Chapter 6 Slipping the Cocoon(2/2)
“Peng Cheng put down his wine bowl and asked, “How do you think the verdict will be overturned?”
Zhang Yue said: "When silk merchants enter the city, they must pick up goods for inspection at the city gate. In the past, there was a precedent in the county for hiding distiller's yeast in inferior silk, so the search must be extremely strict. There is no doubt that the silk is real silk. And shopkeeper Wu has already
If you want to frame someone up, the silk will have to go somewhere else."
"As far as I know, the yamen case has been decided and the money has been paid, but shopkeeper Wu still stays at Huanghua Temple and refuses to leave. Most likely, he is waiting for the silk to be sold. As long as we follow this line to investigate, the silk
After being found, coupled with Qiao San's confession, there is irrefutable proof that the stolen goods were stolen. This way, Zhao Yasi's face is not harmed."
At this point, Peng Cheng and Peng Jingyi both looked at Zhang Yue with admiration.
Zhang Yueyan said: "My Zhang family is willing to use half of these two hundred dollars to honor the young master. I only ask the young master to seek justice for our Zhang family."
Peng Cheng sneered and said: "Reversal of the case does not look good on the Yamen's face. Why should I help you for a few dollars?"
Zhang Yue said: "Reporting to the young master, I have read the files on this case. The fifteenth day of the last month to the fifteenth day of the next month is the month of Wu. The county suspends lawsuits for the sake of farming. Any lawsuits among the people are judged by the subordinates. Waiting for the month of Wu.
Once it is over, I will submit it to your Majesty."
"According to the law, the case can only be reported to the state after Wu month. If the young master vindicates the unjust case for Lingjun, not only will Yu Lingjun's reputation be intact, but he will be able to clear his name and be able to intervene in future lawsuits.
Tell the truth. Not only your Majesty, but also the Young Master can intervene in future lawsuits in the Yamen."
Most of the lawsuits in the yamen are controlled by subordinate officials such as the supervisor and the secretary. When Chen Xiang was the magistrate of Pucheng, in order to break this situation, every time a lawsuit was heard, several officials would stand in front of him. Those who visited privately were not allowed to speak, as they were old traitors.
"Tie one's hands". This is the same as the purpose of establishing a county school, which is to take over power from subordinate officials.
\
Thieves are to catch thieves, lawsuits are civil lawsuits, and town generals are the establishments assigned to local areas by military envoys during the Five Dynasties, which can handle military and political security matters. In the Song Dynasty, this power was taken back and the county lieutenants were responsible for managing public security. However, Peng County lieutenants were in power
Pucheng was only responsible for arresting thieves and maintaining local security, but the matters of civil litigation were still under the control of subordinate officials.
In this matter, both the county magistrate and Peng Xianwei had the advantage of overturning the case for the Zhang family.
Peng County Wei said: "Who told you these secrets in the yamen?"
Peng Jingyi said honestly: "Yes, my nephew told him..."
Peng Chengdao: "How did my nephew know that he is so real? He can peel off the cocoons and reveal these truths..."
“Young Master praises me, but I feel ashamed that I don’t deserve it.”
Zhang Yue felt relieved, but Peng Cheng said: "Why are you so shameless and so arrogant that you imitate the words of your elders?"
Zhang Yue said: "I don't dare."
Peng Cheng finished another bowl of wine and said, "Sift the bowl of wine."
Following Peng Cheng's instructions, the Yaqian outside the door was about to come in to serve, but Peng Cheng scolded him: "Who wants you to sift the pickled goods?"
The Yamen hurriedly exited. Zhang Yue hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Young Master, I'll come."
Peng Cheng was noncommittal. When Zhang Yue poured the second bowl, Peng Jingyi on the side took it and poured a bowl of wine for Zhang Yue.
At this moment, Peng Cheng laughed and said: "Sanlang, you are my nephew's friend. Although I have never met him before, I have heard him mention you. And today your family is in trouble, and it is my nephew who brought you here." , it would be easier if you ask for it."
