Chapter 412
Seven days later, the Censorate Office officially opened the trial of the Cisheng Zen Temple case. This case caused a sensation in the entire Tianzhou, and the people hated the lustful monks in the temple. Now they heard that they were going to retrial, and they all gathered around to inquire about the details.
Someone wondered: "Isn't this case already settled? All the lewd monks in the temple were sent to prison and were to be executed on a date. Today, the Censorate Department retried the trial, why?"
Someone said mysteriously: "You don't know. I said at the beginning, such a big thing, such a long time, has harmed so many girls, how could it be that a few monks dare to do? There must be powerful figures behind it. This time Ye Qingtian came here and was not afraid of the powerful, so he would have this retrial."
Someone asked again: "Who is Ye Qingtian?"
The person who spoke just now said contemptuously: "You are really ignorant. Have you heard of an article about Ye Zhuangyuan who has moved the world? Have you heard of the poetic demon Mr. Ye? Have you heard of Ye Magistrate Ye who guards the lonely city alone? Have you heard of no capital and no profit, but Ye Transshipment Commander who is comparable to Tao Zhu?"
The man nodded in surprise and said, "Mr. Ye is famous all over the world, how can I not know? Did Master Ye actually come to our Sichuan? This is really the Master Qingtian!"
Although Ye Xingyuan was transferred to Shuzhong, he was just a clerk in the yamen of the Censorate, not a local chief official, or even a yamen chief official. Many people did not know about it.
But he has a great reputation. He has heard of it when someone promotes it. He heard that he presided over the retrial, and the people unconsciously have confidence.
Although there were not many deeds in Ye Xingyuan's trial case, the Aqing case also caused a sensation in the government and the people. Among the rumors among the people, he was not only the Ye Prince Ye, but also Ye Qingtian, who had many stories about the crime. If he was older, he was afraid that Ye Qingtian's story would be more complicated.
"The people's hearts are available." Ye Xingyuan sat in the lobby, smiling calmly, without any information on his face.
The prefectures and counties on both sides all looked ugly and had their own ulterior motives. They could not be happy when they thought of the prodigal sons who might be implicated at any time.
Today, Mr. Wang specially praised Ye Xingyuan. He was the official seal official who should have been in charge of such a major retrial. Even if he didn't, Ye Xingyuan might not be able to take the lead according to seniority. However, Wang Bailing gave the full power to hear the case on the pretext of being unwell and handed over the power to hear the case to Ye Xingyuan.
So Ye Xingyuan was able to sit in the main hall of the yamen, and the Tong Magistrate, who was of the same grade as him, could only sit sideways, and he felt even more unhappy.
Seeing that the time was approaching, the prefect Tong sneered: "Mr. Ye, it's getting late. You have to re-examine the case of Cisheng Zen Temple today, but you don't send it back to the Tianzhou Prefecture Office. Obviously, you don't take this official seriously.
Since that's the case, I will wait and see what kind of reputation you can find!"
In the past few days, Tianzhou Prefecture and the Censorate Office have even had an affair. The Prefect Tong refused Ye Xingyuan's request many times, and Ye Xingyuan also rejected the proposal of the Prefect Tong's Prefecture to re-examine the proposal.
Generally speaking, if the inspector and the yamen review the case, and think that there is still a problem with the trial, it is more face-saving to send it back and retrial. Let the magistrate Tong have a retrial, so that both parties can step down.
But Ye Xingyuan knew that even if he involved so many sons in the officialdom, the magistrate Tong could not do it even if he wanted to kill his relatives for justice. If Tianzhou Prefecture retried it, it would definitely be the original result, which was a waste of time. Since that was the case, he might as well erase this process and directly lead the trial by the Censorate Office.
Of course, this is an extremely unpretentious act in the officialdom. It can even be said that he has no self. If Ye Xingyuan really retried the judgment of overturning the Tianzhou Prefecture, even if there is no matter about Tong Yanei, the prefect Tong will not be able to sit in the position of prefect.
So it can be said that both sides have already broken up nakedly. It is not surprising that Prison Tong said this.
Ye Xingyuan had long anticipated his attitude and didn't care. He just said lightly: "What kind of reputation can be found in this official? Lord Tong will naturally know. As long as you don't beg me to show mercy at that time, it will be done."
The prefect Tong was stunned. Unexpectedly, Ye Xingyuan dared to threaten this way, and sneered: "Sir, you have to think clearly that this case may not be something you can afford to be tried. Sir is the top scholar, Qingliu, and if you stay in Shu for a few years, you will naturally be promoted. Why both sides will suffer losses?"
In fact, he had already surrendered at this time. Under Wu Tongzhi's persuasion, he planned to persuade Ye Xingyuan for the last time in court.
Even if you don’t want to be lucky and get involved in the entire Shu officialdom, you will definitely not be able to provoke the King of Shu? Since there is a prince of Shu in this matter, it will be in the end. Why bother?
The Prefect Tong didn't believe that Ye Xingyuan had investigated so much and found no clues related to the Shu Palace. Even the stubborn and hard-working old man Wang had to bow his head. You, a new official with an unstable foundation, dare you say more and do more?
Ye Xingyuan said without changing his expression: "When I took my new position, there was a sigh of "the temple is small and the demon wind is strong, and the pond is shallow and there are many turtles." Today, I want to fight this demon wind to see how rampant the ghosts and monsters are! See how many turtles in the pond are, and dare to stop me!"
This sentence cursed everyone present. The prefect Tong was disgusted and returned to his case with resentment, but he was helpless.
Wu Tongzhi came to him and advised, "Sir, don't worry. At this point, we can only take one step at a time. In this court, it's not just him who covers the sky with his hands."
Today, Ye Xingyuan dares to retrieve the case, of course he is certainly sure. All they can do is to drag him back at all costs, but no one can be sure whether he can stop the crazy Ye Xingyuan.
Ye Xingyuan's trial was carried out step by step, and there was nothing surprising. At the beginning, the criminal was interrogated as usual.
At that time, all monks from Cisheng Zen Temple were imprisoned and sentenced because the incident was a bad local custom, and most of them were death row prisoners.
These monks were full of evil deeds, and Ye Xingyuan was not polite to them. He came up and was punished and beaten these lustful monks to make them cry, crying at their parents, and the onlookers unanimously applauded.
These flower-picking thieves who bullied women were most discriminated against. If they were caught on the spot, they would be beaten to death. When Qiu Hou asked for the death, he would have to collect a basket of rotten eggs and tomatoes.
Therefore, although Ye Xingyuan did not ask about the love, he just vented his anger for the people and the public was in front of him. The prefect of the Tong Magistrate and others could not say much. They just thought that this was killing the chicken for the monkey to see, and they held their breath.
Seeing Ye Xingyuan beat more than ten monks over and over again, enjoying it, local officials finally couldn't help but remind him: "Sir, stop at the right time. These are just accomplices and minions. Even if they are beaten to death, they can't ask anything. Why do you have to do this? If you accidentally get killed in the court, you're afraid that someone will make trouble."
Ye Xingyuan said domineeringly: "If you get killed, you will get killed. It can be considered as an annoyance to the people. I want to see who wants to hit the gun and make trouble."
He understood the main contradiction today. The entire Shuzhong officialdom was waiting for him to play his trump card, but he did not dare to get entangled in these details. However, King Ji Jishen of Shu, who was relied on by Shuzhong officialdom, was suspicious of theft of the blood letter of loyalty and was afraid of the rat.
This opportunity allowed Ye Xingyuan to show his strength. Even if he really killed a few people, the other party could only temporarily endure it.
Therefore, it is useless to fight. However, these monks are strong and very patient. Even after three rounds of fighting, no one has died. Ye Xingyuan saw that the fight was almost enough, so he impatiently ordered the yamen runners to drag them all down.
He smiled and sighed in the hall, "I can only exclaim my anger in this way!" The voice was not loud, enough for all the officials to hear it. The magistrate Tong and others gritted their teeth, but they could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
To be beaten to death, only then will it be considered to be the official stage of today's trial. Ye Xingyuan first announced Luo Xiaojuan to the court. The prefect Tong knew that this was one of the key witnesses, so he said, "Sir, Luo Xiaojuan should be overstimulated during the initial trial, suffer from madness and incoherence, and is afraid that the testimony is not enough to be accepted."
They didn't care whether the only victim was true or not. As long as she was crazy and couldn't say any important testimony, these bureaucrats could rest assured.
Now Ye Xingyuan retried the case and found Luo Xiaojuan. The bureaucrats didn't care at first, but later Ye Xingyuan became more and more serious, and they hated that they did not kill anyone to silence him.
However, when she testified, of course, she would be crazy to kill this person, and her testimony must not be valid.
Ye Xingyuan had long expected that these people would be so despicable, so he didn't care, so he said calmly: "This woman was indeed confused at first, but after being carefully guided by my official, and being grateful to her, her mercy, she has recovered at this time."
What does this matter have to do with the emperor? He is not a doctor who specializes in treating mental illness? You said that it will be cured and that it will be cured. What else should you do? This is obviously a big banner to make a tiger skin. But there is no way to refute this, so you can only wait for Luo Xiaojuan to come to court in silence.
Luo Xiaojuan has been kept in the yamen of the Censorate these days, and she is delicious and has a fat and sturdy life. She has become much more courageous. She kowtowed first when she went to the court, and knelt on the side without being humble or arrogant.
Ye Xingyuan asked casually: "Luo Xiaojuan, you are trapped in a tiger's nest and are insulted and sympathetic. This official retried the case today to clarify the truth and give you a clean innocence. Do you dare to testify in court?"
Luo Xiaojuan kowtowed and said, "The little woman was invaded by others and had nowhere to live. She hated these beasts in the middle of her clothes and hated her to the core. She hoped that the adults would not fear the powerful and would pull out the people behind the scenes one by one and bring them to justice. The little woman would die without regrets!"
She kowtowed heavily, with a stern tone, and the onlookers were filled with thunder! The case of Cisheng Temple still had internal information, and there was a commander behind her. You must dig deeper and never let go. The four words "not afraid of the powerful" immediately ignited the passion of the people.
