Jing Zhaoyin hurriedly sorted out the official uniform and entered the palace.

  The inner servant led Jing Zhaoyin directly to the apse of the Qinzheng Palace. Now the Qinzheng Palace is used by the prince. Since the emperor expressed his recuperation and handed over the power to the prince, he seldom asked about political affairs.

   Although the crown prince has not yet ascended the throne, he is already the actual ruler of Great Chu.

   Jing Zhaoyin entered the apse and saw the prince sitting under the tree. He was playing chess with his eyebrows pinched and Gu Jingyun sitting opposite.

  The first thing Jing Zhaoyin thought of was the fight with Gu Jingyun yesterday. He breathed a sigh of relief. It was not a big matter. Before the murder of the Huang family, this matter was really easy to handle.

   He stepped forward, bowed and saluted, "Wei Chen has seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

  The prince put down his chess pieces, stretched out his hand and said, "Yu Qing excuses the ceremony."

  The prince glanced at the teacher, then turned to the servant and said, "Show Master Yu a seat."

  Although the monarchy is now more centralized than before, the ministers are loyal to the monarch, and the monarch also respects the ministers, so they will not despise the ministers like the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

   Jing Zhaoyin bowed his hands calmly and sat down. The prince smiled at him and said, "I invited Yu Qing to come because of the murder of the Huang family."

   Jing Zhaoyin was stunned for a moment, then sighed, he did not expect the prince to ask about this. However, this murder case is indeed tortuous and involves a lot, so it makes sense that the prince would intervene.

   Sure enough, the prince said solemnly, "This case involves a wide range and has a very bad impact. There are still cases in it. Is Yu Qing confident to find out?"

   "There is solid evidence for the murder of Liu Huang's family, but it is necessary to find evidence for Lan Liu's murder of Liu Shuo, but after five years, it is uncertain how much evidence will be left, and there are still people secretly obstructing..."

The prince said solemnly: "Do your best to investigate. If anyone dares to obstruct your investigation, the official should hand over the list to Dali Temple and the Censor's Desk, and the rest must follow the law. The matter of the Huang family is not like this. , all because the clan has repeatedly been above the law, and there are officials to protect it, and this has evolved into this."

  According to the law, Huang's repentance of marriage, if the man is unwilling, he can sue the other party and insist on the marriage. Because the two families were already engaged at that time, and even the betrothal gifts were given. If it weren't for the Huang family's clan pressure, the marriage would not be able to withdraw.

   And the murder case of Liu Shuo is even worse. The Liu family, the Huang family and the Lan family can suppress a murder case, so that Mrs. Liu knew the truth but did not dare to tell the yamen.

  If the yamen can give her the justice she wants, she will still poison Lan Liu like a fish and a net, and will she kill Master Huang as if they are dead?

   In the final analysis, is it because there is power to affect judicial justice, Jing Zhaoyin is still fair, and the capital under his management is like this, what about other places?

  What kind of tragedy would it be if the officials who tried the case were all complicit?

   "Just take this case as a breakthrough and face up to the justice of justice. Yu Qing, Gu wants the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple to form an inspection team to inspect wrongful and wrongful cases across the country. Let's see who will reach out in this case."

   Jing Zhaoyin's pupils shrank, and he glanced at Gu Jingyun, who was so calm, still fighting each other with his left and right hands, and mourned a moment of silence for the people outside.

   He stood up and saluted: "Wei minister leads the order, rest assured, Your Highness, this minister will definitely handle this case impartially."

  The prince nodded in satisfaction, Gu Jingyun raised his mouth slightly, and dropped a piece on the chessboard, "Then Master Yu must move faster, otherwise the evidence should be wiped out."

Jing Zhaoyin couldn't sit still when he heard the words. The three families of Liu Lan and Huang were able to invite so many people. Obviously, they wanted to cover up the Lan Liu family to the end. After all, this is a scandal. No more.

   In the end, Mrs. Liu may have misunderstood, or even a misunderstanding after being provoked by someone with a heart.

  Jing Zhaoyin immediately got up and said goodbye, "Your Highness, Wei Chen has retired first. There are still many doubts in Lan Liu's case, and this minister should go and see for himself."

  The prince nodded and said, "Yu Qing, let's go."

  Jing Zhaoyin hurried out, only to realize that something was wrong when he was halfway through. He slowly stopped and raised his eyebrows in thought.

   He had expected that the three families would destroy the evidence and help with the finishing touches, so he had sent people to the Liu family for inquiries and detained the Lan Liu family. Even if he went in person, he couldn't have done better, faster, so why on earth was he in such a hurry to go?

   He slapped his head fiercely. Gu Jingyun reminded him that he was not asking him to search for evidence quickly. Five years have passed, where is there any physical evidence?

   All he can rely on is witness.

   And witnesses, does he know who is who?

   Five years have passed, how many people have changed around the Lan Liu family, and how many people know about it. He has no idea. On the contrary, the Liu family can know.

   So he didn't have to bother to check at all, he just kept an eye on the three families of Liu Lan and Huang, especially the Liu family and the Lan family, to see who they dealt with and what they dealt with and then cut them out later.

   Moreover, in addition to their own family, there are also An Qingshu, Liu Ziyang and Guan Yi as witnesses. When Wei Wei confessed that they were all present.

   Jing Zhaoyin's eyes lit up and he hurried out of the palace. First, he asked his confidants to divide into two groups, and continued to search for evidence along the way. Along the way, he kept an eye on the three families to see which servant they dealt with.

   He himself took people to visit the Anjia and other three families and asked them to testify in court.

At this time, the prince was staring at the chessboard with a face that was deeply beaten. Originally, he was about to die, and he had already given up his plan of resisting to kill himself. As a result, the gentlemen fought each other and not only made him alive, but also Let him have the upper hand, but he said that he was not happy at all when he saw the chess path.

  Because he didn't know how to play at all, he felt that it was an insult to the game for him to play at this time, so he could only stare at Gu Jingyun.

  Gu Jingyun lowered his head to study the chessboard, ignoring him, he could only sigh, and changed the subject: "Who do you think is suitable to be the first patrol officer?"

   There are only six grades of patrols scheduled, but on behalf of the emperor, officials from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple form the chief and deputy patrols, one person to try the case, and the other to investigate.

   Gu Jingyun thought for a while and said, "What do you think of Wei Cong?"

  The prince was drinking tea from a teacup. Hearing the words, he spit out a sip of tea. He didn’t care about his appearance.

"Wei Cong is smart, and he is particularly familiar with the criminal law. Isn't he in the Ministry of Criminal Justice now? It also happens to be from the sixth rank and then to the half rank to be the patrolman. Isn't it normal? Then I will be assigned an old man but a gentleman from Dali Temple. The deputy patrol will just press him."

   "Yes, but he's a Wei lunatic!" The prince couldn't help stammering.

   Gu Jingyun raised his lips lightly, "That's why he is the most suitable."

  Prince bowed his head and thought for a while before nodding and admitting, "Okay, he is indeed suitable, but I don't think many officials would welcome him."

   "The position of patrolling is not popular with officials, so what's the harm if you welcome it or not?"

Wei Cong has experienced many things, he has been a genius, he has also been a playboy, and he even pretended to be mad and foolish. For the past ten years when he was disheartened and unwilling to participate in the imperial examinations, he spent his days relying on various miscellaneous books, especially Love to read the Torah.

After the death of the late emperor, he was recalled from the mine by the new emperor. Originally, he wanted to send him to the Hanlin Academy to study, but he did not like it. The emperor was also afraid that he would get angry with the scholars in the Hanlin Academy. Because of his hobby, he was assigned to the Ministry of Punishment.

   In the past three years, he has been doing well in it, at least he has risen from the seventh rank to the sixth rank, and the speed is quite fast.

   Attaching importance to judicial justice and preventing forces from interfering in the trial was proposed by Gu Jingyun, and he also proposed the establishment of the patrol press, so of course he must think about the candidate for the first patrol press.

   After thinking about it, no one is more suitable than Wei Cong.

   He is indeed a lunatic, a lunatic who does not show favoritism towards his own family. He is not afraid of other powers, he is proficient in criminal law, and he is also smart and alert. The only shortcoming is that he lacks interrogation experience.

   So he needs a sleek, seasoned off-hand to match him.

  Although he originally intended to give Mrs. Liu a gift, but since he had already touched the judicial malpractice, he felt uncomfortable not bringing it up.

   Doesn't everyone think that they can intervene in justice, destroy evidence, and decide cases, then he will give them a gift, which is to exercise their ability to clean up.

  No one except Jing Zhaoyin knew that Gu Jingyun also intervened in the Huang family's murder. The only ones who could guess, Mr. Liu and Mr. Lan, didn't think about it.

  In their opinion, Gu Jingyun and Mrs. Liu have no relationship and no reason, how could they help Mrs. Liu?

   So after they made repeated shots but were always stopped, their first thought was that their business rivals were helping Mrs. Liu and using her to beat them.

   Mr. Liu couldn't sit still any longer, and went to see Mrs. Liu in the prison in person, hoping that she would proceed from the overall situation, think of the whole family, and not do stupid things that make relatives feel bad for their enemies.

   Mrs. Liu burst out laughing and asked him, "Who is my relative and who is my enemy in Liu Lanhuang's family now?"

  Master Liu was silent when he heard the words.

   Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "You're right. I really can't let my relatives hurt my enemies. Don't worry, I will let Brother Shuo feel at ease and let none of our enemies end well."

   "Wu Niang!" Master Liu looked at her sadly and said, "Brother Shuo is also my son, if you tell me, will I really ignore it? With me coming forward, mother-in-law she..."

"I told you, will you let your daughter pay for my son's life?" Mrs. Liu interrupted him, looking at him with bright eyes and asked: "Killing for life, if she killed brother Shuo, then you should pay Shuo. Brother Shuo's life, will you kill her to pay for Brother Shuo's life?"

  Master Liu pursed his lips, "She is now not only my daughter, but also the head mistress of the Lan family. I can't call the shots."

   "You can find evidence and give it to the government. You don't have to kill her yourself. You will have your own court judgment."

   "Wouldn't that push the Liu family to the cusp of the storm, how will the daughter of the Liu family get married in the future..."

"Look," Mrs. Liu interrupted him softly, "you always have many reasons, but none of them are for our son, Brother Shuo's murder, you have so many reasons to shirk, how could I I believe you will negotiate with the Huang family for Brother Shuo's grave, or even tear your face?"

Mrs. Liu laughed and said: "Since you can't open your eyes for my brother Shuo, then I can only come by myself. How about it, sir, do you think what I'm doing now is satisfactory to you? Let me tell you, things At this stage, the Huang family has to bear the responsibility of six points, and you should take the responsibility for the remaining four points! I am not looking forward to the good of the Liu family now, I will be really happy if the Liu family can bury my son with me Well, hahaha..."
