Chapter 147: Reversal of the case
The magistrate of Deshan County is surnamed Ding, who is in his thirties and was born as a Jinshi. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info has served for two years, and he is still honest and promising, and has done some practical things, and his reputation is good in the local area. The other day he was passing outside the city, and happened to see a woman weeping in front of a lonely grave on the hillside.
A gust of wind blew the woman's filial piety skirt, revealing the bright and dazzling skirt inside. Ding Zhixian was suspicious, so he took the woman back to the yamen for investigation and interrogation. The woman said that her husband had been sick and dead for exactly seven days, and that she had made an offering at the grave.
Ding Zhixian also sent the neighbors to ask questions, and also said that he died of illness. It's just that Ding Zhixian did not release the woman, and sent his subordinates to arrest them quickly and strictly investigate. In his common sense, the filial piety of the first seven could not wear such a bright color.
This woman is suspicious!
The woman's husband's house was empty, and the neighbor Li helped to come out and complained to the government office, accusing Ding Zhi County of abusing his power and detaining the woman for no reason.
The government issued a document to limit Ding Zhixian to find out the truth when it expires. If the circumstances of the crime cannot be found within one month, the punishment will be 'guilty of the crime'. That is, the crime imposed on him by the anti-sitting was reduced to dismissal and dismissal.
Ji Qianxia frowned when he saw this.
It is good for this Ding Zhixian to be vigilant and not let go of any suspicious points. But is it too arbitrary to suspect just because a filial woman wears bright colors?
Luo Rin is supernatural, and the cause of the woman's husband's death is also attached. According to the confession of the neighbor who helped collect the funeral at the time, there was no bleeding from the seven orifices and no signs of poisoning. Although his face was terrifying, he was already skinny and skeletal because he was lying in bed for a long time.
In short, in a word, the deceased appeared to have died of illness on the surface. There are no obvious signs of homicide.
"This, how can this case be overturned?" After Ji Qianxia finished reading it, he pulled his hair.
The deceased was not poisoned or injured, but he was sick for a long time and died, and then his wife dressed her in the grave a little brightly. Isn't Ding Zhixian a little idle?
As far as Ji Qianxia knows, whether it is ancient or modern, as long as there are traces of poisoning, there must be a reaction on the corpse. Even if it has been buried, it is difficult to open the coffin, but didn't the neighbor who helped at that time already testify?
If Ding Zhixian insisted on instinctive suspicion that the deceased had died of murder, the only thing he could do now was to re-investigate whether the testimony of his neighbors at the time was reliable. In addition, if the neighbor gives false testimony, then it is even more possible to find out the motive by the way.
"Well, that's all there is to it." Ji Qianxia yawned and made up her mind.
Yi Sakura and Ou Banana came over to clear the field and urged her to rest.
The next day, it rained lightly.
Summer is approaching, and the Miss Jifu will have a holiday after their last class today.
When he came to Xifu School, Mr. Rong attended classes as always. Anyway, when the female student is on vacation, the young master in the house still has to study and do his homework, and he will not be unemployed.
Several young ladies in Ji Mansion all had their own thoughts, and they were quite harmonious at first.
Ji Anlei has a lot of worries, about the marriage is about to be decided, she doesn't know who the other party is, and she has some gains and losses.
Ji Rurong also had the same heart. She was even more worried. Because she is a concubine, her range of choices is more limited, and she can't look down on her family. It's bad, Ji Zhijun can't look down on it. It's good that there is only one such a concubine under her knees, and she has to be carefully selected.
Ji Junman was also stunned, I don't know if it was because of the summer stuffiness or something else, she couldn't lift her spirits, but Ji Yincao was joking with her, and there was no smile on her face.
Only Yingfu and Ji Qianxia are the most casual.
"Shhhh Ji Qianxia took advantage of the rest time to make a strange sound towards Ji An.
Ji Anjie glared, looked left and right, walked over and asked in a low voice, "Fourth sister, what's wrong?" ”
"Send a letter."
"Send another letter?" Ji Anjie screamed in a low voice: "What do you have to do with her?" ”
"Leave it alone. Anyway, it's a very important thing. Fifth brother, can you help? ”
Ji Anjie groaned.
"Fifth brother, you won't hate me because of Aunt Chen's affairs, right?" Asa Xia's eyes rolled.
Ji Anjie was shocked and hurriedly shook his head: "No, no." You almost had an accident, how could I hate you? Then he whispered: "My aunt told me, if you weren't afraid, the consequences would be worse." ”
"That's right, that's right."
"My aunt is actually very upset. If you don't light that pillar of incense, maybe ......"
Ji Qianxia hurriedly intercepted: "Fifth brother, you can't say that." Even if I didn't have that pillar of incense, my aunt's carriage and I would still be attacked. This has nothing to do with my aunt. ”
Ji Anjie was very relieved to hear her so reasonable: "Well, I also persuaded my aunt like this." ”
"Okay, so, can you help me deliver the message?" Asa Natsu turned the topic back to the topic.
"Okay. Only this once. Ji An's admonition was solemn: "Fourth sister, although the third lady has the means to the sky, but you are a young lady who has not left the boudoir, she is a woman in the market, it is better to have less contacts." ”
"Thank you, Fifth Brother. I made a note of it. Ji Qianxia didn't disagree with him, and obediently agreed.
Ji Anjie is a sleek guy who knows this sister, and he has his own opinions. It's impossible to really listen to him.
"What letter do you want to send?"
"It's nothing, it's just a re-appointment with the third lady. I'm going to ask her to do something. ”
Ji Anjie's eyes widened: "You entrusted her with something?" ”
"What's wrong?"
Ji Anjie didn't know that Wei Sanniang's true identity was the shopkeeper of the Silk Pavilion, and he always thought that he was called Hu Niangzi?
"What's the matter, you hand it over to me, and I'll do it for you." Ji Anjie finally looks like a brother.
Ji Qianxia was speechless.
As for a useless scholar like Ji Anjie, it's no wonder that he can do it well.
"Fifth brother, the most important thing for you at the moment is to do your homework well and welcome next year's big competition. It's best to take the top exam and come back to our mansion to glorify our ancestors. My affairs are very trivial, and it is inconvenient to disturb the tranquility of the fifth brother. ”
Ji Anjie frowned: "What kind of trivial matter is it, you can talk about it first." Maybe I can do it easily? ”
"No, I still won't trouble the fifth brother. If I let my father and Mr. Rong know that I disturbed the peace of my fifth brother with trivial things, I would be scolded. ”
Moving out of Baoguo Gong and Mr. Rong, Ji Anjie was speechless.
"Okay, I'll let the little guy bring the words."
Ji Qianxia was shocked: "It turns out that the fifth brother doesn't know how to contact the third lady?" ”
"Hey, hey. They have always been the ones who have contacted me. Ji Anjie rubbed his hands uneasily.
"Then how do you go to find them?"
Ji Anjie grinned: "As long as the little guy waits in the bookstore two blocks away, someone will come forward to talk to him." Nine times out of ten, it's the people on the third lady's side. ”
"I see." Ji Qianxia thought to himself: So, there are Wei Sanniang's people near the bookstore? That bookstore wouldn't have a problem, would it?
After the discussion was settled, Ji Qianxia turned back to talk to Ji Anrui.
In the afternoon, there began to be cheering screams, and the water on the ground was steaming. The light rain in the morning had already evaporated.
Inside the Cun'an Pavilion.
Mrs. Di looked at the news from her mother's family, with mixed joy. (To be continued.) )
