Chapter 169 Trial

Liang Shixun, the governor of Anhui, was named Tingyong, and was from Sanyuan County, Xi'an Prefecture. His father Liang Jiaqi was the commander of the Shu army. Liang Shixun was appointed as the magistrate of the first-rank Yinsheng. He served as the Minister of Justice and was appointed as the magistrate of the Ministry of Justice. He was appointed as the magistrate of Changzhou Prefecture and was promoted to the magistrate of Lianghuai Salt Transportation. He was then promoted to the magistrate of Shandong and was transferred to the governor of Anhui. In the 50th year of Kangxi, he was promoted to the governor.

Yinzhen, Zhang Pengheng, and Zhang Boxing's actions were soon reported to Liang Shixun. He thought for a moment, but did not dare to neglect, so he rushed over to discuss with Gali. Both of them were shocked and suspicious. After a little discussion, they rushed to the palace school, which was no later than Zhang Boxing. [.]

Yinzhen and the other two had just talked in Minglun Hall for a few words, and then they heard the news that the two of them came to report to Gali, the governor of Liangjiang and Liang Shixun, the governor of Anhui, had already arrived at the gate of the prefecture school. When the three of them heard the news, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they all thought to themselves that the two of them were coming so quickly.

Zhang Penghong frowned slightly. The two of them came so quickly that they naturally sent someone to pay attention to their actions. They couldn't help but feel a little angry. They glanced at Yinzhen, but saw that he looked as usual. They couldn't help but sigh a little relieved. Then they gave Zhang Boxing a wink. Zhang Boxing understood and bowed, "Prince, Zhang Zhongtang sit down, and the official went to welcome him."

Yinzhen said slightly, "Yes, he is your immediate boss, it's better to welcome him, and the courtesy should not be abandoned."

After Zhang Boxing left, Zhang Penghong said, "Prince, this night trial is probably incomplete. Only the second batch of students will be held... Will the trial continue?"

Yinzhen pondered and said, "This is the time when these students are most afraid of, and it is the best time to interrogate. Since all four of you presided over the trial have arrived, just open the trial."

But after a moment, Gali and his men entered Minglun Hall. After seeing the ceremony, Zhang Penghong took the initiative and said, "Master Ga, Lord Liang's journey is so fast. I will tell you that the two servants will go out in just two quarters of an hour. You will be there. Did you meet on the way?"

Although Gali was domineering and arrogant, he did not dare to be arrogant in front of Yinzhen and Zhang Pengfeng. He heard that Zhang Pengfeng's words implicitly accused them of surveillance of the imperial envoy, and he was reluctant to give them a handle. He hurriedly said, "The trial is imminent, and there are many people detained in the government school. The subordinates are worried about the soldiers on duty. The yamen runners are lazy and have omissions. They specially invited Lord Liang to come and inspect. Unexpectedly, the prince, Zhongtang, and Lord Zhang are all here." He smiled slightly before continuing, "Zhang Zhongtang said just now, "Is there any mistake?"

"Yeah, there are indeed mistakes." Zhang Penghong nodded slightly, "I heard that a custodian had bribed the guards' guards and secretly rushed to the scene. He rushed to the scene because he had violated the guards as the prince's escort, so he spread the news about the prince."

Liang Shixun continued, "When I just entered the hospital, I heard that someone was being tortured. I wonder who was being interrogated?"

After glanced at Liang Shixun, Yinzhen said lightly: "That is the king who is implementing family law. Are Lord Liang interested in watching?"

Liang Shixun couldn't help but suffocate and bowed quickly and said, "I heard for a long time that the prince was rigorous in his rule. When I saw him today, it was indeed worthy of his reputation..."

Seeing that Yinzhen was showing signs of a thrust, Gali quickly changed the topic, "Zhang Zhongtang, did he interrogate the student who was secretly confessing?"

"The private confession is very serious, so we must be interrogated immediately." Zhang Penghong said slowly: "These students were as timid as mice. After the first trial, they even told the fraud of the scientific examination. As soon as I saw the confession, I condemned people to inform them. Now that the chief judges have arrived, they might as well make a sudden trial overnight. What do you think?"

Yinzhen was busy beating the drums beside him, "Zhang Zhongtang was loyal to the state affairs, worked diligently, and tried the case day and night. I will return to the capital to report to the emperor truthfully."

When Gali and others heard this, they couldn't help but mutter in their hearts. If they had to disagree, wouldn't they just confirm a comment of "sentence to the office"? He was unhappy and bowed and said, "The sudden trial was made overnight, and the Xiaguan and others had no objection. However, the prince was slightly ill, and Zhang Zhongtang was old again. How could the Xiaguan and others bear it? Besides, the case of the Jiangnan Science Examination in Yangzhou has been made public to the world. If the trial of private night is easy to attract material discussions."

Yinzhen was not interested in the interrogation of the student. Seeing Gali allusion to him, he said reservedly: "I came overnight to punish the personal guards. This matter has been settled. I am sick again. I suddenly tried it all night and stopped watching."

Zhang Penghong said calmly: "Although the government is old, the emperor's order is here, and he dare not slackew. The trial is not a public trial. Even if it is public trial, not all trial processes must be made public. Besides, the interrogation practitioners do not require us to personally review. We only need to collect confessions and draw up tomorrow's trial plan."

After saying that, Zhang Penghu bowed to Yinzhen and said, "The emperor respectfully gave him Prince Xun." Gali and others were also busy bowing and giving him respectfully.

The next morning, Yinzhen came to the prefecture school. Zhang Pengfeng, Gali, Zhang Boxing, and Liang Shixun hurriedly came to greet him. The four of them stayed up all night, and their expressions were a little tired. After entering the house, they did not ask Yinzhen, and Zhang Pengfeng bowed and said, "Prince, yesterday, I interrogated all the fraudsters overnight. Twenty-three people confessed to bribing the examiner 30,000 yuan, and confessed that the managers were Wu Mi, Cheng Guangkui and Xu Zongxuan. However, the three students only accepted fraud and did not accept the bribery."

Yinzhen nodded slightly. It is reasonable for the three of them to bear the responsibility. Once such a big bribe case is revealed, it is inevitable that they will die. It would be strange if they don’t bear it. After glanced at the four of them, he asked, “What are the plans for today?”

Zhang Penghong said: "The four officials have discussed and moved to the Yangzhou government office to continue the interrogation."

The news of the four presiding officials' trial of the Jiangnan scientific expedition case in Yangzhou Prefecture Office soon spread. The wide range of people involved in this case and the great influence were unique. As soon as the news spread, the Yangzhou Prefecture Office was soon filled with crowds of people watching, and there was still a steady stream of people coming from behind, and soon even the street where the government office was located was crowded with people.

During this interrogation, Yinzhen's case table was placed on the side of the presiding judge Zhang Penghong's desk. Yinzhen did not submit to the order to try the case or supervise it, but no one dared to object to the identity there.

The first person to interrogate was Wu Mi. This man was in his early thirties and looked pretty. After last night's interrogation, he was much calmer. After the routine interrogation, he insisted that he was just a right person to write on behalf of others, and refused to admit his account of bribing the examiner.

Wu Mi is one of the three students who have bribed the examiner. If he doesn't ask, the case will not be investigated. Yinzhen glanced at Zhang Penghong and then looked at Wu Mi. It seems that it would be impossible to do without punishment. Sure enough, Zhang Penghong slapped the gavel and shouted: "Come on, drag it down, the Grand Prisoner."

"Let's go." Anhui Governor Liang Shixun shouted lightly, turned around and bowed, "Mr. Zhongtang, the onlooker is very serious. Although the suspect Wu Mi has a reputation, he must be reprimanded, but he has not yet been reprimanded. After all, he has been rashly used to punish him. Once he arouses dissatisfaction with the gentry and arouses public anger, the consequences will be unimaginable. I hope Zhongtang will think twice."

Liang Shixun's words were reasonable. Zhang Pengchong glanced at the dark heads outside the hall, and hesitated slightly. Gali and Zhang Boxing were also silent.

Yinzhen glanced at a few people and then used torture after being dismissed from fame and fortune. I am afraid that there will be more dreams in the night and he has no time to stay in Yangzhou. With a slightly frowning, he interrupted and asked slowly, "Zhang Zhongtang, how should students be punished according to the law?"

Zhang Penghong was happy when he heard this, and said, "Who dares to say more from this law? He hurriedly replied: "Reply to the prince, the students are cheating, and they can be punished according to the law, according to the law, and they can be punished with shackles, reprimands, and criminal responsibility."

Yinzhen nodded slightly and said lightly: "Reprimands of revolution are a matter of studying politics. Criminal responsibility is a humiliation of ethics. Standing cages are also shackles. So I will be punished as a cage, so I will not be humiliated. Judging from his tall figure, I don't need to put bricks. There are two students behind me to be tried, so don't delay time for him."

When Zhang Pengheng heard this, he realized that Yinzhen was going to kill the chicken and scare the monkey. He first solved the other two, and then went back to gnaw this hard bone. He shouted: "Come here, Wu Bi, a student, made a lie in the psychiatric examination. The circumstances are serious and the impact is bad. Now it has been found out, and the suspect has confessed and is trying to stand for a day to serve as a warning to others."

At this time, Liang Shixun had nothing to say, but when he heard that bricks were not allowed, the few people were happy and worried, even though they looked normal, they felt happy and worried. Seeing that no one spoke out, the yamen runners immediately brought the stand cage and stuffed Wu Mi in. Wu Mi was quite tall, but after entering the stand cage, he still had to weigh his toes and just enough to get up, and immediately felt terrified and uneasy.

But Zhang Penghong ignored him and shouted, "Take a suspect in the fraud in the scientific examination, and the student Cheng Guangkui came to the court."

Cheng Guangkui was only thirty years old, with a medium figure and a poor appearance. When he was taken up, he had already seen Wu Mi's fate. They were all used to standing cages. They glanced at their feet habitually. When they saw that they didn't even have half a brick, their hearts immediately jumped. If he didn't have bricks, he would probably have to finish it in two quarters of an hour. As soon as he entered the class, he became weak all over and couldn't help but kneel down.

When Yinzhen saw this, he was delighted. The case was broken down on this guy. Before Zhang Penghong could speak, he sighed softly: "Justice, the emperor, is a polite person, Jiangnan scientific examination, bet on buying, bribing the examiner, and secretly clearing the joints. The crime is with the examiner. I am just a student, so why bother to seek death?"

Cheng Guangkui was already frightened, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately saw hope. He was just bribing the examiner and secretly clearing the joints. Even if he confessed, he was just exiled. He had money at home, so he could handle it and came back in a few years. Why bother to bear it? If he lost his life, he would be really tragic to die in vain.

Cheng Guangkui was about to speak, but it was a "bang" sound, but it was a snatched wood taken by Galli, the Governor of Liangjiang. "The suspect Cheng Guangkui, the current scientific investigation case in Jiangnan, is a rare case in Jiangnan. The emperor was furious when he heard about it. Qin sent the imperial envoy to try this case. You must confess truthfully and not make false accusations, otherwise the crime will be even higher."
