Zhang Dun and Xu Jiang were waiting in front of Donghua Gate early.
"Xiang Zhang, Mr. Xu, why are you two still waiting here?"
"Your Majesty, if such a big thing happens, how can we feel at ease?"
After a while, Situ Suzhe, Sikou Fan Chunren, Minister of Law Liu Kui, Kaifeng Prefect Zhang Shuye, and Chief of Police Department Cao Duo all arrived.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Si waved his hand and said: "Since everyone can't sleep, let's go sit in Chongzheng Hall."
Ming Zhaoxia went to the harem, and Zhao Si and others came to Chongzheng Hall.
Cai Bian and Changsun Moli, who were on duty at Minxing Pavilion, also came after hearing the news.
"Cao Liulang, please tell these people about the case."
"Here!"
After listening to Cao Duo's words, Zhang Dun, Xu Jiang, Su Che, Fan Chunren and others took a deep breath.
"It's so heartbreaking!" Several people couldn't help but cursed.
Is it okay to start a fire? Hundreds of thousands of people in Kaifeng will be dead or injured, their families will be destroyed, and they will be displaced. The weather is so cold and freezing, I don’t know how many people will freeze to death.
How dark-hearted does it take for someone to come up with such a vicious and despicable trick? Unexpectedly, Zeng Bu’s brother-in-law, who usually has a bad reputation, would be so shameless.
Zhao Si asked: "Cao Liulang, are all the people involved in the case under control?
"To return to Your Majesty, the Judicial Investigation Bureau, with the cooperation of the Gyeonggi, Jingzhao, Henan, Qinchuan, Qilu Police Department and the Security Bureau, has controlled all 479 people involved in the case."
Zhao Si hesitated for a moment and continued: "Cao Liulang, please tell me the list of main criminals."
"Here! The main criminals are Ma Shijun, Lin Dawei... Quan Zongyuan, Lai Zhishao, Wang Yu, Li Qingchen, Zhao Xiaoqian..."
After hearing Cao Duo read out the names of forty-three people, the faces of everyone present changed. Is there going to be another big storm?
"Your Majesty, do these people have solid evidence? The criminals Wei Tai and others have been brought to justice."
As soon as Zhang Dun asked the question, General Xu, Fan Chunren, Su Che and others all admired his courage.
Zhao Si did not answer directly. He narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Zhang Dun for a few times, and continued: "Wei Tai is just a pawn across the river pushed by certain people and certain forces."
Having said this, Zhao Si's eyes jumped from Zhang Dun's face to the faces of several others.
"Since I came to the throne, various measures have made many people and many forces feel panic. In their eyes, I am like an uncontrollable and unpredictable crazy horse that will pull the Song Dynasty into the abyss. I have a lot of thoughts in my heart.
The so-called sense of mission and justice allows them to take action spontaneously.”
"They secretly colluded together, and brought together many people with different thoughts. Some had evil intentions, some were unwilling to fail, and some were resentful and revengeful... They got entangled together, and then pushed out the craziest Wei Tai."
Having said this, Zhao Si's mouth showed a look of disdain, "What do they want to do? Do you want to praise me for my fine qualities?"
Everyone was shocked. This violent storm that was about to sweep many people away was unavoidable.
"Evidence? Zhang Xiang, the evidence of this major conspiracy has been piled up in a room. Letters, party records, and confessions of key figures...Wei Tai, he was at the front and did what he did
The dirtiest, so many people don’t want to have a direct relationship with him. But it doesn’t matter, they may not know that there is a word called evidence chain...Cao Liulang, please explain it to everyone."
"That's your Majesty. Gentlemen, the evidence chain is a series of effective evidence collected that is not inconsistent with each other, can corroborate each other, and can prove the facts of the case. Just like a chain, one link after another, A can prove B,
B can prove C, and C can prove A."
Cao Duo said loudly: "According to the requirements of the "Criminal Procedural Law Code", the chain of evidence is the core of the police's investigation of cases and the prosecution of the prosecutor's office. It is the basis for completing a solid case and avoiding unjust cases..."
After hearing what Cao Duo said, Zhao Si turned to Fan Chunren and said.
"Fan Zhonggong, Menha Province arranged this case to be handed over to the Gyeonggi Procuratorate for public prosecution and the Gyeonggi Judicial Court for adjudication. The Judicial Investigation Bureau, which leads the investigation of this case, will cooperate with Menha Province. This is the first major case handled by Menha Province after the reform of the new Yuan Dynasty.
Fan Zhonggong, please keep an eye on me."
Fan Chunren felt the pressure suddenly increased.
There are several old friends of his in the list of principal offenders, and it can be heard that this major case involves many famous people and scholars. If we really get to the bottom of it, maybe both the government and the public will be wiped out.
But this was a major treason case! In addition to the attempt to kill the king, he also set fire to the sealed city, abandoning the safety of millions of people, and there was also a conspiracy to provoke a war between Song and Liao.
In such a major case, the evidence is conclusive, who dares to cover it up? Who dares to intercede?
Fan Chunren, who always takes his father as a role model and pursues public loyalty and selflessness, is even less able to do such a thing.
He replied in a hoarse voice: "According to the decree! After I return, I will discuss with the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple to dispatch effective prosecutors and Dali judges."
Zhao Si looked at Fan Chunren and said happily: "With Fan Zhonggong sitting in charge of the province, I have a hundred hearts. I will enforce the law impartially and impartially. I believe that the Gyeonggi Procuratorate and the Judicial Court can complete this historical mission."
Fan Chunren felt the pressure on his body getting heavier and heavier, but the obsession in his heart supported him and kept his old body from being bent.
"The Gyeonggi Police Department and the Judicial Investigation Bureau have made great contributions to this major case! All the military and police who led and assisted in the investigation of this case should be commended and awarded medals and honors!" Zhao Si walked around the hall with his hands behind his back.
go.
When everyone saw this, their hearts moved, and they looked at him attentively and listened to what he said.
"Here!"
"What is the name of the patrol sergeant who first discovered the clues, seized the kerosene, and uncovered the case?"
"My name is Xiao Yan."
"He saved Kaifeng City, he should be awarded the Champion Medal!"
Zhang Dun and others were shocked and quickly advised, "Your Majesty, this is the highest medal of the Song Dynasty. It's a bit excessive."
"Isn't it worth it? I think it's worth it! Killing enemies is as important as saving people. Xiao Yan saved hundreds of thousands of people."
Zhang Dun, General Xu and others looked at each other, not knowing how to persuade him.
"Your Majesty," Cai Bian said aloud, "the soldiers of the Western Army fought bloody battles and sacrificed their lives to achieve great achievements and were awarded the Medal of Hussars. Xiao Yan was firstly responsible, and secondly, he was extremely lucky, and he unintentionally uncovered the
This case has jumped in front of the soldiers of the Western Army, and I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of soldiers will be disappointed."
"In addition, when awarding a Champion Medal, and it is a Champion Medal, of course it must be written in a big way to highlight its merits and achievements. But if the merits are published in newspapers and magazines, then Wei Tai's intention to burn down the city cannot be circumvented. This is
The move is very dangerous, and it would be bad if someone with evil intentions learns about this killing move from the newspaper and copies it."
Zhao Si looked at Cai Bian with bright eyes and nodded, "Mr. Yuandu has thought carefully, so he will award the Yunhui Medal and make some compensation in the honor. Zhang Xiang, Xu Gong, Shangshu Sheng and the Privy Council will allocate the honors of all the meritorious officials. The commendation will be finalized as soon as possible. Mr. Yuando, if you adjust the wording in the report a little, it will say that a major conspiracy case has been solved. Yes, it will be classified as a major conspiracy case! Don't mention the conspiracy to open the city by fire."
"Here!"
"It's late at night, and all the gentlemen are too old to stay up late. Now that everything has been decided, please go back and rest first. My companion, prepare a chariot to see the gentlemen out of Donghua Gate. Cao Liulang, you are young and have good legs and feet. Lisuo, let’s go out alone. Haha!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!/Here!"
After leaving the Donghua Gate, Fan Chunren was old and in low spirits. He cupped his hands, got into the carriage, and left first. Liu Kui, Zhang Shuye and Cao Duo also left first because they had other things to do.
Su Che, Zhang Dun, and General Xu had different political views. They had been fighting since the Yuanyou period until now. The estrangement in their hearts was very deep. They gave each other up and left.
Seeing everyone leaving one after another, General Xu cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Zhang, do you mind taking a ride?"
Zhang Dun laughed and said, "The carriage given by the official family is very spacious and can fit you and me in. Please!"
There was a gap between the two during the reign of Zhe Zong Yuan Fu. After several years of twists and turns, the two settled their differences.
The decoration in the car is simple and elegant. The two seats facing each other are moderately soft and hard, making it very comfortable to sit on. There is a coffee table in the middle. After Zhang Dun sat down, he took out a teapot from the cabinet under the coffee table and wrapped it in a thick quilt. Be extremely strict.
When I poured out the tea, it was still steaming slightly.
When the carriage started, Xu Jiang felt it was just a slight shake and very smooth.
He picked up the tea cup and said with a smile, "It is indeed a gift from the official family. This four-wheeled carriage owned by Prime Minister Zhang is really comfortable to sit on."
"I have one, Dasu Gong has one, Fan Zhonggong has one, and my brother's brother Zhifu has one. It is the most exquisitely made, but its size and decoration are slightly inferior to those of the royal family. The remaining ones are Zhang Jizhong, eldest son Xuanming, Yuan The chariots given by Du, An Houqing (An Tao), Wen Yubi (Wen Yi), He Botong (He Zhizhong) and others are slightly inferior."
Zhang Dun said proudly.
"Chongyuan (General Xu), you have just returned to the capital. The carriage given by the government is still being customized. Don't worry, it will be ready for use in ten days and a half."
"This carriage must have cost a lot of money. The government rewarded the officials with dozens of carriages for their merits. It cost a lot of money. It's a big deal."
"Chongyuan, don't worry about the officials. When have our officials ever done business at a loss? Last year, I was rewarded with the first carriage, and then all the important ministers were given carriages. Now Kaifeng City can ride on this four-wheeled carriage. To be proud. Who rides in a sedan when going out? It’s so embarrassing!”
"Officials, civilians, soldiers and civilians all go to the Akakura Carriage Factory to make custom orders. From high to low, there are products in all price ranges. And who is the owner of the Akakura Carriage Factory?"
"Who is it?" Xu Jiang asked curiously.
"The largest owner is the newly established Official Retirement and Pension Security Fund of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the second owner is Wells Fargo Bank."
Xu will not be interested in the first boss, whose name is long and difficult to pronounce, but only in the second boss.
"Wells Fargo? You see its name everywhere."
"Exactly." Zhang Dun smiled and said nothing more, "Have you ever seen who its big owner is?"
"That's it." Xu Jiang
The carriage drove smoothly on the streets of Kaifeng City.
The streets are still bustling with people. After seeing an unprecedented fireworks feast, the people of Kaifeng City are more enthusiastic and continue to celebrate the Lantern Festival.
In order to avoid these crowds, the carriage took a detour under the guidance of the guards.
Since the recovery of Hehuang and the old territory of Tubo, the Song Dynasty gradually no longer lacked good horses. Zhang Dun and other important officials of the court and the ceremonial guards were all replaced by cavalry.
The inner wall of the carriage is wrapped with a thick layer of cotton, which has a good sound insulation effect and makes it difficult for outside sounds to penetrate.
After a moment of silence, Xu Jiang went straight to the topic.
"Mr. Zhang, tonight's big case is coming from an evil person!"
Zhang Dun's triangular eyes suddenly stared, revealing a frightening light. This chapter has been completed!
