When Shuai Hui went down, Wu Wei asked softly: "My lord feels strange."
"Of course there is something wrong. otbnkotgt "yes."
Wu Weishen thought so: "But if she does this, adults can't help but accept it."
"I believe that if someone really makes trouble, it will definitely spread the word about it.
If you turn a blind eye to the shouting of grievances in front of the door, you will no longer be able to pull the banner as a tiger skin."
"Take a look," Wang Xian rubbed his eyes and soothed the dry eyes that had not slept all night, and said: "The most nonsense part of this matter is that the official just shouted in the yamen that he wanted to settle the wrongs, and there were people outside who shouted grievances, which is too coincidental."
Someone must be playing tricks behind my back and trying to show me some color. ” Wu Wei nodded and said, "Accept it first, if it's not easy to break, just drag it out." ” "Hmm."
Wang Xian nodded, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
After the tea, Shuai Hui went and returned, holding a piece of paper in his hand and presenting it to Wang Xian, it seems that people are really prepared.
Wang Xian took it and read it for a while, his face became more and more ugly, and the next moment he handed it to Wu Wei, Wu Wei took it and looked at it a few times, and said in a lost voice: "I have heard of this case, the year before last there was a lot of uproar, at that time, the Criminal Department and Jinyiwei were good at the lawsuit, and in the end, Jinyiwei won the victory."
Wang Xian nodded, he was in Beijing two years ago, although he was focused on the formation and training of the young army, but he still heard of this sensational case in the capital.
At that time, it seemed that even the emperor was alarmed, and in the end, the common people said that they had wronged good officials, but there were many people who were wronged, and he was not in the mood to pay attention.
At that time, he never imagined that only two years later, this case would fall on his head.
This case was initially small and not complicated, and it had nothing to do with the Beizhen Fusi and the Criminal Department.
According to Liu's report, at dawn in June two years ago, the local security guard of Qinghefang, a corner of the southeast corner of the capital, hurried to the Jiangning County Ya and reported to the county lord that a murder had occurred in the waterwheel lane.
Jiangning County is Jing County, which governs the southeast of the capital.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the upper peak is like a forest, and there is a murder in the jurisdiction, and the Jiangning County Commander naturally does not dare to slack off, so he immediately led the fast squad to rush to the scene of the murder, and sure enough, he saw a female corpse lying in the alley.
The Jiangning County Commander immediately ordered a post-mortem examination, and found that the female corpse was about 45 years old, with gray and unkempt hair, and had been stabbed three times in the chest and ribs.
Looking around again, I found another basket three steps away, and there was a line of bloody footprints on the ground.
After asking the ground guard, the ground guard said that he only glanced at it from a distance at that time and did not dare to approach, so the footprints were not his.
Quickly turning over the wicker basket, he found a sharp sickle and a rope, and finally concluded that the deceased must have been killed in the middle of the night.
At this time, people generally don't go out, even if they have something to do, they will not be too far from home, so the deceased should live nearby.
The trappers followed the trail around the corner and found a bloodstained shoe, but the trails behind them became fainter and fainter until they could see nothing, and the trappers had to return in vain.
However, there was another discovery at the scene of the murder, first of all, the body was turned over, and the ground guard recognized it at a glance, she was Zhang Ma's who lived in the innermost part of the alley.
And the Jiangning County Commander was also on the sickle in the basket, and saw the three crooked words of Qi Dazhu, and asked everyone to catch quickly.
Someone actually knew that this person was the most popular one for selling cold drinks on Yaqian Street, and that was the name.
Jiangning Zhixian immediately ordered him to take someone to Qi Dazhu's house to check.
Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and immediately passed through a few alleys, and came to Qi Dazhu's house, which was nearly two miles away, and saw that the door was bolted from the inside, and quickly knocked on the door, but no one answered inside.
He kicked in the door and saw an old woman holding a bloodstained men's shoe in her hand, walking towards the chicken coop with a hasty face.
A few catchers rushed up fiercely, snatched the bloody shoes from the old woman's hand, and glanced at them, which happened to be the same pair as the one picked up near the crime scene, and the catcher sneered and said: "You old thing, you dare to destroy the evidence."
"No, no" the old woman was busy arguing, but she was so anxious that she couldn't speak, at this time she rushed into the house to catch fast, and did not find Qi Dazhu, but saw a body of clothes soaked in the wooden basin, the water was dyed red, and there was obviously a bloody cloth in it, and he hurriedly fished out the clothes from the basin, grabbed the old woman and said: "Tell me, where is your son?"
"He, he went out early in the morning," said the old woman, Zhang Huang.
"Escape," the catchers said angrily, "Then you can come with me," and without saying anything, they shook off the chains with a loud noise, put them around the old woman's neck, and dragged her out of the hospital.
Poor old woman, a thin old man, how could she bear such a toss, and fainted immediately.
When the catchers saw that she had fainted, they threw the old woman on her horse and rode away At that time, the name of Jiangning Zhixian was Yang Xin'an, and he was only in his thirties and was a two-rank jinshi, who had just released the capital from the Hanlin Academy, and the official level of the county was higher than that of the locality.
The local prefects are all four products, but Ying Tianfu Yin is three products.
Not only is the level high, but also close to the water, as long as the performance is excellent, the possibility of becoming a minister of the Son of Heaven is very great.
It was because Yang Zhixian worked hard to handle this case well, and he examined the physical evidence of the murder, bamboo baskets, sickles, ropes, as well as bloody clothes and bloody shoes found from Qi Dazhu's home, and basically determined that Qi Dazhu was the murderer.
The only problem is that the prisoner is on the run, and there is no way to open a court without the murderer.
But soon the troubles disappeared, and at noon, a man came to the county government to surrender, claiming to be Qi Dazhu, and asked to exchange himself for his wife.
Yang Zhixian is a famous minister of the Qing Dynasty, so he naturally has to consider the wind evaluation, so he released Qi Dazhu's wife on the grounds that the stubborn man still has filial piety.
At the same time, the court immediately opened to ask the case, Yang Zhixian thought that the murderer had surrendered, and the rest of the matter was a matter of course.
Which Cheng thought that Qi Dazhu actually denied that he had killed someone Yang Zhixian stared at Qi Dazhu with calm eyes, and sneered: "Then why did you appear in the waterwheel lane two miles away from home, maybe you have night travel syndrome?"
"The villain does not have nocturnal syndrome, and the villain goes to the lake to collect fresh water."
Qi Dazhu said with a look of grievance, "The villain sells cold drinks for a living.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
When making cold drinks, you must get up in the early morning, take advantage of the dew to moisten the lotus leaves, pick up these fresh waters, transport them home and peel them clean, and marinate them with sugar before dawn, so that the cold drinks made have the fragrance of fresh water and can be sold well.
Therefore, every day on the third watch, the villain rushed to the river on the side of the waterwheel lane with a basket on his back to get fresh water. ” Hearing this, the old catchers nodded secretly, and they all felt that the possibility of Qi Dazhu killing people was very small.
But Yang Zhixian didn't see it that way, he continued to ask: "Then why are you covered in blood?"
"That's because," Qi Dazhu still said timidly when he mentioned it, "The villain tripped over something when he passed by the waterwheel alley in the early morning.
When I touched it with my hand, I realized that it was a corpse.
Frightened, the villain ran home, only to find that his shoes had fallen off, and he didn't take the basket, and he was covered with blood."
"Since you didn't kill the person, what are you running away from when you go home" Yang Zhixian sneered in his heart, make it up, you just continue to make it up "I didn't run, I went home for a while, I wanted to go to Watermill Lane at dawn to get the basket, that's the guy who eats the villain."
Qi Dazhu hurriedly defended: "Who knew that when I arrived nearby, I saw the official messenger looking around my shoe, and said that it was left by the murderer, but it frightened me."
The villain didn't dare to show up to explain, so he wanted to escape, who would like to hear that my mother was arrested by the government.
Said with a guilty face: "My mother is old and in poor health, how can I bear this toss, I will quickly come to surrender, you quickly let my mother out" "Your mother has been released, and the official is benevolent and righteous, but you still refuse to tell the truth."
Yang Zhixian said coldly: "Put away your luck, now it is ironclad evidence, if you don't admit it, I can also condemn you."
Qi Dazhu did not admit it, Yang Zhixian ordered him to be punished, although the county government did not have as many flowers as Beizhen Fusi, but under the three woods, there was no one who could stand it, Qi Dazhu couldn't survive the punishment, so he reluctantly confessed in a semi-coma.
Immediately, he was held with his hand and his handprint pressed, and he was smashed into flail and shackles on the spot, and sent to prison.
Murder pays for life, it is justified, Yang Zhixian set the death penalty for Qi Dazhu, but the death penalty must be reviewed by the Criminal Department before counting.
However, this kind of small case is generally a formality, and the officials of the criminal department have read the documents, and they will pass it with a seal, and then put the prisoner on death row and wait for the autumn decision.
However, Yan Qing Langzhong, who was in charge of the review, was a very serious person, and after reading the relevant files, he deeply felt that the original judgment was too rash.
At least on paper, he could see three negligences on the part of the presiding judge.
First, the murder weapon in the case file was a sickle, and the three injuries on the deceased's body were stabbing.
With a sickle, you can only cut, not stab.
Second, if Qi Dazhu really killed someone, how could he throw his basket and the sickle engraved with his name on the scene There is another point that is hidden deeply, judging from Yan Langzhong's many years of experience in criminal investigation, if the murderer escapes immediately after killing, the soles of his feet will not be stained with blood, and at most some will be splashed on the surface of his feet.
It is impossible for the murderer to wait until the dead are bleeding all over the ground before stepping on a few feet.
The above three points made Yan Langzhong deeply dissatisfied with the verdict of this case and reported it as a doubtful case
