Chapter 386 Old Case
It is naturally impossible for Li Jingzhe to talk to Fu Qingzhou in this "tea room".
But this time Fu Qingzhou did not take the elevator. Instead, he followed Li Jingzhe up a long staircase, went down to the second floor, and went to a special small room similar to a study.
This seems to be Li Jingzhe's "office".
It’s just that this small room is very messy. The desk and the bookcases on both sides are all filled with various files and arranged in an extremely messy manner.
Li Jingzhe walked behind the table and sat down. He looked at Fu Qingzhou and said in a deep voice: "You came to Beijing this time to investigate the case of Tang Zhun, the former minister of the Ministry of Rites?"
"Exactly."
< br>Fu Qingzhou responded: "Back then, Mr. Ning promised the grassroots to give them the power to act conveniently and re-investigate the Tang Zhun case."
"Yes." Li Jingzhe said lightly: "Did you know that Tang Zhun's case was re-investigated?" What crime was committed that year?"
Fu Qingzhou shook his head.
"He is just an inconspicuous person in a big case."
Li Jingzhe said, reaching out to take a picture.
On the messy bookcase on the side, a dossier suddenly flew out and fell steadily into his hands.
He did not hand the file to Fu Qingzhou, but unfolded it himself. After a quick glance, he said slowly: "In the spring of the tenth year of Qianhao, the Hongjiang dredging project was completed. My emperor led all civil and military officials to perform sacrifices. May heaven and earth bring good weather and peace to the country and the people."
"However, after May, Shen Rongsheng, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, impeached the minister of the Ministry of Industry and some officials for embezzlement of sewage project funds... which also involved. The sacrificial ceremony after the project is completed is extremely involved.”
Having said this, Li Jingzhe closed the file with a snap and looked up at Fu Qingzhou: "Tang Zhun, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, is the official responsible for the accounting and procurement of the sacrifice ceremony. He is suspected of colluding with the officials of the Ministry of Works and embezzling large sums of money. "After that, he added: "Later, after investigation, the facts of the case were correct. My emperor was furious, and a total of eighty-six people from top to bottom were held accountable. Receive punishment.”
Fu Qingzhou’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Is this... such a big case?
Tang Jiao was still young when she left the capital, so she naturally didn't know much about these things. Fu Qingzhou was afraid of touching the wounds in her heart, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Although Li Jingzhe only said a few words at this time, Fu Qingzhou was no fool, and he immediately understood how big this case was!
Hongjiang River is the largest river in Dayan.
The water conservancy project many years ago must have cost a lot of money and involved many state capitals. After it was settled, the emperor personally led hundreds of civil and military officials to offer sacrifices, which shows that the imperial court attached great importance to this project.
Although Tang Zhun was only suspected of corruption at the sacrificial ceremony, this matter was connected with the water conservancy project corruption case and it was impossible to discuss it separately.
Therefore, what might have been just a crime of dismissal from the job, but ended up with a family being destroyed.
Thinking of this, Fu Qingzhou raised his eyes slightly and asked softly: "Master Li, was Mingjiange responsible for investigating this case at the beginning?"
Hearing this, Li Jingzhe's lips curved into a chuckle, but he couldn't explain it. mean.
"You are quite perceptive."
He said calmly: "Mingjiange was indeed involved in this case - it was just that the case at that time was very large and involved a wide range of things, and it could not be dealt with one by one. Fully responsible. Therefore, the Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Mingjiange are all involved in this case."
Fu Qingzhou took a deep breath.
This matter is much more complicated than he imagined...
He originally thought it was Tang Zhun's case, but now it seems that it is an old super case!
At that time, eighty-six officials were brought to justice in this one case, and these were just officials!
The other people involved will only increase exponentially, and that’s not even mentioned.
Tang Jiao said that Tang Zhun was wrongly accused... If he wanted to be wronged, it would definitely not be possible to wrongly accuse him alone. If it's not that he was wronged, then... this big case needs to be reviewed again?
Thinking of this, Fu Qingzhou's head started to feel dizzy.
What is this? Are we going to make ten episodes of Detective Di Renjie?
"What, are you scared?" Li Jingzhe sneered: "I'm not afraid to tell you that I was also involved in this case back then. There are not many doubts in it. The clues are clear and the logic is reasonable. There is almost no miscarriage of justice... Although this officer has not read Tang Zhun's case file, it is probably..."
Before he finished speaking, Fu Qingzhou interrupted him and said calmly: "There are not many doubts, but there are still some doubts? ”
Li Jingzhe narrowed his eyes.
The two looked at each other without saying anything. After a while, the secret envoy commander of Mingjian Pavilion slowly said: "Yes, but why am I telling you?"
Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows: "Master Ning..."
"Don't use Mr. Xiangjianshi to pressure me."
Li Jingzhe said lightly: "Your Majesty's instructions are very clear. , to make it easier for you and Tang Jiao to investigate this case, but I have never said that I, Mingjiange, would waste manpower and resources to accompany you to investigate this old case."
Fu Qingzhou frowned slightly: "Then, may I ask Lord Ning, when will you return to the capital?"
"I don't know."
Li Jingzhe leaned back and leaned on the back of the Taishi chair: "My lord took the second young lady out of the capital. No one knows their whereabouts, and I don't know about them either."
Fu Qingzhou's brows jumped. Ning Baimei was not there, and Ning Wushu was also taken away. What?
What should I do if I don’t give you any clues?
But seeing Li Jingzhe's attitude, there was no chance of getting any clues from him.
"In this case, the common people know it."
After thinking for a moment, Fu Qingzhou decided not to argue here. He slightly cupped his hands: "Then I dare to ask Mr. Li, if there is a file for the common people. ? Or the relevant investigation documents? Otherwise, how can the grassroots interrogate the relevant personnel when investigating the case?" Hearing his question, Li Jingzhe's eyes flashed with displeasure.
But he still reached under the table and then threw it away.
Fu Qingzhou reached out to catch the object and looked down...
"Mingjian Zhishipai!"
His eyes lit up.
This jade sign is exactly the same as the one he gave Hua Xiaolan in the Ten Thousand Poison Mountains. The jade sign is completely black, with dragons and phoenixes carved on it. It is so gorgeous. It is light, thin, and warm. , wrote the four characters "Ming Jian Zhi Shi".
“During this period, you will be my special envoy of Mingjiange.”
Li Jingzhe curled his lips slightly and said: "With this card, you can go anywhere in the world except the imperial palace. All civil and military officials below the third rank will treat you with courtesy and accept your inquiries."
Fu Qingzhou raised the corners of his mouth.
Obviously, this was what Ning Baimei left for him.
This Master Ning is pretty good to me.
But just when he was about to hand over his hand to say thank you, he heard Li Jingzhe's voice darken again: "But remember, you can only use this sign to investigate the case of people related to Tang Zhun. If you dare to move it, If you use it for other purposes, I will personally cut you into eighteen pieces, and even the gods will not be able to save you.”
Fu Qingzhou coughed lightly.
Don't say it, he really wants to use this brand to act cheaply and clear his grievances for his good brother Yue Heng... But it's okay, there is no need for a brand, there are other ways to fake it...
"In addition, there is one more thing."
Li Jingzhe tapped his fingers on the table and said calmly: "You helped defeat the Northern Yi people's conspiracy in Luoyi and captured the young Northern Yi prince Mannar. There are rewards from the court - your Majesty will personally reward you when the second lady returns. Please leave your address and wait for the imperial edict."
