A Clash of Gods - Chapter 905

[Chapter 895: Clear Rewards and Punishments]

Chu Mingwei took the file and read it in front of everyone. The officials didn’t know what the case was for a while, but the ingenious officials had already faintly felt that the case was probably related to Cao Sen.

Chu Mingwei finally raised his head, squinted at Cao Sen, and asked in a cold voice, “Cao Secretary, in April this year, did you know about the case of a pregnant woman in Kuaiji?”

When Cao Sen heard this, his face turned pale, and his forehead, which was already sweating, was sweating even more.

“This official asked you, do you know about the case of Ma Ta’s pregnant woman?” Chu Mingwei’s voice became cold and severe.

Cao Sen lowered his head and said in a very low voice, “I know this!”

“In April this year, the case file was submitted from Kuaiji.” Chu Mingwei said slowly: “Kaiji Ma Buren trampled a pregnant woman on horseback in the street, causing her death. This case has also been tried, and Ma Buren was sentenced to death.” He put a stack in his hand. The sub-file was thrown in front of Cao Sen: “Ma Buren should have been asked to be executed last month, why is he still alive and well, and he was released from the prison?”

“Imperial and humble!” Cao Sen’s face was ashen, and he raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his sleeve: “I carefully reviewed the file and felt that there were many doubts in it, and then re-examined it and learned that although Ma Buren stepped on a pregnant woman, But the pregnant woman didn’t die because of it, it was!”

“Fart!” Qi Ning snorted coldly: “Cao Sen, you don’t cry without seeing the coffin, do you really want this official to thoroughly investigate this case?”

At this time, the officials already understood that there must be something strange in the case of Ma Ta’s pregnant woman, and that Cao Sen may have played a disgraceful role in it.

Chu Mingwei also snorted coldly and said, “Look at yourself, all the good things you have done are in it. You changed your confession without authorization, created false evidence, and excused the murderer, so you received benefits because of this. There are confessions of witnesses, and the ins and outs of the matter. , and said it clearly!” He said sharply, “You are so bold!”

Cao Sen shivered all over, opened his mouth, but couldn’t make a sound for a while, and suddenly rolled his eyes, and the whole person was already lying on the ground.

Everyone was stunned, Chu Mingwei winked, the Xingbu Yachai stepped forward to check, and quickly replied: “Lord Butang, he passed out.”

There was a commotion all around, and Cao Sen suddenly passed out. Everyone present knew that the crime that Chu Mingwei said must be true, and that Cao Sen must have fainted because the truth was exposed in public.

Qi Ning took office as a new official today, and many people guessed that he might bring three fires, but no one thought that when Qi Ning made a move, it would be a deadly killing move. It must be extremely secretive, and no one in the Ministry of Justice knew about it, but unexpectedly, Qi Ning, who had never been in contact with the Ministry of Justice before, was able to come up with conclusive evidence.

This little Marquis has great powers, his hands and eyes can reach the sky, and many people’s hearts are already bursting.

“Pull it down and put it in the prison.” Qi Ning waved his hand: “After waking up, beat fifty sticks first, and then detain them in the prison. The officer in charge of this case will investigate carefully, and then we will deal with it according to the law. .”

Several police officers from the Ministry of Punishment immediately carried down Cao Sen, who had passed out.

Cao Sen, as one of the chief officials of the seven yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, although he is not a dignitary, he is still very powerful in the Ministry of Punishment for many years. Singing the opposite stage, but this little Marquis’s thunderous methods, three out of five and two, put Cao Sen in jail. At first, many people didn’t care about this young little Marquis, but at this time they were already a little afraid.

“Wei Yujiang!” Qi Ning sat upright and glanced at Wei Yujiang.

Wei Yujiang is just a low-level official of the Superintendent and Arrest Division of the Ministry of Punishment. Hearing Qi Ning’s greeting, he straightened his clothes and stood up and knelt down: “Wei Yujiang, the lowly post, see the Lord of the Ministry!”

“Wei Yujiang, do you still remember what happened on the Qinhuai River that night?” Qi Ning asked with a smile.

Liao Zhen’s heart tightened. That night he was handling a case on the Qinhuai River. He acted rudely and offended Qi Ning. Today, when he entered the hall and saw Qi Ning sitting high on the top, he was always panicked, lest Qi Ning settle the account in the autumn.

At this time, Qi Ning called out Wei Yujiang, and Liao Zhen’s heart sank slightly, thinking that what should come has finally come.

That night, Wei Yujiang dared to say a few words to Qi Ning to defend Liao Zhen. Liao Zhen thought that this little Marquis must have a grudge in his heart. Today, he took the opportunity to take revenge and dealt with Wei Yujiang, and then it was his turn.

Wei Yujiang looked serious and said, “Remember what Lord Huibutang said!”

Qi Ning asked: “You have a good memory, and you haven’t forgotten. This official asked you, that night you dared to contradict this official, and you were not too timid. If you were given another choice, would you dare to talk back to this official?”

Qi Ning mentioned the matter of Qinhuai River, many officials still don’t know, so when they heard Qi Ning’s words, they suddenly realized. Ruthless, at first glance, it’s not a good thing. Wei Yujiang had once contradicted him, so how could Xiao Hou Ye let it go.

Wei Yujiang bit his head and said: “Master Huibutang said that being humble and humble is not deliberately contradicting Lord Hou. It was just to tell the truth to Lord Hou that day. If you are guilty, you should be punished. For a light crime and a light punishment, the law cannot be abolished because of the person, and because of personal preference, a light crime is punished with a heavy punishment or a serious crime with a light punishment, and that is not what the Criminal Department should do.”

Liao Zhen was frightened and thought to himself that at such a time, he naturally had to follow the words of the little Marquis. The little Marquis would say whatever he likes to listen to. Wei Yujiang would not be asking for his own death by talking like this, and winked at Wei Yujiang again and again, but Wei Yujiang just pretended not to see it.

Qi Ning’s face turned cold, and he sneered: “Can’t abolish the law because of people? Hey, you are so bold, if the nobles in the palace or the pillars of the court violated the laws of the country a little, would they still be held accountable?”

Wei Yujiang’s face became solemn, and he said loudly: “Master Huibutang said, since it is the law, it is natural for the whole country to abide by the law. Among the laws and regulations of the Ministry of Punishment, there is no one that says that the nobles in the palace or the pillars and beams of the court have violated the law of the country. pursue.”

“You’re not ashamed to say it.” Qi Ning snorted coldly, “If someone in the court violated the national law, wouldn’t you, Wei Yujiang, dare to hold him accountable?”

“If this really happened, and the Lord of the Ministry ordered the humble post to investigate, why would the humble post dare not?” Wei Yujiang said loudly: “Enforce the law impartially, do not practice favoritism and cheat, and the humble post and the low post are handled in accordance with the national law, then there is nothing to be afraid of.”

Liao Zhen sighed in his heart, he knew that Wei Yujiang was not bad, but he was an upright person, and because of this, he was out of tune with many colleagues, and he was not a likable guy in the punishment department, so although he had been in the punishment department for many years, he had never been able To improve, fortunately, doing errands on weekdays can be considered to be dedicated, and his ability is not bad, and he can barely survive in the punishment department.

Today, this guy actually said in public that once the dignitaries violated the laws of the country, they must be held accountable to the end. It is necessary to know that this lord of the Ministry is a powerful minister of the state of Chu. If you reply like this, you will greatly offend this little prince, and I am afraid that the next big disaster will come.

There was a dead silence in the lobby, and no one dared to say a word.

Everyone knows that Wei Yujiang will definitely be unlucky next. This person has not many colleagues in the Punishment Department on weekdays, and no one wants to intercede for him. Get involved.

Qi Ning stared at Wei Yujiang, his eyes were deep, and his expression was solemn.

Suddenly, a burst of laughter was heard. Everyone was stunned and looked at Qi Ning, only to see Qi Ning laughing loudly. The laughter was very sudden. Qi Ning stood up from the chair, walked down slowly, walked slowly to Wei Yujiang, looked at Wei Yujiang a few times, and stretched out his hands to help Wei Yujiang up.

Everyone was stunned for a while, but they heard Qi Ning’s loud voice: “You all heard that Wei Yujiang’s sentence, ‘Don’t abolish the law because of people’, is the true meaning of the Ministry of Punishment. The country has laws, what is the role of them? , UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com A world without kings and laws would not be a world of chaos. Since there are laws, naturally everyone should abide by the laws. The distinction between noble and inferior.”

Liao Zhen’s face was stunned, and Wei Yujiang was also greatly surprised, showing a look of surprise.

“Wei Yujiang, you just said that if a dignitary violates the law of the country and has an order from this official, you will pursue it to the end. Your promise, this official will keep in your heart, and I hope you will not forget it yourself.” Qi Ning patted lightly. Wei Yujiang took his arm and said: “Cao Sen knows the law and breaks the law, and the crime is extremely heinous. Naturally, the Autumn Trial Office cannot be handed over to him. From now on, you will go to the Autumn Trial Office to preside over it first. Every case, you must give this officer a firm check. If you When you are in office, if there is an unjust case, this official can’t spare you.”

All the officials present were stunned, Wei Yujiang also felt embarrassed, and said unexpectedly: “Lord Ministry, this is a lowly post!”

“What? You don’t want to go to the Autumn Trial Office?” Qi Ning said with a smile: “This officer has just arrived, and you are not very clear about your abilities. You should stay at the Autumn Trial Office first. If you don’t do well, you won’t be able to go back. , you don’t even need to wait for the Ministry of Punishment, but if you really do your best to do the job, this official will naturally use it.” Looking around, he said lightly: “You all listen, how the Ministry of Punishment used people in the past, this official can’t control, but Since the sage has asked this official to be in charge of the punishment department, then how to use people in the punishment department in the future, this official will naturally be careful. The punishment department does not raise useless people, even if the corpse is a vegetarian meal, don’t appear in our punishment department!” With his hands on his back, he turned around and walked back to the hall slowly. , calmly said: “Don’t think that this is the three fires of the new official’s appointment. This official does not have that hobby. If everyone performs their duties, everyone will be harmonious and contribute to the court, but if someone thinks about it, Don’t focus on errands!” He turned around suddenly, raised his hand and pointed out the door: “As far as you can, go as far as this official!”
