Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 1

The first year of Xining.

Dengzhou government prison.

The cell, where the sun and the moon are not seen all year round, is damp, cold, and filled with a disgusting stench everywhere.

A series of wooden doors made of wooden sticks separated more than 20 rooms from the small cell.

There is only a bed made of bricks in the room. A kind of withered grass called "mattress" is piled on the brick bed, and it can only accommodate a person with a height of 1.6 meters to stretch his legs. There is nothing else in the small wooden barrel, so I don't know whether the wooden barrel is for washing or peeing.

Just living here is already a kind of torture.

For those who have committed the worst crimes, they deserve it all.

There are exceptions to everything.

Not everyone who lives here is someone who should live here.

A few bangs were heard.

The cell door was opened, and two jailers came in. Rao, those who come here often, they would cover their mouths and noses when they entered the door, and glanced at every prisoner inside with angry and contemptuous eyes, as if they were I'm blaming them, why you don't like cleanliness so much, or thinking, you can live here for so long.

The prisoners in the cell did not respond to this, only a few sporadic ones glanced at them lightly, and then continued to fall asleep. Unlike the TV show, when the cell door was opened, a group of prisoners shouted for injustice.

It can be seen that their awareness is quite high, or they are already desperate, and they will not have any expectations for this.

The two guards endured their nausea and came to the door of the innermost cell. They saw a person sitting inside. Because he was sitting with his back against the wall, his head bowed, and his head was covered with a disheveled face, his face could not be seen clearly. He was dressed differently from others, with a gray shirt with a round neck and trousers with tight feet, but his feet were like others, with a pair of straw sandals, embellished with many fresh blood scabs.

Like the others, this man had no reaction to the arrival of the two jailers.

Only one of the jailers shouted: "Zhang San."

The prisoner slowly raised his head. Although his face was a little dirty, he still did not hide his handsome appearance, and he was only about 24 or [-] years old.

"You can go out."

While talking, the jailer opened the cell door.

The young man called Zhang San didn't have any surprise on his face, he just closed his eyes and exhaled foul breath, got up slowly and went to the door, and stretched his arms a little, but he saw that he was better than the two jailers. He was half a head taller, and suddenly he raised his eyebrows and asked the two guards, "That's it?"

The two jailers were questioned, their faces covered, and they couldn't help but look at each other. One of them was slightly puzzled: "Otherwise?"

The other jailer was not so easy to talk to. Seeing the prisoner's arrogance, he immediately reprimanded him, "What else do you want?"

Zhang San suddenly chuckled: "Don't misunderstand me, you two, I just want to say thank you Zhizhou for restoring my innocence, and thank you both for taking care of me these days."

"It's almost there."

The expressions of the two jailers softened slightly.

Zhang San suddenly asked again: "By the way, two poor brothers, where should the gate of the government office go?"

"Why do you ask this?" A jailer gave him a wary look.

Zhang San said sincerely: "That's it. I know that the old man in Zhizhou is busy with business, so it's not convenient for him to accept my thanks in person. Therefore, I want to go to the gate and salute to show my heart."

After listening to the two jailers, they also felt that it was reasonable. After all, it was indeed their Zhizhou who helped Zhang San clear his grievances, so they informed Zhang San of the direction of the gate of the government office.

After leaving the prison gate, although it was the beginning of autumn, the sun hanging in the sky was still as hot as the scorching sun. The fierce sunlight made Zhang San unable to open his eyes for a while, and he felt a halo in front of him, which almost made him feel dizzy. passed out.

The two jailers immediately stepped forward to help him, and then forcibly brought him to the gate of the mansion prison. They stretched out their hands and pushed Zhang San out of the gate, and then closed the gate.

As long as you don't faint here, it has nothing to do with them.

In human terms, it means death is farther away.

Zhang San, who was already dizzy, was pushed like this and almost fell down. He almost exhausted all his strength to stand firm, bowed and took several breaths, and then slowly straightened up. He suddenly lifted up. Turning his head, the kind smile just now had disappeared, replaced by a face full of grief and indignation.

Regardless of the glare of the sun, he opened his eyes angrily, and cursed angrily: "Even this sun wants to torture me, it's really deceiving."

It turned out that his name was not Zhang San, but his real name was Zhang Fei. At the same time, he was not from the Northern Song Dynasty, but a trainee lawyer from thousands of years later.

I still remember that afternoon, when he went to work in the countryside, on the way back, unfortunately, he encountered a flash flood, and he was swept away with his car and others. In the raging torrent, he gradually felt his body getting heavier and heavier, and his consciousness gradually became blurred, but when he surfaced again, he actually snuggled into the arms of a young girl.

The woman rescued him ashore and left in a hurry.

In a daze, he saw that the woman was dressed in an ancient costume, and he was very curious, but he didn't think about it.

After a long time, he recovered from the drowning, groped his body, and found that there was nothing on his body, his mobile phone and so on, all left in the car, even the newly bought sneakers were gone, and he was about to Looking for someone to borrow a phone number, suddenly a few men dressed as ancient government officials appeared in front of him, and they were going to catch him.

Zhang Fei was stunned. Where did these people come from? He resisted desperately, and even uttered harsh words, telling them to go home and wait for the court summons. Big streaks tied up.

What's worse, he couldn't quite understand what the other party said, and the people he met on the road all avoided them, and these passers-by were all dressed in ancient costumes.

And when he saw the ancient city gate, he gradually realized that he might have passed through.

However, the more magical thing is yet to come, he seems to be involved in a murder case.

However, due to language differences, it was extremely difficult for the two sides to communicate. He couldn't even say his own name clearly.

Before he could figure out anything, he was thrown into prison.

It was only when I was communicating with other prisoners in the prison that I gradually learned the words here, and finally figured out what happened.

It turned out that he traveled to the Xining period of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The woman who rescued him that day was named Ayun, a native of Penglai County, Dengzhou. Her mother died a year ago, and her family uncle betrothed her to a farmer named Wei Ada in the next village.

This person is said to be extremely ugly and well-known, and it is said that Ayun was born like a fish and a wild goose, a moon-shame flower, and is also a well-known beauty.

Ah Yun is naturally unwilling, but this is a feudal society, and women are not allowed to be the masters of marriage. Most women will bear it and let it go. , that's it.

A stronger woman is committing suicide.

But this Ayun is not ordinary. She took advantage of the night to sneak into the next village with a knife and assassinated Wei Ada who was watching the night by the field, but she was a weak woman after all. She swung more than ten knives, but none of them hit the vital point. , just cut off one of Wea's big fingers.

But because of fear, and seeing that Wei Ada was covered in blood, Ayun thought he had killed Wei Ada, so he left in a hurry. On the way home, he happened to meet Zhang Fei who was not sure if he was drowning. , so Zhang Fei was rescued.

It happened that a passing Chaifu saw Ayun and Zhang Fei hugging each other, so when the government was looking for Ayun's motive for the murder, they suspected that Ayun and Zhang Fei had committed adultery, and the two conspired to murder Wei Ada.

What's worse, Zhang Fei couldn't understand what they were saying and couldn't explain it, so he was imprisoned immediately.

This hurdle lasted for three months.

Faced with this unwarranted disaster, Zhang Fei was once in despair.

When he was imprisoned in the feudal era, he would not be able to get out in all likelihood, but after he knew some of the language here, he immediately explained it. During the period, because he still didn't understand the pronunciation of the word "fei", he reported himself to Zhang San.

Fortunately, the Zhizhou is not confused, now that Ayun has pleaded guilty to the law, and after repeated investigations, he finally concluded that Ayun's confession is the truth, and Zhang Fei is not her adulterer.

As for the set of origins that Zhang Fei made up, due to the prosperous business of the Song Dynasty, there were many businessmen coming and going, and there were many cases of concealed household registration. The government did not investigate carefully, because it was a very cumbersome job.

The point is that this has nothing to do with this case.

So Zhang Fei was released today.

However, for Zhang Fei, the more he thought about it, the worse he suffered!

If you take a step back, the more you think about it, the more angry you get!
Full of anger and aggrieved, as if to explode his chest, he urgently needs a place to vent.

After getting out of the prison, he made a detour to the gate of the official mansion. Looking at the solemn gate of the mansion, he first took a deep breath, and then went straight to the gate.

But after all, this is a state government office, not a county government office in a small county. There are always office guards standing guard at the gate. Suddenly, a man with a disheveled face and a black face rushed towards him, and immediately stepped forward to stop him.

One of the yamen servants sternly shouted: "Stop! This is an important place of the government, and you are not allowed to enter without permission."

The hostility on Zhang Fei's face was restrained, but he said straightforwardly: "I'm here to complain."

As he spoke, he took out a blood letter that had been written in prison and handed it over.

He specialized in studying ancient justice before, and read a lot of books. He can still write most of the traditional characters.

"Complaint?"

The two guards seemed a little surprised, but seeing that it was another blood book, they didn't dare to neglect, one of them asked Zhang Fei to wait here, and the other immediately turned around and entered the gate.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a mustache came out.

This person's name is Liu Hai, and he is a Muke in the Fuzhong, who is responsible for reviewing and delivering the pleadings.

"Who will file a complaint?"

"it's me."

Zhang Fei replied immediately.

Liu Hai took a closer look, and felt that this person looked familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. Curious, he took the pleading paper and read the signature first, suddenly realized, looked up at Zhang Fei and said, "It's you?"

Zhang Fei nodded and smiled, "It's me."

Liu Hai frowned, and looked at the pleading paper again, after a while, his face revealed a look of shock, and he immediately ordered the yamen at the gate to take Zhang Fei down first, while he hurried inside.

The Yamen in front of the gate, although Zhang Fei had already been arrested, they were also very curious, this was the first time they had seen this situation in the government office for many years.

He came here to sue, why should he be taken down?
Could it be another shocking case?
One of the yamen finally couldn't help being curious and asked Zhang Fei: "Brother, who are you suing and why?"

Zhang Fei replied: "The name of the person I am suing is Xu Zun."

Xu Zun?

It sounds familiar!

Suddenly, one of the yamen came to his senses, pointed at Zhang Fei in surprise and anger, and said, "You dare to sue us Zhizhou."

It turned out that Xu Zun was none other than the magistrate of Dengzhou.
