Even if Bao Zheng is used to hearing others call himself a miser, now he hears Kou Ji's words, his cheeks are a little hot.
The honest Bao Zheng didn’t know how to lie in front of Kou Ji, so he whispered a little weakly: “I was passing Ma Xing Street today and saw a trousers brother bullying a salesman who was illiterate. I wanted to take this. Taking advantage of the shopkeepers, but the students are not angry, so I went up and took care of it.
In order to thank the students, the shopkeeper gave the students more than ten cents.
When the student refused to accept it, the salesman guessed the identity of the student. Knowing whether the student was an official or an upright official, he insisted on taking a pack of cakes to thank the student.
The student still refused to accept it. The shopkeeper said that if the student did not accept it, he looked down on him and insisted on holding on to the student.
The students can't hold him back, so they can only accept his heart. "
After hearing what Bao Zheng said, Kou Ji opened his mouth slightly and couldn't say a word. Praise him for being a clean and honest official. Kou Ji couldn't say it. Call him a piece of wood, and he did it right.
So Kou Ji was speechless for a while.
Seeing Kou Ji's face in astonishment, Bao Zheng asked cautiously: "Mr. Doesn't it feel right?"
Kou Ji wanted to let Bao Zheng get out, but he opened his mouth and did not say anything. The words in his stomach turned into a thick sigh.
"Hey… "
Seeing Kou Ji staring at the cake in his hand, Bao Zheng sighed, hesitated, and said: "If you like it, take it and eat it. When the students come back, they will bring it back to you.
For the remaining salary of the students, buying some cakes is not a problem. "
Kou Ji rolled his eyes, and put a Da Ma Jindao on the seat, and said angrily: "You are not an idiot. Why do you humiliate me with a bag of pastries?"
Bao Zheng grinned, "Mr. is a clean and honest official, and he is not the kind of person who accepts bribes. I heard that Wen Yanbo and others came to Beijing with precious gifts to visit, and the husband asked them to take them back.
It can be seen that Mr. is noble and clean. "
Kou Ji glared at Bao Zheng and shouted: "So you Bao Shilang made a special visit to see if I had accepted bribes, so that I could go to the prison of your criminal department to ask for crimes?"
Bao Zheng said: "The students dare not."
Kou Ji pointed his finger at the seat next to him, and said angrily: "Find a place to sit on your own, don't let me invite you."
Bao Zheng hurriedly nodded in agreement, and found a place closest to Kou Ji to sit down.
Kou Ji glanced at Bao Zheng and said, "I heard that you Bao Zheng is a busy man. So your classmate invited you to drink and admire the moon. Why did you have time to come to my house
Is it because I was afraid that someone would accept bribes and violated the king's law, so I brought a bag of pastries to remind me? "
Bao Zheng smiled bitterly: "Students have no intention of humiliating Mr. Mr. Why is he holding on to this matter?"
Kou Ji blew his beard and stared: "That's because you are a wood!"
Upon hearing this, Bao Zheng immediately knew where the resentment in Kou Ji's tone came from, and he smiled bitterly and did not speak.
Seeing that Bao Zheng didn't mean to mention this matter, Kou Ji sighed and stopped mentioning this matter.
"Let's talk about it, why are you looking for me?"
Bao Zheng straightened up and said with a serious face: "Students have recently cleaned up the files of the Criminal Ministry and found some old cases with many improprieties, so they wanted to reinvestigate and collect evidence and try the case.
However, most of those old cases have been concluded.
If the students want to re-trial, they must get the approval of the Shangguan, and they must also check the files of Dali Temple. "
At this point, Bao Zheng slowly closed his mouth.
Kou Ji snorted, "I was embarrassed, so I asked for help?"
Bao Zheng nodded solemnly and said: "It's a matter of life, and students can't give up easily."
Kou Ji sighed: "You, you, you have to make yourself a lone minister. Now that the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple have concluded the trial, it means that many officials of the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple have recognized the prior verdict.
If you want to reverse the case, isn't that just slapping people in the face and saying that they are incompetent
People don't embarrass you, who do you embarrass? "
Bao Zheng said solemnly: "Human life is at stake. Even if a person has already been sentenced to death, his innocence still has to be paid back. Wang Shangshu has approved the students to investigate the old case, but the people below do not cooperate very much, and the students at Dali Temple are not allowed to do so. Go and read the file."
Kou Ji faintly said: "Wang was once a person who hadn't squandered his life. Soon after he went to the Criminal Department, many unjust cases handled by the Criminal Department had nothing to do with him, so he would naturally not embarrass you. It is normal for the people below to embarrass you, because once you find out Big omissions, their jobs will have to be smashed.
Most cases were sentenced by the Dali Temple, and the sentence was also determined by the Dali Temple.
The people at Dali Temple should be held accountable if the grass kills human lives.
Therefore, it is normal for the people at Dali Temple to embarrass you. "
Bao Zheng said sternly: "In homicide cases, black is black, and white is white. Don't let many people die for fear of losing their jobs. If the people in Dali Temple have been making such judgments, then they will be corpse-bit vegetarian meals and should be dismissed. "
Kou Ji stared at Bao Zheng and asked, "If you insist on doing this, you are likely to become a lone minister. In the court, you will end up not very well."
Bao Zhengyi said righteously: "If students are afraid of ending, students will not say what they say today. What's more, Mr. Liu used to investigate and deal with six books, and his methods are much more powerful than those of students.
Didn’t the husband become a lone minister? "
Kou Ji was angrily laughed by Bao Zheng, "Can you compare with me?"
Bao Zheng solemnly said: "Students naturally can't compare with her husband, but students like her husband's behavior very much."
Kou Ji let out a sigh of relief, "It's a shame that the official is a Mingjun, and I can cover your husband again. Otherwise, if you are an official like this, you will definitely not end well."
Bao Zheng said solemnly: "Students are not afraid that they will not end well..."
Kou Ji raised his brows and said sternly: "You would be happy if you implicate your family? I have a punishment for imprisonment, but if there is no imprisonment, I have no objection to you.
But if there is a penalty of conviction, you have to consider it for your family.
You did not give the lives of some of them.
You have no reason to take them to death. "
Bao Zheng frowned and said, "But if students are officials, if they don't help justice, they might as well be improper officials."
Kou Ji glared at Bao Zheng, "I didn't say that you are not allowed to help justice, but you have to pay attention to the method. For example, if you ask me for help today, you can write a letter to the official, and the official will order it.
With the holy edict in hand, who dares to stop you
If you hire an official, not only will the official see your integrity and loyalty, but also those who hold grudges against you will be treated as a rat. "
Bao Zheng thought about it for a moment, and said, "Students have been taught."
Kou Ji said indifferently: "You can write this matter back as a memorial and send it to the political affairs hall, and I will report it to the official. With the current nature of the official, I believe it will not be rejected.
But I have to remind you that old cases are not easy to investigate. You'd better go to the forensic clinic and ask one or two skilled workers for help.
When trying a case, it is best to try the case clearly.
Don't rush to decide the case before the trial is clear. "
Bao Zheng frowned and said, "Students can't squander their lives."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "I'm afraid that you will be framed and calculated and convicted of an unjust, false, and wrong case."
Bao Zheng pondered for a moment, and solemnly said: "The students will be careful."
Kou Ji nodded and said nothing. He must remind him that he should be reminded, lest Bao Zheng be calculated and lost his official position.
Nowadays, the methods and methods of handling cases are relatively primitive.
Kou Ji knew no fewer than ten ways to kill people that he couldn't see later.
Bao Zheng's time involved in criminal law is not too long. Compared with those old officials, it is more than a little bit worse. If someone stumbles Bao Zheng, if Bao Zheng is not careful, he may not be able to see it.
After Kou Ji told Bao Zheng, seeing Bao Zheng still not leaving, Kou Ji asked, "What else?"
Bao Zheng hurriedly said: "Deng Wengu..."
When Kou Ji heard Bao Zheng mention Deng Wengu, a smile appeared on his face.
The Dengwen Drum has a long history. It can be traced back to last week. It was mostly set up in the capital for the common people's grievances, or the common people's complaints against the people's feelings.
According to historical records, during the Northern Song Dynasty, Bao Zheng governed Kaifeng Mansion, following the example of Dengwen Drum, set up the Drumming Drum, and stood outside Kaifeng Mansion to provide the people with favorable conditions for redress.
After Kou Ji entered the dynasty, he grabbed Bao Zheng's political achievements and set up Dengwen Drums in various places in advance.
Because of Kou Ji's identity, he used the name Dengwengu for the Dengwengu set up in various yamen, and did not change the name.
Kou Ji snatched Bao Zheng's political achievements in the history books, and now the master proposes the matter face to face, Kou Ji feels quite refreshed.
Kou Ji smiled and said, "What's wrong with Deng Wengu?"
Bao Zheng clasped his fist and said: "Dengwengu is a good governance established by Mr. Dengwengu. Since the advent of Dengwengu, there have been a lot of things that people ignore the laws of the country, and things that people don't appoint officials and do not investigate are greatly reduced.
But the students felt that whether it was the Dengwen Drum in front of the palace gate or the Dengwen Drum in front of the yamen in various places, the rules set up were relatively harsh.
Many people are so afraid of the rules that sound the Dengwen drum, which makes them afraid to approach the yamen and complain about their grievances.
Therefore, the students think it should be corrected. "
Hearing this, Kou Ji nodded and said: "To file a court case requires one hundred responsibilities. Many people were killed by the guards of the Imperial Guard before Dengwen Drum before they came to Dengwen Drum.
The government office is sixty, the prefecture is thirty, and the county is twenty.
If you encounter a black-hearted servant, you will indeed die. "
Bao Zheng nodded solemnly and said: "Being an official is to be the master of the people. If you use jail to scare the people away, you will somewhat lose your original intention of being an official."
Kou Ji asked, "How do you think it should be changed?"
Bao Zheng said solemnly: "Students think it should be halved."
Kou Ji groaned and shook his head, "halving will kill people."
Bao Zheng pondered for a moment, and nodded in agreement, thinking of the skillful execution methods of the servants.
Some old servants can inflict internal injuries with a few sticks without hurting people's skin or flesh.
Even some people can vomit blood with a stick.
Kou Jisi thought about it for a while, and said: "The court judge should be cancelled and a fine of silver should be changed."
Bao Zheng frowned and said: "In this way, a lot of corruption will breed."
Kou Ji sighed: "At least corruption will not kill people. When you come back, you will tell the matter and let the officials discuss it. I will also discuss with the officials.
It is best for the people to file a complaint, and not to be punished unless it is determined to be a false accusation.
How to fine and how much should be fined, the amount should be set.
Make sure that the people can accept it, and can't force people to death.
Through the Da Song Newspaper, this matter was communicated to the people, so that the people could know the matter clearly and the amount of fines, which greatly avoided local corruption.
In addition, in order to avoid false accusations, certain thresholds should be established.
Only when the local government is not satisfied with the verdict can appeal to the next higher government.
So back and forth, until the imperial state.
The execution was judged by the Dali Temple, so the yamen on the ground were not afraid of killing people in order to suppress the case. "
Bao Zheng nodded intently and said: "You should check the local major and important cases and homicide files in a timely manner to avoid local rashes of human lives."
Kou Ji sighed: "It takes a lot of manpower to fine-tune criminals."
Bao Zheng looked at Kou Ji earnestly and said, "According to Mr., only the local government can appeal to the higher-level government after it is dissatisfied with the verdict. The more you go up, the less manpower you need.
The imperial court can completely reduce the manpower at the top and assign them to the bottom. "
Kou Ji nodded and said: "What you said is right, but if you want to solve this matter completely and avoid its omissions, you need a complete set of criminal laws to support.
In other words, the criminal law had to be greatly changed, and the court's criminal law had to be adjusted. "
Bao Zheng stared at Kou Ji and asked, "Mr. has the courage to use the law of business, don't you dare to use the law of punishment?"
Kou Jishi laughed and said: "Nonsense. The reason why you are gradually sent back to Beijing is to prepare for the subsequent revision of other laws. This includes the criminal law.
I wanted to wait until you got a firm foothold in the court.
But it seems that you have adapted to the court so quickly.
It's time to do it. "
Bao Zheng pondered and said, "Sir, does he want students to be pawns?"
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "Just wait to help the court bleeding. Now the court does not need any pawns."
When Kou Ji didn't enter the room before, he naturally needed a pawn to fight and make a way for him.
Now that he has entered the hall, he can draw conclusions after discussing with Zhao Zhen, and he doesn't need any pawns at all.
Kou Ji and Bao Zheng finished talking about business matters.
Kou Ji stared at Bao Zheng and sighed: "Boy, make more friends when it's time to make friends. Don't make yourself a lone minister. Now there are no hills in the court, and no lone minister is needed."
Bao Zheng glanced at Kou Ji without speaking.
Kou Ji thought he didn't want to talk at first, but after carefully observing his eyes, his face turned black.
Bao Zheng's different eyes were like telling Kou Ji.
There are not as many hills on the Chaotang as before. That's because the Kou's hill is too big and all the other hills are crushed to death.
Now Kou's family dominates the mountain.
"roll!"
Kou Ji was not polite to Bao Zheng and decisively let Bao Zheng get out.
Knowing that Kou Ji was not really angry with him, Bao Zheng smiled and got up and bowed, and walked out of the study.
Seeing that Bao Zheng was about to take home the cakes he brought back, Kou Ji shouted again with a dark face, "Who have you ever seen come to visit and take the gift away?"
Bao Zheng was taken aback, smiled and put down the cakes, and hurriedly left Kou Ji's study.
After Bao Zheng had left, Kou Ji gasped and said: "Dog Ri's words don't know how to turn and are not afraid of death. No wonder the official can be forced to sit on the seat and let him spit on his face...
The official didn’t cut him down, he was really kind...
If I spit on my face from him, I can bury his whole family..."
Kou Ji was unscrupulous by Bao Zheng, and also told some things that happened in the history books.
"The grandfather is going to bury whose family? Say it, and the concubine instructs the guards in the house to get people."
Xiang Yan carried a bowl of ginseng soup and smiled and entered the study.
Kou Ji held the ginseng soup from Xiang Yan while rolling his eyes and said, "Am I the one who likes the life of the grass?"
Xiang Yan smiled and said, "It's because Xianggong you don't like the life of the sage, so the concubine helps you."
Kou Ji glanced at Xiang Yan, not wanting to speak, and took a spoonful of ginseng soup to his mouth.
Seeing this, Xiang Yan smiled and said, "Who is so angry with me?"
Kou Ji put down the spoon and said angrily: "What do you mean?"
"Bao Zheng?!"
Xiang Yan said with a smile.
Kou Ji glared at Xiang Yan and said, "You obviously saw him, and you asked me?"
Xiang Yan smiled and said, "You have to ask who the Xianggong wants to bury before you can start."
Kou Ji curled his lips and said nothing.
Xiang Yan knew him and knew that he was joking, so she dared to say so.
If Kou Ji really wanted to bury someone, I'm afraid the guards in the mansion would have been waiting at the door long ago.
Seeing that Kou Ji was silent, Xiang Yan asked with a smile, "Why is that clad wood angry with you?"
Hearing this, Kou Ji became angry again, "That package of wood, took a package of pastries into the mansion, I thought it was resuscitation. Who knows that he said it was given by someone else.
I have to take it away before I leave, you say I am not angry? "
When Xiang Yan heard this, she couldn't laugh or cry, "It's really a piece of pure wood..."
Kou Ji sighed.
Xiang Yan groaned: "The concubine feels that if Xuer does not marry, he will not be anxious."
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiang Yan and said, "You mean to find Xu'er a husband-in-law to force Bao Zheng?"
Xiang Yan nodded.
Kou Ji hesitated: "What if it is self-defeating?"
Xiang Yan said indifferently, "Then it will be self-defeating? Xu'er is about to marry, he is not in a hurry, he deserves not to marry a wife forever."
Kou Ji thought about it and said: "That's good... With Xu'er's temperament, I'm afraid he won't bow to him. He likes Xu'er more. If he refuses to bow his head, the two of them may not be together in a lifetime.
Instead of letting Xuer wait for him, it's better to force him to take a look.
If he really couldn't afford it, let Xuer marry someone else. "
Xiang Yan nodded in agreement.
Kou Ji sighed and sighed: "Actually, I really hope that he and Xu'er will have good deeds. I just found out that he is going to make himself a lone minister.
The lonely minister did not end well.
If you marry Xu'er as his wife, Xu'er's identity can save his life at a critical time. "
Xiang Yan snorted coldly: "He himself refuses to bow his head. He always feels that his sesame and mung bean officials are very valuable. Then he deserves to be unable to find a wife."
Kou Ji said with emotion: "He is also a distinguished person, and a distinguished person always has some arrogance."
Xiang Yan curled her lips and said, "The outstanding person is amazing? There are more people than dogs in front of our house, and more people in front of the royal gate than ants.
He can be arrogant for whatever reason, others can't. "
When Kou Ji heard this from Xiang Yan, he couldn't laugh or cry.
Xiang Yan's words, there is no problem in her heart.
But in Kou Ji's heart, he didn't agree much.
There are countless people from the Great Song Dynasty. There are countless people willing to enter the royal portal and the Kou clan portal, but there are few who can be famous and famous.
However, those who seem to be famous are now under the Kou clan, and even those who are not celebrities are also under the Kou clan.
Under the Kou clan is equivalent to under the Zhao clan.
But no matter who he is under, Bao Zheng is a person who puts official business more important than private business.
After Bao Zheng left the bamboo courtyard and returned to the Criminal Ministry, he immediately drafted two memos and sent them to the Zhengshitang.
After Kou Ji came to court the next day, he saw Bao Zheng's two memorials.
After reading it a little, Kou Ji wrote a quasi-character just like what he said when he visited him, and ordered the eunuch who stayed in the Zhengshi Hall to pass the notes to the palace and sent him to the palace.
After the memorial was sent to the palace, Zhao Zhen saw that Kou Ji had been approved, and after a little review, he also wrote a correct word.
Successive officials in the Song Dynasty took homicide cases very seriously.
The same is true for Zhao Zhen.
Bao Zheng wanted to investigate the unjust, false and wrong cases in the old cases, and Zhao Zhen had no reason to disagree.
As long as they can show snow for one person, it is good for Zhao Zhen and Bao Zheng.
Zhao Zhen will gain the support of more people, and Bao Zheng will gain great fame and achievements.
Only the officials who handled the case at the time would suffer.
Therefore, the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the officials of Dali Temple looked ugly after seeing the documents signed by Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji that Bao Zheng took out to overturn the old case.
After they got off the job, they rushed to tell each other and spread the news that Bao Zheng wanted to thoroughly investigate the old case.
The impeachment of Bao Zheng was instantly filled with the tables of Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji.
People from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple rarely do unjust, false and wrong cases unless they are asked to do some unjust, false and wrong cases by an acquaintance, or their own negligence has caused unjust, false and wrong cases.
And the way the case was handled could not keep up, so unjust, false and wrong cases occurred.
Therefore, Bao Zheng thoroughly investigated the old case, and it was easy to find out some of the fly-ying dogs in it.
Although Kou Ji had previously checked the Ministry of Penalty and Dali Temple, after the people of the Ministry of Penalty and Dali Temple became soft, Kou Ji stopped, so the damage to the Ministry of Penalty and Dali Temple was not serious.
Coupled with Kou Ji's weight, they can't help Kou Ji, so they can only admit that they are unlucky.
Bao Zheng is now going to sort out all the old cases and sort out all the old cases. He is also the minister of the criminal ministry and has to stay in office for a long time.
The disaster he caused would be much bigger by Kou Ji.
The people of the Criminal Ministry and Dali Temple naturally cannot tolerate it.
They would not come forward to impeach Bao Zheng, because it is easy for Bao Zheng to grab the pigtails and look back.
So they all let their classmates, the same year, and even their colleagues who had done things help.
The memorials of impeaching Bao Zheng are piled together to form a hill.
Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji looked at the hill for a long time.
After a long time, Zhao Zhen turned his head and asked Kou Ji, "Four brother, who did you offend as a student? It's just an old case that would have caused so many people to be impeached?"
Kou Ji looked at the melodies and said dumbfounded: "I'm afraid it was caused by those old cases."
Zhao Zhen couldn't believe it, "then there is no reason to be impeached by so many people, right?"
