marquis of jingan

Chapter 386
The next day, early in the morning, in the lobby of Jiangdu County Government.

The two imperial envoys began to open courts in the main hall of the county government office to try cases.

It is not a trial of a certain case, but a trial of many cases. It is estimated that there are more than a dozen finalized cases that need to be retried.

And the first major case was the Chen Qing case of Hong De five years ago.

At this time, at the gate of the county government office, the victims of the Chen Qing case had arrived, and they were the Chen couple.

The couple were both dressed in common clothes, their daughter Chen Youniang stood by and accompanied them, as for their son Chen Yan, he was in Ganquan Academy, so he was not allowed to come over.

Shen Yi also stood beside the couple.

At this moment, the county government office has not yet opened, Shen Yi said softly to Chen's father: "Uncle Chen, just say what you have in a while, the official who is judging the case today is an imperial envoy..."

"You have endured for more than two years, and now..."

He sighed for a long time: "Finally, I don't have to bear it anymore."

Chen Heizi looked up at the gate of the county government office, then turned his head to look at Shen Yi, feeling a little unstable.

"No matter what, Qing'er will never come back."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "Uncle Chen, the dead may not care about some things, but the living should seek justice for him..."

"I know, the two of you may still doubt me."

Shen Yi said lightly: "Today, I will also be innocent."

Chen Heizi shook his head: "Master Shen, although our husband and wife are farmers and have little knowledge, we are both reasonable people. We understand in our hearts that if Qing'er was really killed by you, you have already been exonerated, and there will be no crime today." Reasonable review..."

Shen Yi smiled dumbly: "How do you two know that I want a retrial?"

"The Fan family doesn't want a retrial."

Chen Heizi's dark face carried the cowardice and lack of self-confidence typical of a peasant family, but he still said what he wanted to say.

"But now that the trial is being retried, it should be due to Mr. Shen..."

Mother Chen on the side wiped her tears with her sleeve: "I hope that Qing'er is the spirit in the sky, and can watch from the sky..."

While the three of them were talking, the main hall of the county government office opened wide, and a group of government servants lined up on both sides, announcing the opening of the county government hall.

Shen Yi was dressed in a scholar's uniform, and walked in with great strides.

In the hall of the county government office, two imperial envoys were sitting in the upper seat, and Zhang Jian, who was the magistrate of the county, was also on the sidelines as a jury.

After Shen Yi entered the lobby, he cupped his hands at the two imperial envoys, and said flatly: "Jiangdu Shen Yi, I have seen the two imperial envoys."

These two imperial envoys are both sixth-rank Beijing officials, but as Beijing officials, they all know that Shen Yi, a special eighth-rank official, can "reach directly to heaven", so they are also a little polite to Shen Yi.

Fu Song, the head of the criminal department, sat on a chair and bowed his hands to Shen Yi to return the salute, but he didn't stand up, but just said: "Shen Sizheng is polite, I have business to do today, and Shen Sizheng has a lawsuit on him, so I don't need to salute much." , after today's work is over, let's talk about the relationship between colleagues."

Hu Ping of Dali Temple also said with a smile: "That's right, after today's official business is over, let's talk about friendship."

"It's natural."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "Today in this hall, Shen is not some kind of official, the two imperial envoys just treat me as a prisoner."

The two imperial envoys nodded and said, "Take the prisoner."

Soon, a few yamen escorted the three prisoners up.

They are Fan Dongcheng from the Fan family, Luo Maocai from the Luo family, and Ma Jun from the Ma family.

Among them, Ma Jun is the most unlucky.

Because he had already served his sentence, and it wasn't long after he came back from Lingnan.

However, he was exiled to Lingnan because of the grain merchant case and had nothing to do with the Chen Qing case, so he was taken to the county government again.

After the three people were escorted to the main hall, they were all ordered to kneel down.

The three of them did not dare to speak, and all knelt on the ground.

Among them, Fan Dongcheng was the most embarrassing. This Mr. Fan didn't say a word at the moment, but just stared at the front with dull eyes.

His face was covered in black and gray, and he no longer had the unrestrained appearance of the former Mr. Fan.

Shen Yi silently turned around and glanced at the three people.

After seeing Shen Yi, the three people had different expressions.

Luo Maocai was born as a scholar, and he felt somewhat regretful because of that incident back then. After seeing Shen Yi, he immediately lowered his head and said nothing.

Ma Jun, on the other hand, gritted his teeth.

Because the reason why the grain merchant case broke out last time was also inseparably related to Shen Yi!
In other words, he has already fallen into Shen Yi's hands twice!
Up to now, this young master Ma, who was originally fat and fat, has lost a lot of weight at the moment, and he looks completely different from the old Ma Jun!
He looked at Shen Yi fiercely and gritted his teeth.

"Shen Qi!"

Shen Yi stood in front of him with his hands behind his back. Hearing this, he turned his head to look at him, and said indifferently, "Senior Brother Ma, is there something wrong with me?"

Ma Jun was about to grit his teeth.

"You are so cruel!"

"My family is ruined and bankrupt, and you still refuse to let me go!"

Shen Yi smiled dumbly, then shook his head: "It's not because I won't let you go, but because the national law won't let you go."

Speaking of this, his face turned cold: "Which of you four would let Chen Qing go?"

There was still half a sentence, Shen Yi didn't say it.

Who is willing to let me go?
As for Fan Dongcheng, he also knelt on the ground and remained motionless, looking as if he was in a daze.

"quiet!"

At the master's seat, Master Fu patted the gavel, and then said in a deep voice, "The case of the murder of Chen Qing, a student of Ganquan Academy in Hongde's fifth year is now being retrialed!"

"Where is the sufferer?"

Chen Heizi and his wife immediately stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the two imperial envoys, begging the two imperial envoys to decide.

Hu Ping from Dali Temple coughed and said, "This case is full of doubts. Since I have been ordered to retry, I will naturally give you justice."

As he said that, the temple official of Dali Temple also patted the gavel, and then said in a low voice, "Fan Dongcheng, Luo Maocai, Ma Jun and others from Jiangdu Prefecture, two years ago you joined hands to beat Chen Qing in Ganquan Academy, and then You blamed your classmate Shen Yi in an attempt to get away with it, but things changed later, and you changed your name to blame your classmate Qian Tong, right?!"

Fan Dongcheng still knelt on the ground without saying a word.

Luo Maocai also lowered his head, not saying a word.

Ma Jun's face was pale, and he bowed his head and said: "Tang Zun, the Chen Qing case has been closed, it has nothing to do with the three of us, it was done by Qian Tong alone, this is already a certainty..."

Chief Fu of the Criminal Department sneered slightly, then said in a deep voice, "Bring witness Qian Tong!"

Hearing these words, Ma Jun and Luo Maocai's expressions changed slightly.

Because at the beginning, it was the three of them who used Qian Tong as a scapegoat and pushed everything away. It was originally a crime of murder, and it would be very difficult for Qian Tong to return to Jiangdu in his life. Coincidentally, the emperor got married in the second half of this year , Amnesty to the world.

The so-called amnesty of the world is to forget the past.

Except for treason, civil strife, or some treasonous murderers, other criminals will be pardoned, and Qian Tong's crime at the time was "manslaughter", which was not within the scope of treason, so he was pardoned.

Soon, Qian Tong was brought into the lobby of the county government office.

Qian Tong was the one who contributed the most in the original group of four, and he was also the one with the most ordinary family background.

His figure is also the tallest among the four.

At this time, on his forehead, a big "sin" was stabbed, which was very eye-catching.

According to Da Chen's law, only murderers will be stabbed in the forehead and face.

It seems that Ma Jun also has tattoos on his body, but he didn't commit the crime of murder at the beginning, so besides the tattoo on his right arm, it can't be seen normally.

After Qian Tong walked in, he first glanced at Shen Yi, then at the three people kneeling on the ground, then spat hard on the ground, and knelt down in the lobby without saying a word.

"Grassman Qian Tong, pay homage to Tang Zun!"
