Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 17 Dali Temple

Liu Da, the governor of Beisi, still has another doubt in his heart: in his opinion, He Liu is a person who can muddle through everything.On Ding Wang's case, He Liu behaved a little abnormally - a little too caring.

Since Ding Wang has been found "innocent" by the Criminal Ministry, with He Liu's usual behavior, he should turn a blind eye to it. Why is he so concerned about this case?

Liu Danian is only 20 years old, where has he heard of the weird "ghost house case" [-] years ago, and the only clue to the case - "Treasure Gathering Technique"?
Now He Liu suspects that Ding Wang learned the method of hiding silver in the pillars from "Jubao Yaoshu".Ding Wang is the clue for him to trace the death of his father and wife!

Although He Liu swears to talk to Lao Hu, he has no intention of investigating the ghost house case.But the life of the father and the life of the wife, how could he give up the pursuit of the truth?

At noon the next day, He Liu and Lao Hu escorted Ding Wang to Dali Temple.

The sixth master of Jin Yiwei came to hand over the case in person, and Dali Temple dared not neglect it.Dali Temple Minister Sun Henan, a third-rank official, greeted He Liu in person.

Seeing Sun Henan, He Liu cupped his hands: "This subordinate has met Mr. Sun."

Sun Henan smiled and said: "The sixth son, they are all members of our own family who live in prison, why should we be more polite? What kind of case, please trouble the sixth master of Jin Yiwei to come out in person?"

He Liu told Sun Henan about Ding Wang's case.And submit the case file together.

When Sun Henan took over the case file, a smile appeared on his face: "Daming has a system. Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are the three judicial departments of the court. Dali Temple re-examines the cases concluded by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Accept it. Don't worry, old six, if this Ding Wang is guilty, our Dali Temple will make him confess his guilt and obey the law!"

After leaving Dali Temple, return to Beizhen Fusi.In the duty room, Lao Hu said to He Liu: "The case concluded by the Ministry of Criminal Justice is in the hands of Dali Temple. This Ding Wang must surely die!"

Everyone in the DPRK knows that there is discord among the three courts.The Minister of Dali Temple, Sun Henan, and the Minister of Justice, Xu Yuanju, were notorious enemies in court.Sun Henan must be happy to convict Ding Wang and slap the Ministry of Punishment in the face.

Commander Lu Bing sent someone to pass a message to He Liu: Three days later, go to Dali Temple and see how Dali Temple convicted Ding Wang.

Three days later, He Liu came to Dali Temple again.

Dali Temple Minister Sun Henan still had the same smile on his face: "The sixth child is here again?"

He Liu cupped his hands: "It's time to beg for Lord Sun's mercy again. It's still Ding Wang's case. How did Dali Temple convict him?"

Sun Henan looked surprised: "Convicted? What crime?"

He Liudao: "Could it be that the case hasn't been concluded yet?"

Sun Henan laughed loudly: "Lao Liu also underestimated our Dali Temple. How dare we neglect the case that Jin Yiwei handed down? The trial was concluded yesterday."

He Liu was confused: "Why didn't you convict him after the trial was over?"

Sun Henan looked embarrassed: "This Ding Wang is innocent, why should he be convicted?"

This time, it was He Liuyi's turn to be surprised: "Not guilty? You mean, the result of your interrogation is the same as that of the Ministry of Criminal Justice—Ding Wang is innocent?"

Sun Henan nodded: "Our Dali Temple immediately began to investigate after accepting this case. Si Wu, prison rafter, Si Zhi, recorder, master book, judge, Si Cheng, Shaoqing, and I, the temple minister, will conduct a nine-level joint review! After investigation, this Ding Wang is indeed innocent. The matter of stealing silver is purely false."

He Liu was shocked!

From top to bottom, the Ministry of Criminal Justice said that Ding Wang was innocent!Dali Temple said Ding Wang was innocent from top to bottom!There are only two possibilities-one, he used the stolen 20 taels of silver to bribe the officials of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.Second, Ding Wang is indeed innocent, and it was Wan Anliang who bit him indiscriminately.

20 taels of silver, to buy dozens of officials from the Ministry of Punishment, from Yuanwailang to Shilang.It is also necessary to buy dozens of officials from Dali Temple down to Siwu and up to Siqing-the money is obviously not enough.

Could it be that Ding Wang is really innocent?
He Liu asked Sun Henan: "Has Ding Wang been released from Dali Temple?"

Sun Henan nodded: "An innocent person should naturally be acquitted. He has gone home now."

He Liu led Lao Hu to return to command envoy Lu Bing.

"Oh? Dali Temple also said that Ding Wang is innocent?" Lu Bing asked He Liu while drinking tea.

He Liu nodded: "Dali Temple Minister Sun Henan insisted that Ding Wang was innocent."

Lu Bing has been a Jinyiwei for more than 20 years and has a keen intuition for any case.Intuition told him that this Ding Wang was by no means as clean as a lotus flower as the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple said.

Lu Bing smiled: "It's interesting, it's so interesting. A small soldier in the military has been protected by nearly a hundred officials of all sizes from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. What do you think, old six?"

He Liu cupped his hands: "I report to the commander. My subordinates believe that Ding Wang is by no means as simple as a soldier."

Lu Bingdao: "As for your identity, it's all found out. Now that you have tried the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, there is only one Metropolitan Procuratorate left in the Three Law Divisions. I will immediately issue a driving ticket for you, and you will take someone with you. Na Ding Wang has been arrested. Tomorrow, transfer the case to the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

He Liudao: "This subordinate takes orders."

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, He Liu turned around and reminded Lu Bing: "Commander, I still have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Say!"

He Liudao: "If the officials are shielding Ding Wang, they should not only shield the officials from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. Xu Yuanju, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, told his subordinates that his people checked the inventory of the Shenli Treasury with the two officials from the Ministry of Rites. The amount of silver. It was found that the stolen silver was only the 20 taels stolen by Wan Anliang. In other words, Wan Anliang was the only one who stole the silver.”

Lu Bing played with the teacup in his hand, and said, "Oh? Even the Shang Shu and Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites are protecting Ding Wang? It's getting more and more interesting."

He Liu took Lu Bingkai's driving sticker and brought dozens of wrestlers to Ding Wang's courtyard in Donkey Meat Alley.

Entering the courtyard, I saw that Ding Wang was eating a bowl of stewed meat in the main room.There was also a small flagon on the table.

Seeing He Liu walking in, Ding Wang didn't even get up: "Oh? Master He from Jinyiwei is here? It's better to come early than coincidental. This fragrant meat smells like a dog when it's cold, let's eat some together while it's hot?"

He Liu sat across from Ding Wang: "Ding Wang, you are quite leisurely."

Ding Wang buried his head in eating the fragrant meat: "I can't talk about leisure. It's just that the joint trial between the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs has proved my innocence. I'm very happy."

He Liudao: "Heh, since the two divisions have already been interrogated, it's not too late for the Duchayuan. I have accepted the order from the Shangguan to take you to the Duchayuan for another visit."

Ding Wang said: "Okay. All the three judges will go there. I will see who dares to say that I stole money from the Ministry of Rites. But, can you let me finish this bowl of fragrant meat?"

He Liu stared into Ding Wang's eyes and said, "How much fragrant meat can you buy with more than 20 taels of silver? I can't see that you are still so frugal and don't want to waste a small bowl of fragrant meat."

Ding Wang looked directly at He Liu: "Food is the most important thing for the people. If you waste wine and meat, you will be struck by thunder."
