After confirming the identities of both parties, the trial officially began. Magistrate Wang slapped the gavel again and shouted: "Fang Yingwu! Why did you kidnap the county government officer to see me!"
This time it was like arresting a current criminal and bringing him before the official. Without a writ of paper, Fang Yingwu dictated: "My parents are on my side, and I am here to see the official for the purpose of extorting money from Tan Gongdao and stimulating changes in my villagers."
When he was about to explain in detail, he heard Tan Gongdao next to him suddenly speak, shouting before him: "Master! The younger one admits his fault, the younger one admits his fault, and the younger one commits all the crimes! The younger one doesn't agree with the ghost and creates a fake card.
I wanted to go to Huaxi Village to cheat, but unexpectedly angered the villagers and kidnapped the young man to see the official. The young man’s crime is unpardonable, so he accepts the punishment and accepts the punishment without any hesitation. He sincerely repentes and will never embarrass the elder!”
Fang Yingwu was stunned. Tan Gongdao's attitude was low enough. He originally thought that he would quibble a little and deny a little. This is the way a villain should behave. He didn't expect this guy to admit his guilt so happily and repent so sincerely.
!
Inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of the curve of the corner of Tan Gongdao's mouth from the side, and immediately Fang Yingwu suddenly realized! After all, Tan Gongdao is also an old man in the county government. Here he readily admitted his mistake and showed sincere repentance.
It can be regarded as giving the county leader a step forward in front of the villagers of Shanghuaxi Village.
When handling, you can pick it up high, put it down gently, and hit a few large boards at most to see the effect. There is a saying that if you keep the green hills, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood.
As expected of a husband, the secrets here are very clear! This is the golden cicada’s plan to survive by shedding its shell and cutting off its tail!
However, can Fang Yingwu keep the green hills left by Tan Gongdao? Chun'an County is a small county, and there are actually not many official officials in the county government, and Tan Gongdao is one of them. If he leaves such a mortal enemy, he might jump at some time
Come out and cause trouble.
What's more, Fang Yingwu noticed a very subtle opportunity and made up his mind from the beginning to use Tan Gongdao as his starting point. He used Tan Gongdao's incident as an introduction to make friends with the county magistrate. How could he let Tan Gongdao rob him?
The limelight?
Magistrate Wang felt relaxed. No matter what the case was, as long as the defendant was willing to honestly plead guilty, it would be easy and easy to handle. He wished that all the cases he tried were like this. The 100% case closure rate during the assessment was a very impressive political achievement.
Wang Zhixian saw that Tan Gongdao was more upright this time and would not deny it in every way to cause trouble for him, so he took advantage of the situation and took out the lot and threw it down, shouting orders: "Tan Gongdao disturbs the people without authorization, pull him down and punish him twenty times! To set an example to others!"
"Old parents, wait!" Fang Yingwu shouted hurriedly when he saw that the matter was about to end like this and it was too late if he didn't speak out.
County Magistrate Wang stopped, but before throwing down the sign, he said with a bit of displeasure: "There is no need to make any noise in the courtroom! The facts of the case have been understood. Just stand aside and wait for the punishment. I will naturally explain it to you and other villagers!"
Fang Yingwu took out a piece of paper from his arms, bowed his head and raised it above his head, "To solve the case, you must have a confession and evidence. Only when both are present can the case be clear. The old parents have a mirror up high, and the people below respect them, but they can't bear to live.
There are flaws in this case. There is still physical evidence here, and the counterfeit tickets have not had time to be submitted. Wouldn't it be perfect if I ask my parents to review it according to the law?"
The yamen officer next to him took the ticket and handed it to the county magistrate. Wang Zhixian smiled slightly and said: "You are a thoughtful young man."
After that, he picked up the fake ticket for inspection and turned it over several times. "This fake ticket is exactly the same as the real one. It can be said that the fake ticket is fake, but the seal is definitely not my intention. Someone has stolen it."
Fang Yingwu took the opportunity to say: "Although falsehoods can be mistaken for truths, the common people only hold on to one principle. With the kindness and virtue of old parents, they will never press for last year's autumn grain arrears during this busy farming period, let alone before the summer taxes are collected!
Only the most confused and foolish officials would send people to the countryside to disturb the people at this time, and my parents are definitely not such people. As long as they understand this, they can easily spot the fake notes."
Wang Zhixian can't be said to be very shrewd, but he's not stupid either. In any case, he was a Jinshi in the 11th year of Chenghua. Naturally, he could tell there was something in Fang Yingwu's words - if he hadn't been seen through and let Tan Gongdao do it, it would be possible to pass it on to him.
Wang Xianzun is a fool, a fool who only pays attention to last year's tax arrears regardless of his immediate needs during the busy farming season.
If so, the seriousness of the situation needs to be re-evaluated...
Tan Gongdao secretly raised his eyes and saw the curvature of the corner of Fang Yingwu's mouth from the side. He immediately understood what Fang Yingwu meant. This was to transfer his crime from extorting good people to potentially affecting the image of the county magistrate!
I couldn't help but curse in my heart, the little thief is so ruthless, as expected of someone who has studied for seven years. This is a plan to kill with a borrowed knife, and it is also an over-interpretation**!
The scholar has a good plan, and the boss has the ladder to climb the wall. Tan Gongdao gritted his teeth, and immediately kowtowed his head on the stone slab with a "bang bang bang" sound. It was really hard. There was a big gash in his forehead, and blood flowed to it.
face.
"Master! It was an unintentional mistake, and I regret it! Fortunately, it didn't happen, and I confessed here! I really have nothing else to say, so please punish me!"
Wang Zhixian looked at Tan Gongdao's miserable appearance with blood all over his face, frowned and shook his head. Even though this man was at fault, his attitude of admitting guilt was enough, and it would be against the rules of a gentleman to not forgive him.
Moreover, what Tan Gongdao did may only affect his own image, but it did not actually happen. He can let it go once. Thinking of this, Wang Zhixian raised his hand and wanted to throw down the sign again.
Fang Yingwu's eyes were sharp and he saw through Tan Gongdao's conspiracy. This guy actually resorted to a cruel trick again, he was really cruel to himself!
Such a ruthless person will have endless troubles if he can't kill the snake. Fang Yingwu saw that the county magistrate seemed to have softened his heart again, and he quickly complained: "My parents are in the cave, and I still know the details of the case! Tan Gongdao's crime is absolutely
It’s not just about disturbing people with fake tickets!
When he was in the village, he claimed that the county magistrate wanted to repair the preparatory warehouse, the county school, and the official temple, so he came to collect last year's tax arrears. At that time, everyone in the village was frightened, and some people wanted to sell their children and land.
All my neighbors can testify.”
After listening to Fang Yingwu's accusation, Wang Zhixian's face turned six to seven points darker, while Tan Gongdao's face turned a few points pale.
"What a cunning thief! You bastard!" Wang Zhixian was angry and took action. If Wang Zhixian just tried and punished him as a routine matter, now he is really angry.
For Wang Zhixian, it is not uncommon for government servants like Tan Gongdao to make extra money privately, and it is not surprising, but if they do it under their own banner, the nature is different!
He really wants to repair the reserve warehouse, the county school, and the famous eunuch temple. This is a fact. If Tan Gongdao uses it as an excuse, how can others tell the difference between half-truth and half-falsehood? It must only be that the county magistrate is expropriating and expropriating land!
Tan Gongdao went to the village to extort money and ruined the reputation of the county government. He could tolerate it. The reputation of the government officials was not very good anyway. But if he wanted to ruin his own reputation, he could tolerate it and he couldn't tolerate it!
Public affairs are public affairs, and personal affairs are personal affairs. How can we not distinguish between public and private matters?
Fang Yingwu secretly glanced at Tan Gongdao and saw that his face looked pale under the blood stains. Now that he has revealed his trump card, what else can he do to escape?
And through Wang Zhixian's reaction, he finally found out the county magistrate's relatively good mood, and became more confident about the future.
How could a county magistrate with no reputation think about repairing abandoned warehouses, county schools, and famous eunuch temples all at once? How could he react so strongly after learning that his political achievements were discredited?
When Fang Yingwu was thinking about it, suddenly several officials rushed to the entrance of the lobby and knelt down. The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, shouting: "Sir, please calm down! I'll wait for you to find out the inside story."
Report!"
"Tan Gongdao is the only son in the family. He has his parents in the family hall and several children below. One stone of salary and food per month is far from enough. Recently, his father's 60th birthday is approaching. Tan Gongdao wants to fulfill his filial piety and organize a grand ceremony. He has already devoted himself to his son.
Duty.
Unfortunately, he had no spare money, so he took a desperate risk and made a big mistake in a moment of confusion! Please, for the sake of his filial piety, please don’t ruin his livelihood!"
Another person shouted with tears in his eyes: "The above sentences are true, and we are all willing to vouch for them!"
Fang Yingwu couldn't help but laugh, and even wanted to laugh out loud, as if he was watching a crappy movie with a third-rate script.
A villain who does evil, extorts, and forces people to sell their wheat fields, but he has the brilliance of human nature of honoring his parents. Is this the so-called analysis of human nature? This is the exploration of the bright spots of bad people? This is the helplessness and true feelings of bad people?
Don't be kidding, he hates these little novelties the most. Bad people are bad people and bad people deserve to die!
But Wang Zhixian was not like Fang Yingwu, who was tortured by various third-rate plots. He was stunned when faced with this situation. A group of officials interceded for Tan Gongdao. Should they consider appeasing the people in the yamen?
When he was thinking about how to punish him, he suddenly heard Fang Yingwu sighing deeply: "Tan Chaoyi is indeed very virtuous. Everyone in the county knows Tan Chai's filial piety, but they don't know how honest the county magistrate is. The person who created the figurines has no descendants!"
"
Wang Zhixian's heart tightened when he heard this, as if a certain string had been touched. He almost didn't think through it. The evil of Tan Gongdao's matter was not only that it ruined his reputation, but also that he dared to have these thoughts!
This shows that the county officials lack reverence for me! If I don’t kill him as a warning, there will be more of them in the future! But then my prestige will be ruined, and it will be even harder to deal with. Then I will definitely be laughed at!
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and immediately threw down the sign, "Breaking national laws for private matters is excusable and the original crime cannot be forgiven. How can you lose your integrity for petty righteousness! Tan Gongdao pretended to be a warrant from the county, ran rampant in the countryside, and defrauded good people.
If you extort money, you will not be forgiven for your crime. You will be kicked out of the county government with a staff of forty, and you will be made a postman!"
Both postmen and yamen servants are servants, but they are worlds apart. One is a pure hard labor, and the other is a county government law enforcer. Changing from a yamen servant to a postman is not much better than being conscripted into the army.
Mr. Tan Gongdao, his husband, saw that all the backup plans he had prepared were destroyed one by one by Fang Yingwu's understatement, and he was completely despairing. A day ago, he would never have imagined that he would end up like this, and it was all his fault this young man!
"You little thief, I'll kill you!" He put aside his pitiful look on the spot and jumped at Fang Yingwu to fight, but Fang Yingwu, who had been prepared for it, dodged him.
The officials on duty quickly held Tan Gongdao down and dragged him out for execution. From a distance in the courtroom, he could hear Tan Gongdao shouting repeatedly: "If you give birth to Yu, how can you be bright! If you have given birth to Yu, how can you be bright!"
Tan Gongdao is already in the past tense. He has stepped on him to see the magistrate, so he has completed his historical mission... Fang Yingwu watched Tan Chai disappear outside the door. Then he turned to Wang Magistrate and saluted: "My old parents make decisions for the people, and they can be called the loving fathers of Qingtian! Although they have only been in office for a few years, the people think that they will be the famous eunuchs of this county in the future!"
When Wang Zhixian heard the words "Minghuan Temple", his eyes suddenly lit up and he stroked his beard and said a few words of humility. "You've said too much! What I have done is not enough!"
Really? Fang Yingwu laughed secretly in his heart. If you don't want this, then why are you repairing the temple for famous officials? You are a pretentious person. You want it but you are embarrassed to say it.
