[Ninety] framed Yuanfu
Jiang Chengyi dragged the murder case of Su Ren and Yangzhou to the end of October. Finally, Emperor Wei was impatient and ordered him to close the case immediately within five days. However, the Deng Mansion was still quiet and there was no movement. Jiang Chengyi felt strange, but he was helpless. The king's order was like a mountain, pressing against the Dongfu Office, forcing him to compromise.
The case has been delayed for more than half a month, and the case files have been copied and excerpted in detail by the Dongfu Department. Any small case connected with it can be found in the extremely detailed file records and evidence. What is the relationship between the forty-eight officials involved and Su Ren, and what roles they play in the Yangzhou Circular Case, were written down one by one. The small cases committed by the person and the aristocratic families involved were investigated clearly by the officials of the Dongfu Department. The details of the case are linked together, and there is no mistake at all.
On the second day after the Wei Emperor ordered the case to be closed, Jiang Chengyi cleared the hundreds of volumes of documents and evidence and sent them to the Eastern Palace, asking the prince to review and review first.
After two days of process, all the books on the Su Ren case were checked and verified all night long, and the seal of the crown prince was stamped. The Censorate was presented to the Censorate, and the Censor General Xue Qing personally sent it to the palace.
The case file arrived at Nangong. Soon, the Emperor of Wei reviewed and sealed the case and approved the verdict of the prince and the East Prefecture Department.
On October 29th, the palace approval document was issued, and Cui Qian personally left the palace gate and came to announce the imperial edict. Jiang Chengyi knelt in front of the Dongfu Office to accept the holy wish. After seeing Cui Qian away, he handed the judgment document for the murder case in Yangzhou to the Zhongdu official Cao Shangshu Mansion and informed the people of the world.
Su Ren, the leader of the army, robbed people of land and killed people, and was sentenced to death by Lingchi. He was sentenced to death the next day. Because his family had all died in a fire a year ago, he was sentenced to beheading the remaining tribesmen. The remaining forty-eight officials involved in the case were sentenced to a certain crime based on the size of the crimes they committed, or were sentenced to exile for two thousand miles in the south, or were exiled as slaves, or were confiscated from the house and lost their wealth, and none of them were lightly sentenced.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately spread throughout the capital. Deng Guozhong lost his son for a month, and his mental state was already showing signs of improvement under Deng Qing's careful care. He heard about this and was so angry that he fainted again.
The Deng family was anxious because of the illness of the head of the family. Deng Fu, who was involved in politics in the court, could not escape from the sorrow of losing his brother for a long time and did not persist for a month. He also said that he had passed away from the court and returned home after illness.
A group of people surrounded Deng Guozhong from morning to night, taking care of him, and never left. The atmosphere was suppressed and low, and everyone was in danger. Su Ren fell too quickly, and Deng was hit hard, and the Yangzhou situation completely collapsed. The arrogance of this top family on weekdays was completely destroyed. They only dared to act in a low-key manner, for fear that the hostile aristocratic groups would attack him.
On the day Su Ren was executed, Jiang Chengyi got up from the bed early in the morning to prepare. He was wearing the Dongfu Office's Office, holding a token in his hand, and hurried to the execution ground in a hurry.
The torture was preparatory in Xingtai, Dongshi City, and the order of Emperor Wei was to show Su Ren Lingchi to the public. The executioner was already sharpening his knife at the execution ground.
After Su Ren was sentenced yesterday, he was sent to the death jail of Tingwei Mansion. Starting from this morning, the Dongfu Office and the officials of the Tingwei Mansion took him to Xingtai and temporarily placed him in the Dongshi Prison, waiting for the judge to come.
Jiang Chengyi rushed to the scene and rushed to the scene with Xue Qing before the execution. When he entered the East City, his first thing was to go to the prison for inspection. At first, the yamen runners were guarding the prison, and Su Ren was closely monitored. Everything seemed to be nothing unusual.
After noon, Jiang Chengyi ordered someone to take Su Ren out of the prison. Before the prison officer took him to the execution ground, he realized something was wrong with him, so he hurriedly called someone to invite Jiang Chengyi.
Jiang Cheng went to carefully identify it, and then he realized that this person was not Su Ren.
"What's going on? Isn't this Su Ren at all?" He immediately changed his face. Deng's wife quietly changed people without the jailers' knowledge. Deng Qing has such great ability?
The man in front of him, who was wearing a prison uniform and looked very similar to Su Ren, was staring at him with horror. Jiang Chengyi turned cold, and the atmosphere was instantly gloomy and cold. The prison guards in the prison did not dare to breathe, and they looked at each other, panicking.
"I asked you what happened?! Are you all mute?" The young man asked sternly, his eyes wide open, staring at the crowd in the prison, extremely annoyed.
"The little people... don't know what's going on? The little people were in prison and did not leave a step. But when they checked it, they found that this person and Su Ren's actions were completely different. Only then did they find that the person... had been dropped." The jailers said tremblingly.
Jiang Chengyi looked into the airtight prison and frowned. He looked at the replaced prisoner with sharp and cold eyes, and suddenly reached out and pinched the man's chin, and said fiercely: "Tell me! Who are you?!"
The man opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't say a word, and his whole body trembled continuously. Jiang Chengyi narrowed his eyes and felt something was wrong. So he increased the strength of his fingertips, pinched his jaw, and forced him to open his mouth.
Soon, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. The fake prisoner's mouth turned out to be rotten, his tongue was pulled out, and his bloody mouth was covered with black juice, and a foul smell was emitted.
Jiang Chengyi immediately frowned and let go of his hands like a conditioned reflex, covering his mouth and nose, and was shocked. Deng Qing was so vicious that the wounds in this person's mouth were old. It must have been pulled out of his tongue half a month ago. The blood was so corrupt that it was shocking.
He originally thought that according to Deng's current situation, he could only cooperate with the inside and outside of the Dongfu Department, gathering experts from the martial arts world to rob the prison. Unexpectedly, Deng Qing actually used this trick to replace the pillars? He underestimated Deng Qing's strength, and did not expect that after losing the power of Yangzhou, Deng could still find someone who looked almost exactly the same as Su Ren from the millions of civilians in the Great Wei Dynasty.
There were spies in the water pavilion in all counties. In order to deal with the Deng family, Jiang Chengyi ordered a thousand detectives from the East Prefecture Office to set up defenses along the official roads and commercial roads in the capital to supervise and supervise any caravans and official teams related to the Deng family, but did not get any news.
In Luoyang, all the lists of common people in the East Prefecture Department are recorded. Deng knew this and would not dare to be so bold in the Jingji area. He must have started from remote areas and found someone who looks like Su Ren. So... How did Deng Qing transport this person into the capital while the Water Pavilion and the East Prefecture Department were strictly guarding and laying a net of heaven and earth?
He lowered his eyes, took two steps back, frowned and thought for a while, and asked the prison guard: "Just just now, besides you and me, there are other people who have been to the prison?"
The prison guard thought about it carefully, but did not notice anything unusual, bowed and said, "No one has ever been in the prison except for the Wang Pozi who sent the death row to the death row prisoner."
"Pret Wang?" Jiang Chengyi asked suspiciously, then asked: "Where is she now?"
"I have only left for a while, and I should have not left the East City." The jailer replied honestly.
Jiang Chengyi frowned and asked, "What abnormal behavior did she do when she left prison?"
"Reporting to the Lord, there was nothing unusual. After Mrs. Wang brought the meal as usual, she pushed the wooden barrel cart away." The prisoner replied.
"Bottle car?" Jiang Chengyi turned his head and stared at him, asking anxiously: "How big is it?"
The prisoner immediately understood his thoughts, then shook his head and said, "The wooden barrel cart is just an ordinary meal cart... An adult and strong man as tall as Su Ren should not be able to get in... Besides, when Mrs. Wang left, the brothers carefully checked it and found no abnormality."
After hearing this, Jiang Chengyi couldn't help but feel strange. How did Su Ren exchange her seal with the fake prisoner?
The people guarding the East City prison today are half of the people from the Tingwei Mansion and half of the people from the East City. Even if there are Deng's staff in the East City Department, it is impossible to take such a living person out in full view of the public.
"Is nothing else going on in prison?" Jiang Chengyi repeatedly confirmed.
The prisoner shook his head and said affirmatively: "The villain dared not slacken. He kept staring at it... There was nothing wrong with it. I don't know how... he actually let the thief succeed."
At this time, another prisoner said, "The villain remembered something... After Mrs. Wang left, Chen Wu, who was convicted of robbery and murder in the southern prison, was given poisonous wine and died of poison... Before Su Ren was executed, he was carried out in a straw mat."
"Chen Wu?" Jiang Chengyi murmured, raised his head and asked, "In the southeast alley, I broke into the house in the middle of the night and killed a couple?"
The jailer nodded and said, "Not bad."
Jiang Chengyi said with a strange face: "I remember... he was not sentenced to poison wine? Who was the one who executed it?"
The prison guard was shocked and said, "Don't you know? Yuan Fu, the subordinate of Lord Xue of the Censorate, came to judge him personally... The villain thought he was instructed by you..."
Jiang Chengyi: "I'm instructing it? In the past three days, I haven't stepped into the East Prefecture Department and the Censorate. How can I instruct this matter? Besides... there is still something strange about the Chen Wuyi case. It has not been completely determined that he is the murderer. Where did Yuan Fu get the order to come and give the punishment of poisoning wine?"
When the jailers heard this question, they shook their heads, looking pale, fearing that they were shocked.
He was so surprised that he was born in the Shui Pavilion, with a innocent family, and his ancestors were not a family of officials. Although he was not as capable as Xue Qing, he was also a good at investigating cases. He was the one who could let him go, so he was brought into the capital by him and A Luo. Now that he heard about this, Jiang Chengyi was only frightened. Could it be that Yuan Fu was the one who was placed in the Dongfu Department by Deng?
No, no, it is absolutely impossible.
