Ancient Shouchun) During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a county seat in the Northern Wei Dynasty called Shouchun.
This place is in today's Huainan, Anhui Province.
There is a common man in Shouchun County, called Xun Tai, and he also has a three-year-old son, one day this Xun Tai took his son to wander outside the city, and suddenly met a robber, and the child was taken away by the robbers at that time.
Shouchun this place, it is located in the north of the Jianghuai River, since ancient times it is a place where soldiers must fight, and in the case of the confrontation between the north and the south at that time, it is significantly more important, the southerners get Shouchun, the principle loses its barrier, the northerners get Shouchun, and the south of the Yangtze River loses its throat.
Shouchun is well-connected and densely populated, so if you lose this child and you want to get it back, it will be a bit difficult.
But we don't coincidentally don't write a book, if the child is not found, then forget it, there will be no such story, fortunately, after the father Xun Tai looked for a period of time, he really found the child in Shouchun County.
The child he lost was raised in the home of Zhao Fengbo, a native of the same county, and did not go out or take it out.
In ancient times, the units at the county and township level, the local people, needed a guide to go out.
Generally speaking, if you are born in ** and grew up in **, you can only stay in ** honestly, it's okay, you can't run around.
If you want to go from this village to that village, from this county to that county, and if you want to do short-distance or long-distance activities, you need to go to the government in advance to apply for road guides.
Ancient road guide) to the government, what is the surname of what is the family ** engaged in what work must be honestly explained, where to go where to do what to do a few days back also to explain in advance, the government investigation is clear, think that there is no problem, will issue you a road guide as a certificate, with this road to the state capital pass when you can pass, if you do not have this road guide, sorry, then you will honestly stay at home.
Moreover, the effect of the road guide is also very limited, basically it will give you three days and five days, and you are only allowed to run between the two places specified in the road guide, under such a system, the peasants and people in the world are fixed in their own land step by step, and there will be no possibility of evolving into homeless people.
Successive dynasties and dynasties were highly sensitive to the displaced people, and the displaced people had no household registration and had no way to verify it, so they wandered around, causing trouble, and if they were not careful, they would gather together to rebel.
Therefore, the verification of the road guide in all dynasties and dynasties is quite strict, even if these robbers rob the child, he can't do the road guide, he can't get out.
Then some readers may ask, saying that it can't be, I remember that there was a famous traveler Xu Xiake in the Ming Dynasty, who walked around all day long, and no one stopped him.
It is true that Xu Xiake has traveled all over the world and has never done a road guide, but the problem is that the era in which Xu Xiake lived was the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and the institutional system of the Ming Dynasty was basically paralyzed at that time.
The history books do not record the specific time of Xun Tai's loss of the child, but it probably happened between 455 A.D. and 525 A.D.
Xu Xiake seated portrait).
In 455 AD, it was the second year of Xingguang in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and in 525 AD, it was the sixth year of Zhengguang in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
These seventy years are just a microcosm of the Northern Wei Dynasty's development and prosperity to collapse and decline.
The best emperor in the history of the Northern Wei Dynasty is the Xiaowen Emperor Tuoba Hong, that is, Yuan Hong, he has been known in his life as the Seven Temples of Yangon, the ambition of Fu Ji Cangsheng, the implementation of Sinicization reform, and the lifelong food and clothing is exhaustive, but he does not know that in just over 30 years after his death, the unprecedentedly powerful Northern Wei Dynasty has fallen apart.
Scholars generally believe that the death of Emperor Xiaoming Yuanxu is regarded as the beginning of the collapse of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but in 525, the emperor was not dead, which shows that the dynasty at that time was barely able to support.
The court has etiquette, the society has a system, and the people have legal principles, so after Xun Tai found his child, he immediately sued Zhao Fengbo to the government.
However, the child is only three years old and has no memory, he followed Xun Tai and thought that Xun Tai was his father, and after following Zhao Fengbo for a period of time, he forgot Xun Tai and thought that Zhao Fengbo was his father, so although Zhao Fengbo was accused of the yamen, he insisted that Xun Tai recognized the wrong child, and this child was his own.
After all, the ancient conditions were limited, he didn't test his DNA, the case went to the county, the county order could not be solved, and he reported to the county guard at the next level, and the county guard had nothing to do, so he had to report it again, and directly reported it to the court.
The emperor had a lot of opportunities, and of course he didn't have time to deal with this kind of thing, so this case was temporarily assigned to Li Chong, the minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Li Chong) Li Chong, the word Jichang, a native of Dunqiu County, Liyang County, he is the nephew of the Empress Yuan of Emperor Wencheng of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Li Chong is a person with a flexible mind, he has handled many cases before, and he is a man and a person, and he is very thoughtful.
For example, when he was in charge of governing Yanzhou (a large area between the ancient Yellow River and Jishui), Yanzhou bandits were very frequent and acted quickly.
Yanzhou, it does not refer to a specific place, but refers to a geographical range, including the western part of Shandong, the southeast of Hebei, and the eastern part of Henan, such a large piece of land, bandits are running around to commit crimes, you want to say to catch, in fact, it is not easy to catch, because there are too many places involved, supervision and capture, that also requires costs.
The war in the Northern Wei Dynasty was tight, and he wanted to compete for land with the Southern Dynasty regime, so the army was empty, and the manpower was also lacking, and the government did not have so many servants to arrest the thieves, so it was necessary for the ** people from all over Yanzhou to find their own way.
Of course, later, this method was thought up by Li Chong.
First of all, Li Chong asked all parts of Yanzhou to take the village as a unit, each village should build a drum tower that can be climbed high and overlooked, with a wide field of vision, and can be easily observed, on the drum tower, two people are left on duty every day, they are specifically responsible for observing on the drum tower, where there are thieves, the people on the drum tower will knock on the gong that has been placed in advance, the people in the village hear the gong, immediately guard the main road in the village, and chase and intercept the thieves, the people in the surrounding villages hear the gong, and also follow the gong, and the surrounding villages of the surrounding villages hear and follow the knock, so often as long as a village finds a bandit, the sound of the gong can spread all over the hundred miles, which plays a role in early warning and linkage, especially for a vast area like Yanzhou, after adopting this method, the banditry in Yanzhou quickly disappeared.
Drum Tower) Li Chong has governed Yanzhou and Yangzhou, and Yangzhou's governance office is Shouchun, so the case of losing the child is also his own job.
Li Chong is not a pure civil servant, but the kind of literary and martial arts type, he has fought on the battlefield, especially with the Southern Dynasty and the Southern Liang has fought many hard battles, with brilliant achievements, highlighting a good defense, the game is very stable, often so that the enemy army has no way to start, so he also has the title of "Crouching Tiger".
He can fight a war on a horse and govern the government when he gets off a horse, so a talent with outstanding ability and all-round development often looks at problems from the perspective of others.
When the county magistrate took over the case, he mainly determined who was the father from the three-year-old child.
But the problem is that the three-year-old child is unscrupulous, and he has no logic in speaking, so it is very difficult to sort out the facts of the case.
As for the county guard, he found a breakthrough from the parties Xun Tai and Zhao Fengbo, but the problem is that both of them have their own opinions, and there are neighbors and family members who testify, both of them are conclusive, so they can't make a conclusion.
When the case fell into the hands of Li Chong, Li Chong's actions were very strange, first, he did not interrogate Xun Tai and Zhao Fengbo, and second, he did not send officials to the people to investigate, but only kept the three-year-old child alone in the government for more than ten days, and especially emphasized that Xun Tai and Zhao Fengbo were not allowed to meet with this child, and they were not even allowed to know any news about this child within more than ten days.
After more than ten days passed, Li Chong suddenly pretended to be very secretive and released a news, that is: The child was not well raised in the official mansion, and he had a vicious illness that could not be treated, and he had died.
Before the news was released, Li Chong had already laid eyeliner beside Xun Tai and Zhao Fengbo to observe their every move.
Xun Tai heard that the child died, then he felt that the sky had fallen, and he started crying when he fell to the ground.
The author himself is not married, and of course he has no children, so the author can't actually understand the pain of losing a child.
But the author once had a cousin whose son who had just been born was called his father when he was called leukemia, and after several cures, he eventually left him.
My cousin used to weigh more than 180 pounds, but after losing his son, his weight plummeted, and when I saw him again half a year later, there was only 100 pounds left.
Of course, the emotions can't be quantified, but the eighty catties that disappeared are real, the emotions of missing their son.
On the other hand, this Zhao Fengbo, although he heard that the child died of illness, although he also showed a sad appearance, but he was not full of emotions and unreal, he just didn't say a word for a long time, and then sighed sadly for a few times and then didn't make much action.
Yes, it wasn't his child in the first place, and that kind of emotion can't be faked or pretended.
In the end, Zhao Fengbo admitted that the child was abducted by himself, and Xun Tai finally wanted his child back and returned home happily.
In 525 AD, the Li Chong in the story died of illness.
Li Chongqi, on the whole, is a gentle person, good at criminal cases, and this life can be regarded as a general.
Three years after Li Chong's death, Emperor Yuanxu of Xiaoming of the Northern Wei Dynasty also died, and in the same year, the Heyin Revolution broke out in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the glory of the dynasty was no longer there.
