Song Ci nodded, and suddenly, several people came on the street, and there was a female prisoner wearing prison uniforms, shackles on her head, and chains on her feet, and she was parading the streets. There was blood at the corners of her mouth, injuries on her face, and blood on her body, and she was already very weak.

There were several head catchers behind him, armed with big knives, constantly pushing and shoving in the rear, rushing to the execution ground.

This is a female prisoner, Song Ci has already determined it, but, judging from the words of others and the look on this person's face, it seems that this case is unjust, and there is an unjust case at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but it has not been detected.

Song Ci beckoned Xiao Er to come and said, "Xiao Er, I have ten taels of silver in my hand, if you tell me everything about this female prisoner, this money will be yours." ”

Xiao Er took the silver and opened his mouth, "The guest officer doesn't know, this female prisoner has killed someone, and she has been arrested by the magistrate and taken to the execution ground to be beheaded." ”

"Beheaded? Did you kill someone?" Song Ci whispered, there is currently no director of the Criminal Prison Department, who is approving the Criminal Department? Could it be that this magistrate bypassed the Criminal Department and was directly executed in order to make meritorious contributions?

"Xiao Er, I don't know what background you know about this female prisoner? Song looked at her face and found that she was not a bad person with good facial features, but it did not necessarily mean that she was innocent. ”

Xiao Er said: "This female prisoner sells vegetables in the market, she is a vegetable farmer, although her life is ordinary, but she also lives a life, anyway, there is no need to kill people from a small point of view, right?"

Hearing this explanation, but it doesn't mean that the female prisoner didn't kill someone, Song Ci decided to go to the execution ground at this moment.

After giving the face, the three of them hurriedly acted, and Wen Cheng said: "My lord, will it work if I wait to go like this?" They are already about to be beheaded, and they probably can't be stopped at the moment. ”

Song Ci said: "There is no director of the Criminal Prison Department, how can the county give the approval?" But with this article, Song can save her life, and I see that this woman is injured, and she must have been tortured to extract a confession. ”

The three of them walked straight forward, and after inquiry, they finally came to their destination, where there was a head-cutting platform at this moment, and the female prisoner was escorted to kneel on the platform, with a token inserted in her back clothes, and the word chopping was written on it.

The executioner was five big and three thick, bare-chested and holding a sharp broadsword, standing majestically aside, with a shade in front of him, and an official sitting on the platform.

After inquiry, Song Ci learned that this person was the magistrate of this county, with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek face, and after inquiry, Song Ci learned that the county order was called He Jin.

Under the stage, an old woman suddenly rushed to Xingtai, knelt on the ground, and cried: "Lord Zhixian, the little girl didn't kill anyone, and I hope that the adult Mingjian will give her an innocence!"

A catcher immediately stepped forward to knock her down, and He Xianling said angrily: "Boldly taking a woman, daring to break into the execution ground, do you know what crime you have committed?"

The old woman cried: "The old body dares to guarantee with his life, what is the adult, the little girl is a market vegetable seller, she has been honest all her life, how dare she kill someone?" Your Excellency, you must look into it. ”

He Jindao: "You mean that this official can still judge the wrong case, and wronged this person?" Tell you, this official has been an official for 20 years, and he has never been sentenced to an unjust, false or wrongful case, you are questioning this official. ”

Song Ci whispered, "This person is such a big official, from Song's point of view, I am afraid that there are many unjust cases under his hands." ”

Wen Chengdao: "My lord, if this is the case, can we still save it?"

"If you can't save it, you can be saved, Song is a criminal officer, how can he tolerate this kind of thing? Otherwise, wouldn't you defile this official uniform on your body?"

The old woman knelt on the ground under the quick drive, "Lord He, the little girl was indeed wronged, you can't judge the case like this, you can't let the villains go unpunished, you can't let the innocent people suffer wrongs!"

He Jin slapped the table, "Woman, this white paper and black paper still have a painting bond, you dare to say that the official has wronged a good person, you are wronging the official, come here, give me a heavy hit with thirty boards." ”

The arrester walked over, and the female prisoner shouted, "Lord He, the little woman has confessed, why are you still beating my mother?" Aren't you going to kill me for meritorious service? You just come, mother, you get out of here, remember, don't be buried in this Zhendong County after I die!"

The old woman looked up to the sky and cried, "Oh my God, why do you want the little girl to suffer this injustice? God, why don't you open your eyes?"

He Jin said: "God has no eyes, but the official has eyes, the criminal daughter Qin, the evidence of your murder case is conclusive, the white paper and black are all there, come here, the time has come, behead me!"

As he spoke, he threw the token in his hand and landed on the ground.

The executioner pulled out the token on Qin's back, spit a mouthful of liquor on the big knife, and was about to fall when Song Ci's voice came.

"Slow, keep people under the knife!"

The words fell, and he and Wen Cheng walked to the above, and the executioner and a few other catchers were quickly defeated.

He Jin stood up and scolded, "Bold, you dare to trespass on the execution ground, how many of you know what crime you have committed?" Come on, take it for me!"

A few catchers rushed forward again, but they were already knocked down by Wen Cheng and the others.

Song Ci said: "He Zhi County, Song has something unclear today, and I hope to ask for clarification, if He Zhi County can come up with a statement to convince Song that Song confessed to the crime of breaking into the execution ground today?"

He Jin said: "What do you have to ask? The official is here today to execute the criminal, how can you, a grass citizen, ask about this? If you dare to beat the head, you are going to forcibly break into the execution ground!"

Song Ci said: "I don't know how to know the county, when did this Qin murder case happen?"

He Jin said: "Why did this official tell you? Come on, take them down for me, and then the official will be rewarded!"

Wen Cheng's two headcatchers have good strength, and these headhunters don't dare to step forward. Song Ci looked at the Qin clan, and then turned his gaze forward.

"He Zhixian, as far as Song knows, this Criminal Prison Department has not had a director for several months, and you submitted it to the Criminal Department, about the Qin family's case file, was approved by that adult?"

He Jin's expression changed, he didn't expect that there would be a person who knew the rules of officialdom at this moment, but he didn't dare to underestimate the other party.

"This benevolent brother, regarding the approval of the Criminal Department, this official has his own way to take it, otherwise, how dare he press to the execution ground at will!"

"I don't know when you took it?"

Song Ci looked at the Qin family again, "This eldest sister, I don't know when you were arrested, can you reveal that Song is a criminal officer who has just taken office." ”

"Judge? You're a criminal officer?" Qin Xiaoyue raised her head and looked at Song Ci deadly, she felt a little hope.

"Yes, Song is the criminal officer, eldest sister, if you tell the truth, I will teach you your life!"

Qin Xiaoyue's voice was hoarse, and her body was very weak, "Raise the sentence, the poor girl was arrested three days ago, when He Zhi County caught the poor girl, she used the torture instrument without saying a word, and the poor girl was forced to confess." ”

Song Ci's face was a little terrifying, he already knew that this case must be an unjust case, and it was this He Zhi County that made meritorious contributions, so he bent down and made a move, regardless of whether he was suspected or not, and then he beat it.
