Chapter 161: Rehabilitating Zhaoxue
Coming out of the palace, Gui Ming's heart has been going up and down. Ji Lie's attitude towards this matter was ambiguous and ambiguous, but there was one sentence that made him quite concerned.
"Don't let Zhongjing Mansion Yin investigate the matter too deeply, so as not to implicate it widely. β
There seems to be a meaning in these words to protect Chen Jing's game. However, it is understandable that Taishi Chen's protΓ©gΓ© is old in the Manchu Dynasty, and he will move his whole body. If the verdict is rash, I am afraid that it will cause turmoil in the DPRK situation. But if you don't indulge it, there will definitely be hidden dangers.
Gui Ming returned home with a heavy heart, only to hear a melodious sound of the piano in his ears, and immediately forgot all his worries. It turned out that Ran Su'er was stroking the piano.
At the end of the song, Gui Ming applauded.
"Ming Gongzi has been good these days, and the slave family has been bothered these days, I am really grateful. Ran Su'er got up and saluted.
"Miss Su'er is polite, there has been some progress in Lord Lingzun's case, do you want to hear about it?" Gui Ming said.
"Please also ask Ming Gongzi to come. Ran Su'er asked Xiang'er to make a cup of tea, and the two sat down and talked slowly.
So Guiming explained the situation he had now one by one, but only kept the news that Taishi Chen might be involved in the case, after all, there was no empirical evidence, and saying it would only increase his trouble.
Now just wait for Yu to return to Beijing and send all the evidence to the Zhongjing Mansion, and the crime of Lou Shangshu of the military department can be regarded as a certainty. All this was done in secret, but Lou Shangshu didn't know it, and there was not much time left for him.
It's just that whether to dig deeper into the facts behind it, Guiming has no idea for a while.
"Master Ming, there is still a place where the slave family can help. Seeing Gui Ming's shock, Ran Xu'er called softly.
"Miss Su'er, you can just rest at home, and leave these things to us men, hehe. Gui Ming came back to his senses and said with a smirk. As long as he saw Ran Xu'er, he felt very happy.
"I didn't expect the deputy commander of the dignified Dragon Guard to be such a macho person, what is the difference between our young lady and a man. Xiang'er hugged and said unevenly on the side.
"No, no, no, I didn't mean that, it's just that Miss Su'er's whereabouts need to be kept secret, and it's safer at home at this time. Gui Ming hurriedly explained.
Seeing him so flustered, Ran Su'er smiled, almost snatching away his soul. Guiming also knew that he was out of shape, so he quickly found an excuse and fled.
"Miss, Ming Gongzi seems to like you very much. Xiang'er said.
"He's a person you can rely on, but don't you think he doesn't seem to have something to say?" Ran Xu'er was as careful as dust, and she had already seen that Gui Ming had something on her mind.
"I didn't see it, I just saw that one was affectionate and the other was intentional. Hee-hee. Xiang'er quipped on the side.
"I'm calling you nonsense. Ran Su'er said angrily, raised her hand and pretended to hit Xiang'er.
The two girls chased and fought in the yard, this situation, although it was winter now, the yard seemed to be infinitely spring.
A few days later, Yu Zhong escorted Li Duwei and Yuan Tong into Beijing and sent them to the government as soon as possible. Hua Renan interrogated the two as soon as possible, and at the same time invited Ran Xuer and other relevant witnesses to come to the court, and recorded all the confessions in the case and sealed the evidence.
It is related to the members of the imperial court, Hua Ren'an still needs to secretly play the Son of Heaven, and ask for the holy decree before he can take people. But it is a good thing that he can finally avenge Ran Zilin.
Gui Ming breathed a long sigh of relief, but Yu Zhong frowned on the side.
"What's the matter, Boss Yu, shouldn't you be happy that the matter has finally come to an end?" asked Gui Ming.
"Have you ever told anyone about my escort of witnesses to Beijing?" Yu Zhong asked rhetorically.
"No, all of this was secretly arranged by the two of us, and no one else knows about it except Huada. Is there any problem?"
"On the way back this time, we met a group of assassins who wanted to assassinate the witnesses. Yu Zhong said slowly.
Gui Ming was shocked and hurriedly asked the reason.
It turns out that Yu Zhong has been careful along the way, and he does not dare to slack off. Li Duwei is okay to arrive, and he is quite cooperative, but this yuan is in control, and he has been looking for an opportunity to escape.
In the end, in order to avoid trouble, Yu Zhong simply tied him up with five flowers, put him in a box containing goods, and only released him when he was resting on the road.
On that day, I saw that I was about to enter the realm of Zhongjing. Inevitably having a lot of dreams at night, Yu Zhong and his party accelerated their trip, but they missed the town where they were deployed, and finally had to camp in the wild.
In the middle of the night, when no one was around, more than a dozen masked masters suddenly attacked them and went straight to Li Duwei and Yuan Tong. It's just that they didn't expect Yu Chong's martial arts to be so profound, and the killers didn't succeed.
It's just that their trip is very secret, and only a few people know about it, so how did they leak the news?
"It seems that someone in Beijing doesn't want us to come back. Yu Zhong said.
"It's just that how did this news leak out, could it be that Lou Shangshu sent someone to do it? I have been in Shangshu Mansion and have not heard such news. Gui Ming didn't understand.
"Ming Shao, if it were you and failed once, would you continue to do it?" Yu Zhong suddenly asked.
"Naturally, I will not be reconciled, after all, when a witness arrives in Beijing, the person involved in the case must be an unpardonable crime. "Guiming replied.
"That's right, but isn't it strange that no one has done anything to us after that?" Yu Zhong asked rhetorically.
"They must be taboo about your martial arts, so under your escort, they don't dare to do it. Gui Ming suddenly came to his senses.
"That's right, so if they want to do it again, they can only wait for the Zhongjing Mansion to take over. But the prison is heavily guarded, so how can they be sure that they will succeed?" Yu Zhong continued.
Gui Ming slapped his thigh and suddenly said, "Unless they are people who can enter and leave the government prison at will!"
His remarks hit the nail on the head. That's right, the reason why these killers didn't do it again all the way must have a better chance for them to do it.
This opportunity was when the two witnesses were detained in prison. There are many dragons and snakes in the prison, the environment is harsh, and many things are inexplicable. If something happens, no one can tell.
The two hurriedly went straight to the prison, but this prison was such a strict place, and the jailer at the door said that they would not let them in. It wasn't until Guiming showed the gold medal of the second prince that they were let in.
Seeing that Yuan Tongzhi and Li Duwei were still safe and sound in their respective prisons, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Has anyone come to see the two of them today?" Gui Ming asked casually.
"Returning to the deputy commander, someone from the Criminal Department came to interrogate me today, but Lord Yin Hua of Zhongjing Mansion personally explained that no one is allowed to take away criminals except for people from the government office. The jailer replied.
"It seems that Huada has thought about this layer a long time ago, but I don't know if the guards of this prison can be able to do it without leaks?" Yu Zhong said on the side.
"Rest assured, the prison is heavily guarded, and there are people on duty at twelve o'clock, so there will be no accidents. The jailer replied.
Coming out of the prison, Yu Zhong is still not at ease, and always feels that something will go wrong.
His fears were justified. The next day, Gui Ming appeared in front of him with a solemn face. Yuan Tong committed suicide in the night.
"What about Captain Li?" Yu Zhong asked.
"He's fine. "Guiming replied.
"Do you really believe that it was suicide in fear of sin?" Yu Zhong obviously did not believe.
"Believe it or not, people are dead, and we can't do anything about it. Gui Ming said dejectedly.
Yu Zhong knew in his heart that the Yuan system in Shangjing was looking for an opportunity to escape, and his desire to survive was very strong, how could he commit suicide in fear of crime like this. He has a lot of chances to die.
This must be someone who wants to die without proof, and the reason why Li Duwei is okay is probably because he is just a little minion and his knowledge is very limited.
"In fact, the Yuan system is dead, and it has little impact on the case, after all, there is already a confession in the case, and Lou Shangshu of the Ministry of War will definitely not be able to get out of it. Gui Ming said.
"Unless...... He still holds some other secrets. Yu Zhong said word by word.
Inside the Taishi's Mansion.
"Done?"
"It's done, it's clean, and no clues are left. β
"Very good, so he won't be able to bite us, as for Lou Shangshu of the military department, he had to sacrifice him this time. β
"Do you want me to give him ...... too," the speaker made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"There's no need, it's too dazzling. Anyway, he doesn't know what we're planning, so let's let someone give him a ride. β
"It's a good thing that someone mentioned it this time, otherwise we would have been implicated, he knows too much. β
"Now it's just a loss of Jingbei Left Road, and the impact is not big, and we can still find someone to fill it. β
A ray of sunlight shone into the room and reflected on the faces of the two men who were talking. One is Chen Jing, the imperial master, and the other is Chen Nahai, the commander of Long Xiangwei.
The development of the matter is positive to Gui Ming, and the death of the Yuan system did not have much impact on the case. Hua Ren'an sorted out the case, and after listening to it, Lou Shangshu was immediately dismissed from office.
After being tried by the three legal divisions, because of his collaboration with the enemy and treason, and framing Zhongliang, the impact was really bad. The emperor decided that Lou Shangshu would make a decision, and he didn't have to wait for the autumn queen, confiscated his family property, and the three clans were filled with troops.
Ran Zilin, the former commander of the left road in Jingbei, who was framed to death, rehabilitated Zhaoxue, and posthumously crowned the champion general. And give the descendants the general's mansion, pension and good land, to be loyal and brave.
At this point, on the surface, the case is closed. It's just that Guiming knows in his heart that there are still many unresolved issues in this case.
Now that Lou Shangshu has taken refuge in Taishi Chen Jing, how much does he know about this case and what role does he play?
Is there some other secret hidden behind the death of the Yuan Rule, so that someone must shut him up?
Regarding the matter of witnesses, who is the person who reported the news, and who sent the killer to commit the murder?
None of these questions have been answered, and no, the case is far from over!
