The Four Great Cases of Wu Zetian

Chapter 1

Changping, who entered the official rank, complained for the common people in the Lingsheng court
Poetry:

The world likes to be a high-ranking official, and it is not difficult to enforce the law and solve the case.

The lenient and fierce Xiangping thinks about Lu Du, but the harshness is still the evil Shenhan.

One heart is pure and upright, and the two words are fair and the people are safe.

Only Changping's old Lingyin left the copy for future generations to read.

Rape, thieves, and adultery have nothing to escape from their king's law, and right and wrong must be treated in the official family.All the idlers and those who make talk and make troubles will be swept away.Regardless of the common people's pleasures and careers, even if there are unscrupulous people who show their compliance with the law and discipline, and see that their punishment is unforgivable and their crimes are unforgivable, what they hear and see, they all reward the good and punish the evil.Therefore, if you want to change the people, you must wait for the officials to be upright, and there is no official who is not clean and upright, but can transform the people.However, the cleanliness of an official is not only about not hurting wealth or the people, but also protecting the country above, doing things that people cannot and dare not do, and governing the people below, so that no one can and will not be punished.Regardless of the details of the folk, even the details of the palace, they should be carefully examined, shrewd and decisive, and then the official reputation will be good, the official position will be upright, and everything will be clear.Therefore, to establish a country in one generation, there must be a generation of criminal officials. In the time of Yao and Shun, there was Gao Tao, and in the time of Han Gao, there was Xiao He. Shen Buhai and Han Feizi were the ancestors of the famous criminal masters of the past dynasties.If you don't investigate the origin of the case, and just saw the incident with a sledgehammer, and blindly torture, then even if you say it's fast for a while, you will be wronged and die.If you do it again because of bribery, for the sake of greed, you will automatically use five trees and cut off a few words. If you do not cultivate your body, you can govern the country and the people.If you have a taste of ancient and modern times, and read wild history, you can't tell what's not, and you can't believe what's there.Compiled in this book are the clarity of the trial, the wonder of the case, the details of the investigation, and the god of solving the case, either because of the filth and chaos in the erotic palace, or for the whole of the evening, or for the murder of money, or for the revenge of adultery. , or mistakenly took poison and died suddenly, or made jokes and suspected that he was the culprit, all of them were innocently involved and suffered torture.Even if one person has to vindicate it, change his words and make it easier to accept, and pay close attention to micro-deeds.

Yang is regarded as an official, and Yin is regarded as a ghost. At the end of the year, he gets his love, decides his case, clears his injustice, suffers his punishment, and ends up in a strange and strange prison, which cannot be understood in the end.The spring breeze is tiring, and there is nothing to do in the day, so I specially record the original version of this book for everyone to read.I don't dare to call it a warning to the world, but also talk about the loneliness of the readers.

Poetry:

Prepared for strange things, Qin Xin past generations.

Those who are honest and fair will be wronged through the ages.

It is said that this book came from the reign of Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Empress Wu was in court, and there were many troubles in all directions.At that time, there was a minister, surnamed Di, named Renjie, named Deying, from Taiyuan County, Shanxi.

He is very upright and loyal to protect the country. He holds the post of servant Pingzhang. All the ministers in court at that time, such as Yao Chong, Zhang Jianzhi and others, were all recommended by him.Just because Wu Sansi advocated chaos, the Empress Dowager wanted to abolish Zhongzong and make him his heir, Di Renjie violated Yan Lizheng, and played a book, saying that His Majesty will establish a prince, and he will eat the Taimiao for thousands of years.If Li Wu thinks twice, from ancient times to the present, he has never heard of the principle that his nephew is the son of heaven and his aunt can worship the temple, so he suddenly realized that, apart from this idea, when he retired from the government and Emperor Zhongzong, he called Renjie the old man of the country and moved to You Governor of the state.When Emperor Zhongzong came to the throne, he was granted the title of Duke Liang.This is a matter of life. Since the Tang Dynasty, everyone has respected him and said that he is a loyal minister.As everyone knows, there were many events at this time, all of which were recorded in the history books of the past dynasties, so it is easy for future generations to know.There are also those things that are not recorded in the national history, but passed down in the unofficial history. It is even more admirable to say that he is not only a loyal minister, but also a follow-up official, and a gentleman who is smart, meticulous, benevolent and righteous.Therefore, since Empress Wu ascended the throne, Di Gong has judged and understood all the close-knit cases of evil, evil, loyal, good, sisters and brothers, kings and mothers, and strange cases among the people.

Since his parents gave birth to him, he was born smart when he was six or seven years old.Studying books and going to school, looking at the ten lines, needless to say.When the time comes, you will already be well-educated and talented.The government of Bingzhou, after hearing his literary name, first cited Ming Jing, then transferred to Bianzhou to join the army, and was promoted to Bingzhou Facao.The imperial court moved him to Changping Jinyin because he was an upright official.When he comes to office, it is his other business to eliminate violence and bring peace to the local government, and to clear up lawsuits.

There are four entourages under him, one named Qiao Tai, one named Ma Rong, these two are high-ranking guests in the green forest.One day when he went to Beijing for business, he met two of them who wanted to rob him of his clothes and luggage. Seeing that Ma Rong and Mrs. Qiao were both heroic and skilled in martial arts, Renjie thought to himself: "Why don't I subdue them? Contributing on behalf of the royal family and doing a great job, the two of them can also help each other, so that this ability will not be buried." At that time, instead of evading, he stood up and told them to stand down, after a lot of persuasion .Unexpectedly, Ma Rong and Mrs. Qiao are very grateful.Said: "We are thieves because of the chaos in the world, and the chaotic ministers are in power. I have this ability. I have no choice but not to meet those who know me, so I fall into the grass and become a bandit. This is the worst strategy. Since the honorable father is so righteous, he is willing to hold the stirrup with the whip. Serve the honorable father." At that time, Renjie took the two of them as his personal followers.The other person's surname is Hong, and his name is Hong Liang, who is from Bingzhou. He has been in Di's family since childhood.Although he doesn't have the ability to use martial arts, he is a bold and careful person, he is willing to go no matter what, and when it comes to doing things, he can speculate according to the opportunity and not be reckless.This person has been with him the longest.There was another man named Tao Qian who was also a friend in Jianghu, but later he changed his ways and became a servant of the Gongmen.Because there are many enemies, Nai often comes to retaliate, so he votes under Di Gong's command and becomes close friends with Ma Rong and others.After he took office in Changping, these four people all took him to make unannounced visits privately and closed many difficult cases.

One day, I was in the back hall, looking at the official business, and suddenly heard someone beating drums in the hall. Knowing that there was a case, I hurried to wear the crown and belt, and was promoted to the court.Two groups of soap officials gathered below.I saw a commoner in his 50s or [-]s, looking panicked and sweating, crying for grievances in that hall.Di Renjie sent someone to take him with him, knelt down in front of the case, and asked, "what's your name? What's wrong with you? Why beat the drums at this time without waiting for the court date to sue?" Humanity: "The villain's surname is Kong, and his name is Wande. He lives in Liulitun outside the south gate of Changping County. Zhu's family has several houses. Because there are few people and more rooms, they opened an inn. For decades, nothing happened. In the evening yesterday, there were two silk sellers who said they were from Huzhou. They passed by here because they were doing goods on a foreign road. Because it was getting late, they wanted to stay in this shop. The villain saw that they were passing customers. At that time Let him stay."

Drinking and laughing at night is well known.This morning, when the sky was about to dawn, the two of them got up and left. When it was time for Chenpai, Dijia Hood suddenly came to report and said, "There are two corpses at the entrance of the town. Killing the underground is a guest of your investment shop. It must be You murdered him for money, put him to death, dragged his body at the entrance of the town, and harmed others. "Don't allow the villain to argue, drag the two corpses to the door of the villain's house, threaten me with big words, and ask me to pay five hundred silver taels before I am willing to cover up the matter. 'Otherwise, these two people went out from your shop, why did a strange case happen in this town?This is not your removal of corpses! ’ Therefore, the villain is in a hurry, and I come here to ask the elder for justice. "

After hearing what he said, Di Renjie looked him up and down—he really didn't look like a murderer.Helplessness is a huge case of human life, and if he can't listen to his one-sided words, he will be released.

Nai Tao. "Since you said that you are a good citizen of the local area, why doesn't this Dijia mention other people, but you? I want to see that you are not a good person, and this county will never trust you. And bring Dijia to the nuclear seizure." The officer below agreed. , I saw a man in his thirties come forward, his face was full of evil lines, he was wearing a green robe at a slant, he knelt down in front of the case and said: "The villain is Liulitundi Jiahu De, please greet me when I see you, Mr. This case is under the control of the villain. I saw these two corpses this morning and killed Zhenkou. At that time, I didn't know where the guests were. Later, people from Hezhen came to watch, and they all said that they were thrown in the Kong family shop last night. Because of this, the villain questioned him. If he hadn’t killed himself for money, why both of them were killed in the town? Moreover, Kong Wande said that when he left, it would be dawn, and there should have been people walking in the town at that time , Even if you met a strong man on the road, did no one see it? I asked the store in the town, but I didn’t hear the voice of calling for help. This is an obvious plot. It is obvious that he killed two people at night, and then dragged them to the town. The mouth, remove the corpse and wipe out the traces. This is the responsibility of the villain, since the murderer is here, just ask the grandfather for interrogation."

Di Renjie was very reasonable when he heard Hu De's words. Looking back, he saw that Kong Wande was not a murderer who wanted to kill his money, but said: "You two have a confession. This county has not tested it, so you can't do it. Let's make a decision here. And wait until it's on the stage, then we'll interrogate it." As he spoke, the two of them handed over to take it away.Immediately sent an order to serve, ready to go to meet each other.I don't know what will happen next, let's see the next chapter.
