Chapter Seventy-Six: Laughing and Scolding
"What's the situation going on now?" Yang An asked eagerly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Actually, I'm doing these things today just to ask you not to go to the prefect's yamen first, so as not to startle the snake!" Sakura suddenly became serious.
"Why? Are you still waiting for someone?"
"That's right, the eldest brother of the old lady is now the official residence of the Criminal Department, and after the accident, I passed the book to Lord Yu, as soon as he arrives, everything will be solved!"
"In that case, things are much easier, so is he here now?"
"I'm here to inquire, don't worry, things big and small here can't escape my eyes, come with me!" Sakura said and ran out.
"Aren't you going to change your clothes?"
"Don't change, it's easy to dress like this!"
Yang An followed Sakura through several streets, and suddenly turned into a courtyard, although it was night, Yang An still felt that this courtyard was very magnificent. The two of them went outside the room and whispered.
"How's the matter going?" An old man's voice was very majestic, and Yang An felt that he had been in the officialdom for a long time when he heard it.
"My lord, there is no way to check at all, all the human and physical evidence has been controlled by the prefect's yamen, we have no way to start, it seems that it is easy to handle only by taking over this case!"
"If I can take over, won't I take over sooner? The Lord Yushi you know is staring at me every day, and if there is a slight mistake, it will be over if the handle falls into his hands!"
Sakura immediately pushed open the door and said, "Lord Yu, why can't you take over?"
"Who are you?" asked Master Yu.
"Lord Yu is so forgetful, even I forgot!"
"Sakura-chan, why don't you stay in prison and run out? You know you're escaping from prison? I'm already messing up, and you're still here to make trouble!" said Lord Yu, slapped the table, and sat down.
"Lord Shangshu, we've been waiting for more than a month, since you're already here, why don't you rescue Lord Song's family first?"
"The court has a law, although this case was pressed by me in the criminal department and has not been closed, but if you want to overturn the case, you still need evidence. I have been careful and careful as an official all my life, so that I can live until now, and in the officialdom, I may lose my official position and lose my life at any time. ”
"I see, you're a big man for nothing, and Master Song is a fourth-class person, and you're not as timid as you when it comes to things!" Sakura said angrily.
"Don't compare me with him, he's a fourth-grade master, he is registered in front of the emperor, his deputy is from the first grade, and he also patrols the four roads, which is no different from Qincha, and the imperial history has to give him some face, I am different, although it is a first-grade product, I have to take a detour when I see the second-grade imperial history. Lord Yu also looked very aggrieved.
"That's right, who told you to work hard, if you are really like Lord Song, no imperial history will dare to check you! Forget it, your subordinates also said just now, there is no way to check it, you go and bail out the old lady first, and then check slowly, this is not embarrassing for you Lord Shangshu!" Sakura didn't seem to take Lord Yu in her eyes at all.
"Okay, who is this?" Lord Yu asked, pointing at Yang An.
"In Xia Yang'an, I've seen adults!"
"You are Yang An? That's easy, just waiting for you, Song Ci sent me a letter not long before he died, saying that if he had any accidents, he wanted me to find you, and now that you are here, you don't have to be released on bail, just prepare to overturn the case!"
"Ouch, Lord Shangshu, aren't you afraid of the Imperial History Mansion?"
"Sakura-chan, don't talk to Lord Yu like that, when are we leaving?" Yang An was a little anxious.
"Go now!" said Master Yu.
After a while, the entrance of the prefect's yamen was full of people. Lord Yu shouted: "Wang Kezhang, tell him to come out to see me!"
"Below, Yin Wang Kezhang of the Guangdong Mansion has seen Lord Shangshu, Lord Shangshu, please. ”
Saying that, Lord Yu, Xiao Sakura, Yang An, and a few others entered the mansion together.
Lord Yu said: "Wang Fu Yin, has Lord Song's family been imprisoned here?"
"That's right, I've already written to the Criminal Department for specific details, I wonder if adults can read it?"
"This official has already seen it, this time I came to deal with this matter, you let the Song family go, I will try this case!"
"To be honest, I also want to release Lord Song's family, but I didn't get the approval of the Criminal Department, I really didn't dare to release people, and now Lord Shangshu came in person, naturally it couldn't be better, my lord will do it immediately after the next paperwork!"
"There is no paperwork, there is an official seal, do you want it?"
"The lower officials don't dare!"
"I said, Lord Wang, you said that you deserve to be an official, what kind of case did you try, let's not talk about whether Lord Song died of poisoning, even if it was poisoned, their whole family of forty or fifty was poisoned? You arrested their family, how can you close the case? You still wait for the approval of the Criminal Department, it would be good if the Criminal Department doesn't want your head, and now this official has come to try it in person, don't you understand the meaning, you have to protect your head!" Lord Yu stepped down from the stage and said beside Wang Kezhang.
"Xia Guan understands, I don't want to do this, it's true that the murderer can't be found, everyone has the time to commit the crime, and all of them have no motive to commit the crime, and they all come over to confess, Xia Guan is stupid, so he can only arrest them all. Now the adults don't pursue the lower officials, the lower officials are grateful, and everything is arranged by Lord Shangshu!"
"Do you want paperwork?"
"No, no, no!"
"Ouch, Master Yu!" At this time, several more people walked in from outside.
Lord Yu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Lord Sun, your news is really well-informed, you came here as soon as I came!"
"Where, where, I happened to be here, thinking of this prefect's mansion to ask for a glass of water and wine, who knew that Lord Yu was also here, and the lower official gave Lord Yu luggage!" Sun Yanfa said and knelt down and saluted.
"No courtesy, how can I stand it, if you don't come to arrest me, I've already burned high incense!"
"So, my grandson is such an image in your hearts!"
"We're respecting you, brother!" said Master Yu and led Sun Yanfa to sit down.
"Master Yu, how did I just hear outside that there is a case that is going to be retried?" asked Sun Yanfa.
"Isn't it my brother-in-law Song Ci's case, Song Ci died, they arrested my brother-in-law's whole family, you say this is ridiculous or not, there is no way, I have to come and see it in person! It just so happens that Lord Yushi is also here, so I can be a witness, and it will be easy to talk in front of the emperor in the future!" Lord Yu knew what he meant, so he first made the relationship clear.
"This is natural, but Lord Yu is a bit of a public and private person doing this. The dignified Shangshu of the Criminal Department, for a small murder case, actually rushed from Lin'an to Guangdong in person, if it was for ordinary people, it would be just for his brother-in-law, this is ......" Sun Yanfa said that he would not say anything.
Master Yu said with a smile: "As a law enforcer, naturally you can't bend the law for personal gain, but you can't see your relatives wronged and not saved, right?"
"So, do you think Song Ci wasn't killed by his family?"
"Naturally not!"
"What if the results match the previous ones?"
"The old man is willing to admit his guilt!"
"Lord Yu is so courageous, what if my Sun doesn't let Lord Yu do this?"
"I think the old man has the final say here, if you have any problems, you can report to the emperor, your lord Yushi is indeed valued by the emperor, but the old man wants to find out the truth for the emperor, I think the emperor will still allow it!" Lord Yu flicked his sleeves and stood up.
"Lord Yu doesn't have to be angry, the lower officials are also thinking about you, you see that I have no grudges with you, aren't you afraid that if something unexpected happens, won't it have an impact on you? If you must investigate, I will stay and be a witness, no matter what the result is, as long as Lord Yu can handle it impartially, I will definitely report to the emperor truthfully, what do you think?"
"Isn't that what I mean? Besides, who would dare to stop you if you want to stay?"
"Xia Guan has another reminder to my lord, I see, Lord Song's family should not let it go yet, and it will be easy to spread the word when the time comes! Okay?" Sun Yanfa's tone softened a lot.
"You, you, you, Sun Yanfa, are really tricky, there is no human touch at all, I don't know how you got into today's position. ”
"There's no way, this is what Xia Guan did, Xia Guan followed the previous Yu Shi for nine years before he did the imperial history, and he saw a lot of regret and despair after the officials committed crimes. The former imperial history's ability to investigate and catch dirty cases is not strong, but the number of people who commit adultery has not been reduced, since I started as a royal history, I have put the goal before the official commits a crime, although this will offend many people, but as long as one person can be stopped, it is far stronger than investigating and dealing with a hundred after the fact. ”
Yang An, who had not spoken, had been listening carefully, and when he heard this, he suddenly felt that he was embarrassed. What a big mind this is, and himself, maybe only he knows himself best, he imagined that if he became a man under one person, above ten thousand people, he would definitely be ruthless for corruption, and how could he have the patience and mind to persuade like him. The two of them are together now, it seems that they are not much different, but the gap between the realm and the mind is too big!
"I didn't expect Brother Sun to have such a mind, although I don't have your realm, but I am by no means a corrupt official, Brother Sun, you are old!" Lord Yu said and left.
Back in the other garden, Sakura couldn't wait to say, "Lord Shangshu, I didn't expect you to be so bold, Sakura blamed you just now!"
"The reason why I dare to say this is because I really haven't done anything bad before. But if this matter is not handled well, he will still be caught, don't think that Lord Yushi is really a good person, even if he is really a good person, when he reaches this position, he is not much better. Master Yu said.
"I understand this section, are we going to investigate the case next?" Yang An said.
"Check, of course, check to the end. Go ahead!"
On the way back, Yang An asked, "Sakura, how did it happen, you tell me first." ”
One morning, the old lady got up as usual and went to the coroner's room to invite Lord Song to dinner, but when she went in, she found that there was no one, and a corpse had fallen to the ground. The old lady thought it was strange, this was a small autopsy room, and only two corpses could be parked, and there were corpses on both beds, where did the corpses on the ground come from? Later, the old lady lifted the white cloth and found that one of them was actually Lord Song. The matter immediately reached the ears of Lord Fu Yin, and he hurriedly sent a servant to come for an autopsy. As soon as he came, he said that he was poisoned, because his face was dark, and the composition of arsenic was also detected in the cup he drank from, and the silver needle was black, but when he examined his body with the silver needle, it did not turn black. Because many of the laws of the Great Song Dynasty were written by Lord Song himself, one of them is that those who are not black by a silver needle cannot be judged as poisoned, and there is no way for them. But the case could not be delayed again and again, Lord Fu Yin had no choice but to interrogate the people of the Song family, and there was nothing to do, but later someone confessed that the old lady had sent someone to Yaoxian Hall to buy arsenic, so Lord Fu Yin concluded that it was the old lady who did it, and wanted to imprison the old lady, this is a terrible situation, the whole house is forty or fifty people are vying to take the blame, and even the subordinates are coming to the guilt, and the prefect has no choice but to arrest the old lady's family!
"Did the old lady send anyone to buy arsenic?"
"I bought it, but Lord Song asked him to buy it. ”
"That's weird, was there anything special in the house before the accident, or did anyone sneak in?"
"Anyway, I didn't hear it, if that person is higher than my martial arts, it may not be, but as far as I know now, the only one who can be higher than my martial arts is Brother Yang! As for the strange things, it seems that there is no one, Lord Song has been at home since he had a headache during an autopsy, and even the ceremony arranged by the emperor to sacrifice to the heavens has been withdrawn! In this way, something happened after a month, and the strangest thing is that Lord Song lost his temper one day and said that he was going to burn the collection of grievances. You must know that burning the collection of grievances is not like burning a book, now this book has become a law, if it is burned, it is equivalent to burning the law of the Great Song Dynasty, which is a great crime of extermination, and the old lady persuaded the Song Dynasty for a long time before it was burned. ”
"Did Lord Song say why you want to burn it?"
"I didn't say it, even the old lady didn't know!"
"That's really no clue at all, and we don't even know if Lord Song is poisoned. Yang An was a little deflated.
"But I found another thing, that is, there are indeed a lot of masters here, there is one person who can't even I see how high the martial arts are, I checked for a few days, and found that they actually have dealings with the powerful ministers of the DPRK and China!"
"Jia Rudao?"
"It's probably him, we ruined his good deeds in Baiyunguan, he has no way to deal with the people in the rivers and lakes, Lord Song is in the imperial court, he is afraid that he will always want to find an opportunity to start!"
"I really don't want to have anything to do with the imperial court, but now I can't seem to put it aside, the ministers, the imperial history, and the Shangshu are all involved, I really hope to find out the murderer quickly, wash away the grievances for the master's family, and leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. ”
"Don't you want to see me so much, now that Sister Youqu is not here, she doesn't know even if you do bad things. Sakura said deliberately close to Yang An.
"You little girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Little girl, tell you, my nephew is much older than you, and my nephew's apprentices are almost the same as you!"
"Little children, don't talk nonsense, for if you lie, you will be eaten by wolves. Yang An said that he had returned to the inn.
