Great Lawyer

Chapter 410
In the early morning of the second day, Wu Wenjun played the story of Mao Wenyuan's arrival in the capital.

Zhao Yu said: "How is your investigation of the case, and when will it go up for trial?"

"If you go back to the Holy One, the case has already been clarified, and the minister is going to go to court for trial tomorrow morning." Wu Wenjun said.

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Then let Xie Aiqing and..." He looked at Qian Shilang and Liao Shangshu and Liao Zheng of the Ministry of Punishment, thought for a while and said, "Let's go together with Liao Aiqing."

Wu Wenjun smiled heartily.

Liao Zheng is a man who prides himself on being the most fair and honest person, and he does not move around with anyone in the court, and his power has long been evaded by Qian Shilang.

But this time, Zhao Yu did not invite Qian Shilang to participate, but Liao Zheng. This shows that Zhao Yu's preference for this corruption case is Lu Zhangzhi and others.

Of course, it was already clear from the time Zhao Yu asked him to investigate the case.

The three of them clasped their fists together.

Xue retreated according to the way, Zhao Yu walked away in a flick of his sleeves, and everyone filed out according to their ranks.Qian Shilang quickly walked a few steps and shouted, "My lord."

"En." Lu Zhangzhi said: "Have you found any evidence against us?"

Qian Shilang nodded and said in a low voice: "Do you remember Bian Wenqing from the household department?"

Lu Zhangzhi was somewhat impressed.

"He and Qiu Zhang from Honglu Temple belong to the same family, and the two often come and go. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Bian Wenqing also gave a gift to the lower officials."

Lu Zhangzhi raised his eyebrows. Speaking of which, it seems that his family has also received it.

"The lower official accepted it, and he also handed over invitations several times, but the lower official has been busy, so he has never seen him." Qian Shilang said: "Wu Wenjun arrested him, and he was very close, and it was for this point. of."

Lu Zhangzhi nodded, and said: "The festival gift is also accepted, and it is useless to let it go now. What's more, you still have a relationship with Muge Lao. Once Qiu Wenli dies, it will be even more unclear."

They were originally planning to make a move, but now they have changed their minds. They will watch a scene first, and then make a decision after waiting for how the play will be performed.

"The lower officials think that An Guogong might not take action at this time." Qian Shilang looked back, "After all, it is a sensitive moment. Even if he wants to avenge the Chengde Marquis, he may choose other ways."

Lu Zhangzhi nodded, "It's also possible that he will never take revenge. After all, Lord An cherishes his feathers and cares about his reputation. He will definitely not bite Wu Wenjun and end up with a feather in his mouth."

"Then now we can only wait for the trial of the third division hall tomorrow." Qian Shilang said.

The two walked away.

On the second day of the joint trial between the three divisions, Tian Mao confessed to the fact of corruption, and confessed to Qiu Wenli and Jin Rong together with Huang Jue, and there were letters between the two parties.

A few days ago, Wu Wenjun ordered Jin Rong's mansion to be searched, and 11 taels of silver were found in his house, as well as an account book of dealings with another person.

Bian Wenqing said he didn't know, he had never touched money from the beginning to the end, and insisted that it was Jin Rong who set him up.

Apart from this, nothing was found in the home of Qiu Wenli, who had hanged himself in prison, but his followers often followed him, saying that Qiu Wenli and Qian Shilang from the Ministry of Punishment often came and went, especially four years ago, Qiu Wenli gave Qian Shilang a Calligraphy and paintings of famous artists worth 6 taels from the previous dynasty.

But other than that, there is no evidence to prove that Qian Shilang is directly related to Shaoyang's corruption cases twice in four years.

Wu Wenjun will investigate after he is charged.

At present, the main criminals including Jin Rong, Tian Mao and Huang Jue, as well as the fact that Bian Wenqing accepted bribes are determined.

However, there is insufficient evidence to identify Mao Wenyuan as corrupt, pending investigation and trial.

After leaving the Yamen, the presiding judge of the third division went to the palace and handed over the dossier to Zhao Yu.

After Zhao Yu read it, he dropped the file and said, "Don't keep one of these people. After the rest of the people have checked it out, they will be beheaded together!"

"The rest, check again later!" Zhao Yu said.

……

Du Jiuyan sent ten people back to Shaoyang with a banquet.

Ten people carried plaques inscribed by Zhao Yu himself.The chariots and horses stopped at the gate of Prince Gui's Mansion, and ten people looked at Du Jiuyan reluctantly.

"Let's go, I'll be leaving in a few days." Du Jiuyan said, "I'll go to the southwest to see you when I go back."

The queen mother did not move, she waited for a few more days.

Banyan channel: "Sir, then... you should go back early."

They didn't expect that Du Jiuyan would become the president. After Du Jiuyan came back from the court, they were sad once, and they have been listless for the past few days.

"Got it, got it." Du Jiuyan waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, we can still reach the station before dark, otherwise we will have to sleep in the wild at night."

Banquet should be handed over.

"Sir, take care." Fu Yuanwu said, "We are waiting for you in the southwest."

Du Jiuyan nodded, "You all work hard, and I look forward to seeing you in court when I return to the southwest."

"We dare not," Xu Ziyu said with a red face, "Arguing with you, we will definitely lose until our parents don't even know each other."

Du Jiuyan nodded, "Now that you know it, you must work harder to learn more about actual combat."

Everyone laughed, Du Jiuyan drove them, and the ten people reluctantly got into the car. Du Jiuyan stood on the pretext to watch them off, and did not go back until the chariot and horses were out of sight.

"It's much cleaner all of a sudden, you students are too noisy." Gui Wang said with disgust.

Du Jiuyan gave him a blank look, "When did they quarrel with you, you are the one who talks the most."

"You are good to others, but you are not good to me." King Gui said dissatisfied.

Du Jiuyan didn't want to talk about it with him, "Whether there's anything going on later, let's go to Cai Zhuoru's shop to see together."

"Where's the cripple?" King Gui asked.

"I don't know. He has been busy since he returned to the capital, and he didn't tell me. I don't know what he's busy with." Du Jiuyan said.

King Gui thought for a while, hooked her shoulders, and said in a low voice as he went back: "I can't find out his details, you have to talk about him, and find out where he came from."

Du Jiuyan glanced sideways at him.

"I'm curious," King Gui said, "Aren't you curious?"

Du Jiuyan nodded, "I'm really curious, but we have to respect other people's privacy, he has the right not to tell us."

King Gui had a contemptuous expression, "You are just avoiding, you don't want to know too much, and you are afraid of taking responsibility passively."

Du Jiuyan coughed twice guiltyly, and said: "Everyone has a secret, and he will definitely tell it if he wants to." Then he said: "I didn't even ask your secret, I am an honest and respectful good friend .”

King Gui didn't want to pay attention to her, and strode ahead into the side door.

"Nine words!" Qiu Zhang shouted from behind: "It's urgent, I need to talk to you immediately."

As soon as Du Jiuyan turned around, he saw Qiu Zhang wearing a patched robe, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he looked at the young man following him, raised his eyebrows and said, "My lord, what's the matter?"

She led the two of them to the flower hall, the waiter served tea, King Gui was in charge, and everyone sat down one by one.

"This is Bian Hang, the eldest son of Lord Bian Wenqing." Qiu Zhang introduced to King Gui and Du Jiuyan, "After the interrogation of the three divisions this morning, Wu Wenjun showed the file to the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord said that Lord Bian will be chopped off after the case is closed. .”

"This can be regarded as a finalized case." Qiu Zhang said: "It would be fine if he was greedy, but he didn't. How wronged he died, right?"

As Qiu Zhang said, he gave Bian Hang a wink.

Bian Hang was probably in his early forties, not tall and of ordinary appearance, wearing a navy blue robe, and sat listening with a sad face.As soon as he met Qiu Zhang's wink, he immediately understood, knelt down neatly, kowtowed and said, "I beg the lord and Mr. Du to save my father's life."

"My father was murdered by an adulterer. Not only was he not corrupt, but he also had evidence of real corruption in his hands."

Bian Wenqing was in charge of Huguang Dao's household registration and other matters in the household department. That is to say, all the money allocated by the imperial court to Huguang Dao was approved from him.

As Bian Hang said, he hesitated and looked at Qiu Zhang.Qiu Zhang said: "Take it out, you child is a master of wood, you don't know how to shout when you chop an axe."

Bian Hang, who was 40 years old, blushed at what Qiu Zhang said, and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Du Jiuyan.

"This handwritten letter was written by Mr. Wu to my father four years ago, asking him to distribute the 60 taels of silver allocated to Shaoyang by the household department in four batches."

Du Jiuyan was not very familiar with the operation of the court's various yamen, so after reading it, she didn't understand how this became evidence.

There is nothing wrong with the content in the manuscript.

"That's right," Qiu Zhang and Du Jiuyan explained, "Wu Wenjun was promoted from this position. He has been in the Department of Huguangdao Qingli for three years. His purpose of writing this letter is to guide Bian Wenqing How to do it."

"But he is no longer in the household department, and this surgery is done on his behalf, and his intentions are not right." Qiu Zhang explained.

Du Jiuyan almost rolled her eyes, she coughed, and said: "This is going to be in the imperial court, it's okay to hand it over to Yu Shi to catch the wind and catch the shadows for impeachment, but if it is brought to the court, it will be of no value at all."

Bian Hang was stunned, "Can't you?"

"No!" Du Jiuyan said: "Your father's case is already very complicated. How many people will be involved is just the beginning. If we want to save him, we must simplify the complicated matter. "

Bian Hang was puzzled.

Qiu Zhang asked, "How to simplify?"

"My lord, the Honglu Temple not only satisfies your vanity, but also wastes your experience." Du Jiuyan said.

Qiu Zhang bluffed, "This old man is trying to save face for you. You are now a world-renowned litigator. If this old man says everything, what are you going to do?"

"Thank you, my lord." Du Jiuyan spurned, and continued: "The so-called simplification is to prove your father's innocence. As for other things, it has nothing to do with your father."

Bian Hang suddenly realized, nodded and said: "Yes, sir, what should we do now?"

"Get up and talk first," King Gui said.

Bian Hang sat down again.

Du Jiuyan looked at King Gui, "My lord, what do you think?"
