"I want to know if there is anyone behind this matter." Chu Nan looked at Man Chong and said in a deep voice.
He has met Song Bin a few times. Fan Chou is not a talented person. His ability is not average. He is a little better than normal people. Otherwise, it would be impossible to fight with an ordinary person. He only thinks about having fun and drinking all day long. Such a person is a dandy.
He was a bit of a coward, and he definitely used his power to bully others, but he directly killed people. Not to mention here, when he was in Xuzhou, Chu Nan took care of it and even came to discuss the matter with Song Xian himself.
Knowingly committing the crime?
Song Bin was not so bold as to ignore what he said. Even though Chu Nan was talking to Wei Xu and others as uncles, no one dared to openly violate the orders given by Chu Nan, especially these juniors.
He was as afraid of Chu Nan as a tiger.
Chu Nan suspected that there was someone behind this instigation.
"Song Bin has committed several crimes before, but he was not sent to the Ministry of Punishment. When the defendant came to County Magistrate Xu, it was not a big deal. Magistrate Xu always comforted him with kind words. Not only did he not punish him, he also praised him for being a good general.
Words like that." Man Chong's answer seemed not to be an answer to Chu Nan, but to talk about other trivial matters.
Chu Nan understood that small mistakes were not punished, and even rewards and praises were used in this secret way. Not to mention a young man whose three views have not yet been fully formed, even an adult, in this kind of environment, the bottom line of sin will be violated again and again.
Breakthrough, ultimately irreversible!
We are all smart people, and some things don’t need to be made too clear. This is indeed calculated, but you can’t blame others. After all, others are obviously taking care of your feelings.
"Has the verdict been passed?" Chu Nan nodded silently and then asked.
"The evidence is solid." Man Chong nodded. There was no suspense in the case itself. Even if there was, it was behind the scenes. As far as the case itself is concerned, Song Bin bullied men and dominated women, and even caused death. He could not escape the death penalty.
"Three days later, I will invite my father-in-law to the palace to seek forgiveness from Your Majesty." Chu Nan looked at Man Chong.
"Then the official will kill Song Bin beforehand!" Man Chong said calmly. This is a matter of principle. Since he has revised the law, no one can give in on issues that touch the bottom line of the law, even if Lu Bu wants to do it next moment.
To kill him, he would also kill Song Bin first.
Chu Nan nodded, said no more, stood up and said, "It seems that local criminal laws also need to be improved."
"The world is currently undecided, and there are only three states. If you are too harsh, no one will be able to use it." Man Chong understood what Chu Nan meant and said in a deep voice.
"At least you have to have this idea, legislate it first, and then gradually improve it later." Chu Nan shook his head and said, he knew that this matter cannot be rushed, but the concept must be there first.
"Here." Man Chong stood up and responded, then sent Chu Nan out of the office.
When Chu Nan returned to Lu Mansion, Song Xian and others were still there. Chu Nan briefly explained the matter: "This matter has nothing to do with the Ministry of Punishment. It is someone plotting behind it. Magistrate Xu has indulged in small evils several times.
In the end, Brother Song made a big mistake, and this matter is indeed difficult to handle."
"Then we can't watch our good nephew die," Wei Xu said with a frown.
"Of course not." Chu Nan nodded: "But uncle, since the reform, our army has been fighting for the people, and this is what our army has always done. We put the people first and the people first in everything we do.
The county magistrate did this because he wanted to break the rules set by our army. Behind this, I don’t know how many people are watching us. Any mistake will definitely affect the reputation of our army, the reputation of my father-in-law and all the generals, so we must not be reckless."
"Zi Yan, you have met my Bin'er before. Although he has no abilities, his nature is not bad. I only have this son. Zi Yan, you must save him!" Song Xian took Chu Nan's hand and said,
Looking at Chu Nandao.
"General, please be patient. There is nothing we can do about this matter." Chu Nan looked at Song Xian and said, "In this way, you can bring some money to that family later. Remember, you must have a good attitude. You must get his family's understanding and the victim will not be held accountable.
, we can discuss this matter and be given a lighter sentence.”
"Besides, there are people behind this matter who are adding fuel to the flames. As long as the ministers in the court are willing to come forward to ask the emperor to save Brother Song's life, it is feasible. The father-in-law should come forward in this matter himself."
Lu Bu nodded and said, "That's fine, I'll go there myself."
"Okay, okay! Zi Yan still has a way." Song Xian nodded repeatedly, bowed to Chu Nan, and left in a hurry.
"Everyone, go too." Chu Nan looked at the generals and said, "Please also control your children, relatives and friends at home and never let anything like this happen again."
Everyone looked unhappy and stood up and left silently.
"Father-in-law." After everyone left, Chu Nan called to Lu Bu who was about to leave. After pondering for a moment, he said, "My son-in-law has just discussed it with Man Shangshu. I will kill him in three days!"
"Why?" Lu Bu suddenly turned around and looked at Chu Nan with a frown: "Song Xian has been with me for many years, through life and death, and has never abandoned us no matter whether we were down or not. Now that we have conquered the Central Plains and have the power over the world, how can we have to suffer the loss of our son?"
The pain!?"
Lu Bu spoke in a serious tone. This was the first time he spoke to Chu Nan in such a serious tone since Chu Nan became his son-in-law.
"About the law, my son-in-law once told his father-in-law." Chu Nan sat down again and sighed: "Should we break the law we made? Putting this aside, my father-in-law knows that our army can be where it is today.
All along, I have fed the people with the blood of the ministers and won the support of the people."
"Nowadays, the hearts of the people in the Central Plains are not attached. Except for this matter, my son-in-law can clearly tell his father-in-law that as long as the verdict in this matter is even slightly unfair, someone will publicize it and tell the people how sanctimonious we are. The so-called new law is just
Such a fig leaf makes my father-in-law very disappointed." Chu Nan looked at Lu Bu and sighed: "Also, my father-in-law is angry at this time and is on the side of General Song, but what if he is the father of the dead man? A woman has lost her husband,
A father loses his son, a child loses his father, and the backbone of a family is broken like this!"
Chu Nan took a deep breath: "Today is a troubled world. Families are broken up, wives and children are separated, and white-haired people give away black-haired people. Things like this happen every day. However, this kind of thing cannot happen under the eyes of the father-in-law.
, let alone the family members of the military generals. If this incident continues, it will also have a deterrent effect on the families of the generals."
"My son-in-law has mentioned this matter to them several times, but no one took it to heart. This incident about Song Bin can also shock the families of these generals!" Chu Nan looked at Lu Bu seriously and said: "Father-in-law,
Today is different from the past. My father-in-law is now in charge of the court and is a place of great hope. It is both an honor and a shackle. I can no longer do whatever I want. If I don’t have mercy, I can’t control the army!"
Lu Bu could still understand these truths, but at this moment he was a little irritable: "Dan Ziyan, Song Xian has been with me for many years and has worked hard and achieved great results. How do you want me to explain to him?"
"This matter will be settled by my son-in-law. My father-in-law will go from house to house to visit famous people in the court as he said before." Chu Nan sighed.
"Does this still make sense?" Lu Bu frowned.
"Father-in-law, it is these people who are behind this matter. Song Bin will not escape the death penalty, but these people will not get better. What my father-in-law is doing now, as long as they don't allow it, will block their way out!" Chu Nan said coldly!
road.
Since these people have taken action, don't blame yourself for retaliating. He doesn't believe that these children of famous families have clean butts.
"How do you say that?" Lu Bu asked in surprise.
"My son-in-law will ask people to investigate one by one. As long as a member of the clan has ever bullied a man or dominated a woman, he will immediately collect evidence, find the perpetrator, and bring it to trial. This can not only comfort General Song, but also shock all officials.
Don't dare to do anything wrong." Chu Nan bowed.
This shocked not only the nobles, but also the children of the soldiers on their side. Even veteran generals like Song Xian who had followed Lu Bu for many years couldn't get any favor from him, let alone others.
This will create a scene of mutual supervision between the upper levels, but the Criminal Department is quite busy during this time.
"Okay, then I'll take a trip!" Lu Bu's chest was full of anger at this moment. This group of people had nothing to do all day long and just wanted to plot against him. They are really hateful.
"One more thing." Chu Nan looked at Lu Bu and said, "Father-in-law, please don't sleep for these three days. It's best to have sex more often."
"Huh?" Lu Bu looked at his son-in-law with an unkind look. How dare he interfere in his father-in-law's private affairs?
"I'll try to look more tired. It will be easier for General Song to give me an explanation in three days." Chu Nan said helplessly.
With Lu Bu's physique, he wouldn't feel tired if he didn't sleep for three days and three nights. He had to do something.
"Don't be so disrespectful when speaking next time!" Lu Bu glared at Chu Nan, got up and went back to prepare to go out. He first went to Sangong, and then Jiuqing, and talked all the way.
Anyway, even if these people refuse, they don’t dare to embarrass themselves!
After Chu Nan left, he didn't go home or go to the government office. He went straight to the Anbu. Although the Anbu was established, it was a private organization and was nominally Chu Nan's escort.
"Lord!" When Huang Xu saw Chu Nan, he quickly stood up and bowed.
"Let the ANBU people in the city go check something out." Chu Nan sat down and looked at Huang Xu and said.
"Please give me your orders, my lord." Huang Xu bowed and said.
"The Three Lords and Nine Ministers, plus the Xuchang County Magistrate, have three days to find out whether their people have oppressed good people and killed people. I want to find out as much as possible. I want conclusive evidence." Chu Nan took out his waist card and said: "
You can read the files at the Ministry of Punishment at any time."
"Here!" Huang Xu took the belt card handed over by Chu Nan with both hands, raised his head and said, "Master, do you want to kill someone?"
"No need, and it will be investigated secretly. The less people know about it, the better." Chu Nan shook his head. This matter was done according to the rules, so Chu Nan must also use the rules to fight back. Today's rules are set by himself.
Don't break the rules.
"I humbly accept my order!" Huang Xu nodded and said.
The ANBU monitors officials all over the world. This kind of thing is what they should be good at. This incident is just for them to practice their skills.
After explaining this, Chu Nan stood up, stopped Huang Xu from seeing him off, and left directly with Zhou Cang.
"Lord, why do you want to help him with this matter?" Zhou Cang didn't know what everyone had discussed in the Lu Mansion before, but he knew what Song Bin had done.
"I'm not helping him. Anyway, you will know in three days." Chu Nan shook his head. Although Zhou Cang is not a big talker like Wei Yue, it is better not to talk to him about the matter first.
Zhou Cang didn't ask any more questions. He knew that his lord had his own plans for doing things. It was not good for him to ask too many questions. But as a person from a reckless background, when he saw such dirty things, his lord still tried his best to help.
