Qin Wan took the package and opened it. There were two manuscripts inside. There was a manuscript for reporting to the superior, and a manuscript for official documents stating the case. Naturally, there was also the last part of the previous collection. Qin Wan saw it with just a glance. The many details of King Jin's case can't help but shock my heart.
Zhao Xun said, "The villain was just a small recorder at the time. In the yamen, the villain followed Mr. Shen for a long time, but after leaving the yamen, the villain didn't know. The villain only remembered that the King Jin case happened in early June. However, Mr. Shen felt that King Jin had been wronged at the beginning of July. After hesitating for two days, he reported it to the higher authorities. The emperor summoned Mr. Shen to enter the palace. Afterwards, Mr. Shen kept silent about the case. It’s just that I frequently go to the prison to visit King Jin, and gossip and gossip, that’s when I got up…”
"At that time, King Jin was in charge of the Ministry of Rites in the court. The Ministry of Rites was a leisurely place, and he had nothing to do with Mr. Shen. But because of this case, such words came out. Later..."
Qin Wan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is it the current Dali Temple Minister Li Muyun who exposed it?"
Zhao Xun nodded, "That's right, it was Master Li who exposed it. Master Li was pulled up by Master Shen. We didn't expect such a thing to happen. It's all right. Master Li has no reason to do this. Normally, Master Li has no reason to do this to Master Shen. The adults also admired them very much. The villain doesn’t understand the boss’s affairs. He just thought that Mr. Shen’s writings might be useful, so the villain stayed and thought... hey, the villain didn’t think about anything, he just thought it shouldn’t be... "
The night was dark, and the day was still sunny, but there was no bright moon at this moment.
Even the bright moon was covered by dark clouds, just like Qin Wan's heart was also covered with a heavy haze.
Zhao Xun said again, "The other villains don't know anything about it. This case involves the Prince. Originally, Mr. Shen didn't say much. We just obeyed his orders."
Qin Wan nodded and understood Zhao Xun's difficulties, "Then what are your plans for the future?"
Zhao Xun gave a wry smile, "I can't go back to the capital. My mother is seriously ill. I want to stay at home with her. I've been in the capital for so many years. I thought I could have a great future, but now..."
Zhao Xun had a bitter face, and there was a vicissitudes of life on his face at a young age. He wanted to get ahead, but he watched his immediate boss, a third-rank official, whose family was ruined, and his desire for power faded. However, I am grateful for the kindness of my boss, and I am unwilling to accept the injustice and grievance.
Qin Wan nodded, "Okay, thank you very much."
Zhao Xun shook his head and didn't say anything. Qin Wan and Yan Chi's status, if they want to force him, there are ten thousand ways to force him, but since Yan Chi and Qin Wan pay attention to etiquette, anyway, he is not reconciled in his heart, so why not tell them .
"The villain is humble. If there is a day when the truth of this matter is found out, if Master Shen is really wronged, on the day when the truth is revealed, the villain will definitely burn three pillars of incense at home to comfort Master Shen."
Qin Wan looked at Zhao Xun, and the gratitude from the bottom of his heart became more and more sincere. His father had always treated people generously before he was alive. If he could win Zhao Xun's heart, he would definitely comfort him, "Don't worry, we will not bother you in the future, and this matter will never happen." No one will know."
Zhao Xun nodded. At this point, Qin Wan and Yan Chi had nothing to say. They resigned from Zhao Xun and Mrs. Zhao, and returned to the farmyard where they were staying. As soon as they returned, Qin Wan couldn't help opening the files and official documents. Under the heart can not help but be shocked.
"No wonder I can't find the dossier anywhere. This dossier should be the first statement Mr. Shen submitted after he interrogated King Jin. It said that after the palace banquet on the ninth day of June, King Jin was drunk and took his personal servant with him. The servant was sobering up in the imperial garden, and the place where he just sobered up was close to Concubine Jin's palace, King Jin said that she had heard Concubine Jin's scream before she went there!"
Qin Wan raised his eyes and looked at Yan Chi, "The King of Jin heard the screams first, which means that when he arrived at Concubine Jin's side, Concubine Jin had already been killed. Not only that, there was a servant beside King Jin, but that servant Woolen cloth?"
As Qin Wan said, he quickly flipped through the other official documents, and after reading them, Qin Wan shook his head, "No, that boy's statement didn't mention it, and Mr. Shen didn't mention him in anything written afterwards..."
Bai Ying and Bai Feng were guarding outside, and there was no one in the room. After Qin Wan finished speaking, the night wind suddenly blew up outside the window, and the night wind howled, making the shadows of the trees shake outside the window. Soon, crackling raindrops fell .
The summer rain always comes quickly and quickly, and the voice is mixed with the whistling of the wind, which makes Qin Wan's voice very low. Qin Wan never expected that she finally saw the official documents of King Jin's case here. In a rural farmhouse hundreds of miles away from the capital, Qin Wan's back was tense, her lips were tightly pursed, and sharp anger burst out from her whole body.
Yan Chi stood behind Qin Wan, and his warm palms fell on Qin Wan's shoulders. He slowly stroked her shoulders, but Qin Wan felt her throat hoarse, "This file must have been submitted before, It's a pity that there was no one around Concubine Jin at that time, and the young servant next to King Jin was nowhere to be found. King Jin's confession was always this explanation. To be caught on the spot is simply to commit a crime!"
Qin Wan's heart was full of anger and pain. She had been resurrected from the dead for more than half a year, and she had already suppressed the grief of waking up. But at this moment, when she saw her father's familiar handwriting, the grief and anger fell bloody again. Before her eyes, in a blink of an eye, the scene of being besieged by the imperial guards that night appeared in her mind again, as if several arrows were shot straight into the center of the mouth.
The veins of Qin Wan's clenched fists were exposed, and the dossier could not be more clear. Is it because the emperor doesn't believe it, or is someone else obstructing this case? ! Why did Li Muyun expose it? What evidence is revealed
Qin Wan opened the record book written by Shen Yi and read it word by word. Qin Wan's heart was aroused again. Shen Yi's record book was a personal property. Apart from the other statements made by the King of Jin during the interrogation, even the speculations of Li Muyun and other low-ranking officials were written on it.
"No... Li Muyun also thought the same as Mr. Shen at the beginning..."
Qin Wan pointed to a place on the anthology, "Look...here it says, 'Discuss with Muyun, seconded by Muyun, and make another three arguments...', he clearly felt that there was injustice in the case of King Jin, but in the end he Why did you become the person who exposed Mr. Shen?"
Qin Wan's eyes were slightly red, and the word anger was not enough to describe it.
There must be a reason for Li Muyun's changes before and after, but who is hindering it? !
Yan Chi sat next to Qin Wan, and grabbed her shoulders. Qin Wan was extremely excited, and had already lost the almost cold reason she had when dealing with other cases... Yan Chi didn't want to think about the reason, but just wanted to comfort her.
Seeing this, the doubts in this case became clearer, and even now it can be concluded that Jin Wang was wronged, and Shen Yi was also wronged. Shen Yi recommended it, but it was Li Muyun's revelation that completely confirmed Shen Yi's crime!
"Guan'er, the contrast between Li Muyun and Li Muyun must be due to external factors. He was an official in Dali Temple at that time, and the person who could motivate him must not be a lowly person. In such a big case, the prince, the concubine, the court and the middle class are all involved. The members are all involved in it, and now all I can think of is the word Seizing the Inheritance, and only Seizing the Inheritance can cause such a big disturbance."
Politics is always cruel. There is only one emperor's seat, but more than one person wants to be that seat. After thinking about it, Qin Wan can only think of the prince and Cheng Wang. After all, at that time, it was the prince and Cheng of King Yong. The king has already started fighting, but his father has never been involved in party disputes, and King Jin seems to be alone.
"Master Shen is a direct minister of a poor family and will not get involved..."
Yan Chi shook his head, "Have you forgotten, Mrs. Shen's daughter was the Imperial Concubine Yong at that time."
Qin Wan's back stiffened instantly. Yes, how could she have forgotten that at this time last year, she was already the imperial concubine of Prince Yong, that is to say, in the eyes of others, her father was a member of Prince Yong's lineage!
Qin Wan's heart ached like a knife, she didn't want to be a concubine of Prince Yong at all...
Yan Chi felt that Qin Wan was not in the right mood, so he couldn't help hugging her even tighter, "No matter what Shen Yi thought, in the eyes of others, he must be from the lineage of King Yong, and although King Jin had never participated in the party struggle, he At that time, the Ministry of Rites was in charge. Although the Ministry of Rites was free, there were people in the court who followed the example of King Jin and did not stick to each other. Having a virtuous name is something that people fear."
Not all courts are flattering to those who stand in line, there are always people who don't want to stand in line early, the prince and King Cheng have used inferior methods, and these Qingliu will look at King Jin who does not fight or grab.
The wind and rain outside the window were violent, and the big raindrops hit the window sill, and the water vapor seeped in through the cracks of the window. Qin Wan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Only Yan Chi's body temperature allowed her to absorb some warmth. .
Qin Wan took a deep breath, closed his eyes suddenly, and when he opened them again, his eyes had calmed down a lot.
She no longer made fearless guesses, but continued to read Shen Yi's recordings, which were much more complicated and detailed.
"The King of Jin only said that he heard the screams, but when he got to Concubine Jin, he didn't see anyone. Who killed Concubine Jin? This person must be someone from the palace, but why did he assassinate Concubine Jin..."
"Where did King Jin's servant go? Mr. Shen didn't mention a word, he must not be in the prison."
"The King of Jin suspected that the death of Concubine Jin was a dispute in the harem..."
"Prince Jin seems to have doubts...but he didn't express it to Mr. Shen..."
Qin Wan looked at the second-to-last page of the collection, "This is the tenth time Mr. Shen has gone to see the King of Jin. It says that the King of Jin hesitated to speak. He seemed to have some difficulties, but he never said it clearly. He only insisted that he was not murderer."
Qin Wan turned to look at Yan Chi, "What is King Jin's difficulty?"
Yan Chi frowned, it was time for life and death, what else could King Jin not say? !
"The king of Jin has upheld the way of sages and sages since he was a child, and he has justice in his heart. He will never deny what he did, and what he doesn't say is either related to the face of the royal family, or he can't help himself even if he says it. Bao, even, can speed up his own death... "
Qin Wan squinted her eyes, "If it's just about the face of the royal family, then it's the secret of the harem's favorite concubine? What's the matter with Concubine Jin? Is it a royal scandal? But if it's something that you can't protect yourself, then..."
Qin Wan had no idea, but a chill ran down his spine for no reason. In a place like the capital, what made the prince of the first dynasty feel afraid? Even if you can exonerate yourself, even if you can show justice, you dare not speak out? ! Is the king of Jin worried about the face of the royal family or is he afraid that he will die soon
Qin Wan watched and turned to the last page, her pupils shrank suddenly, "Jin Wang told Mr. Shen to leave the capital."
Qin Wan still can't figure it out, an upright and upright minister like his father would choose to escape with his family in the end. Such behavior, no matter how you look at it, makes people think that his father is not innocent, but his father still does this, there is only one The reason was that his father knew that his family would not survive, so he used such a trick. They did not leave in the end, but Qin Wan never expected that it was King Jin who persuaded his father to leave.
This collection should have been written during the daytime on July 18. It should have been after my father went to the sky prison in the morning and returned to the Yamen to write a few more strokes. Father's handwriting is always neat and grand, but these few sentences are written It was a little messy, and it could be seen that my father was a little panicked at that time, and he didn't even write the last sentence completely.
Qin Wan still remembered that on the last day, his father was worried for a long time, but he went to the yamen on time every day to be on duty. On that day, before his father left, he sat alone in the study for a while, and went to deliver tea by himself. Wang's case has been handled for a month, but her father seems to be a few years older. At that time, she only thought that her father was in trouble because the royal family was involved. She never thought that her father might know the secret behind the case.
"'The words of the king of Jin are still in my ears, the law will not be revealed, and a catastrophe is coming.' These are the last words of Mr. Shen. It seems that this is the last time to see the king of Jin. What did the king of Jin say to Mr. Shen? The king of Jin persuaded Mr. Shen to leave. It also answered Mr. Shen's doubts, so Mr. Shen said 'a catastrophe is coming', so Mr. Shen took his family and left that night... "
Qin Wan's voice was lowered, as if these words would be heard by people outside. Accompanied by the strong wind and heavy rain outside, the low and deep words became more and more oppressive. Yan Chi also read Shen Yi's words stroke by stroke. , His heart also sank.
Qin Wan looked at the last line written by Shen Yi and fell silent. After writing the last sentence, his father must have struggled for a long time before making the decision to escape, but how could he escape in the imperial city? !
Qin Wan and Yan Chi didn't speak for a moment. Hearing the heavy rain outside, both of them had a premonition in their hearts that a storm bigger than this was about to hit the power and glory of the capital!
And Jin Wang's case may be the introduction of this storm!
