The iron-faced man goes to court

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Wu Yong who was about to speak but Cao Cao knew what he meant, so he pretended not to see it and said to Chao Gai sincerely: "Brother Chao, don't just look at the reputation. The sword has two edges, and everything has two sides."

, this matter is accomplished, although Liangshan can become a leader in the world in one fell swoop, he has also become a prominent figure in the eyes of the imperial court and a target of public criticism. In the future, conquests will continue, and it will never be easy to live in peace. This section cannot be ignored. "

Seeing that he had spoken out first, Wu Yong and Hua Rong looked at each other again, each feeling guilty: Oh, it turns out that this person is selfless at heart, otherwise how could he be willing to tell his shortcomings openly? But it is our villain's heart that saves others.

The belly of a gentleman.

Cao Cao secretly laughed, who can hide such shortcomings that a discerning person can think of? What's more, looking at Chao Gai as a person, he is heroic and resolute, but has no foresight. Such people can only see the benefits in front of them, but it is difficult to see the steel sword behind them.

There's no harm in telling the truth.

As expected, Chao Gai didn't take it seriously at all, and said disdainfully: "Leave me alone for eight hundred miles, and then send a hundred thousand troops to kill all of them."

Cao Cao clasped his fists and praised: "The King of Heaven is so heroic and upright, it is really heartbreaking!"

If others praised him, Chao Gai would just smile, but the praise from "Emperor Wu of Wei" made Chao Gai feel proud and ecstatic in his heart.

"Hahahahahaha! But I'm a little brave and don't deserve Brother Wu's reputation. Then let's... hahahahaha..." He wanted to say that it's settled, but he couldn't help but be so ecstatic that before he could finish his words,

Laughed again.

All the brothers under Cao Cao were stunned to see it - the dignified Liangshan boss Chao Gai, the King of Towers, how come his temperament is similar to that of Li Kui?

As soon as everyone thought of Li Kui, Li Kui laughed and said: "Hahaha, you have such a big beard. If my eldest brother praises you, you will be very happy. It can be seen that you are also a good man with straight belly. I have to finish my eldest brother's work."

Come on, Tieniu, have a few bowls with you."

Everyone laughed for a moment. Chao Gai also knew that he had lost his composure and smiled bitterly. Fortunately, he was indeed forthright and upright, and he did not hide it. He patted Li Kui on the shoulder and said: "Your eldest brother is an incredible hero. He praises me."

How can you not be happy? I saw you rushing into battle and killing people before, and you are also a great tough guy, and I am just about to have a drink with you."

Li Kui was overjoyed and shouted: "The brothers in Liangshan are really extravagant. If you didn't follow my eldest brother to become the capital, you would have gone to Liangshan and become a bird gang."

Chao Gai perked up after hearing this: "Brother Wu, if you are willing to surrender, who else could the Lord of Liangshan Po be than you?"

This was said to Cao Cao. Cao Cao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brothers have their own concerns. It's not too late to elaborate later."

So everyone came to the government office lobby, and Pei Xuan asked Cao Cao to sit on the magistrate's seat. Cao Cao took a step back and pushed Pei Xuan: "Brother, no one but you can make the decision in this lawsuit. It's private. You

He is the victim who was framed by Cai Jiu. As a matter of fact, if you have a stern face and refuse to resolve the case, what do you want? As a brother, I just want to watch you resolve the case with a stern face!"

Why did Cao Cao say this? Probably because of the Kongmu at that time, the full name was "Liuyan Kongmu". Why was it called "Liuyan"? It corresponded to the six departments of the official, household, rituals, soldiers, punishment and work, prison litigation, and tax account books at the center of the imperial court.

, supervising warehouses, etc. are all within the scope of the "six cases". Although he is not an official, he has great real power and cannot be filled by non-competent officials. In terms of internal affairs management ability alone, the outstanding Kong Mu is probably stronger than the prefect.

.

Pei Xuan still hesitated, but it was Wu Yong who interrupted: "Brother Kong Mu, a man does his job and does his duty without any hesitation."

Pei Xuan suddenly woke up. He still didn't recognize Wu Yong. When he saw him dressed as a scholar, he bowed his head and said, "Sir, your teachings are good."

He bowed to Cao Cao again and said, "Brother, in that case, let's see my younger brother decide the case!"

After saying that, he straightened his back and showed a majestic look on his face. He sat upright behind the case with a solemn and solemn look. Everyone cheered: "What a tough-faced man. If all the officials in the world are like this, how can they be?"

Aren’t you seeing blue sky everywhere?”

Pei Xuan's eyes narrowed and he shouted: "Come here and bring Cai Jiu to court!"

But when they heard Deng Fei laugh loudly outside the door, he responded: "Bring someone to the crime!" He puffed up his chest and strode into the hall. All the heroes laughed when they saw him, but they saw that he was holding Cai Jiu's ankle with one hand and fell down.

He was dragged into the lobby. The threshold of the lobby was very high. Cai Jiu was dragged in face down. He screamed in pain and was obviously almost beaten.

Deng Fei threw away the leg in his hand, cupped his fist and said, "Sir, the criminal Cai Jiu is here!" He knocked Cai Jiu with his heel: "Why don't you get up on your knees? Do you want me to serve you?"

"Don't you dare!" Cai Jiu exclaimed and struggled to his knees. He was not wearing an official uniform but a dirty police officer's uniform. He obviously wanted to make up and escape, but failed.

He was born obese, but his detective clothes were narrow and the fat lines were clearly visible on his body. His face was covered with dust, and his frightened face made him look pitiful and ridiculous.

Li Kui saw it and smiled and said: "Where is the governor Cai Jiu here? He is obviously a fat rat stealing food from the grain depot."

Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi and others laughed together, and for a while the courtroom was filled with a joyful atmosphere, but there was no trace of solemnity at all.

Cao Cao said: "What Tieniu said is right. This Jiangzhou is a land of plenty. Cai Jiu came here to be an official because of Cai Jing's power. He is just a big rat who got into the country's granary and ate his belly. Tieniu, the court is solemn. I

Wait and say nothing, and watch Mr. Pei decide the case."

Li Kui responded with a silly smile.

Pei Xuan glanced at Cao Cao gratefully, then returned his gaze to Cai Jiu: "Cai Dezhang! Do you know your guilt?"

"I know my crime, I know my crime." Cai Jiuji nodded like he was pecking rice: "I know that I have two major crimes. The first one is that I hated you, Mr. Pei, for refusing to bend the law together, and designed a frame-up.

You are sent to the army; secondly, he listened to Huang Wenbing's instigation and framed the righteous Song Gongming, which caused the warriors to become angry and bloodshed all over the city. This is all the fault of the lower official! According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, he should be dismissed and exiled. The lower official is now

I'm sorry, please judge."

After saying that, he knocked his head on the ground for a long time, so no one saw a sly smile on his face.

When Cai Jiuchu was arrested, he was terrified. Especially when he saw Pei Xuan, his panic reached its peak. He knew that he would definitely die. Unexpectedly, Pei Xuan only glanced at him coldly and ordered people to continue arresting him.

Officials at all levels sealed off the government warehouses and Cai Jiu's residence.

Cai Jiu trembled next to him for a while, and gradually became less afraid. Just because he heard people talking intermittently, he wanted to judge them as officials based on Song law. He couldn't help but secretly rejoiced: If these grassroots bandits who are causing chaos in the country are being rough,

Arm, I, Cai Dezhang, have no choice but to accept my fate, but if you want me to look like a fish, and have a pig's nose inserted into an onion, pretending to be an elephant and judge me according to the law? Hehe, that's exactly what it is - the turtle takes off the golden hook, swings its tail and shakes its head, and never comes back again!

Pei Xuan never expected that Cai Jiu would plead guilty so readily. He frowned and remained silent for a while.

When Cao Cao saw this, he stepped forward and whispered: "What are the laws of the Song Dynasty?"

Pei Xuan said in a low voice: "According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, if an official framed his colleagues or subordinates and obtained evidence to prove it, he would be dismissed from his post and would never be used. If an official's punishment was unfair and he was beaten to death, after he was dismissed, he would be exiled from eight hundred to three thousand miles, depending on the consequences.

"

After hearing this, Cao Cao said to himself: "The Song Dynasty treats civil servants very favorably. Yes, these laws are also set by the civil servants. If the emperor is not strong, he will naturally be as comfortable as he wants."

Is it so easy to spare Cai Jiu? With Cai Jing in the court, exile and dismissal are just a joke, not to mention that this court is inherently unreasonable, and other punishments except murder are meaningless.

Cao Cao rolled his eyes and thought about it. He was about to speak when he suddenly heard someone screaming outside the hall: "My lords, if you really want to try Cai Jiu according to law, you must mobilize the people to report him. This man has been in Jiangzhou for many years and has committed countless murders."

, enough to chop him into pieces."

When Cai Jiuyi heard this, he fell down on one side and yelled wildly: "No, no, that villain is talking nonsense. He himself is a villain who is bringing trouble to the countryside. The kings must not listen to his instigation."

Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Someone actually thought of the same thing as me? Unexpectedly, there is a great sage in this mere Jiangzhou. Please bring me to the court to meet you."

There is a branch of teaching: Jiangzhou Shuoshu is very round and fat, and refuses to violate the ironclad rules. Since ancient times, it is difficult for good people to defeat evil, and evil people have to be beaten by evil people.

The fifty-fourth chapter, the magical Taibao rushed to Liangshan. After thinking hard for many days, I felt that I still couldn't force the so-called scientific explanation of the magic, so I made adjustments in order to make the overall story smooth and reasonable.
Chapter completed!
