Chapter 32: Murder

"Lord, you can come back." After dinner at Qian Fei's house, Ye Zhao left satisfied, returned to the county government, and just came back, he saw Qiu Chi waiting outside the gate, and saw Ye Zhao coming up in a few steps.

"What's wrong?" Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows.

"Someone's killed." Qiu Chi said anxiously.

Human life is only, what's all the fuss?

Ye Zhao glanced at Qiu Chi suspiciously, when he was in the frontier, Qiu Chi had killed a lot of enemies with his own hands, how could a murder really make Qiu Chi so uncalm?

"It was Zhang Yi's son who committed the murder, and Liang Guo is particularly concerned about this matter." Qiu Chi smiled bitterly.

"The son of Zhang Xuan?" Ye Zhao looked at Qiu Chi in surprise, he had only been drinking with Zhang Yu during the day, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen at night.

"Yes, it is Zhang Yuan, the son of Zhang Xuan." Qiu Chi said: "It has been sent directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Zhang Chengcheng is waiting in the lobby, thinking that he is asking for the lord." ”

"Since the murder case happened in Suiyang, it should be tried in the county government first, right? Why was it sent directly to the Prime Minister's Office? Ye Zhao asked as he walked towards the court.

"Zhou Xiang and Zhang Gong were a little dirty in the past." Qiu Chi explained in a low voice: "This time Zhang Gong's son has such a thing, Zhou Xiang will naturally not let go of the opportunity to rectify Zhang Gong." ”

The circle of this scholar and wealthy family is not large, and there will be some intersection with each other, where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, there will be grievances, and naturally it is impossible to be harmonious, Zhang Yi and Zhou Jing are obviously not the kind of harmony.

"Envoy, please save the dog!" As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw Zhang Yu rushing in front of Ye Zhao and kneeling on the ground.

"Don't be like this, get up and speak." Ye Zhao hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Zhang Yu up and said: "This is a murder case after all, if it is really Brother Zhang who accidentally injured someone's life, under this law, Zhao can't do anything." ”

Murder pays for life, no matter what identity it is, since this has been stabbed in the court, even if Ye Zhao tries it himself, it is impossible to open up because of Zhang Yu's plea.

"If it was really done by the dog, the old man also admitted it, but the dog really doesn't look like the one who hurt people for no reason, the old man once had some grievances with the current Liang Guoxiang, and the old man is really not at ease!" Zhang Yu smiled bitterly.

Ye Zhao nodded, a little hesitant in his heart, he released kindness to himself when he first came this week, no matter how he behaved, Ye Zhao was not good at saving his face, but Zhang Zhen's request could not be ignored.

"In this way, according to the law, if the people have a lawsuit, it should be tried by the county order first, if the county order cannot be determined, it will be reported or reported to the Taishou by the bitter master, and handed over to the Taishou to decide, Zhou Xiang's matter directly bypasses the official, and the law is not in line with it, but the official is not good to come forward directly in this matter, Zhang Gong can contact the Suiyang gentry to ask the Taishou for his life, and hand over the case to the official to decide, but it must be explained in advance, if the murderer is really Ling Gongzi, the official will still break it according to the law, and will never show favoritism." Ye Zhao looked at Zhang Yu and said.

"Leave it to the envoy, and the old man can rest assured, if it is really my unsuccessful son who kills someone, he will do things according to the law, and the old man also admits it, I only hope that the envoy can give him a chance to appeal." Zhang Yu smiled bitterly.

"Definitely." Ye Zhao nodded and sent Zhang Yu out of the mansion before coming back.

"Lord, do you really want to meddle in this case? In this way, I am afraid that it may offend Zhou Xiang. Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao worriedly.

"Do I have a choice?" Ye Zhao asked helplessly.

On the one hand, the top boss, on the other hand, is the representative of the Suiyang gentry, on the premise of not touching the bottom line, it is not easy to offend, whether it is official or not, it will definitely offend one party in the end, this is an unsolvable proposition.

"So what now? Do you want to be sick? Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao and had a bad idea.

"Very good, I just promised Zhang Yi, and then called me sick?" Ye Zhao seemed to be quite satisfied with this answer: "Either this official will self-harm again and be more realistic." ”

"Uh...... That ......" Qiu Chi was stunned and looked at Ye Zhao, a little at a loss.

"Sleep, the sky falls, it's also tomorrow!" Ye Zhao patted Qiu Chi on the shoulder, and walked straight to the backyard, if he can't hide, then don't hide, just do business, as for who he offends in the end, he has a clear conscience, where are there so many good things in this world.

Ye Zhao slept quite soundly with Xin'er in his arms, but it was not peaceful in Suiyang City, Zhang Yu visited the gentry in the city overnight, and overnight, the entire Suiyang gentry united and petitioned in front of Zhou Jing's prime minister's mansion early the next morning, hoping to follow the laws of the imperial court and hand over the case to Suiyang to order Ye Zhao to come for trial.

"Smack~"

In the prime minister's house, Zhou Jing smashed the porcelain in his hand fiercely, and in the entire room, everything that could be dropped was almost broken.

"Fujun, even if the case is sent to Suiyang for retrial, why not? The evidence in this case is conclusive, although Suiyang Ling is like a god in judging the case, but with such an iron case, it is impossible to overturn the case. The head of the Prime Minister's Mansion bowed and said.

"Can't you hear me?" Zhou Jing turned his head, looked at the master bookkeeper and said: "These people obviously don't believe in the true appearance, and even prefer to believe in a county order, and they don't think that the original appearance can be judged!" ”

Liu Mu said that Zhou Jing was not open-minded, and he was not wrong, as these gentry united to demand that the case be sent to the county government for trial, Zhou Jing's dissatisfaction with Zhang Yu had gradually been transferred to Ye Zhao, even if he knew that it had nothing to do with Ye Zhao, but this hatred was not because of what Ye Zhao had done, it was purely due to jealousy.

The main book was swallowed, and he couldn't answer for a while, didn't Zhou Jing value this Suiyang Ling very much? In the blink of an eye, he is like an enemy.

"Then this case ......" The chief bookkeeper looked at Zhou Jing carefully, he couldn't understand the mind of the new Liang Guoxiang.

"Send it down, I want to see if it is for Ye Zhao to be judged, what is the difference between it and my trial, this official will personally supervise the trial this time!" Zhou Jing gritted his teeth and said.

"Whoa!" Feeling the increasingly depressing atmosphere in the lobby, the master bookkeeper didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly turned around to handle the matter.
