Chapter 416
Although Cao Song was confident, he looked a little embarrassed. There was a hole in his elbow, with blood stains faintly, and his clothes were covered with soil.
When Chu Yu saw this, he was frightened and said in surprise: "What's wrong?"
Cao Yong also stood up, looked Cao Song up and down, and asked, "Is this... falling off a horse?"
Cao Song couldn't say he was disappointed when he didn't see Jinghui, but he still breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's okay, brother and sister-in-law, don't worry, just rubbish some skin!"
Cao Yong looked carefully and saw the blood stains the size of the bowl, where could he rest assured? When he reached out and touched him, Cao Song immediately felt "Ouch" in pain.
Cao Yong lifted his sleeve and looked at it. His forearm was swollen and purple.
"This is okay, are you still young?" Cao Yong couldn't help but feel annoyed, and hurriedly called someone to come over to take the medicinal wine, wipe it for him, and sent someone to invite the doctor.
Cao Song smiled "hehe" and after a long time, he looked up and said to Chu Yu, "Sister-in-law, where is the Jing girl?"
Chu Yu replied: "I'll send someone to Taoyuan to settle!"
Cao Song still laughed. Seeing his silly appearance, Cao Yong was really angry and funny, and said, "Someone else's change has happened. As for you to be happy like this, it's too unkind!"
Cao Song touched his head and smiled and said, "My brother is just happy. Thinking of... When she is in this yard now, she is happy from the bottom of her heart..."
In one sentence, Cao Yong and Chu Yu both laughed.
Cao Yong asked someone to find a set of his own clothes and asked Cao Song to change it.
Cao Song changed his clothes and realized that he was a little hungry. He raised his head and said, "Sister-in-law, my brother is busy rushing into the city. I haven't had enough food yet. Is there anything I can eat? Let me mat it!"
After hearing this, Chu Yu first brought him a plate of snacks from the cabinet, and then asked someone to go to the kitchen to deliver the meal.
Cao Song took the plate of snacks and swept it clean in two mouthfuls.
When Cao Yong saw his eyes bright and did not know the pain in his wounds, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This child was really unaware of sorrow.
After a while, the food was served, Cao Song also ate two bowls of rice as if he was swallowed whole.
After dinner, he couldn't sit still, and he didn't even put his butt on the kang, and just walked back and forth on the ground like a grinding.
Cao Yong was dizzy when he turned his eyes and said, "Sit down quickly, I don't know what your injury is, don't stretch it anymore!"
Cao Song then sat down to the kang again and grinned, "Brother, that's that...that's that..."
I was so embarrassed that I finally felt a little bit disgusted and couldn't say anything.
At this point, even if some words are not listened to, Cao Yong, as his elder brother, must explain them clearly.
"Second brother, you are now in your prime, so you should not be a child. There are some things you need to know in your mind!" After thinking about it, Cao Yong said, "This kind of change happened in the Dong E family. Although Jinghui is temporarily avoiding our family, you may be able to meet each other and relieve your thoughts, but what will happen in the future? Speaking of which, our two families are worthy of it. If we change the method and talk to the second wife, we will not be hopeless. But now, things are different. Have you ever thought about it? How to talk to your mother?"
Cao Song slowly stopped laughing, his expression became solemn, and he said, "Don't worry, brother, I have thought about it since I was fighting the New Year. In the chaos, he wanted to protect her, nor could he disobey her mother, and he was very embarrassed. But a few days ago, the words of Xiaosan'er made his younger brother enlightened. Yes, the mother wants to be annoyed, and the mother wants to exhale, and the younger brother is next to her, so she will never be wronged."
Seeing that he was speaking resolutely, Cao Yong patted his shoulder and said, "Life is not as simple as touching the upper lip. No matter what you think in front of you, you should hurry up and make an idea now. No matter how the Dong E family's lawsuit is settled, Jinghui's situation will only be more difficult in the future."
"Brother, aren't we there?" Cao Song was a little puzzled when he heard what he said.
Cao Yong shook his head and said, "We are not her tribe members, and our relatives are far away. Although the old lady sent her granddaughter to our mansion, when the news about Dong E's family spread tomorrow, there will be no need for any people in Jinghui's tribe members and relatives and elders."
At that time, the patriarchal law and national law were in parallel. Even if Jinghui lost her parents, her grandmother and uncle were squeezed, and other tribes were still regarded as elders.
When Cao Song heard this, he frowned and muttered, "This lawsuit can only be completed with more kung fu? It would be great if her old lady came out sooner!"
Cao Yong remembered the handwritten order that Longkodo brought back from the imperial front, and asked the Ministry of Justice to interrogate before the Holy Lord left Beijing to escape the summer vacation. Today is April 17th, and the Holy Lord planned to leave Beijing for twenty years, which is only three days.
Now, the Ministry of Justice has begun interrogation!
As Cao Yong expected, several officials gathered in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice.
Now the Minister of the Ministry of Justice is Laidu. He was originally the deputy governor of Mongolian in the Inlaid Blue Banner. He was transferred to the Sixth Ministry as a minister in the first month of this year. He was not familiar with the name of punishment at all, but it was just a decoration.
The official affairs of the Ministry of Justice were mainly managed by Zhang Tingshu, the Secretary of the Han Dynasty. He was a Jinshi in the 22nd year of Kangxi. He was appointed as an editor from the Hanlin Academy Shujishi. Later, he was sent to the local area from the Hanlin Academy to the lecturer and the governor of Jiangnan. In the 44th year of Kangxi, he was promoted to the Left Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and immediately became the Right Minister of Personnel. In the 48th year of Kangxi, he was promoted to the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice.
When the prince was restored, Zhang Tingshu was once the enthronement of the enthronement. There were rumors that when Zhang Tingshu was studying in Jiangnan, he once joined the prince's uncle Soetu.
No matter what the truth is, this has become a verbal argument for other officials to criticize him, and it is really unreasonable.
Therefore, he, the Minister of Justice, was very unstable. In less than a year, he was dismissed from office for improper handling of a rice theft case.
Kangxi gave him the evaluation: he was paranoid in everything, was competitive in nature, and had the responsibility of a minister.
It was not until the 51st year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi that before and after the second deposed the crown prince, a group of six officials with the same crown prince were dismissed, and Zhang Tingshu was resurrected and became the Minister of Works.
Since Kangxi used him, he believed that he was not a princeling. If someone else made a fuss about the old things in Jiangnan from more than ten years ago, it would be useless.
Zhang Tingshu had a lot of connection with Gali. After he became the Minister of Works, he took the Manchu and Han officials to Jiangnan with Mu Helun to investigate the lawsuit between Gali and Zhang Boxing.
In addition to these two ministers, today's hall is also Dun Duoli, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Li Tao, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice. Duoli is over 80 years old and is deaf and blurred. He is just a retirement as a minister.
Li Tao was promoted from the left deputy chief censor to the minister last year. He acted quite respectfully and always did a lot and said little. He had no choice but to be able to do it. His previous right minister of the Ministry of Justice was also promoted from the left deputy chief censor to the minister, but because he was too close to the minister of Man and was suspected of relying on the prince and prince, he was dismissed.
Whether it was the two Man Qing who had always been a decoration or the two Han Qings who were both wearing tails, they were extremely indignant about the case of Gali's mother murder.
Even Dun Dun Dun Li, who has always been dozing off and not responding, also sat in the hall with his eyebrows and eyes wide open tonight, waiting for his confession.
Zhang Tingshu tried the case between Gali and Zhang Boxing in his early years, and saw Gali's trickyness. He was afraid that he would not admit his guilt. After all, he was a descendant of his meritorious service and could not be punished easily without an imperial edict.
Unexpectedly, when the trial was held at the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, Gali admitted his guilt very happily. Although he said that he was the one who made the decision and ordered people to poison the kitchen, but tortured the female servants in the kitchen and others, the one who offered his son Gan was instructed.
When the interrogation and Gandu were interrogated, Gandu confessed to the crime he committed and claimed that it was just his "villain" and his father was not aware of it.
After Gali and his son, Seerqi was the one who admitted to conspiring with his nephew to poison him, but he did not admit that he was the envoy of Gali.
Zhang Tingshu was a little confused and couldn't figure out what these people were trying to confess in this way. Could it be that they thought they could run away who would not be able to do so?
They are all descendants of Jueluo. Even if they are not poisoned by themselves, they have the idea of killing, and they are extremely disobedient and unfilial.
Because Jueluo was an imperial decree and was older, he was able to sit in the hall.
Listening to the details of the son and grandson one by one, the old man was trembling with his lips and couldn't speak, his eyes were red, but he refused to lose his composure in public.
Several ministers and ministers looked bad. When Dun Dun Dunli was young, he had an old age with Kali's father, so he watched him grow up.
After hearing that he confessed to the murder of his mother, the old man was very angry and stepped forward with a cane, slapped Gali hard, cursed: "This bastard, I know that your hands are not clean, you are burned by money, and you are so conscience!"
Gali stood there, not dodging, and was completely muddy and didn't know what he was thinking.
Although there were two ministers here, it was not really the turn of Dun Duolli, the minister, who was over 80 years old, was an old minister who had always been kind to Kangxi. Who would have been skeptical about him?
Lai Du "coughed", called two officers and helped the old minister to his seat.
Dundoli was panting, still cursing.
Lai Du looked at Zhang Tingshu. Now that the case of murdering his mother was already gone, he also seized a large amount of property in the house of Gali's wife. The charge of corruption had been decided long ago.
Now, how to judge?
Gali also has the in-laws between the Dong E clan and Prince Yu, Prince Cheng, and Jiubeizi Mansion. If this is too ugly, it may be a pity for any master to feel unhappy.
Although he did not understand the ministry, he was clear about the powerful people in the capital, otherwise he would not have climbed to this position.
What Zhang Tingshu was concerned about was Kangxi's face. This ritual was a "big filial son" among all officials praised by the emperor. Now that he had created a case of murdering his mother, it was really shocking.
Although he was also full of indignation about Gali and others' attempt to harm Jue Luo, for various reasons, he turned his head and asked Jue Luo: "Old Madam, the case is clear, you have other remarks here."
Although Gali conspired to murder his mother was a serious crime, after all, I felt that Luo was not in trouble.
Although legal principles are greater than human feelings, based on the principle of "the people do not procure and officials do not investigate", if Jue Luo changes his words to his children and grandchildren and says a few good things, he can be given a slight slight during sentencing.
Upon hearing this, Jueluo raised his head, looked at Gali and others, and shook his head slowly.
Zhang Tingshu sighed in his heart and ordered people to take Gali and others down to detain first. As for Jueluo, he also ordered people to ask for placement.
In the hall, there were only a few officials and two documents left.
Zhang Tingshu hugged Lai Du and said, "Sir, the case is clear. Should we be killed, beaten, and let go. Should we be sentenced to lighter or severely?"
Lai Du was thinking about being gentle, but he felt that Luo didn't speak and had no room for slightness, so he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
At this time, someone said, "As a minister, Gali was greedy and murdered his mother. He was extremely unfaithful and filial, so he should be sentenced seriously!"
However, the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince arrived together, and several officials quickly stood up to take the salute.
Before the preliminary trial, the Ministry of Justice sent someone to the Eighth Prince's Mansion and invited the chief prince to come over. The Eighth Prince only said that he was sick and asked several officials to examine him first.
The eighth prince nodded to everyone and was asked to sit in the main seat after being arrested. He picked up the file he had just recorded on the case and hurriedly read it, but he knew it.
Lai Du bowed and said, "Eighth Master, although Gali has confessed, he seems to have something else to do when he sees his brother and his son's confession."
The eighth prince shook his head and said, "Gali is an unfaithful and unfilial person. But now he is still clever and arrogant. How can he have any hidden information? This is a case chosen by the Emperor Ama, and it is also a major case of disobedience. How can he raise it up and let it go gently?"
"Yeah, I know!" Lai Du bowed and responded, signaling Zhang Tingshu to close the case.
Since there was a prince who stood up, Zhang Tingshu had no choice but to obey the orders and called two criminal names and drafted a preliminary judgment: Gali's murder of his legitimate mother was a sin of unforgivable crime, and he was executed immediately; Gali's younger brother Seerqi, and Zigan was an accomplice, and he was killed by the Marquis of Jian; Gali's wife was also a crime of disobedience, and he slapped the Marquis of Jian; Seerqi's son Gan Tai was sent to Heilongjiang as a labourer, and his family property was merged into the official position.
The eighth prince saw it, but was dissatisfied. He changed Gali to Lingchi, Seerqi and his wife changed it to kill him, and Gali's wife changed it to the slaughter.
When I came out of the Ministry of Revenue, it was already midnight. The Ninth Prince asked some questions and asked, "Brother, do you need to do this?"
