Chapter 40: He Jingzhong

Yu Wang had been in a good mood these past few days. After sending Grey Harrier to find out that several of his most important subordinates were not involved in the case of a dead corpse, he prepared for the Prince's anxious drama.
Hushang Shangshulou ’s respect for the year is very powerful, and every year he does n’t know how much silver he ’s rolled into the crown prince. He ’s a cornucopia that the crown prince loves. Now he sees that this cornucopia is about to be smashed. Happy to wake up, how many times have secretly mocked the prince.
What he did not expect was that everyone who laughed laughed constantly, and the same trouble soon came to him. Although the situation was not so serious, it was enough to make him head like a fight, and he was no longer in a mood to laugh. .
"His Royal Highness! Highness! Please three generations of my family ... only this single seedling ..." The official in purple clothes kneeling in tears in the flower hall of Yuwang Mansion is Jing Jing He Jingzhong, and his son He Wenxin beat him to death. Although Qiu Zhengping, the son of the Earl of Yuan, successfully escaped to his home under the guard of the slaves, he escaped from the first day and could not escape the fifteenth.
He Jingzhong originally relied on his position as a first-rank and noble official, insisting on being behind closed doors, who knew that the small eight-ranking arrester of Jingzhao House was actually a personal thing. And read aloud: "He Wenxin was ordered to apprehend the murderer. The criminal murdered and absconded in the Yanglioxin brothel last night. Please open the door!" Just like this again and again, when you get tired, change to another person to continue. The more I came, I was afraid that people who would read half of the Jinling City would come over and watch the excitement. I would n’t say ugliness. I was afraid to alarm Yu Shi. He Jingzhong could only serve temporarily and hand over his crying and shouting son. At the same time, a few harsh words were put down to suppress those who took people, and then they hurried to the Yuwang Mansion to plead.
The incident happened on Luoshi Street. Most of the manpower and spies Qin Banruo used to listen to the news of all parties were there. Of course, the murder case was quickly found out and quietly returned to Yu Wang.
As soon as I heard that it was a person who was killed under the eyes of all eyes, it was a current criminal who had too much evidence but too little evidence. Xiao Jinghuan couldn't help but also struggle. He frowned a few steps indoors, and said nothing with a calm face.
"His Royal Highness," He Jingzhong saw the uncle's look unclear, and he was more anxious in his heart, and he also wiped a tear. "The humble office knows that it is impossible to teach its children, and the children do indeed have a big disaster ... But please pray for your highness to pay homage to the humble office. Fifty years old and only one son, besides, his mother spoiled him as desperately, if anything happened, I was afraid that the old lady would not be able to bear ... His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness ... "
Yu Wang coldly glanced at him, and felt very troubled in his heart, but he always used the method of gratitude to his subordinates, not to mention that since He Jingzhong served as the official of the department, he really captured the power of appointment and removal of officials. It was very reliable, and the prince did n’t get in with it. Now I see him crying like this. It ’s really a dead hole for him to think of this broken son. I ’m afraid it ’s wrong to ignore it. A reproachful tone: "You are too negligent.
Gyeonggi, at the foot of the emperor, how can you act so madly? It would be fine if a civilian was killed, the son of the earl was killed, and although he is not in the middle of the court, the shadow of his ancestors is hanging there, and Wen Yuanbo also has the right to perform.
If Ben Wang forcibly took shelter, would there be an unsightly Yu Shi Shen Ben not to mention, Wen Yuanbo himself refused to give up, if you go to the emperor, who can get a good deal with Ben Wang? "
He Jingzhong's head slammed on the ground, crying, "Humble office is also known to be embarrassed, but if it only kills civilians, how dare it come to alarm your highness? It is because the people of Uncle Wenyuan's family were killed, humble office He came to His Royal Highness for help because he knew his strength was weak.
Your Royal Highness, you know that Uncle Wen Yuan has always been timid and afraid of things. If His Highness personally came forward to make peace with him, forgive him not to hurt your face too much ... "
"You said lightly, is this a trivial matter? Yours is a son, but the others are not sons? What do you dare not do when people are angry?" Yu Wang scolded and reassured, "You are now Do n’t mess with Fang Cun first, and do n’t cut it the next day, what ’s the panic?

"The humble office is afraid that Jingzhao Yinfu will finalize the case, so it is not easy to get back ..."
"Jingzhao Yin House?" Yu Wang sneered. "You think Jingzhao Yin House likes to decide your case? Gao Sheng might not have a headache now."
Yu Wang said it well. If Gao Sheng can hear it now, he will definitely shout a friend.
First, a dry well corpse case made the prince highly nervous, and a murder incident involving a brothel involved an empress of the honorary king. If the most troublesome person in the entire imperial city now, there should be no more than the Jingzhao who only has a third-grade title. Fu Yin was promoted.
He Jingzhong wiped his face with his sleeve and calmed down: "The humble job is really messing up.
Your Highness did n’t know that when Jinling sent someone to get someone, they did n’t talk about it at all, so they worried about their low office ... "
"This is what Gao Sheng is superior to." Yu Wang instead expressed an admiring expression, "This case is you, one side is Wen Yuanbo. Obviously it is a case that can be heard by Tian Tian at any time, not to mention the case is clear at a glance without delay. Reason, so you must take talents altogether. If you move slowly for a while, and you send your son away, the responsibility becomes his responsibility. How can Wen Yuanbo explain it? If you sentence your son to death in the future, he does n’t care if he offends you first. If he is not guilty, he will give you a lot of affection. Do you still account for a little less than his home visit? Do n’t think that it ’s easier to be a parent official in Jinling City than to be a clerk in your office.

He Jingzhong was also the most proficient in the art of magic, but he was careless for a while, and his mind was cluttered. As soon as he was mentioned by Yu Wang, he immediately understood that the heart he had hung up because of Gao Sheng ’s unrelenting behavior was only a little settled Some bowed, "Your Highness is like a god, and you are confused."
"Forget it, you don't have to flatter.
No matter how you say, your case is difficult to deal with, and Ben Wang couldn't think of a solution for a while, "Yu Wang turned around to see how he was crying again, and he waved his hand," You go to see Master Ji, discuss it first. The idea came out, this king will see if it is feasible or not. "
He Jingzhong saw that Yu Wang's tone was soft, and his heart was overjoyed, and he thanked busyly. He hurried to the side yard and found Ji Shiye, mentioned by Yu Wang.
Xiao Jinghuan, as a prince who has the strength to compete with the prince, naturally has a lot of think-tank staff. He appointed Ji Shiye because the old gentleman was born in a criminal name. Way to come.
After listening to He Jingzhong's detailed case, Master Ji's two white-browed eyebrows were twisted into a hairball shape, matching his original rumpled face, which looked extraordinarily funny, but now He Jingzhong's mood is really no one half. In his spare time, he paid attention to the face of others, and looked up with his eyes, the tighter the ball of hair tightened, the more flustered his heart was.
After about a cup of tea, Master Ji breathed out a long breath: "The scourge that caused the son to break out is indeed not small ..."
"I know this," He Jingzhong said anxiously. "But even if he had to teach him, he had to wait for this matter to be resolved!"
Master Ji stretched out his hands and stroked the monk's beard, slowly saying, "Only for today's plan, Jing Zhao Yin Yamen must also finalize ..."
"What?" He Jingzhong jumped immediately.
"Sir He, please don't be restless," said Master Ji and stretched out his hand to help. "Listening to old age slowly explained."
He Jingzhong suppressed his emotions and arched his hand, "Master, please speak."
"First of all, although Jingzhao House has jurisdiction over the security of the imperial capital, it is only a local government office. After all, you and Uncle Wen Yuan, he can't offend either.
Although Gao Sheng was not guilty of convicting his son, Gao Sheng was not guilty, and Gao Sheng dared to bear this responsibility independently? If because of his embarrassment, he prolonged the time of the case, the son was the one who suffered.
So first of all, you have to make a step, give Gao Sheng a step down, let him wind up the case first, and do n’t embarrass him to forcefully reverse the case, and let him convict his son of murder. "
"what?!"
"Don't panic, sir, the conclusion of Jingzhao's case is not terrible, but he is afraid that he will settle the iron case.
Master, you gave in a step back, and Gao Sheng will naturally vote for Tao Li. Although the case is judged to be murder, the evidence in the case can be blurred, and there are a few more flaws in the testimony. Murder, he couldn't find out how to write the specific case. In this way, Gao Sheng won your approval on the one hand, and won't offend Wen Yuanbo on the other hand, so he will not refuse. Master Ji showed a sly smile, "Adult, do you think, what should happen to Jingzhao's murder case?"
"Penalty Department ..."
"Good.
He must report to the Penal Department. Master Ji knocked on the table with his finger, and he was very self-satisfied. "This case is in the hands of Jingzhao House and cannot be operated."
He didn't dare, and he couldn't afford it.
But the Criminal Department is different. The powers and responsibilities are much larger, not to mention. The key here is the site of His Royal Highness. Is n’t Qi Shangshu more dedicated than Gao Sheng? "
He Jingzhong, like Mao Zedong's opening, patted his thighs and praised, "Master Ji is really old!"
"Although this case involves big people, after all, only one person died. It was a common criminal case. Even if Qi Shangshu was so determined, he did not specifically specify the reason for bringing the case up, so he could only let Jingzhaofu himself Close the case and report.
If he reported a death case with strong evidence, of course, there is no way to do it, but if the evidence testimony has a negligent file, the criminal department has a good reason to retry by himself. At that time, there will be more room for activity and the son will be transferred But how do you feel less bitter? "
He Jingzhong said gratefully: "Master Yeh has a wonderful plan, so the sergeant went to see His Royal Highness and asked him to give a speech before Qi Shang wrote.
But over there ... "
"You can rest assured that the tall man is now like a headless fly for the case of the dead body in the dry well. It must be eager to throw out this hot iron charcoal round in your house earlier." Master Ji laughed. "His current master is old My old knowledge, why the adults ran for a trip ... "
He Jingzhong hurriedly gave a courtesy: "Master Labor.
If this is successful, the official will surely thank you. "
"It's all for your highness, what's your politeness." Master Ji humbly said a few words, and got up to give away guests.
Because He Jingzhong was the confidant of the honorable king, he did not dare to neglect it. After a little sorting, he ordered people to prepare the Qingbu small sedan and went out to Jingzhao Mansion.
