Chapter 300: Mafeng County Case VIII
"Hehe, it's nothing more than going through the motions, just catching someone casually, besides, who is the scapegoat isn't doing it? The main thing is that the murderer will not be stupid enough to come out and debunk.
They understood at this time, but their minds were much empty, and they didn't expect that the case was a misjudgment.
"Lord Song, in that case, do you still want to retry this case? You see the scapegoats are dead, so how about I think that's it?"
Song Qingli drank, "Forget it? Didn't the man die in vain? Wouldn't Hu San be blind to death? And this deceased? Can they rest in peace under the Nine Springs?"
Several people were speechless when they were scolded, they knew that they had said the wrong thing, and they were very ashamed. Song Qing continued: "Since there is suspicion in this case, then it can't be counted like this, no one can escape responsibility, especially this magistrate, if it is intentional, Song will convict him, if it is not intentional, then he must also be punished."
"A few folks, thank you for telling me just now, Song now has a number in his heart, what is going on in this case, Song also knows in his heart, thank you at this moment.
"Before leaving, Song has another sentence to tell you, that is, don't come here to steal fish, if you really want to eat, it's a big deal to buy some by yourself, or raise a little by yourself. By the way, can you all go to Yamen in the afternoon? Song needs to solve this case.
They answered, ashamed, lowered their heads and said nothing, Song Qing led people to the front and walked towards the official road.
As soon as they walked on the front foot, Qin Shui, the county magistrate on the back foot, rushed over with a few officials, and a few villagers were collecting the net at the moment, and when they saw that Qin Shui of the county was taken aback, they couldn't figure it out, why did the adults run here every day?
"The little one has seen the adult, may the adult be as blessed as the East China Sea, and live longer than the South Mountain!"
Qin Shui waved his hand and said, "Several, this official asks you, this place is not your pond, why do you want to come over to fish?" Don't you know that the crime of theft has violated the laws of the Great Song Dynasty?"
Several people knelt on the ground suddenly, this is the magistrate of the county who created the unjust case, and I don't know if there is any adult who has just raised the sentence to speak.
"Lord Zhixian, Song Ti has already blamed us for his punishment just now, can you let me go now? With this fish, I won't dare to steal it anymore. ”
Qin Shui was stunned, even Song Qing came? What does this mean? Did he already feel something? Otherwise, how can this be explained?
"A few of you, the official asked you, what did Lord Song come to ask you just now? It is better to recruit from the truth, or this official will punish you for theft today. ”
A few people didn't dare to refuse at all, and told what had just happened one by one, and Qin Shui was stunned when he heard it, he knew that it was over, everything was over, and he seemed to have made a big mistake.
Shushi is also a frozen face, he is also responsible for the accident in the county, and now things are getting more and more difficult to deal with, and it is very troublesome.
"My lord, that's what happened just now, you see that we have told the truth, we have waited.... Can I leave later?"
Qin Shui waved his hand, they put away the fishing nets and left quickly, and soon disappeared from sight.
Qin Shui kept whispering in his mouth why, why is this happening? When I first handled the case, I was thinking about how to deal with this matter quickly, and it was a little difficult to do it now. For the first time, he felt very helpless in life, his head was empty at the moment, and he didn't know what to do next, this Song Qing already knew something, and he would not let himself go.
"Shushi, the future of the two of us is broken, although the official doesn't care about this, but he has been reluctant to go, you say, what should we do?" Shushi was silent, constantly silent, and the timidity in his heart was no less than that of Qin Shui, the county magistrate.
"Lord Zhixian, now that we know about this case, it is not too late for everything, now we can only treat it as an accident, compensate Hu San's wife, and then cooperate with Song Tixing to find out the murderer."
Qin Shuiye felt that this was the case, he felt very ashamed at this moment, he was not a corrupt official, and he also cherished his wings very much, because there was no mountain on his back, he had to be careful as an official in this life.
But I didn't expect something to happen, which is embarrassing and helpless.
The question is, since this Hu San didn't kill anyone, why did he admit it easily? This is too strange, besides, in the yamen, no heavy punishment was used against him at all, it was nothing more than intimidation and a few big fights.
"Shushi, let's go, since the matter has reached such a field, I can only go back and accept the punishment of Song Reminder, hehe, the official also admits it, hey, when people reach this position, sooner or later they will retire one day, why do you have to stare at it?" They turned and left, and soon disappeared in their place, except for the pond that remained alone.
Song Qing led the soldiers to go straight along the trail quickly, and then came to the side of the official road to sit on the ground and wait, and after a while, they ran towards the deputy general and Tang Yueyue. When they saw Song Qing, they immediately came to report to them.
"My lord, just now we got an important clue through the visit, the deceased and her husband Zhu Laosan had a quarrel, and there was a fight at that time, so early the next morning, the deceased returned to his hometown with a salute, and then died in the pond."
Song Qing actually had a premonition about this problem, and now that the evidence has pointed to Ma Fu and Zhu Laosan, the truth of the matter will be solved little by little.
"Miss Yueyue, what else have you heard? Tell Song everything about everything.
Tang Yueyue said: "My lord, don't hide it, this husband and wife love to quarrel and quarrel on weekdays, and it is very doubtful at the moment, my lord, are you starting to think that this Zhu Laosan is the murderer again?"
Song Qing thought for a while, and the thoughts in his mind had become more and more, and now he was still not sure who the murderer was.
But he had a bold inference in his head.
"And what clues do you two have from the groom? This person is the first person to be suspected, and Song will never let him go. ”
He said to the adjutant general: "My lord, there is nothing unusual about this person, I wonder if it is because more than a year has passed, he still does not dare to take this road?"
"Besides, because of the guilt of murder, once you pass by the pond, there will be many shadows."
Song Qing pointed to the road with his finger, and opened his mouth at this moment, "Deputy General Chao, Miss Yueyue, you can follow this path and look ahead to see if the carriage can pass by." ”
After they looked at it, they opened their mouths at this moment, "My lord, this road is indeed very difficult to walk, and I think there are two reasons why this groom does not dare to walk here, one is that this place is not easy to walk. ”
"The second is that he really killed the person, and now that something like this has happened, maybe I feel guilty in my heart, or maybe I don't dare to face it."
Song Qing felt that this was the case, and now if he wants to know the truth of the matter, especially the cause of death of the deceased, it is so simple, he must go through an open coffin autopsy.
"Deputy General Chao, now Song Mou orders you to immediately bring Zhu Laosan and this groom in this case to the Yamen, and Song Mou will try the case today."
"Yes, my lord." He ran out with a dozen soldiers.
"Miss Yueyue, let's go, it's time for us to go to the yamen, it's time to uncover the truth of the matter today.
Tang Yueyue was taken aback, "My lord, do you already have a clue?" Isn't it too fast? Why do we only think that the murderer is just one of them, and it is difficult to determine who it is. ”
Song Qing turned around and walked back, and a voice came from his throat, "As for this question, Song is the same as you, but when it comes to the destination, Song can only analyze the matter slowly and hit the bottom line in their hearts." ”
Song Qing and the others continued to walk towards the county seat, they needed to find the gambling hall to inquire about the situation, Hu San lost ten taels of silver, and it may be more than that, or even a big number.
After a while, they walked on the streets of the county seat, there are not many gambling halls, most of them are unmanned, and it is lively and lively here at night, like rushing to the market.
Tang Yueyue was puzzled, "My lord, why are you looking for a gambling house?" Could it be that your hands are itchy and you want to play two games at the moment?"
Song Qing really wanted to pat a few times on her head, and the reason why she came here was not without reason.
Entering a house at will, Song Qing saw that the shopkeeper was counting yesterday's income at the counter at this moment, and opened his mouth at this moment.
"Shopkeeper, I don't know if I'm free at the moment."
When the latter looked up, when he saw that it was someone from the Yamen, his body was weak and fell to the ground at this moment, and he was almost not scared to death.
“..... Adults, this small casino doesn't have much fun,...... Adults, you have to be clear, and you can't wronged the little ones. ”
Song Qing looked at him directly, and then looked in all directions, this place is quite large, it can accommodate hundreds of people, if you are lucky, you will earn a lot of money in one night.
"The shopkeeper, it's not a secret, Song didn't come to gamble today, but there are a few questions I want to ask you, I don't know if the shopkeeper can tell you the truth?"
The shopkeeper finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression recovered a lot, as long as he didn't catch the gamble, it was easy to say.
"My lord, if you have anything to say, just say it, the small one has been doing business here for many years, and he hasn't done anything bad so far, if the adult doesn't allow the gambling house to open, the big one will close now."
Song Qing opened his mouth, "Shopkeeper, I want to know, when is the best business in your store every day?"
The shopkeeper didn't think twice, "My lord, if you want to say that the busiest time of the day, it can only be after eight o'clock in the evening, and this is the best time for business.
"But don't worry, my lord, we definitely haven't committed a crime, we have always obeyed the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, even if the luck is bad, the win or loss in one night is only a hundred yuan, and it is impossible to exceed one or two.
