Chapter 244: The Case Thirteen Years Ago
"You eat first, and we'll go to the theater after eating."
Li Yuan raised her eyebrows and asked, "You don't talk about your plan?" ”
"If nothing else, you won't be going tonight."
As he spoke, he whispered: "I heard my aunt say just now that now the Gao Mansion and the Chen Mansion are in chaos, and the Qian Mansion and the Zheng Governor's Mansion are also being dragged in. Otherwise, why would you want to go over? It is not known whether the evening banquet will be held as scheduled. ”
Saying that, Xie Yanzhi pondered for a moment and continued: "You eat first, I'll go and see first." If it goes well, tonight's banquet will be postponed. We can take advantage of their chaos and I'll take you to the Qian Mansion. I know where they are, and I remember what time they are today and where the patrol is. ”
"Yuan Niang, after we empty those, it doesn't matter if they are willing to continue to hold banquets. Brother Ziran mainly wants to know things like account books, and if it is in the treasury at that time, I will find a way to send it to Brother Ziran. What does the rest have to do with us? ”
Li Yuan liked him to be so bad that he was so arrogant, and said with a smile: "Okay, then you go first." It's just that you're sure we can get into the Qian Mansion? After entering the Qian Mansion, can you smoothly avoid the patrolling nursing homes and the guards? ”
"I'm 70% sure that we'll act when the opportunity comes. Yuanniang, you have to believe me, I won't do anything I'm not sure of! ”
Li Yuan looked at him with a serious face, so he nodded: "Okay, then you go and have a look first, and I'll follow later." Xiao Qingsha asked her aunt to take her back to Su Mansion first, and as for my makeup, I will also wear it. If I didn't have to go to a banquet in the evening, it would be easier, I even chose the clothes in disguise, and everything was left until it was dark. ”
When Li Yuan went out after eating, the street that Su Xue said was full of people.
The seal of the mansion has not yet been opened, and Master Chen and Mrs. Gao are reluctant to go to the mansion, so they try the case on the street.
Governor Zheng was still thinking about how to get some usable news from Meng Peng's mouth at night, and when he learned about it, his face darkened.
He felt that this Chen Mansion and Gao Mansion were really not like each other, and it was not a good idea for the New Year, so he had to knock and knock on it when he turned around.
Who knows, when he arrived at the place, he found that his cousin's sister-in-law actually sued his own man and murdered someone.
Is this still worth it?
If Meng Peng is not in Fucheng today, then he can take people into custody first, and wait for the Yamen to be unsealed after the New Year and then tried again.
But Meng Peng is here, and it also involves human life or something, so he must be in a hurry.
Therefore, he began to try the case on the spot.
But in this informal place, he did not wear official uniforms, and the yacha was not there, so the trial was not formal.
No, no one knelt down except those who fell to the ground.
Even Qin Lin shouted Cousin Zheng one by one in order to show that she was getting closer.
When Meng Peng came, he directly took over the case when he saw this.
He told Governor Zheng that he was a relative of the person who filed the complaint, and that he was bending the law for personal gain, and that he, the parent official, had to avoid suspicion.
Zheng Zhifu thought to himself what kind of relatives he and Mrs. Gao were, but when he thought about the relationship between the nine twists and eighteen turns, and if Meng Peng returned to Beijing to investigate the place where he served, there were relatives, which did not meet the avoidance system, and he would have to accept it when the time came.
It's not good, even his father has to be implicated.
Because of these, he could only grit his teeth and withdraw from his position and hand over the judgment to Meng Peng.
The trial of cases in Dali Temple belongs to the position of Dali Temple Cheng and Criminal Officer, like Meng Peng, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, is the second-in-command in Dali Temple.
The daily work they do in Dali Temple is to review and inspect the verdict of the Criminal Department.
Therefore, Meng Peng is also familiar with the trial of cases.
In the face of him, Qin Lin didn't dare to set up a relationship, and she, who was bent on sending Master Gao to prison, said directly: "My lord, the woman wants to sue Gao Ningyao and Wu Yuer for murder." Thirteen years ago, in August, one of them went out of the city to pray for blessings, and the other went out to mingle in the name of a foreign merchant. I heard that they were bumped into by a Xiucai who was staying overnight to catch the exam, and then they were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so they sent someone to pretend to be a robber and murder someone. ”
As soon as Master Gao heard this, he directly burst into foul language at Qin Lin: "You fart!" ”
As he spoke, he looked at Meng Peng: "My lord, the grass people are good people, and they have never done anything that hurts the heavens and reason. At most, I'm a little confused about the affairs of men and women. ”
Meng Peng directly ignored Master Gao's words, and as soon as he heard that it was the murder of a famous person, he asked Qin Lin: "You said it all, this was thirteen years ago, is there any evidence?" If there is no evidence, empty mouth and white teeth slander others, but you will be beaten with a cane and twenty boards. ”
"Yes! Back to my lord, the women have it! The witness of the folk woman is Mrs. Cai, who is next to Wu Yuer. She told the woman about this in person a few days ago, and the adults could call her to ask about it. ”
