Jing Zhaoyin hurriedly arranged his official uniforms and entered the palace.

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

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

Jing Zhaoyin entered the back hall and saw the prince sitting under the tree. He was playing chess with his brows frowned and Gu Jingyun sitting opposite.

The first thing Jing Zhaoyin thought of was the fight between Gu Jingyun yesterday, he was relieved, this matter was not a big one, before the murder case of Huang's family, this matter was really easy to deal with.

He stepped forward, bowed and saluted, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The crown prince put down the chess piece, stretched out his hand and said, "Yu Qing is free."

The prince glanced at the teacher, turned his head and said to the waiter, "Show Master Yu a seat."

Although the monarchy is more centralized than before, ministers are loyal to the emperor, and the emperor also needs to be courteous to his ministers, so he will not belittle his ministers like the Manchus.

Jing Zhaoyin bowed his hands calmly and sat down, the crown prince smiled at him and said, "The reason for inviting Yu Qing to come is because of the Huang family's murder."

Jing Zhaoyin was slightly stunned, and then sighed, he didn't expect the crown prince to ask about this matter. However, this murder case is indeed tortuous and involves a lot, so it is reasonable for the prince to intervene.

Sure enough, the prince said in a deep voice: "This case involves a lot and has extremely bad influence. There are also cases in the case. Is Yu Qing sure to find out?"

"Liu Huang's murder has conclusive evidence, but Lan Liu's murder of Liu Shuo has to find evidence, but after five years, how much evidence can be left is uncertain, and there are still people secretly obstructing..."

The prince said in a deep voice: "Do your best to investigate. If anyone dares to obstruct your investigation, the official should hand over the list to Dali Temple and Yushitai, and the rest must follow the law. The matter of the Huang family is not going to be like this. , all because the clan has repeatedly overridden the law, and there are officials to protect it, this has evolved into this."

According to the law, if the Huang family regrets the marriage, if the man is unwilling, he can sue the other party and insist on getting married. Because the two families had already been engaged at that time, and even gave the dowry, if the Huang family hadn't used the power of the clan to oppress them, the marriage could not be withdrawn at all.

But Liu Shuo's murder case was even worse. The Liu family alone, the Huang family and the Lan family were able to suppress a murder case, making Mrs. Liu dare not report it to the Yamen even though she knew the truth.

If the Yamen could give her the justice she wanted, would she still poison the Lan Liu family like a fish to death, and kill Master Huang like she was killed?

In the final analysis, it is because of the power to affect judicial justice. Jing Zhaoyin is still fair, and the capital he manages is like this, so what about other places?

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

"Just take this case as a breakthrough point and face up to judicial justice. Yu Qing, I want the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple to form a patrol team to investigate unjust and wrong cases across the country. I just want to see who will lend a hand in this case."

Jing Zhaoyin's pupils shrank, and he glanced at Gu Jingyun, who was so calm, still wrestling with his left and right hands, and mourned for the people outside for a moment in his heart.

He got up and saluted and said: "My minister is in command, rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely handle this case impartially."

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

Jing Zhaoyin couldn't sit still when he heard the words. The Liu, Lan and Huang families could invite so many people, obviously they wanted to cover up the Lan Liu family. No more.

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

Jing Zhaoyin immediately got up and said goodbye, "Your Highness, I have retired first. There are still many doubts about Lan Liu's case. I want to go and see in person."

The crown prince nodded and said, "Yu Qing, go."

Jing Zhaoyin walked out quickly, and realized something was wrong when he was halfway there. He stopped slowly, raised his eyebrows and thought.

He had expected that the three families would destroy the evidence and help clean up the matter, so he sent people to Liu's house for questioning and detained Lan Liu's. He couldn't have done it better, faster, even if he had gone in person, so why on earth was he leaving in such a hurry?

He slapped his head hard, and Gu Jingyun reminded him that he didn't ask him to search for evidence quickly. Five years have passed, where is there any physical evidence?

All he could rely on was witnesses.

As for witnesses, who 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 this matter, he has no idea, on the contrary, the Liu family can know.

So he didn't have to bother to investigate at all, he just had to keep an eye on the Liu, Lan and Huang families, especially the Liu and Lan families, and see who they dealt with and what they dealt with before intercepting them later.

Moreover, in addition to their own family, there are An Qingshu, Liu Ziyang and Guan Yi's family as witnesses. They were all present when Madam Wei confessed.

Jing Zhaoyin's eyes lit up, and he hurried out of the palace. First of all, he asked his confidants to divide into two groups, and continued to search for evidence along the way.

He himself brought people to visit the An family and the other three families, and asked them to testify in court.

At this time, the prince was staring at the chessboard with a deeply shocked face. He was about to die, and he had already given up resisting and planned to die by himself. In the end, the husband fought each other and not only revived him, but also killed him. Let him have the upper hand, but he said he was not happy at all after seeing the chess move.

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

Gu Jingyun lowered his head to study the chessboard and ignored him. He could only sigh quietly, and changed the subject: "Who do you think is suitable to be the first inspector?"

There are only six grades of inspections scheduled, but on behalf of the emperor, officials from the Ministry of Punishments and Dali Temple will form the chief and deputy inspections, one will be the judge and the other will be the prosecutor.

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

The crown prince was drinking tea from a teacup, when he heard that he spewed out a sip of tea, without caring about his appearance, he pulled out his ears and asked, "Who are you talking about, sir?"

"Wei Cong is quick-witted, and he is especially familiar with criminal laws. Isn't he listening to politics in the Ministry of Criminal Justice now? Isn't it normal to be a patrol officer from the sixth rank and then promoted to half rank? When the time comes, he will be assigned an old but warm-hearted man from Dali Temple. Just give him the vice patrol."

"Yes, but he is Wei Wei!" The prince couldn't help stammering.

The corner of Gu Jingyun's mouth twitched slightly, "That's why he is the most suitable."

The prince lowered his head and thought for a while before he had to nod and admit, "Well, he is indeed suitable, but I don't think many officials will welcome him."

"The position of inspector is not popular with officials, so it doesn't matter if you welcome it or not?"

Wei Cong has experienced many things, he has been a genius, he has also been a dandy, he has even pretended to be crazy, and he has been disheartened and unwilling to take part in the imperial examination for more than ten years. I love to read the Torah.

After the death of the first emperor, he was recalled from the mine by the new emperor. He originally wanted to send him to study in the Imperial Academy, but he didn't like it. According to his hobbies, he was allocated to the Ministry of punishment.

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

It was Gu Jingyun's idea to attach importance to judicial justice and prevent forces from intervening in the trial, and it was also his idea to set up a patrol office, so he must of course think about the candidate for the first patrol office.

After much deliberation, there is no one more suitable than Wei Cong.

He is indeed a lunatic, a lunatic who will not show favoritism to his own family. He is not afraid of other powers, is proficient in criminal law, and is smart and quick-witted. The only shortcoming is that he lacks interrogation experience.

So he needs a smooth, experienced deputy to accompany him.

Although he originally intended to give Mrs. Liu a gift, since he had already touched on judicial disadvantages, he felt uncomfortable if he didn't bring it up.

Don't everyone think that they can intervene in the judiciary, destroy evidence, and influence the verdict? Then he will give them a gift, as a way to exercise their ability to clean up.

Except for Jing Zhaoyin, no one knew that Gu Jingyun had also intervened in the murder of the Huang family, but the only ones who could have guessed it, Master Liu and Master Lan, did not think about it.

From their point of view, Gu Jingyun has no relationship with Mrs. Liu, so how could he help Mrs. Liu?

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

Master Liu couldn't sit still any longer, and went to see Mrs. Liu in person in the sky prison, hoping that she would consider the overall situation and consider the whole family, and not do stupid things that make loved ones hurt their enemies and make their enemies happy.

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

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 quickly. Don't worry, I will make brother Shuo feel at ease, so that none of our enemies will end well."

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

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

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

"You can find the evidence and submit it to the government. You don't need to kill her yourself, and you can have your own court judgment."

"Wouldn't that push the Liu family to the forefront, how will the daughters 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. If you have so many reasons to shirk brother Shuo's revenge, how could I? I believe you will negotiate with the Huang family for Brother Shuo'er's tomb, and even tear your face apart?"

Mrs. Liu laughed loudly and said: "Since you can't show my brother Shuo's eyes, then I can only come by myself. How about it, master, do you think you are satisfied with what I am doing now? Let me tell you, things At this point today, the Huang family has to bear six points of responsibility, and you should be responsible for the remaining four points! I am not looking forward to the Liu family's well-being now. I will be really happy if the Liu family can be buried with my son Well, hahaha..."
