That afternoon, a piece of news leaked from Dali Temple instantly shocked the entire capital, and at the same time caused an even greater uproar than 'Mai Shiranui'.
According to the news, the young officials headed by Xiang You lost their morals after drinking. After knocking out Qi Xiao, the young master of the Qi family who had an argument with them, they raped and killed a passing peasant girl.
After they sobered up, they regretted it so much that they committed suicide by jumping off a cliff because of excessive guilt.
You can hold the cabbage indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately.
Is there any evidence?
Of course!
According to the man in charge of examining the male corpses, there was a lot of alcohol odor remaining on the four corpses, which was obviously caused by heavy drinking. In addition, a bulge injured by a blunt instrument was also found on the back of Qi Xiao's head. In this way, the previous and the next are connected.
So, is there any evidence for the rape and murder claim?
Yes!
According to Wen Po, who was responsible for examining the female body, the victim's body showed obvious signs of being violated, so it can be concluded that she must have been severely contaminated during her lifetime.
As for the theory of jumping off a cliff in fear of sin, it is of course the personal conjecture of Fu Renyi, the minister of Dali Temple.
Now, he just wants to find a reasonable excuse to close the case as soon as possible, so as not to make himself even more inhuman inside and out.
Naturally, the Criminal Department could not let go of a serious case of this level, and rushed to the scene to investigate as soon as possible.
However, what results can they detect?
The man who was shot by Qi Xiao at the scene has long been turned into a nutritional ration for the fish and shrimp in the lake. Even the blood stains left at the scene were cleaned by the Qi family's guards. Check, the results are the same.
It is worth mentioning that when the Qi family guards were carrying out the aftermath work, they unexpectedly encountered the enemy's subordinates who had returned to look for their master. Since the other party refused to surrender, they had to carry out a ruthless massacre. If not, you can also add some relevant witnesses that are beneficial to your side.
Finally, one of the top two ministers of the Ministry of Punishment also tacitly adopted the conclusion drawn by the minister of Dali Temple.
Otherwise, what can he do?
In this case, the case can be concluded.
Although the Fourth Young Master was guilty, he committed suicide out of fear of his crime. Although Qi Xiao suffered some violations, the injuries were not fatal.
Why not... just leave it like this?
As a result, a scene was directly staged in reality, where the unlucky girl met the unlucky man, and the gourd monk randomly judged the gourd case.
It seems to be perfect and perfect.
However, both the plaintiff and the defendant expressed dissatisfaction with this.
Yin Jun argued vigorously: As the ancients said, it is the father's fault to raise a child without educating him. Therefore, the fault of his family's lack of education must be investigated.
Having taught such a rebellious son, how can he still have the nerve to stand in the court? If it were me, I would have crashed into the south wall long ago! Huh, you are still barking shamelessly. It is really a waste of time to read the book of sages!
Hurry up and resign from your job!
The old guys, headed by Kang Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, first protested against the verdict: Quanzi died in an unknown manner, and without a thorough investigation it is not possible to clarify the facts! Isn't it too arbitrary and ridiculous to directly identify a female corpse based on it? I have reason to suspect that this was a deliberate murder with ulterior motives.
As for the reason, he did not say clearly.
You can't just say that dogs are very afraid of death and will never commit suicide, right?
After expressing his doubts, Admiral Jiumen responded to Yin Jun's insult: How can a person who has been kidnapped by Fuso Japanese pirates have the face to ridicule others? Let alone hitting the southern wall, if it were me, I would have died for my country with a slap on my neck.
As the saying goes, you don't slap someone in the face when you hit them, and you don't expose their shortcomings when you scold them.
One can imagine how furious the white-faced head would be after hearing the news!
However, when you are angry, you should not let your anger get to your head.
Yin Jun was chatting with them while waiting for Huang Fei's reply. As long as Yao Hongyuan could be found, the case might be reversed.
By then, one can't help but feel how arrogant these old men are.
Just as the courtiers began to choose sides and prepared for the next round of verbal attacks, a bigger piece of news suddenly broke out.
It is said that the third prince accidentally fell from his horse while learning royal skills in the suburbs. The third prince was busy waiting on the side and summoned the royal doctor immediately.
Regrettably, because the little prince's injuries were so serious, even the chief physician said there was nothing he could do to save his life.
What?
The third prince died unexpectedly?
"Tsk, tsk, how long has it been since we lost two of the three princes? Could it be...that this was someone's secret plan?"
"Well... no wonder, Lord Yin Jun tried his best to demand a thorough investigation when the eldest prince died. Looking at it now, he should have realized that something was wrong."
"How about we go on a bus and write a letter asking Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate this case?"
"Don't be anxious, hold on tight! There is an undercurrent surging at the moment, and the best policy is to wait and see what happens..."
Regarding the death of the prince, the officials all turned into a crowd and sat on the sidelines.
According to the original style of the civil servants of this dynasty, when encountering such incidents, they would usually jointly submit a letter and risk their lives to remonstrate.
This time it was a misfire.
At the moment, the civil service group headed by Liang Shoufu is busy forming gangs to deal with Yin Jun. How can they have any extra worries about this matter?
Not to mention them, even Master Yin, who is known for his clear advice, pretended to be deaf and dumb at this time, as if he had never heard of this matter at all.
The news of the third prince's death was louder than thunder. Moreover, most of them are private discussions in official circles, and there are few official documents in the political arena.
Yin Jun just laughed at these wild assumptions and didn't even bother to respond.
Because at this time, he was also busy forming gangs to fight against Liang Yingzhong, and he really had no time to deal with this.
As the first stop for building relationships, he chose Yuwen Hongyuan, a scholar in the cabinet at the time.
The latter had a close personal relationship with Qi Yu and could be regarded as one of our own on the same front, so he was the first choice.
"Don't worry, Master Yin. Regarding Qi Xiao's case, I will definitely speak out and stand up for you and Master Qi."
"So, thank you very much."
"By the way, there is another matter. I would like to take the opportunity to ask for advice."
"What's the matter? Sir, please tell me!"
Yuwen Hongyuan gently put down the tea cup and said seriously: "When the eldest prince died, Mr. Yin, you once remonstrated with righteousness and shouted out to the entire court. Why did you remain silent this time? This Yeah, it’s really unlike your style. Could it be that it’s because of Qi Xiao’s case that you abandoned the public service for personal reasons?”
"No! No!"
Yin Jun shook his head decisively and said in self-defense: "I don't speak out, not because I am abandoning public affairs for personal reasons, but because I feel that it has no meaning anymore. The different attitudes before and after are mainly because the current situation has changed. This moment and the other moment also!"
"Oh? How are they different from each other?"
Yuwen Hongyuan became curious and asked for advice.
