Sitting in Wangtang, Zhao Sang talked eloquently: "...To sum up, this is a competition for merit. Shouchun Academy competes with Yangzhou Academy for merit. It is undoubtedly the merit. What is even worse is that Jingtai tried to imprison Sun Wu in Shouchun. , sent his friend Han Shu to stop Sui Yue, intending to take advantage of the emptiness in Yangzhou to rob the main criminals Su Qishan and Dong Bozhao, but they missed the fact that Xue Zhong was in Yangzhou, so their success fell short."
Wang Nang presented each case to the audience: "This is the confession of the parties involved, a total of thirty-eight people, including Yangzhou Academy, Yingdu Academy, Suicheng Academy, Shouchun Academy, Jiujiang Academy... This is the review and evidence of the doctors in Yangzhou and Shouchun, seven pieces in total... This is the injury report of Jingtai and Qingshu... This is the on-site inspection record by Master Zhao Fu and I... This is the longevity collected by Daku Dan records... These are copies of the three wanted co-investigation orders issued by Yangzhou, as well as the co-investigation results and reporting documents of officials from Yingdu, Suicheng School, and Shangyong Temple... These are the principal culprit Su Dong and the three accomplices Wei Shumang. The confession... This is a list of the magic weapons used by the people involved in the case... This is the guard magic array of the two schools in Shouchun and Yangzhou... This is the blueprint of the private residence of the Han Shu Tibetans. The back house in the picture The firewood room on the left is where Wei Shumang and the other three were imprisoned... This is a torture device in the dungeon of Shouchun Academy, and the blood stains on it were left by Wei Shumang and the other three..."
As the ministers were looking through the evidence, Zhao Sang added: "I have something to report to you. Jiujiang Traveling Lian Zheng insisted that Sun Wu went to Jiujiang to save people and failed, so he was framed. For this reason, Master Wang and I almost He was shaken in his judgment of the case. He repeatedly scrutinized and re-examined the evidence, and even spent an extra seven days. However, he found that what he said could not be consistent with all the confessions and evidence, and some joints could not be explained. This was a major doubt. "
Luo Lingfu asked from the side: "What do you two think can't be explained?"
Zhao Shang said: "The most unexplainable thing is why Jingtai and Lian Zheng arrested Wei Shumang. Lian Zheng said it was entrusted by Jingtai, and Jingtai said it was hearsay... So, even if it is hearsay, it can only be The news has spread in Yangzhou."
Yan Boqiao said: "There is one thing that Zhao Shang and Wang Nang can't talk about. Let me tell them for them. Lian Zheng's dissatisfaction may come from Yangzhou School's complaint. This is what he said personally. He said that even if he went to Shangyong It is also his right to arrest people, and there is no need to inform Sun Wu."
Luo Lingfu shook his head: "What Lian Zheng did by disrupting the investigation for this reason is too much."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Ying again. Jiang Ying was staring at the many files stacked in the hall without looking through them, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After Zhao Shang finished his statement, he and Wang Nang exited the Zuowangtang and waited outside the door. Wang Nang asked, "How long will it take for Master Zhao Fu to be sentenced to prison?"
Zhao Shang smiled and said: "Today is the last day. It will be three years when I get here. Three years, I finally got through it."
Wang Nang was filled with envy: "Congratulations to Master Zhao Fu."
Zhao Shang said: "You don't have to envy me. Since Yan Fengxing brought you out, he also gave you a chance to make meritorious deeds. Once this case is settled, you will be able to save half a year, maybe even a year."
Wang Nang sighed: "Even if I can lose one year, there are still two years left..."
Sitting in Wangtang, Yan Boqiao said: "Everyone, the night before I was ordered to go down the mountain, I looked through the files and realized that Yangzhou Academy has a great advantage. If it is a normal investigation, no matter how many reports anyone reads, they will always prefer Yangzhou Academy. , preferring Sun Wu. After much deliberation, in order to go overboard, I did not bring any of my disciples, but chose two monks who were punished for working hard: Wang Nang and Zhao Shang."
Luo Fengxing asked with great interest: "What are these two people special about?"
Yan Boqiao replied: "Wang Nang and Sun Wu had a huge feud. When Sun Wu entered the palace to learn alchemy last year, Wang Nang injured Sun Wu many times. As a result, he was sentenced to three years of hard labor. Ziyu followed the You must remember that it was you, Da Fengxing, who punished you with hard labor in the mountains behind the king's bag."
Ziyu nodded slowly: "I remember, at that time, Wang Nang accused the great alchemist Sangtian of being unfair, saying that everyone in the alchemy hall was indignant, and also said that he would jointly submit a petition. I waited for him for a few days, but he hesitated. I couldn't even get a joint name, and I suspected that he had lost his temper after drinking and talked nonsense, so he was sent to the back mountain for a light punishment."
Yan Boqiao said: "Zhao Sang is the talisman master of Qi Fu Pavilion..."
Jiang Ying, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted: "Although he is the Talisman Master of my Qi Fu Pavilion, he may not necessarily listen to me."
Yan Boqiao smiled and said: "At least you won't be biased towards Yangzhou, right?"
Jiang Ying was silent for a moment and nodded.
Yan Boqiao continued: "This time during the investigation, I didn't mention anything to the two of them, I didn't hint anything to them, I let them go completely, everything was handled by them, and I spent most of the time wandering around in the YZ market. Relax and only give them support and courage when they need it. Facts have shown that most of the time, the people in my academy are far better than ordinary people in the world. Look at the cases they handle, they are well organized, the facts are clear, the confessions are complete, and the evidence is sufficient , no matter how the case is decided in the end, Zhao Shang and Wang Nang will be able to use it in the future."
Luo Fengxing handed over his hand: "Luo is deeply impressed by Yan Fengxing's way of supporting the younger generation and has been taught by him."
Yan Boqiao said with a smile: "I educate people, but Yan only knows how to punish people. This is the credit of all of you."
Everyone looked at Jianwu, Jianwu looked at Jiang Ying, Jiang Ying was silent, then looked at Uncle Lian, who was thoughtful and silent, then looked at Ziyu, who nodded slightly to him, and then looked at Ji Xian. , Ji Xian said: "It's very clear."
"Then let's discuss it."
Ji Xian said: "Jingtai competed for merit and caused the Chu land to tremble. This wind must not rise. It should be punished as a warning to all places."
Ziyu said: "Ji Zi's words should be regarded as correct. Not punishing him is not enough to teach the world. It's just that Jingtai has been walking for many years. Although he has not achieved great results, it can be said that he has worked hard. If the punishment is too excessive, he may be injured in the schools everywhere. I thought that it was enough to avoid the walking errand, and the injury was serious, so I could be recalled to Linzi to recuperate. Whether I was imprisoned in the Fourth Peak or served as a punishment in Yan, I could offset the fines, just like Yangzhou, Shouchun Two school buildings were destroyed, so he was fined to pay for repairs. As for Qing Shu going out to cause trouble, we can't let it go. Why not just stick to the old rules and send Yan to serve under his command for five years? "
Ji Xian nodded: "Second."
Jianwu asked Yan Boqiao for his opinion, and Yan Boqiao said: "You all can just stick to the agreement. How dare Mr. Yan speak nonsense? But what Lian Zheng did is suspected of deliberately interfering with the investigation, and we should not condone it."
Uncle Lian said: "What Yan Fengxing said is true. I think he should be removed from the post of Jiujiang Traveling and replaced with someone else to take charge of the Jiujiang Academy."
Jianwu asked Luo Lingfu and Jiang Ying if they had anything to add.
Luo Lingfu said: "What you all said is absolutely correct, I have no objection."
Jiang Ying was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "I have nothing to say."
Jianwu said: "Then let's do it this way... Now there are two school vacancies in Shouchun and Jiujiang. Let's decide on the candidate today. Please give me your suggestions."
