Wang Ziteng's body is not yet cold, so naturally he has some friends from his lifetime. Although they know Wang Ren's virtue, they also plan to do it for him.

You have to look at both sides of the matter. If you look at it closely, Xue’s family business is not small. If the matter is not worth a penny, the money will not fall into their pockets. , and others can't tell if it's far behind.

However, no matter how much these people think, they never imagined that Xue Baochai, a little girl in her teens, would dare to report the case to the former Jinling magistrate who had an old grudge and is now the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, Li Che. .

Strictly speaking, the three judicial systems implemented in the Ming Dynasty, the Metropolitan Procuratorate audited criminal names, the Dali Temple presided over serious cases, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice was responsible for the final trial and review of charges. The strange thing is that it is not uncommon for officials to hold several positions at this time. Before he went to Jinling to take office, he was named Shaoqing in Dali Temple. Although it is not very symptomatic, but if he must take care of it, no one really argues with him. .

Before the case came, there was a lot of praise. It is said that at the beginning, a good person asked the Xue family why they asked for help from an official who had a grudge. Li Shilang is an upright person and handles cases impartially. As a little girl, she has nowhere to ask, and she dare not trust others, only this honest and upright adult.

When the news reached Li Che's ears, it also reached the ears of officials from the Ministry of Punishment. If it was Li Che in the past, naturally no one would dare to joke with him, but it's strange to say that ever since Jinling left, he had a cold face. Avalokitesvara has become a Buddha with a smiling face. Although he doesn't have the posture of being both right and left, he is still like a spring breeze.

Then someone laughed and said: "Although this little girl is a little rough in her work, she has entered the right temple and worshiped the right Buddha. With the temper of an adult, she will definitely take care of this matter."

Li Che took a sip of his tea and said, "It's a little bit of a rascal to put my head on my head and nod before the case is in my hands.

Zuo Shilang was a little older, so he sighed: "A little thing in our eyes is a big deal to these people. If you can't ruin your family and ruin your business, it's a girl after all. It's a small age, too. Pitiful."

Li Che said quickly, "Since she dares to sue, she won't end up in such a pitiful situation in her life."

Just saying that, I still have to take care of it. If Li Che wants to build his reputation and attract people to vote, he can't make mistakes in small details. From this point of view, if he is a truly honest official, he may have no choice of this case.

The case went very well.

Originally, there was no reason for coaxing parents to sign a marriage certificate the day before and then divorcing his wife the next day. Let alone other things, Wang Ren's household registration is far away in Jinling. After the approval of the government and the change of household registration, it can be regarded as a free body, and marriage has nothing to do.

Although there was no date on the marriage certificate in Wang Ren's hand, it was in duplicate, one of which was in Mrs. Xue's hands. Jinling was thousands of miles away from the capital, and Wang Ren didn't send someone to Jinling immediately to get a household registration. In principle, He cheated on marriage with Xue's family, and stopped his wife and remarried with his original wife.

In less than half an hour, the case was solved. Because Wang Ren's wife was consulted, he was given a lighter sentence of stopping his wife and remarrying.

Wang Ren was beaten to the point of tears, and passed out from the pain after only ten sticks. Li Che asked someone to take him down first, and then continued the beating when he woke up.

Because all the evidence in the case was complete, Li Che didn't even ask witnesses to appear in court, and also saved the Xue family's mother and daughter from showing up in public, and preserved their reputation to the greatest extent.

The Xue family sent people around to tout it even harder.

Taking advantage of the aftermath of this case, Li Che conveniently handled a few more cases that came before him. Most of them were desolate families like the Xue family who had been bullied. If relatives are present, extinct women cannot preserve any property, and even their own marriages have to seek the opinions of relatives. .

Although the reputation of eating Juehu is ugly, there is really no law to control it. After all, compared with the previous dynasty, this dynasty enshrines Cheng Zhu's Confucianism. Although Cheng and Zhu have no intention of oppressing women subjectively, their various theories all confirm that men are superior to women. The widows of the previous dynasty could still keep their family property, but the law of this dynasty clearly stipulates that after a man dies, if there is no man in the family, the inheritance must be distributed according to the opinions of the man’s family.

After Li Che handled several extinct cases, the officials in the DPRK and China gave him different praises and criticisms, but there were still many people who agreed with him. After all, officials want face, even if there is a little act of exorcism in private, they will not do too much. If it is too much, they will feel that they have not done it. Few people will have empathy for those troublemakers who eat meat and drink blood.

However, there are not many cases that can be brought to Li Che's ears. Although there are some reasons why women don't want to show their faces, but more importantly, many people can't go out at all.

When Zhu Xigong came to Zhangzhou, due to the liberal customs in Zhangzhou, foot binding was rare, and elderly women walked around, often wearing cuckolds for their husbands, and it was common for young children to elope, so women in Zhangzhou bound their feet very small , making the feet crippled and bad for walking, which stopped the trend of fornication and elopement from the root, and the history books praised his behavior.

Li Che wanted to use this matter to pry open a hole, so he went up and asked for orders to set up a women's criminal department in the yamen of the Ministry of punishment to deal with women's complaints. Because female punishment is special, it is best to select female officers to serve.

At this time, the female officials refer to the female officials in the palace, and most of the female officials are noble women. Before the fall of the Jia family, a woman was sent to the palace, but she was not selected in the draft, but was left as a female official.

He hadn't planned to get his hands dirty and get involved in the law.

Emperor Chenghua felt that making a fuss out of a molehill, and opening a new yamen is not a trivial matter, spending money is secondary, the important thing is trouble, he thought about it, but did not approve.

With his IQ, he hadn't imagined that after Li Che's proposal was implemented, how many women from poor families would let their feet go to sue, but it didn't matter to him. He didn't particularly like little feet. He let it go again and again, he was not allowed to look at the feet on weekdays, and he didn't want to look at the feet of those concubines.

In the evening, because he got lucky with a young concubine a few days ago, he spent the past few days comforting Concubine Wan tenderly in Anxi Palace, but Concubine Wan still ignored him, and Emperor Chenghua had nothing to say to him. After talking for a while, the imperial concubine closed her eyes on the couch and was about to fall asleep.

At this moment, Emperor Chenghua suddenly thought of Li Che, so he told his story during the day, and then smiled again: "This Li Che has several jobs, and everyone else is exhausted, but he still thinks about other things." , very annoying."

Concubine Wan Gui suddenly opened her eyes.

Emperor Chenghua hadn't caught her eye for a few days, and before he could speak, he heard Concubine Wan say: "Your civil and military officials scold me every day, you don't bother me, but I am annoyed by people who do real things. You have lived for a long time. The temple is so high, I have never seen the hardships of ordinary people, you refuse to run this yamen, I will pay for the money, I don’t count on it when I am alive, I only hope that I will die, and I will have a few maids to worship me in the future!"

The emperor of Chenghua almost froze his face from laughing in the past few days, and he didn't get a few words from the imperial concubine. Hearing that she was willing to talk to him, and the words were so pitiful, his heart suddenly softened, and he embraced the concubine Wan in his arms inside.

Concubine Wan sobbed softly: "You men control the world and treat women as playthings. I didn't like Li Che at first, but now it can be seen that he is a kind-hearted person. If you are also kind-hearted, you should accept his request." Once."

When she said that, how could the Emperor Chenghua not agree?As soon as he encountered the matter of the noble concubine, his mind turned quickly. As soon as he agreed, he even thought about how to use this matter to prove the virtue of the noble concubine. When he left Anxi Palace the next morning, he took Li Che's book Hold it in your hand, and it will be approved on the road.

Rao Li Che didn't expect Chenghua Emperor to agree. He originally planned to spend a few more days, and then joined some colleagues to write a letter, and even prepared to grind for a few months.

It wasn't until the Women's Criminal Division was established and the female officials sent by the palace talked about the benefits of Concubine Wan Gui that everyone understood the reason.

For Emperor Chenghua, the matter of the noble concubine was nothing to worry about. Once he met the noble concubine, his efficiency could directly match that of Li Che.

The officials who impeached Li Che again and again because they were disgusted with this incident suddenly fell silent.

Although the road is still far away, Li Che has already seen the situation several years or even decades later. The female officer came from the palace. For the convenience of movement, her feet would definitely not be too entangled. Those who come to sue or decide the case will gradually let go. If there are too many civilian women who complain, it will drive a large number of people. The female officials who decide the case will have power, and some noble women will let go in order to be elected as female officials. Subtly, any sage's words can be put aside.

Li Che came out of the yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and before getting into the sedan chair, he took a long look at the long line in front of the Female Criminal Division, feeling a little happy for some reason.

When Li Che came back, Li Ning was sitting on the edge of the courtyard wall and playing with Young Master Wang next door, throwing paper balls. Li Che turned a blind eye to it and asked someone to bring her a cushion to put it under the chair. Young Master Wang who was separated by the wall was very nervous. , while looking around and throwing paper balls, fully thinking that the opposite party is just as nervous and happy as him.

Recently, Young Master Wang's classes have been getting tighter. Simple memorization has not troubled him, a genius with a long-term memory. Now he is reading "Four Books Chapters and Sentences" by the sage Zhu Xi. Zhu Xi has collected the essence of his understanding of the Four Books in one book. Because of his special status, no one dared to refute his annotations, which is equivalent to going back to the oven for the books he had read before, and eating what others chewed for him.

Wang Xiaogong is extremely uncomfortable with this. When he read the Four Books, he read the original edition. Unlike other children who just read the Four Books by heart, he has his own understanding of the Four Books. Now when he reads Zhu Xi's commentary, he feels that many of the truths are in line with what he thought. different.

Li Ning has never read Zhu Xi's version, so she can only listen to him talking. Sometimes the two people's understandings match, but they don't match Zhu Xi's theory. Naturally, Li Ning doesn't think that her brother's teaching and her own understanding are wrong. Zhu Xi, who doesn't know who he is, has no awe, which inevitably makes Young Master Wang feel a sense of sympathy.

Compared with this six-year-old servant boy, Wang Shouren, who had always considered himself a good talent, simply felt that he was born too out of date.

Since Sheng Yu, He Shengliang.

The author has something to say: [something to say]

In the last chapter, I saw some friends raised doubts, saying that the Lin family is actually very rich. This is a private setting of the same person, and it is also a controversial subject of red studies. There are many places in the book that testify that the Lin family has no money. The only one that seems to imply is Jia Lian's vague sentence "It will be good to make another 300 to 300 million yuan at this time." Many people far-fetched, saying that the money belonged to the Lin family. Yes, without breaking away from the background, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, women had no inheritance rights. It is stated in the original book that Lin Ruhai had side relatives. Yes, other people say that the Lin family is the family of Liehou, which is similar to Jia's house, and will not be without money. However, Jia's house is the Duke of the country and has a conferred estate. In the original book, Daiyu said that the Lin family has no house and no land. This may be because False finger, it may be taken away by relatives, but it is true that the Lin family is not rich. I have read the Red House many times, and everyone has their own understanding. My understanding is that the Lin family has no money, and Daiyu has nothing to send to others, so they are sensitive Thinking a lot, causing people to pity, others naturally have other people's understanding, everyone has their own opinions, let's seek common ground while reserving differences.
