Chapter 166 The Grand Trial in Beijing (8)
Section 166: Beijing Zhongzhong Grand Review (8)
At that time, there was already a buzzing noise outside, and there was an expression of excitement. Some felt incredible, some were boasting about Wei Zhenkui's skills, some were excited for Yang Naiwu and Xiao Baicai, some were scolding Liu Xitong, some were praising the wise and some were praising the officials of the Ministry of Justice; and the unanimous concern was how the case ended.
Seeing that the order could not be maintained, I had to instruct the officers sent by the two counties to come forward and suppress them. First, they shouted loudly, "Don't speak! Don't speak!" Then they waved the heads of the crowd with a long whip, and suddenly they became silent.
It was already afternoon, and when it was getting dark, I was about to withdraw from the house quickly. The day focused on the inspection. Although there were already results, there were still procedures: all coroners in Shuntian Prefecture and a group of witnesses, including the relatives of the coroners of Yuhang County, Chen Xiang, Yang, and Ge families, must ask one by one if you have any objections to the conclusion that the test result is "bone white and non-toxic"?
This is not to be asked, even Chen Xiang bowed his head and said nothing, so he made a decision and announced his withdrawal. At this time, the twilight had already appeared, and the members of the Ministry of Justice took a car and went home first, leaving the officer to clean up the mess until it was dark and the matter was over.
"There was finally a result." Gangyi was exhausted, "It will be a few days of relaxation."
"It may not be." Weng Zenggui stopped him, "Although the test has resulted, the difficult thing is in full swing."
Gangyi was shocked, "What?"
"How many people do you think will be involved in this case?"
"I know that we are committing crimes according to the law, regardless of governors, academic affairs, and official affairs."
Weng Zenggui laughed at it, "Okay, Brother Ziliang, do you want to try it?"
Gangyi couldn't help but be angry when he heard him speak like this. The next morning, he arrived at the yamen, drafted a memorial, and asked Weng Zenggui to carry the letter to the court, demanding a judgment.
Shaoqi looked at the memorial and found that in addition to Liu Xitong's dismissal, others such as Yang Changjun, Hu Ruilan, Chen Lu, and Bian Baocheng all cited the laws of the second year of Yongzheng to investigate and investigate.
Shaoqi is a confused insect. In the past few days, Baoqi has invited him to the mansion many times, asking him to take care of him from all sides, and at least he should make Liu Xitong's crime lighter. However, Shaoqi has no talent for knowledge and no trick to make perfunctory skills, so he had to say vaguely, "Look, look again, look again, the case is about to be concluded anyway?"
Tangyi was very dissatisfied, but he had no choice but to wait a few days before talking about it.
At this time, something happened. Henan Governor Yu Lu changed his transfer to Shandong. He was the son of Hubei Governor Chonglun, a famous Hanlin who was not familiar with him. He read "Records of the Grand Historian? Book of Fengshan" and was confused and thought that he was a book of heaven.
The governor was transferred and the governor was asked to ask for an order to ask for advice. When he arrived in Beijing, he happened to catch a grand event in Hui Temple in Shanghai. He was dissatisfied with the Ministry of Justice's intervention in the case and believed that the Ministry of Justice had violated the governor's rights and responsibilities too much. At this time, he became more angry when he learned the result of the re-examination.
"This is simply nonsense!" He shouted loudly into the room, "After three years of death, the poison has disappeared long ago, and the bones naturally turn white. How can this be the truth of the case?"
Although he was disrespectful to speak like this, it was a one-man statement after all. Shaoqi could ignore him. However, the two lakes' court members came to the same agreement, because in this case, Yang Changjun and Hu Ruilan were from Hunan and Hubei. The two lakes' great fellow townsmen were trying to save these two people but failed. With Yu Lu's words, they were just right and planned to submit a memorial to the officials of the Ministry of Justice.
Shaoqi was very nervous and scared. One day, he met Yu Lu at a social event and wanted to give an explanation, but he couldn't let him speak at all. Yu Lu said arrogantly, "How can you make a case happen? You are so confused! If this continues, can the foreign officials still do it?"
Shaoqi then realized that the case was rehabilitated and offended all the governors and became more and more afraid. He returned to the ministry and found the officers of the Zhejiang Department. "This case is intended to rehabilitate the injustice. Since Yang Naiwu and Gebi have already made it clear, we can stop it, right?"
Weng Zenggui pondered without saying a word, but Gangyi asked straightforwardly, "How do you call me a stop at the right time?"
"It means, don't involve too much."
"Yes." Gangyi said deliberately, "No one outsider is involved; no one insider cannot escape!"
Shaoqi said something to him very confused: Are Yang Changjun and Hu Ruilan considered outsiders? He blinked hard, unable to tell what the words of Gangyi meant.
Gangyi ignored these things and insisted on conviction according to the law, so there was no need to worry about it; but Weng Zenggui got a lot of knowledge from his uncle Weng Tonghe. This case is no longer purely rehabilitation of injustice, but just a case in the name of the criminal name. It has already involved the overall situation!
First of all, the two lakes are fighting against Jiangsu and Zhejiang. These two provinces are places where troops are used in Japan to cooperate with the salary, which is very important; but they focus differently. Zhejiang is mainly the Northern Army of the Northern Army of the Two Lakes.
The Southern Army was moving very quickly and progressing smoothly. Li Hongzhang made a fortune in Sanyuan City. The court repeatedly issued edicts and rewards. Under the feeling of honor, officials from the two lakes seemed to be much more arrogant when they walked out.
The situation in Zhejiang is a little more difficult. Hu Damao is loyal and upright, and he doesn't know how to do these actions of fishing out of the waters. He has a lot of resentment. He and Yulu have a good personal relationship, and the latter is also the head of a provincial leader who helps with responsibilities. When the two talk about the difficulties of being a governor, they even asked for advice.
As a result, many Beijing officials became a little uneasy. Because of the power of the governor, the common people suffered. Yu Lu said this. If he did not control his system slightly, the people would have no room for confession. Therefore, the person named Bian Baoquan drafted another memorial and specially invited his in-laws, the Jiangnan Censor named Wang Xin, to come forward and submit it.
There are two reasons for doing this. First, he has already submitted a very harsh comment. If he continues to submit it again, it will give people the impression that he cannot get along with someone. Second, Wang Xin is from Suzhou, and he can show that he is a ruling and suppressing the right to governors and the public opinion of the censors of Zhili. I expect that Yulu will be restrained.
Bian Baoquan is a Qingliujian pen in the capital, and the writing is very cruel. The memorial begins with the saying, "I am foolish, and I think it is a crime for the ministers to be the most guilty of the ministers, and the Ji Gang is the power to control the subordinates. My emperor clearly stated the punishment and the law, so those who repeatedly sought it was trying to extend the world and hold the warning in the future. It is not only for the case of Gebi, but also for the wrong reasons."
Next, Bifeng targeted Yang Changjun and Hu Ruilan. He said, "Inspecting this case, he ordered the ministers to verify it in detail before and the Qin sent the ministers to review it later. How should he carefully study it and serve as a deputy commissioner? Unexpectedly, he betrayed the law and acted in a favorable manner, and he distorted the right and wrong. As for this, after investigation by the Ministry of Justice, Ge Pinlian died of illness, so he originally planned to confess evidence, and he was fabricated. He did not ask. He used a person who died of illness to wove innocent people and trained himself into prison, and forced him to admit Lingchi's serious punishment. Liu Xitong was indestructible, but he did not understand Yang Changjun. As a minister, Hu Ruilan was a minister and accepted strict orders. How could he bear to be compared with friends? "
The emperor read "The more he liked it in his heart! Bian Baoquan was really sensible. He knew that he wanted to deal with a lot of people, so he submitted such a memorial? Looking further down, we will discuss the crimes of Yang Changjun and Hu Ruilan. It seems that he was a strict blame on Hu Ruilan, but in fact it was a sensational or accusation of Yang Changjun.
Accuse Hu Ruilan of being misconduct, "Hu Ruilan accepted this case and tried to force confessions to the death, for fear of reversal, which was already absurd. However, after reviewing this article, he dared to be angry and be stubborn and ended up being stubborn! He said, "Although there is an ambiguity between the present and the first confession, it has nothing to do with the crime. He also asked the provinces to follow the law and order. He knew that this case was all false, and he was quibbling and confused, and his heart was particularly unquestionable!"
The accusation of Yang Changjun was not so arrogant, and was the purpose of suppressing the chief officials in the border areas. "Yang Changjun was ordered to submit someone's testimony to the Ministry of Justice, and he even publicly denounced that 'the right offender should be used as a basis for the right crime, and they all complained, and they were only burdened'! It was said that the Ministry of Justice should not ask for the mention, and my emperor should not allow it. Is there still a court in his heart?"
The impeachment memorials that appeared in such words have raised Yang Changjun's remarks several times to the point of contempt for the court and being disobedient. The emperor naturally knew that Bian Baoquan's memorial was a bit impressive. Yang Changjun was either arrogant, but he would never dare to have the idea of being disobedient!
However, he had to re-handle the Yang Naiwu case, not for the injustice of Zhejiang student - Yang Naiwu and Xiao Baicai's life and death. After thinking about the book for a long time, the emperor felt that the matter had been going to be at the moment, and it was time to end.
The next morning, the Military Affairs Office came in and the emperor formally asked about the case. Yi was in an official tone, "As usual, first- and second-rank officials should be punished and ordered to handle it, but the punishment comes based on the charges; it is not appropriate to lose money, but it is not appropriate to lose money. The situation of this case must be considered and decided before the purpose can be submitted."
The emperor ignored him and asked Zhu Guangdi, "What do you think?"
"I think it's better to discuss things on the matter and not to do anything else."
The emperor said, "It is naturally a safe way to discuss things, but think about it, just like Yang Changjun and Hu Ruilan, who have brought the charges for Ye Yang and Yang Zhan's two times to Beijing. If you don't mention you, even I have issued an edict twice, and ordered the whole country of Zhejiang to study the rituals seriously, in order to explain the people in one fell swoop. What is the final result? Isn't it that the city is full of storms, and everyone knows it?"
His tone was cold and said, "From this level alone, Yang and Hu's two crimes of deception should not be spared easily!"
Yi's expression changed. If he was to judge the crime like this, how could these two people live? He glanced at Sushun, looked at his nose and his mouth, and stood there like a wooden sculpture, but he seemed to be no surprise to the emperor's words? He knew that the king and his minister must have answered!
I heard the emperor continue to say, "I have been in the dynasty for thirty years. You can also be an old minister who has been with him for many years. Tell me, the Qing Dynasty, is the rioter who acted as ruthlessly as Yang Changjun, who does not take the court or take my glorious edict seriously?"
Yi and a few were stunned and hesitating to say something, Su Shun suddenly stepped forward, "The emperor is the lord of the world, and the world is in charge; Yang Changjun, Hu Ruilan and others acted unlawful and repeatedly fought against the saint's orders. Why should the emperor be angry about such a rebellious minister? There are rules and regulations on the left and right, and the punishment will be punished according to the law."
"Also, Yu Lu can't let go easily! If you say that this case is over, the foreign officials cannot do it? It's extremely arrogant. If you have a bastard, I will kill another one. It's a joke! As long as you are dedicated to serving the people, fairness and freedom in the hearts of the people, what does it mean to do it? Didn't he say 'not do it'? Let him stay in the imperial prison of the Ministry of Justice and let him be cool! I don't believe it. If you don't have him, will you have to eat a pig with hair?"
