Chapter 430 Killing Chickens to Make an Example to Monkeys (2)

Yuxi entered the study, sat on the chair and picked up the booklet, just opened it and then quickly closed it and put it down, calling Xu Wu into the study: "What is the name of Xiao Yongchang's concubine's cousin? What is the case involved? "Yuxi originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, and let Yunqing handle it. But think about it, this matter may not be as simple as Xiao Yongchang said that she indulged the elder brother.

Xu Wu is still very clear about this case: "The prisoner is called Kong Yang, and he has committed many crimes. This time he also forced someone to death, and he was reported by the deceased's son."

For small cases, the local officials will deal with them directly without reporting them. However, all cases of death must be reported.

Yuxi thought for a while, and said: "I remember reviewing a case at the end of last year, and the prisoner was also named Kong Yang. The prisoner was a bully who cheated and bullied his neighbors, and was arrested after he was forced to death. Is this the case? "Yuxi has an impression of this case, and the prisoner's name is quite special. Kong Yang means bright and bright. At that time, Yuxi also said that she had such a good name for nothing.

Xu Wu nodded and said: "This is the case. This person has done a lot of evil things in the name of Xiao Yongchang, and accumulated tens of thousands of wealth in just one year. Last March, one of the victims went to the yamen to file a complaint. I don’t know the reason and let it go. Later, Kong Yang ruined the family of the person who filed the complaint. With this incident in front of him, other people dared not file a complaint anymore, and they could only hold their noses when they suffered a loss. At the end of last year, Kong Yang Yang wanted to buy a house, so he invited a Feng Shui master to look at it, but the Feng Shui master said that the house of a family named Zhang had excellent Feng Shui, and he would be very prosperous."

When Yuxi heard this, she felt that the case was interesting.

Xu Wudao: "That's Dong Sanjin's house, the location is good, and the interior decoration is also very good, it may not be able to buy it for two thousand taels. This Kong Yang wants to buy it for two hundred taels of silver, but the Zhang family is not willing to sell it. In order to obtain the house, Kong Yang framed the head of the Zhang family, forcing the Zhang family to agree to pay off the debt with the house. The head of the Zhang family hanged himself at the door of Kong Yang’s house the night before he moved. The deceased’s son filed a lawsuit Yamen, this case is accepted by Mr. Han."

After Yuxi finished listening, her expression was a little dignified, and she said, "Go and invite my elder brother here." This is not an ordinary case, and it must be dealt with seriously. Otherwise, the relatives of those generals would use their power to run amok, and the Northwest would be in a mess.

Han Jianming came over before the people in the palace had left the gate.

Han Jianming's visit to the palace this time was also because of Kong Yang's affairs. After entering the study, Han Jianming asked, "Yuxi, do you know about Xiao Yongchang?"

Seeing Yuxi nodding, Han Jianming asked: "How are you going to deal with this matter?" Yuxi must express her opinion on this matter, otherwise it will make other people think too much.

Yuxi said: "The impact of this incident is too bad, and it must be dealt with severely." In addition, Xiao Yongchang dared to go to Yunqing to slander him because of unreasonable things. If he is not severely punished, the people below will definitely To learn from others, in order to prevent this situation, she must deal with Xiao Yongchang ruthlessly this time.

Han Jianming also meant the same thing, but he had some concerns: "I'm afraid that the handling will be serious, and the generals in the army will have opinions."

Yu Xi said indifferently: "This case will be tried again, and some senior generals in the army will be invited to listen in." Everyone will naturally know what is right and what is wrong.

Han Jianming said: "Yuxi, is it inappropriate to do this? Although Xiao Yongchang was wrong, but he created such a big battle, it will inevitably make other generals think too much."

Yuxi glanced at Han Jianming and said, "Brother, Kong Yang has done so many evil things, I don't believe that Xiao Yongchang is clean." Kong Yang has gained so much ill-gotten wealth, she doesn't believe that he will not honor Xiao Yongchang of.

Han Jianming's expression froze, and Yuxi's words clearly meant something: "Since Xiao Yongchang questioned my unfair judgment, he must find another person to retrial.

"

Yuxi nodded and said: "I already have a candidate for the presiding judge."

Han Jianming didn't ask Yuxi who he chose, but said, "I'll make preparations right now, and I will definitely finish this matter within three days."

Yu Xi said to Han Jianming with a guilty face: "Because of me, I have made my brother suffer." Han Jianming also worked very hard in the procuratorate, but now he is being questioned because of her. Yu Xi was very sorry for this.

Han Jianming said with a smile: "What's the matter. People are not afraid of shadows, if they want to say let them go!" No one can be perfect.

Back in the Han Mansion, Han Jianming said to Mr. Zhao: "I thought Yuxi would choose to calm things down this time? I didn't expect..." I didn't expect Yuxi to become so strong.

Mr. Zhao was not surprised, and said: "If this Xiao Yongchang is allowed to slander, what is the prestige of the princess?" I have to admit that Han Yuxi is acting stronger now than before. But it is also understandable, after all, Yuxi's identity is different from before.

Han Jianming pondered for a while and asked, "Who do you think she will choose as the presiding judge this time? Is it Tan Tuo or An Zike?"

Mr. Zhao shook his head and said, "My concubine wants to make an example of others this time, and the greatest effect can only be achieved if the prince presides over it." But there's nothing to be ashamed of, this woman has to rely on men.

Han Jianming smiled wryly and said, "This time, it was my mistake." Kong Yang's case, in fact, he let the water go. Kong Yang's case implicated Xiao Yongchang, and Xiao Yongchang was Yuan Ying's brother-in-law. He was afraid that arresting Xiao Yongchang would cause a storm, so the matter was left vague. What Yuxi said just now made him feel a little guilty.

Mr. Zhao said: "It's okay, Xiao Yongchang didn't know about Kong Yang's evil deeds. Those who don't know are innocent, and the princess will not blame him."

Han Jianming hummed, this time Yuxi didn't blame her, otherwise she wouldn't have passed by lightly. Han Jianming said: "I shouldn't use the method in Beijing to handle this case." No matter what you do in Beijing, you must weigh the pros and cons. But he forgot at that time that this was in the northwest and not in the capital.

Mr. Zhao said: "In the future, if you have any embarrassing things, tell the princess directly, so that you will be right and wrong when you can save time." What Han Jianming did was really thankless. Of course, the most hateful thing is that Xiao Yongchang, who has already let him go, and dares to make a fuss.

When sleeping at night, Yuxi leaned next to Yunqing and said, "He Rui, are you going to deal with Xiao Yongchang's case?"

Yunqing was not surprised that Yuxi would know about this: "I have already demoted him." Yunqing is right to love his wife, but he has always acted justly, and did not punish Xiao Yongchang just because Xiao Yongchang said that Yuxi was not good. Yongchang. Instead, Xiao Yongchang was punished after the investigation of this matter was made clear today, knowing that Han Jianming had a fair trial in this case.

Yu Xi smiled and said, "Xiao Yongchang will definitely not be convinced by how you deal with it." If Xiao Yongchang was a rational person, it would be impossible for him to go to Yunqing yesterday and speak nonsense, so this matter will not come down because of Xiao Yongchang. job is over.

Yun Qing put his arms around Yu Xi and said, "I'll take care of this matter, you don't need to worry about it." It's already the limit to let Xiao Yongchang down a level, if it's more serious, it won't be appropriate. After all, Xiao Yongchang just said a few unpleasant words, and he didn't do anything to hurt Yuxi.

Hearing this, Yuxi changed the subject: "It's already February now, and it's only been three months since Zaozao turned three years old. It's too hard to practice martial arts at such a young age." When Zaozao turns three years old, It's time to learn martial arts with Huo Changqing. Thinking of this, Yu Xi felt a little bit reluctant.

Yun Qing said with a smile: "Before the age of five, the main thing is to lay the foundation. After the age of five, you will start learning martial arts. The real hard work comes after the age of five."

Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's all right."

Two days later, the whole of Pickaxe City spread, saying that Han Jianming relied on Yuxi's power to run amok and disregard human lives. Rumors, of course, the more they spread, the more outrageous they became, and the more they spread, the worse they sounded, and in the end even Yun Qing was involved.

[UU Reading 00ks] Xu Wu didn't hide Yuxi's facts about this matter, and said everything: "Princess, it was Xiao Yongchang who yelled loudly while drinking in a restaurant. Many people have heard this. But this matter There are people behind the scenes who are fueling the flames, trying to ruin the reputation of the princess."

After saying these words, he looked up at Yuxi, and saw that Yuxi's expression was not disturbed at all. Xu Wu asked: "Princess, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Yu Xi didn't answer this question, but instead asked: "Does Xiao Yongchang know what Kong Yang committed?"

Xu Wu shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. However, Kong Yang and Xiao Yongchang are in partnership for business, and Xiao Yongchang doesn't care about the business, he only cares about the dividends. Before the accident, Xiao Yongchang can get a dividend of two hundred taels of silver every month." .” Even if Xiao Yongchang didn’t know about Kong Yang’s evil deeds. But if he got the silver money, he couldn't get rid of it.

Yu Xi smiled, and said: "No wonder you are so angry, it turns out that elder brother has harmed his interests!" Xiao Yongchang is now a fifth-rank official, and his monthly salary is only twenty taels. Kong Yang's monthly dividends are comparable to his annual income.

Xu Wu actually sympathized with Xiao Yongchang, if the prince punished him and behaved honestly, this matter would be over. But he wanted to die, and now the princess was annoyed to intervene in this matter. The concubine is not the prince, Xiao Yongchang will be in bad luck this time.

In the evening, Yuxi said to Yunqing: "Now there is a lot of rumors outside, this matter must be resolved. He Rui, I plan to retry this case, and then invite some people to listen in on the right and wrong. I believe everyone will know by then."

Yun Qing was silent for a while and said, "Who do you plan to ask to retry this case?"

Yuxi said: "I want you to interrogate, but I don't know if you want to?" Seeing Yunqing thinking about it, Yuxi continued: "I have asked Xu Wu to investigate. Last year, Xiao Yongchang came from Kong Yang. I got more than two thousand taels of silver. What is the difference between Xiao Yongchang's actions and Ji Xuan's subordinates? If all the civil servants and generals in the Northwest also learn from Xiao Yongchang, then what is the difference between us and Ji Xuan." This time Yuxi will severely punish Xiao Yongchang was not out of personal grievances, but wanted to use this matter to warn those generals to be more vigilant, not to be dragged into the water by those with ulterior motives, and then to accompany himself in.

Yun Qing said: "Let me judge this case!" I have done other things, but it is the first time that the eldest girl gets on the sedan chair to hear the case. (to be continued)
