Chapter XXVI: Criminal Department VII
Cao Jiuying was assassinated, and Chen Hongye, the secretary of the Criminal Department, pointed all the fingers at Harxun according to Li Wei's instructions, and must not let him walk through the Nine Dragons Hall alive, and he must be put to death no matter what.
Chen Hongye stood up at this time and made his opinion clear to the adults, this matter is an errand assigned by the emperor, and there must be a result in the short term, otherwise it will be difficult for the adults and the lower officials to explain to the emperor.
At present, it is basically conclusive that the death of Cao Jiuying, the governor of Zhili, must have been committed by the deacon Harxun. Because at the scene of the crime that night, Jiuxianlou, he relied on a black gold silk dragon whip to whip Cao Jiuying to death and injured nearly 100 soldiers, and interrogated Harxun for the second time tomorrow, so he was not afraid that he would not confess.
Fu Heng is also very clear, judging the cause of Cao Jiuying's death from the autopsy results of the Criminal Department, as well as the testimony of eyewitnesses at the scene, Harxun flogged Cao Jiuying and injured nearly 100 soldiers. Now it is ironclad evidence that there is no escape from the involvement, Harxun was still in the lobby of the criminal department just now, claiming that he had been wronged and wanted to get justice for himself.
Wei Jiyi asked Fu Heng if he could close the case tomorrow.
"As long as the evidence is conclusive"
As long as the case is closed here, we can go back and deal with the emperor, Wei Jiyi is relieved, he didn't expect it to be over so quickly, and he is a little fortunate to have successfully completed this task.
Fu Heng expressed the doubts in his heart, the conclusion of the case this time may not go well, Harxun keeps shouting grievances in the Criminal Department, and I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to the emperor.
Wei Jiyi expressed his opinion, and there are two main factors before the verdict, which are essential. The two points Wei Jiyi said, the first point is that the human evidence must be substantiated, and the second point is that the physical evidence must be complete.
Fu Heng thinks that the evidence of the crime is conclusive, there is no reason why Har Erxun does not confess, torture is Chen Shangshu's forte, we just need to watch it carefully.
Chen Hongye came out again to express his position in public, and the autopsy results and eyewitnesses undoubtedly pointed to Harxun, and he actually shouted the word "wronged" in front of everyone.
The laws of the Qing Dynasty are so strict that a murderer is not allowed to talk nonsense, roar in court, and pretend to avenge grievances, but in fact just want to get away with it and escape the punishment of the law. At that time, as long as the punishment is served on him, I really don't believe it, who can survive the punishment of my criminal department.
Li Wei rushed out to join Chen Hongye, claiming that Chen Shangshu was right to do this, and in the face of extremely vicious criminals, the only way to serve was to be punished.
If we are lenient in everything, will the criminals not be even more unscrupulous, and in the course of time they will become extremely vicious.
Wei Jiyi felt that Li Wei had just said something to his heart, if the villains were extremely vicious, and our leniency would have to be put aside for a while.
Chen Hongye didn't have any worries and directly made it clear, since this is the case, then the next official, tomorrow Harxun will be punished, and the case will be solved in just two days. After the adults returned to the palace, it was easy to talk in front of the emperor, and the lower officials also wanted to point to this matter, and then move up and promote the officials to a higher level.
Li Wei said bluntly in his heart, if Chen Shangshu wants to be promoted to the next level, he must be diligent, do a good job every day with annoyance and resentment, and he will make some gains in less than three years.
What Master Li said is extremely true, and the lower officials should live up to expectations. Chen Hongye doesn't like brocade clothes and food, and his only thoughts are that high-ranking officials are generous, and they can get ahead if they are promoted, and they can also glorify their ancestors. I work hard in my heart and mind, just to one day become an official and a knight, and become a dignitary and dignitary who is admired by everyone and above 10,000 people under one person.
Fu Heng also had to follow with two sentences, Chen Shangshu, your wish, I think it shouldn't be difficult, maybe one day it will be as you wish. When the time comes, the doors of the Military Aircraft Department and the Cabinet will be open for you anytime and anywhere, as the saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way, and the official welcomes those who have a will to join at any time.
Chen Hongye wholeheartedly befriended the Minister of Military Aircraft, hoping to be promoted one day, and inadvertently said the words hidden in his heart.
"Then I will entrust the blessings of a few adults"
"Get promoted and leave this criminal department yamen as soon as possible"
Wei Jiyi doesn't seem to want to stay here for a long time, this weather is very hot at noon, it is better to go home early for lunch, and it is better to stay here than to stay here.
"I said adults, let's go."
"It's not the next one scheduled for tomorrow."
When he spoke, he had already turned around and walked back, Li Wei looked at Fu Heng and Chen Hongye, and began to squeeze his eyebrows and shout, what are we waiting for in this hot day, hurry up and walk back.
Wei Jiyi and Li Wei left one after another, and only Fu Heng and Chen Hongye were left in the courtyard. Fu Heng is the minister of the Military Aircraft Department and an important relative and powerful person in the imperial court. Although he is the secretary of the Criminal Department, even if both of them are official residences, he doesn't see Fu Heng much.
Today in the lobby of the Criminal Department, the two of them have a proper meeting, and on the way to the Kowloon Hall, they also said a lot of things, this will no longer be as raw as it was at the beginning, this Chen Shangshu has the interest to speak.
