The suspect Tong is also in his twenties, with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, slender waist and hips, quite a bit of posture, at this time he is dressed in plain clothes, and he looks a little pitiful, at this time he was stared at by Li Sanjian, a young official of the imperial court, extremely cramped and uneasy, and at the same time a little shy? A little embarrassed...

However, when Li Sanjian opened his mouth to speak, Tong Shi did not have the above feelings at all, and the rest was only terrified.

"Bi Tong's!" After half a ring, Li Sanjian suddenly slapped the shocked wood on the table, and shouted: "Are you guilty? ”

"The women of the people... The woman is convicted... Tong looked up at Li Sanjian in surprise and replied.

Didn't Li Sanjian ask just now? Why did he ask again at this time, Tong wondered.

"What crime have you committed?" Li Sanjian asked in a deep voice.

"AND ... And adultery. Crime... But the big lord, the woman and him... Tong Shi panicked in his heart and stammered in reply.

"The crime of adultery?" Li Sanjian interrupted Tong's words and sneered: "Because of adultery, murdering one's husband, the death penalty is inescapable." ”

According to the Song law, the law of thieves and miscellaneous laws, all those who murder relatives, maternal grandparents, husbands, and grandparents of husbands are all beheaded!

If an adulterer commits adultery and kills his husband, and the wife and concubine who committed adultery do not know it, they are guilty of the same crime.

A wife or concubine who commits adultery with another person, and the adulterer kills her husband, plots to kill, kills, or fights, and the wife and concubine who committed adultery are guilty of the same crime as the murderer, and the wife and concubine who committed adultery are also hanged.

That is to say, as long as the wife and concubine commit adultery with others, resulting in a murder, regardless of whether the wife and concubine know about it, at least it will be hanged, if the wife and concubine know about it, or even conspire with it, or even commit it with the adulterer, then it is beheading, and in serious cases, it can also be sentenced to beheading, abandonment of the city, chopping, and so on.

The crime of adultery is only a man sentenced to one year in prison and a woman is sentenced to two years' imprisonment, provided that someone sues the official, and the family must be consulted, and if the husband or family does not pursue the case, then the punishment can also be exempted.

However, if any judgment, or the official in charge of the criminal lawsuit, is too complicated to adjudicate, it can also be adjudicated, that is, to ask the imperial court or even the emperor to adjudicate.

Li Sanjian's eight-year study career, how do you not know about Song Xingtong? If you don't understand, you won't be able to win the first place, and you must know that there are many criminal laws to be tested in Song Gongju.

"Ahh Tong Shi was immediately shocked when he heard this, and collapsed on the ground with a scream, and for a while, he couldn't speak, just looked at Li Sanjian blankly.

Li Sanjian didn't speak again, just looked at Tong coldly.

"Uncle... Wronged... After half a ring, Tong Shi kowtowed and cried: "Why does the eldest lord say that the people are thinking about adultery and murdering their husbands?" ”

"I'll ask you." Li Sanjian heard this: "How did your husband die? ”

Li Sanjian knew that there must be hidden secrets in this case, and it was not so simple.

Bi Lin's widow Zou claimed that Tong killed her husband because of adultery, but this matter is not verified, there is no evidence, and Li Sanjian cannot conclude the case.

Moreover, this is only one side of the story.

At this time, Li Sanjian just used heavy words to scare the Tong family first, in order to get the truth.

"The first husband ... Did my husband die of illness? Tong replied in amazement.

"Sick and dead?" Li Sanjian sneered when he heard this: "A good person, how can he say that he died of illness and died of illness?" The official wants to know, what kind of disease did he die of? ”

"It's really sick and dead, isn't the government already concluded? said that the first husband had to die in a hurry. Tong sobbed.

"What the hell is going on? Let's go into details. Li Sanjian said again.

"At that time, the first husband went to his uncle's place to eat and drink, and then he fell ill and died, and when the woman rushed away, the first husband had already been buried, and the woman did not believe it at the time, so she reported to the official and asked the government to do an autopsy, and after the autopsy, he said that he had to die of a sudden illness." Tong replied when he heard this.

"Eat and drink? With whom do you eat and drink? Who was there? Is it his brother Billing? Li Sanjian asked.

"I don't know the specific women, but when the women arrived, the uncle had not yet arrived, the women arrived on the front foot, and the uncle came on the back foot, and the official reported to the uncle was also the official of the uncle." Tong replied after thinking about it.

"So, didn't Brother Bi Lin eat with him?" Li Sanjian pondered for a moment, and then asked Xiang Tong, "Do you believe that your husband died of illness?" ”

"This... Folk women... The women don't believe it, but the lord, the slave family is a woman's family, what can you do if you don't believe it? Tong sobbed.

"Why don't you believe it? Since the government has experienced that he is going to die in a hurry, why don't you believe it? Li Sanjian asked again.

"This..." Tong's face was embarrassed, and he looked extremely hesitant.

"Bold woman!" Li Sanjian slapped the shocked wood heavily and said angrily: "Do you have to wait for the official to be punished, so you are willing to say yes?" Do you have to judge you for a capital crime before you speak? ”

Torture, torture to extract confessions, such a substandard thing, Li Sanjian disdains it, and under torture, the possibility of torture is very high.

However, threatening a die-hard person with a punishment still has some effect, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

"Sir... Tong looked around, and it seemed that there was something unspeakable.

"You all stand down!" Seeing this, Li Sanjian said to the scribes, officials and others who were standing in the hall.

When the scribes, officials and others heard this, they retreated, and only Li Sanjian and Tong were left in the huge official hall at this time.

"Bi Tong, you get up and speak." Li Sanjian walked down the steps and said to the Tong family who was kneeling on the ground with a pleasant face: "Sit down and talk, you may not know this official, this official is a benevolent person, as long as you tell the truth today, no matter what happens, this official will be lightly punished." ”

At this time, she can no longer threaten, and she should be given some baggage at this time, so that she can tell the truth.

After tossing for a long time, the Tong family was already extremely tired, and at this time, seeing Li Sanjian and his face pleasant, he dared to sit down hesitantly and said: "Master, the woman has an account book in her hand... It was left by the late husband before his death, and the first husband may have died because of this incident. ”

"Books?" Li Sanjian was overjoyed when he heard this, stood in front of Tong and asked, "What kind of account book is it?" Where is it now? ”

If there is such an account book, then the matter is easy to explain, that is, Brother Bi Lin was killed because of this account book. And his brother Bi Lin also investigated the cause of his brother's death because of this, so he was framed, stabbed with Caizhou, and then killed and killed.

Li Sanjian once heard Bi Lin's widow Zou say that Bi Lin's brother was once a small shopkeeper of Li Jijin Bank, so this account book may be a record of some unsightly things about Li Jijin Bank.

This reasoning is logical, Li Sanjian has gone through it in his mind several times, and feels that the ins and outs of this case are indeed like this.

"The slave is hiding." Tong replied.

"Where to hide? If you are suspicious, why don't you take out the account books and avenge your husband? Li Sanjian asked.

"Sir." Hearing this, Tong replied: "At the beginning, the government verified that the first husband died of a sudden illness, but the slave family knew in their hearts that the first husband did not die of a sudden illness, there must be a hidden secret, and the problem should be in this account book, but how can a weak woman in the slave family dare to compete with the government?" After the accident of the first husband, the slave family still wanted to destroy this account book, but the slave family thought that the first husband died unexpectedly, so they couldn't bear it. ”

"Who else knows about this? Does Ding Xiaoyi know? Li Sanjian thought about it, if the Tong family took out this account book at that time, maybe there would be one more corpse in this world.

"Big man!" Tong sighed when he heard this: "Although the folk woman is stupid, she also knows this kind of thing, and the fewer people who know it, the better, he... He didn't know. ”

"Good!" Li Sanjian nodded and said, "Someone is coming... Forget it, let's go there in person. ”

Li Sanjian originally wanted to ask someone to get the account books, but it was better to go to such an important physical evidence himself.

。。。。。。。。

The account book is an ordinary ledger of this butterfly, the so-called butterfly is to fold the paper with the text in half, and then the middle seam shall prevail, all the page numbers are folded in half, and then cut together.

Li Sanjian flipped through this ordinary butterfly account book, he was extremely frightened, and his heart was like a stormy wave.

The records in the account books are simply shocking, and so many people are involved at the same time? It can be said that it is in all aspects, Li Sanjian thought in horror.

"Sir.。。?" Tong Shi saw that Li Sanjian was in a daze for a long time and did not speak, so he asked.

"The official still has to be unclear, and he needs to be solved by Mrs. Tong." Li Sanjian said after waking up.

"Sir, please speak." At this time, the Tong family was unusually relaxed, handed over this account book to Li Sanjian, and also solved his own henchmen's troubles, and he was able to sleep peacefully.

Of course, it would be great if Li Sanjian could redress the grievances of the Bi Lin brothers, if not, even those people, then at this time, the Tong family had already handed over the account books, and they would not take any more risks, right?

In fact, whether Li Sanjian can redress the grievances of the Bi Lin brothers is also indifferent to the Tong family, because it was Brother Bi Lin who forced the Tong family to marry him in the first place, and the Tong family was extremely resentful in his heart.

Tong's just has a conscience that doesn't go.

"Bilin will you or not... Rape yin? Li Sanjian was puzzled, so he asked.

"Nope!" Tong replied with a wry smile.

"Bi Lin's case is an adulterous sister-in-law case, and you are Bi Lin's sister-in-law, so even if you are not guilty, it will have a great impact on your reputation, why don't you object to this matter? Why admit it? Li Sanjian asked.

"Someone is pressing." Tong replied.

"Who made you do this?" Li Sanjian asked again.

"The officials of the government and Zhou." Tong didn't want to say it, but the matter had reached this point, and she couldn't help but stop talking about it.

"Which Zhou official?" Li Sanjian asked when he heard this.

"The slave family doesn't know his name, the slave family only knows him as the official of the Kaifeng Mansion." Tong replied.

"Threatening you with Ding Xiaoyi?" Li Sanjian asked.

Tong glanced at Li Sanjian and nodded: "As the eldest master said, he... It is to use this matter to persecute the slave family and make the slave family frame the uncle. ”
