Chapter 310: Concealing the sky and crossing the sea
Mao Xiang, the commander of the pro-military Duwei Mansion, personally rushed to Luzhou Mansion to escort Song Yaozu and Luzhou Magistrate back to the capital. It can be seen how angry Zhu Yuanzhang was. The case was actually very easy to resolve after that. After all, the evidence was irrefutable. Zhu Yuanzhang only cared about the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Did Song Nanshan instruct the Luzhou prefect to help cover it up?
The result of the last few severe punishments was that the Luzhou magistrate wanted to please the Minister Zuo of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The two of them had no personal relationship. Song Yaozu also admitted that he did not dare to tell his father after the incident and that he had done everything himself.
Song Nanhai, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was an official who took the initiative to defect to Zhu Yuanzhang after he captured Jinling. He had always been diligent, honest and upright in his work, and had a good reputation in the officialdom. At that time, not only the officials of the six ministries, but also Wang Guangyang and Hu Weiyong interceded on his behalf.
Zhu Yuanzhang only punished him for his incompetence in educating his son, demoting him from the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to the prefect of Baoding. As for his son Song Yaozu, he was sentenced to beheading the city and abandoning the city. The prefect of Luzhou and the people involved in the case were all executed.
When the woman learned of the verdict, she threw herself into a well and committed suicide.
This kind of thing sounds quite big. In fact, one can be found almost every few days in the Ming Dynasty. The difference is whether it can be known by the emperor. After all, officials guard each other. It is good if the civil servants and generals who guard the place can control themselves. Their heirs
Do whatever you want with your power.
Han Qi also realized it at this time. Although the old master's brain was a bit stiff from reading, Zhu Biao still admired this kind of people, because once something happened, those sycophants might seek advantages and avoid disadvantages and flee.
However, people like Han Qi, Qian Tang and others would live and die with the prince, and would not hesitate to protect the orthodoxy with the lives of their entire family.
Speaking of which, Fang Xiaoru must be a young man, but I don't know where he is now, but I think he will definitely show up. After all, he has learned martial arts and is a member of the emperor's family.
Han Qi knelt down and pulled up the young man and scolded: "Look up, if you are not Song Yaozu, then the prince will naturally make the decision for you. Why are you so secretive? Tomorrow is the day when you will be cut in half and executed!"
The man still covered his face with his hands. Old Master Han was naturally not as strong as him. Guo Xing on the side threw Han Qi to the ground and muttered: "Useless old man, hey,
You kid, hurry up and don't force me to beat you!"
In his early years, Guo Xing relied on his boxing prowess and physical strength. In a few seconds, he grabbed the man's hands and revealed his true face. The man kept making strange noises with a fearful expression. Old Master Han on the side took a closer look and gritted his teeth and said: "How brave! Emperor!"
You actually did such a deceitful thing, I will go to the palace and ask the Holy One to apprehend Song Nanhai, and even the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Punishment are involved!"
Zhu Biao looked at it and said, "Open his mouth."
After reading it, Zhu Biao snorted and turned around. The man was not old, but his tongue had been cut out and his throat had been smoked with fireworks? Moreover, even though he was unconscious, he still covered his face.
?It was clearly trained using cruel methods.
This level of training cannot be achieved overnight. It seems that they have been prepared for a long time. There are probably many such people. They are specially used to take the blame for the powerful. The punishment department is very deep.
After leaving the prison door, Zhu Biao said to Han Qi, who was full of anger: "Then please Zhongcheng, please go back to the palace and report to the emperor first? I will personally lead people to inspect the prisoners in the prison."
Master Han bowed to Zhu Biao and said, "It is important to pay attention to the important events in the Xinglu Kingdom? Then please do your hard work, Your Highness."
Then he left in a hurry? Behind Zhu Biao, Guo Xing and Zhao Yong looked at the young man with great interest: "Damn, these civil servants are all evil-minded, and they actually have such a method."
"A lot of people have been killed by the Ministry of Punishment in the past two years. They can't all be substitutes like this, right? The Holy Spirit will turn the sky upside down if he knows about it."
"Huh? It's probably for the civil servants' own use. Otherwise, why wouldn't we know about it? It's their mother's fault!"
Zhu Biao turned around and said: "Why, why don't you also train a few substitutes, how can a temporary fluke last long? Now that the incident has happened, no one can run away? Go and take all the prisoners to the yard, and check them one by one.
?Never be negligent.”
The two of them immediately agreed and left. Zhu Biao looked at the young man who buried his head on the ground again and sighed. He didn't know what kind of poison was used? Or was he specifically looking for someone with a congenital disability? It seemed like it couldn't be cured.
I can only call the imperial doctor to come and take a look, hoping that he can be saved.
Zhu Biao ordered people to carry him out. As long as he didn't move the hand covering his face, he would not resist. It was already dusk after leaving the Penal Department Prison, but when the sun shone on him, he felt that his whole body was much warmer. The dark Zhu Biao inside
What you see is just the tip of the iceberg, and you can't think about it in detail.
After a while, the Yushitai official led Yan Dong, the minister of Dali Temple, to come over. There were not many things that needed to be inspected when the Dali Temple was first established, and the people inside were all arranged by Zhu Biao himself. I didn’t dare to say in the long run, but I would definitely not fall down so quickly.
Go down.
Zhu Biao and Yan Donglai looked at each other. It was Yan Donglai who discovered this matter. He used to work in the Ministry of Justice. Even though he didn't know how to do it, he had heard about it. After all, there is nothing airtight in this world, especially this.
If there are too many people handling this kind of thing, there will always be some news.
After a while, all the prisoners from the Criminal Department were escorted out. There were also many guards around Zhu Biao, who had just arrived from the East Palace. Zhao Yong also stood beside Zhu Biao.
Each prisoner has his or her own criminal records, including portraits and descriptions of physical characteristics. First of all, the petty thieves will be ignored. The focus of inspection will be on prisoners in the officialdom, especially those with high status.
All the prisoners who were forcibly taken out thought that they were going to be beheaded. Some of them were crying and complaining. Zhu Biao asked someone to pass on a few words. After a while, Guo Xing stood on top and cursed loudly at the prisoners.
Said: "Shut the hell up! Listen up, the prince is inspecting the prison. If any of you are really wronged, you can tell the soldiers around you. Dali Temple will retry your case. But if you are really guilty, you will be punished."
If you dare to complain about wasting time, then don't blame me and I will beat you sons of bitches to death!"
Even if there are problems in the Ministry of Punishment Prison, on the whole, the wrong cases will not be tried. These prisoners are basically guilty of serious crimes. It is just a fluke to complain about injustice. Someone knows Guo Xing, the Marquis of Gongchang, and his methods are cruel and ruthless.
It was famous, so the scene became noisy for a while and then became quiet.
Therefore, it makes sense to say that evil people will have their own torment, and things will be easier to deal with after that. Those who dare to complain about injustice will be sent to Dali Temple, and those who are not wronged will be sent back to the prison cell after their identity is verified.
Zhu Biao stood aside with his hands behind his hands. Zhao Yong walked aside and listened to the report of his subordinates, and then returned to Zhu Biao to report: "After Han Qi entered the palace to report, the Holy Emperor Long Yan was furious. Now he has called all the civil and military officials to Fengtian.
