Chapter 102 Promotion to Criminal Officer
Lu Jinping ordered Captain Xiong to escort another doctor to a distance and ask alone, but he personally interrogated Dr. Li and then compared the confessions between the two.
Lu Jinping asked Dr. Li: "Did you throw away the female beggar who died tragically in the woods?"
"Yes... it's all the ideas of Huang Dashan. He asked us to throw it into the grave, but we were lazy halfway through and threw it into the woods."
"You tell me the details!"
"Okay, the female beggar was sent to Beitianfang by a family of three. Huang Dashanren found his nephew. His nephew knew about us because Huang Dashanren once told him to let him do it together, but he was timid and unwilling to participate. Huang Dashanren did not force him, but he still asked him to deal with anything. His medical skills were actually nothing better than ours. It was bragging about his uncle Huang Dashanren. After he came, he helped the female beggar bandage his injured leg and then went back. Huang Dashanrenren asked us two female beggars to send away. But he did not tell the person who registered in front of the yamen that she had left. In this way, we could swallow the medicine money allocated by the court to these elderly, sick or injured homeless elderly and homeless beggars."
"How did you throw that female beggar into the woods? After explaining it clearly."
"Yes, when he was about to come out, Huang Dashan said that the female beggar was only injured in her leg. Now Dr. Huang has given her bones and blood-removing medicine. As long as she doesn't bleed, her life will be fine. If this happens, it will be troublesome. Because many people in Tongzhou know that this female beggar is still young and a fool, and no one knows how she came from. Many people pity her and often give her food, so many people know her. If she or she appears on the street, maybe the people in the yamen and clinic will recognize her and know that she is still begging on the street. How could she appear in our Beitianfang to treat diseases and get medicine? Then it will be exposed. So Huang Dashan said that it is still a slump.
At the bottom, we rinsed off the hemostatic medicine and bone-grafting medicine of her wound with clean water, so that her wound would bleed and would die soon. No one knew that we did it. Originally, it was transported to the graveyard and threw it away, but after we used a carriage to transport her out of the city, we felt that the graveyard was too far away and it was rare to leave at night. Besides, if she died in the graveyard, it would cause doubt. After all, it would be too far from the city, and if there were any other people nearby, the beggar would not appear in such a place, because there was no money or rice to eat there. It would be better to throw it directly on the side of the road. It would be less likely to cause doubt if we died. So we threw him into the woods on the side of the road."
Lu Jinping understood. No wonder Doctor Huang bandaged the wound on the female beggar, but when he found the body, the wound was indeed clean, but it turned out that he was washed away by the damn doctor here with water halfway. It was really innocent and was guilty of being guilty. Who would have thought that a beggar was murdered to swallow the medicine money allocated by the court to treat these beggars? The court originally wanted to help these poor widowed elderly and beggars, but he did not expect to be harmed by such fake compassion as Huang Dashan.
Lu Jinping said: "How many beggars have you killed?"
Doctor Li shivered and said, "There are only a few who are killed directly, all of which are easily exposed. The others are sent directly outside the city, threatening them to leave Tongzhou. They will not be exposed after they leave."
"You tell me all the beggars I killed!"
Doctor Li talked about every incident of slaughtering money, and some beggars' bodies were buried in cemeteries.
After the interrogation, the two and one confession were compared, and the main plots could be consistent to prove the authenticity of the confession. With the confession of these two accomplices, the case could basically be solved, not to mention that Captain Xiong heard from the handsome man Huang Dazhi instruct them to transport the old beggar he played outside the city to deal with it.
At that moment, the crowd escorted the two doctors back to Tongzhou.
They came straight to Beitianfang and woke up the registered clinic clerk at the door. Captain Xiong personally took someone to catch Huang Dashanren who lived behind Beitianfang from his warm bed.
When Huang Dashanren saw the head captain "old beggar" who had not had time to change his clothes, he was shocked and didn't know what was going on.
When Lu Jinping showed the testimony of two accomplices, Huang Dashanren completely collapsed and confessed his entire crime. It was exactly consistent with what the two doctors said, and the whole case was solved.
At this moment, the sky was covered with white fish belly.
More than ten days later.
The emperor issued an imperial edict to promote Lu Jinping to the judicial system of Tongzhou Prefecture and was in charge of criminal prisons.
Officials above the seventh rank of the Tang Dynasty must be appointed by the emperor personally. Because the number of officials below the eighth rank is too large, the Ministry of Personnel was directly appointed by the emperor. Tongzhou's former official Luo Juju is transferred to the Ministry of Revenue in Beijing and was also promoted. It is also very happy that he can be promoted.
Lu Jinping was able to directly upgrade from a medical doctor below the ninth rank to a judicial judicial system from a seventh rank. This span is really stuttering. Everyone in the yamen came to congratulate him, thinking that this was a commendation for Lu Jinping to continuously solve strange cases. Only Lu Jinping himself knew that if he could be promoted by just being good at solving cases, it would be like this for low-level officials. However, for intermediate and above leading cadres, their professional ability has been reduced to the second, and the key is the unspoken rules of the officialdom.
Lu Jinping found this unspoken rule and used the speech-readable doctor Zhang Yudai to exchange it with a very valuable prescription for making aconitum. Only then did he get this official hat so quickly.
No one knew about this except him and Zhang Yuyi. Outsiders also thought that he had been promoted by accumulating merits.
When the former Minister of Personnel, Mr. Gao, who had originally recommended him as an official, learned about this, he couldn't stop talking for a long time. However, he has been paying attention to Lu Jinping's movements these days and knew that he had solved several major cases in succession. A few days ago, Imperial Doctor Zhang asked him to discuss the matter of jointly recommending Lu Jinping as a criminal officer in Tongzhou, saying that General Li also agreed to the joint sponsor because Lu Jinping solved the robbery of his grandmother's grave. He was very grateful and admired Lu Jinping's ability to solve the problem. Mr. Gao was unwilling to recommend Lu Jinping as a criminal officer in the past, but during this period, Lu Jinping proved with facts that he could be competent for the position of criminal officer. Mr. Gao agreed happily.
Of course, Mr. Gao was also a little confused. Why did this imperial physician Zhang work so hard to support Lu Jinping? However, he has been in the officialdom for many years and has served as the main leader of the organization and personnel work of the Tang Dynasty for a long time. Of course, he knows many of the unspoken rules of these things. Don’t ask or inquire about them. It’s the rarest to be confused, so despite having doubts, he doesn’t ask.
The people who came to congratulate Lu Jinping also had Doctor Huang.
After Huang Dashanren and Li Langzhong were imprisoned, the Imperial Doctor Zhang had warned Zhang Dalang not to cause trouble again, and everything was followed by the disposal of Mr. Lu.
Lu Jinping did not reveal the secret of the prescription, but said vaguely that the prescription was too domineering and that if you were not careful, it would be dangerous. Doctor Huang did not intentionally or negligently. However, an uncontrollable accident led to the poisoning death of Mr. Zhang who was taking the drug. The main reason was that the prescription itself was too dangerous, not the doctor's own responsibility. Therefore, the sentence was ordered to invest in the burial of Mr. Zhang and pay 5,000 yuan to settle the matter as appropriate. At the same time, the case was issued to the local clinics in the name of the yamen and clinics, and the prescription should be very cautious. Generally, do not use such a large dose of aconite to prevent poisoning.
The Zhang Dalang brothers have received a severe warning from uncle Zhang Yuyi that they are not allowed to cause trouble and must obey the referee of the Lord. What's more, Lu Jinping's final judgment is acceptable, so this matter was given up.
Although Dr. Huang spent a lot of money, it was much less than the huge number of 100,000 yuan. In addition, the fact that he had always been most worried about being considered by the yamen to be "not as good as our own party" or even "because it is not as good as our own party", that would be miserable. The mild case was imprisoned for two and a half years, and the severe case was executed by intentional murder. Lu Jinping's final ruling was confirmed as an accident, which made him so excited that he burst into tears. However, he did not know that this matter was indeed an accident. The reason why Lu Jinping said that was just to use this incident to threaten him to tell the secret of the grief of Tianfang that he knew. Sure enough, he solved the crime of Huang Dashan's murder of money from his mouth.
The Tubo envoy Yunzi and his master Nano Bonqiong were also present at the celebration. Yunzi was the most surprised, saying that in Tubo, it was basically impossible to advance from an official below the ninth rank to an official from a seventh rank, unless it was a royal family. Lu Jinping had to say half-jokingly that in the Tang Dynasty, everything was possible.
Indeed, the imperial physician around the emperor, plus the former Minister of Personnel and the General of the Imperial Guard around the serving emperor, jointly recommended that Zhang Yuyi use the red pills made by Lu Jinping to cure the stubborn disease of Empress Wei, who holds real power. Empress Wei was "very happy" for this and was grateful to Dr. Zhang, and gave him a face. Lu Jinping did show his outstanding talent in reconnaissance and was competent for this position. Therefore, Empress Wei directly issued an order to promote Lu Jinping's official position in the name of the emperor.
A few days later, Doctor Zhang personally visited Lu Jinping, asking for the reward of the preparation method.
Of course, the imperial physician Zhang had to show his merits first. He said that the difficulties of promoting Lu Jinping were nothing more than letting Lu Jinping know that it was worth using his aconite method to exchange it. Of course, the language could not help but conceal the benefits he got from it, that is, after Queen Wei's illness was cured, he was very happy and had promoted him to be the head of the imperial physician and accompany him. Unlimited glory.
Lu Jinping thought to himself that Queen Wei would be in trouble in less than two years and would be killed by Li Longji. I was afraid that this imperial doctor would be affected by that time, so I was willing to give him some advice. But seeing his proud look, if he couldn't explain clearly, it would attract suspicion and was very bad for him. Secondly, he might not believe it in such a proud manner, and he thought he was jealous of him, so he gave up this idea.
