Judging from the identity and department name, Cao Yingjia is undoubtedly far higher than Fan Jin, the most important elder in Shilin, although Fan Jin is an undergraduate heir, but in front of Cao Yingjia, he still has to regard himself as a junior. Cao Yingjia studied under Weng Dali, the master and apprentice are serious and unsmiling, plus working in a place like Dali Temple, he naturally developed a poker face, his face is like ice that will not melt for ten thousand years, and his tone is also serious.

"Fan Chuanyu, this official heard that you arrested Zhu Guochen?"

"Back to Cao Jianqing's words, people can be regarded as students who caught it, right? In fact, it should be said that they themselves bumped into the hands of the students. Originally, the students just wanted to find someone, but they didn't expect that they heard the news out of nowhere, knowing that the purpose of the student's search for someone was to find out their bottom, so they took risks and set up an ambush to plot, so they were caught. ”

"I heard that the place where the arrest was made was to turn the house? You're a new science and technology sergeant, what are you going to do in that kind of place? The first thing to do is self-cultivation, and if your body is not right, how can you be a righteous person? Is that the place of fireworks also the place where you should go as a new science and technology scholar? It is the duty of the servants to catch thieves and thieves, and my generation can't do it by themselves, you are a new science and technology scholar who is doing this cheap job, and you are not afraid of ruining your reputation? Also, this official heard that you participated in the interrogation of the prisoner in Jinyiwei Prison yesterday, but is there such a thing? ”

Maybe it's because of professional habits, I've been in Dali Temple for a long time, and the culture has unconsciously brought a little interrogation. Fan Jin is not a prisoner after all, and the personnel relationship is not in Dali Temple, Cao Yingjia's questioning is also a little inappropriate. He was aware of it, but he didn't plan to change it.

Cao Yingjia knew that Fan Jin was not comparable to ordinary Jinshi, and he seemed to have something to do with the Son of Heaven and Zhang Juzheng, and he was a very popular figure. But these factors are not within Cao Yingjia's consideration, or he can't take care of them now.

He was a person on the line of the high arch, and Zhang Juzheng didn't move him because he didn't want to create a panic atmosphere after he came to power. Now that something is wrong, I can't expect Zhang Juzheng to protect himself, and it is already a blessing not to fall into the well. At this time, it is too late to repair the relationship with Zhang Juzheng, even if he loses his sincerity to Zhang Juzheng now, he will not protect his future, on the contrary, it is even more difficult to mix up if he has a bad reputation in Shilin.

If you want to keep yourself, you have to keep your teacher, and naturally you have to find ways to get rid of the relationship between this case and yourself. If you want to do this, the only way at present is to hold down Fan Jin's head, as long as he loosens his mouth, he will be able to do it himself.

It was impossible for him to make any deal with Fan Jin, and there was nothing good for him, so there was no way to compromise or negotiate. If you don't have chips in your hand, you can't take many means, and it can be summed up as just coercion. With the official authority cultivated in the law department for many years, he found the flaws of the other party, took the opportunity to deter the other party, and made Fan Jin back down, which was the only solution he could think of.

As an old official who has been in the Daming Law Division system for many years, it is not difficult to find some flaws. Fan Jin, as a scholar of Guan Zheng, is not qualified to participate in the interrogation work, in other words, he is not sent, and participating in the interrogation at this time is similar to the common people interrogating important criminals, which is obviously against the system. Moreover, the Criminal Department's Guanzheng Jinshi and Jinyiwei are two systems, and everyone is not mixed in the same circle, so it is even more inappropriate for him to go to the Imperial Prison to interrogate prisoners.

Cao Yingjia was already majestic, and his face was even more ugly at this time.

"Factory guard Duoxi abused torture to obtain a confession and attack the minister. The case of Minister Wang in the past is a living example. It is because the upright people and gentlemen disdain to be with him, especially in every big case, he has to do everything possible to get the right of interrogation into the hands of the legal department, and does not let the factory guard interfere, because he is worried that he will use the topic to frame Zhongliang. You are young and don't know the stakes, and you actually try the same crime with the people in the factory guard, this alone can ruin your future! ”

His tone was stern, and his voice was cold. "Dali Temple has the right to review the case, not what others say, it must be what it is. The old man has not been in this position for a day or two, and he has dealt with countless big cases. Whoever wants to deceive the old and turn black and white upside down is doomed to self-destruction! In the future, when things are big, you will be there that day, and the responsibility on your body will be difficult to wash, do you know how big the stakes are? You are still young now, and it is time for you to cultivate your self-cultivation and cultivate your temperament. If you want to get ahead in everything, it means that your mind is uncertain, and you are impetuous, so how can you do great things? The imperial court let the six departments of the new science and technology scholars observe the government, focusing on one view, that is, let you see more and learn more, not let you say and do more. If you meddle in it casually, you will only harm others and yourself in the end! ”

Fan Jin remained silent, and only nodded yes. Cao Yingjia was a little confused about his attitude, and he didn't know whether he was really frightened by himself or perfunctory. The conversation changed, "Your talent is very famous, and Banzai also has your name in his heart, which is a good thing." As long as you do it yourself, you have a great future waiting for you. But what you are most afraid of is that you think you have a plan, so you can do whatever you want, and then you will bring about your own destruction. Zhu Guochen is a sloppy person in the market, and he is a slippery person, and his words cannot be trusted. Under the torture, he talked nonsense, and some people induced him, and the confession he made was inaccurate. When he arrives at the investigation of the three law divisions, most of them will retract their confessions. At that time, no one who presided over the trial that day could escape the involvement. Those factory guard eagle dogs deserve to be punished, and the old man will wait to see their good show when the time comes, but you are different. Your master Feng Pangong has some friendship with me, and I don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, I always have to look at his face and take care of you. In this way, you write a document to explain how the factory guards tortured and demanded a confession yesterday, and reversed black and white, and when the time comes, there will be no business for you, and you will not be affected by them. Otherwise, these villains will put the blame on you at that time, and your good future will be ruined, and this matter must not be taken lightly. ”

Fan Jin did not show a look of fear or gratitude on his face, but was a little dazed, as if he didn't know what Cao Yingjia was referring to.

"Thank you Cao Jianqing for your care, when visiting the throne that day, the old man only taught the students to contribute to the country, and did not mention what his best friends in the court, otherwise the students would have come to meet their predecessors. As for yesterday's interrogation of Zhu Guochen and his party, the students did experience it personally, but when it came to the torture confession, black and white were reversed, and the students did not know what the old man was referring to, and they still wanted to make it clear. ”

Is this pretending to be stupid or really stupid? Cao Yingjia has been in the law department for many years, and his eyes are like torches, and it is not easy for a cunning and cunning villain to lie in front of him. But the problem is that Fan Jin's expression at this time made him unable to see where the reality was, and he didn't know if he really didn't know what he was talking about, or if he did it on purpose.

He pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "You are young and don't understand many things, and there is a special thing in the yamen called buying confessions. It is to find some prisoners who will die, and let them bear the crimes that they did not commit themselves, how can they also suffer from a knife, as long as they undertake the crimes, they can eat and drink well in the prison and not live crimes, some people will be willing to confess, and the yamen can also cancel the old cases. On the other hand, corrupt officials and corrupt officials bribed Jiangyang thieves, framed good people, and said that innocent people were nest owners and thieves, taking the opportunity to devour their family property. The factory guards were particularly proficient in this method, and they were dedicated to coercing thieves into using such confessions to frame loyal ministers. Now that the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, there is a loyal minister under him, and he will not sit idly by and watch his misdeeds, and once this method reaches the temple, it will definitely be exposed on the spot and his crimes will be punished. Retreating from his young age, it is understandable that he has been deceived for a while. As long as you can take the initiative to confess and point out the traitor, the old man will keep you safe. ”

Fan Jin thought thoughtfully, "Dare to ask, if you are tortured, it must be considered a frame-up?" ”

"This ...... Of course you can't say that. Punishment is inevitable, and how can a prisoner be willing to recruit a prisoner who does not move the punishment. It still depends on what they asked, what they said, and what they checked. ”

Cao Yingjia couldn't directly say the name of Zhou Shichen's case, so he had to knock on the side and say: "Think about it, have they asked him to confess to any old case?" Especially in some cases that have been concluded, have you ever instructed Zhu Guochen to admit that he is a suspect? ”

"Conclusive...... Does it mean that the prisoner has been killed? Originally, when a person died, it was an iron case, but now that a murderer has emerged, there is a problem with the previous verdict. People cannot be resurrected after death, although there are unjustly killed ghosts in every temple, but the main hall of the dignified criminal department mistakenly judged the murder case and killed the innocent, which always has to be investigated. Not only must he be investigated, but those who have been approved for death on the same day must also be investigated, and those who cannot be investigated and corrected in time by the Fengxian will have to suffer some troubles. Even if you don't pursue responsibility, don't think about promotion. After all, it is irresponsible to the people to put such a fool on it. ”

When Fan Jin said this, he swept away Fang Cai's ignorant appearance, and his tone became sonorous and powerful. "The two or three splashed sticks in the capital are not a climate, but in terms of the imperial court, they are just a swarm of ants, which can be wiped out with a light sweep. However, if someone shields them, let them develop their strength, claim the king and hegemony for the sake of harming the Jingshi, and even kill people and kill people, and no one can escape responsibility. Even if they did not take the initiative to shield them, they could not investigate the case in detail, but only wanted to close the case and accuse them of being a thief. It is precisely because of such faint officials and evil officials that there is Zhu Guochen, a group of poisonous insects that harm the place. The officials involved were a little shameless, and they should have pleaded guilty and retired to the mountains and forests. If you still want to do something out of it, let the wronged continue to sink to the bottom of the sea, and let the bitter master die in vain, then you can only say that you are not worthy of being a saint's child! ”

Cao Yingjia's face changed, "Fan retreats!" You pay attention to your words, this is in Dali Temple, not in the Criminal Department! Now that you know what the old man is talking about, you ...... your words."

"I'm playing dumb for you. Anyway, I have nothing to do when I'm idle, I amuse you, I can't even see this, what did you do as Shaoqing of Dali Temple? No wonder I followed Weng Dali all the way to the black, and recognized that the three lotus flowers were murderers, I think you don't have a conscience, and your brain is also very confused. Do you want to be promoted? How many people are still afraid of harm? ”

"Presumptuous!" Cao Yingjia slapped the case with his hand and said: "Fan Jin, where did you come from to be so bold and roar in my Dali Temple?" Don't think that you can cover the sky with one hand if you collude with the factory guards, Dali Temple has the right to review the case, and when the time comes, the person in the court will retract the confession, how can the case be decided? ”

"Confession continues to be played? Didn't you use the same method when you dealt with the three lotus flowers? What kind of virtues did you have in that dossier back then, you know it in your own heart, and after doing it for so long, you won't be unable to understand the dossier, right? Think about it yourself, can you convince others if you take out such a dossier? These splashes have already admitted that they killed Zhou Shichen, and the time and place are complete. The co-defendant is willing to report the main culprit and ask for a knife to avoid punishment, and Dali Temple still wants to turn the case over? Dream! Besides, whether this Dali Temple is up to you or not, I'm afraid it's hard to say. ”

"The old man reigns for a day, and he should fulfill his responsibilities for a day. On the same day, Zhou Shichen's case was interrogated by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and his confession was detailed and there was physical evidence such as silver taels and murder knives. Judging by the results of the interrogation conducted by the Division, there was nothing wrong with it. Moreover, in the public court, Lotus and the other three also confessed their crimes, if they had to re-investigate because they retracted their confessions afterwards, there would be no peace in the yamen, and there would be no prisoner in the world who could be beheaded. In addition, the confession under the punishment of the second or third outlaw will be overturned, and if this case is opened, then there is no case in the world that cannot be reversed, and there is no wronged person. As long as the victim bribes the officials to bribe the death row prisoners, the murderer will be innocent. In the long run, there is still anyone in the world who dares to be a judge? Who else would dare to sentence him to beheading? ”

Fan Jin sneered, "It is worthy of being a constitution for many years, and his words are self-reliant, and he can really explain an unjust case with ironclad evidence." It's a pity, you are not the only one in the world who has a mouth, everyone will listen and watch. Zhu Guochen and others can even explain the details of the case clearly, how can they explain it clearly if it is not the murderer? No matter if you pull the officials of the world as a shield, or push the responsibility to the Soldiers and Horses, you can't get rid of it. Originally, you were nothing more than a lazy picket, lazy official business, although there is no hope of being promoted to a full-time official, but it is not difficult to keep your current position, and it is a big deal to become a senior officer a few years in advance. But now, you are trying in vain to cover up the evidence of the crime and cover up the suspect, since the moment Fan walked into Dali Temple, your black yarn has not been able to wear it tightly! ”

Cao Yingjia was shocked, and when he saw Fan Jin's confident appearance, he seemed to have a certain victory. He checked his words and deeds, although there were some excessive words, but there was no circumstantial evidence to enter Fan Jin's ears with his own mouth, and he would definitely not be able to attack himself by relying on this. What basis does it have to take off its own black veil?

Just as he was thinking, the messenger suddenly shouted outside the door, "Reply, I have important business to report to you." ”

"Come in."

When the messenger walked in, his face was a little panicked, and he saluted Cao Yingjia: "The master is not good. And a woman went to the Metropolitan Inspectorate to beat the drums. ”

"Bastard! When no one in the Metropolitan Procuratorate complains about it, what does it have to do with us? ”

"Yes...... But the woman sued our Dali Temple, saying that we arrested Fan Chuanlu and entered the Dali Temple, intending to shield the criminals, which was not good for Fan Chuanyu. ”

Cao Yingjia suddenly changed color, looked at Fan Jin and said, "Fan Huisi, did you instruct a woman to spray people with blood, thinking that you could harm the old man?" ”

Fan Jin smiled and said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, this is just the beginning, and it will be good in a while." ”

Before the words fell, another messenger had already run in and said, "The big lord is not good, and a member of the criminal department has several brocade guards rushing in, saying that they want to see Fan Chuanyu." ”

Cao Yingjia realized at this time that he had fallen back into Fan Jin's trap, and he was afraid that he had invited him to come over to talk about the number, and he had already made preparations within his calculations. He only felt dizzy in his mind, and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly hold him down for me, to prevent this guy from harming himself and framing him!" ”
