Xiao Feng and Shen Lian sat down at the tables and chairs in front of the iron railing. Shen Lian's Feiyu uniform put great pressure on Wang Tuiguan. If Xiao Feng hadn't been there, he might have been shaking even more.
Xiao Feng smiled and said: "Don't worry, although this is a prison, it is safer for you than the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Tell me, why did you disregard human life and frame King Jing?"
Xiao Feng's smile was like some kind of guarantee, and Wang Tuiguan stopped shaking so much.
After all, he had been a recommendation official for many years, and his thinking was very clear and rigorous. He had gone through the whole process in his mind over and over again in the past two days, and now it was very clear to him.
Five days ago, when Wang Tuiguan was still studying the "Massive Wind" case in Chunyan Tower with An Qingyue, someone reported that a body was found in a dry well outside the city. Wang Tuiguan hurriedly took the government officials with him. Rush to the scene.
It was a female corpse. She must have died not long ago, and the weather was cold, so she had not yet started to rot. The woman was sixteen or seventeen years old, with good looks, slim figure, and luxurious clothes.
The first two points were fine, but the extravagant clothing surprised Wang Tuiguan.
Because this is not ordinary luxury, the silk in the clothing is actually tribute silk! This is not something ordinary people can wear, not even if they are rich. It is okay to wear it secretly, but it will inevitably be disrespectful if others see it.
Only people in the royal palace and palace can wear it if the master rewards it.
Wang Tuiguan noticed that the woman's right hand was clenched tightly. After opening her fingers, he saw a precious jade pendant in the palm of her hand. On the jade pendant was a Chinese character "scape".
After taking off the woman's clothes, it can be seen that the woman's body is covered with whip marks. Although it is not fatal to the point where the bones are visible, the skin and flesh are still torn, which is shocking.
Wang Tuiguan couldn't help but think of the recent rumors in the capital, saying that King Jing had a special hobby, was very cruel, and liked to abuse women. Could this woman be related to King Jing?
Although he thought so, Wang Tuiguan did not dare to say a word. He took the woman's body back to the widow's room in Shuntian Mansion, showed the jade pendant to Fu Yin Guo Jun, and told Guo Jun his speculation.
Guo Jun was naturally more discerning than Wang Tuiguan, and he recognized at a glance that this jade pendant indeed seemed to belong to King Jing.
At that time, Shaanxi paid tribute to a piece of beautiful jade. Its lines naturally formed the character "王". Jiajing liked it very much and ordered it to be divided into three pieces. The lines of this jade were as high as the sky. After being cut into three pieces, the character "王" on each piece was equally clear. , is truly a talent made in heaven.
Jiajing ordered people to make three jade pendants and gave them to the prince, King Yu and King Jing respectively. These three jade pendants also became what they wore. Guo Jun was an official who could go to the palace to meet the king, so he had seen him several times. .
At this time, An Qingyue found out that a maid in Prince Jing's Mansion was indeed missing. It was revealed by someone who purchased her from Prince Jing's Mansion. It was said that Prince Jing loved her very much and was looking for her everywhere.
As soon as the news from these parties corresponded, Guo Jun's head suddenly became big. Guo Jun immediately used the self-protection ability that the Shuntian Prefecture Yin should have, and directly sent the files and corpses to the Ministry of Punishment, saying that this was a vicious and major case, and it should be The case will be heard by the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
Unexpectedly, Liu Tai was not a vegetarian and kicked the case back directly: "In Gyeonggi Province, your government has its own rights and responsibilities for hearing murder cases. Now that it has taken over, it will be easy to get results and then hand it over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice."
Don't do this to me. You think the case is too hot and you want to throw it to me. You must at least write an opinion on closing the case before I will accept it.
Guo Jun had no choice but to think about it and found that he couldn't get it to Jiajing in advance, so he wrote a note and politely asked King Jing to visit Shuntian Mansion in private, saying that he might have found King Jing's missing maid.
Unexpectedly, the policeman who went to deliver the letter limped back and said that King Jing was furious. Not only did he tear up the note, he also denied that the maid was missing, and asked his subordinates to give the policeman a punch and greetings.
Guo Jun's female elder.
Guo Jun also became popular, and the hidden stubbornness of scholars was aroused.
Of course he knew that King Jing should not be messed with, but human life was at stake, and it was definitely not a problem if he died in his hands. He sternly ordered Wang Tuiguan to investigate the case as soon as possible. Only when there was a result, he could think about how to end it.
thing.
Wang Tuiguan did not dare to neglect, and while asking the detectives to go out to inquire about the news, he studied the body carefully.
There were no fatal injuries on the body, but there were signs of having sex before death. The movements were very rough. Corresponding to these whip marks, it should have been a lot of damage. But the woman's face was not full of pain, but mixed with excitement.
And joy, just like seeing some hope.
After Wang Tuiguan dissected the body, he found that the deceased's heart was gray in color, which should be caused by sudden ischemia. From this, it was inferred that the woman died of cardiac arrest. As for the cause, excessive excitement or fear, as well as congenital diseases may cause
This result.
Wang Tuiguan returned to the scene, followed the traces on the weeds, and found that the traces led to the back door of a private house.
This private house is a two-entry courtyard with high doors and thick walls. There are no houses within a hundred meters around it, so it is quite private.
Wang Tuiguan asked the locals to ask, and the locals said that there was often no one here, but occasionally they would see very luxurious carriages coming quietly at night.
The Jingzhao Yin Mansion has archived information on the title deeds of houses in the capital. Wang turned around and found out that the owner of the private house belonged to the second housekeeper of Prince Jing's Mansion!
The butlers of the palace are not just white men, they all have titles and titles, especially for contemporary princes like Prince Jing, the chief steward of the palace also has official status and rank.
However, this private residence only belongs to the second housekeeper, who is really responsible for the work and basically has no official status.
Guo Jun was relieved at this time, and he decided to pin the shit basin on the second housekeeper of the palace.
If this crime is committed by the housekeeper, then King Jing is at best a lax discipline man. It is just a fault, not a crime. I believe that King Jing cannot commit a fatal attack for the sake of a second housekeeper when the evidence is solid.
Tianfu.
However, the housekeeper of the palace cannot be interrogated by Shuntian Mansion whenever it wants, so it needs to work with the Ministry of Punishment to request an order to arrest the person.
So Guo Jun wrote a very euphemistically worded memorial, attached the evidence and conclusions of Wang Tuiguan's case, and reported it to the Ministry of Punishment according to the rules.
You refused to accept the case at the beginning, but now I have a preliminary conclusion here. Whether you agree with it or not, it is your Ministry of Punishment that will take the blame.
If it is approved, it will be considered as submitted by both departments at the same time, and you will have to take responsibility; if it is not approved, the Ministry of Punishment has the right to review it. If you can find other results, that is your ability.
Guo Jun originally thought that with Liu Tai's personality and his relationship with Yan Dang, he would definitely suppress the case, find a reason to retry it, and find a way to exonerate King Jing's second steward.
Unexpectedly, the Ministry of Punishment was very happy this time and directly submitted the memorial from Shuntian Mansion, asking for an order to investigate!
Naturally, the memorial came to the cabinet first. After Yan Song received the memorial, he did not show it to anyone else and sent it directly to Jiajing.
Wang Tuiguan didn't know what Jiajing's reaction was at that time, and naturally he couldn't describe it to Xiao Feng. However, after Yan Song and Jiajing made a secret investigation, Jiajing issued an order for King Jing to hand over the second housekeeper to Shuntian Mansion for trial.
Guo Jun is now paralyzed. The case has been handed over to the Ministry of Punishment. Why is it pushed back to Shuntian Prefecture for trial? This is so strange!
Strangely enough, Guo Jun naturally had a way of protecting himself. He claimed that he was not feeling well and pushed Wang Tuiguan to the front without hesitation. Anyway, you have been investigating the case, so you can continue the trial.
There is nothing that Wang Tuiguan can do. He has the lowest position, so he naturally has to be the one who takes the blame.
Wang Tuiguan tried his best to control the scope of the case, so he did not intend to bring King Jing with him in the first question of the trial.
"Bold maniac, who is that woman? What is your personal relationship with her? How did she escape from your house?"
Unexpectedly, the second housekeeper seemed to be in a state of confusion and ignored Wang Tuiguan's hint. I don't know if he was afraid that he would not be able to bear such a big crime, so he opened his mouth to say it.
"Although that house is in my name, it was actually purchased by His Royal Highness Prince Jing as a place to stay while hunting in the countryside and returning to the city. I don't know anything about it!"
Wang Tuiguan's mind buzzed, thinking to himself, are all King Jing's subordinates like this - pig teammates?
You are trying to kill King Jing, and by the way, you are also going to kill me!
