Fortunate Young Gentleman

Emperor Chen pondered over it carefully and felt that what Tang Ning said made sense. He looked at him and asked, "How come you understand all this?"

If he didn't understand all this, then all his reading of "Young Justice Bao" and "The Judge of the Song Dynasty" would be in vain. He also bought a copy of "Xiyuan Jilu" before, and although he only flipped through a few pages, he still remembered some of the content.

Tang Ning looked at Emperor Chen and smiled, "My Lord, you forgot that I am also a doctor."

"If you hadn't said that, I would have forgotten..." Emperor Chen looked at him strangely. It was because he had too many identities: the new champion, a crazy poet, a Hanlin editor, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, the head of the Ministry of Justice...

It would have been fine if he had so many identities, but he was also good at one thing, he passed the imperial examinations and was the best poet, he was the most knowledgeable Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy, he was able to propose new laws to fight corruption in the Ministry of Revenue, and he was so proficient in investigating cases in the Ministry of Justice... In this case, who would have remembered that in addition to these identities, he was also the uncle of the Imperial Physician...

After hearing these words, the wealthy businessman surnamed Hu had already burst into tears and collapsed to the ground, crying, "My Lord, you have to make a decision for me and my wife!"

After all, Tang Ning was not a detective. After asking about the situation of the maids and servants in the Hu Mansion, he did not get any useful information, so he could only order the Ministry of Justice to file a record and investigate.

When they came out of Hu's house, Emperor Chen casually said, "Minister Fang has applied to me to promote the wonderful methods you taught to the accountant in the Ministry of Revenue. I think this method is of great benefit to the court and has approved it. If Minister Fang comes to you, you must help him promote this method."

Tang Ning cursed Fang Zhe in his heart. He used him when he was in the Ministry of Revenue. Now that he has left the Ministry of Revenue, he is still looking for trouble for him...

He cursed Fang Zhe in his heart, but he still had to smile on his face and nodded, saying, "I obey your order."

Emperor Chen did not go back to the Ministry of Revenue. He returned to the palace halfway. Zhao Yingying followed him back. When he went back, Tang Ning saw that her face was a little pale. This girl is so timid. It is estimated that she will not be able to eat for a few days this time.

Tang Ning walked back to his duty room. A clerk walked to the door of Minister Xu's duty room, knocked on the door, and walked in.

Minister Xu glanced at him and asked, "Why, is the case closed?"

"No..." The clerk glanced at him and said, "Director Tang concluded that it was not a suicide case, but a homicide case, and ordered the people from the Ministry of Justice to investigate."

"Hamicide case?" Minister Xu raised his head again and asked, "How did he conclude it?"

The clerk recounted what had just happened.

Minister Xu was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let the people from the Ministry of Justice investigate."

Generally speaking, the handling methods of suicide cases and homicide cases are completely different. The former only needs to be filed with the Ministry of Justice and then it can be left alone. The latter is much more troublesome. It is difficult to solve one out of ten such cases. The Ministry of Justice has too many backlogs, and one more will not hurt...

He thought of something and said, "Have all the cases that needed to be reviewed in various places last month been sent?"

The clerk nodded and said, "They have all been sent, but the Ministry of Justice has not reviewed them yet."

Minister Xu looked at him and said, "Then take it to the Ministry of Justice for review first."

Tang Ning was sitting in the duty room. It was time to eat, but he had just seen the corpse in the morning. Although he was not as scared as Zhao Yingying and his face turned pale, he still couldn't eat.

A clerk brought in a large stack of files and said, "Sir, these are case files sent from various places. Please review them as soon as possible, my lord, the minister."

"Put it down." Anyway, he had no appetite, so Tang Ning simply opened a file and started reading it.

The court still attaches great importance to human life. Even if the prisoner is sentenced to death, he must be reviewed by the Ministry of Justice and then by the emperor himself before the final judgment will be made.

In the Ministry of Justice, these files must at least pass through two checkpoints, the Ministry of Justice and the Minister of Justice. As long as anyone thinks that there is a problem in any link of the case, it will be sent back for retrial.

These files include witness testimony, coroner's autopsy report, and record documents of local county offices.

He read through the eleven files one by one, leaving only two, stacking the other nine together, calling the clerk and saying, "Send these files for retrial."

The clerk looked at him and said in surprise, "These... all sent for retrial?"

Tang Ning nodded and said, "All sent."

Except for these two files, the rest of the files either had insufficient evidence or problems with the autopsy reports. If it were any other case, it would be fine, but these were all murder cases. If he moved his fingers, one person would not survive until next autumn, and there was no room for negligence.

Perhaps the people in the Ministry of Justice did not think so, but as the only department among the six departments that directly controlled the life and death of the people, it had to exercise its power with caution.

The clerk looked at Tang Ning and nodded, "I obey your order."

Tang Ning was actually very familiar with the case trial process of the county government, and knew very well where the defects of the local government offices in investigating cases were.

There is a sentence in "Xiyuan Jilu", "Nothing is more important than the death penalty, nothing is more important than the initial case, and nothing is more important than the initial case investigation." Tang Ning remembers this sentence very clearly.

This sentence means that among all cases, nothing is more important than a murder case, and nothing is more important than clarifying the initial case when investigating a murder case. To clarify the initial case, the inspection is the most important link.

Chen Guo did not have the "Collection of Clearing Wrongs", and the autopsy of the deceased was still at a very early stage. Similar to the case this morning, if placed in any local county office, it would probably be simply judged as suicide. This would be a problem for the government. It is enough to save trouble, but there are a lot of unjust cases among the people, and many innocent people will even die as a result.

Although he was a bit naive and the kind of person who needed to be pushed around, he still planned to take the initiative to do something in this matter.

He didn't finish reading "The Collection of Wrongs" at that time, mainly because the content was too exciting and he couldn't eat after reading too much. Although he regretted it now, it was too late. He could only write down what he had read first. .

Due to the limitations of the conditions and ideological understanding at that time, there are also some unscientific things in "The Collection of Abandoned Wrongs", but it is undeniable that those small flaws cannot cover up the value of this book.

Tang Ning's knowledge of forensic medicine was limited to what she saw on TV series, but having a systematic forensic book was not enough.

After finishing writing the contents of "The Collection of Redress of Wrongs" that he had seen, and also jotting down some fragments of what he had seen in the TV series, he put down his pen, summoned a clerk, and ordered: "Report the work of the widows of various yamen in Gyeonggi Province. Make a copy of the list for me.”

Although the clerk didn't know what Tang Ning wanted to do with the list, he still nodded and said, "Yes, I will get it done right away."

In terms of autopsy experience, he naturally cannot compare with these coworkers. They are all passed down from generation to generation, and each of them may have some unique secret skills. Summarizing these and then screening them will have a greater effect than him alone. .

This was a major event that benefited the world. Tangning was rare and did not slack off. He recalled the various detective dramas he had watched. This was a very mentally consuming thing and required a lot of energy, but he had really been busy in the past two days. I have no appetite and can only force myself to eat a lot of things.

Halfway through "The Strange Case of Shi Gong", he went to the kitchen to steal two steamed buns, and was about to go back and finish the second half. When he walked into the check-in room, he saw Zhao Man sitting in his seat. Seeing him come in, he glanced at him, Said: "What story have you written recently and you didn't tell me..."

She held a thin book in her hand and was looking at it with interest. Tang Ning was a little surprised. Zhao Yingying was still a bit brave and could read the heavy content with gusto.

He took a bite of the steamed bun. Zhao Man looked up at him, his face turned pale. When he saw the steamed bun in his hand, his complexion became even paler. He covered his chest and said, "Ugh..."

Tang Ning had been reluctant to eat in recent days. When she heard her voice, her stomach suddenly turned, "vomit..."
