Chapter 84, doubts, honor to others

The old beggar intermittently recounted the whole case, and judging from the content, the case was not thrilling at all, strange and bizarre.

It seems to be just an ordinary restaurant murder case;

It doesn't seem to involve any protection between officials and officials, collusion between officials and businessmen, and bullying of others;

It seems that there is no need to find Jinyiwei's head to avenge his grievances.

But to say that this case is so ironclad, there is no doubt?

It doesn't seem to be, but it does sound like there are a lot of contradictions.

As the old beggar said, his son was just an ordinary young man in a restaurant, and he had no deep hatred for the guests who came to dine in the restaurant, so why should he poison the guests.

It's not like I'm full!

What was the motive for the killing?

The old beggar's daughter-in-law is about to give birth to a child, a person who is about to become a father, judging from the category of normal psychology, the probability of an antisocial personality is very small, and the son of this old beggar can hardly be believed that he is a psychopath who kills for the sake of killing.

Not to mention, when this old beggar returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, why did he encounter bandits, and almost took the life of the old beggar, and thus delayed a lot of time to go home.

If the old beggar hadn't encountered the changes on the road, and he had rushed back earlier, even if the daughter-in-law heard the bad news and fainted and miscarried, she would not have been left with no one around to take care of her and lose her life.

Speaking of which, this seemingly ordinary restaurant poisoning case does not include the few people who have died in the restaurant, and only three people from the old beggar's family have died for it.

If this is really an unjust case, who is the real culprit?

What is the motive of the real murderer, why do so many guys in the restaurant blame the old beggar's son, is there another reason for this?

The shopkeeper and his wife, who were originally very disgusted with the old beggar, also showed some sympathy at this time.

As grass people, they have no power or power, and they are more likely to empathize.

At this time, after finishing the meal, he stood by and waited for the reaction of Liang Baihu and his group.

Several other brocade guards like Han Lin, Xiao Qi, and Meng Yun became somewhat silent.

Shen Mu listened to the whole process of this case for the first time, and they must have thought of it.

Jin Yiwei is also a human being, and they also have family members and friends, so they probably understand that this old beggar has that obsession in his heart, and he is also thinking: Could it be that his son really died unjustly?

"Shen Mu, you originally asked Ben Baihu to listen to this old man's matter, and now that you have listened to it, tell me what you think first?"

Liang Baihu picked up the chopsticks again, took a bite of food, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, swallowed it, and then looked at Shen Mudao.

"My lord, this old man's matter, it sounds really moving, it reminds Shen Mu of the wronged father, if it weren't for the fact that the adult happened to come to Taiping County and gave Shen Mu the opportunity to investigate the case, maybe Shen Mu would become the next old beggar.

However, there are two sides to the matter, from this old man's narration, this case is indeed full of doubts, but now the boy and the adult have only heard this old man's words.

No matter how bad a one-sided statement is, it will always be a one-sided statement, and the truth or falsity of a matter cannot be determined based on this alone. ”

Perhaps influenced by his parents in his previous life, Shen Mu has always felt that law enforcers should first examine a case from an objective standpoint.

The old beggar was very miserable, and his son sounded as if he might have been wronged, and he found many doubts in the case from the old beggar's words.

However, doubts are suspicious, and before obtaining more information about the parties inside, as a law enforcer, he cannot arbitrarily and subjectively draw conclusions, not to mention, he is not clear about the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, and he does not know which law the specific verdict of the case of murder in a restaurant is based on and how it is sentenced.

"You kid knows the severity." When Liang Baihu heard this, his face stretched a lot, and he nodded approvingly.

The story told by this old beggar is indeed sympathetic and moving, but in Jinyiwei, he has seen more and more cases and people over the years.

Some people are very capable of acting, and it is very easy to say that there is a black one, and some people even dare to use Jinyiwei as a sword.

If Shen Mu, this kid, had a strong sense of justice, and as soon as he heard such a tragic story, he instinctively accepted the content of the old beggar's words first, that is, he was stupid and was led away by the other party.

Just as this old beggar is concerned, Jixi County had already sentenced the old beggar's son to behead at that time, there must be some evidence in hand, and presumably the details of the entire case should be recorded.

Only after reviewing the entire case file can we make a more accurate judgment on this case.

"Xiao Lao'er didn't lie, how dare Xiao Lao'er lie in front of Lord Jinyiwei." When the old beggar heard Shen Mu's words, he was in a hurry and hurriedly made a confession.

"Don't make noise, the adults of the hundred households have their own decision." Han Lin scolded the old beggar out loud.

"Han Lin, how is this Jixi County Order?" Liang Baihu looked at Han Lin and said.

In any case, this case was originally under the jurisdiction of Jixi County, and it was judged by Jixi County, so it couldn't bypass the Jixi County order.

Coincidentally, this old beggar deserves to have a relationship with them, this time, the clue of the Tan Zhen thief monk they checked appeared in Jixi County.

They were going to Jixi County, and now the old beggar's case seems to have become a matter of convenience.

But Shen Mu has only been here for a few days, and he doesn't know anything about the county magistrates around him except for knowing about the officialdom of Taiping County.

Who is the surname of this Jixi County Order?

What origin?

He didn't know what the official reputation was, he really wanted to hear what Han Lin had to say, so he had a preliminary impression.

"Back to the adult's words, Jixi County Ling Rongzhi, Hongzhi six years of Jinshi, Hongzhi nine years to Jixi office, now has been re-elected for four years.

He is a poet and poet, has good knowledge, and has a lot of means to govern the place. ”

"It's been four years since I took office, so in this way, the poisoning case of this old son's restaurant was sentenced by this Rongzhi, doesn't it sound like a fool!"

"That's right, this case is indeed quite strange, and I ask you to decide." When Han Lin learned that this case was adjudicated by Jixi County, he didn't want Jinyiwei to get involved in this case.

Jixi County Ling Rongzhi, this person he has also come into contact, although he is a civil official, between his actions, but quite disciplined, there is no ordinary civil official kind of pedantic stubbornness, receiving people and things, often giving people a feeling of spring breeze, but not bending to welcome, the people under the county rule, it is also kind and easy-going, and it is strictly forbidden for the county officials to oppress the people. Compared with the Wang County Order of Taiping County, this honorable official reputation is better.
