Chapter 663: Unraveling the Mystery of Tang Chun's Death (2)
ps: It's time to ask for a monthly pass again, I don't know if the monthly pass in the hands of the students is still there, vote evenly!
"Ma County Order, you go, this official doesn't like to talk to a coward." Meng Yan stood up and pointed out the door.
Coward!
Ma Weiran has never been pointed at and scolded as a "coward", which is an insult to his personality!
"What are you doing standing here, and you don't care about food here?"
"Lord Qincha, you can beat down the official or scold the lower official, but you can't insult the lower official!" Ma Weiran held her breath and said angrily.
"Did I insult you?" Meng Yan glanced at him and asked rhetorically.
"Please take back what you just said, Ma Weiran is not a coward!" Ma Weiran said solemnly.
"If you are not a coward, why are you timid when you encounter such a little setback in front of you, and you don't want to do it, the court just suspended your position, and didn't give you a characterization, you don't have any patience at all?" Meng Yan snorted coldly.
"Xiaguan ......" Ma Weiran was stunned, a little unsure of how to phrase it.
"It sounds good, are you tired of the rights and wrongs in the officialdom, but in fact, the essence is not to find a place where no one is there to hide and be quiet?"
"You have a heart for the world, a good official who works hard for the people, and you have persisted for so long, when you set up a stall to sell cooking cakes, did you give up your ideals, and now, just * encounter a little setback, you want to give up, what is not a coward?" Meng Yan reprimanded him for splitting his head and covering his face.
A trace of shame flashed on Ma Weiran's face.
"The lower officials don't want to leave just like that, but the lower officials don't want to slip around and pat the horses, and they don't bribe the officials, and they want to get mixed up in this officialdom, and they have to be wary of colleagues and subordinates at all times. Doing things is even more constrained, and there is no ability to do it. Ma Weiran said.
"That's because you didn't meet someone who appreciated you!"
In officialdom, what can be mixed well is one's own ability, of course, this ability is not the ability to gang up and engage in those crooked ways. The second is that there is Bole, no one to support, and it is very difficult to go higher.
This is an undeniable fact, officialdom, it cannot be changed, this is thousands of years of rule of man, no matter how perfect the system design is. In the end, it's still people who are executing.
If a good horse does not meet Bole, it will eventually disappear among the mediocre horses, and eventually die of old age and unknown like other horses.
Ma Weiran is not a fool, as soon as she heard this, she understood that the opportunity she couldn't wait for had finally come!
Although Meng Yan is a Jinyi guard, he does not belong to the same system, or even a camp. However, he has become disillusioned with the camp he belongs to. No matter how well he does and how hard he works, he will never be able to enter the eyes of those people, and he will even be discriminated against and isolated.
What is he doing desperately trying to fit into that camp?
"Ma Weiran knocks to see the lord!"
"Don't call it that, just call the adult, the official just cherishes talents. Your official style and reputation are very good, and this official doesn't want a good official to be buried like this, so he wants to promote you. Meng Yan stepped forward and helped Ma Weiran up.
"Thank you, sir!"
"Just now, the official said that he wanted to recommend you to be the governor of Yizhou, but in fact, it was just a sentence, although the official was a Qincha. But the selection of the local parent official is a matter of the ministry, and this official is subordinate to Jinyiwei, and it is recommended that you be appointed as a magistrate, which is suspected of trespassing, so this is not the original intention of this official. Meng Yan explained.
"Xia Guan understands the difficulties of adults!"
"There is a position that suits you, but this is a temporary one, Counselor Xingyuan, are you willing?" Meng Yan asked.
"Counselor Xingyuan, what do you do?"
"Help the official deal with some trivial official affairs, sometimes the official is lacking in skills, you can also handle the affairs on behalf of the official." Meng Yan Road.
"Okay, the subordinate obeys!" Ma Weiran thought for a moment and said, "It's just the imperial court?" ”
"It's okay, this official will explain it for you, you go back and clean up, and report as much as you can."
"Yes!"
"My lord, the honor guard has arrived!" Guo Xiaochao came in from outside.
"Settle down, rest first, and talk about the rest tomorrow!" Meng Yan commanded.
"Understood!"
"Son, Jiang Feng asks to see!"
"Come in!"
"Childe!"
"Is there something wrong?" Meng Yan raised his head and asked when he saw Jiang Feng's face.
"Son, Jiang Feng made a mistake!" Jiang Feng knelt down with a puff and said.
"What did you do wrong?"
"Childe, look!" Jiang Feng took out some paper from his arms and held it high above his head, Meng Yan felt a little bad as soon as he saw the words on it.
It's all paper!
He is just a Qincha in transit, and he can't manage local cases at all, and he is still working on a special Qincha, and these cases are not under his control at all, if he does, I am afraid that his folds will be overwhelming, and it just gives Wang Zhen and others the opportunity to impeach him.
"When we separated, didn't I explain to you, don't be nosy, why didn't you listen?" Meng Yan was angry, yes, there are grievances in eight or nine out of ten cases in these cases, but is that what he should be in charge of?
"My lord, I don't want to accept it, this is all shoehorned in by those who blocked the way and complained, I can't take it if I don't want to, I thought to myself, if you really harden your heart and refuse, it will also affect your reputation, so ......" Jiang Feng lowered his head aggrievedly.
Meng Yan slapped his forehead, there are also things he didn't think about in this matter, Jiang Feng is not a person who doesn't know the importance of it, if he ignores these papers, I'm afraid his reputation will really be damaged, and the common people don't understand the mess in the officialdom.
They only think that you can decide for him, and as for your difficulties, they don't understand and can't understand them.
In their eyes, Lord Qincha is the biggest, they don't care what you do, how big things can you manage?
"From today onwards, put away the guard of honor and change all into civilian clothes." Meng Yan didn't want to swagger, if it weren't for the bullshit rules of the imperial court, he wouldn't want to make this formation, anyway, he would have to enter Shanxi, so just put away these bluffing things, and save trouble.
"Yes, Childe!" Jiang Feng agreed, "What about these papers?" ”
"What about the accuser?"
"They followed us to Yi County." Jiang Feng said.
"Let's settle down together. I'll wait until I've read the complaint. Meng Yan groaned slightly and commanded.
"My lord, do you really want to take these complaints?" Guo Xiaochao is in a hurry, this is a troublesome matter, will it get angry if you don't get it?
"What can I do then, I really don't care?" Meng Yan also had a headache. If it is left alone, the people will have nowhere to complain, and there will be fewer tragedies?
"You're compassionate, but now it's the more important one, don't you know?" Guo Xiaochao said.
"I know in my heart that if I don't handle these cases myself, I can also hand them over to the imperial court to handle them, so I can rest assured." Meng Yan Road.
"Your Excellency knows the best!" Guo Xiaochao breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Meng Yan's temper would come up. If you really want to handle these cases, it will be troublesome.
As night fell, Meng Yan read the complaints in general, some of them were disputes of interest, for example, the brothers fought a lawsuit over the division of land, and the government ruled and refused to accept it, and some were two Zhuangzi fighting for water. Almost every year, the government has no way to mediate. In fact, it is the problem of resource supply, and there is also a homicide case, where people are arrested and sentenced, everyone is killed, and the family insists on crying out for injustice. said that the real culprit was someone else, but the government had already refused to accept the case......
Many of these cases have something to do with Zhao Lie, the governor of Yizhou who was arrested by Meng Yan.
The complaint mentions that Zhao Lie accepted bribes and favored the defendant, and in the homicide case, the real murderer gave Zhao Lie 1,000 taels of silver at one time.
The case is a weathered case. In the end, it turned into a homicide case, and the specific facts of the case were not too detailed in the complaint.
Ma Weiran's wife and children are all in his hometown, except for an old servant who follows him, there are no outsiders, and he has no money to save up, so he sent the old servant home with some silver, and he came to the pavilion alone to find Meng Yan to report.
"Brother Wei Ran came just in time, there is a case here, you should have heard of it." Meng Yan singled out this weathered murder case and asked.
"Don't dare, let the official take a look."
"My lord, how did this paper get into your hands?" After reading it, Ma Weiran was taken aback.
"That's ......"
"Is this complainant a blind old woman?"
"I'll call someone here, you will know as soon as you ask, the specific situation is not very clear to the official." Meng Yan Road.
"No, this case was three years ago, it happened in Yizhou City, there is a family surnamed Liu, the ancestral tailor, the craftsmanship is very good, the son inherits the father's business, the Liu family has set a family business since childhood, the woman is very beautiful, but the reputation is not good, however, it is all hearsay, people are also clouds, to the age of sixteen, the Liu family will come to the door to recruit, a year later, the Pan family woman will enter the door, the Pan family woman is also good, since childhood, brocade clothes and jade food, some Miss Jiao's temper, this Liu family is an honest man, only make clothes, do not understand taste, And will not please his wife, the relationship between husband and wife is not good, this Liu Pan has a cousin, the surname is Nangong, a single name Nangong Qing, and Liu Pan grew up together, four or five years older, it is very good, Nangong Qing's father was in the early years, and let go of the county, and later resigned, he has some prestige in Yizhou City, and the family has thousands of acres of fertile land, hundreds of houses, and it is a rich family......"
Ma Weiran knows a lot about this case, and it is quite a sensational case.
To put it simply, it is a pair of cousins who are cheating at home and are discovered by the husband who returns, and the husband is angry and kills his wife, while the cousin is unscathed.
In this case, the husband broke his wife's adultery, and there was a motive for murder, and the husband was the only one at the scene of Liu Pan's death.
As for Nangong Qing, who committed adultery with Liu Pan's family, he was not at the scene.
This case is actually not complicated, although Nangong Qing was not present at the scene, it was found that Liu Pan was naked when he died, and his clothes were still stained with sperm spots, and her husband was found fainting at the scene, and his clothes were intact.
Under normal logic, the chance of a murderer fainting at the scene of the murder is very small, not to mention that the husband was also injured and bleeding from a heavy blow to the head.
The prima facie evidence has already shown that there must have been a third party present at that time, and this third party was Liu Pan's adulterer.
However, the case tried his best to ignore the adulterer's survival, and the husband was convicted of murder, tortured, tortured, and then sentenced to death.
There are too many suspicious points in the case, which is a bit similar to Bai Suxin's case, but the culprit in this case has been convicted and beheaded, and Bai Suxin is at least alive.
Moreover, the case happened three years ago, and all the prima facie evidence is gone, and it is too difficult to overturn the case. (To be continued......) R1292
