Chapter 384: Who will characterize
After hearing Fang Fengshi's words, everyone regretted it, especially the several guard leaders, their faces turned green, this was their responsibility.
However, the situation was too chaotic at that time, everyone was just concerned about the safety of these big shots, no one paid attention to the whereabouts of a few of Rong Zhongjun's entourage, and the few people who were restrained were subdued by force because they took the initiative to attack the guards and wanted to forcibly break into the trial scene.
"Well, it's happened, and it's useless to regret it. Now Wang Dutang will tell you the truth, if the border army really makes noise, how likely is it that you will be suppressed? "Besides, Wang Chonggu's army was defeated.
Wang Chonggu favors the border army, and it is not strange, this is human nature, which is completely understandable, but at the critical moment, we should still distinguish right from wrong.
Besides, he wanted to take responsibility for himself and deal with the border army by himself, which was also for Wang Chonggu's sake, and he didn't want him to be too stiff with the local military as a local feudal official.
It's a pity that Wang Chonggu didn't buy it, and even suspected that he was doing something in it, which complicated things.
Wang Chonggu thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "If the border army is just making noise, I am sure that I will suppress them, I am afraid that they will mutiny, in that case, I will not be able to do it." ”
Fang Fengshi frowned and said: "Just because of the death of Liao Bingxun, the border army mutinied, isn't it that serious?" ”
"Liao Bingxun's death is not important, but Rong Zhongjun's death is too strange." Wang Chonggu sighed.
Cao Delin was immediately annoyed: "Lord Wang, you have made it clear, what is strange?" We told the story clearly, and I was not the only one who was present at the time, but hundreds of pairs of eyes saw it. If you want to say that the strange thing is that the hellish Rong Zhongjun, suddenly shouted like crazy, we still want to let Li Zhipeng, the chief soldier, explain it, his subordinates act as assassins, what is going on? ”
Wang Chonggu spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Lord Cao, the lower officials are not targeting you, I and Lord Fang naturally believe in what you and your lords and the guards say, but can outsiders believe it?" Can they believe the border army? If it is said that this is a ghost done by Li Zhipeng, there must be evidence, and you can't just label people. ”
Cao Delin was speechless, and the others also looked at each other, so they understood what they meant by being framed and recruited. They are indeed speechless, and it is true that what happened is like that, but facts are facts, and everything must be logical in order to be convincing.
Besides, he smiled and didn't interject, he had expected this situation from the beginning.
He hurriedly transferred 7,000 guards outside, just because he was afraid that the border army would make trouble and storm the post house, Wang Chonggu believed that he could mediate and suppress it, and he probably didn't fully anticipate the seriousness of the matter.
At this time, Gavin Hu suddenly said: "Let's not talk about whether the border army wants to make trouble, after all, it hasn't happened yet, and let's talk about what to do with the two of them, is it just that?" ”
Besides, frowning, what does Gavin Tiger mean by this?
He looked at Cao Delin, Cao Delin was also confused, looked at Gavin Hu, and didn't know what he meant by this sudden remark.
The case really can't be investigated now, that is, in the general government, that is, the file is sealed, put aside, as an unsolved case, and there is a chance to reopen the case file in the future, which is very unlikely.
Every year, there are many unsolved cases and headless cases in various local governments, and the clues are interrupted when they are handled, and they cannot continue to investigate, so they have to hang up as unsolved cases and find new clues before trial.
In many cases, this kind of case is finally solved because a prisoner was captured in a certain place, and after being tortured, the prisoner could not endure the torture, so he confessed all the cases he had done, which may include the previous unsolved cases in a certain place, so an unsolved case was solved.
Investigating cases not only requires patient and meticulous work, investigation experience and a lot of manpower and material resources invested, etc., many times it is solved by chance or luck or even by chance, this kind of thing not only happened often in ancient times, but also existed in later generations when all kinds of scientific means were omnipresent, this is the so-called blind spot case.
"Is there anything else in Gaidutang? Please advise. "Besides, he bowed his hand.
He had already dealt with the case just now, that is, he sealed the file and handed over the file and the prisoner's body to the three legal divisions in Beijing, including the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and let them decide whether and how to investigate it.
If you want to investigate, the first person to be arrested is still Liao Jingsheng, and if you can't find anyone, you can only issue a sea fishing document, which is the so-called wanted warrant in later generations, and whether you can catch it in the end can only rely on luck.
Moreover, it is estimated that even the three legal divisions in Beijing can only seal the file in the end, and the case will not be closed, maybe one day Liao Jingsheng will happen to be caught, and then the review of the case will be reopened, but this possibility is very small.
Gavin Hu sneered and said: "Lord Qincha, don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about the case, but if Lord Fu and they confirm that they are missing, we will have two fewer personnel, should we ask the imperial court to appoint two more adults to replace them." ”
Besides, he smiled: "It turns out that Gai Dutang cares about this matter, does it mean that Lord Dutang has a suitable candidate to recommend?" ”
Gavin Hu laughed and said: "Where, how can I recommend this kind of major event, it is better to report to the imperial court, and the emperor and the cabinet will determine the candidates." ”
Besides, nodding, he did not object to this proposal, provided that the imperial court could tolerate them sitting in Datong City and doing nothing, waiting for Beijing to send two more people.
For a while, he couldn't guess Gavin Hu's true intentions, so he could only nod his head in agreement, after all, it was the emperor who took the idea in the end.
"Then the Emperor will appoint two more adults to replace the two rich adults." Besides, he said.
"Okay, I'll write this piece when I get back." Gavin Tiger seemed to be waiting for this sentence, and was overjoyed for a while.
Besides, he sneered in his heart, the two officials were missing, and Gavin Tiger obviously regarded this vacancy as a fat shortage, and wanted to install his own people or sell them to a family to curry favor.
Suddenly, a servant rushed over, and after bowing to the others, he whispered a few words in Wang Chonggu's ear.
Wang Chonggu smiled bitterly and looked at the others with meaningful eyes.
"Lord Wang, is something wrong? What kind of eyes are you? Gavin Tiger was proud, and when he saw Wang Chonggu's eyes at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little creepy.
"Li Zhipeng was in trouble, he sent people to ask for the corpses of Liao Bingxun and Rong Zhongjun, saying that they were all generals with military merits, no matter what mistakes they made before they died, now that people are dying like lights going out, all faults should also disappear, and it is better to let them be buried in peace."
When Cao Delin heard this, he became excited and said loudly: "Let go of the fucking bullshit." What kind of mistakes have you made? Is it just a mistake to assassinate a prisoner in the hall of a three-session trial, and then to assassinate us, the presiding judges? This is treason. ”
"That is, the three-hall trial is not an ordinary interrogation, it is the highest level of interrogation, it is on behalf of the emperor and the imperial court, Rong Zhongjun does not know who instructed and instigated us, and actually assassinated us, this is a rebellion." Gavin Tiger also shouted with his arms folded.
Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi were shocked in their hearts, Liao Bingxun's case was not investigated, and his crime could not be determined, but Rong Zhongjun's crime was indeed a capital crime, but it would be a bit of a rebellion to say that he was a rebellion.
If Rong Zhongjun is condemned as a rebellion, then his superiors and many friends in the army will have to be interrogated, and if this is done, the matter will be very troublesome.
These two people are really not afraid of chaos, do they really want to force the border army to rebel?
"What do you think, Lord Chincha?" Wang Chonggu said with a little drumming in his heart.
"Li Zhipeng actually has the face to ask for the corpse of the prisoner, doesn't he know how the word national law is written? Or is there no law at all in his eyes? It's shameless for him to ask so rudely. As for how to define the matter of Rong Zhongjun, it will have to be decided after the final trial in Beijing, and it is impossible to make a final conclusion now. Besides.
He did not hesitate to veto the characterization of Cao Delin and the others, what kind of joke, if the Rong Zhongjun really wants to characterize it as a rebellion, Li Zhipeng and more than half of the generals of the border army will have to be arrested and sent to Beijing for interrogation.
Although he is not afraid of the border army making trouble, it does not mean that he deliberately provokes the border army to make trouble, which are two different things.
Wang Chonggu couldn't sit still, got up and said, "I'll go to the barracks to meet Li Zhipeng, and ask him face to face if he sent someone to ask for the body?" In addition, whether Rong Zhongjun is involved in this matter and him must be asked face to face. ”
Besides, the others laughed secretly in their hearts: If you ask like this, isn't it just to create conditions to exonerate him?
"Okay, then I'll trouble Lord Wang for a hard trip." Besides, he laughed.
Wang Chonggu walked on the front foot, and Fang Shi also found a reason to slip away on the back foot.
Cao Delin looked at the backs of the two and sneered: "Lord Qincha, they are not of the same mind as us. ”
Besides, he said: "I know, but it is really not appropriate to do much at this moment, and the matter of characterizing the case should be decided by the Beijing Three Law Division." ”
Cao Delin was also angry, and blurted out in a moment of anger, and Gavin Hu helped from the side, almost defining Rong Zhongjun's behavior and causing unnecessary trouble.
He forgot that as a judge, he can't talk casually, and what he says casually may be a verdict, a verdict for a prisoner.
Cui Zhongyong has not been able to speak, because his position is lower than Cao Delin and Wang and Fang, so he only spoke at this time: "Lord Qincha, according to the current situation, do you say that the border army will really make trouble?" Will you be angry at us? ”
Besides, he smiled bitterly: "It depends on whether this scene is designed by Li Zhipeng, if he designed it, the border army will definitely make trouble, and it is a big trouble, and it is likely that there will be a mutiny waiting for us." If not, then it's just a bit of noise, and it's not hard to convince them to suppress them. ”
"I hope it's the latter, if it's really the former, the border army mutinies, and we will become prisoners." Cui Zhongyong muttered to himself in fear.
The assassination scene just now made him still palpitate, and now he is even more frightened when he thinks that there is a possibility of mutiny in the border army.
