Chapter 47: Questioning the case
Ning Shuo came to Buyu's mansion for many days, and found that Buyuchuan was still the old man who had no wife and no children, and lived alone in poverty. He was not good at business, there was no supply of shops, and there was no harvest from the grange, and the only silver was returned to the charity hall in half, so he could only eat meat once a few days.
I like to drink tea. On the day of eating meat, I wanted to drink a cup of Pu'er, holding the teacup and laughing, "Big meat with Pu'er, melon seeds with oolong, I don't love melon seeds, I only love meat, so I can only drink Pu'er." ”
His silver can only buy a few taels of pu'er to drink for a year, and if he buys pu'er, he can't afford oolong tea, so he can only choose one of the two.
Ning Shuo heard this, felt familiar, and after a little thought, he could remember that his father had said to him when he was a child, "Although the old man of Buyu likes to drink tea, he can't actually drink any difference, and any tea in his mouth is a general taste, but because of this, he deliberately chose a more expensive Pu'er to drink, thinking that the more expensive tea must taste good, even if he can't taste it, he thinks that this is an excellent taste, and it is also good." ”
This is the only time in this old man's life that he has chosen "luxury".
"He often said that big meat with Pu'er is his favorite thing, in his life, no desire is rigid, if you really want to talk about desire, there is only this bit of appetite left."
My father sighed, "There is only one person in this world who can make me admire so much." ”
He said to Ning Shuo: "You have to learn from Lord Buyuchuan, as long as you have no desires, you will be able to be honest and self-controlled." ”
Ning Shuo felt that he couldn't do it in this life. He wants to help the crown prince, wants to rely on himself to get to the position of his father, wants to be a marquis and worship the prime minister, and wants to leave a name in history...... He has too many desires, where can he be rigid without desires?
He asked curiously, "Has my father ever done it?" ”
My father laughed, "I can't either." ”
Everyone has selfish desires, and they can't do it when they are idle, so Buyuchuan became a sage.
Now, he sat in the room of the sage of the day, took the case file, and asked him respectfully, "Sir, I recently saw a case file that you handled, and I want to ask you." ”
Ning Shuo has been looking at Muzhou's case file recently, and Buyuchuan also knows about it. When I heard him say that he handled it himself, his face froze.
Because he handled only one Muzhou case file.
He took a sip of the teacup, and after a long silence, he asked, "Is it the Muzhou Suijia case?" ”
Ning Shuo nodded, "Yes." ”
He asked with a look of listening attentively, "In this case, I have a few problems that are still unclear, and I don't know if Mr. can solve my doubts." ”
Bu Yuchuan glanced at him, hesitated for a while, and finally asked, "There are so many case files, why do you want to pick the Suijia?" ”
Ning Shuo was serious, "This is a big case...... Besides, even though I was still young, I knew and admired Lord Sui Boying, and I was shocked for a long time after hearing that he was corrupt. Now that I have the opportunity to take a look at the case files of that year, and there is a gentleman here, I naturally want to hear it. ”
Buyuchuan didn't doubt his intentions. The Sui family and the Ning family have never had any friendship, and the age difference between Sui Mingting and Ning Shuo is also big, so they shouldn't have said a few words, and it is really impossible to say that they deliberately used this matter to get something. And back then, Sui Boying and Sui Mingting were extremely popular ministers, honest and honest, a freshly dressed and angry horse, and a gentleman like a pine, which can indeed be admired and remembered by a young man like Ning Shuo.
He sighed, "Follow the case of Boying at home...... Your Majesty is not allowed to talk about the events of the past, and I tell you, if you are drunk and speak out one day, you will also cause trouble. But the case of accepting bribes with the second room of the family was indeed handled by me, and there is nothing to say, I will tell you, and it will be fine. ”
Ning Shuo found that whether it was Buyuchuan or the court of the Criminal Department, they had separated the case of the second uncle's bribery and his father's embezzlement.
He asked curiously, "Why is this so?" Aren't the bribery cases in the second room of Suijia and the embezzlement case of Suiboying all cases of Suijia? And it was the first time you sued together. ”
His words made Buyuchuan lose his voice for a moment, and then muttered, "It is indeed my first ...... To this day, there are still many people who say that I am the person of the King of Jin, so I will sue Bo Ying to the Jinluan Treasure Palace. But back then, none of them framed the Suijia, I ...... I have never regretted it. ”
Ning Shuo's fingers slowly tightened, "Is this evidence conclusive?" ”
Buyuchuan nodded without hesitation, "Yes." ”
Ning Shuo was annoyed in his heart, and found that even though many years had passed, he still couldn't let go of the words "conclusive evidence" in Buyuchuan's mouth.
He chuckled softly to relieve the suffocation in his heart, and then asked, "In that case, why do you want to separate the two cases?" ”
Buyuchuan: "It's the meaning of the crown princess." ”
Ning Shuo raised his head, "What?" ”
Bu Yuchuan sighed, "Sui Boying is the prince's concubine, the princess has been married to the prince since she was a child, and she is also familiar with her family, she ...... I thought that Sui Boying might not be guilty, so I came to beg me overnight and asked me to separate the case files of Sui Boying and the second room of the Sui family. ”
In this way, even if the case can be overturned in the future, even if the second room of the Sui family is really corrupt, it will not involve Sui Boying.
Ning Shuo never thought that there was such a truth behind it. He looked at Buyuchuan, "Why did Mr. agree?" Didn't you say that the evidence was conclusive? ”
Bu Yuchuan said solemnly: "At that time, the evidence was conclusive, and I only wrote the book, and His Majesty checked it, and then it was decided." But there are so many people in the world, who can believe that I really found the evidence before I went to the book? The crown princess didn't believe it, so she let her wish. I know that there are many people in the world who are like her, so she said separate, let's separate. ”
Ning Shuo's eyes were hot when he heard it, and he was touched by what the crown princess did and Bu Yuchuan's sentence "There are still many people in the world like her", so he couldn't help lowering his head and taking a deep breath, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked in a trembling voice: "If Mr. is not the person of King Jin and does this...... In case, as the crown princess and others said, this matter is an unjust, false and wrongful case, how should the gentleman deal with himself? ”
When Bu Yuchuan heard this, he was stunned at first, and then said: "If it is really an unjust, false and wrongful case, even if I accompany this life, I will not be able to pay for it." But this should not be an unjust, false and wrongful case, and he also confessed to it when he was in prison with Boying. ”
Then his voice was a little hurrier, and he said: "Sui Jia's second room, Sui Boying have all confessed their sins." ”
Ning Shuo chased after him, "The student remembers that the crown prince was angry with His Majesty at that time, and there were rumors in the palace that the prince would be abolished, but after Sui Boying's death, the crown prince was not deposed...... Could it be that Sui Boying admitted the matter for the sake of the prince? ”
Then he continued to purse his lips and speak, "In prison, there have always been heavy punishments, so I can't say that some of these witnesses are also tortured?" ”
When he was in prison, he had a good body, and in just a few days, he was beaten away from decades of life, not to mention other people.
But Buyuchuan shook his head, "No...... At that time, the certified physical evidence was there, and I only went to the book to make a complaint. ”
He asked Ning Shuo, "Do you also think Suijia is innocent?" ”
Ning Shuo didn't nod or shake his head, "Innocent or not, I only look at the evidence." It's just that at this point, I heard that some people questioned the meaning of Mr.'s first complaint, and I couldn't help but think about the possibility of an unjust, false and wrongful case if this matter was wrong. ”
Bu Yuchuan's face was extremely solemn, "In my life, I have handled countless cases and killed countless corrupt officials and corrupt officials, if one of these cases is wrong, I will not be able to give up even if I die." But I can't be afraid to do it because I'm afraid of doing the wrong case. ”
He taught Ning Shuo, "Since you want to follow the path of the Criminal Department, you must clearly know that there are people in this world who have faces like bodhisattvas and hearts like poisonous scorpions, and there are also fierce faces and ruthless but good-hearted, and you must not judge whether the other party is a good person or a bad person because of his reputation, you should mainly rely on the evidence in your hand." ”
Ning Shuo stood up and bent down to salute the student, "Yes, follow Mr. Teaching." ”
Buyuchuan bowed, "If you can do this, I can rest assured." ”
Then he paused and talked about the case file in the second room of the family.
He said: "The name of the second room of the Sui family is Sui Zhongying, he has been doing business in Muzhou, and rarely enters Beijing, everyone says that he is an honest man, but judging from the account books found in the second room of the Sui family, he should have started to be corrupt ten years ago." ”
Then he paused and said, "If I just say that, you can't feel the complexity of this case. I don't think it's as good as this - with Zhongying's case file in the Criminal Department, next time I'll take you to see it, the evidence on it is very complete, and the process is clear. ”
He also said: "It's good to take a look, this is a very typical case of honest people taking bribes, after reading it, you will know that people's hearts are sinister, and you must look at what he does behind his back, not his reputation and face." ”
Ning Shuo grimaced, bowed again, "Yes, students remember." ”
