Chapter 513: Thorough Investigation
"Your Majesty, yesterday Weichen received a letter from Kang Youfu, the magistrate of Yongxian County, which is under Dingzhou Prefecture. The letter accused General Lin Yu, the king of Fuxi, of doing evil in the county, not only whipping innocent people, but also hanging Hu Yibo, the prefect of Dingzhou Prefecture, who went to stop him, on the city wall to show the public, and ordered people to beat Kang Youfu to serious injuries, which is clearly treating the national law and discipline as if there is nothing!"
Pang Xianghan said with a righteous face, and said in an excited tone, and glanced at the old man Lin who was standing on the side out of the corner of his eye as he spoke.
But to his surprise, Old Man Lin was still unmoved as if he hadn't heard these words at all, standing like a green pine, his hands clasped in front of his chest, his eyes slightly narrowed, his breathing was even, and from time to time there was a slight snoring sound - obviously asleep.
Of course, Old Man Lin wouldn't really fall asleep, but he really didn't take Pang Xianghan's words seriously.
And according to his understanding of Xiao Yu, he will never do anything without a head, it must be the other party who provokes him.
Besides, the dignified King of Fuxi is one rank higher than his own duke, what's wrong with being a petty official? Even if you screw off all their heads and kick them as balls, it's not a big deal! I don't need to worry about him at all.
Old Man Lin was worried at this time, but it was his other grandson Lin Hai.
This stinky boy has encountered a lot of troubles recently, the first and most important thing is that he has been married to Guan Jianizi for some days, but the two don't seem to be in a hurry to have children, one dances with knives and guns all day long, and the other knows to run to the Shenwei camp, and this granddaughter-in-law's stomach is not moving at all.
But this matter is not easy to urge, and the old man Lin is holding back his eyes and turning green: Why don't you think about it for me? Even if you two are not in a hurry, I still hope to be able to hug my great-grandson as soon as possible! My old bones look tough, who knows how many years I can go back?
The second is the position of the dean of the Military Academy, Lin Hai doesn't seem to be too concerned about this, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.
How many people in the court have squeezed their heads out for this errand? Especially Situ Wuji, an old thing, secretly recruited a lot of people to help, and he looked like he was determined to win, which made him angry when he saw it!
Lin Hai, who was full of thoughts, made Old Man Lin feel that Lin Yu's beating was a trivial matter, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.
At this time, Yu Shaoxi was completely opposite to Old Man Lin's indifferent attitude: he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, and his nails almost scratched five scratches on the dragon case.
He had already put this incident behind him and treated it as if it had never happened, so why did Kang Youfu file a complaint with the Criminal Department again? Is this county magistrate really stupid or fake stupid? Is it too lacking in eyesight! Do you have to make some trouble to be reconciled?
But this morning, Yu Shaoxi couldn't pretend not to hear Pang Xianghan's invitation, so he could only grit his teeth and ask word by word: "So, what does Pang Aiqing think about this matter?"
In fact, Yu Shaoxi didn't know that when Kang Youfu's letter was delivered to Situ Wuji and several other scholars, they were also a little dumbfounded by the letter and felt very embarrassed.
If the person concerned is replaced by any official in the court, I believe that the matter will be resolved properly soon, but the protagonist is the king of Fuxi, who is known as the first gentleman in the imperial capital, and this alone has already given you a headache for Lord Shangshu.
In terms of official positions, they are not as big as King Fuxi, and in terms of brains, no one is as witty as Lin Yu. Don't you see, as long as it is against Lin Yu, which one can have a good end? If you come forward rashly, it is very likely that you will not even be able to save your life, who would dare to take this hot potato!
Originally, Situ Wuji didn't want to come out, he was already scared by Lin Yu. It's just that after thinking about it, now that Lin Yu is not in the imperial capital, he can't threaten himself at all, so why should he avoid him like a bull ghost and snake god?
However, in order to protect himself, Situ Wuji still played a trick. Under his hint, Pang Xianghan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, reluctantly stood up, because he was Hu Yiguan's backer.
In Situ Wuji's words, if he doesn't come forward this time, he is likely to be disgraced in front of other officials in the future, after all, who else will obey you if he doesn't even help his own subordinates?
Later, Situ Wuji also secretly promised that if it came to fruition, Pang Xianghan would get a lot of benefits, and it would not be a loss, so he would bring up this matter in the court.
"Returning to Your Majesty, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, Wei Chen believes that he must immediately send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly! If what Kangzhi County said is true, then the person concerned must be arrested immediately and dealt with in accordance with the laws of Great Xia!" Pang Xianghan replied loudly.
He didn't hear Yu Shaoxi's gritted teeth at all, nor did he look up to see Yu Shaoxi's unhappy expression, and thought that His Majesty was encouraging him to express his opinions and expressing support for himself, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
Yu Shaoxi's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, and he didn't answer Pang Xianghan's words, he directly glanced around the court, pointed to one of the officials, and said: "In that case, the imperial envoy will listen to the order! I order you and Pang Xianghan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to go to Yongding County on the same day to investigate the matter thoroughly and see what is going on." ”
"If someone really does anything that hurts the heavens and oppresses the people, then no matter how high his rank and status are, he must be severely punished!" After saying this sentence in a cold tone, Yu Shaoxi sneered in his heart.
Okay! Since you Pang Xianghan want to check, then go and check! It's good to check hard, just keep Lin Yu in that small place, it's best not to check for a year and don't come back, so that I won't be upset when I see him again!
"Huh? Wechen...... Wechen takes the order! That ...... Please also ask Your Majesty to instruct, where should Weichen start to investigate?" Bi Shuqing, the imperial envoy of the capital, hurriedly stood up, looked a little panicked, and asked cautiously.
He was wandering in the world just now, and he didn't expect this unlucky errand to suddenly fall on his head, and he couldn't help but secretly cry bitter in his heart.
The main responsibility of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is to supervise hundreds of officials, recommend impeachment, etc., which represent His Majesty's eyes in peacetime, and at the critical moment, it is His Majesty's knife, pointing and cutting. But this time, before he understood His Majesty's intentions, this knife could not be easily used.
Officialdom is like a battlefield, one wrong step will lose everything. Bi Shuqing will not be like Pang Xianghan, who only hears the literal meaning of His Majesty and thinks that His Majesty is on his side!
