When Ba Bo said this, he said "Oh" and said, "I heard two people talking in the study not far away, saying that there was not enough food."
At this time, even Wei Zhi and Ji Xiang sat up straight, and Old Tang asked calmly: "Besides, what else did you hear?"
Ba Bo's details revealed that he was also very confused. In his opinion, those were just ordinary words and he didn't take them to heart at all.
The study room was separated by two walls from the room he slipped into, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the jewelry from the makeup box and left after searching through the cabinet and hair and finding no gold or silver.
Although jewelry, gold and silver hairpins can be exchanged for money, they are not as convenient as gold and silver.
And he was also very careful in his sales. The silver hairpin he took out had no marks at all and the style was very ordinary. He also deliberately avoided the property of the Chu family and the Wang family. Who knew that the pawnshop actually belonged to the Chu family?
There was no news at all before.
And when the other party saw Yin Chai, he didn't even ask him why, but just wanted to question him. When he saw that his posture was wrong, he ran away.
As soon as he ran away, it was leaked, and he was stabbed at that time. If he hadn't been a soldier or a scout, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape at that time.
Mr. Old Tang inquired about the whole process in detail, looked through his case files and said, "You committed the crime in Maozhou, how come you were tried in Mianzhou and escorted to Beijing?"
Ba Bo said: "The younger one fled all the way from Maozhou to Mianzhou and was captured in Mianzhou. Since his ancestral home is Mianzhou, he was tried in Mianzhou."
Wei Zhiye took a curious look at the case file and asked, "Didn't you come to Beijing with the prisoners from Maozhou? Why were you tried and escorted in Mianzhou?"
Ba Bo looked confused, but Mr. Old Tang explained: "There are not many murder cases that require repeated review by the Ministry of Punishments. Escorting them to Beijing costs a lot. Generally, in order to reduce losses, several neighboring states will go on the road together. If there are prisoners in the places they pass through,
, send out a government officer, and give some money to ask the passing state government officers to help escort them together, which reduces the losses of the states, so this kind of thing is common."
Qiuniang's wife killed her husband. The case file was unclear at the time. After reviewing it, Feng Shangshu worried that the case was unjust, false, and wrong, so he was escorted to Beijing for retrial.
Bapu, however, was sent to the capital to be tortured as a model because he killed too many people and had extremely bad effects.
Generally, there may not be one case of this kind in a state in three years, so it costs a lot to escort a prisoner to Beijing. After all, you need at least three people to escort a prisoner, right?
Who pays for food and accommodation for the officers and prisoners?
Of course, it cannot come from the Ministry of Punishment. Generally, it comes from the state and county governments themselves. Some poor small counties simply cannot afford this money.
For example, in Luojiang County before Magistrate Yang, Magistrate Fu would never allow case files regarding unjust, false, or wrongful cases to be submitted under his authority, nor would he allow such major cases of egregious nature to occur under his authority.
Otherwise, the county government would have to spend dozens of taels of money to send it to Beijing for a case, and Magistrate Fu would be heartbroken.
Mr. Old Tang was very familiar with the Ministry of Punishment and continued: "As for the trial in Mianzhou, the person was caught in Mianzhou. If the person is tried in Mianzhou, half of the credit goes to Mianzhou. Otherwise, if he is sent back to Maozhou, Mianzhou will
It’s all in vain.”
Otherwise, Bapu stole something in Maozhou and killed someone in Maozhou. The government office in Maozhou had already drawn a portrait of him. In order to catch him, a person was killed. Mianzhou captured the person and sent him back. Then
The only thing that has something to do with Mianzhou in this case is that Bapu is from Mianzhou.
At that time, it is not certain whether the merit has been achieved or not, most of it will be lost. After all, even if the people under the rule desert the army, if they still steal and kill people, they can be blamed for lax education.
Therefore, Bapu was robbed by Mianzhou as if he were taking credit.
The three of them looked down at him together. If the Chu family was really related to the rebellion of King Yizhou, then Ba Bo would have saved his life. Otherwise, he would have died long ago in Maozhou.
Naturally, these things must be investigated. How to investigate them is Mr. Tang's business.
Because the Tang County Magistrate is in Yizhou, his people are the fastest to get there. In addition, Your Majesty also needs to tell you that Wei Zhi can still participate, but Ji Xiang has been semi-ostracized.
The matter in Yizhou is a bit serious. As the leader of the hundred officials, his hometown is still in Yizhou. This is considered a dereliction of duty on his part. Now His Majesty wants to use him to suppress the officials and be the nominal leader. But in fact, there are many cases in this case.
Everything is no longer on his side.
After Ji Xiang, Wei Zhi and others came out of the palace, they clasped hands to each other, said goodbye and went home.
Wei Zhi and Mr. Old Tang stood waiting for Xiang Ji's carriage to leave before saying, "Where have you imprisoned those two people?"
Mr. Old Tang said: "Yin Li is not in the prison in Jingzhao Mansion now. All these matters are under the control of his deputy, who is also your Majesty's man. It is more stable than the Tian prison."
Wei Zhi watched Ji Xiang's carriage go away and sighed: "Ji Xiang is old."
Mr. Old Tang did not say anything. His son is still in Yizhou City. The private soldiers of the King of Yizhou who don’t know where they are hiding are equivalent to a hidden pack of hungry wolves. If he is not careful, the entire Yizhou will be destroyed.
over.
None of the people in Yizhou, including his son, could even think of escaping, so it was really hard for Mr. Tang to have the heart to go with Ji Xiang. He only had one son.
Wei Zhi obviously knew about his worries. He reached out and patted his hand and said, "Don't worry, Yin Li is near Yizhou."
Mr. Old Tang snorted coldly.
The current whereabouts of Yin Li are only known to Yin Li himself. His son sent a secret message saying that when he besieged Dongxizhuang, Yin Li was only willing to lend him a thousand soldiers and horses, and the garrisons in Yizhou and Suizhou all belonged to King Yizhou.
The eyeliner, if he hadn't laid the groundwork for a long time, suddenly transferred the garrison, and Yang Heshu's Mianzhou garrison to assist him, he would not be able to command these garrison at all.
When they discovered that they were besieging Dongxizhuang, the Yizhou and Suizhou garrisons almost broke into camp. His son and Yang Heshu almost died, but Yin Li was stunned and could not take action.
Mr. Old Tang didn't know whether to praise him or scold him.
Wei Zhi agreed with Yin Li's decision from the bottom of his heart, but he did not dare to say it in front of Mr. Old Tang. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "How is the Queen Mother's illness?"
Mr. Old Tang sighed and said after a while: "There is no progress. I heard that she didn't finish the water and rice yesterday. Your Majesty asked the King of Yizhou to come over this morning to attend to the illness, and the Queen Mother only got half a bowl of porridge."
Wei Zhi frowned, "If we do it a few more times, won't King Yizhou be released?"
Lord Tang did not speak.
Wei Zhi, who has always been upright, couldn't help but curse: "This old woman is harming the country!"
Mr. Old Tang moved away from him, indicating that he had not heard anything just now.
Wei Zhi was so angry that his beard blew away.
In a house in the outer city far away from the imperial city, Magistrate Fu, who had just arrived home not long ago, was so angry that he smashed a cup and said angrily: "The old woman is vicious!"
Mrs. Fu was crying sadly while hugging Fu Wenyun. She turned around and said, "Master, you have to make the decision for your daughter. If you get away with it this time, she won't know how she will be bullied in her husband's family in the future!"
