Chapter 173 It's All Routines
Now the focus is on Governor Wei, and everyone wants to see how Da Zhongcheng treats this matter.

Judging from his position when he made his appearance just now, Xi Siwei's Dachao Feng must have special significance for Dazhong Cheng's term of office this time, and he probably holds a position like a staff member in name.

According to the official rules of Jianghu, even if there are 1 reasons, if you want to take down or take Xi Siwei away, you must first obtain the consent of Governor Wei, unless there is a direct imperial edict.

At this time, Lin Daguan jumped out again and said: "I, Lin Tailai, often tell people that Dazhong Cheng is the object that our officials should emulate!
Dazhong Cheng has always been of good character, upholding integrity as an official, and doing things fairly!In the face of big right and wrong, never allow selfishness! "

The words "big right and wrong" and "never allow selfishness" are obviously mentioning Da Zhongcheng.

Governor Wei, who was upset, just wanted to swear in the street regardless of face, and often told people about your motherhood!

The welcome ceremony for a Jiangnan governor to return to Suzhou City has turned into such a messy situation!
Governor Wei felt that he was cheated, but he didn't know who was cheated.

Then he said angrily: "Then why didn't you, Lin Tailai, tell the official in advance! It seems that you are deliberately concealing the case and doing sneaky things!"

Official Lin quickly said aggrievedly: "The tax envoy Wang has instructed that the arrest of criminals is a confidential matter, and no news should be leaked in advance, so as to prevent criminals from hiding and escaping.

This is the common sense in handling cases. How can there be any reason to let the criminals out before arresting them?

The criminal has been by Dazhong Cheng's side all the time, and I have no chance to report it alone!

What's more, I have already taken on the huge responsibility of possibly leaking secrets, and kept hinting that there are treacherous people around Dazhongcheng, so let Dazhongcheng not be deceived! "

Governor Wei: "."

It turns out that every piece of nonsense Lin Tailai said just now was actually a scam?

Regardless of procedure or reason, you, Lin Tailai, have to take it all in?
Xi Dachaofeng also knew that now was the most critical time.

He also knew very well that it was pointless to forcefully defend himself at this time.

Because on this issue, Lin Tailai obviously came prepared and fully prepared, so he fell into a huge passivity, and it was difficult to prove his innocence.

So Xi Dachaofeng knelt down in front of Governor Wei who had collected several thousand taels of silver from him.

Then he said in a hoarse voice: "Dazhong Cheng has made a thorough investigation, and I have indeed been framed!

Regarding Lin Tailai's accusations against me, I am willing to accept the trial of Dazhong Cheng to pay my innocence! "

This is the best way I can come up with in a hurry. Since it is useless to face Lin Tailai who is well-prepared, I will take the retreat as the advance, and then change from passive to active.

As long as this so-called "killing official" case is handed over to Governor Wei for trial, there will be plenty of opportunities to reverse the case!
And from a logical point of view, it is appropriate to hand over such serious cases as "killing officials" to the governor for trial, and it will not be as ridiculous as Lin Tailai's eight cases.

Others want to stay out of the matter and stay out of cause and effect.

Only a certain young master Zaifu who watched the excitement shouted, "But Cheng Dazhong just ordered the suspect to be released! Is it appropriate for Cheng Dazhong to try the suspect again!"

Just now Governor Wei dared not give Shen Erye face, Shen Erye dares to tear down the stage now, this is the cycle of cause and effect.

Everyone then remembered that just now after Mr. Lin arrested Xi Dachaofeng, he had said to Governor Wei that "the matter is confidential, so please report it in detail when there is no one around you".

But Governor Wei was probably afraid of Lin Tailai's strength and dared not control anyone, so he forced Lin Tailai to release Xi Siwei, who "killed officials and rebelled".

So here comes the question, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, what should be the crime of publicly covering up and using power to rescue officials who are the "masterminds of killing officials"?
On the issue of trial, should such an official avoid suspicion?

Suddenly looking back, Lin Tailai actually dug a hole here, blocking Xi Dachaofeng's escape route!
Daguan Lin contributed a lot to being able to stay calm on the scene today, contributing more than 60.00% of the lines by himself.

At this time, I heard Daguan Lin say: "I, Lin Tailai, often tell people that Wei Dazhongcheng is the most admired official in my life!
And what I admire most about Wei Dazhongcheng is that, in the face of justice, he dares to kill relatives righteously."

Until now, Governor Wei finally understood why the prefectural and county officials were not active when he made it clear that Lin Tailai was going to be punished.

It’s not that they are colluding and shielding the powerful, but that everyone thinks that if you want to use eight trivial cases, at best, it is a case of beating people and occupying land. .

Those prefectural and county officials who are more familiar with the situation at the grassroots level are very pessimistic about this, and they are too lazy to waste their efforts, so they evade it.

Now that the matter has come to an end, Governor Wei looked at the officials of the prefecture and county, hoping that someone would stand up and smooth things over.

But most of the officials were silent, obviously they didn't want to get into such a huge trouble, and it really wasn't worth it.

Although there are many similarities between the officialdom system of the Ming Dynasty and later generations, there are also some fundamental differences.

For example, all officials are appointed by the imperial court, whether the local magistrate or the magistrate, are all directly appointed by the imperial court, rather than being appointed and dismissed by the governor, which is slightly more independent than later generations.

So there are some things in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty that are simply unthinkable in the eyes of later generations.

Everyone is an official ordered by the imperial court, and the income that local officials can get from flattering their superiors is slightly less than that of later generations.

The governor can't promote the county magistrate to general judge with one word, nor can he demote the magistrate to the same magistrate with one word.

Officials have steelyards in their hearts, and it is not worthwhile to curry favor with the governor for the big trouble of "killing officials and rebelling".

Also, when an official considers issues, he must be comprehensive!

The brother of Wang Shuishi, who was besieged by the mob, was still Wang Situ, who was older than the governor.

If you help Governor Wei to exonerate the suspect, what will Wang Situ, Wang Yushi, and Wang Fangbo think?
The officials were unwilling to speak, but Second Master Shen still didn't give Governor Wei face so much, so he jumped out and suggested:
"Because of emotion and reason, the tax envoy Wang should be interrogated in person! He is the victim, and he will definitely try his best to find out the truth."

Xi Dachao Fengdeng's soul was scattered at the time, and based on Lin Tailai's relationship with the capital of the king, if he went to the capital of the king to be interrogated, would he still survive?

With the style of Wang Zhidu, Lin Tai may be directly entrusted to replace the presiding judge!
Governor Wei still wanted to keep Xi Dachao under his command, showing some quick wit, pointing to Yuan Hongdao, the county magistrate of Changzhou, and said:

"Then why do you want to look far away and not entrust Yuan Zhi County to try it! Wang Zhi is the victim, so Yuan Hongdao is not?"

Compared with Wang Zhidu, which has a background and is independent of the locality, Yuan Hongdao, a subordinate magistrate, is of course better "settled".

Then Governor Wei asked Yuan Zhixian directly, "If this court entrusts you to try it, will you accept it?"

Yuan Zhixian was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Then the official should first ask Lin Tailai a few words alone."

Then Yuan Hongdao called Lin Tailai aside for a private conversation, and asked straight to the point: "Are those eight cases true?"

After all, Yuanzhi County has only been here for half a month, so he is not very clear about the bullshit of Mr. Lin.

But this question baffled the witty official Lin. The topic had clearly shifted to the "Killing Official" case. Why did Yuanzhi County ask about "eight cases involving the same defendant" again?

The main reason is that I don't understand the motive of Yuan Zhixian's question, so it is difficult to answer.

Perhaps the great writer Zhixian had a sense of justice and wanted to confirm whether he had committed evil, and then determine his next attitude?

Maybe I want to use the eight cases to test myself, to see if I am willing to tell the truth, is it true?
If you can't figure out the psychological motivation of the interrogator, it will be difficult to give a targeted answer!

After being troubled for a while, Mr. Lin suddenly had a flash of inspiration, but he remembered a routine that the people of the Lighthouse Country loved most hundreds of years later!
So before replying, Mr. Lin sighed deeply and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

Pair it with eyes and facial details to create a mood of melancholy.

Seeing that Yuan Hongdao was a little confused, he just asked you something casually, why did you just act it out?

Lin Tailai said in a low voice: "Maybe Yuan Xianzun doesn't know something, but I was born in a poor family in the west of Suzhou City. Since I was a child, I could only eavesdrop on lectures outside the window of social studies, and then practice writing with branches on the river beach. He learned to steal books and was beaten.

After becoming an adult, Zaixia was sent to the town by his parents to make a living, and he couldn't help but become a thug who was despised by the world.

Even so, I still have a bright heart and love literature. With the encouragement of Uncle Song from the same village, I have never given up studying.

But those who are deeply trapped in the quagmire of misery have no way out, and there is no ladder to climb up. They can only rely on instinct to climb out of the quagmire desperately. "

Hearing such inspirational past events, Yuan Hongdao couldn't help being moved, and thought of the famous work "Three Poems of Remembrance" by Mr. Lin Daguan.

Then he commented: "The poems in the heart, the world thinks you are satirizing Wang Yanzhou, but I finally read it today, in fact, you are indignant and shouting for yourself."

Senior official Lin waited for Yuan Hongdao to finish interjecting, then continued without emotion, as if talking about other people's affairs:
"People are in the rivers and lakes and cannot help themselves. In the process, it is inevitable that they will be forced to do some things against their will.

This is not my original intention, but the hateful environment in which I am forced to do this!

If you don't do those things against your will, your reputation will be ruined immediately, and all the knowledge you have learned in your chest will be wasted!
Yuan Xianzun should be able to empathize, just like Yuan Xianzun, you don't want to be an official, you are full of crookedness, but you have to be an official! "

Yuan Zhixian did empathize and nodded suddenly!That's right, that's how it feels!

Since I love to listen, I can say a few more words, Lin Tailai continued:

"People of my background are different from rich and noble sons like Shen Erye and Wang Yusheng. In order to break free from the shackles of fate, there will be some unavoidable original sins on them.

For example, the eight cases Yuan Xianzun asked about were actually my original sins.

Some of the circumstances of the eight cases are indeed true, but aside from the facts, is it all my fault?
Why can someone concoct eight sensational cases based on only part of the facts? Isn't the motive more thought-provoking?

Now that I have made some achievements, the name of literature has finally been recognized, and I have the opportunity to serve the court. In addition, I often want to do some good deeds to return to the village. Whether it is river water conservancy or a new city gate, it is something that benefits the people.

But every time I dream back at midnight, I still feel unbearable when I think of those original sins, like a nightmare.

But there are always people who like to bring up old things again, forcing them to recall those nightmares again and again next time.

Until the two-month martial arts inspection, Xing Xunyin used the deeds of the ancient Zhou Chu to encourage me and pointed out the path of life for me. From then on, I also decided to follow Zhou Chu as an example. "

Speaking of this, Mr. Lin's affectionate self-report has come to a perfect conclusion!
He was thinking that after his birth, he would inevitably be used as an argument by others. Today, he will practice with Yuan Hongdao to see the effect.

This speech refers to the routine of "The Prodigal Son Turns Back" that is most popular among the people of the Beacon Country in later generations.

When I was a child, I suffered from the suffering of my native family, I couldn’t help but do wrong things, and I worked hard to improve the small details. I was helped and encouraged by kind people, and I broke through the cage of unfair fate after repenting.

All kinds of classic elements are available, and the splicing together is the most standard American "prodigal son turns back" routine.

Yuan Zhixian's thousands of words were reduced to four heavy words, and he sighed: "It's so precious."

Official Lin was secretly delighted, it seems that this "prodigal son turns back" routine can also be effective here in Yuanzhi County, a great writer.

Finally, some things in the past have been fooled, and whoever mentions it in the future will continue to repeat this set of rhetoric.

If you have a chance, you can find a way to ask Yuan Zhixian, a great writer, to write an essay on the theme of the prodigal son's return, which will be more convenient to clean up.

Why is Fang Zhongyong so famous? Isn't it because of Wang Anshi's "Injury Zhongyong"?
But after Yuan Zhixian finished feeling, he said inexplicably:
"I have longed for the unfettered and free life of rangers since I was a child, but I couldn't show it because of my family.

So I asked you to talk about the case, just because I wanted to experience from you the kind of young ranger who was impulsive and reckless and reckless on the edge of the law.

But you talk about suffering experiences in long paragraphs, and why do you analyze your heart? "

Lin Tailai: "."

I can't tell that you, Yuan Hongdao, are such a writer, and there is still a wild yearning for lawlessness deep in your heart.

In the end, Mr. Lin only replied with four words: "The ranger is dead."

After Yuan Hongdao savored these four words carefully, he felt that Mr. Lin is really a deep person.

The main thing is to judge Lin Daguan, there is still a little bottom line, and he knows the measure deep in his heart.

As for the set of rhetoric just now, could it be made up by a fool without a brain?
In fact, Lin Daguan would like to say another four words to Yuanzhi County: "Ye Gong loves dragons" or "does not eat minced meat".

But for the sake of friendship, I still hide it in my heart.

Yuan Hongdao returned to Governor Wei, and replied: "This case happened on the boundary of Wu County, and the suspect is also a citizen of Wu County, so it is inconvenient for the lower officials to interrogate him."

If the trial is fair, I am afraid that I will be sorry for the "prodigal son", and if the trial is unfair, I will feel sorry for my conscience, so I simply refuse to accept it.

As a well-known domestic writer, I still have a bit of confidence.

For the unreasonable work handed over by the superiors, just say no and reject it.

Gentleman revenge, from morning till night!A certain Zaifu son was still trying to save Governor Wei's face, and shouted loudly: "Everyone said that the tax envoy is the most reasonable candidate!"
