Chapter 234: The Trial Is Closed

Since the emperor has determined the "sexual" nature of this case, the next thing is easy to do, it is nothing more than trying to find a way to get human and physical evidence, although Zhai Luan has not been in the position of the waiter of the criminal department for a long time, he has never eaten mutton, but he has also seen sheep run, and it is easy to do this job.

In the following period, he discussed with several deputy presiding judges, and everyone said that the Son of Heaven was Shengming, and it was very fair to dispose of this case in this way.

So, everyone went through the hall several times, passed on the relevant people, etc., and recorded confessions. Of course, Sun Dan and Huang Jin's grandfather Zhai Luan are too lazy to pass them over, even if they pass them over, it is useless, but they will be angry.

After doing this, the file was then handed to the cabinet, and the cabinet vote was then forwarded to the celebrant and the emperor's approval was quickly reduced.

In this way, the first major case since the emperor ascended the throne can be considered to be concluded.

Pinching his fingers, more than half a month has passed since Sun Dan, Huang Jin and others entered the Beiya to wait for trial. It's already September, and the weather is suddenly cool, and the autumn is crisp, which is a very comfortable season. Of course, it's also a good day to kill. I don't know how many people have been beheaded by the Autumn Queen.

After discussion, after the emperor's nod, the result of this case came out: Sun Dan and Huang Jin had nothing to do with this case and were released immediately; Qiao Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, as the chief examiner of the Shuntianfu Township Examination, was guilty of negligence, fined one year, and served as a return to the Ministry of Officials; As for Sun Henian, he is the main culprit in the fraud case in the science field, the evidence is conclusive, and he should be beheaded according to the law. The rest of the people who committed the crime, whether beheaded or streamed, each had a sentence.

In this way, this shocking case is finally over.

Because this case involves the emperor's two confidants, it is naturally difficult to investigate deeply. Huang Jin and Sun Dan didn't have anything to do, but they stayed idle in Beiya for more than half a month.

Qiao Yu didn't have any, and was only fined for half a year. This is nothing to Qiao Yu at all, the Ming Dynasty officials' salaries are very low, low-grade officials can naturally rely on the fortune to make a living, but it is impossible for high-ranking officials to rely on their salary positions to live a luxurious life. Therefore, the main income of the magistrate depends on tax interception, such as the loss of taxes in kind, the labor and consumption that should be deducted during transportation, and so on. As for the Jingguan, the main income comes from local filial piety, such as ice worship in summer and carbon fire in winter. For example, a seven-grade county order, the annual income is 90 stones, that is, more than 13,000 catties, and this bit of grain and rice is only enough for his family to eat for a year.

If you want to live and live a nourishing life, you have to find a way from other places.

Qiao Yu is now a secretary of the ministry, and someone is indispensable to be filial piety on weekdays. No matter how honest he is, he still needs the necessary entertainment, as long as he doesn't love too much, it will have no impact on his reputation. Moreover, when he was the secretary of the military department in Nanjing, he presided over the defense of Nanjing, and he had soldiers on hand, so he naturally did not lack money.

Therefore, the past half a year's Yulu is just "Mao" and "Mao" rain for him, and it is not worth mentioning at all.

This case looks so serious, but when it was handled, the emperor's wrench was raised high, and then fell gently, which couldn't hurt the three people's skin.

Among them, the most unlucky is naturally Sun Henian, who was sentenced to a decisive decision, and even more than a dozen deputy examiners and clerks from the Gongyuan also followed the head.

Speaking of which, Sun Henian can also be regarded as Yang Tinghe's protégé, and it stands to reason that he will not be sentenced so heavily. But the key point is that more than a dozen of the candidates who cheated in this subject were related to him, and he also put them in the examination room. The evidence is ironclad, and no one can overturn the case.

Moreover, a few days after the emperor ascended the throne, in order to maintain the stability of the situation in the court, in exchange for the emperor's support for the upcoming political reforms, Yang Shoufu remained silent about the case.

During this period, a very interesting thing happened, the emperor actually approved Yang Tinghe's proposal to dismiss more than 300 idle officials in Nanjing's six departments, which helped Yang Shoufu withstand political pressure.

Politics may be a kind of transaction, but Zhai Luan feels that Yang Tinghe has done it right, and everything makes sense. Streamlining the organization is a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, and it is related to the social welfare of the country, and compared with the weight of the social organization, the fate of a Sun Henian is naturally immeasurably light.

Moreover, Sun Henian had already committed a big crime, even if Yang Tinghe was allowed to be the chief judge, he would be sentenced to behead according to the law.

"Tears and tears, Yang Ge Lao did the right thing, and it is also admirable." Zhai Luan suddenly admired Yang Ting and this old man.

This is an old man who deserves respect.

After the morning court, Zhai Luan received the holy decree and walked towards the Fusi of Beizhen with the verdict, preparing to read the final trial results to a cadre of criminals. Because Huang Jin and Bi Yun were eunuchs in the palace, the emperor had another will, so he sent a eunuch who was the celebrant to follow him to announce the decree.

No matter how big the capital is, it can't hold up the news that it has grown wings, and today the matter of concluding the fraud case of the Shuntianfu Kechang in the sixteenth year of Zhengde has spread in the city at a jaw-dropping speed.

By the time Zhai Luan and the eunuch arrived at Fusi in Beizhen, there were already a lot of people in the small square outside. At first glance, there are at least a thousand of them.

These people are both male and female, and it is estimated that they are either relatives of the offenders or protégés.

There are blue sedan chairs everywhere, and it seems that there are many officials.

As soon as he got off the sedan chair, a subordinate came over and said respectfully, "But Lord Zhai? My housewife would like to ask you to come over and talk about it, and please deign to it. ”

It shouldn't be an ordinary person who can rely on Zhai Luan, so Zhai Luan paid attention and nodded politely: "It's Zhai Luan, who is your master?" ”

The subordinate hurriedly said: "My wife is Mrs. Liu of the Sun family of the Marquis of Huichang." ”

"It turned out to be Mrs. Liu." Zhai Luan was a little surprised, but he was a little unhappy in his heart. I, Zhai Luan, have received provincial governance, you can see it when you say it, what kind of system will it become? However, considering that Mrs. Liu is Liu Daxia's daughter, Lao Liu had a good reputation when he was alive and was a talented person. Looking at his face, Zhai Luan was not easy to attack: "Go back and tell your wife that Zhai Luan is on official business, and it is inconvenient to go to see her, please understand." ”

He was also very annoyed these days, and the family protégés of the criminals in this case kept coming to the door, and there were those who interceded and those who inquired about the news.

Zhai Luan knows the power of this case, this is targeted by the emperor, if he contacts the family of the prisoner in private, he Zhai Luan will be on the emperor's blacklist, and he will also want to enter the cabinet again on an errand in this life.

Therefore, when this kind of thing happens, he does not see anything.

"But...... But ......" the subordinate was so anxious that he seemed to cry: "My lord, Madame said, for the sake of the deceased Liu Daxia and Master Liu, please go over." ”

At the mention of Liu Daxia's name, Zhai Luan felt a little unbearable in his heart. Speaking of which, when Lao Liu was in the Ministry of War, he Zhai Luan still owed him a favor.
