When Bapu said this, he said "oh", "I heard two people in the study not far away talking, saying that there is not enough food."
Now even Wei Zhi and Ji Xiang sat up straight, Old Master Tang asked calmly: "Apart from that, what else did you hear?"
When Babu said it in detail, he was also very puzzled. In his opinion, it was just a common saying, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
The study room was separated by two walls from the room he slipped into, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the jewelry from the vanity box and left after finding no gold and silver in the cabinet and bedside.
Although jewelry, gold hairpins and silver hairpins can be exchanged for money, it is not as convenient as gold and silver.
And he is also very careful in selling the goods. The silver hairpin he took out has no marks at all, and the style is very ordinary, and he deliberately avoided the properties of the Chu family and the Wang family. There was no leak of wind before.
And when the other party looked at the silver hairpin, he didn't ask him why, and was about to question someone directly. When he saw that the posture was wrong, he ran away.
As soon as he ran, it was leaked, and he was stabbed at that time. If he hadn't been a soldier or a scout, he might not have escaped at that time.
Old Master Tang inquired about the whole process in detail, flipped through his case file and said, "You committed the crime in Maozhou, why was it that you were tried in Mianzhou and escorted to Beijing?"
Ba Pu said: "The little one fled all the way from Maozhou to Mianzhou. He was captured in Mianzhou. Because his ancestral home was in Mianzhou, he was tried in Mianzhou."
Wei Zhi also glanced at the case files curiously, and asked, "Didn't you be escorted to Beijing with the prisoners from Maozhou? Why were you tried and escorted in Mianzhou?"
Ba Pu looked at a loss, but Old Master Tang explained: "There are not many murder cases that need repeated review by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Escorting them to Beijing costs a lot. Generally, in order to reduce the loss, the neighboring states will go on the road together. If there are prisoners in the passing places , send out a yamen servant, and give some money to entrust the passing state government officials to help escort them together, reducing the loss of the states, so this kind of thing is common."
Qiuniang killed her husband because of her wife. At that time, the case file was unclear. After reviewing it, Feng Shangshu was worried that it was an unjust, false and wrongful case, so she was escorted to Beijing for a retrial.
However, because Bapu killed too many people and had extremely bad influence, he was sent to the capital as a model to be tortured.
Generally, this kind of case may not come out in one state in three years, so the cost of escorting a prisoner to Beijing is very high. After all, you need at least three people to escort a prisoner, right
The guards and the prisoners eat, who pays for the hotel
Of course, it is impossible for the Ministry of Punishment to issue it. Generally, it is the government of each state and county. Some poor and small counties simply cannot afford the money.
For example, in Luojiang County before County Magistrate Yang, County Magistrate Fu would never let his subordinates have unjust, false and wrongly decided cases to be handed over, nor would he let his subordinates have such a vicious case.
Otherwise, the county government would have to pay dozens of taels of silver for a case and send it to Beijing, and magistrate Fu would be so distressed.
Old Master Tang is very familiar with the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and continued: "As for the trial in Mianzhou, the person was caught in Mianzhou. If the trial is in Mianzhou, half of the credit goes to Mianzhou. Otherwise, Mianzhou will be sent back to Maozhou. It's useless."
Otherwise, Bapu stole something in Maozhou, and the people who were killed in Maozhou, the Maozhou government has drawn his portrait, and one person died in order to catch him, and Mianzhou caught him and sent him back. The only thing related to Mianzhou in this case is that Bapu came from Mianzhou.
At that time, whether there is merit or not is not certain, and most likely it will fall. After all, it is fine for the people under the rule to desert, but also steal and kill people. The above can be blamed for lax education.
Therefore, Bapu was snatched by Mianzhou like a robbery.
The three of them looked down at him together. If the Chu family really had something to do with Yizhou King's rebellion, then this Bapu really saved his life. Otherwise, if he was in Maozhou, he would have died long ago.
Naturally, these matters have to be investigated. How to investigate is the responsibility of Mr. Tang.
Because Tang County Magistrate is in Yizhou, his people passed by the fastest. In addition, His Majesty would also like to tell you that Wei Zhi can still participate now, but Ji Xiang is half-excluded.
The matter in Yizhou is a bit serious. As the head of all the officials, his hometown is still in Yizhou. A lot of things are on his side.
After Ji Xiang, Wei Zhi and others came out of the palace, they shook hands with each other, bid farewell and went home.
Wei Zhi and Old Master Tang stood and waited for Ji Xiang's carriage to leave before asking, "Where did you imprison those two people?"
Old Tang Master said: "In the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, Yin Li is not here now. All these things are in charge of his deputy envoy, who is also His Majesty's man. It is stronger than the prison."
Wei Zhi watched Ji Xiang's carriage go away, sighed and said, "Ji Xiang is getting old."
Old Master Tang didn’t say a word. Now his son is still in Yizhou City. To him, the private soldiers of the King of Yizhou who don’t know where they are hiding are equivalent to a pack of hungry wolves hiding. If he is not careful, the whole Yizhou will be destroyed. over.
None of the people in Yizhou, including his son, could escape, so it was really difficult for Mr. Tang to feel sorry for Ji Xiang. He only had such a son.
Wei Zhi obviously also knew his worry, reached out and patted his hand and said: "Don't worry, Yin Li is just around Yizhou."
Old Master Tang snorted coldly.
Yin Li's current whereabouts are only known to Yin Li himself. His son sent a secret letter saying that Yin Li was only willing to lend him a thousand soldiers and horses when besieging Dongxi Village, and the garrisons in Yizhou and Suizhou all belonged to the king of Yizhou. Eyeliner, if he hadn't laid the groundwork for a long time in front of him, and suddenly dispatched the garrison, and Yang Heshu's Mianzhou garrison was assisted, he would not be able to command these garrisons at all.
When it was discovered that Dongxi Village was surrounded, the Yizhou and Suizhou garrisons almost panicked inside, and his son and Yang Heshu almost died, but Yin Li was stunned and did not make a move.
Master Tang didn't know whether to praise him or scold him.
Wei Zhi was in favor of Yin Li's decision from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't dare to say it in front of Mr. Tang, but changed the subject and asked, "How is the Queen Mother's condition?"
Old Lord Tang sighed, and said after a while: "There is no progress. I heard that she didn't run out of water and rice yesterday. This morning, His Majesty asked the King of Yizhou to come over to serve the sick, and the Empress Dowager only got half a bowl of porridge."
Wei Zhi frowned, "A few more times, isn't the king of Yizhou about to be released?"
Old Master Tang didn't speak.
Wei Zhi has always been upright, and couldn't help cursing: "The old woman is wronging the country!"
Old Master Tang moved a little away from him, saying that he didn't hear anything just now.
Wei Zhi was so angry that his beard blew away.
And in a house in the outer city quite far from the imperial city, County Magistrate Fu, who had just arrived home not long ago, was so angry that he smashed a cup and said angrily, "The old woman is vicious!"
Mrs. Fu was holding Fu Wenyun sadly and crying, she turned her head and said, "Master, you have to make decisions for your daughter. If you get past this time, she won't know how she will be bullied at her in-law's house in the future!"
