The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Qi Feng cried and told the story of his and Ni Xian's conspiracy.

"Then Lu Ping was raped and killed by Ni Xian! Afterwards, the Ni family spent a full five thousand taels of silver in order to get the Lu family to keep their mouth shut! The Lu family originally wanted to sell their beautiful daughter at a good price..."

"When the Tian family father and son complained for the first time, Uncle Ni... No, that old traitor Ni Kuo said in front of us that there is no need to be afraid of those mud-legged Tian family, the county magistrate will definitely help him, and he also asked us to be in charge of the county magistrate After the verdict is pronounced, teach Tian Lu a lesson!”

"I bullied a few people, but I never killed them! I'm not as cruel as Ni Xian and Yan Shoudao. I'm afraid of getting into trouble, so I only dare to instigate a few people to hurt others! Yan Shoudao is the real cruel one. He has disabled no less than three people! His family is a big businessman, so he is not afraid of anything happening!"

"Although I have bad deeds as a student, I am not stupid! What does Ni Xian mean to me? He is nothing! A son of a real noble family and a high-ranking official in Ning'an County, even if he is a man stealing and a woman prostitute behind his back, he is always upright on the surface. Gentleman, absolutely Don't leave any excuse for others. Only a little dude like Ni Xian who can't see a higher realm and has no ambition can dominate the academy! In my eyes, you are not even as good as a child from a humble family!"

"If you don't believe me, you can ask, students have always been thief-minded and courageous! I am definitely the most careful among the four people and have done the least bad things. If I become the main culprit, no one in the academy will believe it!"

"Ni Xiantai is nothing! That time when I was having dinner with my classmates, I accidentally said something he didn't like, and he slapped me on the spot! Yes, my family background is not as good as his, but I am still his right-hand man, even me If he wants to fight, what else can't he do? "

Fang Yun asked: "Do you remember that Ni Xian or Ni Kuo once bribed Ji Zhibai?"

Qi Feng was stunned, gritted his teeth and said, "I know they bribed the predecessor, Lian Dianshi, and the current chief registrar, Mr. Shen. The student knows that you are not on good terms with Ji Zhibai, but Ji Zhibai did not accept any money from the Ni family. But Ji Zhibai doesn’t have any good intentions, he did this to sacrifice Tian Lu for the support of the famous family behind the Ni family!”

"Oh, how about Ni Kuo?" Fang Yun asked.

"Ni Xian, his father, is not a fuel-efficient lamp! Please listen to me carefully..."

Trial in separate courts. The four young defendants are all in separate courts and are being tried by Fang Yun at the same time. Everything they say will be recorded in the code.

Whether it is Qi Feng, Yan Shoudao or Ge Ju, they are all constantly repenting and exposing others to accumulate evidence for Fang Yun.

As for Ni Xian, he never mentioned a word about his faults and was even more vicious than the other three.

"Qi Feng is just my follower on the surface, but he is the strategist among us, and he plans many things! He is the worst person among us!"

"Yan Shoudao has the worst temper and gets angry whenever he is provoked. We secretly treat him as a fool!"

"Ge Ju looks honest, but he is more sinister than us! There is one thing that others don't know, but I know that he is afraid that his brother will compete with him for the family property, so he secretly bribes a prostitute to ruin his brother's reputation!"

"Sir, I am really unjust. I am obsessed with evil. From today on, I will change my ways and never harm anyone again! Lord Xu Sheng, please spare me. I am the only one in our family..."

Fang Yun is extremely courageous and talented. Let alone four people being tried together, even twenty people can be tried with ease. What's more, there are records in the code, but it is too expensive to continue to use the code.

After a full three-quarters of an hour, the four people were so thirsty that they couldn't find anything serious, so they started talking about all kinds of trivial things.

During the trial, Fang Yun compiled some testimonies and sent them to the Xingdian and Lidian of the Holy Court. Before the trial ended in the branch hall, he received a document jointly delivered by the Xingdian and Lidian.

"Wow..."

A strange voice sounded, and the light emitted from outside the code retracted, ending the separate trial, and Fang Yun's eyes dimmed slightly. This was a sign of excessive consumption of talent and literary courage.

Fang Yun was stunned and said: "Ni Kuo, do you know your guilt?"

Everyone was stunned, wondering if Fang Yun had remembered the wrong name. It was Ni Xian who bullied Tian Lu. Why did Fang Yun call him his father first after hearing the case?

The power of the white light shackles dissipated, and Ni Kuo stood up with difficulty, his legs trembling slightly.

Ni Kuo glanced at the four young defendants headed by Ni Xian and found that all four of them had very bad expressions. They seemed to understand something and looked up at Fang Yun.

The sorrowful look on Ni Kuo's face disappeared, replaced by a faint fierce look, and said: "County Magistrate Fang, you are a virtual saint, but after all you are just a Jinshi in the imperial examination! You first detained Dean Hong, and then put us in Damn it, you are an enemy of all the nobles in Ning'an County! You are an enemy of all the scholars in Ning'an County!"

Some of the nobles present originally supported Fang Yun, but when they heard what Ni Kuo said, their hearts suddenly trembled. Could it be that Fang Yun, a young man from a humble family, really wanted to oppose the entire noble family?

"It's a pity that you don't understand..." Fang Yun said in the middle of his words, and suddenly slapped the cliff, his tongue burst with spring thunder, and the sound spread throughout the county.

"Ni Kuo, a student, did not teach his son strictly, causing a large number of innocent people to suffer. This is a mistake, not a crime. However, his son raped and killed the girl Lu Ping, and he bribed the Lu family with silver; his son killed the student Tian Lu, and he bribed the official with silver; his son made mistakes, and he repeatedly covered up for him. This is the crime of abetment! This county pronounced that Ni Kuo, a student, forged evidence, retaliated against witnesses, sheltered criminals, bribed and abetted others, repeatedly, and was sentenced to multiple crimes and years! Moreover, because Ni Kuo, a student, did not know the etiquette and laws as a scholar, and did not know how to educate his father, he was really a betrayal of the grace of the emperor, and his crime was extremely serious. He was deprived of his position as a student! Deprived of the qualification for the imperial examination! He was caned 100 times, paraded through the streets for three days, and exiled to the frontier for 170 years!"

After this voice spread throughout the county, the civilians who had heard of the crimes of the Ni family immediately cheered loudly. Ni Kuo and Ni Xian were notorious, and countless people were harmed by the Ni family.

However, many people from the gentry or scholars were very surprised. Except for the occasional years of overlap in the case of Yunguo, the laws of all countries have upper limits. Fang Yun suddenly used it in Ning'an County. This was to put Ni Kuo to death and not give Ni Kuo any chance to turn over. However, the most important thing is not the overlapping of years!

The most important thing is to deprive him of his status as a tongsheng and his qualification for the imperial examination!

In the human race, generally speaking, even murder will not deprive one of his literary position. It will only happen when he commits extremely bad crimes, such as killing many people indiscriminately or rebelling against the race.

Today, Fang Yun deprived Ni Kuo of his status as a tongsheng on the grounds of "failing the grace of the emperor". Although there is no problem in name, the implications are somewhat terrifying.

When the human race judges cases in various places, if they encounter cases that are difficult to sentence, they often refer to relevant precedents.

Once Fang Yun's case is recognized by the Ministry of Justice of Jingguo and the Palace of Justice, and the Palace of Rites does not overturn it, then once there is a similar case, the judge can deprive the next person of his literary position and qualification for the imperial examination!

The holy way is supreme, and the imperial examination is the only ladder in the early stage! .
