Although going to court every day was very hard, the feeling of overlooking everything in the court kept him happy.
There weren't many things to deal with in the past two days. He only had to wait for the report from the Ministry of Punishment and take over the Shuntian Mansion case. The rest of the matter didn't have much to do with him.
The sedan stopped, Zhang Yucong bent down and walked out of the sedan. When he raised his head, he saw a face, that was Marquis Anyi.
Zhang Yucong frowned slightly, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the person he didn't want to see.
The second brother was doing well in northern Xinjiang, but he was accidentally caught by An Yihou, and he lost a lot of money in a year.
Now the Anyi Hou Mansion is involved in the smuggling case, but unfortunately, even if they guess that there is something fishy about the case, they will never think of what the truth is.
He thought that he had arranged everything so seamlessly that even if smuggling happened in the future, someone would take the blame for him.
Zhang Yucong thought about it and walked forward, but saw a few familiar faces in the crowd. Several old censors gathered together and didn't know what to say.
The censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate all took turns to be on duty. I wonder if it was a coincidence that those censors with whom he had never dealt with were all here.
Zhang Yucong had a bad feeling in his heart that he might have to spend a lot of time in court this morning.
…
In the Shuntian Mansion Prison, Huang Qinghe put down the pen in his hand, and he finally sorted out all the documents needed for the entire case.
The officer brought a cup of hot water: "Sir, you have been busy all night, and it's already dawn..."
"Is it dawn?" Huang Qinghe asked.
The yamen almost nodded: "It will be time to go to the yamen soon."
So quickly, Huang Qinghe's slightly relaxed spirit suddenly became tense again, which meant that the Zhang family would soon have someone take over the case.
Although he has found some evidence, the Zhang family is powerful after all. Maybe if he uses some connections, his efforts will be in vain.
Just as Huang Qinghe was thinking about this, he heard a voice coming from outside: "Master Fu Cheng is here."
Before it was time to go to the Yamen, Mr. Fu Cheng arrived at the prison.
Huang Qinghe stood up and went out to greet him.
"Put the Sun family's case files in order," Shuntian Fu Cheng said directly, "The Ministry of Punishments will come to take over after a while."
"Sir," Huang Qinghe knew that with his official position, he had no right to refute, but he still couldn't help but remind Shang Feng, "This is a case that happened in Shuntian Mansion. My subordinates also took the government officials to investigate for a long time.
, we finally have some clues, and now it is transferred to the Ministry of Punishment. Officials from the Ministry of Punishment will inevitably have to reorganize the case. Wouldn’t it be a waste of time? This case has already involved several lives. We should solve the case as soon as possible, so as to explain to the victim...
…”
"Are you out of your mind?" Shuntian Fu Cheng frowned, "You also know that this case is of great importance. If we continue the investigation like this, we still don't know what the outcome will be. Since the Ministry of Punishment wants to take over, we naturally have to give it with both hands."
After saying this, Shuntian Fu Cheng looked into the prison: "All the criminals related to this case have also been transferred to the Criminal Department. Now the criminals will be shackled and prepared to be sent to the Criminal Department prison."
After Shuntian Fu Cheng finished speaking, he ordered people to take action.
"Sir, someone from the Criminal Department is here."
Huang Qinghe looked not far away and saw a person slowly walking into the prison. This person's eyes were like bright moons, and he had an elegant demeanor. Although he was only wearing the official uniform of the eighth rank, he moved his hands and feet.
But he has a demeanor that is neither humble nor arrogant.
He bowed and saluted the Prime Minister of Shuntian, and said in a clear voice: "Li Xu from the Ministry of Punishment was ordered to come to inquire about the case of Sun Ding."
Whenever a serious case is encountered, the Ministry of Punishment will definitely ask someone to ask about the case, and then the officials who come will issue a document asking the Ministry of Punishment to judge whether to take over the case.
The Zhang family is secretly involved in this matter, and someone needs to go through the motions to deal with it.
Huang Qinghe didn't expect that the person who came was Li Xu, who actually joined the Ministry of Justice so quickly.
Before Lord Song said those words, he might have been happy for Li Xu, but now he couldn't help but wonder whether Li Xu deliberately threw the silver soaked in seawater to Lord Song in order to successfully enter the officialdom.
No matter how far the case goes, Li Xu will not be implicated.
With this thought in his mind, Huang Qinghe suddenly felt that the gentle smile on Li Xu's face was no longer so friendly.
As if sensing Huang Qinghe's alienation, Li Xu was surprised in his heart, but the friendly expression on his face did not weaken in the slightest. He stepped forward and said, "I'll trouble you, Mr. Huang."
"I'm just doing things impartially," Huang Qinghe said, "Master Li came with me to see the case. When the official documents from the Ministry of Punishment come out, I will give Mr. Li the documents of the witness's signature."
In other words, Huang Qinghe would not reveal any inside information to him before the formal documents arrived. Li Xu's eyes moved slightly. Don't guess. Someone must have said something to Huang Qinghe. Who could that person be? Xu Qinghuan or Song Chengxuan
.
Li Xu was thinking about it.
"Sir, someone went to the Yamen to report the crime," the Yamen official reported to Huang Qinghe in a low voice, "They said they found traces of the murderer."
Huang Qinghe frowned when he heard the word murderer: "Who are you talking about?"
The officer said: "That's the second master of the Tan family."
Huang Qinghe's heart sank. The case had made progress again at this time, whether it was a blessing or a curse.
…
Mrs. Tan traveled most of Dongshan but still found no trace of Tan Guangwen.
Although it had been many years, she still clearly remembered that she took the two brothers up the mountain along that road, and...she walked all the way up from the foot of the mountain. If Guangwen were here, he should have seen her.
Since Guangwen invited her here, he should be anxious to meet her, but why... there was no movement at all.
Mrs. Tan sat on the rock and panted, her eyes wet with sweat.
"Miss," Meng Lingyun stepped forward and said, "just now a woodcutter said that he saw a young man two days ago, but not here, but in the woods to the north."
Mrs. Tan immediately became energetic and asked someone to help her stand up: "If it doesn't matter, let's get there quickly."
Tan Guangyao waited for a group of people not far away to gradually walk away, with a smile on his face.
His good brother is so close to each other. Have you forgotten that he also came to Dongshan to play with her back then? So the second brother not only sent a letter to his mother, but also told him the hiding place.
His mother is still old, and he doesn’t remember things as clearly as he did back then.
After they arrived at Dongshan, they found a tower forest. He and his brother were playing hide-and-seek in the tower forest. The younger brother hid in a hidden place. He did not find the second brother until the sun was about to set and his mother was about to take them away.
The second brother must be hiding there this time.
"Let's go," Tan Guangyao said fiercely, "As soon as you find the person, start immediately without any hesitation."
The people around him responded.
Tan Guangyao and his group went straight to Tallinn.
Tallinn is where the bones of eminent monks are buried. In addition to the tomb towers, there is also a broken pagoda standing in it. On the surface, the pagoda is no different from the tomb pagoda, but my brother found a gap to enter.
Go to the tower.
"Right there."
Tan Guangyao pointed forward, and the people around him immediately gathered around him.
