Qin Dewei didn't expect that he would come back to Huitong Hall again just a few days after he left, and before he had finished dinner with his former colleagues. When he stepped into the door of Huitong Hall, he felt like "Liu Lang, who was there before, is here again"
.
He was led to a bright hall by the servants. After waiting for a while, he saw Wang Da Sima walking in from behind.
There were three people beside Da Sima. One of them was Mr. Gu, and the other two were unknown to him. Qin Dewei guessed that they were probably officials from the Nanjing Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
This lineup is quite complete, including imperial envoys, judicial officers, local officials and gentry, and is widely representative.
Everyone sat down one after another, except for the primary school students who were forced to stand.
Almost everyone was here, except for Jiang Fuyin, the other person who had been summoned to the court. After waiting for another quarter of an hour, there was still no one.
Qin Dewei was idle, and he couldn't help but start provoking: "Wang Da Sima, Jiang Jingzhao despises you as an imperial envoy. I don't know what you think, I would never be able to bear it."
Wang Tingxiang snorted coldly, "If it were you? Would it be you who would be the imperial envoy? Have you been thinking about it for a long time?"
At this time, a government clerk came over to tell something on behalf of Jiang Fuyin.
"My master said that as a Jing Zhao Yin, he governs the kingdom on behalf of the emperor. He is dignified and dignified, and he will never be humiliated by an official with a sword and pen! Please make your own judgment, if you are guilty, just wait for heaven's punishment."
Experienced people will understand immediately. Jiang Fuyin probably felt that it was difficult for him to escape, so he simply stopped coming, so as not to be humiliated by a "sword and pen official" again. Anyway, the final decision was made by the emperor.
Mr. Gu couldn't help but be surprised. Did Jiang Fuyin really do something wrong? How did he let the elementary school students catch him quietly? How come there was no news at all?
As for the "Daobi Li" named Qin, he was a little surprised. I didn't expect that Jiang Fuyin had quite a personality, and he had the temperament of a bachelor who was willing to accept defeat.
Wang Da Sima fell into deep thought. If Jiang Fuyin doesn't come to court, what should be the procedure for today?
At this time, one of the two bosses of the Justice Department, who looked like he was probably from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, stood up, bowed his hands to Wang Tingxiang and said, "Since Jing Zhaoyin is not coming, there is no need for me to sit with you."
Listen, please take your leave first."
So another one left. It didn't matter that the others were just soy sauce, but Wang Tingxiang had to come up with a trial result no matter what.
So Wang Tingxiang slapped the case and said: "It's okay if Jing Zhaoyin doesn't come, let's start first! Qin Dewei came forward to express his love!"
Qin Dewei took a few steps forward and stood in front of the publican in the middle. The old official from the Criminal Department sat on the left of the publican, and Mr. Gu sat on the right of the publican.
Qin Dewei was speechless for a while, but could not start his statement.
Acquaintances such as Wang Tingxiang and Gu Lin were very surprised. What happened to the always sharp-tongued primary school students today? Why couldn't they even speak?
Qin Dewei smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "I don't know what to say."
Wang Tingxiang shouted: "In a place with strict laws and regulations, no mischief is allowed!"
Qin Dewei exclaimed: "My lord, I know it clearly, and I definitely didn't do anything intentionally! I'm really used to arguing with others and arguing fiercely with each other, and I can't adapt to this way of quietly speaking alone in the courtroom."
Wang Tingxiang: ""
Do you mean that you are used to quarreling with people in court? You are still not used to speaking alone?
Qin Dewei looked at Mr. Gu expectantly: "Otherwise, Mr. Dongqiao, will you speak for Jiang Fuyin and argue with me?"
Gu Lin: ""
You, a primary school boy, can't tell the difference between friend and foe? I'm here today as a local squire, and I'm on your side!
The old official of the Ministry of Justice on the other side laughed "haha" and said: "Interesting! Then let me question you."
Wang Tingxiang was afraid that Qin Dewei would offend the noble officials, so he introduced him: "This is the great Sikou of Zhou Dynasty in the Southern Capital!"
Qin Dewei understood that it was Zhou Shangshu of the Nanjing Ministry of Punishment, so he bowed.
Zhou Shangshu let go of the county magistrate, sat in charge of Dali Temple, and was promoted to Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment in Nanjing. He was very skilled in the trial business and asked:
"Qin Dewei! You are just a county official, but you dare to spy on the governor of Jingzhao and plan to Luo Zhi Shangguan. What are your intentions?"
That's right, that's it, it's got a bad taste! Qin Dewei found out the feeling instantly and immediately retorted: "It's not that I'm spying on the superior, but I have to snoop more to protect myself!
At the beginning, Jiang Cunyi, the second son of the government office, went on a lawless rampage and had a deep feud with his subordinates. He was also deliberately framed by him during the government examination!
How can I not worry day and night when I have provoked such a strong enemy? To protect myself, I have to pay more attention to Jing Zhaoyin, and it is only right to find some clues!
Then again, first Jiangfu Yin was not upright, and then I took advantage of it! This cause and effect cannot be reversed!"
Zhou Shangshu: ""
I only said one paragraph, and you immediately responded with four paragraphs?
However, it was not just the fourth paragraph, because Qin Dewei continued: "Just when I was full of worries because I had offended my superior, I discovered a strange phenomenon!
Jing Zhaoyin not only holds the throne of the king, but also ranks as a court official in the temple. His authority is not unimportant, and even ordinary ministers cannot compare with it!
Just look at that Mr. Hu and you will know what he can do to me! But why does Jiang Fu Yin always hold back and never make a direct move against me? When he does, he just follows the example of others!"
Not only did everyone fall into deep thought, Jiang Fuyin was indeed a little too cautious, even to the point of being low-key.
Qin Dewei didn't wait for others to figure it out, and first disclosed the results of his considerations: "After thinking about it for a while, I came up with a bold guess! Jiangfu Yin is very concerned about his job as a rural examination promotion officer!
So he didn't want to cause trouble, for fear that it would affect his dispatch of the provincial examination! This can be seen from when he gave up presiding over the government examination, and he was willing to keep his position as the promotion officer of the rural examination at any cost."
Today, Zhou Shangshu, who is determined to be a rebel, feels that he has finally caught the elementary school student's mistake and rebuked: "That's nonsense! A provincial examination only promotes the position of an official. If it is gone, it will be gone. It will not affect the official position at all!"
In the heart of a third-grade official, how could he care so much about the appointment of an officer for the rural examination?
Just to keep a useless job, I have to tolerate all kinds of things like you, a writer and writer. Are you dreaming too much, or are you just making up too many stories about talented people and beautiful ladies?"
Qin Dewei nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, but I can't figure it out. After thinking about it, I have a bold guess! Jiangfu Yin wants to do something in the provincial examination, such as cheating, so he cares so much about promotion in the provincial examination."
Official position!"
Listening to the primary school students' guesses on the left and right, Zhou Shangshu couldn't help but sarcastically said: "So up to now, it's all your imagination? Are you going to use your imagination as evidence to accuse Jiang Fuyin?"
"There is a saying that is, make bold guesses and verify carefully!" Qin Dewei retorted without thinking: "When I thought of this, I made another guess!
With Jiang Fuyin's cautious character, if he actually wants to do something as bold as fraud, there is only one answer!
He must be trying to help his close relatives to cheat, so he has no choice but to care so much about the provincial examination dispatch! If there is no provincial examination dispatch, how can he help others?"
Seeing what Zhou Shangshu was going to say, Qin Dewei said quickly: "No need to ask, sir. I also thought of a doubt at that time! Jiangfu Yin is from Zhejiang. Where can his close relatives take part in the provincial examination in Nanzhili?
When I think of this, I am at a loss for words, and my pure speculation has reached a dead end and cannot proceed any further.
Then I can only suppress these speculations in my heart and let them never be known to anyone. Who can have no time to think wildly and let themselves go?"
Zhou Shangshu questioned: "You have said a lot, but you dare to convict Jing Zhaoyin based on these speculations? The previous generation's excuses are nothing more than following!"
"The circumstantial evidence is all behind!" Qin Dewei continued: "Later, I worked as a clerk in the Huitong Hall and took an opportunity to learn a lot of internal information about the government office. Of course, this is for work needs, not for personal benefit!"
When the Imperial Envoy Wang Tingxiang heard this, he suddenly remembered Hua Tongpan, who had retained his official position as a inspector and was sent to Suzhou to supervise the production of gold bricks.
He also said that he was not pretending to be serving the public good for personal gain, but he was really trying to hide it! Wang Tingxiang dared to conclude that Qin Dewei must have obtained a lot of information about Fu Yin from Huatong Ban at that time!
Qin Dewei continued to express the doubts that came to his mind: "So I discovered a very strange thing. Only the second son of the Yin family in Jiang Mansion is domineering, and no one has ever seen the eldest son!
It's just that everyone in the Jiang family said that the eldest son was studying in his hometown in Zhejiang. So it's still strange to me, and there are too many doubts.
For example, Jiangfu Yin’s whole family lives in an official residence, why not bring his eldest son over to live with him?
Another example is that the second young master Jiang is so active and keen to make local connections, but why not let the first young master come forward? Logically speaking, after the first young master makes connections, it will be more beneficial to the Jiang family, right?
Also, it has been almost three years since Jiang Fuyin took office. Why has the eldest son never come to visit his father? Zhejiang is not far from Nanjing, and most of the roads are waterways.
I haven't even seen this eldest son show up during the holidays. Isn't this too unfilial?"
Zhou Shangshu said impatiently: "It is both speculation and doubt. In my opinion, it is all based on a villain's heart and speculating on others, and then making false claims! It is absolutely unacceptable!"
Qin Dewei said without hesitation: "At this time, you need a little imagination to combine guesses and doubts!
The difference between talent and genius lies in whether you have this kind of imagination! Only with this kind of imagination can you push things to achieve breakthroughs that turn cocoons into butterflies!
My inference is that the person Jiang Fuyin assisted in the fraud was the eldest son of the Jiang family. Only in this way can we explain why Jiang Fuyin was too cautious!
Then a new question comes. The eldest son of the Jiang family is registered in Zhejiang. How can he take the Nanzhili Township Examination and receive care and help from his father? The answer is easy to think of. The only way is to pretend to be registered!"
The three people in the hall were all shocked. This is where we get to the main topic of today’s interrogation!
"I also asked people to go to Zhejiang to inquire about it. People there said that the eldest son of the Jiang family was adopted by other members of the clan and then went to study abroad in the past two years, not in his hometown.
So I'm even more confused. Isn't it a little strange that I haven't shown up in my hometown or at my father's house in Nanjing for several consecutive years? The possibility of impersonating my nationality is getting bigger and bigger."
Hearing this, Wang Da Sima couldn't help but think of Hua Tongfen, who retained his official position and was sent to Suzhou to supervise the production of gold bricks pending probation.
Well, Suzhou is very close to Zhejiang. If you walk a little further south, you will enter Zhejiang.
At this point, Qin Dewei made his last point: "I happen to have some ability in two county governments. I checked the list of more than a hundred candidates for the provincial undergraduate examination and found that there was indeed a person named Jiang among them.
Then I inquired in private, and it was a coincidence that this person named Jiang Zan had not lived here for generations, but seemed to have settled in recent years.
Then I went to Jiage Library and spent time looking through the old registers, and finally found out the original registration records. Jiang Zan was originally from the same county and township as Jiang Fuyin!"
After Qin Dewei finished digesting the information, he expressed his conclusion: "I don't know if you believe it or not, this is a coincidence, but I don't believe it anyway!
Jiang Fuyin came to Nanjing to take office, and then Jiang Zan immigrated and registered. He and Fuyin came from the same county and hometown, and both had the surname Jiang.
Then the eldest son of Jiangfu Yin was adopted to an extinct family, and then Jiang Zan had an excuse to immigrate to his relatives because his parents had died.
When I went to Zhejiang to inquire, I also got a rough idea of Mr. Jiang's appearance, and it actually matched Jiang Zan very well.
Although I don’t have the most direct evidence below, so many coincidences combined, doesn’t it still explain the problem?”
There was silence in the courtroom. Wang Da Sima, Zhou Da Sikou and Mr. Gu were all dumbfounded. They were extremely shocked, as if they had seen a ghost.
They originally thought that if a primary school student dared to accuse Jiang Fuyin, he must have solid evidence.
It is estimated that the protagonist's aura has developed in the primary school student. Some luck will come from the sky, and by accident, he will get ironclad evidence of Jiang Fuyin's crime;
Or just save someone randomly on the street, and then the person bows down and gives evidence of Jiang Fuyin's crime to the primary school students.
As a result, the elementary school student has no evidence at all. He relies on his own pure imagination and tireless, tireless, and persecuted delusional conspiracy theory conjectures!
Most of the process was completely based on imagination. In the end, it was all fiction and no reality. In the end, it actually justified itself!
What is this? The most extreme ability to reason? The most genius imagination? Or the sharpest insight?
Those Luoqianji nets in ancient times were totally useless. They were simply weak compared to this one.
As the opponent of the preset position, Zhou Shangshu said a little unwillingly: "The trial of a case must be based on laws and regulations, and what is important is empirical evidence. You..."
Qin Dewei retorted: "To try ordinary people and ordinary cases is exactly what the boss said!
But people like Jiang Fuyin are relying on the emperor’s holy will. Whether there is any evidence or not depends entirely on the emperor’s heart!”
Do you want to see the world so clearly? Zhou Shangshu, who was still taught how to behave at the age of sixty-eight, was speechless. Apart from your height and appearance, how do you, a primary school student, look like a young man?
Only Mr. Wang Dasima and Mr. Gu were accustomed to the comments of primary school students and did not have any psychological fluctuations.
Jiangfu Yin was right not to come, and the result would be the same whether he came or not. He had been crucified by the elementary school students on the basis of "unwarranted truth".
