Guo Zhizhang didn't know that he had already fallen into the trick of the loyal minister Wu Haogu!

The bizarre case reported by Bai Shizhong is simply a fake case! It was planned by Wu Haogu, Zhao Jiaren, chief editor of Wenquxing Xunbao, He Tianran, chief litigator of the Republican Dynasty, Zhou Tong's eldest son, Zhou Yunqing, coach of Jiehe Imperial Boxing Pavilion, and Lu Renjia, former Kaifeng Prefecture Silu Department.

He Tianran, who is known as the number one in Kaifeng, is the most critical figure among them, Wu Haogu, a loyal minister in the new era with the spirit of the rule of law!

With the 900-year vision of later generations, Wu Haogu knew that loyal ministers could not only be loyal, but also had the spirit of the rule of law. He had to be a loyal minister in the new era who knew the law and violated the law. Well, it should be a new era of loyal ministers who knew the law, would take advantage of legal loopholes, and would use legal weapons to frame treacherous ministers.

Otherwise, the loyal minister, Wu Haogu, would have to be assassinated by all kinds of treacherous ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty... The treacherous ministers are so treacherous, and of course, loyal ministers are more traitful than treacherous ministers!

So while establishing the Republic, Wu Haogu began to build his own full-time legal team. Through Bai Feifei's links, he offered a sky-high salary of 3,000 yuan a year. He invited the first litigation stick in Kaifeng Prefecture, and He Tianran, known as the "iron mouth and bronze teeth", became his chief litigator.

Under He Tianran's introduction, Wu Haogu invited Lu Renjia, who served as the guard in Kaifeng Prefecture Secretariat, and was known as the "Sword and Pen Official" with the same high salary.

In addition, Zhou Tong's eldest son Zhou Yunqing, who made his contribution in the arson case in Beidaying, was also recruited by Wu Haogu with an annual salary of 3,000 yuan, becoming the instructor of the Imperial Boxing Gym in Jiehe Shang City, and was also recommended as an official in the third class.

With the help of the old official and the father and son of the Zhou family who were able to call for the wind and rain in the Kaifeng Prefecture, Wu Haogu could naturally create a fake case that kept Guo Zhizhang and Guo Daqingtian in the dark.

It was almost evening in the afternoon, and he was in his forties, a little short and thin, with a gentle smile on his face. He rode a tattered carriage into the Lihua Villa.

After getting off the bus, I went straight to Wu Haogu's inner study room. In the study room, Wu Haoguzheng, He Tianran, and Li Bangyan, the leader of the Taixue Shangshe, studied "" which is real! The so-called "" is a long story that a storyteller said with his mouth in the Song Dynasty. According to the records of later Ming people, they all said that "the rise began with Song Renzong". In the Huizong Dynasty, there were storytellers' performances in the restaurants, tea shops and tiles in Kaifeng Prefecture City. Some of the storytellers can not only speak, but also write. Moreover, storytellers have not only men but also women.

Generally speaking, male storytellers talk about kings, princes, generals and ministers, and the rise and fall of the world, the most popular one is the "three parts", which is the story of the Three Kingdoms. While female storytellers naturally focus on stories about talented men and beautiful women.

In addition to kings, princes, generals, and talented men and beautiful women, there are also some bizarre cases that will be written into stories, which can be regarded as the origin of the detective.

Most of the recorders recruited by Wu Haogu for "Wenquxing Xunbao" were originally written by writers and writers who wrote stories, which were easy to understand, and were popular among the general public. The beautiful articles of the imperial examination literati were used in the officialdom and in the imperial examination. The working people who had not read seriously could not understand them at all, nor could they understand them very much.

The "dead bigamy divorce case" turned into a female storyteller from Pingjiang Jun. The stage name (pse name) was Xiao Yulin, whose mother's surname was Li, and whose mother's name was Li Niangzi or Li Yulin. She was Bai Feifei's friend and had a very good writing style. She was introduced by Bai Feifei to Wenquxing Newspaper and became a female recorder. In other words, the female reporter in the Northern Song Dynasty was still a bit of a defense between men and women, so the newspaper needed some female reporters to interview women.

The column written by Niangzi Li was named "Paiwen Jing" by Wu Haogu, which is a column that specializes in various bizarre cases. "The dead rich businessman actually had two wives, and Guo Qingtian couldn't decide the family case" is the pioneering work of the "Paiwen Jing" column!

As long as Kaifeng Prefecture accepts this case, the next issue of Wenquxing Xunbao will be published immediately.

"Recommendation," Lu Renjia walked into Wu Haogu's study and bowed to Wu Haogu's current, "Kaifeng Prefecture has accepted it, and Guo Dafu (Guo Zhizhang) has also inquired about the case and is preparing to mediate in person."

"Mediation? Can this case be mediated?" Wu Haogu asked.

"At this time, civil cases can be mediated."

The answer is He Tianran, the iron mouth and copper teeth. He is only twenty-seven or eight years old. He is handsome, with a white face and long beards, and his eyebrows are erect. He looks like a high-ranking official. He is actually a scholar. He has participated in the Kaifeng Prefecture Examination since he was 17 years old. He took the exam three times and failed the exam every time.

In order to make money in Kaifeng Prefecture, He Tianran became a master of a lawsuit and learned the law of criminal law. Within a few years, he actually reached the level of proficiency, became a major figure in Kaifeng Prefecture, and won several very difficult lawsuits, became famous in one fell swoop, and got the nickname of iron mouth and bronze teeth.

This case was created by him according to Wu Haogu's request! It was definitely a fake case that gave Guo Zhizhang a headache!

He Tianran said proudly: "And there is usually no situation in civil cases where one party takes full advantage. Most of the time, the official and the mother-in-law are right, so the official and the secretary of Kaifeng Prefecture mediates first and then make a decision.

The problems that subordinates gave to Guo Dafu were enough for him to have a headache for a while. If he made a random judgment, the loser would be fine to beat the Dengwen drum."

The case designed by He Tianran is that "both parties have a right", the defendant divorced "wrongly accused", and "three no-goes", and "remarried" by his mother's order, which is to fulfill his filial piety. The plaintiff is even more innocent. She was married by the Ming media, but after her husband died, she was bullied by her mother-in-law and became the "second wife". Now that her mother-in-law is dead, she will not violate filial piety again.

If anyone is wrong, it is undoubtedly the dead Chen Dalang and Chen’s mother Liu…

"Shimei," Wu Haogu turned his head and said to Li Bangyan, "When the Wenqu Xingxunbao wrote Lady Li, you have to let the talented people in the Imperial Academy submit more articles and comments. Moreover, you still don't show your voice, do you know?"

Li Bangyan quickly patted his chest and smiled, "Don't worry, Bangyan is still a little popular in the Imperial Academy."

Wu Haogu nodded, "Very good! After the matter is done, I will help you introduce Mr. Cai... With him taking care of you, you will not be afraid of not being able to rise to the top after being appointed as an official in the future."

Li Bangyan was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly hugged and clasped his fists: "Thank you, thank you."

"Wenqu Xing Xunbao" is mainly aimed at the public, while the "comments" of Tai students are a way to speed up the attention of the upper class. When the impact of this fake case is great, Song Huizong will be able to take it to the Chongzheng Hall as gossip.

At that time, Han Zhongyan, Zeng Bu, Fan Chunli and other important officials will have to express their opinions that you are the greenest and green sky in the Song Dynasty. Such a case will never be difficult for you, right? Otherwise, this blue sky will not be green enough.

And to express your opinion, a couple must be incest! And marrying a dead man is even more incest. Even if it is understandable, it can only be judged that the marriage relationship between the dead Chen Dalang and Yu Niangzi is not established... As for how the Chen family compensates Yu, it is a different matter.

...

Ten days later, when Deputy Prime Minister Fan Chunli visited Han Zhongyan's mansion, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty had just had dinner and was drinking tea in the study while reading newspapers under the light. Although there were not many issues of the Wenqu Xingxun Daily, Han Zhongyan still developed the habit of reading newspapers.

Because he was blinded by Song Huizong, the prime minister Han Zhongyan was also "blind and deaf". He was born in a wealthy family. When he was a child, he was studied in the locked family. After he passed the Jinshi, he rose to prominence. He did not have much contact with the sufferings of the people and became a high-ranking official. After becoming a high-ranking official, he was even more arrogant. How could he have the opportunity to contact the people?

So after the appearance of "Wenqu Xing Xunbao", Han Zhongyan realized that the situation was wrong, and also felt that he also needed a newspaper...

In addition, the "Wenqu Xingxunbao" has recently been hyping up the issue of "north grain transport in the south"! For the Northern Song Dynasty court, which regards Kaifeng Prefecture's rice bowl as bigger than the sky, if even 1 million stones can be transported from the Jiehe River-Yellow River-Bian River every year, it would be a great thing.

In addition, several interviews by the river transport service providers have been published in the "Wenqu Xingxun Daily" and have a very detailed introduction to the capacity of the Yellow River flowing north. According to the Gangxun, there are a large number of empty ships returning south on the waterway of the Yellow River flowing north. Because the trade report of the Song and Liao dynasties was balanced, the Song Dynasty exported more things and imported less. If all the empty ships returning south were loaded with grain, there would be 1 million stones of rice and grain...

"Yisou, have you read the article on the transportation of grain in the north and south in Wenquxing Xunbao?"

Seeing Fan Chunli coming, Han Zhongyan smiled and mentioned the transportation of grain in the north and south.

"1 million stones a year..." Han Zhongyan smiled, "In this way, I will no longer worry that the people in Kaifeng Prefecture will be hungry, and there will be no shortage of military rations for transport to the northwest. I think this matter can be prepared this year. After the autumn grain harvest comes, 1.2 million stones will be stored in Haizhou. Next summer, you can transport it to the border river in the southeast wind."

He paused, "How about letting Jiehe Maritime Bureau handle this matter with full authority?"

Fan Chunli waved his hand and said, "Shi Pu, don't worry about this... It's still early to fall in autumn. Let's take a look at the surprise column on the "Wenqu Xing Xunbao"!"

"Surprise the case?" Han Zhongyan smiled, "It's nothing more than some bizarre and weird cases, which are not something we prime minister need to care about."

"My husband, you can take a look first, you will know after you look!" Fan Chunli stomped his feet, "I'm afraid someone has set his sights on Queen Yuanyou!"
