Dayong Nu sentenced to death

"Lord Cao?"

The figure approached, Cao De'an's official robe was wet, he straightened the gauze cap on his head with his hands, stopped three meters away to get dressed, and after tidying up, his breath calmed down a bit, he came closer and bowed, "Your official Cao De'an see Master Yan."

"Don't be too polite."

Yan Yun nodded slightly, and glanced at him lightly, "What's wrong with Mr. Cao? You made it look like this?"

Cao De'an patted on the robe awkwardly, and said with a wry smile: "Master Lao is worried that he bumped into the people who brought the corpse on the way here, so..."

Pulling him to ask about the case of the prostitution house, the umbrella fell to the ground and was trampled to pieces during the pushing, and he also fell into the mud.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, all the officials couldn't help laughing secretly.

Yan Yun said: "The rain is cold and cold, Mr. Cao should go change his clothes first, and report back later if there is anything to do."

Hearing this, Cao De'an buried his head even lower, "The officer only has a few words to say to the girl, and he will leave after finishing speaking."

Came to find her?

Su Rao was a little surprised, Yan Yun didn't say anything more when he heard this, "You guys discuss it, I still have some official documents that I haven't reviewed, so I'll go back first."

This was said to Su Rao.

"Young master, walk slowly."

"Ah."

Yan Yun held the umbrella and turned around, the corner of the robe embroidered with lotus patterns under the moonlight of bamboo and moon was tinged with coolness in the drizzle, Cao De'an hurriedly said: "I will send you off respectfully."

But he didn't leave immediately, instead he looked at the crowd of officials and said in a low voice, "My lords, stay here, take a good look and see clearly."

"The subordinate obeys the order."

They responded with complex expressions, watched Yan Yun's figure disappear into the depths of misty rain, and then chattered like sparrows.

What does Shizi mean?
Handle official duties well, suddenly bring them here and leave on their own, and let them take a good look, what are you looking at?
Look at these people playing tricks, sitting on the ground and mourning?
"There is a pile of official documents from the office waiting to be processed. We are wasting time here, and we have to stay up late at night with the lights on. What is this?"

"Stop complaining, your city ship department is almost done with the investigation, but there are still a lot of troubles in our military treasury, the replacement and purchase of new and old utensils, maintenance and filing, which one does not need anyone?"

"That's right, I heard that a group of good horses at the Anyang Racecourse got sick, and it seemed that they couldn't bear it anymore. The priest and the horse doctor got angry. If something happened, I don't know how many people would lose their heads. .”

"Their lives are more valuable than human gold..."

The officials chatted in front of Su Rao and Cao De'an, but they didn't understand Yan Yun's intention of letting them stay here.

Su Rao was too lazy to listen to their gossip, and found a secluded yard with Cao De'an, and ordered someone to bring some ginger tea and clean handkerchiefs.

"My lord, let's get rid of the cold air first."

She pushed the tea bowl to Cao De'an's hand, and Cao De'an hurriedly said with a smile: "This is such a troublesome girl, it's really rude."

"It's not troublesome. The temperature has dropped sharply during this period, and the mansion always has these."

Cao De'an took a veil to wipe off the water droplets on his face, took a sip of ginger tea, and suddenly felt a hot current go down the throat into the stomach, warming the whole body.

He slowed down for a while, and when his breath calmed down, he looked at Su Rao and said, "Girl, the prince said that this case will be handed over to you, so I don't know what rules the girl has in mind?"

The case was delayed again and again, and the anger of the people almost burned the government office.

"The evidence of the Mei family's case is in hand and can be tried at any time, but I suggest waiting a day or two."

"Wait?"

Cao De'an was terrified when he heard this word now, "Why this time?"

"He Ciwen is dead, and He Gongze was convicted in the case of the Mei family, but what about the debts of more than two hundred lives in the prostitution hall?"

Her question stumped Cao De'an, "The principal culprit is dead, what else can I do?"

"What if the principal culprit is not dead?"

"What do you mean?"

Cao De'an was startled, he didn't even care about wiping the rain, and directly squeezed the handkerchief into a pile.

Seeing his situation, Su Rao said in a low voice: "Half a month before the operation of the prostitution hall, the He family brothers separated, and He Gongze used the Nankang pawnshop and the Guo family bank to launder silver money, and walked away nearly 40 taels intermittently for several years. account."

"And the source of these accounts is impossible to verify."

"Coincidentally, He Zhiwen used the false name of Bai Mao to communicate with both places, and the timing and amount of the account discrepancies happened to match."

Cao De'an understood what these meant.

He stood up abruptly, and said in surprise, "Is He Gongze secretly manipulating the prostitution hall?"

"Well, seven or eighty-eight of the evidence has been collected."

Su Rao met his gaze and said, "So I'll let you wait for a day or two, and the two cases will be tried together."

"public trial?"

Cao De'an was not calm, and said suspiciously: "I don't quite understand what the girl means."

"This case has attracted the attention of the whole city. There are many victims and the people are excited. It is not something that you can calm down with just one judgment."

Su Rao rubbed the edge of the teacup with her finger. Although she was smiling, her smile was a little cold: "I mean, move the court to the execution ground, try the case, prosecute the crime, seal the case, sentence, and execute it to the end!"

"Not only that."

"Yin Xuewei also arrested some people, all of whom were involved in the murder of the prostitution hall..."

As soon as she said this, Cao De'an interrupted her, anxiously said: "Girl, I have heard about this, but most of these are the children of officials and eunuchs, if I really want to kill them all, I'm afraid..."

"Master Cao is afraid?"

Su Rao looked at him with a raised eyebrow and a smile.

Cao De'an's clothes were wet and stuck to his body, and the coolness swept over him one after another, and he felt the bone-chilling cold at this moment.

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that if you act so decisively, it's hard to offend everyone... A family and two families may be fine, but if they are twisted together, even if it's the eldest son, you have to weigh it..."

"Master Cao!"

Su Rao couldn't help but accentuate her tone, "It seems that you haven't figured it out until now, the bones of the prostitution hall are deeply buried, and hundreds of people died."

"This is a shocking case that can shock the imperial court. The inspector took the lead in prostitution and murder, and the local officials shielded each other and formed a group to cause chaos!"

"What they have violated is the criminal law of our court, the bottom line of His Majesty, the country and the country, and the foundation of the people!"

Su Rao's words became more serious than each sentence, and the sound was like thunder, which made Cao De'an turn pale, and staggered back two steps.

She stood up slowly, the smile faded from her eyes, her phoenix eyes scratched like ice knives, and she said coldly: "Remember, it's not the prince who wants to kill them, but the imperial court wants to kill them, it's the common people and the innocent souls who want to kill them." kill them!"

Facing the fierce eyes, Cao De'an was stunned for a moment, his Adam's apple rolled down, and he said in a shy voice, "My lord, remember."

"Everything is arranged by the girl!"

The rain was pouring down from the eaves, and the cool chill rushed in through the wide-open doors and windows, rolling up the sleeves of the two people's clothes.

Seeing Cao De'an's gloomy face, Su Rao realized that her tone was a bit harsh, so she calmed down a bit, "Master Cao, sit down, just tell me about the situation in the prison, has He Gongze confessed the person behind it, and Mei Han... "

The wind and rain are sudden, and the voice of the people fades away.

This autumn rain was deep, rolled with rotten leaves and dead branches, and sent the chill to every corner of Yunzhou. Some people hoped that it would stop, and some people hoped that it would come more violently...
