"Every time I come to Zhenjing, there will be trouble." Ding Kui complained, hugging Long Yan.
"Grandpa's last words are for you to advance to the Master Knight before returning to Zhenjing City. Before that, I'm afraid this place is not suitable for you. I haven't had any big trouble running the mahjong parlor here."
Long Yan needs to learn the ancestral precepts of the Ding family, and Ding Dao's words are a key point.
"It seems that you are suitable for the capital city. If I get Juyang City as my territory, will you stay here or go to Juyang City?" Ding Kui asked Long Yan for his opinion.
"No, I want to be with you. Although the capital city is prosperous, it doesn't feel like our home. Now that Butler Jiang is taking care of it, I don't have to worry about the mahjong parlor." Long Yan was actually bored staying alone in Zhenjing City.
"It's up to you." Ding Kui wanted to use practical actions to compensate for his wife's emptiness.
Yangqia didn't stay up until dawn and died in the middle of the night. His family went to the lobby of the Secretary's Office to file a complaint early the next morning, accusing Ding Kui of beating Yangqia to death.
This time, neither the Department of Internal Security nor the Department of Intelligence paid attention to Ding Kui's case, but the Imperial Household's Health and Inspection Department and the Senate's Fengwentang sent personnel to the Department of Legal Affairs, claiming to assist in handling the case but actually supervising the investigation and trial process of the case.
Ding Kui killed and injured several people on the street. Many people witnessed the whole process. The truth can be easily investigated. According to the laws of the kingdom, Ding Kui can be found not guilty.
"Master Bao, the case of Ding Kui beating Yang Qia to death is difficult to handle." Cui Shuo bit the bullet and came to the Minister of Legal Affairs.
"If there is anything difficult to handle, let the process be reviewed clearly and the sentence will be whatever is appropriate. If he uses the immunity gold medal, you will record it and attach it to the file. I will send it to the King's Tribunal." Bao Tu heard Ding Kui's words.
The name is uncomfortable.
"It's not easy to go to trial. The eldest princess was also at the scene of the crime. Yang Qia instigated his subordinates to kill the eldest princess when she was killed. The inspection office denied it but admitted that there was an attack on the eldest princess. If there is a trial, the eldest princess needs to be summoned.
." Cui Shuo didn't even create a file, he just reported it verbally to Bao Tu.
"It's also related to the eldest princess, so can't Ding Kui worry less about it?"
Although Bao Tu was a fair and strict man, the turmoil caused by Shaodian Luan implied a dispute over the reserve position, and families without any interest in it were trying to avoid it, and the Bao family was one of them.
Geng Jie hurried over and reported to Bao Tu and Cui Shuo: "Someone reported that Yang Qia had contacts with many mysterious people during his lifetime. He has a huge amount of unidentified assets in his family. He is suspected of being involved in slandering the eldest princess, which is one of the sources of rumors in the city."
"What a coincidence?" Bao Tu smelled a conspiracy, "Immediately take control of the Yangqia family and seize all the assets of the Yang family. They cannot be allowed to transfer their property, and they cannot be given the opportunity to frame them."
"Should we conclude this case as soon as possible?" Experience tells Cui Shuo that there will be more and more variables.
"It's too late, let alone you. Even if I want to end this case, I can't. If the king doesn't say anything, all the great gods will not let up behind the scenes. Besides, it's very likely that the king wants to watch a show and deliberately indulges the situation." Bao Tuzai.
I thought of a lot in a very short period of time.
Bao Tu was right. Various rumors suddenly broke out, accompanied by strange events.
First, one of Yang Qia's concubines died mysteriously. There were rumors that she was given to Yang Qia by a certain noble, who was a follower of the Duke of Beizhen.
Then Si Lvsi searched for a land deed, which was a manor located on the outskirts of Zhenjing that was newly transferred to Yang Qia's name. The original owner of the manor was Earl So-and-so, who was a vassal of the Nangong family. Earl So-and-so immediately retorted,
He claimed that his home was stolen, and what was stolen was the title deed of the manor, which was found at the scene of the theft and belonged to a servant of the Zhongzheng government.
A servant in Dingguogong Yang's house broke the news that when the Yang family was tracking down a killer organization, someone had been hired to assassinate Yangqia's concubine, but the buyer's information was unknown.
Later, someone anonymously reported to the Legal Department, revealing that the nobles who followed An Guogong were trying to bribe the Yang family, making them admit that Yang Qia had expressed dissatisfaction with the eldest princess during her lifetime.
In just four or five days, the city of Zhenjing was caught in a storm of rumors, and many wealthy families were implicated in the case of Ding Kui's angry murder of Yang Qia.
The Senate did not have any trouble with Ding Kui's capture of Jun Lou alive, and finally exchanged the right to remove obstacles for Jun Lou and the right to retaliate against Cao Guo.
Ding Kui completed the handover with the Senate, patted his butt and left the capital with Ao Yu, as if nothing had happened. Si Lusi just came to him and asked for a seal of the immunity token.
If he is found not guilty of killing Yangqia, the white paper with the seal will be returned to him. Otherwise, his charges will be noted on the white paper and kept in the file of the Attorney General.
No matter what the final outcome of the struggle between the parties was, Ding Kui's crime was definitely not worthy of confiscation of the immunity gold medal. Neither the king nor the Senate could recommend the confiscation of the immunity gold medal.
The news about the king's meeting with Ding Kui has been spread, and the order to deal with Ding Kui has been issued long ago, so there is no need to wait until now.
All the elders of the Senate expressed inconvenience in taking a stand on Ding Kui's case of killing Yang Qia, so it was impossible to recommend that Ding Kui's immunity gold medal be revoked.
The anxious Shaodianmi knelt in front of the king and said: "Wei Chen cannot confirm any of the rumors, but there is no way to overturn any of them. All possibilities exist. Unless all the relevant nobles can be captured."
"The Senate is watching this case closely. Who can you arrest and torture?" Shao Diandan asked.
The Senate is not afraid of the espionage department playing dirty tricks. If you want to ask, you can ask, but you can't use torture!
"The only thing that can be confirmed is that someone paid a murderer to assassinate Yang Qia's concubine, but the buyer may be someone from the Tang family, or someone else." Shaodianmi lay on the ground without daring to raise his head.
"Nonsense, Gu wants to know if the Tang family is involved." Shaodian Dan was really troubled, "This happened right under Gu's nose. Who gave these people the courage?"
"Currently, Duke An, Duke Wei, Duke Beizhen, Duke Zhongzheng, the Tantai family, and the Nangong family are all likely to be involved in Ding Kui's case of killing Yang Qia. Among them, Duke An and Duke Wei may be involved in the case.
I want to help Ding Kui escape his crime, but I have no intention of going against the king."
Shaodianmi's vest got wet when he read several names of the dukes.
"Well, that Yang Qia is so unsatisfactory. How could he be found out for so many disobedient acts? Gu actually entrusted the security of the capital to such a person." Shao Diandan was not good at doing anything to those princes.
.
When Shaodian heard this, he took advantage of the opportunity and said: "Yangqia sent people to the Huguo Hou Mansion. They should pay attention to Ding Kui's reaction. The eldest princess got off the car in front of the inspection office and walked into the front yard. He should
Come out to see His Highness, not come out after your men use force."
"They are all deserving of death!" Shaodian Dan shouted, "According to the decree of the orphan, all the guards and maids in the eldest princess's palace are escorted to the clan prison. After strict interrogation, except for the innocent ones, all others will be executed!"
This means beheading no matter how big or small the crime is.
"I obey the order." Shaodianmi breathed a sigh of relief, understanding that the king was going to end this matter.
"The eldest princess and the prince-in-law are young and naughty, obstructing the government's work, and order the family to govern them according to family law." Shaodiandan continued to order.
The point of "impeding official office work" is very clever and has nothing to do with killing people. However, it is illegal to bring guards into official offices and cannot be tolerated. There is a mystery in "rule by family law", and the king personally approved it.
The law replaced the national law and gave the Ministry of Legal Affairs a way to step down.
"Anyone who slanders or slanders members of the royal family will be whipped fifty times, and anyone who makes irresponsible remarks about the government will be detained for one month." Shaodian Dan issued a gag order.
Rumors need to rely on the mouths of ordinary people to expand their influence. As long as the mouths of ordinary people are blocked, it will be useless to make up any rumors.
Fifty minutes of whipping can kill someone. No matter how boring a person is, they will not joke with their own lives. Even if they see the eldest princess having an affair with others, they still have to control their mouths.
Discussing the cases heard by the Attorney General's Office is also regarded as discussing the government's affairs. If there is conclusive evidence, it can be submitted to the Attorney General's Office, but if you want to make false accusations like before, you will face the risk of detention.
The king can add penalties or cancel them at any time. The regulations just introduced will not be written into the laws of the kingdom. Local governments will implement or not implement them based on the mood of the local officials, except in the capital.
The rumors quickly subsided after the king's decree was issued. People first discovered that the eldest princess was still deeply favored by the king. Who dared to risk their lives by gossiping.
Secondly, Yang Qia's death was in vain, and Ding Kui was asked to deal with it according to the family law, but it was just because he destroyed the headquarters of the Inspection Office. Beating Yang Qia would most likely be regarded as protecting the princess.
Si Lushi did not accuse Yang Qia of murdering the princess, but the city defense army did not give Yang Qia's family a pension. The treatment above is thought-provoking.
In the end, the nobles who were criticizing each other all stopped and greeted each other when they had to meet, presenting a peaceful scene.
After Zi Si retired to his old age, he stayed at home and refused to meet all the guests who came to visit him. He only asked his grandson Zi Dan to pass on the news, and he would no longer interfere with the affairs of the court. As for those who wanted to talk about personal friendship, they could wait until relevant festivals, such as New Year's birthdays and so on.
He assumed a nonchalant attitude.
One day Pi and Zisi complained: "Father, we seem to have suffered a loss this time. We lost the sheep in vain."
"Yang Qia is looking for death. If he keeps a low profile and doesn't provoke Ding Kui, will he die? We have already pushed Ding Kui and the eldest princess to the forefront. If we don't care, they will cause trouble in the city.
If we can get rid of the influence of Yangqia, we will make a profit. The conflict between Princess Tantai, the Queen, and Princess Nangong has been aroused, and the battle for the reserve position is looming. As the chief minister of the Government Affairs Council, no matter which side wants to curry favor with you, who will be willing to push you aside?
To the other side?”
Zi Si was leisurely and contented, and the turmoil that had just ended in the capital did not affect Zi's family.
"Oh, that's true. You still have a better move." Zipi saw the situation clearly after Zisi's guidance.
"You have to remember one thing, you must not let Shao Dianfeng inherit the throne. Even if you can't stop it, you must instigate the brother-sister relationship between Shao Dianfeng and Shao Dianluan. This time, Shao Dianluan provoked many enemies for Shao Dianfeng.
From now on, you must remind Shao Dianfeng from time to time." This is Zisi's plan.
