Chapter 33: Ask the Old Woman

"Ah, my lord is wise, how can we be afraid of this little Song Ci? Hehe, even if he finds some loopholes, it won't help!"

Back in the house, Song Ci and the others immediately began to check the case file, and I have to say that Hou Tianhua did not leak, or there were no other loopholes in this matter, the only thing wrong was that the deceased was all alone.

Based on this alone, I am afraid that it is not possible to prove that there is a problem with the case, and it is impossible to say it in the criminal department.

Everyone has stayed up for a long time, but they have never found a flaw, or maybe no one has cried out for injustice, and it is difficult to find clues in these cases.

"My lord, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to find evidence on this, this is almost an iron case, and there is no evidence to bring down Hou Tianhua, how difficult it is.

"Yes, especially in this case file, if there is a loophole, it is impossible for the criminal department to pass it, I think we can start from another side."

Song Ci also had this intention, wrote down the address of the murderer on the case file, and then said: "Since you and Song have the same opinion, then we might as well go out and visit, no matter how many people Hou Tianhua employs, there are tens of thousands of people in the county, I don't believe everyone has to speak for him."

With that, they walked out of the door, walked out of the yamen, and walked down the street, and soon someone came and said: "Lord Tira, our Houzhi County is a parent official, you must not transfer him away, otherwise the 50,000 people in our county will hate you very much!"

"Hou Zhixian is only for the people all his life, he is a Qingtian lord, comparable to Lord Bao Qingtian, you are not allowed to look for him, otherwise tens of thousands of people will not let you leave this county alive.

Song Ci kept telling them and explaining that these people just didn't believe it, and they didn't want to believe that Hou Tianhua was a corrupt official.

Finally left, a few people continued to walk on the street, Qin Xiaoyue said: "My lord, why do these people know that you are a criminal officer?" Could it be that they heard something from somewhere else?"

Song Ci said: "This is not simple, these people are the same as last night, they received the benefits of Hou Tianhua, so they came to say good things."

But how could Song, as a criminal officer, be deceived by these rhetoric? Officials who are truly dedicated to the people will not come to this set of falsehoods. ”

Continue to walk forward, and suddenly see a banner hanging in front of me, only to see that it is written, the old man of the blue sky, Hou Zhi County, his life is only for the people, and he is our parent official.

Seeing such a scene, Song Ci felt that these things were too fake, and they were clearly just for themselves, but the image of corrupt officials and corrupt officials had been formed, and it was difficult to change it.

After walking forward for a while, Song Ci came to the house of a murderer, because of the murder, he was convicted of murder, and soon after he was dragged to the execution ground and beheaded, and the grave is now half a person high.

Song Ci said: "The murderer Wang Er lives here, this house has not been inhabited for at least two months, the outside is relatively clean, and when the farm is busy, from time to time someone pushes grain to dry.

They came to the open space in front of the house, where there should have been cobwebs, and there was not a single trace of dust as if someone had come to take care of it.

Lu Sheng said: "My lord, are we in the wrong place?" How can there be no one living in such an environment? You see, it's clear that someone is cleaning it. ”

"Yes, my lord, we should check this matter carefully, otherwise it will delay time."

Song Ci said: "No need, this is the home of the deceased Wang Er, if Song is not mistaken, he must have liked to be helpful very much during his lifetime, otherwise, who will come back to help him clean his former residence?"

While talking, an old woman walked out of the house, she came to the house slowly with a crutch, and when she saw Song Ci and others, her temper was very bad, and her eyebrows were cold.

"You go quickly, the old woman is not welcome in this house, get out of here quickly, I would rather have pigs and dogs come in, and I don't want you to come."

Song Ci stepped forward and said, "Old man, why do you have such a big opinion about us?" The first time Song came, he didn't do anything, or said anything ugly. ”

The old woman said: "Because some of you are wearing official uniforms, the old body does not welcome the people of the yamen, regardless of whether he is the prefect of the county or the prefect, the old body is not welcome."

Hearing this, Song Ci already felt something, maybe because of some unfair things, this situation happened, and this matter may involve the deceased Wang Er.

Song Ci said: "Old man, if Song is not mistaken, this house should be a residence called Wang Er, I don't know why you are here?"

The old woman said angrily: "Yes, it is the residence of Wang Er, but the old man has been a neighbor with him for decades, and he used to often help the old woman and me, could it be that he is dead, and I can't clean his room?"

Song Ci was silent, and at this time it had been determined that Wang Er's death was unjust, and it was a big injustice. Qin Xiaoyue said: "Old man, our adults are the emperor's appointed criminal officers, specializing in solving all kinds of unjust, false and wrongful cases, if you have anything, you can tell us, and our adults will help you redress your grievances."

"Sentenced... Raise the sentence?'

The old woman looked excited, "You said yes, you are the criminal officer?" Then you. Can.. You can't...

"Yes, Song is Song Ci."

"Oh my God.. The old woman knelt on the ground at once, crying: "Master Qingtian, you are here, wronged, really wronged!"

Song Ci helped her up and said: "Old man, if you have anything to say, you might as well tell me directly, it is best to have something about Wang Er, I feel that his death is a little unclear."

The old woman took Song Ci and the others to the house, and then arranged to sit down, "Lord Song, Wang Er grew up watching him grow up, he didn't even dare to kill pigs, but Ya] arrested him, saying that he killed a cloth merchant, Wang Er is definitely not such a person."

Song Ci said: "The old man has something to say slowly, if you have something to say slowly, if you have any evidence, you can tell Song, even a little bit."

The old woman said: "On the 20th of May this year, Wang Er has been helping the old man to harvest wheat all day, my lord, if he goes to kill someone, who is with the old man?" It doesn't make sense!"

Song Ci said: "Old man, are you sure you just told the truth?" Wang Er was with you that day?"

"My wife, I'm getting old, so why don't you still tell lies? Lord Song, I dare to guarantee 100% that Wang Er is absolutely innocent. ”

Song Ci thought for a while, "After Wang Er was captured, did you go to visit, and what did he say to you?"

The old woman said: "What do you see, since she was arrested, the old woman wanted to go over more than once, but every time she was refused, she couldn't even go to deliver food, my lord, how can you say there is such a thing?"

Song Ci said: "The Great Song Dynasty has clearly stipulated that even the most heinous prisoners can also visit the prison, the practice of the county yamen is really inappropriate, old man, you can rest assured, if Wang Er's death is unjust, Song will definitely return his innocence, but people cannot be resurrected after all."
