Chapter 103 Stand firm
As long as you have done it, there are always traces of what you did. Wang Luqiang robbed women and killed people all over the house, and the omissions were not limited to the corpse.In Shan Chang's hand, there are also a few strands of silk thread from his jade pendant tassel and a jade bead, which cannot be denied no matter what.
The evidence is conclusive, Zhong Shao didn't give Wang Lu a chance to continue flirting with King Rui, and directly ordered him to plead guilty.Wang Lu refused, so he was beaten again, until he was bloody and bloody. In the end, he had to draw a bet, and was sentenced to be executed after the autumn—it is autumn now, if it is fine after the reexamination By mistake, Wang Lu was only a few days away from Wenqiu.
Looking at the blood-stained confession, Zhong Shao couldn't help sighing, with a bit of worry on his brows.Although she knew that Wang Lu had not been wronged in this case, she still had some lingering fears about using torture so often, almost typing out the confession with a board.
After leaving the hall, Wang Lu was detained again, and everyone in the hall gradually dispersed, leaving only Zhong Shao and Cui Pingshi behind.
Seeing that Cui Pingshi still stayed and did not leave, Zhong Shao couldn't help asking: "Is Master Cui still busy?"
Cui Pingshi didn't play tricks, he just asked, "Your Excellency, are you avoiding King Rui?"
From the moment she took this case, Zhong Shao was only worried about King Rui. Although she never said it clearly, what she did today has already revealed some traces.Zhong Shao naturally knew that Cui Pingshi had seen the clues. Thinking of the friendship that the other party gave her all these days, she didn't hide anything, so she nodded and said: "King Rui is powerful, and we will deal with the affairs of the vassal king." I have no will and no right to judge, I want to submit the evidence directly to heaven.”
Cui Pingshi took a deep look at Zhong Shao when he heard the words, and he didn't speak for a long while, making Zhong Shao feel uncomfortable. Lord Siqing, take a look."
Seeing that he didn't blame him, Zhong Shao was inexplicably relieved, and hurriedly replied: "It's only natural."
In the next few days, Zhong Shao didn't interrogate anyone, and didn't go out again. He spent the whole day in the number room sorting out the evidence, writing the dossier and so on.But she did nothing, but the case was still spread, and the rumors were more or less related to King Rui.
Zhong Shao didn't know if the rumor was that the crown prince had acted, or if Wang Lu's words were spread by the people in the hall that day, or if the people in the capital knew about King Rui's greedy and lustful nature.However, things like rumors and rumors are always unstoppable, and may even become more and more turbulent like a flood, so I had to ignore them and just deal with all the materials as soon as possible.
Three days later, according to Cui Pingshi's words, Zhong Shao took all the confessions, evidence, and files to the Minister of Dali Temple for review.The testimony about King Rui is naturally included, but it is placed separately, and the meaning is obvious.
Si Qing lord looked through it carefully, then simply collected everything, and said: "Good job. Keep these. I will have someone transcribe the file, and then I can file and close the case."
When Zhong Shao saw that Dali Temple Minister had taken away the testimony about King Rui, he raised his hand slightly, hesitant to speak.
Dali Siqing naturally saw Zhong Shao's movements, he slightly raised his eyes to look at Zhong Shao, and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Seeing Lord Siqing's serious face, Zhong Shao felt a little speechless, but after hesitating for a while, she carefully glanced at the pile of evidence and said, "My lord, King Rui..."
Dali Siqing raised a hand to press on the stack of evidence, but this time he didn't even raise his eyelids: "This case has been judged, but it has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to worry about the next thing. "
Hearing this, Zhong Shao suddenly felt dizzy.It turned out that Cui Pingshi asked her to send the evidence to the Minister of Dali Temple for review. Did he know that this would happen? !But things are not as easy as Sir Siqing said?The person she arrested, the case she tried, now involves King Rui. With Si Qing's upright temper, if something really happened, how could King Rui not hate her? !
Zhong Shao wanted to cry but didn't dare to leave like this, she waited for Ai Ai and said: "My lord, it's about the prince, our Dali Temple has no purpose and no right to judge, shouldn't this matter be heard by heaven?"
Dali Siqing naturally could guess Zhong Shao's concerns, he gave Zhong Shao a funny look, but did not respond to her words, he just said with a straight face: "Okay, I have said it, the case is over It is about to be archived, and has nothing to do with you. Even if the matter of King Rui is to be submitted to heaven, it should also be submitted by Dali Temple, so what does it have to do with your little temple?"
Zhong Shao was choked speechless, and only then did he realize how naive he was in thinking of entrusting Concubine Yu to submit the submission privately.She glanced at the evidence held by Dali Siqing with her raised hand, and then looked at the more serious and majestic face of Siqing, before she could say anything else, she was kicked out by Siqing directly with her hands empty .
************************************************** *********
After all the testimonies were taken away by the Dali Temple Minister, Zhong Shao was really worried for several days. Every day when he went to the court, he was afraid that the Minister of the Temple would be outright, so he took out those testimonies in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and then threw them away. Rui Wang face.
Fortunately, after several days in succession, this kind of thing did not happen, but King Rui's expression was not very good every time he saw her, and Wang Shilang's eyes were cold when he saw her - this is natural, Wang Lu is Zhong Zhong after all. It is normal for Shao to send someone to arrest and convict her, and it depends on the extent of the offense. As long as it is not too much, because of the backing behind her, King Rui and the others will not do anything to her.
Two days later, Concubine Yu Gui sent the news from the palace, saying that King Rui had been reprimanded by Emperor Taiping.However, it was only reprimanded in private, without making a fuss, and it could be regarded as saving face for King Rui.
It seems that Dali Siqing can sit firmly in the position of Siqing, in addition to being upright, he also acts with some measure.There was nothing wrong with the reexamination and review of the case afterwards, and the date of Wang Lu's execution was quickly fixed, and it seemed that this matter passed away.
In a blink of an eye, autumn is getting stronger, thin autumn clothes can no longer stop the cold north wind, many people have changed into thick winter clothes.
After that case, Zhong Shao had gained a firm foothold in Dali Temple, but his life was no different from before.Due to the calmness of the court recently, there are really not many cases that really need to be heard by Dali Temple, but it is the end of the year, and there are many cases sent by various state governments for review, so even Zhong Shao, who is the loser, has to deal with the temple officials all day long. Various dossiers dealt with each other.
This day coincides with the end of the month, and the next day is rest. Everyone in Dali Temple has received a new salary.
Speaking of which, it has been more than three months since Zhong Shao was transferred to Dali Temple, and it was the first time she heard of a small gathering in Dali Temple. She was a little surprised when she first heard about it, so she asked the director who came to notify: "Is there any small gathering in Dali Temple? Why haven't you heard of it before?!"
Zhong Shao has always thought that these people in Dali Temple are selfless, cold-blooded, and there is no such thing as a small gathering to exchange feelings!
Hearing her question, the master secretary had a flash of embarrassment on his face, but he said: "My lord, you can go with me after you leave the Yamen. In addition to Sir Siqing, the two young ministers and another Sir Sizheng also They will all go." After a short pause, he continued: "The small gatherings in our Dali Temple are usually at the end of the month, only once a month, and we usually don't get together."
After saying this, the master secretary hurriedly withdrew and left, as if he was afraid that Zhong Shao would ask any more questions.
Zhong Shao was stunned for a moment before realizing that there was also a small gathering in the past three months, but the people in Dali Temple hadn't accepted her yet, so no one would even tell her about such insignificant gatherings.
So they accepted her now?But she couldn't be happy at all, she just felt mixed feelings in her heart.
However, the mood is complicated and complex, and Zhong Shao can't help but go to this kind of gathering between colleagues to connect with each other.After the master secretary left, she asked Xiao Shan to go back to the mansion to say something, and when he got to Xiaya, Zhong Shao followed the group of people from Dali Temple to Zui Moxuan directly.
This is the first time for Zhong Shao to have a small gathering with everyone. In her impression, the people in Dali Temple are cold, rigorous and rigid.They tried the case, they reviewed the file, a word, a comment, may decide a person's life or death.Therefore, the atmosphere in Dali Temple is usually serious, no one is seen joking, let alone frolicking, everyone is serious.
However, today Zhong Shao followed the crowd to Zuimoxuan and discovered that the officials of Dali Temple are also human beings, they can actually joke and play tricks on others.As the youngest rookie, Zhong Shao was naturally the object of everyone's jokes.
Zhong Shao didn't care about jokes, because she could tell that those who made fun of her had no malicious intentions, but she couldn't stand someone who came over to drink her wine with a wine glass.She was just about to refuse, but unexpectedly someone helped her and said first: "Okay, okay, don't pass the wine to Xiao Zhong, she can't drink alcohol, she will get alcohol rash."
Hearing this, Zhong Shao was taken aback for a moment, she turned her head to look, but saw that it was Qin Feng, one of the two young ministers, who spoke.
Qin Shaoqing was over forty years old, with a white face and a slight beard, elegant appearance, full of momentum when he opened his face coldly, and easy to approach when his expression was relaxed.But that's not the point, the point is that Zhong Shao didn't have much contact with this Qin Shaoqing at all, let alone told anyone in Dali Temple that she would get alcohol rash when drinking!
Everyone listened to Qin Shaoqing's words and didn't force it anymore. Seeing Zhong Shao looking at Qin Shaoqing in surprise, everyone just laughed and said nothing.In the end, it was Cui Pingshi, who was closest to her, who solved her confusion: "Your Excellency Shaoqing is the most well-informed, and you can't hide the big and small things in Beijing from your eyes and ears, and of course you won't know such trivial things as adults can't drink alcohol." exception."
After hearing Cui Pingshi's words, Zhong Shao was stunned. It turned out that she had already been investigated by Qin Shaoqing once when she first entered Dali Temple.
I couldn't tell what it was like for a while, but fortunately, the real secret couldn't be found through such an ordinary investigation.And after this small gathering, Zhong Shao didn't care about being found out about alcohol rash by Qin Shaoqing for a long time, she cared more about a sentence Qin Shaoqing said to her intentionally or unintentionally - King Rui was short-sighted and narrow-minded!
