Chapter IV: Case Adjudication

Hanjiang County is warm and humid Jiangnan weather, at this time it is the spring season when the flowers bloom and the warbler flies and the grass grows, the rape flowers bloom into a sea of flowers, the yellow and green are beautiful, the fishing boats pass through it, the children run in the rape field with paper kites, and the laughter echoes between the plains and lakes.

Since Wen Qiniang came here, it seems to have entered a paradise, every day is leisurely and relaxed, and her complexion is becoming more and more ruddy day by day, she has almost forgotten the days when she was busy and didn't even have time to eat, and there are not so many corpses waiting for her to dissect.

There was a sudden commotion outside the county office, and the drum of grievances was beaten.

As soon as Shilang heard that there was a lively scene, he hurriedly put down the pen in his hand and rushed out like a monkey, Wen Qiniang couldn't cry or laugh, and followed.

When Qi Niang and Shi Lang arrived, many villagers had already surrounded the county office, and they saw the two villagers scuffling together, scolding Wen Qi Niang with ancient swear words that Wen Qi Niang couldn't understand.

Zhou County Ling cleared his throat: "Shut up the official!" ”

The two of them in the tearing immediately stopped their voices, and they didn't forget to spit on each other.

"That fat man, you speak first." Zhou County ordered the Wusha hat to be straightened out.

The fat man glanced at the thin man proudly, then flattened his mouth and opened his throat and howled: "My lord, this is my big yellow dog Ah Wang, a few days ago, the villain quarreled with this pun skin, he held a grudge, so he poisoned my Ah Wang, my poor Ah Wang, you died so miserably!" ”

Shilang almost laughed out loud when he looked at the fat man's eyebrows, Wen Qiniang covered his mouth, peeking was not honest, and his father found out that he would be punished!

When the thin man heard this, he hurriedly defended: "Adult Mingjian, the villain really didn't poison his dog, he was wronged!" ”

Zhou Xianling looked at the two: "What about the dog?" ”

The fat man hurriedly went to the outside of the county office and dragged the dead dog in.

Wen Qi Niang was far away, and she didn't see it very really, she saw the dog's tongue sticking out from a distance, her face was swollen, and her long-lost professional impulse came back, although it was not a corpse, but the corpse of a dog was also a corpse, she just wanted to take a closer look, and suddenly remembered that her identity at the moment was a boudoir woman, not a forensic doctor, in ancient times, it belonged to the lowly family, and it was generally a man on duty, or it was better to settle down, in case someone saw through it, this was inexplicable in ancient times, Maybe you will be burned at the stake as a monster.

Zhou Xianling frowned and glanced at the dead dog, but he didn't want to take a second look, so he hurriedly ordered the official to come forward to check, pinching his nose and fanning it constantly.

"Tell your lordship, this dog has a nose and mouth bleed, and it should have been poisoned."

Zhou Xianling continued to ask: "You said that this dog was poisoned by him, and the official asked you if you have any physical evidence?" ”

"There are a lot of witnesses, many of the villagers present saw us quarreling, and my dog died the next day, except for him, it can't be anyone else, the adult has to be the master of the official!"

A few villagers said that they did see the two quarreling fiercely yesterday, if someone hadn't pulled away, they would have made a big move, and the most thin man threatened to ask the fat man to wait for retribution, while most of the villagers said that they heard the dog barking in the middle of the night last night.

The thin man was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a "plop" sound: "My lord Mingjian, the villain did argue with the fat man for a few words, but the villain really didn't kill his family's Ah Wang, my lord, can you kill the big yellow dog with my bones?" ”

Zhou County's order was worried, what the thin man said seemed to be reasonable, looking at the dog's figure is half a person tall, and then look at the thin man's skin and bones, who bites and kills who is not certain.

If it wasn't the thin man who killed it, it was the fat man who killed it himself and then framed the thin man?

Zhou Xianling scratched the back of his head impatiently, and patted the shocked wood: "Each of them will play thirty boards, see if you recruit or not, whoever recruits first will not have to suffer from flesh and skin." ”

Wen Qiniang almost fell out from behind the screen, this Zhou County Order is really simple and rude, isn't this a trick?

Just thinking about it, the official over there had already pressed the two of them and took off their pants and started fighting.

The two of them screamed when they were beaten.

In her professional instinct, Wen Qiniang really can't see such a scene, but how can she not reveal her identity?

"Ouch!"

Wen Shilang suddenly rolled out from behind the screen, he didn't understand why the seventh sister, who had always loved him the most, suddenly kicked his ass for something, and he rolled out so roundly, it was really a shame to throw it to his grandmother's house.

"Brother, why did you come here, come back with me." Wen Qi Niang hurriedly said, and whispered a few words into his ear while helping Wen Shilang.

Wen Shilang's witty little man immediately understood and cried to Zhou Xianling: "My lord, I've been playing with Ngawang for a long time recently, and I hope your lord will allow me to say goodbye to him." ”

Shilang looks cute, this cry is even more pitiful, Zhou Xianling didn't like children to disturb the court, but thinking that this was Wen Qiran's son, it didn't hurt to let him see it, so he waved his hand at Shilang.

Wen Shilang walked to the dog while crying, but he was not acting, he did have feelings for Ngawang.

Wen Qi Niang also followed to the dog's corpse, and when no one saw it over there, she quickly touched the dog's whole body, and found that there were multiple fractures of the jaw bone and laryngeal bone, and there were bleeding spots in both eyes. This must have been left behind when the perpetrator fought with the dog, and the perpetrator should have a wound on his body, but the question left is that such a huge dog is not easy to deal with, how did that person commit the murder?

The thin man over there took the lead, and he didn't have three taels of meat on his buttocks, and the three boards were already about to fall apart, and it wasn't worth it to put his life in for a dog.

"It's better to confess early, but I'm going to suffer from this flesh and skin, tell me how you killed this dead dog." Zhou County Ling said proudly.

Wen Qiniang glanced at the crowd of onlookers, if the murderer planted the blame, he would definitely come to see the excitement, so he quietly walked over and whispered a few words to Menzi, and stuffed a few pennies into him, and Menzi was full of joy.

The donkey's head was not right for the horse's mouth, Wen Qiniang shook her head, and whispered a few more words to Wen Shilang.

"Your Excellency, you can see that there is still blood on Ngawang's claws, which means that the person who killed him must have wounds on his body!" Wen Shilang said loudly to Zhou County.

Zhou Xianling was suspicious, and ordered someone to take off the clothes on the thin man and the fat man's upper body to check whether there were any injuries.

The thin man and the fat man were stripped of their knakedness at once, and the two of them hugged their chests with their arms shyly.

There was a commotion outside the door, and two men walked in with a roe deer-headed man, and the man kicked the man on the knee: "Kneel." ”

"My lord, as soon as I talked about the murderer just now, this person is sneaky and is about to leave, there must be something inside." That Menzi said.

"Pickpocketed."

Several officials rushed up, and the man's upper body did have a few bright red scratches.

Zhou Xianling was furious, this was clearly a slap in the face, if it weren't for Wen Shilang's ten-year-old child, he would have been teased by this person!

"Give me a fifty board first!"

When the man heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "My lord! I'll recruit them all! ”
