Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 101 Who will cry when the drama ends?

On June [-], in the city of Zhaoyao, the post house.

Cui Kezhang has been staying in Zhaoyao City for three days, staying in the post house every day, shutting the door, mysteriously meeting all kinds of ghosts and monsters, even Sun Zhaolin, the governor of Zhaoyao County.

According to the official rank, the county guard, as a local governor, guards one side, and his status is second only to the six ministers.

Cui Kezhang, as the servant of the Ministry of Justice, was able to "meet" Sun Zhaolin, the magistrate of Zhaoyao, at the posthouse. In addition to his status as an imperial envoy and the blessing of Beijing officials, more importantly, he represented the fifth prince.

If he wants to do things in Qingqiu Mansion, Cui Kezhang needs the support of Sun Zhaolin and others.

Cui Kezhang was in no hurry.

Cui Kezhang roughly understood the inside story of Feng Quji's murder. If he really wanted to investigate the case with great fanfare and seriousness, it would not shake the foundation of Qianyuan's rule in Qingqiu Mansion.

That is to seek guilt.

Taking the case as an opportunity to make the Qingqiu mansion panic and even turn the world upside down is Cui Kezhang's goal, or rather, his mission.

The longer the case drags on, the better.

That's why Cui Kezhang stayed in Zhaoyao City for a while, while collecting information, he conspired with Sun Zhaolin on a specific action plan, and by the way watched the excitement of Qingqiu Mansion.

Cui Kezhang heard that everyone in the Qingqiu Mansion was panicked.

The status of an imperial envoy is like a sharp sword hanging over the prince's mansion. If Cui Kezhang does not arrive at Qingqiu mansion, there will be no peace in Qingqiu mansion. How could he be in a hurry.

Life is very comfortable.

Sun Zhaolin is a very capable sheriff. In just three days, Cui Kezhang received "small gifts" worth more than his two-year salary in Shendu, including two stunning female nuns.

Cui Kezhang's eyes were somewhat fascinated by the generous spending and luxurious life of the local officials.

Cui Kezhang was even a little jealous.

This afternoon, Cui Kezhang had just sent away a gift-giver, and his staff hurried in, with a serious face, and whispered in his ear: "My lord, I just received the news that the Qingqiu government has caught the murderer who assassinated Feng Quji."

"This is impossible."

Cui Kezhang was shocked, no longer calm as before, "Where did the news come from, is it true?"

The aide said: "The subordinates have already sent people to verify it, so it should be true. There is even more news that tomorrow, the Qingqiu government office will openly hear the case of Feng Quji's murder."

Cui Kezhang frowned, got up, and walked around the house, showing his inner panic.This was too unexpected. He knew very well what the consequences would be if the case was broken by the Qingqiu Mansion.

It was inevitable that he, the imperial envoy, would become a laughing stock. What surprised Cui Kezhang even more was that he had received a lot of benefits and failed to get things done. How would he face the fifth prince when he went back?
I shudder to think about it.

"Could it be that the Qingqiu Mansion is cheating, deliberately taking the place of the dead ghost?" Cui Kezhang asked.

The staff member said: "Based on the information currently available, this possibility cannot be ruled out. However, looking at the situation of Qingqiu Mansion, the possibility is very small. They should be aware of the consequences of fraud."

Cui Kezhang nodded with a solemn expression, "In this case, then postpone the trip, pay close attention to the results of the trial tomorrow, and then make plans."

"As it should be."

The staff agreed very much, and now there is a sudden disturbance, if you plunge in at this time, you will be bloody.

It's still good.

…………

Cui Kezhang was not the only one who paid attention to the trial process.

The spies assigned by the princes of God Capital in Qingqiu Mansion, the big and small families in Qingqiu Mansion, the governor of the swagger county, and even the families in the southern border are all paying close attention to the latest developments of the case.

In the past few days, Qingqiu Mansion has unintentionally become the focus of the empire.

The Qingqiu government office seemed to know this, and changed the original secret trial to a public trial, and generously invited gentry and people's representatives to the government office to watch.

Under the auspices of Song Ci, Yun Mengwei, who had been planted with the heart-inquiring Gu, was very cooperative, revealing the details of the motive, process, and follow-up disposal of the crime.

Like a preview.

Song Ci was experienced. In order to make the case a solid case, witnesses were summoned one by one, and the statements and case files were submitted to the court one after another, and they were signed and pledged on the spot.

Be sure to make the chain of evidence impeccable.

In this public trial, Song Ci's ability was fully demonstrated. He was like a general, dispatching government officials and witnesses, and firmly controlling the pace of the trial.

This is not a trial, it is simply a reappearance of the case.

Under Song Ci's arrangement, the whole process of Yunmengwei's committing the crime was reproduced scene by scene in front of the eyes of the people who were invited to watch, just like thinking in a movie.

It's amazing!

Even the Feng family members, who were allowed to observe, nodded frequently.

The entire trial process has completely become Song Ci's personal show, and it is also a show for the government and the feudal prince's palace to clear their name. It is a criminal law show that cleanses the haze and stabilizes the people's hearts.

It's really satisfying.

But the other people present with ulterior motives felt very bitter.

In the end, after two hours of trial, Yunmengwei was sentenced to death on the spot, and he was executed immediately after the imperial envoy arrived, reviewed the case files, and verified his integrity.

At that time, the case file will also be brought to the capital of God and handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for record.

…………

June [-]th, Zhaoyao City, Post House.

Knowing the result of the trial, Cui Kezhang completely withered like a discouraged ball.

"My lord, are you leaving tomorrow?" the aide asked.

It's not a problem to stay in Swagger City all this time.

"Going to be seen as a joke?" Cui Kezhang was very annoyed. He thought it was a good job, but he turned into a hot potato, "So, tomorrow you will go to Qingqiu Mansion on behalf of the official and bring back the case files."

Seeing that there is no hope of making a comeback, Cui Kezhang will not seek to humiliate himself.Although he is the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, the owner of Qingqiu Mansion is a county king. If he goes there, he doesn't know how he will be ridiculed.

"As ordered!"

The staff did not object. The public trial had already been widely spread, and Yun Mengwei's identity was confirmed by Sun Zhaolin.

There is really no need to doubt anymore.

In fact, the moment Yunmengwei was caught, they had already lost.

…………

Two more days.

Cui Kezhang left all the gifts he received, including the two stunning female cultivators who showed him their taste, and left Zhaozhao City in embarrassment, returning to the capital of the gods.

At this time, in the capital of God, no one paid attention to the poor Cui Kezhang.

The case of Feng Quji's murder took a turn for the worse. Like a flash of lightning, it split through the fog in the capital of God, and like a thunderbolt, it shook countless people.

The most embarrassing one is naturally the Fifth Prince.

This is not just a conspiracy failure, nor is it just as simple as losing a chess piece in vain.

As the details of the case were exposed one by one, the five princes attacked and killed their cronies, framed them, and framed their brothers, all of which were serious crimes, and their prestige was greatly affected.

On the day Cui Kezhang returned to the divine capital, the fifth prince entered the palace to plead guilty.

It is said that Concubine Xiao Shu even broke into tears in front of Emperor Qian, almost kowtow to plead for mercy.The final result was that the fifth prince Qian Ke was punished and imprisoned in the palace for one year, and could not leave the palace without orders.

Compared with the mistakes committed by the fifth prince, the punishment is already light.

It's just that at this juncture of seizing the throne, the fifth prince was imprisoned, and I don't know how many people want to applaud.

At the same time, as this matter was made public, the Five Princes group was in an uproar and everyone was in danger.The fifth prince could sacrifice Feng Quji without hesitation, so how could he guarantee that he would not sacrifice them?
Vileness is the passport of the vile.

But despicability cannot be exposed to the light after all. Even if everyone knows it, it means something else if it is revealed nakedly.

Everyone needs face, right?

In order to appease his cronies and reintegrate faction forces, the fifth prince might not have the energy to trouble Qian Yuan for a long time to come.

And people like the third prince, the eighth prince, etc., although they failed to take the opportunity to suppress Qian Yuan, they were very happy to make the fifth prince scramble.

They have nothing to lose.

Through this counterattack, Qian Yuan finally gained some weight in Shendu, and he was no longer that poor loser who was at the mercy of others.
