Chapter XXXV
In late June of the twentieth year of Jiajing, a major case broke out in Long'an Mansion in Sichuan Province, and Dong Zhikun, the supervisor of Wuji Academy, was taken into custody by Xizhenwu Palace, and at the same time, Dong Zhikun was detained several relatives, businessmen with close contacts, as well as a total of 13 people such as the account office and the owner of Wuji Yuan.
After nearly a month of interrogation in Xizhenwu Palace, it was finally confirmed that Dong Zhikun's case involved a total of crimes such as embezzlement of hospital property, loss of income, forced purchase and sale, and acceptance of heavy bribes, and the losses caused to Wuji Court were nearly 30,000 taels of silver, of which Dong Zhikun's own profit reached more than 16,700 taels.
On July 3, Dong Zhikun hanged himself in the prison cell of the Fangtang of the Xizhenwu Palace, and the case was transferred to the Long'an Mansion for further trial and conclusion, and the people involved in the case were sentenced to beheading and flowing for 3,000 miles.
Jiang Zhiheng was beheaded, but his family was taken by Zhao Ran to Junshan for resettlement and was saved from displacement, which was a condition for Jiang Zhiheng to agree to appear in court to refute evidence, and Zhao Ran kept his promise to take care of the Jiang family of thirteen.
As for Dong Zhikun's collusion with bandits to harm Junshan, after a detailed interrogation by the Xizhenwu Palace, there was no substantiated evidence, and he was convicted of false accusations.
Afterwards, Guan Er found Jin Jiu, he had a lot of puzzles, and he needed Jin Jiu, a son from a famous criminal family, to solve his doubts.
"Lord, this case is really strange, I can't figure it out. ”
Jin Jiu smiled and asked, "What don't you understand?"
"Obviously, it was Dong Zhikun who colluded with the three uglies of Qionglai to harm the people of my Junshan, why was he convicted of corruption?"
"Dong Zhikun colluded with Qionglai Sanchou, in addition to Feng Tang, are there any other witnesses and physical evidence?"
"This ...... Not at all...... But we all know that this matter is true, and if we interrogate it well, we will definitely make Dong Zhikun spit out!"
"Second Brother Guan, this matter is not true, you must remember it carefully, this is a false accusation, whether it is Xizhenwu Palace or Long'an Mansion, the result of the trial is a false accusation!"
"How can it be a false accusation?" Guan Er was anxious and said: "Jiang Zhiheng has said that he spent two thousand silver, and asked Qionglai Sanchou to make a move......
"There is no evidence! And Jiang Zhiheng didn't say this, Second Brother Guan, you must remember that Jiang Zhiheng never said this!"
"This ......" Guan Er looked at Jin Jiu, who had a firm tone, suspiciously, and asked again: "Then how did Qionglai Sangu die?
Jin Jiu smiled: "The three uglies of Qionglai have done a lot of evil, and there are enemies who come to seek revenge, this is normal, and it has nothing to do with this case!"
Guan Er was not angry and said: "Because of the three ugliness of Qionglai, several of the people of my Junshan have died, won't this revenge be avenged?"
Jin Jiu asked: "Second Brother Guan, then how do you want to take revenge?"
Guan Er said categorically: "It is necessary to punish Dong Zhikun and Jiang Zhiheng and then quickly!"
Jin Jiu said: "Dong Zhikun and Jiang Zhiheng have been ambushed, and their revenge has been avenged." ”
"Dong Zhikun hanged himself...... And how could a person like him hang himself?"
"Hanging yourself is also a way to die!"
"Anyway...... I don't know if it's white......"
"This case is very clear and clear, Feng Tang is a false accusation, Dong Zhikun and others did not collude with Qionglai Sangu, their case is corruption, it's that simple. ”
Jin Jiu answered Guan Er's questions, but he also had his own questions: Since he only wanted to punish Dong Zhikun and others for corruption cases, why did he let Feng Tang go to Xizhenwu Palace to take the lead?
Zhao Ran attached great importance to his own actual executor of the Junshan Temple's sermons, and after thinking about it, he decided to tell him part of the truth.
"The three uglies of Qionglai were indeed not killed by Dong Zhikun and Jiang Zhiheng, don't ask about the details behind it, to be honest, I haven't fully figured it out. The corruption case is Dong Zhikun's crime, but if it doesn't start from the Tang Dynasty, I don't know whether Dong Zhikun's corruption charge can be determined. ”
"I see, Miao Zhu is a scare snake?"
"Yes, it's just a corruption case, if some people want to protect Dong Zhikun, there are a lot of hands and feet that can be used here, if we want to convict Dong Zhikun, we must throw out the matter of Qionglai Sangu and hand over Feng Tang, this is an exchange. So Dong Zhikun died, faster than we thought. ”
Jin Jiu asked, "That Tang ...... Can you still live?"
Zhao Ran knew the answer in his heart, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he just shook his head: "I don't know, it depends on the meaning above." It also depends on the ...... of his creation."
Jin Jiu sighed: "It's a pity, such a big case ......"
Zhao Ran said: "There is no pity, the process of struggle is often accompanied by compromise, as long as the result meets our expectations, it is enough." ”
With the detonation of Dong Zhikun's case, the current vacancy situation of Wuji Academy is relatively serious, and Xizhenwu Palace specially issued a letter asking Wuji Academy to fill the Taoist position as soon as possible, and candidates will be selected from within this court.
After receiving the official document, Wuji Yuan immediately convened the Sandu Council to discuss the nomination of several important Taoist positions, and for this reason, Zhao Ran made a special trip back to Wuji Mountain.
The participants in the deliberations of the three capitals are the prison and the three capitals, as well as the inspectors, Gao Gong and Zhike, of which the former has the right to make decisions on the deliberations, and the latter three deacons can only observe and accept inquiries.
When Liu Zhiguang rushed to the Sanqing Palace, the three capitals had already arrived, Zhu Dushu was the oldest and sat in the middle, Zhao Ran and Yuan Duchu sat on the left and right, and Chen Zhizhong, a knowledgeable guest, stood next to him.
Because Zhao Ran is also the two Taoist positions of capital management and knowledge, there are only these five people in today's Sandu meeting.
Zhao Ran coughed lightly and said, "Everyone is here, let's start the discussion." As you all know, the West Zhenwu Palace has written down, and the several positions that are currently vacant in the Wuji Academy need to be nominated by us and reported to the West Zhenwu Palace. First of all, the prison, do you have any suggestions?"
Liu Zhiguang preemptively said: "For the post of prison, I thought it was none other than Zhao Duguan." Over the years, Zhao Duguan has been in our Wuji Courtyard by the fire worker, as a quiet master, a square master, a temple Zhu, and now with the respect of the capital, and a knowing guest, whether it is experience or talent, it is obvious to all, Zhao Duguan is the prison hospital, and the Wuji Courtyard will be convinced. ”
Chen Zhizhong was also busy saying: "Zhao Duguan has a good reputation, and he keeps Junshan Temple in good order, and after taking over the prison in the future, my colleagues in Wuji Academy will definitely usher in greater prosperity under the leadership of Zhao Duguan." ”
Zhao Ran smiled and said, "I appreciate the kindness of the two, but I am indeed not a suitable candidate for the prison." ”
Liu Zhiguang and Chen Zhizhong were both shocked: "Where did Zhao Duguan come from?
Zhao Ran waved his hand: "Listen to me." In addition to being the capital of Wuji Temple, I also have an identity, I am the Taoist of Huayun Pavilion. To do Taoist walking, you must often go out, slay demons and subdue demons, and deter lawlessness. There are a lot of trivial matters in the prison and a lot of general affairs, which will greatly distract me, and I don't have that much time to deal with them. So I am not suitable to serve as a prison officer, and I am not deliberately avoiding suspicion, but it is the truth. ”
"This ......" Liu Zhiguang and Chen Zhizhong looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
I only heard Zhao Ran continue: "My opinion, I ask the three capitals to discuss and nominate Senior Brother Liu Zhiguang as the candidate for the public recommendation of the prison court, I don't know what you think?"
Liu Zhiguang couldn't believe his ears, and a burst of ecstasy surged in his heart, and he was stunned for a moment.
