The head catcher said directly to Lin Shi: "Early this morning, someone went to the yamen to complain, saying that yesterday morning, Miss Lin Shi had a conflict with Tian Yi, the son of the Marquis of Xuanwu, and one of them died suddenly last night.

According to preliminary judgments, the cause of death was a heavy blow to the head with a wooden stick. We would like to invite Miss Lin Shi to go with us to the Yamen for investigation. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this! Tian Yi actually made a murder case to frame the Anbang Marquis Mansion.

Lin Shi was very angry: "It's pure nonsense, although I had a fight with Tian Yi's people yesterday, I didn't hit anyone on the head at all, how can I die?" ”

The head catcher said: "Miss Lin Shi, the family members of the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion all said that you beat it." And the onlookers also said that you injured a lot of people, and the speed of the shot was too fast, and you couldn't see where the blow was. ”

Lin Qing was also anxious at this time, and hurriedly said: "My sister definitely didn't kill anyone, I know her martial arts, if you don't want people to die, you will definitely not be able to die." ”

The head catcher said: "We are just ordered to arrest people, please cooperate, whether to kill people or not will be judged." ”

The princess hurriedly said: "You are presumptuous, I ......"

Ji Qiao was afraid that the princess would reveal her identity and would not help the case, so she immediately stepped forward to cover her mouth and said to Lin Shi: "Miss, you go with them first, and then we will find a way to prove your innocence." ”

Lin Shi saw Ji Qiao say this, so she had to follow the catch and leave.

But the princess was so angry that she kicked Ji Qiao and scolded: "You are a dead man, and you will also do something to me." ”

Ji Qiao couldn't care about the pain, and immediately explained: "Princess, I'm afraid that if you tell your identity, it won't affect you well." You hurry back to the palace now, let the king send an upright person to try the case, and then take care of my young lady by the way. ”

"Then you don't have to move your hands and feet, just say no." But after the princess finished speaking, she immediately returned to the palace with a dozen people.

Ji Qiao said to Steward Chen again: "You quickly send someone to inform the master and the lady to come back." ”

Steward Chen replied, "I have arranged for someone to go just now. ”

Ji Qiao admires it very much, Steward Chen is indeed experienced! So he said, "You take a few people with me to check the fight now to see if there is any blood, but don't destroy the scene." ”

......

However, the news soon spread.

The palace of the king of Qi, on the court.

Some people are starting to talk about it:

"Your Majesty, this murder case was a street brawl to death, the matter is very bad, we must find out the real culprit and severely punish the perpetrators."

"This daughter of An Banghou is very good-looking, why is she so heavy-handed!"

"Yes! I heard that this woman wanted to break the marriage contract and engage in some kind of competition to recruit relatives, so she fought with the people of the Marquis of Xuanwu. I didn't expect the means to be so brutal! ”

"I heard that this woman often goes to the Qinglou to beat men."

King Qi knew that his daughter was involved in this matter, for fear that she would also be involved, so he said with a straight face: "Don't talk about it, let's talk about it after we find out the truth of the matter." Wang Sikou, this matter involves An Banghou, you will personally supervise it, and you must find out the real culprit. ”

Si Kou was the highest judicial officer of the country during the Warring States Period, in charge of criminal prisons, pickets and other matters, and was divided into big and small Sikou. The Qin and Han dynasties replaced him with Tingwei, and later generations took Da Si Kou as another name for the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and Shi Lang was called Shao Si Kou.

"Obey the order, Weichen will definitely enforce the law impartially and find out the real culprit." Wang Sikou stepped forward to receive the order.

One of the ministers had a slightly different opinion: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is no need to investigate this murder case, I heard that it was the son of the Marquis of Xuanwu who did it first, and the daughter of the Marquis of An Bang belonged to legitimate defense." What's more, it was still a group beating, and it wasn't necessarily An Banghou's daughter who shot to death. ”

In fact, this person didn't really want to help Lin Shi, but he was thinking in his heart: In order to recruit relatives for this competition, I spent 30,000 yuan and signed up 30 times, if something happens to this woman, won't my money be spent in vain!

The other ministers, more or less, signed up for the competition to recruit relatives, so they followed:

"Yes, the subordinates fought to death, and it has nothing to do with the master. It's better to let An Banghou's daughter go to the family of the deceased to apologize, and then pay some money. ”

"Yes, it's purely a mistake, it's better to leave it at that."

......

King Qi also wanted to make a big thing small, so he asked, "Wang Sikou, what do you think?" ”

Wang Sikou insisted on investigating: "Your Majesty, you must do things according to law, this murder case must be strictly investigated, and you can't do it so hastily." ”

Although King Qi hesitated a little, he still nodded in agreement: "Wang Sikou will go and investigate this case thoroughly." ”

After the dynasty was dispersed, the princess immediately found King Qi and said urgently: "Father, Xuanwu Hou wronged us and killed people, you have to make the decision for me." ”

King Qi replied: "It's just a dead person, how can I come forward!" ”

The princess said angrily: "I am also involved in this matter, if it is found on my head, my father will not be able to explain it!" ”

The king of Qi asked, "Are you sure you didn't kill anyone?" ”

The princess replied firmly: "Absolutely not! ”

King Qi immediately said with reassurance: "What are you afraid of? When adjudicating a case, you should find a way to get involved and not let people cheat for personal gain. ”

"Okay."

The princess immediately went to find Ji Qiao.

After Ji Qiao knew what King Qi meant, he said, "Princess, let's rush to the scene of the trial immediately. ”

......

Unexpectedly, Wang Sikou didn't come himself, but sent a little Sikou and called Zhou Zuo's people to be responsible for hearing the case.

After the plaintiff, witnesses, and Lin Shi were all brought up.

Zhou Zuo directly slapped the wood and said loudly: "Plaintiff, what are your grievances? Hurry up. ”

The plaintiff immediately said: "My lord, I have a good relationship with the deceased, and they are both members of the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion. The deceased was an orphan with no relatives and family members, and had lived in the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion for a long time. When we clashed with Lin Shi yesterday morning, the deceased received a heavy blow to the head and died last night. ”

Ji Qiao said in his heart: It seems that this is to make the case impossible to investigate, because the deceased's life is in the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion, and there are no family members. So no outsiders know his identity, and it's even difficult to find someone to confirm the body!

Unexpectedly, Lin Shi said loudly at this time: "You are a bloody spurt." ”

Zhou Zuo immediately shouted: "Hugh has to shout, whether you kill someone or not, I will give you justice." ”

The princess immediately said unceremoniously: "The official is not big, but he is so majestic." ”

Because the princess was still dressed as a man at this time, Zhou Zuo didn't recognize it, in fact, even if it was a woman's clothes, he might not be able to recognize it, because he rarely had the opportunity to see the princess, so he counterattacked: "Who are you?" is so bold that he dares to insult his official in court and disrupt the judiciary. ”

The princess turned blue with anger and was about to get angry.

Ji Qiao didn't want to make a fuss at this time, but it didn't help the case, so he immediately went to pull the princess's clothes, and whispered, "Bear with me." ”

Zhou Zuo saw that the princess was silent, so he didn't care about her anymore, but said very contemptuously: "A woman, with a marriage contract, actually engaged in a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, and beat people to death. ”

Ji Qiao was also angry at this time, but he still endured it, and said calmly: "My lord, as soon as you are in charge, what is your intention to say this in the court?" This is clearly biased in favour of the plaintiff. ”

Zhou Zuo also felt that it was wrong, and hurriedly said: "I made a mistake for a while, continue to try the case, and now the witness will provide testimony." ”

The confessions of the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion are: The deceased had a conflict with Lin Shi and was hit to death by a wooden stick.

At that time, the onlookers said: Lin Shi hit people too fast, and they couldn't see whether they hit the head or not.

Zhou Zuo asked these people again: "If Er and others identify the body, can you be sure that the deceased was present that day?" ”

These people all replied: "There were more than 80 people in the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion who participated in the brawl that day, and we can't remember which people participated. ”

Zhou Zuo asked the arrester again: "Tell me about the scene of the crime?" ”
