Chapter 562: Column hanging

Views:

Sun Wang was able to enter the Criminal Ministry as an official, which shows that his family background is quite good.

In other words, Sun Wang's family should know the seriousness of his trouble.

So, the Sun family should have settled Liu Mao quickly, rather than dragging the case for a long time.

Here comes the problem. The case two years ago was held here in Jingzhao Mansion. When the officials were evaluated, they wouldn’t know that there was such a case.

And Sun Wang has already performed his duties in the Criminal Department, which shows that the appraisal of the staff has passed.

Plus what Guan Xiang learned. The predecessor Jing Zhaoyin specially took away the punishment document for Sun Wang's downtown running horse, showing that the Sun family was the official road of Sun Wang, and it took great pains.

Although the penalties for running horses in the downtown area are not as serious as the punishment for hurting people, they are more serious.

However, this also raises a question. Since Sun Wang's family can let people take the document, why not withdraw the complaint altogether

"Guan Xiang, this case must be investigated, even if other cases are shelved, it must be brought out first."

Qin Meng's order made Guan Xiang very puzzled: "My lord, this case is very complicated and obscure. In addition, the plaintiff Liu Mao is missing. In a short time, there is no way to start. The following officials see this case. , Or put it aside for now, and deal with other cases first."

"Guan Xiang, don't you think this case is very awkward?" Qin Meng told Guan Xiang what he thought in his heart. Finally, he said: "The case itself is not too big. If it is shelved, Shangfeng will not be held accountable for such a case. However, the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice are involved, and it is quite a matter of whether to get up or not. However, officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice involved in the case were brought into the officialdom, and the investigations were carried out layer by layer. Don't look at the cases in our tenure. We have to follow along."

"My lord, are you going to investigate this case thoroughly?" Guan Xiang felt that Qin Meng's worries made sense, so he asked.

Qin Meng thought for a while and said, "A thorough investigation is not a must. There is no documentation for running horses in the downtown area, so I don't want to pursue it. Now, based on the existing lawsuit analysis, Sun Wang can completely deny it. Riding a horse in a busy city is simply riding a horse and hitting a pedestrian. The former is a criminal law. The latter is a dispute. Let’s study it deeply and it doesn’t make any sense. Now the most important thing is to understand, Sun Wang and Liu Mao, In the end, has a compensation agreement been reached. If it is reached, then the case is over, and we can sell the case. If there is no compensation agreement, this is an unsolved case. We are going to send a letter to the staff to inform Sun Wang that he has a case. "

Guan Xiangling took orders with Liu Mao's case and went to deal with it in person.

Qin Meng and Li Ying analyzed and judged the remaining files. As long as the facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive, very strict penalties will be given.

There are still a few cases where the facts are unclear. Or if there is no evidence at all, the plaintiff and the defendant can be called together to make it clear that the facts cannot be ascertained. It is recommended that the two parties reconcile.

Qin Meng and Li Ying quickly dealt with the remaining cases. At this time, Guan Xiang hadn't heard from the other side.

After a few days, Guan Xiang reported to Qin Meng that he personally visited the place where Liu Mao lived. According to his neighbors, Liu Mao suddenly moved his family half a year ago and left without saying hello to the neighbors. Up.

According to the neighbors’ reaction, Liu Mao seemed to have made a fortune when he moved. There were several mules and carriages hired, and they were full of stuff and left.

At that time, many people still said that Liu Mao was afraid that the way the property came from was not right, so he moved his family hurriedly.

Qin Meng heard this, frowning and said, "Liu Mao was so anxious to leave. In addition, he had a lot of wealth when he moved, I was afraid that he was coerced and lured."

Guan Xiang said, "Xiaguan also guessed like this. On Liu Mao's side, it is not easy to find out. The Xiaguan went to the Criminal Ministry to find Sun Wang and wanted to find out about the situation. Sun Wang's attitude was very arrogant and one mouthful. I'm sure that I was careful to ride a horse back then and accidentally bumped into someone. Not only was it taken by the government, but it was almost corrupted. I was furious when I thought about it. I don't want to mention what happened at that time."

Qin Meng sighed: "Sun Wang is arrogant and confident. It is estimated that the Sun family has taken some improper means to drive away Liu Mao's family. Time has changed, and I can't find any evidence if I want to find it. , Just put it aside as a pending case."

Guan Xiang nodded, agreeing with Qin Meng's opinion.

"My lord is extremely true. However, the outstanding case is an outstanding case. After all, Liu Mao did not withdraw the case and did not reach mediation with Sun Wang. In this matter, Sun Wang must issue a unilateral testimony to prove that we have tried our best to investigate the case. Before it can be classified as an outstanding case."

"Well, let's do it like this, go to Sun Wang Haosheng to talk about it, giving testimony will not affect his future, so that he doesn't have to embarrass us Jingzhao Mansion."

Guan Xiang led his life and sent someone to find Sun Wang.

Who knows, in less than an hour, the government servants who had been sent were driven back to the Jingzhao Mansion in an extremely embarrassing manner. (End of this chapter)
