Chapter 333: Hanging
But Shunzong has had a severe stroke when he ascended the throne, and only half a year as the emperor gave the throne to the crown prince Li Chun, Li Chun was grateful to Wu Yuanheng for serving the lord after ascending the throne, so he relocated him to the imperial history of Zhongcheng, and also served as a servant of the household department, and was the fourth product.
At the beginning of this year, Jing Zhaoyin's position was vacant, and the Holy Lord immediately promoted him to this, and now he is from the third grade.
I don't know when Jing Zhaoyin's candidates began to change frequently, and it has only been two years since the saint ascended the throne, but Jing Zhaoyin has changed four terms. And all these four terms were promoted without exception, and everyone figured out the Sacred Heart, and they knew that the Son of Heaven was using this official position as a promotion level.
Therefore, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wu Yuanheng has a sacred heart. Even if he can't be promoted for a while, Jing Zhaoyin is also an excellent official position, with great power, under the jurisdiction of more than 20 counties, including the two counties of Chang'an, in charge of the people, finance, materials, military, political, and legal powers in the jurisdiction, which can be described as a big member at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
And Wu Yuanheng was able to sit in the position of Jing Zhaoyin smoothly, and he had the full support of the Guo family in the court, so he respected the eldest princess of Hanyang very much, both in public and private.
Naturally, Xi Lingyue didn't know the inside story, she just heard that the eldest princess didn't call Wu Yuanheng's official position, but called the table, and she knew that the relationship between the two was good. Thinking like this, she was even more worried that Wu Yuanheng would "tell the truth", so she couldn't help but quietly probe and look at her.
Wu Yuanheng understood, as if he had never seen Xiling Yue, and greeted her: "Presumably this is the county lord of Xichuan?" Xia Guan has already heard that you are like a god in judging cases, and I really admire you very much. ”
Xiling Yue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, knowing that Adu's matter had been revealed, and she replied politely and reservedly: "Where, Wu Yinjing has a good reputation." ”
Yin Jing is the honorific title for Jing Zhao Yin, the chief official of Jingzhao Mansion.
The eldest princess was unceremonious, and expressed her dissatisfaction with Wu Yuanheng: "Since you know that Yue'er is like a god in judging the case, why are your people still stopping us?" Can't you just go to the temple and have a look? ”
Wu Yuanheng showed a little embarrassment: "It's not that the subordinate officials are not emotional, but they are really the right to manage this case...... The jury is still out. ”
The eldest princess was very puzzled: "The murder case in Wannian County, shouldn't Wannian County be in charge?" Happens to be your subordinate. ”
Chang'an City takes Zhuque Street as the central axis and is divided into two counties, east and west, Chang'an County to the west and Wannian County to the east. Anguo Temple is located in the northeast corner of Chang'an City, just in Wannian County.
"Ke'an Guo Temple is worshiped by the royal family, and the one who died was sent by Fusang to send Tang envoys, which has exceeded the authority of the lower officials." Wu Yuanheng hurriedly explained again, "Early this morning, the official has entered the palace to ask for an order, before the holy judgment, this case is still ownerless, Wannian County is only temporarily blocking the temple, and has no right to release it, and I hope you will forgive me." ”
The eldest princess didn't say anything after hearing this, and Xilingyue also understood, the identity of the deceased in this case is special, and the place where the crime occurred is also special, Wannian County and even Jingzhao Mansion dare not investigate the case directly, and they have to go up to the sky to listen and wait for instructions.
But she knows in her heart that the later the investigation of the case, the easier it is for the evidence to be lost, and the more difficult it is to solve the case. Not to mention, even the body of Master An Cheng will not be able to wait too long. Thinking like this, Xiling Yue was even more anxious in her heart, and couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask Wu Yinjing, when will the management power be decided."
? ”
"It should be soon, and the saint also knows that the case waits for no one." Wu Yuanheng pondered for a moment, and sincerely suggested, "The eldest princess and the county lord might as well go back to the mansion first, once there is a master in this case, the lower officials will immediately send someone to pass it." ”
So far, it has to be like this, Xiling Yue sighed darkly, and returned in the car with the eldest princess. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the door, Wu Yuanheng sent someone to deliver a message, saying that the Holy Lord had handed over the case to Dali Temple for trial.
And there seems to be an inside story in this - Jingzhao Mansion pushed the case to the Ministry of Rites, and the Tao sent Tang envoys to the Ministry of Rites to manage; However, the Ministry of Rites pushed the case to the Criminal Department on the grounds that it did not have the authority to investigate the case; The secretary of the criminal department did not shirk it, and took over the responsibility of reviewing the case, arresting the real culprit, and sending him to prison, but he did not say a word about how to investigate the case and who would investigate the case.
As a result, everyone felt that Dali Temple wore many hats and was more suitable to investigate and deal with the case. It happened that the chief official of Dali Temple, Dali Siqing, had recently complained of illness, and Shaoqing was still young, so he did not dare to refute Jing Zhaoyin and the two scholars of the Ministry of Rites and the Criminal Department in front of the saint, so he was forced to take over the case.
In fact, it is not appropriate to hand over the case to Dali Temple for investigation, Dali Temple has always been only responsible for litigation and judgment, and finding evidence and chasing the culprit has always been the responsibility of the county governors, within the authority of Jingzhao Mansion. However, the newly appointed Jingzhao Yin Wu Yuanheng Shengsheng Zhenglong took out two excuses, diplomatic relations and monks, and easily dismissed the case.
Thinking that the Holy Lord also knew that this move was inappropriate, but there was no better way, so he appointed Dali Temple to "set up a special caseman" to handle the case. In fact, he didn't care about the death of a little Fusang monk, but for the sake of the fame of the Celestial Empire, the Dali Temple project office paid more attention to it, and it was also good to give Fusang a decent explanation.
Xilingyue learned that the management of the case had been settled, and she wanted to return to Anguo Temple without saying a word. The eldest princess couldn't stop her, so she had to send Atsui and Adan to serve with her.
Wu Yuanheng was busy with government affairs, and he had already left at this moment, leaving the Wannian County Order to wait here. The county commander's surname is Meng, and he led Xilingyue into the temple, and said as he walked: "Wu Yinjing has greeted Dali Temple, saying that the deceased is the deceased of the county lord, and you want to go and pay your respects." Dali Temple should be, you just have to rest assured. ”
"I'm tired." Xiling Yue remembered the case in her heart and dealt with it casually.
She had already inquired that Venerable An Cheng had been killed in the Eastern Monastery where he lived, and she had been here a few times, and she was already familiar with the road, so she decided to go straight to the Eastern Monastery.
But I didn't think that as soon as a few people walked through the Guanyin Hall, a man wearing an official uniform and about thirty years old walked up to him, followed by a group of people, who seemed to be the case-handling officials of Dali Temple.
The man at the head was long, thin, with long sword eyebrows, and a serious face. He seemed to have made a special trip to see Xilingyue, walked up to her without hurry, and bowed his hand and said: "Jiang Wei, the Cheng of Dali Temple, has seen the county lord Guo and the county commander of Meng. ”
Seeing that the main lord had arrived, Meng County Ling immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and replied to Jiang Wei with a smile: "Jiang Sicheng, can you know Wu Yinjing's orders?" ”
"Xia Guan is clear."
"Very good, the official handed over the county lord to you, so that you can take care of it."
"Yes." Jiang Wei cherishes words like gold.
Meng Xian Ling said goodbye to him and Xiling Yue and left in a hurry.
Xiling Yue was anxious, and she didn't greet Jiang Wei too much, and said directly: "There is Lao Jiang Sicheng leading the way." ”
Jiang Wei's face was expressionless, and he stiffly stretched out his hand and asked: "County lord, please." ”
Xiling Yue then took Atsui and Adan to follow him to the East Zen Temple. Along the way, Jiang Wei didn't say a word, and his attitude seemed very cold. Xi Lingyue felt that he was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it, and wanted to ask, but because of his serious look, she didn't speak.
