As expected, Yan Langzhong could not obtain Zhang Gouzi's confession that day, so he could only take him into custody first, and at the same time report the case, and ask the Criminal Department to move Wen Jinyiwei and remove Zhang Gouzi from his official position, so that he could be severely interrogated again, but he knew that with Ji Gang's temper that the tiger's ass could not touch, the matter was quite slim. otbnkotgt In fact, with the evidence in his hand, without Zhang Gouzi's confession, it is not impossible to forcibly convict him, but Yan Langzhong thought about it again and again, knowing that this matter must not be over, if Jinyiwei wants to insert a bar, this is undoubtedly to give people a handle, and it cannot be done Yan Langzhong guessed correctly, the news that Zhang Gouzi was imprisoned by the Criminal Department soon reached the ears of Li Chun, the deputy director of the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, Li Chun's reaction was very strong, and he immediately unceremoniously wrote to the Criminal Department, strongly demanding that the person be released, and at the same time, the Fusi of Beizhen also filed a case for investigation, collected evidence on a large scale, and prepared for the rescue of Zhang Gouzi.
Here, Liu Guan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, had just finished reading Yan Langzhong's recital and was in a hurry.
This case was originally ordered by him to be reviewed by Yan Langzhong, but at that time, Liu Shangshu did not expect that this case would involve officials of Jinyiwei, which made the problem tricky.
Although Liu Shangshu is a country's great constitution, but Jinyiwei is a place outside the law, and the officials of Jinyiwei are all eagle dogs raised by the emperor, if there is no conclusive evidence, the foreign ministers will violate the emperor's taboo, especially Ji Gang's fierce flames and Tianwang Laozi are not in his eyes, Liu Shangshu really doesn't want to conflict with him.
But the dignity of a country's constitution cannot be desecrated, Liu Shangshu still meticulously reviewed the relevant files, after reading it, he was very dissatisfied with the results of the preliminary trial, Yang Zhixian is a clean and famous minister, and it is good to do learning, but if you want to judge the case, it is really a hemp rope to mention tofu, and the closing statement cannot resist scrutiny at all.
On the other hand, Yan Langzhong's capable criminal name, with detailed evidence and strict logic, overturned the untruths of the first trial, and used ironclad evidence to make the dog speechless.
Although the evidence such as the bloody clothes has been annihilated due to the passage of time, the murder weapon that was fished out of the lake alone can convict the dog.
The fly in the ointment is the lack of eyewitnesses, and the murderer refuses to confess, which makes this case not ironclad Whether to agree to Yan Langzhong's request, Xingwen Jinyiwei asked to remove Zhang Gouzi from his official position, and the torture instruments in the lobby were prepared for this kind of stubborn people Liu Shangshu was hesitating whether to write Jin Yiwei, and Jin Yiwei's writing came first, and the wording was very unceremonious to ask for the release of Zhang Gouzi, and give an explanation and apologize.
"Ridiculous" Liu Shangshu is a dignified second-grade Zhengqing, but he was treated so unceremoniously by a small five-grade military attaché, how can he not be angry, not to mention that the Criminal Department is the Imperial Court Law Division, how can he be ordered by the Beizhen Fu Division to be like that, and the Criminal Department will not become a subordinate of the Zhenfu Division The dignity of the official of the second grade hall made Liu Shangshu categorically refuse the request of the Fusi of Beizhen, but he did not ask for the removal of Zhang Gouzi's official position, so it would become a singing play, and it was not too sad to deal with it as low-key as possible.
Liu Shangshu originally planned to talk about this matter when he saw Ji Gang earlier, but he felt that it was just a small flag, and Ji Gang would still give this face.
Who knew that Li Chun had already sued Ji Gang first, he described Qi Dazhu's murder as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and said that Zhang Gouzi's murder was unwarranted, and insisted that the people in the Criminal Department had to charge Zhang Gouzi as a murderer in order to show their ability, and said that what happened to Jinyiwei, it was Jinyiwei who did it At that time, Ji Gang was disgraced because of Zhou Xin's case, and he felt very annoyed when he heard this, but after Zhuang Jingyi's analysis, he felt that God really helped me.
At the beginning of Zhou Xin's case, he told the emperor that it was the civil officials who were targeting Jinyiwei, and now Zhang Gouzi's case, although it is far from being as high as Zhou Xin's case, can be consistent and make the emperor believe his own statement.
As soon as he thought of this, Ji Gang made up his mind to make a fuss about this case, and when Liu Shangshu came to him to talk about this matter, Ji Gang's attitude can be imagined.
He asked Liu Shangshu rhetorically, can he give himself a face and let go of a dog Liu Shangshu said that seeing that Ji Gang was always-for-tat, he was also angry, and the two quarreled in front of the noon gate, which also alarmed the emperor.
Zhu Di asked the two ministers to be called to the front of the palace, reprimanded them first, and then asked them why they were arguing The two of them each held their own words and told the case twice, one insisted that Qi Dazhu was the murderer, and the Criminal Department wronged the Jinyi Wei officials; One insisted that Qi Dazhu was innocent, and Zhang Gouzi was the real suspect, and the two almost quarreled again in front of the emperor.
At least at this time, Zhu Di's trust in Jinyiwei is much greater than his trust in the Criminal Department, but what Liu Guan said is also very reasonable.
It was not easy for the emperor to pull the bias, so he had to pull out the new right capital Yushi Wang Zhang, who was watching the play on the sidelines, and ordered him to try the case impartially.
Wang Zhang, who was also shot while lying down, was depressed, so he had to cry and receive the order with a sad face Since Chen Ying was sentenced four years ago, the general constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been vacant, and after Chen Ying was ambushed, he accompanied the emperor on a northern tour at the beginning of the year, and only then did he become the imperial history of the right capital, and he is the current supreme governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
He presided over the case, which immediately caused a sensation in the capital, and also made Wang Zhang feel the pressure on his shoulders.
On one side is the old man Liu Guan and the court law department, and on the other side is the fellow villager Ji Gang and his Jinyiwei, and Wang Zhang on both sides does not want to offend.
Liu Guan and he have been in the same law department for more than ten years, and they have the same temperament with each other, which can be described as irreversible.
Moreover, Wang Zhang believed in Liu Guan's integrity and ability, and knew that as long as the case was handled impartially, this lawsuit would definitely be won by the Criminal Department, but that would offend Ji Gang.
Although Ji Gang is fierce, he misses his fellow villagers very much, both of them are from Shandong, and the relationship has always been good, and even Wang Zhang's ability to become the right capital of the imperial history also has the factor of Ji Gang's contribution in it, so Wang Zhang doesn't want to be sorry for Ji Gang.
But he racked his brains, and he couldn't find the best of both worlds, because if he wanted this lawsuit, he had to kill someone, either killing Qi Dazhu or killing Zhang Gouzi, it was impossible to let both go, this either/or choice had no possibility of being offended.
And at the same time, he can't live up to the emperor's trust, Wang Zhang is not, but has some trouble with the prince, he is one of Zhu Di's most favored ministers, last year's 80th birthday of his mother, the emperor gave him leave to return to the province, and also rewarded the mother with gold coins, and after returning to Beijing, he rotated into the right capital imperial history.
It is Wang Zhang's gratitude to the emperor, and he must not be sorry for the emperor.
After thinking about it, Wang Zhang decided to treat the monarch with sincerity and handle the case impartially.
After a rigorous interrogation, he made the decision to uphold the original sentence of the Criminal Department, he thought that he had a clear conscience, and the emperor would not be harsh, who knew that Zhu Di was furious, and ordered him to temporarily dismiss the post of the imperial history, and went home to listen to the king of Shen, Zhangru was hit by five thunders, but his face was solemn, and he slowly took off the black yarn on his head, kowtowed to the emperor, and withdrew from the Yitian Palace.
Why is Zhu Di so angry, it turned out that Ji Gang saw that Wang Zhang's side had not moved for a long time, so he knew that this nerd was going to be bad, and he took the first step to cry in front of Zhu Di, saying that the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate had long been dissatisfied with the Beizhen Fusi for usurping their power, and this time they must unite and want to use this matter to overwhelm the Zhenfu Division and take back the judicial power.
These words obviously hit Zhu Di's taboo, he established the Beizhen Fusi in order to seize judicial power from the minister, and of course no one is allowed to challenge his authority So as soon as he saw that Wang Zhang's recital really upheld the original sentence of the Criminal Department, Zhu Di remembered what Ji Gang said that the Criminal Department Procuratorate wore a pair of pants, and he was furious, although Wang Zhang didn't say anything bold about taking power, Zhu Di still buttoned this hat on his head. repelled Wang Zhang, and Zhu Di's anger did not subside.
No matter how wise a person is, there are times when he is confused, and Emperor Yongle has always had a misunderstanding in his thinking, that is, he regards Jinyiwei as his representative and is exercising power for him, the Ming Emperor, so any challenge to Jinyiwei is regarded by the emperor as disrespectful to himself.
Now the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Criminal Department has attacked Jinyiwei one after another, making Zhu Di more and more convinced that the civilian clique is indeed attacking Jinyiwei.
This aroused the emperor's anger against the civil official group, and he ordered the two members of the criminal department to retry the case for Chen Yan and Liu Xiyi, and severely punished them if there was a mistake The Criminal Department only gave the seventh grade in the matter, which was much lower than the second grade Shangshudu's imperial history, but it was an official who specialized in supervising the Criminal Department, and Zhu Di asked them to come to trial, which contained a signal of distrust in the Criminal Department.
However, after interrogating the relevant officials and criminals, the two confirmed that the officials of the Criminal Department did not bend the law for personal gain, and it was obvious that Yan Langzhong's conclusion was more reasonable, and they were more willing to believe the former than Yang Zhixian's flawed conclusion.
They also knew that the emperor wanted their conclusions to be biased in favor of Jinyiwei, but they were all hard-headed ministers in the matter, and the two of them saw that high-ranking officials like Wang Zhang could handle the case impartially, so naturally they would not let the boss be beautiful.
As for the emperor's severe punishment, they didn't pay attention to it at all.
Moreover, they also went further, severely criticized Jinyiwei's interference in justice and shielding criminals, and demanded that the emperor limit the power of the Beizhen Fusi and maintain the authority of the Three Law Divisions This can completely confirm Ji Gang's accusation, Zhu Di was furious, he has completely believed that this is a war between civil officials and Jinyiwei, and it is Xiang Zhuang dancing the sword, intending to Pei Gong, he Zhu Di is that Pei Gong "Okay, okay, let's all jump out, only when you pop out can you show your original form" Zhu Di laughed angrily: "Continue to let them investigate, the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Criminal Department will all come up, as well as Dali Temple" and ordered Dali Temple Qing Hu to continue to try the case.
As soon as the appointment was in an uproar in the world, the emperor successively denied the conclusion of the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Criminal Department within ten days, and now it is the turn of Dali Temple The government and the opposition are waiting to see what kind of answer Dali Siqing will give
