——

Until she left the courtyard of the third Ming's house, Xun Zhen was still vaguely afraid.

It has been more than ten years since he traveled, and he has met many people. During the Han Dynasty, the distinction between civil and military was not obvious. The so-called "going out and entering the prime minister" meant that many scholars were both civil and military. For example, Xun Qu was good at fencing, and his tribe, Xun Cheng, who liked to collect tiles, was also very skilled. He is good at riding and archery; in addition, Xu Zhong, Jiang Qin, Gao brothers, and Su brothers who I met in Fanyang Pavilion are also warriors, but none of them can compare to Third Lan. It can be said that the third Lan is the first warrior he has seen and heard so far.

He thought, "It's a pity, such a warrior is my enemy." After thinking about it, he decided, "When this matter is over, I should ask the village officials carefully, and ask if there are other famous warriors in the village. I don’t want to be better than the third Lan, as long as I can be comparable!”

Qin Gan waited in the room for a long time, still maintaining the standing position just now, a look of neither arrogance nor impatience. You Yu Zuoqiu had already arrested all the other members of the third clan involved in the case. There were about 20 people in total, all of them squatting against the wall. A dozen county soldiers and Qingxia stood in front of them for surveillance.

Xun Zhen stepped forward quickly and presented him the "found" bamboo slips first, and said, "This thing was found in the third room." Qin Gan took it, lowered his head and glanced at it, noncommittal. Xun Zhen then reported: "Third Ming and his family have been captured by the subordinates."

Qin Gan put the bamboo slip in his arms, followed his fingers, saw the third Ming who was brought out of the hospital, frowned slightly, and asked, "There are only three people? This is the third Ming? This is him. The father? Is that woman his wife? ..., doesn't it mean that the third Ming has a brother of the same birth?"

"His younger brother, the third Lan, resisted arrest just now and was killed on the spot."

"What about the guests under his door? Why don't you bring them out?"

Xun Zhen replied calmly: "The guests in his family are all fierce and light to death, and they are unwilling to capture them.

Qin Gan glanced at him with a face full of disbelief. If there were one or two who resisted arrest, he would believe it, but if all of them resisted arrest, who would believe it? But he didn't say anything. He looked at the limping Jiang Qin, Gao Jia, Wen Pin, and Xu Zhong, and nodded.

The laws of the two Han Dynasties inherited from the past and the future, inherited from the former Qin Dynasty, and will be used by future generations. From a legal point of view, although there is a strict side, such as "being punished by words", it also has a human side, such as prohibiting officials from entering at night. In the case of arresting people in private residences, killing and wounding is not encouraged when arresting suspects, and the principle of not harming the arrested person is the principle.

Xun Zhen was in the courtyard just now, indiscriminately killing the guests and servants of the third Ming family. Strictly speaking, this violated the law, but because of his background in the Xun family, Qin Qian Although he didn't believe what he said, he didn't want to care about it. ——Unreasonable killing is a violation of the law, but if it is like Xun Zhen said: "The suspect is arrested", it can be killed without being guilty, but it is only "half-buying a reward". "Purchase" is a bounty, that is, only half of the reward that should be given to the hunter is paid.

Seeing that all the suspects were taken down and brought, Qin Gan followed the list and named them one by one to ensure that they were correct, and he didn't say much. He only said to the chief and elders who came to hear the news: "These are all criminals. , I'm going to take them to the county for interrogation. In addition, the third clan is also suspected of bewitching the public. Before the trial, you must keep their other clansmen and guests under guard, and none of them are allowed to leave the door!"

The third clan is a big clan. This time Qin Gan arrested all men, and only a few of them. There are still many people who have not been arrested. If the crime of "demon talk" is real, it will at least implicate their entire clan, so Qin Gan explained that the chief is optimistic about the other clansmen of the third clan.

Inside, his face was as pale as earth, and his sweat was like pulp, and he only nodded his head.

Xun Zhen said: "Qin Gong, the third clan has always been light and tough, although most of the men in their clan were arrested this time, there are still many people left, in a hurry, I am afraid that they will jump over the wall and take risks. It is possible. There are no soldiers here, and there are few strong men. With only the chief and the elders, I am afraid that they will not be able to look down on them. . . . Why not leave a few county soldiers?"

Qin Gannian pondered, and after a while, he said, "There are not many soldiers in the county now, so many people have been brought back this time, and they need to be guarded. However, you are right. Well,... . "He said to there, "I will leave you five people to help you take care of the third clan." Then he said to Xun Zhen, "I see that your followers are all like warriors, and you also leave a few people. stop."

Xun Zhen replied, "No." He originally wanted to leave a few people behind. He didn't personally send someone to watch over all the clansmen and guests of the Third Clan. He couldn't rest assured no matter what, and ordered Jiang Qin and Gao Jia immediately. , Gao Bing, brought two or three Qingxia to stay in the center, and his room and board were arranged by the local director.

Qin Gan led the way, and the two soldiers followed him, both holding spears and walking with their chests high. At the back is Left Ball, leading several county soldiers to **** the arrested tribesmen of the Third Clan. Next was Xun Zhen, who was behind with Xu Zhong, Su Ze, and Su Zheng.

Even the suspects and soldiers, a group of fifty or sixty people, walked through the alley in the face of the bleak cold wind. All the houses on both sides of the alley were all trembling, crouching inside the door, respectfully sending them away, not daring to raise their heads. Hearing the sound of their footsteps walking away, only those who were daring dared to walk to the door on their knees, and looked out cautiously. In the crowd, a particularly conspicuous figure fell into his eyes, with a scarf on his head, a printed ribbon on his waist, and a knife on his side. , keep your head high, it's not Xun Zhen! You Limin sighed without feeling, and said, "I saw Xunjun at the jig in the past, but at that time I only thought that he was arrogant and elegant, and I couldn't believe that when he was the pavilion chief, he heard the drums and attacked the thieves in the middle of the night! Watching it today! , I believe it!"

This person who speaks probably has read books and speaks in a succinct manner.

...

Xun Zhen sent Qin Gan to the village and said goodbye. After watching him and Zuo Qiu **** the suspect of the Third Clan away, he turned his head and said to Wen Pin on the left side of the attendant: "Zhongye, I have something to ask for. "

Wen Pin was stunned and said, "You have a great kindness to me, and I treat you like a teacher. If the teacher has something to do, the disciple will take care of it. Xun Jun, what's the matter? You just say it. Whether I can do it or do it If not, we will do our best.”

"You also go back to the county with Duke Qin. After you go back, say a word to your father for me."

Wenpin's father was naturally Wenzhi, who served in the county and was a fellow villager and cronie of the county magistrate Zhu Chang. Wen Pin asked, "What?"

"'Shude Moruzi'."

"'Shu De Mo Ruzi'?" Wen Pin immediately understood, and replied, "Yes!" Bending down, bowing, saluting, beckoning the guests to bring their own mounts, get on their horses, and lead people away.

Xu Zhong, Su Ze, and Su Zheng either did not read, or they were only literate. They did not understand the meaning of the five words Xun Zhen said, but Wenpin did. "The virtue of the tree is not as good as it is, and the disease of the cloud is not as good as the end." The point that Xun Zhen said was obviously the second half of the sentence.

Xun Zhen stood in the township with her hands behind her back, watching Wenpin urge the horses to rush, and chased Qin Gan and others. A gust of north wind blew, rolling the wheat seedlings in the fields by the roadside, like undulating waves, looking at the greenery in the distance. In the distance, some trees, sparse and sparse, have lost their leaves early, only the dry branches are swaying in the wind. The rustling wind filled the fields, scrambling into the ears.

Seeing that he was fascinated, Xu Zhong asked, "Jun Xun, what are you looking at?"

"Look at this green field, the trees in the distance are withered, one withered and one withered, but they are in harmony with each other, which is amazing. The creation of the heavens and the earth is actually such a thing!"

Xu Zhong, Su Ze, and Su Zheng were inexplicable and looked at each other. They thought that Xun Zhen was either reminiscing about the thrill of capturing the third clan today, or that he was relaxing because the thing was done, but they didn't expect him to say it. After such a paragraph.

Su Ze asked, "What are you talking about, Xun Jun?"

Xun Zhen said in his heart, "What I'm talking about is that winter has passed, spring has come, today I won the third clan, the dead branches in the village have gone, and the rest, only waiting for the wheat seedlings to grow, is the harvest day. ." He smiled slightly and said, "I'm saying, I successfully won the third clan today, and I feel that the pressure on my body is light. Dasujun and Xiaosujun, don't rush back to Fanyang, tonight, I invite you to a drink!"

The crowd laughed loudly, clapping their promises, surrounded Xun Zhen, and turned back to the village.

...

Xun Zhen successfully won the third clan, although the crime of "demon talk" has not yet been implemented, but with Wen Zhi's activities in it, and Qin Gan's promise not to promise before: "If these charges are true, the three belong to the clan. It's not wrong." It won't take long before this crime can be confirmed. As for whether the county magistrate Zhu Chang will approve it? Judging from his appreciation for Xun Zhen, the background of Xun Zhen and the Xun family, and the fact that the newly arrived county governor is an in-law of the Xun family, it is expected that he will never make any extra efforts.

Sure enough, three days later, after being personally interrogated by Zhu Chang, there was the witness of Hu/ping, the "physical evidence" of "having two sons, and the heaven will commander for two days", and another third Ming, who was unable to be tortured and wanted to die early. The confession of the "crime" has all kinds of evidence, and it can be considered that the crime has been completely confirmed and the "iron case" has been completed.

The county did not have the power to kill, so Zhu Chang immediately wrote to the county and asked the county to review and approve. The county governor, Yinxiu, was the in-law of the Xun clan. After hearing that the case was reported by Xun Zhen, the official in charge of the review made a promise without any reason to stop him. A huge third clan, plus the implicated guests, relatives, friends, more than 300 lives, ended here.

When Qin Gan brought people back to Xixiang again, and went to Zhuyangli to capture the remaining members of the Third Clan, the whole village was shocked, and there were thousands of people watching. The third clan is usually domineering in the township, and the people are very angry. The people of Qianshou have long been full of complaints. At this time, they don't care whether they have committed the crime of "demon talk". When they were taken away in a dejected manner, they all burst into cheers. The sound shook the roof tiles, and the sound stopped the clouds.

Some even knelt down and kowtowed, shouting: "My parents are gods." "Parents", they called Xun Zhen naturally; "Gods" praised him for his wisdom.

Qin Gan sighed softly, and didn't know what to think. When he arrived at the town boundary and Xun Zhen, who had sent him off, was about to return to the village, he grabbed Xun Zhen, walked to one side, and said, "This time the third clan is here. If they suffer, they will be exterminated by the clan, and they can be regarded as their own faults, but Xun Jun, these things cannot be separated. Luo weaving charges. To be a follower, never be a cruel official!

"Jun Botong, in the present and ancient times, should know that all those who are cruel officials, even if they have a short period of time, will not end well in the end. The goshawks and Tu Bo of the former Han Dynasty all obeyed the law and obeyed the law. Zhang Tang committed suicide in prison, Wang Shuwen and his family were destroyed. People like Wang Ji, depending on the situation for five years, killed more than 10,000 people; Yangqiu, Guanghe two years, moved to the Sili school captain, made the capital shocking, and all of them were inevitably guilty and died. "Poem" says: 'Yin Jian is not far away, in the post-Xia world'. You can't help but learn from it!"

Xun Zhen knew that he must have seen through his own tricks to frame the Third Clan, and he respectfully bowed his hand and agreed.

...

Qin Gan was a Confucian scholar, and although he was a thief under his family, he did not specialize in legal affairs, so he did not think highly of the "cool officials" from the former Han Dynasty to the present. Xun Zhen actually did not agree with this. Although the "torture officials" of the Han Dynasty were strict, they often killed hundreds of thousands of people. For example, when Wang Shuwen was the prefect of Hanoi, he arrested the tyrants in the county and sat in more than a thousand families. They were tortured and bloodshed for more than ten miles, but with the exception of a few, most of the "torture officials" did this for internal reasons. In other words, it was the objective circumstances that forced them to do it.

Yu Lie of the Han Dynasty and the Warring States period was in the early stage of the feudal society. There were many noble and cunning people. There were many powerful clans and rangers in the local area. On the one hand, it was very unfavorable for the centralization of the court and local administration. Just like the Third Clan, they all bully the common people to a greater or lesser extent, and the situation of fish and meat counties and counties, in the face of such an objective environment, it is impossible not to kill.

In fact, most of the "cruel officials" are rare and good officials. Take the few people Qin Gan said as an example: Cang Yingzhi is fair and honest, dares to remonstrate directly, confronts ministers in court, is not afraid of rape, and has a good reputation. The talent of the general, when he served as the prefect of Yanmen, made the Xiongnu escape from the wind, and he did not dare to violate the border when he was in office. The generals who conquer, the minions of the country". He said a famous saying: being an official should be "serving one's duties to the end of the official's life, always disregarding his wife."

Another example is the sun ball. Yang Qiu is a native of Yuyang, with a big family surname Guan Gai, both civil and military, good at fencing, riding and archery, and was executed not long after he offended an eunuch. Speaking of which, he did one thing when he was young, which is very similar to Xu Zhong, that is, he also avenged his mother and killed someone. However, he did not kill the butcher, but the county official. The county official insulted his mother, so he "became dozens of teenagers and killed the official", and after killing the county official, he "destroyed his family", "because it is famous".

Later, he was honored as a filial and honest man, serving as an official. , worship Shangshu Ling, and moved to Sili school captain. When Shang Shuling took office, he once petitioned the emperor to dismiss Hongdu Literature, and when he took office as Sili Xiaowei, he mercilessly executed Quan Huan and his descendants, and became enemies with the eunuchs, and was later falsely accused for it. sin, was executed. His wife and son were also implicated and moved to the frontier.

In Xun Zhen's eyes, these cruel officials were far superior to those officials who served vegetarian meals. However, he would definitely not say these words to Qin Qian.

...

Xun Zhen had been in the township for less than a month. At the beginning, he followed Cao’s regulations and basically followed the way of his predecessor, who had the rank and Xie Wu to govern, without making any major changes. , The people have no kindness. In addition to being revered by the people of Fanyang Pavilion, they are inevitably despised by the villagers in other pavilions and li, especially when Lejin was robbed by the third Lan, and he did not fight back at that time. Afterwards, the villagers, tycoons, and local officials who knew about him looked down upon him very much, thinking he was a weak scholar. However, he didn't expect that he forbeared for many days without moving, and he was a blockbuster. Soon after, on the charge of "demon talk", he uprooted the third clan who had been domineering in the township for a hundred years in one fell swoop!

This incident quickly spread throughout the country.

...

The village pavilion is in Yangyinli, the home of the three elders of the township, Xuanbo.

Seven or eight men in high crowns and Confucian clothing knelt in front of Xuan Bo. These men are either dressed in black or blue, the young ones have just been crowned, the older ones in their 40s, some with long beards, some with short beards, different appearances, different heights, only one thing is the same, namely All looked respectful. ——They are all disciples of Xuanbo.

The eldest man was speaking, and he was talking about Xun Zhen's execution of the entire third clan: "Sir, Xun Jun has executed the entire third clan with the crime of demon talk. From the point of view of the disciple, it is too much to act. Too harsh."

"Oh?"

"The third clan has been tyrannical to the village, and the people have suffered for a long time, but the crime does not destroy the clan. Besides, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this so-called 'demon talk' crime must be fabricated! Although the third clan is tyrannical, it is not stupid. How could you commit this crime of genocide?"

"Yes, this crime must be fabricated. The disciple is also a local native, born and raised in this country, and usually hears the evil deeds of the third clan, murdering and robbing Dao, all of which are heard, but the crime of 'demon talk', but it is It’s unheard of, it must have been fabricated by Xun Jun to destroy his clan.” It was the youngest young man who spoke, looking very angry, his face blushed, and if the teacher Xuan Bo was in front, he might not be able to control himself. , will clap the case and yell. "

Xuanbo asked, "Why are you so angry?"

"Sir, you have taught your disciples that the 'law' should be 'no guilt, no closeness, no distinction between the noble and the lowly, and a break with the law', and it should be fair and strict. Sin. As a township with rank and control of thousands of households, how could Xunjun ignore the law and use the instruments of the state to exterminate personal feuds on fabricated charges?" This angry young man obviously knew that Le Jin had The thing about being robbed by the third Lan.

The older man who spoke first agreed, saying: "Guanzi says: 'The law is the formula of the world, and the instrument of all things', and it also says that 'doing it by the rule of law is like the selflessness of heaven and earth'. Han Feizi said: 'The way of the people is not like the law'. The 'law' is the formula and instrument of the people in the world, and it is a public tool. It should be done with justice, and it should not be messed up because of personal interests! The fact is that the third clan was executed because of the accusations, and the victims, friends, relatives, and guests, and four or five hundred victims. It is outrageous, and the thief of the disabled people. There are such people to govern the hometown. , the patient will be worse than the third clan! ..., sir, please write to the county court and ask the county lord to remove him!"

Xuan Bo asked several other disciples, "What do you think?"

One of them said, "The disciple thinks that although Xun Jun's actions are not just and fair, it is not a matter of personal violation of the law, and the 'thief of the remnant people', 'the trouble will be worse than the third clan' and so on. As for." This speaker is fashion, that is, the inner prison gate in Yangyin. The last time Xun Zhen came to visit Xuanbo, he met Xun Zhen.

"Oh? How do you say that?"

"Last time Xunjun came to visit Mr., my disciple was fortunate enough to accompany him, had a conversation with him, watched his behavior, heard his words, not a cruel person who likes to kill~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and does not seem to be a cause for concern The villain who commits private crimes against the public, and who will retaliate against his grievances."

The eldest man asked, "Then why did he violate the law and execute the entire third clan on the accusation of fabrication?"

"..., I heard that when Xun Jun was in the post of Fanyang, he had arrested people and nobles for being too small, and was imprisoned in the prison. He was not released until he left office. In my opinion, he was executed. The whole third clan should be exactly the same."

"Is it the same?"

"It's nothing more than the word standing up for this."

"Today he can punish the third clan for their prestige, and tomorrow he can also punish us for their prestige!"

The fashion shook his head: "When Xunjun ruled Fanyang, except for one Wugui who was imprisoned, no other person was convicted. Not only did no second person get convicted, but he helped the orphans, persuaded farmers to cultivate mulberry, and even went to his own house to pay. I bought mulberry saplings for the people of Limin. Everywhere in the pavilion, they were all grateful to Dade and praised him, thinking they were 'parents'. How could such a person be a good person to kill? In my opinion, he is killing the third clan After that, he will be the next to Enlide and Ian people."

Several other disciples also joined the debate one after another, some supporting the older man, and some agreeing with the words of fashion. After arguing for a long time, no one could convince anyone, and there was no result. Now, according to the usual practice, they all left the table and bowed down, asking for advice and publicity, and asking him to judge whether it was right or wrong.

When they were arguing, Xuan Bo didn't say much, just closed his eyes and rested his mind. At this time, he slowly opened his eyes, put his hand on the table, raised his eyes and looked out of the hall, and after a while he said leisurely: "The third clan was there in the past. When I was in the village, the villagers were afraid of them like tigers, and I was also afraid of them. Unexpectedly, the century-old foundation of their clan was uprooted by Xun Jun. ... I asked you, if you change you, you may be like Xun Jun. , within a month of taking office, will you uproot the entire third clan in one fell swoop?"

The disciples did not expect that he would not speak the law, and when they asked this question, they all did not understand the meaning, and no one spoke for a while.
