Chapter 428 The case is closed

(Thank you book friend "Arlington" for the two monthly passes!) )

When Zhang Jiayu saw the name of Ma Hai on the file, as well as the number of one battalion and one company of the fourth division, three regiments, and one company, he knew that it must be the prince. Seeing this Zhang Jiayu also lost interest in continuing to watch, he originally thought that it was just an ordinary murder and arson case, and he could still get someone out to find Ma Kun in his face, as for how to sentence it, it was decided by the emperor in Guangzhou, because according to military law, the local government had no jurisdiction over the new army.

Zhang Jiayu saw Ma Hai's name and knew that this case was like this, and the unlucky pusher died in vain. It is impossible for the emperor to punish his prince for a seven-rank magistrate, let alone Zhang Jiayu is the prince's teacher, and if the prince is punished, he will also be implicated.

Zhang Jiayu was not afraid that this matter would be known by the emperor, but that he was afraid that this matter would be used by ministers with ulterior motives in the court.

Zhang Jiayu thought hard for a while before remembering why he was in such a hurry, there should be someone more anxious than himself, and that was the prince's uncle Ma Mingyuan. Thinking of this, Zhang Jiayu suddenly remembered that the Spring Visiting Courtyard was still the Ma family's industry, and it just so happened that this headache should be handed over to Ma Mingyuan. After thinking about it, Zhang Jiayu hurriedly wrote a letter to Ma Mingyuan, telling the incident thoroughly, anyway, the industry is also your Ma family, and the prince is also your Ma Mingyuan's nephew, see what you Ma Mingyuan do!

After Zhang Jiayu finished writing, he ordered someone to ride a fast horse to send it to Ma Mingyuan, he still had to prepare to go on the expedition, the emperor's order to reinforce Jin Shenghuan had come down, and Zhang Jiayu had been busy with these things for half a month.

Zhang Jiayu's letter was quickly delivered to Ma Mingyuan in Guangzhou, and Ma Mingyuan was taken aback, but fortunately, Ganzhou was far away from Guangzhou, and the news had not yet arrived, and he still had time to arrange it.

Ma Mingyuan hurriedly called Ma Fu to inquire about the visit to the Spring Courtyard in Ganzhou, and knew that it was indeed Pang San's industry that he went out to run under the banner of the Ma family. Ma Mingyuan scolded Ma Fu and asked him to go to Ganzhou immediately to bring Pang San back. Ma Fu saw that the second master was angry, and he didn't dare to intercede for Pang San, and just as he was about to go out, he was called back by Ma Mingyuan, Ma Mingyuan lowered his head and thought about it.

"Ma Fu, you take ten good hands, go to Ganzhou to get back Pang San's head for me, and all the people involved in the case are quietly killed, don't keep that concubine of yours, sell it to Luzon!"

When Ma Fu heard that he was going to sell his concubine, he said in a hurry: "Second young master, my concubine has already given birth to a son, can you spare her once!" ”

Ma Mingyuan was so angry when he heard Ma Fu say this, when did you still take care of your concubine!

"Ma Fu, do you know that the prince is in Ganzhou, Pang San has offended the prince now, if we don't deal with the tail before the emperor knows, if the prince is punished, can you afford it?" Ma Fu was Ma Mingyuan's scholar back then, Ma Mingyuan bothered to deal with him, if he didn't follow Ma Mingyuan's means, Ma Fu couldn't stay, in order to ensure the stability of the prince's position, all the sacrifices were worth it.

As Ma Mingyuan's confidant, Ma Fu naturally knew that hundreds of people from all of his doors had to lean on the big tree of the prince, so Ma Fu didn't dare to delay and quickly got up to choose someone to go to Ganzhou.

Ma Mingyuan thought about it and made arrangements in the officialdom, but fortunately, Zhang Jiayu was still in Ganzhou, so he could hide this matter. Ma Mingyuan picked up the pen and replied to Zhang Jiayu, asking him to hide this matter.

Ma Fu rushed to Ganzhou with people in the afternoon of the same day, and now the water transportation from Guangzhou to Ganzhou is developed, and he arrived at Nanxiong Mansion on the fifth day, and rushed to Ganzhou City on the eighth day.

Zhang Jiayu saw that the big housekeeper of the Ma Mansion was coming, and breathed a sigh of relief, this kind of thing should be handled by the Ma family.

Ma Fu knelt down to the Zhang family and saluted, got up and asked, "Lord Zhang, my lord asked me to come to Ganzhou to deal with this matter, where are Pang San and the others?" ”

After the accident, Zhang Jiayu had already controlled Pang San and others, and now he is being detained in prison according to the Yamen of the Prosecutor's Office.

Pang San was very depressed, he should have been the injured party, how could Master Zhang arrest himself, he didn't fall every year for three festivals and six respects, why did he arrest himself? The key is that he is not interrogated after being caught, but just locks himself and a few henchmen in prison. Pang San felt bad, did he offend those big men in the new army?

Pang San has spent the past few days in this kind of fear, but after thinking about it, there should be no big problem, according to the power of the Ma family, even if he offends the officer at the first level of the regiment commander, his brother-in-law can protect himself.

Just when Pang San was thinking wildly, a group of people came in from outside the prison. This group of people did not stay, and came directly to Pang San's cell, Pang San looked up and was overjoyed, it turned out that the middle-aged man who was the leader was his cheap brother-in-law Ma Fu.

"Brother-in-law! How did you get here? ”

Ma Fu saw that it was Pang San who was locked up in the prison, and he didn't speak, but reached out and took out a silver ticket from his arms and stuffed it into the cell leader. The cell boss had already received a hint from above that these guys were going to kill people, but they didn't expect to have any money.

"Brother Cell Boss, this is five hundred taels, you and your brothers have some wine, and Pang San and I have something to say!"

The cell boss was happy to get the silver, he knew that these people were not simple, just now they were personally sent by Judge Cui of the Yamen, and hinted that he should stay away. The cell boss didn't expect these people to be generous and give themselves so much silver.

The cell boss hurriedly bowed his head and said, "This uncle, please take care of yourself, please take care of yourself!" After speaking, he handed over the cell key to the person brought by Ma Fu, and then went out with a few cells, and looked at Pang San and laughed twice before leaving! These two sneers are so penetrating to hear in the quiet and terrifying prison.

Pang San didn't know why the cell boss was laughing at him, but it was nothing, the key brother-in-law came, and he finally didn't have to suffer. Pang San even planned in his heart that he would go out for a while and find a few Qingqi people to see the red to get rid of bad luck, which was really unlucky in the past few days.

Ma Fu took the key to open the cell door and walked into the cell. Pang San hurriedly kowtowed and cried: "Brother-in-law, you are finally here, San'er has been tortured by these bastards for the past few days, and my brother-in-law wants to call the shots for me!" ”

Looking at his cheap brother-in-law, Ma Fu sighed in his heart, this kid is not bad, he has made some money for himself by opening a brothel in the past two years, and the most important thing is that his sister gave birth to a son for herself. But Ma Fu couldn't help it, the second master had already sent a message, and their sister and brother couldn't stay, but they just suffered their one-year-old son, and they lost their mother at a young age.

"Little San, brother-in-law can't stand you, let's vote for a good family in the next life!"

Pang San was confused when he heard his brother-in-law say this, why did he say this? But just when Pang San was confused, several people who followed Ma Fulai came up and held down Pang San, and one of them took out a rope and put it on Pang San's head.

Ma Fu watched Pang San's tongue protrude, and he returned to that world with his hands and feet. Seeing Pang San's breath, those people tied the rope to the fence of the air window, making it appear that they were committing suicide.

Ma Fu watched everything clean up and said to these people: "There are three other people, they are all Pang San's henchmen, let's do it together!" ”

The ten people who came to Ma Fu were all dead soldiers of the Ma family, and they were familiar with the work of killing people, and they quickly sent those three people to the west sky, and then withdrew from the prison under the leadership of Ma Fu.

The next thing is the matter of the cell boss, who reported the suicide to the political secretary Yamen, anyway, there are a few deaths every day in the prison, and today is nothing more than death.

Zhang Jiayu received the report of Pang Sansi's suicide, and his heart was relieved, as long as he died, everything would be easy to say. Next, Zhang Jiayu found the prefect of Ganxian County and the prefect of Ganzhou, suggesting that they re-report the file of the visit to the Spring Courtyard. With Shangguan's hint, everyone understood, and the prefect hurriedly said that there was a typo in the file reported, and it was his own negligence, and asked Lord Zhang to send it back and write it anew. Zhang Jiayu naturally agreed.

When the Ganzhou Mansion Yamen reported the newly written file the next day, this big case of 21 people who died completely changed its appearance. The fire in the Spring Visiting Courtyard was committed by the turtle slave Zheng Liu, this guy was punished by Pang San, the owner of the Spring Visiting Courtyard, and he was resentful, so he set it on fire, but he didn't expect to be burned to death if he couldn't escape. A total of six people were burned to death in the fire, namely Zhao Erda, the governor of Zhaoqing Prefecture, Pang San, the owner of the Spring Visiting Courtyard, and three of his friends, as well as Zheng Liu, a turtle slave, and there were no major losses in the others. The cause and effect of the case have been ascertained by Zhaoqing Prefecture and Ganxian County, because the main culprit Zheng Liu has been burned to death, but Zheng Liu's family still has an old mother and a younger sister, and the old mother has been assigned to Luzon on his behalf, and his sister Zheng has been sold as a prostitute.

This is the file of the Zhaoqing Mansion report to the Yamen of the Judge, a shocking case that killed more than 20 people was born and changed under the joint efforts of the provincial and county officials, and the unlucky Zheng Liu's mother and sister were completely wronged, Zheng Liu's mother was old and died on the way to Luzon, and the body was thrown into the sea. Zheng Liu's sister Zheng was bought to pick up customers day and night in Guangzhou, and she only lived for more than two years.

Zhang Jiayu, as the highest judicial chief of the province, has the final right to review the case, he looked at the file, the officials below did not leak, Zhang Jiayu picked up a red pen and wrote the word "closed", and then stamped the official seal of the political envoy, and the original file was sent to the Guangzhou Ministry of Justice for archiving. Zhang Jiayu estimated that no one would review this kind of case where the main culprit died when it came to the Ministry of Justice, so he ordered someone to send it to Guangzhou.

After this matter is over, Zhang Jiayu still has to care about the major affairs of the north, and the emperor's holy decree has come down, ordering all the fourth division to go north to garrison Nanchang. Zhang Jiayu has been dragging on for a long time, and the original hope was that the Manchu Qing Dynasty would go south to fight with Jin Shenghuan first, and then he would lead the team north to make a profit. But he didn't expect the Manchu army to arrive for a long time, and even Tan Tai in Wuchang withdrew to Jiangbei, coupled with Jiang Yueguang's urging order a day, Zhang Jiayu really couldn't drag it out, so he could only promise to lead the team north at the end of August.

Today is still 10 days before the end of August, and the time is very urgent, Zhang Jiayu wrote an order, ordering Ma Kun to prepare for the departure of the army within five days, and to rush to Ji'an Mansion on the first day of September.
