The third year of Yonghui (652 AD), August 16th, at the hour of You.

In the major murder case of Wuzhou Sheng, the gang of ruffians was destroyed by Lin Pinglang. The murderer was extremely arrogant and committed a murder in broad daylight in front of the bad people. Among the corpses, in front of the short couch with the head, Wu Kang and the murderer were drinking happily, understanding the scam of "how much money to slander" and then peeling off the cocoon and expounding.

Lin Pinglang realized it later, not surprised that the scam was meticulous, but was surprised that Wu Kang was meticulous and smiled bitterly: "I lost the lawsuit, was sentenced to 60 sticks, sold tiger skin and tiger bones, and was also sentenced to a liar. I am not convinced by the verdict of joining the military in the judicial system!"

Wu Kang carefully recalled the "Rules of Thieves" and there were two treatments for underworld thieves: if theft was not successful, he would whip fifty whips; if he succeeded, he would be sentenced according to the amount of theft. Broken the stolen goods into silk cloth, enough to hit sixty sticks per foot, and enough to hit one hundred and twenty sticks per piece.

Five hundred pieces of silk seemed to be involved in the case. Lin Pinglang was really fierce. An ordinary person was 60 sticks and was bedridden for at least ten days and half a month. He was actually alive and destroyed the gangsters. He couldn't accept it!

Lin Pinglang continued: "Tiger skin and tiger bones, if it is mine, I will just admit that I am unlucky. But that is everyone's. I can't explain it when I go back. Even if I tell the truth, it will be difficult for the villagers to believe that I want to take it alone. So after being sentenced, I followed them here..."

The chaotic footsteps in the alley interrupted his words, and then yelled: The bad guards arrested fugitives, the idle people avoided them, and all dodged... The door was kicked open, and the bad people rushed in, surrounded the short couch and the knife was unsheathed, and the scene suddenly became murderous.

Wu Kang's heart was finally put in his stomach, and all thirty subordinates... No, Zhou Hao, who was still missing to inform him. That little bastard, won't he really go to my house, so tell Wu Yuan to buy a tiger cub?

He was so amused and laughed at Lin Pinglang who was unafraid, turned his head and winked at Jiu Niang, and signaled her to retreat outside the circle. But this little aunt was not a good-looking lamp! He used the same trick again and pouted and turned his head away. He was so angry that he wanted to curse his mother.

Reluctantly turning her head, she interrupted again: "Lin Dalang, you were wronged, why don't you appeal? If you appeal, yes... Cui Gong retried. Cui Gong is Qingtian, Wuzhou, and is selfless and upright, and will definitely wash away your grievances!"

Lin Pinglang sighed helplessly and said, "I am just a hunter in the mountains, how can I understand these? It's so futile to say these things!"

Wu Kang's mouth twitched straight, probably in her heart, the old fox was the most honest official in the world. However, he developed a strong interest in "appeal". The Tang Dynasty also had an intermediate level. Is the High Court? Thinking of this, he turned his head and asked her: "Can Tang Lu appeal?"

"Of course there is," Cui Jiu opened his mouth again: "If the victim or the lawsuit is dissatisfied with the county magistrate's judgment, he can go to the state where he belongs to appeal within one month, and the judicial officer will join the army for retrial. If the appeal is made again, the state governor will retrial. If the governor makes the final judgment, if he is still not satisfied, he can only go to Chang'an to file a lawsuit!"

Wu Kang couldn't help but curl his lips, let's forget it. Li Jiu was busy mixing oil with Wu Zhaoyi, so how could he have time to pay attention to you? He looked at Lin Pinglang again and thought for a moment and said, "You are here, and you didn't do it right away, but asked about the situation of the gangster, otherwise you wouldn't know that the fish that missed the net!"

"Mr. Wu Shuai guessed right. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles," Lin Pinglang looked at him and said, "I suddenly realized that they were in the same group after entering the yard. I wanted to please Tiger Skin, but they did it. I accidentally killed one, and they slashed me with a knife. At that time, I was angry and killed one person would pay for one life, and killing a hundred people would pay for one life!"

Wu Kang sighed secretly, and was about to speak, but Cui Jiu stole the first one: "Lin Dalang's words are wrong. The first person is to kill by mistake, and the rest is to kill by fighting. "Yonghui Rule" says that killing by accident and killing by mistake, reduce the crime of murder, and flow for three thousand miles. If you go to yourself, reduce the crime of crime, and flow for two thousand five hundred miles. You... shouldn't have killed the gangster just now!"

Wu Kang's face turned black, but Cui Jiu ignored him and continued: "The gangster was tied up with his hands and had no strength to fight back. He was killed for the sake of 'being killed'. He was sentenced to murder and was sentenced to death in the death row."

Before Lin Pinglang could speak, Wu Kang lowered his voice and begged her: "Jiu Niang...Stop making trouble? This is a major murderer case, not a child playing house, what are you talking about? You are so capable, why don't you be a lawyer? Stay honestly for me, shut up...Oh!"

The back of the neck was pinched and the faces of his subordinates were strange... Wu Kang turned his head awkwardly and looked at Lin Pinglang and said, "You are brave and resourceful. I will use the name of buying tiger cubs to let your subordinates move. I believe you have already discovered it. With your skills, it is easy to escape. But did you choose to stay to kill the weeds?"

Lin Pinglang replied: "Wu Shuai is right. I have asked the neighbors for inquiries. There are nineteen people in this group of mixed fish. At that time, I decided to kill the roots. Only by killing them all will the family not be retaliated!"

Wu Kang continued to ask: "If you didn't meet us, and you killed the fish that broke the net without knowing it, what will happen next? Flee for fear of sin, or surrender?"

Lin Pinglang drank the wine in the bowl and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Feither fearful of sin? No! A man is a real man, born between heaven and earth, and you must be aware of it if you dare to do it! I don't want to hide my head and tail for the rest of my life, nor do I want my family to worry about it, and I feel anxious and peaceful!"

It was Wu Kang's turn to be surprised. After a few minutes, he came back to his senses. He picked up the wine jar and filled the bowl. Lin Pinglang drank it all, shouted twice, patted his chest and said, "Surrendering? It doesn't exist! I would rather die than be bullied by the jailer, nor do I want my family to borrow money and feed the jailer for me!"

Lin Pinglang looked around the bad guy and stared at Wu Kang and smiled: "It seems that Wu Shuai's home is far away from here. The subordinates you sent out will go to the yamen to move troops first, and then go to your house to report the news. I guess your family has already gone to buy tiger cubs. My mother, I have ten characters, so I can also feel at ease to go on the road!"

Speaking of this, I suddenly got up, my toes flew up with my knife, and the blade was placed on my neck.

Wu Kang shouted in a hurry: "Brother, let's be slow, death cannot solve the problem, I have a way to help you!"

As the saying goes, even ants are greedy for life, Lin Pinglang stopped and looked at him indifferently.

Wu Kang breathed a sigh of relief. He became loving talent. Lin Pinglang was brave and resourceful. If he was placed on the battlefield, he could be brave enough to be the three armies and to dispatch soldiers. Next year, Chen Shuozhen rebelled and led his troops south to attack Wuzhou, and Wuzhou was the main battlefield.

It is easy to get a general, but it would be a pity if he wiped his neck. Just now, he was wise and thought of a way to help him get rid of his sins. He brewed his emotions and organized his language. He was about to make a long statement, but Cui Jiu was not willing to be lonely again!

His tone was very stern: "Erlang should not be nonsense. He killed too many people and would definitely be punished in the autumn. What's more, he committed a crime in front of the bad guys, and the crime was completely exposed, which was not in line with the self-immunization of sentence. This is a foregone conclusion and no one can turn it over. I don't allow you to be favoritism and abuse the law. Yes, I won't agree!"

Wu Kang's scalp was numb, and he thought we were just dating, and he didn't even have a single word of the horoscope, so he was in charge? But she said it right, and it was generally impossible to make a mistake, but I was not aimless. Understanding history as a killer weapon came in handy at critical moments.

The sound of footsteps came from the alley again. Zhou Hao appeared at the gate, sweating and panting. Without saying a word, he showed his sword and joined the encirclement. This kid was so embarrassed that he must have gone to Nancheng District and informed Wu Yuan to buy the tiger cub.

Too lazy to talk nonsense to him, he looked at Lin Pinglang and thought about it, "You are an open man, and I am a handsome man with a heart of love for talents. Today is the fifth day of the seventh month, and the late autumn question is the sixteenth day of August, and there are still forty days. Don't give up easily, there will be a glimmer of life."

There was a pain in the left waist, and it was pinched again. Wu Kang's lips twitched and he continued, "I will say hello to the prison guards, so that they will not make things difficult for you, nor will they blackmail your family. Lin Pinglang, for yourself, it is not much different if you break yourself or ask for a death sentence in the autumn. But for your family, if you live one more day, they will be less desperate... These forty days will be for them!"

Lin Pinglang frowned, his eyes were a little tangled, and his expression was a little loose. Wu Kang struck while the iron was hot: "If you think I was talking nonsense, just break it yourself; if you think it makes sense, throw away the knife in your hand and sue me!"

After about five minutes of silence, Lin Pinglang sighed, and the long sword fell to the ground in a clang, closing his eyes in pain.

Wu Kang took a reassurance pill and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Where is the responsibility of a bad person, please forgive me. Now I will arrest you, please ask me to cooperate... Don't make it difficult for me to do it!"

Lin Pinglang didn't open his eyes and nodded slightly.

Wu Kang waved his hand, Jiang Daniu, Xu Sanjiao came to the circle and ordered him to lie on the ground according to the procedures, first tied his hands on his back, and then tied them up in various ways. Zhou Hao took out the linen cloth and wrapped the important physical evidence blood knife.

The overall situation has been decided, and Wu Kang began to arrange errands: "Qian Shun, Tong Lin, you block the door. Without my order, anyone is prohibited from stepping into the scene. Erniu, Zhao Qing, Sanjiao, visit nearby neighbors, confirm the identity of the deceased, and notify the family to collect the body. You must take it away within two days. If you don't get it in two days, you will be cremated on the spot!"

After thinking for a while, he continued to make orders: "Siucai, Wen Ruo, leave the investigation site and record the fatal wounds of each corpse. Before noon tomorrow, report the autopsy to me; Zhou Hao handed over the physical evidence to Sanjiao, and set off for Tianzhuangtai immediately to inform Lin Pinglang's family. The big ox is temporarily left, and the rest return to the bad guard..."

After thinking for a while, he made sure there were no omissions, and straightened his body and said solemnly: "You are guarding day and night. The suspect is not allowed to have any mistakes during his bad guard! I reiterated again that this is a major case, so I will be careful. If there is any mistake, don't ask me to go through the bed and leave... Let's take action!"

The subordinates agreed in unison, and there were five people left in the yard. The scholar, Wen Ruo, had a bitter face, looked eager to cry; Jiang Daniu winked and gloated on his face; Wu Kang was helpless, and the Tang Dynasty did not commit coroners, and the body was checked to the untouchables and slaves.

The scholar and the Wei Er of the Wei Er who can write, will naturally catch them as strong men. Of course, both of them have extra bonuses every month, rewarding ten cents of copper coins, which are paid out from the funds for the activities of the Wei Er.

He kicked the big bull on the butt and scolded with a stern face: "She is smiling, do you want to try it too? You kid... go to the judicial office and inform the prison minister of the prison that he will invite him to drink at the Huamanlou Tian box two minutes tomorrow afternoon."

Jiang Daniu was still smiling and said with a smile: "What is he? He is not worthy of eating Wushuai's wine! In this acre of three-point land in Wuzhou, except for Mr. Cui, the director of the army and the six major military officers, who dares to refute us to face? I will give you instructions. If he dares to neglect, he will hang up and use a whip to slap him!"

"Okay, okay, don't be poor," Wu Kang glared at him and pondered for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't invite you! You go to the bad guard first, get two hundred documents from the fund, and send it to the prison minister. It's too urgent to go out today and don't bring any money. I'll make up for it tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go now." Jiang Daniu made faces at the two of them again and went out happily.

Wu Kang looked at the scholar, Wen Ruo, sighed helplessly, turned around and said to Cui Jiuniang, "It's getting late, I'll send you back. It's too late. Guild Cui is worried!"

On the way back to Cui Mansion, Cui Jiu was depressed and still had his face tense no matter what jokes he told. In this situation, he had to tell the truth. Wu Kang smiled and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Jiu Niang, I have always been abide by the law, and I will not do evil deeds, nor will I betray the law for personal gain... Okay, come here, let me tell you how to help Lin Pinglang get rid of his crime!"

Cui Jiu finally reacted, his face raised was full of disbelief. Wu Kang laughed and bent down to her ear. The single dog made a fuss again, obviously forgot that this was the Tang Dynasty, and Cui Jiu blushed in an instant.

However, during a few breaths, the blush turned into flush, and the pair of deer eyes became brighter and brighter. Finally, he nodded repeatedly, imitated his appearance, and gave a thumbs up and praised: "This idea is so good. No one can find fault with such a way to escape from crime! Lin Pinglang is lucky, and those scammers are rampant in the countryside, so they deserve their luck!"

Wu Kang smiled without saying a word, and then fell into deep thought after a moment. In this era, it is much more difficult for ordinary people to sue than in later generations. There are only two ways. The first is to find bad people as an agent, and the government will accept it; the second is to write a paper, if there is no paper, the government will not accept it at all.

Most ordinary people were illiterate and could only ask someone to write for them. In this case, litigants were born. They helped others write suspicions and sued, which was equivalent to lawyers in later generations. In fact, the lawyer industry has a long history. The ancestor was named Deng Xi, a native of Zheng in the Spring and Autumn Period, a famous thinker, legal scholar, and an enlightener of civil rights and law.

The pain in my waist interrupted my thoughts. Looking at the angry Jiu Niang, I looked at the gate of the Cui Mansion in front of me, and I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. I was distracted when I was about to say a few good things, but suddenly I became flirted with bad taste. He said twice: "Jiu Niang has mastered his knowledge of law and cannot be secretly devoted. It is better to open a law firm to provide legal aid to the people."

"Lawyer? Firm?" Jiu Niang blinked her confused deer eyes and asked in a minute: "Erlang is talking about the lawyer, the firm... does the shop mean? Do you want me to show up in public and open a shopkeeper?"

"Why not? Women can hold half the sky," Wu Kang spread his hands and laughed: "Take Lin Pinglang as an example, he doesn't know that lawsuits can be appealed. If you have a law firm, he happens to go to the store to consult. With Jiu Niang's ability, he will definitely help him clear up the grievances. Then this bad murder case may not have been born!"

Jiu Niang smiled and nodded excitedly, but soon became sad again and said with a bitter face: "Litigants, like bad people, will be discriminated against. Even "Yonghui Law" has terms to punish lawyers. A woman runs a store or a lawyer's store, Yeah, will not agree!"

"If Mr. Cui disagreed, we will cry, make a fuss and hang himself. If he doesn't believe it, he will not compromise." Wu Kang smiled wickedly and then reasoned: "The lawyer is much better than the bad guys. The lawyer is a lower-class scholar, and only the upper-class scholars discriminate against them. But the most important thing is that they can be respected by the people. The scholars despise and respected by the people. Which one is more important is obvious at a glance!"

Wu Kang impulsively led military advisor and continued to give advice: "Jiu Niang runs a law firm. As the president... the shopkeeper, of course, he doesn't have to take care of everything himself. He gathers up some lawyers and provides guidance to them. If it is a big case, Jiu Niang will take action himself!"

Cui Jiuniang glanced at him and said angrily: "Crying, making a fuss, and hanging, that's a shrew's trick. Yeah, love me so much, he will agree with reason. Erlang's words make sense. For example, whether the lower-class scholars are lawyers or the upper-class scholars will discriminate against them. Hehe... I want to pull my fifth brother into the water and let him be a pawn and Yeahti!"

Wu Kang laughed and continued to draw cakes: "The first law firm in the Tang Dynasty is absolutely unprecedented and may be famous in history. Even more than a thousand years later, the lawyer will enshrine you as the ancestor... the grandmother of the ancestor. Then, Deng Xi will be replaced and become the founder of lawyers!"

"Stop cursing me, Deng Xi has never had a good end. Besides, I can't compare to others." Jiu Niang finally had a smile. She looked at the maid who was lying in the door and said to Wu Kang: "Law firm, I will ask Yeye to agree. It's getting dark, you go back, be careful on the way!"

Wu Kang smiled and nodded, watching her disappear at the corner gate, waited for the corner gate to close and turned back home.

When I returned to my bedroom, I sat in front of the desk, and took a quill to write a diary: In the third year of Yonghui (652 AD), on August 16, a major murder case in Wuzhou was a general. Lin Pinglang was a general, and I wanted to save him, and Jiuniang agreed.

Today is the fifth day of the seventh lunar month, just three days ago, Li Jiu made Li Zhong the crown prince. He was a tragedy, and his only benefit was to bring a general amnesty to the world. The so-called general amnesty to the world is to clear the prison of the Tang Dynasty. Except for the "Ten Evils" that are unpardoned, all the crimes committed by all prisoners will be spared.

The documents should have left Chang'an City, but unfortunately there is no telephone number, so they can only be transmitted through the post station. Documents are divided into priorities, which is the so-called three hundred taels, eight hundred miles of expedited, etc. It is impossible to have eight hundred miles of miles. During the Anshi Rebellion, the transmission rate was only five hundred miles.

Wuzhou is more than 16 kilometers away from Chang'an, with the lowest point of the inn, 100 miles a day. According to this calculation, it takes at least 32 days to arrive in Wuzhou. After the autumn, there are still 4 days left on the 16th day of the eighth day of the lunar calendar.

If it is not surprising, the document arrived before the execution, and Lin Pinglang escaped. If there is really an accident, he can only blame him for being unlucky.

Linsang, may Buddha, Laojun, Allah, Jesus, Virgin Mary be with you, Amen...
