King's Landing [Rebirth]

The county magistrate of Qingxi County came very late, and didn't arrive until the next morning.Knowing that he missed the hour and hadn't finished repairing the posthouse, he first went to the city lord's mansion to plead guilty. Liang Jian received this "late arrival" adult in the warm pavilion.

Xu Ze was in his forties, tall but thin, with fleshless cheeks and protruding cheekbones, and a poor and poor face.The regular clothes he wore had many creases because he traveled day and night in a carriage.It can be seen that he has smoothed it with his hands, but the effect is minimal.Everyone else started their return journey, but he had just arrived, and it seemed to outsiders that he was deliberately putting on airs to embarrass Liang Jian.But this time he really had a reason, not because he didn't take Liang Jian seriously.

Liang Jian didn't sleep well last night. Mei Zhenghan robbed the quilt in the second half of the night and woke up very early. He yawned sleepily, and his face was darker than before.

The fire in the Nuan Pavilion was very hot, Liang Jian asked his servants to bring Xu Ze a stool by the fire to warm him up from the cold, Xu Ze was flattered and thought that Liang Jian would ask him first.

Liang Jian looked at Xu Ze condescendingly, and was not in a hurry to ask why he was late, but casually asked Xu Ze about the situation in his jurisdiction over the past few years.Xu Ze thought that Liang Jian would report on his duties first, and told Liang Jian about the situation in Qingxi County and several surrounding counties, and mentioned the assassination of the county magistrate by Mei Zhenghan in the middle.

Everyone knew that Liang Jian brought his younger brother and sister to take office, but many people didn't know their names, so Xu Ze didn't know that Mei Zhenghan was here.When he mentioned this case, he was very emotional. He had heard of Jiang Yi's name, and he had sent someone to understand the whole incident. He felt sorry for Mei Zhenghan.

"This kid is too impulsive. Killing people can solve the momentary hatred, but it still can't get around the law of the country. If he can endure the momentary anger, he won't become what he is now."

Qiao County is close to Fujian, not too close to Qingxi County. Xu Ze doesn't know much about the situation in this county. He has been there a few times and it feels good. He didn't expect this kind of trouble to happen.He sympathized with Jiang Yi's family in his heart, and thought that if he could see Mei Zhenghan, he could reduce his crimes as appropriate.However, the world is so vast and crowded, Mei Zhenghan might have left Hongye City long ago.

Liang Jian had read Mei Zhenghan's dossier, and what Xu Ze said was within his expectations, but it was reasonable.

"In Master Xu's opinion, if Mei Zhenghan surrenders himself, how will the case be judged?"

Mei Zhenghan's case was actually easy to judge, and Xu Ze had already made up his mind.Xu Ze was a little surprised that Liang Jian was very interested when he suddenly asked.He heard that Song Yuan praised Liang Jian very much, and he thought that Liang Jian was not of Sun Sheng's generation, so he would not handle a muddled case, but this was also the first case he asked about when he took office. Pay attention to Liang Jian's face while speaking.

"Yilu, this person should be hanged..." As soon as Xu Ze finished his first sentence, Liang Jian glanced sideways, his face seemed unhappy, and Xu Ze immediately said, "But this is because the county magistrate If Mei Zhenghan can't avenge his vengeance, he can only kill the enemy with his own hands. If he is willing to turn himself in," Xu Ze looked up at Liang Jian when he said this, and seeing Liang Jian's expression as usual, he felt confident in his heart, and continued: "Should be exonerated."

Liang Jian smiled and said, "Isn't such a trial against the law?"

Xu Ze said: "The minister is thinking that he is filial and willing to surrender, which is an act of benevolence and righteousness, so I would like to show him an extrajudicial favor."

"My lord Xu has a heart. I don't need to be extravagant in my opinion. The death penalty in this case is inevitable. Your lord should think about how to punish him lightly." Liang Jian didn't accept Xu Ze's favor. He looked at Xu Ze with a worried expression on his face. Mei Zhenghan's expression of regret was subtly uncomfortable in his heart.He knows how to protect his people, so he doesn't need others to worry about them.

Xu Ze had been paying attention to Liang Jian's expression since the beginning of the conversation. Seeing that he didn't have much objection to the matter, he thought he would be happy to see Mei Zhenghan exonerated, but he still planned to punish Mei Zhenghan.Now Xu Ze is a bit difficult to deal with, and it is not difficult to say it lightly, but Liang Jian made this statement when he did not convict Mei Zhenghan, so it is worth pondering.

How light does Liang Jian want to be?

Compared with the capital crime, exile into the army is minor, tattooing and exile is minor, and suffering a little bit of flesh and blood is not worth mentioning.Mei Zhenghan's case could have been big or small, but now it is too big or small, Xu Ze is so worried.

"This Mei Zhenghan is still a young man. If the law is really dealt with according to the law, the law is too ruthless and inhumane. Besides, His Majesty advocates filial piety and treats such cases more leniently. In my humble opinion, it is better..."

Xu Ze intended to reply to Liang Jian in this way as a punishment for suffering some flesh and blood, but before he finished speaking, Liang Jian took over.

"It's better to serve in the army."

Xu Ze's words got stuck in his throat, and he subconsciously let out an ah, as if someone had grabbed his throat, his face was full of shock.

Serving in the army is indeed a light crime compared to a capital crime, but it is many times more serious than the pain of flesh and blood. Liang Jian's punishment is lenient, and he is dealt with more severely.Xu Ze couldn't understand what Liang Jian meant, and didn't know what he meant.

Liang Jian changed to a comfortable sitting position and looked at the foolish Xu Ze, rubbing|rubbing the armrest of the chair under her with a relaxed expression, not feeling that there was anything wrong with what she said.Then, as if he thought Xu Ze wasn't depressed enough, he asked with great interest, "What do you think, Lord Xu?"

Xu Ze: "...Going back to the city lord, I think this punishment is too severe."

Liang Jian nodded in agreement, and said: "I think so too, but I remember that there are two cases of serving in the army. One is to push the criminals who have committed serious crimes to the battlefield to build fortifications for war. This is basically to serve the sentence until death. There is room for manoeuvre. The other is to force military personnel who have committed immunizable crimes to serve their sentences and perform meritorious service on the battlefield. This kind of definite serving time is also consistent with Mei Zhenghan’s situation, and I think it is feasible.”

Qiutong Country does have two different military service situations, but because the second situation has disadvantages in some aspects, it will not be applied to civilians under normal circumstances.There is a lot of room for manipulation in terms of serving time in prison and making meritorious deeds. Proper planning can also find a good job for the prisoner in the military camp, so this has also become a way for many dignitaries whose family members have committed crimes to seek benefits.

Xu Ze didn't think about it at the beginning because he thought that a mere Mei Zhenghan was not worth Liang Jian's troubles. Now that Liang Jian pointed out his purpose, Xu Ze was extremely surprised.

He tried his best to conceal his inner surprise, and continued the topic: "The second type of military service in Mei Zhenghan's situation is indeed not too heavy a punishment, and he is not responsible for the serious crime, just serve one or two years in prison."

One year is too short and two years is just right, Liang Jian has no objection to this point: "Does Mr. Xu have any ideas about where to serve?"

Xu Ze has already seen that Liang Jian intends to help Mei Zhenghan, so he became more courageous and responded quickly: "Since this happened in the west of Yunnan, it would be better to send it to Huyakou. Master Shan is a man of temperament , should be able to understand Mei Zhenghan's difficulties."

Huyakou is the place where troops are stationed in western Yunnan, and its leader Shan Chongfei is the lord of Langya City, and the reputation of Qiutong Kingdom is second only to Mu Cheng's Hussar General.This man was born in Caomang in his ancestors, and the Huyakou has a special terrain. Shan Chongfei stepped on the rivers and lakes with half his feet, and treated the righteous people in the rivers and lakes with great courtesy.Mei Zhenghan's temperament should be in line with his temper, and he would not be too difficult for others.

Liang Jian nodded, this was similar to what he had imagined, his initial plan was to let Mei Zhenghan go to Huyakou.Shan Chongfei was the leader of the Northwest Army in the previous life. Mei Zhenghan and him were friends who had forgotten years, and he had promised him to protect the remnants of the Northwest, otherwise Liang Jian would not have taken the opportunity to blackmail him.

Liang Jian and Shan Chongfei didn't get along very well, and Liang Jian couldn't say why, he had no objection to Shan Chongfei, but Shan Chongfei didn't like him very much.When the alliance in the previous life fought against foreign thieves together, Shan Chongfei used his dislike to the extreme, picking Liang Jian's thorns every now and then, making Liang Jian unhappy, and Liang Jian was furious.If it wasn't for Mei Zhenghan's mediation, Liang Jian would definitely turn his back on the spot and fight him.

Although the relationship in the previous life was so bad, Liang Jian had to admit that Shan Chongfei was a capable person, and he was a little inferior compared to him.Moreover, Shan Chongfei treats Mei Zhenghan very well. It can be said that Mei Zhenghan was deeply influenced by him in the formation of the army. If Mo Bei cannot be considered, it is a good choice to send Mei Zhenghan to steal his teacher. .

Anyway, in this life, Liang Jian snatched Mei Zhenghan first, and Shan Chongfei gave Mei Zhenghan many useful things, and he was the one who benefited in the end.

"Huyakou recruits troops in the spring, so set the service time to the beginning of spring next year, and trouble Master Xu to go back and improve the details."

Liang Jian finally mentioned the time of service, Xu Ze nodded and said: "Yes, I will go back and prepare immediately."

After speaking, Xu Ze saluted Liang Jian and was about to leave, but just halfway through the ceremony Xu Ze froze. He looked up at Liang Jian who seemed to be smiling, and then realized that the assumption they were discussing was that Mei Zhenghan surrendered himself. .But now they haven't even seen Mei Zhenghan's shadow, how can they be convicted?Xu Ze knew that he had made a mistake, and was about to apologize to Liang Jian when he suddenly heard a young boy's bright voice behind him.

"Brother, breakfast has been prepared in the kitchen, do you and Mr. Xu want to talk about things after breakfast?"

Xu Ze subconsciously turned around to look, only to see a young man with a bright smile running in like a gust of wind, and bowed his hands politely when he saw him.The young man had handsome features and a radiant look, with a pair of blue eyes shining brightly.

Xu Ze stared at his eyes for a while, then suddenly remembered Mei Zhenghan's strange blue pupils on the arrest warrant.It is rare to see people born with different pupils, let alone in a city, it is impossible for two people to be born with blue pupils by such a coincidence.

Liang Jian looked at Xu Ze who was in a daze, guessing that he had already guessed Mei Zhenghan's identity, so he added fuel to his anger: "This is my younger brother Mei Zhenghan, Master Xu laughed at the young man's naughtiness."

Xu Ze: "...Don't dare, the Second Young Master is young and promising, it's really impressive."

This isn't a joke, it's a damn hell!

Xu Ze complained secretly in his heart, and finally understood why Liang Jian was interested in Mei Zhenghan's case.Looking back at that period of time just now, it is like walking through the gate of hell. Liang Jian did not directly talk about his relationship with Mei Zhenghan, but asked about the case first. Han served, observing Xu Ze's reaction step by step.

Xu Ze was afraid after thinking about it for a while, thinking that even a hornet's nest would not be able to poke Liang Jian so much.He secretly wiped off his sweat, thankful that he was leaning towards Mei Zhenghan in this matter.

Liang Jian's case was pretty much the same, and he was quite satisfied with Xu Ze on the whole. He stood up and greeted him: "Mr. Xu must have not eaten after a long journey. Since I have prepared my lord, you are welcome. I just want to ask you about The reason for being late."

Xu Ze has suffered a huge physical and mental shock, and now he doesn't want to stay for a moment longer.But Liang Jian deliberately pressed the reason for his late arrival at the end, he couldn't directly refuse and had to bite the bullet and agree.
