rebirth first official

Gao Zhanming and Li Jingruo left the gate of the prefect's mansion, got into the carriage, and drove towards the magistrate's mansion. They ran for a long distance without speaking.

Just now in the eunuch's mansion, Li Jingruo played enough tricks, hugged and kissed Gao Zhanming, frightened the eunuch's wife so much that she never dared to mention anything about her daughter.The play was performed, the loss was suffered, and the goal was achieved. Although Gao Zhanming's expectation was much higher, he still didn't want to ruin his position, so he had to bite the bullet and finish the show.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Gao Zhanming and Li Jingruo said goodbye, and the prefect's wife dared not say anything to keep them for dinner and tea, so she hurriedly sent them out of the mansion.

Gao Zhanming was sitting on the carriage, looking at the scenery along the way outside the window, thinking about what happened just now, and unconsciously raised his hand to touch the corner of the mouth that was kissed by Li Jingruo just now.

Li Jingruo saw it in his eyes, and said frivolously, "Is it worth remembering?"

Gao Zhanming glanced at him sideways and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Li Jingruo leaned forward and said narrowly, "Brother Jun Liang, my reputation has been ruined just to save you from the siege. You must remember that you owe me a favor."

Gao Zhanming sneered: "I owe you a favor?"

Li Jingruo frowned and pondered for a moment, then said: "No, I have suffered such a big loss, how can I owe one favor, at least you owe me three favors."

Gao Zhanming didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I don't know how brother Li wants me to pay back?"

Li Jingruo smiled and said, "It's..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the coachman outside let out a long sigh, and the carriage stopped.

Gao Zhanming lifted the curtain of the car and poked his head out, "What's going on?"

On the road ahead, I saw a man in military uniform viciously beating a civilian man with a whip. The man's skin was torn to pieces, rolling all over the ground and screaming. They dared to approach, but they were all pointing and scolding the beating officer.

Gao Zhanming was surprised that there were still officers and soldiers who dared to bully the common people in broad daylight under the eyes of the public. He jumped out of the car and shouted, "What are you doing!"

The officer stopped his movements and turned around, looking at Gao Zhanming up and down, and Gao Zhanming was also looking at him.There was a knife scar between the man's eyebrows, a pair of bushy eyebrows and eagle eyes, and a very hostile look.He recognized Gao Zhanming and Li Jingruo, took the whip away, cupped his hands and said: "Captain Song Nuo, I have met Mr. Gao and Mr. Li." Li Jingruo's official position is higher than his, Gao Zhanming is still a judge now, and he is supposed to be on the same rank as him. But the two were standing together, so he only gave a polite salute.

Gao Zhanming frowned: "Captain?"

Song Nuo said: "Yes."

Li Jingruo didn't intend to reveal his identity in front of the people, so he didn't make a sound, but whispered behind Gao Zhanming: "He is the captain in charge of recruiting recruits."

Gao Zhanming pointed to the man who was lying on the ground dying of his beating, and asked, "What's going on?"

Song Nuo looked down and said indifferently, "He's a deserter."

Gao Zhanming was startled: "A deserter?"

Song Nuo said: "I fled back to my hometown after only three days in the army. I also follow the rules. Those who escape the corvee will be punished with one hundred lashes."

Gao Zhanming frowned: "Are you executing the execution in the street?"

Song Nuo coldly glanced at the surrounding people and said, "Kill the chickens to scare the monkeys."

The man lying on the ground groaned and crawled towards Gao Zhanming: "Pansi Gao... There are old and young in my family... I am the only one in the family who can farm... Please let me go back."

The people all looked at Gao Zhanming expectantly, and someone pleaded for mercy: "Yes, Mr. Gao, please help him."

"He is a poor man, Gao Qingtian will definitely help him."

Now Gao Zhanming is the blue sky of their parents in the hearts of the people. Whenever there is injustice, Gao Zhanming will definitely help them out!

However, Gao Zhanming only said: "Master Song, where should the execution be carried out in the army? Doesn't the military department have a special punishment room?"

Song Nuo lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Gao Zhanming said: "Don't take him away yet!"

Song Nuo said: "Yes." Lifting up the dying man, he was about to leave.

Seeing that Gao Zhanming didn't save people, the common people continued to persuade him unwillingly: "Master Gao, if you ignore him, he will surely die! With a hundred lashes on him, how can he survive?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Gao, only you can save him."

Gao Zhanming said: "This matter is not my responsibility, sorry I can't take care of it."

The common people continued to pester, Gao Zhanming directly pushed aside the crowd and got into the car.There were sighs all around.

Li Jingruo got into the car and urged the driver: "Let's go."

The carriage started again, Gao Zhanming closed his eyes and leaned in the carriage, the people outside were sighing and sighing.He could vaguely hear other people's comments.

"What's the matter with High Judge! He doesn't care about this kind of thing?"

"That's right, I thought he was a good man, but he really lost his head today."

"What, didn't he implement a decree a few days ago to solve the locust plague? I thought he cared about us poor people. Today... it seems that all officials are virtuous!"

He is not in a good mood.Originally, he had successfully done a few things, and the appreciation of the people made him feel that his efforts were rewarded, so he was full of energy and expectations for the future, but the events of the past two days made him feel a little worried.

Li Jingruo asked, "You want to save him?"

Gao Zhanming was noncommittal, and asked instead, "Do you think I should be saved?"

Li Jingruo shook his head: "It can't be saved." He said again, "Your heart is too soft after all. You still have to practice."

Gao Zhanming nodded: "It cannot be saved."

The expectations of the common people really made him feel a little bit embarrassed, the airs were set too high, but he couldn't go down.The things that the common people gave him gifts in the past let him know that all rules must never be broken.When he accepted a gift from one person, he had to accept more. When others knew that he had accepted a gift, they rushed to give it to him. Later, it became a custom. Look at him differently.

If he followed public opinion and rescued that person just now, he would have exceeded his authority.So what if he saved this one, is he the only one in trouble in the army?Save this one and be fair to the rest?This precedent was set, and in the future everyone will ask him to make decisions about big and small matters. People with sick people don’t want to join the army, people with children don’t want to join the army, and people with elderly people can’t join the army...the government doesn’t have to do it anymore!

Those who are governed by human nature, although they are a little more humane, are often more unfair in the end, because everyone has their own grievances.It would be the most fair if the legal system could be strengthened and the human relationship weakened, because only a dead system is the same for everyone.If you want to remain human under the rule of law, you have to change the law to be more humane.To tolerate people with the law, not with the people, this is what he has to do, not to abuse his power.When he first came to Jiazhou to be a judge, when he decided the first case, he was still very clear-headed, but as time passed, the people's love and public opinion gradually increased, and it actually began to have some influence on him.

Gao Zhanming asked Li Jingruo, "Why do you think I shouldn't be saved?"

Li Jingruo said nothing.

Gao Zhanming said in a low voice: "Yaoran..." Yaoran is Li Jingruo's name, Gao Zhanming seldom calls him that, but always calls him Brother Li or Lord Commander, "Tell me, only you can tell me."

Li Jingruo tapped his chest and said, "You are a person who can do great things. But you still have too many things here."

Gao Zhanming asked him, "How little is enough?"

Li Jingruo said: "That depends on how much you want. The less things you worry about, the more things you can get."

Gao Zhanming closed his eyes again, and after a while he smiled and said, "Then how much brother Li pretended?"

Li Jingruo glanced at Gao Zhanming, turned his gaze out of the window, and said with a smile, "No more."

Gao Zhanming's heart became a little clearer.He said indifferently: "Thank you, Brother Li, for your guidance." If he wants to save the man just now, and even save more people, he must obtain more rights!With a lot of rights, he can change more rules. Isn't changing rules what he is good at?

Gao Zhanming and Li Jingruo returned to the mansion, led the crane to welcome them out, and while taking them into the mansion, he said: "Master, when you were going out just now, a toothmaid and a servant sent by the two adults came outside. Ask me if there is any shortage of filling room in Grandpa's house..."

Gao Zhanming suddenly felt a headache: "Again?" In fact, in the past few months, people have come to inquire about this one after another, wanting to put people in his room, some simply admire him, and some want to establish a relationship with him. He was dismissed, so he didn't take it seriously.But today even Mrs. Liu Taishou made a promise to him, and he finally started to pay attention to this matter.With what Tang Xue and Tang Gan did, he knew that marrying a wife and taking concubines is not just as simple as procreating children. Even if there are benefits, there are also many bad things that come with it. A few women and a few families, he can't afford it.

Gao Zhanming shook his head and walked into the room, and said to himself: "We have to find a way to get rid of these people."

Li Jingruo put his hand on his shoulder, Gao Zhanming turned his head, only to see Li Jingruo with a deep smile on his face: "You really think so?"

Gao Zhanming looked at him suspiciously: "Do you really have a solution?" Before Li Jingruo could answer the words, he laughed himself first: "Come on, I actually asked you, what can you do."

Li Jingruo pursed his lips, squinted his eyes and leaned forward: "You look down on my methods so much?"

Gao Zhanming looked at his displeased look, the gloom in his heart was swept away, and he laughed loudly: "Brother Li, let me tell you, you should have the same troubles as me, right? You played a trick on me, but in fact you also have the same troubles." Solving problems for yourself."

Li Jingruo hugged his chest and said, "Well..."

Gao Zhanming said with a smile: "Come on, since Brother Li... oh no, Brother Li's reputation has been ruined by me today, how about making it easier?"

Li Jingruo raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Gao Zhanming turned his head and said to Yinhe: "If such people come again in the future, you should send them away and tell them that there is already a jealous person in my family. If I dare to recruit a new person, that person will definitely use a knife. Scrape the newcomer's face, chop it up and throw it out to feed the wolves. In order not to harm the good girl, let's forget it."

Li Jingruo: "..."

Yin He couldn't even close his jaw in surprise, and looked back and forth between Gao Zhanming and Li Jingruo.

Gao Zhanming didn't wait for Li Jingruo to refute, and quickly pushed Yinhe out: "Quick, go quickly, do as I say. I am the master of this family, I have the final say!"

Li Jingruo: "..."

Yinhe responded, and ran away in small steps, while running, he kept looking back at Li Jingruo and snickering.

Today at the prefect's mansion, Li Jingruo said that Gao Zhanming was narrow-minded, now that Gao Zhanming had won the game, he suddenly felt pregnant and went back to the mansion humming a little tune.

Li Jingruo stood alone in the yard, looked at Gao Zhanming's back, laughed and shook his head: "This guy... a child can be taught? A rotten wood can't be carved? How can I say he is good..."

There are two flowers blooming, one for each.

Besides, after Gao Zhanming and Li Jingruo left the prefect's mansion, the prefect's wife went back to her room and suppressed the shock for a long time, almost unable to recover.After she figured out what was going on, she immediately rushed to Liu Rukang's study.

Liu Rukang was reviewing official documents, when he saw his wife rushing in aggressively, he was so frightened that he quickly covered his ears.

The prefect's wife rushed forward, pulled off his hand, and asked anxiously: "Then Gao Zhanming..."

Liu Rukang was afraid that she would still want to marry her daughter to Gao Zhanming, so he hurriedly said, "Madam, don't do it!"

The prefect's wife said with displeasure: "What are you talking about? I just want to ask you, is Gao Zhanming the face of Li Jingruo, or is Li Jingruo the face of Gao Zhanming? I've thought about it for a long time, but I still can't figure it out."

Liu Rukang: "..."
