[Red Mansions] Guide to "The Empress of the Wise"

Shan Zhang patted the gavel hard, and asked: "Is that your son standing in the hall?"

"No, no, that's not my son, I don't want to sue, I don't want to sue." Mother Cai waved her hands again and again, and at first she could hear what she said, but then the dialect slang came out, and even the translator could hear it. Not sure what she was muttering about.

Such words are supposed to be more beneficial to Cai Duoxing, but the lawyer who came with him frowned secretly. Such a flawed rhetoric cannot be concealed from Shan Zhang, but it will set him on fire instead. The thing is, there is already a loophole in the alibi of Cai Duoxing from the inn, and now that Cai's mother is refusing again, it's hard to get over it.

The lawyer secretly complained that Uncle Xiang's mansion had no sense in doing things, and Shan Zhang had seized the loophole and began to question Cai's mother.

Cai's mother is a commonplace person, neither knowledgeable nor courageous, she speaks upside down, let Shan Zhang guide to tell the truth, and finally ask her, "Is Cai Duoxing your son?"

Cai's mother quickly waved her hands inconsistently and said, "No, no."

Any fool can see that she was instigated by others. In order to obtain evidence, Shan Zhang directly arranged for the little official to do a blood test, and it turned out that Cai's mother and Cai Duoxing were indeed mother-child.

"My lord, the students have never been able to bear their parents, and I don't know what happened to the old mother. She is a woman, and she has never seen so many people in her life. Sometimes she is frightened for a while, students..." The person who had just interrogated Cai's mother Sometimes Cai Duoxing didn't speak up, but now he has something to say.

"Shut up, you!" The lawyer tugged at Cai Duoxing's sleeve, slandering: I have been a juren after many years of examination, but I have passed such a straw bag to be a biography, are all civil and military people blind?Sure enough, all geniuses are always underappreciated!

Shan Zhang couldn't stand Cai Duoxing being so stupid, and the officer who just went to collect the evidence came back, and Shan Zhang quickly understood the case.

"The innkeeper, you said that Cai Duoxing was not in the inn that day, so why did some diners testify that Cai Duoxing was there at that time!" Shan Zhang passed on that those who failed in this subject thought that they would live with Cai Duoxing The owner of an inn is naturally not a wealthy family, but an ordinary scholar.He came to the hall and briefly explained the situation of the conflict that day, and said: "There were not only students present that day, but the spring has passed, and many people have packed their bags and returned to their hometowns. The rest are from people near the inn. Only the student has been ill for a few days. , delayed the return trip, never thought that with this opportunity, the innocent woman would be innocent."

People who live near the capital are more knowledgeable than other places, so they don't want to get involved in this kind of lawsuit. Therefore, when the officers went to collect evidence, only this failed candidate came to testify.

The servants presented the valuable gold and jade jewelry newly bought by the female relatives of the shopkeeper's family.Only then did the shopkeeper admit that someone had given him money for perjury, but he didn't know who it was. "The villain was knocked out and blindfolded and went to a strange place. The man gave the villain money to testify, and said that if he dared to talk nonsense, he would make the villain's family suffer a terrible death. Master Qingtian, Xiaoren People are also forced to be helpless!"

The situation became more and more unfavorable for Cai Duoxing, so Shan Zhang interrogated all the people who stayed in the inn with Cai Duoxing again, and asked Cai Fan's case again, and announced his resignation, and the trial will be retried tomorrow.

The facts of the case are so clear, so naturally there is no doubt. The controversial part is how to determine the sentence. I heard that His Majesty is also very concerned about this matter, and the tricks in the trial process are not something that a new Jinshi Cai Duoxing can do.Although Shan Zhang was jealous of evil, he might not be a fool to be the Minister of Dali Temple. He retreated on the spot on the grounds that it was getting late, and immediately wrote a note to test His Majesty's intentions.

Wang Shuo raised the booklet in his hand and said with a smile, "Uncle Xiangmu's mansion has been tricked, right?"

"That's not true." Tu Geng took the note handed over by the secret guard, and said: "The intention of doing such a trick full of loopholes is obviously to drag Xiangmu Bo's mansion into trouble, but there are really fools in Earl Fu's mansion, look, go up Hurrying to be trampled on."

Wang Shuo took it over and took a look. Sure enough, the person who sent someone to threaten the innkeeper and instigate Cai's mother was Uncle Xiangmu's brother who was planning to marry Cai Duohang's concubine daughter. It is so stupid that the plan can be implemented, and it is not known when it is used as a gun.

"Who did it?" Wang Shuo asked curiously.

"Guanglu Temple Shaoqing Zhou Rusong." Tu Geng smiled faintly and handed Zhou Rusong's information to Wang Shuo.

"The minister of Guanglu Temple is old and sick, and he will retire soon. Zhou Rusong and Uncle Xiang Mu are both young ministers. Is Zhou Rusong crazy to want to be a minister?" Wang Shuo sighed, a position of minister of Guanglu Temple is worth it ?

"It's okay to want to climb up. Who doesn't want to be in a high position, but at this critical moment, doing such a stupid little trick makes people upset. Well, Zhou Rusong will be Dian Bo, let him work in Guanglu Temple for the rest of his life .” Tu Geng said angrily.

"You are really determined. From Qipin, I heard that Zhou Rusong's son has a great reputation. The son does not suppress the father. You are preventing the two generations of the Zhou family from being promoted." Wang Shuo teased, and then asked: "How is Cai Duo doing?" ?”

"According to the law, be serious!" As soon as the four words came out of Tu Geng's mouth, Wang Shuo knew that Cai Duoxing's life was ruined.

"What about Cai Fan?"

"Sentence and Li." Tu Geng said softly, "I know you don't want to see people suffer, so you just keep her in Zhuangzi and do some sewing."

"Oh, isn't it? I think it's not because of anything else, but because she protects her son well. This case has caused a lot of trouble, but so far, how many people have seen Cai Fan's case?" Son? When the limelight passes in the future, her son will be able to live like an ordinary person again. Being a mother is strong, which makes me feel very grateful." Wang Shuo confessed.

"It's your soft heart." Tu Geng smiled, and said: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about these troublesome things, there is a room full of people, at least there is a sensible person, this Li Tianshen can see the right time to testify for Fan, It can be regarded as living up to the books I have read for decades, and I still understand the importance in my heart."

"Naturally, Cai Duoxing is just an exception, and there are still a majority of scholars with a strong character." Wang Shuo responded with a smile.

"Educating the common people for so many years, scholars should have some knowledge." Tu Geng said.

Wang Shuo flattered him knowingly, "It's because of His Majesty's ability to govern the country that all the talents in the world can be recruited!"

"You're kidding me, right?" Tu Geng and Wang Shuo were having fun.

"By the way, tell me when you deliver the decree to Shan Zhang, and I'll ask someone to tell him a few words. Cai Fan was wronged." Wang Shuo avoided him, as if saying something casually.

Tu Geng responded with a smile.

Zhao Xi sold Wang Shuo's face to deliver the decree, and directly handed it over to Ye Benli, the chief eunuch in charge of Fuxi Palace. Holding the false title of deputy steward of the main hall is also a manifestation of the relationship between Tu Geng and Wang Shuo.

Ye Benli was full of airs, and he repeated His Majesty's holy judgment about Cai Duoxing, and said: "Fan's natal family has no one, her husband's family is feuding, and she has no livelihood. Let her be reconciled, and give her her son as well."

The son's surname is Cai, so there is no such reason in the world. Shan Zhang wanted to tell the difference, but seeing Ye Benli's smiling face, he couldn't tell what His Majesty meant.

"My lord Shan, let me talk too much. As far as this case is concerned, Cai Duoxing clearly wants to abandon his wife and deny his parents. They all say that his father is kind and his son is filial. This father is not kind. How can he force his son to be filial. The kind mother's heart, from Guangdong to the capital, has protected her son for thousands of miles, and it is not a good idea to award him to her?" Ye Benli analyzed very politely.

Shan Zhang didn't dare to take Ye Benli's words as a polite suggestion, and quickly expressed his acceptance.The case was quickly closed. Cai Duoxing was deprived of his honor and was banned from re-entering the examination room for life. Cai Duoxing and Cai Fanshi reconciled.

The case of abandoning his wife, which had been so noisy for a while, was finally settled.

As for Zhou Rusong, the minister of Shangyuan Guanglu Temple in the imperial court, who was unfavorable in handling affairs, collided with the holy driver, was demoted to Dianbo, was reprimanded by the Xiangmubo Mansion, and Lin Yuanan, the deputy chief examiner of Enke, served as the minister of Dali Temple. These are not the concerns of the people watching the excitement within range.

At the top, all the ministers also thought that His Majesty was rewarding him for meritorious deeds. Lin Yuanan was an old man in the hidden mansion. His Majesty was showing that even if he made some mistakes, would His Majesty be willing to tolerate him?For a moment, the courtiers began to ponder again.

Fan, who had restored her original surname, cleaned up neatly and was brought into the fairy palace by a woman who looked like a fairy. The two immortals sat high on the clouds. Greetings, please greet the empress." After speaking, she seemed to feel that something was wrong, and after a pause, she shouted three more times, "Thousands, thousands, thousands!"

Wang Shuo burst out laughing, she was about to wake up, but when Fan interrupted her, she burst out laughing.

The Empress Dowager also smiled and raised her forehead. It is normal for a woman not to be familiar with court rules. She smiled and waved her hand to signal the female officer not to pursue the matter. She said softly to Fan, "Get up and set up a seat for her."

Having a seat in front of the Empress Dowager is a blessing only given by the old imperial orders accumulated over the years. After hearing this order, the palace people knew that they could not be neglected, and quickly put back the disdain on their faces. Bring the embroidery stool.

Fan Shi was so frightened that he waved his hands again and again, then knelt down on the ground with a thud, and said, "You don't need to sit, you don't need to sit, I can just stand, I can just stand."

She was still kneeling, but she said she was standing, she seemed really scared.

Wang Shuo and the Empress Dowager whispered for a while, smiled and told Gong'e to retreat, leaving only a few people in the hall to wait on them.

There were fewer people, and the Fan family gradually calmed down. He wrapped a tight handkerchief and greeted the queen mother and empress again.

Wang Shuo came here to study, so he didn't speak, and only watched the Queen Mother ask questions.

The Queen Mother asked: "Fan Shi, how do you plan to live in the future?"

"The folk woman can do needlework. After being in the prison for a while, I have raised my hands. I... the housewife can still do it for a few years." Dry, and there are free meals to eat, which is already pampered.

"Then what about your son?" Queen Mother asked.

"The woman works hard, saves money, and sends him to study. In the future, she will also be a good official like Lord Qingtian!" Fan stammered.

"Every time Zhengyi slaughters more dogs, most of them are scholars who are ungrateful. Isn't Cai Duoxing an example, and you still want to send your son to study?" the Queen Mother asked.
