Chapter 1573 Impossible to Die

"No one thought that the man would die at first... He was the eunuch of the Taifu, Yin Jian, and his father was from Zuo Shaoqing Mengtai, a third-grade official. It is worth mentioning that his father was trained by Mr. Zuo Chengxin. Someone has been sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion to say hello. Prime Minister Xin has ignored government affairs for many years and only said to seek truth from facts and investigate.

It’s just an arrest, there’s not much to say…”

The Ministry of Punishment looked around from the ninth-grade secretary, wiped the sweat from his forehead in fear, and said to the row of people in front of him, almost as if begging for mercy. "Mr. Meng has three sons. This is the youngest one and the most favored one in the family. The two elder brothers in the family were both admitted to the imperial palace. Only the youngest son was reserved and specially donated. Mr. Meng is now We have long talked to our right minister, saying that he wants to supervise and interrogate the prisoners in person, but our minister does not agree. The Criminal Department and the Staff Department span two departments. On weekdays, there is a shortage of benches and chairs. The Staff Department is stuck with treasury money and refuses to approve. We Several heads of the household did not hesitate to give face to the officials, but Master Meng is from Zuo Shaoqing of the third rank after all, and he is also the disciple of Prime Minister Xin. According to the rules, in one or two years, he will be promoted to Minister, and we, Master, will be promoted. He said, "It's not appropriate to offend someone to death. How should I be sentenced?" Although the Prince Rujiang's Palace and the Imperial Uncle's Palace have sent people, we who are in the Sixth Department have always been taboo about getting too involved with our relatives, and we are afraid of letting those in Yushitai People have heard about rumors of collusion among party members.

The sound reached the emperor's ears, so..."

When the secretary said this, he really didn't dare to say anything. He trembled and gave a big salute to the group of people in front of him before sneaking away.

Yue Shansheng stopped him: "We don't want to embarrass you, but you still need to pay attention to this case."

The secretary looked like he was dying: "Your Majesty, I am just an errand boy. How can I know more? If you want to overturn the case, why not go directly to our Lord Shangshu and rely on the Queen's decree?" , Master Shangshu will always have some concerns..." "Reversal of the verdict?" In the deep dark alley, the cold man who had never spoken in the crowd raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced sharply, and looked directly into the panicked eyes of the Secretary: "The case can only be overturned after the case has been decided. It has only been thirty-six hours since the case was committed. There has been no trial and no autopsy. Why are you still here?"

In his mouth, it became a reversal of the verdict? "

The clerk stared at the man and trembled all over. He let out a hopeless "Oh" and said, "Yes, it was a small slip of the tongue! A slip of the tongue!" Yesterday at noon, a murder case occurred on the streets of Beijing. The cause was: The eunuch eunuch Meng Qi teased a common girl in the street, but the common girl looked simple and innocent, but in fact she was not a normal woman. She was accompanied by a younger brother who was very skilled. The two sides were on the verge of a fight. The younger brother pushed Meng Qi, and Meng Strange side

The servants and guards swarmed forward. Finally, the younger brother missed and knocked Meng Qi away, causing Meng Qi to die on the spot.

The incident was described by eyewitnesses as a simple fight, but there was actually more to it.

After the incident, the other two men who accompanied the sister and brother came belatedly. What they saw was that the sister was bleeding and taken to the hospital, while the brother was shackled by the Yamen guards.

…

After the secretary left this deep dark alley, Yue Shansheng met Rong Leng and Liu Wei's quiet eyes, took a deep breath, and said: "I met them on the street at that time, and they were a little involved, and we had a few words. It also delayed their meeting with Xiao Li, which ultimately led to..."

The real situation that day was that Wei Chou, Zhong Ziyu, Xiao Li, and Li Yuer went out at the same time.

After the fire in Yun Mansion, Li Yu'er was taken to Yun Xiang's house. She could hold on at first, but the little girl was so sick that she became confused. She couldn't see Xiao Li for a whole month and started crying. Liu Weirong happened to be there at that time. After Leng left Beijing, Xiao Li took Li Yu'er back to Qingzhai and lived in her parents' room. Separated by a wall, it is inevitable that people from the two courtyards will interact with each other. The Qing House is not as luxurious and spacious as the Yun House. It is small and people meet with each other every day, so it is inevitable. The great-grandfather and his great-granddaughter are incompatible with these young people. , and the silly girl, the little boy, the old naughty boy, accompanied by the four

The only young people who were considered normal and could take charge of the overall situation began to go out together and make progress together.

The same situation happened the day before yesterday. Xiao Li took Li Yu'er out to visit the market. Wei Chou and Zhong Ziyu were walking behind. During this period, Zhong Ziyu saw Yue Shansheng leading someone into a restaurant. By some strange coincidence, he also followed in.

Wei Chou was worried about Zhong Ziyu and Yue Shansheng meeting, so he asked Xiao Li to take Li Yuer to the tea shed in the market to wait for them, and they would be there soon.

Yue Shansheng easily discovered Zhong Ziyu who was following him. The two sides faced each other and started arguing. Wei Chou was a hot-tempered person. They said they were mediating in the middle, but in fact they just added fuel to the fire. In the end, they broke up on bad terms.

But when Zhong Ziyu and Wei Chou rushed to the market, what they saw was that the middle of the street was full of people. When they squeezed in, they saw the Yamen guards handcuffing Xiao Li, while Li Yuer was lying covered in blood. On the ground, he was surrounded by enthusiastic people who wanted to take him to the hospital.

…

Yue Shansheng now takes the initiative to admit his mistake. In fact, the mistake is not his fault at all.

Liu Wei tightened her face, put her right hand against her lips, and pressed the second knuckle of her middle finger on her lips, turning her lips white as she thought.

Rong Leng was beside her, half of his face hidden in the gloomy night, and there was an undercurrent in his eyes that no one could see clearly. It was indeed Meng Qi's own fault for the incident. The market was crowded with vendors. At that time, Meng Qi fell in love with Li Yu'er and wanted to touch her, but Xiao Li stopped him. At first, the two sides were peaceful, and Xiao Li also planned to settle the matter, but Meng Qi again Once when he wanted to touch Li Yu'er's butt, Xiao Li became angry.

He pushed away, and the push made the weak scholar fall down. The gangsters around Meng Qi became more energetic and stepped forward to surround the little boy. Xiao Li tried his best to hold back, otherwise with his skill, he would not be able to Possibly trapped! But Li Yu'er didn't know that when she saw Xiao Li being beaten, she bit Meng Qi like crazy, biting Meng Qi's arm until blood foamed! Meng Qi was horrified and in extreme pain, so he pushed her away and kicked her out of anger. Li Yuer knocked over a jar stall and broke the ground into pieces, while Meng Qi pushed her away.

When Meng Qi kicked her, she ducked her head back to avoid it, and the porcelain slag was pierced into her neck. Then, Meng Qi kicked her again, piercing the porcelain slag deeper and deeper. After a while, her face was filled with blood and her face was pale. fainted!

The onlookers shouted that someone was killed, and Xiao Li, who was restrained, knew that Li Yu'er was injured!

At that time, Meng Qi's feet were still on Li Yu'er's stomach. Xiao Li slapped his chest angrily and pushed Meng Qi into the tea shed. The tables, chairs and benches were all messed up on the floor. After the initial shock, Meng Qi just opened his mouth, but... He vomited a mouthful of blood, but at that time, he could still stand up.

But then, his body suddenly convulsed like a spasm, and in just a moment of breathing, he fell to the ground, refusing to close his eyes.

Xiao Li didn't look at the scene behind him at that time. He was focused on giving first aid to Li Yu'er. When he came back to his senses, Meng Qi was already dead and the Yamen guards also came.

Wei Chou and Zhong Ziyu, who had been arriving for a long time, saw this in shock. One ran back to Yun Mansion to inform, and the other found Yue Shansheng for help.

Yue Shansheng went to the Fuyin Yamen in person, but was told that the case was included in the files of the Ministry of Justice because the victim, Meng Qi, was the son of Zuo Shaoqing, a third-rank official.

The Ministry of Punishment did not look at the face of Ru Jiang's palace, but on the other hand, Wei Chou notified the Yun family, and the eldest lady Qin and the second lady Ying entered the palace urgently and reported to the queen.

The queen could not interfere directly, so she only asked the uncle's palace to intervene, and repeatedly warned that Xiao Li should not be tortured in prison.

Prince Rujiang's Palace and Uncle Guo's Palace stepped into the threshold of the Ministry of Justice at the same time, but the identities of the official Zuo Shaoqing and Prime Minister Xin were also caught in the middle. While hesitating around, the officials of the Ministry of Justice did not dare to ignore it, but did not want to compromise. In the end, things were delayed again and again. Dragging, dragging for a whole day.

This is why Liu Wei said that there was no interrogation and no autopsy.

This case cannot simply be based on the ordinary word "murder case". There are too many officials involved, and their hands are tied. It makes people doubt that there is something hidden inside. Moreover, Liu Wei did not believe that Xiao Li would kill someone impulsively. In fact, this afternoon, when they entered the Penal Department Prison and saw their son shivering in the cell, the first thing Xiao Li said to them was: " Impossible to die."
