Chapter Twenty-Four: Is There Still a King's Law?
Zhu Houzhao pestered Sun Zheng to inquire, wondering how he saw through the abductors.
Sun Zheng handed the child in his arms to Li Guang and explained, "Your Highness, look at the clothes on this child, is there any difference between the clothes on this child and the woman's clothes?" ”
Zhu Houzhao looked left and right: "Oh, she is wearing better, this kid is wearing tatters." Well, I see, this is definitely not my mother. How can my mother be willing to let her children suffer such a sin! Just like the father and queen mother, whatever is good must be given to the palace first...... Hmph, the kidnappers should be killed, the father and mother of other people's children have lost their dolls, how anxious they should be! ”
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and touched the prince's head, and the happy little prince smiled. Li Guang next to him looked entangled, our family is taking care of the emperor, now be a nanny for a mud doll! I don't know how many fleas there are on this body, so I have to wash it well when I go back......
In the past, the officials were not worthy of the attention of the masters of Ouchi, but today it is rare to be taken seriously.
In these years, there is really no human rights in handling cases. If you catch it, you will fight, and if you don't move, you will continue to fight, and you will continue to fight until you say or die.
The biggest reliance of these officials is nothing more than the official signboard of Shuntian Mansion. Now the signboard is out of order, and I don't know where to provoke the big guys.
This kind of person is a human spirit, and he knows very well that he can't pull out of the backstage at this time, otherwise he won't even have a chance to turn over.
The officials insisted that they did not know, and only came to inquire when they saw that their colleagues were arrested. They also don't know what happened to the child in partnership with the woman.
The two of them were bitten to death because they had been married for many years, and they wanted to turn a baby back to raise it.
Of course Hongji doesn't believe it, but he is the emperor, and the crown prince is by his side, this kind of dark side of the world, he doesn't want his son to come into contact too early. Tell Sun Zheng to transfer the case to Shuntianfu, and take his son back to the palace first. Otherwise, this little thing would definitely have to follow Sun Zheng all the way to the end of the case.
Li Guang saw that the emperor and the crown prince were gone, so he hurriedly stuffed the child into the hand of the Jinyi lieutenant next to him and hurriedly followed.
As night fell, Yin Zhangji of Shuncheon Mansion got the news and hurriedly brought a group of his men to the scene. Knowing that His Majesty saw this case in person, he did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly took a criminal into custody, and he wanted to inquire about the case overnight.
On the other hand, the parents who lost their children were also found, and the two of them were looking for the baby everywhere like flies, Sun Zheng waited until the child was rescued by the imperial doctor and recognized the parents before returning it to them.
The two of them couldn't cry, kowtowed to Sun Zheng according to the doll, and went with a thousand thanks.
It's just a matter of coincidental encounter, Sun Zheng didn't take it to heart, the case has been transferred to Shuntian Mansion, no matter what happens, it is a local government affair. Whether it's good or not, the emperor will judge it, and it will not affect his beautiful otaku life.
Three days later, in the early morning, after Sun Zheng finished practicing, he routinely went to the Huangshi Palace to flip through the book, and saw Li Dongsheng waiting halfway with a tangled face. Found it early in the morning, is there something wrong?
"Master! Something happened! ”
"There is no head and no tail, the sky is falling? Make it clear! ”
"Didn't the master save an abducted child outside the palace? Last night, that family was killed! ”
What? Sun Zheng was shocked: "Is the news confirmed?" ”
"It was the scene that Xiao personally went to investigate, and the Tian family and his wife were made to commit suicide by hanging beams, judging from the injuries on their bodies, they were heavily handed before their deaths."
Sun Zheng's expression became very calm, this is a murderous prestige, this is coming at me!
"Where's the kid?"
"Not at the scene, and there was no trace nearby. I'm afraid it's ......."
Sun Zheng didn't enter the Imperial Palace anymore, and turned his head and left the palace: "Go to Shuntian Mansion!" ”
Outside the palace gate, Sun Qiuan was also waiting, and the three of them met and entered the Shuntian Mansion all the way.
Sun Zheng's official position is Jinyi Wei Baihu, and he is a deacon in the palace, and Shuntianfu looks down on this kind of inner palace, and he doesn't dare to offend him on the surface.
But the progress of the case made Sun Zheng turn his face on the spot.
"What do you say? Two abductors committed suicide in prison, and the other officials found out that they had nothing to do with the incident and have all been released? That's the end of the case? That's how Shuntianfu handles cases? ”
Zhang Ji is also from the two lists of Jinshi, and only when you give you face will you enter the government to read the case file, but you don't give you face, what kind of thing are you a minion, posing in front of this mansion?
"This government handles the case, and it has its own court law, and there is no need for Sun Baihu to guide it!"
Sun Zheng smiled angrily: "Zhang Fu is a good official!" Since Shuntianfu closed the case so hastily, then I had no choice but to reply to His Majesty myself. ”
"You don't want to use Your Majesty to press me! This mansion is an official of the imperial court, not a royal minion! ”
Rub, this is still mocking me, there is a kind! We'll see.
Sun Zheng took people to Jinyiwei Town, Fusi, Shuntian Mansion, and the magistrate hurriedly ran into the lobby, reporting the murder case last night to Zhang Ji with a sad face.
Only then did Zhang Ji understand why Sun Zheng was so angry, this matter was witnessed by the emperor himself, if there was no follow-up homage, it would be just a matter of closing the case, and now that there is such a follow-up, the two abductors committed suicide obviously and can't explain it.
For a while, Zhang Fu Yin was anxious to get angry, and when he came back to his senses, the scene of the murder had been blocked by Jinyiwei, and the case was out of the control of Shuntian Mansion.
Jinyi Weibei Town Fu Si, Sun Zheng'an sat in the hall, and they all commanded Tongzhi Mu Bin to enter the door: "Brother Zheng relax, they are all his own brothers, and they are the cases that His Majesty is asking about, no one dares not to care." ”
Mu Bin is the boss of his predecessor father Sun Yongan, after Sun Yongan died, Sun Zheng was displaced for a time, or Mu Bin took care of him, and later sent him to the palace through the door to be a companion, which is a proper person.
In the past few years, Sun Zheng has turned purple in the palace, and Mu Bin has also followed the light, and has risen rapidly to achieve the same knowledge. The commander of Jinyiwei is Li Guang and Li Guang, and he doesn't pay attention to it at all on weekdays. Basically, Mu Bin is the number one person in Jinyiwei.
In the past ten years since Hongzhi succeeded to the throne, Jinyiwei's power has shrunk significantly. But after all, it is a secret service department, and the establishment has not been withdrawn, and the manpower is still there. Usually just forget about things, but when you really do things, you are many times stronger than those ordinary officials.
The seven officials who were released by the Shuntian Mansion were soon brought back to the Zhenfu Division, and Sun Zheng decided to ask the case himself.
The seven of them are all old fritters in officialdom, and they have a bit of a taste of oil and salt.
Sun Zheng's face sank like water: "You should know what I want to ask, now, I will give you a chance!" Who wants to say? ”
The seven of them all had straight faces, and one sneered at Sun Zheng with a look of disdain.
"There's a kind!"
As soon as Sun Zheng waved his hand, the seven people were dragged to the gallows that had been erected a long time ago, and one by one they pressed their heads and put ropes, and the seven people lined up, their hands tied behind their backs, and stood on the high stool, just waiting to kick open the stool and hang themselves.
The official who sneered just now had a panicked face, but he still beat his spirit: "The Jinyi Guard Yamen also has to handle the case according to the law, which one do you scare by such means?" ”
Sun Zheng kicked off the stool under his feet, and the man spun in the air like a sausage, stretched out his legs and kicked a few times in the air, his tongue spit out, his eyes were wide open, and he gradually lost his movement.
Among the other six, three were frightened on the spot and cried tremblingly: "Grandpa spare his life!" I'm recruiting, I'm willing to recruit! ”
Sun Zheng raised a finger: "I only need one to speak useful!" ”
At this time, the other three also panicked, and they didn't have a mouth to shout for recruitment. Sun Zheng beckoned people to take the six people down separately and recorded their own confessions.
When Sun Zheng kicked the stool just now, Mu Bin actually wanted to persuade that this person was a good man, but he was not very suitable to be a spy. But seeing that Sun Zheng's face was not good, he was stunned, and he could only sigh that the unlucky guy was unlucky.
After a while, the confession came out.
The six of them confessed the same, they were instructed by Niu Kebing, the general sentence of Shuntianfu, and were responsible for covering those kidnappers. As for the origin of the abductors, they never contact each other, only know that the abducted children sometimes meet in the Leaky Garden near the west gate of the outer city. And not only the seven of them have done it, but most of the officials of Shuntian Mansion have done it.
The Jinyi Weiti rode out and quickly surrounded the Leaky Zeyuan, and at the same time, another team of men and horses rushed straight to the Shuntian Mansion and arrested Niu Kebing with a detention card. All the officials involved were arrested.
Sun Zheng is a celebrity in the palace, and there are two things, Qingcheng County Mansion and Jin Palace, both of which are counted on his head, and in the past two years, the reputation of the factory guard is in full swing.
Everyone has long said that if this young master doesn't make a move, it will be earth-shattering. It is rare for the master to take command in person, but it can be regarded as taking off the head and being able to spread joy. When things are done, that's called a clean one.
At the same time that Niu Kebing was escorted, the entire Niu family was also arrested and escorted to the Zhenfu Division together. The cow's wife and three sons were arrested and imprisoned for some reason, and they didn't know what was going on.
Niu Kebing was originally quite horizontal, scolding and scolding all the way, as if it was a great honor to go to prison. But when I saw the whole family gathered in the Imperial Prison Square, I lost my temper on the spot.
"What are you doing here? Is there still a royal law? Woe to my wife and children......"
Sun Zheng ignored his nonsense at all, and as soon as he raised his chin, several members of the Niu family were dragged to the gallows, and the captains in brocade clothes were busy tying their hands, putting ropes, and erecting benches.
On the shelf, there was a fresh corpse that had just died, and anyone who saw it would be furious from the bottom of their hearts.
