    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    The drum beats at three o'clock, the moon hangs in the sky, and the night is as cool as water.  Except for those fireworks and willow alleys that are still drunk and red, and the strings are constantly singing, the streets and alleys of the capital are already silent and deserted.  Occasionally, one or two dog barks, through the uneven roof, swayed far away in the night sky, making it even more quiet at this moment.

    In a small courtyard located in Carpenter¡¯s Alley, there stood a thin man in his fifties, not tall. He sighed softly and raised his head to look up at the sky.  Just like his mood at the moment he was in a dilemma and he was hesitant to decide.

    He is Hai Rui Hai Gangfeng, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Although he is already a senior official of the fourth rank, he still lives in the old alley, and he is even more lonely and reticent People only say that the letter made Hai Rui famous and rich  However, I don¡¯t know that the great harm caused to him by "Zhi An Shu" will never be healedPsychologically speaking, Jiajing is dead, but he is alive.  The heavy shackles of "Jun Wu father" made it difficult for him to breathe and show his face for a long time. If his mother hadn't been in the hall and had no heirs under his knees, he would have been buried with Jiajing with three feet of white silk and a handful of loess.

    Great changes have also taken place in his life. His mother is old, and after returning to her hometown in Qiongzhou, she became seriously ill. Although she has recovered, it is impossible for her to travel thousands of miles to Beijing for reunion.  And his wife, because of the fright at the beginning and the long journey, gave birth to a baby girl prematurely as soon as she arrived in Qiongzhou, and she passed away.

    The successive blows made Hai Rui very sad, and several times he asked to go home to take care of his mother and raise his young daughter. However, Xu Jie set him up as a positive model, and he was counting on him to promote the righteousness of the world, purify the air in the political arena, and restore Jiajing.  What about the morals of the scholars in the past, how could he let him go, so he repeatedly comforted him in the name of the emperor, calling him a "model of officials in the world" and so on, and promoted him to the rank of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, which was completed.  The leap from mid-level officials to senior officials.  This kind of honor and courtesy made Hai Rui unable to resign and had no choice but to continue working.

    However, this errand is not going well at all

    Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are collectively called the "Three Legal Departments", which constitute the judicial supervision system of the Ming Dynasty.  The Dali Temple is in charge of the "Decree on Trial and Rehabilitation of Prisons and Prisons", which is mainly to review the judgments of the Ministry of Penalties, to redress unjust prisons, and to correct unfair yamen.  However, if Daming's officialdom can really act according to reason, everything will be fine a long time ago, so what do you need Dali Temple for?

    In fact, after Chenghua, the power of law enforcement in Dali Temple has been usurped by the higher-level criminal department, and in fact it can only review the case files.  If you want to rule the prison justly, it depends on the mood of the Minister of Criminal Affairs. For example, not long after taking office, Hai Rui encountered a murder case involving the sons of officials.  However, Huang Guangsheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, upheld the original sentence on the grounds that 'the victim suffered a sudden illness after being injured, and his death was caused by illness rather than injury'.  Hai Rui was dissatisfied and made a complaint to the cabinet, but Xu Jie reprimanded him and dismissed him on the grounds that he was new to the judiciary and was not familiar with the laws.

    As a result, criminals who should have been sentenced to death were given a lighter sentence When Hai Rui reviewed the files, he found that such gourd judgments abounded.  They only tried to persuade him with good words, but they refused to accept him. In the end, his colleagues in the temple began to avoid him, and Hai Rui was completely marginalized.

    In fact, Hai Rui is not unaware that many of the harsh criminal laws enacted by the imperial court are used to suppress the poor and ordinary people, but there are always back doors for the rich and powerful.  As long as you have money and power, you can settle all troubles, even if you kill someone, you don't have to pay for it. This is an unspoken rule in the officialdom, and he alone can't change it no matter what.

    However, Hai Rui is a disciple of a sage, and Confucius once said: ¡®If you know what you can¡¯t do, do it!  ¡¯ It means that it is impossible not to ask when doing things, but it is not right to ask!  What should be done, even if it is impossible, must be done!  Therefore, although rehabilitating unjust prisons and upholding justice are thankless, and only one or two times out of ten times, he is still conscientious, hard-working, firmly upholding justice and providing protection for the weak, and never giving up because of setbacks.

    Hai Rui is a very pure person. Because of his purity, he is steadfast, and because of his steadfastness, he is indomitable and never lost!  But this time, when he received the imperial decree to appoint him as a juror in the "Hu Zongxian Case", Hai Rui fell into a kind of weighing and thinking that he had never had when he was on "Public Security" so shocking.  However, the higher authorities handed over the chief and deputy presiding judges to the two chiefs of Dali Temple. Although the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have to avoid suspicion, it makes sense not to intervene, but they can still send a scholar to preside over the trial, and then fight with Yang Siqing himself.  !  This is the logical choice.

    nowPeople saw a wonderful scene, only saw a high-ranking official striding down the street, followed by the bearer carrying the sedan chair wheezingly, and they couldn't help talking about it, and finally came to the conclusion that this high-ranking official  People are exercising

    Arriving in front of Dong'an Gate, Hai Rui had already left the bearers out of sight. He straightened his clothes, took out his official photo, and walked up to the soldiers guarding the gate.

    For Mr. Hai, who often went to the cabinet to file complaints, the soldiers actually admired him deeply. While performing routine duties, they exchanged greetings: "Master Hai, what case is there this time?"

    "Big case." Hai Rui put away the official photo, left two words behind, and was about to walk towards Chang'an Avenue, but he heard someone calling him from behind: "Brother Gangfeng, wait for me." Looking back, it was him  Yang Yushu, the court official and the presiding judge of this Qin case.

    Yang Yushu is a white and neat middle-aged man, five or six years younger than Hai Rui, with a neat short beard, regular facial features, and clear eyes. He is a rare good man and official If it weren't for Yang Yushu's protection, Hai Rui would be in Dali Temple.  He must be more cheating today than he is now, and he might not be able to turn over a case It's just that these days, it's hard to be a good person, and it's even harder to be a good official, and he has long since lost his edges and corners.  look.

    Although Hai Rui spoke coldly, it was his means of protecting himself. To a superior like Yang Yushu, he would naturally not put on airs and stand aside with a solemn face, waiting for Si Qing to come in.

    Yang Yushu came over quickly, and after the two greeted each other, he gave Hai Rui a hand and said, "Talk while walking." Obviously, he wanted to avoid the eyes and ears and whisper something.

    But if I really want to speak, I don't know where to start.  He didn't speak, and Hai Rui couldn't open his mouth either. Yang Yushu walked out for a while with his head muffled, "How did you sleep last night?" His voice was gentle and magnetic, quite pleasing to the ear.

    "I haven't slept all night." Hai Rui said softly.

    "I also tossed and turned, and I didn't close my eyes all night." Yang Yushu pointed to his eyes and said, "Look, there are still dark circles under my eyes."

    Hai Rui took a look, and there were indeed a pair of dark circles under his eyes, which were very obvious on his fair face.  Then he sighed softly and said, "With such a big case, the person being tried can't sleep, and of course the judge can't sleep either."

    "This case is very important, even far beyond your imagination" Yang Yushu thought that Hai Rui didn't know much about the affairs of the upper echelons, so he enlightened him: "Have you ever thought about why this case was brought to trial by you and me?"  ? The small body of Dali Temple can hold up such a big hat, so it¡¯s better not to be crushed.¡±

    "What do you mean, my lord?" Hai Rui asked in a deep voice.

    "I was wondering why the higher-ups only sent people from the Dali Temple to handle such a big case. There could only be one intention." Yang Yushu said softly, "Because we are quiet people, and we came out of the same temple.  It can be said that the status of the two interrogators is really superficial, and it is too ugly to say that they are puppets, but in short, it is difficult to go against the wishes of the superiors, otherwise we will be suspended"

    "What's wrong?" Hai Rui asked coldly¡ª¡ª

    This time it was really force majeure. After I finished writing after one o¡¯clock, I couldn¡¯t get on the Internet. I called iCable and only said that I had called for maintenance.  I couldn't sleep well at all. I woke up just now and saw that it was finally healedit will not affect today's two shifts.  (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
