Volume 1 Morning and Twilight Chapter 160 The important ministers came to the strict trial of the case
But...... It seems that after finding a few people from Steward Zhang, Wen Yuan didn't make any moves.
Zhang Qiao'er was puzzled, and found Wen Yuan and asked her why she didn't do it yet.
"I naturally have my own plan, you don't care, just know that I will never let go of these evildoers."
Especially this father and son, who have done so much evil, can still get away with it in this world, Wen Yuan will never allow such a thing to happen.
This is a full month.
But the news from the capital was exactly what Wen Yuan wanted, and sure enough, the imperial uncle still attached great importance to this matter, and the letter he sent to Shen Huaiyan played a key role.
"Miss, now that the capital has begun to thoroughly investigate the things of officials protecting each other and accepting bribes, the emperor has come down with a thunderous momentum, but let those officials blow up the pot, we can do it." Wen Yuan was looking at the flowers in the yard at this time, and the sound of the falcon alarmed the birds on the branches, and the corrupt officials were just like this bird, just busy scattering and fleeing.
Wen Yuan looked at the fish swimming in the pond comfortably, and only after throwing a handful of bait into it did he speak leisurely, "Don't worry, it's just the capital now, after a while, those officials from the capital who specialize in investigating corrupt officials will come here, and when the adults in the nearby state capitals are busy, let's do it again, and ...... then."
On the one hand, there are high-ranking officials in the capital who strictly investigate corruption, and on the other hand, there is Princess Shenyang who has evidence and witnesses, so how should the Liang father and son deal with it.
I am afraid that when the time comes, the heavens will not be called, and the earth will not be spiritual, and we will see who can keep them.
As Wen Yuan expected, only half a month later, the officials sent by the capital came to Qingfeng and Feihua City, and in addition to them, there were naturally responsible officials in other places.
It's just that with Wen Yuan's letter, the emperor took special care of Qingfeng City and sent two ministers to supervise it.
This made Liang Junshou's life expectancy ten years less, "A few adults, is there any big movement in this capital, how did you find out that we are in such a remote place?" ”
Lord Du looked at the account book of Qingfeng City's taxes without raising his eyelids, "Yes, didn't the Holy Lord visit the people privately a few days ago?" A lot of problems have been discovered, so let's strictly investigate corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so that no one is left behind. ”
So ruthless? Liang Junshou kept wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeves, for fear that these adults would find out something wrong and lose their official hats.
"Your taxes in this place are not low, no wonder even the official residence is built so luxuriously." Lord Du raised his eyes and glanced at the place where he was, he was really generous, but he was afraid that even the official residence of the capital city would not be able to do such a grand style.
What does this mean? Liang Junshou frowned imperceptibly, "No, no, the lower officials think that this official residence is a place to serve the people, and it can be regarded as our face, so it's not too shabby." ”
"Huh." The adults around actually sneered at the same time.
Liang Junshou was scared out of a cold sweat, he didn't understand why the Holy Lord suddenly sent so many officials to Qingfeng City, but he vaguely felt that this time the matter was directed at him.
That night, Liang Junshou wrote a secret letter and handed it to his secret guard, but soon the secret letter was returned untouched, "Master, Lord Feng said that he himself is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and he can't protect himself, so he has no time to deal with the master's affairs...... I inquired, and it seems that the officials who have a relationship with you, sir, have been investigated. ”
How so...... The man paced back and forth in the room, and when he thought of Flying Flower City, he immediately asked, "What about Wen Yuan?" Can someone go to Flying Flower City to check? ”
"No, how could someone from Princess Sunyang's side go to investigate, even if there is, it's just for show." After all, it was Wenyuan's territory, and she reported to the emperor alone every year, and no one knew what her Flying Flower City was, only that the emperor had always praised her for her good governance, and there was no fault at all.
Liang Junshou thought this was Wen Yuan's trick at first, but now it seems that she doesn't seem to have that much power to mobilize so many officials to come out and investigate the case.
Just when he was at his most anxious, Wen Yuan came to the yamen with the witnesses he had found.
"Liang Junshou, what I want to sue today is Liang Junshou's son, Liang Chao."
The man glared and roared, "What are you talking about?!"
At this time, Lord Du from the capital also came to the public court, and they sat below as the hearing for this hearing, "Liang Junshou, this Liang Chao is your only son, I really want to hear what Duke Shenyang will sue him, and he will not be promoted to the court?" ”
With Lord Du under pressure, Liang Junshou had to be promoted to the court to try the case.
"I want to sue Liang Chao, rape a woman to death and then abandon the body, the means are cruel and the circumstances are bad, the floating corpse case by the river a few days ago was committed by Liang Chao!"
Wen Yuan's words were heart-wrenching, and Liang Junshou's hand had already clenched into a fist in a place that no one could see, "Take people!" With beam ultra! ”
When the official brought Liang Chao up, the man flatly denied what he had done, "My lord, this is clearly Wen Yuan's malicious frame!" ”
"Heh, Liang Chao, do you dare to say that you have never done these things, if you lie, there is no corpse, do you dare to say it?" Wen Yuan pressed forward step by step, and Liang Junshou had to maintain order in the court.
He couldn't favor his son in front of these people sent by the imperial court, but since Wen Yuan sued, it means that she is fully prepared......
What to do, what to do......
Master Du couldn't wait, and urged Liang Junshou, "What are you stunned, try the case." ”
Liang Junshou reacted at this time, patted the table and asked Wen Yuan, "Do you have any evidence?"
"Naturally, otherwise I wouldn't be here today." Wen Yuan turned sideways and glanced at the falcon not far away.
The man immediately brought up the man who was rescued by the owl that day, "Liang Chao, Liang Junshou, do you know this man?" ”
As soon as they saw the man's face, the father and son gasped at the same time, "How could the official know him, could it be that this is the witness you said Princess Sunyang?" ”
"Liang Junshou! How can you say you don't know me?! I've done a lot for you, but I didn't expect you to get rid of me! As soon as he heard Liang Junshou say that he didn't know himself, the man's reason exploded instantly, "Four months ago, you gave me fifty taels of gold and asked me to dispose of those two female corpses, have you forgotten?" I still have thirty taels to hide under the stove at home, how can you say you don't know me?! ”
Hearing his words, Lord Du and the others all looked at Liang Junshou, "Could it be that the matter that the Duke of Sunyang wants to sue today, and it has something to do with Liang Junshou?" ”
The people in the high position were so nervous that their palms were sweating, and Wen Yuan took the adult's words, "Lord Du is wise, Wen Yuan wants to sue today, and this Liang County Shou, I want to sue him for shielding his son, not only did he not do what a magistrate should do, but even turned a blind eye to the lives of the people." ”
As for the corruption and bribery he set up in the name of corruption, Wen Yuan didn't bother to say it, she had no evidence, so she was waiting for Lord Du and them to verify, "So Wen Yuan thinks that Liang Junshou is not suitable to try this case, and I implore Lord Du to take a seat and avenge the grievances of those women who died in vain!" ”
As soon as Wen Yuan finished saying this, a thunderous cheer broke out in the court, "Okay! Let's support Princess Sunyang! Let this father and son pay for their blood debts! ”
Master Du naturally sat on the main seat according to her words, "Okay, then the official will officially try this case today, Wen Yuan, you sued the Liang father and son, but this evidence is not enough, do you have any other evidence?" ”
"Naturally. Go and bring our important witnesses with us. ”
After a while, Steward Zhang was taken to the court, and the father and son were so frightened when they saw him that their legs were weak and they couldn't kneel steadily.
"Yo, what's going on? It seems that he is an important person, and when he sees him, he is scared and his legs go limp. Master Du joked about the father and son.
Steward Zhang knelt on the ground and saluted the adults present, "The grass people's name is Zhang San, he is the housekeeper of the county guard's mansion, and he has been following Liang County for 20 years, and all his crimes, the grass people are clear. ”
"Oh? Then you start at the beginning. ”
Let's start at the beginning...... This can make it difficult for Zhang San, this has to start early, but Steward Zhang still said honestly: "Liang Junshou was indeed a good official for the sake of the people at the beginning, but later his power gradually increased, and he also changed some of his state of mind, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as greedy and bent the law, and the most terrible thing is that after he had his only son Liang Chao, that kind of unrepeatable spoiling made this child go on the wrong path."
"Liang Chao's favorite is all kinds of beauties, he often goes in and out of the land of Goolan Washe, and brings back one or two or even three or four Qinglou women to sing songs every night on weekdays, and then these women can't satisfy his desires, so he began to rob the people's daughters, as long as there is a little bit of beauty in this Qingfeng City, he has forced them back to the county guard mansion for him to play."
Steward Zhang glanced meaningfully at Liang Junshou beside him at this time and then continued to add, "At first, Liang Junshou would stop it, until one time later, Liang Chao dedicated two unbelievably beautiful women to him, and he no longer pretended to be invisible. And this Liang Chao's treatment of women can be described as cruel, pinching, beating, and pumping are all light, and he will use a whip soaked in salt water to beat those women's bodies, just to listen to their cries for mercy. Not to mention forcing those girls to eat red-hot charcoal......"
Wen Yuan frowned when he heard this, he didn't expect this Liang Chao to be so perverted that he would abuse those women in such cruel ways.
"The two female corpses by the river a few days ago were done by Liang Chao, he imprisoned and tortured the two women by cruel means, and after the people were tortured, Liang Junshou ordered his people to dispose of them, and he was one of the people in charge, there were three people who threw the corpses, two of them have been killed by the secret guards of Liang Junshou, it is this kid's life that is good, and he was saved by the secret guards of Princess Sunyang, which is what happened today."
