Chapter 333: Retrial or not?

Yang Qingyuan heard the voice transmission and felt alert.

He had always felt that the defense of the Great Zhou Palace was weak. On the surface, only Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian were the two Dongxuan Realm guards who guarded the palace.

The strength of the four commanders of Jinyiwei is unknown, and they often go out of the capital for business.

Such a defensive force was still weak for the supreme leader of the Great Zhou Empire.

Although Cao Zhengchun is also a rare master in Dongxuan, he is not without opponents.

One Dongxuan restrained Cao Zhengchun, who had been staying in the palace all year round, and another one was enough to cause chaos in the palace.

Now this sound transmission has verified Yang Qingyuan's conjecture.

The guarding power of the Daming Palace is not as simple as it seems.

The person who just transmitted the message was definitely not a warrior in the Dongxuan Realm.

Yang Qingyuan's Tiandun sound transmission method is different from ordinary sound transmission methods. Ordinary sound transmission is like a clear message. Once the frequency can be found, the message can be deciphered.

Therefore, if the eavesdropper's martial arts is higher than that of the message transmitter, there is a high probability that he can know the content of the message.

The Tiandun sound transmission is different. The Tiandun sound transmission is like an encrypted message, and the frequency changes. If someone does not know the decryption method, the probability of deciphering the content of the sound transmission is extremely low, although it is not as high as the probability of the rising sun.

, but it’s almost the same as Chaoyang Beiqi!

This secret Taoist skill is so tasteless.

The person who just sent a message to warn Yang Qingyuan must be a Taoist master who is proficient in this method if he can decipher Yang Qingyuan's Tiandun message.

Ordinary Dongxuan masters cannot make Yang Qingyuan unaware of his position.

And judging from the name he called Zhang Sanfeng, his seniority was quite high!

Just when Yang Qingyuan was guessing his identity, Emperor Zhou had already started asking questions.

"You beat the Dengwen drum, you must have a grievance!"

"Your Majesty, my son did not kill anyone. He is a scholar and a loyal man. He will not kill anyone!"

As she said this, Grandma Li raised the paper in her hand above her head and said, "Please, His Majesty the Emperor, please look into it and give my son justice!"

Cao Zhengchun stepped forward and took the paper. After checking it and confirming that it was OK, he handed it to Emperor Zhou.

Emperor Zhou read it briefly and found that the writing was very vague. The whole article was talking about how pure, filial and loyal her son was, but there was no evidence to prove that the person was innocent or that the case was doubtful.

"I know!"

After saying that, he glanced at Cao Zhengchun. Cao Zhengchun, who had been accompanying him all year round, immediately knew the Zhou Emperor's consciousness.

"Please come with me to the side to rest! The emperor will definitely investigate this case strictly!"

After speaking, Cao Zhengchun asked a young eunuch to take Grandma Li down.

Emperor Zhou handed the complaint in his hand to Cheng Qingsong and circulated it to everyone.

"Do you have any impressions of Li Shou's murder, rape, and robbery case?"

How could the leader of the highest political and legal agency of the Great Zhou Dynasty not know about such a major case in the Gyeonggi region?!

Wei Donglai, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment who was directly in charge of the case, was the first to speak, "Reporting to the superiors, this case should be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment. However, due to the lack of manpower, we have to go to the prefectures and counties to pick up some prisons and pick up unjust cases, so the case was authorized to Wan."

It will be handled by the county every year! It will be supervised and reviewed by the Ministry of Criminal Justice!"

"Yes!" Emperor Zhou nodded. The shortage of people in the Six Departments does not only happen in one day, but in two days. It is also the practice of the Criminal Department to authorize handling of cases!

"How is the result?!"

"This case was supervised by Zhao Chenzhao, a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment, and Huang Ye, a member of the Ministry of Punishment, was sent to the prisons in Gyeonggi to verify unjust, false and wrong cases. There should be no problem!"

At the end of the day, Wei Donglai became more and more quiet and lacked confidence. If there was no problem, why did he go to Beijing to appeal to a higher level?! And he also sounded the Dengwen drum that had not sounded in ten years?!

You must know that once it is not verified, it is a false accusation.

Eighty court rods and three thousand miles of exile are no joke!

Emperor Zhou did not speak, but turned to look at Cheng Qingsong who was standing aside!

"Cheng Qing, does the Metropolitan Procuratorate know about this?"

"The affairs of the counties in Gyeonggi Province are specifically in charge of Li Xunhuan, the censor of Zuoqiandu!" As the top leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Cheng Qingsong has many more things to take care of than Wei Donglai, and prison is not the duty of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Naturally, it is impossible to be as clear as Wei Donglai.

"Li Qing?!"

Emperor Zhou cast a questioning look at Li Xunhuan.

"Report to the superiors! The ministers involved in this case know that the Metropolitan Procuratorate once appointed Hu Yunji, the Censor of the Gyeonggi Province, to inspect the Gyeonggi Province, and he once inspected the case in Wannian County.

Previously, the case was closed because the murder weapon was not found, and Wannian County Magistrate was once recorded by Hu Yunji, but later after the Ministry of Criminal Justice returned the case, additional investigation was completed, and the evidence was completed."

"So, there are no problems with this case?!"

After listening to the answers of the ministers, Emperor Zhou frowned and thought of Yang Qingyuan's previous words.

"Yang Qing, what do you think of this case?!"

At this moment, Yang Qingyuan was thinking about the person who had just transmitted the message, and did not listen carefully to the duel between Wei Donglai and others and Emperor Zhou.

It's like being distracted in class and being suddenly called by your teacher to answer a question. If you don't handle it well, you will be punished.

But after all, Yang Qingyuan has been in the officialdom for many years, so he still has this reaction!

"I only obey the Holy Judge and dare not speak nonsense!"

This is the classic answer that cannot be answered.

My knowledge is shallow and I dare not say more. Your Majesty, what did you say?! That’s what it is!

No matter what the situation is, saying this sentence can temporarily alleviate the dilemma of being distracted.

"Then do you think this case should be retried!?"

After Yang Qingyuan hesitated slightly, he made a decision.

"Returning to the throne, this case has already passed through the hands of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Moreover, whether to retry it or not, the country has its own laws."

Yang Qingyuan did not answer directly, but gave an answer.

Although there are no detailed provisions on this in the "Dazhou Code", there are clear provisions in the "Interpretation of Specific Application Issues of Certain Laws in the Dazhou Code" newly released last year.

Yes, this style of writing was undoubtedly compiled and formulated by Yang Qingyuan.

Unique to this dynasty, nothing else!

In this set of judicial interpretations compiled by Yang Qingyuan, there are statutory circumstances that warrant a retrial.

According to the judicial interpretation of the "Dazhou Code", the case should be retried under the following circumstances.

1. There is new evidence that is sufficient to overturn the original judgment or cast doubt on the originally determined facts;

2. The crime facts identified in the original judgment lack conclusive evidence;

3. The main evidence used in the original judgment to determine the basic criminal facts was forged;

4. The presiding official committed corruption, accepted bribes, engaged in malpractice for personal gain, and violated the law when hearing the case;

5. The presiding officer of the case, the participating officials, any enmity with the criminal, in-laws, or other circumstances that should evade the case, but are not evaded.

6. Other behavioral facts that violate the "Laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty".

When this law was promulgated, the Ministry of Punishment was shocked. Compared to such a detailed judicial explanation, the Ministry of Punishment felt like scum!

However, the case of Grandma Li’s son Li Shou did not have any of the above circumstances and did not meet the necessary conditions for a statutory retrial.
