At the same time, among the county yamen, at this moment, Qin Shui, the magistrate of the county, and Shushi gathered together, and in the past two days, they always felt that something would happen.

Especially after learning that Song Qing was coming with a large team, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, and at this moment, he knew that the situation was not quite right.

If there is no loophole, how can Song Qing stare at it, and it can't be said.

Shushi said: "My lord, this Song Qing and Song Dynasty is not good at punishment, he actually brought so many people here. If we don't handle this case properly, your problem will be serious. ”

Qin Shui naturally knew about this problem, his head was empty now, and he didn't even know how to deal with this matter at all, it was difficult.

"Shushi, sir, let me ask you, have we been following the clues in this case to find out what I did wrong, sir, combined with various clues, as well as the time and place of the crime, this Hu Sannai is the murderer.

Shushi nodded and said: "Yes, Lord Zhixian, so what should we do now, I know that there is a problem at a glance, and we don't have any loopholes in our trial, and we didn't deliberately create an unjust case, my lord, what do you say I'll do?"

Qin Shui's head hurt badly, and he didn't know what to do from beginning to end, it had been a day or two, if this case was not wronged in Song Qing's opinion, then how could he continue to investigate it.

There are already many magistrates next door who have been taken down because of unjust cases, and some people have even had their heads cut off, and when he thought of this case, Qin Shui sighed deeply.

"Shushi, continue to bring the case file to the master, tonight the lord I will thoroughly investigate the case, about this matter, even if the master I made a mistake, then I have to know what went wrong."

Shushi immediately took action, took out the file from a cabinet next to him, and handed it to Qin Shui.

"Master, I can't figure it out if it's a little bit, after this Hu San entered the cell, he first refused to admit it, why did you only use a J point of punishment, master, and he admitted it" "Master, I'm afraid ordinary people will also be tortured, and they can't bear it until they are like this, master, don't you think it's strange"

Qin Shui was silent at this moment, he didn't even know what to say, and when Shushi said this, he also felt that there was a problem.

"Okay, book history, you can also help the lord and me to see, the lord I have been an official and honest all my life, and I have never been stained, my lord, I can't be punished by this Song Qing because of this matter." The two of them gathered together and studied for a long time, until the oil lamp was about to go out, and then they returned to the house and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, in the barracks, Song Qing and the others at this moment finished breakfast, and everyone had already split up and went to all sides.

Song Qing walked through the path and walked on the way to the pond, looking for all kinds of evidence along the way, until he came to the edge of the pond, and then sat on the side of the dirt bag.

The pond is not very large, about 20 zhang in length and width, and the water is not deep.

Coming from the official road in the distance, there are only a few hundred meters, and the distance between hundreds of meters is not too far, that is, a few breaths.

Song Qing looked at the water calmly, and then he saw several sneaky backs coming from the side, holding a large net, ready to steal fish.

"These people are really good, they don't go to work themselves, and they can't bear to steal that Hu San's stall is such a thing, it's very, very unfortunate."

A few thieves started very quickly, they unfolded the net and threw it down, just as they were about to close the net, Song Qing finally led a few generals down.

It wasn't until they came to their backs that they realized it, and when they turned to look, they were already on the ground the next moment.

“... It's just my first time here..."

For this kind of words, Song Qing naturally wouldn't believe it, these people are very skilled, and they are familiar at a glance, and they have never come here once or twice.

"Several, get up, Song is definitely not a petty thief today, it's just that you can bear to steal this family's fish"

They were so ashamed that they wanted to find a hole to drill into. "My lord, I promise never to do this again, can you let us go

Besides, it's all dragged by the family, if I get caught, how will I live this life. "Yes, yes, my lord, I heard you say this just now, I am really very guilty, the owner of this pond is not easy, and she is a widow, you say, how can she live."

Song Qingdao: "Since you know about repentance, then Song doesn't say much, but since I met you here today, I have a few questions I want to ask, I don't know if I want to tell you."

A person walked out, "My lord, if you want to ask, just ask, as long as we know, we will never refuse you, as long as the matter within ten miles and eight miles has not been able to hide from us." ”

Song Qingen sighed, and then opened his mouth, "Actually, Song doesn't have anything else to ask, I just want to know, do you know any clues about the murder in this pond a year ago?"

They thought it was strange that the case had already been closed and the murderer had his head cut off, so what else was there to ask

"My lord, your question is strange, this case has been closed, what else is there to ask?"

"Yes, yes, my lord, you should ask other questions, our Qin Zhixian has already solved the case, in fact, there is nothing else wrong with it at all

Song Qing looked at them and began to explain, "Several, it's not a secret, it's Song who feels that this case is wronged, so he wants to re-understand the situation, if you know, can you tell one or two?"

Several people were shocked by the unjust case, and the people had already been cut down, is it too late to come up with an unjust case Now besides, the magistrate of the county here is like a god in judging the case, how can he create an unjust case

"I said, my lord, shouldn't you be making fun of a few of us, I don't think this case will be fake, and besides, the county magistrate knows everything, how could he do this, I don't believe it."

Song Qing didn't know how to explain it, so he simply identified himself.

"It's not a secret that Song is Song Qing, the criminal officer of the Criminal Department, and when he passed by here two days ago, he found that he was wronged, as a criminal officer, how can Song not care if you say it is or not" They were obviously stunned, this is the criminal officer, and he is also the son of Song Ci, about Song Qing's identity, he has already heard it.

Several people glanced at each other, and then knelt down and said: "My lord, are you really a criminal officer, you are Song Ci, and the son and grandson of Song Gong's old criminal."

Song Qing nodded, "If you don't change your name, you shouldn't have a surname, Song is Song Qing, how many people, do you still believe it now?"

Everyone replied one after another, and even the criminal officer didn't believe it, so who can you trust, do you say yes or no?

"My lord, we believe that you are, if you have any questions, then ask me, as long as we know, we will not hide it."

Song Qingen sighed and opened his mouth at this moment.

"There is only one thing that Song wants to ask, that is, early in the morning of August 11 last year, I want to know if you are busy coming here to steal fish, but you can rest assured, Song does not want to pursue you for theft."

They looked at each other and opened their mouths.

"My lord, I can't hide it, I was so poor in those days that I almost couldn't even afford to eat, and in those days, I just came to steal fish, but my lord, what are you asking about this?"

Song Qing was overjoyed in his heart and continued: "Since you are here, it is good that on August 11 last year, Hu San, a villager from the village, found a female corpse in the pond, you should know this

They replied one after another, and although they didn't know what happened that day, they believed it at the mention of the murder.

Song Qingdao: "Since this is the case, then you can talk about it, tell me what you saw and heard early in the morning, and the best word is not a lot to say."

Someone said, "My lord, I came out to steal fish at six o'clock in the morning, and it was dark after I came here. ”

"Shortly after we arrived, we heard a thud as if someone had fallen into the water, and we thought it was someone fishing with a net, but we couldn't see it, so we didn't ask anything."

Song Qing thought to himself, this voice was very likely to be the deceased in this case who was thrown away, absolutely.

There are also humanitarians: "When the sound disappeared, there was no movement, so I didn't care, so I continued to steal fish, but my luck was not good, and the owner of the pond, Hu San, came."

"And then he didn't find you?"

"No, my lord, I was already hiding at that time, and I was ready to come out for a while, and after a while, we heard a shout from Hu San's mouth, he found the body, so he went into the water and fished up the body."

"My lord, as for what happened next, you will know, and soon the magistrate of the county received a report and rushed over and arrested this Hu San."

Song Qing looked at them, "It means that you have seen the whole thing, so do you think Hu San is the murderer?"

"This, this.... My lord, at first we thought it wasn't him, after all, someone killed someone and hoped that he got it in the pond, don't you say?"

"But later, the magistrate had already arrested people, arrested Hu San, and was beheaded soon after, and we knew that the murderer was this person.

Song Qing sighed, "If you go to testify against this Hu San, he will not die, it is not a secret, there are big loopholes in this case, and Hu San was wronged." ”

"Ahh This ....."

"The magistrate of the county will extort confessions at every turn, even if there is no crime, it will become guilty, do you think they are willing to spend so much effort to solve a case"
