The big bad guy talks about humility, about decency, and wants to talk about big reason, and he seems very hesitant to do bad things. The little villain is shrewd and straight away.
Jia Yu Village and Gourd Monk Dai Dunbang painted
The fourth time in "Dream of the Red Chamber", it is written that Jia Yu Village was reactivated because it took the door of Prince Teng through Jia Zheng, and the official was appointed to the Prefect of Ying Tian. When Fang took office, he took over the Chen case in which Xue Pan, the king of the Dumb King, killed people and was deliberately delayed by the previous officials.
Here is a layer of doubt deliberately left by the author of the novel: Xue Pan is the nephew of Prince Teng, is there an ulterior motive for the appointment of Jia Yucun? Some people may say that when Jia Yucun began to try the case, he did not know who the perpetrator was, which is enough to prove that jia and Wang had no intention of committing favoritism and fraud through Jia Yucun. Who would think that way would be really naïve. In the high-level officialdom, pay attention to tacit understanding, leaving no trace, and clearly entrusting, what kind of system? As for Xue Pan's foundation, no matter what the way, Jia Yucun will know after all, so do you still have to worry about it?
What told Jia Yucun the inside story was a "doorman", a miscellaneous servant in the yamen. When Jia Yucun posed as a Qing official and grand master to sit in the hall and order the arrest of the murderer, the door made his eyes dissuade him.
Menzi gave a detailed account of the case to the new prefect. When you read a novel, you can't help but sigh that this door knows too many things.
He first took out a so-called "talisman" to introduce the situation of the four most powerful families in Jinling, Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue, and explained that the newly appointed officials must protect their interests in order to gain a foothold. Aside from the talisman, what else does the door know? He also knew where xue pan, the murderer of this case, had hidden, the situation of the deceased Feng Yuan and his family, and knew that the two families were fighting for the daughter of Zhen Shiyin, who had been favored by Jia Yu Village in the past, and he even knew who the traffickers were. Enough is enough, right? inadequate. He also knew that the newly appointed prefect was able to resume his official position because of the influence of the Jia Family and the Wangfu Family, and he knew too much.
A yamen miscellaneous servant who knows so much news, of course, it takes a lot of thought, what does he want to do?
This involves a bad habit of the Qing Dynasty government. The rules of the Qing Dynasty officialdom were not to use locals as local officials, and foreign officials did not know much about the complex social relations of the local area, and they needed servants who were familiar with the local situation to act as eyes and ears. Besides, there are a lot of sneaky things in the yamen, and the official is not easy to do blatantly, and he needs to help him communicate, which is what we often call "collusion" now. Therefore, although the status of the servant is very low, sometimes he can call the wind and rain and do evil, and the energy is very large.
Knowing the background of the case, Jia Yucun immediately knew what he was going to do.
It was not a good thing for Xue Pan to kill people, because he was a dumb overlord and there were people carrying bubble. Prince Teng these people are not so rash. In the power structure of authoritarian politics, even the most powerful officials have opposition. A human life case left there is not a good thing for them. For Jia Yu Village, if he can shelter Xue Pan in order to repay Jia Zheng and Prince Teng, this is an opportunity to climb the magnate and further rise.

Here we are going to talk about a special relationship between Menzi and Jia Yu Village. In the novel, it is written that Jia Yucun and Menzi came to the inner room, and the door came up to ask for peace, and with a smile, he asked: "The old man has always added officials to Jinlu, and he has forgotten me for eight or nine years?" Jia Yucun said, "But it is very kind and tight." That's a polite remark. The doorman laughed: "Lord, this is how much the nobles forget things, you have forgotten the place of your origin, you don't remember the hulu temple in those days?" ”
It turned out that when Jia Yucun was a poor scholar who was downcast, he once lived in the Gourd Temple, and the door was originally a small shami in the temple, that is, a monk who was still an apprentice. Later, Jia Yucun rushed to the examination, and the Gourd Temple was burned by a fire, and this little Shami had nowhere to live, so he re-planted his hair and went to Yamen as an errand boy.
Although it is an old acquaintance, but the current status is very different, how is the tone of this door talking to the big master like this? Not only casually, but also with a bit of sarcasm. Cao Xueqin wrote this, which is very worthy of understanding. We can imagine that Jia YuCun was so poor that he could not even afford to live in an inn, living in a small gourd temple, and Xiao Shami was a very shrewd and self-righteous person, of course, he would not take him seriously. A poor reader lives in a temple, what else is there to do? Therefore, although Jia Yucun is now the prefect, the impression of the past remains in Xiao Shami's mind. On the one hand, he was close to the big old man, and on the other hand, he was still grinning, as if he was still a little Shami talking to a poor student.
How did Jia Yu Village react? The book says he was shocked that he was like being hit by thunder. Why is there such a big reaction? A poor student, with all kinds of hardships and many storms, has come to this step, he is now a serious, decent and noble, and there is even a person who knows all kinds of pity and all kinds of ridiculousness in his past, and now this person is standing in front of him with a slippery face and a smile.
But Jia Yucun could afford to put it down, and after such a shock, he did not change his face, quickly pulled up Xiao Shami's hand, smiled and said, It turned out to be the old man, sit down quickly. Because Menzi's attitude was very positive, Jia Yucun, while learning about the case from him, also asked him for advice on how to handle the case.
So the little villain began to guide Jia Yucun on how to deal with the case. He said: Why didn't the old man push the boat along the water to make a complete human feeling and close the case? In the future, you may as well go to see the prince and the duke of Jia.
This was exactly what Jia Yucun had in mind, but he was not willing to put all his words in the hands of the doorman, so he replied very seriously, very seriously: Why are you not talking? But how can I repeal the law for personal gain?
What Jia Yucun said was completely a scene, but when the door listened, he couldn't help but sneer: "What the old master said is not a big truth, but it is impossible to go in the world today." This matter, the big reason is not feasible, the big husband must judge the situation, to be improvised, the old man does not know to be improvised?
Is the reasoning of the door correct? Yes, does Jia Yucun understand it? Got it. The difference is that the little villain wants to say this truth, and the big bad guy does it, but does not say it.
Interestingly, Menzi began to educate the prefect on how to be an official. The whole story is a wonderful dialogue between the big bad guys and the little bad guys.
What is the difference between the big bad guy and the little bad guy? The big bad guy talks about humility, about decency, and about big reasoning, even if he wants to do bad things, he seems to be very hesitant. The little villain is shrewd and cheerful, straight forward, one is one, two is two.

The key to the closure of this case is also very simple, that is, to let the person filing the complaint no longer sue. The way "Dream of the Red Chamber" is written in this place seems very strange. How jia yucun closed this case, the novel only said a simple sentence: "Jia Yucun bent the law and arbitrarily judged", which does not need to be described in detail. Why? Because, with Jia Yucun's cleverness, it was too easy to solve this problem, and bending the law was only a technical problem for him, without any difficulty. Therefore, Cao Xueqin didn't bother to write.
At this point, the big bad guy and the little bad guy have done a good job. But the little villains were not rewarded. After the case was closed, Jia Yucun remembered that there were too many things that this door knew, and he couldn't let him stay in this place, so he casually found a reason and charged it from a distance. It is to send the door to the unknown end of the world to charge the army.
Sometimes it is not good for one person to know too much, and it is even worse to reveal it all if one knows too much. This is the problem of the door, he wants to grow into a big bad guy like Jia Yucun, and he still has a long way to go. (Luo Yuming)
