In the fifty years of Qianlong (1785), the "Haisheng Wife Murder Case" that occurred in Huangchenggen was a sensation, not because the case was complicated and bloody, but because the game of various forces behind it caused Qianlong to be alert.
For this reason, Qianlong sent Ji Xiaolan, the then Imperial History Inspector, to personally investigate, and with the investigation of the case, Ji Xiaolan found that Qianlong's red people and Yan were also mixed in. What was originally an ordinary "wife killing case" suddenly became the focus of attention inside and outside the imperial court.
First, introduce the reason and process of Haisheng's killing of his wife.
The case occurred in the fiftieth year of Qianlong, that is, on a certain day in 1785 AD, Haisheng was a flag man, a military general, and an official worship department attendant (from Wupin, equivalent to a staff officer of the garrison).
He has a wife and a concubine in his family, and Haisheng usually likes concubines, and scolds the original Wu Yashi, and the relationship between husband and wife is tense.
On this day, Haisheng flirted with the concubine in front of the original match, and the wife was very angry, so she scolded Haisheng. Hai Sheng couldn't hang his face in front of the concubine, and went up and pinched the neck of the original Wu family.
Originally, Haisheng did not intend to kill his wife, but just wanted to teach her a lesson, who knew that the shot was a little heavy, the pinch time was a little long, and his wife Wu Shi was actually strangled by her, which is now a passionate killing.
In ancient times, women's status was not high, and when they died, they died, and Haisheng took care of burying his wife.
At this time, Wu's dowry ran to her mother's house to report the letter, and she told Wu's brother Guining about the process of seeing Haisheng strangling Miss 1510, and Guining was shocked and immediately went to find Haisheng theory
Guining sees Haisheng and asks him why he strangled his sister? Hai Sheng pretended to be stupid and said, "Your sister has a violent illness and died, who do you listen to chewing his tongue and saying that I strangled your sister?" ”
Gui Ning saw that Haisheng did not admit that he did not want to involve Ya Gui, so he said angrily, "You wait, I will go to the yamen to sue you, I will not believe that there is no royal law in the Great Qing."
Hai Sheng calmly replied, "Listen to your honor, you walk slowly, don't send it." Guining said as he walked, "I am not allowed to bury my sister until I find out the truth!" ”
This is the reason and process of Haisheng's killing of his wife.
Guining beat the drum and complained to Yamen, Haisheng had already ordered all the officials of Yamen, and after an autopsy, the autopsy report issued was a normal death. Gui Ning thought that if the officials were protecting each other, I would go into the palace to file a complaint.
So this ordinary case alarmed Qianlong, who ordered the then inspector Yushi Ji Xiaolan to lead the team to re-examine.
This case alarmed Qianlong, but also alarmed two powerful ministers in the palace, one was the then Minister of Internal Affairs and The First Minister of Military Aircraft, Ah Gui, the Chief Minister of Military Aircraft.
It turned out that the 35-year-old He Yan was favored by Qianlong, and He Yan belonged to the first figure of the civilian official clique, Qianlong relied heavily on him, coupled with his good at observing and observing the color and sneaking horses, so his career was smooth.
At that time, the 63-year-old chief military aircraft minister Ah Gui became a "minister" by military merit, and belonged to the leading figure of the military general group.
Speaking of the truth, Ah Gui can be below one person, and it is really expected that ten thousand people will be above. However, He yan and Ah Gui look at each other, and He Yan is jealous and hateful of Ah Gui, Ah Gui looks down on Ah Gui and sneaks a horse, and He Yan always wants to take Ah Gui's place, so he deliberately wants to rectify Ah Gui.
Finally, Ah Gui was caught by He yan, it turned out that Ah Gui's son Attis was known to He Yan for corruption, and He Yan secretly reported to Qianlong, qianlong was angry and beheaded Ah Gui's son, Ah Gui was warned, and He Yan was rewarded for this.
He Yan started off smoothly, and then he went on a killing spree, knocking down as much as half of Ah Gui's original old subordinates, and He Yan called his method "to remove its branches and weaken its trunk".
Ah Gui has been in the battlefield for a long time, how can he sit still.
Once, in order to promote Hezhen, Qianlong wanted him to go down to the army to gild, and ordered him and Ah Gui to go together to suppress the Hui uprising. Arriving in Gansu, Ah Gui decided to lead the team to attack the rebel army with He yan, but the troops led by He Yan failed to meet on time and failed to attack.
Ah Gui scolded and asked Why he had not arrived in time, and He Yan said that "the generals do not listen to the dispatches." Ah Gui said that it was impossible, and then Ah Gui issued an order to assemble, and the soldiers quickly assembled.
I don't need to say more about this matter, usually He yan offended the military generals bitterly, and now they don't cooperate with He Yan, the purpose is to embarrass him, and at that time, He Yan was ashamed and angry.
Afterwards, Ah Gui reported the situation to Qianlong, and Qianlong hurriedly transferred He yan back to the palace, and from then on, He Yan hated Ah Gui to the bone.
Talking about so many grudges between Hezhen and Ah Gui, the main thing is to let the relatives understand the purpose of Hezhen and Ah Gui's attention to the "Haisheng wife murder case".
He Yan knows that Hai Sheng is Ah Gui's close confidant, and the two are still in-laws, and He Yan uses Hai Sheng's wife killing case to attack Ah Gui.
At this time, Ah Gui, out of his trust in Haisheng, tried his best to excuse Haisheng.
Inspector Ji Xiaolan was also a close confidant of Ah Gui, and Ah Gui's father, Aktun, was Ji Xiaolan's township test master, which means that Ji Xiaolan was taken care of by Aktun when he was examining people.
Based on this, the re-examination team led by Ji Xiaolan obeyed Ah Gui's will and still issued a report on the normal death of Haisheng's wife.
At this time, He yan was not willing to fail, and encouraged Guining to submit an inquest to the body again.
Qianlong sent someone to interrogate Haisheng for the third time, and finally Haisheng could not resist the pressure and confessed to the fact that he strangled his wife.
Qianlong's anger and surprise reached the extreme, and he thought that at the feet of the Imperial City Gen Tianzi, he was all pulling together gangs and sending officials and officials to protect each other, and if there was any reason for this, he must be severely punished.
