Chungui couldn't help but glance at the "long beard" worriedly, she was really worried that this person would not be able to stand the stimulation and die on the spot.

Lan Ting's expression of returning to the spring was almost unbearable, and he didn't intend to rely on Mrs. Shen's toughness to calm down the turmoil, so he no longer stood idly by, invited Mrs. Shen to sit down, and then turned to face the group of officials who were so angry that their chests fluctuated: "Because it was unfair for a student to sue Dongxu for the murder case, my father decided to retry the case, how did I know that Jiang was arraigned, but I saw that she looked crazy and couldn't ask about the case. It was only today that the father felt unwell, so Lan Ting took the warrant to the prison to raise people, and because he wanted to place Jiang in the inner court, he had to tell the housewife of the inner court, not that the lady was involved in foreign affairs, and asked the gentlemen to misunderstand. ”

The fact is that Lan Ting knew that as soon as Jiang was put to death prison, he would inevitably startle the snake, causing Hu Duan to protest fiercely, so he told his father how to deal with everyone's doubts, but Zhao Zhouzun did not approve of Lan Ting's actions at all, but he couldn't stop it, so he simply pretended to be sick and continued to be his hand-shaking Zhizhou, so Lan Ting had to personally mention Jiang and come forward to argue with these officials.

"The Dongxu murder case was personally tried by this official, the murderer Jiang has already pleaded guilty, and the case has been reported, and Jiang Shi will be escorted to the Criminal Department for nuclear execution just by mentioning the reply of the Criminal Division, how can the case be retried just by relying on the complaint of a student?"

Chungui looked at the person who spoke......

"The Female Analects" is indeed Hu Tong's judgment.

"You tortured that poor woman to confess to hysteria, and you dare to say that the verdict is fair, what does the law stipulate that death row prisoners must be approved by the emperor before they can be executed, because you are worried that you corrupt officials will arbitrarily judge cases and harm innocent people." Mrs. Shen poured out all her resentment against Fei's body on Hu Duan's body, this pair of men and women are both arrogant and arrogant, and they are not good people!

"Madame is a family member, no wonder I don't know the law, when the case is tried in the court, when the suspect slyly does not admit guilt, he can be tortured, Jiang argues in the court, and the official uses torture according to the law, no more than two fingers, and no more than three flogging, how can he coerce a confession?" Hu Duan stood tall proudly, didn't look at Mrs. Shen, and was very disdainful of a female streamer who repeatedly intervened in official business.

Lan Ting said: "Since Hu Tong knows the law, why does he question his father's retrial of this case? Now that the reply of the Criminal Division has not arrived, since the criminal has not yet been sent to the capital, in order to avoid wrongdoing, it is legal to make a clear judgment in Fenzhou, should it be more appropriate to be a prisoner to be sent to the capital, and the relatives to the criminal department to complain about injustice, and then send it to the retrial to delay the administration of justice? ”

Hu Duan's general judgment is not only a first-instance trial official, when the case is in doubt, it is the procedure for his superior, Zhao Jiangcheng, to preside over the retrial, of course, Hu Duan also has the right to protest, but the practice is to use the method of playing a lawsuit in the court, and the behavior of gathering a crowd to break into the inner court of Zhizhou is unreasonable.

However, there are not a few unreasonable officials now, and Lan Ting is not surprised.

"Even if Zhao Zhouzun wants to retry the Dongxu murder case, he shouldn't hide the prisoner Jiang in the inner court, so how can he exempt Gua Tian Li!" Hu Duan said angrily.

"The prisoner Jiang is the key to this case, because she is delirious because of hysteria, she should be diagnosed and treated, this is also to determine the fairness of the doubtful case, but the heart disease is not more important than ordinary diseases, more attention is paid to recuperation and avoid stimulation, if Jiang is still in prison for diagnosis and treatment, how can he recover? Even if she is temporarily placed in the foreign government and released from prison, it is inevitable that she will lose her care, which is not conducive to her recovery. Lan Ting also remarked: "Although it is against the convention, it is also a change of power for a reason, Jiang's temporary stay in the inner court of the state government, it is impossible to escape, if Hu Tong's judgment is really confident that the case is fair, why bother with such details?" ”

"Zhao Gongzi, is this going to sit on the wrong official's judgment of the murder case and wronged the people?" Hu Duan's face became even colder.

"Don't dare, my father's retrial of this case is also to avoid damage to Hu Tong's official reputation." It's perfunctory to hear.

But Hu Duan also knew that it was impossible to force Lan Ting to return the Jiang family if he was entangled here, but he was pestered by Mrs. Shen, and if he really went to the emperor to sue them, saying that they had bad intentions in the inner court of the state government, even if they would not be convicted for it, it would be a joke and insulting to Sven.

I had to stop for the time being.

Here, Lan Ting thanked Mrs. Shen, and returned to the courtyard with Chungui, waiting for Hu Duan's change, and soon got the news, saying that Hu Duanli sent two passers-by, all the way to Dongxu to see Wu Ergui, all the way to the house and the household secretary whispered.

Wu Ergui is just that, Chungui is thinking about the horizontal and vertical canals, and she can turn her head to make it clear what she says, but she is really a little confused about the Lang Zhong named Guo Guang.

On the night of the crime, he was already a little strange when he appeared at Jiao Manshi's house, why did he immediately report to Hu Duan as soon as he asked him? But according to Brother Sun Shi, Jiang's testimony did not mention Guo Guang in the past, and he should have nothing to do with Wu Dagui's murder. ”

"This Lang Zhong is indeed a little weird, but I secretly touched his bottom, and the feedback I got is that he has no bad deeds, some poor people really have no money to ask for a doctor, if there is a critical illness, he is willing to go to the doctor, so the poor are in arrears and do not chase after the consultation."

"And that Hu Duan, who was not in a hurry to confess with the priest of the torture room, but found the secretary of the household, what kind of name is this?"

"I can't solve it for the time being, so let's wait for the news of the two brothers, Yin and Sun." Lan Ting looked breathless.

Sure enough, there was an echo soon, but it was when the household secretary was about to burn the book, he was caught red-handed, Yin Jiyu inspected the book, and it was recorded that when Jiao Manshi was old last year, he was designated as the grain chief of the Dongxu area to collect autumn grain, but later because he absconded, he could not complete the collection, and the household had to choose another house, but this was originally a reasonable thing, so where did the secretary need to burn the documents?

Chungui only felt confused, but Lan Ting's expression gradually became solemn, and he still invited Yin Jiyu and Sun Ning to discuss despite the fact that it was already twilight.

When Lan Ting said what he thought in his heart, Yin Jiyu and Sun Ning were dumbfounded, and after a long while, Yin Jiyu said: "It is not difficult to confirm this speculation, just detain Guo Guanglai and force him to ask." ”

"He is an innocent person, even if he conceals something and causes the Jiang family to be wronged, I am afraid that it is because of the threat of Hu Duan, an official, that he cannot protect himself, and he will be tortured if he is pressed, but severe punishment should not be applied to innocent people." Lan Ting did not agree with Yin Jiyu's proposal: "How to confirm my inference, let's think about it in the long run, but if my speculation is right, Hu Duan will definitely not sit still, the immediate urgency is to think of a good countermeasure to deal with his counterattack, the master is still looking forward and not daring to come forward at this time, Brother Yin and I are both white, and we have no strength to contend with many state officials, so we need foreign aid." ”

And as Lan Ting expected, when Hu Duan learned that the household secretary was caught red-handed, he was really angry, and he was about to use the official authority of the general judgment to rob Yin Jiyu, a district scrivener, and was dissuaded by one of his doormen in time: "How can the household secretary not know that the nonsense bite is not beneficial to himself, what is the crime of burning the documents?" It's just a temporary dismissal, as long as you don't drive you, I'm afraid that there will be no benefit to him in the future? These officials are all treacherous people, and they know what is important and what is bad. ”

"I was also forced to be anxious by Zhao Jiangcheng." Hu Duan's face was gloomy: "The Zhao family and the Xu family are world friends, when Zhao Taishi was alive, he and Yuan Ge Lao Zheng disagreed, Zhao Jiangcheng recovered together, and took over Fenzhou, he must be keeping an eye on Shi Gong, trying to find a handle to trap Shi Gong in a disadvantage, but the case of Dongxu is bias......ed At the beginning, I thought it was simple, and if I didn't watch out for it, it would cause such a big trouble! ”

"Listening to the words of Don't drive, the state zun was sick earlier, but the eldest prince came forward to deal with it, this situation seems to be a little weird, it's not good that the state zun didn't make up his mind, it was Yin Jiyu and Zhao Dagongzi who lobbied on the side, so he taught the state to be suspicious, if this is the case, it will not be difficult to recover and calm down." The doorman saw that there was something strange about Lord Zhizhou's attitude.

To say that an official like Zhao Jiangcheng, after being admitted to the Jinshi, took the path of Hanlin Qingliu, never released as an official, and did not understand the local "conventions" at all, and mostly relied on subordinate officials and wingmen like Yin Jiyu to plan office affairs for him, and it should have been a term of office that passed safely without danger and was transferred back to the DPRK to serve as a Beijing official, of course, some governors of the state capital will also bring their children and nephews to experience, so it is not a strange thing to take the idea like Lan Ting.

The strange thing is that Zhao Zhizhou didn't plan to take his son and nephew to experience at all, but he had no choice but to obey his son.

Therefore, whether it is Hu Duan or his disciple, at most he can only suspect that Zhao Zhizhou still has doubts and has not yet firmly asserted.

The doorman continued to give advice: "Zhou Yuanjun is Yuan Ge's in-law, as long as he doesn't drive a euphemistic letter, let Zhou Yuanjun know that this case is very important, and the sentence will be retried according to the prosecutor's office, maybe Zhao Zhouzun will not dare to compete with Shangguan, and even if he still doesn't back down, he has to hand over the chapter to the court to plead his defense, although he has the support of Xu Ge Lao, but don't drive Yuan Ge Lao and Shi Gong to help?" ”

Hu Duan slapped his thigh and decided to send a letter for help.
