Chapter 263: A new official takes office

In the tenth year of orthodoxy, on the 24th day of the lunar month, on this day, a will from the inner court shook the government and the opposition.

The adultery murder case of Bai Suxin, which caused a sensation in the capital, lasted for a year, and the emperor personally ordered a retrial!

It is not a big deal to reopen the case, after all, as long as the case is not closed, the case will still need to be heard.

First, the reason for the retrial of the case was that the father of the victim's family gave the emperor a letter of revenge for Bai Suxin, who committed adultery and murder.

This is what is surprising, it stands to reason that the victim's family hates the murder suspect Bai Suxin to the core, how can they write to him to avenge his grievances?

This is not in line with common sense, nor is it in line with human ethics.

For a time, public opinion among officials in the DPRK and China was surging, and they wrote to the emperor one after another, demanding that the order be withdrawn.

Second, this case was not handed over to Dongchang, which handled the case at the beginning, nor to the Criminal Department or Dali Temple, but to an unknown Beijing inspector Yamen who had just been established for re-investigation.

Everyone still doesn't know what this yamen is for, the door opens to that side, and who the official is, as if they are all in the fog.

Things soon fermented in the capital at the end of the year.

First of all, it started from the Li Mansion in Bao Dafang, and as soon as the news came out, the Li Mansion, which was originally full of birds at the door, suddenly became full of guests.

Li Xiong's colleagues, but all those who have something to do with him have come, first, to inquire about the truth of the matter, and second, I am afraid that most of the people who persuade him to change his mind.

How can a murderer be avenged?

Li Xiong was not on duty for many days, and he also dismissed the servants in the family. There are many people who suspect that he may have "madness".

Many rumors of the imperial history even wrote the fact that Li Xiong had "madness" into their own chapters.

The emperor was deceived, how could he listen to the nonsense of a mad man and make a wrong decision?

Even some radical officials directly wrote to the emperor and demanded that the "adulteress" Bai Su be beheaded quickly, which has been heard correctly.

Even after the Empress Dowager Sun heard about this, she called the emperor over for questioning, although she did not ask the emperor to immediately retract the order, but for the handling of this matter, she expressed her inner dissatisfaction.

The pressure on the emperor was great, but it also touched the rebellious mentality of the young man. None of you let me do anything. I'm going to do it.

It's not that no one supports the emperor, at least there are some ministers in the court who are on the emperor's side, no matter what, Bai Suxin's case is indeed untrue. Need to find out. If you don't find out. Announcing it to the public, can't convince the government and the opposition?

And, if it's really ironclad. Why did the Criminal Department dismiss Dongchang's case?

Drag is not a way, only if you find it out, then you can feel at ease!

The will was directly sent to Jinyi Wei Nanya, Guo Nu took Meng Yan to kneel down and receive the holy decree, and the investigation and retrial of Bai Suxin's case was officially launched.

"Skywalk!"

"In!"

"This official orders that people be taken to the Criminal Department immediately, and the only suspect in this case, Bai Suxin, will be brought back to the inspection and inspection yamen for custody, and all the files will be brought back together!" Meng Yan took the holy decree, the new official took office, and issued the first order.

"No!" Lin Tianxing changed into an eight-rank inspection uniform, and galloped away with a group of subordinates.

"Li Duo!"

"Xiaguan Li Duo see your lordship, please give me orders if you have something!" Li Duo stood in the lobby of the new yamen in a six-grade official robe, bending down and hugging his fists.

"This official ordered you to go to Dongchang and bring me back the trial file, original files, and confessions related to Bai Suxin's case!"

"The subordinate obeys!" Li Duo agreed, and was about to turn around.

"Slow!"

"Do you have any orders?" Li Duo looked back in surprise.

"Cao Duo!"

"Cao Duo!"

"Where is Cao Duo?" Meng Yan shouted loudly.

"Master Meng, what do you call me?" Cao Duo, who was dressed in a patrol uniform, walked in lazily from outside.

"Presumptuous, why don't you salute when you see this official?" Meng Yan asked.

"The official with the size of the sesame mung bean still wants me to salute, hum!" Cao Duo glanced at Meng Yan with disdain.

"Someone!"

Meng Yan was really angry, this Cao Qin really didn't have a good heart, and brought this Cao Duo to himself, this is to spy on himself!

If you keep to yourself, we can't do anything about you for a while, but you're actually boring yourself, then don't blame me for being unkind.

Even if you are the nephew of Cao Jixiang's old gelding, this official will still beat you in the ass.

"In!" Meng Yan borrowed soldiers from Guo Nu, and the officials in this hall were all served by Jinyi Guard.

"Cao Duo saw that the official did not salute, despised the court, despised the official, come, give the official twenty boards!" Meng Yan slapped the shocked wood and shouted.

"Meng Yan, you dare to hit me!" When Cao Duo heard this, he was immediately angry.

"Call the official by name, you should fight, left and right, take it!"

"Whoa!"

The brocade guards on both sides couldn't hold it anymore, rushed up, and pressed Cao Duo down, Cao Duo felt scared at this time, this is not Dongchang, there is Cao Jixiang's nephew, and Cao Qin's godbrother, even if he commits a crime, no one dares to do anything to him!

But here, there are brocade guards all around!

He regretted a little that he didn't listen to Cao Qin's words, and when he came here, he had to keep a low profile, even if he was a man with his tail between his legs, the purpose was to pass back Meng Yan's every move, and never have a head-on conflict with him.

But where could he listen to these words, and as a result, he was too arrogant.

"Meng Yan, I'm Cao Changgong's nephew, if you dare to beat me, be careful that your black yarn is not safe!" Cao Duo was in a hurry, he really wanted the twenty boards to be beaten, and he could only lie on the bed this Spring Festival.

"Cao Duo, don't say that you are Cao Jixiang's nephew, even if you are a prince and grandson, when you go to the official's inspection envoy yamen, you must abide by the rules here, here, the official represents the imperial court, do you understand?" Meng Yan snorted coldly.

"Meng Yan, you yellow-mouthed child, my uncle won't let you go!"

"Drag it out and beat this officer!"

"Whoa!"

"Your Excellency. Cao Jixiang is a person who will repay him, and if you do this, I'm afraid there will be trouble. Li Duo reminded.

"It's okay, I'm worried that I can't find someone to stand up, this Cao Duo jumped out by himself, but it saves me a lot of thought." Meng Yan smiled, Cao Duo was a nail inserted by Cao Jixiang into the patrol envoy's yamen.

Originally, he couldn't find an excuse to drive him away, but now that he took the initiative to commit it to himself, he would be too sorry for himself if he didn't clean him up.

What's more, the inspection made the yamen piece together. People's hearts are different. beat Cao Duo, but also to show others, despise Shangguan, what will happen if Yang Fengyin disobeys.

"Bang Bang ......"

"Meng Yan. You son of a bitch. I won't let your ...... go"

"Shut my mouth!"

"Woo ......"

"Originally, I wanted this Cao Duo to accompany you to the East Factory. Now, you can only go alone, and you have to get all the files and materials about Bai Suxin back. In particular, witness testimony and exhibits. ”

"Xia Guan understands." Li Duo nodded solemnly.

Meng Yan also sent four Jinyi guards to follow, one was to help with the file, and the other was to protect it.

Li Duo has offended many people in Dongchang in the imperial history, and he can't make people surprised.

"Cao Duo, if you are An'an, this official will not want to take you under the knife, I'm sorry, go back and tell your uncle, don't blame me!" Meng Yan walked up to Cao Duo, who had already finished playing the board, and said.

"Meng Yan, I'm going to kill you!"

"Okay, I can still talk, I should be fine." Meng Yan smiled slightly, straightened up and said, "Carry it down to treat the injury first, and then send it back to the Cao Mansion." ”

"Whoa!"

"Butcher Meng, I'm not done with ......"

"Butcher Meng, Mr. Cai, when did this official have such a nickname?" Meng Yan looked back in surprise and asked.

"Gongzi Ye doesn't know, you broke into the Beiya, defeated Ying Hu, one of the four major offerings of Jinyiwei, and then killed dozens of Tatar killers in two battles, how many people's black gauze hats were lost because of you, and you now have the title of officialdom butcher."

"yes, how did I not know?"

"How dare they say this in front of you, but this is also a recent rumor, saying that you have finished the scourge of Jinyiwei and started to plague other imperial court yamen, and this criminal department has just suffered a lot?" Cai Jin smiled.

"Those people in the Criminal Department are to blame, did Liu Ji'an confess anything?" Meng Yan said resentfully.

"This guy wants to climb the high branches of the East Factory, but he hasn't climbed it yet, so he got it in, this guy has just been transferred to the prison hall, his body is quite clean, he can't kill his head, and he has nothing to say if he has an army of three thousand miles!"

"Didn't give some useful clues?" Meng Yan asked.

"Not yet."

"Are people locked up in prison?"

"Yes."

"Then find a time, let's go see Lord Liu, we have a good acquaintance, he is in prison now, I won't go to visit, isn't it too rude?"

Cai Jin lowered his head and smiled, this prince always likes to say such things, obviously he wants to set up some news, but he says that it is a friendship.

"In the evening, you go with me, let the kitchen prepare a few side dishes, a pot of wine, and I'll talk to Lord Liu!" Meng Yan Road.

"Good!"

"My lord, what are you asking us to do?" Wang Jing and other eight people who Meng Yan dug up from Dali Temple came to find Meng Yan together.

"Don't worry, everyone, the patrol envoy yamen has just been established, and the establishment of the institution is still being improved, in short, the official promised you that he will let you do the same as before, even if you are not promoted, this allowance will be higher than the original, in addition, the official has also prepared a New Year's gift for everyone, and I will go with Mr. Cai to get it in a while!" Meng Yan explained.

"Thank you, Lord Meng!"

As soon as I heard the New Year's gift, these people were happy and smiling, Dali Temple is Qingshui Yamen, they are equivalent to the civil servants of later generations, there is not much oil and water.

"Wang Jing and Ou Feng stay, and the others will go to clean up first." Meng Yan waved his hand and commanded.

"Whoa!"

"Wang Jing, you have a son named Wang Heng, right?"

"Yes!"

"Let him come to inspect and make the yamen do things, I lack a master book here, I think he is more suitable." Meng Yan Road.

Wang Jing was stunned, his son tried and failed, and he was worried about the way out in the future, but he didn't expect a piece of pie to fall from the sky.

"My lord, I don't understand, what do you think about the child?" Wang Jing has also been rolling in officialdom for half his life, how can he not know that there is no free lunch in the world.

"This official takes a fancy to you as a fair person, so he is willing to give him a chance." Meng Yan was straightforward.

"Thank you, King!"

"Not to mention the rest, the first case of the inspector Yamen is the adultery and murder case of Bai Suxin, this case caused a sensation in the capital, you should have heard it in Dali Temple, what do you think of this old prison?"

"My lord, according to the humble position, there must be grievances in this case, if Bai Suxin really committed adultery and murder, why didn't she tell the adulterer alive or dead, and she is really a watery Yanghua woman, why don't you want your own life to protect the adulterer?"

"Makes sense, keep talking?"

"Dongchang handling the case, first of all, is to use torture, and the cruelty of the punishment is rare in the world, Bai Suxin can actually persevere, how tenacious is this woman's heart?"

"Then you say, if the case is re-investigated, how should it begin?" Meng Yan asked.

"Adulterer, as long as the adulterer is found, or it is confirmed that the adulterer does not exist at all, the case will be clear." Wang Jingdao.

"Well, it makes sense, the file of Bai Suxin's case will be transferred from the Criminal Department and Dongchang soon, and then it will be troublesome!"

"What do you say, this is what you should do!"

"Ou Feng, this official transferred you to serve as a detaineer, in the left wing of the backyard, to be transformed into the detention room of our patrol envoy Yamen, for the short-term detention and interrogation of suspects, you are the deputy prisoner in Dali Temple, you are more experienced in this area, there will be craftsmen stationed later, you are responsible for supervising them to complete the transformation of the detainee!" Meng Yan instructed that district Feng again.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best to complete the things that my lord has explained!" Ou Feng agreed. (To be continued......)
