This is probably the fastest time for the government to handle the case.
The person who reported the case was still at the gate of the yamen, and he did not come to express his grievances urgently. All the important figures lost in each family have been found.
It stands to reason that, whether it is for the government or the person who reported the case, this is a happy thing for everyone. If the case is solved, everyone will go back to their respective homes and find their own mothers, and no one will be troubled.
However, things are more than that simple.
Those who were kidnapped were all well-known and respected figures in Kyoto, and forty of them were kidnapped in silence. They were not discovered until the morning. This is probably the worst case that has occurred in Kyoto since the founding of the country. .
After today, how will other officials and dignitaries in Kyoto sleep peacefully
After all, no one wants to go to sleep at night, wake up the next day, and find himself in a strange place, tied with a rope, unable to move, unable to speak, kneeling in front of the people...
This case must be investigated, thoroughly investigated!
If those vicious thugs are allowed to roam free in Kyoto, no one will be able to sleep peacefully in the future.
And that's just one of them.
Those officials and dignitaries who were tied up, the papers recording their crimes placed in front of them had already been passed on by word of mouth. Although they were victims, they were also perpetrators at the same time. Words, with a little verification, can prove their authenticity.
The imperial court is in the process of reforming the law. Although the rich and powerful cannot be equal to the common people for breaking the law, if a common man commits any of their crimes, it is enough to behead dozens or hundreds of times. Just beheading them once is not too much, right
Each of these people has sinned deeply, and there are countless pairs of eyes watching from outside, who dares to let them go back
Zeng Shichun rubbed the center of his brows, those people had been brought back by him, but except for a few who were able to speak, the others seemed to have been immobilized. Phew, let alone move.
"Master Zeng, can I take my master home?"
"My lord, my lord is injured and needs immediate treatment!"
"Your government didn't arrest those assassins, but detained these adults here. What do you want to do!"
…
Hearing the voices from outside the hall, Zeng Shichun rubbed his head again. Those people were either powerful or high-ranking officials. Even if it was him, it was impossible to offend so many families at the same time...
Just when he was having a headache, finally a policeman walked in with a happy face and said loudly: "My lord, someone is coming from the palace!"
Not only Xuanzhi's eunuchs came to the palace, but all the medical officers from the imperial medical office came out. After an inspection, the imperial physician ordered Liu Jimin to shake his head and said, "These people have all had their acupoints tapped, which is the technique of warriors."
An old man in gray came out from behind, stretched out his hand and tapped a man's neck, and the next moment, there was a miserable howl.
The man finally regained his freedom, clutching his buttocks and screaming.
The gray-clothed old man walked around the crowd, unlocking the acupoints of the people one by one, and there were bursts of howls in the ears of the crowd, and the scene was uncontrollable for a while.
Zeng Shichun stepped forward, looked at the young man at the front, and asked, "What did your Highness say?"
Liu looked at him with one hand, and said slowly: "Investigate thoroughly."
Zeng Shichun nodded, and said: "Forty officials and dignitaries were arrested, and the impact is too bad. If they don't find out, many ministers in the court will not agree. A thorough investigation must be done. It is not easy for ordinary people to commit such crimes quietly, and it is not easy to investigate the cases."
"The crimes committed by these criminal officials and dignitaries must be thoroughly investigated." Liu looked at him with one hand and said, "These people will stay in the Jingzhao government office for the time being, and the Imperial Medical Office will treat their injuries. Other things , will be completely taken over by the Secret Service Division.”
Zeng Shichun showed a smile on his face, put a thick stack of papers in his hand, and said, "Master Liu, please."
The onlookers had actually surrounded the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen. If those villains with heinous crimes came out of it, some uncontrollable incidents might happen.
Fortunately, this time, the court did not disappoint them.
None of the forty people came out of the government office. The Jingzhaoyin Mansion also posted a notice outside, expressing strong condemnation to those thieves who had the audacity to kidnap officials and dignitaries. At the same time, they said that they would definitely investigate the case. Catch those thieves as soon as possible, and return the capital to a clear law and order.
Regarding the crimes confessed by these forty people, the government will definitely check and verify them one by one. Once they are verified, they will not tolerate them. If the public has any clues or evidence, they are welcome to provide them, and everyone’s supervision is welcome...
If the government handles cases like this every time, the people will naturally not be dissatisfied, and grievances like Dou E's will probably not appear. gradually dissipated...
However, their attention did not move away. The Jingzhao government office, including the forty mansions, became the focus of the entire capital overnight.
Cui family.
No one from the Cui family was missing last night, but they were more frightened than those families whose people were missing.
Forty people, their last bit of power in the capital, their last trump card, was wiped out overnight... overnight...
These are not forty people, these are forty families, and they have spent a huge price to win over the forces with great difficulty. They all have their hands in the hands of the Cui family, and they will be prosperous and prosperous with the Cui family. …
They are not in the same boat. The Cui family’s big boat is ahead, and their small boat is connected to the big boat. The Cui family’s boat rides the wind and waves, and they can also go forward. The destruction of the small boat has limited impact on the big boat, but if the forty small boats connected to the big boat sink, will the Cui family still be able to surf the water alone
As soon as he heard the news, Cui Qingming, the current helm of the Cui family, became furious and spat out a mouthful of blood, and he still hasn't woken up.
All the members of the Cui family gathered in the meeting hall, everyone's faces were full of panic.
One night, after just one night, the Cui family changed from countless crowds to a lonely family. Although it is not considered a lonely family, after all, there are Qin family, Chen family, Zeng family, with or without..., But at this time, they can no longer affect the general situation.
This is not the most frightening thing. The crimes of those people, perhaps at least, have some connection with the Cui family. If their crimes are carried out, it will be difficult for the Cui family, the Cui family to get out of it...
The glimmer of light that they finally saw because of the King of Shu's return to Beijing was once again covered by a huge shady curtain...
The Qin family.
"Bold and reckless thieves are of course to be investigated, but as officials and dignitaries, they disregard the law and act so recklessly, and they are destined to escape the punishment of the law. His Majesty has ordered a strict investigation of this case. Although it will cause a huge shock in the capital, but never In the long run, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages." At the family banquet, Qin Xiang looked at the few people below, and said in a deep voice, "You should take this as a warning."
bang!
Qin Yan's hands trembled, unable to hold the dishes in his hands, they fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Beside him, his two brothers who were also officials in court were also pale.
At the bottom, the fifth master of the Qin family took a bite of food, tore another chicken leg, and threw it to the man standing in the corner. He continued to eat with his head down, out of tune with the surrounding atmosphere.
…
Li Yi knew about the kidnapping of forty officials and dignitaries in the capital last night. The case that the old emperor asked him to investigate was already approaching the deadline, but there was such a sudden incident that the suspects surrendered one after another, and they didn’t even need to investigate. , the recent luck is simply not too good.
Until the eldest princess, who was not in a good mood, walked in from the outside, walked up to him, and asked, "Did you forget what you promised me?"
Miss Liu Er, who was reading a book across from her, put down her book, raised her head, and looked over, obviously wondering what Li Yi had promised her.
Li Yi looked at the eldest princess, then turned to Miss Liu Er, and said, "Ruyi, can you... avoid it for a while?"
