Chapter 389: This Road Is Dead
"It's not about having something to teach, it's about asking for something." Wang Chonggu said humbly.
Fang Fengshi's mouth formed an "O" shape, when did the Governor become so modest?
Wang Chonggu has always been known for his tough style of doing things, and after polishing it in officialdom for so many years, he has also worn out many edges and corners, but he is still a little more domineering than ordinary sleek officials.
Fang Fengshi learned to meet on both sides, otherwise there was a governor, a political envoy, and an envoy according to the inspection, all of them had their backgrounds, and he really had this splint spirit.
"What does Lord Todo command, just say it." Fang Fengshi arched his hand and smiled.
"This time, I really want to ask Lord Fang for some things, it's not a lie."
Wang Chonggu said the doubts in his heart in a few words, and then asked Fang Fengshi what he thought.
Fang was embarrassed at the time, and he wished that the Governor had not asked about these things, and that he could pay whatever the price.
Because he can't say what he thinks, and in fact it's not appropriate to have any ideas. If you agree with Wang Chonggu, you will offend a large number of powerful court officials such as Cao Delin, especially if you are still a full-powered envoy, and you are the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and you are the number one person who cannot afford to offend.
However, if he offended Wang Chonggu, his life would not be much better.
Besides, they are just passers-by, Wang Chonggu is the master here, and when they leave, Wang Chonggu will still be respected here, unless they really try to bring down Wang Chonggu and succeed.
"Well, I don't think there's any misunderstanding here." Fang Fengshi pondered for a long time before he hesitated to speak.
"Lord Fang doesn't have to have any worries, now they are one side, you and I are one side." Wang Chonggu hinted to him that if he didn't tell the truth at this time, he would be unlucky in the future.
"My Excellency, I don't mean it, but I really think so. I've thought about all the doubts you have in mind, but I can't figure them out. If you want to be unfavorable to the border army or even you, what is their purpose? ”
"Just because they don't see a purpose on the surface doesn't mean they don't have a purpose." Wang Chonggu snorted coldly.
"It stands to reason that this time the diplomatic mission is just passing by us, and there is no intention for the local area, this is the first feeling of the lower official. Now there are so many doubts here, it doesn't make sense at all, there must be a misunderstanding here. Or is someone or a force behind the scenes? ”
"Well, I've thought about what Master Fang said, but it's not very likely. Now what I suspect most is the death of Liao Bingxun, was he assassinated by Rong Zhongjun, or was he killed by Jinyiwei's guards? This is the crux of the matter. Originally, it was possible to find out as long as the autopsy was carried out, but Lord Qincha sealed Liao Bingxun's body, and I felt that there was something greasy in it. Wang Chonggu said.
"That's right." Fang fell into contemplation again.
In fact, it was not only the bodies of Liao Bingxun and Rong Zhongjun that were sealed, but all the evidence of the entire case was sealed.
If the local triage of the three halls has no results and has reached a dead end, the central authorities should take over and decide whether to continue the investigation or seal the file. There is nothing wrong with that.
If Liao Bingxun is given an autopsy now, it is equivalent to reopening the file, this kind of thing can be big or small, at the big point it is to retry the case, and to say at the small point is just to look at the wounds of the corpse, but as long as Wang Chonggu brings it up, besides, with Cao Delin, they will definitely think that Wang Chonggu is going to take over the case for investigation.
However, there is no precedent for a case in which the local government has taken over the trial of the three sessions, and it can even be said that it does not comply with the regulations.
"Your Excellency Governor, if you insist on giving Liao Bingxun an autopsy, you are asking for you to retry this case." Fang Fengshi sighed.
"What, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to clear the doubts in my heart." Wang Chonggu lost his voice.
However, he immediately stopped talking, and understood the meaning of Fang Fengshi's words.
He naturally could think of what Fang Feng could think of, after all, he had also been a governor, and then he was qualified to be a governor.
"Is there a way to just check Liao Bingxun's body, but not take over the case?" Wang Chonggu was stunned.
He doesn't want to take over this hot potato, now that Liao Bingxun is dead, Rong Zhongjun is dead, and Liao Jingsheng has escaped, it can also be said that life and death are unknown, this is a headless unsolved case, and he will take over such a case for retrial if he is stupid.
Fang Fengshi said quietly: "Even if you want to take it, people have reasons to disagree." ”
Wang Chonggu understood that the three-hall trial was the highest judicial procedure, and it was impossible for the local governor Yamen to take over, unless it was to accept the commission, but would Cao Delin give him the commission?
The answer is obviously no, the case was sealed, this is a decision made as a plenipotentiary minister, Cao Delin, Gai Wenhu and others unanimously agreed as the presiding judge, and they also wrote reports, what reason is there now to entrust the local governor Yamen to take over and continue the trial?
Everyone knows this kind of thing very well in their hearts, and as soon as he brought it up, he understood that this was here to provoke a thorn, politely perfunctory a few words to you, forget it with a sloppy eye, and if you are not polite, you have to scold him.
It's a dead end.
Wang Chonggu had a headache, and he couldn't feel at ease if he didn't find out the exact cause of Liao Bingxun's death. Whether there is a big conspiracy against the border generals and against him can only be verified by this law.
This road is not working, is there a way to get around?
The two of them frowned and pondered, not only did Wang Chonggu want to know the truth, but Fang Fengshi was actually eager to relieve the doubts in his heart, if the imperial court was really ready to take action against the civil and military generals in Xuanfu Datong, he would also suffer at the right time, but Wang Chonggu would bear the brunt.
Fang Fengshi couldn't think of a way, and Wang Chonggu was the same.
The two of them called the two yamen's torture room masters and the staff who were proficient in the legal provisions, and sat together all night to study this problem: how to find a reason that did not hurt decency but could justify itself, and requested that Liao Bingxun be autopsied.
As soon as the master and the staff heard this topic, they all smiled bitterly and shook their heads, the three sessions were the highest level of court, and it was impossible to bypass them, nor could they find a reason to justify themselves.
But this is the order of the two adults, and they must give an explanation. Faced with this unsolvable problem, they drank strong tea or drank spirits, and studied it all night until dawn, which was still a dead question.
The faces of the people were pale, not self-blame, but tired of staying up late, they did not have a psychological burden, this was a false proposition, and there was no research at all. Staying up is just to give face to the two adults.
"My lord, the three-hall trial is the highest level of trial procedure, unless the emperor can order the case to be opened, of course, the minister with full power also has this right, as long as the minister agrees." A staff member's face was as pale as a ghost.
Wang Chonggu's face darkened, if he could agree with it, what else would he say, wouldn't it be a matter of one sentence.
If you want to claim rights with power, there is a sentence that can be described: seek skin with the tiger.
"My lord, don't you have a good relationship with Lord Kuang Qincha?" The master of the torture chamber of the governor's yamen said.
Everyone else also looked at Wang Chonggu.
Since he came, Wang Chonggu has been accompanied by the saddle and the horse, all kinds of cooperation, and he also has great respect for Wang Chonggu, and the relationship between the two is harmonious.
It's not a fake, it's true.
Besides, he has no stake in Wang Chonggu, and there are many things that need Wang Chonggu's help and cooperation, of course Wang Chonggu does not dare to take it big, and the requirements are all orders, and the requirements are just more respectful statements.
Wang Chonggu smiled bitterly, if he didn't want to give Liao Bingxun an autopsy, it was indeed very harmonious and quite harmonious, but if you asked for an autopsy, it would be obvious to provoke a thorn, and no matter how well-nourished the minister was, he couldn't stand it. Don't talk about others, if any of the prefects below wants to meddle in the case he sealed, he will definitely slap the table and scold for three days without asking for any reason. And in the end, it will never be allowed.
"My lord, I still don't understand what is wrong with this. At that time, there were more than a dozen officials at the trial scene, and it was impossible for them to give false testimony in unison, so I felt that this matter was what they said, and there was no doubt. One of Wang Chonggu's aides said.
Wang Chonggu's face darkened even more when he heard this, what kind of words is this, the matter was not done, but it was reversed in the nest first?
However, he didn't expect it, but repeatedly thought about it, the possibility of those officials making false testimony in unison was too small, but the key was that they said that Liao Bingxun was first stabbed in the heart by Rong Zhongjun and killed on the spot. And then things went weird.
They said that Rong Zhongjun dragged Liao Bingxun's corpse and rushed towards Cao Delin and them, wanting to assassinate Cao Delin, but what a high-end job it is to assassinate people, it is about time, what are you dragging a corpse for, no matter how good the friendship is, it can't be better, right?
Besides, everyone knows that Rong Zhongjun has a general relationship with Liao Bingxun, that is, a general relationship between superiors and subordinates.
Then it was even more weird, saying that Rong Zhongjun dragged Liao's corpse to block the embroidered spring knife of the Jinyi guard, but coincidentally, it was just the tip of the embroidered spring knife of the Jinyi guard's guard that pierced the wound on Liao Bingxun's corpse, and as a result, the wound of Rong Zhongjun's dagger was completely destroyed and replaced.
One thing is strange and reasonable, but a series of strange things are difficult to say, not to mention how can things be so coincidental, just like threading a needle, the wound of Liao Bingxun's corpse is the eye of the needle, and the murder weapon embroidered spring knife is the thread, how high martial arts does this have to be to do this?
If Rong Zhongjun's martial arts were really so high, why did he turn his head and commit suicide by throwing himself on the knife of Jinyiwei's guard?
All of these are suspicious points, not to mention the most lethal ones are the words that Rong Zhongjun shouted before he died.
Without these, Wang Chonggu was full of food and support, and wanted to go against the officials of the Three Law Divisions and the Six Divisions? It's not that I'm full of food, it's that I'm crazy after taking heartless medicine.
He spread out these doubts and put them on the table, and asked these masters and staff to analyze them.
After thinking about all the doubts, the staff member who insisted on no doubts said with a smile: "Lord Governor, if you don't like to hear it, there are no doubts here, but there are doubts, it is Rong Zhongjun, and all the doubts are pointed at him, and they are all created by him." ”
