Chapter 461: Go and invite Mr. Ye
Seeing Zhao Kaifeng's expression, Luke knew that this matter was probably serious.
However, the other party had already spoken, so he could only accept the document.
But the more he read the content, the uglier his face became.
This is not his first day as an official. He has held other positions before and has been involved in the task of solving cases.
But today's case, judging from the context, is already very difficult to handle.
In this era, although it has already passed through the Song Dynasty, Song Ci and others developed the forensic system.
Moreover, each government office is also equipped with a police officer who can cooperate with inspections and investigations at any time. However, in fact, due to the underdevelopment of technology and medicine, there are still some limitations in solving cases.
Often when encountering a murder case, you have to spend a lot of time, and after the investigation is over, even if the case is closed, you have to be on tenterhooks, lest when you report it to the Ministry of Punishment, it will be dismissed for retrial, or even an unjust case will be made, and your future will be lost.
Regardless of what people outside say about officials protecting each other, if there is a murder case involving 17 people, the impact will be huge. The other party is not related to you, so why should they favor you?
Even if you use money, it is related to human life, and sometimes the other party may not accept it.
In a word, it is about human life. There is no small matter. If you are not careful, you may lose your future.
After reading the document, Luke tried to stay calm. He glanced at Zhao Kaifeng, and the two exchanged glances quickly, showing a tacit understanding.
"Well, since we are going to open a court room for questioning, we must be prepared. You should first appease the victims and ask them to wait in the side room!"
After giving instructions to the clerk, Lu You turned around and looked at Zhao Kaifeng.
Zhao Kaifeng also understood what the other party meant, so he bowed to everyone and then dismissed them.
In the final analysis, this matter is between him and Luke. If there are too many people involved, not only will it not help, it may also cause trouble.
After everyone left, Zhao Kaifeng sat on a chair with a worried look on his face.
"What should we do? This case seems ordinary, but there are many strange things. If the judgment is wrong, I'm afraid there will be trouble."
Luke took a breath and slowly exhaled it. He thought for a long time before answering.
"In my opinion, we shouldn't ask School Disciple to hire Fu Yin Tianjin.
Zhao Kaifeng was startled for a moment, then became sluggish and slumped back in his chair.
"You don't know what kind of temper my lord is? It would be great if he is interested in this case. If not, wouldn't he just feel that we are not doing our job well?"
Just as Luke was about to answer, Zhao Kaifeng added another sentence.
"Besides, my lord used to work in the Ministry of Rites. Even if he has a great reputation and outstanding talent, do you think he can really handle this murder case?"
This sentence actually has another meaning, that is, if Ye Xuan is involved, the wrong case will be concluded.
At that time, they may still become scapegoats, and Ye Xuan will not let them go if he loses face.
Looking at Zhao Kaifeng's expression, Luke You also felt a little headache.
He had just read it, and what was said in the case was actually very simple. It was nothing more than the fact that the son had not returned home from an outing. The old mother at home sent someone to inquire, and then she found out that her son had drowned in the river. It had been several days since then.
His life and death are unknown. School Disciple salvaged and searched for him, but his whereabouts were not found.
On the surface, it seems that the son may have encountered some trouble, or he just couldn't think about it for a moment and jumped into the river.
But the problem is that judging from the situation in the complaint, the son did not run away in anger, and the family also has considerable wealth. He does not seem to be seeking short-sightedness either emotionally or rationally.
What's even more strange is, if this person saw the other person drowning in the river, why didn't he rescue him or call for help?
According to the laws of this dynasty, if you don't save someone before you die, you will be punished.
Listing all kinds of things, it is obvious that there is something extraordinary in them.
But neither Lu You nor Zhao Kaifeng could figure out the key at this moment.
After thinking for a moment, Luyou clapped his hands and seemed to have made up his mind.
He said to Zhao Kaifeng: "In any case, this governor is Mr. Ye. If we don't inform him, we will be derelict in our duties. In my opinion, we might as well go to see your Majesty with the complaint first. If your Majesty is willing to accept it, we will invite him Come on, if you don’t want to, let’s think of another way.”
When Luke spoke, he also made an extremely obscure gesture.
Zhao Kaifeng nodded, but then he looked a little helpless.
He didn't know that the other method Luyou called was actually to push the case to the lower-level yamen.
In the past, when encountering quite difficult cases, former governors would often use this method. They would wait until they came up with a countermeasure, then step in to correct the chaos and turn the trouble into their own political achievements.
As for whether the people below are good or bad, who cares whether they will be punished for this?
This kind of thing is a tacit understanding in the officialdom. If you want to blame it, you can only blame the county, city, and administrative district. Moreover, the official examination also stipulates the time for solving the murder case, as well as the corresponding rewards and punishments.
The two of them made up their minds and naturally did not dare to delay. They hurriedly left the back hall and headed to the Shen family together.
Not long after, the Shen family returned to their back house.
Ye Xuan held the complaint in his hand, "with a hint of amusement on his face.
He read the complaint, handed it back to Zhao Kaifeng, and then spoke with a smile.
"Do you want me to open a court for questioning?"
Zhao Kaifeng had a strange face and a reserved expression. He was in a dilemma about how to answer, but Lu Youyou took the lead.
"Your Excellency, it is clear that this is a murder case after all. It is safest for you to intervene in person. Although you don't care about the official's examination results, this person's words and people's hearts are terrifying!"
When Zhao Kaifeng heard this, he felt worried, fearing that his colleagues' words would irritate Ye Xuan and cause some trouble423.
But Ye Xuan, on the other hand, looked calm at the moment and seemed not to be affected by these words.
After a short silence, just when Zhao Kaifeng couldn't help but want to say something, Ye Xuan finally spoke.
"Okay, let's go back together, but let's forget about it. The matter has not been investigated yet. There is no good in making a big fuss. There is really a murderer, and maybe he is also watching us!"
After hearing Ye Xuan's words, the two thought that Ye Xuan just wanted to go through the motions, but Ye Xuan had already spoken, and they couldn't say anything else.
So the two of them agreed and rushed towards the Yamen.
The three of them returned to the Yamen, but before entering the courtroom, they heard a burst of crying.
Ye Xuan frowned slightly, knowing that it must be the master of suffering who was causing trouble.
He felt helpless in his heart. You must know that if the current yamen's powers are re-divided and professional talents are used to handle these cases, perhaps the efficiency and accuracy will be improved.
During their chat, he already knew the concerns of Lu You and Zhao Kaifeng. Although he understood them, he felt more helpless.
Just as his thoughts were wandering, an old district man rushed out from the room.
Ye Xuan frowned slightly when he saw him. When the clerk saw Ye Xuan, he hurriedly saluted and accused him.
"I have disturbed your lord, please forgive me!"
