Xiangye

Chapter 153 Please take a look at Master Yuan
Xu Yu finally appeared, and Gao Wen's heart that was hanging in the air finally fell to the ground.With him here, this sinister situation can finally be completely reversed.

It's just that this old man Xu just returned to Xi'an today, and he doesn't know what he's been busy with for the past few days, which made me, Gao Wen, so embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Gao Wen became angry, and he didn't bother to go forward to salute, and stepped aside.

Xu Yu's official position is not big, he is only an editor of the Imperial Academy.Speaking of rank, it is the seventh grade.

However, as soon as they saw him, not only Yu Yi, but also Luo Xuezheng and Yuan Xinyun hurried forward to pay respects: "I have met the imperial envoy Yuan Yugong."

That's right, although Mr. Xu is only a seventh-rank official, he has a distinguished status.First of all, according to the election system of the Ming Dynasty, the number one scholar in the palace examination was awarded the Imperial Academy, and the compilation was from the sixth rank;Lao Xu was born second in the list, and entered the Imperial Academy, he can be described as a model for scholars in the world.If there is no Civil Fort Change, the Supreme Emperor will be captured.As the emperor's national policy advisor and personal secretary, he has more than ten years of experience, and if he is released, he is at least a minister of the Six Departments who holds a lot of power. Maybe he can even join the cabinet as a minister.

In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, when officials met, regardless of their rank, they first had to talk about their origins, Jinshi and rank, and taking the second place in the Hanlin as the editor, it can be said that it is already the highest achievement that a scholar can achieve. When you see him, you have to be short first.

This is the first, and the second is that Xu Yuxing supervised the censor to recruit soldiers in Shaanxi.What is the supervisory censor? It is a speech officer, who specializes in finding fault with officials at all levels. It is equivalent to the **** of later generations.

Third, he is an imperial envoy who has obtained the imperial decree, and has the right to make decisions on the spot in local affairs.

Xu Yu didn't talk nonsense, snorted, strode forward, sat down on Yuan Xinyun's chair before, and said lightly: "It's so lively here today, Jinyi Qianhu and Xuezhengguan fought in the courtroom, but Win or lose? Don't worry about me, just continue!"

Yu Yi and Luo Xuezheng also returned to their positions. Naturally, they couldn't do anything in front of Mr. Xu, they just looked at each other, the anger in their eyes seemed to burn the enemy into ashes.

After waiting for a while, Xu Yu said: "Don't do anything, it seems that everyone is tired. Then, let's get down to business! Tell me about Yuan Qian, what's wrong?"

Yuan Xinyun's seat was snatched by Xu Yu, so he had to bow his head and stand aside, as if he was his subordinate.Hearing the question, he hurriedly replied: "I am reporting to the imperial envoy. I am dealing with the case of Hancheng Dianshi Gao Wen who robbed the army and killed the civilian husband. This Gao Wen has committed a heinous crime. Pingliang Mansion Imperial Examination. Every case is an unforgivable felony. This official is about to get rid of this traitor's illegal reputation, and he will be sent to the criminal prison to be punished according to the laws of the country..."

"Is there any evidence?" Before Yuan Qian finished speaking, Xu Zhen interrupted him and asked.

Yuan Xinyun: "Master Xu, the case of Gao Wen colluding with bandits, killing civilian husbands, and robbing military assets, I have already investigated clearly, and there are Min Zhuang and the driver who escorted the cart that day to testify. Come here, and give the confessions of the relevant people Take it up and present it to Mr. Xu for review."

"Yes." Immediately, the book office sent over a large stack of confessions and put them on top of the big case.

These dossiers have been made by the Criminal Division and Huang Wei for a long time. Not only are there records of the case, but also the confessions of Min Zhuang and the coachman who fled back to Hancheng that day, and blood-red finger prints.

Everyone said in unison above that seeing Gao Wen and the bandits collude with each other, they suddenly exploded into trouble, and wrote in extremely detailed terms.

Seeing Xu Xuan slowly flipping through the confession with a calm face, Yuan Xinyun said: "There are witnesses in this case, there are physical evidence, and the evidence is as solid as a mountain, and cannot be denied."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Yu suddenly sneered and closed the file: "The evidence is as solid as a mountain, and this is called as a mountain of ironclad evidence? Yuan Xinyun, you are an old criminal in vain, and you are still so confused in doing things unexpectedly. This case is so important, how can you It all depends on what a few folks and coachmen say."

Seeing Xu Yu's bad attitude, and wanting to overthrow the whole case as soon as he came, Yuan Xinyun groaned in his heart, and then the evil fire flared up, and said: "Master Xu, if the confessions of one or two strong men may not be counted, But there were 16 eyewitnesses who fled back to Hancheng that day, could it be that they were all wrong, or they all had grudges against Gao Wen and wanted to frame him?"

Xu Yu is a person who is not very open-minded. He was also annoyed when he heard Yuan Xinyun call out "Master Xu", and snorted: "It's hard to say, these minzhuang and coachmen are all low-born villains. They can speak well." Are you doing it right? Is it possible that the official does not believe the words of Gao Wen, a scholar who reads sage books, but wants to listen to the words of these lowly subordinates, is that a joke?"

This made Yuan Xinyun unable to bear it, and his face turned red immediately.

Luo Xuezheng shouted: "Editor Xu, I don't agree with you. You can't believe what you said about subordinate servants. And don't forget that Gao Wen is a Hancheng official, not a subordinate official. What kind of a good person can a subordinate official be? It is not surprising that such evils are committed and such heinous crimes are committed."

"Luo Xuezheng, let's not reveal Gao Wen's identity. At least at this moment, he is a student in Pingliang Prefecture, Shaanxi. Hasn't he been dismissed by you?"

Luo Xuezheng: "This official has already ordered him to be dismissed as a scholar."

Xu Yu said indifferently: "According to the system of our dynasty, there are rules to expel a scholar's reputation. Before the case is concluded and Gao Wen is not convicted, what basis do you have for Luo Xuezheng?"

Luo Xuezheng shouted: "Gao Wen is a lowly servant. Pretending to be a good citizen to participate in the imperial examination is a capital offense. Since Mr. Xu wants to intervene in this case, please enforce the law impartially and bring down this thief."

Xu Xuan suddenly burst out laughing.

Luo Xuezheng was baffled by his laughter, and said angrily, "Master Xu, what are you laughing at?"

Xu Yu pointed at Gao Wen: "Tell me about it."

"Yes, Editor Xu." Gao Wen came forward calmly, took out a stack of documents that had been prepared from his arms and presented them, and said, "That's right, Gao Wen was indeed the canon history of Hancheng County before, belonging to the My family is low. But my ancestors were from Shangyuan, Nanjing. Later, because of his involvement in the case of Fang Xiaoru in the Yongle Nian, he was exiled to Zhuanglang County, Pingliang Prefecture, Shaanxi... Later, he went to Hancheng, Gao Wen... fortunately, he had the current son Rende In order to rehabilitate the plan...Gao Wen then changed back to his good nationality...and moved back to his original place to participate in the local scientific examination...Gao Wen's grandfather had [-] acres of land in Zhuanglang, according to the imperial court system, he could return to his hometown and settle down...This is the imperial court The three adults have to look over the returned registration change document."

After talking for a long time, he explained the whole story clearly.

"What, you have changed back to good status?" Now, not only Luo Xuezheng, but even Yuan Xinyun couldn't help but let out a low voice.The two hurriedly got together and quickly flipped through the documents and approvals.

They exchanged glances with each other, and the eyes were full of surprise and shock.They originally thought that Gao Wen was just a petty subordinate, and with their identities and status, trying to kill him would be like crushing an ant.But he didn't expect this person to be backed by the editorial ambassador of the Imperial Academy, and he was also a descendant of Fang Xiaoru's case.

Now, things get complicated.

"Okay, since there is no doubt about Gao Wen's household registration, then before he is finally convicted, he is a scholar with a reputation and cannot be tortured or detained." Seeing the two of them looking through endlessly, Xu Xuan was very dissatisfied. Nai, scolded: "Luo Xuezheng, as a school official in Shaanxi Province, once something happens, not only can't you make decisions about the seeds of study, but you will get rid of others' fame regardless of indiscriminately. I would like to ask, are you a school official or a school official?" What is your position on the person who raised the punishment department? If the Shaanxi scholars know about this, wouldn’t everyone’s hearts be chilled?”

The reprimand made Luo Xuezheng unable to bear it, and he was speechless.

No longer paying attention to Luo Xuezheng, Xu Yu looked at Yuan Xinyun again, and said: "Master Yuan, you said that you have a statement from the relevant person, so what is it? !"

"Yes!" Someone outside responded loudly.

Not long after, a group of Jinyiwei escorted about a dozen people into the lobby.

These ten or so people were all wounded and dejected. It was obvious that they did not know how many tortures they had received in the past few days.

After entering the lobby, several Jinyi guards bowed their hands towards Xu Yi and Yu Yi: "I have seen the imperial envoys, and I have seen thousands of households."

Gao Wen knew these ten or so witnesses. They were the servants of Meijiazhuang and Min Zhuang who accompanied him to escort the car to Pingliang Mansion. Straight to Xi'an!
I wondered where Xu Xuan disappeared these days. It turned out that he took Jin Yiwei to Hancheng to arrest witnesses and criminals.

Jin Yiwei is the emperor's pro-army, and like Dongchang, he is only responsible to the emperor, and no one else has the right to transfer.However, this year, Jinyiwei is in the darkest period, everyone tramples on them, even their commander Ma Shun was beaten to death by civil officials, and no one takes them seriously.

Moreover, Jinyiwei is a secret service agency whose main task is to detect, arrest, and interrogate non-officials.How big is the robbery of military supplies, and they have the right to intervene.In the future, when asked by the higher-ups, it is entirely possible to reply that it is to assist Xu Xuan in handling the case, and it is not a violation of the system established by the imperial court for Jin Yiwei.

"This is..." Yuan Xinyun was a little dazed when he saw the witness kneeling on the ground below.

Xu Yu said coldly: "Why, Mr. Yuan doesn't know these people? Come, come, come, the relevant people below, please report your name."

A prisoner kneeling on the ground cried out: "My lord, the villain is Han Cheng Minzhuang, who happened to escort the military supplies to Pingliang that day."

"If you go back to the old man, the villain is the driver of the carriage, the old man, please spare me!"

"The villain is Zhuang Ding of Meijiazhuang, the eldest master, and the younger one is also obeying orders. Spare me, spare me!"

……

The audience prisoners reported their families, including Zhuang Ding from Meijiazhuang. Yuan Xinyun felt something was wrong, and sweat oozed from his forehead.

"Master Yuan, you said that Gao Wen robbed the military funds. This matter is no small matter. I was ordered to come to Shaanxi to recruit soldiers to supervise the imperial history. It is my duty, Xu Yu, to use military affairs against Wala. Naturally, we have to investigate the scope. Hehe, this investigation really revealed the clues." Xu Xuan giggled, grinning grimly: "This case seems to be not as simple as it seems on the surface, and it also involves Very wide. Come here, present the confession of the criminal, and ask Mr. Yuan to have a look."
