Two hours ago, Qin Huaidao had Zhou Yi arrested, and an hour ago the grain merchant and three shopkeepers involved in the case were killed. It can be seen that someone decisively threw away his car to protect the commander, and killed people to silence them. The methods were similar, and it was really possible that they were the same person.
However, the clues to the death were revealed and the case could no longer be investigated.
Qin Huaidao asked with some luck: "Have you found any account books or other evidence?"
Yuchi Baolin shook his head with a depressed look on his face. He originally thought he could have a big fight, but others silenced him in advance.
"Master Fang." Qin Huaidao waved his hand and signaled the palace guards to leave and then asked unwillingly: "It happened too fast. The people behind it were already prepared. It is estimated that there will be no clues. What's going on over there?"
"A few people were arrested, and the other party also recruited them truthfully. They said they were selling old grain as usual to make room for new grain. The procedures were in compliance. All the evidence and confessions were only given to the head of the warehouse. The other party has confessed and said everything was wrong.
It's a personal behavior and has nothing to do with Master Cui Ren, and Master Cui Ren doesn't care about Cangbe," Fang Xuanling explained.
Qin Huaidao sneered: "It seems that the water is deeper than imagined. Some people are responsible for approval, others are responsible for releasing food, and gangs are committing crimes."
"It's hard to do without evidence. Selling new rice as old rice at a low price will at most cut off the head of the head of the warehouse. The other party knows that he will not survive, has accepted his fate, and is unwilling to confess others. Even if he does, he can't be convicted without physical evidence. Moreover,
Many ministers in the court went to see the Holy One and requested a joint trial by the three departments for a fair and thorough investigation. The reason was very reasonable. The Holy One was in a dilemma. Even if there was evidence that they really rebelled, there was no proof and the case could not be finalized. Moreover, there was no direct evidence to prove the rebellion.
It can be submitted to the three departments for review."
"What a plan!" Qin Huaidao sneered. The joint trial of the three departments means fairness and openness. At most, the head of the warehouse will be found guilty. The head of the warehouse has already pleaded guilty. It doesn't matter whether he is tried or not. If the grain merchant and the shopkeeper responsible for pulling the goods are dead, there will be no evidence.
, there is no way to continue the investigation unless the murderer is found.
But this is impossible. The remaining two murderers may have been silenced or are hiding.
In other words, the joint trial of the three departments is beneficial to the murderer, or it is a conspiracy. No one can stop it. To stop it means injustice, frame-up, and violation of the court's laws. The people behind it only need a little guidance, and public opinion will be in an uproar.
The consequences are more serious.
Fang Xuanling also said with a gloomy face: "It's a step too late. This is the only way. The ruthlessness of the people behind the scenes cannot be underestimated. My nephew must be careful in the future. The saint asked the prince to spread the word, and the future will be long."
"What should we do now?" Qin Huaidao asked unwillingly.
"First hand it over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and seize the grain. I will arrange for someone to take over and sell it according to your method. The rest will be decided after the review results come out, so as not to prove the truth. There are already many people watching the Supervisory Office, waiting for you to make a mistake. Don't be impulsive.
"Fang Xuanling reminded seriously.
At this moment, Qin Huaidao somewhat understood why Li Er had to endure it. Invisibly, there was a big net covering Chang'an and the court, binding people. The slightest movement, the big net began to shrink.
"My lords, the murderer of Shen Sanshi told me before she died that she just wanted to live. Why is God so unfair? He also asked me to kill all the family members and give the people of the world a way to survive. But for a murderer to say such words, it is really a big deal.
It's ironic, hehe -" Qin Huaidao said and suddenly laughed, showing an endless chill.
The next moment, Qin Huaidao turned around and left, his back looking unyielding, unyielding, and disdainful.
"Hurry and watch him. Don't cause anything to happen. Take all your people back and let the Criminal Department take over." Fang Xuanling looked at Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin.
The two of them also felt that something was wrong with Qin Huaidao's condition and hurriedly caught up with him.
"He is a good boy, but unfortunately, he is a bit stubborn." Li Jing looked at Qin Huaidao's back and said.
"Yes, it's fair - didn't we get together for this reason back then? But after so many years, many people have changed as they go. It's rare for this kid to have such an idea. We old guys have to protect us, here.
I'll leave it to you." Fang Xuanling said.
"Don't worry, the Ministry of Punishment is not what it used to be. Speaking of which, I have to thank him." Li Jing smiled, feeling a little bitter.
"I have to go to the Holy Master. I'm afraid he can't handle it alone." Fang Xuanling said and left in a hurry.
…
Supervisory Office.
After Qin Huaidao came back, he locked himself in a room and saw no one and didn't listen to anything.
Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin looked anxious, but they didn't dare to break in, so they simply waited at the door.
Time passes minute by minute.
There was no movement in the room, it was eerily quiet.
One hour passed, two hours passed...
Until dusk, Luo Zhang came in a hurry and was a little surprised to see the two sitting at the door, and asked: "What are you two doing?"
"Don't pay attention to us, worry about it." Cheng Chumo waved his hand.
"Where is my uncle? I have something urgent to do with him." Luo Zhang asked curiously.
"He's inside, but he's more annoying. It's not a big deal, so it's best not to bother him." Cheng Chumo said.
"The problem is a big deal." Luo Zhang was a little anxious.
"Crunch——"
The door opened from the inside, and Qin Huaidao came out and asked, "What's the matter?"
Luo Zhang looked at Qin Huaidao and his face changed drastically: "Uncle, are you okay?"
Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin also stood up. They were startled when they saw Qin Huaidao's eyes were red and his face was haggard, as if he was just recovering from a serious illness. Cheng Chumo said, "Brother, it's not a big deal, don't get upset."
"That's right, if we find clues later, we will fight back. Victory or defeat is a common thing in military affairs. One failure is nothing. We are not angry." Yuchi Baolin also agreed.
Qin Huaidao felt warm in his heart and looked at Luo Zhang without explaining much.
Luo Zhang quickly said: "Uncle, I received news that the prince's cavalry arrived in Tongguan County half an hour ago, lives in the county seat, and will come to our place tomorrow to pull coal."
"Is he trying to rob me by force?" Cheng Chumo's expression changed.
Yuchi Baolin also looked shocked: "Aren't you afraid of being impeached if you do this?"
Qin Huaidao's face was calm, but there was a bit of chill in his eyes, and he sneered: "He will buy it in the name of burning the stove. If he doesn't give it, it will prevent him from burning the stove, and the stove will be given to the people in the future, and I will fall."
A crime of disregarding the life and death of the people and obstructing the court's disaster relief."
"How could he be like this?" Cheng Chumo was shocked and asked: "How about I go back and tell the old man at home and let him come forward to solve it?"
"That's right, I'm going back too. We can't be bullied anymore, and the prince must be reasonable." Yuchi Baolin also said, feeling a little excited.
When Qin Huaidao saw that the two of them were about to leave, he was moved and shouted: "Brothers, don't worry yet."
"Why are you not in a hurry when you are already being bullied?" Cheng Chumo shouted.
"I can handle small things, so don't disturb the elders." Qin Huaidao explained and looked at Luo Zhang: "Leave the mountain guard team to Luo Ying and continue with the convoy tomorrow. Don't relax. You take a few people and rush back overnight. Tomorrow the prince
If someone wants to pull coal, you can pull it for them, but you have to pay. Just like King Wei, one tael of silver per cart, no matter what, you can also help him pull it, but you have to wait until five days later, and the price is the same. If you don't agree, just
