Chapter 47: King’s Order Flag

Yue Su murmured to himself as he took the tips and tricks left by Li Yuanchen, and admired Li Yuanchen even more. Because Li Yuanchen had foreseen everything that happened and gave clear instructions. Now it was just the last step to see whether it would be successful or not.

At the end, Yue Su was not sure, but he believed that since Li Yuanchen was confident in saying so, and that he had predicted the verbal spat and other things that happened earlier, the final result should not be much different.

Early the next morning, Yue Su put on his official uniform and went to court.

None of the officials were surprised to see Mr. Yue go to court. To them, Mr. Yue's illness was most likely to be something fishy, ​​and he could be cured at any time.

Carpenter Zhu was very happy. He had visited him personally and confirmed that Yue Su was not pretending to be ill. In the whole court, there was only one minister who could play with him. How could he miss him after not seeing him for a few days?

After saying long live in Baiguan Mountain, Zhu Carpenter immediately said: "Yue Qing's family, the imperial doctor said that it will take ten and a half months for you to recover from your condition. Why did you come to court so quickly? How is your situation now?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My health has improved a lot. Now the Ministry of Justice has too many official duties that cannot be dealt with in a timely manner. It is really hard for me to lie down in bed with peace of mind." Yue Su bowed and said.

"The Qing family is indeed the mainstay of our Ming Dynasty. They care about the country and the people, and I am very satisfied. It's just that my beloved's body has not recovered yet, so I am really worried." Zhu Carpenter said from the bottom of his heart.

"Your Majesty's holy family, I am deeply grateful. I heard that the Tribunal of Justice did not make any progress in the trial of Wei Cifu and others for eight consecutive days. As the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, I feel guilty. Therefore, I plan to go to court in person for a speedy trial.

Make a quick decision and give your Majesty an explanation." Yue Su said generously.

"Did you hear that? Did you hear that..." Zhu Carpenter pointed to a circle of ministers and said: "This is my most loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. In his position, he plans his own affairs. You have been interrogating for eight days.

, I haven’t found out anything at all, I’m really ashamed of myself.”

"I am ashamed..."...Zhou Yingqiu, Li Chaohai and other officials from the Three Law Departments bowed together and said.

"It's good that you know! You should also learn from the Yue Qing family and see how the Yue Qing family tries cases." Zhu Youxiao followed up and said loudly: "Yue Su listened to the decree, and I will now give you the king's command flag.

The case will be tried and resolved quickly!”

"Your Majesty, Yue Su, accepts the decree!" After Yue Su finished speaking, he lifted up his clothes and knelt on the ground, "Long live my emperor!"

To a certain extent, the King's Order Flag is equivalent to Shang Fang's Sword, but it does not have the right to kill first and then report. It only has the right to act expediently. Zhu Carpenter gave this thing to Yue Su, which really surprised Yue Su. It was not written in Li Yuanchen's bag. Come to think of it,

He didn't expect it either.

All the civil and military officials looked at Yue Su. Some were snickering secretly and wanted to see Yue Su's joke. Some were worried about Yue Su, and many more were just watching.

There are two big trees above the court now. Wei Zhongxian and Yue Su will soon decide which tree to enjoy the shade under. Before this case, Wei Gonggong was strong and Yue Su was weak. After Wei Guangwei was eradicated,

, the trend of strength and weakness will inevitably reverse. But is a person like Yue Su suitable to be a big tree?

If you want to become a qualified big tree, you need to do two things. First, it can protect the people under the tree from wind and rain, but if anything happens to the little ones below, they can be protected. Second, you can borrow

Climb up the big tree.

Judging from past situations, Eunuch Wei is a qualified tree. Whether Mr. Yue is qualified or not depends on how he handles it this time.

After retiring from the imperial court, officials from the Sanfa Department accompanied Yue Su to the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice. The boss was back, and the Minister of Justice was not allowed to give up his position. Yue Su sat in the middle, and officials from the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate sat on both sides according to their rank.

, forming a semicircle.

The royal order flag given by the emperor was placed on the public case. Yue Su glanced at the officials on both sides and said in a deep voice: "Now that everyone is here, the trial will begin. Come on, bring Wei Guangwei to the lobby first."

"Sir, would it be better to start with the officials with lower positions?" Before any of the officers could reply, Zhou Yingqiu, the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who was sitting below, rushed to speak.

"Who is the official with the smallest position?" Yue Su asked knowingly.

"It's me, Ruan Zhenmei, the deputy imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Zhou Yingqiu said with a smile.

"Ruan Zhenmei's case involves officials from Jizhen. I heard that officials from Jizhen have not been brought here yet. How can I bring him to trial?" Yue Su said coldly.

"Your Majesty is right, but Ruan Zhenmei has just taken office in Beijing, and there are so many gold and silver properties in the house, so it is obviously unclear. From now on, I will be able to ask a few questions. After obtaining these confessions, after the officials from Jizhen arrive in Beijing,

"Wouldn't it be better to confront him twice?" Zhou Yingqiu still had a smile on his face.

"Master Zhou's words are wrong. Your Majesty told me that these cases must be tried and resolved quickly. Ruan Zhenmei's case can be concluded in one session when the prisoners from Ji Town are taken into custody, so there is no need to separate it into two sessions. No wonder Master Zhou spent eight days in trial.

I haven't given any explanation to the emperor. With your efficiency, it is estimated that even if the trial lasts for a year, the reason may not be clear. Didn't you hear clearly what the emperor said in the court? Let you learn from the headquarters, what should I do?

Review the case!”

After Yue Su finished speaking, he grabbed the gavel tree, slapped it hard, and said loudly: "Bring Wei Guangwei to the headquarters yet!"

"Yes!" The officer saw that Mr. Yue was really angry. Who dared to neglect him? He immediately went to the prison to arrest Wei Guangwei.

Zhou Yingqiu lost her temper due to Yue Su's words, so she had no choice but to remain silent.

After a short time, Wei Guangwei was brought to the court. After all, he was the second assistant of the imperial court. Before he was dismissed for dereliction of duty, he did not have to kneel even in court. Wei Guangwei was wearing prison uniform, held his chest high, and walked to the steps.

Without saying anything, he raised his eyes and looked at Yue Su.

Yue Su cupped his hands towards Wei Guangwei and said first, "Wei Cifu, you guys are missing. You are much thinner."

"Hmph!" Wei Guangwei snorted coldly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yue, for your concern. I was called to the hall today. If you have anything to say, just ask."

Yue Su opened the file on the table and said: "This department has ordered the case of the unknown origin of Mr. Wei's property. Actually, I don't have much to ask. I just want to know about the 1.3 million taels in Mr. Wei's house.

Where did you get the silver, 50,000 taels of gold, and the 160 boxes of jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings? It’s not like they just fell out of thin air, they grew out of the ground.”

"Master Yue is joking, of course it cannot fall from the sky or grow in the soil. I have already answered this question a few times ago when Master Yue was not around. Since Master Yue asked about it today, I might as well say it again. These gold and silver,

It was earned by my relatives from business and was stored in my house. The same is true for the jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. There were relatives in my house who were engaged in the business of jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Because I had just come to the capital, I had not rented them yet.

The shopkeeper kept those goods in my house. Coincidentally, the emperor sent people to search and came across them. However, these things are indeed not owned by me. They cannot be said to be stored for relatives, and it also violates the law of the court.

." Wei Guangwei said plausibly.

"It seems that there are a lot of people doing business in Mr. Wei's house. The headquarters was not here in the previous few meetings. I really don't know, but there are some people in your house who are doing business. Mr. Zhou..." Yue Su said and looked towards

Zhou Yingqiu asked: "You have been here in the past few halls. Do you know that there are people doing business in Master Wei's house? Where are they now? Have they ever been brought to the hall for confrontation?"

"Mr. Yue, what Mr. Wei said is true. There are indeed many business relatives in the house, and they have all been summoned to the court for confrontation. Now they have been released, but they have recorded their addresses and can be summoned to custody at any time." Zhou Yingqiu

He looked at Yue Su and said.

"That's good." Yue Su looked at Tong Zhou and said, "Tong Zhou, you will take people to bring all the relatives who are doing business in Master Wei's house to the court. I have something to ask you."

"I obey my orders." Tong Zhou is the chief arrester in the lobby of the Criminal Department. In the past, he was the one who came forward to mention people. He knew the addresses of these people very well.

He agreed, went to the court in person, summoned the police, and went to pick up the person.

Yue Su smiled at Wei Guang and said, "Don't let Mr. Wei stand and wait like this. Bring a chair over and ask Mr. Wei to sit down. Then pour a cup of tea and wait first."

"Yes, sir." A servant set up chairs and tables at the bottom, poured tea and asked Wei Guangwei to sit down.

Wei Guangwei was not polite, said "thank you" to Yue Su, walked to the chair and sat down on his own.

The court became quiet again, and all that could be heard was the sound of the gentlemen drinking tea. After waiting for half an hour, the people who should be mentioned were brought in one by one, but in such a big effort, everyone in the hall had already drank eight cups.

Tea.

When everyone arrived, Tong Zhou came forward to hand over the order. Yue Su asked him to stand aside, and then said: "Master Wei, these people are all business relatives in your house."

Wei Guangwei nodded and said: "Exactly."

"Is there any omission?" Yue Su asked again.

Wei Guangwei deliberately counted the number of people and said, "No."

"Does Mr. Wei know what kind of business they are doing?" Yue Su asked again.

"How can you not understand this?" Wei Guangwei pointed to a middle-aged man and said: "This is my brother-in-law, named Xuchang, and he is in the jewelry and jade business." Then he pointed to a man in his fifties.

The elderly man said, "This is my cousin. His name is Wei Guangye. He is in the antiques, calligraphy and painting business."

"This is my cousin, named Yin Chaobei, who is in the brothel business." "This is my nephew Wei Guang, who is in the gambling house business." "This is my nephew Guo Jing, who is in the gambling house business."

In the tea business.”

There were a total of five people in the hall, and Wei Guangwei named them one by one and told them the business they had done. Listening to his tone, it seemed as if it was serious business.

After hearing this, Yue Su nodded and said, "Sir Wei, please go back temporarily."

"Yes, sir." There was a servant on the side. He walked up to Wei Guangwei and said, "Sir Wei, please come back with us."

Just as Wei Guangwei was about to stand up, Zhou Yingqiu, who was sitting under Yue Su, said: "Master Yue, don't you want to interrogate Master Wei and make him confront his relatives who are doing business? Why do you want to invite him back again?"
