Dayong Nu sentenced to death

"Then what are Master Song waiting for?"

Yan Yun's quiet eyes swept over him, and said coldly, "Do you want me to investigate?"

"The subordinate dare not."

Song Xun tremblingly folded his sleeves and bowed, as if he was about to leave. Others were also preparing to clean up Li Mi's body. The jailer's forehead was dripping with blood, but he didn't dare to wipe it, and stood up tremblingly.

Everything seems to be in the past.

However, as soon as they moved, they heard the faint voice coming again: "You have failed to take care of the jade, which caused the jade to be destroyed. This crime is unforgivable. I will report to His Majesty for judgment."

"As for you..."

Yan Yun looked at the terrified jailer, "Thirty court staff, I don't have to come here to work again in the future."

The jailer who survived the catastrophe swallowed his bitterness and thanked him.

Mistakenly killing a repeat offender of the court, this crime was only punished with thirty sticks. Although his skin was bruised and he had to lie on the bed for a while and lost his job, he finally saved his life.

He knelt down and kowtowed, and was dragged away by other guards.

The faces of Song Xun and the others turned green and white, and Li Mi was interrogated by them. They died before their eyes. They were indeed guilty of dereliction of duty, but was it too harsh to report to His Majesty?

"Master Yan..."

Song Xun still wanted to distinguish for himself, but the two people from Yushitai and Dali Temple directly shook hands and retreated.

Seeing this, Song Xun didn't dare to say anything more, met Yan Yun's gaze, cupped his hands and said, "I'll go and investigate right now, sir."

He walks away.

Hou Zai's people came in and carried Li Mi's body away, washing the blood on the ground, while Yan Yun and Su Rao went back to Tingzhutang.

Song Xun caught up with the two of them, his face full of anger: "Master He, Zhu Yushi, what did you mean just now?"

Zhu Yushi stopped and looked at him with a cold face, "What do you think?"

"The man was killed by the jailer. At best, we are negligent in our duty. Why did you make such a fuss and report to His Majesty for judgment? Why didn't you say anything?"

Song Xun's depression and anger were hard to dissipate. Since the beginning of the case, he hadn't felt happy in his heart, and he felt uncomfortable.

"Dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty are facts, so there is nothing to say."

Zhu Yushi stared at him, his eyebrows frowned: "Li Mi's Ministry of Crime and Punishment has not yet issued a verdict, but he died under our noses. It is already merciful not to question someone on the spot. What else do you want?"

"Master He?"

Song Xun felt that this censor was simply unreasonable, and looked at the silent He Chao. He Chao raised his head with a blank expression, "Master Song, have you forgotten? I am an official of Dali Temple."

"You are really... hopeless."

The veins on Song Xunqi's forehead were throbbing, and He Chao said with a serious face, "Who is the hopeless one? You are eager for quick success, and you don't listen to dissuasion. You only know how to torture and extract confessions. Now that something happened, you just want to push the responsibility out. No regrets."

"Is this how people in the criminal department work?"

His last sentence hit Song Xun's sore spot, and Song Xun's complexion changed suddenly, "He Chao, how dare you insult me!"

"People must humiliate themselves and others will humiliate them. Song Daiyan, governor of Shanglin County, opened a private mine and conspired against him. Your younger brother married a prostitute and ruined the style of the family."

He Chao interrupted him with a high-pitched voice, and said sarcastically, "And you, you are worse than them. The criminal law of the dynasty is in the hands of people like you. No wonder there is a female prisoner who is a walking supervisor of the Ministry of Criminal Justice!"

"The style of the Criminal Department should be rectified."

After he left these words in a daze, Zhu Yushi shook his head and sighed, looked at Song Xun who was dazed, and hurriedly greeted the front: "Master He, wait for me."

Song Xun stood where he was and watched them go away, his face became more and more gloomy.

He remembered these words.

He exhaled bitterly, and Song Xun walked in another direction. He had to find out who that 'butterfly' was quickly, so that he could get rid of the crime.

In the listening bamboo hall, the two who had returned without success sat opposite each other. The others had already been assigned tasks and no one disturbed them. Yan Yun asked, "What happened to you just now?"

Her attitude towards Song Xun is intriguing.

Like hidden needles.

Su Rao was still thinking about Li Mi's matter, she was taken aback when he heard him ask this out of the blue, and then talked about Song Xun and her father.

After hearing this, Yan Yun pondered for a long time, "This matter has been going on for many years. Those who participated in Lord Su's case were either transferred or dismissed, and scattered in all directions. It was really troublesome for him to find out that Song Xun was among them. of."

To be precise, Lu Lanyou was too concerned about her affairs.

This is not a sign.

"I'll talk about Song Xun's matter later. Now that Li Mi is dead, Mr. Zheng can't be found. We have to think about what to do next."

A few days passed, and the city was full of disturbances, but no clues were found.

It's not easy to do business with His Majesty.

Su Rao got back to business, and didn't take his last words to heart, Yan Yun saw her slightly frowning, thoughtfully, and couldn't help but smile.

She is still that elm lump.

That's fine too.

Yan Yun restrained his thoughts and returned to the case. After the two of them sorted out the matter from beginning to end, Su Rao stared at a certain place on the table, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind.

"Could it be that we checked the wrong direction?"

"How to say?"

Yan Yun asked strangely.

Su Rao supported her chin with one hand, rubbed her earlobe lightly with her fingertips, and said in a low voice: "Look, they prepared the answer sheets in advance, so the problem lies in the examiners and readers who knew the exam questions in advance, so focus on asking them. "

"However, after extensive examination, neither the confession nor the timing of committing the crime were available. What they found out was the crimes of condoning the nephew's usury, brother-in-law, and lax family management, which have nothing to do with this case."

"Only one investigation may cover up, but this time all interrogations, confessions, audits, and matters involved in the case will be investigated by a temporary team of officials from the three judicial divisions. Every time an item is investigated, the distribution will be disrupted."

"Under this arrangement, it is very difficult to bribe officials."

"So, is there a possibility that they really have nothing to do with this case?"

Su Rao's eyes were dim, she looked at Yan Yun, Yan Yun was thinking about her words, although it was absurd, it did sound reasonable...

It's just that he can't take such a result back to His Majesty.

"Where did the test questions come from?"

The two fell into deep thought at the same time.

Su Rao had a headache thinking about it, raised her head and looked around casually, and was about to look out the window to relax, when she glanced casually, she suddenly saw the inkstone beside Yan Yun's hand.

The lines carved on the stone inkstone are very complicated, simple and magnificent.

"Ink research..."

Su Rao got up, walked slowly to the edge of the table, stared at Fang Yantai and the ink stick for a long time, "It seems that there are very few people around you..."

Yan Yun followed her gaze, his eyes narrowed slightly: "I like quiet, the study has never been served by anyone."

Su Rao is also used to doing everything by herself, so she never thought about it.

The moment she spoke, Yan Yun understood what she meant.

——Yes, they actually ignored this layer!
