Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 60
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Wu Yong hesitating to speak, but Cao Cao knew what he meant, so he pretended he didn't see it, and said to Chao Gai sincerely: "Brother Chao, don't just look at the alluring reputation, a sword has two sharp edges, and a thing has two sides." After this matter is completed, although Liangshan can become a leader in the world in one fell swoop, it has also become a bird in the eyes of the court and a target of public criticism. It will continue to be conquered in the future, and it will be rare to survive. This section must be investigated."

Seeing that he said it himself first, Wu Yong and Hua Rong looked at each other again, each with shame: ah, it turns out that this person is selfless in heart, otherwise how would he be willing to speak out his shortcomings?But it is our villainous heart that saves the belly of a gentleman.

Cao Cao laughed secretly, who can hide this shortcoming that anyone with a discerning eye can think of?What's more, looking at Chao Gai as a man, he is more than heroic and resolute, but has no foresight and insight. This kind of person only sees the immediate benefits, but it is difficult to see the steel knife behind him.

Sure enough, Chao Gai didn't take it seriously at all, and said disdainfully: "Leave me alone in the eight hundred miles of water, and then send one hundred thousand troops, and make them all die."

Cao Cao clasped his fists and praised: "Heavenly King is so proud and upright, it really breaks my heart!"

If others praised him, Chao Gai would just smile, but the praise from "Emperor Wei Wu" made Chao Gai feel proud and ecstatic in his heart.

"Hahahahahaha! But I'm a little timid, and I can't be honored as Brother Wu, so let's...hahahahahaha..." He wanted to say that we'll just make a deal, but he couldn't control his ecstasy, and he didn't finish his sentence. Laughed again.

Seeing that Cao Cao's brothers were dumbfounded-the dignified leader of Liangshan, the king of Tota, Chao Gai, why is his temperament somewhat similar to Li Kui?
As soon as everyone thought of Li Kui, Li Kui laughed and said: "Hahaha, you have a big beard, you are so rich. If my elder brother praises you, you will be so happy. It can be seen that he is also a straightforward man. After finishing the work, elder brother Well, Tieniu will drink a few bowls with you."

Everyone laughed for a while, Chao Gai also knew that he had lost his composure, so he gave a wry smile, but fortunately he was indeed upright and did not hide it, he patted Li Kui on the shoulder and said: "Your elder brother is a great hero, he praised me How can you not be happy? I saw you rushing to kill people before, and you are also a terrific iron man, and I want to drink with you."

Li Kui was overjoyed and shouted: "The elder brothers in Liangshan are really extravagant, if they don't want to follow my eldest brother to be the capital, you will be a bird in Liangshan as soon as you send it away."

Chao Gai was refreshed when he heard the words: "If brother Wu is willing to give in, who would you be the master of Liangshanbo?"

This was said to Cao Cao, Cao Cao waved his hands and said with a smile: "Brother has his own calculations, so it's not too late to talk about it later."

So everyone came to the lobby of the government office, and Pei Xuan asked Cao Cao to sit in the magistrate's seat. Cao Cao took a step back and pushed Pei Xuan back: "Brother, no one can decide this lawsuit except you. If you talk about private matters, you You are the sufferer who was framed by Cai Jiu, on the public opinion, what do you want to do if you don’t decide the case with a stern face? For my brother’s righteous desire, I will watch you settle the case with a stern face!"

Why did Cao Cao say that?Probably because of the Kongmu at that time, the full name is called "Six Cases Kongmu", how is it called "Six Cases"?It corresponds to the Six Departments of Officials, Households, Rituals, Criminals and Criminal Works at the center of the imperial court. Criminal and prison proceedings, tax account books, supervision warehouses, etc. are all within the scope of the "Six Cases". .If only in terms of internal affairs management ability, the outstanding Kongmu is probably stronger than the magistrate.

Pei Xuan still hesitated, but Wu Yong interjected: "Brother Kong Mu, a real man is in charge, and he will do his part."

Pei Xuan woke up suddenly, he still didn't recognize Wu Yong, seeing him dressed as a scholar, he bowed his head and said: "Mr. taught you well."

He bowed to Cao Cao again: "Brother, since that's the case, let's see my younger brother decide the case!"

After finishing speaking, he straightened his back, with a majestic look on his face, and sat upright behind the case, with a dignified and solemn manner, and everyone cheered: "What an iron face, if all the officials in the world are like this, how can you be so arrogant?" Don't you see the blue sky everywhere?"

Pei Xuan's eyes were fixed, and he shouted: "Come here, bring the criminal Cai Jiu to the hall!"

But Deng Fei laughed out loud outside the door, and said in response: "Lead someone in prison!" He raised his chest high and strode into the hall. Dragging into the lobby, the threshold of the lobby is very high, Cai Jiu dragged in face down, grinding so painfully, it was obvious that he was almost beaten.

Deng Fei dropped the leg in his hand, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, the criminal Cai Jiu is here!" Knocking his heel, Cai Jiu said, "Aren't you still kneeling? Do you want the master to serve you?"

"Don't dare!" Cai Jiu exclaimed, struggling to get up on her knees. She was not wearing an official uniform, but a dirty policeman's clothes. She obviously wanted to make up and escape, but failed.

He was born obese, but his clothes were narrow, his body was strangled with distinct streaks of fat, his face was covered with dust, and his frightened face made him look pitiful and ridiculous.

Seeing this, Li Kui smiled and said, "Where is this prefect Cai Jiu? It's clearly a fat mouse that stole food from the grain depot."

Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi and the others laughed, and the courtroom was filled with joy, and there was no trace of Zhuang Su.

Cao Cao said: "Tie Niu is right. This Jiangzhou is a land of fish and rice. Cai Jiu relied on Cai Jingshi to come here to be an official. He is just a big mouse that got into the state granary and ate his belly. Tie Niu, the court is solemn, we Wait and don't speak, let Master Pei decide the case."

Li Kui agreed with a smile.

Pei Xuan glanced at Cao Cao gratefully, and turned his eyes back to Cai Jiu: "Cai Dezhang! You are guilty!"

"Convicted, guilty, I'm a big guilty person." Cai Jiuji nodded like pecking at rice: "I know that there are two serious crimes. The first one is that I hated you at the beginning, Mr. Pei, and refused to break the law together. You are exiled into the army; the second point is that you have listened to Huang Wenbing's instigation and framed the righteous man Song Gongming, which caused the strong man to be angry and bleed all over the city. Fufa, please judge."

After saying that, he knocked his head on the ground for a long time, so no one saw the treacherous smile on his face.

Originally, when Cai Jiuchu was arrested, he was terrified, especially after seeing Pei Xuan, the panic reached its peak, and he thought that he would die, but Pei Xuan only gave him a cold look, and then ordered people to continue arresting Officials at all levels blocked the official treasury and Cai Jiu's mansion.

Cai Jiu trembled beside him for a while, and gradually he became less afraid.Just because he listened to people talking intermittently, he wanted to judge them as officials by Song law.I couldn't help but secretly ecstatic: If these grassroots bandits of the chaotic country play tricks, I, Cai Dezhang, have no choice but to accept my fate, but if they want to try me according to the law like a pig's nose with a green onion in their eyes?Hey, that's exactly - the squid got off the golden hook, swung its tail and shook its head and never came back again!

Pei Xuanwan didn't expect Cai Jiu to plead guilty so readily. He frowned and remained silent for a while.

Seeing this, Cao Cao stepped forward and said in a low voice, "What are the laws of the Great Song Dynasty?"

Pei Xuan said in a low voice: "According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, officials framed their colleagues and subordinates, the evidence obtained was true, and they were dismissed and never used. "

After hearing this, Cao Cao said to himself, "The State of Song gives preferential treatment to civil servants. Yes, these laws are also formulated by civil servants. If the emperor is not strong, he will naturally come as he pleases."

Could it be that he spared Cai Jiu so lightly?With an old man like Cai Jing in the court, exile and dismissal are just jokes, not to mention that this court is unreasonable at all, except for murder, other punishments are meaningless.

Cao Cao's eyes rolled, and he was about to speak, when he heard someone screaming outside the hall: "My lords, if you really want to try Cai Jiu according to the law, you must mobilize the people to sue him first. This man has been in Jiangzhou for many years, and he has countless murders. , enough to cut him."

Cai Jiuyi fell down on one side when he heard his soul fly to the sky, and screamed wildly: "No, no, that villain is talking nonsense. He himself is a villain who has caused trouble in the country. Kings must not listen to his instigation."

Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Someone actually thought of a place with me? Unexpectedly, there are still great sages in this mere Jiangzhou. Hurry up and bring them to the hall to meet them."

There are different teachings: Jiangzhou Shuoshu is very round and fat, and there are strict rules and refuse to violate them.Since ancient times, it is difficult for a good person to defeat evil, and the wicked will beat the wicked.

　Chapter 54, Shenxing Taibao went to Liangshan.After thinking hard for many days, I felt that it was still not possible to forcefully explain the spell with so-called science, so I made adjustments in order to hope that the overall story would be smooth and reasonable.
