Chapter 107

In the Ming Dynasty, those who can be high-ranking officials above the fifth grade, as long as they are not shaded, one is counted as one, and there are no flaws in intelligence, after all, they are all a group of talents who can see how to govern the country and how to be legally corrupt from the Four Books and Five Classics and Eight Strands, so after Yang Shangjing's explanation in a few words, Shen Xing instantly understood.

"Come on, take that family out of prison and torture him!" Shen Xing, who is not very good at nourishing qi, is simply angry at this time, you said that he came to Huangyan County, Yang Shangjing is good to eat, drink and entertain, and also sent a lot of good things, of course, those are all calligraphy and paintings that increase the pure friendship between literati, but early this morning, his head was detained, do you say he was wronged? The good mood of a few days disappeared in an instant.

I heard Yang Ye sigh, and then said: "There are all the personnel here, and it is not far from the county office, why don't you just execute here, such thieves are crazy, and even the court officials dare to murder them, if they are brought back to the county office, I am afraid that it will be a long night." ”

When Yang Shangjing heard this, he shook his hands, he didn't expect that his two superiors were even more anxious than himself, it seemed that the plan to do something with this family member was completely out of play, but what Yang Ye said was also that it was not a fuel-efficient lamp that could silently murder the first master, so it was better to torture the information first.

As the three of them were talking, they saw Wang Mi, the servant of the Punishment and Prosecution Division, standing behind the three of them, bowing down and saluting: "Subordinate Wang Mi, there is a new discovery to report to the three officials." ”

As a result, the attention of the three of them shifted instantly, and they heard Wang Mi say in a deep voice: "The subordinates found a cyan bruise on the wrist of the deceased's right hand, which should have been pinched out by the deceased before he died, so the subordinates deduced that the deceased must have been coerced before he died, and it was definitely not suicide." ”

The process of disappearance of bruises on the body is actually the process of blood flow, after death, the blood circulation completely stops, and the bruises will naturally remain on the corpse and will not disappear.

Therefore, when the three of them heard this, their expressions were shocked, this kind of clue directly obtained from the body of the deceased is the most valuable, and there is no need to even use the previous suspicions, this is enough to overturn the conclusion that Liu Qi committed suicide in fear of punishment.

"It seems that this trial has been brought forward." Yang Ye gritted his teeth and said, looking at the catcher who was standing aside, "Zheng Wenyi, that family member will be handed over to you, you must let him spit out everything that should be said and what should not be said, not a word can be broken, the official wants to see which one ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and it is not happy for us here!" ”

The arrester surnamed Zheng quickly responded, and immediately retreated, Yang Ye turned around and walked towards the front door: "That Zheng Wenyi's craftsmanship is a family heirloom, and when it comes to torture, no one in the whole Zhejiang may be able to compare with him. ”

Yang Shangjing nodded while following him out, knowing that this was said to him, after all, among the three officials, he himself was not a person in the system of the Procuratorial Envoy Division, and when he was about to walk to the door, Yang Ye suddenly stopped, turned to this Yang Shangjing, and said with a solemn face: "I waited to come here, but I just checked it, although the case of the Huang family has become an iron case, but the full responsibility of the Procuratorial Department is limited, and it is difficult for the two of us to guarantee that there will be no variables." ”

Hearing this, Yang Shangjing couldn't help but be silent for a while, and thought back to the Daming Law, only then did he know the meaning of Yang Ye's words, according to the Ming official system, the sentence is handled by the Prosecutor's Department to act as a provincial prison, but in terms of authority, it is still very limited, limited to below the prison sentence, including imprisonment, if you want to cut off people's heads reasonably and legally, you have to report to the Criminal Department for review, the so-called "human life is as big as the sky", the so-called "Autumn Queen", in fact, all come like this.

And according to the recent cases of moths in Zhejiang, such as Yang Shangjing was intercepted and killed, such as Linhaiwei fornicating with the eunuch to steal the armor, such as the three divisions immediately killed the eunuch guarding the town, such as the reopening of the silver mine related to the emperor's money bag, etc., etc., it is inevitable that the emperor will not be hardened once in the foreign court, and forcibly send some eunuch personnel to hang up the official position of the criminal department, under the banner of investigating the case, receive the holy decree to do the messenger, and go straight to the whole person.

Once these people find fault, it is impossible to say that the Huang family's case will be overturned, and when the time comes, Yang Shangjing will be sentenced to a crime such as "reckless disregard for human life", and the three of them will still be convicted.

Yang Shangjing was silent for a moment and nodded: "Thank you two officials for mentioning it, but Jian still has some connections in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so presumably things will not develop to that point." ”

Before leaving Beijing, Huang Ying, the Zhejiang inspector of the Imperial Inspectorate, came to see him off, which represents an attitude of the Imperial Procuratorate, proving that there are people in the Imperial Procuratorate who are towards him, and according to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is investigating cases or supervising the army, it is always necessary to send a "upright" imperial history, and even if the people in the Criminal Department want to find fault, they can always support the past.

"I hope so." Obviously, he had a deeper understanding of the turmoil in the court, Yang Ye sighed, "This official and Hongsheng will turn around tomorrow, and the virtuous nephew still needs to pay more attention to the matter here." ”

Even if he had a hundred careful thoughts in his heart, Yang Shangjing could hear that this was for his good, so he didn't speak, just bowed deeply to Yang Ye.

Seeing this, Yang Ye hurriedly reached out to help him up and patted him on the shoulder: "What you said to the official the day before yesterday, the official has been thinking about it for a long time, and he feels quite reasonable, the master of a county can be poisoned, if it is really a widow, I am afraid that this Huangyan County will be overturned in an instant, after you return to the county office, immediately write a fold and hand it to the official, and immediately expand the fast shift official and the archers of the inspection department, and strictly inspect to deter the locality." ”

Yang Shangjing nodded hurriedly, saying that he had written it down, this was what he thought about for a long time, as long as he concentrated part of the county's human resources in his hands, and at the same time gave him limited armament, he had the ability to expand his influence one after another, and do some things step by step, as for personal safety, he had nothing to worry about.

If a person who can happily pretend to be a coercion in the Yumuchuan camp can't even do a good job of security for a county office, that time is the biggest joke of this century.

Thinking about these, Yang Shangjing once again gave a deep salute to Yang Ye and Shen Xing: "Jian, thank you two uncles for remembering." ”
