The suspense of Chen Qing's case is whether it can be retried.
Once this case is retried, it will mean that the high-level game in the capital has ended. Fan Shilang has left his post and has not left much influence in Jiankang.
Now that the case has been retried, there is actually no suspense about this case.
The first is Qian Tong. These three people offended Qian Tong to death.
Originally, Fan Dongcheng planned to use his connections to "get" Qian Tong after he was exiled. Unfortunately, not long after that, he was taken to Jiankang by Fan Tong because of Yan Mingli's incident.
Ma Jun, the richest among the four, also had his house ransacked at that time.
The only one left, Luo Maocai, has no ability to make money.
Therefore, during the two years that Qian Tong was in Lingnan, he hated these three "brothers" who abandoned him.
After being called to the case, Qian Tong knelt on the ground and almost without hesitation, recounted everything that had happened.
After he finished speaking, he whispered: "Your Majesty, this was the case at that time. The three of us listened to Fan Dongcheng. He told us not to worry and beat him hard. What did he say..."
"It doesn't matter if a peasant boy is beaten to death, he keeps us safe..."
When he said this, Qian Tong looked back at Fan Dongcheng, his eyes full of ferocity.
Because of this case, he was tattooed on his forehead. Not to mention his future, it would be difficult to find a wife.
His family could barely be considered a noble family. After returning to Jiangdu, the Qian family no longer allowed him to enter and only found a small house for him to live alone.
Now, he wraps his forehead with a rag wherever he goes, for fear that others will see the tattoo on his forehead.
His life was basically ruined.
Fan Dongcheng was still kneeling on the ground, saying nothing, as if he was stupid.
After listening to Qian Tong's words, Chief Fu looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Shen Sizheng, is what Qian Tong said true?"
"Approximately true."
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "After the four of them beat Chen Qing to death, they also beat me up when I arrived, and then reported to the Jiangdu County Government that I had killed Chen Qing."
Having said this, Shen Yi silently turned around, looked at Fan Dongcheng who was kneeling behind him, and said lightly: "This crime of murder and the crime of frame-up are all the masterminds of Fan Dongcheng."
Mr. Shen groped in his sleeves and took out a document. He held it in both hands and said: "Two imperial envoys, two years ago, more than a dozen people from Ganquan Academy witnessed these four people beating Chen Qing.
, although we did not see the four of them beating Chen Qing to death, it can at least indicate that the four of them beat Chen Qing that day."
"Among the dozen or so witnesses, Shen found eight. This is their joint testimony. Please see it for your envoy."
Therefore, this is a lawsuit that will have no suspense once it goes to trial.
Although there is no physical evidence, there are witnesses, and there are many witnesses. The key is to be able to close the loop logically.
In this era, there are no human rights for suspects. If the logic is closed, they can be punished.
The two imperial envoys looked at each other, discussed a few words with each other, then looked at Fan Dongcheng and the other three, and asked: "You three, do you have anything to say?"
Luo Maocai knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Two hall lords, Caomin agreed with what Qian Tong said. Xiaomin was present at the time and saw them beating Chen Qing with his own eyes, but Xiaomin did not participate in it and did not take action. Please, lord Mingjian.”
Luo Maocai was relatively thin and was the "dog-headed military advisor" among the four. He did not do much to Chen Qing that day.
Ma Jun on the side had a twisted face and gritted his teeth: "Luo Mazi! How dare you shirk it? It was you who suggested that day to trick Chen Qing into the back garden to teach him a lesson! You are the mastermind!"
Luo Maocai's face suddenly turned red, and he stood up directly and argued: "I just said to teach him a lesson at that time, but I didn't let you beat him to death! You have done such a heavy trick, what does it have to do with me!"
"alright!"
Chief Fu patted the gavel hard, and then looked at the county magistrate Zhang Jian aside: "Does Mr. Zhang have anything else to say?"
Zhang Jian shook his head and said: "The facts of the case are clear and clear. I have nothing to say."
At this time, Shen Yi took a step forward and said: "Two imperial envoys, this case involves not only these two people, but also the former county magistrate of Jiangdu, Feng Lu. This man tends to follow the crowd and bullies the weak and fears the strong. It was he who protected these four people in the first place. Shen almost died unjustly in prison!"
"This man is still an official in the court. Please ask the two imperial envoys to investigate his crimes!"
Hu Ping of Dali Temple stroked his beard on his chin, looked at Shen Yi thoughtfully, and sighed secretly in his heart.
This young Shen Sizheng really holds a grudge.
According to the rules of Dachen officialdom, no matter what grudges there are, they will be over as soon as they resign. For example, the former magistrate Feng Lu is no longer in office in Jiangdu County, and it has been several years. Generally, there will be no pursuit. Already.
As a result, Hu Sizheng coughed and said, "Shen Sizheng, today we are mainly hearing the case about Chen Qing. We will discuss the matter of the former county magistrate later."
At this time, juror Zhang Jian walked down, walked to Shen Yi, and reminded softly: "Feng Lu is a very shrewd official, and it is impossible for him to accept money from the Fan family..."
In a case like Chen Qing's, Feng Lu would definitely not accept money as long as he wasn't particularly stupid.
If he doesn't charge money, there is no evidence that he is harboring the prisoner.
At the end of the day, we can only say that he is a weak official, and the judgment of the case is unclear. There is no way to investigate his crime.
Shen Yi was a little anxious just now, so he didn't think about this. He exhaled a breath and said, "I am anxious."
Since I can't find Feng Lu's fault in this matter, I'll look for it elsewhere in the future!
The two imperial envoys asked a few more questions, then patted the gauntlet and said, "The context of this case is clear. The two of us will discuss it for a while and the case will be closed later."
After that, the two imperial envoys stood up from their chairs, said hello to Zhang Jian, and went to the back hall to drink tea.
Zhang Jian was thoughtful, patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, and followed him.
But Shen Yi has not passed.
He found a chair in the hall, moved the chair, and sat in front of Fan Dongcheng.
At this time, Mr. Shen was wearing a white scholar's uniform and a jade crown on his head, with a handsome demeanor. Mr. Fan was also kneeling on the ground, with drool dripping from the corner of his mouth. Comparing the two people, they were almost as different as clouds and mud.
Shen Yi looked at Fan Dongcheng quietly, and then a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "What? Senior Brother Fan is crazy?"
Fan Dongcheng's eyes were still dull and he said nothing, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"I know that you are fine now, but you just can't accept the current situation. You don't understand why your superior fifth uncle suddenly transferred to another country. You don't understand why the Fan family, which has been the king of Jiangdu for so many years, suddenly protects you. I can’t hold you anymore.”
"Yes or no?"
Fan Dongcheng still didn't speak.
Shen Yi was not in a hurry, he was very patient, and he spoke in an unhurried manner.
"Your charges will be confirmed soon, but don't worry, it's probably not intentional homicide, but manslaughter."
"The last time we were here, when the county magistrate fined Qian Tong, he was sentenced to three thousand miles, because at that time, your uncle was still the Minister of Punishment, and he wanted to give your family some face."
"And today, it is the imperial envoy who is punished, and..."
"You, the Fan family, have lost face."
Shen Yi was expressionless: "So, this time I will give you a real penalty."
"I checked it for you last night."
Chief Shen was expressionless and said calmly: "According to Da Chen's law, manslaughter is punishable by hanging."
Seeing that Fan Dongcheng still didn't speak, Shen Sizheng came closer and whispered in his ear: "The so-called hanging means finding a bowstring and strangling you alive."
"I hope that at that time, Senior Brother Fan, you can still be as calm and calm as you are now."
"ah!!"
Fan Dongcheng, who had never changed his expression, finally couldn't bear it anymore!
He stood up suddenly, let out an inhuman roar, and then bit Shen Yi's shoulder hard!
Shen Yi took a step back and avoided his bite.
Fan Dongcheng was quickly held down by two government officials.
Shen Yi patted the non-existent dust on his shoulders, looked at Fan Dongcheng, and spoke calmly.
"If I don't avoid this, you will attack the imperial official."
"By then, you won't even be able to hold a bowstring."
