Chapter 107 Case closed, Prince Duan
Single evidence is not enough.
That is, there is only one piece of evidence, and they cannot verify each other. That does not constitute evidence.
This is the iron rule of handling cases.
If one person's testimony can be trusted, then doesn't that mean anyone can be wrongly accused?
There must be other witnesses.
This is why the Shang family is confident of victory.
Because, except for this one "ungrateful" person, all the other troublemakers had been dealt with by them.
Mingxinsi is investigating this case and they have been paying close attention to it.
Chu Jue found a victim.
This is why they were not afraid at all and dared to go to the Ministry of Justice to file a complaint.
The woman didn't understand why a single testimony was not enough, so she kowtowed and said:
"Sir, I am telling the truth! The fabric from Jinxiu Cloth Shop killed my child. My neighbor next door also bought fabric from them and got a carbuncle..."
Minister Zhou looked disdainful, "But no one else said that the sore was caused by the fabric from Jinxiu Cloth Shop... Captain Chu, what do you think?"
Chu Jue was very angry.
Everyone knows that the Shang family’s fabrics are harmful, but there is no evidence to convict the Shang family.
"I am the second person." Song Heng said coldly. He lifted up his wide sleeves and saw a poisonous sore on his arm.
"I heard that the cloth from Jinxiu Cloth Shop was poisonous. In order to prevent innocent people from being wrongly accused, I bought a piece of cloth and made it into clothes... Now, do you have enough evidence?"
The whole house was silent.
Shang Yanwen couldn't believe it, "You are crazy..."
Knowing that the fabric would cause poisonous sores, they still bought it and wore it...
What normal person can do such a thing?
Minister Zhou was also horrified...
He thought he had a sure win, so he teamed up with the Shang family. But now there are two witnesses...
He handled a false case...
It is a crime of dereliction of duty.
Chu Jue was also very shocked. "Good fellow, brother, you are a ruthless person. Great, now the evidence is solid, come, seal up Jinxiu Cloth Shop immediately! Arrest the people related to the Shang family!"
"And these two who made false accusations, you two are guilty of counter-accusations, drag them away and execute them!"
He directly handled the case in the Ministry of Justice.
At this moment, Minister Zhou was only thinking about how to reduce his guilt and no longer cared about the Shang family...
"Wait... let me go..." Shang Yanwen's face was full of fear.
Remove the fame.
Fifty lashes.
How much breath will he have left after beating him?
Zhou Hongyang, who was sitting on a stretcher nearby, saw Shang Yanwen being dragged away and felt a sense of sympathy.
I just felt my legs, which had not yet recovered, begin to ache again...
…
Jiang Rong was also a little surprised.
From the moment she learned that Chu Jue had found a witness, she knew that a single piece of evidence would not be enough to convict the Shang family.
But there is a witness, which at least proves that there are still doubts in this case...
The Ministry of Justice cannot directly sentence Song Heng and others.
So they can be taken away...
Of course, if there is no witness, Jiang Rong will have another way to deal with it. In short, he must rescue the person...
She will protect the people in the Northern Palace.
She also didn't expect that Song Heng would actually buy the poisonous fabric himself...
Coming out of the Ministry of Justice.
Jiang Rong looked at Song Heng and said, "I'll ask Dr. Xiao to take a look at you..."
"The students used some tricks." It was the first time Song Heng did this, and his expression looked a little unnatural.
When he wrote this article, he found that no one dared to sue the authorities.
So he deliberately went to buy cloth.
That woman is the real victim.
He is the kind of person who, when he cannot collect evidence, creates evidence himself.
For Song Heng, who has always been upright and open, he feels that he is not being open enough.
"Uphold justice, no matter what means necessary. But you...are risking your life, and I don't quite agree with that." Jiang Rong looked at him and said.
She praised his methods, but disapproved of him hurting himself.
Song Heng smiled:
"Thank you, Princess."
There are some things in this world that always require taking risks.
If you can do it, then fine.
…
When Xie Ruojiao heard the news that Song Heng was injured, she immediately rushed from the palace to the Wanjuan Study.
"Xiao Nanxing, this carbuncle is so terrible, can it be cured?" Xie Ruojiao looked at it eagerly, very worried.
After a careful examination, Xiao Nanxing nodded and said, "Fortunately, it is from the outside to the inside, and has just grown out, and has not penetrated into the bone marrow. It only needs to be treated with medicine. If it has been there for a long time, the rotten flesh will need to be dug out... then it will be difficult to treat..."
"That's great, give him medicine quickly. Use the most expensive and best medicine!" Xie Ruojiao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Doctor Xiao, and thank you, Second Miss." Song Heng expressed his gratitude.
"You're welcome... This is so infuriating. You were clearly helping them get justice, but only one person came out to testify! Jinxiu Cloth Shop almost got cleared of all charges!" Xie Ruojiao muttered and complained.
Song Heng shook his head slightly. "The people just want to live. They have no choice."
Even if Jinxiu Cloth Shop collapsed...
The Minister of Revenue is still there.
The Shang family is doing well too.
Faced with such a family of high-ranking officials, how dare they resist?
The powerful and the wealthy bully people, this is the trend of the government. And all he can do is to join the officialdom and change all this...
"Well, you're right, the people are indeed helpless." Xie Ruojiao nodded slightly. She felt that whatever Song Heng said made sense.
Then he looked at him with concern:
"Does your arm hurt? Do you want some candied fruit? When I'm in pain, I like to eat sweets, and it works..."
A few days later.
The emperor issued an edict, announcing that this year's Enke...
The provincial examination will be held in July this year, and the metropolitan examination will be held the following month.
At the same time, the date for an audience with King Yuesha was also set.
On May 27, a grand audience banquet was held in the palace. All high-ranking civil and military officials and their wives were required to attend.
Xie Ruojiao had been concentrating on Song Heng's injury recently, and she had no interest in the palace banquets that she always loved to attend.
He sat listlessly beside Jiang Rong.
"Second sister, I'm not familiar with the palace and I'm afraid I'll get lost. Can you follow me?" Jiang Rong asked.
Xie Ruojiao nodded, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm very familiar with this place, I'll take you with me."
Jiang Rong was not afraid of taking the wrong path, but was worried that Xie Ruojiao might encounter something when she acted alone.
The palace banquet had not yet begun.
The emperor summoned the Northern Prince, the Crown Prince, and the Minister of Rites to discuss matters in the Imperial Study...
The ladies and rich girls who arrived early gathered in groups of three or four to chat.
At this moment, a man in a blue robe inlaid with gold dragons walked in, surrounded by a group of scholars.
The only one who can wear the dragon robe is the prince.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Duan!" When everyone saw him, they all bowed.
"Please don't be polite, everyone..." Murong Shili had a gentle and elegant appearance, looking like a graceful gentleman.
But the moment Jiang Rong's eyes fell on him, his heart turned cold.
King Yuesha in the previous life did not enter the capital at this time.
So there would be no evening banquet today.
Murong Shili met Xie Ruojiao at a literary gathering several months later.
He deliberately tried to attract Xie Ruojiao's attention, and eventually the two of them had an affair.
The old concubine did not want the Northern Prince's Palace to be involved in the fight for the crown prince, and did not agree to this marriage.
