Coming so fast?

Seeing Shang Shu Shen of the Scholar Department of Wenyuan Pavilion University in front, and the eunuch Zhang Whale of the Celebrant Bingbi was behind, leading the entourage to escort from the direction of the Forbidden City, all the officials present were taken aback.

The imperial power of the Ming Dynasty was subject to many restrictions, and the emperor's direct issuance of the holy decree was called the middle decree, which was theoretically illegal, and the officials could dismiss it as it was and not follow it - of course, most of the time, the hundred officials would give the emperor a face and follow the decree.

It is a legitimate official decree that is drafted by the cabinet, approved by the emperor himself or authorized by the emperor as a celebrant and then transferred back to the cabinet and sent to the six sections, and finally handed in the Chinese book for transcription.

The decree can only be issued by the eunuchs, and only the official decrees that comply with the legal procedures can be issued by civil officials, and the lower level of affairs will only send officials of the pedestrian department and the secretary of the ministry and the department, and the more senior ones will send officials at the level of six ministers and scholars, and send ministers to issue decrees, which is a holy decree involving important military affairs.

In addition to Zhang Whale who is here now, there is also the cabinet Sanfu Shen Shixing, which means that this holy decree is completely in accordance with legal procedures, and the content is extremely important!

The point is that it has only been about half an hour since the case was discovered, and this holy decree has gone through the procedures of drafting, approving red, and copying by the cabinet of six sections.

Thinking of this, the mood of all the officials became heavy, even Liu Shouyou and Yan Qing couldn't care about gloating, if they really wanted to make some trouble, wouldn't Jinyiwei and the Criminal Department have no responsibility at all? In case there is any recurrence in the case, everyone will not follow suit?

Only Qin Lin, who was the person concerned, was not in a hurry, and just looked at the ground with his head down, as if there was a flower on the ground.

On the contrary, Yan Qing and Liu Shouyou cautiously greeted him, and Shi Li asked, "Old ...... Shen Ge"

"Stop!" Qin Lin broke off his drink, and Yan Qing and Liu Shouyou's ears buzzed.

Shen Shixing was being helped off the horse by the servants, and he stumbled when he heard the sound, if it weren't for the quick eyes of the entourage, he was afraid that he would have to fall on the spot.

"You, you ......" Yan Qing pointed at Qin Lin, his hands trembling with anger.

Liu Shouyou also blew his beard and glared at him, his eyes rolled, and he rushed up to help Shen Shixing: "Shen Ge Lao, slow down...... Qin Lin, what the hell are you doing! ”

Qin Lin sneered and pointed to a few horseshoe prints on the ground: "Governor Liu, I'm good for you." You almost stepped on the evidence at the scene, hum, if it affects the judgment of the case, the court will blame it, I'm afraid you and I can't afford it! ”

All horses for people to drive, all four hooves must be nailed with hooves, otherwise the hooves of the horses will be hard to wear, Xu Xinyi rode the night jade lion is of course no exception, the bluestone pavement at the scene of the collision was rubbed by the shoes, leaving several white marks of different shades.

Liu Shouyou looked at his feet and shook off his robe: "It's really a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain!" Shocked Mr. Shen, if you just fall off the horse, you can't afford to be guilty! ”

Shen Shixing deserved to be a good gentleman, and shook his hand again and again: "The old man is nothing, nothing." ”

The three auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng is eloquent, Zhang Siwei has a honey-bellied sword, only Shen Shixing is a good man, it is said that he has never had his own opinion in front of Zhang Juzheng, and will only follow the trend and Xiao Gui Cao.

Qin Lin didn't have much to do with him in the past, but at this time, it seemed that the rumors were indeed true, and when Shen Shixing waved his hand, his face was even a little embarrassed, as if he was afraid that others would worry about him.

"Ahem," Zhang Whale didn't think much of Shen Shixing's behavior, and reminded him that it was time to pass on the decree.

"It's better for Grandpa Zhang," Shen Shixing smiled softly.

In fact, the senior officials of the DPRK and China did not take Shen Shixing very seriously, because this old gentleman had almost no will of his own, and behaved like a soft dough to be kneaded.

Zhang Jing didn't shirk it, took the holy decree and unfolded it, not in a hurry to read it first, but glanced at Qin Lin with a sneer.

Could it be that it is not good for Qin Lin? Liu Shouyou and Yan Qing's heartbeats were much faster than usual.

Zhang Whale read slowly: "The edict said, in the case of the death of Huangtaiji's wife and Yipin's wife Dema, the Jinyi guards commanded Qin Lin to investigate in detail, and he must be impartial and straightforward, and serve the hearts of distant people, earnestly!" ”

What, is there a mistake in asking Qin Lin, the husband of the party, to investigate the case?

The officials opened their mouths together, Yan Qing, who was squinting his eyes and enjoying himself, almost dislocated his chin, Liu Shouyou was also confused, and looked at Zhang Whale inexplicably: Father-in-law Zhang, since this is the will, why did you sneer like that just now? I thought the surname Qin was unlucky!

Zhang Whale also returned a resentful look, and said in his heart, Am I not willing to ask the surname Qin to fall a big heel? But the four words of the Holy Lady Youlong are really not covered, and even the Empress Dowager Li speaks for him, so it can only be like this...... However, it is not easy for the surname Qin to escape this catastrophe, and the meaning of the last two sentences of the holy decree is a bit fun to figure out.

Zhang Gongyu was confused, Huang Jiashan was shrewd and capable, and when he heard the first half of the holy decree, he was relieved, but when he finished reading, he secretly pinched Qin Lin's sweat.

The holy decree is meaningful, so that Qin Lin, the husband of the party, does not have to avoid and personally investigates the case, which cannot but be said to be a considerable degree of trust; But "he must be impartial and straightforward, and convince the hearts of those who are far away", that is, tell him to watch and do it, at least to convince the Mongols, if even this cannot be done...... Is it really your family who opened the imperial court? No one can save him!

Feeling Huang Jiashan's kindness, Qin Lin nodded at him confidently while receiving the order and thanking him: Since the imperial court has given me the power to solve the case, I am still afraid of this matter! Empress Dowager Li and Wanli's holy family, Zhang Juzheng's favor, and the support of the same party in the DPRK and China, Lao Tzu doesn't need the same, Lao Tzu can call Huang Taiji to eat with just these two eyes!

"Ahem, this official is ordered to handle the case, and all kinds of people will be heard one by one," Qin Lin shook his official authority and shouted at Xu Xinyi: "Xu, how did you ride a horse and kill Mrs. Dema, do everything for this official, and you can't hide it!" ”

Why are you so fierce? Jin Yingji pouted at Qin Lin.

Zhang Jing and Liu Shouyou secretly said that it was not good: Could it be that someone in Qin wants to lose his pawn to protect the car, and really deal with Xu Xinyi under the pressure of the holy decree? Then this guy is ruthless enough!

Xu Jue and Chen Yingfeng nodded, feeling that Qin Lin's choice was taken for granted, and they did the same for the two of them, the strong man broke his wrist and killed his relatives in righteousness.

Only Xu Xinyi could see it clearly, Qin Lin squeezed her eyes, and the eldest lady, who was originally pouting, suddenly smiled, and said it loudly.

"Fart, nonsense!" Huang Taiji's side immediately shouted, and things completely changed in their mouths.

However, the only eyewitness Huang Sandan, who stood on the side of the Mongols, still insisted on the testimony that "Xu Xinyi did not rein in or evade the horse, and directly killed Mrs. Dema" under Qin Lin's interrogation.

In Huang Sandan's mouth, Xu Xinyi didn't care about human life at all, and ran horses unscrupulously in Beijing, so he died.

Xu Xinyi's mouth could hang an oil bottle, and he wanted to scold Huang Sandan several times, but he was persuaded by Jin Yingji.

"Sister, don't worry, my husband will have a way," Jin Yingji comforted softly.

Of course, Xu Xinyi puffed up her chest, she had absolute confidence in Qin Lin.

However, in addition to the two parties involved at the time of the crime, there was only one eyewitness Huang Sandan, even if he knew that he was blatantly lying, how could he expose him?

Qin Lin's gaze was as sharp as a knife, and he stared at Huang Sandan's face fiercely: "Huang Sandan, this official asks one last time, are you sure you remember correctly?" ”

Forced to look at Qin Lin, Huang Sandan only felt that the other party's gaze was like a steel nail, nailed to his heart, he looked at Huang Taiji and Bahechi timidly, and finally gritted his teeth, and said stubbornly: "Back to the chief's words, the grass people really saw it, not a bad point, if there is half a lie, the sky will hit five thunders!" ”

"Good, good!" Qin Lin suddenly laughed, then picked up a big slap and slapped Huang Sandan in the face, making him dizzy.

"General Qin, you?" Shen Shixing was stunned.

Bahechi and Gurge Taiji immediately clamored, saying that Qin Lin bent the law for personal gain and openly beat the witnesses.

Bending the law for personal gain? Qin Lin sneered: "Okay, this official will let you see the evidence, damn, lying in front of this official, you don't want to live Huang Sandan?" ”

Qin Lin's heart was on fire, and he grabbed Huang Sandan's neck and pressed it to the ground: "Open your dog's eyes and see clearly, what is this white mark on the ground?" Stepping on the horse, pig! ”

Everyone looked closely, and there were indeed four white marks of different shades, but it was not unusual for the horse's hooves to rub against the ground.

Others don't know, but Qin Lin knows it well, just like sudden braking will cause the tires to rub against the ground and leave brake marks, and horses running at high speed will suddenly be strangled and turned, and the shoes will also leave special marks on the ground.

Qin Lin threw Huang Sandan on the ground, pointed to the imprints and explained: "Fellow civil and military colleagues, please see, it is true that there are many marks knocked out by horses' hooves on the bluestone road, some new and some old, some deep and some shallow, but these four are new seals, and they are definitely left by the horses ridden by the Xu clan - fat man, Dali, you two unload one of the hooves of the jade lion in the night, and compare them." ”

The two of them also took care of the horses in the house, and unloaded a piece of the left front leg of the farrier by dividing it by two, according to Qin Lin's instructions, the ox vigorously took the farrier and wiped it on the ground vigorously, and with a ding, it was a white mark of how long the ruler was.

Clearly, this white mark is exactly the same as one of the four marks that were originally left on the ground.

Seeing that all the officials nodded in unison, Qin Lin smiled: "Let's take a look again, originally this string of hoof prints is normal and shallow, one by one is not continuous, coming all the way from south to north, it is a normal run; But when I got to the front of this alley, it suddenly became deeper and longer, and it dragged on the ground, which was caused by the emergency stop of Lema. ”

The officials nodded yes one after another, after Qin Lin's explanation, it was clearly a very simple truth, why didn't you think of it just now?

Huang Sandan's face was very ugly.

Qin Lin asked with a smile: "Huang Sandan, you said that the Xu family was arrogant and domineering and didn't take human life seriously, and directly killed Mrs. Delma without reining in the horse, then this official has to ask you to explain, why did the ground leave the marks of the farrier when reining in the horse?" ”
