After hearing the complaint from his disciples, Mr. Liang was naturally furious. It was not that Tang Fan humiliated Yin Yuanhua, but that Tang Fanming knew that Yin Yuanhua was his student and dared to do this, so he clearly did not take him seriously.

Nowadays, the face is greater than the sky. Tang Fan, a small doctor, came to the Ministry of Justice on the first day. He didn't even stand firmly and dared to provoke senior officials in the department. Is this a brainless person or a brave man?

But with the status of Liang Shilang, it would be a good idea to call Tang Fan over and scold him. Moreover, this matter was actually because Yin Yuanhua did not respect his superiors and had mistakes first. If it was really a big deal, it would not be beneficial to Yin Yuanhua, so Liang Shilang did nothing at that time.

After two days, the department will inspect the work completed by each department in the first half of the year, so it will call the doctors of each department to ask questions and encourage them to continue their efforts in the second half of the year and strive to do better. In short, it is just a face-to-face conversation. You can also take the opportunity to talk to the leader and mention it. If the leader is in a good mood, maybe you will solve it.

As a result, twelve of the thirteen Qing officials and officials went there, but Tang Fan was not called.

If the superiors consider that Tang Fan had just arrived and did not know the officials, he should have called him a lord to go there, but there was nothing, and the Henan Qing Lisi seemed to have been completely forgotten.

No one is a fool. Now everyone knows that Tang Fan must have offended Mr. Liang and will not be welcomed.

There are three leaders in the Ministry of Justice, one is the Minister of State and two ministers.

Now that Zhang Shangshu is not in charge of affairs, Mr. Peng is also a verbal worm, only Mr. Liang is in charge of most of the actual affairs in the department, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he can cover up the sky with one hand.

As a result, everyone hurriedly drew a clear line with Tang Fan, for fear of being implicated. Even Lu Tongguang, who had previously released goodwill to Tang Fan, used the excuse to avoid seeing him when Tang Fan came to the door.

It was natural for everyone to push it down. Now that Tang Fan was evil, Mr. Liang, and I don’t know when he would be kicked out of the Ministry of Justice. Others didn’t say that they were afraid of him, and it would be nice not to take any harm if they didn’t take any harm.

"Did you see that Yin Yuanwailang is so proud now. This Tang Dynasty doctor will not be driven away soon. Then will Yin Yuanwailang be promoted to the doctor?"

In the duty room, three drivers sat around, and Dai Hongming, the headmaster, seemed a little inconsistent.

But there was no way. As they were about to become a forgotten weed, everyone was panicked and quickly exchanged information together to give themselves some psychological comfort.

Yin Yuanhua is not very popular. Except for a clerk who firmly hugged Yin Yuanhua's thighs, no one liked him. But whether he liked him or not was thinking about it. If he had a status like theirs, he could not be opposed to Yin Yuanhua. He was a serious Jinshi from the second-ranked Jinshi, and he was protected by his direct superior, Shi Lang Liang and Teacher. His official career must be smoother than them.

I thought that Tang Fan could suppress Yin Yuanhua's arrogance and their lives would be a little easier. Who knew that in just two days, Tang Fan offended Liang Shilang, and even their Henan Qing Lisi was excluded.

"I think so!"

Cheng Wen sighed repeatedly. He was an old officer. Now he has been in the Qing Lishu Department of Henan for more than ten years and has been in Henan for several doctors. He has long since been promoted. He just wanted to live a stable life. Previously, Doctor Zhou died of illness before Tang Fan came, the official officer was temporarily replaced by Yin Yuanhua, but he flattered the superiors and always held airs to his subordinates. He even hurriedly took him to the superiors as his father. He treated Mr. Liang as his father to serve him. No wonder Mr. Liang liked him, but the people below did not like him. Therefore, Dai Hongming and the other three officers did not want Yin Yuanhua to be the doctor, but unfortunately they did not want him to say so.

"Dr. Tang was too young after all, and he couldn't help but teach Yin Yuanhua a lesson. He was so happy, but he didn't think about the future?"

Another officer curled his lips and didn't like Tang Fan very much: "I heard that Lord Tang was born as a Shujishi. Hanlin masters like them all have their eyes on their heads, and they are very expensive. How could they know the severity of the matter!"

Dai Hongming was worried: "Okay, don't worry about others, think about ourselves first! Today, Lord Tang told me that in a few days of dinner, he agreed to Dr. Lu that he would invite me to go to each department to inform me. As a result, I walked around, but no one paid attention to me. Either I said that I couldn't leave my business, or that I could not attend the banquet if there was a funeral at home. What's this called? It's clear that I don't take Lord Tang seriously! Tell me, what should I do?"

The other three officers sighed with him: "What can I do? Just tell the truth to Doctor Tang. We can't force them to go there!"

"Where are you going?" A voice came from the door.

Everyone turned around and said that Cao Cao was here. Tang Fan walked in with his hands behind his back and smiled.

"I'm really abandoned. What's the good thing? Let me talk to you?"

Everyone laughed dryly, looking embarrassed.

The officers hurriedly sued and left, Tang Fan nodded with a smile, but did not stop him.

Dai Hongming was left, and this was his duty room. Of course he couldn't withdraw, so he could only smile: "Sir, how could he come here in person? If you give me some instructions, then go over and obey your orders!"

Tang Fan smiled and said, "I asked you to send a post to invite all doctors to have dinner. How did you do it?"

Dai Hongming's smile suddenly collapsed: "Sir, it's not that the officials are not good at doing things. All the officials are busy with their work, so they can't even get rid of their bodies..."

Tang Fan's smile remained unchanged: "It's not that I can't pull myself away, but that I'm afraid of offending Mr. Liang, and I think I'm going to be kicked out of the Ministry of Justice soon. It's useless to have sex with me?"

"Look at what you said, how could that happen?" Dai Hongming laughed and said to himself that you know everything, but he still asked me what I am doing?

Tang Fan said: "I understand this. Just pass the message on it. Whether they go or not is their business, it is not your business. Then you can call Liang Wen and the other three and you will go there."

Dai Hongming said: "This is inappropriate. Only doctors from various departments can attend this. The status of the lower officials and others is not enough..."

Tang Fan waved his hand and interrupted him: "You don't have to worry about this. I'm going to be the boss, so of course I'll take charge of it. In any case, you will go there with them. Five days later, when the yamen and Lingyun Hall of Xianyun Pavilion are released, I have already booked a seat."

Dai Hongming was shocked. Xianyun Pavilion is one of the best restaurants in the capital. Who doesn’t know that it is the same owner as Xianke Tower, and it takes different routes. The former is more upscale than Xianke Tower. I heard that the environment is so elegant and quiet that it is not allowed to enter even if the nobles and nobles want to book a seat. Even if the Minister Liang wants to book a seat, he may not be able to book it. A small official like Dai Hongming is only known for his reputation.

Now Tang Fan can book a seat in Xianyun Pavilion. What does this mean? It means that the people's travels are wider than those of Minister Liang!

Dai Hongming suddenly thought again that he heard that Lord Tang had been promoted to the Sixth Ministry less than two years after being a prosecutor in Shuntian Prefecture, and was promoted to one and a half levels. It was obvious that there were people above him. Otherwise, there would have been more officials in the world, and they would not have been promoted so quickly!

He began to have a lot of thoughts. In just a moment, he didn't know how many thoughts that were in his mind, and his mind became alive.

Dai Hongming thought, originally thought that this Doctor Tang was a stupid and bold person, but now it seems that he is not a naughty person at all, but is fearless!

Although it is still unknown whether it is the strongest crossing the river or the strong local snake in the end, if I can take the opportunity to burn the cold stove, there may be good things in the future.

Thinking of this, Dai Hongming's attitude was not as negative as before. He quickly responded and offered to advise: "Sir, most people in the world change their minds. Now they are worried that Minister Liang will not dare to show kindness to you. Even if you invite them to dinner, they may not dare to go, but they will delay it later?"

Tang Fan smiled when he heard this. Dai Hongming was really an interesting character.

He was a newcomer and really needed his own staff, so he took advantage of the opportunity of having sex with Yin Yuanhua and observing for a few days and found that Dai Hongming was not bad. Although he had his own little thoughts, because he was not in the same way as Yin Yuanhua, he hoped that Tang Fan could become strong so that he could have a backer.

Dai Hongming didn't dare to speak before, because he felt that Tang Fan had little chance of winning against Yin Yuanhua. Now, when he saw the dawn, he naturally had to come and surrender first to avoid being alienated by his new boss.

Tang Fan also worked from grassroots departments like Shuntian Prefecture, so the opponents' thoughts are naturally clear.

"No need to say more. After two days, I will call Liang Wen, Tian Xuan and Yin Wen." Tang Fan said.

There are four officers in our department who all help the three Shangguans. Except for one Liao Zijin who rushed to hug Yin Yuanhua's thigh, the other three were waiting and watching. Anyway, for them, no matter who becomes a doctor, they are just doing odd jobs and will not change much.

Of course, they are all in the corps, who are a little transcendent who have been neglected for many years. Even if they want to hold on, Yin Yuanhua may not be able to look down on them, so the three of them gathered with Dai Hongming and sighed.

Tang Fan pointed out the names of these three people, which was equivalent to excluding the remaining Liao Zijin. Dai Hongming thought that this new boss had made up his mind to fight Yin Yuanhua to the end, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Seeing that he agreed carefully, Tang Fan patted his shoulder, said a few words of encouragement, and asked him to find some files according to his requirements and send them to his own room. Then Shi Shiran left.

The Ministry of Justice is not big at all. Although the doctor is the chief official of the department, he is incomparable to the ministers and ministers. The duty room is about the same size as the official who was the former Tang Fan.

Walking into his new duty room, the flowers and plants that were almost withered a few days ago have begun to rejuvenate because of their careful care. Tang Fan moved two pots of orchids from his home. The slender leaves are as tender and cute as jade. The pink buds that grow from the middle are already blooming because of the warmth of the house. A trace of scent of existence and non-existence has ethereal fragrance, which makes the room feel refreshing and elegant fragrance, making everyone who step into this place can't help but take a deep breath.

It is the middle of the year and I should be busy. I have already been busy at the beginning of the year. However, when Tang Fan came here, he naturally did not just give a salary and did not work. He had always had a heart of worry in his mind. He was in Shuntian Prefecture before, but because of the limitations of the pattern, he had to take advantage of the convenience of the Sixth Ministry to do something within his ability.

After a while, Dai Hongming came over with a bunch of files. Tang Fan buried his desk without raising his head, so he asked him to put it down and remove it. Dai Hongming saw the half-cold teacup on Tang Fan's table, and did not disturb him, and turned around and left quietly.

After a moment, the driver Cheng Wen brought the hot tea over.

He had already learned from Dai Hongming that Tang Fan was going to treat him at Xianyun Pavilion and asked them to accompany him. His smile was even more attentive than usual. He was helpless and the doctor was busy looking through the file. He didn't even look up to see who was the person who served him tea, but he just muttered from his throat.

Member Cheng had no choice but to leave in a loss.

Tang Fan is indeed doing something very important.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the "Da Ming Law" was formulated with reference to the "Tang Law" and "Yuan Dianzhang". Since then, the Ming officials have used this as the basis for judging cases and judging prisons. However, the times have changed. More than a hundred years have passed, and many of the original laws and regulations are not applicable to the present, and there are also many specific implementation details that are not standardized. Officials cannot find a basis in the "Da Ming Law", so they start to judge according to their own code of conduct.

In the Ming Dynasty, if you want to be an official, you rely on the imperial examinations and the eight-part essays in the imperial examinations, but you don’t take the "Ming Law". Some officials were transferred from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Justice, or they were the censors who were responsible for supervising all officials, but after being transferred, they became prisoners for the case-based judgments, let alone those who read the "Ming Law".

If the central government is like this, let alone the local government.

Before Tang Fan took office, a very famous case occurred in Zhejiang.

A and B had a conflict, and the two fought and were beaten to death by B.

Minglu stipulates that if your grandparents and parents are killed and their descendants avenge them on the spot, killing is innocent. If you kill again later, you will be 60 scepter.

If the enemy has been tried because the amnesty has not been executed, if the descendants still go to revenge and kill people at this time, they will be slaughtered 100 times and exiled for three thousand miles.

At this time, A's son did not kill anyone on the spot. He reached an agreement with B in private: B compensated him for the land, and then claimed that his father died in an accident, and then applied to the government for no autopsy, even if it was settled privately.

Because the deceased was the most important thing at that time, autopsy would damage the body, and many people were unwilling to do this, so the government would not insist on receiving such an application, and everything was subject to the wishes of the family members of the parties involved.

This is not legal, but it is not illegal. It is nothing more than taking advantage of the law.

If things end here, it will pass, and A's son will be denounced as unfilial and unable to raise his head in the countryside.

But of course things didn't end like this.

B compensates the land of A's family and receives a lot of rent every year. A's son rents the land for several years, and then gets married and has a child. When the child reaches three years old, he takes a knife and stabs B to death, saying that he has completed the task of inheriting the family line and can avenge his father.

Okay, the problem is here. The law has long stipulated that if parents are killed, it would be unlawful for children and grandchildren to kill the other party on the spot. However, A did not kill him at that time, nor did he let the government make a judgment. Instead, he settled his case with B and concealed it. This means that the case has come to an end. Three years later, he killed B again. According to regulations, he would be at least 100 sticks and exiled for three thousand miles.

The case was very sensational at the time and even caused a stir in the Ministry of Justice. The officials who sentenced the case mainly had two opinions:

One opinion is to strictly follow the law. A's son refuses to take the autopsy and conceals the official family and does not report it. It is undoubtedly despising and playing with the government. This behavior must be severely punished.

Another opinion is that A's son gave birth to a son in order to pass on the family line, which was a manifestation of filial piety and should be treated leniently and could reduce the crime.

The two opinions were stalemate, and Dali Temple and the Censorate also joined the debate. In the end, the cabinet gave an instruction: A's son is pitiful, but his crime is also abominable, so he broke the two and was given a hundred sticks and was exempted from exile.

In Tang Fan's view, this case is a typical manifestation of using filial piety to cover up one's own despicableness and taking advantage of legal loopholes.

Because according to regulations, if A's son killed B immediately after his father was killed, he would have been exempted from guilt, but he did not do that. Instead, he used B's money to enjoy it for several years, then married his wife and gave birth to a child, and then ran to stab B to death, saying that he was avenging his father.

The Ministry of Justice and the Cabinet also understood this truth. It was just that Jia's son used filial piety as amulet, and in the Ming Dynasty, they ruled the world with filial piety. If they were severely punished, it would be inconsistent with the education at that time. Therefore, the court finally chose to make a relatively balanced choice between law and reason.

But this also directly gave A's son a discount.

His family was poor, and he relied on the land compensated by B to improve his family's family. Now the servants don't have to die, his wife and children are complete, his family is rich, and he has a good reputation for filial piety. He can wash away his previous stigma, which is a killer.

This reflects some of the problems that exist today.

In the current law, there are no regulations that are regulated so carefully, many people have the opportunity to take advantage of loopholes. There are definitely many cases like Jia's son. If the government had forced an autopsy at that time, then all of those things would not have happened afterwards.

Not only Tang Fan realized this problem, but many people also realized it.

Former Minister of Justice Lin Cong, Dong Fang and others clearly proposed to revise the "Da Ming Law" in order to adapt to the growing demand for judgment.

However, the "Ming Dynasty Law" was decided by the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty, and it was not something that could be changed just by wanting it. After the Tai and Zu, many ministers proposed to modify it. However, every time someone proposed it, a large number of censors would jump out to impeach him in the name of violating the ancestor's family laws. Over time, the "Ming Dynasty Law" was still the same "Ming Dynasty Law". Many officials failed to find a basis during the judgment process and could only judge according to their common sense, which led to many unjust and wrong cases.

Tang Fan also felt that the "Da Ming Law" must be revised, but it cannot be modified directly on top of it. Countless seniors have proved to him that this does not work and will be scolded very badly. However, if you do not move the "Da Ming Law" and choose to add some additional criminal regulations, there will be no problem.
