Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 335
In the streets and alleys of Jinling City, there is a wave of public opinion brewing, which gradually explodes like fueling the flames.

A young man in a t-shirt pretended to be mysterious and said: "Have you heard that Peng Qingqing, the daughter of Peng Fu Yin, acted bravely in the street, beat up the evil young man of the Cha family, and got into a lawsuit."

"It is said that Mrs. Cha was beaten to death by Ms. Peng?" Someone asked curiously.

"No, that evil young man heard that he was born with a hidden disease. He was already in poor health, but he was drained by wine and sex in the past few years. He did a lot of evil and was punched a few times. He died of illness when he returned."

"So, she wasn't beaten to death by Miss Peng?"

The scholar said: "Miss Peng didn't act cruelly, she left a lot of leeway. It was because the young master of the Cha family was too useless that he lost his life."

This public opinion also began to spread in restaurants and teahouses, East and West Grass Market, brothel painting boats, and the bustling areas on both sides of the Qinhuai River, and more people joined the ranks of denouncing Cha's family.

After all, the little son of the Cha family, Zha Yuanshang, was usually full of crimes, and everyone heard that, now that he passed away, many people felt very happy to relieve their hatred, but they felt wronged that Miss Peng was sent to prison.

"Miss Peng should not be arrested, she is killing harm for the people!"

"The Cha family deserves their crimes, and they deserve what they deserve when they die. Ms. Peng should be released."

"We want to avenge Miss Peng and convey public opinion!"

A drinker murmured loudly: "I heard that some scholars of the Taiyuan Academy, Liu Dong, Jiang Tao, and Xia Baosong were also summoned to the prison of the Criminal Ministry. They will go to trial tomorrow. As important witnesses, the students of the Taiyuan Academy, It is mobilizing to release Liu Jiangxia and the three to support Miss Peng."

The Cha family passed by, and when they heard such words, they cursed angrily, but there were too many people talking behind their backs, and they couldn't stop them.

Wei Cen, Chen Jue, Feng Yanlu and other bigwigs of the Song Party sneered after hearing the public opinion here and there. They felt that this kind of trick alone could not control the situation, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice could not be affected by such rumors. And letting people go is useless.

"The rumors should have been spread by Sun Dang and the Jiangning Mansion. Are Su Chen and Sun Dang at their wit's end this time?"

"Detaining Peng Qingqing is the one who slaps Sun Dang in the face. Su Chen will also resent the officials and Sun Dang because of this, creating an irreparable gap!"

"Su Chen's fate will not be much better in the future!"

Most of the officials of the Sun Party gloated in this way.

The supervisory censor of the Yushitai procuratorate has six inspectors, who are responsible for investigating and apprehending officials from Shangshu Province and the six ministries, etc. Beijing officials must be supervised by them. Some of these people have already begun to write memorials at home, demanding that the matter be strictly investigated. Just because Peng Qingqing is the Governor of Jiangning, he should not be indulged, or even impeach Peng Zeliang's goddaughter, so that he should be removed from the position of Governor.

But there are also some officials who are racking their brains at home to write notes, in order to keep Peng Zeliang's position, and at the same time complain for Peng Qingqing. However, it should conform to public opinion and should not be severely sentenced.

In short, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on, a court turmoil stirs up, and more and more officials are involved.

At the court meeting the next day, You Jianyan, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, launched the attack. He was originally a member of the Song Party and also served as the minister of the Ministry of Rites. Peng Qingqing's case immediately became a place for debate in the imperial court, and officials from the three parties expressed their views on Peng Qingqing's case.

Li Yu stretched out his hand and patted the dragon chair, and shouted: "Enough, I know more about this matter than what you hear from hearsay, don't be pretentious, exaggerate here, take the wrong direction, I have decided to let Dali Temple, The Ministry of Punishment, the Yushi Taiyuan, and the three divisions will be interrogated. The judges must be above the third rank, such as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the Minister of the Criminal Ministry, the Yushi Zhongcheng, or the Taiyuan Shiyushi, who are responsible for hearing the case. In addition, King Ji Li Congqian, Minister of Officials Han Xizai, and Minister of Rites You Jianyan listened in, and Su Chen and the palace physician participated in the inspection of Cha Yuanshang's body to find out the exact cause of death and use evidence to reveal the truth."

After hearing the words, some officials were stunned. Is it necessary to make such a big move?

Besides, Su Chen also participated, what's the situation?
You Jianyan cupped his hands and said: "Qizhuo is an official, Su Chen has no fame or position yet, he participated in the trial of the three divisions, and he is not in line with the etiquette, I hope the officials will think twice!"

Zhong Mo, who is also the minister of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said: "This statement is wrong. Su Chen is known as the number one genius in Jiangzuo. He also learned ancestral medicine and cured smallpox. Even though he has no fame and fortune, he has become a prince and empress. The doctor in charge, he has this ability, and it is only natural that he participates in the case."

Wei Cen, the servant of the criminal department, cupped his hands and said, "Officials can use Su Chen to cure diseases and save lives, but Su Chen may not be able to use him in investigating cases; what's more, the perpetrator Peng Qingqing is Su Chen's fiancée. According to the law, relatives and friends related to the case Friends, you should avoid the case and not personally participate in the trial, so as not to interfere too much and use power for personal gain."

"That's right, this law cannot be violated, Su Chen should avoid suspicion!" A censor stepped forward to speak.

The Yushitai is divided into three parts: the procuratorate, the Taiyuan, and the palace courtyard. The officials in the court are responsible for picketing different objects. , responsible for the responsibility of the pickets to hear prison lawsuits, is one of the three divisions that tried the case this time.

Li Yu shook his head and said: "It's okay! Su Chen just checked the corpse with the imperial doctors, not letting him try the case. There is a difference in nature. I have already received news that the youngest son of the Cha family in the city, Cha Yuanshang, is full of evil and bullies on weekdays. Male bullying and female dominance have done many bad things. The public opinion in the city is supporting Peng Qingqing, singing and praying for her. This is the public opinion! There are also rumors that Cha Yuanshang did not die from Peng Qingqing's fists and kicks, but has other secrets. Therefore, It's not clear what the truth is about this matter, so we can't directly identify Peng Qingqing as the murderer and ignore many details of the case."

After hearing these words, the civil and military officials in the court already felt that this official family was favoring Su Chen, speaking for Peng Qingqing's justice, and raised public opinion.

Han Shilang stood up and said: "I have no objection, and I am willing to participate in the trial of the case and supervise the judgment of the third division."

As soon as he finished speaking, many officials twitched the corners of their mouths. The officials announced that they were allowing you to sit in on the hearing. If it came to his mouth, they would really give money to themselves. They would become the supervisor of the third division and judge the case. It sounded like they were controlling the third division. .

King Ji stood up and said, "Your brother also has no objection, and will attend the trial in person."

"I obey the official and family sages." Although You Jianyan is old, he still knows how to please the emperor.

Li Yu nodded slightly, announced the dispersal of the court, and asked the third division to review the case in the afternoon.
