Du Dayin glanced at him and laughed, "Do you know all this?"

"I heard people say it too. But they didn't say who it is." Xiao Jiading replied.

Du Dayin said: "There are people in the court who are good at being officials, and this sentence is not in vain. Now, who does not have a distant neighbor or a close neighbor? "

"That's right, hehe."

"Did you take the case of Geng Changshi's brother-in-law killing and deal with it?"

Xiao Jiading was slightly surprised. It was just a matter of the morning. The retired old clerk knew that the news was so fast. When Du Dayin saw his surprised look, he couldn't help but smile and said, "For the county government, this is a big deal. If I don't need to ask about such a thing, someone will come to my ears. You have caused a big trouble! People can't avoid it, but you're going to rush up by yourself. I don't know whether to praise you or praise you."

As he said that, Du Yin kept shaking his head.

Xiao Jiading smiled bitterly, saying that he would not have the interest in upholding justice if he wanted to say voluntarily. It was Tang Lin's forced to use this to exchange for the favorable impression of King Li Ke of Shu, and then through Li Ke, he would penetrate the emperor's side. How could he tell such a highly confidential matter? So he could only pretend to be a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger. After talking generously, he softened and whispered: "Now, I know that behind this case is not only Geng Changshi, but also higher officials in the court support him. I just don't know who it is. If Mr. Du, can you remind me?"

It is really unreasonable to eat someone's mouth, Xiao Jiading comes with good wine and good food, or give him some useful inside information. Moreover, Du Dayin also hopes that Xiao Jiading can get better and better, so he lowered his voice and said, "The person who told you this news actually doesn't know exactly. Geng Changshi himself has no strong relationship in the court. He was involved in the court through Pan Biejia of the Prefecture."

The second-rank figure in the Prefecture Government Office, from the fourth rank, is equivalent to the current deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, second only to the governor. The other master in Yizhou is named Pan Linghong. Because Yizhou is the location of the Grand Governor's Office of Jiannan Road, and the Grand Governor's Office, Li Ke, the King of Shu, also served as the governor of Yizhou, but his main energy is on the Grand Governor's Office, that is, military affairs. Unless it is important, he usually only cares about the specific things of the Yizhou Prefecture. Therefore, the actual supreme leader of the Yizhou Prefecture is Pan Linghong.

Xiao Jiading had heard of Pan Biejia for a long time, but he was a high-ranking official, but he was just a small clerk and was not qualified to see him. He originally thought that this case was just Geng Changshi's affairs, but now it involves Pan Linghong, the actual number one figure in the state government office, which made Xiao Jiading feel that his head was getting bigger.

Du Dayin took a sip of wine and continued, "Who is this Pan Biejia's backstage? Guess?"

Xiao Jiading shook his head blankly. Although he couldn't guess, he had already vaguely guessed that he should be a powerful minister who could not afford to offend him.

Du Dayin looked at him, smiled mysteriously, and said slowly: "Changsun Wuji!"

Xiao Jiading burst into his head and was completely confused.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Changsun family was so famous. His father was a famous general of the Sui Dynasty. His sister married Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin, a famous Empress Changsun in history. Li Shimin respected and loved the most. The son of Empress Changsun, Li Zhi, is the current emperor. Changsun Wuji himself was a young partner with Li Shimin since childhood. He participated in Li Yuan's uprising and was a founding elder. In the process of Li Shimin's fight for the throne, he played a very important role and ranked first among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion! Because he supported Li Zhi ascended the throne, he was also the uncle of Emperor Li Zhi. He was respected as the Grand Marshal, which was equivalent to the prime minister, and he was in charge of the government affairs at the same time! He was the top powerful minister below one person and above ten thousand people!

Xiao Jiading knew him, and another reason was that Changsun Wuji was the host and compiler of the origin of the Chinese legal system, "Tang Law Commentary", and he himself was a jurist who had an important position in the history of Chinese legal system.

Xiao Jiading didn't expect that he was facing the characters now, and the top powerful minister was involved in the bush! He was a little stunned for a moment. This number of people, let alone Tang Lin can't afford to offend him, I'm afraid that even King Li Ke'er of Shu would have to be in awe!

Xiao Jiading calmed down and thought, not to mention that he was just Geng Changshi's brother-in-law, he had nothing to do with Changsun Wuji. Even if Changsun Wuji's own brother-in-law killed someone, he was afraid he would have to be tried? Changsun Wuji himself was a jurist and could not break the law. He even punished the person who was responsible for the case specifically? As a jurist, Changsun Wuji knew that the clerk below was just a person who was doing business, not a decision-maker. If he wanted to suppress and punish even those who were doing business, he would not be Changsun Wuji.

After thinking about this festival, Xiao Jiading felt a little relieved, but he had already made up his mind. If the water was very deep, he still didn't have to go to this muddy water. He would take care of his life first.

Since Changsun Wuji is involved, it is even more necessary to understand the relationship.

Xiao Jiading whispered: "What is the relationship between Pan Biejia and Changsun Taiwei?"

Du Dayin said proudly: "You are asking the right person. Apart from me, there are really few people in Yizhou who know about their relationship. In the early years, when Changsun Taiwei was the military signing of Weibei, Pan Biejia was the one who was around him. Because he was well-in-commercial, he was highly appreciated by Changsun Taiwei. After following Changsun Taiwei for a few years, Changsun Taiwei Gao was promoted and he released him as the county magistrate. After many times, Pan Biejia was indeed very talented, and secondly, he received the care of Changsun Taiwei in the court, so he had a prosperous career and had been the fourth rank of Beijia now. Because he was an official in many places.

, and Pan Biejia is very low-key, and rarely talks about the relationship between him and Changsun Taiwei. Therefore, after he arrived in Yizhou, few people in Yizhou knew about this. I only found out about this incident by chance. You are the one I recommended to the yamen. Erniu always says good things about you. Now you are in such a big trouble again. So, if I don’t tell you the joints thoroughly, you will be in trouble and my face will not look good. Then I told you, don’t talk outside. Pan Biejia doesn’t like other people’s words about this kind of thing. He won’t be happy when he hears it.”

Xiao Jiading hurriedly bowed and thanked her, saying he was relieved, and he would never say it out. He asked again: "What is the relationship between Geng Changshi and Pan Biejia?"

"When Geng Changshi was the county magistrate in Liujicheng County, Jiangzhou, Pan Biejia was the county magistrate. The two families got very close. Later, Pan Biejia married Geng Changshi's wife's cousin's wife, and although he had already given the fifth condolence, because both of them were officials in Jiangzhou, the relatives got closer and closer. That's it."

Xiao Jiading understood and couldn't help but smile bitterly. The so-called officials protect each other, and those who have nothing to do with each other will take care of each other, let alone the two have some kinship relationships.

Du Dayin said again: "There is another reason for the close relationship between the two, that is, both of them like calligraphy and painting, but Pan Biejia is better at calligraphy, and Geng Changshi especially likes painting. What he is best at is the ink-splashing landscape with fine brushwork techniques. Especially after drinking, he likes to show off in front of others. If he paints in front of you, you should brag about it!"

Xiao Jiading smiled. Many leaders in modern society like to be artful and elegant. They can only doodle words with bad words, but they like to write inscriptions and paintings everywhere. In ancient times, officials were usually literati, and these calligraphy and paintings were in their own profession, so they would not be much worse.

Du Dayin continued: "This Geng Changshi is different from Pan Biejia. Pan Biejia is very low-key, but Geng Changshi is very arrogant. He likes to talk about his relationship with Pan Biejia and the relationship between Pan Biejia and Changsun Taiwei to raise himself. However, because Pan Biejia doesn't like others saying that he has such a relationship between the DPRK and China, Pan Biejia is just talking about the powerful ministers in the court, and dare not say who they are. He only says that he has a relationship with the powerful minister, but not the relationship between Pan Biejia. So outsiders only know that he has a relationship with the powerful ministers in the court, but they don't know the inside story."

Xiao Jiading smiled. It seemed that this big-bellied Geng Changshi, like himself, also likes to pretend to be a tiger. Since Pan Biejia has this attitude, he may not have come forward to take care of Geng Changshi's brother-in-law's murder case, and he will not be exposed to Changsun Wuji.

However, since Geng Changshi is a person who likes to pretend to be a tiger, it means that this person is very concerned about face. If his brother-in-law is executed, he will be disgraced. This is probably the reason why he tried hard to suppress the matter. If this is the case, if he cannot handle this matter well, he would probably not alarm the senior official like Changsun Wuji. However, Geng Changshi, the second-in-command figure in the Yizhou Prefecture, was angry and it would be enough to drink a pot by himself.

How to deal with this case so that Tang Lin and Li Ke can satisfy Tang Lin and achieve Tang Lin's goal without offending Geng Changshi and satisfying him is also a test of his political wisdom.

Of course, Xiao Jiading would not think about this issue now. After thanking him, he turned the topic gently and asked: "I don't know much about the court and I am very curious about the emperor's amnesty for the world. Does Mr. Du know what the emperor usually amnesty for?"

"Well, in the past, the general amnesty of the world was nothing more than the emperor ascending the throne, establishing the queen, establishing the prince, praying for rain and other things. There are also some general amnesty for no reason, and there is no reason for the world. Of course, there must be a reason for this, but it is not convenient to say it, so the emperor would not say it, just just an amnesty."

Xiao Jiading's heart moved and nodded slowly. He asked again: "Old Du has been in the yamen for many years. I don't know how long it will take for a death penalty case from the beginning to the end to the approval of the final death penalty?"

"It's hard to say, there are fast and slow, but because we have to report it layer by layer, the county government, the prefecture, the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and finally report it to the emperor. It will take at least about half a year to go through this cycle."
