Zhang Sheng, the second steward of Hongci Satin Village, was sitting in the lobby of the pusher at the moment, looking at the shopkeeper and subordinates of the Li family who were beaten below, and he was really happy in his heart. In the past, the business of his own store was not good, and he blamed it on the Li family, but now the new account and the old account are counted together, how can it not be comfortable. The Li family has a lot of money, and when the time comes, they will be convicted, and they will all be accepted by the lord, and they will at least get some rewards.

When he was thinking about how much the lord could give him, an errand came up to him and told him that Lord Yue of the Criminal Department had an invitation.

He had also heard of Yue Su's name, and as for Yue Su's promotion to the secretary of the Criminal Department, he had just heard that he was a bitter master, and he had the support of the lord, so he was so scared that he swaggered and followed the messenger to the mansion Yin Hall.

When he came to Yue Su's hall, Zhang Sheng bowed and saluted, "Zhang Sheng, the steward of the British Mansion, see your lordship." ”

The title of the steward of Hongci Satin Village is as loud as the steward of the British Mansion, so Zhang Sheng has a big and small one, and directly shows the identity of the master.

Yue Su glanced at Zhang Sheng on it, and saw that he had a fat head and big ears, a wide body and a fat body, and his big belly was not inferior to that of a pregnant woman. Seeing this dignified face, Lord Yue was suspicious in his heart, this guy obviously wanted to fight and couldn't move, he wanted to run and couldn't move, those robbers could kill all the guards, how did this guy survive the rest of his life?

was silent at the moment, and asked lightly: "It turned out to be the steward of the British Mansion, disrespectful and disrespectful, I wonder if the lord is in good health now?" ”

"The lord is in good health, thank you for your concern." Seeing that Yue Su gave face to the British public, Zhang Sheng was very happy, and it is estimated that this lawsuit has not been run.

"That's good." Yue Su said with a smile: "I heard that the official said that the silk goods in your mansion were robbed, what kind of thing is this?" ”

"Back to my lord, here's the thing, my grandfather's maternal uncle, opened a silk village in the city, that is, a small business, after the end of this year, send a small one to Huzhou to buy some silk goods, planning to come back to weave silk, do not want to be on the Bazhou Road, encountered robbers and robbers. This gang of robbers, who claimed to be from Li Ji Satin Village, must have found out that my family had sent someone to buy goods in advance, and they were afraid of robbing their business, so they started halfway. When my grandfather found out about this, he was very angry, so he sent the little one to complain here, hoping that the adult would be the master. "When Zhang Sheng said the six words 'I still hope that the adults will be the masters', his tone did not have the pity of ordinary people at all, and it was reasonable for him to behave, and you, Lord Yue, must do this for my grandfather.

"Why does Motobu think something is a little strange? This robber is also bold, robbing the lord's silk goods, and even daring to use his own banner, isn't this looking for death? Yue Su asked lightly.

"They didn't mean to announce the name, but inadvertently said it in passing, thinking that everyone had been killed, so they couldn't hold back their mouths. Who would have thought that the sky has eyes, and the small ones have great fortunes, and they can hide in the ditch and avoid this catastrophe in order to sue their evil deeds in court. Immediately, Zhang Sheng told the events of the day from beginning to end.

After listening to Zhang Sheng's story, Yue Su said: "According to what you say, did the robbers investigate your situation in advance and learn about your itinerary, so they intended to rob and kill them on the road?" ”

"Exactly." Zhang Sheng nodded.

Yue Su pondered carefully, the Li family did have this strength, but now he dared to assert that this matter would never be done by the Li family, and someone must have framed him. Why do you say this, because since the Li family wants to do it, how many people are on the other side, they will naturally find out, and all such things must be killed and extinguished, clean and neat, without leaving any handles. How can you not even know that there is one less, especially the one who is less is still the leader. Leaving such a big tail, isn't it uncomfortable for yourself? Yue Su didn't break it, but just said: "The judgment of the Ministry Hall never wronged a good person, and never let go of a wicked person, your steward can rest assured, the Ministry Hall will definitely be fair and clear." However, you said that all the silk goods were robbed, and all the men and guards who went with you were killed, this is all your words, and even the corpses of the servants have not been seen by the main department, who can guarantee that it is not you and those people who are guarding and stealing the silk goods privately? In this way, when Ming Shu is announced, you will lead the way, go to the place where the crime occurred, investigate thoroughly, and see if you can find some more clues. Speaking of this, Yue Su looked at Shi Youming, and said, "Shi Tuiguan, what do you think?" ”

"What my lord said is extremely true, we must pay attention to personal and physical evidence in judging the case, and now I haven't even been to the scene of the crime, how can we make a hasty conclusion." In front of Lord Yue, of course, you must show righteousness and brightness, and you can't show favoritism.

"What the adults said is reasonable, but ...... But those corpses and silk goods were taken away by the Li family, and they must have destroyed the corpses, so where to find them. I think my lord, if you judge the people of the Li family strictly, you can draw evidence from their mouths. Zhang Sheng said with some dissatisfaction.

"Bastard! As the secretary of the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Justice is in charge of the Shuntian Mansion, how to judge the case, do you still need to be taught? Besides, this case happened in Bazhou, and it is not right for you not to go there to complain, but to sue Shuntianfu directly. For the sake of the lord, the ministry doesn't care about you, and you dare not know what to do. Believe it or not, this ministry will now flog you fifty for the crime of overstepping the prosecution! "Yue Su has always eaten soft rather than hard, if you dare to be the boss in front of him, he will dare to be unkind to you.

After hearing this, Zhang Sheng immediately stopped moving, and when he was famous, his heart trembled, and he secretly said in his heart that this case happened on the ground in Bazhou, although it is said that it is the jurisdiction of Shuntianfu, but the imperial court has regulations, and where the case occurs must be sued first, and only if he is dissatisfied with the verdict can he appeal. This case happened in Bazhou, but Zhang Sheng didn't even inform the local government, so he directly sued Shuntianfu, and he followed up, isn't it uncomfortable. I can only pray that Lord Yue will not pursue it for the sake of being a British public officer.

Seeing that Zhang Sheng was deflated, Yue Su said: "Okay, you can go back for the time being, when the headquarters leaves for Bazhou to investigate, I will send someone to pass you on." When you go back, you will tell the lord, and you will say that the headquarters will deal with it impartially. ”

"Thank you, my lord, the little one will retire first." In front of Yue Su, Zhang Sheng didn't dare to make a mistake, bowed and retreated.

When Zhang Sheng left, Yue Su looked at Shi Youming again and said, "Shi Tuiguan, are you guilty?" ”

Shi Youming was afraid that Yue Su would ask this, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran to the bottom of the steps, knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly: "The lower official is guilty...... Just ......"

"Just what?" Yue Su asked coldly.

"It's just...... That's the case of the British bus, and the little ones dare not do it......"

"What about the case he confessed to? Do you have the right to overstep the level of acceptance, and don't you have the right to make a statement to the Prophet before accepting it? Yue Su asked.

"Xiaguan...... Xia Guan planned to wait for the adults to return to their homes before informing them...... I didn't expect ...... My lord...... First, I know first......" Yue Su's voice became stern, and sometimes he trembled even more. He was also afraid that Yue Su would directly suspend him and impeach him. That's a one-size-fits-all approach.

"Is that all you have to do?" Yue Su said coldly.

"That'...... I don't know...... And also...... What else ......?" Shi Youming said cautiously. When he said this, his throat went to his throat.

"As a magistrate in charge of prison proceedings, don't you even know the most basic common sense of adjudication? said that the Li family killed people and robbed goods, but it is just one side, there is no evidence in it, you don't go to the scene to investigate and collect evidence, and you don't even find the body, so you dare to confiscate Li Ji Satin Village first, what is the reason? Yue Su asked sharply.

"This ...... Xia Guan is also helpless...... It's really the British government's urgency...... The lower officials don't dare not do it......" Shi Youming explained.

"Bastard! In your heart, is this court law designed for the British duke? I think you're about to come to the end of your job! Yue Su "snapped" the public case and shouted: "Take off the black yarn yourself, go home and suspend your job!" ”

"This ......" Shi Youming immediately deflated the eggplant, but he didn't dare to disobey, and said, "Thank you, sir." After speaking, he took off the black yarn by himself.

Yue Su ordered again to release all the detained members of the Li family in the official yamen, and the Li family's silk village and house were also unsealed.

Since Yue Su took charge of Shuntian Mansion, the servants there have been much more restrained, don't look at the raided Li family's silk village and mansion, but the property inside really dare not blatantly put it in his pocket, at most it is to pick up some scattered silver in the corner. The Li family has a big business, and they don't care about this little change, so the matter will be stopped.

Subsequently, Yue Su retired from the hall and returned to the back office, where he met Li Yuanchen again.

Li Yuanchen was waiting in the hall, and when he saw Yue Su coming in, he immediately got up and bowed down and said, "Brother, how is this case investigated?" ”

"Brother Xian, don't worry, sit down and talk." Yue Su first asked Tie Qiu to close the door, walked to Li Yuanchen's side and sat down, and said: "Brother Fool is now roughly numbered, this case is quite suspicious, I don't think it was done by Brother Xian's family, it should be framed by someone impersonating." ”

"Thank you, brother Mingjian." Li Yuanchen hurriedly got up again and thanked him.

Yue Su motioned again to sit down, and then said: "At present, this is indeed the case, but if you want to crack it, you still have to fall on the virtuous brother." ”

"What does my brother send, but it doesn't matter, my Li family will be all over the ground and go all out." Li Yuanchen said.

"Since the other party robbed the silk goods of the British Duke under the banner of the virtuous brother's family, he must have a deep hatred with the virtuous brother's family, and he also has a certain amount of power, otherwise it would never be like this. Virtuous brother, think about it, who will do it, and have this ability? ”

"This ......" Yue Su's question made it really difficult for Li Yuanchen to answer. The Li family's enemies have gone a lot, but who would do such a thing, Li Yuanchen really can't think of it. Because the Li family has always adhered to a purpose, cutting grass without leaving roots, and anyone who is against his own family, after being defeated, will never give you a chance to rise up and take revenge. But Yue Su's words are not false at all, he intends to blame the trouble, he must have an enmity with his own family, but who will the enemy be?

Li Yuanchen pondered for a long time, and finally came up with someone.
