The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 332 The Iron Case? !
Yang Qingyuan was leading Zhou Zhiruo all the way to Dali Temple.

"Brother Qingyuan! Are you unwilling to help that grandma!?"

Yang Qingyuan glanced at Zhou Zhiruo unexpectedly, "Why do you think so?!"

"If you really think grandma is wronged, you definitely won't let Sister Wang Shu go to the Ministry of Punishment alone!"

Yang Qingyuan smiled and shook his head in denial, "It can't be said that he doesn't want to help Grandma Li, it's just that there is probably no problem with this case!"

Many people have doubts about the ancient law, thinking that a county magistrate can easily create unjust cases and sentence people to death, but this is not the case.

Taking Dazhou as an example, the strictness of the review of the death penalty is not even inferior to the laws of the later generations of Blue Star.

Such major cases are subject to strict jurisdictional restrictions. Generally, such vicious cases involving homicide, rape, and robbery at the same time should be transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for investigation and trial.

But in many cases, due to a series of subjective and objective reasons such as long distances and insufficient manpower in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Ministry of Criminal Justice cannot personally investigate and sentence, so it will approve the document, and the county magistrate or prefect will try it on his own and submit it to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review.

The Wannian County case was the Wannian county magistrate authorized by the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The magistrate of Wannian County could only try after its jurisdiction was transferred to Wannian County.

After Wannian county magistrate intends to sentence him to beheading, he must submit the complete case file to the Ministry of Punishment. After the Ministry of Punishment reviews it, it will be transferred to Dali Temple for review!After the review of Dali Temple is correct, the Ministry of Punishment will accept the emperor, and the emperor will preview and approve it.

Before the death penalty is confirmed, three petitions must be passed before the death penalty can be decided.

This is the death penalty trilogy. If it involves high officials and dignitaries, such as Wen Jie, it needs to be approved five times, which is the death penalty quintuple.

Now, since the date of interrogation and beheading has been confirmed, it means that the previous procedures have been completed, and the possibility of becoming an unjust case is extremely small.

This is the second dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The high-ranking officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty are considered to be politically clear. The Ministry of Punishment Shangshu Weidong came, and everyone in Dali Temple is not a person who perverts the law, and their abilities are not weak.

It is not impossible to bypass so many people and create an unjust case, but it is indeed extremely difficult and unnecessary.

Judging by the appearance of Grandma Li, she is just an ordinary poor family. With such energy, just hire a killer and it's over. Why bother? !
Yang Qingyuan briefly explained to Zhou Zhiruo.

"Then why did Brother Qingyuan help her?!"

"It's just a matter of little effort for me. If I can really find out the doubts, I can naturally avoid an unjust case from happening. If the trial is correct, it can also make Granny Li give up!"

"I'm afraid it's more than that!" Zhou Zhiruo said secretly in her heart. She thought of Liu Wangshu's eyes wanting to help, and Yang Qingyuan's doting and compromising smile just now, and she only felt that Liu Wangshu was a lifelong enemy!

If I want to defeat such a powerful opponent, I have a long way to go!
Just like that, Zhou Zhiruo followed Yang Qingyuan to Dali Temple with her own thoughts.
-
On the other side, Liu Wangshu led Granny Li and Yaya, and walked slowly all the way to the gate of the Ministry of Punishment.

"Who are you guys?! You are not allowed to trespass in the most important place of the Ministry of Punishment!"

The two soldiers in charge of guarding stopped Liu Wangshu and the others.

"The housewife is wronged! The son of the housewife, Li Shou, has suffered innocent injustice, and please look into it!" Granny Li dragged Yaya and knelt down at the gate of the Ministry of Criminal Justice!
It was not the first time that the two guards had encountered this situation, and they seemed very calm.

"Hand over the complaint you are waiting for!"

Granny Li immediately handed over the paper in her hand!

"Wait here, wait a minute! I'll hand it in."

One of the guards took the pleadings and walked towards the Criminal Department.

The three of them waited at the door for about half an hour. The guard who had just entered came out and returned the complaint to Grandma Li.

"This case has already been reviewed by Dali Temple! The Emperor's Royal Approval! It's accurate, there can be no grievances! You should go back, old man!"

Hearing this result, Grandma Li obviously couldn't accept it.

"Master, please ask me again!!"

The officer in charge of the guard felt his heart soften when he saw the appearance of Grandma Li and Yaya, and looked at the appearance of Liu Wangshu, he was not an ordinary person either.

In the capital, beautiful women dare not offend, you will never know which official she is under the control of? !
And Liu Wangshu was the most beautiful woman the guard had ever seen, bar none.

"Then let me ask again!"

The guard ran all the way again and entered the punishment department.

About a quarter of an hour later, the guard came out dejectedly, and threw the pleadings in his hands to the two, "Let's go! Let's go! This case is all right! I was scolded by the adults!"

The guard felt unlucky for a while, originally thinking that he could curry favor with this noble man.

Unexpectedly, he was directly reprimanded by the doctor of the criminal department in charge of the case!
"I don't care who is noble or not, this case has been carefully inspected by the official, and has been returned twice to Wannian County to supplement evidence and complete the statement. There is absolutely no problem!"

After the doctor of the Ministry of punishment finished speaking, he blasted the guard out.

"Can't you listen to this aunt talk about grievances?!"

Liu Wangshu held Fuyao in his hand, stepped forward and asked.

Looking at Liu Wangshu's appearance and the sword in her hand, he knew that Liu Wangshu was not easy to mess with, but he had just been reprimanded by the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment, so he was in no mood.

"Let's go! Come on! Stop messing around in the prison of the Criminal Department, or you will be arrested and sent to the prison of the Criminal Department!"

The guard made a threatening gesture.

Liu Wangshu's eyes turned cold, and he was about to strike, but thinking of the token that Yang Qingyuan had just given him, he still endured it.

The guard didn't know that he was only one step away from being beaten up.

Liu Wangshu took out a token and a name card from his sleeve.

"Liu Wangshu of Dali Temple, please see Mr. Minister Wei of the Ministry of Punishment!"

The three words "Dali Temple" stunned the guards!
Today's Dali Temple is not the small shabby yamen of the past, but a new organization with so much power that it even overshadows the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Dali Temple holds the power to review criminal cases, which is enough to check and balance the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice have the power to arrest and judge, but the six gates responsible for arrest and execution are now almost becoming the younger brothers of Dali Temple!
In terms of weight, the Ministry of Punishment is already somewhat inferior to Dali Temple. The only thing that surpasses it is that the power of execution is still firmly in the hands of the Ministry of Punishment.

Even so, the Ministry of Criminal Justice still attaches great importance to Dali Temple, not to mention that Liu Wangshu, a guest minister, still holds the name card and token of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

The token of Dali Temple represents Liu Wangshu's identity.

Yang Qingyuan's famous post represents the relationship between Yang Qingyuan and Liu Wangshu.

When these two things are handed over at the same time, let alone a doctor of the Ministry of punishment, even Shangshu Wei Donglai of the Ministry of punishment has to think about it.

Sure enough, after the guard entered the door with the token and the name card, an official in a green official robe trotted out the door just before tea time.

"Which one is Miss Liu from Dali Temple?!"

Liu Wangshu took a step forward, "I am!"

The moment he saw Liu Wangshu, Zhao Chenzhao's eyes lit up, and then he saluted, "Zhao Chenzhao, the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment, has seen Miss Liu!"

Zhao Chenzhao placed his position extremely low, let alone the guard of the Ministry of Punishment.

Even Liu Wangshu was a little confused. Are all the people in the Criminal Department so polite? !
The doctor of the Ministry of punishment, from the fifth grade, according to the orthodox promotion route of imperial officials, the next step is to send one side out to test the ability and increase the resume.

Once released, the size is also a prefect of a county, or even a governor of a government.

That corresponds to the top leaders of Blue Star's prefecture-level cities and provincial capitals.

Such a person, in front of Liu Wangshu, appears to be courteous and courteous, how can there be any reason for this? !

But a person who can be mixed into the doctor of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs of the fifth grade, would he have such a lack of style and bearing? !

It's not unreasonable for people to be able to mix to the fifth rank.

Who is Liu Wangshu? !It's just the guest minister of Dali Temple.

The so-called Keqing is just a nice way of saying it. In the eyes of the officials and gentlemen of the court, they are actually high-level thugs. Such people are not as good as in the eyes of ordinary civil officials.

Just refer to the embarrassing position of Liu Dufeng, the god catcher, in the imperial court before he was knighted. In the eyes of civil officials, Guanghui martial arts is just a martial artist, and he can't stand on the stage.

But Liu Wangshu's situation was different. She brought the name card of Yang Qingyuan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the scholar of Wenhua Palace.

The name post is not a modern name card. Being able to obtain the name card of the owner shows that the relationship between the holder of the name post and the master is extraordinary. Generally, only teachers and students, close friends, and party members will exchange names in official circles. posts to realize the sharing of political resources.

So now there is a young girl who comes here with Yang Qingyuan's name card, so what is the relationship between her and Yang Qingyuan? !
If it's just a guest official from Dali Temple who comes to work, do you need a name card? !Isn't one token enough? !
This famous post is a symbol of Liu Wangshu's extraordinary status!

Zhao Chenzhao had heard that today's son intended to marry Yang Qingyuan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, many times, but they were all declined!
Could this Liu Wangshu have something to do with it?
Therefore, when Zhao Chen heard the news, he had already started to think in his heart.

It has to be said that the thinking of the people in the Ministry of Criminal Justice is very strong, and Zhao Chenzhao's level of inference is not weak. This thinking has already guessed [-]% of the truth.

When he came to the door and saw Liu Wangshu's face, Zhao Chen could confirm that this Liu Wangshu definitely had an affair with Yang Qingyuan!
Zhao Chenzhao can set a flag, and if there is innocence between the two, his name will be read backwards!

You thought Zhao Chen was on the first floor, but Zhao Chen was actually on the fifth floor!
If Liu Wangshu is really the legendary Mrs. Yang, then Zhao Chenzhao will make a lot of money!

For Liu Wangshu's sake, Yang Qingyuan could evade His Majesty's marriage proposal, which shows Liu Wangshu's position in Yang Qingyuan's heart!
And Yang Qingyuan, at a young age, is already a Bachelor of Wenhua Palace!The future is limitless!Zhao Chenzhao naturally also made friends.

But there are too many people who want to befriend Yang Qingyuan!He, Zhao Chen, still counts that onion? !What's the use of simply making friends? !Yang Qingyuan must be transformed into his political resources, friends and backers who can be pushed at critical moments!
Isn't this opportunity right around the corner? !Make friends with the future Mrs. Yang, and ask her to say a few good words on her behalf, won't my official career be much smoother in the future! ?

Even if the above guesses are all wrong, it doesn't matter, Zhao Chenzhao's investment is just a respectful attitude and a small favor at the moment, and there is no real loss for him.

Except for Liu Jibai who won all the way, other bureaucrats who can get into the middle level in the six departments have a few brushes!
Liu Wangshu is not a mortal either, and he quickly recovered from the state of being surrounded by Zhao Chenzhao's enthusiasm.

"Lord Zhao, I'm here this time because of Li Shou's case! This old lady has a grievance to report."

People are polite, so Liu Wangshu can't be too shameless.

"Hey! Miss Liu, the evidence in this case is as solid as a mountain. It has been settled and cannot be changed. I am afraid that your trip will be in vain!"

Granny Li pulled Yaya and knelt on the ground, "Sir, you should check again! My son really didn't kill anyone! He is an honest person, he has read sage books, he won't kill anyone!"

Seeing that the three were persistent, Zhao Chen knew that the three would not give up without an explanation, so he shook his head and said, "Come with me!"

With that said, Zhao Chenzhao brought the three of them into a study room of the Ministry of Punishment.

A clerk saw Zhao Chenzhao and immediately saluted, "Master Zhao!"

"Find out the file of the Li Shouyi case reported by Wannian County and make a copy!"

Although the scribe didn't understand Zhao Chenzhao's actions, he still followed Zhao Chenzhao's instructions!
The three scribes worked together and copied the complete dossier within half an hour.

"Miss Liu, this is Li Shou's case. The complete copy of the file was originally not allowed to be handed over to you for review, but after all, you are a member of Dali Temple and have the right to review criminal cases. If I do this, it can't be regarded as exceeding the limit! This case has been sent back to me twice, you can bring back the complete file and show it to Mr. Yang, he will naturally understand what I mean!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Chenzhao handed the file in his hand to Liu Wangshu.

Although Liu Wangshu didn't understand the court's regulations, he also knew that Zhao Chenzhao was already trying his best to help. After saluting to Zhao Chenzhao, he left the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment with Granny Li and Yaya.
-
And in Dali Temple at this moment, Yang Qingyuan also found the review file sent by the Ministry of Punishment.

Li Shou, a native of Wannian County, is a recorded Tongsheng.

This Tongsheng is no ordinary scholar.

The so-called Tongsheng refers to scholars who have passed the two local examinations of the county examination and the county (prefecture) examination, so they can be called Tongsheng.

But this is only the starting point of the imperial examination. Only after becoming a Tongsheng can one be qualified to take the examination. Only after passing the examination can one be called a scholar.

Although there has been a saying of poor and poor scholars since ancient times, scholars are already the best among scholars.

As for Li Shou, who was above the imperial examinations, he didn't seem to have any talent. He was just a boy in his thirties, and he didn't even pass the college examination.

It is such a person who has read the books of sages and sages, who actually committed murder, rape, and plundering of property!
Yang Qingyuan took the file and examined it carefully.

The case was reviewed by Di Zhiyuan's clerks before, and it is unlikely that there will be any problems.

On April [-]th, Liu Xue, the daughter of Liu Fa, a local member of Wannian County, was found dead in her boudoir. In addition, a concierge of the Liu family was also killed!

The local government immediately cooperated with Six Gates to solve the case.

According to Liu Xue's daily communication, Liu Fan found a person who was acquainted with the daughter of the Liu family - Li Shou.

Li Shou and Liu Xue met at an art exhibition. Although Li Shou was a child, he was poor and could only make a living by selling paintings on behalf of books.

The officials of Hucao in Wannian County found Li Shou's residence through household registration tracing, but the arresters of the six doors were in vain.

Li Shou's family has only his mother and daughter, but Li Shou's whereabouts are unknown.

Three days later, the police from Six Doors captured Li Shou in a gambling house.

After several days of interrogation, Li Shou confessed to his crimes. The police from Six Gates and the Yamen from Wannian County also found the bloody clothes and dirty silver buried by Li Shou in the courtyard of Li Shou's house.

Later, the murder weapon was also found in a small river outside Sanhe Village!
So far, the evidence is complete, and there are witnesses. Li Shou had entered and left the Li residence, and Li Shou himself confessed to the crime, so Wannian County closed the case accordingly and reported it to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

From the perspective of the case file, this case can be said to be one of the rare iron cases among the cases sent by the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review!
Later, it also attached the verification of various evidences by the special personnel of the Ministry of Punishment.

On the surface, there is nothing wrong with the facts and procedures.

Even the rigor of this case is enough to rank in the top three among the major cases of the Criminal Ministry this year.

Similar to Yang Qingyuan's previous estimate, this case is probably not a problem.

Now we are waiting for Liu Wangshu's news from the Ministry of Punishment!
-
Not long after Yang Qingyuan finished checking the file, Liu Wangshu rushed back with the original file from the Ministry of Punishment.

"Brother Yang, this is the transcribed dossier brought by the Ministry of Punishment. Take a look, maybe you can find clues and flaws in it!"

Yang Qingyuan took the case file from Liu Wangshu's hand.

"Where's Granny Li and Yaya?!"

"I arranged for them to rest in the side hall. They are from poor families and cannot afford an inn. They have come all the way from Wannian County, and they have never had a good rest!"

Yang Qingyuan nodded, unfolded the original file, and read it carefully.

After about two quarters, Yang Qingyuan shook his head after analyzing the original files of the Ministry of Punishment.

"There should be no problem with this case file! At least the Ministry of Criminal Justice is paying attention."

Liu Wangshu was puzzled, "Master Zhao, the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment just now, also told me that as long as this file is handed over to you, you will know."

"That's right, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is extremely strict in this case!"

Yang Qingyuan opened the transcript of the original file of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the version sent to Dali Temple for comparison.

"Look! This is the original file of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and this is the case file received by Dali Temple!"

Liu Wangshu saw at a glance that there was no need for it. With similar fonts and the same paper size, the original file of the Ministry of Punishment was much thicker than the file of the Dali Temple!

"Brother Yang, why is this?!"

"This is because what Dali Temple received was the case file confirmed by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and what the Ministry of Criminal Justice recorded was the entire process of the trial and review of the case."

Yang Qingyuan pointed to a page of the original file and said, "So far, this is the first time Wannian County sent this case file to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review, but it was rejected by the Ministry of Criminal Justice! The reason is that the case was closed in a hurry before the murder weapon was found."

As he said that, Yang Qingyuan turned back more than ten pages, "Thus, Wannian County spent more energy searching for the murder weapon, and finally found a sharp knife in a stream in Sanhe Village. It is indeed the murder weapon in this case."

Yang Qingyuan turned back a few pages, "So Wannian County sorted out the file again and handed it over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The result was returned again because the criminal's statement was difficult to correspond to and coherent! Until the third submission, the evidence was complete, the statement and the facts of the case After comparing them one by one, it passed the review of the Ministry of Punishment."

After listening to Yang Qingyuan's words, Liu Wangshu was silent for a long time.

"Then grandma, she..."

"Have you noticed that from the time we met, Grandma Li only said that her son was wronged, but never said that there was any evidence to prove her innocence! The so-called wish only came from the fact that Li Shou was a scholar. In Grandma's eyes, he A good boy!"

Liu Wangshu subconsciously wanted to refute, but found that what Yang Qingyuan said was the truth.

Grandma didn't have any new evidence to prove Li Shou's innocence.

Yes, it's just a mother's unconditional trust in her child!
Liu Wangshu felt powerless, she wanted to help Grandma Li very much, but she really didn't know how to help.

"Then I'll go and give Grandma some silver taels!"

This is the only way Liu Wangshu can think of!
Yang Qingyuan didn't speak, just took the file and walked to the side hall together with Liu Wangshu.

The moment she saw Yang Qingyuan and Liu Wangshu, Grandma Li, who was originally sitting uneasy, immediately stood up.

"Master Yang! I don't know about my son's case..."

Yang Qingyuan didn't choose to hide anything, but simply shook his head.

Grandma Li's original hope disappeared, "Even the adults said that! Then my son is really hopeless?!"

"I carefully checked the file of your son's case in the criminal department. According to the record in the file, the logic of this case is rigorous, the evidence is sufficient, and the possibility of injustice is extremely small!"

Yang Qingyuan didn't say it to death, it was too cruel for an old man who was over sixty years old!
Yaya, who was at a loss while holding the pastry, also felt her grandmother's emotional changes, and said while pulling at the corner of Grandma Li's clothes.

"Grandma! This cake is delicious! Why don't you take a bite!"

The current Yaya still can't understand what happened, so she can only comfort her grandma in her way.

Grandma Li seemed to have made a decision, and then suddenly knelt down.

With a flick of his right hand, Yang Qingyuan supported Granny Li, and said with a wry smile: "Grandma, you are an elder, I can't afford to be your gift!"

"My lord, the old lady has nothing to worry about! The only thing I can't worry about is this granddaughter. If something happens to the common woman, please take care of her!"

With a movement of Yang Qingyuan's true energy, he helped Granny Li up, "Grandma, don't do anything stupid!"

Grandma Li turned around and took out a slightly worn-out book from her rag bag!

The moment Yang Qingyuan saw it, his pupils froze slightly.

"Da Gao".

According to the legacy of the Taizu, those who have grievances that cannot be redressed can enter Beijing with the "Dagao" in their hands, and officials along the way must not stop them. Anyone who violates the order!Kill without mercy!

Those who have grievances, in front of the Daming Palace, beat the Dengwen Drum, no matter what the case is, the emperor must accept the grievances and re-examine the case.

If there is really a grievance, not only will it not be punished, but it will also be rewarded. However, if you rely on this law and falsely accuse someone who has done something wrong, you will be punished eighty times and travel three thousand miles.

Yang Qingyuan has already studied the case files of this case. Even if Grandma Li holds the "Da Gao" and beats the Dengwen drum, without new evidence and clues, it is impossible to reverse the case!
But with Grandma Li's body and bones, eighty responsibilities with a cane are equivalent to death with a cane!

Granny Li saluted Yang Qingyuan and Liu Wangshu!Then we left Dali Temple and headed towards Miyagi!

Yang Qingyuan wanted to persuade him again, but he could see the firmness in Grandma Li's eyes.

"Lord Yang, you are a good official! I know that you have tried your best, and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment have not broken the law! But I can't just watch my guard die! Don't let me, an old lady, waste your future!"

Yang Qingyuan could see the firmness and determination in Grandma Li's eyes when she spoke!

The will to die has been born!

A woman is soft, but a mother is strong!
