The most paradoxical thing about the "stabbing horse case" is not the case itself, but the investigation and handling of the case. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Tian Lai Novel.2

After the arrest of the murderer Zhang Wenxiang, he never started to execute him from beginning to end -- this is extremely abnormal.

The reason put on the table is that such a vicious person, since he dares to commit such a heinous crime in broad daylight, he naturally has long had the idea of death, and it is useless to beat it lightly; Hit hard, I'm afraid that I will die in prison - he is the No. 1 serious offender, if so, up and down, in all aspects, how can I explain the past? Hehe, my brother also knows, I don't know how many people are looking at him and sealing his mouth!

Zhang Zhiwan, the governor of Caoyun, and Kuiyu, the general of Jiangning, who presided over the interrogation, both advocated such a proposition.

Sun Yiyan, the acting secretary of the triage, and Yuan Baoqing, the general manager of the camp office, disagreed, and argued on the basis of reason: Since "it is useless to fight lightly", then if you don't fight, it will be even more useless! The murderer is cunning, he doesn't need to be punished, how can he spit out a word of truth just by relying on soft grinding?

Ahem, the murderer is not afraid of death, even if he is punished heavily, it may not work......

Otherwise! It is certain that the murderer has the idea of death, but, owl, it is a matter of a blink of an eye; Although Ling Chi was hard, it was only a moment's effort, and it was over after a while. The big punishment is different! Repeated investigations, no matter how cunning the murderer is, he will inevitably collapse one day! A pair of clamping sticks and three horizontal logs seem to be ordinary, but how many heroes and heroes, on the execution ground, with white blades and necks, are free-spirited, but under the three woods, they ask what and say what!

Ahem, you still have to act cautiously, you can't survive the punishment, you can't bite indiscriminately, what can you do?

……

Zhang Zhiwan and Kuiyu opposed the execution, in addition to worrying that they would become Ma Xinyi's second, compared to Sun Yiyan and Yuan Baoqing, after all, they "stand tall and see far" - they really asked the mastermind behind the scenes, but what should they do with him? It's really at that time, it's called "what to do"!

In this way, it has been talked about the "people from the central government" - Zheng Dunjin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the most important one: Zeng Disheng, who returned to Liangjiang.

In addition, I don't know if it's a coincidence: Zheng Dunjin is a native of Xiangxiang - not only a native of Hunan, but also a fellow villager of Zeng Guofan.

As soon as the "stabbing horse case" came out, Cixi and King Gong knew that Zeng Guofan had to be sent back to Liangjiang -- no one except him could settle the situation in Liangjiang.

Zeng Guofan's return to Liangjiang was a clear signal: the imperial court had succumbed to the Hunan system.

From then on, until the abdication of the Qing Emperor, Liangjiang never broke away from the control of the Hunan system.

Since Zeng Guofan returned to Liangjiang and presided over the trial of the "horse assassination case," there was no behind-the-scenes mastermind of the murderer, and there would be no suspense -- in the end, Zeng Guofan and Zheng Dunjin jointly played a concert, saying that Ma Xinyi was strict in dealing with pirates, and that Zhang Wenxiang and the pirates had always colluded and provoked him, so he assassinated Ma Xinyi to vent his anger.

The most important sentence is, "There is no master to make another feeling." ”

Zhang Wenxiang "rebelled against him, executed Ling Chi, and sacrificed his heart", which can be regarded as an explanation to Ma Xinyi.

Regarding the closure of the case, Sun Yiyan and Yuan Baoqing were angry and resolutely refused to sign it.

Zheng Dunjin, the other chief judge of the "stabbing horse case," did something that no official of his level had ever done in the 200 years of the Qing Dynasty: As soon as the case was closed, he immediately fell ill and hung up his crown, and without waiting for the permission of the imperial court or returning to Beijing to resume his life, he directly returned to his hometown in Xiangxiang, Hunan from Jiangning.

It is conceivable that although Zheng Dunjin is from Hunan, he is forced to speak against his will and feel guilty to what extent.

The case of the assassination of the horse, from top to bottom, and the twists and turns of the seams, prove one thing: The mastermind behind the murderer must be a figure who the imperial court cannot and dare not commit a serious crime -- in addition to the fact that he himself cannot be convicted of a serious crime, the forces he represents are even more incapable of and dare not turn against the imperial court.

In this way, who is the mastermind behind this is about to come out.

Guan Zhuofan thought that there were two of the most suspects, one was Zeng Guoquan and the other was Huang Yisheng.

In the Hunan system, Zeng Guoquan's status is naturally higher than Huang Yisheng, but Zeng Laojiu still has a certain "political consciousness", if he really wants to do such a thing, he will not discuss it with his brother, and his brother will definitely not agree, so that most of the plans will not succeed.

Therefore, pick and pull, pick and pull, Huang Yisheng is the most suspicious.

If Zhao Jingxian went to Jiangning to take office, he was brave with the stragglers of the Hunan army, such as Ma Xinyizhi, who "caught the flail of the flail, the staff of the staff, the cane of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Zheng model", then it is impossible to rule out the possibility of following Ma Xinyi's mistakes, and this possibility is still very large.

As mentioned earlier, the situation in Jiangning, the first year of Hongxu in this time and space, is not substantially different from the eight years of Tongzhi in the original time and space.

The difference is the contrast of the forces at the disposal of the two sides.

The Hunan army has been repeatedly dismantled, and the force on the table is negligible compared to the Xuan army.

However, absolute force does not mean absolute security.

How did Ma Xinyi die? He trained several battalions of recruits in Jiangning, and that day, after a routine school parade, walked back to the office - the school field was the arrow road to the west of the department, almost a door away from the governor's office. Just as Ma Xinyi was about to enter the west gate of the agency, Zhang Wenxiang suddenly flashed out and stabbed Ma in the chest.

On one side is the school field, on the other side is the governor's office, and there are a number of armed retinues such as the deputy general of the superintendent of the Chinese army, the herald, and Goshha, can the customs be tighter? I can't resist the blow of Bo Lang from someone with a heart!

Zhang Wenxiang and his person, if you think about it carefully, are really a creepy character.

The swiftness of the skill is still secondary, the key is that this is like death, and the thinking is shocking!

This "death" is not as simple as "leading the neck quickly"; if he goes to the execution ground, he will be cut by a thousand knives, and it is the most painful way to die -- this layer, when Zhang Wenxiang was ordered, must have been clear.

Moreover, in this case, the murderer must have a solid confession, and he must be punished clearly before it can be concluded, and only then can he be regarded as having a leisurely mouth to stop the world, so after Zhang Wenxiang was arrested, he could not commit suicide or die of exhaustion -- Zhang Zhiwan and Kuiyu's worries were simply too worried, because the mastermind behind the murderer did not want to "kill people and kill his mouth" at all -- Zhang Wenxiang had to go to the execution ground and endure the extremely painful "fish scales." At this level, at the beginning of his order, he should have also understood.

Also, although Zhang Wenxiang was not actually sentenced, it is conceivable that in advance, whether it was Zhang Wenxiang himself or the mastermind behind the scenes, they were sure enough that Zhang Wenxiang would be able to withstand the investigation and grinding of the punishment.

Isn't it shocking to be able to find such a person, to do it, to die, and to be the mastermind behind it?

Guan Zhuofan himself can't help but weigh up: If I want to do the same thing, can I find the same person?

We must admit a fact: Although the Hunan army has been dismantled, at least in the Jiangning area, the power of the Hunan system is still extremely deep.

However, seriously speaking, the current Hunan system, which can really call the wind and rain and make arms like a heart, is only Jiangning.

If the Yangtze River is the boundary, Jiangsu can be roughly divided into Jiangnan, Jiangbei, or southern Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu; On this basis, the situation in Jiangsu was originally divided into two:

Most of southern Jiangsu - Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Suzhou, Taicang, and Songjiang - were under the jurisdiction of the governor of Jiangsu, and were the sphere of influence of the Xuan system; Northern Jiangsu -- Xuzhou, Haizhou, Huai'an, Yangzhou, Tongzhou, and Jiangning in southern Jiangsu -- were under the direct jurisdiction of the Liangjiang Governor and were the sphere of influence of the Hunan system.

Ixan's killing of Li Shizhong not only opened the prelude to the rectification of the two Huai salt affairs, but also started from Anhui, and began to cut off the outer forces of the Hunan system without showing mountains and water; After that, Zhao Jingxian led the Xuan army to settle in Yangzhou, and the two Huai salt affairs were rectified and officially launched.

Zhao Jingxian, with the support of Guan Zhuofan, made bold and resolute moves, and in the past two years, in addition to the effective rectification of salt affairs itself, the imperial court, or the Xuan system, also took advantage of the salt rectification to actually recover the "lost land" north of Yangzhou from the hands of the Hunan system.

With the continuous shrinking of the territory, the Hunan lineage, especially the descendants of Zeng Guofan, has actually accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction with the imperial court, the Xuan lineage, and Guan Zhuofan and Zhao Jingxian themselves.
