Chapter 277: Disaster from the Sky
Although he has long known that Lu Yiming is not a thing, seeing the real evidence, people can't help but be angry.
"This thief must be brought to justice, and then a thousand knives must be cut." Ji Yunchen said hatefully.
Gu Zhou stopped thinking that Lu Yiming's crime was still light with a thousand knives.
"I will find a way to transfer him back to the capital, otherwise he will be nested in the north and have 100,000 soldiers and horses, which will be difficult to deal with."
"How? He couldn't leave the station unless it was a big deal, and it had to be a reason why he wouldn't be suspicious. ”
"That's right, so I'll have to sum up this excuse."
While the two were talking, Xing Feng came to report that his wife had sent someone to ask him to go home quickly.
Gu Zhou stopped thinking that something important had happened at home, said hello to several officials under him, and was about to go home.
Ji Yunchen said that he hadn't gone to see his aunt for a long time, so he followed.
As soon as I got home, I saw Mrs. Yao weeping, and her mother comforting her.
"Zhou stop, you can be counted back, Mrs. Yao, don't cry first, make things clear to Zhou Zhu." Gu Lin said.
Gu Zhou stopped inexplicably, what could Mrs. Yao do to find him?
Ji Yunchen seemed to think of something, and secretly touched Gu Zhouzhu with his elbow.
He whispered: "I entered the palace this morning and heard that Yao Shilang was arrested. ”
Gu Zhou stopped and raised his eyebrows, he really didn't know about this, the emperor didn't go to court early in the past two days, and he didn't enter the palace.
Gu Zhou stopped and sat down opposite: "Mrs. Yao, what is the matter?" ”
Mrs. Yao couldn't hold back her crying and choked up: "My lord is the deputy chief examiner of this year's autumn festival, this is a happy event, but today, my lord is just about to go on duty, and a team of officers and soldiers rushed into the house, saying that my lord is cheating for personal gain, and my lord has also been arrested, I inquired, the person was arrested by the criminal department, I want to see my lord, and I am not allowed, but my lord will never do anything for personal gain, he cherishes his feathers the most, and he was finally entrusted with a heavy responsibility, how can he do such a foolish thing, self-destruct his future, and the lord will explain to me before leaving, I must find you Lord Gu for this matter, only Lord Gu can return his innocence. ”
Saying that, Yao got up and was about to stop kneeling for Gu Zhou, but Gu Zhou stopped and stepped forward to support her and didn't let her kneel.
"Mrs. Yao, I can't help it."
Mrs. Yao cried: "Disaster has fallen from the sky, and I hope that Lord Gu will return my lord's innocence." ”
Gu Lin always felt that he was sorry for the Yao family, and said helpfully: "Zhou stop, you see, can you take the case over and find it out." ”
Although Gu Lin wants to help the Yao family, she is not confused, Mrs. Yao said that if her family is innocent, she must be innocent? If Lord Yao is innocent, he will naturally give him justice, if there is indeed fraud for personal gain, then it can only be dealt with strictly according to the law.
Gu Zhou frowned: "Let me understand this matter." ”
Mrs. Yao said: "There is something I don't know whether to talk about or not. ”
"Mrs. Yao, please speak."
"The Qin family once came to propose marriage before, and wanted to marry my family Ying'er."
Gu Lin was surprised: "Who is the Qin family proposing to?" ”
"It's Qin Liulang who had a stroke."
Gu Lin was speechless, how big the Qin family was, he actually wanted Yao Ying to marry his family's paralyzed son.
Mrs. Yao continued: "I didn't agree, and the matchmaker didn't listen to what she said, so I got angry and kicked people out. I also heard that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have a close relationship, but I don't know if these two things are related. ”
Mrs. Yao's voice gradually weakened, and she seemed very unconfident, because she had no evidence, but her intuition told her that today's difficulties were related to the Qin family.
"The Qin family won't be able to!" Gu Lin's family felt incredible, just because they couldn't get married, the Qin family dared to frame the waiter of the Ministry of Rites?
Gu Zhouzhu and Ji Yunchen exchanged glances, and Gu Zhou stopped and said, "Mrs. Yao, don't be anxious, I will find out about this matter." ”
Yao Shilang has a good reputation in the court, he is upright and impartial, Gu Zhouzhu has a good impression of Yao Shilang, so he is willing to help, if he is really wronged, he will not let the person who framed him succeed. If it does, then he can only be blamed for looking away.
Coming out of the Gu Mansion, Ji Yunchen said: "This year's Qiu Yu is the prince's main exam, Yang Xiang is the main exam, Yao Shilang and Master Chen of the Hanlin Academy are the deputy examiners, if it is really the prince who framed Yao Shilang for the Yue family, then he is really too tasteless." ”
Gu Zhouzhu nodded: "Indeed, most of the top and bottom of the criminal department are princelings. ”
Last time, he arrested the Song brothers, and Gong Shilang from the Criminal Department also came to his Dali Temple to ask for someone, who instructed him, you can imagine.
"Hey, what is the fate of this Yao Erniang, the marriage is so unsmooth, Sun Guifei just mentioned it before, and wanted the prince to accept Yao Erniang as a good woman, Qin Siyue, a vicious woman, calculated Yao Erniang, and the frightened Yao family rejected Sun Guifei's proposal, and later discussed with you, and was said that it was inconsistent, and now she rejected a paralyzed man's proposal to marry, which led to her father going directly to prison."
Ji Yunchen sighed.
Gu Zhou stopped: "It's not appropriate for you to say that, in the absence of evidence, you already believe that Lord Yao's accident is a retaliation after the Qin family's marriage failed." ”
"Isn't it? I don't believe that Yao Shilang is a person who can cheat for personal gain. ”
"It's all about the evidence." Gu Zhou stopped and said cautiously, preconceived thinking is terrifying, especially for the person who solves the case.
"So what do you do now? Go directly to the Ministry of Punishment to dignitaries? ”
Gu Zhou stopped shaking his head: "The person is already in the Criminal Department, how easy it is to come over, I have to enter the palace and strive for this case to be tried by Dali Temple and the Criminal Department." ”
"Indeed, this matter can only be done with the nod of the emperor."
Gu Zhou stopped to enter the palace, and Ji Yunchen went to find Wang Qirou, the game was postponed for two days, and he took advantage of these two days to make another assault.
Gu Zhou stopped to meet the emperor, but the unexpected emperor did not agree to let Dali Temple participate in it, in the emperor's opinion, Yao Shilang's crime is conclusive evidence, and the criminal department will do it according to the procedure, Dali Temple does not need to be involved, Gu Zhouzhu should focus on the Dashu mission.
Gu Zhou didn't insist either, and turned his head to find His Royal Highness.
Xiao Yan listened to Gu Zhou's intention: "Lord Gu, do you suspect that this matter is related to the prince?" ”
According to Gu Zhouzhu's principle of doing things, he would not make an assertion without certain evidence, but now if he wants to participate in the trial, only His Royal Highness can help, and he understands His Royal Highness's temperament, as long as it is related to the prince, His Royal Highness will definitely agree.
In order to find out about the matter, Gu Zhouzhu violated his principles for the first time.
I hope that Lord Yao is worthy of his trust.
Gu Zhouzhu did not hesitate: "Exactly." ”
Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and made a decision: "I'll figure out a way from my father's side." ”
In my selfish heart, I wish it was the prince who maliciously framed it, and if this case is overturned, the prince will lose the trust of the courtiers.
Gu Zhou stopped and bowed: "The minister will wait for news from His Highness." ”
