Chapter 422: Fried Rice Balls (5)
Although Wen Mingtang said that he was happy, Lin Fei knew that if he was not eighty percent sure, she would not talk to him about this at all.
A concubine of the former emperor, the current concubine, became pregnant after the first emperor had died for a year, and at the same time, she once intended to poison Wen Mingtang, and now the henchman palace maid next to Concubine Jing is also suspected of being pregnant...... Lin Fei squinted his eyes slightly, if he just wanted to pull Concubine Jing down, it was not difficult.
After calming down, Lin Fei nodded at Wen Mingtang, seeing that the guard in the box was looking over here, the two did not continue.
At this moment, the official of the Criminal Department named Zhang Rang walked out of the hall together with Bai Zhu. After leaving the hall, the two walked straight over.
When he walked to Lin Fei, Zhang Rang raised his hand to him and saluted, "Lin Shaoqing." ”
Although he is the same age as the dead Zhao Mengzhuo, Zhang Rang's career is obviously not going well, not to mention that he is two orders lower than Lin Fei.
Lin Fei raised his hand and returned the salute: "Lord Zhang." ”
Because he was not familiar with it, after the polite salute, he began to get down to business.
Zhang Rang said: "This case ...... The Lin family should have made plans early. ”
Although this is euphemistic, it is not too tactful, not only Lin Fei, but even Wen Mingtang on the side also understood the meaning of Zhang Rang's words: Yasukuni Gong is extremely suspicious.
"The time when he entered and exited the hall, the grandfather of the country had already recognized it, and before the incident, he had a dispute with Lord Chang, and today he faced the saint, His Majesty only summoned the grandfather of the country, but the grandfather of the country specially brought Lord Chang...... According to Grandpa Guo, it was Lord Chang who did something wrong, so he brought Lord Chang and wanted to ask His Majesty to send it. Zhang Rang said.
As for what was wrong...... Zhang Rang looked at Lin Fei: "Grandpa Guo said that it was for Lord Zhao's matter, and he wanted Lord Chang to reveal the truth in front of His Majesty." ”
It is an indisputable fact that Zhao Mengzhuo fell from the Star Tower, and the Yasukuni Gong naturally knew that no matter how stupid he was, the people who fell from the Star Tower, and the people who were present were still Chang Shi and others.
When Lin Fei heard this, he asked Zhang Rang: "What is the truth that grandfather wants Master Chang to reveal?" Lord Zhao's Death ...... What's really going on? Was it murder or accident? ”
Zhang Rang glanced at him and said, "Grandpa Guo said that he didn't know the specific reason, but Lord Zhao's death may have been indirectly caused by Lord Chang and them, so he simply brought Lord Chang into the palace and wanted Lord Chang to present the truth in front of His Majesty." Speaking of this, Zhang Rang couldn't help but say, "Lin Shaoqing, with all due respect to Zhang, this statement is really a bit far-fetched. However, although it is far-fetched, one case is one case, and the case of Lord Zhao falling from the building will not be mentioned for the time being. On the case of Chang Daren's death alone, Grandpa Guo and Chang Da had a disagreement, and today he has to let Chang Da show his own reasons, the relationship between the two is bound to be not harmonious, and Chang Da also has a lot of complaints about Grandpa Guo. If the two of them quarrel because of this, or even make a move, it is not impossible. ”
Naturally, there was nothing wrong with this statement, Lin Fei nodded and said, "What Lord Zhang said is indeed true. ”
Seeing Lin Fei nodded, Zhang Rang said again: "So, Grandpa Guo has a motive, or if Master Chang wants to kill Grandpa Guo, it is possible for Grandpa Guo to do it for self-protection." ”
Lin Fei nodded again, and waited for Zhang Rang to continue, although he was an official of the Criminal Department, he was also from Dali Temple in the end, and Zhang Rang's ability to investigate the case was naturally good.
"Besides," Zhang Rang paused and looked at Lin Fei, "I heard that a few adults have been out of the city for two days and have not returned?" As far as Zhang knew, those adults had gone out of the city with the people in the house before going out of the city, and they were invited by the grandfather of the country to go out of the city to do things. Those adults are not bystanders, they are the suspicious ones in the case of Lord Zhao's fall from the building. Yesterday, I heard that because these adults had not returned for a long time, Chang Daren, who had not left the city together, went to the Guogong Mansion to find the Guogong Mansion. I don't know the content of the conversation, but it shouldn't be pleasant, and when he came out, Chang Daren also kicked and smashed the stone lion in front of the Guogong Mansion, and there are many witnesses to this matter. Can Lin Shaoqing know this? ”
He knew that. Lin Fei nodded, looked at Zhang Rang and said, "What Lord Zhang said is good. ”
When the news of my grandfather came out of the palace, they immediately entered the palace without delay. Before Zhang Rang entered the palace, the people of the palace should have already revealed some inside information to him, and Zhang Rang deliberately went to the Tongchang and other people's mansions near the Guogong Mansion, otherwise, he would not have been so fully prepared.
Lin Fei looked at Zhang Rang's serious expression and his gray hair on his temples. He was the same age as Zhao Mengzhuo, but Zhao Mengzhuo's temples were not mottled until he died. The career is not smooth, and the talent cannot be displayed, and he is depressed. For Zhang Rang, now ...... It's a great opportunity to prove yourself.
Lin Fei sighed in his heart: Grandfather's case is afraid that it will be difficult to meet Zhang Rang this time.
Seeing Lin Fei nodding, Zhang Rang said again: "Now that Lord Chang is dead again, and Lord Chang and others are seriously suspected in the case of Lord Zhao, with all due respect to Zhang's bluntness, Grandpa Guo...... Not only is there a suspicion of the death of Lord Chang, but in the case of Lord Zhao, although Grandpa Guo himself is not suspected of directly doing it, it may not be impossible for him to be an insider...... Or maybe even the mastermind behind it. ”
As soon as these words came out, Bai Zhu on the side immediately interrupted him: "Lord Zhang, the officials do not approve of this statement, and it is true that Grandpa Guo is suspected of being serious in this case, but how can he still be implicated in the case of Lord Zhao?" He said, although he was not as good as Zhang Rang in terms of rank and experience, but in the face of Zhang Rang at this time, Bai Zhu did not flinch, "Forgive your official bluntness, is Lord Zhang a little too eager to convict Grandpa Guo?" Those of us who investigate the case should abide by the way of justice, and Mr. Zhang's words are suspicious of indiscriminate suspicion! ”
In this regard, Zhang Rang only lifted his eyelids and said lightly: "If Zhang is suspected of finding Grandpa Guo guilty, wouldn't Baisi Cheng also be suspected of finding Grandpa Guo innocent?" After reprimanding Zhang for not abiding by the way of justice, did Bai Sicheng himself abide by it? ”
Bai Zhudao: "The investigator must not falsely accuse a good person, once convicted, it is a matter of human life, and the stakes are very high. ”
Zhang Rang glanced at Lin Fei on the side, and raised his eyebrows: "The person involved in this case, Grandpa Guo, is your grandfather on the peak of Lin Fei, if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have avoided suspicion." The officials of your Dali Temple are all working under him, and they are loyal, so what is the wonder of subconsciously excusing them when handling cases? ”
Although Bai Zhu doesn't talk as much as Liu Yuan in the past day, he has more confidence than Liu Yuan to refute the other party, after all, he has no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and he doesn't care much about that little bit of money. Therefore, at this time, facing Zhang Rang, whose official rank was higher than him, immediately sneered and said: "You accuse us of exculpating the grandfather of the country, and the officials are not talented, but you want to say that Lord Zhang is so eager to convict the grandfather of the country, doesn't he mean to use the grandfather of the country as a stepping stone for his career?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Rang's face changed suddenly, he glanced at Lin Fei, who was silent on the side, flicked his sleeves violently, and the initial politeness was gone, and turned into a sneer: "Stepping stone? If he did evil, what if he used it as a stepping stone? ”
This is not polite, Lin Fei's eyes turned cold, and he looked at Zhang Rang, who sneered in front of him and said that he wanted to use Yasukuni Gong as a stepping stone.
"Zhao Mengzhuo fell from the building in front of everyone's eyes," Zhang Rang said, "Chang Shi and the others are seriously suspicious, and Grandpa Guo has always been good friends with them, and now the whereabouts of the rest of the people are unknown, and Chang Shi is dead." There is only one grandfather alive and here now. Although your Dali Temple did not take those people into prison, you can go to the city and take a look, and see who doesn't say that Zhao Mengzhuo died at the hands of these people? Isn't it unreasonable for Grandpa Guo to kill people in order to protect himself? Does Zhang have no reason to suspect that Grandpa Guo is the mastermind of this case? ”
Not to mention the side, Bai Zhu knows the inside story of Zhao Mengzhuo's fall from the building. At this time, when Zhang Rang said this, he immediately said: "The investigation is about evidence, not the rumors of the people in the city. The truth of Lord Zhao's death has not yet been determined, and Lord Zhang is too arbitrary! ”
The sneer on Zhang Rang's face was still the same: "Arbitrary? He sneered, "In full view of everyone, how many people saw Zhao Mengzhuo being pushed downstairs by Chang Shi and others?" What else is there to check about this? Speaking of this, he turned his head suddenly, and looked at Wen Mingtang, who was quiet on the side as if he didn't exist: "Your surname is Wen?" But is it Wen Xuance's daughter? ”
Wen Mingtang, who was suddenly pointed, looked at Zhang Rang who looked at him, and the corner of his eyes glanced at Bai Zhutong and Lin Fei, and was about to nod, Zhang Rang said: "This official asked you, what do you think they do?" Is it the grace of this year's reception in Dali Temple that makes you forget your father's hatred? Are you Wen Xuance's daughter, and you still have to look at the faces of the two of them to admit yes or no? ”
As soon as the words "father's enmity" came out, Wen Mingtang knew that it was not good, and the latter sentence directly put her on the fire, so he hurriedly said: "The adults misunderstood, the little girl is indeed the daughter of Wen Xuance, but I have never seen several adults quarrel like this, and I was a little apprehensive for a while!" ”
When Zhang Rang heard this, his cold face softened slightly, and he looked at her and reprimanded: "Since you are the daughter of Wen Xuance, why are you the spirit of a small family, shrinking aside and worrying about what kind of system?" No one can teach it? ”
Wen Mingtang also came back to his senses at this time, and replied calmly when he heard the words: "The little girl entered the court at the age of eight. "The implication is really untaught, is there anything strange about the little family's anger?
Zhang Rang, who had been reprimanding people since he opened his mouth, was choked by Wen Mingtang's words, paused, and said: "If Wen Xuance hadn't had an accident, you would have been the daughter of the Wen family, how could you be like this?" And thank him for the grace of Dali Temple? As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Fei on the side, and said, "Wen Xuance's case back then, the rhetoric was the most intense, and it was the Yasukuni Gong who wanted to punish Wen Xuance heavily, have you forgotten?" ”
Wen Mingtang recalled the memories of the original owner, bowed his head and said: "I have been raised in the backyard, I don't know anything about the things in front of me, and I was still telling my mother the night before that I wanted to eat bean paste balls." ”
Zhang Rang: "......"
Looking at Wen Mingtang, who was raised in the backyard, he frowned and said, "That's it, you just need to know that it was the Yasukuni Gong who took the lead in the book back then!" ”
Wen Mingtang nodded, said "I know", then looked at Zhang Rang and clenched his fists: "My lord, the little girl can save it." My father's death is to blame for the Duke of Yasukuni, if it weren't for him, maybe he would have escaped death, and the hatred of killing his father and destroying his family is not shared, and the little girl will definitely ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Rang: "What nonsense are you talking about?" As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Zhutong Lin Fei, who was close at hand, and the guards and palace guards who were looking at this side not far away.
In Wen Xuance's case, under the circumstances at that time, the Yasukuni Gong Mo could not say that he could not read, even if it was useless to plead for mercy, he would die.
He originally wanted to remind this Wen Xuance's daughter, after all, she was also one of the witnesses to the Chang Shi case. Who knew that this Wen Xuance had given birth to such a stupid daughter, not to mention that he was a little childish, so he said, "My father's death is all to blame for the Duke of Yasukuni", how could he say it in front of so many people, and when the grandson of the Duke of Yasukuni was present? I didn't have to implicate him in the name of "inciting hatred", so that the testimony of her witnesses would be nullified, and the case would be difficult to handle at that time.
