Under the orange firelight, Lu Dongzhi's contemplative face was reflected.

Dong Yuanchang's case Lu Dongzhi thinks that it couldn't be simpler, because from the maid found out that Dong Yuanchang had killed someone, to the time when many passers-by broke into the building to rescue the maid to control Dong Yuanchang, the scene he saw was the same, Dong Yuanchang was holding a bloodstained dagger, and there was a female corpse lying at his feet, and the wound on the abdomen of the female corpse was also the dagger in Dong Yuanchang's hand.

But now that his son has appeared, you have to give him time to overturn the case, if the case is really strange, if not, it will be tantamount to a waste of effort!

Now that Jiangnan is about to become a pot of porridge, there are hungry victims everywhere stealing and robbing, and the yamen is obviously short of manpower, Lu Dongzhi really doesn't want to deploy manpower for Dong Ce.

After thinking about it, Lu Dongzhi still decided to give Dong Ce a chance, anyway, the official document would not be submitted until the end of the month, and the Dong family had money, after he helped him, he couldn't turn over the case and he didn't lose anything, if he did, then he would make a lot of money!

The most important thing is that Dong Yuanchang pleaded guilty by himself, and the case turned over has no conflict with his reputation as Lu Dongzhi.

Thinking about it, Lu Dongzhi nodded and said, "Okay!" I am thinking of your filial piety, and I would like to give you a chance, but only for three days, if you can't find out after three days, you will probably have to follow your father to the dungeon to wait for the sentence, as for the weight of your crime, it depends on how the adults of the court judge it, but I remind you that if you don't use the manpower of the yamen, you will at most receive some rods. ”

Ning Chao's charge of overturning the case seems to be serious, but it can mobilize the power of the entire yamen for you!

The reason for this situation is that Ning Taizu also squatted in prison back then, but unfortunately the ability of the person who overturned the case for him was limited, and he was also hacked by the enemy, if he hadn't made friends with a group of green forest heroes, risked his life to rob the law field before his execution, and rescued him, there would be no Daning Dynasty now.

However, it was precisely because Ning Taizu was cornered that he embarked on the road of rebellion, and in the final analysis, no one knows whether this is good or bad!

After becoming the emperor, Ning Taizu was naturally worried about this matter, hoping that there would never be a similar unjust case in the world, and perhaps he would not want the next one to appear!

In short, Ning Chao is very open-minded and reasonable about overturning the case, but the consequences of failing to overturn the case are also scary enough, so that many people who have minor grievances dare not beat the drum easily.

However, Rao is so, for some relatives who were sentenced to death, there are still many people who risk death to beat the drum, although it is rumored that some people died with their relatives, but more relatives were rescued, for this reason, the yamen of the state capital of the Ning Dynasty have expanded the number of fast catchers, such as the number of fast arresters in Jinling Mansion is as many as more than 300 people!

Thirty people in a class, one head in one class, one in three shifts or more, a total arrest, and another special government to assist, but their boss is not the prefect, but directly to the Tingwei Criminal Arrest Hall in Luoyang Mansion, the central capital, and has the power to directly upload the case file without the approval of the prefect.

"Thank you, Lord Fucheng!" Dong Ce clenched his fists heavily, and then, under Lu Dongzhi's arrangement, he went to a side room in the side courtyard and checked the case file brought by the officer.

The things recorded in the dossier were basically the same as Dong Ce's understanding, and after reading it, he asked a servant who assisted him: "Brother Cha, I don't know if I can see the murder weapon below?" ”

"This is naturally possible, but not at this time, because I don't have the key to the house where the murder weapon is stored, and there are too many victims recently, and the torture and arrest room is understaffed, and even the vigil has been transferred out, so I'm afraid I will have to wait for the arrest of the day shift to come tomorrow."

"Oh, that's only tomorrow!" Dong Ce got up when he heard this, and then gave Liu Fu on his side a look before leaving, while Liu Fu secretly stuffed two taels of silver to the official with great interest, and then left with the young man.

When Dong Ce returned to Dong's mansion and saw the old man squatting at the door, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

"Grandpa, it's the third watch, why haven't you gone to sleep yet?" Liu Fu was in a hurry when he saw the old man.

Liu Sanzhong suddenly woke up from half asleep when he heard this, he didn't pay attention to his grandson at all, but directly threw himself in front of Dong Ce, and it seemed that he was about to kneel down for him.

Dong Ce hurriedly grabbed the old man who had sold his life to the Dong family, and said with a wry smile: "Why are you bothered, I can't complain about you for this matter!" ”

"Young boy, the old man is ashamed of the old lady, and I can't stand you!" Liu Sanzhong's tears flashed, and he sighed heavily: "It's me who didn't take care of you, and I never really persuaded the master, so that the master never looked at the young man with his eyes, and now this incident has happened, how do you face the old lady after you tell me to go down!" ”

"Even if you persuade him, will he be able to listen!" Dong Ce rarely showed a sarcastic face!

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the Dong family seems to be rich, but it is on the verge of being broken!

When the old lady was there, he was in charge of the affairs of the Dong family, and even the marriage of the two brothers of the Dong family was handled by him, which caused Dong Yuanchang and his beloved woman to not be together, and what was even more unexpected was that when Dong Yuanchang got married, the woman he loved was martyred!

Since then, Dong Yuanchang has been indifferent to his wife, and Dong Ce has been coldly looked at by him, and the gap has become bigger and bigger, until Dong Ce's mother is depressed, Dong Yuanchang seems to have woken up a little, but freezing three feet is not a day's cold, how can Dong Ce's frozen and broken heart be warm.

At this time, Dong Yuanchang knew that family affection was precious, however, it was ridiculous that he did not work hard to save the relationship with his son, but instead thought of marrying again, but Dong Ce at that time actually said bluntly, as long as that woman enters the door, you will collect my body tomorrow!

Such hateful words, although Dong Yuanchang did dispel the idea of remarrying, he still secretly hid Jiaojiao outside!

Perhaps, this is the reason why Dong Ce couldn't afford to fall ill and passed away quietly!

To tell the truth, what Dong Ce hates the most is people like Dong Yuanchang, but he is not ruthless enough to watch Dong Yuanchang die, this mood is very contradictory and complicated, but because of this, this is human nature!

Stepping into the house, the dim firelight seemed so lonely and cold.

Dong Ce asked Liu Fu to help his grandfather back into the room, and told him not to tell his grandfather about their reversal of the case, otherwise the old man would have to worry about it again.

I sat on the stone bench in the small courtyard alone, thinking back on the experience of coming to this world, for more than a year, the days of brocade clothes and jade food were simple and carefree, but just going out once, it was all changed!

The White Lotus Sect over there has not stabilized, and Dong Yuanchang has fallen into a murder case here, everything came so suddenly, he was a little caught off guard, two lives, but God didn't seem to want to give him a safe and stable life!

The night breeze of early autumn makes people's hearts really cold.

The next day, Dong Ce, who had taken a nap, stepped directly on the carriage to the Yamen.

The Yamen of the Ning Dynasty did not have three classes and six rooms, but there were similar institutions, but some institutions were merged, such as the three classes and six rooms of the Zhuang class and the punishment room, which were unified into the criminal arrest room in the Ning Dynasty, Dong Ce didn't know whether they were advanced or backward, but it was indeed much more convenient for handling cases, similar to a miniature version of the Ming Dynasty East Factory, and what was shocking was that in addition to men, there were actually women!

Fang Shuwei is bright and stunning in a black satin brocade dress, supporting her tall figure like black bamboo, strong and gorgeous at the same time without losing her elegance and beauty, coupled with this female sword eyebrows and starry eyes, white skin and red lips, and her temperament is even more heroic and powerful, making people look like she doesn't look like a female stream at all, but more like a beautiful male god catcher!

"Xiao Mao, what's the matter with that person?" Fang Shuwei grabbed the path, and the young man beside him caught it quickly.

Hearing this, Shi Mao glanced back at the young man sitting in front of the corner table, which was strange, this young man was looking at a dagger at the moment, and his gesture of holding the dagger was very strange, he only pinched the edge of the blade with two fingers, and put it in the morning light through the window to look at it repeatedly.

Shi Mao smiled faintly and said, "Oh, he is Dong Yuanchang's son, and he came to overturn the case for his Lao Tzu." ”

"Dong Yuanchang's son! Didn't Dong Yuanchang plead guilty? What, did you regret it again? Fang Shuwei said strangely, a pair of starry eyes blinked a few times, and said, "Do you know?" ”

Shi Mao shook his head and said: "I also just heard what the official on shift last night said, and the details are not very clear, but I heard that this kid begged Lord Fucheng to give him a few days to investigate the case, alas, you say, isn't it okay to find death!" There were no less than ten people who saw Dong Yuanchang kill people that day! ”

"It's just that I saw the suspect holding the murder weapon and the victim in the same room, not seeing the murder, small arrest quickly, I hope you will pay attention to your words in the future!" With a dissatisfied nag, Dong Ce walked slowly and said to Shi Mao, who was stunned, "Get me some flour." ”

"Hey, I said you called Xiao Catcher? Besides, you need something other than evidence to go to the officials, don't point fingers here, you really are the leader. Shi Mao was immediately upset when he heard Dong Ce call him Xiao Catcher Kuai, and what attention was there.

Dong Ce withdrew his gaze from the dagger, glanced at Shi Mao, and then looked at Fang Shuwei, who was half a head taller than Shi Mao, nodded and didn't say anything, turned around and walked outside.

Fang Shuwei stared at Dong Ce's back curiously, and suddenly reached out and pressed it on Shi Mao's shoulder, looking like a big sister comforting her little brother, and said with a smile: "This guy is very interesting, what is he doing here?" ”

"It doesn't matter what he does, we have a lot of things to do, and we don't have time to pay attention to him." Shi Mao's impression of Dong Ce was extremely bad.

"I'm interested." Fang Shuwei narrowed her starry eyes and smiled.

"Oh, I said eldest sister, you shouldn't have taken a fancy to this kid, right? It's too visionless, men don't rely on appearance, but on talent! Shi Mao muttered sourly.

Although Shi Mao didn't dare to have thoughts about Fang Shuwei, at that time, he saw that the big beauty who was opposite to each other liked other men, and a man would have a pimple in his heart!

No way, the eldest sister once said that if you are looking for a husband, you must find someone taller than her, but this man in Jiangnan is generally only a little taller than him Shi Mao, but the eldest sister is half a head taller than him, trying to find someone taller than her, in Shi Mao's cognition, except for a few crooked melons and cracked dates that the eldest sister can't look down on at all, it seems that this has just appeared as the son of the Dong family!

However, this guy is obviously a son of a rich family, how can he be worthy of their eldest sister!

"What do you say! Begging for a beating, right? Fang Shuwei said, and slapped Shi Mao directly on the back of the head, causing his hat to lean forward.

"Alas, isn't it just talking, as for beating someone, if you are interested, then you will assist him in this case, the little brother will go and get busy first!" Shi Mao straightened his hat and quickly fled.

At this time, outside the house, Dong Ce sat on the stone bench, carefully put the dagger on the stone table, and then took a bowl of flour from the hand of a servant, looked at it and asked, "Is there a mesh sieve?" The finer the better. ”

The official pondered for a moment and said, "There should be, Dong Gongzi wait a minute, I'll go to the kitchen to have a look." ”

Naturally, there is a kitchen in this yamen, and it is still food and shelter, and the official went to half a pillar of incense time, and then ran back with a mesh sieve.

Dong Ce took the mesh sieve and found that the mesh sieve was made of bamboo thread, and the mesh was also very thin, so he nodded with satisfaction.

"Hey, what are you doing?" With a laugh and asking, a woman appeared next to Dong Ce, it was Fang Shuwei, but this woman really didn't behave like a woman, she actually stepped on the stone bench beside him with one foot, stuck her waist in one hand, and leaned her forearm on her knee with the other.
