Chapter 431: It's Time to Govern the Scholars
After saying this honestly, Jiang talked about it for most of the night, and he was still talking until the sky was bright.
Li Rizhi did not interrupt him. He waited until he talked about how to kill Jiang Dahui. Li Rizhi asked.
Because Jiang was not very important when speaking honestly, he just kept talking about the grievances he suffered. Although these grievances were also written into the file, they were not the focus.
Li Rizhi asked: "I have never figured out how you got out of the county town in the middle of the night, but after seeing your fake beard, I knew the reason, but you still need to say it yourself!"
Jiang Hushi told me how he got out of the city gate at night and then into the city gate in the morning.
It is similar to Li Rizhi's inference, but this cannot be regarded as a mistake by the city gate guards, because this is really beyond the reach of manpower. Not to mention a county town like Qianfeng County, even a city with a tightly defended city like Chang'an or Luoyang cannot do it. It is impossible to make the city gate guards recognize every person entering and leaving the city!
After Jiang Hushi told the whole story of the crime, it was already midnight and it was time for breakfast.
Li Rizhi asked the clerk who followed him to record Jiang Hushi's confession in a complete manner, recording it for more than a dozen pages, and then asked Jiang Hushi to sign and seal it. After doing all this, Li Rizhi led everyone back to the county government.
Before he left, a constable came to report that the doctor he had found had already seen for Aunt Jiang, saying that Aunt Jiang was not injured, but the drug was a bit too strong. Moreover, Aunt Jiang was very sad these days and was in a bad state. So after inhaling the ecstasy incense, he has not woken up until now, but Su Xing will definitely wake up, and the doctor can guarantee this.
Li Rizhi ordered the doctor to take care of her carefully. If the aunt was unconscious, she still needed to wake her up.
After returning to the county government, Li Rizhi had a meal, and then he went to the second hall, took out paper and pen to write the file. The case has been solved until now, and it has basically come to an end. As for the two escaped Jiang Zhonghou and Beigong Tai, there is no need to catch them back.
As the nephew of Jiang Daechui and Aunt Jiang, Jiang Zhonghou had faults in this case, but Li Rizhi had beaten him, so he had already punished him, at least in this case.
As for Beigong Tai, although he fought with Jiang Dahui, the people would not pursue the matter of fighting. After Jiang Dahui was beaten, he did not choose to report to the officials. This means that he thought it would be fine if he had fought one, and he did not intend to pursue the subsequent investigation.
Or it is said that Jiang Dahui wanted to sue, but he did not have time to sue. So in this case, it is perfectly reasonable to arrest Beigong Tai and punish him, but from a legal perspective, there is no need for this.
People like Beigong Tai will commit crimes again in the future. When he commits crimes again, he will repair him hard, and it will be too late.
On the contrary, if he gets taught this lesson, becomes a human again and really starts to do a serious business, then it is absolutely okay to give up this matter. In fact, if the latter situation can happen, it would be better.
Li Rizhi thought to himself: "The most unlucky person in the whole case is Jiang Daechui, and then his old wife, Aunt Jiang. The old couple not only have no children, but also have two nephews who have been raised since childhood. One is a cunning bastard, and the other actually wants to kill them!"
Jiang Dachui and his wife should have put a lot of effort into their two nephews and wanted to raise them into talents. Unfortunately, they did not raise these two nephews into any good characters, but they were even worse than the other.
Judging from Jiang Hushen’s confession, although his confession is fragmentary, one thing is that he is very coveted about Jiang Dahui’s property and wants to take it alone.
Jiang Dawei not only has his own business and residence, but also has members in jade shops in Luoyang, and has reached thousands of tents.
Jiang Laoshi learned the news when he accidentally eavesdropped on Jiang Dachui and Aunt Jiang's conversation, so he strengthened his determination to kill someone.
After the murder, Jiang Laoshi pretended not to know the news, but Aunt Jiang told him and appointed Jiang Laoshi as his heir. As a result, it was fine if he didn't designate. Once he was assigned, Jiang Laoshi actually took action and wanted to kill his aunt immediately.
Li Rizhi closed the file and what should Aunt Jiang do in the future? I guess she can only educate Jiang Zhonghou's son well.
However, judging from Aunt Jiang's temper, she was really hurt. It is still unknown whether she would really bring Jiang Zhonghou's son to raise him.
For Aunt Jiang, she has no blood relationship with the people in the Jiang family. It is very likely that she adopts a child from another family, such as an orphan who is without a father or mother, and then raises the orphan and gives her a care for her to live in her old age.
As for whether Jiang Zhonghou will make trouble, whether the Jiang family's tribe members will follow suit and want to share the property, it depends on whether Aunt Jiang is willing to let her adopted son's surname be Jiang. If she can enter the Jiang family's ancestral hall, the property is her adopted son and no one else can take it away.
Li Rizhi sighed. Jiang Dachui must have hired teachers for both Jiang Laoshi and Jiang Zhonghou, and both of them are scholars, but their character is so misdeed. It seems that he needs to manage the scholars in the county well.
Scholars read books of sages, and they should talk about some etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame. If they don’t want anything conscience and think about harming others all day long, or just want to make money, then what’s the use of reading all the time?
After Li Rizhi became the county magistrate of Qianfeng County, he never paid attention to scholars. He always gave Fu Guibao the education issue in the county, but Fu Guibao himself did not study well.
Although he is now a county magistrate, he is not sure whether he is in charge of the county scholars. In short, Fu Guibao has never reported any such problems to him.
Li Rizhi wrote the file, stamped his official seal, called a servant, and sent the file to Yanzhou Prefecture. He had already made a judgment on this case according to the law.
Because it is a lawsuit for human life, the governor of Yanzhou must use the seal himself and send the file to Chang'an. The Ministry of Justice verifies the seal, and then handes it over to the emperor to make a decision. Then the emperor's decision is returned to the Ministry of Justice, and then sends it back to Li Rizhi's hands. After this process, it is basically autumn.
So Li Rizhi told Jiang Hushi that as long as he confessed well, he would not sentence Jiang Hushi to death, but instead sentence him to death after the autumn. This was not considered a breaking promise. After all, Jiang Hushi confessed everything he could.
As for what Jiang Zhen really hoped, would he be amnested by the court and spared his death penalty?
That's a daydream!
