Chapter 207: Criminal Department
"And you, Ayuan, what did your grandfather tell you last time? Tell you not to provoke that girl, you take your grandfather's words as a deaf ear, right? Since you can't listen to your grandfather's words, your grandfather won't talk about you anymore in the future. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
As soon as Wang Yuan heard this, she knew that her grandfather was disappointed in her, and I was afraid that she would not care about her from now on. The Wang family is prosperous, and she still has many brothers and sisters, and if she is missing, there will naturally be many people to fill her place in her grandfather's heart.
Without her grandfather's favor, would the rest of the family still think of her as usual?
Wang Yuan walked a few steps on her knees, raised a small face, and cried: "Grandfather, granddaughter knows ...... wrong"
Wang Jingze was up and down in the sea of the two dynasties, and when she saw her expression, she knew that she was still unconvinced, sighed in her heart, shook her head and said no more, turned her head to the eldest son and said: "Things are already like this, let's think about countermeasures." ”
"Why don't we withdraw the lawsuit?" and just say that it has just been found out that Sister-in-law Chen died of a sudden illness?" Wang Fuli said uncertainly.
"I can't withdraw it, I don't believe it, just a corpse, what can she find!" Madame Wang said sharply.
Wang Fuli glanced at his father and looked at his wife with disgust, and immediately shouted: "Shut up! What do you know? It's not all stupid things you do!"
Mrs. Wang was scolded by her husband in front of her daughter, and some of her faces couldn't hold back, her face turned red, and she was about to open her mouth when she raised her eyebrows.
Wang Jing really didn't want to look at her, waved his hand and frowned, "Get out!"
Mrs. Wang's face turned red, she didn't dare to disobey when she opened her mouth, and got up with her daughter and walked out of the room with her back stiff.
When the mother and daughter were gone, the father and son discussed a remedy together.
Since the matter has caused the stupid woman in the family to make such a scene, withdrawing the lawsuit is tantamount to bowing her head first and admitting her cowardice, which makes people despise the Wang family. In addition, people will think that the Wang family will tell first and then withdraw the lawsuit, is it idle to play with the criminal department, or not to take the official weapons of the court in their eyes?
This crime is not something that the Wang family can afford.
"The trial will start tomorrow morning, and there is still one night, so why don't you send someone into the morgue of the Criminal Department and burn the body at night. Can a charred corpse find out the cause of death?"
"Stupid! Isn't there no three hundred taels of silver here? That's the Criminal Department, it's not a horn, and if you find out, it's a big deal. Originally, our family just lost its ugliness, and in this way, our family will lose its official position at least and lose its life at worst!"
As soon as he heard what his father said, Wang Fuli immediately realized that he had made a stupid move.
The father and son discussed for a long time and made some remedial measures, but time was tight, and many things were too late to do, so they could only do their best to obey the fate of heaven.
Early the next morning, the gate of the Criminal Department was lively like a market, and the people rushed here one after another, surrounding the open space outside the Criminal Department with three layers inside and three layers outside.
Dugu Weiwei took Du Yan and Ding Ding, and the old lady and the old lady were not worried about their granddaughter, so the old lady also came with him.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, he heard someone behind him shouting: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drove to ---- Her Royal Highness Princess Yongjia drove to ----."
When I looked back, I saw Xiao Duo and Xiao Jun galloping forward.
Dugu Weiwei greeted him and asked Xiao Duo, who was dismounting, "Your Highness, why are you here too?"
Xiao Duo said with a smile: "Miss Dugu Er, who heard that she went to the Criminal Department today to defend herself, came to see the excitement. ”
Dugu Weiwei glanced at him thoughtfully. The death of a domestic servant was a bit unexpected to alarm the prince.
Xiao Jun looked at her complexion and asked, "How are you, are you okay?"
Dugu Weiwei smiled and thanked him, saying that he was in good health. No matter how much the two of them laugh and laugh in private, they still pay attention to their words and deeds on such occasions.
The old lady hurriedly stepped forward to see the prince and the princess, and the people also knelt on the ground.
Xiao Duo personally helped the old lady to get up, and took the lead in passing through the separated crowd into the lobby.
Dugu Weiwei glanced at the main hall of the Criminal Department, a slightly chubby middle-aged man stood at the foot of the hall, with a short beard under his chin, and a dough-like mass of harmony, but a pair of thin eyes occasionally flickered to show that this person was by no means as kind as he seemed on the surface.
Beside him stood a man in his forties, of medium to low stature, extremely thin, with a cowering and obscene look.
Dugu Weiwei glanced at him, his eyes were just dodging, and then he quickly lowered his head to avoid.
On both sides of the lobby, there are two shifts of officials, each holding a water and fire stick, standing neatly.
At this moment, an official wearing a purple official robe and a goldfish bag on his waist strode out of the inner hall and greeted Xiao Duo and bowed to him.
Dugu Wei was the only one stunned, didn't he say that Lord Lang Zhong of the Criminal Department was in charge of the trial? Why did he change the Shangshu of the Criminal Department to go into battle in person? The one who died was really a servant woman, right? Isn't it some incognito big man?
The officials of the Great Wei Dynasty were dressed in purple and decorated with goldfish bags. And in the entire Criminal Department, only Master Shangshu is a third-grade person, wearing a purple official robe. So Dugu Weiwei will not admit his mistake.
It was Qu Zhonghuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who came out.
After seeing the prince and the princess, Qu Zhonghuan asked people to add two seats on each side of the presiding case, and asked Xiao Duo to sit in the center, and he and Xiao Jun sat on both sides. Then a few more seats were set up on both sides and the old lady was invited to sit.
The case of Feng Zhihe's killing of Baizhu that Quan Shi handled last time was actually solved by Dugu Weiwei, Qu Zhonghuan knew about it, and he was very curious about this little girl at that time, and he still had some admiration in his heart.
Yesterday's Ruan Sanlang case, he also quickly got detailed information, Dugu Weiwei's criminal investigation department and the methods used to solve the case, made him keenly aware that this little girl is probably the key figure in the development of Da Wei's criminal name.
To sum up the above reasons, as soon as he heard that Duguwei only wanted to go to court to defend himself, he took over the case in person, so that he could get close to this magical little girl to see if people were exaggerating or really capable.
Qu Zhonghuan sat down in the hall, glanced at Dugu Weiwei, who was standing in the middle without being in a hurry or impatient, with a relaxed expression and a smile on his face, and nodded secretly in his heart. Fang was ready to open the hall and listen to the report of the officials, and Mu Yi and Expedient had arrived before and after.
Qu Zhonghuan didn't know why these two came, and he was still puzzled, so he listened to Dugu Weiwei and said: "Lord Qiyu, Master Mu is a witness invited by the little woman, and the eldest prince was also present yesterday, so it is expected that he is also here to testify for the little woman." Please allow the two sons to enter. ”
Qu Zhonghuan said in his heart, it seems that this little girl has a lot of friends.
Mu Yi and Expedient's status is precious, although they did not enter the office, they all have knighthoods, so they did not stand in the hall like ordinary witnesses, and were also extended into the seats on both sides.
Dugu Wei only bowed and thanked the two.
Expedient, the lobby of the Criminal Department is his own backyard, and said with a smile: "My son once said that if I want to fight a lawsuit, my son will definitely give a witness to the second lady, which is not easy." ”
Dugu Weiwei smiled and thanked again.
At this moment, she found that there were several people in official uniforms sitting in the shadows on both sides, and there were pen, ink, paper and inkstones in front of the case, and Quan Shizhi was also among them.
