Tang's dining table

The classic that Di Renjie studied was law.

However, his favorite was Taoism.

Compared with the gentleness that simply ruined Confucianism, he always believed that the attitude of heaven and earth towards people is to let it go and let you fend for yourself.

People must learn to restrain their behavior and act in accordance with the original laws of heaven and earth.

Heavenly principles, laws, and human feelings, these three things are symbiotic and must be complementary.

There is no absolute.

Therefore, Di Renjie believes that some rights of human beings are innate, such as the right to live.

He felt that it was understandable that a person's life could be taken away by disease, by accident, or even by wild beasts, and by hunger.

The only thing that cannot be wasted is life, especially the abuse of life by one's own people. This seems to be something Di Renjie cannot bear.

For this reason, he is willing to give up his usual persistence and seek justice for life itself.

Therefore, when Yun Chu, Di Renjie, and Wen Wen were sitting in the empty Wannian County Death Row Prison, the lights illuminated the faces of the three young people, making them look a little unusual.

"Why do we have to discuss things here?"

"Because I don't have the face to see people, so going darker can hide my embarrassing face."

"We obviously did a good thing, at least it was a good thing in line with the laws of heaven. We can discuss it in broad daylight. I don't think the God of Thunder will suddenly drop thunder and kill us."

"Are you saying that you want me to bring this matter to the court?"

"Obviously, no."

Yunchu stood up and added two more wicks, so the original one-bean light turned into a three-bean light in an instant, and the dim yellow light lit up the originally small prison.

"In the 17th year of Zhenguan, Wei You Wenzhi of Huxian County reported Liu Lancheng, the governor of Daizhou, for treason. Taizong ordered Liu Lancheng to be cut in half. Qiu Xinggong even dug out Liu Lancheng's heart and liver and cooked it."

"Rumors say that Qiu Xinggong has a harsh nature and is intimidated by all his colleagues, so he has no friends."

"Qiu Xinggong was originally a concubine born to a concubine. In the 19th year of Zhenguan, he and his brother rushed to bury his father's concubine, who was his biological mother. This violated the distinction between concubine and concubine and messed up human relations."

"When Qiu Xinggong and Hou Junji visited Gaochang, they were given sixteen treasure carts. When Emperor Taizong punished Hou Junji, he only handed over seven of them, and they were all filled with low-grade sapphire."

"In March of the second year of Yonghui, Qiu Xinggong used other people's ancestral graves to affect the view of his garden, ordered them to be dug up, and the bones were burned."

"In July of the second year of Yonghui, when Qiu Xinggong paid a visit to Fuxi Temple, he compared the beauty of Fuxi's portrait with his."

In May of the third year of Yonghui, Qiu Xinggong met Ma, a woman from Qinzhou, on the road. Seeing her beauty, he suddenly had evil thoughts. He got into the carriage and raped her for seven hours, and then abandoned her on the side of Chencang Road. "

"Yonghui four years..."

It has to be said that as long as you work hard, you can always find some people who don't come out, and Qiu Xinggong is a person who doesn't stick to trivial matters.

When Yun Chu, Di Renjie, and Wen Wen were looking through the documents, they found seventy-six documents in which the censor impeached Qiu Xinggong in just one day.

These documents were indifferent to Qiu Xinggong. If they were really effective, he would have been punished by the court long ago.

However, Yunchu, Di Renjie, and Wen Wenwen were looking for these evidences not to use these evidences to bring him down, but to use these evidences to pave the way for Qiu Xinggong to massacre the Tibetan envoys and create the Xianyang Bridge explosion.

Every node must be connected, and every event seems to be an independent event. However, Di Renjie, what Rou Wen has to do is to add a lead to these independent events and slowly connect them in series.

In order to achieve a perfect result that comes naturally.

One small thing seems to have a slight connection with the messenger case and the bombing case. Two small things have a vague connection with these two cases. Three, four, five, just like this, one by one, they are connected in series. , slowly formed an extremely complete chain of evidence.

In this aspect, Di Renjie is undoubtedly professional.

This is an extremely complex and arduous task that requires exquisite time connection and flawless text narration. It also needs to be mixed with some less obvious fallacies and mistakes.

After all, no criminal can make a case perfect, and it is inevitable that there will be loopholes and mistakes.

Yunchu didn't have the patience to do this kind of work, and at the same time, he couldn't do it well. For Wen Rou, this kind of work was a challenge to his intelligence, so he was very interested in it, even if he didn't eat or sleep. Tighten up.

When Di Renjie was piecing together the case, he became excited unknowingly. Therefore, when Yun Chu saw that Di Renjie and Wen Wen could involuntarily raise their heads and look at each other and smile at times, Yun Chu felt a chill go down his spine.

Everything must start with Qiu Xinggong's prodigal son Qiu Shenji. Only when Qiu Shenji began to be unlucky and imprisoned did Qiu Xinggong come to Chang'an from his fiefdom of Qinzhou.

Therefore, when Wannian County Lieutenant Zhang Jia solved a case of the murder of a foreigner, he suddenly discovered that the matter was related to the Tianshui County Government, so he stopped continuing to investigate the case.

After Yun Chu thought for a long time, he wrote a greeting note to the Tianshui County Duke's office, and planned to visit Tianshui County Duke's son Qiu Shenji in person to ask if he had an affair with him.

This is a very ordinary and trivial matter. In the past, if other wealthy families were involved in a certain case, Wannian County would follow this procedure and come to inquire.

As long as there is a reason that can be explained, for the sake of the face of the country, this matter will be dropped. Wannian County Lieutenant will start the investigation from the beginning. In the end, everyone will laugh and let it go.

This time, when Yunchu's invitation was sent to the Tianshui County Duke's mansion, it was obviously ignored by Qiu Shenji.

On the third day, when it was time to visit Qiu Shenji, Yunchu came to the Tianshui County Duke's residence respectfully in official uniform and the full attire of a Wannian County Magistrate. Unexpectedly, he was greeted by the housekeeper of the Tianshui County Duke's residence. , in front of a crowd of spectators, he actually threw out Yun Chu’s greeting card.

He also said that their house never receives minor officials below the fifth rank.

For the Tang people, this was a great shame and humiliation!

For officials, it's pure contempt.

Then, many people saw that the face of Magistrate Yun, who originally looked handsome, polite, and gentle, looked like he had opened a paint shop.

It turned red at first, then turned green, then black, and finally turned white. It seemed that he swallowed the breath, and said to the housekeeper that he came here for official business, not private matters, and he wanted to see the Duke of Tianshui no matter what. Crown Prince.

Not only did the butler not show any dignity, he also told Yun Chu to take his group of black-footed dogs and get away.

Otherwise, if he offends the eldest son of his family, Yunchu will be thrown into prison, where he will never be able to stand up again.

Yunchu felt that he might not be qualified to be sent to prison, but what this naughty slave said meant that Qiu Xinggong already had the intention to rebel.

When everyone looked at Yun Chu with pity and felt sorry for him, a small official, Yun Chu drew out his sword and cut off the head of the arrogant butler beautifully with one blow, and put the head on the sword On top of that, he led a large group of government servants into the Tianshui County Duke's Mansion.

The onlookers saw that the incident had reached the point of murder. Instead of running away, they cheered loudly for Magistrate Yun's act of killing the arrogant slave.

Some housekeepers from the wealthy families next door shook their heads. Even they couldn't figure out why the Tianshui County government was so humiliating to the local officials who came to visit the house on official business.

No matter how noble you are in the Tianshui County Government, you are still a common person under the rule of Wannian County.

How could he be so arrogant and domineering and force a young and hot-tempered county magistrate to have no way out?

But if he doesn't fight back today or tomorrow, he will definitely not be able to escape the reputation of a cowardly county magistrate. In the future, he will not be able to get the slightest respect from any other high-ranking compound.

Not only that, the Yushi Yanguan will also impeach the young county magistrate. The fate waiting for him will definitely not be as simple as dismissal from office.

"Brother He, Lao Qiu from the Tianshui County Duke's Mansion has gone crazy because of his gain and loss. Can't he just say it properly if he has something to say?

Isn't it just a county magistrate who comes to ask about something? If he explains it clearly, it will be settled. Isn't this making himself unhappy? "

"Alas, Brother Yang didn't know something. I heard that the legless eldest son of the Tianshui County Duke's Mansion was entrusted with an important task by Her Majesty the Queen to investigate some matters in the palace. Recently, the people in the palace were frightened by this eldest son.

No, you are getting arrogant and seeking your own death.

Although people like you and me may seem to have some dignity, to put it bluntly, we are still domestic slaves. It would be strange for a domestic slave to humiliate a Zhengyin County Magistrate like this and not die. "

"Brother He, you said that there are many talented people in the Tang Dynasty. Why did the Queen find the eldest son of the Qiu family to enter the palace alone to inquire about the case?"

Brother He lowered his head and looked at Brother Yang's crotch.

Yang Xiong immediately woke up and nodded repeatedly. His Majesty and the Queen were not here. Who would allow a complete man to enter the harem to investigate the case.

Even when Yun Chu walked into the Tianshui County Duke's Mansion carrying the bleeding head, he secretly lamented his luck in his heart.

I never thought that this stupid housekeeper would give me such a good opportunity to get angry.

When this human head is used up, be sure to remember to ask him to sew the head back on, as a way of thanking him.

Now, he began to hope that the veterans who came down from the battlefield in the Tianshui County Duke's residence would never hold back their tempers and attack him, the Wannian County Magistrate in official uniform, no matter what. .

Only in this way could he smoothly put the charge of rebellion on Qiu Xinggong's head.

This will allow Di Renjie, who is temporarily waiting to serve as the prime minister of Dali Temple, to have room to move.

In any case, before Qiu Xinggong arrives in Chang'an, Qiu Shenji must be firmly nailed to the murder case of the Tibetan envoys and the Xianyang Bridge explosion case.
