Chapter 1579: Embarrassment
After the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi retreated, Jiang Liwei sorted out the case clues provided by the local area into a book and held them in his hand. The more he looked at them, the more he felt the bigger he felt.
No matter how you look at it, Chen Xi has no possibility of committing a crime.
Chen Xi basically does not live in the government office. There are soldiers of the three armies and the people in the city who can testify for this matter. However, Gao Ji said in the memorial that Chen Xi was the Gao Ning family who was forcibly occupied by the government office. This is obviously contrary to the facts.
As for the time when Gao Ning entered the military camp, it was too short. Even after Gao Ning entered, Chen Xi immediately began to invade Gao Ning. The whole process could not be completed in less than a quarter of an hour, and Gao Ning was even more unlikely to leave the camp in full clothes...
"A small local magistrate dares to frame the senior officials in the court. He is so tired of living! I don't know what Gao's surname is thinking, which makes me come in vain... How much money did I spend this time? If the matter cannot be done, the losses will be small. It is difficult to express the big news in my heart. How can I explain it to others when I go back?"
Jiang Liwei was very angry and spent a lot of money to handle the case and finally got the right to review the case. He thought he could take the opportunity to bring down Chen Xi, but the result was contrary to his wishes. Now all the evidence points directly to Chen Xi's innocence.
Just when Jiang Liwei felt extremely depressed, someone suddenly heard a message at the door: "Shopkeeper Jiang, someone outside asked for a meeting! He said he was from the government office!"
Jiang Liwei entered the city with the identity of a merchant. He thought that his whereabouts were secret, and no one knew his identity and origin. But now he understood that he might have leaked his hiding, so the government office took the initiative to come to him.
"knew!"
Jiang Liwei packed up the Case, stood up, walked to the door and opened the door, and left the yard. He walked through the corridor to the front yard gate, and saw someone coming over with a lantern. He was an old man in his fifties, wearing a scribe shirt, and under the dim light, he had a smile on his face.
The man came over and said, "This must be the Manager Jiang. This official is Gao Ji, the governor of Nanning. I wonder if you have time to go to the government office to talk?"
Jiang Liwei was very surprised when she heard the other party report her home... Why did Gao Ji, who was involved in the case, come to the door in person? What did she say without saying that must have come to get in touch with the back door, and immediately said: "I am just an ordinary businessman, what is the matter with the Gao Gongfu? I don't seem to have any business dealings with the Gao Gongfu!"
Gao Ji smiled and said, "It is my honor to meet Manager Jiang today. I will ask Manager Jiang to give you a gift... Someone will give Manager Jiang a little bit of his wishes..."
As he said that, Gao Ji asked someone to carry two boxes over. Although they couldn't see clearly, Jiang Li knew that he was here to give a gift when he saw this attitude.
Jiang Liwei thought to himself: "Now the Ministry of Justice, Censorate, and Dali Temple have arrived in Nanning Prefecture City. Even the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel have arrived. Gao Ji was frightened by the court's attention. He probably knew what the charge was for falsely accusing Shangguan. Now he is desperate and can only come to ask for help."
"Well, Marquis Jianchang asked me to take Gao Ning back. Now I'm just right to talk to Gao Ji about the conditions and ask him to hand over his daughter-in-law... As long as he can curry favor with Marquis Jianchang, his case can be resolved, and the boy named Chen will be defeated, and my mission will be completed smoothly!"
Thinking of this, Jiang Liwei finally felt a little relaxed and had a smile on her face. Since the other party came to give gifts, it was impossible for Jiang Liwei to accept it with her greedy nature, which just happened to make up for the losses from going out of Beijing.
Jiang Liwei said: "Master Gao, please!"
...
...
Gao Ji asked someone to carry Jiang Liwei to the back hall of the government office.
Walking into the elegant flower hall, Gao Jiping stepped down and said straight to the point: "Jiang Zhenfu, we are not secretly talking. How many days have you been to Nanning Mansion? You should have a judgment on the case of Chen Xi's child. I wonder how to report to the court after you go back?"
Jiang Liwei sat down and seemed very leisurely: "Since the Gao Zhifu already knows his identity, he should be clear about my purpose... I am going to investigate the truth of the matter. As for the truth, the Gao Zhifu should know it clearly, right?"
At this time, Jiang Liwei would not show his trump card. He had to test Gao Ji's tone first and determine what kind of situation Gao Ji had reached.
If Gao Ji was still restless at this time, then he proposed to exchange Gao Ning's family for Zhang Yanling's support, which would obviously offend Gao Ji, and he might not even be able to leave Nanning Mansion by himself.
As a local snake, the master of the government, he had the responsibility to mobilize local soldiers and horses during the war. Gao Ji's power in Nanning Prefecture was really great. The reason why Chen Xi was able to escape was that Chen Xi was the leader of the army. He had a large number of soldiers and horses following him. In name, he was the highest military and political chief of the six southwestern provinces. He took over all defenses as soon as he entered the city.
Jiang Liwei's light chariot came south, and there were very few people accompanying him. In addition, there were only a handful of Jinyiwei spies in the local area, so it was impossible for him to compete with Gao Ji.
Gao Ji said: "I want to know what the situation Jiang Zhenfu has investigated!?"
Jiang Liwei smiled secretly and said, "From the investigation below, this case... seems to be a little unfavorable to you, Gao Zhifu!"
“Where’s the disadvantage?”
Gao Ji seemed very angry and said, "The Chenxi child insulted my daughter-in-law. The gentry and people of Nanning Mansion can testify for this matter. Could I still wrongly accuse him of such an unspeakable scandal? Do you think I would give up the reputation of my Gao family's innocence and frame him as a child who is a child?"
Jiang Liwei saw Gao Ji's appearance and thought to himself: "The old man knew that the deadline was approaching, so he casually accused the imperial court of officials, and he was a commander and governor who was of the imperial envoy. He bewitched people's hearts before the war and almost defeated the war. At least he was a crime of dismissal from office and exiled to the army!"
"If the boy named Chen insists on pursuing him, he may die in prison. He will not be nervous now!"
Jiang Liwei said: "From the meaning of Gao Zhifu, all the gentry and people in Nanning Prefecture City saw your daughter-in-law surnamed Chen, who was humiliated. Can you testify for you in the court?"
When Gao Ji heard this, his momentum became weaker.
To put it bluntly, what the gentry saw on that day was just that Gao Ning was slapped in the face and returned to the county government in a dilemma. Even if those gentry were willing to come out to testify, they were forcibly tied up on the boat by him, and they would change their words when they were intimidated. And those ordinary people were favored by Chenxi's policy of restricting the price of daily necessities such as grain and salt, and it was even more impossible for them to stand up to testify for him.
Gao Ji said: "Will this kind of thing not be tried in court?"
Jiang Liwei laughed: "Gao Prefecture, this is the territory of Nanning Prefecture. As Nanning Prefecture, you want to close the case in Nanning Prefecture and find someone who has never seen the truth in person to come out to testify for your daughter-in-law. Do you think it is possible? Have you ever thought that the court officials would not suspect that these witnesses were surrendered to your authority?"
"You...what do you mean? Are you trying to say that Chen Xi's child was framed by me?" Gao Ji raised his face and looked at Jiang Liwei in anger.
Jiang Liwei shook his head and said, "I am familiar with Shangshu Chen. He was his old friend before he became famous. Later, he rose to prominence. He ignored his friendship and once made me in Guangdong and asked me to be imprisoned and questioned..."
"Do you think I'll help him in this kind of thing?"
"But... all the evidence now shows that he has not committed a crime. If the Gao Gong still showed that I must obey your orders, I am afraid that the case will not be investigated any more. Even if I say that the surname Chen is guilty, the Three Laws and the Ministry of War will not make such a conclusion, especially those from the Ministry of Personnel are mixed with the envoys."
"Do you know... This concubine of Shangshu Chen is the eldest granddaughter of Xie Qianxi and Xie Yuqiao, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet of Dongge, and is highly appreciated by Ma Wensheng, the Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel, and Liu Daxia, the Minister of War. What is particularly important is that he was the lecturer of the Prince's East Palace. Now that the new emperor ascended the throne, there is no ironclad evidence. Do you expect the new emperor to punish Chenxi for his crime?"
When Gao Ji heard this, he suddenly realized that Jiang Liwei was his political ally and did not need too many means of winning over. He nodded immediately: "Since that is the case, Jiang Zhenfu might as well sit down and let's discuss the case well. How about it?"
Jiang Liwei smiled and said, "That's what it should be! Please!"
