Chapter 52: Substitute for the Dead

"What's the hurry, aren't you going to invite me to a crab feast?" James Shetto was a little anxious, and pulled him with a smile. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Su Wen looked at his hand, "Hehe, this is in a hurry, you are in such a hurry, I can't trust you anymore," he smiled and looked at James Shet, "Eating crabs is killing, I have always been a vegetarian, besides, eating your kind, you are willing to put down chopsticks!" ”

"Heh, brother, I don't taboo this, little shrimp, aren't you crossing the river and demolishing the bridge? Brother, please ask you for some help? ”

Su Wen smiled and pulled his hand aside, "You have made a meritorious contribution, I have saved my daughter-in-law, we are even, no one owes anyone, in the future, you take your Yangguan Road, I will take my single-plank bridge, see you back." ”

"Wait," James Shetu smiled, "I don't think you can do this, well, Su Wen will take the order!" ”

"Really?" Su Wen was confused.

"Look at my face," said James Shet, grimacingly, "this solemn appearance, could it be fake?" As soon as he raised his head, he said in a loud voice, "Su Wen immediately went to the Criminal Department to interrogate the suspect of Shunzhenmen's assassination, there must be no mistake, Qin this-"

Su Wen immediately got up from the ground, but he hit with a fist, and James Xie Tu deftly avoided it, "Don't do it, I'm injured, otherwise, twenty of you are not my opponent when you tie it up." ”

"You just blow it," Su Wen sneered, "In broad daylight, there are so many guards and guards, you are stunned that people have been stabbed, and you are not ashamed!" And the face to say! In the end, he strangled Jameschetu's neck, and only then did he let go.

After the dust settled, the family had dinner at Necai's house, and during the banquet, Necai also said that the Shunzhenmen assassination case had set off a huge wave in the imperial court, and the ministers were terrified, and the people were panicked, lest they be involved and be involved, that is, the assassin casually said a name, which may be a major crime of the Jiu clan.

Zhou Zupei, the minister of the upper study, even thinks that there must be someone behind this case, "Zhang Cha, the assassin of the former dynasty, broke into the Ciqing Palace and attempted to assassinate the crown prince Zhu Changluo, which triggered the "assault case" of the four major cases of the previous dynasty, and this case will definitely not happen out of thin air. He strongly advocated strict pursuit to the end, even Emperor Xuanguang was full of doubts, and immediately appointed Zhou Zupei to personally supervise the case.

"What about the Divine Decree?" Su Wen stretched out his hand.

"It's a word." James Xie Tu said with a smile, "I know that you don't want to go, if you don't go, then it will be a bad thing for you to go to the Xian'an Palace official school, that day the Shenwu Gate is on duty, you are the forward school is inseparable from the involvement, dismissal, demotion, and punishment are indispensable, and it is also possible to send Rehe to join the army, and you have made meritorious contributions in the Xiunu case, so ah, my brother has won you another opportunity to atone for your crimes!" You interrogate it, and my brother guarantees that your Xian'an Palace is fine! ”

"Then I have to thank you!" Su Wen couldn't help but sarcastically.

"What's polite, it's all my own brothers," James Xie Tu said with a hippie smile on a good old man's expression, "Look at you, promise me early, I still owe you a favor, it's good, I don't get the favor, I have to go obediently." ”

"Alright, alright, stop laughing, how to laugh like the expression that just came out of the cornfield, lewd!"

"Yes, I have a good heart to make you a donkey's liver and lungs, little shrimp, my brother will say a few more good words to you, as long as you try this prisoner, it will really become a shell mantis to a chirp - one step to the sky!"

"Don't call me little shrimp, I'm not! Besides, is there such a metaphor? Su Wen was dissatisfied, "Can't those people in the Criminal Department be tried?" Do you want me to fill in the hole? ”

"They really can't try it," said James Shetto, "and if they get the cashier, this trial case will be in ruins, what are they!" ”

"If only Qian Jiaoxi was here, he wouldn't have a case that he couldn't try." Su Wen said sincerely.

"You are his student, no, I recommended you to the emperor," James Xie Tu said with a smile, "The show girl fraud case is really amazing, you can get all the confessions after a meal, what does the emperor say this is called?" That's right, dark Chen Cang, and said......"

"What did you say?" Su Wen asked hopefully.

"Hehe, I won't tell you." Jameschetu deliberately sold Guanzi.

"Lao Zhan, let's talk from the bottom of our hearts, look at your sass, you can support a green building by yourself!" Su Wen scolded.

"I can't, Liu Ruyan can." James Shetto retorted with a smile.

I don't know why, at the mention of Liu Ruyan, Su Wen's heart hurt again, he didn't say a word, turned around and walked outside.

"Ouch, this is angry, the emperor said, Su Wen is a general!" James Shetu chased after him from behind, neither angry nor annoyed, the more he looked like a kraft candy, the more Su Wen's fire could not be raised.

"Su Er, this is your creation, brother is sorry for you, so he recommended you in front of the emperor, and you still don't thank me?"

"I thank you, uncle!"

The two of them went out of the house and got on the horse while arguing, and Su Wen said, "It's not bad for me if I can't be tried!" ”

"If you don't rely on anyone, don't you rely on me?" James Xie seemed to be deliberately angry with him, Su Wen was choked and speechless for a while, Rao is that he has always been clever and self-professed, and he is willing to bow down under James Shet's nonsense.

"Who is the Assassin's last name, and where is his name? Why stabbing drivers? What did he say himself? Su Wen asked, "The Criminal Department has a case file, I have to familiarize myself with it first." ”

"Then you still have to ask," James Shetu said with a smile, "I can try the case myself, and this assassin uncle can't say a word!" ”

Su Wen was angry, "What? What case do you want me to ask? ”

"It's just that there's nothing, so I let you go, isn't it a big credit, and I can't bear to let others go," James Shetu said with a smile, "or it won't show your ability, right?" ”

Su Wen was so angry that he grabbed the horse's reins, turned the horse's head and wanted to go back, "You dare to resist the order?" James Shetto said.

Su Wen looked at his hippie smiling face, and was so angry that he whipped on the buttocks of Jameschetu's horse, and the horse was frightened, and suddenly jumped forward, almost knocking Jameschetu upside down, Su Wen smiled, and also whipped the horse, and went straight towards the criminal department.

………………………………………

………………………………………

The Yamen Compound of the Criminal Department.

Su Wen looked at the plaque on his head - "Ming Punishment Bi Sect", and walked in after James Shet.

In the spacious and bright signing room, Zhou Zupei, the minister of the upper study, the full Shangshu Corkun of the Criminal Department, Zhao Che of the Han Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Qi Shiwu, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, and a hall director, the direct official and the Qing official Shi Langzhong, and the prison hall Langzhong were all present.

"Lord Zhou, my lords," said with a smile as soon as James Xie Tufu entered, "the emperor ordered me to send people to you. ”

"Lao Zhan, you still need to come here in person, just let someone else come over for a walk." Although Zhou Zupei said this, he also knew how important this case was in the eyes of Emperor Xuanguang, or he would not have issued a third-class holy decree within twenty days, and ordered the imperial guards to personally send this Su Wen, who had been in the limelight in Beijing for the past two years.

"Does the emperor have a will?" Colcoin has a big beard, but now he is at a loss.

"There is no will, just let me come and see." James Sekheto sat down with a smile.

This is also the will, and everyone understands it in their hearts.

Zhou Zupei coughed lightly, "After the case, the emperor ordered the brothers to work with the criminal department to strictly examine and approve the performance, Dajin has been founding the country for thirty years, and the assassination of the emperor in the palace is also unique, and the brothers also boasted in front of the emperor, and the case must be tried to the ground." Although he was the minister of the upper study, at this time James Xie Tu represented Emperor Xuanguang, and he showed a pattern of playing the right game.

"I have also discussed this case with the University of Science and Technology, Lord Zhao and the adults of the Criminal Department, and there are many doubts." He looked at Su Wen behind James Shet, and saw that no one gave up his seat, standing behind James Shethu like a shy descendant, only listening but not speaking, and his heart suddenly felt a little good.

"First, how did this person know the emperor's itinerary, just waiting outside the Shunzhen Gate early that day? Second, how did he get into the palace? Third, why did he assassinate the king? Fourth, is there someone in charge? Fifth, does he have any other henchmen? Sixth, does he have any other accomplices? If so, where? What's next? ”

These articles have been said to everyone's hearts, and everyone's hearts are also sinking, this assassin is full of wind and rain if he does not speak, and people's hearts are panicking, lest the assassin bite and pull on himself, and those who are not effective in guarding are also looking for ways and trusting relationships, for fear of being implicated in this case.

But the case is not closed, and everyone's hearts can only be kept in the air.

"However, the prison hall has been interrogating the assassin day and night, torture him, and under the heavy punishment, he still has not said a word." Zhou Zupei sighed, "There has been no progress in the case so far. ”

He is the minister of the upper study who is directly in charge of the criminal department, and when he says this, he also means to exonerate the criminal department. Su Wen said secretly, however, there has been a lot of discussion among the government and the opposition these days, and some say that Emperor Xuanguang's suppression of the Zhenghuang Flag and the Zhenghong Flag was done by the people of the two banners; Others say that the relatives of the prisoners who were removed due to the Bada Hutong case hired assassins; Others said that the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were dissatisfied with the innovation, and the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry......

But no matter which way it is said, it is not good for the court situation, and it is also bad for Emperor Xuanguang himself, he wants to close the case quickly, calm people's hearts, and stabilize the court situation.

"Have you used all the punishments that should have been used?" Zhou Zupei asked suddenly.

The prison hall Lang Zhong was a little embarrassed, "Back in the middle hall, kneeling chains, torture clips, boards, palms, bars, etc., everything, as long as it is the punishment that the criminal department has, it has been used, but it is not recruited." ”

"This is a gangster," Zhou Zupei said, "otherwise he wouldn't be so bold and so bold." ”

Su Wen looked at Langzhong in the prison hall, the man's eye sockets were deep, and the hair on his forehead was two inches long, which was no different from the two of them in the Zhili Qing Officer, and they were obviously under pressure on their shoulders and could not get rid of it.

Torture? He remembered that Qian Weijun said that punishment is a double-edged sword, especially before a major case, in front of this big case, there is a minister of the upper study to supervise and guide strictly, and there are ministries and halls that have been chasing and persecuting, without severe punishment, and there is no result, then there is the responsibility of ineffective trial; If the punishment is too heavy, if the person dies and the clue is broken, it will be even more difficult to explain!

He was thinking about it, when suddenly Zhao Che smiled and said, "Lao Zhan, you did a good job a few days ago," I just said, you never invite guests, why did you suddenly move which string, invite guests, overnight, get the confessions of nearly 200 show girls in one fell swoop, and let the officials of the Accounting Department and the Household Department sign and draw the charge, even our old criminal name here can't do it, hehe, you really have you!" He looked at Su Wen intentionally or unintentionally, "Ming'er is the last day of the emperor's given deadline, this case, I think, it depends on you!" ”

When Su Wen heard this, he almost fainted.
