Xu Lanzhou has been working at Dali Temple for ten years. He started from the bottom and worked his way up to the position of minister of Dali Temple. In the past, he spent many times in the position of chief secretary, helping
The former Minister of Dali Temple dealt with some trivial matters.
Now, after accepting the position of Minister of Dali Temple and just sorting out everything in hand, an old case suddenly comes up?
"Is there something wrong with Mr. Xu?" Sang Rou asked when Xu Lanzhou didn't speak.
Xu Lanzhou regained his composure, looked at Sang Rou, and said: "This is a serious matter, and I can't give you an answer right away. According to what you said in your complaint, Liu Menghe, the Minister of Household Affairs, was raped more than ten years ago.
Set up a trap and kill everyone, is this what you mean?"
"Yes." Sang Rou nodded, "Sir, all the evidence is here, please take a look at it."
The Minister of Punishment listened for a long time, but he finally got the clue. He said hurriedly: "Wait a minute, what do you mean? Liu Menghe? What does Sang Sizheng mean? Do you want to overturn the case for Liu Menghe? The case has been finalized, after so many years.
Yes, the emperor personally intervened, and now there is a retrial? Sang Sizheng, is there something wrong with your mind?"
The case decided by the emperor is now being retried. Isn't that a blatant slap in the emperor's face?
Sang Rou only said: "Liu Menghe is my father, and he has reversed the case for my Liu family. For me, it is of course what a child should do. If something is wrong, it is wrong, and if something is wrong, it should be brought back to order. Is there any problem?"
Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice: "..."
I almost didn’t catch it in one breath!
Who dares to poke holes in this trap?
The Minister of Punishment calmed down, turned to Xu Lanzhou, and asked: "Master Xu, you are not so ignorant that you want to take this case, right? I have to remind you that this is not a simple job. You have to take it. This
You will not be able to bear the consequences you will face."
Of course Xu Lanzhou understands, but the matter has been handed over to him, so why should he back down?
The prince was also confused when he heard this. He asked: "What's going on? What is the Liu family?"
Xu Lanzhou ordered someone to hand the complaint to the prince. The prince took it and scanned it roughly. Then, the expression on the prince's face froze: "You must be cautious about this matter, since Sang Rou has handed over all the evidence."
, it stands to reason that after Dali Temple took over the case, it should check each case one by one. Even if many years have passed since the case, if Liu Shangshu is really wronged, then Liu Shangshu must be cleared. Mr. Chief Assistant, don’t you think so? "
When the prince said that later, he deliberately brought Luo Jibei in. He could tell that since Luo Jibei appeared here today, he must be on the side of Sang Rou and Jing Yu, otherwise it would be such a small case.
, I can't help Luo Jibei. In this case, what if the old case was retried? He proposed to retry it. In some respects, he was still showing his favor to Luo Jibei!
He had to let Luo Jibei know that he, the prince, was very sensible and worthy of Luo Jibei's side.
After hearing the prince's words, Luo Jibei nodded and said, "What the prince said is true. If so, let the prince make the decision, so as to save you the trouble."
Prince: "..."
Why does he feel that Luo Jibei is just waiting to trick him?
The Minister of Punishment opened his mouth to say something, but had to shut up.
No matter the prince or Luo Jibei, he can't afford to offend him, and his opinions... can basically be ignored!
Luo Jibei's eyes paused, and then said: "Your Highness, there is no way to make up for the damage that has been done. If we can really repay the suffering master with the truth, it will be considered a blessing in misfortune."
The prince nodded. Even though he was unhappy in his heart, he still nodded calmly and said, "I have remembered what Mr. Chief Assistant said. Thank you for reminding me."
Luo Jibei nodded calmly, as if this matter was a very common thing.
Xu Lanzhou felt relieved after hearing the prince's statement and Luo Jibei's words.
This matter is indeed not easy.
Xu Lanzhou also knew that as the minister of Dali Temple, even though some things were obligatory, but in the court, others spoke softly, and he could not actually decide on many things. Without the support of the prince and Luo Jibei, he might have many clues.
It was cut off even before it could be delivered to the emperor. It is not easy for an official to be an upright official. Officialdom is never a black and white place.
Xu Lanzhou turned to Sang Rou and said: "Sang Rou, this old case... I have taken it. Next, I will investigate the matter thoroughly, and I will also check the evidence you provided one by one. When the time is right, I will
The official has decided that the trial will be open to the public, and at that time, regardless of the truth or not, I will let the case reappear in the world."
"Then thank you so much, Mr. Xu." Sang Rou thanked Xu Lanzhou.
Xu Lanzhou nodded, and today's case has come to an end.
Originally, the matter between Jing Yu and Sang Rou was to be heard, but now, an old case has been brought up. In fact, no one cares whether there is a relationship between Jing Yu and Sang Rou. To everyone, those are not important.
What matters is how the next old case should be presented to everyone.
This is what Xu Lanzhou needs to consider.
Xu Lanzhou pronounced the verdict in court, and Jing Yu was found not guilty and released in court.
The Minister of Punishment was unhappy, but he really had no way to argue with Xu Lanzhou. The issue he needed to consider now was... The Ministry of Punishment had tortured Jing Yu. If he had any business involvement with Jing Yu in the future, Jing Yu might not want to do it.
Will you put on some shoes for the Ministry of Justice?
The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice was also very depressed. He had originally thought that if he had an affair with the prince's future concubine, he would probably not be able to save his life. But who could have imagined... In the end, the thunder was loud and the rain was small, but the prince didn't say a word.
In order to punish Jing Yu, the various torture methods used by the Ministry of Punishments to extract confessions seemed a bit redundant.
The Minister of Punishment lamented in his heart that it was fortunate that Jing Yu had not been promoted, otherwise it would have been even more difficult for the Punishment Ministry to do anything.
He took the initiative to say to Jing Yu: "Commander Jing, you have suffered. It is indeed my lack of discipline that made my subordinates be so disrespectful to the commander. I'm really sorry, I'm sorry!"
The Minister of Punishment apologized to Jing Yu in an attempt to regain his favor.
Before Jing Yu could respond, Jiang You spoke first: "I've already beaten you. Is it useful to say this? Master Shangshu is not good at discipline. Is it possible that you will go back and beat your subordinates?"
"You..." Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to be choked like this. He didn't even answer a word.
Jing Yu said coldly: "Shang Shu, there is no need to apologize. There is no need to talk about poor discipline. What happened yesterday... Jing will remember it and leave."
After Jing Yu said this, he walked out of Dali Temple with the others, not wanting to waste any more words with these people.
