Chapter 477: The memorial and dossier of the first half of the morning
Chapter 477 The memorial and dossier of Zaozhong's half-person height
Three days after Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Meng Er were taken to Jingzhao Mansion, Meng Er relented and confessed to the fact that he, together with the demon Rongri, used witchcraft to assassinate the Jiang family.
What made Jiang Erye even more angry was that before the concubine Li Qiao enshrined the puppet shooter and wanted to exchange the life of Jiang Muyan or Jiang Liu for her daughter to be reincarnated into her womb, Meng Er engraved the Rongri system with extremely vicious characters. The cursed plank was buried in the pond in the Jiang's garden. Later, Erye Jiang dug for toads in the pond in order to treat his daughter's illness. Meng Er feared that the wooden planks would be dug out by him, and they were taken away secretly at night. This board was also found by Yachai in Rongri's Taoist temple. This piece of wood has transformed the feng shui pool of the Jiang family into a life-threatening pool of grievances!
After returning home from Jingzhao Mansion, Erye Jiang went straight to the East Branch of the West Courtyard, and now he is eager to see his little girl. It was noon at this time, this fat girl was lying on the black stone in the courtyard, with her small mouth open, her belly rising and falling with her breathing, and she slept soundly. The light passing through the peach leaves fell on her, burning Jiang Erye's eyes.
He sat on the padded black stone and looked at the green peaches the size of an apricot on the tree. Ya Zheng, who got the news, came over, saw this scene at the gate of Kuayuan, and backed out again, instructing Sister-in-law Qi to guard the gate of the courtyard, so that no one would disturb their father and daughter.
Jiang Erye stayed with his daughter for a while, then left the courtyard without looking back and returned to Jingzhao Mansion.
In the next half month, the three adults of Dali Siqing, the governor of Jingzhao and the imperial censor frequently came and went to the palace and the cabinet. There was nowhere to listen to the details, but the face of Wanzai became more and more ugly every day. It also moved back half a month for an excuse, which shows how seriously Long live this case. At this critical moment, the yamen chatting and chatting in various yamen also became extremely busy. The three brothers from the Jiang family also discussed matters in the study until late at night, and Erye Jiang, who was the most idle on weekdays, lost a smile on his face.
Finally, on the last day of April, Jiang Erye and his third brother Jiang Huai sent the eldest brother to the outside of the imperial city and watched him walk into Jingfengmen step by step. Outside the palace, officials who were preparing to go to court saw Jing Jiliang, Zhang Wenjiang, and Xiao Junping standing outside the palace gate with expressionless faces, each holding a file that was more than an inch thick. This is not the end, Jing Jiliang is still standing behind the three most powerful censors in the censor station, and they each hold a one-foot-thick memorial! The civil and military officials were in various hearts and minds, for fear that there would be their own names on the piles of files.
It was very quiet this morning. Seeing that the ministers had nothing to report, Emperor Jing He asked about the progress of Meng An's case. Jing Jiliang, the doctor of the Censor Station, Xiao Junping, the minister of Dali Temple, and Zhang Wenjiang, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, who had been prepared for a long time, knelt down after work. Chao Wenwu held his breath and waited, Qin Tianye's deep eyes rolled around the three of them, and turned to look at Yin Qian.
Yin Qian stood at the head of the civil servants, holding three elephant watts. Although Qin Tianye didn't know what he wrote on the elephant wat, he knew that he also wanted to serve. The corners of Qin Tianye's mouth had a smile, and he gently stroked the Moyu finger on the thumb of his left hand, and watched how the group of people were going to toss.
Zhang Wenjiang said, "Long live the minister, Meng Huizhou sent people to An Yunchang's mansion to try to kill An Yunchang and confessed his crime. The killer sent by Meng Huizhou and the servants of the An family can also testify. Meng Huizhou can also testify. This is to make An Yunchang alone bear the crime of burning the official documents of the Ministry of Punishment and criminals six years ago."
"Wow—" There was a commotion among the officials. Even though he was mentally prepared, no one would have thought that Zhang Wenjiang would come up with the fire case of the Ministry of Punishment six years ago. This is a big taboo in the DPRK!
Jing Hedi's gaze swept across the court martial arts, and everyone quieted down. Zhang Wenjiang continued, "An Yunchang was responsible for the fire in the Punishment Department six years ago, but he said that he was instructed by Meng Huizhou, and Meng Huizhou said that An Yunchang had falsely accused him."
Jinghe Di thought for a moment, and then asked, "Since the fire case of the Ministry of Punishment has nothing to do with Meng Huizhou, why did he kill An Yunchang to silence him?"
Xiao Junping said, "Long live. Meng Huizhou killed An Yunchang to silence him because he was afraid that An Yunchang would reveal that Meng Huizhou framed the soldiers to kill Jiang Mian, the minister of punishment."
There was a commotion in the court hall again, all eyes turned to Jiang Mian, the eldest son of Jiang Mian, who was standing at the bottom of the hundred officials, Jiang Song, the middle-ranking officer of the Ministry of Rites. Jiang Song has been waiting for this moment for six years, the bamboo wat in his hand trembled, he knelt on the ground with his official robe up, and touched the ground with his head.
Jinghe Diwang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at Jiang Song kneeling in the hall door, and immediately thought of Jiang Feng, who had not seen him for a long time. His eyes turned back to Xiao Junping, and he asked solemnly, "Xiao Qing, can you find out the case of Meng Huizhou's murder of Jiang Mian?"
Xiao Junping paid his respects again, "Long live this minister, the evidence of this case is conclusive. In August of the first year of Jinglong, Meng Huizhou, who was the minister of the punishment department at the time, heard that Mr. Du, the minister of the punishment department, might be promoted. On the night that Yunchang set fire to the Punishment Department, Jiang Mian, who was also serving as the minister of Punishment Department, was fascinated by drugs. He then hung it on the beam of the house and wrote a confession in Jiang Mian's handwriting, blaming Jiang Mian for An Yunchang's burning of the Punishment Department. Mian, Meng Huizhou has confessed to this and has signed it."
Emperor Jinghe held the armrest of the dragon chair, and the situation was condensed on his face. The **** chief Yang Fenghe, the general in front of the hall, and Kong Fengge, who was standing beside him, had already raised his spirits to prepare.
"Only a confession cannot be convicted. The minister asked Meng Huizhou to silently write the suicide note he wrote to blame Jiang Mian in prison, and retrieved the 'suicide note' left by Jiang Mian from the Ministry of Punishment, and then went to Jiang's house. He took Jiang Mian's manuscript, together with many evidences of Meng Huizhou's imitation of Jiang Mian's handwriting seized by An's family and Meng's family, and carefully compared these handwritings. The officials unanimously confirmed that the suicide note was indeed forged by Meng Huizhou, please take a look at it." Xiao Junping took out a thick stack of files from his sleeves and put his hands on the top of his head.
Jing Hedi nodded slightly, Yang Feng went down and took the file, and presented it to the imperial survey. The eyes of all the ministers moved page by page with Wan Sui's hand flipping the dossier, and they were all estimating the magnitude of Meng Huizhou and An Yunchang's crimes.
Xiao Junping continued, "Meng Huizhou's handwriting imitating Jiang Mian in the file was written by his left hand, and the book of poems under the file was written by Meng Huizhou's right hand. Meng Huizhou worshipped Jiang Mian's father when he was young, and he and Jiang Mian's classmate studied for more than ten years, and then served as an official with the yat for 20 years. He was very familiar with Jiang Mian's handwriting and style of writing, so he imitated it so vividly that he deceived the adults who investigated the case back then."
At that time, several adults from Cha Jiangsong set fire to the punishment department when the boulder fell to the ground and knelt down to plead guilty. Everyone knew that Jiang Mian was wronged. The reason why Jiang Mian was overworked and overturned the candle and burned the punishment department hastily closed the case because it was the easiest way to conclude the case and involved the fewest people.
Chao Wenwu officials looked at the right minister Qin Tianye who was standing still in front, and he knew very well that the truth is here, who would dare to investigate?
After Wanzai finished turning over the dossier, the imperial censor Jing Jiliang said loudly, "Long live the minister, Meng Huizhou, An Yunchang and other officials of the Ministry of Punishment have been dereliction of duty in recent years and the amount of corruption has reached one million; Meng Huizhou's second son, the former Dali Temple, commented on the matter. Meng Xunli, together with Han Shan Guan Yao Dao Rong Ri, used witchcraft to harm Jiang Song’s family twice, in an attempt to cut off the Jiang family’s descendants through sorcery. To deceive the people, the dossier is here, please take a long look."
Jing Jiliang and the two censors piled up the half-person-high memorials and files in front of them. The thick papers were so heavy that people could hardly breathe.
Jiang Song had tears in his eyes, clenched his hands into fists, and waited with bated breath.
