Domineering Daming

Li Jieyu was used to it, and said, "Yes, do you want to prepare something?"

Zhu Xu was not used to this kind of human interaction, so after thinking about it, he said: "There is no need for Zhang Guogong's side, you can look at Yong'an's side, and give me something. I am not close to any of my sisters, especially Yong'an."

Li Jieyu knew that Princess Yong'an's biological mother was more sensitive, so he responded lightly and said, "Yes, my concubine will make arrangements."

Zhu Xu nodded, and Er said again: "Choose a few people from your palace and send them to Jiangnan."

Li Jieyu naturally knew that there was a sister of Hai Lanzhu in the south, so he said without asking, "Yes."

After saying this, Zhu Xu looked at the hazy sky outside and said, "Sleep a little longer."

While Zhu Xu was speaking, not far from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, a young man pulled a flat cart covered with a white cloth, and came to the stairs of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

He put down the car, came to the big drum next to the criminal department, picked up the drumsticks, and beat them hard.

Boom boom boom!

A dull voice sounded in front of the criminal department, and then passed through the gate of the criminal department.

After a while, the gate opened, and two sleepy-eyed servants walked over while arranging their clothes, and said angrily, "Didn't you see that it's not yet dawn, and the door hasn't been opened yet? Is there anything you can't wait until the door opens?"

"Master Qingtian, please be the master of Xiaomin!"

The young man fell to his knees with a plop, tears streaming down his face, and shouted.

The two guards were taken aback for a moment, and they stepped forward and said, "Get up, I have something to say, what case do you want to report..."

The young man knelt there and shouted loudly: "The villain sued Dingguo's mansion for murder, and the officials of the Governor's Council protected me, causing my fiancée to die tragically. It's hard to be wronged, and I can't die with peace!"

Hearing the words "Duke Dingguo's Mansion", the expressions of the two officers changed slightly. They both squatted down, looked at the young man and said solemnly: "Are you serious? Is there any evidence? Suing a duke of the state is possible." It's no small matter."

The young man wiped away his tears and said, "Yes! When my fiancée was pushed downstairs, he tore off a corner of the murderer's clothes. That was unique to the Dingguo Mansion. In Qunfang Building, many people saw it with their own eyes. The villains have their confessions.”

The two guards looked at each other and said, "Are you serious? It doesn't matter if you fool us. If we invite you out, you can't produce any evidence. Don't you just hit a few boards? If the Dingguo government doesn't give up, It is possible for you to be sentenced for several years..."

The young man looked determined, gritted his teeth and said, "The villain brought the corpse here today, even if he dies, he will give Liu Qing revenge!"

The two guards looked at the young man, and then at each other, knowing that this matter might not be fake, one of them stood up and said: "You wait here, I will invite our adults."

"Yes!" Although the young man was uneasy, he still gritted his teeth.

Not long after, Liao Changyong came out in a hurry, glanced at the young man, then at the flat car, and said solemnly: "Come in, close the door, and open at half an hour tonight."

"Yes."

A group of guards led the young people, carried a flat cart, and entered the Criminal Department, and the door that was just opened by the Criminal Department closed again.

Not to mention that the sky is not bright yet, there are many such things in the Criminal Department every day, so even if someone sees it, no one cares.

The calm in front of the criminal department was as usual, without causing any fluctuations.

Liao Changyong has been in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for many years and has rich experience in handling cases. After asking a few questions and looking at the evidence, he knew that the case was probably true.

He looked coldly, looked at the young man, and said, "You mean, a young man from Cheng Guo's family was also present, and it was caused by their fight?"

"That's right!" The young man said with resentment on his face, "One is Zhu Yingyou and the other is Xu Huazhi. They all covet Liu Qing and refuse to let her out. They must have deliberately pushed her downstairs to kill her!"

Liao Changyong ignored the young man's emotions. He murmured, summoned the prison officer, and said in a low voice: "Go, take those bustards and turtles from Fanglou quietly. Remember, don't make a fuss, and check again." Find out who inspected the area in the Governor's Council that day, and quietly transferred the inspection records."

"Yes." The people from the arrest department responded and left quickly.

Liao Changyong stood there, looking at the young man in his early twenties kneeling on the ground, thinking that this case involved two princes, he felt a headache.He also knew that Cheng Guogong and Ding Guogong were the two most supportive of the emperor and the "New Deal" among the ministers. If the two were involved in the case, the case would definitely go straight to heaven.

"A big case..." Liao Changyong said to himself.

Such cases have exceeded the scope of investigation by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and require authorization from the cabinet.Thinking about the fact that someone in the Governor's Council might cover up and deliberately suppress this matter, maybe they will drag Prince Jing into it.

"It's a big trouble..." Liao Changyong murmured to himself, and a man was summoned to whisper: "Go and ask your lord to come to the yamen immediately."

The document said: "Master Shangshu just left the palace an hour ago, sir, should you wait?"

"I can't wait any longer. You should notify me immediately. Even if you break in, let me break in. Also, this matter is strictly confidential and you are not allowed to leave the Yamen!" Liao Changyong said solemnly again.

"Yes!" The clerk agreed, and quietly left through the back door.

Chapter 936 Intricate

Zhang Wenda had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by the clerk from the Ministry of Punishment. Enduring a headache, he immediately threw away the unlined garment on his back after listening to the clerk.

At the same time, he said anxiously: "It's right to block the news, don't disturb other people, and find out what happened first."

The clerk nodded, and said: "Yes, Lord Liao also meant the same thing. He has blocked the news and waited for the Lord to go to the Yamen to make decisions."

Zhang Wenda quickly put on his clothes and said, "Let's go."

Zhang Wenda got into the carriage and hurried to the Ministry of Punishment.

He has seen more about this matter than Liao Changyong.The two government houses, the Governor's Council, and Prince Jing may also be involved. If the Ministry of Criminal Affairs does not handle this case well, the cabinet may not be able to suppress it. Once the lawsuit reaches the imperial court, everything will get out of control.

Zhang Wenda knew the emperor in Qianqing Palace very well. He was the most sensitive, and if he caught anything, he could use it as a tool to put pressure on the cabinet. At that time, what he would do, the cabinet would not be able to talk back.

When Zhang Wenda went out, Liao Changyong also received reports one after another.

"My lord, indeed many people saw it. It was quite a big scene at the time. It was Zhu Yingyou, the sixth son of Duke Cheng, and Xu Huazhi, the youngest son of Duke Ding. They fought because of that prostitute Liu Qing. Xu Huazhi pushed Liu Qing downstairs with his own hands. , died on the spot."

"A steward from Dingguo's mansion came forward to seal up Qunfang Tower, and we have already quietly watched the old bustard and the turtles."

"We didn't dare to go in to the Governor's Court, because we were afraid to scare the snake away, but we found out from other places that at that time, he was in charge of inspecting the area of ​​Qunfang Building, and the person who accepted the report was Liang Chengyong, the deputy head of the Inspection Department of the Governor's Court."

"Liang Chengyong's wife and a concubine of Duke Dingguo's mansion are sisters Jin Lan, who may have suppressed them on purpose."

"However, it has only been half a day, and there is no movement from the Governor's Council, which does not mean that Liang Chengyong suppressed the case. If we act rashly, it may be true."

Liao Changyong listened to several reports, sat at the case table, nodded and said: "That's right. Although the witnesses and material evidences have been conclusive, our Ministry of Punishment can't mess around. If the Governor's Council reacts, it says that it has secretly investigated and is leaving. There is nothing we can do about the internal procedures. After all, Prince Jing is a cabinet minister, and if he catches him, the Ministry of Punishment will not be able to please him!"

"My lord, what do you think?"

"Liu Qing's body is still placed here with us, and her fiancé Shen Bingwu keeps making noises, so it may not be possible to hide it for long..."

"Our Ministry of Punishment is at a disadvantage against the Governor's Council. A bad lawsuit can reach the cabinet or even the imperial court. We need to be cautious."

"The lower official suggested that the case should be resolved quickly, and the case should be submitted directly to Dali Temple, so that the Governor's Council can't intervene!"

"Although this murder case is under the jurisdiction of our Ministry of Criminal Justice, it is caused by customs. It makes sense for the Governor's Council to insist on intervening. The problem is that two government governments are also involved."

Liao Changyong listened to what his subordinates said to each other, his brows were furrowed, and his expression was troubled.

This matter is indeed complicated enough, involving many people, not ordinary people, so we need to be careful and careful.
