The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 770 The eldest prince's errand
Gu Chengyu sighed inwardly, not knowing whether to say that Yin Kun's comments to him just now were correct, or that Yin Kun was too insensitive to the situation.

"As long as I release the news, I will say that if the tea tax cannot be implemented, the people's taxes will have to be increased. You see? If the tea merchants resist openly, the people will naturally refuse. If they come secretly, then I don't have to be afraid."

Yin Kun looked at Gu Chengyu in amazement, this is a master of maneuvering.

He stroked his beard, "As you said, if those people come in secret, they will be hard to defend against. Two fists can't beat four hands. Besides, there are only thieves for a thousand days, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days? Even if you are not afraid, But what about your family?"

Gu Chengyu knew that Yin Kun was worried about him, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

"Brother, don't worry! I am an official of the imperial court, and this is still at the feet of the emperor. These people don't dare to act too boldly. If they want to make a stumbling block in the officialdom, I will also come to stop them."

Yin Kun is still a little worried, those people will do everything for money.

"You still have to be careful, those people are not easy to get along with." He was even more worried about Gu Chengyu's indifferent attitude.

"Senior brother! Wealth and wealth are in danger, and people cannot help themselves in the officialdom. If you are always timid, how can you make a big difference?"

Gu Chengyu was not just persuading Yin Kun, but also to motivate himself.

Yin Kun was speechless, this little junior was different from himself, and he didn't know whether such a temperament was a blessing or a curse.

He thought of his junior brother He Jisheng, who was also very similar to Gu Chengyu in temperament, but He Jisheng was more unscrupulous.

"It's good for you to be modest. The teacher has retired and can't help you much. Although your second brother and I can help you, our ability is limited after all."

Yin Kun gave another piece of advice. He has a different temperament from Gu Chengyu, and he can only keep it.

Although he doesn't understand Gu Chengyu's radicalism, Gu Chengyu is always his junior brother, and he still wants to help when necessary.

"Thank you for your support, brother. Since I got together with my brother, I have taken care of me a lot. I will be careful in the future, so as not to cause trouble to the teacher and the brothers."

To be able to do this, Yin Kun, as a senior brother, has done his best.

"Okay! Our brothers don't need to be so polite. You have to be careful recently. The emperor may want to install a prince, and the capital is a little turbulent. Your rank is too low. Don't get involved in the princes' game. Let it go for a while. "

Yin Kun was afraid that Gu Chengyu would show his sharpness too much, and let the princes drag him into the vortex of seizing the crown.

"Is the day when the emperor establishes the crown prince approaching? What happened to those princes?" Gu Chengyu frowned and thought about it, then asked.

"The eldest prince received an errand from the Ministry of Criminal Justice three months ago, and the emperor ordered him to check the criminal case files in recent years, but the third prince's party took a copy of it a while ago."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Gu Chengyu was a little surprised, how could the eldest prince do the checking of the case himself?
For those death penalty cases, as long as the Ministry of Criminal Justice has reviewed them, it is unlikely that they will be overturned after further verification.

"Two months ago, there was a massacre in Hejian Mansion. There were six people in that family. It is said that the murderer was their neighbor, and the murder weapon was a knife. But the murder weapon was not found, and the neighbor refused. deny."

"Originally, this case has already been reviewed by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the man wanted to be executed in autumn. But the First Prince happened to be assigned by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and there was a policeman under the Hejian Mansion who found other evidence and felt that there was something wrong with this matter. "

Yin Kun gave an overview of the matter in one breath, and then picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

"If there is something wrong with this matter, then look for evidence and go to the Ministry of Punishment for a re-examination. How could you participate in the First Prince's book?"

"If that's the case, then it's no big deal. But the problem is that the prisoner died, died in prison, and his neck was cut off. The murder weapon was a sharp knife, which coincided with the murder weapon that killed the family."

"Oh?" Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, which was quite interesting.

"It's impossible for that person to carry the murder weapon when he was caught in prison, right? Then there might be someone else as the murderer!"

Gu Chengyu thought for a while, couldn't it be that someone brought the murder weapon into the prison, and then that person committed suicide in fear of crime?

But this is not necessary at all, anyway, Qiuhou Wenqiu is going to kill him, so there is no need to commit suicide at this moment?

"I don't know, anyway, the censors got hold of this matter. It is said that the eldest prince was assigned an errand by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but mistakenly regarded an innocent person as a prisoner, causing the prisoner to die in prison and letting the murderer go unpunished."

Although Yin Kun felt that the eldest prince was wronged by this matter, who asked the eldest prince to work in the Ministry of Punishment?

Those people are worrying about not having the opportunity to catch the eldest prince's mistakes, isn't this an opportunity?
"This is a bit far-fetched. The people in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs are all reviewing the clues in the file. If new clues are found, they will not be reported immediately, which will lead to the Ministry of Criminal Justice's wrong judgment. Doesn't this seem to be in line with common sense?"

Gu Chengyu felt a little strange, the people from the criminal department were in the capital, how could they know the progress of the case immediately?

Yin Kun shook his head, "If the Ministry of Punishment doesn't know about the new progress, then forget it, but the Hejian Mansion has stepped up and sent new clues to the Ministry of Punishment. This is the Ministry of Punishment's dereliction of duty."

"The Ministry of Punishment can't wait to delay." Gu Chengyu understood a little bit, and sent the prisoner to the capital so quickly, did the prisoner die in prison?This world is pretty good.

However, in the usual way, this matter is actually not a big deal for the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Because if the prisoner hadn't been killed, he would still be in prison.

There was still time to re-examine the case, but I didn't expect the prisoner to die like this.

What's more troublesome is that the First Prince is working in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, those people's purpose is naturally to catch the First Prince.

Are there still few unjust, false and wrongly decided cases in ancient times?It is very possible that the case was wrongly judged. If it is not discovered, is it right to make a mistake?

Besides, the protection of officials and officials has existed since ancient times. Even if the people who come to check see something, there are still ways to put those wrong cases to rest.

"But did someone come out to be a scapegoat?"

Gu Chengyu felt that the eldest prince must cherish his reputation in this stall, and he still has a great hope of becoming the crown prince.

Yin Kun has become numb to Gu Chengyu's intelligence, "Naturally, one of the chief officials of the Hejian Mansion's Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Punishment took over. He forgot to report and hand in the files sent by Hejian Mansion to him."

Gu Chengyu shook his head, regardless of whether this person came out to top the tank or it was the fact.Things that only needed to be punished in the past will definitely lose their black hat this time.

"Then is this matter resolved now?" Gu Chengyu didn't ask about the fate of the principal, the officialdom is so cruel.

"Not yet, it's still on hold! At this juncture, the Eldest Prince will naturally not be able to leave the capital. He sent someone to the Hejian Mansion to thoroughly investigate the matter."
