52. The Prisoner's Dilemma
Li? asked, and of course Zhao Wanyong wanted to answer, but he still pretended to be mysterious and asked Li?
Hong Jinglai has been a good brother with Xiao Zhao for many years. It is rare to see him look so mysterious. However, he is very interested and wants to see the ability of Zhao Wanyong, the Hanyang judge.
Both of them calmed down and took a closer look. Zhao Wanyong once again announced to the scholars and scholars who were locked in four official rooms. Once he was found to be the author and poster of the exposed post, he would be severely beaten for the crime of framing and slandering the current ruler.
One hundred, exiled to Jeju Island, will not be returned if pardoned.
This is a punishment that has been foreseen before. Those who dare to come to Hanyang Mansion to make noise have already been prepared. Isn't it just being exiled to Jeju Island to drink seaweed soup? It doesn't matter if I drink it for ten years. So no one asked to quit or anything else.
No matter what, he was still sitting in the official room waiting for Zhao Wanyong's examination.
Seeing how these people were not shedding tears even after seeing the coffin, Zhao Wanyong smiled slightly and did not bother these scholars. He just left them there and waited for a full twenty minutes. The spectators and even Li Jinglai and Hong Jinglai were watching.
When he was already a little bored, Zhao Wanyong waved his hand and a "scholar" was escorted out of the back hall. Under the push of the brave men of Hanyang, he was pushed down on a long bench and was beaten to a bloody pulp with a crackling board.
"People" also screamed again and again, and finally even screamed silently.
Everyone is really confused, where did this "scholar" come from, how did he get beaten into this batch, and what crime did he commit?
Only Hong Jing, who was very familiar with the allusions of "beat", "beat with heart" and "beat really", could understand that the so-called scholar who was beaten was not really injured by the board at all. He must have been covered with brown paper, and
Han Yang Zhuangyong, who was beating people, had all kinds of tricks on his hands. The sound of the crackling sound when he hit the person with the board was really scary. In fact, he didn't really use any force at all. This is a common little trick in yamen offices.
Many officials have made a fortune from it.
Looking at Zhao Wanyong who looked like he had the pearls of wisdom in his hand, Hong Jinglai quietly explained to Li He the secret of beating people, leaving Li He stunned for a moment.
In addition to the onlookers who saw this performance, the Confucian scholars who were locked in four official rooms with only a small window and could not see the other official rooms could also see clearly.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat, what kind of trouble was this!
Immediately, Zhao Wanyong ordered four veteran officials who had been handling cases for many years and had the most insight into people's hearts, and several brave men to open the doors of the four official rooms and announce to everyone in the room. Zhao Wanyong had caught the author of the post and was now beating him up.
One hundred, and after the beating is over, this bold maniac will be sent to Jeju and let him drink seaweed soup for the rest of his life.
Of course, Zhao Wanyong arranged the "scholar" in advance and sent someone to disguise himself. What he wanted was to pretend that someone had been arrested and was definitely the criminal. Taking advantage of the special conditions of a group of Confucian scholars being locked up in a completely isolated official room,
Give them a false message.
Now these scholars and Confucian scholars who have come to Hanyang Mansion to surrender, to put it bluntly, know that it is almost impossible for them to pass the exam, and they come here to fight for a chance to become famous. After all, passing the exam and criticizing the government can both make the world famous.
They are completely consistent in their need to promote their reputation.
It was obviously his own "big thing", but the opportunity to become famous was actually taken away by someone who didn't want to shut him up. You must know that the difference between the first person to jump out and scold Hong Jinglai and the second person to jump out to scold Hong Jinglai is huge.
Gone. People in the world often remember only the first person who rushed to the stage to curse, but they don't care about the second and third ones.
After all the hard work, I risked being the boss and was overtaken!
Who can swallow this breath? They must make a noise, make a noise, protest loudly, and seize back this world-famous spot and opportunity.
In a sense, this is the so-called "Prisoner's Dilemma", because being locked up in a small office room and unable to communicate with the outside world creates a certain degree of blindness. There must be more than one person writing and posting the announcement, and now one person
One person alone exalts his name, while others sink into the world and remain nameless. This tone must be unbearable.
Sure enough, after Li Yu and Hong Jinglai opened the door and announced that the prisoner had been captured, one scholar was extremely excited and protested loudly, while the others either sighed, had no expression on their faces, or were relieved, etc.
Zhao Wanyong directly ordered the most agitated scholar and another scholar, a Confucian scholar who was visibly angry, to be picked out. The other three official rooms were also guarded by shrewd old officials, and finally six people were picked out in total.
The remaining people did not let go for the time being, and rushed to the front of the hall to wait. The answer sheets that the six people had previously written and posted the addresses were also searched and compared with the dozens of seized posts posted in Hanyang.
right.
Of course, the six people who were singled out seemed to know each other. After watching the others being driven aside, the so-called scholar who was pushed down in front of the hall and beaten was also someone they were not familiar with at all. Only then did a few people realize that
This is really caught!
Naturally, Hanyang Mansion has experts who are familiar with handwriting comparison. They pulled out three answer sheets, which were very similar to the handwriting on the stickers posted on the streets of Hanyang. Zhao Wanyong observed the comparison carefully and felt that they were exactly the same. Don't underestimate Zhao Wanyong's calligraphy skills.
, he and his younger brother Zhao Yinyong’s epigraphic calligraphy skills were even praised by scholars from the Qing Dynasty next door. Didn’t we also mention that there is still a collection of Zhao Yinyong’s poems and manuscripts preserved in St. Petersburg, Russia.
And these people also wrote the most complete answers about the posting address. The most person wrote seventeen places, and the least person wrote nine places. It can be fully proved that they were indeed involved in the unveiling and posting.
"Qing Zhao is really experienced in judging criminal cases!" Li Wei sighed sincerely. Xiao Zhao peeled off the details little by little, talked about the evidence, used psychology, and moved back and forth skillfully. In the end, he did not find the criminal.
"Yes, if it were tried by a lower official, I'm afraid it would only be three pieces of wood and one piece." Hong Jing saw that Zhao Wanyong spent more than two hours to hear such a difficult case clearly, and he was really impressed in his heart.
In the courtroom, Zhao Wanyong was stunned, and Hanyang Zhuangyong on the left and right shouted in unison, which scared the six people in the hall to death. There is nothing more to say at this time, there is no need to hold another trial.
