Taipingchun

Nanjing Dali Temple

Han Bangwen locked himself in the office early in the morning, and no one was allowed to disturb him, and now it was almost dusk.

As for what to worry about?It was just a dossier sent by Xu Xiu from Jiangning County. The master of Jiangning County knew that Ying Tianfu was not easy to care about, so he had to send it to Dali Temple, hoping that Han Zhengqing would make a fair decision.

Han Bangwen stopped and walked, and repeatedly picked up his pen to write a palindrome, but after repeated thinking, he could only continue to put it down, frowning and sitting sullenly.

After a long time, he shook his head and said to himself, "Little baby, you are worrying me so much."

The pile of dossiers was placed on the desk, which clearly explained Guo Jun's case, physical evidence, witness testimony, and multiple testimonies.Guo Jun's failure to plead guilty does not mean that the matter cannot be sentenced.

The dossiers compiled by Xu Xiu are clear at a glance. They are interlocking, and the chain of evidence is closely connected with the facts of the crime and the process. No one can find fault. But if it is an ordinary case, it doesn’t matter if Han Bangwen approves it. The relationship with Yin Lu Heng of Yingtian Mansion, who has many business contacts and is very powerful, is very distressing.

Ordinary people say that it is difficult to be an official under the feet of the emperor, and it is even more difficult for the governors of the two capitals. As for the fact that there are so many honorable and noble officials like dogs, and that it is difficult to be a governor, that is too much to underestimate the governors of the two capitals. have energy.

There may be political considerations and worries about officialdom, but if someone really dares to slap the Fu Yin in the face, the Fu Yin will not care which prince or noble you are, or which grand scholar's son you are, but you still have the ability to let you know why are flowers so red.

The two biggest princes in Nanjing can only say that they are local snakes. The real one is Fu Yin, which is at the level of Tyrannosaurus rex. None of the Nanjing Six Divisions can match Ying Tian Fu Yin's control over the local area, let alone Dali Temple.

This is also Han Bangwen's scruples about Lu Heng, so he has to be taken into consideration.

In the same way, Beijing is the same. The one in Beijing may have more political considerations, but if the governor of the most benevolent place is afraid of offending people, it is a mockery of this position and such a third-rank governor. Pure joke.

Here is Yang Tinghe, who has been entrusted by his friend for many years, to take care of him, and there is Pan Fan and Lu Heng, who has real interests.

The old aide outside the door whispered: "Boss, Mr. Pan from the Ministry of Punishment is here."

Han Bangwen stroked his beard and said, "Receive me first, and I'll come later."

"Yes."

After flipping through the files, he pulled the case involving Fu Hai and Wu Hong aside and went to the outer compartment.

Seeing him coming, Pan Fan got up to say hello. If it is true about rank, then it is Pan Shangshu, and it shouldn't be so. However, both of them were Jinshi in Chenghua five years ago, and they were related in the same year. If you have a good personal relationship, then you don't have to be too alienated.

Pan Fan smiled and said, "Brother Da Jing, don't come here without any harm."

They are all sophisticated senior bureaucrats. If they turn their faces in the future because of political differences and attack each other, if Han Bangwen thinks that he is polite, he can do whatever he wants. Can't afford it.

Han Bangwen quickly returned the gift, and when he listened to the words he called him, he realized that he might not have come here for business, so he said smoothly, "Brother Tingfang, it's been a long time."

If the two yamen, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Dali Temple, say that they can communicate in a polite and friendly manner, it is pure nonsense. One of the important functions of the Dali Temple is to review the cases of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. , to see if there is any grievance, to see if the law is in compliance, etc. If the relationship between the two chief officials is okay, then it’s fine. hell.

However, the same year and personal relationship made these two people different from their predecessors, not to mention that Han Bangwen is now a senior official who knows the things of the six doors.

Han Bangwen poured him a cup of tea, and said with a smile, "Brother Tingfang, why did you come to my Dali Temple today?"

Pan Fan ordered some teacups to signal him to stop, smelled the good Jinling local tea, and said: "It's just some trivial matters, the main thing is to come and see Brother Dajing. I heard that you have been feeling cold recently, so I came to visit you." .”

"Hey, it's okay. The old doctor took a few doses of medicine and the disease was cured. It's okay."

"That's good."

It's just three or five fighters, and a few cups of tea. For the two of them, it's a habitual way of talking, just going around in circles.

Feeling that the timing was not too far off, Pan Fan guided the words casually, saying: "I heard that Jiangning County has imprisoned Guo Jun, but the case has not been submitted to our Ministry of Criminal Affairs, nor has Mr. Lu received it, so he must have entered Dali Temple."

Han Bangwen nodded, there is nothing to hide about this thing, everyone in Yingtian Mansion who wants to know can know it.

Said: "Yes, Jiangning County sent Guo Jun's file to me."

Pan Fan asked curiously, "I don't know what punishment Jiangning County Xiaowa was sentenced to?"

"cut."

Pan Fan raised his brows and said, "This little boy from Jiangning County is a radical master. If I remember correctly, since I took office in the Nanjing Criminal Department, there hasn't been a single beheading approved by Jiangning County."

If there is a death penalty in the southeastern provinces, it is basically reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice in Nanjing, and there is no need to report it to Beijing. Therefore, Pan Fan said that only when the Ministry of Criminal Justice nods can the criminal be killed. If you want to disgust the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the death row prisoner will turn over to Dali Temple before he dies. Maybe if the two sides disagree, he can get a commutation of sentence and get a legendary chance of life.

Of course, this premise is that the case itself has not been made into an iron case, and there is still aftertaste that can be manipulated.

Han Bangwen knew that it was time for him to make a statement. If Pan Fan said it first, it would be more difficult to operate.

In a timely manner, he said: "Looking at it, brother Yu, it is not an exaggeration for Guo Jun to be beheaded."

Pan Fan was not surprised, and continued to drink the fragrant tea steadily, but looked at Han Bangwen slightly, and seeing him looking back at him calmly, he couldn't help laughing: "Old Han, we are almost seventy, as the saying goes It is said that people in their seventies are rare in ancient times, so what is there that cannot be ignored?"

Then he stroked his gray beard and said with emotion: "In the blink of an eye, from the fifth year of Chenghua to the present, we old brothers have had ups and downs, and only in our later years have we entered the ranks of the six ministers and nine ministers. Although it is not like that in Beijing, But this life has not been in vain.”

Hearing what he said, Han Bangwen couldn't help but feel depressed. People say that the children of young people are old in the world, and people say that the pink beauty has temple spots.He's getting old, and the scholarly spirit that used to be high-spirited is gone now.Now he is just living in Nanjing for the elderly, and when he needs to make room for himself in Beijing, isn't it the result of being an official after a few attacks?

Seeing the old man's wrinkled face and white hair, but the shrewd and capable taste of his tricks did not diminish at all, Han Bangwen smiled and said: "Brother's spirit is better than back then. It is very useful. Jiang Ziya only fished in his eighties." 800 years after the Zhou Dynasty, you old man69 is younger than Huang Hansheng."

When Pan Fan heard what he said, he laughed and said, "No way, no way."

Han Bangwen nodded his head and laughed at himself: "My foolish brother is just living a peaceful and happy life. Brother Tingfang is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, and Master Lu is in charge of Jinling. I, the Minister of Dali Temple, must have some free time."

"This is your blessing."

When we saw each other, Pan Fan said: "You and I are already old, why bother to make trouble again? Lu Heng is an upright man, why should you meddle, just look at it, Jiangning County The baby is just young and energetic, and it is good for him to suffer a little bit."

Speaking of old age, isn’t it just to make Han Bangwen feel tired? This kind of slapstick is really wonderful. Han Bangwen naturally knows what is said here. Hearing him say this, he just smiled and didn’t say anything.

The staff who had developed a tacit understanding over the past few decades said: "Master Pan doesn't know something, and our boss is also suffering. If this matter is sent back to Jiangning like this, or handed over to Ying Tianfu of the Ministry of Punishment, it will be dishonest to others. .”

Pan Fan glanced at Han Bangwen who was sipping tea with his head bowed, and said, "Which god is it?"

The old staff member pointed at it with a serious expression.

Naturally, it refers to Yang Tinghe who joined the cabinet. Once you talk about things with the mentality of an old man, I will use the banner of the cabinet to talk about my difficulties, to protect myself, and to be wise.

Second, it is not a gentleman's way to break trust with others, and no one can say that it is wrong.

When Pan Fan saw him pointing like this, he also thought of Yang Tinghe. Before the great god left, he canceled Wu Hong's official position. It was regarded as the last help for Xu Xiu. This cancellation is really vicious. It is difficult to overturn the decision of the predecessor, which is not to say that it is impossible, but no one wants to have so many cabinet scholars as enemies.Even if the cabinet is now Liu Jin's mouthpiece, it is still the cabinet.

Han Bangwen said embarrassingly: "Since there is a factual basis, if Guo Jun gives up, he will give up. Why are you so brave?"

Pan Fan clicked his lips and said: "You really don't know the great scriptures. This Guo Jun gave a lot of tribute to the six doors, and the governor took a fancy to him. Fu Hai is Lu Heng's confidant, how can he be defeated? It moves the whole body, the little baby didn't think carefully, not to mention that there is Cheng Guogong's statement in it."

Han Bangwen is a little tired, the pressure is indeed great, but does the old man have to spend the rest of his life without passion? What a joke, he raised the teacup and said: "Jiangning County has no fault, Guo Jun is guilty, this is Dali Temple In conclusion, as for Fu Hai and Wu Hong, I will discuss it with Xu Jin and Xu Shangshu after I understand it."

Hearing this Xu Jin, Pan Fan's scalp felt numb. This can be said to be a fighter, fighting Wang Zhi, fighting to become Emperor Hua, and now also fighting Liu Jin. He was kicked out of Beijing and came to Nanjing. If he is allowed to mix in With one kick, things are difficult.

Regardless of Han Bangwen's change of tone, it became the rhythm of business-like toasting and seeing off guests.

He pointed at him pretending to be relaxed and said, "You old man, you are confused."

After seeing off Pan Fan, Han Bangwen watched the setting sun and listened to the staff's words, "Boss, do you really want to take this muddy water?"

He said calmly: "The afterglow of the setting sun is the most beautiful thing but the setting sun."

it is more than words.

The author has something to say:

Perhaps influenced by the description of characters in "Water Margin", Shan Shi always wanted to write the characters vividly and three-dimensionally, but due to limited knowledge and poor writing style, it is almost impossible to reach the level of "Water Margin". Therefore, I can only strive to write each character well in my own way.Shanshi has always believed that the soul of novels lies in the characters, so I will attach great importance to the writing of characters, so that everyone can remember every character that appears in Taipingchun, not a simple symbol is my goal.Although it is difficult, I will try my best.
