"Okay, no matter what, he is your brother!"
"Yes, father, my son has remembered it. Don't worry, I will definitely let people keep an eye on this case. It's just that Mr. Jing Zhaoyin is a confidant of the Holy Emperor. We have no way to start with him. Now we can only pray that Li Yue can really fight with that case." The several human life cases are not related, so the other crimes should not be responsible for his life."
It's too early to say this.
On the second day, before the formal ceremony, something big happened!
Of the more than ten women who were rescued, two of them hanged themselves directly, each leaving a suicide note. Another one threw herself into the river and is now confirmed to be dead. Early in the morning, two of them also wanted to hang themselves, but were rescued. Down.
So far, three more lives have been lost.
Let's not talk about the corpses buried in Zhuangzi. It's just that they are the three people who died last night. The blame is assigned to Li Yue.
And that's not the most troublesome thing. When the two suicide notes were delivered to Cheng Jingzhou, everyone else was numb!
Jingzhao Prefecture Yin looked at Cheng Jingzhou who handed the suicide note to him with an expressionless expression, and suddenly felt butterflies in his heart.
When he reads his suicide note, people will be stunned!
Who would have thought that these two people were not ordinary women, but officials' relatives?
Not only are they official relatives, one of them is also the daughter of two famous powerful families in the capital. Even if she is a concubine, she is still their child!
"That's bad. I'm afraid you and I are no longer qualified to try this matter again. We won't go to court today. I will return to Beijing immediately to ask for your Majesty's instructions."
The governor of Jingzhao is also worried. He has just arrived in Feng County, and his chair is not warm yet. Such a big thing has happened. This is no longer a case that they can try.
It was a matter involving relatives of the emperor, and even if he had the courage to judge, the anger of those powerful people would not be something he could bear.
Emperor Jingwen looked helpless after reading these two suicide notes.
Both of these two girls came from noble families. One of them was the concubine of the Cheng'en family, that is, the queen's niece; the other was the granddaughter of the eldest princess of Changle. Strictly speaking, she was the second son of the eldest princess of Changle. Concubine.
This is a breakthrough!
Let’s not talk about the queen for now, just talk about Princess Changle. How should he explain it?
The eldest princess Changle is the imperial sister of Emperor Jingwen. Although they are not the same mother, they grew up together. The eldest princess Changle is ten years older than Emperor Jingwen. At this age, if she heard the news, she would not know it. Will he faint from anger?
The eldest princess of Changle does not necessarily cherish this concubine's granddaughter, but this is related to the face of the entire family, and the eldest princess of Changle will definitely not let this Li Yue go lightly!
Emperor Jingwen said angrily: "This Li Yue is really doing a lot of harm to people!"
"Your Majesty, this case is no longer suitable for trial in Feng County. I suggest that Li Yue be taken to Dali Temple for custody."
The cold sweat on Jing Zhaoyin's head hasn't gone away yet. He doesn't dare to try such a big case, and he must never let himself be responsible again.
Emperor Jingwen glanced at him and knew that the case was indeed not suitable for a sixth-grade official to try again, so he sent someone to Dali Temple.
The case took place in Feng County. Li Yue was initially arrested and charged because he built a private house and robbed women.
Now, not only is it involved in a murder case, it also involves the royal family and nobles. This is no longer an ordinary case.
"Your Majesty, in the opinion of a humble minister, after the two crimes of building a house privately and raping a girl are punished by Magistrate Cheng of Feng County, he will be handed over to Dali Temple for trial."
"That's right."
This time, the governor of Jingzhao did not go with him, but the minister of Dali Temple personally led a group of people and went straight to Feng County.
The delay lasted until the afternoon. After Cheng Jingzhou asked the ministers of Dali Temple for instructions, he finally decided to let them take the people away today.
Being detained in Feng County, Cheng Jingzhou was also a little frightened, fearing that something would happen to Li Yue in Feng County again.
After all, there are still several life cases that have not been clarified, and he cannot be allowed to die here.
The life story of the two women who hanged themselves has been kept secret for the time being, and the suicide note has now been in the hands of the Minister of Dali Temple. It will not be made public until he officially takes over the prisoner.
Li Yue was sentenced to a total of five thousand six hundred and twenty-two taels in compensation and fines. As for the house, because it was newly built, there were no plans to demolish it for the time being. The King of Xiangjun had already sent people over to collect all the land deeds and land deeds. If you offer it, you can save your son's life. To him, these things are not worth mentioning at all.
Li Xing felt somewhat dissatisfied when he saw that the sentence was so light.
Cheng Jingzhou, the county magistrate, is not that good. He who robbed civilian girls only paid some money to these families. If it were anyone else, he would have been sentenced to ten years in prison or exiled.
Li Xing thought it was Cheng Jingzhou who finally compromised with the Xiangjun Palace. Just as he was feeling dissatisfied, he heard the follow-up.
"Li Yue is the second son of the Prince of Xiang County, and his duties are limited to Feng County. Since Li Yue is involved in other cases, the remaining cases will be handed over to Dali Temple for handling. Now the Minister of Dali Temple has come to Feng County in person. Let’s take Li Yue on the journey.”
Li Xing stared, how could he trick the Dali Temple Minister out again?
This, shouldn't this case be tried by Jingzhao Mansion?
What happened that he didn't know about?
Until Li Xing saw with his own eyes that Li Yue was put into a prison car by people from Dali Temple. However, Li Yue had a black hood on his head and was shackled. No matter how he looked, he looked like the kind of person who had committed a heinous crime. prisoner!
Li Xing didn't respond for a long time, until someone came over and asked him to come into the back hall to talk.
"The lower official has met the Crown Prince."
Li Xing quickly held his arm and said, "Master Cheng, please forgive me."
"Your Majesty, please take a seat."
The two of them did not exchange greetings. Cheng Jingzhou knew that Li Xing had doubts in his heart, so he told the matter directly.
"It is impossible for Li Yue to return to the Xiangjun Prince's Mansion."
Li Xing looked surprised: "But what happened?"
Cheng Jingzhou nodded and vaguely reminded: "This case is no longer accessible to the official, but I can remind you: Li Yue offended someone who cannot be offended. Last night, two women hanged themselves in the inn where they were temporarily accommodated. "The identities of these two women are not simple, and they wrote all Li Yue's evil deeds in his suicide note."
Li Xing's eyes brightened: "What do you mean, sir, is it difficult for Li Yue to escape this time?"
Cheng Jingzhou nodded: "No matter how much it is, it is not appropriate for a lower official to reveal it. I just want to remind the prince that you should not inquire too much about this case, otherwise, I might arouse the wrath of the Holy One!"
As Cheng Jingzhou spoke, he cupped his hands in the direction of the capital. Obviously, this was another reminder.
Li Xing understood immediately and thanked him.
Finally, the giant Buddha was sent away, and Cheng Jingzhou was relieved of his worries.
Xie Xiuqi brought something over: "Sir, what should we do with this farm?" (End of Chapter)
