Chapter 659 Taifu who stepped forward (No. 2 has a day off, thank you)
As soon as this statement came out, the courtiers were in an uproar!
Everyone looked at Yu Wenhao, at the feet of the Emperor. There was an unjust, false, and wrong case. No wonder the people were making a fuss yesterday.
Yu Wenhao was confused. "The real murderer surrendered? But I have verified that the evidence in this case is conclusive. The murderer also confessed to the facts of the crime."
King An said coldly: "Confess? I'm afraid of being severely punished, right? The dignified prince actually surrendered when handling the case. It's just nonsense!"
Yu Wenhao looked calm and said: "Returning to the emperor, Wei Chen has not been sentenced. The murderer also admitted the fact of pushing the victim into the lake. And there are both witnesses and material evidence. He cannot deny it. I will sentence the murderer in accordance with the laws of the Northern Tang Dynasty.
How can the punishment of beheading be regarded as a disregard of human life? As for the real murderer who emerged, it is really strange. Since there is doubt, why did the Ministry of Punishment submit the memorial first without communicating with Jingzhao Mansion? "
After speaking, he looked at Sun Shangshu.
Sun Shangshu was startled for a moment. "The lakeside murder case? The official is not talking about this case. It is the murder case of Wu Zhu and Zhu. The file submitted by the prince said that the case has been closed, but the official has read it.
The murderer is wrong. And the real murderer has surrendered."
Wu Zhu was the widower, and Zhu was the butcher's wife.
Yu Wenhao said strangely: "When the case of Wu Zhu and Zhu was submitted to the Ministry of Punishment, I said in the attachment that when the case was submitted to the Ministry of Punishment, the murderer would surrender. Has the murderer already surrendered to the Ministry of Punishment now?"
Sun Shangshu's expression changed slightly, "This... the person your prince executed a few days ago was not the murderer in this case?"
Yu Wenhao said: "Of course not, Mr. Sun, what's the matter with you? The cases submitted by this king are one by one. It is clear that the murderer of the lakeside murder case was executed. As for the murder of Zhu and Wu Zhu,
In the murder case, the suspect is still detained in Jingzhao Mansion Prison."
Sun Shangshu was shocked, and immediately restrained his arrogance and panic, "Xiaoguan...Xiaoguan, maybe I didn't see clearly."
Sun Shangshu was in a state of confusion. Didn’t you see clearly? There were indeed several cases submitted by the Jingzhao Mansion before, but I remember that the master himself said that the prince had sentenced the butcher to death and had already beheaded him. I couldn’t hear him wrong.
Many people were present and heard it with their own ears.
Sun Shangshu looked at Yu Wenhao. His face was blank, but his eyes were clear, and he immediately understood in his heart that this was a game.
He had known for a long time that these cases were designed by King An. In order for the murderer to emerge, he had to kill one person to end the case.
"Sun Yi!" Emperor Ming Yuan shouted angrily, "What did you do?"
Sun Shangshu knelt down with a plop and said in panic: "Go back to your Majesty, I...I was temporarily unintentional, please forgive me for my sins."
"An oversight?" Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue came out and said calmly: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince has just dealt with the murderer. Yesterday, rumors were flying all over the sky and the people were in trouble. Yesterday, I went to the Huibin Tea House to sit for a while and listened.
The tea-goers scolded the prince one after another. After careful questioning, I found out that all this information was leaked by the Ministry of Punishment. I felt strange at that time. The Ministry of Punishment has always been rigorous in handling cases, especially doubtful cases that need to be sent back for retrial and investigation. This is absolutely not allowed.
I'm wondering if I've leaked half a sentence to the outside world. Today, when I go to court, twelve books were played for the prince. There is definitely something wrong with it. I would like to ask the emperor to investigate it carefully."
Emperor Ming Yuan's face was gloomy, his eyes were sharply swept, and all the courtiers who had just participated in the performance lowered their heads.
An Wang said: "Your Majesty, the prince just said that when the case was submitted to the Ministry of Punishment, there was an attachment saying that the murderer would come to surrender. I guess he knew who the murderer was. Since he knew who the murderer was, why didn't he arrest him immediately instead of waiting for him?
Come and surrender?"
Yu Wenhao said: "When I returned to the emperor, I had already sent people to track him down. He confessed to the crime and then said that he was going to the Ministry of Punishment to surrender. I should give him this opportunity and sent people to follow him along the way. I was afraid that the Ministry of Punishment would not understand the case.
I will hand over the case file first."
King An sneered, "Why do you have to go to the Ministry of Punishment to surrender? You can surrender to your Jingzhao Mansion, and you have already mastered the facts of the crime before surrendering. Who are you fooling?"
Yu Wenhao was startled for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Yes, if you want to surrender, you can also surrender at Jingzhao Mansion. What is the trick of this murderer? He has to go to the Ministry of Punishment to surrender. It seems that there must be some inside story. I suggest you, or
It needs to be scrutinized again."
"You..." King An was so angry that his chest felt tight. By saying this, didn't he tell the person who surrendered that there was something wrong with him?
The court officials also found it strange that this case was handled by the Jingzhao Mansion, but the murderer insisted on going to the Ministry of Punishment to surrender. Moreover, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue also said just now that the case would be leaked. It was the Ministry of Punishment that leaked the news to the outside world. So what exactly are the Ministry of Punishment and the murderer doing?
What the hell?
It seems that someone really wants to target the prince. Just outside the palace, the prince mentioned that someone from Prince An's Mansion paid to kill the princess. Could it be...
Imperial Master Wei Taifu came out of the procession tremblingly, his eyes gleaming, "Your Majesty, I want to participate in the performance!"
Taifu Wei was in the court before to remonstrate with the Crown Princess about going to Leprosy Mountain. In his excitement, he hit his head and was injured. Now that he has recovered a bit, he still looks very weak.
When Emperor Ming Yuan saw him, his gloomy face softened a little and said, "Teacher's sermon."
Taifu Wei knelt down tremblingly and said in a solemn voice: "I have no foundation. I am a temporary candidate. I want to join His Highness Prince An to buy murderers, form cliques for personal gain, frame the prince, and bring trouble to the court!"
King An was shocked and angry, "Don't talk nonsense, Taifu, this is obviously a trap set by the prince!"
Emperor Ming Yuan said coldly: "Master, please get up and sit down. Continue talking."
There was silence in the main hall. The Imperial Guards brought a chair for Mr. Wei to sit down. Mr. Wei was so excited that he coughed several times until his face turned red. He said excitedly: "Your Majesty, brothers are the most taboo in the royal family.
There is disagreement and fratricide. Today, King An and eleven ministers participated in the imperial examination, but they framed the prince on a false charge. The case that the Ministry of Punishment had doubts about was neither reported nor returned. How can it be careless to submit the memorial jointly like this?
Or was it an oversight to fool the past? Without absolute certainty, how could so many people have signed up to participate in the concert? Little did they know that more than ten of them had been deceived by the prince. Although the prince's plan was inappropriate, it was to protect himself and expose them.
Ugly mask. The veteran also learned that someone in Prince An's palace had accused someone of buying a murder to kill the Crown Princess. If this matter was found out, how sinister was Prince An's intention? Just outside the palace, the veteran heard someone talking about how a mob came to the palace yesterday.
The streets of the city are clamoring for King An to replace the crown prince. How lawless is this? These rebellious ministers and traitors should be punished! They should be punished!"
The Taifu loves to catch rumors, and he is most afraid of shaking the country. He has an extremely rich imagination for a young man, and he is a ruthless person. As long as anyone touches this, he will even dare to smash his own head at any time.
.
Although he had denounced the Crown Princess, it was because the Crown Princess was unvirtuous and ruined the Crown Prince's reputation.
He just saw the prince arguing with King An outside the palace, and he was unhappy in his heart. The prince was now a treasure in his heart, and whoever touched him would wear small shoes.
After entering the palace, he saw twelve people jointly participating in the prince's performance, and he felt that it was right for the chief minister to ask him to come to court today.
