Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 249 Appreciation Banquet

The case has basically been finalized here.

The Secretary of the Criminal Ministry directly asked the county magistrate kneeling below: "County magistrate, do you have anything else to say? Now that the evidence is solid, do you plead guilty to killing the county magistrate?!"

The county lieutenant, who was startled by the gavel of the Ministry of Justice, knew that he had no room to escape now.

No one would believe it if he didn't admit it now, let alone the county magistrate he killed.

The county lieutenant bowed his head and pleaded guilty: "I killed the county magistrate."

The minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice signaled to the master, who angrily and complicatedly took the confession statement and asked the county lieutenant to sign it as a pledge. At this point, the case of killing the county magistrate was finally closed.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments directly carried out the conviction according to the laws of the Dawu Kingdom.

However, Liu Qing's official department hadn't done anything yet, and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment just gave him a warning look and announced the closure of the case.

The county magistrate was restored to his original position and continued his previous job as acting county magistrate. As for whether he could be promoted to county magistrate or whether the county magistrate should be transferred from other places, this was not Chen Yi's concern.

He's already wasted so many days here, and he needs to solve the other two tasks for the rest.

However, he has only completed half of this task so far.

The other half is to ask him to find the Heaven's Punishment Hero to complete, Chen Yi is a little melancholy.

The second prince of the Liao Kingdom is still waiting for him, and there is also the matter of the Xuanluo Kingdom. Now the Xuanluo Kingdom has been testing.

So General Zhao and General Zhang don't have any big problems now.

As long as there is enough food and supplies, there will be no problem. Chen Yi has already transported part of the armor and weapons, enough for General Zhang and the others to replace them.

The rest were reserved for spares. Chen Yi didn't dare to hand them all over to Tang Si and the others, because he was worried that someone who cared about them would find out and bring about a murderous disaster.

Chen Yi planned to set off for the border tomorrow, and as for the matter of God's Punishment, he could only follow fate.

Anyway, there is no time limit for the task, and this case is estimated to attract attention.

Those who pretend to be heroes of Heaven's Punishment to commit crimes will probably think about it.

As for the real Heaven's Punishment Hero, Chen Yi didn't worry any more, didn't he kill all corrupt officials?
What can stop this? As for whether there is anyone available, don't worry about it. Haven't you seen so many people who want to be promoted?They all started killing people.

These matters also need the empress to be busy, and the ministers of the court should also take care of their business.

The provinces go to the court every day, staring at some trivial matters, blaming each other.

Fighting with elementary school students is very boring.

In the evening, the county magistrate hosted a banquet to thank Chen Yi and the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice for helping him solve the crisis. In fact, the most important thing is to thank Chen Yi.

The evidence was collected by Chen Yi with him, and the Minister of Criminal Justice was also found by Chen Yi. Now the county magistrate is very grateful that he came to Chen Yi for help at that time. How wise it was.

In fact, he was very apprehensive when he came to Chen Yi, but there was really no other way.

He had no choice but to give it a try. He had heard many things about Chen Yi before, and the rumors at that time were just rumors, some were true and some were false.

The county magistrate did not expect Chen Shilang to be so powerful, not because he was able to find the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, but because Chen Yi was able to find clues calmly in such a short period of time under such unfavorable circumstances.

Not letting go of any opportunity, the county magistrate was convinced, and now it can be said that he is full of admiration.

Chen Yi did not reject the county magistrate's kindness, not to mention that the minister of the Ministry of punishment was so kind enough to come to help him in person.

The three chatted happily, but none of them drank uncontrollably. Tomorrow, Chen Yi and Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice will leave together. One will go west, and the other will visit the imperial capital.

"Chen Shilang, Brother Chen, you don't need me at all, let me take advantage of it for nothing, come, I will toast you."

Chen Yi smiled and drank the wine in the glass, and said modestly: "Your Excellency is joking, I had nothing at the time, it was mainly because you gave me confidence, and I found so many strong evidences later."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice did not talk about this, but sighed: "Tell me, why is this case so difficult? Will the Heavenly Punisher be able to fly through the clouds and fog? Change places in a few days, just like a loach, slippery. "

"My lord, I think we can screen out which ones were done by the Heaven's Punishment heroes and which ones were blamed."

The Minister of Punishment immediately became interested, and the county magistrate was also attracted. The two of them looked at Chen Yi with dazzling eyes, making him dumbfounded and silent in embarrassment.

"My lord can mark the places where all the cases happened on the map when I go back. This person has a habit of doing things. He usually likes safe places. Where is the safe place? Naturally, it is a familiar place."

"So I think the Heavenly Punishment Hero will not go too far this time. After all, he doesn't know whether the officials who are too far away are really corrupt or fake, and where the stolen property at home is!"

The county magistrate nodded: "Yes, I heard from the common people that after punishing heroes to kill people this day, they will put their belongings on the streets of the poor and let the common people get them by themselves."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice asked in surprise: "There is such a thing? Strange, there is no such clue in the case file submitted!"

Chen Yi smiled: "I guess the local officials left it behind, it's a lot of money."

Shangshu Xingbu was a little annoyed and patted the table.

"This is too abominable, it's almost life-threatening, so what should I do? I hope Chen Shilang will enlighten me."

Chen Yi said goodbye: "Your Excellency is too polite, and there is a need to determine the scope of the bill of Heaven's Punishment Heroes. Those outside the scope can be sure to be counterfeit, so let's deal with these counterfeiters first. There must be something hidden. They are probably separate cases."

After hearing this, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice nodded and said with some hesitation.

"But Your Majesty asked me to help you with the Heaven's Punishment Hero case, why don't you solve the Heaven's Punishment Hero first?"

Chen Yi laughed twice.

"Although the heaven punished heroes to kill courtiers and order officials indiscriminately today, there is no law. At that time, he should have killed corrupt officials. We don't agree with this kind of behavior, but this method can also threaten those corrupt officials and make them restrain themselves. .”

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice nodded and agreed with Chen Yi's statement.

"It was reported to the deceased. I read it. Although they are said to be victims, their crimes are enough to sentence them to death! I know what to do. Thank you Chen Shilang for your guidance."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice got up and saluted Chen Yi, and Chen Yi immediately avoided it.

"I can't do it, I can't do it. I think your lord is much better than me in handling cases. It's just that this case involves officials and has a wide area. Your lord is a fan of the authorities. I'm nothing, just helping you. Just organize your thoughts."

After hearing this, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice burst out laughing.
