Chapter 433: Raid on Shuzhou (Third Watch)
Now Chu Xian is almost certain that Zheng Guanjie from Shuzhou must be the mastermind behind the calculation of himself, of course, he may not be alone, there are also accomplices.
The reason why it was determined that it was him was not only because of this case, but also because Zheng Guanjie's backer was Yang Zhenqing from Jingzhou.
In other words, Zheng Guanjie is an official of the Yang family.
In this way, it is easy to figure out what is going on, the other party is afraid that he has already secretly buried this move, and knowing that he is also going to join the competition for the middle of the matter, Zheng Guanjie obviously feels the crisis.
And he just happened to have such a move, so he reported to Yang Zhenqing, and the two of them hit it off and decided to attack themselves from this matter.
Of course, strictly speaking, even if the Shuzhou tragedy seven years ago was a miscalculation, and it was not verified when he went to the Criminal Division, and the unjust, false and wrongful case was confirmed, Chu Xian's actual responsibility is very small, at most a few words of criticism, but obviously, this matter broke out at this juncture, and it will definitely affect his own competition for Zhonglang, and when the time comes, the opponent can talk about this matter, which is equivalent to eliminating himself from this competitor.
Coupled with the historical grievances between the Yang family and himself, Chu Xian is already seventy or eighty percent sure of this matter.
Not only will it affect his own competition for official positions, but for Kong Qian, it will be a lot of trouble.
As the chief magistrate of the main examination of the year, he can say that he was not the one who handled the affairs of the year, and he can shirk the responsibility, but Kong Qian has no way to shirk it.
Because this matter is what he has examined.
There is no problem in the trial, which is of course the fault of a magistrate, especially if this is an unjust, false and wrongful case, then the person who died unjustly is innocent, involving the life of an innocent person, for a person like Kong Qian, who regards human life as heavy as the sky, the blow is too great.
Again, no one is perfect, and everyone has times when they make mistakes, so Chu Xian came this time, not only to make the opponent's plan to attack him fail, but also to help Kong Qian solve a trouble.
Of course, the specifics will have to be understood after the situation.
After Chu Xian, the chief magistrate of the Jingzhou Criminal Division, arrived in Shuzhou, he naturally alarmed this place, the place where this tragedy occurred was not the city where Zheng Guanjie was located, but another city, after Chu Xian went, the city order of the city government still didn't believe it, thinking it was a swaggering liar, but after seeing Chu Xian's official talisman, he was frightened, and hurriedly saluted, and even this fifty-year-old official spoke a little unfavorably.
This is normal, he is only the sixth grade, Chu Xian is the fifth grade, at the official level, that can crush the other party, and what does Chu Xian do?
The chief magistrate of the Criminal Prosecution Department has the power to supervise criminal cases in various places, and if he says something unpleasant, Chu Xian's position can easily rectify the officials in some places, so just find a few ways to make them cry without tears.
After knowing what case Chu Xian wanted to know, the government order immediately called all the officials in the government and the documents, and finally checked and figured it out.
"In this case, the lower officials knew that it was known all over the city back then, and it was a rich family who died, saying that their long-term worker was greedy for money, so he killed the family, and later caught this long-term worker, although the other party did not admit guilt, but because the evidence was conclusive, he was sentenced to death. The decree said.
These are basically the same as those described in the dossier.
But Chu Xian knew that there was something wrong with this case, so he immediately said: "The file says that the deceased was killed by crushing his neck bone with his hands, which shows that the murderer who committed the murder practiced martial arts, at least a master of finger and claw kung fu, but the long worker you convicted, his hands were injured, and it was no problem to do some carving and doing some work that did not work, but to say that he could kill people with his bare hands, and he also crushed people's neck bones, this is an exaggeration, this matter is simply an unjust case." ”
Hearing this, Nafu Ling was stunned, and the sweat on his head came down: "My lord, this, this won't be, the file didn't say that the long-term worker has a disability." ”
"I didn't write it, if I did, I would have found out the problem a long time ago, and it was because I didn't write it, so I got through the confusion, but I didn't write it at the time, it doesn't mean that this matter can be covered up. Think about it, further along, are there any cases related to that long worker?" Chu Xian asked.
The government commander was stunned and didn't react for a while.
Chu Xian slapped the table and paralyzed the other party to the ground: "Let me remind you, two years before the extermination case, there were bandits who robbed and killed pedestrians all the way, and someone survived at that time, but he was injured in the arm, that person's name is exactly the same as the Changgong you said, but the surname of this Changgong is very special, he is a citizen of another state, there is almost no second family in your local area, so it can be proved that it is the same person, just ask, so even the bandits can't beat it, and the person who was seriously injured, how could it be possible to pinch the rich businessman's family to death with his bare hands?"
This reprimand, Nafu Ling was speechless, and trembled with fright.
He knew the inside story of the case back then.
Because the dead person has some energy, so the above has been urging very tightly, and in the local area, there is no clue to investigate the case, so after suspecting this long-term worker, they bent into a trick, and finally convicted this poor man, and beheaded him after being imprisoned for half a month, which can be said to be a wrongful death.
Originally, this case was sent to the Criminal Division for examination, and the government order was afraid that it would see the clues, but the result was not, after all, in the file, it was said that the evidence was conclusive, and the magistrates in Jingzhou could not see the situation thousands of miles away, and could only understand it through the file, so how they wrote it, how to characterize this matter.
Who would have thought that after so many years, it would still be the East Window Incident, and the clues would be detected.
Of course, this decree is afraid, and he is mainly responsible for this matter.
The other party still had to speak, Chu Xian directly ordered the black sword guard to take down this government order, not only this government order, but all the people involved in the case back then were controlled.
The thirty black sword guards and Chu San brought by Chu Xian are here to do this.
With them there, there is no need to use the local officials here to arrest them quickly, the black knife guards will take the people, surprise the first trial, the problem is quickly implemented, and it is in black and white, how they are in order to cope with the urging of the officials above, how to bend into tricks, how to create false evidence, that is all said.
This matter seemed to be figured out, but Chu Xian felt that it was not enough.
The real culprit hasn't been caught yet.
So, Chu Xian re-examined the confession and corpse book at that time, and it only took half a day to lock down the real culprit of the big murder case that year.
The murderer was actually the son-in-law of this wealthy businessman.
This son-in-law was also the only survivor of the family back then, but because he was a son-in-law, not his own family, he said that he was destroyed, and this person's wife also died, and later remarried his wife.
This person's motive for killing is also very simple, he can't stand the anger of his mother's family, because he has no ability to do it himself, and he always wants his mother's family to help.
When he killed someone, he was also impulsive, and he was extremely scared when he did the case, and tried his best to cover it up, who would have thought that it was such a simple case, and no one suspected him, or rather, he was better at acting, so he was so fooled and let the long-term worker of his mother's family be a substitute for the dead.
Later, this person felt that the matter had passed for so long, so he relaxed his vigilance, and actually used the property stolen from his mother's house to sell it, and then bought a family business and remarried his wife.
The property he stole before, he didn't dare to move, and it was hidden in the cellar of his family, Chu Xian sent the black knife guard to search, and a person came directly to get all the stolen goods, plus that person already had a ghost in his heart, so he confessed directly.
In other words, after Chu Xian came, it took less than a day to find out this unsolved case seven years ago, not only to return justice to the unjustly deceased, but also to arrest the real murderer.
The matter spread quickly in the local area, and many people came to see the excitement, and some were even more grateful to Chu Xian, especially knowing that this young adult was the model of the literati of the Holy Dynasty, and after compiling the two hand-me-down works, there were even more people who came to see it.
After hearing that this legendary figure actually took less than half a day to find out the unjust case seven years ago, many people naturally applauded.
This time, the officials involved will naturally be unlucky, but these things are not handled by Chu Xian, and there is a special imperial history to investigate and deal with these officials.
Chu Xian dealt with the aftermath in the shortest possible time, successfully resolved the matter, and then revised the file, and then rushed back to Jingzhou.
This time back and forth, Chu Xian's speed can be said to be quite fast, and because Chu Xian used the Qiankun magic array, the situation in Shuzhou could not be transmitted in a short time.
In this matter, Chu Xian will not make any other moves.
Speaking of using these means to attack competitors, Chu Xian can't look down on it, any means of stepping on people's superiors seems to be clever, but in fact, it is a fundamental strategy.
Because, this is tantamount to treating Shangguan as a fool.
Maybe you can't see the drawbacks in a short time, but after a long time, there will definitely be, in addition, they are all things that can't be put on the table, and it's nothing to use them once or twice, but if you use them too much, Shangguan will think that this person will only play with conspiracies, such a person can be used, but he will definitely not be able to do a high position.
That is to say, this kind of person may be able to go up to the fifth grade, or even the fourth grade, but the third grade, don't think about it, as for the position of the Shoufu Pavilion, it is even more fantastical, even if it is a person like Yang Zhenqing, it is impossible to choose this kind of person to enter the Shoufu Pavilion.
