Three days later, Han Chengke's case was heard in the lobby of the Criminal Office.

The head of the emperor sat the imperial envoy, Feng Ying, the Minister of Justice, and Liu Tongsheng, the governor of Henan and the commissioned criminal envoy of Henan.

On both sides of the lower head, there were teams of Jinyiwei with embroidered spring swords hanging on the waist.

Several people stood in the hall, including the plaintiff Han Chengke, the defendant Xiangfu County Magistrate, the Chengzhe who arrested Han Chengke and others.

"City Sir King Er, is the Juren Han captured by you?"

"Return to the imperial envoy, it's..."

Facing the imperial envoy, the city soldiers dared not lie. I heard that this matter was in front of the imperial court...

As a gavel sounded, Feng Ying's mouth began to interrogate quickly like a machine gun.

"Lai Yuejing, the magistrate of Xiangfu County, you violated the emperor's order and made profits from it on the grounds of Lu Gui. The military chaos caused the death of Han Liu. Are you aware of your crime?"

"Wei Shengjin, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, as a governor, you have the responsibility of supervising local officials, but you have the responsibility to shelter guilty ministers and make money on a large scale. Do you know that you are guilty?"

“….”

Feng Ying was well versed in the laws of the Ming Dynasty and worked hard in the Ministry of Justice for many years. He was in charge of the position of Minister of Justice for ten years. He had a very rich experience, had a very fast pace of trial cases, and his words were also to the point.

The magistrate of Xiangfu County was almost stunned. Fortunately, he had done the case trial and knew that he had made great efforts to argue.

He retorted: "Return to the imperial envoy, the officials were not in charge of military affairs, nor were they unwilling to resolve the issue. It was because of this unreasonable act. The officials had already paid him ten taels of silver!"

Lai Yuejing continued to defend and quit the blame: "After the incident, the official wanted to bury his mother with great care and promised to find a job for him so that he could live a good life in the future, but he didn't want it, saying that life was at stake and he couldn't just do it."

Han Chengke was furious: "Human life is at stake. You don't punish the chief criminal, but you are making a fuss about it!"

The city soldiers also turned the blame and said, "What's wrong with the villain arresting the refugees who have no way to attract them?"

Feng Ying naturally refused to listen to what they were going around, and slapped the gavel again and shouted: "Is that a refugee? You caught it by mistake, but failed to hear it in time, so this delayed the opportunity and caused a murder case!

I am in charge of filial piety in the world. Han Juren is the most filial person and asks for an explanation for his mother. Is it wrong? Not only do you not give others justice, but you also collude and oppress the people. Lai Yuejing, are you guilty of your crime?"

The case seems simple, but it involves everyone's thoughts.

After an hour of trial, witnesses such as Liu Yikou came out to testify one after another, and the whole case became more and more serious.

First, the magistrate bit out of the prefect, and then the minor official Liu Yi told the prefect and the governor. The magistrate bit out of Song Shangtian who went to intercept Han Juren.

In the final analysis, this case was caused by road attacks. Henan Province did not implement the new policy to abolish road attacks. How could the governor Song Quan not escape?

If the court did not abolish the road-guiding system, the case would be difficult to settle. At most, the city with the smallest official position would be allowed to be pushed to the jar, and there would be nothing wrong with it.

However, now, the city soldiers who act according to law have the least sins, and the greater the official position, the more unlucky they are.

The imperial envoy was in charge, surrounded by Jinyiwei. In the face of a series of evidence listed by the factory guards, Wei Shengjin and others had no power to refute. They finally lost their former spirit and hung their heads.

The content of the trial leaked. The governor Song Quan learned that he was sold and wanted to run away, but was caught by the Jinyiwei who was staring at him.

After Feng Ying's interrogation, the Jinyiwei searched for evidence, and the letters from Song Quan's officials who came to Nanjing were found.

Seeing that the new policy was involved, more and more officials were being held, and private transactions between officials also surfaced. Feng Ying was shocked. Even as an imperial envoy, he did not dare to ask the Wang Ming flag to deal with it easily.

After thinking for a while, he explained the current situation in Henan in detail and sent the express horse to Nanjing, asking for an order.

The memorial was handed over to the cabinet in just four days.

In Wenhua Hall, several cabinet ministers were frightened.

The chief assistant Yang Tinglin even turned white with his lips, and he said in a deep voice: "There are 187 officials in Henan Province, who are from top to bottom, contact with each other, and are traitors in the outside and inside, and deceive the Mongolian court. He committed a tremendous crime! It's really horrible!"

Zhang Guowei, the second assistant to the cabinet, said: "Gei Yang, this matter is too big, how should we deal with it?"

Since the case has been determined, the next thing is to punish. So many officials are involved in one go. It is impossible to kill all prefecture-county officials, right? Some Beijing officials...

The cabinet ministers did not dare to take the initiative without authorization, nor did they know how to vote.

Everyone knows the temper of Emperor Tianwu. If he knows, it would be a big deal?

But who dares to hide it from reporting it?

In the end, the memorial handed over by Feng Ying still appeared on the Dragon Case in the Qianqing Palace.

There was a cabinet vote on it, suggesting that the main evildoer Song Quan be killed, and all the officials from all prefectures and counties were not guilty.

The reason given by the cabinet was that the governor Song Quan did not inherit the new policy, and the officials of these prefectures followed the wrong instructions of Shangguan. It was understandable that the law did not punish the public.

How to deal with these officials is a difficult problem, but for Zhu Cixuan, it is a bonus question!

After reading this long list of officials, Zhu Cixuan threw the memorial aside and sneered: "Innocence? Every official in the imperial palace must read it. It clearly states the content of the new policy. How can they not know?"

"As local parents, they should have followed the emperor's order to benefit the people. However, they know but do not do it, do not report it, deceive the court, fail to govern, exploit the people, and collude with each other. These officials are also called parents?"

The law does not punish the public, right? Sorry, I don’t want to be with you!

Zhu Cilang issued an order that shocked everyone: "All prefectures, prefectures, prefectures, magistrates and other chief officials with road guides will be killed! The deputy commander will be punished with one hundred sticks and will be exiled!"

Before the cabinet recovered, another decree was heard: "This decree is not limited to Henan, and all provinces across the country will deal with it according to this decree!"

"In addition, the Censorate inspected Henan's censor, and did not report it well, and he would kill him if he knew about it!"

As the saying goes, the bigger the position, the greater the responsibility and the more severe the punishment.

"The Henan governor Song Quan deceived the emperor and the emperor, oppressed the people, formed cliques for personal gain, and searched the house and beheaded!"

"The unlucky man Song Shangtian, who prevents those who enter the capital with the great edict, will punish the nine clans according to the ancestral system, and will be executed immediately!"

"The chief of Yingtian Prefecture, Jin Zhijun, Dali Temple Minister Pan Shiliang, and the left censor Gao Douguang of the Censorate, colluded with local officials and joined forces with the people. The crimes are unforgivable and exiled to Taiwan!"

Don’t everyone usually put the ancestral system next to their mouths? Now I will use the ancestral system set by Lao Zhu to treat you. I’ll ask you, is it sour or not?

After the decree was issued, the court was shocked. At present, the Ming Dynasty had 15 provinces and more than 1,000 counties, and there were still many who insisted on the road-guiding system.

It is conceivable that there will be many officials who will land on this decree of Emperor Tianwu!

This killing stick that remediates the local area is so poisonous and ruthless!

An official reported to dissuade him and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress is about to give birth. Please reduce the treatment on this day of great joy and accumulate virtue for the little prince..."

Zhu Cilang immediately threw the memorial out of the Ganqing Palace and cursed: "If I pardon these dog officials, that would be a sin!"

"Kill them all! Don't wait until after autumn, and the order will come to be killed!"
Chapter completed!
