At this hour, Xiangling should have already left, right
In the official office of the Zuo Temple of Dali Temple, Sun Shaozong was holding several files in his hand, but he rarely walked away.
But it's no wonder that he couldn't keep his spirits up. Before the situation had changed, most of the files submitted to Dali Temple were leftovers and stinky rice that had been chewed by the Supreme Court. Evidence, confession, and the verdict as written.
This is naturally the best thing for those masters who have to live by, or who are not capable.
But every time Sun Shaozong saw these files, he felt panic in his heart.
The dignified Dali Temple, the general constitution of the world's rules and regulations, has to rely on the food to survive. It is really tolerable and unbearable...
"Dong Weng."
Qin Kejian's cold voice suddenly came from outside the door curtain: "It's time to ask the case."
"Here comes."
Sun Shaozong responded weakly, combed the several files spread out on the table together, grabbed the official hat and strode out.
He handed over all the cases transferred by the Duchayuan to the temple chief Yang Zhiming for trial last month, but after all, this is not a long-term solution, let alone the Duchayuan, there is still a 'main family' staring at him. .
I had no choice but to cheer up and pick a few cases for trial at random.
Because there is no public announcement, and there is no need for a public trial, what we will use today is not the main hall of the former ya, but the inner hall of the left temple.
Since it is the exclusive inner hall of Zuo Temple, it is not too far from the official office.
Zhao Nan led the way with official seals, dossiers and other items in front of him, and arrived at the entrance of the back hall after a while.
Sun Shaozong and Qin Kejian pushed open the door and entered, but Zhao Nan walked straight to the front, and solemnly arranged the official seal and files on the koan, and then bowed to Chen Jingde, who had been waiting in the hall.
Chen Jingde confirmed the evidence and confessions of several cases one by one, and then he waved his hands. Twelve yamen servants on both sides banged the fire and water sticks, and the arresting head Huang Bin put his hands on his hips and put his hands together. He shouted at the mouth: "Master has ascended to the hall~!"
This formalism is not seen by outsiders in the inner court trial.
Sun Shaozong pouted and muttered in the back hall—he was unhappy in his heart, and naturally he didn't like anything, even if he had been accustomed to these routines, he would inevitably have to complain.
After getting up and putting his hands behind his back, Qin Kejian hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door curtain. Sun Shaozongfa walked out of the back hall with official steps, and sat firmly under the plaque hanging high in the mirror.
Because Chen Jingde was in charge of recording the confession, Qin Kejian, who had no official status, stood diagonally behind Sun Shaozong.
Sun Shaozong removed the paperweight that was holding the case file, without looking at it, he gently moved the first one two inches to the left.
Qin Kejian glanced at the probe with understanding, and immediately shouted: "Your Excellency has an order, first try the Jiangxi Patrol Shi Rengui's bribery case!"
Chen Jingde immediately picked up the pen and wrote the relevant joy on the confession.
After he stopped writing to signal, Sun Shaozong grabbed the gavel and said solemnly, "Leading someone to commit the crime."
"Leading people to commit Shi Rengui!"
"Leading people to commit Shi Rengui!"
After a series of shouts, Shi Rengui, who was so skinny and skinny, was dragged to the hall by two yamen.
When Shi Rengui was crooked and knelt down in the middle of the lobby, Sun Shaozong asked according to the script: "Shi Rengui, do you know the crime?"
Seeing this Shi Rengui slowly raised his head, the two red eyes in the dark sockets, fixed for a while after the koan, and suddenly smiled miserably: "Why do you need to ask again? The lower official only wants to die now!"
Actually there is nothing to ask.
The amount of bribes taken by this guy was originally not large, but he killed people and committed a major taboo in the officialdom. Even if Sun Shaozong wanted to be generous, he would definitely not pass the review by the Ministry of Justice.
"Never mind."
And Sun Shaozong didn't want to write ink with him at all, so he nodded and said: "Since you are desperate for death, you are Chen Jingde, and you will be Chen Jingde. The physical evidence and oral confession will be confirmed by him, and then the painting will be recorded as a record."
Chen Jingde found the corresponding items, motioned Huang Bin to hold them, and spread them out one by one in front of Shi Rengui.
Shi Rengui looked at the physical evidence and confessions, and his thin face gradually showed some self-deprecation, and finally shook his head and sighed: "It is still forgivable to do evil, but it is impossible to live by doing it by yourself."
As he spoke, he picked up the pen without reluctance, and marked the confession as a mark, so in less than a quarter of an hour, it was time to close the case and pronounce the verdict.
This is also the reason why Sun Shaozong can't lift his spirits.
However, no matter how impatient, the necessary procedures still have to be completed.
"The offender Shi Rengui disregarded the grace of God..."
"In Jiangxi, he took office and accepted more than 2,760 bribes..."
"Disregarding the friendship of the same year, he coerced and demanded bribes from Zhu Guang, the magistrate of Fenyi County, causing Zhu Guang to commit suicide in the official sedan chair outside the yamen..."
A bribe of 2,700 taels is really nothing to a censor who holds a lot of power. The fault lies in Zhu Guang, who was the same year as he was complacent and humiliated him in public.
On the other hand, Zhu Guang was a master with excessive self-esteem. After going out, the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he committed suicide with a dagger in the sedan chair.
And on the charge of extorting bribes to kill him in the same year, Shi Rengui could only be buried with him.
Speaking of...
With his precedent, it is estimated that future patrols will pay attention to being gentle and making money.
…
Since they are all factual cases, there is really nothing to quibble about.
Therefore, it only took more than half an hour to complete the trial of several cases one by one - of which nearly half of the time was consumed in the routine links of going through the motions.
After leaving the hall, seeing that there was still some time before noon, Sun Shaozong pondered and went to Li Wenshan, You Shaoqing. about to be presented.
As the initiator, Sun Shaozong naturally had to take a look at it first.
But before he could leave, Zhang Cheng led a servant from Rongguo to look for him, saying that Jia Lian was hosting a banquet in the evening and invited Sun Shaozong to have a drink.
When he was in Wangjiang Tower two days ago, Jia Lian did say this, and also said that he would discuss the details of Rang Du Ping'er at the banquet.
But today is really unfortunate, Sun Shaozong has already made a decision that he will perform 'Slaying Ma Su with Tears' in the mansion, so it is naturally inconvenient to go to the Rongguo Mansion for a banquet.
So he asked the servant to speak, saying that he would visit tomorrow evening instead.
The servant got a reply, and he rushed back to the Rongguo Mansion without stopping.
He crossed the passage between the two doors and was about to go to the study room in Xiyun Pavilion. Second Master Xunlian replied, and suddenly someone shouted, "Stop for me!"
When the servant looked back, it was Wang Xifeng, the master and the servant.
Naturally, he didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hands.
Wang Xifeng asked at the very beginning, what was the reason for him coming and going in such a hurry.
Because he felt that there was nothing to hide about this matter, the servant ordered himself to invite Sun Shaozong, but it was postponed to tomorrow night, and he narrated it all over again.
After hearing this, Wang Xifeng flipped her sleeves unconcernedly: "Go on with your business, what else should I do?"
However, when the servant walked away like an amnesty, Wang Xifeng's face gradually became gloomy. She was silent for a long time, then she suddenly gnashed her teeth and said, "What a shameless thing, my aunt won't let you please!"
