As the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, he didn't know when Chang Sun Dan died, so his subordinates rushed to the scene in a hurry to take over the murder case and fought with the officials of Jingzhao Mansion. They even concealed the important evidence they had found from themselves. Are you trying to sideline me?
Facing the anger of his boss, Wei Yijie was not afraid.
In terms of family and background, he is more prominent than Andy Lau!
Who is the Liu family in Pengcheng?
Jingzhao Weishi is the real hairpin family!
His great-grandfather Wei Xiaokuan was a famous military commander in the Northern Dynasty. He served as Taifu in Zhou Dynasty, Shangshu Youpuse, Mu of Yongzhou, and Duke of Yun State; his grandfather Wei, Mr. Wei, served as General of Hussars in Zhou Dynasty, Yougong Bo, Jing Zhaoyin, and Huai of Henan. His father, Wei Yuancheng, was the eldest son of Mr. Wei. He was the third division commander of Yitong in the Kaifu of Sui Dynasty. He was the governor of Chen Shen and the Duke of Yun. His uncle, Wei Kuangbo, the second son of Mr. Wei, was the father of Taizong Zhaorong Wei Ni's son. In the Sui Dynasty, he served as the imperial concubine, Shu Guogong; Wei Yuanzhao, the third son of Mr. Wei, Yang Jinghui, the princess of Fengning in Sui Dynasty, was the prince-in-law; his sister Wei Guifei was the concubine of His Majesty Li Er, and was the "fourth prince" who was consecrated in April of the first year of Zhenguan. The head of "Mrs."...
Wei Yuantong and his like are just a branch of Jingzhao Weishi, but they have already become the leaders in Guanzhong!
He has been serving as the minister of the Ministry of Justice since the third year of Zhenguan. He has the support of his family and his own hard work, but he has always been relegated to the deputy position. How can he be willing to do so?
How could Liu Dewei, an old man, be able to sit on his head and dominate him for so long?
Liu Dewei looked angry and asked, "Why don't I know anything about what Minister Wei said?"
Wei Yijie calmly replied: "Shang Shu, you are responsible for all kinds of things every day. In addition, Shao is a very old man. How can I dare to trouble you with everything in my humble position? Therefore, for such small and unsaid things, I can just do it for you."
Liu Dewei laughed angrily: "A small thing that cannot be said? What a small thing that cannot be said! It concerns a second-grade high-ranking official, the dignified Jing Zhaoyin, the life of a son of a noble family, but it is so important in your eyes Is it a small unspoken thing?"
"Shang Shu Mingjian, I didn't know the seriousness of this matter when I was in my humble position, but someone came to report a murder in Hu County Post House, so I sent Duan Zun, the assistant minister, to investigate and investigate. Who expected that there would be a conflict with the officers of Jingzhao Mansion? I didn't know Duan Zun. When Zun returned to the city, he actually captured a thief, and he was able to find a piece of evidence about Fang Jun..."
Duan Zun was not one of the ministers on the left or right, but a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment.
However, in the former Sui Dynasty, within the six tribes, it was common to refer to a doctor as a minister, and the honorific titles "left" and "right" were added in front of the real minister to distinguish...
Wei Yijie downplayed it and shied away the responsibility.
Liu Dewei nodded and said: "That being the case, then this matter can be handled by Minister Wei, and I have nothing to do with it."
After saying this, he stood up and wanted to leave.
Don't you want to evade me?
OK, I'll give you this opportunity.
Anyway, this is a puddle of muddy water, and I still have to think about how to get out. If I see you scrambling to get in, then just get in!
I am over sixty years old and have been in great glory for a long time. So what if I am forced out of office by you?
Absolutely no involvement in this kind of thing.
Wei Yijie was a little stunned by Liu Dewei's reaction, but soon understood what Liu Dewei was thinking.
The golden cicada sheds its shell...
Quickly give Changsun Jun a wink.
Changsun Jun said quickly: "Shang Shu, please stay! I have something to give to Shangshu."
Liu Dewei sneered: "You are already colluding, so what do you have to do with me? You are seeking your own death, and I will help you."
Changsun Jun hurriedly took out a piece of letter from his sleeve, handed it over with both hands, and said: "Shang Shu Ming Jian, this is the handwriting of His Highness King Guo..."
Prince Li Feng of Guo is Liu Dewei's son-in-law...
Liu Dewei valued this son-in-law very much. He didn't know what the letter said, and he was afraid of ruining his son-in-law's important affairs, so he had to accept it.
Liu Dewei looked at it carefully, his face suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "You are going to do your own business, why are you dragging others into the water?"
My stupid son-in-law was actually involved in this matter...
Wei Yijie remained silent.
Another right servant, Zhang Yunji, looked up at the sky.
Changsun Jun said sadly: "My brother died tragically, and my father's hair turned gray overnight. He was heartbroken. If the murderer is not eliminated, how can we show the power of God and uphold justice? I also ask the minister to not be afraid of power and uphold justice!"
Liu Dewei's mind was spinning, thinking about the gains and losses.
Judging from the situation, not only Wei Yijie was involved, but Zhang Yunji was also involved. The entire criminal department was probably bribed, and he was completely alone. Besides, King Guo could write this letter to himself to persuade him to participate. It will definitely be difficult to break away from the relationship there...
After a while, he angrily waved his sleeves and said, "I don't even bother to associate with people who are like flies and dogs!"
Immediately retreat to the back hall.
The remaining officials in the hall were all stunned...
Changsun Jun asked: "Shilang Wei... what should we do?"
Wei Yijie pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter, the minister is just worried for a moment. If you calm down, you will definitely see the situation clearly. At the worst, you will stay out of the matter and have nothing to do with the overall situation." He turned to Zhang Yunji who was opposite him and asked: "Secretary Zhang, I agree. What do you think?"
Zhang Yunji smiled and said calmly: "Under the Secretariat, with Minister Wei as my esteem, everything is decided by you."
Since ancient times, the left has been respected.
Wei Yijie cursed secretly: Old fox!
This is because you want to reap the dividends, but you also want to stay out of it and not take responsibility!
However, he didn't have the patience to fight with this old cunning man. Now he had to establish the case with ironclad evidence, so that those who promised to work with him would keep their promises and push himself to the throne of the Minister of Punishment...
Wei Yijie immediately took over the lobby of the Criminal Department.
"Submit the physical evidence first. If it is confirmed to be correct, Fang Jun will be arrested and brought to justice."
The private scribe put the jade pendant obtained from Cheng Wuting on a tray and presented it to Wei Yijie's desk.
Wei Yijiezai took a careful look and asked, "Mr. Zhangsun, what is this?"
Changsun Jun replied: "This jade pendant belongs to Queen Wende. It is an ancestral treasure of the Changsun family. It was used as a dowry when Queen Wende married His Majesty, and it was very popular with Queen Wende. Queen Wende After the funeral, His Majesty gave it to Princess Jinyang as a token of longing for her. Later, Princess Jinyang gave it to Fang Jun, and everyone inside and outside the palace knew about it. But now this jade pendant appears in my brother's house. In his hand, he had to hold on tightly even before he died. It can be seen that my brother must have taken Fang Jun off guard when he was committing the murder. God's justice is clear, and this is how I got a clue to my brother's death."
Wei Yi nodded, turned to look at the officials of the Ministry of Justice, and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
One of the officials said: "I believe Mr. Changsun will not make up such lies to deceive us. Since Your Majesty and His Highness Jinyang know about this jade pendant, wouldn't it be exposed if he lies? Therefore, at the very least, Fang Jun should have been at the scene when Chang Sun Tan died, and Fang Jun was closely involved in Chang Sun Tan's death."
The rest all agreed.
Regardless of whether he is secretly colluding with Wei Yijie or siding with Fang Jun, this logic cannot be denied.
Wei Yijie said: "In that case, let's arrest Fang Jun first, then arrange for interrogation of witnesses and order him to confront Fang Jun in court."
All officials agreed unanimously.
He immediately ordered the government officials to go to Jingzhao Mansion to apprehend Fang Jun and bring him to justice.
It's an "arrest", there is no driving sticker, and there is no paperwork.
Fang Jun has been treated as a prisoner...
*****
"What? Cheng Wuting was captured by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs officers?"
Fang Jun asked in shock.
A small leader of the Jingzhao Prefecture's patrol room wiped his sweat and replied: "Exactly! I was on duty not far from Jinguang Gate at that time. Youtun Camp sent soldiers to block Jinguang Gate for some unknown reason and strictly check the people who came in and out.
Cheng Canjun was probably returning from outside the city, and was captured by soldiers from Youtun camp. I followed them all the way, and when I saw them, they escorted Cheng Canjun directly into the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice..."
He didn't know what mission Cheng Wu had to go out of the city to handle, but the dignified Jingzhao Prefecture Si Lu joined the army but was captured by Youtun Camp and then sent to the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment...
No matter how I looked at it, there was something unusual about it, so I hurried over to report it to Fang Jun.
Fang Jun looked solemn.
He didn't know yet whether Cheng Wuting had obtained any evidence against him in the Huxian Post House, but Cheng Wuting must have discovered something if he hurried back to Chang'an in such a hurry.
If there really is any evidence...
Now it must have fallen into the hands of the Ministry of Punishment.
Is it just that Liu Dewei, the Minister of Justice, was also involved?
Even if he was not involved, just staying out of it would be very bad...
There was a call at the door, and an official from the Ministry of Punishment was coming...
