Chapter 195: Questioning
According to the inspector, Wang Ren's forehead couldn't help but show sweat, he was in charge of a provincial criminal law, originally a murder case under His Majesty's nose was enough for the ministry to give himself an inferior evaluation, but now the situation seems to be even worse than this, if it is really a big case that will shock the whole country, Wang Ren does not know if he will have to be dismissed by His Majesty later.

Looking at the corpses that were carried out in front of him, Qu 0 Fuzhi County Kong Zhenkan was already trembling with his legs at this time, he was originally born in Bagong, he finally spent some money to get this hereditary Qu 0 Fuzhi County from Kong Yansheng Gong Kong Yinzhi, but now Qufu is almost the world of the Kong family, and he has not had time to recover the cost of being an official.
This is nothing, as an official of Qu 0fu's parents, as long as he has a good relationship with the big squires represented by Kong Yan Shenggong, the big squires will also repay him with peach and give him some benefits, at least so that he can meet the wish of "three years of Qing Governor's Mansion and 100,000 snowflakes of silver". But now that there is such a big case, Kong Zhenkan of Qufu Zhixian County no longer dares to hope that he can stay in the position of Qu0 Fuzhi County and continue to make money, I just hope that my head will not fall.
At this time, Zuo Bu's political envoy Gu Tingzhuo and Yanzhou prefect Luo Maoji also rushed over, and saw that there were countless soldiers digging in the area and digging rocks, and they were in full swing. The two of them were asking each other what had happened, and when they saw the front, a servant shouted as if inviting merit: "Come on, there is a hand here!" ”
As soon as the official greeted, several soldiers came over, sprinkled lime, and after doing some simple epidemic prevention treatment, they began to dig out the soil. Yi Zuo also hurried over, put on homemade embalming gloves, covered his nose and mouth with a linen cloth, and said: "Spread out immediately after digging, don't get close, be careful that evil qi will pass on you." ”
The evil qi mentioned by the pretence actually refers to some anaerobic infectious bacteria that are concentrated around this natural medium due to the decomposition of the corpse, and everyone also knows the danger of these evil qi, and after excavating, they also consciously retreated, and only let the pretence work here.
After the work was completed, the soldiers, who also covered their mouths and noses and wore lime powder gloves, came over and carried the corpse aside and gathered it, covered it with a drape, and waited for someone to come and confirm it.
Although the magistrate Kong Zhenkan knew that he was likely to lose his official position, he did not dare to neglect his duties in front of His Majesty, so he had already sent people to inquire around, but there were people who were missing, whose people had recently gone far away, etc., although some of the corpses had decomposed, but some of them could still maintain their basic appearance, and the immediate family members might be able to distinguish them.
Seeing this meeting, Zuo Bu's political envoy Gu Tingzhuo also guessed that there was probably some big case to happen, and he was also a little worried that His Majesty would make a big fuss about it, so he couldn't help but turn to Luo Maoji, the governor of Yan0 Prefecture, and asked: "Dongya, if I ask you next, you have to answer truthfully, this is related to your future and mine, understand?" ”
"Xia Guan understands", Luo Maoji's heart is also like turning over the river and the sea at this time, although he has been living with the snort of the Confucian family, although he lives in the Sipin Prefect's Mansion, he is still a little inferior and cowardly, and now he can't pay the slightest attention, so he can only honestly listen to the arrangement of Zuo Bu's political envoy Gu Tingzhuo.
"As far as this official knows, your master is good at housework, and the number of maids in the family is even comparable to that of the court, but now these corpses are related to your master?"
Gu Tingzhuo's eyes looked at Luo Maoji like a knife, and he saw that Luo Maoji's heart was furious, and he didn't know what to say for a while, he was a personal servant next to his master Kong Yansheng Gong Kong Yinzhi since he was a child, and he naturally knew his master's temperament, but he didn't want to tell outsiders about his master's habits.
Seeing Luo Maoji's spitting, Zuo Bu's political envoy Gu Tingzhuo was also a little annoyed, and scolded in a low voice: "Yes is yes, no is no, now this situation is not only related to you and my official position, but also related to the life of your lord, and even related to the future fate of the gentry in the world!" ”
"Yes, yes!" Luo Maoji, the prefect of Yanzhou, nodded: "The student also heard by chance that the case of the disappearance of the daughter named Kong Zhiqi disappeared in the old man's mansion, and the old man also secretly instructed me to press this matter down." ”
Gu Tingzhuo saw Youdongchang's fan coming over and waved his hand at Luo Maoji, but Luo Maoji had to wave his hand.
Then, Gu Tingzhuo walked over like a nobody, and saw that the current saint Zhu Youxiao was also there, so he bowed down to Zhu Youxiao very respectfully: "Wechen has seen Your Majesty, I don't know that Your Majesty has come here in person, and the next official is one step late, you are guilty and guilty." ”
Luo Maoji, the prefect of Yanzhou, also followed to make amends.
"Get up and talk back, I also came here temporarily, I don't blame you", Zhu Youxiao said, in the sultry woods, the green grass was already covered with a full forty corpses and bones, this is the result of mobilizing almost the entire governor of the yamen and the people of the inspection yamen to dig up the entire grassland.
Even Zhu Youxiao, as a person who had been in the dissection room in his previous life, felt extremely shocked at this moment.
Moreover, the forty corpses, which were either visible or decomposed to the point of remaining, were all women between the ages of thirteen and sixteen when examined through their pelvic frames.
The servant summoned by the Qu 0 Fu County Order also came over at this time: "Your Majesty, and all the old men, the grass people have checked and understood that these forty corpses are all thirteen to sixteen women, and they have all been whipped and beaten before they died, and the methods are very cruel, among which fifteen people have broken bones, and seven people have bitten their jawbones, guessing that they are unbearable and bite their tongues to commit suicide." ”
"Qu 0 Fu County Ling Kong Zhenkan, Yan 0 Prefecture Governor Luo Maoji!"
Zhu Youxiao asked coldly.
Qu 0 Fuzhi County Kong Zhenkan was so frightened that he directly collapsed to the ground at this time, and Luo Maoji, the prefect of Yanzhou, also replied with a smile: "Weichen is here!" ”
"What's going on, the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, the birthplace of Confucianism, but there is such a shocking case, what do you have to say as parents here!"
Zhu Youxiao asked a question, then flicked his sleeves angrily, turned his back and left.
Kong Zhenkan hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he didn't care about the land full of sludge, so he knelt down directly, kowtowed like pounding garlic and said: "Wechen is guilty, Weichen is guilty!" ”
Luo Maoji, the prefect of Yanzhou 0, was already there with a pestle, his mind couldn't turn at this time, he was an official earned by his own master, even with fame, and even he himself was his own master, so even if he stood in front of Emperor Zhu Youxiao and faced Zhu Youxiao's questioning, he was indifferent.
Zhu Youxiao did not reprimand the magistrates of these two prefectures and counties again, but turned to look at Wang Ren, the envoy of the inspection department, and Yan Louxi, the deputy envoy of the inspection road, who also arrived at this time: "And you are in charge of the criminal law of a province, and you are entrusted by the imperial court, so you should seek benefits for the local area and uphold justice for the people. ”
According to the inspection envoy Wang Renhe sub-patrol Dao Taiyan Lou Xi also had to sue again and again, but at the same time a little bitter, how did they know that a civilian little person would complain about such a big thing, and logically speaking, such a person dared to go straight to the sub-patrol road and the inspection envoy Yamen to complain, not to mention justice, I am afraid that they will also be charged with picking quarrels and provoking troubles and being sent to prison.
However, as local officials, they don't have the consciousness to be clean officials, how can they have the leisure to pay attention to the affairs of **, and the mundane affairs are generally handed over to the master or reliable people under them to deal with, and they don't know if Kong Zhiqi has also been locked up, but even if he has been locked up, someone in the yamen must have released him, or he has some other way.
The two of them now gritted their teeth with hatred for Kong Zhiqi, and secretly made up their minds to go back and rectify the interior, and actually let a common people appear in front of the emperor, this is simply a serious dereliction of duty, very serious! (To be continued.) )
