(Ask for a recommendation ticket!) ）

"Noisy in prison, when 笞 (chī)!"

Before Heifu could answer, the fierce-eyed commander "Angry" glared at Ji Ying, and then the two military officials on standby in the hall came over and pressed Ji Ying to the ground!

"The villain just has a case to show ......"

Ji Ying shouted that he was wronged, but one yard to another, angrily holding the bamboo board in his hand, and pumping it on his back and buttocks!

Heifu closed his eyes helplessly, and listened to the bamboo board ten times, and Ji Ying also shouted ten times, and this temporary punishment was over.

Good guy, the defendant was not beaten, the plaintiff was beaten first, but this can only be blamed on Ji Ying's own mouth.

Flogging is the lightest corporal punishment, except for the pain of the flesh and skin, it will not cause major damage, and when the board is finished, Xicai asked Ji Ying what the case has to provide to the government.

Ji Ying was honest now, and stated what the thief Pan said that day, 1510.

After hearing this, Xi nodded and looked at the thief: "Pan, is that really the case?" ”

"That's my nonsense." Pan still had a fluke and flatly denied it! Because he knows what the consequences of killing are.

"Well, since you don't admit to other crimes, let's hear what it is."

Xi spread out a bamboo slip in front of him and read: "In September of the twentieth year, Jiayin, Jingling County, dare to sue Anlu County, ......."

This is the letter replied by Jingling County, and next, there is a large number of Pan's crimes, including when he was young, he was conscripted into the army several times and participated in the war, but he was reprimanded for not being active in combat, and after returning to his hometown, he spread negative remarks and was reported by his neighbors, so he was punished as a pawn and went to the north to defend. But on the way north, he injured the escorts, snatched the armor and weapons, and fled into Yunmengze.

After that, Pan also tried to sneak back to his hometown and flee with his wife and children, but was stopped by his neighbors, and Pan escaped again with injuries.

"How dare you say now that there are no other sins?" Xi's voice became stern, and Pan, seeing that his old bottom had been exposed, hung his head in frustration and confessed these sins.

Xi's voice softened again, and he seemed to know everything about Pan: "Your crimes, this official knows everything, and the reason why you don't expose them is to see if you have the heart to confess...... For example, in the burglary and robbery case in Xiaoheli in Jingling County half a year ago, were you also involved? In the Jingling County book, it is said that the appearance and figure of the murderer dictated by the survivor of that case are exactly the same as yours! ”

Xi's face changed when he said it, and he frightened: "If you don't recruit from the truth, this official will be tortured!" ”

Unlike the ten major tortures of the Qin Dynasty that later generations made up, the interrogation of the Qin State was based on collecting evidence and interrogating them as the best means, and the perpetrator would not be tortured until he was really stubborn, but in the eyes of the officials, this was already an inferior practice.

Pan was only depressed just now, but now he was shocked, and he repeated all the sins he had committed like pouring beans.

It turned out that he really carried two lives in his hands, and he also participated in five or six robberies, but he didn't have much money looted.

It's a pity that Qin Guo judged the case, but no matter how much money you robbed, it was your criminal heart that looked at it! Even if it's just a penny, even if it's a rope or mulberry leaf that is not worth a penny, it's a theft! Not to mention killing.

However, homicide is not the most extreme crime, and the most serious crime in the criminal law of the Qin State, in addition to rebellion, should be the crime of group robbery.

Next, Xi asked Pan's two accomplices to state their names, origins, and crimes one by one. The result was a big surprise, they were actually the Chu people who fled to Yunmengze from the south of the Chu River (Hunan), a total of three people, who only partnered with Pan this summer.

Now there is some trouble, although Xi has known about it, but he still frowned.

The laws of the Qin State only apply to the counties of Qin, but not to the Chu State, so that the origins and crimes of the two Chu thieves cannot be verified, and they can only be judged according to the custom.

At this time, it was Heifu and Ji Ying's turn to appear, as just now, first stating their names, identities, and origins.

Xi repeatedly confirmed to them that there were only four thieves at that time?

"There are only four of them, indeed." Heifu now admires Xi very much, and the entire county prison hall has become a stage for his performance, and his sensitivity and ability are no less than any professionally trained judge in later generations!

"According to the law, since there are less than five people, it cannot constitute the crime of group robbery."

Xi touched his beard and said to the officials: "Write it down, Pan and the others are not considered group thieves, and can only be punished as ordinary theft and murder." ”

In this way, the history of this case and the nature of the crime are clear, but it is not over, and Xi's eyes turn to the two black husbands again, asking about the capture of the thief.

Ji Ying seemed to have forgotten what she had been beaten just now, and said with her eyebrows fluttering, especially boasting about Heifu's deeds of hitting three thieves alone and grabbing the white blade empty-handed. Since he recognized Heifu as a brother, Heifu's ability seems to have become his own ability, and he is honored.

Ji Ying can't do anything else, there is a set of gossip and bragging, when he talked about the highlights, those officials who had been recording the interrogation process actually stopped writing and listening attentively.

Xi still didn't interrupt Ji Ying, and after he finished speaking dryly, he turned his head and asked Heifu: "Is that so?" ”

Heifu had to bite the bullet and said: "Although the words are a little exaggerated, but they are generally not bad, the villain is indeed one against three, but Ji Ying has also fought with another thief for a long time, if it weren't for his assistance, I am afraid I would have been a dead corpse on the side of the road." ”

Xi nodded, didn't believe it, and asked the three thieves again, and saw that they had no objections, so he turned his attention to Ling Shi "angry".

It turns out that Nu's duty is not only to maintain order in the public court, but also to conduct autopsy and on-site inquest work, which is equivalent to a forensic doctor in later generations. When Qin was sent to inquire about the three thieves the day before yesterday, Nu had already recorded the wounds of the thieves one by one and submitted an inspection report "War".

"Chu Thief Jia has a blade wound on the outside of his left ankle, transverse, 9 inches long, which is a mark of a short sword scratch, and there is a bruise on his abdomen, which is a trace of being hit by a heavy fist; There is a blade wound on the outside of Chu Thief Yi's right leg, longitudinal, 4 inches long and 1 inch wide, the wound is smooth, it is a trace of a short sword piercing, and the rest of the parts are not injured......"

After reading the injury examination book, Xi could know that Heifu was not lying, and the parts that hit the thief were all the same depths, so he was surprised and said: "Look at your age, you have such courage and skill." ”

Heifu was still shocked that the Qin State's inquest system was advanced, and it was comparable to the forensic doctors of later generations, but he heard Xi ask him: "Who did you learn your martial arts from?" ”

He secretly said that it was not good, his grappling fist was not a thing of this era, and he saw that he was like Virgo obsessive-compulsive disorder, and his flaws would be compared, of course, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he could only find a dead man to be a shield.

Heifu said: "It was taught by his deceased father, he served in the army, beheaded for meritorious service, and was honored as a duke." He also used to collect firewood in the mountains, fight with wild boars, and learned a set of boxing skills, because he favored me the most among his three sons, so he only passed it on to me......"

Fool you! If I'm not mistaken, the cheap dad's favorite is obviously the youngest son "Surprise", that is, the younger brother who went to the barracks with Heifu in history. But Heifu has now practiced lying without revealing flaws, anyway, the cheap daddy has been dead for several years, even if he has great ability, can he still ask the ghost?

Sure enough, Xi frowned, although his intuition told him that Heifu did not tell the truth, but he did not find anything suspicious, so he did not pursue it anymore, and only said to the clerks in the hall:

"Write it down, the three thieves should be captured by Heifu and Ji Ying, and the next thing is the case of the chief of the Huyang Pavilion......"

He looked at Heifu: "Heifu, you used to tell the Huyang Pavilion Chief, begging for thieves, etc., to rob the merit and cheat the reward, but now you still insist?" ”

Heifu arched his hand: "The government encourages the accusation of adultery, and the villain also insists on telling himself." ”

Xiban raised his face and said: "The head of the Huyang Pavilion is the official of the government fighting for food, do you know that if you falsely accuse the official, if you are confirmed, you will be falsely accused and punished heavily!" ”

Now there is no way out, and Heifu raised his head: "The villain knows, but the villain only states his grievances and does not dare to hide it." ”

"Okay." Xi nodded, and motioned to Nu Hele: "Bring the Huyang Pavilion Chief and the others up!" Within today, the two cases will be tried together! ”

With a burst of footsteps, everyone in the Huyang Pavilion was taken up from the hall respectively, including the skinny thief, and three pavilion guards, after they came to the hall, they all stared at the black man, and their resentment was overflowing......

As soon as he went to the court, he first looked around, found Shang Jia Bao who was standing aside as a witness, and forced him to look at him with his eyes, and after Bao nodded in fear, the Huyang Pavilion Chief breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned to look at Heifu and sneered secretly: "Little Shaft, when you are interrogated later, the custody will make you dumbfounded and difficult to clear yourself!" ”

……

PS: The trial process, the Q&A, and the judge's final explanation in this chapter refer to the interrogation article of the "Sealed Diagnosis".

Attached is a translation of Yunmeng Qin's book "The Death of a Thief":

The body of a man was lying on his back on his back to the south of a house. The man had a stab wound on the left forehead and two stab wounds on his back, both longitudinal, 4 inches long and 1 inch wide, with a concave wound in the middle, like the marks of an axe. Bleeding from the periphery, contaminating the head, back, and ground. There were no injuries to the rest of the area.

He wore a single cloth shirt and a skirt, the back of which was equivalent to the wound area, and two places were cut by the blade, and the back and placket were stained with blood.

There was a pair of Qin-style hemp shoes on the west side of the corpse, one was slightly more than 6 steps away from the corpse, and the other was 10 steps away from the corpse. The ground was hard and there were no signs of the killer. The deceased was a man of prime living with white skin, 7 feet 1 inch in length and 2 feet in hair. There are two old scars on the abdomen for moxibustion......

After reading it, I felt like I needed to calm down.
