Chapter 45: Extortion, Private Treasury
Old Emperor: "...... What do you mean? ”
This is accusing her of favoritism towards the Wu family, right? Right, yes?
Di Ying lifted her eyelids, glanced at the old emperor, lowered her eyes again, and muttered: "Weichen doesn't dare." ”
"No, no, but don't dare, heh."
The old emperor replied to Di Ying, and then the expression on his face became subtle.
She picked up the teacup that the little eunuch had just brought her, picked up the lid of the cup, and blew the foam on it.
Then he said slowly: "You Di Ying, I know something."
When Yan Qing recommended you, he praised you for your high wisdom and determination, and full of righteousness. I also reviewed the case files you handled when you were in office when you merged with the state, and I also reviewed them after you made a big fuss about merging the state.
Indeed, in the process of handling the case, you have shown enough wisdom, strategy and courage. You keep the law, but you don't stick to the law, you give the law a temperature.
It's either cold or warm. In short, it should be handled flexibly and cautiously enough, so that the sufferer can be steadfast and the sins will be punished.
So, before I saw you, I had a good impression of you.
But are you too flexible?
Do you think that you, a person who is good at reasoning and solving cases, will taste those poisonous weeds without being prepared for it?
Do you remember when you met Lord Yan, you personally admitted that you were proficient in medical science?
It's okay if you don't remember, now I'll tell you: Lord Yan has recorded this in the file.
Because: that is the root cause of your self-justification.
And you're ...... now
You keep saying the evidence. Yes, evidence is needed to handle a case, so how can you not leave any evidence before tasting poisonous weeds?
Let's talk about it, what are you making this fuss for? ”
When Di Ying heard this, she immediately swept away her weakness and sat up straight.
replied seriously and seriously: "For Your Majesty." Wechen learned from a case that a certain batch of rouge gouache was poisonous.
But Wechen suffers from the lack of evidence. While he was pondering, Lord Zuo Shilang reported to you: said that he was lost in the other courtyard.
Wechen took the opportunity to inspect his flower room.
Luckily, I found that poisonous weed. But what if Weichen pulls out the grass, what should I do if Lord Zuo Shilang doesn't admit it afterwards?
His Majesty was wise and brave, and guessed that Weichen had brought a witness, which was Lord Jingzhao Yin Song Wen Song. After Wechen fell, he should have been left guarded there. ”
Saying that, Di Ying stood up, bowed deeply to the old emperor, and then said: "Your Majesty's safety is the safety of the world, even if it is something smeared on his face, Weichen has to be extremely cautious, so he made this decision......
"Okay, everyone who sees the sky is surrounded by people who are patting on the back of me, and there is no shortage of you Di Ying."
The old emperor put down the teacup, interrupted him with some tears and laughter, and reminded him again: "If you don't explain the root cause clearly, I won't care." ”
Di Ying: "...... You're so smart, is it really good? ”
Old Emperor: "Do you want to talk about it?" ”
"Say!"
Di Ying wiped his face and said very simply: "At the beginning of Weichen's tenure, he discovered this rouge poisoning case. The only daughter of the bitter owner was disfigured, and she was angry, and demanded that the shopkeeper pay 10,000 taels of silver.
The shopkeeper refused, but sued the bitter owner for extortion, so that the bitter owner was imprisoned, and it has been three years since then, and the bitter master's sentence has been increased to 20 years because he was not convinced and repeatedly sued.
In the past three years, his wife ran away with her money, and the family's livelihood stopped, and the trembling old housekeeper sold his family wealth and went around to save the Lord.
It's a pity that they were all lost. Everyone thinks that it is just a ruin of a face, and they want others to pay so much silver, which is unreasonable, and it is the bitter master who is making trouble unreasonably.
But what Weichen thinks is: How important is appearance to a woman? What's more, it's still a boudoir daughter's house? What's more, people are not short of money, they want 10,000 taels, just to get angry.
Your Majesty, you haven't seen that girl, and in the past three years, she has only lived more than the dead.
But the punishment in this case is a bit reasonable from the perspective of extortion.
It's just that Weichen feels that this case can't be simply looked at from the perspective of the law. That's too blunt.
But Weichen couldn't release him, because after the incident passed, all the physical evidence was destroyed.
So Wechen went to find the daughter of the bitter lord, and from her ...... Among the toxins remaining on his face, he was able to identify the poison of a rare poisonous weed.
And that poisonous weed, if it grows within the metropolitan area, can only survive in the southern suburbs. ”
"I see what you mean."
The old emperor looked solemn and said, "The bitter master sued the shopkeeper and failed, but was told by the shopkeeper to extort. If the bitter master is in prison, the rouge poison case will be closed. The focus of the case shifted to the 10,000 taels of silver.
The bitter lord complained again and again, and the officials who took over only stared at the four words of extortion, ignoring that all this was caused by the rough production of the store.
Because there's no evidence, right? Therefore, even if those officials received benefits in it, or whatever, they can be deduced by checking that there is no evidence.
And you...... You put yourself at risk, taste the poisonous weeds, and make this case bigger, so that I can see it. ”
Speaking of this, the old emperor stood up, paced in the main hall, and said with a wry smile: "Now that you have all the human and physical evidence, Di Ying, you are forcing me to deal with Wu Jianhui." ”
Di Ying was silent.
At this time, Grandpa Su came in at the right time.
When he came in, he replied: "Your Majesty, the rouge gouache in your private library in recent years has been personally examined by the Tai Hospital.
Except for a few that have deteriorated over time, no other problems have been found. But......
Because the ones presented each year and each month were stored separately, the hospital found that the batch of Rouge in May three years ago had been replaced.
Although the rouge and gouache have deteriorated at present, the academy is inspecting that the batch of rouge is significantly lower than the date when the gouache was made.
The old slave clearly remembered: the monthly rouge and gouache were clearly sent to the palace at the same time. ”
"Humph!"
When the old emperor heard the news, he snorted heavily.
"My hands are stretched out so long that they all go into my private vault! Check, check all the private vaults for me to see what is missing inside?! ”
After speaking, the old emperor turned his back to Di Ying again, waved his hand and said, "Di Ying, you go down." I don't want to see you now. The result you want, I ...... Will give it to you. ”
"Wechen retired."
Di Ying happily agreed, raised his leg and left.
Before leaving, he quietly hugged his fist at Father-in-law Su.
Father-in-law Su only lowered his head, pretending not to see it, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
