine. He still cares.  That little money?" "And!" Taishi Han reached out and picked a few golden osmanthus flowers, and gently sprinkled them into the pool in the courtyard.  Xie Ren, who was on the side, listened with his ears pricked up as he heard what the Grand Master had to say.  "That boy is so good!" "You mean you chopped off Cao Feifan and burned the sign of the kiln?" Xie Ren said doubtfully after carefully recalling the information.  "That's right!" The Grand Master nodded and said, "Regardless of whether he really killed Cao Feifan and burned the sign out of venting his anger, or whether he had a plan in mind before killing that man, just because of him  This approach, coupled with the fact that he later spent a lot of money to book several inns and invited almost all the famous doctors in the capital to treat those people, has allowed him to establish an upright, kind-hearted and kind-hearted image among the people of the capital.  The image of the Siyun Chamber of Commerce among the people will not be greatly reduced because of this. On the contrary, its reputation will be greatly increased. In a few days, his fame will spread throughout the capital. In addition, his influence in Shanling and his image among the people will be greatly improved.  , even if he is attacked in the court, it will not have any impact on him among the people!" "At the same time, the emperor and Yang Linguang are obviously protecting that kid. Even if you propose to punish him tomorrow, the emperor and Yang Linguang will simply do it that easily.  I just agreed. In the end, the most likely outcome of the fuss is to verbally punish him and then fine him some salary!" "Besides, do you think he really cares about the court's punishment?" Xie Ren was speechless.  For a long time, he asked: "Then let's forget it this time?" "Let's forget it this time!" Taishi Han sighed and said, "To be honest, I am a little tired of these days of fighting in officialdom.  ! If it weren¡¯t for that unfulfilled grandson, I wouldn¡¯t have so much energy to fight back and forth!¡± ¡°And¡± ¡°I gradually discovered that Deng Long is indeed an interesting young man, and he seems to be efficient in doing things.  It's just because of sex, but it can capture the hearts of the people inadvertently! If it weren't for those reasons, I really hope that I can be an acquaintance with him in the past, it will be interesting!" "Actually, I am now.  Think about it, were our previous actions against him right or wrong?" "Also, don't take advantage of tomorrow's announcement. If my estimate is good, someone will definitely mention it!" Then, he sighed deeply,  He said: "I can't help myself!" Xie Ren's heart moved. From Taishi Han's tone, he could clearly feel that his heart had softened, and he was also a little helpless!  He and Deng Long, who tried so hard to get rid of him a year ago, almost have a feeling of pity for him now.  What on earth caused such a big change in the current elder in front of him?  Is it really like what he said because he was tired of the fighting in the court? If not for the sake of the third prince, he had to stay in the court and fight to the death with Yang Linguang and others for power?  Or is it because he's really getting older?  Xie Ren carefully looked at the old man in front of him. He was quietly looking at the water. Under the moonlight, Xie Ren could clearly see the grand master's white beard fluttering gently in the wind, and his wrinkled face made him look sad.  People would not think that he is the current Grand Master, but just an ordinary old man.  At this moment, Xie Ren clearly felt that Taishi Han was old!  As for what he said, someone will definitely pick up the discount tomorrow, probably the censor's group.  The censor's group of people are all helping the second prince, and this second prince usually seems to be very close to the eldest prince, and listens to the eldest prince in everything. In fact, he has already attracted a group of officials in the dark.  , and his aunt, Concubine Zhen, was very favored. Even though the emperor was angry and thrown into the cold palace yesterday, she would probably be released soon.  It was precisely because of the relationship between the second prince and the censor that they gradually joined the second prince's faction.  Thinking of this, Xie Ren smiled slightly and whispered: "A bunch of clowns!"
