Chapter 18: Menda's Death
Since the Yongle Dynasty "Ji Gang" case, Jinyiwei is not as powerful as before, before the establishment of the East Factory, Jinyiwei is still outstanding, even if it is suppressed, restricted, it can be counterbalanced by almost no power.
Later, Emperor Yongle established the East Factory, visited and conspired against the evil and the evil, etc., and Jinyiwei was in power, and Jinyiwei suffered an unprecedented blow.
It can be said that the biggest enemy of Jinyiwei is not the civil official group in the court, nor the self-appointed gossip officials, but this new institution built by a group of eunuchs!
The emperor set up the East Factory, in addition to the distrust of the courtiers, there are also reasons to check and balance the Jinyi Guard, but at the same time, in order to fear that the eunuch institution of the East Factory will gain power, the East Factory is in charge of the eunuchs, but the action personnel are indeed transferred by the Jinyi Guard.
Moreover, as long as Dongchang has the right to investigate, if he arrests people, he must first be approved by the Criminal Section, one of the six secretaries of the emperor's department, which is equivalent to an arrest warrant signed by the procuratorate.
Basically, the emperor arrested whoever he wanted, directly bypassing the national justice system.
The power is outrageous!
"Quack ......"
Early in the morning, two black crows landed on the eaves of the main hall of the South Ya, calling very happily, the crows are ominous things, which naturally casts a shadow on the people who hear it.
"Where did the old eagle come from, take the bamboo pole and drive it away, quickly!" The hundred households on duty had a dark face and ordered the two subordinates.
"Yes, sir!"
"100 Cattle Households, 100 Cattle ......"
"Xiao Wu, why are you so flustered, have you forgotten what your identity is?" Niu Baihu's copper bell-sized eyes glared and shouted angrily.
"Niu, Lord Niu, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good......" The little school named Xiao Wu's face was panicked, like a mourning examiner.
"Calm down, what's going on?"
"Lord Niu, the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division sent someone to report that Menda's deputy cavalry Qianhu is dead!"
"What, the Gate-sama is dead?" When Niu Baihu heard this, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and his appearance was no better than Xiao Wu.
"What's the matter, Lord Gate was fine yesterday, why did he die today?" Niu Baihu has seen the world in the end, and after a while, he eased up and hurriedly asked.
"Okay, it seems that I died in a place called Xiao Ya Shuyu."
"Xiao Ya Study!" Niu Baihu slapped his head, these little soldiers didn't know, he still knew a little.
The owner of this Xiaoya Book Apartment is Menda's concubine outside, obviously, after Menta was fined yesterday, he didn't go home, and went directly to Xiao Ya Book Apartment!
"Xiao Wu, follow me!" The matter is very important, the death of a deputy Qianhu, whether he kills or dies accidentally, this is a major matter, and it must be reported to the superior commander immediately.
After a while, Niu Baihu, Xiao Wu and Du Chong, the chief official of the Southern Ya, appeared in front of Guo Nu together.
"Menda is dead?" Hearing this, Guo Nu only frowned slightly, he was just called up, put on a robe and came out.
"That's what the person who reported the news from the Dongcheng Terracotta Division!" Regarding Guo Nu's attitude, Du Zhong is more prepared, he knows what Menda's role is in Nanya.
"What about the cause of death?"
"It's not clear, the people from the Dongcheng Terracotta Division have already gone to the scene!" Du Chongdao, although nominally he is the first leader of Nanya, but in fact, Guo Nu is the first person in Nanya, because he is the commander of Jinyiwei and the governor of Nanzhen.
So big things and small things, Guo Nu must nod his head, although Du Chong has some complaints, but most of the pressure has made Guo Nu over, and he is very easy to pacify.
"Du Chong, you go in person and bring me all the relevant people back, we Jinyiwei will take over this case!" Guo Nu ordered.
"My lord, haven't such cases always been handled by Beiya?" Du Zhong asked with a little speculation, this kind of big murder case, is it a big basket, how long has Nanya not handled a big case?
"Menda is our Nanya's people, and this case is handled by Nanya, which is deserved!" Guo Nu raised his head, revealing a hint of displeasure, "Could it be that our Nanya doesn't even have this ability?" ”
"Humble words!"
"Then don't go quickly, if you let Beiya take the lead, I will only ask you!" Guo angrily scolded.
"Yes, let's go!" Du Zhong felt that Guo Nu attached unprecedented importance to the case, as a subordinate, he had to be sensitive, but the immortals fought and harmed mortals, but in the midst of it, he couldn't shirk it, so he decided to follow orders.
"Niu Baihu, gather a banner of brothers, and we will go over now!" After coming out, Du Chong immediately ordered Niu Baihu Dao.
"Yes, sir!" Niu Baihu said, "Lord Du, this is yesterday when Guo Da knocked on the door and ...... at night."
"Be cautious, Niu Baihu!" Du Zhong said coldly.
"Yes, I know!"
Mingshifang, Zhenjiang Hutong, the weather is a little cold, and it is no wonder that after the first heavy snowfall, it always has to be cold.
Xiao Ya Shuyu was sealed early in the morning by the soldiers and catchers of the Terracotta Division.
Soon rumors spread that last night Xiao Yashu had a life case and died a court official.
This is a big case, and the residents of the entire alley will be implicated!
Murder scene.
In the chic room, Menda lay naked on a messy pink carved bed, with a pile of loose clothes at the end of the bed, colorful and colorful, with official robes, belts, and women's belly pockets.
At a glance, it is clear that before the death of the deceased, there must be a timely rejoicing.
Although some time has passed, there is still a disgusting smell in the house.
"Go in with the official, everyone else is guarding outside, no one is allowed to come in without the official's order!" Luo Gang, deputy commander of the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division, ordered.
As for the protection of the scene, Luo Gang, as the deputy commander, still knows, it is difficult to say which yamen this case will end up in, and the biggest possibility is that Jinyiwei will handle it himself.
"My lord, can you start?"
"Dong Yanzuo, you can start!" Luo Gang covered his nose and nodded.
"Record, the deceased is about forty years old, five feet eight inches tall......" Dong Chengzuo began to examine the deceased, and conducted a preliminary examination of the traces of the scene, he said as the apprentice behind him quickly recorded.
This is the first-hand information of the investigation of the deceased and the autopsy, which is very important and the most careful investigation.
"There are sperm spots on the inner thighs of the deceased, clothes and bed blankets, it can be judged that the deceased had sex with a woman before his death, and the time was about an hour ......ago" Dong Yanzuo played with Menda's lower body, then reached out and pinched it, checked the palm, and nodded, "My lord, the deceased's palm is red circled, covered with red tendons, and the cause of death is preliminarily judged to be that he died of a stroke!" ”
"Wind right away!" Luo Gang was startled, forgot to cover his nose, and a fishy smell rushed straight to his nostrils, "Dong Chengzuo, this can't be mistaken." ”
"Lord Luo, I have been doing this for almost thirty years, and from the symptoms at the scene and the corpse, I can say with certainty that the deceased died of a stroke!" Dong Yanzuo said that Luo Gang doubted his professional ability very much!
"Yes, the wind is right away!" Luo Gang suddenly saw the bruises on the back of Menda's buttocks, pointed and asked, "Dong Yanzuo, what is the scar on the back of the deceased's thighs?" ”
"Oh, it's beaten!" Dong Tongzuo brushed aside the corpse, checked it and said, "It's not more than twelve hours." ”
"Could this scar have anything to do with the death of the deceased?"
"No, although these scars look a little miserable, they are actually skin injuries, and they don't hurt the muscles and bones, and they can't kill people!" Dong Tongzuo explained.
"Jinyiwei handles the case, and the idle people go away!"
"Who's in charge here?" A brocade guard with more than a dozen brocade guards wearing mandarin duck jackets directly broke in, pushing the soldiers and horses to stagger, with an arrogant attitude.
"Who's making a noise here?" A trace of anger flashed in Luo Gang's eyes, Jinyi Wei relied on himself to be the Son of Heaven's pro-army, and he had always been high-flying, and the angry yamen in the capital abounded, and the little soldiers and horses were often bullied.
Especially the people in the northern ya, there is no one in their eyes, and the southern yaya is better, at least they rarely bully others.
Therefore, for the first time, Luo Gang sent someone to inform Nan Ya, and this case is indeed more related to Nan Ya, and others can't get out of trouble if he does this!
"Yo, isn't this Deputy Commander Luo of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division?"
"Qi Baihu, what do you want to do with you to bring people to interfere with my Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division's case?" Luo Gang is not afraid of the other party, not to mention, Nanya's people should arrive soon.
"I'm sorry, this case of yours belongs to our Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi!" That Qi Baihu said proudly.
"It's up to you, this official hasn't received the transfer order from above!" Luo Gang said, "What's more, I have already notified Nanzhen Fusi of this case, presumably they are also coming soon!" ”
"Luo Gang, what do you mean?" Qi Baihu's face changed greatly, he received the news, and he didn't have time to report it, so he brought someone over, the purpose was to grab this case, even if it was not his turn in the end, this head work must be his.
"The deceased is the deputy Qianhu Menda of the Fusi of Jinyi Weinan Town, and he is a person from Nanya, what do you mean?" Luo Gang sneered.
The contradiction between Jinyi Wei's Nanya and Beiya's is not a day or two, it's just a secret competition, Luo Gang often deals with them, how can he not know?
"Jinyi Weinan Zhen Fu envoy Lord Du has arrived!"
"Humble duty, see Lord Du!" A group of brocade guards hurriedly saluted.
"Xiaguan Du Chong, I've seen Lord Du!" Luo Gang does not belong to the Jinyi Wei system, but Du Chong's official position is bigger than him, so he also has to be courteous.
"Excuse me!" Du Chong glanced at Qi Baihu and the others, his face changed slightly, and the people from Beiya really came in.
"Qi Baihu, what are you doing here?"
"Lord Qiyu Du, I heard that there was a murder here, so I brought someone over to take a look, but I didn't expect the people of the Terracotta Division to arrive first!" Qi Baihu bowed down and said, the official level crushed people to death, he was only a hundred households, and Du Chong was a pacification envoy.
"This official received a report from Deputy Commander Luo, saying that Deputy Qianhu Menda died in an accident, so he brought someone to take a look, Qi Baihu, if you are fine, you can leave first." Du Chong said coldly, Menda is a person from Nanya, no matter how he died, he has to be investigated and dealt with by Nanya, and the people from Beiya are too ignorant of the rules.
"Yes, Lord Du, the inferior rank will retire first!" Qi Baihu secretly annoyed, there was no way, it would be nice if he had come one step earlier, but he didn't expect Nan Ya to directly pacify Du Chong and go out in person, and now he can only grit his teeth and retreat first.
"Humph!" Du Chong snorted coldly, watched Qi Baihu lead people away, and then asked, "Lord Luo, what's going on?" ”
"Master Du, you will understand when you come in!" Luo Gang moved away and made a way.
