It is called "Biography of the Sons and Daughters of Wind and Cloud", and the overall style imitates "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

There are several leading actors, namely: Xin Zhao (Zhao Han), Li Heming (Fei Ruhe), Li Zhen (Fei Chun), Wang Jushan (Zhang Tieniu), Yang Tianwei (Pang Chunlai).

This scholar obviously collected a lot of information, plus various hearsay.

In his works, Yang Tianwei (Pang Chunlai) is the son of a general in Liaodong. Because the eunuchs colluded with the Tartars, his family was ruined and he was exiled in the rivers and lakes.In Laoshan, I had to meet strangers, learned half a volume of Taoism, three volumes of military art, and five volumes of political strategy, and also learned a lot of superior martial arts.

The first tens of thousands of characters are all describing Yang Tianwei (Pang Chunlai).

As for Zhao Xin (Zhao Han) and others, they are all apprentices he accepted in Qianshan.

Zhao Han burned the county government, Zhang Tieniu stole the head late at night, these stories are all linked together.Chen Maosheng is even described as an assassin, singing is just to cover up his identity, and he specializes in assassinating corrupt officials.

Ma Liaoyang and Zhang Puwei, the two leaders of the Secret Esoteric Sect, even made impressive appearances.

Ma Liaoyang and Zhang Puwei are heretics.

Yang Tianwei (Pang Chunlai) only had half a volume of Daoist books, but he was able to beat two leftist monks to serious injuries with one against two.

Therefore, after they left Qianshan Mountain, the two heretics dared to rebel.

Even Dian Shi of Qianshan County, who was stabbed to death by Zhao Han, became a master of martial arts.The plot of Zhao Han setting fire to the county yamen almost turned into a solitary raid into a dragon's pool and a tiger's lair, and finally he climbed over the city wall and left.

The scholar put away the pen and paper, went to sleep with his clothes on, and waited to continue watching the case tomorrow.

Chapter 299 [It's better to go home and grow sweet potatoes]

Feng Shenglun, the magistrate 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, preside over the presiding judge of Qianshan County, and jury for the prefect of Guangxin.

At night, by the river, with 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 start 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 the Juren of the third year of Chongzhen."

"Disrespect, disrespect!"

Feng Shenglun felt a little displeased, 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 rural examination were so glamorous. I really never thought of rebelling against the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."

"Things in the world are 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, so there is no need to keep an eye on Fei's family because it is Mrs. Fei's natal family after all."

"It is necessary, it is very necessary," Ding Xukun said, "Breaking the Fei family is beating the big families in the world. Staring at the Fei family is sacrificing 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.

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 its jurisdiction. A murder case was suppressed by the county magistrate, and the mayor, Ding Xukun, was actually held accountable.

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 his 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 is a forensic doctor. In the Ming Dynasty, he was a low-level slave, and his children and grandchildren 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 internal organs. 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, feeling inconceivable 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, because they were not present when 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 five 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 out 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 [-]-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.

"it is good!"

"Master Qingtian!"

The onlookers cheered and shouted, they like to see the wicked being punished, and they are powerful villains.

In ancient times, appeals could also be made. Execution after autumn is to leave enough time for appeals and review.

Zhao Han personally intervened in this case, so it is definitely impossible to review it.

Of the four evil slaves, two of them committed murder, but they were instigated by others, and they were killed by accident.Therefore, the death penalty can be avoided, but mining requires six years of labor reform, and it is their fate to survive for six years.In addition, all land properties under his name were confiscated.

Although the other two evil slaves did not commit murder, they beat and abused the servants for a long time.Half of the land under his name was confiscated, and he was reformed through labor in the mine for three years.

As for Fei Yingqi, he connived at his wife for a long time to beat and abuse others, resulting in the death of both of them but did not report it.Sentenced to three months in prison and confiscated half of the property under his name.I will not be an official in the future.I and my descendants within three generations cannot obtain a franchise license, and the franchise business under my name will be suspended for one month.

Fei Yingqi and Fei Zheng's husband and wife deliberately violated the "Slave Release Order", fined 5000 taels of silver, and paid the fine within three months!

Deliberately breaking the emancipation order is also a crime?

The gentry who were watching the trial were all guilty, for fear that there was someone in the family who was not good at it.I have to go home to be restrained, and stop beating and scolding the servants, otherwise the fine will be very distressing.

This is the Fei family, with such a severe sentence, why should the others have to shed their skins?

"Hahaha... woo woo woo!"

Fei Yingqi was crying and laughing. He thought he was dead, but ended up in prison for three months.

To be able to get rid of that wicked woman, and only spend three months in prison, and be fined some land and family property, ruined reputation is worth it!

The case involved more than a dozen officials, and after all the officials arrived, it was handed over to the Jiangxi Lianzheng Yamen for review.After the review is completed, it will be handed over to the Jiangxi Procuratorate for trial, and finally reported to the Official Selection Department, Criminal Name Department, and Integrity Department of the General Military Mansion for review.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Firecrackers sounded in Hekou Town and Ehu Town, and countless ordinary people cheered.

The Fei family has been punished for committing crimes, and the other gentry must be in bad luck for committing crimes. They will not be afraid of these big clans at all in the future.

"Long live King Zhao!"

"Long live Zhao Zongzhen!"

There are many foreign merchants in Hekou Town and Ehu Town.They all felt a kind of shock from the bottom of their hearts when they saw the joyous scene of the people and inquired about the outcome of the case.

Feng Shenglun was exhausted and relaxed, and finally he didn't need to live in a tent by the river.

Since it was getting late, he stayed at the inn in Hekou Town.

When landing, the people rushed to watch, shouting "Master Qingtian".

The scene of thousands of people chanting praises instantly swept away his fatigue, and Feng Shenglun felt ecstatic.He likes this feeling, as if the fairy music is lingering, making people addicted to it and unable to extricate themselves.

"It's what the people want," Feng Shenglun warned the officials around him, "you must remember from now on, when you are an official, you don't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and grow sweet potatoes!"

"We will always remember the teachings of the county lord!"

All the officials of the county government bowed to each other, and the director even had an idea to replace the couplet in the lobby of the county government with this one.

The scholar on the boat on the river, overlooking the bustle, suddenly burst of inspiration.He held a lamp and carried a pen, and based on this case, he made up a story about Luling County.

The facts of the case were similar, but the magistrate of Luling was corrupt and perverted the law.The hero Zhao Xin (Zhao Han) and others learned of the grievances of the people, so they sneaked into the county government in the middle of the night and killed corrupt officials to make decisions for the people.According to a conversation with a corrupt official, the male protagonist is completely disappointed in the imperial court, and angrily invites the heroes of the rivers and lakes to rebel.

In the following two months, the officials of Guangxin Mansion were very busy, and a large number of old cases came to report to the officials.

More than [-]% of the cases cannot be reviewed at all. At most, there are only a few witnesses left, and the physical evidence has long been lost.

Of course, if there is a problem with the criminal name file, these old cases can still be reversed.

Zhao Han was furious when the slaves were wronged, and the story of ordering the officials Jiangbian to try the case was quickly spread from Guangxin Mansion.

Zhao Han's prestige among the common people has once again risen to a new level.

Hanzhu Primary School.

Fei Yuanlu read the "Da Tong Township Agreement" and "Fei's Family Regulations", and spent half a month recompiling a "Fei's Family Regulations".

Qianshan Fei's face is lost this time, so he must take it as a warning.

He printed more than 200 copies of the family rules, and Fei kept several copies for each branch.And set a rule that on the first and fifteenth day of each month, the elders of each family must gather their descendants so that they can study and understand the content of "Fei's Family Regulations".

At the same time, Fei's female family members also have to learn. The first thing a daughter-in-law does when she 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, the local officials dared not cover up the murder at all.

Purely because Zhao Han is the son-in-law of the Fei family, the 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 and fighting for nothing. .Hehe, now that no one is fighting with me, I feel very uncomfortable."

The wives and concubines hurried to comfort them.

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."

"Your husband's admonition is right." The wives and concubines said.

Fei Yingke scratched her head and said, "Which of you would know that the second elder brother has something disgraceful? He has been manipulated by Mrs. Zheng for 30 years."

This guy still wants to eat melons.

Chapter 300 [South Hole]

Going east from Guangxin Mansion in Jiangxi Province is Quzhou Mansion in Zhejiang Province.

Uprisings broke out in all five counties of Quzhou Prefecture.

However, only Jiangshan County, which is the closest to Jiangxi, is still in the hands of the rebel army.The remaining four counties were all successfully counterattacked by the big landlords, and most of the scholars, businessmen, and farmers who participated in the uprising were killed.

When Zhao Han was still in Qianshan County, Zhang Tieniu came to Jiangshan County as a vanguard with two thousand rattan armored soldiers.

"Meet General Zhang!"

The leaders of the rebel army led their troops out of the city to meet them.

The leader is Zheng Baolu, and Fei's second wife, Zheng Shi, is a distant relative of this person.The branch clan has migrated for more than ten generations, and it may be related, but it may not be related.

Zheng Baolu reported his family name and introduced other people around him.
