Chapter 118 File
Ye Qinghuai looked at the ginseng plant, paused for a while, and said, "Du Qing has a heart."

After she said this, Li Baoquan stepped forward to take the wooden box from Du Jing's hand, and then retreated.

"I see you brought some volumes, what are they?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

Du Jing picked up the volumes from the case table and said, "Return to Your Majesty, these are the relevant case files of the Jinchuan spies who were arrested in Beijing and Central China in the past two years."

"Oh? What are you doing for me with this?"

"Your Majesty, it's like this. The Jingzhao Mansion applied to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to obtain these files, saying that they were for the investigation of Gu Haiwang's case and needed to be used to obtain evidence. It's just that these files are highly confidential, and I dare not make decisions without authorization. But the case of Gu Haiwang was ordered by His Majesty to be heard by the Jingzhao Mansion, so I thought I would bring these case files to His Majesty for a review, and His Majesty will make a decision."

After finishing speaking, Du Jing respectfully sent the thick stack of case files to Ye Qinghuai.

Ye Qinghuai looked at the pile of case files in front of him, and thought: I finally got to the point.

She picked up the topmost case file and looked through it. The case file organized by the Ministry of Criminal Justice was very professional, and it recorded all the confessions and evidence descriptions in detail. There were hundreds of signed confessions in one case alone.

Ye Qinghuai frowned slightly, then looked up at the remaining case files that Du Jing was holding, the pile of case files was so high that he buried his head behind the files.

Ye Qinghuai couldn't help the corners of her eyes twitching.

No wonder there are so many.

If she reads all of them, it will take at least a month.

"Jingzhao Mansion wants all these files?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

"Jingzhao Mansion needs to check the connection between Wang Siyun and the Jinchuan spies based on Gu Haiwang's confession, and then interrogate him. There is no relevant information for screening, so all the case files need to be retrieved." Du Jing's answer was tight.

"Then what if the Ministry of Criminal Justice is allowed to participate in the review and cooperate with Jingzhao Prefecture Yin in the trial?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

Du Jing paused for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, most of the cases involving spies from neighboring countries involve military and political secrets. With the rank and rank of Jingzhao Prefecture Governor, it is not allowed to attend."

"Du Qing means that the criminal department can't assist in the investigation of this case?" Ye Qinghuai's voice became a little colder.

Du Jing was overwhelmed by her power, lowered her head a little, but did not retreat in words, said: "Yes."

Ye Qinghuai's expression sank, and she closed the file in her hand with a "snap".

"Du Qing, you are the Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, let me tell you what you think about this case of Gu Haiwang." Ye Qinghuai asked, her tone could be called calm.

"The principal culprit in this case, Gu Haiwang, is a third-rank official and involves national defense secrets. As usual, the Ministry of Criminal Justice should be in charge of the trial, and Jingzhao Prefecture should assist in the trial." Du Jing replied.

"Then Gu Haiwang was accused of robbing the girls, what do you think?"

Du Jing thought about his wording, and replied: "Your Majesty, the minister did not participate in the trial of this case, and there is no basis for empty words, so there is no conclusion."

Du Jing originally worked all the way from the criminal name of Jingzhao Mansion, and he is very familiar with the daily operations of Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Criminal Justice, as well as the various rules in the Criminal Law Department. It is very difficult to find loopholes from him.

Ye Qinghuai recently spent time researching his resume, knowing that she was no match for him in terms of departmental cooperation and the case itself, so she went straight to the conclusion: "In short, Du Qing believes that this case should be transferred by the Jingzhao Mansion. It is more appropriate to give it to the Ministry of Punishment for trial."

"Yes." Du Jing stood up straight, still holding the stack of files in his hands, expressionless.

There was an awkward silence between the monarch and his subjects, as if both were waiting for the other to let go first.

After a while, Ye Qinghuai suddenly smiled and said: "To be honest, I also know that it is more appropriate to hand over this case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Hearing this, Du Jing raised her eyes to look at Ye Qinghuai, with some unconcealable joy in her eyes.

Ye Qinghuai changed the subject, and said earnestly, "I'm just worried that you won't be busy."

Du Jing was startled.

"The case of the joint trial of the three divisions has not yet been concluded, and there is still no explanation for Lan Fei's death. These two major cases involved many officials. Recently, the Ministry of Criminal Justice has lost Qian Deliang as a servant, and I will entrust you with the case of Gu Haiwang. I'm afraid you'll be too busy and delay several cases, then the loss outweighs the gain."

After Ye Qinghuai finished speaking, she looked at Du Jing meaningfully.

Du Jing is so clever, he immediately understood the meaning of her words.

"The case of the joint trial of the three divisions has been concluded, and all the people involved in the case are in the trial. The trial will be completed this month." He paused, and then said, "The death of Empress Lan Fei is the abuse of lynching by the Punishment Division. As a result, the facts of the case have been largely clarified, but several criminals from the Punishment Department were silenced, and it will take some time to collect evidence."

What he said was serious, as if it was true.

Ye Qinghuai's expression changed drastically. She slammed the table, stood up and said angrily, "Do you think I'm blind or stupid? The Punishment Division doesn't even have a sword. Tell Zhen Lanfei that the sword on her chest is a prudent sentence." Was it stabbed by someone from the department?"

Ye Qinghuai is tall, she stood up suddenly, which surprised Du Jing, he was about to speak up to defend himself, but Ye Qinghuai continued: "Concubine Lan is my first concubine, and also my only one. A concubine, if you don't understand her murder case, I will investigate it myself!"

Her words were very serious, Du Jing quickly put down the file in her hand, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, calm down."

Ye Qinghuai looked at his figure kneeling on the ground for a long time, then calmed down a bit, sat down, and asked: "Du Jing, you have been tortured for so many years, have you seen the methods of torture with your own eyes?"

Du Jing hesitated for a while, and said, "I have seen it."

His voice was a little hoarse.

"If you have seen it with your own eyes, you should know why I am angry." After Ye Qinghuai finished speaking, she leaned back on the back of the chair and stared at him coldly.

Du Jing lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, it is impossible to determine the truth based on the murder weapon alone. What is going on in this case and who killed Concubine Lan, I will definitely find out the truth, so as to comfort Concubine Lan's spirit in heaven. "

"The Punishment Department may use torture, but they don't get the information they want, so they won't kill people hastily." Ye Qinghuai looked at Du Jing who was about to speak, interrupted him, and said, "You don't have to make up anything with me anymore. The story is over, I know why you came today."

Seeing that Ye Qinghuai took the initiative to point out, Du Jing also restrained his respectful appearance, and a gloomy light flashed in his eyes.He looked at Ye Qinghuai like an eagle licking its prey.

Ye Qinghuai had no fear on her face, she said unhurriedly: "But there are so many good things in this world. Du Shangshu must know the truth that you can't have both."

After finishing speaking, she took out Gu Haiwang's longevity lock from her waist, and slowly placed it on the desk between the two of them.
