high official

Chapter 507
Although he knew that he couldn't escape, but after receiving the order, Hu Gai still turned gray all night.The emperor's meaning could not be more clear, that is, he will not give up until the verdict is reversed.But the turbulent public opinion between the government and the opposition, he, the Minister of Dali Temple, has also heard about it. The common people praised Yan Langzhong, Li Shangshu, Wang Butang and others who dared to uphold justice, saying that if the court officials were as unavoidable as these adults, Ax and Yue, there is hope for the Ming Dynasty.Several officials listened at home, and people came to visit and express their condolences every day. Although to avoid suspicion, they refused to meet at all, but the reputation of the few people is growing day by day, and they have become famous officials in the Yongle Dynasty.

Now the capital's eyes widened, waiting for his answer from Dali Temple Minister.Hu Gai was naturally facing an enemy, so he recruited more than [-] capable officials from Dali Temple to participate in the closed-door review. Ji Gang wanted to attend, but he refused to let him in. This seems to indicate that there is another good show to be staged!

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, a heavy rain washed away the heat of the capital, and the gate of Dali Temple was still closed, but the retrial of the case resulted in Hu Gai being quietly sent to the palace.After the previous two retrials supported the conclusions of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he finally made a verdict supporting the conclusions of the first trial of Jiangning County... In fact, he had already figured it out as early as the beginning of receiving the order. Absolutely not.Although it is said that people's hearts are like water and people's words are fearful, but one's own official position was given by the emperor, so what's the use of wanting people's hearts?Even if everyone says he is good, he cannot be promoted!Only the emperor's holy family is my hope for continuous promotion!
In addition, Jin Yiwei cannot be offended. Although Ji Gang will not help him get promoted, he can do him bad things.On the other hand, if you take the opportunity to sell Ji Gang's personal favor, you won't have to worry about Jin Yiwei's black hands in the future...

.

After reading Hu Gai's memorial, the gloomy expression on Zhu Di's face finally eased a little. He immediately agreed with Hu Gai's verdict, and gave advice on how to deal with several senior officials.

On the second day, the gate of Dali Temple, which had been closed for many days, finally opened, but instead of the much-anticipated public trial, a temple minister came out to post a notice that the murderer in the Shuiche Lane murder case was indeed Qi Dazhu, and he was sentenced to death.The victim's son, Zhang Gouzi, suffered innocently. The Ministry of Punishment paid him 50 taels of silver and released him in court.Yan Qing, a doctor of the Ministry of Punishment, was an official of the judiciary, who abused power and violated the law, disregarded human life, and sent him to Yunnan to serve as an army with eighty sticks.Neighbors Li and Wang of Zhang's family gave false testimony indiscriminately and went to Yunnan to join the army with Yan Qing.

As soon as the notice came out, the capital was in an uproar, but no one dared to challenge the authority of the emperor at this moment, so Qi Dazhu was escorted to the execution ground and beheaded that day.Qi's mother was so sad and angry that she hanged herself at home.As for the treatment of officials who maintained the law, although it was not announced on the spot, one of the two was demoted to be the magistrate of Nanping County, Fujian Province, and the other was demoted to Dangzhi County, Guangzhou...and died of illness on the way before arriving in Guangdong.

As for the two senior ministers, after all, they were important ministers of the imperial court. Zhu Di didn't feel too embarrassed, but let Liu Guan reflect behind closed doors at home.

The capital city has been paying attention to the case for a summer, and it finally ends with Ji Gang and his Jin Yiwei winning a big victory.The judiciary officials who opposed him were brutally demoted, and the government and the public were silent for a while, and no one wanted to mention this case.Unexpectedly, on the second day after Wang Xian took office, Yan Langzhong's wife came to Beizhen Fusi's door to complain... Wang Xian clearly felt this vortex that had been calm for a long time, and he was about to open his mouth again!
"My lord, if it's really embarrassing, we don't have to accept this case." After deeply realizing the danger of this case, Wu Wei backed down for Wang Xian: "After all, this case is not handled by our department first, and secondly. The emperor has also made the final judgment. If we retrial, aren't we questioning the emperor?"

"But this complaint is cleverly written. It is Zhang Gouzi who is suing for murder and Li Chun for covering up. These two are my subordinates, so I can ignore it?" Wang Xian said helplessly.

"Kick it to Fusi Nanzhen."

"They will send it back to our department for trial." Wang Xian said with a wry smile: "Did you notice earlier that this case also has a file in our department. Li Chun is still leading the investigation. It's okay if I don't redress the unjust prison now. If I want to redress the unjust prison , this case cannot be avoided..."

"This is difficult." Wu Wei scratched his head.He knew that this was indeed the case. If this mountain was not removed, Wang Xian would not be able to occupy the height of morality.Although it is also possible to go around and investigate other cases, but in the eyes of others, it becomes a dog that eats dog without right and wrong.It is very unfavorable to Wang Xian, who is outnumbered and needs the banner of justice to protect himself.

"It's called knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and walking toward the tigers." Wang Xian sighed and said, "Please come in, Mrs. Yan Liu."

After a while, a woman in her 30s with a plain dress and a haggard face came in and saluted Wang Xian slowly.Wang Xian watched the seat, and after she thanked her, she sat quietly on the chair with firm and persistent eyes.

"Yan Liushi, I have already read your pleadings." Wang Xian looked at the woman who should not have suffered much before and said, "This case has passed, why did you think of coming to me to sue?"

"My lord, my concubine's stay in Beijing is to avenge my master's grievances. I heard that the newly-appointed governor is jealous of evil, and he hates Ji Gang, Li Chun and others the most." Liu said softly: "This concubine is here."

"Who told you?" Wang Xian asked.

"It's a Jinyiwei officer who sympathizes with my husband."

"what is it call?"

"Forgive me, I can't tell you." Liu looked at Wang Xian vigilantly, worried that he would retaliate.

"Let's be honest, you have been used as a gun." Seeing Liu's assertiveness, Wang Xian decided to get straight to the point.

"What do you mean, my lord?" Liu asked puzzled.

"I just started to rectify this department today, and I want to settle the unjust prison." Wang Xian said indifferently: "Someone reminded you to file a complaint. My sister-in-law is well-educated, so you should understand their intentions, right?"

"This is..." As expected, Mrs. Liu did not give in to a woman, and she understood immediately: "Waiting Wei and saving Zhao?"

"Well said." Wang Xian nodded in praise: "I couldn't find such an appropriate idiom."

"Your Excellency is too much." Liu said in a daze, "In this case, I will apologize to Your Excellency." After saying that, she was about to get up and leave, and she really understood the righteousness.

"Already here, what's the use of leaving?" Wang Xian said leisurely, "I'll take this case."

"Your Excellency, aren't you afraid of 'surrounding Wei and saving Zhao'?" Mrs. Liu lowered her head.

"I only know that evil can never prevail against good!" When Wang Xian said this, he was ashamed and panicked. He really didn't expect that he, a little bastard, would finally raise the banner of justice. "This case is obviously that they are perverting the law to deceive the emperor. If I don't know about it, let it be. If I know, I must take care of it!"

"My lord..." Mrs. Liu has listened to discouraged persuasion in the past year, and this is the first time she has heard such encouraging words as Wang Xian.Tears welled up in her eyes, and she knelt down to him and said, "My concubine is my master, thank you sir."

"Sister-in-law, please." Wang Xian said solemnly: "It has been two years since this case, and the evidence has basically been annihilated. It is very difficult to reverse the case. Madam sister-in-law, don't worry."

"Yes." Mrs. Liu nodded respectfully, and said in a low voice, "Before my master was assigned, he said one thing. I wonder if it can help you."

"Please speak." Wang Xian cheered up.

"My master said that he was too tight at the time, and a key person was dismissed because he couldn't find it." Liu said, "That person is Zhang Gouzi's wife. After the case happened, she went back to live with her parents. I went, but my master issued a ticket and sent her a ticket, but she didn't arrive, and even sent the police to find no one, obviously she was hiding."

"What about now?" Wang Xian asked in a deep voice.

"She's been back a long time ago." Liu Shi said, "I don't know if it will be of any help to your lord."

"Very helpful." Wang Xianzhong nodded.

Only then did Liu stand up and give Wang Xianfu a blessing, and then retreated with Shuaihui.

.

"My lord, the difficulty of this case does not lie in the witnesses and material evidence, but in the emperor's will." Wu Wei frowned as soon as the person left. "Two years ago, the judiciary officials had a lot of evidence, but they were still defeated."

"It is said that a man from the state of Chu accidentally dropped his sword into the river when he was crossing a river in a boat. He carved a mark on the boat with a knife and said: 'This is where my sword fell.'" The so-called near ink is black, Wang Xianyue came The more he looked like old monk Daoyan, he smiled and said: "When the boat stopped, he jumped into the river along the marks to find the sword, but he couldn't find it anywhere."

"The story of carving a boat and seeking a sword..." Wu Wei said, "Three-year-olds have heard it too."

"What's the moral of this story?" Wang Xian rubbed his nose in embarrassment. He can't tell such uncommon stories as 'Astemina'.

"It means that things are constantly changing, and you can't look at things with old eyes." Wu Wei understood a little after finishing speaking, "What does your lord mean, the emperor will not necessarily protect them unprincipled like he did back then?"

"Well, the times have changed." Wang Xian said indifferently: "At that time, the emperor's favor for Jin Yiwei was at its peak. But in the past two years, Governor Ji made a lot of mistakes. Let alone Lu Jieyu Obviously, it was Ji Gang’s unjust imprisonment caused by torture. And the incident in Shanxi has already made the emperor doubt Ji Dudu.” He said with a smile: “Besides, I am also Jinyiwei now, and the palms of my hands and the backs of my hands are all It's meat, who will the emperor favor?"

"But the case was completely overturned under the pressure of the emperor." Wu Weidao: "If my lord succeeds in overturning the case now, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the emperor?"

"How about the Shanxi military ration case? How about the Meridian Gate fire case?" Wang Xian smiled and said, "I still have some experience on how to save face for the emperor. Besides, I don't need that reputation, as long as the emperor silently remembers Dudu Ji's words." Just a small account." Then he stood up, stretched his arms and said, "Water drips through stones, ropes saw wood, sooner or later, one day, Ji will make a list!"

Hearing this, Wu Wei couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Others were terrified from the bottom of their hearts when mentioning Ji Dudu, but his own adults dared to dig holes for Ji Gang from the very beginning.Although every pit can't deal with Ji Gang, but they can't help but keep digging. Sooner or later, the small pits will converge into a big pit, which will definitely bury Ji Gang!

　Two times and three times in a row, the account during the May [-]st period still owes three times...
