Brief introduction of Jia Yucun and arbitrariness judgment of bending law

After Jia Yucun arrived in Yingtianfu, the first case he took over was Feng Yuanmou's murder. Cao Xueqin wrote the psychological activities of the characters very carefully, and his pen and ink were extremely concise. He vividly showed Jia Yucun's process of transforming human nature and his psychological activities through some details. When he heard that Feng's servant had been accused for a year, but no one was in charge, he couldn't help flying into a rage. When he picked up the sign, he was about to signal the arrest of the murderer. As a result, there was a door next to it and made a wink. Well, Jia Yucun immediately announced his withdrawal from the court. We saw Cao Xueqin write: "Yucun is very suspicious, so we have to stop and immediately retreat to the secret room and attendants." We know that Menzi is the most common chief and servant, and he is the lowest. Why does this door blink and hum, and then he will stop immediately? This shows that Jia Yucun has indeed learned its lesson. The last time I was a magistrate, I suffered because I didn't serve my boss well. It is the most important thing to listen to the boss in officialdom. Although his position is low, since he dares to wink at me in the magistrate's lobby, this person must have a history. Either he has a good background or he must have mastered very important information. He is afraid that my new magistrate will suffer. So Jia Yucun, he learned the last lesson, not only can't offend the boss, there are some people of all colors in officialdom. Maybe when you need it. Sure enough, this door took out the official patron saint. Of course, the following is the gourd case. At this time, Jia Yucun's transformation of human nature, from a very good person to a wicked person, has been completely completed. Jia Yucun's life is a typical reflection of the complete experience of some scholars. This experience is a complete process. I studied hard, took exams, entered high school, became an official, was dismissed from office, came back, was promoted, and was finally shackled and convicted, that is, learned, became an official, and was finally convicted, which was reflected in Jia Yucun. This process can be roughly divided into two stages. The turning point is that Jia Yucun became an official, that is, he became an official after winning the Jinshi. At this time, such an excellent, talented, ambitious and backbone gentleman who could have done something good for the society and the people was gradually corroded in the dirty officialdom, and finally became a scourge of society and a person who bent the law, lost his humanity and turned around.

Jia Yucun should be a clever figure among the characters in A Dream of Red Mansions. This man was born into a family of declining poets and officials. When he was down and out, thanks to Zhen's help, he was able to take the exam in Beijing and become a scholar in high school. After that, he became an official and a magistrate. However, because he can't get rid of lofty scholars, he "bullied his talents" and offended many colleagues. As a result, it was recruited by the boss and dismissed by the emperor. Jia Yucun, who lost his official position as a scholar, has a good attitude, and even "has no resentment on his face and is still smiling". After explaining his business trip, he "traveled around the world alone". It's really "no official, one is light", and it's incredibly chic.

However, after all, the loss of official position brought Jia Yucun immediate embarrassment in life. During his illness, he could only make a living as a tutor. Later, Jia Zheng helped by opening the back door through a friend. Jia Zheng for this brother-in-law, plus like Jia Yucun's handsome appearance and talent, "he did his best to help them, and on the day of titles, gently selected a vacancy for reinstatement. In less than two months, Jinling should fill the vacancy in Tianfu. " So, Jia Yucun took office again.

As a result, as soon as Jia Yucun took office, he encountered a life-threatening lawsuit. It turns out that Xue Pan, the son of the Xue family in Jinling, is fighting for a maid with Feng, the son of another well-off family. Relying on his influence, Xue Gongzi killed Feng Gongzi by killing slaves. The facts of the case are clear and the evidence is conclusive. Jia Yucun's first reaction was: "He was furious and said,' Bullshit! If you kill someone, you'll leave for nothing, and you'll never get it again. "Because of the signature, the official immediately tortured the murderer and asked them to confess where they were hiding; While moving the sea arrest documents. " You see, this Jia Yucun should still have a conscience and at least a sense of justice. His conscience judgment is correct and his measures are effective. However, just as he was about to sign, a small door standing next to him "winked at him". Make Jia Yucun "very suspicious". So he announced his resignation and went to the secret room to ask why. Although this door is not a middleman in officialdom, it is not old, but it is an "old Jianghu" that knows the "hidden rules" of society. Please look at this wonderful dialogue description:

The door asked: "Since the master is lucky enough to be in this province, why not copy a' amulet' of this province?" Yucun asked quickly, "What is an amulet? I have no idea. " The door said, "That's not bad! If you don't even know this, how can you do it in the long run! Now everyone who is a local official has a private list with the names of the most powerful, wealthy and expensive squires in the province, which is natural in all provinces; If you don't know, you will not only be an official, but also lose your life if you violate such a family for a while! So the nickname is' amulet'. Just say that the Xue family, young master, has provoked him! His lawsuit is not difficult, because it is all due to the situation. " As he spoke, he took out a copy of the "amulet" from his pocket and handed it to Yucun. When he saw it, it was all proverbs and buzzwords of local famous artists, and its word-of-mouth was clearly written. The following notes are all from ancestral titles.

From this conversation, Menzi immediately expressed incredible "contempt" for Yucun, who was born as a "bookworm", and this Menzi was not only very clear about the case, the criminals and the "hiding direction of criminals", but also knew the "hidden rules" of officialdom and secularism, and even knew Yucun's poor background and how to be an official. In this case of "asymmetric information", Yucun had to put down his official airs and humbly asked the door: "According to what you said, how can this case be settled?" The doorman said, "I heard that the master's promotion is also the strength of the Jia family; Xue Pan is a relative of the Jia family. Why don't you push the boat with the current, end the case and go to see the Lord Jia Gong in the future? "

All the words are said to this sake, but Jia Yucun, as a scholar, seems to have not completely lost his conscience in this "new official takes office with three fires". Yucun said, "What you said is true. However, this is a matter of life and death. Thanks to the kindness of the emperor, it is a rebirth and reconstruction. How can you abolish the law for personal reasons when you are trying to repay your kindness? I really can't stand it. " How to treat boss Yucun's "macro theory"? Hearing this, Menzi sneered: "What the master said is a great truth, but it is impossible. I don't know that there is a saying in the ancients that "a gentleman keeps pace with the times" and "he who pursues good fortune and avoids evil is a gentleman". According to the master, not only can you not work for the court, but you will also lose your life. You must think twice. "

When he said this, he suddenly hit the key of Yucun and deeply touched the dismissed Jia Yucun. So, this "rain village" bowed its head for a long time before saying,' What do you think?' "Mentz gave him an excuse to murder Xue Fan, and then asked Xue Jia to pay more money. At the same time, it is pointed out that the judgment will not cause much problem, because the Feng family "has no important people, but it is for money. Seeing this money, there is nothing to think about. " Results Yucun "bending the law, judge the case at will". As soon as the case was solved, he wrote two letters in a hurry, saying,' Your nephew's business is over, so don't worry too much', and sent us to spend time with Jia Zheng and Jing Ying in Wang Ziteng. "In this way, a sensational case of life in Jinling was so wisely decided by Jia Yucun. As expected, the Feng family got a lot of "buried money", so there is nothing to say. "No one in the society thinks there is anything wrong with this judgment, and no one complains. Everything in ancient Jinling was calm, and they lived their lives quietly in a peaceful atmosphere. As for Feng Gongzi who was killed, in the conversation with Yucun, he was purely a "unlucky ghost" who had a "bad karma" with Xue Pan. And what about Xue Pan, the murderer? From the day he killed, "the lawsuit of human life was regarded as a joke, and he could not spend a few stinking money for himself." "Xue childe this feeling and judgment is indeed right, his natural and unrestrained comfortable and happy life in the future has not been affected. In this way, the ancient society circulated, harmonious and peaceful.
