Chapter 432 Killing Chickens as an Example to Monkeys (4)
The 432nd chapter kill chickens to make an example to monkeys (4)
Yun Qing sent someone to Xiao's house to find this set of evidence, and then asked Dou Ying: "You said he managed the government, but what evidence do you have?"
Dou Ying gritted her teeth and said: "At that time, the government had already accepted such a case, and the witnesses had been found, and soon Kong Yang was put in prison. But not long after, the government released Kong Yang. If it wasn't for him, how could Kong Yang Maybe it will be released?" Dou Ying has no actual evidence, these are all the news he went to inquire about at the time.
Yun Qing didn't ask Xiao Yongchang whether this matter was true, but directly summoned Ge Tai, the general judge who tried the case. Yun Qing said with a cold face: "Why is this case closed so hastily?"
In the face of Yunqing's powerful aura, how dare Ge Tai speak nonsense, if Yunqing is angered, he might be beaten to death in court. Ge Tai lowered his head and said: "This case is not complicated. It's just that Master Xiao asked the officials to drink halfway. While drinking, Master Xiao told me that Kong Yang is his uncle, and begged me to give him face." Face, naturally I just hope that Kong Yang can be let go.
Yuan Ying was so angry that he was dying. He's just a concubine's cousin, so it's worth Xiao Yongchang treating him like a serious brother-in-law?
Yun Qing asked in a cold voice: "Xiao Yongchang, is this true?" He really didn't expect that there would be so much inside information about this case.
How dare Xiao Yongchang deny this matter, he nodded and agreed: "Yes. But I don't know the ins and outs of this matter. I thought it was just a small dispute, so I asked Mr. Ge to forgive me." So Xu The Xiao Yongchang that Wu said was simple-minded. He even forgot his last name once Kong used the beauty trick, so he didn't think about it so much.
Yun Qing's expression was very ugly, and he said, "If it wasn't for you, would the Dou family have been ruined? If it weren't for you, there would have been so many victims who were forced to be so angry that they dare not speak up? Now you don't know a word, so it's no crime." Are you all gone?" Kong Yang is the villain, while Xiao Yongchang is the accomplice. If it weren't for him to escort Kong Yang, Kong Yang would not have been so arrogant, harmed so many people, and became a well-known bully around him.
Because Xiao Yongchang was implicated in this case, he couldn't stand behind Yuan Ying, but went directly to the hall.
The sent guards soon brought back the family heirloom of Dou Ying's family, the set of December floral cups in a brocade box. The guard walked in and handed the things to Gao Song.
Yun Qing said to Gao Song: "Put these cups out." Doing so also let everyone see what Kong Yang was trying to get.
Gao Song gently placed the brocade box on the table, gently opened it, and carefully took out the cups inside one by one.
The inside of this set of wine glasses is white glazed and the outer wall is decorated with blue and white flowers. The shape is light and beautiful, and the body is thin and glazed. This color can be seen as an official kiln at a glance, and it is still top-grade. Such things are not inferior to making tributes.
Pointing to these cups, Yun Qing asked Xiao Yongchang: "Such a set of cups, no matter how stupid your eyes are, you will know that they are not ordinary products. The Kong family's family background is not ordinary, how could you give such a rare thing to your daughter as a dowry?" Yun Qing also knew about her family's details. Kong's grandfather was a juren and had accumulated some family fortune. However, Kong's father is the youngest son, and when the family was divided, they were only allocated a house and a small shop, plus dozens of acres of land. The sum of all the family properties is only one thousand eight hundred taels of silver. And this set of wine glasses, even those who don't know the goods, know that they are valuable treasures.
No matter how stupid Xiao Yongchang was, he knew at this moment that he couldn't yell anymore, otherwise, his end would be miserable.
The trial of this case has been completed by now. Therefore, Yunqing sentenced Kong Yang and that villain to death in court. As for Xiao Yongchang and Ge Tai, they will be dismissed from office, will never be hired, and will be imprisoned. Xiao Yongchang was sentenced to five years in prison, and Ge Tai was sentenced to two years in prison. As for the punishment of other prisoners, there is no change.
Still in accordance with Han Jianming's sentence,
When Xiao Yongchang heard that he was going to open up wasteland for five years (in the northwest, going to jail is equal to opening up wasteland), he was immediately stunned. When he came back to his senses, Xiao Yongchang wanted to ask Yuan Ying for help, but under Yuan Ying's murderous eyes, Xiao Yongchang didn't dare to say a word for help.
Xiao Yongchang was immediately stripped of his official uniform by the guards, and he didn't dare to resist at this moment, so he was escorted down to the hall obediently by the guards.
Dou Ying saw that Kong Yang was also being detained, so she rushed forward and grabbed Kong Yang and asked, "Where did you get my brothers and sisters? Tell me quickly, if you don't say I will strangle you to death."
He has been sentenced to death, whether he says it is death or not. Kong Yang naturally wouldn't say it anymore, and said with a strange smile: "You don't want to know where they are for the rest of your life?"
Seeing Dou Ying's collapse, Yun Qing said, "As long as you tell me what your younger brothers and sisters look like, I will send someone to look for them. As long as they are in the northwest, they will definitely be found." The probability of not being in the northwest is very low. Because after Yunqing occupied the northwest, he had to go through strict investigations to get out of the northwest. On the other hand, the investigation into the Northwest is not very strict.
Dou Ying burst into tears, kowtowed and said: "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord." The experience of the past half a year was like a nightmare to him.
Yuan Ying's wife Xiao Shi almost fainted when she heard that Xiao Yongchang was going to be imprisoned for three years. After finally waiting for Yuan Ying to come back, Xiao asked: "Master, what is going on? Why is Yongchang going to jail?"
Yuan Ying said angrily: "If he doesn't make trouble, what will happen today? Today, he asked for it." Han Jianming didn't go into it at all that day, but he still yelled.
Xiao Shi wiped his tears and said: "Master, it's too late to say this now. Master, you can't let Yongchang go to jail! If you go to jail, this life will be ruined?" Xiao Shi meant to ask Yuan Ying to ask Yunqing, let Yunqing let Xiao Yongchang go.
Yuan Ying stared at Xiao Shi and said, "Do you know? I was almost implicated today?" He didn't object to helping make Xiao Yongchang more comfortable. It is absolutely impossible for him to intercede.
Xiao's face turned pale with fright: "Master, this matter has nothing to do with Master, why did you get involved?"
Hearing this, Yuan Ying's anger that had just been suppressed flared up again. Xiao Yongchang is just a military general from the fifth rank, and he has nothing to do with the locality, so why should Ge Tai give him face. Yuan Ying said: "Ge Tai will give him face because he is my brother-in-law. Fortunately, Ge Tai is a witty person. If he talks nonsense in class, I must have been implicated." I really don't know anything, but if Ge Tai dragged him in in front of hundreds of people, even if the prince finds out that he has nothing to do with it, his reputation will be damaged.
After finishing speaking, Yuan Ying added another sentence: "You should know how Xiang Weiguo was dismissed from office? Xiang Weiguo can start all over again, but I don't have the capital anymore." Xiang Weiguo is younger than him, And there is no injury on his body, so he can go to the battlefield to make military contributions. But he can no longer lead troops to fight, and once he falls, he can't get up again.
Speaking of it, the Dou family was unlucky. The case of Dou's family happened in April last year, when Yunqing just returned to Yucheng. Yuan Ying is handling all the affairs in the city of Pickaxe. It was also for this reason that Ge Tai sold Xiao Yongchang's face. If it was like now, Yuan Ying was only in charge of military affairs and had nothing to do with local government affairs, Ge Tai might not give this face.
Xiao's face turned pale in an instant, and he didn't say anything about asking Yuan Ying to intercede.
Yuan Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You can go and take care of him, so that he will suffer less in prison. Don't care about the rest, and you can't care about it." Yuan Ying has no brothers and sisters, so he treats Xiao's family members as well. Very caring. But before you take care of yourself, you have to take care of yourself first. If he does too much on this frontier, he will definitely attract criticism from others, and even dissatisfaction from the princess.
It turned out that Yuan Ying knew that Yuxi had intervened in this matter, and his brother-in-law would definitely suffer a lot. But he didn't expect that Mrs. Han would directly cut off his brother-in-law's official career and completely ruined him. What's even more frightening is that he can't even say a word about such a ruthless hand. After this incident, Yuan Ying became even more afraid of Yu Xi.
Xiao Shi felt very sad, but she also weighed the importance, nodded and said: "I know how to do it." Sending more food and clothing to the past, there is nothing else she can do. Her younger brother is important, but her husband is what she and her children can rely on. She can still tell the difference.
Yuan Ying sighed and said: "After he finishes his sentence, let him return to Xinping City!" With such a reputation, he would not be famous in Pick City.
Xiao nodded sadly.
After listening to Han Gao's words, Han Jianming said, "I didn't expect Yuxi to find Dou Ying." On that day, he would sentence Kong Yang for twenty years because he didn't directly kill anyone, so the crime was not culpable. But the matter of Dou's family is different. Kong Yang killed all Dou's family members, and he must pay with his life. However, in order to scare the chickens and monkeys, Yuxi actually found Dou Ying back, which is considered intentional.
Mr. Zhao smiled, and said: "Now that Dou Ying's incident happened, Kong Yang was executed, and Xiao Yongchang was dismissed from office, which is enough to achieve the effect of deterrence." .
Han Jianming was gratified, but also disappointed: "Yuxi is well prepared." Yuxi grew up very fast, but because he grew so fast, he couldn't keep up.
Mr. Zhao has been with Han Jianming for many years, looking at his appearance, he still doesn't understand what he thinks: "My lord, the change of the princess is not bad for the Han family." Although Yuxi didn't show up this time, the officials of Haocheng Both the general and the general knew in their hearts that Xiao Yongchang fell to this point because he offended Yuxi. Yuxi used this matter to establish her prestige, making those who are dissatisfied with her jealous, and dare not slander her arbitrarily.
Han Jianming is not stupid, how can he not know that Yuxi's position is stable and powerful, and the Han family will benefit even more. Han Jianming said with a smile: "I think you were not very happy when I asked you to explain the affairs of the court with Yuxi at the beginning!" Thinking of Mr. Zhao's expression of reluctance at the beginning, who would have known that there would be today!
Mr. Zhao also felt emotional after hearing this, and said: "At that time, it was a waste of time to think about explaining the affairs of the court with a girl." Han Jianming asked him to teach Yuxi that day, and he was really unhappy in his heart. He only agreed because of Han Jianming's face. It was only after seeing Yuxi's unique insights that she cherished her talent that she taught her with all her heart.
Han Jianming said: "That's right! I only taught her because she wanted to learn. Who would have thought that this girl would make it this far." (To be continued)
