Justice may be late, but it will not be absent?
During the Ming Dynasty, a girl named Mankuraer was sold by her father and became a kabuki after several changes.
Man Cang'er, who had a miserable background, may not have thought that he would be involved in the political struggle of the court in the future, and even the emperor of the dynasty was involved.
The body of the little person is involuntarily
In the ninth year of the reign of Ming Hongzhi, at the feet of the emperor's mighty Son of Heaven, under the appearance of wealth and prosperity, there were many flies and dogs.
Look at those dignitaries, peddlers and pawns, who don't have pickles in their hearts? Suddenly, thunder sounded in the sky, like a warning from the gods...
The lowest-ranking officer in the capital, Wu Neng, who lives in Fulu Alley, is in chaos at home, and Wu Neng is really incompetent as his name suggests.
has been a Pengcheng Wei Qianhu all his life, because he has no outstanding features and no nobles to promote, he has worked in the miscellaneous army all his life, and he has not entered the descendant army.
Mixed to the old, Wu Neng's life is not even as good as some ordinary people, on this day Wu Neng's wife came back from her mother's second sister's house with her son, the second brother-in-law just bought a big mansion, and they went to eat a housewarming banquet.
Seeing that his sibling sister had such a good life, his daughter-in-law Nie Shiyou began to feel that her life was miserable and she married a useless husband.
Nie Shi picked his teeth and said: "Look at my second sister's magnificence, on that head, she is not wearing gold and silver, even my mother has a light on her face, I can't wait to sit under the table."
Nie Shi said and glanced at her husband, and then said: "Fortunately, my brother-in-law is angry, let him help my son more when the time comes, and I also ask my sister to find a good family for us Mancang'er, alas, I am heartbroken about this family."
After finishing speaking, Nie Shi seemed to think of something, stood up and looked outside: "I'm full of warehouses, where did the dead girl go?"
A trace of panic flashed in Wu Neng's eyes, and he quickly covered it up
"This morning, Cousin Mancang'er came to ask her to go to the City God Temple for a meeting, and she will be back in a few days."
After hearing this, Nie Shi did not doubt that he was there, however, she would never have thought that her husband had already sold Mancang'er.
It turned out that on the day that the Nie family left home, Wu Neng's matchmaker Zhang Yuan found a good family for her daughter, and this Zhang Yuan saw that Mancang Chang Chu was moving, so she promised to tell Mancang'er to be a concubine for the imperial prince Zhou Yu.
Wu Neng didn't think about agreeing, the carriage took Man Cang'er away, and Zhang Yuan gave Wu Neng twenty taels of silver.
Wu Neng, who was holding the silver, was happy that he had found a gold and silver nest for his daughter, but he didn't know that this was pushing his daughter into the fire pit.
This Zhang Yuan is just an old woman, she knows the royal family there, and she bought Mancang'er to a brothel.
There was a performer in this brothel, named Yuan Lan, who saw that Mancang'er's long Shui Ling was a yellow flower girl, so he took her for himself, and Mancang'er was beaten in exchange for not complying.
Later, Man Cang'er accepted his fate and followed Yuan Lan to sing in a brothel.
Let's say that when the Nie family saw that their daughter had not returned for a long time, they became suspicious and ran to find Man Cang'er's cousin to ask, but the other party told him that he had never made an appointment with Man Cang'er.
After hearing this, Nie was horrified, thinking that his daughter had collided with the gods, so he asked the master to do it.
Seeing that the matter was about to be revealed, Wu Neng, who was already in poor health, was frightened several times, and fell ill, and before he died, he told him about selling his daughter to the Zhou Mansion as a concubine.
Nie was angry and hateful, and after burying her husband hastily, she took her son to pick up Mancang'er and go home.
However, when I came to the Zhou Mansion, I was told that there was no such person!
In the vast sea of people, Mancang'er's information was completely broken.
The Nie family was anxious to find her daughter, and ran around to inquire about her daughter's whereabouts, and the black-hearted Zhang Yuan had already rolled up and left.
The sky is pitiful, Nie finally found a trace of his daughter, but it was in the fireworks alley, at this time Mancang'er was already devastated, and she hated the world.
Man Cang'er thought that it was his parents who didn't want him and sold himself, so he refused to go home with Nie, and finally found his daughter's Nie, so he tied Man Cang back with his son.
Now it's Yuan Lan's turn to spend money to buy back Mancang'er, he was dumbfounded, he spent his own money, how could he let people snatch it away! Is there a royal law in broad daylight?
So Yuan Lan filed a complaint against Man Cang'er's family to the Criminal Department, which was the highest judicial organ at that time.
The two of them who accepted this case were Ding Zhe, a waiter of the Criminal Department, and Wang Jue, a member of the Foreign Department, who had handled many, many cases, and quickly ascertained the truth about such cases.
In the end, Nie said that he could return the money from the sale of his daughter to Yuan Lan, and the chief officer who handled the case was moved by Nie's beloved daughter and was preparing to conclude the case.
But Yuan Lan didn't forgive, Mancang'er was his cash cow, how could he let go easily, so he shouted in the court, this Yuan Lan was a vulgar person, and actually greeted the chief officer's mother.
Where can this Ding Zhe and Wang Jue endure it? So he ordered his subordinates to beat Yuan Lan with fifty lashes.
However, what people never expected was that after this Yuan Lan was beaten, his wound worsened, and he died in prison.
Now the plaintiff is dead, and the case itself is very clear, so Ding Zhe waved his hand and closed the case!
Man Cang'er was naturally taken home by the Nie family.
However, the matter is not over, people's hearts are sinister, and some people want to use Yuan Lan's death to make a big fuss.
During the Ming Dynasty, there was a special organization, the "Dongchang", which was a privileged supervision agency, a secret service agency, and a secret police agency.
There is a eunuch named Yang Peng in Dongchang, who has great power, this Yang Peng and Ding Zhe have always been at odds, Yang Peng has a nephew Yang Jia, who had an affair with her in the Qinglou where Mancanger was performing.
He noticed this case and planned to make a fuss about Ding Zhe.
So, Yang Peng found Yuan Lan's wife and instigated her to find the criminal department, saying that her husband was beaten to death by torture.
Then, Yang Peng found Zhang Yuan, who had sold Mancang'er at the beginning, and asked her to say that Mancang'er was his sister, and he had indeed sold Mancang'er to Zhou's mansion.
Later, the eunuch Yang Peng used his connections to get a document to prove that Man Cang'er was sold to the Zhou Mansion, but the hero of the matter, Man Cang'er, ran out and hid because he hated his father.
Now, that's really what Yang Peng said.
And his purpose in doing this is to turn Yuan Ling into a person who has nothing to do with this case, so what crime should Ding Zhe and others be guilty of killing an innocent person?
After such an operation, Beizhen Fusi intervened, Yang Peng pointed out that black is white, reversing right and wrong, Ding Zhe and others were speechless, Ding Zhe was imprisoned, and Wang Jue was sentenced to cane.
Could it be that these officials who eat imperial grain are all fools, are they really convinced that things should be like this because of Yang Peng's words?
No, no, no, the case has long been clear, everyone knows it, but everyone chooses to remain silent.
All of this was seen by a person named Xu Gui, who watched these people stir up the storm and ignore people's lives, and looked at the Criminal Department, Dongchang, the Procuratorate, and the Beizhen Fusi to listen to and believe it.
Because at this time, the power of Dongchang covers the sky with only one hand, and these people do not care, but power.
Xu Gui is a warden of the Criminal Department, and he is clear about the "Mancang'er case" from beginning to end, and he has already investigated it clearly, this is an unjust case created by Dongchang issuing perjury and using money to force Zhang Yuan and Yuan Lan's wife to retract their confessions!
Xu Gui then wrote a letter to Ming Xiaozong, stating everything that happened.
And he also pointed out that there are many "reversed black and white" like the Mancang'er case, and pointed out that Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Yushitai officials have created many unjust cases.
After Ming Xiaozong saw it, he was taken aback, in his eyes, his political stage was still very clean and pure, but he didn't expect to hide so much.
Xu Guijie, a small pawn, actually single-handedly resisted the entire officialdom, and he said loudly to those who were blinded by interests and ignored the truth: "The books of sages let you read into the belly of a dog."
The traitor is afraid of death and needs to die, how much will the loyal minister get if he asks for benevolence?
Xu Guiqi has such a record in the history of the Ming Dynasty
The ministers have a slight body, and the left and right are all the people who are in the Dongchang Town, and disasters are inevitable. Gu died in this generation, if he died in the court. I am willing to behead the ministers and do what they say. Send the bones back to the minister's wife, although the minister has no hatred when he dies.
Such an official can afford the word "pure minister".
Xu Gui knew that he was doing this because he was shaking the tree, but he still did it, he knew that this would cause Dongchang's revenge, he still did it, he was willing to use his head in exchange for the emperor's punishment of Dongchang Jinyiwei, as long as he let his wife and children collect their bodies.
Seo Gyu's approach finally made Ming Hyojong make up his mind, and he ordered the capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Shi Min Gyu, to conduct a thorough investigation of the case.
However, Ming Xiaozong still doesn't know, the officialdom at this time, the officials protect each other, they are like a huge net, netting the places that the emperor doesn't want to see.
This Min Gyu is also a person from Dongchang...
At the end of the matter, Min Gyu reported with a righteous face: "This case is not boring, everything is true, Xu Gyu is confused"
Xu Gui was demoted to a concubine, justice has not been served, when will it be done, I don't know.
Justice will be late, but it will not be absent? No, no, no, it will not only be late, but also absent.
How many such things are in the dust of history?
Seo Gyu, I want to ask you, if you are given another chance, will you still stand up?
