Chapter 119: The Case
Ye Ping has no solid evidence in his hands, if he jumps out at this time and has to be nitpicking, it will offend everyone up and down, let alone continue to sit in this position, maybe he won't even be able to save his life.
Wen Shaoan naturally knew the stakes, but frowned slightly, "Not long after the case was concluded, the same case appeared, although it can't be said that the previous judgment was wrong, but there must be something strange in it, and the most important thing is that this matter is afraid that it will hurt the emperor's face." ”
Emperor Longqing was in power for a short time, and he was a man who wanted to show his strength, but he was constrained everywhere, not to mention, and he was not allowed to live in peace every day.
"There are two possibilities, one is that the person who was executed was indeed the prisoner, and now the person who killed in a similar way is just an intentional imitation, and the other is that we did kill the wrong person." Ye Ping pressed the corner of her forehead.
"No matter what the possibility is, it must be thoroughly investigated and handled impartially." Such a big case, and provoked Long Yan to anger, must implicate a large number of people, Dali Temple responsibility can not be shirked first.
"So it's dangerous," Ye Ping let out a long sigh, "I can't blame the reasoning of this matter, but once it is implicated, I am afraid that I will not be able to shirk it." ”
"If something really goes wrong, it should be Lord Han who bears the brunt."
"You also know that Lord Han is a good official, sometimes although he is a little reckless, but he is not a villain who cares about human life, and I can't bear to look at him......" Ye Ping sighed for a long time.
Wen Shaoan smiled, "Senior sister, do you want me to take out the entire Dali Temple?" ”
"Sure enough, it's Bing Xue's smart little junior brother." Ye Ping grinned, "This matter really has nothing to do with us. ”
"You investigated the case, and you judged the person, so how can it not be related to you?" Wen Shaoan's eyebrows and eyes are gentle, his tone is not hurried or slow, and he has a force to calm people's hearts.
"But the person was arrested by Jingzhao Mansion, and the emperor asked you to investigate the case in Dali Temple together, and he also had the idea of opening up the net."
Han Dao is not a cool official, he has a gentle temperament, is familiar with Confucianism and Legalist classics, and disapproves of extorting confessions by torture, so when the officials of Dali Temple today record confessions, they have almost never tortured people, and even this person who may have died unjustly is also he himself admitted to killing people, with a confession in hand, Han Dao naturally has the confidence to sentence him Ling Chi, as for the confession does not match the evidence, no one really cares about such details except Ye Ping.
What's more, Ye Ping and Han Dao worked happily together, with him in front of him to withstand the pressure of the Criminal Department, Jingzhao Mansion and Yushitai, her life could be better, and the most important thing was that she was recommended by Han Dao to sit in the position of Shaoqing the year before last, and her qualifications were still shallow, and Emperor Longqing did not particularly value her, even if Han Dao was demoted, it would not be her turn to take over, she naturally did not want Han Dao to be demoted.
"The top priority is to solve the case first, and then it will be a reward or a punishment, if this case has been hanging, it has nothing to do with you, and the emperor will definitely punish him."
"Then according to you, was that case really a manslaughter in the first place?"
Wen Shaoan groaned slightly, "The situation of this case is still not clear, but I have read the file back then, although according to the confession of the criminal, I can't find the murder weapon, but other physical evidence is also consistent with his confession, and there is indeed no big doubt about the facts of the case." ”
"So, you also think last year's murderer was the real murderer?"
"If it is based on the case file alone, it should be so." Wen Shaoan nodded.
"I feel the same way, but what's going on with the case these days? The handwriting and choice of words and sentences are very similar to the previous ones, so it can't be a coincidence, right? Ye Ping also felt that the person was not completely innocent last year, although the confession was not correct, so she did not argue with reason, but what happened in the past few days undoubtedly gave her a resounding slap in the face.
"For now, it's just similar to the previous case, not to mention that the previous cases didn't receive a surrender, maybe it was the murderer's temporary intention, I think we should focus on the murderer's killing methods, rather than surrendering, his methods of killing people are different from the cases of last year, but like the previous cases of unprovoked violent death, they all used unconventional means to kill."
"Do you suspect it's the Nanban Secret Technique?" Ye Ping's face was sad, "But where can we find someone who is proficient in the secret art of the Southern Barbarians." ”
"Lord Yu, there is a woman who claims to be the fifth girl of the Chengenhou Mansion and asks to see her."
"The five girls of the Chengenhou Mansion? That little girl named Cheng Jin? A different color flashed in Ye Ping's eyes, "When Tong Fusheng was burned to death at the gate of Dali Temple that day, she was also present, and she seemed to be quite knowledgeable." ”
Seeing Wen Shaoan's different expression, Ye Pingqi said, "You also know her?" ”
"I had a relationship in the palace." Wen Shaoan nodded slightly.
Ye Ping didn't think about it, Cheng Jin is the niece of the Empress Dowager Cheng, Wen Shaoan is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, the two have met in the palace, it is normal.
"How?"
Wen Shaoan's face was solemn, and it took a few breaths before he came back to his senses, "What's the matter?" ”
"How is Miss Cheng Wu? Born beautifully, right? Ye Ping smiled, "You lost your mind when you heard her name, but this is the first time I've seen you like this." ”
"Let me evaluate a boudoir daughter, which is not in line with etiquette." Wen Shao'an replied frankly, he naturally didn't lose his mind because Cheng Jinsheng was beautiful.
"Young people don't have to be so pedantic, don't you think this Cheng Wu girl is extremely beautiful? Everyone has a heart for beauty, and it is not surprising that you are in your youth and have the heart of Muai. ”
Wen Shao'an was silent, no matter what her true origin was, but Miss Cheng Wu was only an eleven-year-old girl now, innocent and childish, and he really didn't know where she saw that she was born extremely beautiful.
"In other words, this Cheng Wu girl is also a strange person, born with divine power, and her strength can carry the tripod, but she was born an idiot, who knew that a few days ago it was suddenly fine, and it was said that the soul that was gone was struck by thunder and returned to its place. Don't you think it's strange that she is not only behaving like a normal person, but also being smarter than an ordinary person? ”
"How can all strange people and strange things in the world be speculated with common sense?"
"When this matter spread, I thought it was someone else's oil and vinegar, how could dementia be cured overnight, or it was struck by lightning, but I saw it with my own eyes today, and I can't let me not believe it, little junior brother, do you believe it?" Ye Ping seemed to have a sudden interest in talking, put down the case and didn't mention it, and pulled Wen Shao to ask incessantly.
"The world is so big, there are no wonders, what is not to be trusted?"
"It happened that spring thunder that slashed the young lady of the Cheng family back to her soul, and also split the Sihua Hall in the palace on fire, don't you think it's a bit of a coincidence?" Ye Ping looked at him inquiringly.
