Chapter 107: Transfer of Prisoners
[The seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, March 30, Chenshi, Tsing Yi Wei Hall]
Today, Xu Ke has just arrived at the Tsing Yi Guard, he is sitting in his official room, not long after, there are guards to report, Shen Du ordered several thousands of adults to meet in the council hall, saying that the Holy Lord sent someone to convey the edict.
Xu Ke was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in his heart, Senior Brother is really powerful, he just entered the palace last night, and the edict of the Son of Heaven came so soon, it seems that the lives of more than 100 girls can finally be saved.
Unexpectedly, he came to the council hall and listened to the chamberlain read the edict of the Son of Heaven loudly, but there was no mention of the pardon for those girls, and the emperor only reprimanded Yang Wenyuan for indulging his subordinates and raping female criminals.
Moreover, after the emperor reprimanded Yang Wenyuan, he only strictly ordered Yang Wenyuan to carefully restrain his subordinates in the future, and not to be an example, but the punishment for him was only exempted from payment for one year, and the examiner of the Ministry of Officials signed a major demerit, and besides, he did not say anything.
In the oracle conveyed by the chamberlain, the emperor scolded Yang Wenyuan so heavily and punished him lightly, which surprised everyone present. What Xu Ke didn't expect the most was that in the emperor's entire edict, there was no mention of Ling Chi's punishment for Miss Mingyue, nor did he change the death sentence for the rest of the prisoners.
After the chamberlain finished reading the message of the Son of Heaven, he left in a hurry. After everyone got up, Shen Huan beckoned all the thousands of households to sit down in turn.
A few people had just sat down, and before Yang Wenyuan's ass could sit firmly, Shen Huan slapped the table and said coldly to Yang Wenyuan:
"Yang Qianhu, the good things you have done! My Tsing Yiwei's face has been lost to you!"
Yang Wenyuan had no choice but to stand up, and bowed to Shen Huan in the hall and said:
"The humble duty failed to restrain his subordinates, causing the emperor to be held responsible, and the humble duty was derelict in his duties, please supervise and punish him!"
Shen Huan snorted and said: "The emperor is benevolent and generous, and he only fined you for one year, but this governor is in charge of the Tsing Yi Guard, how can you allow you to indulge your subordinates like this? Ruin the reputation of my Tsing Yi Wei! After you go back, you will beat all the things that you can't control your lower body fifty big boards! Throw them home and kill them and bury them!"
"Obey orders!" Yang Wenyuan already had a cold sweat on his forehead.
Shen Huan then waved his hand and asked Yang Wenyuan to go back and sit down.
"As for those female prisoners from Cuiyun Building, can't they be put in your southern prison anymore......" Shen Huan looked sideways at Nangong and said politely:
"Nangong Qianhu, you will send people to take care of all these prisoners in the Imperial Prison!"
Nangong was silent and looked at Shen Huan and Yang Wenyuan there, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and at this time, he suddenly heard that Shen Huan was going to let him take over those criminals, which was completely unexpected to him, and he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart:
"This ......"
"How...... Is Nangong Qianhu afraid of taking responsibility?"
"How dare Nangong!" Nangong said to Shen Huan silently: "Nangong just thinks that the case of Cuiyunlou has always been tried by Yang Qianhu, and all the criminals have been arrested by Yang Qianhu, and the relevant interrogations, records, and filings are all the responsibility of Yang Qianhu.
After speaking, Nangong Qianhu turned his head to look at Yang Wenyuan again, and said in his heart, the case was arrested by your Nansi, and now, all the criminals have been taken away by my Beisi, are you willing?
Shen Huan said, "There's nothing unruly!" He took a sip of tea from the teacup in front of him, and then asked Yang Wenyuan:
"Yang Qianhu, this governor will transfer all these prisoners in your hands to Nangong Qianhu to take over, do you have any opinions?"
Yang Wenyuan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No opinion, no opinion!
Seeing that Nangong was silent and indecisive, Shen Huan said again:
Although Yang Qianhu was the first to take charge of this case, and he had always been in charge of the trial, Yang Qianhu failed to manage his subordinates well, so that the female prisoners were humiliated for no reason, and the governor felt angry when he thought about it! Now that the emperor has decreed that he will be convicted, one day after all these criminals will be executed, and the governor does not want to make any more trouble! If there is no unjust case, this governor will transfer these criminals to your Beisi to take care of them, this is not only the trust of the governor in you, but also the emperor's trust in you! Nangong Qianhu, you will not let this governor down, right?"
Yang Wenyuan also followed: "Lord Nangong, there are too many criminals in the case of King Han's murder this time, my South Prison is small, and there are only dozens of cells in total, which is not as spacious as your North Prison!
Yang Wenyuan immediately stood up and saluted silently to Nangong, who was sitting on the left side.
Seeing that the two of them were singing and pairing, as if they were going to hand over these prisoners to him, Nangong was silent and didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the two of them, but at this time, he really couldn't find a suitable reason to shirk again, so he had to sit down and bow to Shen Huan and said:
"In this case, Nangong is the one who receives the order!"
"Okay!" Seeing that Nangong was silent and finally agreed, Shen Huan immediately got up and said:
"The oracle has been announced, let's go and get busy!"
After that, he didn't look back, and the first one walked out quickly.
Yang Wenyuan stood there by himself, he had the heart to say two words of "thank you" to Nangong without saying anything, but seeing that Nangong did not mean to answer him, he had to give up his hand slightly, and then retreated in embarrassment.
After Shen Huan and Yang Wenyuan left, Zhang Muye smiled at Xu Ke for the first time:
"Brother Xu, that's good! I went to the South Prison yesterday, and today I made Yang Wenyuan so embarrassed, your inspection is really very tight! It seems that our Qingjing Division will have to behave in the future, in case you find out something, my old Zhang will not be able to eat and walk around!"
Xu Ke knew that Zhang Muye was joking, so he laughed and said:
"Brother Zhang, don't worry, no one will find out about your Brother Zhang's head if I check it!"
Seeing that Zhang Muye and Xu Ke were suddenly so close, Zhu Leyun felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he listened to Xu Ke's words, savored them, and felt that there must be something in them, his face was suddenly cloudy, and at this moment, he wanted to squeeze out a smile again, and said to Xu Ke:
"Xu Qianhu, Yang Qianhu allowed his subordinates to rape female criminals, this matter was found out yesterday?
As he spoke, Zhu Leyun raised his thumb and kept praising Xu Ke.
"Thousands of households, Xu is just doing my duty, where are the means?" Xu Ke replied coldly.
Zhu Leyun's black and thin face couldn't help but be blue and red for a while, he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't attack on the spot, so he had to freeze there, not knowing what to say.
"Brother Xian, go and sit in my North Division!"
Nangong greeted him silently, and then walked out of the gate of the council hall with Xu Ke one after the other, and headed towards the North Anping Division.
......
After Xu Ke left, Zhu Leyun's originally depressed heart, Fang Shi let out a long sigh. Somehow, every time he stayed with this "stunned young man", he always felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but every time he couldn't help but step forward and take the initiative to please the other party. This time, Zhu Leyun secretly thought in his heart, next time I can't be so unreminiscent, this thing that doesn't know what to do, I'd better stay away from him as far away as possible!
Zhang Muye patted Zhu Leyun's shoulder and said with a smile: "Old Zhu, what are you thinking?"
"It's nothing!" Zhu Leyun looked at the direction of Xu Ke's departure and slowly calmed his mood.
"Then don't you leave quickly!" Zhang Muye said: "The Holy Lord's oracle has been announced, and we have nothing to do, what are you still doing here?"
"Let's go!"
The two of them then walked out of the gate of the council hall together, and went straight to Zhu Leyun's Luan Yi Division, and after a few steps, Zhu Leyun asked:
"Mu Ye, I heard that you were with that ...... yesterday Together with Xu Qianhu, I went to Nansi to investigate the case?"
"That's right!"
"What did you find?"
"I'm just accompanying, it's all checked by Brother Xu!"
"Why do you want to accompany him to investigate the case?"
"Hey, I just can't get used to Yang Wenyuan's ......"
......
......
Xu Ke followed Nangong silently to his official room, but saw that Ma Yun, the head of Zhao Wangfu, was already sitting in it and waiting.
Nangong was silent and recognized that the other party was the head of Zhao Wangfu, and he was busy watching the tea, but he saw Ma Yun waving his hand and said to Xu Ke, the prince is outside the Mingde Gate in the south of the city, and he ordered you to ride a fast horse immediately!
After saying that, Ma Yun arched his hand towards Xu Ke, and then went out.
Nangong was silent and originally planned to ask Xu Ke about his investigation of the case yesterday, but when he saw this, he hurriedly said:
"Brother Xian, since His Royal Highness King Zhao is in a hurry to recruit you to go, Brother Fool will not keep you, you should go quickly!"
Xu Ke knew that his senior brother Li Yiding was going to discuss with him about rescuing Mingyue, so he didn't delay at the moment, and then turned around and went out.
When he walked to the door, he turned back to Nangong and said:
"Brother Nangong, the younger brother almost forgot, when you send someone to take over those criminals later, there is a girl named 'Mingyue', trouble Brother Nangong, put her in a cell alone......"
Nangong was silent and wanted to ask: "Why is this?" However, when he saw that Xu Ke was in a hurry and was about to go out, he still changed his sentence:
"Brother Fool knows, Brother Fool will detain the first offender 'Mingyue' in solitary confinement, and no one will be allowed to disturb him!
Xu Ke said with some embarrassment:
"Brother Nangong, you will order someone to clean the cell where Mingyue is held in advance, girl, always love to be clean! In addition, the corresponding bedding, clothes, bowls and basins and other items will be replaced with a new batch for her, and the furnishings in the cell should also be as thoughtful as possible......
Nangong couldn't help but be a little speechless, he said in his heart, this bright moon will be executed by Ling Chi in another day, why do you want to toss so hard now? My edict in Bei'an Pingsi is not an inn in Chang'an City? I still can't bear to whiff Xu Ke's interest, so he said:
"Okay! Brother Fool will settle Mingyue in a while! Just like you did when you placed Li Junxian, is it okay?"
Xu Ke nodded, he was about to go out, but he was still not at ease, and asked again:
"Brother Nangong, those more than 100 female prisoners, if they are imprisoned, those subordinates of your Northern Division will not be like Southern Division, right?"
Nangong couldn't help but be a little unhappy and said:
"Brother Xian, if my subordinates in Nangong, like his subordinates in Yang Wenyuan, behave like those female criminals, Brother Xian might as well write a piece of music, and join me tomorrow!"
Xu Ke hurriedly said: "Brother Nangong, little brother didn't mean that!"
"Okay, you better hurry up! Don't let His Royal Highness King Zhao wait!"
