The Criminal Department did not make a statement, but first transferred the file sent by Jingzhao Mansion to check, and found that Yu Wenhao had beheaded the butcher, in other words, Yu Wenhao was wrongly sentenced.

Before the matter could be returned to the emperor, it first spread in the capital, and the butcher suddenly became a pitiful victim for everyone, and his wife was humiliated by stealing people, and was finally beheaded as a murderer.

The palace of Chu is really unlucky, it has caused public anger again and again, although the matter of the crown princess going to the leprosy mountain has calmed down before, but I don't know what happened, because the prince misjudged the case, and now it is taken out again.

Everyone thinks that the prince made great achievements in the early years of the war, is famous, and has been in charge of Jingzhao Mansion for so long, and has never had an unjust, false and wrongful case, and now he has wrongly judged the butcher and killed the wrong good person, it must be caused by the princess being contaminated with bad luck on the leprosy mountain, the prince is the country's capital, and now it has affected the prince, so what will happen next, who knows?

Therefore, the emperor did not ask for the crime, and the people made a fuss.

It's troublesome, but I don't know what's going on, there are people who say that King An is virtuous and talented, and he is the best candidate to inherit the unification, if this is just a few sounds, there are still people on the streets of the imperial city shouting that they want the emperor to abolish the prince and canonize King An as the prince.

When Gu Si brought people out to arrest them, the people who were shouting dispersed in a hurry, Gu Si only caught one person, took him back and interrogated him strictly, but the person was tortured, and confessed that someone gave them silver, and instructed them to make trouble on the streets of the imperial city, saying that the emperor and the minister of civil and military affairs could hear the voice of public opinion.

As for the man who gave the money, it was a woman, and she was very beautiful.

Gu Si naturally replied to Emperor Ming Yuan, Emperor Ming Yuan was furious and slapped the table, "Public opinion?

Haven't I heard enough public opinion lately? ”

Chu Shoufu said beside him: "The emperor is angry, there have been several troubles among the people recently, and there seems to be someone behind the leadership, especially the matter of the princess going to the leprosy mountain, the people are in an uproar, and they dare to do it to the princess at the gate of the Chu Palace, and they originally called Huaiwang Xianneng, should establish Huaiwang, and now they say that King An is virtuous, and wants to establish King An, according to the old minister, this person should deliberately disturb the Northern Tang Dynasty and shake the country's foundation, and it is necessary to strictly investigate to correct the crooked wind and calm the hearts of the people. ”

Emperor Ming Yuan's anger did not subside, "The fifth child is also ridiculous, there have been so many cases in Beijing recently, and none of them have been solved, aren't Jingzhao Mansion all idiots who eat dry rice?" ”

Chu Shoufu said: "The case has been solved, however, the civil disturbance has also started because of this case, yesterday the prince beheaded the murderer of a case, but I don't know that someone went to the criminal department to surrender, saying that he is the real murderer, but the excerpt of the criminal department has not yet reached the hands of the old minister, it was publicized, the people heard that the wrong unjust, false and wrong case, they all cried for him, denounced the prince, those few clamoring to let King An be the prince, is mixed in this group of troublesome people. ”

Emperor Ming Yuan frowned, "There is such a thing?"

Has the Criminal Department verified it?

Is the man who turned himself in the murderer? ”

"It's still under investigation."

Emperor Ming Yuan said angrily: "Since it hasn't been verified yet, why did it spread out?"

If that person is not the murderer, the people will be suspicious if it is spread out, how could the criminal department let this case leak out? ”

Chu Shoufu bowed and said: "The emperor is angry, the old minister will go and ask to understand, tomorrow is the rising sun, presumably the criminal department will also play this case in the palace." ”

"You go and keep an eye on it, and you must find out the truth."

Emperor Ming Yuan.

"Yes!"

Shousuke retired.

After leaving the palace, Shoufu went straight to the Criminal Department, and together with the Criminal Department Shangshu, he presided over the trial of the suspected murderer who surrendered.

The suspect's name is Rong Guichun, who was originally from Baixi, and he was very burly and vicious.

He confessed to the crime, saying that his daughter-in-law was killed by him as a thief, and after killing his daughter-in-law, he fled into Beijing, and worked incognito as a cook in a restaurant, and he rented a house, which was next door to the butcher, and knew that the butcher's wife had an affair with a widower, so he remembered that his wife had betrayed him, and killed the two in a moment of anger, and after the killing, he was afraid, so he threw the blood-stained murderer, utensils and bloody clothes in the butcher's house, creating the illusion that the butcher had killed his wife, and then fled to hide.

It's just that after he went out, he remembered that he had received the butcher's kindness, and he felt guilty, so he hurriedly returned to Beijing and wanted to turn himself in, but it was already a step too late, and the butcher had already been sentenced to beheading by Jingzhao Mansion.

He can tell the facts and details of the murder clearly and clearly, and it seems that he is undoubtedly the murderer.

After Sun Shangshu of the Criminal Department interrogated, he asked someone to escort the murderer down, and then bowed to Chu Shoufu, "Shoufu, I personally participated in the interrogation of this case, in your opinion, did the prince make a mistake?" ”

Sun Shangshu was newly appointed for two months, and was originally the deputy envoy of salt and iron, but he was later recommended to the main criminal department and served as the secretary of the criminal department, which can be regarded as a flying up.

He is very resolute, and since he has been fighting several murder cases in Beijing, he has urged Jingzhao Mansion to solve the case, and let Jingzhao Mansion solve the case within a time limit, which is also his order.

Chu Shoufu flipped through the case file several times, and said in a deep voice: "This person's confession can match the facts of the murder, and the details of the murder are not much different from the results of the investigation, it seems that he is really the murderer." ”

Sun Shangshu said: "In this case, then the lower official will start the palace tomorrow, in addition to reporting this case, he also has to participate in the prince's book, does the first assistant want to participate in the joint performance with the lower official?" ”

Chu Shoufu looked at Sun Shangshu's face of quick success, and said: "Lord Sun, you can report this case, and if you report this case, it doesn't matter if you participate in it or not, the emperor has his own decision." ”

Sun Shangshu said righteously: "The lower officials thought that the case was returned to the case, and the case was verified to only bring the murderer to justice, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince misjudged the case and killed innocent people in vain. ”

Chu Shoufu said: "If you want to go to the fold, you don't have to go up tomorrow morning, you can go to the cabinet first and let the official look at it before handing it to the emperor, so that you can also take care of the prince's face." ”

Sun Shangshu said: "Xia Guan thinks that there is no need to do this, since he is going to return to this case tomorrow, why not directly participate in it?"

And the lower officials think that the prince's face is important, but it is more important than human life. ”

Shoufu said lightly: "Then you can play, the official was ordered to investigate the case, and the official will only inform the emperor of the truth of the facts. ”

After saying that, he asked for a copy of the case file to be copied, and then left.

He didn't enter the palace to report, but went directly to Jingzhao Mansion to find Yu Wenhao.

Yu Wenhao didn't know that the wind and rain were coming, and he was still working overtime in Jingzhao Mansion to investigate the remaining cases, and when he saw Shoufu coming, he welcomed him in, and the tea soup was waiting.

Shousuke threw him the case copied from the Criminal Department, "Take a look, the prince has confessed." ”

Yu Wenhao summoned Fu Cheng in and looked at the case file together.

Shoufu gently knocked on the table with the back of his hand and said, "Tomorrow morning, the prince must be mentally prepared, Sun Shangshu is looking for someone to join you." ”

Yu Wenhao blinked, "Is there any way?"

looks cute, and many people always think about it. ”
