Chapter 130: I’ll be the first to arrive at the banquet when I’m so mad at you(2/2)
As a result, the officials from the Ministry of Punishment initially judged that the bandits were in trouble. They were about to investigate which group of bandits were causing trouble in the nearby hills and reported to the county government for encirclement and suppression. However, they met a group of Taoist priests from Chongyunguan, who insisted that someone was in the Danyao Fu Shui.
Internal poisoning.
According to the above records, Chongyun Temple is a local Taoist temple. This temple has been around for a long time and has existed since the Sui Dynasty. The specific origin is unknown. During disasters, it occasionally gave food to the people and gained a good reputation.
But according to the Taoist priests who looked frightened and cried out in sorrow, when they were treating the villagers, the murderer poisoned the water. Not only did more than 300 people die tragically, but the remaining villagers also suffered great harm, even their sanity was lost.
Not sure.
Officials from the Ministry of Punishment suspected that they were the insane ones and dispersed the Taoist priests. However, because there were too many casualties, they visited the whole village.
Next, county government officials arrived, and they learned from many villagers that it was indeed Taoist priests who treated the disease and the elixir was poisoned.
It was also mentioned that the villagers suffered from a strange disease not long ago and were cured thanks to the treatment by Taoist priests from Chongyunguan.
After several investigations, officials from the Ministry of Punishment were unable to determine which was the truth. After being confirmed by the county government, they reported the case.
"Is it really Rashomon?"
Li Yanqi was surprised.
Judging from the recorded case files alone, Cui Shouye's judgment on this case seems to be correct.
Two completely different statements, but both are witnessed by witnesses. How is this going on?
But the question is, is this thin record really the whole story of the case?
Li Yan's eyes moved, and when Cui Shouye was looking at another case file attentively, he suddenly asked: "Whether it was the gangsters or the poisoning of the elixir, after this case, some officials in Dantu County were demoted.
, there are some who are in jail, right?”
Cui Shouye was startled by his sudden voice, and then said coldly: "If you want to ask about this matter, go to the Ministry of Personnel to transfer official status. Our Ministry of Punishment only has an overview of the case."
Li Yan smiled: "Okay."
He lowered his head again.
"you!!"
Cui Shouye had no choice but to work again.
After a moment, Li Yan suddenly said: "Why did this case alarm the officials of the Ministry of Justice? What were the local county magistrates and criminals doing when the case occurred?"
Cui Shouye was prepared and was not frightened this time. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The details of the case six years ago are all here. If Li Jiyi still has any questions, please go and investigate for yourself!"
Li Yan said oh and lowered his head again.
Cui Shouye couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and prepared to leave.
When Li Yan saw it, he stood up, smiled slightly and said, "I want to give Cui Shilang a piece of advice."
Cui Shouye raised his thick eyebrows slightly: "Oh?"
Li Yandao: "The officials from the Ministry of Justice who suggested concealing the facts of the case had better be arrested and interrogated strictly. There is absolutely no need to handle this case in this way unless someone has a guilty conscience!"
After finishing speaking, Li Yan bowed: "Secretary Cui, farewell!"
After that, he left without looking back.
Cui Shouye was left with dark pupils and his hands grasping the case.
Chapter completed!
