Chapter XXIII: Criminal Division IV
Li Wei has been named the governor of Liangjiang for more than ten years, and he has been operating for personal interests for nearly ten years, and he wanted to use Cao Jiuying to do something, but he never expected this thing to be able to do things without knowing what to do, and he also bit back at a critical moment.
If he is left alive, I am afraid that the water will not be good for him in the future, and he will pay for peace without doing anything. He used a huge fortune to find Liu Moti to do it for Cao Jiuying, as long as Cao Jiuying died, his secret would not be known.
Li Wei's eyes flashed left and right, looking at this group of ministers wearing red tops, which of them could see the deepest secret in Lao Tzu's heart, who could have thought at this moment, what the governor was thinking about, even Hongli could not spy on it.
It is not a good sign that Harxun was arrested, because there is Liu Moti behind the Harxun incident, and he can't sit still after all, and if he can't get the East Window incident one day, I'm afraid he won't even have a chance to turn over.
Harxun was brought to court, Chen Hongye gradually questioned the process of the case, and the guards of the Governor's Mansion also went to the court to identify the whole process of Harxun's murder of Cao Jiuying in the restaurant.
Li Wei touched the scene on the side, remembered the first day of being an official, and was determined to be a good official for the Qing Dynasty, thrifty, self-disciplined, and honest for the benefit of the people. The next year, the old emperor died, and the new emperor ascended the throne, Li Wei's future began. Li Wei was still the first time to enter Beijing, and the first time he met with the cabinet scholar Zhang Daxue, but that day he was carrying confused money in his arms, and he couldn't erase it in his heart.
After getting the approval issued by the cabinet, he easily became the governor. At that time, many officials returned to Beijing from other places, and all of them offered lavish gifts and gifts, hoping that they would be sent to the south to become officials. There is a rule in the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, being an official does not go to the north and south to be an official, when you really see the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River, you will understand at that moment, and the colloquial language is a few cars of silver for a few years.
A few years later, the earlier governor of Liangjiang was dismissed because of his greed for ink, and this time he was fortunate to be named as the governor. Li Wei's officials were as bold as they were, and after a few years as governor, the family had countless amounts of money, and countless real estate and land deeds, and later came to the time of Emperor Qianlong, and was promoted to cabinet minister.
Three years ago, the Jingxi River Bureau, as well as the contractor Xinglong Chamber of Commerce, and a group of people offended Li Wei's brother-in-law, who was bent on revenge against the other party, and the only way to find Li Wei was to vent his bad anger.
At the same time, Cao Jiuying, the governor of Zhili, tried every possible way to tie up with Li Wei, and sent beautiful women and silver only for the high-ranking official Houlu, Li Wei took this opportunity to instruct Cao Jiuying, and under the pretext of rectifying the River Affairs Bureau, he made the number one shareholder of the Xinglong Chamber of Commerce by the way.
This Cao Jiuying did something vicious and abnormal, not only killed the river clerk, but also collapsed the Xinglong Chamber of Commerce, it seems that Cao Jiuying did not make a lot of money, and he was not promoted and raised by Li Wei.
At this time, Chen Hongye was asking Harxun about Liu Moti's affairs in Jiangnan, and Harxun took the documents of Jiangnan Province from his body and handed them to Chen Hongye.
"Humble position, please Chen Shangshu to be clear"
"I definitely didn't kill Cao Jiuying"
Chen Hongye ignored him, just opened the official document and read it to several adults around him, and the general yamen Jiang of Jiangnan Province was self-proclaimed, and issued a document to the residents of Jiangnan Province.
The human trafficker code name Liu Moti, wolf-hearted dog-lunged, committed three massacres in a year, killed hundreds of people and injured more than 1,000 people, and sent the deacon Harxun to pursue the murderer within the province.
Harxun swore to die, and knew in his heart the identities of the ministers who were now in the lobby of the Criminal Department, so it was better to desperately shout injustice and give it a go, shouting in his mouth that Master Fu must enforce the law impartially and not wrongfully punish the lower officials.
Fu Heng stretched out his hand to stop Harxun from shouting, there are a few words to explain to everyone, this official has come to the Criminal Department to do things, no matter what the final result of this case is, he will return to the emperor one by one later, so please rest assured that Lord Ha and everyone present will not bend the law for personal gain.
The emperor has repeatedly stated that he will not favor anyone, and will not tolerate anyone who flouts the laws of the Qing Dynasty, whether it is a governor, a governor or a scholar.
Impartial law enforcement is the purpose of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, no favoritism and no fraud is the law of this dynasty, and the advice of this official warns everyone to abide by their duties, if anyone wants to defy the law, the court will give severe punishment.
Chen Hongye was about to ask Fu Heng, and how to proceed later, after all, he is the person the emperor relies on the most, and he is the most powerful to speak here.
"Excuse me, Scholar Fu"
"What should we do next?"
Fu Heng secretly wondered, this criminal department is cunning and cunning, see what this means, you mean that you are deliberately trying to test me.
Chen Shangshu has been handling cases for many years, and he has long been familiar with handling cases, and he doesn't need to ask the official, if you really want to hear me say a few words, you might as well talk about your own ideas first.
"Leave the church for the time being"
"Waiting for autopsy results"
Fu Heng readily agreed to his plan, instead of wasting time here, it is better to put it aside for a while, everyone just waits for the results to come out, and the truth of the case will naturally be revealed.
Fu Heng turned his head and asked Li Wei, Wei Jiyi, and the two adults what they thought was okay.
