Li Zhan's kid is the youngest son of Li Lu and Princess Changle, and Li Dingguo, the prince of Great Britain, is a mother's compatriot, this kid has been smart since he was a child, and he is deeply liked by Li Lu and Princess Changle.The vassal kings of the British Empire established by Li Lu were very powerful, and in order to familiarize future vassal kings like Li Zhan with military and political affairs, when they became adults, they first served in the army for two years, and then worked as a local magistrate for a period of time.Before Li Zhan's expedition to the west, Li Zhan was arranged by his father to go to Weizhou in Tianzhu Province as a criminal officer, and within a few days of coming to Weizhou, Li Zhan liked it here.Although this Weizhou is located in Tianzhu, it has a bit of Jiangnan flavor.Although Weizhou is in Tianzhu, but the people here are all Han or Sinicized Hu people, in this Weizhou territory, there is a bit of the taste of the Central Plains city, which makes Li Zhan, who has been to the Tang Dynasty many times, like it very much.On this morning, Li Zhan entered the yamen, and when he saw that there was nothing wrong, he slapped the shocked wood, and just wanted to say "quit the hall", but someone beat the drum to complain, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "Bring the complaint."
The complaint was filed against an old man in his fifties.He was holding a young man in his twenties with one hand on both sides, and when he came in, he shouted at Li Zhan: "Big master, big master is the master of the small people."
I will sue these two unfilial sons. ”Li Zhan looked at it, only to see the old man with a handful of snot and tears, and then at the two young people, one by one, trembling and trembling.The old man sued them, but they did not defend themselves, and had a resigned attitude to fate.Li Zhan thought about it, then waved his hand and said, "Since you are here to fight a lawsuit, you will say one by one, I judge the case, and there are also rules of the government, so I can't be as casual as you are at home."
The three men listened and knelt down one by one.The old man was still dragging one in one hand, as if he was afraid that they would run away.Li Zhan smiled: "You put them down, who would dare to run away above my lobby?"
Whoever runs, but he will be guilty of one more degree. ”The old man let go of his hand, wiped a handful of tears, and said, "Old man, my surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Dake."
These two are my unfilial sons, one is called Wang Changhe, and the other is called Wang Zhijiang.I worked hard to pull them to grow up, and married them a daughter-in-law, I hoped that they could honor me well, so that my old man could spend a happy old age.Since marrying a daughter-in-law, they don't take my old man seriously, they don't give me money to spend on old men, and they don't give me meat to eat, they just enjoy it happily.Master, I hope that your old man will be the master of my old man. ”Li Zhan listened, pondered for a moment, and then turned to ask Wang Changhe and Wang Zhijiang why they abused their father.These two were just ripples of tears, and they lowered their heads and lowered them.Wang Changhe said: "Master, we abused our father and committed a big crime, and asked my lord to give each of our brothers a board, and beat our buttocks to the flesh."
In this way, my father and his old man will probably be discouraged.We won't talk about anything else. ”Li Zhan snorted and asked Wang Dake: "Your two sons admit that they are not filial, and I deeply sympathize with your experience."
Now I'm going to beat them each with 30 boards and beat them half to death, do you think it's okay?"
Wang Dake hurriedly said: "This is good, this is good."
In this way, they will keep it in mind, and see who they dare to abuse my old man again in the future. ”Li Zhan was originally testing Wang Dake's heart.When Wang Dake said this, it was also unexpected.From time immemorial, fathers have loved their children, and they have not failed to protect them.This Wang Dake seems to be willing to beat his two sons to death, is there something unspeakable in this?
Just because he doesn't give money to spend, he can't wait for his son to be beaten on the board, right?
Looking at Wang Dake's two sons, still hanging their heads, Li Zhan's heart moved, and he gently put the startling wood in his hand back on the table, and said, "You see it's almost noon this day, your stomachs must be hungry, right?"
Wang Dake listened, and then said, "Isn't it?"
My belly is almost on my back. ”"As the saying goes, 'It is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs.'"
I'm afraid that you won't be able to get a clue about your case for a while.I think so, I'll give you one a hundred yuan, you go out and find a restaurant to fill your stomach first, and then we'll continue the trial when you come back, how about it?"
After saying that, regardless of whether they agreed or not, Li Zhan instructed the tolerance to take thirty English dollars, divide ten British dollars among each of them, and let them go out to eat a full meal.The three of them walked ahead, and Li Zhan hurriedly called a tolerance, asked him to change into a set of civilian clothes, and quietly followed out.An hour later, Wang Dake and his son returned to the lobby.Before they came back, the man sent out by Li Zhan had already returned.He put his mouth to Li Zhan's ear and said like this, Li Zhan nodded, got down from the seat behind the table, and stood in the center of the hall.Seeing them enter the door, Li Zhan asked with a smile on his face, "How is it, have you eaten well?"
Wang Dake said: "Eat well.Wine was also drunk three times. ”"The official gave you ten yuan each, enough to spend, right?"
The three of them said enough in unison.Li Zhan paused and said, "I don't know if you all have left?"
My money is also earned piece by piece, if there is any leftover, you might as well return it to me.If you eat and drink, then forget it. ”Wang Dake said embarrassedly: "There is nothing left, it is all spent."
Li Zhan looked at Wang Dake, and then said to Wang Changhe and Wang Zhijiang: "Your father's ten yuan, eating and drinking, has been spent.You've been drinking too, haven't you?"
Wang Changhe looked at Wang Zhijiang and said that he didn't drink it."
You can't spend ten yuan on a meal, so you can embezzle the rest, right?"
Brothers, you look at me, and I look at you again, and I don't know what to say for a while.Li Zhan walked quickly to the back of the case and sat down, slapped the shocked wood hard, and said, "Ascend to the hall!"
I'm going to have a clean official today to cut off family affairs!"
The three people below had just knelt down, and Li Zhan called the man he sent out: "You tell me what you have seen, so that everyone can listen to it, and I will judge this case seriously."
The man said, "According to the master's orders, the little one followed them, and also pretended to be a master who went to the restaurant to eat."
As soon as they entered the hotel, the king stretched out his hand to his two sons and said, 'No more, give me eight pieces each.'
Your father and I have to drink wine and eat meat, what about you, just eat a bowl of noodles and burn it. ’The two sons obediently offered the money.Wang Dake was not polite, ordered two dishes and a pot of wine, and ate and drank by himself.As for the two sons, they were really obedient, and one of them asked for a bowl of noodles and a fire, and sat aside to eat them in a proper manner.Wang Dake only cared about eating his own food, and even let his two sons not let him, wiped his mouth after eating, and said to his two sons: 'If you want me not to sue you, you can meet all my requirements in the future.'
I want to eat and drink, even if you sell your wife and children, you have to send the money. ’These two honest sons didn't dare to fight back, so they knew to wipe their tears.Master, I've been on an errand in the yamen for nearly 20 years, and I think my beard is white, but it's the first time I've seen a father like Wang Dake, who only cares about himself. ”Li Zhan listened, twisted the lock of beard under his mouth, snorted in his mouth, and said, "Wang Dake, do you think that I can't spend my money now?"
Master, I am willing to pay thirty yuan, and I have an exam question for you to do.No, the answer is out.Your two sons are not unfilial, on the contrary, their filial piety is touching.It's you who are lazy and hardworking, and in order to satisfy your own desires, you don't hesitate to squeeze your son's blood and sweat.And you want to force your son to sell his wife and children.It's really unbearable, so that my head is on fire.Come on, knock down this shameless Wang Dake and hit the twenty boards!"
When Wang Changhe Wang Zhijiang heard this, he hurriedly got up to protect Wang Dake, turned around and begged Li Zhan bitterly: "Master, my father is already over half a hundred years old, and he can't stand your board, master."
These 20 boards, let my two brothers replace them.If the master thinks that 20 boards are not enough, you will play 30 or 40 boards per person, and we are willing to accept it.I just beg the master not to beat my father......"
Li Zhan said: "No."
I don't hit innocent people.The two of you honestly stand aside, and see that I will enforce the law impartially!"
Wang Changhe, Wang Zhijiang, still protects Wang Da to the death.Tears welled up in the eyes of both men.Seeing this, Li Zhan couldn't help but sigh: "Wang Dake, Wang Dake, look at your pair of filial sons, are you so unmoved by you?"
If it weren't for the division of your two sons, I would have the idea of beating you to death with a board.Think about it!"
Wang Dake knelt down again with a thud at this time, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Master Qingtian, I know that I am wrong."
After speaking, he put his arms around a son, "Old man, I don't know how to be blessed in the midst of happiness."
Master, you might as well beat me up.After today's incident, I woke up like a dream, big man, I beg you, if you don't beat me, old man, in my heart, woo woo woo woo ......"
Li Zhan slowly showed a smile on his face: "Okay."
If you can recognize your mistakes, then my thirty dollars are not in vain.In the future, it can't be like this anymore.Cherish this father-son relationship!"
With that, he waved his hand, "That's it."
I haven't eaten lunch yet.Quit!"
Li Zhan watched the three fathers and sons of the Wang family walk out of the hall, the prince of the British Empire, looking at the three fathers and sons of the Wang Dake family, who had become harmonious again, suddenly felt that this business was not so difficult to break.
