After receiving the news, the prefect Zhang and Chen Xuezheng came hurriedly, but the former looked solemn, while the latter was still stern, but there was a pride in his eyes.
Originally, Kou Yuanxing was a false accusation, and the prefect Zhang was willing to make a fuss. The case could be closed, but at this time Kou Yuanxing hit the wall and died. With Chen Xuezheng's operation, the charge of forcing the candidates to death was deducted to Prefect Zhang.
After hearing the report from prison guard Wang Shan, Chen Xuezheng looked at Prison Zhang meaningfully, "You lead the way, and I will go to the prison for personal visits."
"Yes, sir." Wang Shan could only respond.
With his hands behind him, Chen Xuezheng, wearing an official robe, was about to take a step. His eyes swept and scolded him with a cold face, "The idle people are back down immediately!"
Chen Xuezheng disliked Zhan Feiyu and was in trouble here. As for Chen Jin's assassination of Zhan Feiyu, Chen Xuezheng had known it for a long time. He looked at Chen Jin with disgust, who was useless. Fortunately, he had been removed from his clan and was embarrassed.
Looks out!
"Mr. Chen, the student has something unknown." Zhan Feiyu respectfully saluted Chen Xuezheng, and then pointed at Fatty Chen who was limping on the ground.
"Previously, Kou Yuanxing sued Lord Zhang for fraud in the imperial examination with only one complaint. Lord Zhang was temporarily removed from office, Lord Chen asked Qian Tongzhi, Wu Tongzong, and Han Tuiguan to replace Lord Zhang, three masters, including Qian Tongzhi, Wu Tongzong, and Han Tuiguan.
Manage the affairs of Nanxuan Mansion.”
Although Chen Xuezheng was a senior high school official, he was only responsible for the imperial examination, not the Jiangnan Road Administration. Even though he found a position of prefect Zhang who was temporarily removed from the position of prefect Zhang, he had no right to interfere in the affairs of the Nanxuan government and could only let the government go.
Other officials in the yamen are temporarily appointed.
As the head of the Chen family, Chen Xuezheng knew Zhan Feiyu’s purpose as soon as he spoke.
Chen Xuezheng looked at Zhan Feiyu with a arrogant look and sarcastic voice: "Zhan Feiyu, you are just a little boy, and you don't even have a fame. It's not your turn to interfere in the affairs of the Nanxuanfu Office! Don't think the rules
If you value you, you will lose your sense of responsibility!”
He was just a disciple of Mr. Gu, so overestimating his abilities! Chen Xuezheng was ridiculed. If Gu Qingzhou was here, Chen Xuezheng might be restrained. As for Zhan Feiyu, he was just an ant that could be killed by just a little bit.
"Mr. Chen said very much, and students dare not interfere with the authorities." Zhan Feiyu bowed to the end, and his attitude was very low, but his words were still annoying and unpaid.
"Today, Chen Jin openly committed the murder in Li Ji, and he kept saying that he was the eldest prince's cousin and Lord Chen's cousin. Chen Jin was fearless and lawless. The student begged Lord Chen to avoid suspicion for the time being and give the students justice!"
Hearing this, Chen Xuezheng smiled angrily, his eyes flew out of time, but his attitude was still arrogant, "Zhan Feiyu, don't forget that this official is a third-rank official of the court. What qualifications do you have to make trouble for me as a child? You immediately
If you leave, I will not pursue the matter for the sake of Mr. Gu, otherwise I will not blame me for being rude to you!"
Zhan Feiyu was not scared at all and spoke loudly: "The student must suspect that Chen Jin was instructed! That's why he dared to openly assassinate me, a little boy!"
Scholars, farmers, industry and businessmen! Even if Fat Chen was not expelled from the Chen family, he was just a low-ranking businessman.
Zhan Feiyu is not only a scholar, but also the head of the house trial case. He is a newly released child. Fatty Chen dares to assassinate Zhan Feiyu. Once he is investigated online, the crime will definitely be executed.
Looking at Zhan Feiyu who was in a direct conflict with Chen Xuezheng, Prefect Zhang knew that her move seemed reckless and impulsive, but she died because of herself and Kou Yuanxing.
Before Chen Xuezheng could speak, Zhan Feiyu glanced at a group of scholars who came from outside the government office and stood straight like a green pine, "Kou Yuanxing is dead now. Will Lord Chen force the students to death? Nanxuanfu case test
The head did not die at the hands of a thug, but was forced to death by the Jiangnan Dao Xuezheng. I believe that the emperor and the court will definitely give me justice!"
"Zhan Feiyu!" With an angry shout, Chen Xuezheng stared at Zhan Feiyu fiercely, and squeezed out from his teeth word by word, "Do you know what the crime is to falsely accuse the imperial court of appointing an official?"
If it weren't for the Nanxuan Courtyard, in front of everyone, Chen Xuezheng really wanted to kick Zhan Feiyu who was talking nonsense and forced him to death one by one, she wouldn't have stood here and spoken loudly!
"Chen Jin is Lord Chen's cousin. Why dare he commit murder with a knife in Li Ji? If Lord Chen was not instructing someone behind the scenes, why wouldn't he avoid it according to the law?" Asked without any hesitation, Zhan Feiyu grabbed Fatty Chen and assassinated himself
Don't let go of things.
Whether it is the people watching the fun outside the government office or the scholars gathered together in groups of three or three, looking at the striking Zhan Feiyu, and then at the slight-looking Chen Xuezheng, they obviously tend toward Zhan Feiyu's words.
Fatty Chen is Lord Chen's nephew. If he is asked to investigate the case, that's all that he can do. Moreover, over the years, Fatty Chen has been a hero in the Nanxuan Mansion. Isn't it because his surname is Chen, and the Chen family is the eldest prince.
The foreign home.
"You don't know, I was in Li Ji at that time, and the lobby was full. There were so many people there, and Fatty Chen stabbed Miss Zhan's back with a knife." The man who was speaking was still scared when he thought about it.
Seeing that everyone onlookers came over, the man vividly described the dangerous scene at that time, and finally sighed: "Fortunately, Miss Zhan is both civil and military, otherwise blood would have splattered on the spot."
Qi Heng, who was standing beside him, walked up with courage, ignored Chen Xuezheng's cold eyes, and said seriously: "Kou Yuanxing sued the prefect Zhang that day, and Lord Chen ordered the prefect Zhang to avoid it. Now Chen Jin assassinated Zhan Feiyu,
Why is Lord Chen stricter than discipline others and lenient than discipline himself?”
"If you have the law and do your own things, it is called illegal." Another scholar echoed loudly, almost pointing at Chen Xuezheng and saying that he was favoritism and abused the law.
Another scholar from Qingya Academy came up and said seriously to Chen Xuezheng: "There is a law but does not follow the law. Although the law is good and cannot be waited, please allow Lord Chen to enforce the law impartially!"
"Only follow the law of three feet and lead the people in all directions." The scholar wearing a blue shirt looked solemn, not because the law did not blame the masses, nor to curry favor with Zhan Feiyu.
Zhan Feiyu won against Fatty Chen that day and sent rice, grain and silver to the border soldiers. Just for Zhan Feiyu's sincere heart, they should not let murderers like Fatty Chen escape the sanctions of the law.
!
More scholars stood on the side of Zhan Feiyu, looking up to the mountains and walking on the scenery. Although they could not arrive, their hearts yearned for it.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xuezheng was angry and laughed. He didn't take Zhan Feiyu seriously, but Chen Xuezheng really couldn't ignore it for a group of scholars.
"Prince Zhang is a good method!" Chen Xuezheng sneered and looked at the charity of the charity of the side. Kou Yuanxing's charge of being forced to death was not deducted from the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the char
No concessions.
If Chen Xuezheng had not been concerned about Mr. Gu, even if all the scholars in the Nanxuan Mansion gathered here, he would have taken down Zhan Feiyu with thunder.
"Since that's the case, I will avoid it!" After being furious, Chen Xuezheng calmed down instead. "Ku Yuanxing's death was left to Qian Tongzhi to investigate. As for the case of Chen Jin's assassination of Zhan Feiyu, since the evidence and physical evidence are complete, he will be temporarily detained in prison.
, After he signed and sealed, he would judge the same as he should, and I will never interfere!"
Chen Xuezheng touched his beard and sneered. Chen Jin died and the Chen family was not short of such an ignorant playboy! But it was not so easy for the ban on Kou Yuanxing to escape.
Originally, Chen Xuezheng wanted Zhan Feiyu to avoid it, but now he changed his mind, "Kou Yuanxing is a candidate in this palace examination, and died unjustly. Zhan Feiyu, I am willing to let you five follow the yamen runners.
Go to prison so that you don’t think that this official is unfair!”
"Thank you, sir, the students' impulsive words and deeds just now. Please forgive me for my young age!" Zhan Feiyu was definitely able to bend and stretch, and immediately went down the pole and apologized to Chen Xuezheng.
...
The prison is not only dark in light, but also filled with an unpleasant smell. It is probably not ventilated all year round. In addition, prisoners are injured from time to time, and the smell of blood and musty smells are mixed together, which makes people feel a little disgusting.
"Mr. Chen, let's go here." Wang Shan led Chen Xuezheng and his group to the innermost prison, where Kou Yuanxing had been imprisoned before.
As he got closer, the smell of blood became stronger. Zhan Feiyu's expression remained unchanged, but the three scholars following her looked pale, and one of them covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve.
Four prisoners were guarding the cell. After seeing Chen Xuezheng and his party, they immediately knelt down and saluted. The prisoners who were guarding died, and even the prisoners could not escape the blame when they were pursued.
Looking at the bloody patch on the wall, and then looking at the corpse lying on the ground, with a piece of head collapsed, mixed with dried blood and straw, Chen Xuezheng took two steps back in disgust, and said coldly with a stern face: "Qian Tong
I know, if you take the captain to investigate and investigate the prison, I and Lord Zhang will not go in."
This seems to be because of avoiding suspicion, but in fact it is because it does not want to get involved in this dirty thing.
"Yes, sir." Qian Tongzhi is almost sixty years old and will retire in two years. Who would have thought that he would get involved in the battle between Chen Xuezheng and Prefect Zhang? But he had no choice but to take the order and investigate.
case.
Yin Wuyan never spoke from beginning to end. At this moment, he comforted Zhan Feiyu's head. Knowing that the little girl was brave, he did not stop her from coming to prison.
Zhan Feiyu looked at the corpse lying on the ground through the prison door, and inexplicably felt a sense of sorrow that he was indescribable. Human life was like a mustard of grass!
Captain Geng went into the prison and turned the body over first. Kou Yuanxing's blood letter was hidden on his chest. There was no paper or pen in the cell, so he tore off his underwear and then bit his wrist.
, the right index finger dipped in blood.
Captain Geng spread the bloody book with a strong smell of blood. He seemed to be checking it, but he quickly read it from beginning to end, "Sir, this is the blood book found in Kou Yuanxing's chest."
Qian Tongzhi took it over and wanted to submit it to Chen Xuezheng and Prefect Zhang, but remembered that both of them had avoided it, so he could only investigate the case.
There are not many words in the blood-written letter, with only six lines in total. I have to say that Kou Yuanxing’s literary talent is excellent, and he can explain the matter clearly in just six lines: In order to make Zhan Feiyu the head of the trial case in the palace, the prefect Zhang canceled it.
He finished the ranking in the examination in his house.
Also, because the prefect Zhang was angry that Kou Yuanxing sued him for fraud in the imperial examination, he had to severely punish Kou Yuanxing to serve as a warning. Kou Yuanxing, who could not be elected for the imperial examination in his life, had no choice but to die in the end.
Captain Geng is still checking the cell at this moment.
The coroner began to check the body, while the coroner said, and the clerk next to him recorded quickly.
"The deceased died because his head hit the wall, and there were no other fatal injuries on his body." The coroner tidied up the corpse's clothes and continued: "The deceased had bites on his left wrist, dried blood on his right index finger, and residuals on his lips.
Bloodstains…”
After hearing the coroner's autopsy, Zhan Feiyu couldn't help but frown. Judging from the current situation, Kou Yuanxing really committed suicide. Of course, it is not ruled out that someone grabbed him and hit him on the wall to death.
But Qian Tongzhi had just read the blood book, and Zhan Feiyu also heard it. The blood book was short and clear, and there was no hidden mystery, so only people forced Kou Yuanxing to commit suicide?
"Sir." Captain Geng had checked the cell and found no abnormalities.
As for whether Kou Yuanxing committed suicide or murder, the prison guard in charge of guarding the prison said tremblingly: "Kou Yuanxing was detained alone. Because it involved fraud in the imperial examination, anyone is prohibited from visiting the prison. Moreover, the meals of three meals a day are sent to the prison.
At the door, there are two keys to open the prison door, one in the hands of the prison head Wang Shan and the other in the hands of the person on duty.”
In other words, if Kou Yuanxing was killed by him, the murderer must enter the cell and gather two keys to open the prison door.
But Wang Shan's key has never left his body, and the jailer on duty has also been tied to his belt, so from the current evidence, Kou Yuanxing committed suicide.
After hearing this, Chen Xuezheng looked at the prefect Zhang with a sneer, and then looked at Zhan Feiyu next to him. As for Yin Wuyan, who was standing beside Zhan Feiyu, because his face was too ordinary and his momentum was restrained, Chen Xuezheng only
When he was the guard sent by Master Gu to protect Zhan Feiyu, he didn't care much.
"Since that's the case, I sent the body to the charity village first. I heard that Kou Yuanxing was raised by his widowed mother. Qian Tongzhi sent someone to the mother of Kou Yuanxing, Tongzhi of Huai County. The white-haired man sent a black-haired man, which is the biggest in the world.
"Chen Xuezheng sighed with emotion, and turned around and walked out of the prison first.
Prefect Zhang looked at Kou Yuanxing's body with complicated eyes. According to the coroner's autopsy, Kou Yuanxing's death was after he and Xiao Fuzi left last night. Chen Xuezheng did not attack at this moment, but Prefect Zhang knew that it was just a storm that was about to come and the wind filled the building.
,The real crisis is still behind,
Yin Wuyan patted Zhan Feiyu on the shoulder, and the two followed the yamen runners and four scholars out. Kou Yuanxing's death was so tragic that several scholars really didn't want to stay again.
Leaving the dim prison, Zhan Feiyu whispered: "Big brother, was Kou Yuanxing forced to commit suicide?"
"Now, I will go to see Prime Minister Zhang, and I will accompany you to meet Master Xiao." Yin Wuyan has investigated many major cases. Kou Yuanxing's death is actually very clear. Chen Minzhong forced him to death to frame Prime Minister Zhang, regardless of whether there is any evidence or not.
If such a case occurs, the statute of association is likely to leave Nanxuan Mansion.
