After Xue Xia left, Shi Yongxin went to the back hall to find Yao Shan and said: "Master Fu, what happened at the Piaomiao Pavilion in the capital has nothing to do with what happened in our Suzhou Mansion. It was that person who deliberately confused the audience and disrupted the judgment."
Yao Shan was also frightened by Xue Xia. After all, once it was confirmed that "Suzhou official officials became Tongpan's slaves," the consequences would be too serious. It is possible that everyone would be in danger, and might even lose their heads.
It was precisely because of this that Yao Shancai lost his sense of proportion and reason and was led away by Xue Xia's remarks.
Now being reminded by Shi Yongxin, Yao Shancai suddenly realized that there was no issue of "domestic slaves" in the matter between Hu Xin and the yamen servants. The reason was very simple. Hu Xin was the general magistrate of Suzhou and had the responsibility and authority to mobilize the yamen servants. This was his Matters within the scope of responsibilities are, in the final analysis, just a matter of improper law enforcement and nothing else is involved.
"This man is very powerful, who is he?"
Yao Shan was a little scared. He was the magistrate, but he was so frightened by someone's two words that he forgot the whole story.
Shi Yongxin sighed: "We don't know the details of this person. Judging from his aura and conversation, he doesn't look like someone from the countryside. The current plan is to find out his identity before investigating."
Yao Shan's face darkened and he said seriously: "It doesn't matter what his identity is. What's important is that he beats the official! No matter who he is or who is behind it, we can't forgive him! Hu Tongpuan is involved, so I'll leave this matter to you." Come investigate.”
Shi Yongxin was a little embarrassed and said: "Hu Tongpan is an old man after all, and he is familiar with the team leader, cell leader, and people in the sixth room. Wouldn't it be inappropriate if I took over the investigation?"
Yao Shan looked at Shi Yongxin coldly, with anger in his gloomy eyes: "Hu Xin is just a general judge, you are a co-president! The government office's surname is Ming, not Hu! If you don't dare to do it, then write a petition I can forward the letter of resignation to the court on your behalf!"
Seeing that Yao Shan was angry, Shi Yongxin had no choice but to lower his head and agree. He turned around and took two steps, when he suddenly turned around and asked, "If I am responsible for this matter, what about Wang Kang's censorship..."
Yao Shan had a headache. The death of the censor in Suzhou was a big deal. Regardless of whether it was an accident or not, the Procuratorate would not let Suzhou go. An impeachment memorial was probably indispensable.
And there is no one in the court. If someone secretly makes up a few fatal words, things will be in trouble.
"Hu Tongpan has not closed the case, so let's use this as the basis to prepare the documents and send them to the capital as soon as possible." Yao Shan knew that the matter could not be delayed. After finishing speaking, seeing that Shi Yongxin did not leave, he couldn't help but ask: "What else is there? "
Shi Yongxin looked around and saw that there was no one else, so he whispered: "Master, don't you think it is unreasonable for the old house to collapse and cause death? There was no earth dragon turning over that day, and there was no heavy rain or strong wind, so the house collapsed for no reason..."
"Do you think there is another reason for Wang Kang's death?"
Yao Shan looked surprised.
Shi Yongxin did not answer directly, but said: "Suzhou is an old city and there are many abandoned houses. There are not many collapses of old houses. Why did something happen to the old house where Wang Kang lived? If these problems are not explained clearly, even if We will send the report to the capital, fearing that we will be called back for re-investigation."
Yao Shan paced back and forth, thinking about the joints, and finally said: "Send the case documents to my desk, and I will investigate the matter myself."
Seeing that Yao Shan could not trust Hu Xin, Shi Yongxin nodded and turned around to leave.
Once it can be proven that Hu Xin's case documents are false, even if he survives, his vitality will be severely damaged, and the real people in Suzhou City will change in the future.
The local snake has been suppressing the dragon for several years. If the dragon wants to turn over, what will happen to the snake?
Shi Yongxin found the prosecutor Meng Xuemin and asked: "Where are the prisoners who were previously detained? Have any of them come into contact with others?"
Meng Xuemin had a good relationship with Hu Xin on the surface, but he was not in Hu Xin's group. He was more of an ordinary official and did not want to participate in the internal disputes in the government office. .
But this person also has a characteristic, that is, conscientiousness.
It's normal to say that Meng Xuemin just came from the grassroots level. He was a Jinshi in the first year of Jianwen. However, because of his poor performance, he was not selected into the Hanlin Academy. Instead, he was assigned to Suzhou as a promotion official. As long as he survived three years In 2007, people could climb up the ranks once they passed the civil service examination. There was really no need to get involved in local power struggles.
Tuiguan is in charge of criminal matters, praises and plans, and has two identities: judge and auditor. Although he is only the seventh rank, he is a very important position in the county.
Meng Xuemin replied respectfully: "Those who beat themselves up were imprisoned in the dungeon. Only three people have entered the cell. Two of them are the squad leader and the cell leader, and the other one is... Qianhu Zhengzhi from the Security Bureau."
"What?"
Shi Yongxin was shocked and asked quickly: "How did the Security Bureau enter the dungeon?"
Meng Xuemin said helplessly: "Zheng Qianhu believes that the person who beats the official has a treasonous intention and is endangering the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. He should be investigated. He is carrying a token, and we cannot stop him."
Shi Yongxin swallowed. The guys from the Security Bureau are coming. Who can stop them? Even if they broke into their bedroom in the middle of the night, no one could stop them.
"By the way, the Security Bureau also took away a case document of Wang Kang Yushi."
Meng Xuemin thought about it.
"hiss!"
Shi Yongxin's face turned even paler.
The matters that the Security Bureau intervenes in are often high-profile matters. Some minor matters can be dealt with how the local government handles them. The scope of influence is limited, and the matter will basically not be spread outside the city of Suzhou.
But the Security Bureau is different. These guys hold the name of "security" in their hands and have unimpeded power to investigate. Although they are not as majestic as the Jinyiwei and cannot do such shocking things as the prefects trying prisoners and the Jinyiwei arresting the prefects, they People from the Security Bureau are not easy to mess with at all. If they are involved, the emperor may know about it. If the emperor knows about it, then a small matter in Suzhou Mansion may become a major matter for the court!
Things are getting tougher.
Shi Yongxin wiped his cold sweat, ordered the jailer to open the cell door, and walked deep into the dungeon accompanied by Meng Xuemin.
The foul smell, the dim light and shadow, and the screams of injustice passed through the long and narrow passage and reached the deepest part.
There is a sound, but not loud.
Shi Yongxin looked at Meng Xuemin and asked, "Has anyone else been here?"
Meng Xuemin slapped his forehead and said somewhat depressedly: "I forgot to tell Mr. Tongzhi that Zheng Qianhu hasn't left yet..."
"I x!"
Shi Yongxin swore, you can forget such a life-threatening matter, why don't you just run into it and die on a pillar?
It's too late to leave...
Zheng Zhi turned around and looked at Shi Yongxin, grinning brightly: "Hey, this is not Lord Tongzhi, why do you have time to come here?"
Shi Yongxin glared at Meng Xuemin fiercely, thinking that he would be killed by him sooner or later. He quickly walked towards Zheng Zhi and said, "Zheng Qianhu, please take a step to speak."
Zheng Zhi shook his head and said: "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. It will not be good for you if the relationship between the two of us is too good..."
Shi Yongxin was almost fainted with anger, but he held back and said: "The matter here is only a matter of Suzhou. The Suzhou prefect's office can handle it, so I won't bother the security bureau."
Zheng Zhi raised his brows and said with a smile: "Shi Tongzhi, up to now you still think that the prefect's Yamen can handle it? Haha, okay, then you can handle it. But, I want to mention one person."
"Except for him!"
Shi Yongxin pointed to Xue Xia.
Zheng Zhi chuckled, turned around and looked at the cell opposite, and said, "The Security Bureau wants this person."
"Well?"
Shi Yongxin looked over, squinted and looked again, and asked Meng Xuemin beside him: "Who is this person?"
Meng Xuemin explained: "This person, Zhou Deng, is from Jiaxing. The evidence is conclusive. He has been detained here for three years. However, the court has not yet reviewed his death sentence, so it has been delayed."
"Home invasion and murder?"
Shi Yongxin knew that those who could be imprisoned in this position were either ruthless people like Xue Xia or extremely evil.
Meng Xuemin gritted his teeth and said, "He was the one who promoted officials in Wu County. He killed two people and three!"
Shi Yongxin thought about it, looked at Zheng Zhi, and said, "This person is responsible for a murder case. I'm afraid it's not convenient for him to be taken away by the security bureau."
Zheng Zhi disagreed and said: "If you can't make the decision, then let someone who can make the decision come over. In any case, the Security Bureau will take him away."
Shi Yongxin didn't expect Zheng Zhi to be so strong. In desperation, he had to use the rules: "The Security Bureau has no right to interrogate, no right to interrogate. Such blatant violation of laws and disciplines, Zheng Qianhu, is this okay?"
Zheng Zhi leaned against the cell door, crossed his hands on his chest, and said disdainfully: "The Security Bureau wants this person just to investigate some matters. There is no interrogation or interrogation, so he will not violate the rules set by the emperor. Let's wait for the matter After the investigation is clear, the Security Bureau will return him."
"Is it necessary to mention it?"
"It must be mentioned!"
"Okay, Officer Meng, let the Security Bureau sign a document and report it to the prefect."
Shi Yongxin knew he couldn't stop it, so he had no choice but to agree.
Zheng Zhi looked at Xue Xia and nodded slightly without saying anything. After the cell leader opened the cell, he took Zhou Deng and left.
Shi Yongxin saw the silent exchange between Zheng Zhi and Xue Xia, and an unknown premonition came to his mind. Even the government officials could not look down on him. The arrogant Qianhu of the Security Bureau actually nodded to a prisoner and faintly replied. There is one kind - respect!
Yes, respectful!
Shi Yongxin believed in his intuition, walked to Xue Xia's cell, and asked, "Who are you? What's your last name?"
Xue Xia did not answer, but turned his back on the guest: "You were blinded, and you thought you saw the truth. You can kill people and silence them with just a few tricks. This is the Suzhou magistrate's yamen. I admire you."
Shi Yongxin was filled with uneasiness. The other party was clearly hinting at something. It was most likely that he was talking about the death of Wang Kang, the censor. Ordinary people would only talk nonsense about this kind of thing. They could not be so bold and dare to ridicule the government. .
Unless there is a powerful force behind the other party.
Shi Yongxin suddenly remembered that in Hu's Grain Store, behind this person, there was another person standing, a person who was outside but could not be ignored...
