"My lord, you are wronged!"
The woman knelt in front of the criminal department, her voice was extremely sad, as if she had a huge grievance in her heart and had no place to cry, which attracted the attention of passers-by.
In recent days, civil appeals are prevalent, not only the yamen of the counties under its jurisdiction, the yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture, the Yushitai, the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, and even the Ministry of Rites and Industry of the Ministry of Household... The yamen are limited and there are many people, it is impossible for them all to gather together, including all the government yamen in Kyoto, it is not enough.
This situation has greatly hindered the normal operation of the government.
Therefore, the eldest princess quickly issued a decree based on the people's sentiments and the actual situation in Kyoto.
Anyone who takes the opportunity to make a fuss, intentionally cause trouble, and surround the official office shall be punished severely to serve as an example. If there is any grievance, they should also appeal in an orderly manner. The relevant office will deal with it one by one according to the urgency and severity of the case. Make sure that every injustice must be tried, every case must be reversed, strictly abide by the bottom line of the law, and return the common people to a clear sky.
With this order from the eldest princess, the vigorous anti-corruption incidents among the people were temporarily relieved, but they did not disappear, but changed from disorder to order. Countless pairs of eyes were staring at every yamen in the capital.
At this juncture, even the dandies who run amok in Kyoto on weekdays are tightly restrained by their families, for fear that something will happen and they will become targets in everyone's eyes.
Even if it's just a little thing, it will be magnified infinitely, to the point where their family can't bear it.
The criminal department handles serious and important cases on weekdays. Unless His Majesty specifies, the lobby of the criminal department is generally closed, and it is not allowed to express grievances at the mouth of the criminal department. But this time is different. You can't be idle either.
An officer had already come out from the inside, kindly helped the woman up from the ground, and kindly asked her what wrong she had suffered, if there was a pleading paper, if not, the lawyer of the Ministry of Punishment could write one for free, no money was charged …
From the beginning to the end, there was not much impatience on their faces. There are so many people on the street watching. If a place is not handled well, the reputation of the Criminal Department will be ruined. Now is a special period. If something went wrong, it would be no wonder that Lord Shang Shu didn't pick their skin off.
Soon, the woman was walked in with the help of an officer from the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
Among the onlookers on the street, someone shook his head and said, "If you want to say that the attitude towards the people is the best, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment are the best. It's not like Jingzhao Yin's mansion. A while ago, I heard that someone appealed for grievances at the gate of the yamen. The people in the yamen No matter how you ignore it, you still lock up people on the grounds of disturbing the yamen's handling of the case. Compared with the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it's a good sentence..."
"Isn't it!" As soon as the voice fell, someone echoed: "Unfortunately, I was also there at the time, and the girl is said to have died of her younger sister. Hasty…”
"I've heard that the girl has been arrested several times. What are the Jingzhao government officials worried about..." Another person interjected, "The one who went in just now seems to be that girl. Why did she get to the Ministry of Criminal Justice this time?" coming?"
"There is such a thing?" Someone showed anger on his face, and walked quickly to the gate of the Criminal Department, "If that's the case, I don't even want to look at this case!"
"I am coming too!"
"Go together, go together!"
…
At the gate of the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, the excited people were stopped by the Yamen.
However, it didn't take long to stop them. After their identities were verified, a special person brought them in.
In line with the principle of fairness, impartiality and openness, when the Ministry of Criminal Justice is adjudicating cases, people are allowed to listen outside. The Ministry of Criminal Justice claims that there are laws to follow, laws must be followed, law enforcement must be strictly enforced, and violations must be investigated. Complete transparency has won the hearts of many people.
Of course, in order not to disturb the order of handling the case, the number of observers is still limited to less than 50 people. However, although most people cannot see it with their own eyes, the details of the case will be conveyed through the mouths of these 50 people. In a short period of time, it spread throughout Kyoto.
Above the courtroom, Liu Yi, the servant of the criminal department, patted the gavel and asked: "Who is in the hall, where does he live, and what grievances do you have, please slowly complain."
The woman stood in the hall and said in a soft voice: "My lord, the young girl's surname is Lin Mingqin, she lives near the gate of the capital city, her younger sister is sixteen years old, and her boudoir name is Lin Shuangshuang. She is originally a musician of Miaoyin Pavilion. Wushangyuan night... "
…
"The one who was promoted today is Liu Qingtian..."
"This girl is really lucky this time, but is there any case that Liu Qingtian has handled that can't be solved?"
"Not necessarily, this case, but it is very likely that even Jing Zhaoyin's house will be involved, but I still believe Liu Qingtian..."
Liu Yishou, the servant of the criminal department, has handled countless cases in the past few years. No matter how deeply the criminals are hidden, there is nothing to hide in his eyes, because he often defends the people. Loved and loved, people gave him the nickname "Liu Qingtian".
Qingtian not only means "Grand Master Qingtian", but also coincides with the fictional image of "Bao Qingtian" in the play who punishes evil and eliminates rape with a stern face and selflessness. This is the highest praise from the people of Kyoto for him.
In the hall, when the woman complained about her grievances, someone outside the hall had already understood.
"It turns out that this woman is Miss Shuangshuang's older sister..."
"Ms. Shuangshuang is unparalleled in piano skills. It's a pity that Fanghua died young. I will never hear that song "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" in the future. It's a pity, a pity..."
"Didn't the Jingzhao government office say that it was the work of a court criminal?"
"Stupid Jingzhao Yamen!" A man who had been paying attention to the situation in the hall heaved his chest and said angrily, "Listen, this girl was just wanted to see the body of Shuangshuang, and Jingzhao The government office found reasons to arrest her, and later used several reasons to lock her in prison for nearly half a year... "
"If there's nothing tricky about it, I wouldn't believe it if I beat you to death!"
At this time, with the narration of the woman in the hall, the case gradually became clear.
According to the explanation given by the Jingzhao government office, on the night of Shangyuan, there was an imperial convict hiding in the Miaoyin Pavilion. After killing Shuangshuang girl with extremely cruel means, he tried to harm the son of the Chu family to no avail, so he jumped out of the window and escaped. , until now, although the sea arrest documents have been posted everywhere, the prisoner has not been arrested and brought to justice.
If the girl standing in the hall hadn't been there, this case might have passed by with the passage of time, and it would have been forgotten by people. However, what happened to her and the actions of the Jingzhao Yin House added many doubts to the case. …
How exactly did Miss Shuangshuang die, and how did the imperial prisoner evade the heavy pursuit of the government without leaving even a trace, and what role did the Jingzhao government office play in this case...
The whole case suddenly became complicated and confusing.
It is said that Dou E was wronged. This girl's younger sister died for no reason. She went to the government to complain and was imprisoned for half a year.
As soon as the case broke out, it quickly attracted the attention of the people in Kyoto, and it also attracted the attention of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
The relevant witness witnesses of Miaoyin Pavilion have been brought to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, under heavy protection, and the Ministry of Punishment has also written a letter requesting that all the files on this case in Jingzhao Yamen be called out, the case should be re-examined, and the deceased should be restored to innocence. An explanation to the people involved in the case.
Under such circumstances, "The Injustice of Dou E" is still being staged in various corners of the capital, and there are countless charity performances held every day...
In a hook somewhere, Lao Fang looked at Li Yi, and said with some distress: "Grandpa, this stage, this scene, this effect, so much ice, only such a small ticket price, and so many charity performances, this time , we are at a big loss..."
Li Yi shook his head, looked at him, and said earnestly: "Don't always think about money in your eyes, but also think about making some contributions to society..."
