Chapter 1126 Intensification of Contradiction (Part 1)
Li Yuanji said angrily, "He also knows that he has no shame to come to see his father. If he had known today, why would he have affair with Zhang Xuan and betrayed my Tang Dynasty?"
Li Yuanji seemed to be angry, but in fact he was reminding his father that Yu Yun betrayed the Tang Dynasty and betrayed his father, and that he would die.
But Li Yuan was the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty after all, so he was angry, but he also knew that Yu Yun, as an important member of the Guanlong nobles, was a third-rank high-ranking official, and died in vain. It was probably difficult to explain to the court officials and the Guanlong nobles.
Li Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "You can tell me the process of this matter in detail first. If there is any evidence, you can take it out together."
Li Yuanji had received an in-person instruction from Cui Wenxiang, so he had problems with how to show Qingyun Restaurant and how Yu Yun burned the restaurant to destroy evidence. They began to investigate and received a secret report from the Tai Student, so they decided to arrest Yu Weiming. Yu Weiming explained how Yu Yun colluded with the Chang'an Intelligence Agency, but at the critical point, Li Yuanji made changes.
"I learned that there was a handwritten letter from Zhang Xuan in Yu Yun's study, and I was afraid that Yu Yun would destroy the evidence, so I rushed to Yu's mansion immediately and found the letter first. When I was about to leave, I met Yu Yun and returned to the mansion. He now had obtained the evidence of his collusion with Zhang Xuan, so he insisted that Er Chen was framed and framed him, and he kept saying that he wanted to impeach Er Chen and arrest his son without authorization. Er Chen had no choice but to bring him to meet the saint and let him explain it to his father. Unexpectedly, he committed suicide in fear of crime."
Li Yuanji's words were basically free of loopholes. Li Yuan also knew that Yu Yun had gone to Chencang County today and would not be able to come back in the evening. Li Yuan also believed that his son would not be so reckless. He pondered for a moment and said, "Is there any clue from the Chang'an Intelligence Agency?"
Li Yuanji shook his head, "This is the most regrettable thing for my sons. Because there was no evidence at that time, he did not arrest the shopkeeper of Qingyun Restaurant in time, but they escaped. From Yu Weiming, he learned that Qingyun Restaurant is the old nest of Chang'an Intelligence Agency. Gao Jin is one of the leaders of Chang'an Intelligence Agency. Yu Weiming didn't know where they had escaped. Only Yu Yun knew, but Yu Yun is now."
Speaking of this, Li Yuanji knelt down and said, "My son is not good at doing things well, please punish him!"
Li Yuan waved his hand. He was not interested in whether he could catch the Chang'an Intelligence Agency. He only cared about how to block the Guanlong nobles' mouths and left them speechless. Although this letter was ironclad, he also knew that it was not only Yu Yun who had an affair with Minister Zhang Xuan. It was normal for him to leave a way out for himself, but it did not necessarily mean that they would harm the Tang Dynasty. But if it could catch evidence that Yu Yun secretly sent intelligence to the Chang'an Intelligence Agency, the nature would be serious.
But the son was unable to catch this evidence, so Yu Weiming's confession could barely be explained. He had to read Yu Weiming's confession carefully again, and then said to Li Yuanji: "Now you need to do three things. First, return Yu Yun's body to his family. This matter is limited to Yu Yun's father and son, and his family and property are not allowed to be moved; second, you hand over the case to the Censorate, and I will give you a gold medal, let the Ministry of Justice come forward, contact the Censorate and Dali Temple, and hold the case for the Third Department to be tried. These two things will begin tonight. Third, you continue to search for Gao Jin and try every means to catch this person. At the same time, you must determine the identity of this person. Do you understand what I mean?"
"My son understand!"
Li Yuan took out the emperor's gold medal and handed it to Li Yuanji, "Go! I'll work harder tonight and get things done for me."
Li Yuanji took the gold medal and walked quickly. Li Yuan pondered for a moment. Yu Yun committed suicide. The impact tomorrow must be great. He must first appease the nobles of Guanlong. Li Yuan immediately wrote a letter, ordering the guards to rush to Dou Mansion immediately and handed the letter to Dou Wei.
If a case is tried by the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple and the Censorate, it is called the Three Divisions Trials. Generally, it will only receive such treatment if it is a relatively serious case. The Three Divisions Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Trials Tri
The specifications for the examination of the Grand Third Department should be higher, and the examination will be conducted by the Minister of Justice, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple and the Chief Censor of the Censor. This is usually a very serious case, or the level of the officials involved in the case is very high, such as a senior official above the third rank, otherwise the examination of the Grand Third Department would not be easily used.
The Minister of Justice of the Tang Dynasty was Li Yuan's son-in-law Zhao Cijing. Because the last time an innocent official of the Ministry of War was arrested, he was killed. Zhao Cijing was furious and wanted to resign and return home. In order to appease him, Li Yuan promoted him to the Minister of Justice and transferred him from the Ministry of War, which made it less difficult for him to be a human being.
Li Yuan asked Li Yuanji to find the Ministry of Justice first and asked the Ministry of Justice to take the lead in the trial of the Third Division. The main reason was to consider that Zhao Cijing was his son-in-law and would take care of his brother-in-law, turning this matter into small matters, but Li Yuan forgot the case of the Ministry of War.
Perhaps in Li Yuan's opinion, it was just a small matter and didn't have to take it to heart, but for Zhao Cijing, it was a great shame that he could never forget.
In the front hall of Zhao Cijing's mansion, Li Cijing listened to Li Yuanji's explanation with a cold expression. He restrained his strong hatred. If it weren't for the lord's gold medal, he would never allow Li Yuanji to enter his mansion.
"I understand this case. I will arrange for Mr. Zhou to take over. It's very late now. If there is nothing else, His Highness the King of Chu will invite him back!"
The other party's indifferent attitude also made Li Yuanji secretly annoyed. He also said coldly: "The father specially told me that the third department of this case will be established tonight, and the trial will begin tomorrow morning. It is not enough to delay it at all. Please ask Shangshu Zhao to go to the imperial city to arrange it immediately! I will send someone to send the prisoners and files to the Ministry of Justice."
"I know what to do and see off guests!"
Zhao Cijing drove Li Yuanji without hesitation. Li Yuanji was extremely angry, glared at Zhao Cijing fiercely, and turned around and left quickly.
Zhao Cijing looked at his back and disappeared, sneered to himself: "I actually killed the third-rank high-ranking official. I think how you ended up?"
Of course he knew why the emperor handed over the case to himself, but in fact he was to wipe Li Yuanji's butt. The so-called three-party trial was to make Yu Yun's case conform to the law. The Grand Third Division was set up tonight, which was obviously to block the Guanlong nobles' mouths.
Although Zhao Cijing was extremely reluctant, the emperor's gold medal made him dare not disobey, so he had to order: "Prepare a carriage for me!"
The next morning, the news of Yu Yun committing suicide in front of Zhuque Gate spread throughout the court and the country, and the court was shocked. Yu Yun was an important figure of the Guanlong nobles and a high-ranking official of the court. His death made all the civil and military officials in the court sad for him. Everyone knew in their hearts that since this case was done by King Li Yuanji, the reason why Yu Yun committed suicide was self-evident.
Although Emperor Li Yuan issued an order to take the lead and join the Censorate and Dali Temple to carry out the Tribunal for the Tribunal to investigate the truth about Yu Yun's affair with the enemy country, officials continued to go to Yu's mansion to express their strong dissatisfaction with the emperor's indulgence in the murder of the ministers.
Yu Yun has three sons, the eldest and second sons are both officials from other places, and only the youngest son Yu Weiming follows him. Now Yu Yun is dead, Yu Weiming is imprisoned again. Yu Yun's wife and daughter are left in Yu's house. The whole family is like the sky has collapsed. Everyone only knows how to cry around the body, and no one knows what to do?
Thanks to Yu Yun's cousin Yu Qinming who came to preside over the funeral in time, he forced himself to set up a spiritual shed, collect the body into the coffin for relatives and friends to come and pay condolences.
As soon as dawn, Dugu Qiang, who received the news, rushed over. Of course, Dugu Qian knew that Yu Yun and Zhang Xuan had a secret connection. It was because he got Yu Yun's help to secretly provide Gao Nu's fire oil from Yan'an County to the Northern Sui army.
Yu Yun's death shocked Dugu Qian. After worshiping in the mourning hall, he immediately found Yu Qinming and asked anxiously: "What's going on?"
"Brother, don't worry, please come with me!"
Yu Qinming took Dugu Qian to a room in the inner hall, and saw a person sitting in the room. Dugu Qian knew this person, who was the butler of the Yu family. He asked in confusion: "Why is the butler here?"
Yu Qinming sneered: "Li Yuanji killed all my brother's entourage and coachman, thinking there was no witness, but he did not see the housekeeper hiding in the door. The housekeeper knew the cause and effect of this matter. Mr. Liu, tell Lord Dugu!"
Butler Liu knelt down and kowtowed and cried, "Mr. Dugu, my master died so miserably!"
He then offended Li Yuanji. Today, Deming sent someone to deliver a letter and went to the black prison to inquire about the news. In the evening, Li Yuanji personally brought someone to the search mansion. He happened to meet the master who came back, and how they killed someone, and so on, he explained in detail.
Dugu's eyes were full of tears when he heard this. He never expected that Li Yuanji would dare to commit such a reproachable crime. He was a high-ranking official of the third rank and the Duke of Changping County. In Li Yuanji's eyes, he was even worse than a dog. He harmed his son and even came to force his father to death. It was because a tavern refused to sell it to him that he took revenge so cruelly.
Yu Qinming gritted his teeth and said, "My brother was obviously unwilling to be humiliated and committed suicide, but he pulled the body to Zhuque Gate and falsely accused my brother of committing suicide for fear of crime. He wrote a letter with Zhang Xuan and committed suicide for fear of crime. Half of the civil and military officials in the court should die. My elder brother was forced to death and my nephew was beaten to death by them. I can't swallow this tone of Yu family."
Dugu Teng nodded slowly, "This matter is not over. I'll go find Dou Wei now. I'll see what he says!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard from his family outside, "Master, Master Dou is here!" (To be continued.)8
