Saying that, they just sighed, and with helplessness, Song Qing said: "That old man, your child is in that barracks, and what is the name Song Mou knows, he will definitely contact you."

The old man opened his mouth, "My lord, my cub's name is Ma Dawa, and he is currently working as a soldier in the Xiangyang area, and I don't know if Lord Song knows."

In Xiangyang City, Song Qing whispered, this is Jia Yidao's territory, this person is not a good person, but it does not mean that he will come to his subordinates

But Song Qing really has no way to get the news of this person, after all, he is not a person in the same boat.

Rejecting these two old men in person, Song Qing couldn't do it, so he had to talk nonsense at the moment, intending to deceive.

"Old man, Song is indeed going to Xiangyang in the near future, or I will pay attention to this matter for you, as long as there is news, Song will definitely tell you."

The old man was overjoyed and kept thanking him.

After eating food in a hurry, Song Qing also took people and started to hurry, now there are still thirty miles away from this Mafeng County, if you hurry up, you can arrive at night.

The team was dispatched, walking on the path, and they kept walking forward, reaching their destination.

After a few hours, the sky had darkened, and now it was on the edge of the city. 10,000 people entering the county seat will indeed cause a sensation, so Song Qing simply arranged all of them outside, ready to set up tents to spend the night here, if there are corrupt officials in this county, then they will stay here for a few days.

Some soldiers began to work, Song Qing and Tang Yueyue came outside, and saw a woman walking down the mountain with a basket in her hand at this moment, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes from time to time. She also found Song Qing and this big team, and immediately ran to her and knelt down violently, shouting, "My lord, I am wronged."

Song Qing looked at her, and at this moment, without thinking about it, she already knew that she had encountered an unjust case again, and this woman seemed to have encountered something.

"Eldest sister, if you have any grievances, just get up and say it, Song is the current criminal officer Song Qing." As he spoke, he lifted the other man with one hand.

The woman was shocked, she saw the large group of people, and today she did not expect that she would actually meet the current criminal officer, which is a great news for her. Unconsciously, tears had fallen from the corners of her eyes, and she looked at Song Qing like a tearful person.

"My lord, my lord, are you really a criminal officer? The folk girl can be regarded as meeting you,.. I was met with a great grievance. ”

Tang Yueyue gave a handkerchief for the other party to wipe away her tears, and then said: "Eldest sister, if you have any grievances, then speak out, if I can help, I will definitely not refuse you, you must know that our Lord Song has solved a lot of cases."

The woman wiped away her tears and felt a little better, and then said: "My lord, you don't know, the magistrate of our county is a corrupt official, he almost does all kinds of evil, anyway, it is a bad thing, he has nothing to do."

Song Qingdao: "Then can you give a list, as long as what you say is true, Song will definitely not ignore it."

The woman was sad for a while, "Your Excellency, you don't know, my husband was wronged by him, and then he was beheaded a year ago.

Sure enough, as Song Qing expected, this matter is still like this, needless to say, this magistrate must be some kind of corrupt official, hehe, in the world of the Great Song Dynasty, there is really no Qing official

"You said that your husband was wrongfully beheaded, so Song wants to know why the yamen wants to cut his eldest sister, you must tell the truth, so that Song can save you.

The woman sighed, and then said: "My lord, the cause of the incident is the same as a year ago, when a woman in the village next door to us was returning to her mother's house, she fell into the water and drowned, when my husband was fishing in the pond."

"When he found out, he went to save people, but you wouldn't have thought that this is what happened right now. Because he was so far away from the point of sink, by the time I rescued someone nearby, he had no signs of life and had already drowned. ”

"What about later" Song Qing urgently needed to know.

"Then the people from the Yamen came, and they searched for a while but found no evidence, and then they took my husband away, my lord,..... A month later, he was beheaded for murder.

Song Qing is already angry, and there are many dissatisfactions in his mind, it is an unjust case, and it is an unjust case, this Great Song Dynasty, why are there unjust cases everywhere, and everywhere he goes, there are all corrupt officials and corrupt officials

"Eldest sister, I want to know, since your husband didn't kill anyone, why did he admit that killing people was a trick."

"It's not a trick to be beaten, what else can there be, in short, my lord, that's the thing, my husband died unjustly, my lord, you must make the decision for him, otherwise... The folk girl will not be willing to die in this life.

Song Qing also has this intention, since he is a criminal officer, he naturally has to do things for the people, and it is difficult for anyone to do anything about these corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

Song Qingdao: "Eldest sister, what do you mean is that your attached husband Jun was tortured by this magistrate to admit to murder, and then he was beheaded."

The woman nodded and said, "Yes, my lord, I believe that my husband will never kill anyone, he is very honest on weekdays, he has never quarreled with his neighbors for decades, my lord, if he can kill someone, I am afraid that no one will want to kill him." "Also, my lord, we don't know the deceased, it's not from our village at all, he's from the surrounding village, if you want to kill her, there must be a reason." "If you want to say that you want to make money and kill people, the other party is not a rich and noble family who does anything, and he will kill people for a few pieces of silver, my lord, I can't do such things." "At the same time, this person is ordinary-looking, and he really doesn't have the idea of being admired at a glance, and it is impossible for my husband to rob money or kill people by robbery."

Song Qingen sighed, this case is a long story, based on what this person said, there is no evidence that can be found at all, and it cannot prove that the murderer is guilty or innocent.

The only way to do this was to go to the scene of the crime, and then to go to the victim's home to inquire about the situation.

At this moment, it is already dark, and Song Qing can only plan to stay here first, and wait for tomorrow.

"Eldest sister, I want to know who else in your family is your parents and children."

The woman said: "The children are currently in the field, there are adults, my parents are gone, I am alone at home at present, you said that the man is dead again, and now all the big and small jobs in the family are pressed on my head."

Song Qingen sighed.

"But my lord, what are you asking this for, and then I won't involve my family in this case."

Song Qing looked at her, "You misunderstood, I mean, if you don't have anyone at home, then I want you to stay tonight, Song will arrange a residence for you, and when tomorrow, you can take me to the scene of the crime to have a look." ”

The woman thought it was all right, and she was grateful.

Soon the soldiers had already prepared the food and brought it up.

"Your Excellency has eaten." Shout at the lieutenant general.

He brought food, Song Qing held a plate, his eyes kept looking at the food on the plate, he couldn't figure out why everywhere he went, all the corrupt officials were corrupt

Is officialdom really no longer saved, can you correct this officialdom by yourself?

Don't say it's yourself, even your father Song Ci or Song Duzong estimate that they can't do it.

Song Qing sighed, and then he investigated the cause of Qin Xiaoyue's death, and resigned if he found the murderer.

Tang Yueyue sat next to Song Qing with the food, "My lord, what are you thinking about, are you thinking about the case that this woman said just now?"

Song Qingdao: "Now we don't have any clues, you said that if you think about anything, it is impossible, Miss Yueyue, you will have a night with this eldest sister tonight" Tang Yueyue sighed, walked over to the deputy general at this moment, and shouted: "My lord, I think it is better for me to find the magistrate of this place directly, and ask him to give the file of this case, as long as the adult finds that there are loopholes in it, we can make this case an unjust case."

Song Qingdao: "Deputy General Chao, don't worry about it first, don't worry about this case, Song will find evidence, but in addition to proving the innocence of the murderer, we also have to prove the real murderer in this case and the cause of death."

They thanked him, ignoring that.

Night fell, a bright moon hung in the night sky, and the cries of crickets in the nearby grass were very harsh.

The night passed, and everyone got up early the next morning to eat food in a hurry, and then Song Qing, under the leadership of the women, finally rushed to the destination.

They walked for about half an hour, and at last they came to a pond, and looked at the pond in front of them with blazing eyes.

The woman said: "My lord, my husband found the body of the deceased from here at that time, and this is the scene of the crime.

Speaking of sadness, she cried again, and Song Qing handed over the handkerchief.

"Then can you tell me whether the body was found in a certain location in this pond, that is, where she was placed after being salvaged ashore," the woman pointed dozens of meters away, and opened her mouth.

"Come with me, sir, and I'll take you there."

Song Qing followed, and soon they had already arrived at their destination, "My lord, the body was found from this place at that time, I think the place of death is the pond below." Song Qingdao: This possibility is rich, but it doesn't mean that there is none, the water is fluid, and it is possible that the corpse was floated to the surface of the water and drifted.

Song Qing then asked: "Eldest sister, may I ask what time your husband found the deceased at that time, whether it was day or night?"

"My lord, this case is during the day, and I can't see the corpse in the water at night, do you say that my husband is just an ordinary person, why did he encounter such a thing?"
