To govern the troubled times with heavy regulations, to be merciful to corrupt officials and corrupt officials is to be cruel to oneself, let go of these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, Zheng Xunrui, the governor of Shaanxi, should not think about doing anything.

Generally speaking, Fuzhou County is the place where the key cases are heard, and when there are problematic cases, the criminal department will also be specially arraigned, if the governor yamen wants to open a court to hear the case, then I am afraid that it will involve officials, or it is a case that has attracted the attention of the imperial court.

Looking at Cao Chi, Ma Yilan, Qian Gongzi, and Cao Chi's parents who were kneeling on the ground, Zheng Xunrui spoke with a stern expression.

"Where is the knowledge of Xi'an Mansion?"

A snow-white official came out of the team tremblingly.

"Your Excellency."

"Lord Qian, do you know these people kneeling in front of you?"

The Tongzhi of the Xi'an Mansion couldn't hold back and knelt on the ground.

"The lower officials have no way to teach their children, and they are willing to accept the punishment of adults."

"Lord Qian, don't be so nervous, wait until the official concludes the case, and then discuss other matters."

Glancing coldly at many officials, the case began to be heard, the files of Cao Chi and Ma Yilan had already been brought from the Xi'an Mansion, Zheng Xunrui looked at the files silently, the lobby was very silent, and no one spoke.

This kind of atmosphere of trying a case is very rare, and the officials of the three divisions, the prefect's yamen, and the county government are all present, watching the governor try the case, and I don't know what kind of mood they are in at the moment.

"Cao Chi, Ma Yilan, this official retries your case today, I hope you will tell the truth, if there is a lie, this official will never be polite."

Cao Chi sorted out the feelings and began to tell.

The case is not complicated, Cao Chi is a native of Pingliang Mansion, the identity of a member, Ma Yilan is his fiancée, the marriage between the two has passed through the orders of his parents and the words of the matchmaker, and the rogue is wanton, Ma Yilan first followed his family to Xi'an Fucheng, Cao Chi then followed his family to Xi'an, in Xi'an Fucheng, the conditions cannot be compared with the family, Ma Yilan occasionally went to the street for a walk, but because of his beautiful appearance, he attracted the attention of the son of the Tongzhi Qian in Xi'an Mansion, and wanted to find someone to propose marriage and accept him as a concubine, Ma Yilan swore to die, The family also said that they already had a marriage contract.

The next thing is simple, Cao Chi was arrested in the prison of the government because of fornication, and under severe torture, he was forced to admit to colluding with the rogue, Ma Yilan was also charged with collusion because he swore not to obey Qian Gongzi, and his family spent countless silver taels, but he couldn't save the two.

Cao Chisheng was deprived of his identity, and his fame was also deprived.

Of course, in such a case, it is impossible to have a very detailed file, let alone any evidence, anyway, the parties confess their accounts, which is the crime of colluding with the gangsters. What makes people feel strange is that although these people are accused of colluding with the rogues, they have not really colluded with the rogues, which means that there has never been a rebellion of the rogues in Xi'an.

There is no excuse for the sin that you want to add, this is very typical.

Next is what Mr. Qian said.

The formation above the lobby had already paralyzed this straw bag boy, Zheng Xunrui just opened his mouth to ask, and Qian Gongzi poured beans into the bamboo tube, and began to tell all the bad things he had done before, which saved Zheng Xunrui a lot of trouble.

Qian Gongzi's confession made Cao Chi and Ma Yilan's accusation of colluding with the rogues self-defeating.

But everyone knows that things are not so simple, Qian Gongzi did not have the ability to let Cao Chi and Ma Yilan go directly to the prison, and let the two be imprisoned on death row, unless there was an official secretly helping.

Above the lobby, there are already officials whose bodies are trembling slightly, they have ghosts in their hearts, and they know that the inside story is about to be exposed, and they are afraid that it will be difficult to die well today, but they came to the governor's yamen in a hurry, without making the slightest preparation, at this time, they have no chance to make up for it.

All the confessions, Cao Chi, Ma Yilan and Qian Gongzi all drew a charge.

At this time, Xu Wanghua came to the lobby, walked to Zheng Xunrui's side, and put a stack of materials on the table.

Zheng Xunrui looked at these materials carefully, and his face gradually lost expression.

"Cao Chi, Ma Yilan, you have been wronged and put on death row, this official will correct your name today, Cao Chi and Ma Yilan are not guilty, they will be released in court, Cao Chi will be restored to his status, and the treasury will extract one hundred taels of silver, as a compensation, you go home and live a good life."

Cao Chi, who has always been strong, couldn't help but shed tears when he heard Zheng Xunrui's words, and Ma Yilan was already crying.

Cao Chi's parents kept kowtowing to Zheng Xunrui, and it was not easy for the officials to help a few people up and send them out.

Kneeling above the lobby, there was still Qian Gongzi left.

Zheng Xunrui waved his hand in disgust, and Qian Gongzi was quickly escorted away and put in the prison of the governor's yamen.

The lobby became unusually quiet.

"Over the years, there have been a lot of people colluding with the Liukou, and the official is a little strange, this collusion with the Liukou, always need to do something bad, but Xi'an Fucheng doesn't seem to have encountered the threat of the Liukou, and I don't know how these people colluded, I don't know which Liukou they colluded with, when the official exterminated the Liukou in Henan, he killed a lot of people, and also asked some of the Liukou, but I never heard them say who colluded with them, it seems that the official made some mistakes, and he should have asked at the time, and he had the evidence, Wouldn't it be beautiful to find these gentry and rich people in turn and extort a sum of money. ”

Some people have long been unable to stand on their feet and have begun to sift the chaff.

"This official has some evidence here, which is explained by the official of the Xi'an Mansion, and the sergeant of the Zheng family army has gone to verify it, in addition, the yamen of the inspection department has been sealed, and the ruffians in the north and suburbs of the city have also been arrested, and the official doesn't want to say more, among you, whoever is willing to take the initiative to confess, stand up, the official will consider it as appropriate, if you want to resist to the end, then don't blame the official for being polite."

The first one to stand up and kneel down was the Tongzhi of Xi'an Mansion, whose son was arrested, and he had explained it very clearly just now.

Next, several officials stood up and knelt in the middle of the lobby.

The prefect of Xi'an did not stand up.

Zheng Xunrui thought of a sentence: If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears.

"Mr. Xu, according to the questions explained by the officials of the Xi'an Mansion, I ordered Zheng Jiajun to raid the mansions of several of these people."

The lobby instantly became suffocated, what it means to raid the mansion, everyone knows it, even if it is the commander of the envoy, there are only so many Yulu, and if you really go to the house to raid it, so many silver taels, how to explain it.

At this time, everyone finally understood that the governor in front of him was not simple at all, he did things neatly, and he was able to grasp the most important part, so that the opponent did not have any chance to fight back.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't leave for the time being, the governor yamen provides meals for you, and you can't be hungry, but this official hopes that you will think about it, how to face the dirty things you have done in the past, think about it, what you have done, is it right for the emperor and the court, if someone is willing to take the initiative to explain, find Mr. Xu, don't want to say, this official is not reluctant, when the time comes, you go to the capital, go to Dali Temple to say it."

After saying these words, Zheng Xunrui got up and left the lobby, leaving more than a hundred officials here.

Entering the wing, Xu Wanghua was already waiting.

"My lord, the problem of unjust imprisonment in Xi'an Fucheng is extremely complicated, and there are too many officials involved, if you investigate it carefully, I am afraid that most of the officials will be involved, and my subordinates feel that the investigation and punishment are too large, and I am afraid that the impact will be too great."

Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly and slowly spoke.

"What Mr. Xu said is that I just came to Shaanxi, if in such a short period of time, so that many officials in the province, government, prefecture, and county have been investigated and punished, this is really unreasonable, the law does not blame the public, this is really a certain truth, since Mr. Xu said these concerns, he must have thought of a solution, you might as well talk about it."

"Among the materials currently in the possession of the subordinates, there are more than ten major officials who participated in and led the affairs of unjust imprisonment, and these people cannot be forgiven and must be dealt with, and the rest of the officials who have received benefits can not be pursued for the time being, but they need to be admonished, the prisons of the provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties, as well as the prisons of the commanders and envoys, and the officials and wardens of the five armed forces, the judges, the prisons, the officials, the annals, and the wards, including the jailers, must be determined to punish, and they have done everything by them, and they are the direct implementers. The influence among the people is very bad......"

After Xu Wanghua finished speaking, Zheng Xunrui let out a long sigh.

"I understand what Mr. Xu meant, officials who have done a lot of evil cannot be let go, and officials who specifically handle many matters of unjust imprisonment must be severely punished, as for the middle layer, they must be let go gently."

"Yes, my subordinates think that stabilizing the team of officials is also a big deal, if the entire team of officials is messed up, it will be difficult to clean up later, even if it is handled by the imperial court, I am afraid that it will be such a practice."

"Okay, just do what you arranged, these dozen officials, the mansion will be raided."

After being silent for a while, Xu Wanghua spoke again.

"My lord, this is a matter involving the clan, and it is not easy to deal with it."

"I know, you're talking about Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, I didn't expect him to be involved in this matter, I really saw the money, as a prince, I should have taken the lead in complying with the regulations, but I did such a dirty thing, the evidence of Zhu Cunshu's involvement in this matter must be investigated, don't let go of the details, the time must be fast, once the governor yamen moves on a large scale, Zhu Cunshu will definitely be awakened, maybe he will think of some way."

Xu Wanghua nodded and went out to do something.

Zheng Xunrui looked at the materials on the table, his heart was not very comfortable, the possibility of a large-scale investigation was not very great, and he could not let the Shaanxi officialdom be completely chaotic, as for Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, he had already thought of a way to deal with it
