Chapter 248: Trying to Catch the Dead

PS: Thank you again Brother Silly Crab, I hope there are more brothers to support Xiaofeng!

Qianqing Palace, Xinuan Pavilion.

"I plan to thoroughly investigate the case of favoritism and fraud in the Criminal Department and hand it over to Jinyiwei for supervision, Guo Aiqing, what do you think?" As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Qizhen threw a big bomb to Guo Nu.

This was something Guo Nu never expected.

In the morning, I just talked about investigating Liu Ji'an's case, how did it rise to the case of favoritism and fraud in the Criminal Department at this time.

"Holy Lord, there is no problem in investigating the case of Weichen, but how to investigate this case, who can be investigated, who cannot be investigated, please make it clear to the Holy Lord." Guo Nu knew that he couldn't refuse, but he could take a detour, and the Criminal Department was one of the six.

Don't say how you want to check it, if you really find out something, it's easy to get into trouble.

"What do you think, sir?" Zhu Qizhen asked Wang Zhendao, who was standing at the bottom.

"A prison in the prison department of the criminal department can actually extort prisoners, and also frame good people at will, and beat them into tricks, is this what he can do alone, there must be many people involved in this criminal department, so that they can be deceived and concealed, master, you can't let it go." Wang Zhen bowed his head slightly.

"Guo Aiqing, did you hear it, what Mr. said makes sense?"

"Wang Weng said that the micro-minister also agrees, but even if you want to rectify the criminal department, you can't suddenly make a knife, you can slowly figure it out to avoid turmoil in the court." Guo said angrily.

"What Guo Aiqing said seems to make sense!" Zhu Qizhen closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then opened his mouth.

"Lord Guo is not like this to Jinyiwei, it is a drastic move. Thunderous, isn't the Criminal Department impossible? Wang Zhen asked.

"Jinyiwei is a soldier, the officials of the criminal department are all literati, the duty of a soldier is obedience, and civil officials are different, although they are weak, they are more unruly than martial artists in their bones." Guo said angrily, "This literati is playing tricks, but it's not easy to deal with. ”

"Isn't Lord Guo afraid of these sour Confucians?"

"Wang Weng should not use the method of provoking the officials, the officials are not afraid of them. It's just a matter of using different strategies against different people. Guo Nu said coldly.

"Then according to Guo Aiqing's meaning. Liu Ji'an's case was investigated and tried by Jin Yiwei. Zhu Qizhen decided, "Let's suspend the issue of the Criminal Department." ”

"Wechen obeys!"

"By the way, is Meng Aiqing outside?"

"Holy Lord, Lord Meng is waiting outside the door!" Jin Ying, the eunuch of the Si Li palm print, leaned over and replied.

"Let him in!" Zhu Qizhen commanded. "Guo Aiqing. Mr. Wang. Stand down. ”

"Wechen, old minister obey the order!" Guo Nu and Wang Zhen's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, the emperor actually wanted to summon Meng Yan alone, which was very unusual.

"Minister......

"Meng Aiqing has injuries on her body. You don't have to stick to so many etiquette, come on, give a seat! Zhu Qizhen stretched out his hand and said.

"Thank you, Saint Longen!"

"I know all about Meng Aiqing's prison in the Criminal Department, I'm really sorry for Aiqing, I didn't expect that there would be a dumb official like Liu Ji'an in the Criminal Department under my rule!" Zhu Qizhen walked down and comforted.

"The saint has a lot of opportunities, and he still remembers the minister in his heart, and the minister is really moved."

"Meng Aiqing, tell me about the prison of the Criminal Department, did you do it on purpose?" Zhu Qizhen asked.

"Yes!" Meng Yan took a deep breath and nodded in acknowledgement.

"Did you really mean it?" Zhu Qizhen was surprised, he thought that Meng Yan would not admit it, this kind of thing, he admitted that it would not do him any good.

"If someone asks, the minister will not admit that it was intentional, but if you ask, the minister will not dare to deceive if he is killed!" Meng Yan Road.

"Meng Aiqing told the truth, and I am very happy." Regarding Meng Yan's attitude, Zhu Qizhen was very happy, and even showed a long-lost smile on his face.

In the past day, Zhu Qizhen has not laughed since he learned about the Criminal Department, and now, he actually smiled, and Jin Ying, the eunuch who was standing on the side and waiting, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

"Can you tell me why?"

"The minister has no other ideas, just wants to know what they will do to the minister." Meng Yan replied,

"Meng Aiqing, you really didn't expect this Liu Ji'an to torture you, right?"

"This minister expected it, but what he didn't expect was that their courage was so big, and the minister regretted it at the time, but who let the minister be a hero, he could only pinch his nose and hold on!"

"Meng Aiqing, do you know, you support me like this, let me know how these people usually fool me, all of them say how honest they are, how they judge cases, how conclusive the evidence, hum, it's all nonsense!"

"Holy Lord, in fact, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, although there are some unscrupulous officials in the Criminal Department, there are still some officials who dare to take responsibility." Meng Yan said boldly, "Xiao Chen went to visit the prison of the Criminal Department this time, and I also heard that the conduct of some officials is not good, because Bai Suxin's case was demoted. ”

"Oh, yes, this I know, I originally planned to put the criminal department in order, but considering that some things can't be handled, I put them in custody for the time being?"

"By the way, Meng Aiqing, I don't understand something, why did you run to the prison of the Criminal Department?" Zhu Qizhen asked.

"Shengshang, it will make Shengshang laugh at Xiaochen, this time Xiaochen didn't intend to go to the prison of the Criminal Department, but ...... with a woman"

"Hehe, Meng Aiqing is so good, there are girls who like it, this is natural, what kind of woman is it?" Zhu Qizhen asked with a smile.

"Her name is Wen Xiaoyu, and she is the shopkeeper of Songhe Tower."

"But the Songhe Tower who paid tribute to the inner court and was drunk with immortals?" Zhu Qizhen said in surprise.

"Exactly!"

"I have heard of this woman, how did Meng Aiqing know her?" Zhu Qizhen asked curiously, Wen Xiaoyu and Sun Lian were involved in the relationship, the whole capital knew that although he, the emperor, was in the palace all day, this kind of news was not a secret, and occasionally he heard the eunuchs in the palace talk about it.

"Isn't Xiaochen going to set up a winery, he needs to recruit a group of experienced brewers. There is also a winemaker, isn't the immortal drunk of Songhe Tower a tribute from the inner court, Xiaochen came directly to the door, this came and went, Xiaochen became familiar with this Wen Xiaoyu, and moreover, Xiaochen also reached a strategic cooperation agreement with Wen Xiaoyu's father, Mr. Wen Dudrunk, the brewing master of Songhe Tower......"

"So that's the case, no wonder you're so close to this Wen Xiaoyu!" Zhu Qizhen nodded, the two are partners. The intimacy of the relationship can be explained.

"Holy. Do you have anything else to do? ”

"Well, I ask you, how much do you know about Bai Suxin's case?" Zhu Qizhen's thoughts were pulled back by Meng Yan's question.

"This minister doesn't know much. It's just hearsay. Meng Yan was stunned. He didn't expect the emperor to take the initiative to ask about the case.

"Tell me what you know." Zhu Qizhen ordered.

"Xiao Chen knows about this case, and it was not long ago that Xiao Yu Xiao Chen occasionally mentioned it......" Meng Yan roughly explained what he knew.

"So to speak. There are many suspicious points in this case, Bai Suxin may have been wronged? Zhu Qizhen asked.

"Xiao Chen didn't dare to make a judgment, after all, this case has been more than a year old. Xiao Chen had only seen Bai Suxin in the prison of the Criminal Department, and he really liked a good woman, it stands to reason that she should not do such a bad thing and bad nature. ”

"Meng Aiqing, knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, and bad people won't write themselves on their faces?" Zhu Qizhen said.

"What the saint said is, so Xiao Chen can only say that seeing Bai Suxin in prison is very worthy of sympathy, as for whether she is wronged or deserved, it is not something that Xiao Chen can say clearly." Meng Yan Road.

"What are you going to do if I ask you to retry this case?" Zhu Qizhen asked suddenly.

"Saint, this is unacceptable, the minister has never handled a case, nor has he tried a case, this is above the court, I don't know what to say, don't you let the minister make a joke in front of people?" Meng Yan excused himself.

The Art of War: Want to Capture the Past.

At the age of the emperor, it is the rebellious adolescence, and the more you don't let him do it, the more he wants to do it!

Originally, it might have been just a joke, but if you refuse like this, he will think seriously about it, is it okay to play like this?

"Lovely Qing, you have a smart brain, and you are loyal to me, dare to tell the truth, others, I don't believe it, if I hand over this case to those people, they will fool me, you are different, you will not fool me." Zhu Qizhen said.

"Little minister, thank you for your trust." Meng Yan raised his head and knelt down and said, "However, Xiaochen has really never done such a thing, you let Xiaochen treat the disease and save people, Xiaochen will never refuse, but this case, Xiaochen really doesn't know how to start!" ”

"Meng Aiqing, as a Jinyi guard, investigating and adjudicating cases is one of your own jobs, you can't be a small craftsman for the rest of your life, right?"

"Xiao Chen thinks it's good to be a craftsman treasurer, free, unconstrained, not much, and he still has time to study medical skills, which is good."

"It's not promising, if it weren't for the fact that you were too young and promoted too quickly, which caused a lot of criticism in the DPRK and China, I would have asked you to be a small treasurer, which would be overkill!" Zhu Qizhen said with a look of hatred for iron and steel.

"Holy Lord, the minister wants to live a peaceful life, this frightened day is really too difficult."

"Hey, speaking of which, this is the court can't stand you, I can't stand you, so young let you go undercover in the enemy country, almost lost your life, and some people suspect that you are a Tatar sent back a spy, they should really let them hear what you said just now, how can they open their eyes and say nonsense?" Zhu Qizhen seems to be a little excited!

"Saint, these suspicions can't be miscalculated, after all, I have to return because I have exposed my identity, some words, some things, Xiaochen himself can't say clearly, and it is even more difficult for others to understand, but if you can return to your homeland and have a stable life, Xiaochen is content, even if you don't do this official, it's nothing." Meng Yan was moved.

Hey, when did I become so good at acting, I was moved by what I said.

"No, there are too few loyal people like Meng Aiqing in the court, how can I let you be wronged." Zhu Qizhen said, "However, if I still wronged you for a while, when you make some merits and I will give you a promotion, others will have nothing to say." ”

"Minister, thank the Holy Heaven!" Meng Yan knelt on the ground, his eyes were red, and he choked.

"Aiqing, you are flat, get up and speak!"

"Thank you!"

"Bai Suxin's case, I plan to retry it, but I didn't say that the retrial can be retried, I have to find a reason, Aiqing has a good plan?" Zhu Qizhen asked.

"Holy Lord, Bai Suxin's case, you can consider it carefully, if Bai Suxin is really wronged, then you advocate a retrial and avenge the people, then it will definitely be praised by the people, but once Bai Suxin deserves it, it can have an impact on your reputation, and the ministers estimate that the princes and ministers inside and outside the court will not agree lightly." Meng Yan cautiously persuaded.

"What do you mean?"

"The retrial should not be mentioned by the saint, but by the bitter master, so that you can also order a retrial!" Meng Yan built yì road.

"Good way, Meng Aiqing, I really didn't misunderstand you, why didn't I think of it?" Zhu Qizhen exclaimed, "But who is this bitter master?" ”

"According to Xiaochen's understanding, it is impossible for the mother and son of the Bai family to take the initiative to avenge Bai Suxin, then only Bai Suxin's husband's family."

"Husband's family, isn't the deceased Bai Suxin's fiancé?"

"Yes, but if even the husband of the fiancé killed by Bai Suxin thinks that Bai Suxin is wronged, then is it more logical for this case to be retried?"

"But what if this Bai Suxin is really the culprit?" Zhu Qizhen said.

"This is the hardest part, and the minister can't think of a better way." Meng Yan shook his head and sighed. (To be continued......)
