Scroll of Xin Characters, Grass Trees in the Setting Sun, Section 64, Ox-Knife Test (1)
"Mr. sir, is the official work very heavy and difficult?" Although Feng Ziying was very busy some time ago, she usually came back at the time of Xu, and rarely came back after the time of Hai, but this time she actually came back at midnight. This cannot be
Don't let Baochai and Baoqin worry anymore.
People in this era did not have such a rich night life, and they usually got up very early in the morning, so it was very common to go to bed at Xu Zheng hour. That is, falling asleep at Hai hour was considered to have slept late, and at midnight it was already eight hundred o'clock.
It's late at night, unlike in modern metropolises, when midnight is the beginning of nightlife.
Feng Ziying came back so late, which made the two women a little worried that their charming husband was having an affair outside. But seeing Feng Ziying's face full of contemplation and tiredness, they knew that it was probably business that was bothering her.
I feel relieved but also feel a little sorry for my husband. This is what happened when I arrived at Shuntian Mansion. It is completely different from what it was like in Yongping Mansion. Although it looks glamorous on the outside, inside it is paid for by my husband’s hard work.
“Well, I came across a case that I found quite interesting, so I spent more time on it and prepared to think about it.”
Feng Ziying didn’t hide anything.
Both girls are here. As usual, they have to rest in Baoqin's house tonight, but Baoqin has come to Baochai's side to guard him early. It seems that both sisters are worried, and he feels a little warm in his heart.
It is always pleasant to be cared for by others, not to mention such a pair of sisters who share the same lotus flower. With a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?
Hmm, it seems that I can’t say that. There are Daiyu and Yingchun, and Tanchun is still waiting. Wouldn’t it be sad for them to hear this?
"Why is your husband so concerned about this case?" Baoqin came forward to change Feng Ziying's clothes. Over there, Ying'er and Lingguan squatted down to take off Feng Ziying's official boots and put on the slippers worn in the house.
"A murder case is quite complicated and involves a wide range of aspects. Everyone has some background. It is considered a hot case that I encountered after arriving at Shuntian Mansion." Feng Ziying smiled, still immersed in many details of the entire case.
inside.
In his opinion, this case is really exciting. No matter which party it is, they all have sufficient motives and reasons for the murder, but there is not enough evidence to prove the other party. In addition, the three parties all have some backgrounds.
Ordinary people can be directly detained and used with extreme skills, which greatly limits the investigation of cases.
The Su family wants to get back the property that they feel should be theirs. If the Zheng family has an affair with an outsider, they naturally want to settle it once and for all to avoid the affair being exposed. And Jiang Ziqi is facing the charge of embezzling money from his business partners, and even
It may lead to the complete collapse of one's reputation and there is no room for recovery, and the possibility of killing someone in a hurry is also very high, but how can one identify who is the real murderer with a sharp eye?
Basically, there is no shortcut for this kind of case. We can only adopt the elimination method, one by one through various details to exclude evidence. Feng Ziying is interested not only because of the case itself, but because this case has been transferred from the Ministry of Punishment to Shuntian Prefecture.
He went back and forth to the Tongzhou Prefectural Government Office and kicked the ball back and forth several times. It had a great impact on the people above and below, and attracted the attention of countless people. If he could take over the trial and solve such a case, it would undoubtedly be beneficial to him in the future.
The prestige of Tianfu has been greatly improved.
Moreover, judging from the situation introduced by Li Wenzheng, the Zheng family is involved with Concubine Zheng, the Jiang family is a prominent family in Miao County and involves officials close to the capital, and the Su family is also a large family in Tongzhou, and Su Yunqian, the censor of Zhongzhong City, is the Inspecting City Inspector.
The Su family's uncle, Su Daqiang and the other direct brothers are Su Yunqian's nephews.
This is the capital city. One case can involve so many and complicated personal relationships. If it is an ordinary case, it would be fine. But this is a murder case, and no one can cover it up.
But which side should be moved? If the evidence of the crime is conclusive, then that's it. No one can say anything. But if you use all means and use severe punishments, but in the end you unjustly accuse a good person, then I'm afraid this matter will go to Shuntian Mansion.
I couldn't eat anymore and walked away.
This is why no one from the Ministry of Punishment to Shuntian Prefecture and the three-level government offices in Tongzhou are willing to take over. If you do a good job, no one will remember your good work. If you do a bad job, you will lose your official position and be punished.
But this matter is a rare opportunity for Feng Ziying.
It was not his duty as the prime minister to try and resolve cases. Wu Daonan would not easily give up the privileges that only belonged to the prime minister to outsiders no matter how much he ignored the government affairs. It was precisely because of the thorny troubles of this case that Wu Daonan decided to take action.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Feng Ziying to fall on him.
If this case can be handled beautifully, it will not only establish a good impression on several parties, but also establish an extremely dazzling and glorious image among the county, the Ministry of Punishment and even the people. This is what Feng Ziying wants.
Although the censors of the City Patrol Yuan were sent from the Ducha Yuan, the five censors of the City Patrol Yuan, like the five commanders of the Wucheng Military and Horse Division, were directly ordered by the emperor. The five censors were responsible for
The five commanders have the power of supervision and impeachment. In a sense, like the salt inspectors of the Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers, they are all subordinate to the emperor's private territory.
Seeing Feng Ziying's high interest, the two women were also quite surprised, so they sat down next to Feng Ziying and wanted to listen to Feng Ziying's introduction to the case.
Feng Ziying thought for a while and briefly introduced the case. In this era, there were no confidentiality rules. It was normal for officials to discuss official matters at home. What's more, this case had long been a hot topic outside and was not considered secret news.
It's just that the details are not as detailed as those mastered by the government.
After listening to Feng Ziying’s introduction, the two girls were also attracted. The brothers of the Su family, Zheng, Jiang Ziqi, everyone has a possibility, but they can’t prove the whereabouts of that night and rule it out. Who is it?
Seeing that the two daughters were like this, Feng Ziying simply took the two daughters to rest in Baochai's room. Baoqin was obviously a little resistant, but seeing that her husband was so interested, she had no choice but to obey. Fortunately, after Feng Ziying went to bed, he only talked about the case with the two daughters.
There was no other extraordinary move, but it made Baoqin feel much more at ease.
After talking for a while, everyone gradually became sleepy, and the three of them hugged each other and fell asleep, which was quite peaceful.
However, in the morning, Feng Ziying was naturally in high spirits, so she took off Baoqin's small clothes and did some morning exercises. She was so embarrassed that Baoqin could only hide her face and raise her buttocks in front of her sister and did not dare to say anything, letting her husband do whatever he wanted.
After having fun, she felt refreshed. Feng Ziying didn't care about her children who were too embarrassed to see other people, and asked Ying'er and Lingguan to change her clothes. However, the situation also made her inhumane children extremely embarrassed, but she almost came back again.
It made Feng Ziying move her index finger.
It’s just that the time at midnight is really not forgiving, so I can only swallow my thoughts, summon up auspiciousness, and go to the Yamen at dawn.
As expected by Feng Ziying, during today's discussion, Wu Daonan used the excuse of being mentally exhausted to hand over the murder case of Su Daqiang to Feng Ziying. This meant dealing with Tongzhou from below, the Ministry of Punishment from above, handling the case internally, and externally.
Among the people, Feng Ziying will be responsible for this case.
When Wu Daonan put forward this opinion very calmly, several officials, including Mei Zhiye, tried their best to keep their faces calm, but Feng Ziying could still feel the gloating and cold-looking thoughts of some people.
In the eyes of many people, this case has been repeated several times from Tongzhou to the government office and then to the Ministry of Punishment. It can be said that almost everything that needs to be investigated has been investigated. A group of suspects have also been summoned to the government office for interrogation many times.
But there are no results. If we want to check again, where to start? It is a waste of people and money. If there is still no result in the end, then the final blame will probably have to be shouldered by the famous Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan.
Feng Ziying saw the hints in the eyes of Fu Shi and Zhu Tan, indicating that she should not take the job, but Feng Ziying readily agreed.
After the meeting ended, the promotion officer Song Xian took the initiative to follow Feng Ziying with a complicated expression. Feng Ziying also knew that this guy was probably in a conflicted mood now. He was happy that someone finally came to take over, but he was also worried that Xiao Feng Xiuzhan might be in other ways.
He has outstanding abilities, but I have never heard of him having any expertise in case trial. He would just do it casually and end up in a mess.
"Zhiyuan, you don't think so highly of me?" Feng Ziying had some friendship with this Song official. Although it was far from close, he also knew that this official was a down-to-earth person, but
As a recommendation officer, he still lacks some spirituality in some aspects of his thinking, but in this era, he is already considered a good person.
“Sir, how dare I think this?” Song Xian shook his head, “But you should know that this case is not about the case itself, but about the things behind the case. If you throw a weapon at the enemy, our Shuntian Mansion is also suffering from both sides.”
"Well, I read part of the case file yesterday, and I plan to spend two days reading it. We will discuss some details later. Since Mr. Fu Yin has handed over the case to me, I must do my best no matter what. If
If there's anything unclear, I'll ask you." Feng Ziying didn't go into details, and now it's time to devote herself to this case. As for what Song Xian was worried about, it wasn't exactly what he was worried about.
Seeing Feng Ziying's confidence, Song Xian could only smile bitterly. This person is really extraordinary, but the other party has the qualifications, but sometimes you can't rely solely on background when trying a case. Even if you can overcome those difficulties, there is still
It may not be possible to fulfill your wish.
"Your Majesty said this, so I wish you success and success. Well, if there is anything you need me to do, please feel free to tell me. I will tell you everything I know." Song Xian also nodded.
