Sui and Tang Dynasties: Killing Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to sacrifice to heaven at the beginni

Chapter 390 Compete with each other.

Daxing City.

The Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

Cui Jin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, was drinking tea in the lobby of the yamen, when the doctor sent to Anyuan County came in from the outside.

"The one named Zhang Dali, should the interrogation be over?"

"Is there a master messenger behind the scenes?" Cui Jin asked before the doctor of the Ministry of punishment could speak.

Logically speaking, not to mention the case of the death of one person, even the case of the death of ten people, there is no need for Cui Jin, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, to intervene in person.

However, the person who died this time was a member of their powerful family.The stolen gold is the monthly money that should be handed over to them.

Since it is related to the matter of a powerful family, then this small matter has become a major matter.This Zhang Dali must be severely punished.

If Zhang Dali is not severely punished, wouldn't anyone who is poor in the future have to rob them?
Hearing Cui Jin's question, the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment suddenly looked embarrassed, and cold sweat oozes from his forehead.

"Report to my lord, there is no trial yet!" The doctor of the Ministry of punishment replied bravely.

"Well, it's okay to bring it back to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation!" Cui Jin said lightly.

"My lord, didn't you bring it back?" the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment replied bravely.

Hearing this, Cui Jin was stunned, he was not interrogated, and he was not brought back.Then why did you go on a public trip, right?
"What's going on?" Cui Jin asked with a straight face.

"My lord, that's the case." The doctor of the Ministry of punishment explained the matter of Qin Qiong's robbery.

After hearing what his subordinates said, Cui Jin couldn't help showing a trace of thoughtful expression on his face.

"Li Mu's people?"

"Could it be that Li Mu is the one who instigated Zhang Dali behind this scene?" Cui Jin thought.

However, turning around, Cui Jin dismissed this idea again.

It is impossible for Li Mu to resort to such a stupid trick, instructing a person to kill a shopkeeper of a powerful family and take away the monthly money of a rice shop, which is not necessary at all.

Li Mutang is a general, there is absolutely no need to do such a trivial thing for a powerful family.

Since it is impossible for Li Mu to instigate, then there is only one possibility for this matter.It was after the incident that Li Mu had the idea of ​​protecting Zhang Dali.

What is the purpose of protecting this Zhang Dali? Naturally, it is to discredit the powerful family.

I want to protect the people that your aristocratic family wants to kill. As long as I, Li Mu, are around, your aristocratic family can't even kill a commoner?

After thinking about it, Cui Jin felt that this guess was the closest to the truth.

The purpose of the powerful family is to let this Zhang Dali die.Zhang Dali's death is the only way to scare the chickens and monkeys and deter the common people.

Since this is the case, then there is no need to fight hard with Li Mu, as long as Li Mu kills Zhang Dali.

Zhang Dali's death is the goal, as long as the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter who dies in the hands of.

"Since Li Mu's people say that Zhang Dali has embezzled the military pay, let them investigate first. Embezzling 3000 taels of military pay, this is about death."

"In this way, from today onwards, you will use the name of the Criminal Department to send official documents to the Tiance Army to urge the Tiance Army to handle the case all day long."

"Tell them that after finishing their own case, we will also handle our case."

"Remember, everything should be done in accordance with the laws of the Great Sui Dynasty, so that the people of the Tiance Army can't find any faults." Cui Jin urged.

Although the military is more important than civil affairs, according to the laws of the Sui Dynasty, the Tiance Army tried Zhang Dali first.However, this does not mean that the case of the Criminal Ministry will not be handled.

After Tiance Army tried the case, the Ministry of Criminal Justice had to continue the trial, and then the two crimes were combined.Therefore, according to the laws of the Sui Dynasty, Li Mu could keep Zhang Dali for a while, but he couldn't keep him forever.

Even, if Li Mu procrastinated for a long time and did not give an answer to the Ministry of Punishment, Cui Jin could still impeach Li Mu for a crime of dereliction of duty.

"Yes, my lord!" The doctor of the Ministry of punishment left.

"Hmph, I want to see how you, Li Mu, can protect him!" Cui Jin snorted coldly.

Talk about both sides.

After Qin Qiong brought Zhang Dali and his wife back, Li Mu arranged for the couple to work as servants in the mansion.

Although Zhang Dali accidentally killed someone, he was still an ordinary citizen oppressed by a powerful family.In other words, these people who help powerful families to oppress the common people, even if they die ten times, they will not panic a hundred times.

After seven days.

Daxing City, half of the palace.

"General, the Ministry of Punishment has sent someone to send documents again, and it has been seven days in a row. If you don't give them an answer, I'm afraid Cui Jin will impeach you!" Qin Qiong reported to Li Mu.

"General, you are a good man. You pay for your life if you kill someone, so you hand me over. I can't implicate you."

"If my daughter-in-law can be a servant in the general's mansion and raise my son, I will be satisfied."

As Zhang Dali said, he kneeled on the ground and kowtowed to Li Mu. After he finished kowtowing, he pulled his son and said, "My son, remember, it was the general who saved our family. When you grow up, you will be a cow and a horse." You have to repay the general."

"Dali, I'm a great general, the prince of the Sui Dynasty, can't I keep you?"

"Since I said I want to protect you, I will definitely be able to protect you!"

"What is a mere Cui Jin!" Li Mu said coldly, really not paying attention to Cui Jin.

"Shubao, find a death row prisoner who is similar to Dali, and after that, Cui Jin can be sent away." Li Mu instructed Qin Qiong.

"Decree!" After listening to Li Mu's order, Qin Qiong's eyes lit up.

at dusk.

The Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

Qin Qiong led a team of soldiers and horses, and escorted a carriage, on which was a corpse covered with a white cloth, to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

"This is the criminal Zhang Dali, let the person in charge of the criminal department come and accept it!" Qin Qiong said coldly to the guard at the gate of the criminal department.

Not long after, the doctor in charge of the criminal department came.

"General Zuo, let's meet again!" The doctor of the Ministry of Punishment cupped his hands towards Qin Qiong, with a hint of complacency on his face.

Xingbulang thought in his heart, hmph, so what if you take him away?Still have to send it back to us.

Although it was a corpse that was sent back, it didn't matter.

The purpose of the Ministry of Punishment is to let Zhang Dali die, and now the body is sent directly, which saves the Ministry of Punishment trouble.

After all, this dead man can't speak, as long as the punishment department wants Zhang Dali to confess the crime, he should be pressed on him.Then, it is enough for the public and the people.

"Let's gossip, I was ordered by the general to give you off, not to chat with you." Qin Qiong said coldly, without a good face.

The doctor of the Ministry of Justice didn't care, after all, all the roosters who lost the fight looked like this!
Qin Qiong ignored him and sent the person to him. After the two parties handed over the documents, they turned their heads and left.

The doctor of the Ministry of punishment came to the carriage, lifted the white cloth covering, and frowned tightly.
