While the case was being examined, a former dismissed official came to the county office and called one of the magistrates, telling him to go in and summon Zhu Pingan, saying that Zhang County Procurator, Yao Chief Bookkeeper, and Li Dianshi would soon be arriving at the county seat of Jingnan County, and that he should bring all the officials of the county office, as well as all the dignitaries and gentry of the county, to go to the north gate of the county seat to greet Eunuch Qian’s grand entrance.
The dismissed official was the one sent to Jingnan by Zhang County Minister to inform Zhu Pingan before his departure. Zhang County Minister and others tried to use the name of Eunuch Qian to suppress Zhu Pingan and make Zhu Pingan lead the people to go in front of the gate to meet him, so that they could take advantage of the opportunity to give Zhu Pingan an opportunity to give him an opportunity to take revenge on Zhu Pingan. After that, then ask Eunuch Qian to calm down Zhu Pingan, so that Zhu Pingan cancelled the impeachment, and will share the credit to them.
The thought was good, but it didn’t work.
After receiving the report from the magistrate, Zhu Pingan simply ignored it.
What the sh*t Qian Gong Gong, Zhang County Minister and other people have a sick brain, and what moths, I hand a pile of official business, monks and nuns case is not yet finished, the people, relief, reconstruction, restoration of production, the autumn harvest ……Jingnan how many big things are waiting for the old man, busy as hell, you let the old man to go to the city gate to meet a bullsh*t eunuch? You guys are used to being lickers. Don’t drag me into this.
I don’t know what to say, I’m a retard!
Zhu Pingan simply ignore, continue to hear the case.
Zhu Pingan around the case and asked a few questions, thoroughly understand the original case, monks and nuns were childhood sweethearts, private life, but the female parents beat the lovebirds, the two successively out of the house. To avoid the Japanese, the two surprisingly reunited, the fire of love rekindled, burning, private meetings in the woods, unexpectedly caught on the spot.
The two are private meeting, whether it is to rely on whether, embrace whether, are to achieve the degree of fornication, not xing behaviour. Two people do not abide by the rules and regulations, although the behaviour of the wind and morals, the wind and customs, but the lack of “adultery” on the constituent elements, did not constitute the crime of fornication, as fornication and adultery, and adultery and other sub-crimes naturally also not established.
In addition, in view of the two childhood sweethearts, by the parents beat the lovebirds, hair and other circumstances, the two are also a pair of poor lovebirds, the circumstances are relatively minor, Zhu Pingan decided to lighten the sentence.
Zhu Pingan in the public hall first summarised the facts of the case, then to the plaintiff and defendant as well as the crowd outside the hall for a detailed interpretation of the law, and finally pronounced the sentence in the hall.
The judgement was that the monk Liu Lock and the nun Wang Lian should return to secularism and finish their marriage.
In view of Wang Lian’s parents’ previous record of beating up lovebirds, Zhu Pingan, a good man to the end, sent the Buddha to the West, and wrote a poem in the hall as a written judgement. With himself as the governor endorsement matchmaking, I think after they return to secularism, Wang Lian’s parents will no longer force Wang Lian to marry Ma as a concubine, may not support, but at least will not prevent the two people to get married.
“Half a gourd and a half a dipper, combined in one place to become a good peach. From now on, the wind and wind are silent, and after that, the moon and shadow are far away from knocking on the door.
The birds are happy when the air is colourful, and the lotus flower falls in a quiet and delicate place. Who is the one who hooked the affair case, remembering Zhu Yue Lao in the hall.”
Zhu Pingan waved a brush and splashed ink in the public hall, and with a single stroke, a poem of judgement for monks and nuns jumped out on the paper, and then stamped with the magistrate’s seal.
Liu Lock and Wang Lian received the judgement poem, surprised beyond belief, crying tears of joy, kowtowing to thank Zhu Pingan again and again, their heads were red and swollen.
“This case is a special case, because although Liu Lock and Wang Lian both met in private, but did not have adulterous feelings, it does not constitute the crime of fornication, so it is leniently sentenced. My “Daming Laws – Penal Laws” stipulates that if the monk monk nuns female crowns have committed and adultery, in their temples and nunneries at the door of the head, yoke two months, canes one hundred, as a warning to others. All temples and nunneries should strictly control their monks and nuns, and if any of them violates the regulations, they will be severely punished! The clerk makes a record of this.”
After the judgement, Zhu Pingan emphatically admonished once in the classroom to avoid the negative impact of this case, which would make other monks and nuns in temples and nunneries follow suit and undermine the ethos. Zhu Pingan also asked the clerk to make a record of this admonition of his on the record of the trial, to avoid future political enemies misinterpreting this case and attacking himself.
Hear Zhu Pingan’s admonition, Liu lock and Wang Lian two people can not help but fearful, thankful, if not they did not carry out more drastic action, if not they met Zhu Pingan, I am afraid that they will be put on the yoke, put on the shameful offence seal, in front of their Red Temple Temple Temple and Red Temple Temple Temple nunnery, the yoke show public for two months, show the public finished, they also want to be hit a hundred big boards. After the public display, they will also be beaten with a hundred planks. If this hundred planks go down, whether people can survive or not is a question mark. In addition, in accordance with the law, the offence, the woman was beaten, but to go to the clothes by the cane, that is to say, to be naked in public to be beaten. Once subjected to this punishment, Wang Lian thought that even if she survived after a hundred lashes, she would have no face to live again.
Thank you for saving her life.
While Liu Lock and Wang Lian were scared, they couldn’t help but kowtow again to thank Zhu Ping An.
Zhu Pingan in the judgement after the willow lock and Wang Lian, not immediately down the hall, in the hall in public on the red temple village LiZheng ZhangDalong villagers ZhangTieDan, ZhangDaNiu and so on eighteen people, oral praise, praise LiZheng ZhangDalong dedicated, praise them to obey the law, safeguard the law of the Ming Dynasty and good customs, support the work of the county magistrate.
After the commendation, Zhu Pingan wrote a couplet to the village of Hongmiao where they were located, in recognition of their behaviour.
The first couplet is “Gao Yi has inherited the blessing of blessing the Sang Zi a thousand years of virtue through the civil and military”;
The next couplet reads, “Hongmiao has gathered talented people to serve the Ming Dynasty, and the four seas have been flourishing in the village.”
The banner reads, “A model for the countryside”.
Zhang Dalong, Zhang TieDan, Zhang DaNiu and others received the couplet praising them from Zhu PingAn, and their mouths all grinned happily to the root of their ears, especially Zhang Dalong, the head of the department, who was even more happy that he couldn’t even close his mouth. This couplet has the name of their red temple village, praise their red temple village, with the county governor this couplet, he will be able to sit in the middle of a stable, the county governor have praised! The red temple village which has him this credit and face, this is his Zhang Dalong’s achievements, this case and the county magistrate rewarded the couplet, enough to blow his whole life. Oh, think of the villagers admiring look, think of other villages are envious and jealous of the look, Zhang Dalong beauty don’t want.
Zhu Pingan clear distinction between reward and punishment, the trial judge not only review the facts of the case, but also the public interpretation of the law, detailed explanation of the reasons for the verdict, truly based on the facts, to the law as a guideline, clear logic, justified, the public hall plaintiffs and defendants, as well as outside the hall of the masses of the people do not have a not happy and sincere conviction.
Because of this monk and nun affair case is very topic, after Zhu Pingan pronounced the judgement, this monk and nun affair case as well as the judgement poem made by Zhu Pingan, soon spread from the public hall to the outside, and quickly circulated in Jingnan, became a good story, and spread to the outside of Jingnan to spread, the more the more the further and the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more the more famous the.
