There was a scholar surnamed Hu, who was born noble, had a huge wealth, was very talented, and was known as Li Bai and Cao Zijian in the reincarnation, but he did not return to the middle of the scientific examination many times, so he died of this heart, and he lingered in the mountains and rivers all day long, and practiced to be invincible in the amount of alcohol; he was good at making friends, but if he recognized someone, he would not hesitate to waste money and fight for righteousness, and if he encountered admiration for help, he would not ask about the origin, and he would never let people return empty-handed!
The local county magistrate's surname was Cen, and he had the heart to make friends, so he asked his subordinates to invite him a few times, but Hu Shusheng didn't like him! Cen County Commander personally wrote another post, saying that he intended to come over to visit, and asked his subordinates to send it again, and his parents came to the door, and it was a bit too late to see him again, Hu Shusheng asked his subordinates: Can the county order drink alcohol? The subordinate replied: It is rare to meet an opponent! The scholar clapped his hands: If you can drink, you can do it! So he decided to come over the next day to drink and enjoy the plums;
The next day, the boss of the county order arrived, but he had no choice but to resign from the scholar, the scholar was reluctant, just borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and the county order was completed and ushered in, and he still thought that the scholar came to invite, but the scholar didn't mean this at all;
When the autumn is high and cool, the county order finally did not hold back, and sent the next person to meet, the scholar happened to be drunk, and said that he would come to admire the moon tomorrow, the county order was overjoyed, and carefully prepared a few poems to meet the occasion, but the day was not beautiful, the next day the county order Mrs. suddenly had a miscarriage, this child was the county order day and night, where did he dare to leave half a step, there was no way to send someone to push again;
Life is like this, sometimes it's really evil, the follow-up county order invited a few times, and every time it was wrong, so that both of them had a heart disorder, this day the two made an appointment to drink the next day, the scholar arranged for someone to prepare the banquet wine and food early, and also ordered the next person not to receive other guests today, he wanted to quickly pay off this wine debt, never see each other again, save trouble!
But that day, the official actually arrested the wanted criminal, the county order was eager to get a confession, and the iron case was completed, which was a great political achievement, where do you remember the wine bureau, the scholar did not come, and sent people to the yafu to urge several times, saying that the county order was trying the case, and there was no word to tell them to pass it on, the scholar was furious, and felt that it was a shame to let such a pickled and vulgar official shake it three times or five times, and called all the people to eat the banquet, and he drank the wine alone, and more than a dozen bowls of urgent wine went down, and he was drunk!
Until it was about 9 o'clock, the county order beat the key offender half to death, and finally got the confession of the painting, he was full of ambition, remembered that there was a wine bureau on the scholar's side, so he hummed a small song and sat in a sedan chair, and when he arrived at the scholar's house, he saw that the banquet that should have been his protagonist was already in a mess, the scholar glanced at him with slanted eyes, and vomited everywhere on his body, half deliberately and half drunk, and asked him who he was, what was he doing here? The county order trembled with anger, and turned his head back to the county office!
At the end of the year, the long worker in the scholar's house lost his hand and killed a person due to a gambling dispute, and the wife of the long worker went to the yamen to beat the drum and shout injustice, and it happened that the county order's henchmen recognized her, he knew that the county order wanted to find the scholar's handle day and night, so he conspired with the county order, and took fifty taels of silver to the complaining woman, so that she framed the scholar according to her words, the woman saw the money, and the dispute between her husband and her colleagues who gambled and lost their lives was said to be a scholar who wanted to rape her after drinking, and her husband resisted and was beaten to death by the scholar！
If the county order that got the confession was a treasure, he immediately ordered all the officials to kill the scholar's house, all the men were arrested, and the scholar who was drinking in the backyard scolded the family members who came to report the news, saying that the county order was not so bold, and the officials searched for it, and they were actually not angry that their master had been despised by the scholars many times, where did they still listen to his righteousness and strict words, a set of shackles, and directly handcuffed to the yafu;
The scholar would rather die than give in, but the family couldn't bear the torture, and they drew confessions according to the requirements of the county order, and the scholar was characterized as a heinous rich and unkind person, an adulterer's wife, and murder.
The scholar has a family background, the family went to the capital early to carry out activities, the county order found out the news, for fear of long nights and dreams, arranged for henchmen to sneak into the prison, beat the scholar badly, and then put the sack with soil to press the scholar's face, seeing that there was only out of the air, no air in;
The patrol leader of the Yafu, just returned from vacation, he and the scholar are more in love, have drunk together before, learned that the scholar was in prison, surprised, but people are soft-spoken, can only be within the scope of their own authority to let the scholar suffer less, this day is his night patrol, according to the usual to visit the scholar, only to see the scholar limbs are tied, covered in blood, the head is pressed with a mud bag, quickly loosen the tie, the mud bag is removed, massage the muscles and veins, but also the life of the book should not be broken, actually turned around!
The patrol recognized the henchmen of the county order, knew that he did it, was furious, tied up the henchmen, and asked the jailer to clamp the stick, the jailer has always been bullied by the henchmen, happy to have someone come out, hanged to the death, and howled like a pig in pain, confessed that it was arranged by the county order, and the patrol was also an old man, knowing that this person could not take the county order, so he scolded the henchman for biting indiscriminately, it was clear that you could not ask for bribes from the scholar, and became angry with shame, and wanted to kill himPrivately, but he did not dare to secretly harm the lives of scholars;
The case is getting bigger and bigger, and it is difficult for the emperor and the three divisions to decide, the core witness of this case, the wife of the dead Changgong, who has taken the money, has long been unable to find anyone, and both sides insist that the other party killed her by killing her and killing her. On the contrary, he became famous for daring to be the master of the people and overthrow the rich, and was promoted to governor, but the scholar's family was willing to let people die in vain, and they have been holding on to the suspicions, so the scholar has been imprisoned in prison, not pardoning or killing, during which several Shangguan were impartial and outspoken, but instead they were found an excuse to impeach and remove the official by the Jingtang (former county order, repeatedly promoted), more than ten years have passed, with the death of those perjured long-term workers have fallen ill, the scholar himself has rejected the idea of being released from prison, and this sensational case has slowly been forgotten.
This year, the ancient surname of the new county order took office, Jingtang (the original county order) as usual before he took office to instruct not to go over the old case, but aroused the suspicion of the unbelieving county order, after taking office, he carefully read all the files of the scholar's case, and visited many local surviving insiders, knowing that the case has a great grievance, he focused on the henchman of the former county order, this person has not been heard from since he was dismissed, and the ancient county order immediately offered a reward of 100 gold to take him. Sure enough, there will be a brave man under the heavy reward, within a month, the henchman who has been incognito in the neighboring county was accused, after the arrest was brought to the case, before the punishment was used, the henchman confessed the cause and effect of the scholar's case one by one, the ancient county decree sentenced the scholar to be acquitted and released in court, the news spread quickly, the government and the opposition were shocked, and the county decree ordered the ancient county magistrate to immediately return to Beijing to report on his work; the county decree submitted all the suspicious points in the file, the testimony of the neighbors, and the confessions of the confidants, forming a complete chain of evidence, and the three magistrates had nothing to say, and finally -----
Question: The scholar's family is rich, haven't you thought about avoiding suspicion?
Answer: As a county magistrate, I only know how to enforce the law, and I don't know how to avoid suspicion!
After the county order came back from the debriefing, the scholar wanted to come to the door to thank him, and his wife asked him to bring some gifts, and the scholar said: What kind of gift can be worthy of this kindness? Suyi went empty-handed, the county order invited him to the back hall to meet, and the next person moved a chair and sat next to it, and the scholar proudly said, I only admit the capital crime, and do not admit to sit down, and the county order hurriedly re-saw the ceremony, saying that the student was offended!
Cen Jingtang (the original county order) was unwilling to be released, wrote to impeach the county order, and requested that the scholar be re-arrested and sentenced to death, the three divisions of the government submitted the details of the investigation of the ancient county order to the imperial review, the emperor was furious, and ordered Cen Jingtang to be removed from his post to be punished, but because Cen has been a Beijing official for nearly ten years, the relationship is complicated, in order to avoid turmoil, Cen is degraded to a common people, all family property is confiscated, and the family is sent to the southwest border miasma;
Scholar heard it, slightly not shocked, still indulged in landscape poetry, at this time the family industry has been nearly destitute, he did not care, more than 50 years old, met a barefoot old road, the gourd is rare in the world, he asked the source of this wine, the old Tao said at the foot of Lushan, and said that if the scholar follows him, a lifetime of wine is not worried, the scholar happily from it!
When the county magistrate heard this, he sighed: What a madman! He sent people to Lushan to look for him more than ten times, but he was never found;
A sigh!
