Chapter 369 Chapter 368 New Official Encounters Blockage 2
The family suddenly became very nervous, and Su Yanli comforted everyone: "I have handled several cases like this in Songjiang Prefecture. As long as the review is clear, there will be no problem. Don't worry."
Cheng Yingzhen was still worried, "How long has this case been going on? Why didn't the previous minister handle it?"
"It just so happens that I'm about to be transferred." Su Yanli did not pretend to be relaxed. After looking at the case file, he found that it was just an ordinary civil criminal case.
Zhao Lan also spoke up, "Master's Wife, Ah Jin, you don't have to worry. I'm here for you if things get worse."
That's right. As the top officer of the Investigation Department of the Imperial City Division, Zhao Lan has encountered all kinds of cases. This kind of case is really a piece of cake for him.
Su Ruojin thought about it and let go, continuing to enjoy the wonderful life of a single girl with her mother and younger sister.
Three days later, Su Yanli reviewed the case of murdering his neighbor's wife. After the review, he upheld the first-instance judgment of the Dali Temple, sentenced the murderer to death and beheaded in the autumn. The trial result was sent to Wang's house. The old lady ran to the intersection of the Ministry of Justice late at night and hanged herself. When she was found the next day, she had been dead for a long time.
There were many people watching, and many of them sympathized with the old lady. They all felt that Wang San must have been wronged, otherwise the old lady would not have died on the tree at the intersection of the Ministry of Justice in such a decisive way.
"If there weren't guards on duty at the Ministry of Justice, the old lady would have crashed to death at the door of the Ministry of Justice to show that her son was wrongly accused."
"I think so, too."
Someone shook his head and sighed, "Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has worked hard to achieve peace and prosperity for the country and the people. I never thought that he could make a mistake in handling a case and cause someone to die in vain."
…
All these voices suddenly pushed the newly appointed Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice to the forefront, and the nature of the case seemed to have changed all of a sudden.
Even Su Ruojin, who was staying at home waiting to get married, heard all kinds of rumors, which shows what kind of accusations Su Yanli will face.
"Uncle Shutong, is the coroner sure that the old woman hanged herself on the tree?"
Shu Tong nodded heavily, "Yes."
"It must be the old coroner!"
Shu Tong also thought that it was a novice who made a wrong judgment, but the body was personally examined by the Dali Temple Secretary and his old coroner.
"Now even the emperor knows about it and is furious. He ordered the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and the Censorate to re-examine the case."
"The final approval of the review of this case was signed by my father?"
"Your Excellency is the chief judge, and the reviewer is Shangshu Sir Cen."
This was an ordinary civil criminal case. Su Yanli had just taken office, so it was reasonable for him to review such a case. It was not beyond the scope. Under normal circumstances, a case that was not complicated and did not involve wealthy and powerful people would be tried by the Dali Temple and then go to the Ministry of Justice as a matter of procedure. There was nothing wrong with Su Yanli's review and approval according to the procedure.
So what was the problem? Why did such a minor case lead to the death of a second person, a mother in her seventies.
Su Ruojin couldn't sit still any longer, "Where's Brother Jin?"
"Ah?" Shu Tong almost failed to follow the young master's train of thought, "I heard that the young prince entered the palace."
Su Ruojin met Zhao Lan the next day, "How is my father?"
Zhao Lan looked at the nervous young lady and replied, "I have read the review documents and procedures, no problem."
Su Ruojin was only concerned about, "During the retrial, will Wang San still insist that he didn't kill anyone?"
Zhao Lan nodded. "But we have all the witnesses, physical evidence, and the scene. He can't argue. He signed the pledge."
"His mother died, and he was forced to do this. Is this case..."
The Emperor already knows about it and has indeed re-examined the case.
For some reason, something flashed through Su Ruojin's mind, but it was too fast and she didn't catch it.
She didn't care about anything else but Su Yanli. "Then my father..."
"Don't worry, it's okay." Whether it is the chain of evidence or the review process, the teacher did not make any mistakes. Even if he is held accountable, he is not the first person responsible.
The young lady seemed carefree a few days ago, but suddenly she became worried.
Zhao Lan felt distressed, "Let's go, I'll take you out to relax?"
Su Ruojin's eyes lit up. Is this what she meant?
Zhao Lan: …
He didn't mean anything, he just wanted to take the young lady out for a ride, could the look in her eyes mean what he was thinking?
