"Whether the case is big or small, it is small. The key is how to investigate. To be big, if you destroy the foundation of the country, you will continue to investigate in one line. Half of the officials in the entire capital will be panicked and should not be afraid of involving them all day long. To be small, you will have hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay, and the problem has been solved. It is time to catch and kill, and then you will be able to give the world an explanation. This matter must be stopped at the right time!"

The old eunuch paused and added: "Don't look at Your Majesty's ignorance, his heart is like a mirror!"

Fan Xiaodao broke the casserole and asked to the end, "What does it mean to stop at the right time?"

Zhao Quan explained: "We must quell the anger of the people and beat all officials, and we must be content with our own affairs and not relax and tired. If we investigate tightly, those officials who are unprofitable and dare not do any work and live a day, this is called mediocre officials. If we investigate, they will be more frugal and act recklessly. This is called traitors. They investigate cases and understand this truth. As the saying goes, ten investigations and seven sentences are said to be three-point judgments."

Fan Xiaodao said in surprise: "What does it mean to say three-point judgment in ten or seven?"

"If you investigate a case, you have to investigate it to death. After all, no one wants to be fooled. This is called a tremendous investigation. However, some cases are very involved. Pull out the radish and bring out the mud. After investigation, you have to say seven points. Don't say what should be said and what should not be said."

"What about the three-pointer?"

Zhao Quan smiled slightly, "It is not easy for the court to train an official, but it is even more difficult for someone who can do things. Look at Xie Zhihua, although his character is not good and greedy, he has repeatedly set new highs during his tenure in the capital and his filial piety to various departments of the court during his reign. This is called a capable official, so he has been well received in the capital over the years. Even though he knows about his many problems, he has gained benefits and pretended to turn a blind eye to those private matters."

"Then you can be corrupt and abuse your power at will?"

Zhao Quan said: "What position is this? Jiangnan Transportation Commander! He is known as the position of Jiangnan God of Wealth! If you are not greedy in this position, you will not be able to do it for a long time. Even if you arrest him, get rid of him, and replace him, you will still be greedy."

Fan Xiaodao expressed disagreement, "So, can he be justified in embezzlement?"

Zhao Quan said, "The way of nature is that life and death are constant. Those greedy silver will not be brought in life or death. Those corrupt officials will sooner or later spit out the silver if they wake up in time. Otherwise, no one will start and end well. If an official does not work hard for the sake of yellow and white things, who will work so hard? Do you think everyone is a saint who cares about the world?"

These words refreshed Fan Xiaodao's perception.

However, he was still a little resentful.

"According to your opinion, will Xie Zhihua be acquitted?"

"After the accident, Xie Zhihua had already cleared relations in the court and spent a lot of money. So when it came, the court had already made a conclusion and did not want to make things worse. Niu Gong had already pleaded guilty and committed suicide for fear of crime. The matter came to him, and killing a few small fish and shrimps, it would be over. However, it shouldn't be, and it shouldn't be. Xie Zhihua did something wrong."

"What's up?"

"He hired a killer to assassinate you."

Zhao Quan took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Fan Xiaodao, "This is a letter from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Xie Zhihua when he left the capital. I thought about it and it would be better for you to pass it to him."

Xie Zhihua is from Princess Taiping, but secretly surrendered to Prince Zhu Yan, and even the eunuch in the palace knew about it.

There is no secret at all.

"Why me?"

Zhao Quan smiled, "Because he once thought about harming you!"

The letter was not sealed. Fan Xiaodao opened the letter, glanced at it briefly, and smiled coldly in his heart. So that's it. He immediately put the letter in his arms and hid it in his arms, "I will definitely deliver it!"

In the next three days, the task force brought by the imperial envoys began to check and investigate the evidence one by one, visit key personal evidence, and physical evidence. The Jinyiwei, the Censorate, Dali Temple, and the three groups of personnel took their own actions and investigated independently. The final conclusions were surprisingly consistent.
