In the streets and alleys of Jinling City, a wave of public opinion is brewing, gradually erupting like adding fuel to the flames.

A young man in a t-shirt pretended to be mysterious and said, "Have you heard that Miss Peng Qingqing, the daughter of Peng Mansion Yin, acted bravely in the street and beat up the bad boy of the Cha family, which led to a lawsuit."

"It is said that the evil young man of the Cha family was beaten to death by Miss Peng?" Someone asked curiously.

"No, I heard that the evil young man was born with a hidden disease and was already in poor health. In the past few years, he had been drained by drinking and sex. He did many evil things and received a few punches. He died of illness when he returned home."

"So, he wasn't beaten to death by Miss Peng?"

The scholar in Yishan said: "Miss Peng did not act harshly and left a lot of room. It was the young master of the Cha family who was so incompetent that he lost his life."

This public opinion also began to spread in restaurants, tea shops, East and West grass markets, brothels, and prosperous areas on both sides of the Qinhuai River, and more people joined the ranks to denounce the Cha family.

After all, it was heard that the young master of the Cha family, Cha Yuanshang, was usually full of evil. Now that he died, many people felt happy to relieve their hatred, but they felt wronged that Miss Peng was imprisoned.

"Miss Peng should not be arrested. She is doing harm to the people!"

"The evil young man in the Cha family deserves his punishment, and he deserves to die. Miss Peng should be released."

"We want to avenge Miss Peng and convey public opinion!"

A drinker muttered loudly: "I heard that some scholars from Taiyuan University, Liu Dong, Jiang Tao, and Xia Baosong, have also been summoned to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. They will be tried tomorrow. As important witnesses, the current students of Taiyuan University,

We are mobilizing to release Liu Jiangxia and the others to support Miss Peng."

When Cha's family passed by and heard such words, they got angry and cursed, but there were too many people talking behind their backs and they were unable to stop them.

After Wei Cen, Chen Jue, Feng Yanlu and other big bosses of the Song Party heard this public opinion, they sneered again and again, feeling that this kind of trick alone would not be able to influence the situation, and the Ministry of Punishment would not be able to control the situation because of such rumors.

And those who let people go will ultimately be in vain.

"The rumors should have been spread by Sun Dang and Jiangning Mansion. Are Su Chen and Sun Dang at their wits' end this time?"

"Detaining Peng Qingqing is a slap in the face of Sun Dang. Su Chen will also resent the officials and Sun Dang because of this, creating an irreparable gap!"

"Su Chen's life will not be much better in the future!"

Most of the Sun Party officials took pleasure in others' misfortune.

The Supervisory Censor of the Yushitai Chaoyuan has six censors, who are responsible for investigating officials from the Shangshu Province and the Six Ministries. All officials in the capital are subject to their supervision. Some of these people have already started writing memorials at home, demanding strict investigation of the matter.

Just because Peng Qingqing is the governor of Jiangning, we can't condone it, or even impeach Peng Zeliang's goddaughter and remove him from the position of governor.

However, there are also some officials who are racking their brains to write notes at home in order to keep Peng Zeliang's position and at the same time avenge Peng Qingqing. They feel that Mr. Cha is too bastard and bullies the students of Taiyuan College. He has been doing many evil things. Peng Qingqing took action in a righteous manner.

However, we should comply with public opinion and should not impose heavy sentences.

In short, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind is not stopping, a court turmoil is stirring up, and more and more officials are involved.

At the court meeting the next day, the attack was launched by You Jianyan, the minister of the Ministry of Rites. He was originally from the Song Dynasty and was also the minister of the Ministry of Rites. From the perspective of the etiquette of the country, he directly touched the mention of "if a girl fails to teach, it is the fault of her father".

Peng Qingqing's case suddenly became a forum for debate in the court. You sang and I came on stage. Officials from the three parties expressed their opinions on Peng Qingqing's case.

Li Yu reached out and patted the dragon chair and shouted: "That's enough. I know more about this matter than you hear from hearsay. Don't try to make assumptions. Exaggerate here and take the wrong direction. I have decided to let Dali Temple.

The Ministry of Punishment, Yushitaiyuan, and the three divisions will review the case. The person who examines the case must be from the third rank or above, such as

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the Minister of Justice, the Censor Zhongcheng or the Censor of Taiyuan were responsible for hearing the case. In addition, Li Congqian, the Prince of Ji, Han Xizai, the Minister of the Ministry of Official Affairs, and You Jianyan, the Minister of Rites, attended the case. Su Chen and the imperial physician

Participate together and be responsible for examining Yuanshang's body, finding out the exact cause of death, and using evidence to uncover the truth."

After hearing this, some officials were stunned. Is it necessary to go to war in such a big way?

Besides, Su Chen is also involved, what is going on?

You Jianyan cupped his hands and said: "To tell the official story, Su Chen has no fame or position yet. He participated in the joint trial of the three divisions, which is inconsistent with etiquette. I hope the official family will think again!"

Zhong Mo, who was also the minister of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said: "This is wrong. Su Chen is known as the most talented man in Jiangzuo. He also learned ancestral medicine and cured smallpox. Even without fame and fortune, he became the prince and queen.

As the chief physician, he has this ability, so it is natural for him to participate in the case."

Wei Cen, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, raised his hands and said: "In the official family, Su Chen can be used to treat illnesses and save people, but Su Chen may not be useful in investigating cases. What's more, the perpetrator, Peng Qingqing, is Su Chen's fiancée. According to the law, relatives and friends related to the case are not allowed to use Su Chen."

My friends, you should avoid the case and not personally participate in the trial, lest you interfere too much and use your power for personal gain."

"That's right, this law cannot be violated. Su Chen should avoid suspicion!" A censor stood up and made comments.

The Yushitai is divided into three parts: the Procuratorate, the Taiyuan, and the Imperial Court. The officials inside are responsible for picketing different objects. For example, some officials in the Procuratorate have affairs with Beijing officials, and the Imperial Court bothers officials who have behaved inappropriately in the palace. The Imperial Examiner of the Taiyuan

, responsible for the duty of inspecting hundreds of officials and hearing prison cases, is one of the three divisions that will try the case this time.

Li Yu shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter! Su Chen is just examining the corpse with the imperial doctors, not asking him to try the case. There is an essential difference. I have received news that the youngest son of the Cha family, Cha Yuanshang, is full of evil in the city. He bullies him on weekdays.

Men dominate women and often do bad things. Public opinion in the city is complaining.

Support Peng Qingqing, sing praises and pray for her, this is the public opinion! There are also rumors that Zha Yuanshang did not die from Peng Qingqing's fists, but had other hidden reasons. Therefore, the truth about this matter is not yet clear, and it cannot be directly disclosed for the time being.

They identified Peng Qingqing as the murderer and ignored many details of the case."

After hearing these words, all the civil and military officials in the court felt that this official was favoring Su Chen, speaking out for Peng Qingqing, and raising public opinion.

Minister Han stood up and said: "I have no objections and am willing to participate in the trial of the case and supervise the judgment of the three divisions."

As soon as he finished speaking, many officials twitched their lips. The official announced that they would let you listen in. When he said it, he would really give himself a premium and become a supervisor of the third division to judge the case. It sounded like he was controlling the third division.

.

King Ji stood up and said, "My brother has no objection. I will personally attend the trial."

"I obey the sacred sayings of the official family." Although You Jianyan is old, he still knows how to please the emperor, and the address he uses in his words shows his duty as a monarch and his minister.
