247: Animals
At the end of the first lunar month, officers and soldiers from various prefectures arrived at their destinations one after another, and the garrisons were built one after another at the end of last year, which was a European court mandatory rule.
Especially when the prefects in various places learned that this was a garrison built for the garrison officers and soldiers, they did not dare to neglect them, and they all came strictly according to the standards.
In early February, a group of twelve members of the Jinyiwei arrived in Yuzhou, and the leader of the team this time was Tianwu, a generation-class Tianzi.
The Jinyiwei currently has the Twelve Emperors of Emperors in Chang'an City. Each group has twelve small leaders, one of which is the captain of the guards, and each guard has a hundred inspectors with great martial arts skills. Anyone who these people want to investigate will not be found in a few years.
Even if you meet some corrupt officials who are anxious, as long as one person can escape back, the Jinyiwei will definitely report it. At that time, the only thing waiting for you will be the army, and you will definitely die.
Everyone in the Jinyiwei is full of blood-stained masters. No matter how many people the other party is, someone here wants to escape, and the other party will definitely not have the chance to beat them all in one place.
When the flying fish suit arrived in Yuzhou, the prefect of Yuzhou was already frightened. Wherever the flying fish suit appeared, there must be grievances. This is something that many people know very well, whether it is a court official or a commoner in the world.
As soon as Tian Wu arrived in front of the prefectural yard of Yuzhou Prefecture, a middle-aged couple came up among the crowd who were watching. With a "thump", they knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Tian Wu and others several times, and then looked up, their foreheads were red, swollen and bloody.
"Sir, please seek justice for the people."
Tian Wu looked down at the middle-aged couple, lit their chins at the people around him, and went up to help the couple up.
"The report letter was sent to the capital by you two?" Tian Wu asked.
"It's the two Caomins." The man said tremblingly, and on the one hand he was also afraid.
This time, the couple took the initiative. After all, they complained to the prefect in front of the prefect that if the other party is protected by officials, their lives will be explained here today.
But they had no choice. Their son, daughter-in-law and a pair of grandsons were killed by the son of the prefect. They came to the lobby of the prefect to seek justice, but were beaten and driven out by the prefect's people.
The people sued the officials, but no one dared to do this. The two of them were desperate.
There was only one son in the two of them. Many years ago, they devoted all their family property to arrange marriage for their son and married a daughter-in-law. Fortunately, the daughter-in-law was filial and kind, and she gave birth to two grandsons in a row within two or three years.
But at the end of last year, the son and daughter-in-law took their two grandsons to purchase New Year's goods outside. The son of the prefect's family fell in love with their daughter-in-law's beauty and brought the slave to tease him. The son was angry and went forward to argue with the other party. Who knew that he was beaten by the other party's family slave, and his daughter-in-law was also kidnapped by the prefect's son.
The other party even threatened his daughter-in-law with two grandsons to obey.
In desperation, the daughter-in-law had to endure the humiliation and commit herself to each other for the sake of her two grandchildren.
But who expected that not long after being captured at the prefect's house, the two grandsons were thrown into the deep well in the backyard by the slaves of the prefect's family in the night. When they learned that their two sons were killed, their daughter-in-law rose up and wanted to die with each other, but the prefect's son was penetrated with a sword and died on the spot.
When he learned that his wife and son were both killed, he was already brutal and beaten his son who was ill in bed, and he also ate that night.
It was supposed to be a happy Spring Festival, and the rest of the family were reuniting, but there were only two elderly couples who were still surviving and only hoped to seek justice for their son, daughter-in-law and grandson.
"What are you doing? Is this your nonsense?" Before Tian Wu could speak, a few yamen runners rushed out from behind the prefect of Yuzhou and stepped forward and prepared to take action.
But the next moment, a long sword with a slightly curved edge in front was directly inserted into the ground on the two fingers of the toes of the yamen runner in front. If the other party raises his foot and takes a step forward, the sharp sword light will inevitably cut the other party's feet.
At this time, the blade exposed outside was still making trembling sounds.
"The new law of the Great Zhou Dynasty clearly stipulates that those who are wronged are investigated and those who are falsely accused are punished. Whenever local governments encounter people who seek justice, they shall not be kept out of the door under any excuse, and they shall not be humiliated and beaten and scolded the sued before the case is clarified. Once discovered, they shall be dismissed and investigated and punished accordingly. During the trial of the case, those who cause serious life danger to the plaintiff and the defendant will face life imprisonment. Those who directly kill both parties will be sentenced to death."
Tianwuyi said it very clearly, and the sharp eyes were filled with frost that shocked the viewer.
He was a killer with a name in Tianzi. He had killed many people before, but later, Jin Baan washed his hands and became the captain of the 12 guards under the command of the Jinyiwei. He followed the commander to inspect the officials in the world and had long abandoned the past.
Now that he has a wife and a child, his life is quiet and happy, he naturally hopes that the world will be peaceful and the people will live and work in peace, so that his wife will not be worried about him at home.
At the same time, because of the murders that I once committed, I now want to use my own strength to protect more people.
He will not forgive his sins by himself, and God will be merciful to his wife and children.
Tian Wu took out a token from his waist, "The Jinyiwei belongs to His Majesty today, and the Emperor is directly under the yamen. Do you dare to insult and rule the people at will in front of the Jinyiwei? Lord Wei, do you know your crime?"
When Lord Wei saw the golden dragon token, he was so scared that he fell to the ground. The prefectural office also knelt all over the ground behind him.
Seeing this, the people next to them knelt down and shouted long live the emperor.
They have been bullied by the Wei Prefecture for too long. Not to mention that he has a greedy son and a greedy and vicious daughter. Even the prefect also forced a beautiful woman from time to time. No matter whether the other party is a good woman or a married woman, he will not let her go.
Before, the Yuzhou Prefecture was rebellious. Unfortunately, the officials of the Western Chu court protected each other. Yuzhou was even more far away from the Western Chu Imperial City. They had no way to seek justice and no way to die.
"Xiao Gao, you lead a group of brothers to surround the prefecture."
"Xiaoqi, take a team of people to the market to investigate."
"The rest of the people followed me into the mansion and temporarily detained the magistrate's prefecture and others in their respective rooms. Without my order, no one is allowed to enter and exit the gate of the magistrate's prefecture at will."
"yes!"
More than a hundred people have already begun to act.
When Magistrate Wei heard the news, he was so scared that his legs were weak.
He held the people around him and stood firmly, and said to Tianwu with a white face: "You can't do this, I'm a fourth-rank official in the court."
"Don't say you are only a fourth-rank official, even if you are a king, prince, general, and minister, you will be suspended for investigation if you make a mistake." Tian Wu's face remained unchanged, "Otherwise, what would Lord Wei think the duties of the Jinyiwei? Defense centers in various places mediate disputes among the people, and the Jinyiwei specializes in supervising bureaucrats in the world."
"Well said!" Among the onlookers, a young young man waved his arms and shouted, "Long live Your Majesty, Long live Da Zhou!"
"A man came to detain all his subordinates such as Lord Wei and Yuzhou Prefecture in the back hall. No one is allowed to flee the prefecture without authorization. Once discovered, all of them will be imprisoned. Those who resist stubbornly will be killed on the spot."
"yes!"
More than a dozen Jinyiwei, pressing his palms on the hilt of the knife, took all the subordinates of the prefecture, including Wei and other officials to the back hall of the prefect. After the trial of this case, those who were wronged will naturally be rehabilitated. If the evidence is conclusive, they will be escorted back to Beijing and handed over to the Ministry of Justice for trial and sentence.
The magistrate Wei wanted to resist, but the people below had to dare to do so. After all, resisting with the Jinyiwei was an intention to rebel, which might harm his family at that time. They had to consider the consequences.
The old couple's surname is Chen. When they learned that the Jinyiwei would argue for the case for them, they cried and collapsed in front of the prefect's office, and they couldn't even pull it up.
The Jinyiwei has no right to punish him, otherwise the magistrate Wei and others would not have been detained in the back hall, and they would still offer delicious food and drinks every day.
However, once the plaintiff's complaint is confirmed, all the Wei family will be taken to the capital for trial, and the bureaucrats in Yuzhou will be held accountable.
"Boss." A tall and thin man came to Tianwu and "found it."
"Let's go!" Tian Wu took the people and left the prefectural prefecture with great strides.
In the past two days, the Jinyiwei has been looking for the bodies of the three murdered mother and son, and now it has finally been found.
Now the Jinyiwei searched for evidence and was wearing gloves specially provided by the Jinyiweiyiwei Office. Although it was made of fabric, it was very thin and was mainly because it was afraid that it would leave its own fingerprints during the investigation, which would affect the investigation of the case.
The body was found in a small wood a few miles outside the city, and was identified by the followers who followed the son of the prefect Wei.
Seeing three corpses in the pit, Tian Wu asked someone to take them back to the prefect's office directly.
When the two elders of the Chen family heard that they had found the bodies of their daughter-in-law and grandson, they hurried to the prefecture.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a body parked on a wooden board, covered with white cloth. The bulge in the middle looked like an adult, while the bulge in the two years only looked very small.
Mrs. Chen stepped forward, lifted a white cloth tremblingly, and then she fainted with a shrill scream.
Old Man Chen stepped forward and supported his wife, looking at the little man who could hardly see his original face, tears flowed wildly.
"...Beast, livestock!" He said these two words, gritted his teeth and looked ferocious.
"Take the person down and settle down for a long time." Tian Wu came in and explained. When they were about to go out, Tian Wu said: "We need coroners to take autopsy for the three of them later. You still need to nod in this matter."
Old Man Chen looked at the three corpses and nodded with red eyes, "We promise, as long as we can avenge them, we promise everything."
Coroner is the name nowadays. In fact, this time I thought that graduates from medical schools came with me. After graduation, I came to work at the Jinyiwei at the beginning of the establishment of the Jinyiwei. His Majesty said that they were forensic doctors, so they all felt that forensic doctors were better than coroners.
The body of the Chen family's daughter-in-law was investigated by a female forensic doctor under the Jinyiwei, and the two children were handed over to another male forensic doctor. After all, there is a difference between men and women. Even if there is no difference between men and women in their eyes, the ideas of the deceased's family still have to be considered.
Famous before and after death is equally important.
It took more than an hour to check, and the two of them had completed the inspection.
Female forensic doctor Cui Xianglan handed the autopsy report to Tian Wu, "The deceased died of a sharp weapon about two fingers and as thin as a cicada's wing. There were more than 20 injuries on his body. After a period of cruel treatment, there were several obvious double-row teeth marks on the back of the deceased's neck and shoulders. I think they were bitten by the other party during the joy. The bites were deep and shallow, and they were basically very clear."
Because the Chen family’s daughter-in-law died around the Spring Festival, the winter in Yuzhou was relatively cold, and the climate was similar to that in Chang'an City. Even if she was buried in the soil for more than a month, her body remained intact.
The bodies of the two children were very clear, they were drowned alive, but the Chen family's daughter-in-law needed a follow-up investigation.
"What should I do next?" Tian Wudao.
Cui Xianglan took off her gloves, "Of course, she compared the teeth marks, and at the same time she had to find the weapon. The wound of the deceased was penetrated by her chest. The weapon was supposed to be a long sword, and it was extremely sharp."
"Okay, I'll have someone go to investigate now." Tian Wu said that, and turned around and left.
Cui Xianglan and her classmate Song Wei looked at the scene in front of them, looked at each other, and saw compassion in each other's eyes.
In the back house, Wei Heng, the son of the prefect of Wei, spent the past few days in panic and fear.
He was eager to escape from here and hide in a place where no one was there, but the entire prefecture was surrounded by Jinyiwei. He sent people to sneak out in the past two days, but unfortunately no one escaped and was arrested and imprisoned.
The other party was a person with real martial arts, not the yamen runners in the prefecture, who relied on their swords and the identity of the official officer to shock the people.
If you can't live without it, there is only a dead end.
The great name of the Jinyiwei is well known to everyone. In the past two years, there are too many officials in the world who have been dealt with by the Jinyiwei. The local officials in Nanli have almost undergone major changes.
Although Western Chu had just returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty, he had heard a lot. At this time, under his own mind, he was almost scared to incontinence.
The door was pushed open, and several Jinyiwei in flying fish suits stood outside the door.
When Wei Heng saw those people, he was so scared that he collapsed on the ground.
"take away!"
"..." Wei Heng suddenly came to his senses and struggled hard until he was grabbed by two people with his arms, "I won't go, let me go, I won't go, you can let me go..."
"Don't be afraid, I'm just taking you to assist in the investigation." One of the people said with a cold face, but there was no relaxation in his hand. His slender and clean palms tightly clasped Wei Heng's arm like an iron hoop.
Wei Heng couldn't break free, but he hurt himself and his facial features became ferocious, but the other party was not afraid of him at all.
He didn't want to go, and he hoped to stay in the house even if he was locked up for the rest of his life than going outside.
Because Wei Heng knew that he might not be able to come back after leaving this house, and the next place he thought was prison.
