Shi Tuiguan never expected that this question would ask such a terrifying inside story, fortunately he was sitting in a chair with a backrest in the back, otherwise he was afraid that he would have fallen to the ground on his back facing the sky, but now, even though Lan Ting looked at him several times, he never received any signals, and he was like a wooden chicken, completely forgetting that he was still the presiding judge.
In the end, Tao Xiao is so calm, Jin Yiwei's function is to dig out the secrets of the inside story, and his various bizarre and amazing confessions to people and criminals are commonplace, but he has not forgotten the "main topic".
"The murder of Chai Hupu was ordered by you to commit the murder?" The pacification envoy asked.
"Yes."
"Fan Da is just an ordinary person, why did Song Guogong want to harm his family?"
Because after Feng Yuqi's death, the villain noticed that Fan Er had quietly contacted Fan Da and violated the ban of Sangmenshi, Song Guogong strictly forbade the dead from contacting people without permission, especially not allowing the dead to contact his family again, the villain found out that Fan Er had violated the ban and immediately reported to Gao Shizi, who ordered Fan Er to be executed, and ordered to prevent Fan Er from leaking secrets and exterminate Fan Da's family.
That night, the villain carried out Gao Shizi's order, sneaked into the thirteenth lane of Chai Hupu, and planned to kill Fan Da's family and set fire to the corpse, causing the illusion that his family died in a fire, how did he know that the villain sneaked into Fan's house, but saw that Fan Da was like a demon, I don't know why he actually strangled two children with his own hands, his dumb mother-in-law had obviously woken up, and he was also a fool who sat on the kang and watched Fan Da commit murder without stopping it, and later helped Fan Da put the bodies of the two children side by side, and he also lay aside and was strangled by Fan Da her, Fan Da killed his wife and children, seemed to want to kill himself, but he couldn't do it for a long time, the villain was impatient to wait, he was still sitting there kneeling and crying, and then the villain was really anxious to complete the order, and stabbed him with a knife, burned his body and ignited the beam of the house and left. ”
"Since you want to destroy the corpse, why only destroy Fan's body and not burn the other three together?" Lan Ting asked.
He finally saw Lu Jian's eyebrows shrug slightly, as if he was unprepared for this question, which caused panic and thinking in a hurry.
The villain did not expect Fan Da to kill his wife and children, witnessing that situation, his heart was extremely shocked, you need to know that tiger poison does not eat children, even if the villain is such a dead man, there is no ruthlessness to kill his wife and son, at that time the villain was taken aback by Fan Da's behavior, inevitably a little panicked, and also worried that the fire together attracted the neighbors is not conducive to getting out, because Fan's wife and child are not villains to kill, at that time I felt that there was no need to destroy his body, afterwards the villain also realized the mistake, and only thought of making up for it, after disguise, bribed the chai hu shop with two hundred taels of silver and asked him to report a water accident. ”
"You said that you have been ordered to put Fan Er to death, I don't know where his body is?" Lan Ting asked again.
Lu Jian's eyebrow bone shrugged again: "It has been burned in the wilderness, and the ashes of the corpse are thrown into the river." ”
According to this, the truth of the Chai Hupu murder case seems to have been revealed.
When the three of them returned to the deacon's room from prison, Shi Tuiguan had not yet recovered from his shock: "Sang Zhuzhou turned out to be the adulterous son of Song Guogong and Sang Meiren, and even His Royal Highness Taisun was born of adultery by the crown princess. ”
Lan Ting bent his fingers and pressed his forehead, deciding that it would be better not to let him know too much about his innocent and frank personality like Uncle Shi: "His Royal Highness the Taisun was born of adultery by the crown princess, it is only Lu Jian's confession, even if he does not make it up, he only listens to what Gao Shizi said, and he can't be gullible. ”
Shi Yuanhe shook his head again and again: "Don't remind me, this matter is very important, and it cannot be judged only on the confession of a deceased soldier, the emperor just ordered the Shuntian Mansion to push the official Yamen to try the case of Chai Hu Pu destroying the door...... By the way, don't think it's true that Lu Jian's confession that Fan's wife and his second son were killed by Fan Da? ”
"Since Lu Jian has already confessed that Fan Da was killed by him, and he also participated in the assassination of Feng Xuanqi and other crimes, there is no need to deny the murder of Fan's wife and his two sons, and according to the inquest scene and the body, his confession is also consistent with the cause of death of Fan Da, Fan's wife and two sons. Lan Ting did not forget to ask Tao Xiaoshen's opinion: "This is the opinion of the court, I don't know what Tao Zhen wants?" ”
"After I interrogated Sang Zhuzhou and others, they never mentioned that Song Guogong had an affair with Sang, and the section on adultery and childbirth is still to be confirmed, but after their confession, Guo Deli and Fan Er did participate in the assassination of Feng Yuqi and was executed by Lu Jian, so I agree with Ji Bei's opinion, the Fan family murder case is over, but the part involving the Taisun still needs to be cautious, and I also ask Shi Gong not to make a noise, I should confess Lu Jian to the Emperor Mi Xuan."
Coming out of the Tuiguan Yamen, Lan Ting and Tao Xiaoshen still had to go on a journey together, and Tao Xiaoshen asked him: "Don't ask Meng Dajing today because of who recommended him to join Song Guogong, should he have another intention?" ”
"I do have doubts about Lu Jian's arrest and confession." Lan Ting didn't want to hide Tao Xiaoshen: "I believe Tao Zhenfu also noticed that if it weren't for the murder of the Fan family, Lu Jian would most likely become a fish that slipped through the net." ”
"After Feng Yuqi was assassinated, I and Gaochang Gong confirmed the case by holy order, and the first thing to find out was the stronghold of Luo Shengli in the West Fang of Chaotian Palace, and it was only after touching the melon that I tracked down the Sang family's mansion, and the Huanghuafang stronghold where Lu Jian was located was exposed because of his contact with Sang Zhuzhou after he killed Fan Da, it can also be said that if there is no murder case of the Fan family, even if Sang Zhuzhou confesses, Lu Jian and others will have enough time to evacuate."
"I suspect that Lu Jian was deliberately exposed."
"The key to his confession today is to expose the crime of doubting the ancestry of the grandson and the mastermind of raising the dead and imitating the imperial court system." Tao Xiaoshen also said: "It seems that even the assassination of Feng Yuqi is not simple, it is someone who wants to shake the position of the grandson." ”
The pacification envoy frowned tightly, he has a lot of experience in investigating cases and breaking prisons, but he is a little hesitant to judge the situation above the court, otherwise he would not have been almost involved in a power struggle in the early years, if it wasn't for Lan Ting's advice for him, he would probably be implicated in a daze, and it would be inevitable to seize his post and be convicted.
This is the reason why Tao Xiaoshen was really impressed by Lan Ting, not just because he was grateful for the kindness of Master Zhao's knowledge, so he was also happy and convinced of his eldest grandson.
Nowadays, about the series of crimes in the Song State Mansion, the more you investigate, the more strange it becomes, the person who is involved is not only the grandson, but also the prince and prince, how many royal relatives and relatives, the situation is so complicated, Tao Xiaoshen is very self-aware, and knows that he is not as high as the governor of Dongchang to be able to figure out his intentions, and if he is not careful, he may fall into the trap of others, and he needs Lan Ting's guidance very much.
"The emperor wants to investigate the crimes of Song Guogong, because he has already woken up to the great influence of the Gao family, and if he connives, Song Guogong will become a traitor to control the government and the country and the people, so about the many crimes of the crown princess and Song Guogong, the court thinks that Tao Zhen does not need many scruples, and can be truthful.
But about Lu Jian's revelation, the grandson was born to the princess's adulterous half-brother Sang Zhuzhou, which is ridiculous and cannot be believed, and Tao Gong's functions are different, so the court thought that Tao Gong might be able to complain to the emperor
Untie. Lan Ting did bluntly say his advice.
"Don't you think that this part of Lu Jian's confession is slander?"
"At most, only Gao Qiong and Sang have a private relationship, which is true." Lan Ting said: "The Sang family was conceived without favor in the inner court, and he must have committed adultery with others, and the foreign ministers who were able to enter and leave the inner court without fear were only Yuyang Zhenren, he and the Sang family had a personal affair, so he tried to save the Sang family from death, and smuggled the Sang family out of the palace unconsciously, and only Yuyang Zhenren could do it, he wanted to let the Song Guogong privately hide the Sang family so that he could often secretly meet, he had to compile a set of mysterious sayings, but he didn't expect to stimulate the ambition of Song Guogong, I really thought that if I could have a son with the Sang family, I would get the mandate of heaven to usurp the country and call the emperor, Song Guogong in order to dominate the Sang family, plotted to kill Yuyang Zhenren, and had high hopes for Sang Zhuzhou, but Tao Gong tried to think that if Song Guogong really believed in Yuyang Zhenren's heresy, why would he make such a move to let the crown princess and Sang Zhuzhou commit adultery against human ethics? ”
Tao Xiaoshen bowed slightly.
"I'm afraid that about the Sang family's mother and son, the crown princess was kept in the dark by Song Guogong, according to the court, Song Guogong intends to usurp the country, steal the world, and use the crown princess as a pawn, of course he will hide his true intentions, otherwise if the crown princess knows that Song Guogong actually wants to assist Sang Zhuzhou, how can she have a foothold? Nowadays, in the world, women's loss of temperament is despised by the world, even if the grandson is the blood of Sang Zhuzhou, but who in the world does not know that the princess is the wife of the royal family surnamed Qin? And no matter how shameful the brother and sister are, once Sang Zhuzhou ascends the throne, the crown princess Gao has only a dead end, and there is no hope for the mother to honor the world, so the court thinks that the crown princess should not know the true intentions of Song Guogong, and His Royal Highness the prince is indeed the orphan of the late prince. ”
Tao Xiaoshen understood this time: "Don't you suggest that I don't implicate too much in the case of the Song Guogong Mansion?" ”
"Tao Gong's position belongs to the Jinyi Health Department, only the order of the Son of Heaven is from, and I should understand in my heart that the emperor is not only the grandfather of His Royal Highness Taisun, but also the King of Qi, the King of Qin and the princes, all of whom are the emperor's flesh and blood, if the emperor makes up his mind to remove the lesion, Tao Gong can naturally share the worries for the monarch, otherwise...... Don't risk the disapproval of the heavenly family. ”
Jinyiwei is different from the courtiers, the functions of this institution are actually similar to the Dongchang, they are directly under the orders of the monarch to prevent the imperial power from being threatened, theoretically and the civil and military officials are in an opposing position, in the vast majority of the time, the monarch gives more trust to the factory guards, so they can often determine the life and death of the courtiers, in order to make the world's ministers frightened.
However, according to the different temperaments of the monarch on the dragon chair, the authority of the factory guard is also different, such as Emperor Hongfu, who trusts the courtiers more than the eunuchs, and Emperor Hongfu because of his benevolence, he still has a forgiveness for the traitors and the people, and those who are not guilty of great crimes are unwilling to be executed.
Some people, such as Gao Deyi and Tao Xiaoshen, respected the ruling policy of Emperor Hongfu, and administered justice and did not slander loyalty.
There are also some people, but they are nostalgic for the rampant violence of Guangzong and even Daizong, the factory guards can do whatever they want, their eyes are always looking for the "good master", intending to restore the power and glory that the factory guards should have.
Benevolence cannot be called the fault of Emperor Hongfu, but the benevolence of the indecisive woman today has indeed become the reason why the evil cannot be eliminated and the real prosperity of the world is true, and Lan Ting is deeply concerned about his grandfather.
But he still can't be impatient, he can't use an upright person like Tao Xiaoshen to test the emperor's heart, and he can't use Tao Xiaoshen as bait to lure out the giant beast python hiding in the haze.
It was quite necessary to figure it slowly, although Lan Ting had already made a decision in his heart at this time.
