Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 186 Hu Hai's pride! (seeking subscription)

The next day.

Today is a holiday.

All officials rest.

However, there are not many people who rest in the middle of the court.

Prison Department.

Guo Dan just came back from Cao Ya, his face was a little ugly.

Entering the main hall, the prison chief was verifying the laws and regulations. Seeing Guo Dan, Shi Lu asked directly: "Guo prison assistant, have you got the book related to Huang Sheng?"

Guo Dan shook his head and said:
"Returning to the prison director, I didn't get it."

"I went to Cao Ya early in the morning, trying to find out about the victims by looking for related books, but it was still a step too late. All the books related to Huang Sheng in Cao Ya were taken in advance. gone."

"I missed it."

Shi Lu's face was as usual, and he was not surprised.

Lightly said:
"This is normal."

"The Huang family has been in business for a long time, and they are deeply rooted in Xianyang. It is not easy to find their flaws through this method. Although Qin Luoheng pointed out that Huang Sheng had raped her, there is no conclusive evidence. It is very difficult to reverse the case by yourself.”

"In my opinion"

"Stop looking for flaws."

"Even if you found those victims, they would have been bribed long ago. Although Qin Luoheng is brave, but his status is not high, and the Huang family is a dignitary in the court, the victims would not dare to come forward and identify them."

"You should have thought of it long ago."

Guo Dan gritted his teeth and said with aggrieved eyes:
"This mother and maid!"

"Huang's people are really insidious. Isn't it clear that they want to harm people?"

"Huang Sheng's virtues are known to everyone in Xianyang, but they cut off all the clues, making it impossible for us to start. When he was interrogated, Huang Jingxiu could even bite him to death. Huang Sheng never raped other women. Qin Luoheng made a false accusation."

Shilu smiled lightly and said:
"What does it matter?"

"If Huang Sheng hadn't raped other women, Qin Luoheng would have been executed in accordance with the law. It didn't matter whether there was such a false accusation. If Huang Sheng had raped other women, what Qin Luoheng said would naturally not constitute a false accusation."

"You're overthinking it."

Guo Dan glanced at Shi Lu, and said puzzledly: "Prisoner, Your Majesty asked you to thoroughly investigate this case, why are you not nervous at all? If the verdict is wrong, it will have a great impact. On the one hand, it will determine Qin Luoheng's life and death. On the other hand, it determines Huang's situation."

"Why is the head of the prison still not in a hurry when the clue is broken?"

Shi Lu said indifferently: "Your Majesty did ask me to thoroughly investigate this case, but it's just this case. I just need to solve Qin Luoheng's murder case. As for the Huang family, it's not my responsibility to cover up Huang Sheng on purpose. It needs to be considered, this is what the Yushifu will investigate."

Shilu smiled.

Said:

"We can't get those books, but His Majesty can get them. As the saying goes, the more you do, the more mistakes you make. This series of reactions from Mrs. Huang is enough to prove that they have a guilty conscience. Into the eyes of Doctor Yushi."

"Wait until tomorrow, just ask directly."

"What's so difficult about this?"

Guo Dan froze for a moment, thoughtful.

Looking at the dark figure of Shi Lu, he couldn't help but look up a few times.

Then he asked again:
"What if the Yushi doctor didn't check?"

Shi Lu chuckled lightly and said lightly: "This has nothing to do with me. I only care about Huang Sheng's act of adultery and plundering. No matter who took the relevant books, just ask directly at the court. In front of His Majesty, when In the face of the court's civil and military officials, lying is deceiving the emperor!"

Guo Dan's mind froze.

He completely understood Shi Lu's thoughts.

He didn't even bother to check.

To be precise, Shi Lu had long guessed that the Huang family would take away those manuscripts, so he didn't even think about investigating them in depth. Moreover, His Majesty only asked him to try the murder case, not the possible favoritism and fraud that the Huang family might have participated in. Cases, he was even happy to see them.

His handling of the case is actually very clear.

There is only one doubt.

It was whether what Qin Luoheng said was true.

If it were someone else, he would definitely try to find clues and witnesses to prove whether what Qin Luoheng said was true, but Shi Lu did not do this. Ask the officials who took away the book and let them answer.

This move has many advantages.

Firstly, it was directly stated to His Majesty that it was not his fault that the book was taken away in advance; secondly, it was to avoid being involved in Huang's possible favoritism and fraud; thirdly, it was to directly let Huang's ideas fall into place empty.

The people of the Huang family thought that if Yuan Shu was taken away, Tingwei's mansion would be powerless.

Even if Shi Lu went to ask for it in person, they could find all kinds of excuses to delay, making it impossible for Shi Lu to be sure what Qin Luoheng said was true or not.

However, this case received a lot of attention, and His Majesty was in a hurry to close the case quickly. With insufficient evidence, Shi Lu could only conclude that Qin Luoheng was lying.

But everyone underestimated Shilu.

Including Guo Dan himself.

They all thought that Shi Lu came from a local place and didn't understand the game of the court. They never thought that this black-faced man with a silly smile actually knew this way well, and he didn't fall for it at all. played.

Now the people in the Huang family are probably still secretly happy.

When they go to court tomorrow, these people will not be able to laugh.

Think of this.

Guo Dan felt more awe towards Shi Lu in his heart.

This person has a dark face and a darker heart.

His body slightly bowed half a minute.

Shi Lu glanced at Guo Dan unobtrusively, with the same harmless smile on his face, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Guo Dan lowered his head.

He actually wanted to ask Shi Lu how Qin Luoheng would be sentenced. In the past, he might have asked directly, but now, he dared not be presumptuous anymore.

After pondering for a while, he seemed to think of something.

Guo Dan tentatively said: "Director of the prison, when I came to Tingwei's mansion, I heard some news on the way. I don't know who released it. Some people are preaching that Huang Sheng is a person of good character and good conduct. Qin Luoheng has become a sinister and cunning villain, and there are countless people in the city who believe these rumors."

"There are even people who claim to petition for Huang Sheng."

"What does the warden think?"

Shilu smiled and said:

"Officials in the Great Qin Dynasty regard the law as their measure. Naturally, gossip and gossip in the city cannot be taken seriously, let alone be heard. If you listen to the voice of the people and act, the government will exist in name only."

"The people are very simple."

"Their cognition of things is very one-sided, and they are easily bewitched by outsiders. Three people become tigers, and followers are like a cloud. If they are slightly instigated by others, they will believe it is true, and they will be played around by others. If the government is guided by public opinion, It’s only going to get more chaotic.”

"At the beginning, I was the supervisor of the censor, and I was responsible for the design and supervision of the Lingqu. At the beginning of the construction of the Lingqu, there were a lot of opponents in the south of the Lingnan. When it was first built, it even caused riots in the local area. It cannot be repaired."

"At present, the Lingqu Canal is open to navigation, and all the water marshes around the Lingqu Canal have been penetrated. The original water marshes have now become suitable for fertile land. The people nearby all praise it. As an official, you should not care about the achievements you have made. long."

"Most people care about short-term interests, and are even short-sighted. Their suggestions can only be used as a reference. Those who are really in charge should look at the long-term."

"Guo Prison Zhengzuo, you should calm down."

"Qin officials only follow the law."

"Ignore everything else!"

"When the truth is revealed, all the rumors and gossips will naturally be dispelled. As Daqin officials, we must uphold justice and abandon the world's distracting thoughts. Only in this way can we be fair in this turbulent world. Do things fairly."

"The lower officials have been taught." Guo Dan said solemnly.

Lama Temple.

Hu Hai is very happy these days.

The ten brothers who I fear the most have already been imprisoned, and he has killed more than [-] people. Such a shocking number is enough to make others die several times.

He also knows.

Qin Luoheng will not die.

Qin Luoheng is the father's son and the tenth son of Daqin. With the support of the Zhong clan, no matter what happens, he will not be executed.

But Hu Hai was still very happy.

During this period of time, he ran to Wang's quite a lot, and found out some news under side-talking. Wang's really didn't know Qin Luoheng's real identity.

Now that Qin Luoheng is in trouble, the Wang family will definitely do their best to save her.

From time to time, Qin Luoheng's kindness to the Wang family was also repaid accordingly. From now on, the Wang family will no longer owe Qin Luoheng's kindness, and since he married Wang's daughter, his relationship with the Wang family will only get worse. Getting closer and closer, without Qin Luoheng as an obstacle, the Wang family completely fell to him, it was only a matter of time.

With Wang's help, his power has greatly increased.

More importantly, because of Qin Luoheng's attack, Wang Ben did not die of illness. The surviving Wang Ben was of great help to Hu Hai. In the past half month, he has been running to the palace, going back and forth, following Hu Hai. Many officials who were close to the Wang family had contact.

These people have more or less expressed their closeness.

He also followed Zhao Gao's advice and kept suggesting that these officials save Qin Luoheng. He knew very well that Qin Luoheng would be fine, but others didn't know. He just moved his mouth, which not only deepened Wang's affection for him , and also won the recognition of everyone.

more importantly.

It consumed Qin Luoheng's kindness to the Wang family.

The more Wang's effort, the weaker the kindness between the two.

And he took advantage of this lobbying to make Qin Luoheng owe him a favor. When he saw Qin Luoheng in the future, he would even bring it up.

Think of this.

The corner of Hu Hai's mouth couldn't help but smile.

He never thought before that the tenth brother whom he was extremely afraid of would give him such a big gift.

He is very happy these days.

But it was only when there was no one around. At other times, his expression was still very solemn, as if he was really worried about Qin Luoheng's case.

Hu Hai smiled and said: "Brother Ten, Brother Ten, I will go to court tomorrow. As a younger brother, I will naturally speak for you, but the elder brother may not necessarily help you. If you think younger brother is good, you will fight with elder brother." It should be more fierce."

"The harder you fight, the more chance I have."

"It's a pity that my eldest brother is far away in Chu, otherwise it must be very exciting in the court. No matter how fierce the snipe and clam fight, you will not be able to compare with me, a fisherman in the dark."

"The final winner is me!!!"
