Chapter 1161 Collaboration
Liu Dewei glared at Wei Yijie, extremely unhappy.
As the Minister of Punishment, he didn't know when the eldest son Sun Dan died, so his subordinates rushed to the scene in a hurry to take over the murder case and fought with the officials of Jingzhao Mansion. He even concealed the important evidence he had found from himself. Was he trying to evade me?
Facing the anger of his boss, Wei Yijie was not afraid.
In terms of family and origin, he is more prominent than Andy Lau!
Who is the Pengcheng Liu family?
Jingzhao Weishi is the real hairpin family!
His great-grandfather, Wei Xiaokuan, was a famous military commander in the Northern Dynasties. He served as Taifu, Shangshu Youpuse, Yongzhou Mu, and Duke of Yun in the Zhou Dynasty; Duke; his father, Wei Yuancheng, was the eldest son of Mr. Wei. He was the governor of the third division of Yitong in Kaifu and the second prefecture of Chenchen in Sui Dynasty, and succeeded to the title of Duke Yun; His uncle Wei Kuangbo, the second son of Mr. Wei, was the father of Taizong Zhaorong Wei Ni's son. In the Sui Dynasty, he was Shangyi Fengyu and Duke of Shu; Wei Yuanzhao, the third son of Mr. Wei, Yang Jinghui, Princess Fengning of the Sui Dynasty, was the prince-in-law; his sister Wei Guifei She is the concubine of His Majesty Li Er, the first of the "four ladies" who worshiped in April of the first year of Zhenguan...
Wei Yuantong and his like are just a branch of Jingzhao Weishi, but they have already become the leaders in Guanzhong!
He has been serving as the minister of punishment since the third year of Zhenguan. He has the support of his family and his own hard work, but he has always been relegated to the deputy position. How can he be willing to do so?
How could Liu Dewei, an old man, be able to sit on his head and dominate him for a long time?
Liu Dewei looked angry and asked: "Why don't I know anything about what Minister Wei said?"
Wei Yijie replied calmly: "Shang Shu, you have many things to do every day. In addition, Shao Shao is a very old man. How can I bother you with everything because of my humble position? Therefore, for such small and unsaid things, I can just do it for you."
Liu Dewei laughed angrily: "A small thing that cannot be said? What a small thing that cannot be said! It involves the life of a second-grade high-ranking official, a dignified Jing Zhaoyin, a son of a noble family, but it is so important in your eyes Is it a small thing that cannot be said? ”
"Shang Shu Mingjian, I did not know the seriousness of this matter when I was in my humble position. Someone came to report a murder in the Huxian Post House, so I sent Duan Zun, the assistant minister, to investigate and investigate. Who expected that there would be a conflict with the officers of Jingzhao Mansion? Don't know Duan Zun. When Zun returned to the city, he actually captured a thief, and he was able to find a piece of evidence about Fang Jun..."
Duan Zun was not one of the ministers on the left or right, but a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment.
However, in the former Sui Dynasty, among the six tribes, it was common to refer to a doctor as a minister, and the honorific titles "left" and "right" were added in front of the real minister to distinguish...
Wei Yijie downplayed and shied away the responsibility.
Liu Dewei nodded and said: "In that case, then this matter can be handled by Wei Shilang and has nothing to do with this official."
After saying that, he stood up and wanted to leave.
Don't you want to evade me?
OK, I'll give you this opportunity.
Anyway, this is a puddle of muddy water, and I still have to think about how to get out. If I see you scrambling to get in, then just get in!
I am over sixty years old and have been in great glory for a long time. So what if I am pushed out of office by you?
Absolutely no involvement in this kind of thing.
Wei Yijie was a little stunned by Liu Dewei's reaction, but soon understood what Liu Dewei was thinking.
The golden cicada sheds its shell...
Quickly give Changsun Jun a wink.
Changsun Jun hurriedly said: "Shang Shu, please stay! I have something to give to Shangshu."
Liu Dewei sneered: "You are already colluding, what do you have to do with me? You are seeking your own death, and I will help you."
Changsun Jun hurriedly took out a piece of letter from the sleeve of his robe, handed it over with both hands, and said: "Shang Shu Mingjian, this is the handwriting of His Highness King Guo..."
Prince Li Feng of Guo is Liu Dewei’s son-in-law...
Liu Dewei valued this son-in-law very much. He didn't know what the letter said, and he was afraid of ruining his son-in-law's important affairs, so he had to take it.
Liu Dewei looked at it carefully, his face suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "You are going to do your own business, why are you dragging others into the water?"
My stupid son-in-law was actually involved in this matter...
Wei Yijie remained silent.
Another right servant, Zhang Yunji, looked up at the sky.
Sun Jun, the eldest son, said sadly: "My brother died tragically, and my father's hair turned gray overnight. He was heartbroken. If the murderer is not eliminated, how can we show the power of God and uphold justice? Please also ask the minister to not be afraid of power and uphold justice!"
Liu Dewei's mind was spinning, thinking about the gains and losses.
Judging from the situation, not only Wei Yijie was involved, but Zhang Yunji was also involved. The entire criminal department was probably bribed, and he was completely alone. Moreover, if King Guo can write this letter to himself to persuade him to participate, it will definitely be difficult to get rid of the relationship...
After a while, he angrily waved his sleeves and said: "I don't even bother to associate with people who are like flies and dogs!"
Immediately retreat to the back hall.
The remaining officials in the hall were all stunned...
Changsun Jun asked: "Shilang Wei... what should we do?"
Wei Yijie pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter, Minister is just worried for a moment. If you calm down, you will definitely see the situation clearly. At the worst, you will stay out of the matter and have nothing to do with the overall situation." Then he turned to Zhang Yunji who was opposite: "Secretary Zhang, please What do you think?”
Zhang Yunji smiled and said calmly: "Under the Secretariat, with Wei Shilang as my esteem, everything is up to you to decide."
Since ancient times, the left has been respected.
Wei Yijie cursed secretly: Old fox!
This is a combination of wanting to reap the dividends but also wanting to stay out of it and not take responsibility!
However, he has no patience to fight with this old cunning man. Now he must establish the case with ironclad evidence, so that those who promised to work with him will keep their promises and push himself to the throne of the Minister of Punishment...
Wei Yijie immediately took over the lobby of the Ministry of Justice.
"Submit the physical evidence first. If it is confirmed to be correct, Fang Jun will be arrested and brought to justice."
The private scribe put the jade pendant obtained from Cheng Wuting on a tray and presented it to Wei Yijie's desk.
Wei Yijiezai took a careful look and asked, "Mr. Changsun, what is this?"
Changsun Jun replied: "This jade pendant belongs to Queen Wende. It is an ancestral treasure of the Changsun family. It was used as a dowry when Queen Wende married His Majesty. It was very popular with Queen Wende. Queen Wende After the funeral, His Majesty gave it to Princess Jinyang as a token of longing. Later, Princess Jinyang gave it to her. It was given to Fang Jun, and everyone inside and outside the palace knew about it. But now this jade pendant appeared in my brother's hand, and he was holding it tightly before he died. It can be seen that Fang Jun must have been killed when he committed the crime. My brother took advantage of his unpreparedness, and this gave me a clue to his death."
Wei Yi nodded, turned to look at the officials of the Ministry of Justice, and asked: "Do you have anything to say?"
One of the chief officials said: "I believe Mr. Changsun would not make up such lies to deceive us. Since His Majesty and His Highness Jinyang both know about this jade pendant, wouldn't it be obvious if he lied? Therefore, at the very least, Fang Jun should have been at the scene when Chang Sun Dan died. Fang Jun was closely involved in Chang Sun Dan’s death.”
The rest all agreed.
Regardless of whether he is secretly colluding with Wei Yijie or siding with Fang Jun, this logic cannot be denied.
Wei Yijie said: "In that case, let's arrest Fang Jun first, then arrange for the interrogation of witnesses and order him to confront Fang Jun in court."
All officials agreed.
He immediately ordered the government officials to go to Jingzhao Mansion to apprehend Fang Jun and bring him to justice.
It's an "arrest", there is no driving sticker, and there is no paperwork.
Fang Jun has been treated as a prisoner...
*****
"What? Cheng Wuting was captured by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs officers?"
Fang Jun asked in shock.
A small leader of the Jingzhao Prefecture's patrol room wiped his sweat and replied: "Exactly! I was on duty not far from Jinguang Gate at that time. Youtun Camp sent soldiers to block Jinguang Gate for some unknown reason and strictly check the people who came in and out. Cheng Canjun was probably returning from outside the city, and was captured by soldiers from Youtun camp. He followed them all the way, and when he saw them, they escorted Cheng Canjun directly into the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice..."
He didn’t know what mission Cheng Wu had to go out of the city to handle, but the dignified Jingzhao Mansion Secretary Lu joined the army but was captured by Youtun Camp and then sent to the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment...
No matter how I looked at it, it seemed unusual, so I hurried over to report it to Fang Jun.
Fang Jun looked solemn.
He didn't know yet whether Cheng Wuting had obtained any evidence against him in the Huxian Post House, but Cheng Wuting must have discovered something if he hurried back to Chang'an in such a hurry.
If there really is any evidence...
Now it must have fallen into the hands of the Ministry of Justice.
Is it just that Liu Dewei, the Minister of Justice, was also involved?
Even if he was not involved, just staying out of it would be very bad...
There was a call at the door, and officials from the Ministry of Punishment were coming...(End of Chapter)
