Chapter 113: Duke Wei's Judgment Case
My father-in-law had to be surprised that since he was a eunuch, he had been strict with himself and never did anything that was corrupt, abused and bullied men and women. He loved the people even more intimately, and always had acquaintance with the people. He also regarded the two purposes of "serving the emperor" and "serving the people" as the basic principles of his work. It is no exaggeration to say that if the palace is to evaluate a model eunuch, his eunuch Wei would definitely be elected with a high vote.
However, now, a woman was blatantly cursing him on the street, asking God to thunder and kill him. This surprised Eunuch Wei and felt very aggrieved. In order to find out what was going on, he immediately ordered the sedan chair to stop. Then he ordered Qi Xiangfang, a trial household in the East Factory, to take people to see what happened.
At the same time, the guards' yamen staff saw the woman disturbing Eunuch Wei and hurriedly sent people to deal with it. Qi Xiangfang later reported that it was a woman named Zhang from Sitang Town who was scolding people on the street. He had arrested and transferred the person to the guards' yamen for handling.
Since Suzhou Prefecture has been removed from its jurisdiction and has been affiliated with the Maritime Special Zone, the civil affairs in the territory are now under the responsibility of the garrison. This civil affairs include criminal law and other matters.
However, this is an exception. Other local officials do not care about civil affairs, criminal laws, etc. For example, the eunuch in Nanjing (Inner Garrison Office) does not involve the affairs of the Ministry of Justice in Nanjing, and the central officials in Datong do not care about the affairs of the prefect of Datong.
All the people in Wusong are under the responsibility of the garrison. The biggest reason is that the existence of the Emperor Ming Dynasty's personal army ordered the Governor Yingtian to be the governor, and the prefect of Suzhou could not interfere in the affairs of the special zone.
This is also the "independence" that Eunuch Wei hopes. Only when the Special Zone is independent of the old system can it play a greater role. Of course, since the Special Zone seeks "independence", then the military and civil affairs ward yamen under the rule should be inherited.
The criminal law in the Special Administrative Region is responsible for the inspection by the jailing yamen. This person was originally Feng Yu from the Zhidian Supervisor, who was in charge of the document entry of the criminal law in the prison. When he arrived at the Special Administrative Region, he was a half-professional counterpart. In addition to the Wanhe, the two yamen were really unable to find a second person who was proficient in criminal affairs. In terms of talent, Eunuch Wei was still in short supply.
"Catch people?"
Eunuch Wei felt a little strange about this, "Why do you want to arrest people? Beating people and scolding people is common among the people, and it is mostly caused by unfairness. The woman scolded our family in the street, and it must be a reason. Let's ask you to go and see, and ask you to ask the woman why she scolded us, but she didn't ask you to arrest people."
Only then did Qi Xiangfang realize that he would have misunderstood Eunuch Wei's meaning and did the wrong thing, so he hurriedly said, "I'll let the person go now."
"Of course I have to let it go, but how can I catch a few words of cursing people? There is no way that our Daming Law does not allow people to curse people."
Eunuch Wei nodded and ordered Qi Xiangfang to say, "This way, you bring that woman to our house, our family must ask her. This is a good thing that God wants to kill our house by thunder. How much hatred does she have for our family?"
Regarding conflicts among the people, Eunuch Wei has always advocated resolving conflicts with a practical attitude of solving problems. For conflicts among the people, Eunuch Wei insisted on solving problems by solving people. If people are gone, there will naturally be no problems.
"Yes, factory!"
Unlike others' titles to Eunuch Wei, Qi Xiangfang always referred to Eunuch Wei as the position of eunuch in Dongchang in Beijing. He went to bring people now, and soon brought the woman named Zhang over.
The woman surnamed Zhang looked at her for about 40 years and her hair was fluffy, as if she hadn't washed her for many days, and her clothes were even dirty. If she looked at her, she would think she was a beggar from somewhere.
"Sister-in-law, come here, come here, we are the eunuch you scolded, but you don't have to be afraid, come to our house and tell me why you scold our house."
Eunuch Wei was very kind. He never showed off his father-in-law's prose in front of the people and shook the eunuch's fortune. However, the woman surnamed Zhang was obviously frightened by the Dongchang man. At this moment, the person was still in horror and his body was trembling slightly. How dare he go forward and talk to the dog eunuch she had just scolded?
Eunuch Wei felt unbearable when he saw this, but he was not in a position to scold Qi Xiangfang and others. He looked at the woman named Zhang carefully and saw that her face was very thin and even more sick. Thinking of what she had scolded before, he felt a little clear in his heart, so he stepped forward and ordered his left and right to bring a stool.
"Sister-in-law really doesn't have to be afraid. Our family is not a man-eating beast. Things in the world will definitely be fruitful. If you scold us in the street, I think we must have done something wrong. But if you don't say it out, we will really not know what's wrong for a while. In that case, no matter how much grievance or a huge injustice you have, we will not be able to repay you justice."
While speaking, Eunuch Wei actually reached out to help the woman named Zhang sit on the stool. This made the ward guards who came to hear the news look worried, while the people watching from afar were a little excited when they saw it.
The woman surnamed Zhang was still in fear and confusion, but after hearing what Eunuch Wei said, she woke up suddenly. She stared at the young man in front of her and sat on the stool tremblingly. She felt instinctively that Eunuch Wei was afraid that he was not a bad person. If he was a bad person, how could he be so nice to her? Thinking about the cursing words he had just been on the street, I couldn't help feeling guilty and kept blaming herself, blushing with her face and looking up boldly and said, "This father-in-law, I am not good at it just now... I shouldn't scold you..."
"There is nothing wrong! If we do something wrong, we should scold us!"
Eunuch Wei waved his hand and said kindly to the woman named Zhang: "Sister-in-law, don't be sad, don't be afraid. Tell us why we scold us now. If there are any difficulties, our family will help you solve it. In short, our family will stand in front of you now, and you will boldly talk to our family. If you don't say yours, how can our family be the same as your people!"
After saying that, he said with a serious expression: "If my sister-in-law is really wronged and bullied by our family, you don't have to be afraid. I'll say it out loud. Our family can't do anything else, but it's okay to seek justice for you and exaggerate your anger!"
When the people guarding the yamen heard this, they all changed their qualities. Even Zhang Hua, who had always been good-looking, became nervous when he heard this.
"Father-in-law, I have anger and anger!"
The words of Eunuch Wei touched the hearts of the woman surnamed Zhang, especially her clear expression, which inspired her. While wiping her tears, she said to Eunuch Wei: "My father-in-law, since ancient times, I have been killing people and paying their lives, and I have been owed debts and paying them, but my son asked someone to kill them. The murderer not only did not pay his life, but he had nothing to do. I really can't stand this tone!"
