Xu Zhi and Gongsun Kang did not make a fuss at the grand master's banquet, which made some people a little disappointed.
Regardless of whether they were learners or people joining in the fun, many people rushed towards Wangjing City after the banquet.
These two have been fighting each other for several days, and Wangjing has become so lively.
Zhao Mu didn't say anything, and Fu Guo and Your Majesty didn't have any objections. The great masters turned a blind eye. It seemed that the situation was under control.
I just don't know how it will end in the end.
Everyone has their own guesses about the ending.
But the situation developed much faster than imagined.
As soon as the aircraft landed, some people heard the news that Gongsun Kang had surrendered to the inspection department.
"Grandmaster Gongsun really surrendered?"
"Surrendered."
"it's a pity."
"It's a pity."
What exactly is a pity, neither of us can explain clearly.
It's a pity that there is no reference to the fight, or Gongsun Kang's rebellious spirit against the inspection of the Inspection Department, or there is a lack of more exciting scenes...
Everyone has different ideas.
In the interrogation hall of the Wangjing City Inspection Department, many inspectors and secretaries were sitting on both sides.
The trial involved Gongsun Kang, who had a very important position in northern Hunan.
They need records and witnesses, and they also need to take over the follow-up investigation involving Gongsun Kang's case.
This is the first major case since Xu Zhi took office, and it has many causal implications.
They can also know the young master's bias from it, which will be more convenient for the people below to do things and avoid violating taboos.
Above is Xu Zhi sitting upright, and below is Gongsun Kang who is awaiting trial.
The concept of strict hierarchy is deeply rooted in the people's hearts. The interrogation hall still follows the system of the former yamen, but the participants are different.
"Who is coming down the stage?"
Xu Zhi flipped through the "Three Hundred Routine Trial Questions" on the front desk and chose an ordinary opening statement.
"The sinner Gongsun Kang."
Having already decided to bow his head, Gongsun Kang did not show off his quick words and acted quite cooperatively.
As long as Xu Zhi didn't dig any big holes for him to jump into, Gongsun Kang decided to cooperate and fully cooperate.
As long as this guy can stay quietly in the inspection department from now on and don't go to their place every three to five days, that's fine.
Either you can beat him and arrest him directly, or you can't beat him and you are embarrassed and go back and let someone else check.
But I can’t get up, I can’t get down, I’m always in a draw, and there seems to be no end in sight.
He didn't exhaust Xu Zhi to death. Xu Zhi had already tortured him so much that he couldn't stand it anymore. Gongsun Kang had had enough of this kind of life.
If he hadn't had this opportunity at the grand master's banquet, he might have resisted a few more times, but there were too few opportunities to give gifts in an honest way, so he had to seize this opportunity, hoping to end this big trouble early.
"You call yourself a sinner. It seems that you are very aware of the crime you have committed. Secretary, please give Gongsun Kang paper and pen and ask him to write well."
Xu Zhi waved to Fan Tiexin who was beside him, and Fan Tiexin, who had been his partner for several years, immediately trotted over.
"Do you want me to remember it, or do you do it yourself?" Fan Tiexin asked.
"I'll do it myself."
After a few words of conversation, Xu Zhi seemed to have not dug a hole yet. Gongsun Kang thought about it and recalled some of the mistakes he had made.
The incident of hurting people in Jianmen Mountain nine years ago must be written down. As for other things, Gongsun Kang also has a headache.
He couldn't make the injury to Xu Zhi too obvious. It would look like Xu Zhi was retaliating. In that case, Xu Zhi would definitely not close the case.
But he can't cause trouble for himself.
But Xu Zhi happened to have a thick stack of black information there.
Gongsun Kang squinted his eyes several times and finally gave up the idea of peeking.
He was like an answer sheet at this time.
Answering the answer sheet well and taking the initiative to plead guilty will naturally reduce some trouble.
If the answer is not good, for example, some records that are not in the file appear, it will inevitably cause some trouble.
Thinking of Gongsun Du's nagging, he couldn't help but hesitate a little when he started writing.
This is the age of young people, the world is different, and their thinking is gradually becoming different from that of old antiques like them.
The times are evolving, and any previous dominators, manipulators, and monopolies will slowly come to an end.
The emergence of new things such as shopping platforms and royal carriages continues to break the situation of the older generation dividing their territory for profit.
The above obviously intended to clear out a group of blood-sucking insects and break the deadlock in Dongyue.
Gongsun Kang even suspected that the Inspection Department was taking advantage of the turmoil of Kujiao to thoroughly investigate wealthy families in the name of righteousness, constantly breaking up the original structure, and continuously returning many rights to the state.
Getting out early is not necessarily a bad thing.
How many moves should be made, how many should be written down, Gongsun Kang gradually had a score in his mind.
As long as Xu Zhi does not accuse him of assassinating the Inspector General, resisting arrest, and defying the laws of the empire, he will act within the rules of the law throughout his life, and the evil he has done will not be beyond control.
This is a common problem among the older generation. Not many people can overcome it, and there are more or less faults.
fine, imprisonment.
There is no doubt that these two items were the only ones that were used when sentencing, and they were far from the level of the death penalty.
Ultimately it's just a matter of how much money is lost and how many years of freedom in life are lost.
The family will not be brought down.
The consequences he endured were much stronger than those faced by Xu Zhige.
While Gongsun Kang was writing rapidly, Xu Zhi's index finger kept tapping on the desk, and the sound of tapping continued to reverberate in everyone's hearts.
The feud with Gongsun Kang will end at that time.
He is not a person who is unforgiving when he is in power, and needs to grasp the appropriate measures.
This is something that everyone in Dongyue is paying attention to, and there must be a correct direction.
Many high-ranking families were involved in the wrong things Gongsun Kang did. If the punishment was too severe, he would inevitably become the target of public criticism.
The punishment was too lenient, allowing many aristocratic families to relax. Zhao Mu, your superiors and others are still watching, fearing that they will give him a stick when the time comes.
Some things are very painful when they are exposed, but when faced with cleaning up, everything needs to be done.
Now it depends on how many crimes Gongsun Kang will admit to.
It is impossible for the Inspection Department to investigate these many files and completely prove each incident.
Many cases have been recorded in many files for too long, and many things have even been forgotten.
It is extremely difficult to uncover witnesses and exhibits again.
Great practitioners live too long, and some of the people involved have even been dead for decades.
Some of the files produced by the Gongsun family in recent years are neither painful nor itchy, and are difficult to put to great use.
It is most appropriate for Gongsun Kang to take the initiative to plead guilty. This saves him a lot of trouble and is beneficial to both parties.
Gongsun Kang under the desk took longer to copy than Xu Zhi imagined. He stopped after nearly three hours.
This is much more than what Zang Suxin wrote in her confession.
Great practitioners write extremely fast, and Gongsun Kang may have written tens of thousands of words.
"Since the sinner Gongsun Kang was sixteen years old, due to his small talent, he inevitably contracted some bad habits and acted domineeringly. It has been one hundred and twenty years now."
"Thinking about some past events, I hate what I have done in the past, and I am willing to change my mind from now on. I also hope that the Inspection Department can give Gongsun Kang a chance to start a new life."
Gongsun Kang happily submitted the confession and sat down below to wait for Xu Zhi to read it.
He was also secretly calculating the price he would have to pay.
A single move can affect the whole body. Naturally, he is not the only one in this confession. There are many people involved.
Relatives, friends, descendants, dignitaries, all more or less related to each other.
He has admitted the crime. Whether Xu Zhi can investigate or not is his business.
To this day, Gongsun Kang feels that he has finally come back.
Xu Zhi followed the iron law when conducting investigations. He was the first quagmire, and there were countless quagmires waiting for him behind.
We all have to suffer together.
If Xu Zhi stepped into this pit, he would not be able to escape easily. He would definitely offend a large number of people.
If Xu Zhi doesn't investigate, then he has no laws and ignores violations of laws and disciplines. He will be blamed in the future.
"Have you ever thought about whether there are any omissions in this?" Xu Zhi asked: "There must be no omissions. When the inspection is carried out in the future, the punishment will be much stronger than it is now."
"No, there are only so many things I have done in my life that I feel guilty about but have not been punished for."
The criminal law is slowly being revised, and there are some crimes in Gongsun Kang's confession that may seem serious today, but at that time they were in compliance with the law and it was difficult to convict him.
This is Gongsun Kang's confession.
Recording the various violations he felt throughout his life, including even unpunished driving violations, Xu Zhi felt that the old man had documented all his faults.
Some of the cases were very old and involved a very long period of time. They needed to be supplemented by legal references at that time. In addition, Xu Zhi had a headache just looking at the files in his hands.
In the end, he had to temporarily suspend the interrogation and took Fan Tiexin to the quiet room for inspection.
When he was writing and reviewing, he filled in the crime and punishment items after repeatedly referring to the law and carefully considering them.
"What is the statistical total?"
After reviewing everything, Xu Zhi asked Fan Tiexin.
"Grandmaster Gongsun Kang will be imprisoned for a total of thirty-five years and nine months, fined 126.53 million, and will be required to perform hard labor for an additional seven years and six months."
This punishment is a bit long. Gongsun Kang will probably be imprisoned and worked hard until the day he dies of old age. It is not suitable for ruler guidance.
Xu Zhi had to make new plans, and at this time he also began to seek help from various experts.
