Chapter 16 Drumming and Grievances

Hu Zhixian was confused and decided the case

Luo Conggang's life hangs by a thread

Aunt Lin pointed out that that night, except for him and the monk, no one else came to her house. Judging from the blood stains on the corner of the deceased's mouth and the injury to the monk's right hand, it can be basically concluded that the monk saw that the daughter-in-law of the Lin family was young and beautiful, so he was bold and tried to **, but the daughter-in-law of the Lin family had a strong personality and refused to obey until death, biting the monk's right hand, the monk was angry and ashamed, so he covered her to death. Afterwards, he fled in panic, but the sky had eyes, and the monk fell to his death, which was also deserved. And he went in and out with the monk, and was identified as an accomplice to the murder.

Liu Lan, the Marquis of the Pavilion Gate, continued to narrate the original story of the murder.

In prison, the young man was suddenly stupid, and his life was at stake, which was amazing. Just explain the matter clearly. His name is Luo Conggang, thirty-two years old, a native of Longwangdang, Hebin County, Jiangzhou, and now a tea doctor in a suburb of Lin'an called Yijiangnan Hotel.

Not far from Lin'ancheng, I met the monk on the road, I didn't know him before, because I was from my hometown, so I started talking. His legal name is Jueshi, and he is thirty-six years old at Chinese New Year's Eve, and he is a monk at Huide Temple in Yuezhou. I went to Jiangzhou to give a lecture at the invitation of the head of Jiahui Temple. Therefore, the two walked together. Who knows, when he was less than a day away from home, there was a murder.

After staying at Lin's house that night, I slept too much because I was too tired. I don't know what the monk Jueshi did and what happened to the Lin family. Naturally, he is not an accomplice to murder.

In the early morning of that day, it was also the monk Jueshi who woke him up, and before he went out, he wanted to thank Aunt Lin and say goodbye. The monk didn't let him, so he dragged him away in a hurry. At that time, he was a little puzzled, seeing that the monk looked flustered, he also felt abnormal, and he fell down before asking.

Hu Zhi County, Hebin County, interrogated Luo Conggang:

"You don't admit to killing people together with Jueshi, and you blindly say that it has nothing to do with the death of the Lin family's daughter-in-law, what do you use to prove it? Just talk to yourself with your red mouth and white teeth? Aunt Lin saw with her own eyes that you had a very close relationship with the murderer monk Jueshi, and obeyed him, and the two slept together, the thief and the bald donkey got up in the middle of the night and went to the main house to rape and kill, how could you know nothing about such a big movement? ? Besides, he was bitten on his right hand, you can always see it, so you didn't ask why? ”

Luo Conggang replied: The monk Jueshi is older than me, has walked the rivers and lakes for many years, has seen a lot of knowledge, and walked all the way, I really listened to his arrangement. I thought that he believed in the Buddha, and he must have made good connections and had compassion for him, but he didn't know that others had the heart of a beast and did such a hurtful thing. What he did that night, I fell asleep and didn't know anything. I swear to the heavens that there is no lie. You think, the aunt of the Lin family kindly took you in, let you drink hot water, and you can lie down and rest, and you don't ask for money, what a good family! If you don't repay the kindness of the Lin family, but you do bad things, it's clear that pigs and dogs are not as good, and I, Luo Conggang, will never do it.

As for the injury on the monk's right hand, I saw it at the time, and I felt strange, and I was about to ask, so I fell into the well. Luo Conggang went on to argue: If I am an accomplice or knowingly and kill someone, how can I not run for my life, but go to great lengths to save people there? That well is in the village, less than a moment's distance from the Lin family, isn't it afraid of people chasing after it?

Zhixian Dao, this is all what you said, who can testify? As for saying that you saved the bald monk, it shows that the two of you are in a group, and you are afraid of leaving him behind and being discovered, besides, you don't know how deep the well is and how injured the monk is.

In this way, the magistrate had no evidence to determine that Luo Conggang was an accomplice or knowing, and Luo Conggang could not prove his innocence, while the plaintiff Aunt Lin insisted that Luo Conggang was also the murderer.

The county government opened the court for interrogation again, but Luo Conggang still refused to admit it. Hu Zhixian was so angry that he ordered the officials to be punished. After the thirty boards came down, Luo opened the flesh from the rigid skin, and still didn't admit it. So the torture was used again, how could the flesh and blood withstand the iron and stone torture tools. In the end, Luo Conggang drew and confessed.

Hu Zhixian closed the case and reported it, and determined that Luo Conggang cooperated with Jueshi to rape and kill a woman from a good family, sentenced to death, and beheaded him after the autumn.

After learning the news, Luo Conggang's father died of illness, and his mother Wang was blind from crying. Just because of the thought of the monk Yu, the two families were ruined.

Liu Ling told Han Yanxuan: Now, Luo Conggang's wife Shen and younger brother Luo Zhigang went to Dengwen Drum Courtyard, beat the drum to voice grievances, and submitted the pleadings to the Criminal Department. However, more than a month has passed, and no one in the criminal department has ever cared about it. This Luo Conggang is the cousin of his mother-in-law Ma, and the dead Luo's father is her maternal uncle. The four members of the Luo family knelt in his house together, crying and shouting to ask him to save people.

With tears in his eyes, Liu Ling said sincerely:

"Master Han, you are my boss, I have worked under you for many years, I know that you are a decent person, righteous and outspoken, and you can't see the poor people being wronged, and you have a deep friendship with the Lord of the Criminal Department, please save the Luo family." I promise that Luo Conggang is a loyal and honest person, and he will never do that unconscionable thing. ”

Now, the emperor's body is not safe, he has not been in the court for a long time, and the yamen have done perfunctory things, so that the government is deserted, and the people's hearts are fluctuating. Brother Liu is an understanding person, and he won't say anything he is not sure about. It stands to reason that this case is not complicated, except for Luo Conggang's tricks, there is no proof that he participated in the killing, but there is also nothing to prove that he did not participate or did not know. The adults are good at observing words and colors, and can catch spiders and ants, and their methods are quite clever. I went to him and asked him to inquire and get things straight. Han Yanxuan thought for a moment and said briskly.

Liu Lan hurriedly nodded in thanks, then took out a box and put it on Han's table, "Master Han, this is a little bit of Liu's heart." ”

Han Yanxuan smiled, "Brother Guangyu, you and I have worked together for many years, have you ever seen me take other people's money for doing things?" To tell you, I never give gifts to others, and I never want other people's things.

Liu Ling thought to himself, you are from a wealthy family, and with the Empress Dowager Wu supporting you, who dares not to buy your account, can ordinary people do this? Then he told him: This is the heart of the Luo family, they ask you to save people.

Han Yanxuan's tone was very resolute, "No matter who it is, no matter how much, don't do it." If you don't take this thing, I won't go to the Criminal Department to find Master Jing!" ”

"Thank you for your kindness, Master Han," as he spoke, Liu Lan patted his chest and swore an oath:

"In the future, wherever there is a place where Liu can be used, Liu will be a filial piety dog and horse, and he will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire."

went to the yamen of the Criminal Department, but the waiter was not there, saying that he was out to handle the case. looked around and saw the boy who was dozing off. He knew that this man was old and would return to his hometown next year. After briefly talking about the case, and finding out the Luo family's paper, Tong Shilang said: Han Gemen rest assured, the Criminal Department will send someone to supervise and handle the case as soon as possible, and the case will be investigated.

Two days later, Jing Shilang returned to Beijing and took the initiative to find him. It shows that he will take people down tomorrow and go straight to the riverside, no matter how to find out the case.

Han Yanxuan nodded, Okay, Brother Zhong Jian will personally go out and will definitely reveal the truth. I was going to go with you to see how you solve the case, learn a few tricks, and maybe use it in the future.

Brother Jiefu said and laughed, you can't go, it's a lot of pressure to go to Jing.

No, I can't go if I want to, so the imperial court sent me to Shinshu on business.

Going to Shinshu? Could it be that the imperial court is going to hold some ceremony there?

No, please ask Xin Youan to go to Fujian to be sentenced, you are a system, don't you know yet?

As soon as I came back, I heard the old boy talk about it, and I came, and I didn't know anything else.

Oh, that's Han's.

Rarely come to this set, but this Xin Jiaxuan is a talent, so many years of idleness, it's a pity.?
