Chapter 147 Flaws
Gao Chengduan bowed and saluted: "Report to the deputy envoy, there is conclusive evidence!"
Xu Ping stood up and said to the two of them: "Follow me to the official hall and tell me in detail!"
After entering the chief hall of the Salt and Iron Department, Xu Ping turned around and asked Zheng Jian and Gao Chengduan: "What evidence did you seize Cui Youde? Is it reliable? There must be no mistakes!"
Zheng Jian was a little discouraged: "This time I rely on Gao Chengduan, but fortunately I brought him with me."
Gao Chengduan took out a handover from his body and placed it on the table, and said to Xu Ping: "Deputy envoy, this is one of the so-called fake handovers in Jinzhou Jinshi. Of course, this is still recorded by me, and the original item is still detained for the goods. With this handover, it is enough to show that all these fake handovers were made from the goods, not the Jinshi collected from other places. In other words, when the Jinshi went to the goods business to exchange money, it was still really handovers, and later was transferred by the public official in the goods business."
Xu Ping held the entries in his hand, looked left and right but couldn't see any name, so he had to put them on the table again and asked, "What's the special thing about this entries? I didn't see any name."
Gao Chengduan said: "There is no flaw in the transfer itself, and it is very similar to the genuine product. It is not that there are many inspection methods for the goods service, so it is difficult to identify the authenticity. The reason why this transfer is special is that Danzhou said that such a batch of transfers was sent, but it was not sent later. Jinzhou Jinshi collected the transfer from Hedong Road. No matter whether it is true or false, it is impossible for such transfers to be sent out. Danzhou's writing has already reached the goods service, and there is a record of this transfer in the goods service. It should be that Cui Youde made some mistakes when making fake transfers, and he made this fake transfer that did not exist at all."
Transfers are not hard currency, but a kind of bill and voucher. When issuing along border prefectures and counties, relevant documents will be sent to the capital, especially in the defrauding of goods. The documents contain some agreed secret notes, and also inspection methods such as printing and silhouettes. Each transfer is unique and will be invalidated after being redeemed. This is also a means to prevent fraud.
This transfer was issued by Danzhou, Shaanxi Road. Before the issuance, there was a document to the goods service, and the foundation was left there. But later, due to various reasons, Danzhou did not actually issue this batch of transfers, and the foundation for the goods service was not invalidated. Since Danzhou has not been issued, then it should be not to mention that the real transfers cannot be purchased on the market, and the fake transfers cannot be produced. By chance, Cui Youde may have left such a flaw in accordance with the basic system of goods service.
This kind of flaw is not extremely difficult for an insider to discover, that is, Gao Chengduan is a veteran official of the Three Departments for many years. He is clear about all kinds of joints so that he can find a breakthrough in this inconspicuous place.
Xu Ping asked Zheng Jian next to him: "You can check it clearly. Danzhou did not issue this transfer?"
"It's absolutely impossible to be wrong, because I found the official documents from Danzhou and clearly stated that the transfer will not be issued. We have also read the records of Jinshi Jinshi when he exchanged the transfer. At first, I only remembered that there was a transfer from Danzhou, and the details later were supplemented by the goods service." Zheng Jian did not hesitate at all, "This fake transfer can only be made by the people in the goods service service, and there is no other possibility!"
When exchanging the goods, the public officials who deal with the goods will roughly record the types and place of issuance, but often remember not in detail, and they will record in detail when there is time later.
Xu Ping only felt a long breath, and the depression over the past few days finally saw hope.
After walking out of the official hall quickly, Xu Ping asked the public officials who were guarding the side: "Have you transferred the results of the trial of Jinshi in Kaifeng Prefecture for Jinzhou?"
"Report to the deputy envoy, not yet."
"Urgent! You go to Kaifeng Prefecture now and ask what the result is!"
The public official agreed and turned around and ran.
It was not until the sun sets west and the sky is full of rays, and the trial results of Kaifeng Prefecture came out.
Cui Youde refused to plead guilty and insisted that those fake exchanges were owned by Jinzhou Jinshi. He was discovered when he received the money from the goods business. The failed Jinshi was falsely accused him of him.
Cheng Lin used up all the means, but she couldn't let Cui Youde speak. She had no choice but to temporarily put the prison in prison, and the record of the prison was empty.
The public officials are in the yamen every day, and they have seen many methods, so it is not easy to interrogate. Cheng Lin has no strong evidence in his hands, so how could an elderly official admit defeat? Furthermore, the Jujuan branch office is divided into departments, and although the prosecutor in charge of the trial is under Cheng Lin's subordinate, the case trial still has his own nature, especially in places like Kaifeng Prefecture, the prefect cannot cover the sky with one hand.
After hearing the result, Xu Ping called Liu Han, Sima Chi and Wu Zunlu to his chief office to discuss what to do next. With Cui Youde's breakthrough, he naturally had to find a way to pry open his mouth.
Liu Heng smiled and said, "It's a coincidence. In the morning, the deputy envoy asked me to send someone to investigate Cui Youde's house. He happened to see his wife being teased by a young colleague. If Cui Youde was left in prison, his wife and daughter's family business would probably be someone else."
After hearing this, Xu Ping asked, "What's the relationship between Cui Youde and his wife?"
"I heard from the neighbors around him that he was very loving. His wife was asking for the daughter of a destitute businessman. She has been knowledgeable since childhood and has a little bit of color. Cui Youde should love her as much as her baby."
Xu Ping nodded and looked at Wu Zunlu: "I'm afraid that there will be an opportunity to go there in Kaifeng Prefecture. You are the prosecutor there, and it should not be difficult to see someone committing crimes. Tell Cui Youde that his death penalty will inevitably be avoided this time, but if the situation of collusion between public officials is brought out, the government can protect his wife and daughter from being safe and not insulted. If he is interested, his family wealth can be left without an official position, either hand it over to his wife or go to the school tent to serve as a dowry for his daughter in the future. Otherwise, all the family wealth will be confiscated, and as for his wife and daughter, he is afraid that it will fall into the hands of others from now on."
The school inspection database is specially set up in the capital for orphans. For orphans whose parents die, in order to prevent their family wealth from being swallowed up by relatives, the government will receive the school inspection database and pay monthly living expenses. When the orphan grows up, the remaining family wealth will be returned. If the father dies and the mother remarries, the property will be collected in addition to the mother's dowry, and the child will be returned when he grows up.
The inspection and school warehousing is compulsory, and there is no need to apply for orphans to enforce orphans. This is also a policy to protect orphans’ rights. There are exceptions in everything, and the effect of this policy on officials is satisfactory, but it is hard to say for civilians and minor officials like Cui Youde. Xu Ping made this guarantee because Cui Youde’s heart.
Wu Zunlu thought for a while and said, "This matter is not difficult. The patrolman is my subordinate no matter how much he said it. However, if Cui Youde agrees, what should I do? I see that it is not difficult for him, but I can't raise it."
Xu Ping said: "Just ask him to write a letter of writing, write down the situation of collusion between officials, draw a picture of the fictional seal, and bring it back. With his letter of writing, I will find a way to do other things." To be continued.
