Chapter 1385 Commitment to the case - Qin Song's investigation
Yunlan wanted to say something more, but the servants of Kunning Palace had already come up to greet them. They couldn't talk anymore and walked into Kunning Palace together.
Xiyao was busy with the New Year's Eve dinner and was not in Kunning Palace at this time. Xiyi came out to see them and sent someone to call Min'er and the others.
Min'er likes to play with her father very much, not to mention that Si Qi has been in Lan Mansion these days. She feels even more lonely without a playmate. When she hears her father coming, she immediately runs out of the house. Wenyuan and Wen Qi,
The four children, Wen Yin and Wen Luo, also came out with joy.
Yunxi played with several children for a long time, and Yunlan also accompanied him. At noon, Xiyao returned and had lunch with Yunxi. Because he was too tired, he went to rest without saying a few words; Wenyuan and other children also
She was sleepy and went back to sleep; Min'er was not sleepy, but she was glared at by Xiyao before she returned to the house, and she immediately obediently took her sister Wen Luo's hand and walked towards the bedroom.
"Brother Emperor, my sister missed her mother and went to talk to her." Yunlan also said goodbye. She entered the palace less and less after her son was born. At this time, she had not seen her mother for nearly two months and missed her very much.
, but first I wanted to tell Yunxi about this matter about the Li family, and then in order to please him, I had to play with my niece and nephew. At this time, they all went to take a nap, so they said goodbye.
Yunxi was also a little sleepy, stretched out and said to Yunlan: "I also know that you haven't seen the concubine in nearly two months and miss her very much. Go quickly."
"Thank you, brother." Yunlan thanked her again and stood up to go to her mother's bedroom.
"Wait a minute." Yunxi suddenly remembered something and said to her: "In addition to the case involving her family, what else did the woman named Li Yonglin say? Did she say that she wanted to meet the fourth sister?"
"Brother Huang's prediction is good." Yun Lan said: "This woman did say that she wanted to see Fourth Sister. But my sister thought that she was a commoner's girl, how could she just ask to see Fourth Sister? So she didn't tell Brother Huang." Actually.
Yunlan wanted to tell Yunzhi about the matter first and hear what Yunzhi meant. If Yunzhi didn't want to see her, she told Yunxi in advance, and Yunxi wanted Yunzhi to see her. Wouldn't it be offending?
Yunzhi? But when Yunzhi asked at this time, she didn't dare to tell lies, so she could only say this.
"Don't mention this matter about the Li family to Fourth Sister yet," Yunxi ordered. He wanted to wait for Jin Yiwei and other Yamen to investigate first before deciding how to deal with this matter. At that time, he would decide whether to let Li Yonglin see Yunzhi.
, so I didn’t ask Yunlan to talk to her first.
"By the way, is that person in your house?" Yunxi asked again.
"Here. Brother Huang, my sister heard her talk about this matter and knew that it was a big deal, so she let her stay in the house."
"Okay, you let her continue to live in your house, and you can't let her leave."
"I understand, brother Huang." Yunlan agreed.
After saying this, Yunlan went to see her mother, and Yunxi also went to the bedroom to rest.
In the next few days, Yunxi got up early every morning and went to Qianqing Palace to ask if there were any important memorials. After that, he went to play with his children. He took a nap at noon, sometimes reading, or reading Zhu Bao and himself.
His son called over and discussed history books with them. The time soon came to the 29th.
On this day, after Yunxi got up, he went to Qianqing Palace as usual. As soon as he reached the gate of the palace, two young eunuchs came up to greet him. After saluting, one of the young eunuchs said: "Your Majesty, the palace door was just opened today and Commander Qin entered the palace. Something happened."
Ask to see the official."
"Qin Song has come back?" Yunxi was a little surprised. Since he personally ordered the matter about the Li family, Qin Song did not dare to ignore it and took people to Suzhou himself. Unexpectedly, he set out at noon on the 24th and is back now.
.
"Xian him to come to the back hall to see me." Yunxi ordered again.
"Yes, the official family." The young eunuch agreed and hurried to find Qin Song. Yunxi walked to the back hall.
Not long after he arrived at the back hall, Qin Song walked in, knelt down and saluted: "Qin Song, the commander of the imperial guards, has met your majesty. Long live your majesty..."
Before he finished speaking, Yun He interrupted: "Qin Song, you have been following me for more than ten years, why are you still talking about this? Get up, get up!"
"What's more, it's already the twelfth lunar month and the New Year is about to come, and the government has been closed. Why do you need to go to Suzhou in person?" Yunxi walked up to him again, ordered the eunuch to help him up, and said.
"The existence of my family today is all due to His Majesty's grace. Your Majesty also gave orders, so how dare you slack off!" Qin Song said.
"It's just that I feel in my heart that you shouldn't be so tired during the Chinese New Year."
"The matter that your Majesty personally ordered must be very important. The officials under me are also thinking about the New Year. If they are sent out, they will definitely not investigate seriously. If there is a fallacy in what is discovered, it will make your Majesty's handling of the matter wrong.
If something goes wrong, I will have failed His Majesty's trust."
"That's all. When I award the rewards to my ministers during the New Year, I will give you more rewards." Yunxi said.
Qin Song tried to evade the offer a few more times, saying yes or no, so he bowed and accepted.
After that, the two got down to business. "Your Majesty, I set out from the capital at nearly noon on the 24th, arrived in Suzhou City on the afternoon of the next day, and immediately began to investigate the matter. After verification, the matter was very different from what the person who informed your majesty said.
.It is true that Zhao Yan, the prefect of Suzhou, colluded with Mingliang, the censor of Henan Province in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to seize the Li family's property. First, Zhao Yan ordered tax inspections in the Industrial Park, and later instigated the police to disrupt their family's business."
"Zhao Yan was very smart in sending police to disrupt the Li family's business. Suzhou is not far from the capital, and if someone sued him, he would not be able to get away with it. So every time the police came to the door, it was in the name of tracking down the criminals. The police tracked down the criminals.
It should be, but the Li family's business will inevitably be delayed, but on the surface, there is nothing wrong with it."
"After that, he ordered Sima, who was in charge of taxation, to go to the Li family to check the accounts frequently, hoping to find out the loopholes in their family. But the Li family delayed business and refused to agree to donate, and there were no mistakes, so they had to order people to forge human lives and file lawsuits.
, to involve the Li family members, to punish them with death, and to force the Li family to agree to surrender."
"Wait a minute," Yunxi interrupted him and asked, "Is the human life lawsuit fake?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"How to fake it?"
"Your Majesty," Qin Song hesitated for a moment, then said: "Since Your Majesty issued the order to eliminate refugees, the number of refugees and bullies in all parts of the country has been greatly reduced. However, only the capital can completely eliminate gangsters and bullies, and other places can only eliminate refugees from outside.
The locals are still free of thugs and bullies, and Suzhou is no exception."
"There is a group of bullies in Suzhou who make a living in extortion. Zhao Yan, the prefect of Suzhou, sent his family members to find them and asked them to falsely accuse the Li family. Of course they did not dare to disobey and had no choice but to agree. They usually make a living out of this and do
Unless everyone is arrested and tortured, it will be difficult to see through the trap; this false accusation against the Li family has the Yamen as a helper, so of course it cannot be seen through."
"Where did the lives come from? If you accuse the Li family falsely, you have to prepare lives in advance. Such a bully will never voluntarily sacrifice his life." Yunxi asked again.
"Your Majesty, of course there will be no bullies who will sacrifice their lives voluntarily. They usually extort money, mostly by faking death, or buying foreigners who don't know where they came from from traffickers and raising them for a few years; this time, in order not to leave any loopholes, they hired local flowers.
Money buys lives. There are always poor people among the people who are willing to exchange their lives for money for their families. This time, this group of bullies had the Suzhou prefect pay and they were very generous, so they bought a few lives to frame the Li family."
Qin Song then talked about the methods used by this group of bullies to frame the Li family, which made Yunxi sigh: "The wisdom of the people is really infinite. They can come up with such methods. The people who think about these methods are really smart. It's just that such a smart mind
Why not just in the right place.'
"These things were all obtained by me secretly kidnapping a few policemen and bullies and interrogating them. Although they were afraid of the prefect, they were even more afraid of Jin Yiwei. As soon as I ordered my subordinates to show Jin Yiwei's waistband, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they told the story.
I have told all my ministers." Qin Song said. The name of Jinyiwei was very famous during the Hongwu period. It was silent for a few years in the last years of Hongwu, but it was reused after Yunxi succeeded to the throne. Of course, he was very disgusted with such Yamen civil servants, although
Jin Yiwei no longer tries cases, and even the officials don't know what Jin Yiwei is doing, but out of vigilance, they are still very afraid of Jin Yiwei, and make up a lot of bad things about Jin Yiwei, which makes Jin Yiwei very famous among the people, and can stop children.
The kind that cries at night. When the policemen and bullies in several places heard Jin Yiwei's name, they were completely stupid. They asked and said whatever they wanted. They just asked not to kill themselves, or not to torture them when they killed themselves.
"How did you deal with them?" Yunxi asked again.
"The sudden disappearance of several policemen may have aroused the alarm of Zhao Yan, the prefect of Suzhou. I ordered my subordinates to let them go back with a few warnings; the bully captured them back to the capital and planned to exile them to the northwest in accordance with the rules of the eviction order." Qin Song answered.
Yunxi nodded slightly and agreed. Qin Song continued: "As for other officials, the Fu Cheng and others of Suzhou Prefecture are afraid of the prefect. Secondly, the methods used by the prefect are hard to fault, and thirdly they accept them."
Even with a little money, they dare not take care of this matter; the same goes for the county magistrates, county magistrates, county lieutenants, and officials in the industrial park in the two counties of Changzhou and Wu.
Meat, the idea of having some soup myself will help the prefect deal with the Li family."
"Are there no other officials involved?" Yunxi asked.
"The local officials in Suzhou were not involved. As for the officials in Suzhou and the capital, in compliance with His Majesty's orders, I did not dare to alarm the local Jin Yiwei, so it has not yet been ascertained."
Yunxi saw that although he said this, the expression on his face seemed to have changed, and asked sternly: "Qin Song, what can't you say to me? No matter who is found, even if it is a prince, I
I won’t be lenient, so why should you have any scruples?”
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I only found some signs, but there is no evidence at all, so I dare not tell Your Majesty." Qin Song said.
"I won't convict you just yet. What do you have to be afraid of? Please tell me the names of these officials." Yunhe said.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I investigated in Suzhou Mansion and ordered people to investigate in the capital. This matter seems to involve the young minister of Dali Temple and Fang Xiaoru, the minister of Honglu Temple." Qin Song bit.
Gritting his teeth, he said.
"The two of them?" Rao was already prepared, but when he heard these two names, Yunxi was still stunned for a moment. *** was a Jinshi in the second year of Jianye, an official he trusted very much, and he used him very highly.
He appointed him as an official of the fourth rank after more than three years of being a Jinshi, and it was an important yamen such as Dali Temple. Because he did well in his duties, Yunxi planned to promote him to a more important yamen for training, but he did not expect that he would
involved in this matter.
*** has always loved money. When he took office in the Suzhou Industrial Park, he had a history of stealing from merchants, and Yunxi also heard about it. He just considered that he loved his talent and the amount was not large, so he did not punish him, but gave him a warning.
They also increased the reward for him. After being warned, he had stopped doing it. Unexpectedly, he made the same old habit again this time.
That's okay, after all, *** has a criminal record and was an official in Suzhou Industrial Park. Yunxi still believed it; but Qin Song actually said that Fang Xiaoru was involved in this matter, and Yunxi couldn't believe it anyway. Fang Xiaoru
Although he is a rotten scholar and may not be of much use in practical matters, he is a very upright person, and even those who hate him are blameless for his personal ethics. Yunxi really cannot believe it.
"Your Majesty, whether these two people are involved in this matter is just speculation. There is no evidence at all. It is probably false. Even if it is true, it may not be Yang Shaoqing and Fang Siqing themselves who are involved in this matter. It may be their servants or family members. Minister
In the past few years in Jinyiwei, I have seen servants of nobles or high-ranking officials swindling outside in the name of the master's family."
"What you are saying is that you and the two of them are really involved in this matter, or maybe a servant or clan member is pretending to be powerful and using their name." Yunhe said hurriedly.
But even though he said this, he felt that it was probably the truth, but he still had suspicions about *** and Fang Xiaoru in his heart. Yun He secretly said: "*** is easy to say. I will investigate for a few more days and then I will call him in."
If Gong Lai asks me personally, he will definitely tell me the truth and dare not lie to me. As for Fang Xiaoru, let someone investigate him.'
Yunxi calculated the matter well and asked Qin Song: "You just said that life lawsuits are framed by bullies. What is the reputation of the Li family in their hometown? Have they ever bullied the locals?"
"Of course there are people who bully locals, but they are all in my hometown. Their family has a very good reputation in Suzhou. When the Suzhou government needs help from the local government, the Li family will generously donate money, and they will try their best to help any common people who have an accident.
"Even in their hometown, they have a good reputation and rarely bully others. Only other businessmen don't like their family," Qin Song said.
Yunxi asked again: "When this happened, their in-laws didn't help? Is it because there are no officials in the in-laws' families?"
"Your Majesty, there are several in-laws in their family who have come forward to help, but the official positions in the family are relatively small, not as good as those of the Suzhou prefect and the imperial censor. What's more, they are only in the public eye, and they are even more afraid of offending the people behind the scenes.
, I dare not help too much."
"However, one family of in-laws, the son-in-law of Li Taiyuan, the head of the Li family, was very shameless. Not only did they not help, they also added insult to injury by divorcing their daughter and sending her back to the Li family. It was really shameless." Qin Song also showed disgust on his face.
With an expression on his face, he said. (To be continued)
