Chapter 124 She Was Impeached by Shi Yushi

Notices are similar to modern newspapers, but they are just the prototype of newspapers.Moreover, only policies, decrees and major events are published on the notice.

For example, in the notice in front of you, it is first recorded that the emperor asked Dali Sicheng, the doctor of the Ministry of punishment, and Zhixitui to form three divisions to go to Luyang County to try the murder of Zhou Zhongcai and the embezzlement case by Wang Da and others.Later, it was recorded that under the impeachment of Luyang County by Zhiban Shi Yushi every day, not only all counties and counties began to check the accounts of their own government and the private morality of their subordinates, but also all provinces and ministries in the capital.

In addition, there are also two records of Zhibo Shi Yushi individually criticizing her for having no female virtue, trampling on the ethics of the court, participating in the court affairs indiscriminately, and being of a humble background. Arrest her and return to Beijing to strictly investigate and interrogate the information.

Finally, a couple of innocuous pieces of information from other counties.

Chen Chaoyan carefully read the information criticizing her twice, then put the notice aside, and asked about the Qu family's old case again.

Xie Xuan clasped his hands and tapped on the chair, gloating and jokingly said, "How does it feel to be impeached by the imperial censor before the concubine enters the capital?"

Chen Chaoyan looked at him, and smiled: "Before going to Beijing, send more people to the Ministry of Criminal Justice or the prison of Dali Temple, so as not to have dead bodies to steal from the mausoleum."

Xie Xuan laughed lowly, there was a faint light flowing in his eyes.This time, without waiting for her to ask, she took the initiative to talk about the old case of the Qu family, "The case of the Qu family is a bit complicated. It has been 20 years since Qu Wensheng committed the crime. In the past 20 years, the results of several re-examinations are also consistent. This time, he settled in Qu Zhai because the Qu family and Qi Wu still have some relationship, so they used this case as an excuse to investigate his whereabouts."

After finishing speaking, he signaled Wen Mo to bring the case to her.

The case happened 21 years ago.

On April 21th, [-] years ago, Qu Wensheng and a few friends he made in Dongyin County finished drinking at Liuxianju. It was already dark. After saying goodbye to a few friends, he sat alone in a carriage and quietly Went to the home of Widow Zhou on Huainan Street.After trying to do good things with Widow Zhou but being rejected, she killed Widow Zhou in anger and embarrassment.

Widow Zhou's uncle came back from the ground and recognized the carriage parked in a dark corner of the yard. Feeling bad, he rushed into the house and found Qu Wensheng riding on Widow Zhou's body and committing murder, and then rushed to the county government to file a complaint.

After on-site investigation, Widow Zhou was stabbed eleven times, all in the chest and abdomen.

The evidence includes Qu Wensheng's blood all over his body and the dagger he was holding.

There are also widow Zhou's obscene clothes, obscene trousers and aprons that disappeared in recent months from Qu Wensheng's study, which was testified by the servants who cleaned Qu Wensheng's study.

There were four witnesses, one was the coachman who drove him to Widow Zhou's house, and the coachman was a servant of the Qu family.He testified that Qu Wensheng ordered him to drive to the home of Widow Zhou; the three were friends who had wine with him that night.Friends unanimously admitted that Qu Wensheng often mentioned Widow Zhou to them, and his words were often coveted.At the banquet that day, there was a lot of desire to steal the fragrance when talking inside and outside.

There were witnesses and physical evidence, and what was arrested was at the scene, and the rape failed and the murder was committed, so the case was quickly solved. After Qu Wensheng was beheaded by the law, he was escorted to Luyang County.In Luyang County, the old man Qu, who finally came to his senses, asked for a new trial, but the result of the trial was the same as that in Dongyin County.Qu Wensheng was escorted to the capital, and the case was handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The law of the Great Wei stipulates that rape shall be punished by two years in prison.Intentional murder shall be punished by beheading.

The two crimes were punished together. Even if the old man Qu was a sixth-rank member of the Ministry of Industry, the most he could do was to remove the official to save his life and change the sentence from beheading to exile for three thousand miles.

Naturally, this was not the result Old Master Qu wanted.

Fortunately, the case was handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and there was still room for maneuver.As long as Qu Wensheng accused him of being framed, there is still room for finding out the truth.Mrs. Qu has been an official in Beijing for dozens of years, and he always has some contacts. After writing a few letters quickly and asking someone to take care of him, he is also preparing to leave for Beijing.It's just that before the trip, he was already sick, and in his anxiety and anger, his condition suddenly worsened and he became bedridden.

It is impossible to go to the capital, but the people have to be saved.

Old Master Qu persisted, and sent several letters to the capital, to the effect that he asked someone to deal with it, and asked the Ministry of Criminal Justice to dismiss the case to Luyang County and let Luyang County retry.In addition, Mrs. Qu ordered his grandson, Qu Qiyuan, the son of Qu Wensheng, to take a job as a military officer in Luyang County to make amends.

Prior to this, Qu Qiyuan had been hesitating whether to take a second job in Luyang County, or to continue his studies and then take the imperial examination.

It was only less than a month after Qu Qiyuan was promised to go to Luyang County, and before the appointment documents from the Ministry of Officials were issued to Luyang County, he committed suicide in the canyon five miles away from Changze Mountain.

More than a month after committing suicide, the body was discovered by passing hunters.When found, the body was decomposed, and almost only the skeleton remained.After on-site inspection, Wu Zuo confirmed that he committed suicide with the evidence of the last written letter.

And on the third day after his body was brought back, news came that the Ministry of Criminal Justice had dismissed Qu Wensheng's case and ordered Luyang County to retry it.

However, after being hit twice in just a few months, Mrs. Qu couldn't hold on anymore.Less than a month after Qu Wensheng was escorted back to Luyang County, he went there.Less than a month later, Mrs. Qu followed suit.

The prosperous Qu family in Yintian is like a lonely boat drifting in an instant, and it can be overturned by the slightest storm.

And this storm didn't make them wait too long.

Three months after Mrs. Qu's death, the Luyang County Government once again concluded that Qu Wensheng's rape failed, and he murdered in anger!

The Qu family just walked and scattered like this, decaying at the speed of Wu Feitu.

In the end, only Qu Qiyuan's wife Xiao Qu stayed here with her son Qu An, who was only 13 years old at the time, and insisted on running around to reverse the case for father-in-law Qu Wensheng and minister-in-law Qu Qiyuan.

However, to this day, what was the verdict at the time of the incident is still the same.

Chen Chaoyan carefully read the case file twice before putting it down.After drinking two sips of tea and calming down, she looked up at Xie Xuan, "My lord just said that Qi Wu and the Qu family have some kind of relationship. I don't know what kind of relationship it is?"

Xie Xuan glanced at the case in hand, "Qi Wu and Qu Qiyuan are good friends. In the second year after the Qu family returned to Dongyin County, Qu Wensheng was in danger when he and his friends went hunting in Yinnan Town, Changze Mountain. Rescued by Qi Wu. Qu Qiyuan was ordered to go to Qi Wu's home to thank him. After learning that he was studying in the county school, he gradually became friends. After becoming friends, Qu Qiyuan not only took him to live with him in Quzhai, but also let him He stayed in the Qu residence, and listened to the lectures given by Wu Yong, a Confucian scholar invited by old master Qu with a lot of money."

"What does Qi Wu's family do?" Chen Chaoyan asked.

"Qi Wu's great-grandfather is an old man from Jiangpu Township." Xie Xuanwo stepped into the wicker chair with a lazy tone.

"Qu Wensheng was in danger, was it an accident or was he calculated?" Chen Chaoyan asked again.

Xie Xuan looked at her: "For Qu Qiyuan to come to Qi Wu's house to thank her, whether it was tricked or not, in the eyes of the Qu family, it must be an accident."

Right.

After Chen Chaoyan nodded, she calmly looked at the basic information about Qi Wu on the light screen.

She has not met Qi Wu yet, so there is no image of him displayed on the basic information page.However, through the confessions of Wang Da and others and the employment information kept by the Sheriff's Office, his life has been recorded in great detail.

Qi Wu was born in the year of Xinchou. He failed the provincial examination in the year of Renshen; he became a candidate in the provincial examination in the year of Yihai;Then in the year of Wuyin, he entered Luyang County and became a recorder to join the army.When he entered Luyang County, he was 38 years old.

After a quick glance, Chen Chaoyan fixed her eyes on the words 'Bingzi's annual examination, failed', and asked Xie Xuandao: "Qu Qiyuan got the 190th place in the top three, which year did he take the exam?"

Xie Xuan watched her look forward, and said casually, "Bing Zi Nian."

Chen Chaoyan looked at him, "A test with Qi Wu?"

Xie Xuan nodded, "This is the second time for him to take the exam. The first time he failed the exam because he ate badly before the exam. When he failed the exam, Qi Wu went to the capital with him as his companion."

"Interesting." Chen Chaoyan twitched the corner of his mouth, and after a quick glance at Qi Wu's basic information, he asked again, "How did Qi Wu get into Luyang County?"

Xie Xuan looked at the light spots in her eyes, "Although the old man Qu resigned from office to support himself, he has not cut off contact with the capital. After learning about the vacancy of the Luyang County recorder and military officer from the original colleague's letter, the first thing that came to mind It is to ask Qu Wensheng to go to the post. But Qu Wensheng has never been used to those flattering attitudes in the officialdom, and it is such a small job vacancy, so naturally he doesn't like it. The old man Qu couldn't force him, so he had to turn around Let Qu Qiyuan go. Qu Qiyuan doesn't want to go either, he wants to continue studying and take the imperial examination."

"But the Qu family started from old Mrs. Qu. If something happened to him, the Qu family would be unsustainable. Using this excuse, although Qu Qiyuan reluctantly agreed to the job, but there must be a lot of resentment in his heart. Yes, I'm going to find a friend like Qi Wu to vent out."

"Qi Wu's grandpa is just an old man, and his contacts are limited to Dongyin County, so naturally he can't get these official news. After I heard from Qu Qiyuan that there was a vacancy in Luyang County to serve as a military officer, I went to Lu immediately. Yangjun inquired about the facts and tried everything possible to get acquainted with Zheng Youwei, the governor of the county at that time."

"After Qu Qiyuan committed suicide and the post of secretary and military officer was vacated again, with Zheng Youwei's active efforts, he justifiably took up this post."

These secrets are not recorded on the light screen.

Chen Chaoyan couldn't help being curious: "Why does Zheng Youwei run for him?"

Xie Xuanyan laughed at Yan Yan and said, "Because he saved Mrs. Zheng who went to Guanyin Temple to pray for blessings but encountered bandits on the way back."

Chen Chaoyan clicked his tongue: "He always saves people in need just right, he really knows how to save people."

Xie Xuan glanced at her with a smile: "It's not true. After 20 years, there is no way to investigate."

Really no way to check.Chen Chaoyan looked at the case file, digested the information he got, and sorted it out, then asked him, "I heard from Miss He that it is all thanks to Mrs. Qu that Taiyin County is today?"

Xie Xuan nodded, "That's right."

"Old Master Qu was able to build such a large house in Taiyin County, and he was able to be notified by his former colleagues in time of the vacancy of the Luyang County Recorder to join the military. He also made such a great contribution to Taiyin County, and after Qu Wensheng's accident , and with the help of contacts in Beijing, it can be seen that dealing with people is not only thoughtful and appropriate, but also has a great overall view. The Qu family is supported by such a person, and logically speaking, the family tradition cannot be broken." Chen Chaoyan said slowly, " As a matter of fact, regardless of the case, both Qu Wensheng and Qu Qiyuan were well educated by him."

"How could he commit a crime if he was well-bred?" Xie Xuan asked.
