Chapter 105 This case and that case
At the Shuaisi Mansion in Hangzhou, Luo Shuaisi looked at the confessions and prisoners sent from Hengshan County, and listened to Zhu Counselor briefly describe the case.
Instruct Councilor Zhu to join Councilor Shan to hear the case. When Councilor Zhu goes out, he immediately orders to ask Deputy Envoy Guan to come.
Guan Quan arrived quickly. Luo Shuai Siping retreated from everyone, sat next to Guan Quan, and told the story of the obscene sacrifice in a low voice, "... I originally planned to catch up with the Xiansi Yamen tomorrow night, but now."
Luo Shuaisi let out a long sigh and told about the case he had just received from Hengshan County, "...for a case like this, at this time, he still doesn't forget about being framed by the party and trying to seize chestnuts from the fire. Alas! It's really...such a case for Xiansi
Yamen, I'm really worried. I asked Deputy Envoy Guan to come here because I want to ask Deputy Envoy Guan to help me. I'll start tonight and arrest a bunch of criminals."
Guan Quan nodded very simply and said: "Shuai Si's responsibility is also Guan's responsibility. Shuai Si just gives orders."
"Thank you very much!" Luo Shuaisi beamed with joy and hurriedly called for Senator Yao to come in. He pointed at Senator Yao and said, "Consultant Yao knows this case best. Tonight, you and Deputy Ambassador Guan will close the net and arrest the criminal."
." In the latter sentence, Luo Shuaisi gave the order to Councilor Yao.
Counselor Yao already knew about the case that Hengshan County had just handed over, and was worried about it. Seeing that Luo Shuaisi had arranged it like this, he breathed a sigh of relief and agreed repeatedly.
………………
In the middle of the night, with the cold wind howling, in the upper room in the small courtyard of Mingtao Villa, King Qin and Jin Zhuoyan sat down to play chess opposite each other.
The sound of footsteps could be heard from outside. Jin Zhuo stood up in a loud voice, rushed to the door in a few steps, and lifted the curtain.
The outside was very brightly lit by lanterns. Lu Yi, dressed in black, was crossing the yard and striding towards the main room. A gust of cold wind picked up the black cloak on his body, making it fly.
Jin Zhuoyan held the curtain until Lu Yi leaned forward and came in.
"How is it?" Jin Zhuoyan asked impatiently as he put down the curtain.
King Qin had also stood up, holding his breath and looking at the landing instrument.
Lu Yi met King Qin's gaze and said with a smile: "Catch them all in one fell swoop."
King Qin and Jin Zhuoyan breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
………………
Guo Sheng stayed in Hangzhou for two days, waiting for the results of both cases before returning to Hengshan County. He had lunch, washed and changed clothes, and went to the county government office to teach Li Wenlan and Li Xia.
Arrangements were made for Li Wenlan to endorse at the door, and Guo Sheng sat next to Li Xia and reported in a low voice the events of the past few days and the two cases.
"...The case of the obscene sacrifice was committed the night before yesterday. I heard from my uncle that it was deputy envoy Guan who led the arrest and brought to justice. Five principal criminals and sixteen accomplices arrived at the crime at the same time, and none of them slipped through the net. A lot of money was found.
I asked General Lu and told him the true facts of the case. The Commander-in-Chief's office had already secretly reported it to the court. The facts of the case were that they were committing adultery to obtain a son on the grounds of killing people. There was no mention of the five principal culprits.
Jie Hang, Yang and Chen's Hang, the other three, Ling Chi, and the sixteen accomplices will be executed."
Li Xia sat still and listened attentively to Guo Sheng's words.
Guo Sheng paused, thinking about the old woman he met in Xikou Town that day, and sighed softly, "There is no way to kill all sixteen accomplices..."
Guo Sheng's voice dropped, "General Lu said that as of now, more than 500 women have been found to have asked for a son from three places. Not everyone may be affected. However, once the news leaks out, anyone who has gone there will be affected."
We can only leave no one alive, otherwise, if something happens, it will be extremely tragic no matter how many years later."
Li Xia sighed lightly. Guo Sheng glanced at her in surprise, and his heart moved slightly. Did she pity these people?
"Another matter," Guo Sheng was distracted for a moment and hurriedly pulled him back, "The case in Xikou Town has also been closed. Hu Mingde and his brother Hu Da said in unison that it was Zhao who accidentally strangled his brother-in-law Zheng to death. Zhao made a plan.
Behead and make a decision.
Hu Mingde and Hu Da originally planned to be exiled for three thousand miles, but it was General Lu who made the decision and changed their plan to be exiled to the silver mines for ten years. No one could survive more than five years of hard labor in the silver mines.
Meng's official was sold into slavery. Zhao Hongqing was beaten twenty times.
Because he is related to the lewd priest, according to the Queen Mother's decree, he was dealt with together with the lewd priest and has been executed."
Li Xia lowered her eyes slightly. This case only involved Hu Mingde. Her guess was not bad at all. What the Queen Mother wanted was balance...
"I asked my uncle to see Luo Shuaisi. In this case in Xikou Town, Wu County Lieutenant's crime is unforgivable. Luo Shuaisi said that he has verified Wu County Lieutenant's corruption and illegal activities. He should write a letter to the county about today and tomorrow.
We're here, but it's just an evacuation."
Guo Sheng lowered his voice. Although the girl mentioned the word balance in advance about this matter, everyone on the other side was safe and no damage was done at all. This made him extremely angry. Even if he wanted balance, he had to pay for it.
A sufficient price.
"When will fifth brother come back?" Li Xia asked in a low voice after a long while.
"I will take a rest tomorrow and set off early in the morning to come back. The fifth master said that he will report Wutong's matter to the county magistrate in person and then deal with it." Guo Sheng replied in a low voice.
"Where is Qin Qing?"
"Come back together tomorrow."
Li Xia hummed, stopped talking, reached out to pick up the pen, slowly filled in the ink, lowered his head and began to write.
Guo Sheng looked at her for a moment, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Girl, the case in Xikou Town involved an innocent life. Although the Hu family was at fault first, three lives were involved at once..."
Li Xia didn't seem to hear it. Guo Sheng looked at her and swallowed back what he said. She was not necessarily a human being. She probably didn't care about human life, especially other people's...
"Girl, the Xiansi Yamen has so unscrupulously framed the county magistrates. If we just let it go and leave them unscathed, then next time, no one will dare to go to Hengshan County, or even dare to reach out to the fifth master."
The pen in Li Xia's hand paused slightly, and then he continued to write, "What do you want to do?"
"Lin Mingsheng can be let off, but the person in charge cannot be let off." Guo Sheng gritted his teeth and said.
"Well, if you can do it, go ahead."
"Yes." Guo Sheng's eyes flashed brightly, he stood up, took two steps to the side, then turned around, walked back to explain the case, sat down, held a book, and began to calculate in front of the book.
"Tell my father about this matter. It's better for him to know about the dangers of officialdom than not to know about it."
Guo Sheng was lost in thought when Li Xia suddenly said something. Guo Sheng subconsciously jumped up and stood up straight, looking at Li Xia who was lowering his head and writing, and Li Wenlan who was outside the house and was endorsement. He stayed for a moment, feeling a bit in a trance.
, He was too lost in thought just now. Why did the girl's voice feel like it was in his ears? Magical power?
After class, Guo Sheng packed up his things and came out. He passed by the signing room and stood at the door, looking directly at Magistrate Li who was sitting in the signing room, swinging his legs and reading a book leisurely. The girl was right, officialdom
