"Well, this is a well-written statement." Luo Pei's face raised slightly and he pondered.
The evidence that was submitted was actually still a complaint, but only a few pages of evidence were attached. Luo Pei was a Jinshi, and his temperament and habits were difficult to change. Even at this time, he did not look at the evidence immediately, but
I read the complaint carefully again.
I have to say, this statement is very well written.
The lines are full of blood and tears, and the words are simple. If you read it to illiterate people, it will probably resonate with people. This does not mean vulgarity, on the contrary, there is a kind of elegance in the simplicity.
"Mr. Wen Zhenli, if you have such a level, you can't do without a juren!" Luo Pei, who came from the past, secretly sighed: "If this was done by Jia Yuan, it would be a pity to go into business."
Everyone's poems are catchy and both elegant and popular. The same applies to the pleading. It can be said that Luo Pei's agreement to take the case may not be without the merit of the pleading.
"If I win the prize, Huang Liangping won't be able to hide the truth with one hand and keep it a secret for twenty years!" After sighing, he opened the attached pages and started reading. The imperial envoy's mood became even more complicated.
Earlier it was the emotion of the literati, now it is the emotion of the officials.
"This format is very interesting, concise, clear and unique. Could it be created by Jia Yuan?"
"No, someone who can come up with such a format must be a person who respects rules and is not innovative. Although Jia Yuan is a scholar, he is so talented. How can he be wronged and suffered for twenty years?"
"I don't know if we can find this person. Your Majesty is in desperate need of someone. This person can be used."
Officialdom is very particular. Although Luo Pei was very surprised, he would not say "If I get help from this person, I will be even more powerful", but "I can use it". In fact, this is already a very high evaluation.
Thinking about it this way, I looked at it carefully, and the more I looked at it, the more I realized that this format was concise and to the point.
This is Su Ziji's re-edited summary based on the evidence handed over by the wild Taoist. The pleading was written by the wild Taoist, and he re-edited it. The evidence not only has words, but also specially attached tables.
The table corresponds to the time, place, and person. It shows the relationship between the Jia family and the Huang family when the accident happened twenty years ago, and the development of the incident. They are all clearly marked.
Corresponding to the written evidence, it is clear at a glance what happened to the Jia family and the Huang family in the days before and after the tragedy twenty years ago, who the respective family members met, who can testify, and what these represent.
.
"This Jia Yuan is really thoughtful. After a long time, he still remembers these things one by one. It seems that in the past twenty years, he may not have known who the enemy who destroyed the family is, but he just dared not speak out." Thinking that these things are all.
It was Jia Yuan who remembered it, and Luo Pei couldn't help but sigh.
"I was passing by this place on the order of the emperor to control the flood. Jia Yuan must have been advised by someone and knew that I had a conflict with Huang Liangping, so he beat the drum to cry out for injustice... The person behind it is really capable."
The imperial envoy Luo Pei couldn't help but feel a love for talents, but this was not the time to ask about this matter, so he could only press down temporarily and continue reading.
"Twenty years have passed. Generally speaking, most of the evidence has been destroyed. It is difficult for civilians to provide testimony to a county magistrate."
"The people listed now are all alive and are squires or county magistrates. The most ingenious thing is that not everyone may know everything, but taken together, it is almost impossible to refute."
"Every item listed, including going to the county school, going to Chen's pawnshop, and going to the county principal's bookstore, all have records, which can naturally prove whether Huang Liangping actually went to these places that day."
"A few months later, the bandits nearby were surrounded and suppressed, and the property obtained from the bandits was transferred to the local county government for storage."
"There is silver stamped with the mark of Chen's Pawnshop, which is exactly the same amount of silver that Huang Liangping got from pawning things at Chen's Pawnshop a few years ago..."
"Oh? There is also the testimony of the owner of Chen's pawnshop in the back, saying that when his father was in charge, there was an incident where the shop was slandered and the shop was given less money. This was a deliberate attempt by his colleagues to throw dirty water. Since then, his own shop has kept a secret
, will all mark the silver... It seems that this matter is true."
"I really didn't expect that even the clerk who was responsible for warehousing the stolen goods was found and the relevant testimony was obtained. Even the yamen would have to investigate for several months. How much effort would it take..."
"Could the master behind Jia Yuan be a local power? This is not something ordinary businessmen can do."
"That's true, there's no rush."
These thoughts only lasted for a moment. After reading this, the imperial envoy Luo Pei looked at Jia Yuan in the hall again with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.
"Jia Yuan, is what is written in your petition true? You must know that although you are a scholar, if you falsely accuse a court official and it is found out, it will be a serious crime."
Although Jia Yuan has gone through these twenty years, he is no longer as high-spirited as before, and even his appearance has become mediocre, but now he is looking at the imperial envoy with firm eyes and a resolute face, and he really has a bit of character.
"The students are willing to guarantee it with their lives."
"Good!" Luo Pei nodded and complimented casually: "To be able to write such a concise statement is worthy of being a scholar."
After hearing this, Jia Yuan felt relieved, knowing that he had made the right bet this time. The imperial envoy was indeed not from the same group as Huang Liangping.
After reading the evidence that person gave me, I had to admire it. Even if I, the client, collected it, I would not be able to collect it all.
I hope I can sue Huang Liangping this time to avenge the death of his family and the loss of his descendants!
Next, Su Ziji also smiled. When Luo Pei said this, his inclination was obvious. In ancient times, evidence was of course important in judging cases, and the judge's inclination was at least half the same.
Don't waste your hard work in vain.
Thinking of this, Su Ziji glanced at the wild Taoist. In fact, it was not hard work. In a normal investigation, just breaking the wariness would cost a lot, but with a literary mind and a dragon, every time he asked, he talked about everything and quickly collected the information.
Evidence arrived.
In Su Ziji's opinion, this is more powerful than any martial arts secret book.
At this time, the imperial envoy in the hall looked at the sullen Magistrate Huang.
"Master Huang." Luo Peiyin said with a smile: "This case concerns you, Master Huang, so please move away to avoid suspicion."
This sounds like asking Huang Liangping to leave, but in fact it is more than that.
This is Huang Liangping's magistrate's office, and everyone standing below is Huang Liangping's team. If Huang Liangping continues to show off his authority, some things will be difficult to handle.
Moreover, Luo Pei was wary of Huang Liangping when it came to water control.
The King of Qi colluded with the demon clan. This person has taken refuge in the King of Qi. It is almost inevitable that he will be a stumbling block when controlling the water. He should suppress it now and stay behind closed doors to avoid suspicion. When will he come out? Shouldn't he have the final say?
Even if Huang Liangping is proven innocent later, at least it will buy time for flood control.
Before he finished speaking, a gust of wind rushed in from the sky with the smell of rain. Huang Liangping shuddered. Why didn't he understand the stakes here?
Even if he is an imperial envoy to control the river, he is still an imperial envoy. It is the imperial envoy's authority to suspend himself pending investigation. Normally, he would have to accept it obediently.
Otherwise, you will be suspected of defying the imperial authority!
But the prince's orders were secretly stumbling upon the imperial envoy. If he was suspended pending investigation, how could he fulfill the prince's orders?
