Chapter 118 Take what you need

Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi belong to the kind of people who are looking for excitement when they are idle, and ordinary thieves would not go to them. Now that they have finally met a few, they want to make a gesture. Having fun, Zhang Fei suddenly said that he would send these few to Kaifeng Mansion.

This aroused Cao Dongdong, Ma Xiaoyi's great interest.

Ever since, these two teasers escorted Niu Beiqing, Feng Nanxi, and Longshan to Kaifeng Mansion with drums and gongs.

Relying on Cao Dongdong's identity, he knocked on the door of Kaifeng Mansion.

It was the third watch now.

Lu Gong, who had already gone to bed, hurriedly got up again and rushed to Kaifeng mansion in a hurry.

"what happened?"

Lu Gong asked Huang Gui anxiously, "I heard that there are new clues in the Shijia case?"

The case was quickly politicized from the very beginning, and brought together the contradictions between imperial power and ministerial power, as well as the contradictions between innovation and conservative factions.

And these two major contradictions are the most acute contradictions in feudal society.

This is unsolvable.

It's still here now.

This is another problem, and it has come to Kaifeng Mansion again, Lu Gong will really go crazy.

It was with great difficulty that he threw the case to Dali Temple before, and after going around in circles, he returned to Kaifeng Mansion.

Really haunted!

The current situation, if not done well, will be out of control.

He was also extremely nervous, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

Huang Gui nodded and said: "Just now Cao Yanei and Ma Xiaoyi sent these three people, saying that these three people tried to steal sister-in-law from Zhang San's house."

"Stealing sister-in-law?" Lu Gong didn't know why.

Huang Gui hurriedly said: "That's what Cao Yanei said. After our cross-examination, it turns out that the names of these three people are Feng Nanxi, Niu Beiqing, and Long Shan."

Lu Gong frowned and said, "These three names sound familiar!"

Huang Guidao: "They are the ones who escorted the official silver with Shi Dalang."

"Yes, yes, yes! I remembered." Mr. Lu slapped his forehead several times, and asked again: "Didn't you say they are all dead? Or, are they really the ones who stole the official money?"

The case was judged as dereliction of duty at the time, but since the body was not found, the government also reserved the possibility of self-stealing.

Huang Gui shook his head and said, "Prefect, this case is not that simple."

As he spoke, he handed some confessions to Lu Gong, "This is their confession."

Lu Gong looked at it, and couldn't help saying angrily: "It's really unreasonable, you go and find Zhang Fei for me immediately."

Four watch.

Zhang Fei came to Kaifeng Mansion.

At this time Li Kai also rushed to Kaifeng Mansion.

"Xiaomin met Li Tongpan, the prefect of Lu."

".!"

Lu Gongzhu and Li Kai looked at Zhang Fei without saying a word.

Zhang Fei didn't make a sound.

Lu Gong suddenly restrained his momentum, sighed and said: "Zhang San, Zhang San, you really took great pains to tease such a big circle, but you still want to help them avenge their grievances!"

Zhang Fei pretended to be confused and said: "Xiaomin doesn't know what the magistrate is talking about?"

Li Kai snorted and said: "Then Longshan is the groom you were going to from Baifan Building before, Mrs. Ni and Shi Erlang both know him, don't you know?"

Zhang Fei groaned: "I just said why Longshan left as soon as Shi Erlang came to my house, so that's what happened! It's so dangerous! It's so dangerous!"

Just this acting?

Li Kai didn't want to watch it anymore, the lazy yamen servant at the door, his acting skills are [-] times better than him!

How can Mr. Lu believe it? You have too many loopholes. He doesn't believe that Zhang Fei used all the rigor in the lawsuit. "It seems that you don't plan to say it."

Zhang Fei said: "It's not that Xiaomin doesn't want to say it, but he doesn't know where to start. Xiaomin also really wants to know what the truth is."

Lu Gong nodded and said: "Since you don't want to say it, then you can go back!"

"Xiaomin retire."

After Zhang Fei left, Li Kai couldn't help saying: "It seems that we wrongly blamed him before. It turns out that he didn't come to add trouble to us, but to help us reduce the burden."

The layout of this bureau is full of loopholes, obviously to tell them that this is not a conspiracy, this is the condition, I only want the truth.

If you don't give me justice, then I will never end with you.

Anyway, I'm just an ass, at worst, I'm going to die.

You are different.

Lu Gong wrote, but sighed: "Then Wang Jiefu is right, many problems have reached the point where they have to be dealt with."

For such a simple case, why Zhang Fei made it so complicated, Mr. Lu knew better than anyone else!

If you don't make such a fuss, will the Kaifeng government take it so seriously?

will not.

This is definitely institutionalized robbery. If this law is not changed, it will be difficult for the government to judge.

But now it's different.

That night, the Kaifeng Mansion ordered people to arrest and interrogate the cao officer who was escorted by the official bank.

And at dawn, the case was known all over the city.

For the court officials, they don't think it's an extra problem, but they think it's another village!

This lawsuit has been fought until now, and the emperor's stance has already been very unfavorable to them on the political level.

If at this time, they can quickly return to criminal affairs, it will of course be very beneficial to them!

The point is that they are not stupid, Zhang Fei clearly wants to intimidate them.

You said it earlier!

Why make such a big deal.

Don't you just want the truth?

Don't you just want a Cao Guan?

Are you going to pierce the sky?

As a result, all the ministers in the DPRK and China were filled with righteous indignation and awe-inspiring justice.

Check carefully!

Must be scrutinized!

Be sure to check clearly and clearly.

Never let a bad guy go.

It can be described as a common enemy!

They have only one request, to end the case quickly.

For such a small case, with the support of civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty, the Kaifeng Mansion naturally let go.

Who dares to stop?

Arrogant transshipment company?

The transport envoys were the first to take the initiative to plead guilty.

You should know that the results have not yet been found out.

After some severe torture, all the Cao officials were recruited.

A total of five officials were involved in this case, and the masterminds were Chen Jing, the magistrate of the Duzhi Division, Liu Shang, the warehouse manager of the Sinong Temple, and three minor officials from the Transshipment Division.

Kaifeng House.

"When our people arrived, they had all hanged themselves." Huang Gui said to Lu Gong.

Lu Gong was surprised and said: "So fast?"

Huang Gui didn't make a sound, but just nodded.

Mr. Lu frowned again and asked, "Are you sure it was suicide?"

Huang Gui nodded and said, "Wu Zuo has already checked, and they are all confirmed."

Lu Gong looked solemnly at the five corpses covered in white cloth in front of him. After a while, he couldn't help sighing: "If Zhang Fei hadn't sued the court first, this case would be really difficult to solve!"

Hanging Palace.

"5000 taels! 5000 taels can make my ministers murder for money, what use are you waiting for?"

Zhao Xu threw the memorial of Kaifeng Mansion down and became furious in the hall.

This is really not pretending, he is really angry, it is already too much for the imperial court to confiscate the house at every turn, but there is still a law to follow, doing so will prevent the guards from stealing themselves, but this law has side effects.

But the truth is that someone changed the way to confiscate the servants' wealth and enrich their own pockets.

Tang Jie and other ministers from relevant departments immediately stood up and pleaded guilty.

The case left them all angry and ashamed.

Too much.

Wang Anshi suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about why this little judge and a warehouse official dared to kill someone?"

Zhao Xu immediately asked, "What do you think?"

Wang Anshi said: "I think that everything is based on this law, which is an evil law. Those corrupt officials know that the court usually does not investigate such cases. After all, the court has also benefited from it, so they dare to do evil.

The source of this evil does not lie in people, but in the law. Therefore, it is difficult for the court to put an end to this matter with severe punishment. In my opinion, only by promoting the advantages and eliminating the disadvantages, and reforming the law, can the future troubles be eliminated forever. "

Lu Gong immediately stood up and said: "The minister seconded the proposal."

What Wang Anshi said was exactly what he thought.

Because for the imperial court, only by convicting those yamen servants can they confiscate their property and ensure that they do not lose money, so the imperial court will not strictly investigate such cases.

Chen Shengzhi and many other officials also stood up to support Wang Anshi.

The case has indeed aroused the anger of many people, and they all feel that it is time to change everything.

If it goes on like this, it's worth it.

Zhao Xu glanced at Sima Guang suddenly.

Sima Guang had no choice but to stand up and express his support for the reform.

In fact, these words were not against his will. He did not expressly support Wang Anshi's reform.

Many ministers stood up again and expressed their support for the reform of the servant law.

Zhao Xu glanced at him: "In my opinion, even if the real culprit of this case is severely punished, it will be difficult to quell public grievances. Therefore, prefect Lu."

Mr. Lu stood up immediately, "The minister is here."

Zhao Xu said: "After the trial of this case, Kaifeng Mansion must make an announcement to the world, saying that the imperial court will carry out reforms on the servant law within this year."

The little emperor also has some tricks, which is obviously to prevent them from reneging on their debts, so let's announce it first.

Lu Gong said: "I obey the order."

The ministers shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Among them are Tang Jie, Lu Hui and other conservative backbones.

In fact, what they are fighting for is not whether to reform, but how to reform.

After all, the emperor hadn't finished the matter yet, announcing the launch of Wang Anshi's reform on the spot, there is still room for maneuver.

But everyone knew in their hearts that the emperor must have started Wang Anshi's reform.

If you want to fight, you have to fight again at that time.

As for this case, the trial was actually about the same. The mastermind and the accomplices all committed suicide in fear of crime. Now it is up to Zhang Fei to accept the result.

After all, Zhang Fei's fight is not a criminal case, but the law of the ancestors.

So Lu Gongzhu called Zhang Fei to Kaifeng mansion again and showed him the trial results.

After Zhang Fei finished reading, he asked, "Are they really the masterminds?"

Lu Gongzhu sighed, and said: "To tell you the truth, this official is not sure, maybe it is, maybe it is not, I have suspected it before, but the clues are indeed broken on the five of them."

He didn't dare to hide it from Zhang Fei, who knows how many clues this kid has.

Zhang Fei hesitated.

Lu Gong did not make a sound.

He knew that Zhang Fei would most likely agree.

Because it is impossible for the imperial court to recognize the "ancestral law" in his mouth, if the lawsuit continues, although it will not lose, it is impossible to win.

The Kaifeng government has also done its best, and it will be very difficult to continue the investigation.

Zhang Fei saw that Lu Gong was silent when he died, and knew that he had no conditions to negotiate, so he nodded and agreed.
