Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 337 Exploration, Surely Can Help!

"Old case?"

Suspicion flashed across Xue Jingrong's old face, "Excuse me, my lord."

Yan Yun said in a warm voice: "In four years, the Ninglanxia Dam burst, and Cheng Nan, the foreign capital, was held accountable by the court for embezzling public funds for river repairs. The whole family was implicated. Does Mr. Xue still have any impressions of this case?"

"The old man has heard a little bit."

Xue Jingrong narrowed her yellow eyes slightly, and said in a low voice with a hint of regret, "Master Cheng is full of knowledge, he is a rare young talent, it's a pity... hey!"

In the year of the flood in Yunzhou, he had already retired and returned to his hometown. The imperial court issued an imperial edict, and blood spread all over Cheng's family. When he first heard the news, he still couldn't believe it.

However, this is the reality, there is only a sigh.

Yan Yun asked again: "What does Mr. Xue think of Cheng Nan?"

Xue Jingrong was holding the tea bowl, staring at the red-hot coals, his eyes misty as if recalling: "I don't know him very well, but judging from the few times I met him, this person is resolute and upright, not like someone who is greedy for profit. "

He sighed again as he spoke: "However, people's hearts and ghosts are the most unpredictable. This kind of thing... It's hard to say, it's hard to say!"

Xue Jingrong smiled and shook her head again and again.

Yan Yun glanced at Su Rao who was standing beside her out of the corner of her eye, and found her a little funny when she saw her eyes closed and her hands down, so well behaved.

was thinking.

"By the way, Sir, you didn't summon the old man just to ask this question, did you?"

Xue Jingrong said with a smile: "I have been idle for many years, I am not used to the twists and turns in the officialdom, and my words are presumptuous, please forgive me."

"Old Xue is polite."

Yan Yun restrained his thoughts, nodded slightly and said, "Then the official will speak directly."

Xue Jingrong made a 'please' gesture.

"The old man is all ears."

"Not long ago, I accidentally got a handwritten letter about Cheng's old case. This letter was written by the housekeeper of Cheng's house. It said that he had placed the bribery account books and other things in Cheng Nan's study. Please spare the old and the young at home. Life."

Yan Yun said succinctly, "The recipient is one of the presiding judges of the Cheng case, the former supervisory envoy of Yunzhou, He Gongze."

In just a few words, the information contained in it is shocking enough.

The presiding judge bribed the servant to frame Cheng Nan...

Xue Jingrong was shocked, "The Supervisor...why would he do that?"

"Of course it's because of being caught in the trap."

Yan Yun's voice was calm and he couldn't hear any emotions: "In addition, there are not many flaws in the case files. It is impossible for one person to cover up so thoroughly."

"So the other officials in charge of the trial can't escape the responsibility..."

Xue Jingrong quickly took his words, "But what I don't understand is that when this case happened, I had already retired and didn't participate in it. What does your lord want to know from me?"

"I know the quarrel in this case has nothing to do with Mr. Xue. You came here to ask about the construction of the Ninglanxia Dam. Cheng Nan was framed, and the real murderer is at large. This case needs to be re-investigated. "

Having said that, the two sides are only confessing.

It is inevitable to reverse the case and correct the mistakes. How many people lost their families in the flood, their wives and children were separated, and the blood debts and innocence of the Cheng family are full.

Xue Jingrong agreed with this decision.

"I also want to help you, but the water conservancy project is a matter of the Ministry of Industry. Even though I was the governor of the state, I know very little about it. I'm afraid I can't help you."

"No, Mr. Xue must be able to help."

"What's the meaning of this?"

Xue Jingrong looked at him in bewilderment, he didn't even have confidence in himself, he didn't know why this son was so sure.

Yan Yun met his gaze, smiled slightly and said, "After getting that letter, I started to investigate related personnel matters. During this period, another murder case related to it happened."

Hearing the word 'homicide', Xue Jingrong couldn't help but twitched. He used to be an official, so he naturally understood the meaning of this sentence.

"These people are really lawless!"

He scolded angrily, coughing because he was too emotional, and Xue Shou who was beside him hurriedly patted his back, "Grandfather, the doctor said you should not be excited, if you have something to say, come on, drink some water to moisten your mouth. "

Xue Shou gave him the tea bowl, but Xue Jingrong gently pushed it away.

"No, it will be fine in a while."

He was short of breath, and it took him a while to calm down. Yan Yun said softly, "Mr. Xue, don't get angry. The murderer in this case has been arrested and is just waiting for an inquiry. This is what I want to entrust to you."

"Inquiry?"

Xue Jingrong covered her chest with her hands, and said slowly: "My lord, don't be joking. How can an old man interfere with the government's investigation."

"This murderer can only be tried by Mr. Xue."

"why?"

Xue Jingrong really didn't understand. Ever since he received the edict, he had been confused. Many things had passed in his mind, and he couldn't figure out a clue. Sitting here became more and more uncomfortable.

It seemed that the blood all over his body was burning, which made his heart and lungs ache.

Faced with his doubts, Yan Yun calmly said: "Because this person is known to Mr. Xue, and he is also one of the chief judges in the Cheng case."

"Who?"

"Qi Xiang!"

There was thunder on the ground, and Xue Jingrong's brain went blank. His ears seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't hear the sound. He felt the blood all over his body rushing to the top of his head in an instant, and then he heard his hoarse voice: "Say, murderer!" who is it?"

"Yunzhou Mu, Qi Xiang!"

Yan Yun repeated again, Xue Jingrong trembled, shook her head and said, "Impossible, how could it be him!"

Trial of falsehoods, murder to silence, this is not something his most proud student would do.

"There must be something wrong."

Xue Jingrong stood up and said anxiously: "Master Yan, where is he, please let the old man go see him."

Yan Yun then got up and said, "I was going to meet you, but Mr. Xue, you came here after a long journey, so you should have something to eat and rest, and we will arrange a meeting for you later."

"I can't wait, or..."

"Old Xue!"

Yan Yun lowered his voice slightly, and said solemnly: "Rest first, this matter is not in a hurry."

Xue Jingrong saw that his eyes were fixed, there was no doubt about it, she could only try her best to suppress the turbulent emotions in her heart, and slightly bowed her hands to him, "I understand, but it's up to the adults to arrange."

"Come here, take Mr. Xue down to rest."

Yan Yun summoned them and took Xue Jingrong and his grandparents out of the main hall. After they had gone far, Su Rao stepped forward to stand side by side with him, looking at the direction in which they disappeared.

Yan Yun asked, "What do you see?"

"He's not well."

After Su Rao answered seriously, she saw him looking sideways, couldn't help but smiled, and said seriously: "Judging from the reaction just now, there seems to be nothing wrong with this old man."

Cope with ease and show your true feelings.

At least she didn't see any flaws, if it was an act, then she could only admire his outstanding acting skills.

Yan Yun smiled lightly, and then changed his voice: "How many Shifangdans do you have?"

"Half a bottle."

Su Rao looked at him, "What's wrong?"

Yan Yun stood with his hands behind his back, and said softly, "Before sending him to see Qi Xiang, let him take two pills."

"it is good."
