Chapter 657
The Ministry of Justice did not make any statement, but first transferred the sect file sent by Jingzhao Mansion to verify it, and found that Yu Wenhao had killed the butcher. In other words, Yu Wenhao sentenced the wrong case.
Before the emperor could report this matter to the emperor, it spread in the capital first, and the butcher suddenly became a pitiful victim for everyone. His wife suffered humiliation after stealing people, and was finally killed as a murderer.
The Chu Prince's Mansion was really unlucky, which aroused public anger again and again. Although the incident of the Crown Princess going to the Mafeng Mountain before calmed down, I don't know what happened. Because the Crown Prince's wrong judgment was made, he has now been brought up for comment.
Everyone believes that the prince made military achievements in his early years and was famous. He was in charge of Jingzhao Mansion for so long, and he never had any wrongful cases. Now he has misjudged the butcher and killed the wrong good man. It must be because the princess went to the mountain of leprosy and was infected with bad luck. The prince is the foundation of the country and has now affected the prince. So who can know what will happen next?
Therefore, the emperor had not asked for any crime, and the people started to make trouble.
Let’s make a fuss. But I don’t know what happened, but it was reported that Wang An was a virtuous person to inherit the throne. It would be fine if it was just a few times. But even the people went to the streets of the imperial city and shouted that the emperor would depose the crown prince and enthrone the crown prince.
When Gu Si brought people out to arrest them, the clamoring people scattered. Gu Si only caught one person and took them back for a strict interrogation. The man was tortured but asked for confessions that someone had given money and instructed them to go to the streets of the Imperial City to make a fuss, saying that the emperor and civil and military ministers could hear the public opinion.
As for the person who gave the money, he was a woman who looked very beautiful.
Gu Si naturally reported to Emperor Mingyuan. Emperor Mingyuan was furious and slapped the table, "Public opinion? Haven't I heard enough of public opinion recently?"
Chu Shoufu said next to him: "The emperor calms down. Recently, there seems to be someone instructing him to lead the people behind several troubles. Especially the incident of the Crown Princess going to the Mafeng Mountain, the people have caused a lot of controversy, and they dare to attack the Crown Princess at the door of the Chu Palace. Moreover, they were originally called King Huai Xianneng, so they should have established King Huai. Now they say that King An Xianneng is to establish King An. According to the old minister, this person should have deliberately disturbed the Northern Tang Dynasty and shaken the foundation of the country. They need to strictly investigate to rectify the unhealthy trends and calm the people's hearts."
Emperor Mingyuan was still angry, "The fifth brother is also ridiculous. Recently, there have been so many cases in Beijing, and none of them have been solved. Are there all the fools who are just having fun?"
Chu Shoufu said: "The case was solved, but the civil troubles were caused by this. Yesterday, the prince executed the murderer of the case. However, someone went to the Ministry of Justice to surrender, saying that he was the real murderer. But before the memorial of the Ministry of Justice was brought to the old minister, it was publicized. When the people heard that they had wrong wrong cases, they all complained to him and condemned the prince. The rioters who shouted that Prince An would be the prince were mixed with this group of people who were causing trouble."
Emperor Mingyuan frowned, "What happened? Did the Ministry of Justice verify it? Is the person who surrendered himself the murderer?"
“It’s still under investigation.”
Emperor Mingyuan said angrily: "Since it has not been verified yet, why did it spread? If that person is not the murderer, it will be doubtful if it is spread. How could the Ministry of Justice let the case be leaked?"
Chu Shoufu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. The old minister will ask clearly. Tomorrow is the sun, and I believe the Ministry of Justice will report this case in the palace."
"You go and stare and be sure to find out the truth." Emperor Mingyuan said.
"Yes!" The chief assistant stepped back.
After leaving the palace, the chief appraiser went straight to the Ministry of Justice and together with the Minister of Justice, he tried the suspect who surrendered himself.
The suspect is Rong Guichun. He was originally from Baixi. He looks tall and fierce.
He confessed to the fact of the crime, saying that his wife was killed by him. After killing her wife, she fled to the capital and became a chef in the restaurant. He rented a house, right next to the butcher. When he knew that the butcher's wife had an affair with the widower, he remembered the fact that his wife betrayed him. He was angry and killed the two of them. After the killing, he was afraid and threw the bloody murderer, the weapon and the bloody clothes at the butcher's house, causing the illusion of the butcher's wife to kill his wife, and then escaped to hide.
But after he went out, he felt guilty when he thought of having the butcher's favor, so he hurried back to Beijing to surrender, but it was already one step late. The butcher had been sentenced to beheading by Jingzhao Mansion.
He could clearly explain the facts and details of the murder, and it seemed that he was undoubtedly the murderer.
After the interrogation of the Ministry of Justice, Shangshu Sun asked someone to take the murderer down, and then bowed to the minister Chu, "Sincere, I personally participated in the interrogation of this case. According to you, is the prince wrongly judged?"
Shangshu Sun was two months old and was originally the deputy envoy of salt and iron. Later, he was recommended to the Ministry of Justice and served as the Minister of Justice, which was considered as the ascension.
He was very decisive and had been fighting several murders in Beijing since he had committed several consecutive murders. He tried his best to urge Jingzhao Mansion to solve the case and let Jingzhao Mansion solve the case within a specified period of time, which was also his order.
Chu Shoufu looked through the case's case several times and said in a deep voice: "The confession of this person and the facts of the murder case can match, and the details of the murder are almost the same as the investigation results. It seems that he is undoubtedly the murderer."
Shangshu Sun said: "Since that's the case, the Xiaguan will start the report tomorrow. In addition to reporting the case, he must also participate in the crown prince's book. Will the Chief Minister jointly participate with the Xiaguan?"
Shoufu Chu looked at Sun Shangshu's face that was eager for quick success and instant benefits and said, "Mr. Sun, just report this case. If you report this case, it doesn't matter whether you participate or not, the emperor will decide."
Sun Shangshu said righteously: "The officials thought that the case was brought to justice. The case was found to be the case and only the murderer was put to justice. However, His Highness the Crown Prince misjudged the case and killed innocent people in vain. As the prefect of Jingzhao and the parents of the people, the crown prince was so careless and the chief minister should not sit idly by."
Shoufu Chu said: "If you want to submit a memorial, you don't have to go to the court tomorrow. You can go to the cabinet first and then submit it to the emperor, so that you can also take care of the prince's face."
Sun Shangshu said, "The officials thought there was no need to do anything extra. Since they would report this case tomorrow, why not just write it directly? Moreover, the officials believed that the face of the prince was of course important, but it was more important than not being able to live."
The chief minister said lightly: "Then you just report it. I am ordered to investigate the case. I will only inform the emperor about the truth. As for those who participate or not, Lord Sun will do it."
After saying that, he asked someone to copy a copy of the case and left.
He did not go to the palace to report, but went directly to Jingzhao Mansion to find Yuwen Hao.
Yu Wenhao didn't know that the storm was coming, so he still worked overtime in Jingzhao Prefecture to investigate the remaining cases. Seeing the prime minister coming, he welcomed him in and served him in tea.
The chief minister threw the case copied from the Ministry of Justice to him, "Look at it, the murderer confessed."
Yu Wenhao recruited the official secretary and looked at the case file together.
The chief assistant gently tapped the table with the back of his hand and said, "Tomorrow's morning, the prince must be mentally prepared. Shangshu Sun is looking for someone to join you."
Yu Wenhao blinked his eyes, "What's the solution? He's cute and always misses many people."
