Chapter 105: Another Martyr

Shangshu of the Criminal Department soon got a copy of the final report of the accident, and after reading it, Lord Shangshu wanted to commit suicide directly, but he lacked the courage to take that step, and in the end he could only cry bitterly.

What kind of bird am I doing!

If there is a regret medicine in the world, now Lord Shangshu will buy one to eat even if he is bankrupt, and then take back the loyalty he showed in front of the emperor in the morning.

"My lord, what's wrong with you?" An errand came in and asked in surprise.

"Lord Ben is weeping for the martyrs who are loyal and brave." Lord Shangshu was remarkable.

What to do now, there is no way, there is really only cold salad left.

"Ask Xing Wanjun to come to see me." Lord Shangshu shouted.

The errand officer hurriedly ran to find the famous head arrester of the criminal department, Xing Wanjun, who was talking to a group of subordinates about the case in the head arrest room, and he knew that since the lord took this mission, it would inevitably fall on him, and Lord Shangshu would never go out to investigate the case by himself.

"My lord called me, you are ready, and you will file a case when you turn around."

Xing Wanjun walked through the courtyard and came to Lord Shangshu, Shangshu showed him the report, and Xing Wanjun was dumbfounded.

"My lord, this ...... Can't check. ”

"I can't check what it means, do you want Ben Shangshu to tell the emperor that this case can't be investigated?" The criminal department Shangshu angrily slapped the table case.

Xing Wanjun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, my lord, you calm your anger first, you first tell your subordinates, is it okay to find out the cause of this case, or must the murderer be caught?" ”

"Of course, the murderer must be caught, and the cause of the case must be investigated, it is clearly written in this report." The Shangshu of the Criminal Department poured all his anger out on Xing Wanjun's head.

"Okay, but it takes time, a lot of time, so you have to check it slowly." Xing Wanjun said stiffly.

"Well, the emperor didn't set a deadline for me, and I won't set it for you, if the emperor is in a hurry one day, Lord Ben will also be anxious with you, how can you catch the murderer without Lord Ben teaching you?"

"No, my subordinates understand." Xing Wanjun's stomach was on fire, do you know how to catch the murderer? Of course, I didn't dare to say that.

"Okay, let's go down and work hard." Shangshu of the Criminal Department waved Xing Wanjun away.

Xing Wanjun returned to the head-hunting room and said loudly: "Brothers, the unfortunate days have begun, let's start arresting the murderer immediately." ”

"Boss, don't we catch the murderer every day, what's unlucky?" A headcatcher laughed.

"See for yourselves, you all know how to read, right?" Xing Wanjun tossed the report to them.

More than a dozen senior head catchers were dumbfounded after seeing it, how can such a murderer be caught, not to mention that it can't be found, but who dares to arrest it, isn't that going to send someone's head?

When they didn't see the report, they thought that the Jinyi guards were attacked by an enemy who had a numerical advantage of several times, and that the losses were so tragic due to the lack of troops. The result was that there was only one murderer, and it was immediately clear what kind of murderer they were dealing with. There is no need to think about arresting such a murderer, if people don't come to the yamen to take people's heads, it will be regarded as burning high incense. One is to look for death, and the other is to wait for death at home, neither of which is much better.

"Boss, what should I do?"

A group of senior head catchers were panicked, and the scene of the brocade guards who came back from lying in the coffin during the day was still vivid, and they may soon follow in their footsteps.

"What to do? Of course, it is to catch the murderer as instructed by the adults. However, if we can't catch it, we can't help it, which yamen doesn't have a few unsolved cases. Xing Wanjun nodded.

"yes, I can't help it." A few headhunters understood Xing Wanjun's meaning and came to their senses.

"Maybe the murderer has fled overseas, we can't row a sampan into the sea to chase it, besides, the sea ban hasn't been opened yet, right?" Xing Wanjun continued.

"Yes, yes, the boss is wise."

The headcatchers praised the wise decision of the chief catcher in unison.

The Criminal Department is in great distress here, and the life of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not easy.

They threw all the guards of the passers-by into prison, and then began to interrogate them one by one, which also went well, and the guards knew the rules and procedures, but they only shouted that they were wronged, and firmly denied that there were moles in their ranks. Since there are rules and procedures, those who should be asked must be asked, and some flesh and skin sufferings are also indispensable.

The army of family members and women soon learned the news, and all of them ran to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to ask for people, and the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate was blocked to death, unable to enter or exit.

"Why do you have to die in your prison just because he didn't die outside?"

"Why did you arrest my son, what is wrong with my son, you are guilty of a crime."

"Give back my husband! Give back my son! ”

This woman is the most miserable, her son and husband are in the guards of the pedestrians, and this is still done by spending money to find connections, because in the past, the guards of the pedestrians were the most decent and the most paid.

Hundreds of women and children were crying endlessly in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and some even hanged themselves on the spot, but they were naturally rescued.

The head of the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is as big as a fight, and he is full of remorse, why did he snatch this messenger from the Criminal Department. The problem is that I can't push it out now.

The officials below the imperial history of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate poured out of the nest and patiently did the ideological work of the family members, but the family members did not thank the emperor for his grace at all, and they could not see the interests of the empire in their eyes, but only the danger of their husbands and sons. No matter how detailed the officials' explanations are and how sincere their feelings are, the family members just don't accept it, and their emotions just can't be stabilized.

"My lord, what should I do?" A royal historian looked at the raging crowd outside and panicked.

Don't look at the women outside who don't go out of the gate on weekdays, it's more difficult to make trouble than men, you can't beat and scold, explain the rules and regulations of Jinyiwei to them, it's useless, explain to them that this is the emperor's will, I don't understand. Life and death is a word: to ask for people.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate was surrounded by women who were crying for heaven and earth, and they couldn't even get out of work.

It's a veritable siege.

"My lord, if you really can't do it, let the people go first, and then go back and secretly investigate one by one. If we continue to make trouble like this, it will not be unorthodox, and if one or two more lives come out, we will be scolded to death by the people. "I really can't stand it anymore, so I hurriedly discussed it with Zuodu Yushi.

Du, is the general meaning, all the official names with the capital are great officials, all command envoys, the imperial history of the capital, the left imperial history is the highest official of the Imperial Court, the left is the positive, the right is the deputy.

However, the general military officers of the Ming and Qing dynasties were not called "capital" military officers, which is also due to habit.

"But everyone has already been arrested, if we don't know it and let it go, it seems that we are too cowardly, and we will not be able to manage this group of proud soldiers and fierce generals of the brocade guards in the future." Zuodu Yushi was not very willing.

"But the situation outside is on fire, how can it be calmed down?"

"If you don't send someone to find an excuse to go out, just ask the emperor for a decree to release them, and then go to the commander of Jiumen to transfer troops to disperse these shrews, and those who refuse to leave will be arrested." Zuodu Yushi gritted his teeth and said.

"But many people have children, and there are nursing people, how can this be caught? If a few are trampled to death on the way to disperse, it may cause public anger, and at that time, the entire Jinyi Guard will stand up for them, and we can't explain to the emperor. "This old Du Yushi thinks more thoroughly.

"yes." Zuodu Yushi doesn't have a headache now, his liver hurts, his heart hurts, and there is no place in his body that doesn't hurt.

If you release people now, it will be a big joke, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will lose face, if you don't release people, you will take drastic measures against the women and children outside, and you really can't guarantee that no one will die, and at that time, Jinyiwei will not give up, they are now holding back the fire in their stomachs. Anyway, Jin Yiwei is still the emperor's person.

"My lord, let's make a decision, the more the situation drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us." Du Yushi urged.

The left capital Yushi looked at the room full of subordinates, and seemed to agree with the decision of this capital Yushi, and the right capital Yushi was now fighting bravely outside with a group of angry shrews, and his saliva was splashing, and he couldn't come back to discuss with him.

What to do?

He encountered the same problem as the secretary of the criminal department, but relatively speaking, his problem was smaller, and it was just a matter of face to be soft, but the problem of the secretary of the criminal department involved official positions and many invisible hidden dangers.

"Let people go, tomorrow I will go to the emperor to ask for guilt, but today I will record all the experiences and present them to the emperor tomorrow." Zuodu Yushi sighed.

He admits defeat, so don't die to save face and suffer the guilt.

"Your Excellency is wise."

"Adults are sympathetic to the people, and they are extremely wise."

"The emperor will definitely understand the painstaking efforts of adults to sympathize with the people's feelings, and will not blame us."

The imperial historians all breathed a sigh of relief, if they really wanted to make trouble like this all night, the consequences would be unimaginable. It is a matter of time before people are released, and it takes personal favors to release people early.

What's more, they also have to go home, and their wives and children don't worry about them. Seeing today's scene, they realized how beautiful it is to be alive, and how happy it is to be able to go home every day to reunite with their families, drink some wine, and listen to songs!

Especially today, tonight, at this moment.

The guards of the road pedestrian guards were all released, and they were still a little stunned for a while, not knowing why the Metropolitan Procuratorate suddenly opened up, and when they saw the family members all over the courtyard, they understood that it was the result of the efforts of the families. The mood of the guards was extremely complicated, and many of them shed tears, with both joy and grievance in their tears, and more of the feeling of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe. Although they all understand that the matter is not over, and the internal investigation and even the cleanup will continue, and it will be stricter, but today they can finally go home.

Everyone went home with their mothers and wives and their children in their arms, and the little suffering they suffered was nothing at all.

On the streets they walked, there was a series of laughter and tears.

Many residents looked at them and didn't understand what was going on, how could they be happy when they were grieving so much not long ago. This is the impermanence of life.

After they went home, the imperial historians also went home, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate was almost empty except for the old officials who patrolled the night.

Only Lord Zuodu Yushi did not go home, and after he gave the order to release people, he felt that his heart was blank. There are two points lingering in the chaotic thoughts: one is to face the emperor shamelessly, and the other is to feel inexplicable humiliation and helplessness.

Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated.

Are you not as good as those soldiers who died outside?

He was a dignified member of the ranks, he was named the crown prince and a young man, a very popular minister, and he was actually humiliated by a group of shrews, this was not insulting him, it was insulting the dignity and dignity of the court, he must not just swallow this breath.

This stubborn and stubborn Lord Zuodu Yushi carefully wrote a report to the emperor under the lamp, and then wrote a suicide note, and in the middle of the night, he hung himself on the beam of the hall with the jade belt given by the emperor.

That night, another executive, Zuo Du Yushi, was killed.
