Chapter 62 The ghosts and gods are unpredictable
Jiang Huaixin personally sent Xie Yaoguang to the gate of the mansion, the two exchanged a few words of greeting, and saw Xie Yaoguang take Suzaku's hand into the carriage, and then he looked elsewhere.
A bell rang, and the carriage slowly disappeared from view into the night.
The excitement of Gusu City always spreads very quickly, such as someone found a man with all four limbs broken but still alive at the gate of Zhang Qin's mansion.
A bold person went up to check only to find that the person was Tang and others, and the house saw that there were more and more people watching the excitement, so they hurriedly dispersed the crowd of onlookers and carried Tang and others into the house.
There were rumors in this noisy city, saying that the Tang and the others were taken away by the unjust souls in the abandoned garden before they suffered the same thing.
And when the rumors in the city were the most joyful, Ye Linchen brought the order to the criminal department to summon him.
In an instant, Shen Lianglin of Dali Temple, Qian Yixi, a member of the Imperial History, and Gao Yuyan, a member of the Criminal Department, were called to jointly try the case.
Originally, according to the usual practice, it should have been tried by the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the Imperial History Zhongcheng and the Dali Temple. But Ye Linchen did the opposite, even if there was no big problem, it couldn't help but feel strange.
However, Emperor Li's will is to let Ye Linchen choose his own people, and the people below can only endure it if they have any opinions.
I have to say that Ye Linchen's vision of selecting people is indeed excellent, and in just half a day, a few people classified and sorted out the three cases and handed them all over to Ye Linchen.
"Your Highness, Wechen has already interrogated the steward of the abandoned garden. He provided a book of accounts. Gao Yuyan handed the account book in his hand to Ye Linchen and then said in a deep voice: "But Wei Chen thinks it's very strange, the account book is too clean. ”
"You mean there's something wrong with the books?" Ye Linchen raised his eyes and couldn't help but think of the account book that Xie Yaoguang gave him, which was also about the abandoned garden.
Without avoiding Gao Yuyan, they were still present, took out another account book and handed it over, motioning for him to compare. After taking the account book, as he turned the pages, Gao Yu's face became deeper and deeper, and seeing his appearance, Ye Linchen immediately understood what the problem was.
"If Weichen is not mistaken, Your Highness, you are the only one who should be spent in Zhang Qinyuan. Wechen's clean book is too fake, Wechen thinks that you should immediately interrogate Zhang Qin now. Gao Yuyan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, we should interrogate Zhang Qin immediately." The rest of the two are on the same path.
King Ding personally issued an official document from Dali Temple to interrogate Zhang Qin, and Zhang Qin did not dare not come.
In just one day, after adding that King Shou had already instructed the Criminal Department and others in Dali Temple to help and the evidence was conclusive, Zhang Qin was still ready to quibble and finally admit that he was the owner of the abandoned garden after seeing the account books and things.
He took out all the things he had done over the years, and provided a list of the given kings.
The list lists the origins and life experiences of the unnamed women in the abandoned garden, as well as a more detailed description of the expenses. However, the most regrettable thing is that Zhang Qin refused to mention the names of those officials who had gone to the abandoned garden to have fun.
Ye Linchen also reported all the truth to Emperor Li without ambiguity, because his hands were contaminated with too many lives, Emperor Li was furious when he heard the report from King Ding. Ye Linchen dealt with this person by himself to reassure the people.
After the four of them jointly discussed, it was proposed that he be dismissed from his post and investigated, and after all the criminal responsibilities were clarified, he was sentenced to be beheaded and confiscated from his family property after the autumn.
The case of the abandoned garden came and went quickly, but the remaining two cases were extremely tricky.
Yang Zhao's case is dead, and there is only one orphan girl named Wanyin left, who keeps saying that Yang Zhao killed her grandfather, and even wants to use the power in her hands to block all avenues for redress.
But they couldn't come up with evidence, and the three of them took turns to look for the inquiry in Lanxinglou that day, and the answers they got were all Sun Bo's provocation first, and after insulting the saint, Yang Zhao had to kill someone by mistake.
"Your Highness, what I should say is really that dead old man insulting the Holy One, and I accidentally beat him to death." Yang Zhao raised his head and looked at a few people, and said helplessly.
Seeing him like this, Shen Liangrin raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but scold: "Yang Zhao! Even so, it's good that you send people to Jing Zhaoyin, so why bother doing it? ”
"Lord Shen said this, if I don't stop him. Wouldn't it be a defilement of the Holy Hearing to let him talk nonsense! ”
Staring at Yang Zhao who looked indifferent, Ye Linchen couldn't help but sink his eyes. Sure enough, his thoughts were right, Yang Zhao's case was indeed a very tricky matter.
couldn't think of a solution for a while, so he could only order someone to take Yang Zhao back and detain him first, and let him try him again later.
"Your Highness, where do you think we should start now?" Gao Yuyan frowned and asked.
"It's just that we don't have any evidence, we're too passive in this matter." Shen Liangrin couldn't help but stomp his feet and sigh when he heard this.
"The world is as black as a crow, who can be in the Star Tower, Yang Minghan can use a little means to shut these people." Qian Yixi took a deep breath and couldn't help but pat the case with his sleeves and said: "It's bad, you have me, I have you!" To preserve Yang Zhao is to protect themselves. ”
Ye Linchen closed his eyes and thought for a moment, looked at Gao Yuyan and said, "Go to the Star Tower and ask the steward Bai Lu to come." ”
"Lord Shen bothered you to invite Yang Zhao's friends to interrogate them separately."
"Qian Zhongcheng, you go and interrogate Wanyin."
Hearing Ye Linchen's words, the three of them looked at each other and nodded in agreement, then bowed and withdrew. The people in the building may not tell the truth, and may even be complicit. And Bai Lu is the one who will tell the truth.
After half the incense, the guards came to inform that the people from Lanxinglou had arrived. Ye Linchen raised his head to look at the person who was slowly coming, and as the person got closer and closer, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
The person who came was actually Xie Yaoguang and not Bai Lu.
As if he hadn't seen the surprise on Ye Linchen's face, Shi Shiran bowed and said, "Bai Lu is behind, I'll see if there's anything I need help with." What's more, I'm the boss of Lanxinglou, of course. ”
As he spoke, Bai Lu had already walked into the room quickly, quickly glanced at the two people in front of him, and thought about what he wanted to say and what he shouldn't say.
"White girl, do you remember who was present in the Lanxing Tower that day to witness what happened?" Ye Linchen put down the letterhead in his hand, looked up at Bai Lu and asked in a deep voice.
"Naturally, I remember." Bai Lu tilted his head and squinted, and the person who was leisurely tasting said, "Their names are recorded in detail in the account books in the building. The women of the people also brought it today."
Bai Lu, who was smiling with a smile on his face, couldn't help but slander in his heart.
God knows that it is not dawn today, Zhuo Jing came in, saying that it was on the order of the lord to ask her to sort out the list of people who witnessed Yang Zhao's murder in the restaurant that day, which will definitely be useful.
Not long after she racked her brains and finished writing, Gao Yuyan brought someone to the door to find herself.
Thanks to Xie Yaoguang, otherwise she would not want to face these rights and wrongs.
After Gao Yuyan took the thing handed over by Bai Lu and handed it to Ye Linchenchen, he couldn't help but glance at Xie Yaoguang with a calm face several times.
Originally, I wanted to have a good chat with the other party, but when I saw the cold and ice-like face, I had to swallow the words back.
