After eating food and resting, Wen Cheng and the three of them came outside the house, looking at Hou Tianhua's residence with embarrassed eyes, and after a night, they made a major discovery.

When Song Ci got up from the bed, the three of them came to report: "My lord, there were candles lit in this yamen lobby last night, and we suspect that someone may be inside."

"Have you gone in and checked? Did you find any important clues?"

"No, there are many people guarding outside at night, and we can't go over, and at the same time, we are afraid of startling the grass and snakes, so we don't act."

Song Ci said: "It's right that you didn't act, if you alarm Hou Tianhua, maybe the matter will be another result!"

"The adult is so clever in judging the case, even if this Hou Tianhua wants to do something out of the ordinary, I'm afraid he won't be able to hide it from the eyes of the adult."

Song Ci laughed and said: "Actually, it's not that Song is powerful, but that I have an extra mind, and when I try the case, I keep thinking about the location of many problems, as long as it is an unjust case, I don't show my feet."

"Okay, let's not spend it in the house, I see, this Hou Tianhua has been waiting for a long time, I can't wait to see the way I looked when I couldn't find the unjust case, let's go, go to the lobby and have a look."

Everyone left the house, and soon walked outside, and when they came to the lobby, Hou Tianhua was there, and there was a book history, and a few other catchers were waiting on the side, and when there was a situation, they would also go up to help.

Hou Tianhua said: "Song Ti Sentencing, this official has been waiting for a long time, you see, early in the morning, I asked Shu Shi to take out all the case files over the years, Song Ti Sentencing, you might as well come and take a look now."

Song Ci said: "I picked it early in the morning, according to Song, it's not like this, your eyes are red when you read the history of books, didn't you stay up all night to find it?"

Shushi said: "Lord Song, the little one was like this a few days ago, there is no such thing as staying up late and not staying up late, and the county magistrate can testify to me."

"That's right, Song Ti's punishment, everything that the history of the book says is true, and there will be no falsehood in this matter." Song Ci turned to look at this group of officials again, "Houzhi County, could it be that these officials are also red-eyed all the time?" Didn't someone stay here overnight to check the case file last night?"

"No, no, Song Tixing, Shushi is also an important member of the imperial court, although it is not a seven-grade or eight-grade, not a nine-grade, but the size is also an official, how can he stay up late to do this?"

Song Ci obviously didn't believe it, but still nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then Song is relieved."

Taking away a case file from the table, Song Ci opened it and glanced at it, and slowly swept the text on it, "Houzhi County, on August 15 last year, a house in the county town caught fire and killed three people, and it took you three days to catch the murderer, was it a drunk man who deliberately set fire outside?"

Hou Tianhua said: "Yes, this is the case, Song Ti was sentenced, at that time, in order to find out the murderer, the official visited outside, and collected evidence to investigate, he is indeed a bachelor in this county."

Song Ci said: "Then I don't know how Houzhi County found out?" Could it be that this man has confessed?"

"Can you not admit your guilt, the evidence of the crime was conclusive at that time, he just wanted to deny it, and there was no way!"

Song Ci was silent, he always felt that there was something wrong with this case, but he didn't know where it appeared.

He continued to open the other case files, and slowly reviewed them again.

"On March 15 this year, a jeweler in Ping'an County was stolen, and the loss was more than several hundred taels of silver, Houzhi County, it only took you two days to find the murderer, it was a bachelor, I don't know how you solved the case?"

Hou Tianhua said: "It's not simple? Naturally, this official relied on his extraordinary acumen and constant visits to finally learn the final murderer.

"So, is this case broken? But the case file says that the thief was beheaded on April 20, but it says that the lost jewel cannot be recovered.

Hou Tianhua said: "Song Tixing doesn't know, this thief has bought all the jewelry, and after exchanging it for silver taels, it has been lost, how can I get it back?"

"Then Houzhi County didn't investigate these hawkers who collected stolen goods? If they had been checked, how would they have escaped?"

"This... I don't know if the punishment is raised, this thief sold things to the Jinren, how can I go to the yamen of the Great Song Dynasty to investigate? Besides, there is constant friction between the two countries, and the Jin people continue to invade our territory in the south, so how can we arrest people?"

Song Ci was silent, but he knew that things were definitely not so simple, and there were loopholes in this case.

Turning over another case file, Song Ci said: "On May 20 this year, a cloth merchant died at home in the county seat, and it took you seven days to capture Wang Er, a bachelor apprentice who fled home, and half a month later, he was sent to the execution ground.

"Yes, these cases are all tried by this official himself, Song Tixing, I don't know if you think there is a problem?"

Song Ci thought for a while, "Hou Zhixian, this is full of your testimony, why don't you see the testimony of the murderer?" Didn't you record it?"

"This is not no, no, Song Ti Senten, since the criminals have all pleaded guilty, what is the use of these testimonies from the official? Besides, what the Criminal Department wants is the official's case file and the prisoner's signature, are you right?"

Hearing this, Qin Xiaoyue and the others felt incredible, if this is the case, wouldn't there be a lot of unjust, false and wrongful cases in the world?

They were also suspicious of what the shopkeeper said, and they were also suspicious of the group of women who came yesterday, this Ping'an county, the water is very deep.

Song Ci said: "Although there is no major problem with what Hou Zhixian said, but Song still feels that things are a little strange, for example, why are the murderers all bachelors without father and mother?"

"This.... The official would like to explain here that Song Ti didn't know anything about the punishment, these murderers just lacked the education of the elderly since childhood, so over time they became outlaws who killed people and set fires, is there a problem with this?"

Song Ci said: "Song thought it was because they had no father or mother, and even if they were wrongfully imprisoned, no one would make trouble, so Houzhi County convicted them."

"How...... How so?" Hou Tianhua wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said: "Song Tixing, this official is only a seven-grade sesame official, but for some things, there is no room for sand in his eyes, if Song Tixing feels that there is a problem, he can take all the case files away and review them."

Song Ci said: "Houzhi County is serious, Song can't have so many case files, just these three, but if any of them go wrong, you can't escape responsibility in Houzhi County, you know?"

There was a pair of bloody eyes, looking at it with the light of a fierce beast, as if he had been hungry for a long time, and at this moment he saw the delicious food on the plate, and his saliva flowed.

"But don't worry about Houzhi County, maybe, Song is just too anxious sometimes, is it possible to tell the case with conclusive evidence?"

"Lu Sheng, take all these case files to the room, Song is going to try the case, remember to be careful along the way, don't break a corner of one side, even if one word is missing."

"Yes, my lord."

Several people left, and soon Hou Tianhua and the others were still here, looking at the backs of Song Ci and the others in a daze.

Shushi said: "My lord, have we left a loophole in this wait?" This Song Ci is not simple, there has been news from the county recently, he was ordered by the emperor to investigate the case in the whole state and counties of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Hou Tianhua put his hands back, and said disdainfully: "Just with him Song Ci, he can't change the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, don't say it's him, even Emperor Song Ningzong can do it?" He has been in power for so many years, has the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty changed?"
