(Maopu Chinese) The Criminal Prison Department is a "road" level judicial institution stationed by the Song Dynasty imperial court, referred to as the "Criminal Division" also known as the "Xian Division" and "Xiantai". Supervise and manage the judicial affairs of the state capital under its jurisdiction, review the state government files, and go to the states and counties at any time to inspect the criminal prisons and impeach the state officials who have failed to perform their duties in the criminal prisons.

Hearing the judgment of the criminal division, Master Le asked, "Tell me the reason!" “

It is inferred from common sense that before death, the hanged person will have a violent struggle due to the pain, the neck strangulation marks will be a little messy, and even the laryngeal bone and hyoid bone will be broken due to the violent struggle of the deceased; Because of suffocation, the tip of the deceased's tongue is usually more obviously spitting, which is also what ordinary people call the appearance of a hanged ghost. ”

After the examination was completed, Xiao Shijin stretched out his hand and pointed to Zhang Zhixian's body, and said to his peers: "Look at the many features on the deceased's body, the face is only slightly bruised and swollen, and there are no messy scars on the neck due to struggle, and the cartilage of the larynx and tongue is not broken, and the eyeballs are not obviously prominent, and there are signs such as tooth bleeding, and the most important suspicion is that the deceased has the residual fluid of the narcotic drug cannabis soup in his mouth, so it can be sure below, The deceased was anesthetized and unconscious and then hung on the beam of the house, and then faked the room as a suicide scene, so Xiao judged that Zhang Zhixian killed him rather than committed suicide! ”

"What Senior Xiao said is extremely reasonable!"

……

"Master......" After hearing this, Mrs. Xu immediately cried, and the two concubines next to her, together with Zhang Zhixian's children, also cried non-stop.

"Yes!" Xiao Shijin arched his hand.

"Wait a while, and then go to the government office after writing the autopsy case file!" Xiao Shijin said.

Zhang Zhixian hanged himself and was murdered, which made Lotte feel more and more incredible, what kind of mystery is hidden behind these 8,000 guan, which will make people dare to assassinate even dignified court officials?

Mrs. Xu wiped her tears and said: "The concubine is a good family, and it is a habit to lock the door. ”

When Lotte said something, all the family members of the Zhang family looked at each other, and their faces showed a look of vigilance.

Without waiting for Mrs. Xu to say anything, Lord Le instructed his subordinates again: "In addition to the Zhang family's children, the wives and concubines, servants, and other cadres are all isolated and placed under house arrest, and the official must inquire one by one!" ”

Calling Tu Si, Lotte instructed: "Let's check with Liu Jinhua, the origin of the concubine in this house that Zhang Zhixian finally included in the house, what kind of person she looks like at home, and what kind of people she has close contact with when she is playing, and then check the origin of the businessman Wang Zuo." ”

returned to the county government and began to investigate the murder case of Zhang Zhixian. Who wanted to kill Zhang Zhixian? What is the purpose of killing Zhang Zhixian, love killing? Vendetta? Lotte was uncertain and at a loss for a while.

After answering the errand, Shakuchi hesitated and said: "Official, the little one interjected, and the little one thinks that what Mrs. Xu said about the last boat accident at sea is mostly false!" ”

Lord Le only knows that the city is the yamen of the imperial court official Li Hailiu, but Lotte also doesn't know much about how the city is done, and someone is looking for an old tax difference to make it clear to himself.

The city bureau was set up in various seaports in the Song Dynasty to manage maritime foreign trade, and its role was very similar to that of the customs in later generations, and it was the organ that managed foreign trade in ancient China.

At the same time, the boarding and inspection of ships returning to the port, in addition to the import and export goods of the implementation of a point system, that is, the tax collection of the commission. The goods are divided into thick and thin colors, and the government draws a number of portions according to a certain proportion, which is actually a kind of city tax in kind. Moreover, the extracted goods must be sent to the capital (also called extraction), and certain goods transported by ship (also known as bomai) are purchased at a specified price. After the lottery and extraction, the remaining goods after Bo buy must still be issued to the public according to the standards of the city and the company, and then they are allowed to be sold elsewhere.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, it was heavily taxed, and Lotte estimated it in his heart and said: "In this way, whether a shipload of goods is in or out, nearly 20% to 20% of the profits are taken away by the city. ”

"How do these shipowners smuggle!" Lotte then asked.

Immediately, the tax difference added, "The government strictly guards against smuggling, and there are often messengers, armor guards, archers, and inspection divisions on the shore." ”

Hearing the sound of the strings and knowing, Lotte will understand: "These armor, soldiers, and errands who patrol the coast, I'm afraid they are also full of oil and water!" ”

The detective of the Imperial City Division stationed in Hangzhou is naturally not a dry meal, and the news that Lotte wants to find was quickly brought back by Tu Si, that Wang Zuo is really a smuggler, and it is the Hufang Wang Abssi who matches Wang Zuo and Zhang Zhixian, and Wang Zuo and Wang Abssi are cousins; It's just that the origin of Zhang Zhixian's concubine hasn't been found out for a while, but I only know that the concubine was indeed sent by Wang Zuo to Zhang Zhixian.

After a tiring day, Master Le planned to go to bed and rest early, but when he heard the words brought back by Tu Si, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and ordered, "Lead the way ahead!" ”
