Chapter 698: Split Corpse
In front of the Jinyi official academy with loaded guns, the officials of Yanzhou Mansion had no room for resistance at all, and the officials of the hundred households threw out a black-framed and red-lettered Beizhen Fusi driving sticker, and this group of people was completely honest.
Xi Dongsheng struggled to get up from the stretcher, and the two Jinyi lieutenants helped him to the side of the pyre, stroking each corpse with trembling hands, the people who were still alive a few days ago had already become stiff and cold corpses at this time, and their limbs were torn apart, some of their hands and feet were cut off, some of their stomachs were broken, and some of their heads were in different places, and their deaths were extremely tragic.
"Shen Laohei, Zhang Tiezhu, Wei Jingang...... You, you died so miserably! Xi Dongsheng's face trembled, and his eyes almost cracked.
But no, judging from the state of the corpse, it is simply tortured and killed, and almost none of them are intact.
It's just a dart, what is the deep hatred and hatred, to make such a hot hand?
Xu Xinyi, the tiger girl who looked at the door, frowned, and asked the master loudly: "What's your name?" Why do you want to burn the corpse, do you want to destroy the corpse? ”
The master's face was full of thief eyes, and he was no longer as flustered as he was at the beginning, and he arched his hand and said: "Mrs. Fushang, the student is Zang Maolin, the famous criminal master of Yanzhou Mansion. Due to the recent return of spring to the earth and the rise of yang energy, these corpses are placed in the open air, for fear that foxes and wolves will bite indiscriminately, and mosquitoes and flies breed and cause plague, so the lord of this mansion takes the lives of the people as the most important and orders the students to burn the corpses. ”
Xu Xinyi was stunned when she heard this, knowing that this person was perfunctory, but what she said was crooked, she didn't know how to refute it.
Zang Maolin was secretly amused in his heart, and he had already seen that the Mrs. Xu in front of him was not inferior to a heroic man, but she was a rough surname, and if she wanted to be reasonable, she would definitely not be the opponent of herself, an old oilman.
According to Zang Maolin's statement, Xun Changfeng, the prefect of Yanzhou, is still a good official who cares about the people and loves the people like a son!
"Nonsense!" Zhang Zixuan walked out of the sedan chair with Qing Dai, the prime minister's gold powder was covered with frost, and stared coldly at Master Zang: "The law of the Ming Dynasty is clearly written, where the official government inspects the corpse of the dead, it must keep the body intact, and those who deliberately destroy the corpse will be exiled to three thousand miles with one hundred rods, and those who burn the corpse will also be exiled to three thousand miles with a hundred rods." So, even if you are worried about causing a plague, you should only dig a pit and bury the corpse deeply, not set it on fire! ”
Zang Maolin was shocked when he heard this, even if he was an official at this time, most of them usually only read the Four Books and Five Classics, except for the famous master of the Ming Dynasty and the officials of the Criminal Department, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple, few people really knew the content inside, why did this young and beautiful lady recite the content backwards?
The gang of officials was frightened when they were arrested, and they grabbed Zang Maolin one by one and asked, "Master Zang, is it really an order from the prefect to burn the corpse?" You can't hurt us! ”
Zhang Zixuan showed a sly smile: "Mr. Zang, I see that you are wearing a corrugated hat, not a square scarf for Xiucai, so you are the 'white-bodied master' who has not even been admitted to the reputation of Xiucai, and I think you sat in the position of the famous master of the criminal name because you are familiar with the name of the sentence?" I guess you can't be unaware of the crime of burning corpses, right? ”
The sweat on Zang Maolin's forehead came down, he really never dreamed of meeting a woman who was more familiar with the name of the sentence than himself, Rao was scheming, and Zhang Zixuan was speechless.
"Master White, tsk has been up and down in the past few decades, and the Tao inside is also very clear," Zhang Zixuan smiled, her deep eyes were shining, and her voice was crisp and beautiful, but in Zang Maolin's ears, it made him tremble more than the impermanence of the soul: "You have already committed the crime of burning corpses, and the Fusi of Beizhen can detain you, if we take you to Yanzhou, guess what Xun Changfeng Xun Prefect will do at this time?" Do your best to rescue you, or do you lose your pawn, or even ...... Finding a way to make it impossible for you to speak? He is a prefect from the two rankings, but you are just a white-bodied master, hehe! ”
Zang Maolin has been up and down for twenty years, and he never dreamed that he would be said to be sweaty by a beautiful woman, but now he is really scared, and said in a trembling voice: "I recruit, I recruit, please don't say it again!" It was all Xun Governor's Mansion who asked me to burn the corpse, and the villain was just acting on orders. ”
The corners of Zhang Zixuan's mouth curled, revealing a teasing smile.
Qing Dai suddenly said strangely: "Hey, Sister Zixuan's smile is exactly the same as Brother Qin!" No wonder the two of them got together, hee-hee. ”
"It's all the same cunning and cunning," Xu Xinyi pursed his lips, and said in his heart that they were the two of them who looked at mung beans - they were right!
Zhang Zixuan's methods were ruthless, forcing Zang Maolin to confess on the spot, and intimidated the officials and arresters, saying that this matter involved a very serious Qin case, so Qin Shaobao and the elite official school of Beizhen Fusi were dispatched to handle the case, and you were deceived by your boss and inadvertently acted as an accomplice, but you were afraid that the future was uncertain.
The crowd was so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged Mrs. for help, and all the news they knew was naturally spit out like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, and everyone turned over and persuaded Master Zang not to be obsessed, and it would be too late to regret his mistakes.
Zhang Zixuan has been in her teens for ten years, but she is not inferior to Xu Wenchang, an old oilman in the officialdom, and immediately ordered the official school to copy the content of the confession on paper, and asked Zang Maolin and the public officials to sign and draw it.
Xu Xinyi stuck out his tongue when he looked at it, and his heart was really worthy of being the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the means of others came up to rectify this master and catch the fast servants, and it was really effortless!
According to Master Zang's confession, of course he knew that burning the corpse was suspected of destroying the corpse, and the burning of the corpse itself was also a violation of the Ming criminal law, but he couldn't help the strong hint of the prefect Xun Changfeng, who ate the master's meal, had to do things for the master, so he had to use the excuse of preventing the plague and led these officials to come and burn the corpse.
As for why Xun Changfeng did this, Master Zang didn't know, his guess was the same as Zhou Dexing, who was responsible for chasing and killing Qi Saihua and Xi Dongsheng, thinking that it was Xun Prefect who was trying to close the case as soon as possible to remove the burden on his shoulders when the external investigation was approaching, so as to get a better test language, so as to get promoted, and at least keep his current position.
"What a faint official!" Xu Xinyi scolded indignantly, like him, he disregarded people's lives in order to keep his official position, which really made people want to slap him twice.
The sound of horses' hooves in the distance, the horse team galloped towards this side, everyone was secretly shocked, Xu Xinyi took the telescope and looked over there, and said happily: "Ha, it's Qin Lin here, he must be surprised when he sees us here!" ”
Zhang Zixuan and Qingdai looked at each other helplessly, I'm afraid this is Miss Xu's ultimate goal.
When Qin Lin saw the situation here, he immediately whipped his horse, the horse ran fast, and when he got to the third girl, he jumped off the horse with a deceptive leg, and said without thinking: "Ha, Miss Xu, you really don't want to be trusted, let you stay on the boat, I want to run to the scene!" ”
The eldest lady of the Wei Mansion is only willing to listen to Qin Lin's words at most in this life, and she is limited to face-to-face, she changed her mind when she turned her back, and no one could do anything about her.
Qin Lin didn't even need to ask, he knew that the idea of coming to the scene must have been taken by Xu Xinyi, Qingdai has always been honest and obedient, Zhang Zixuan also likes to be quiet and doesn't like to move, she doesn't have such a heavy curiosity as Miss Xu - she is a cat at all!
This guy knows that he is murdering me! Xu Xinyi was weak in his heart, pouting and not speaking.
Master Zang and the officials were worried about their uncertain future, but they still couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.
"Brother Qin, don't blame Sister Xu, thanks to her meritorious service today!" Zhang Zixuan pointed to the pyre with a smile: "Let's come a little later, the body will be burned by these guys." ”
Oh? Qin Lin had already seen the pyre, and he was not surprised when he heard it.
Xu Xinyi looked at Zhang Zixuan, but she didn't expect her to speak for herself, but fortunately, she was cheerful, so she said: "It's not only me who has made meritorious contributions, but Sister Zixuan's trial just now is also very powerful, Qin Lin, Miss Ben looks at your ability, and it is similar to Sister Zixuan." ”
Is the sun coming out of the west? Qin Lin was happy, Zhang Zixuan and Xu Xinyi said good things to each other, which is extremely rare.
Qin Lin read the confessions of Zang Maolin and others, and told the case in Jinan Mansion in detail, Zhang Zixuan, Xu Xinyi and Qing Dai were all surprised when they heard that the Dongchang Dart Bureau was killed, and Qing Dai was extremely pitiful Qi Saihua, who was pale, and walked over to comfort this girl who lost all her relatives overnight.
When Xi Dongsheng learned the bad news, he was also inexplicably sad and indignant, his fist smashed the stretcher hard, cracking the wound on his shoulder, and the blood soaked out and wet the bandage, and he didn't care about it.
But Qi Saihua didn't appreciate it, she stood aside with an extremely complicated mood, and her eyes avoided Xi Dongsheng, because what happened in Jinan Dongchang Dart Bureau, especially her father Qi Xiangyun's death in a broken door, proved that there was a traitor inside.
The only one who survived the entire dart game was Xi Dongsheng, and she herself was not a traitor, so who was a traitor?
Qin Lin didn't seem to be in a hurry to answer this question, he walked to the side of the pyre where the corpses were piled up, and looked at the torn corpses thoughtfully: "It's strange, robbing the red dart to kill people, why do you want to cut the corpse into seven or eight pieces, is there any deep hatred?" ”
Qi Saihua said: "Our dart game is about making money in harmony, and we don't like to fight with friends in the green forest road...... Therefore, my father has been playing a dart game for a long time, but he has not formed a deep hatred with anyone. ”
Qin Lin looked at the corpses, because the weather was very cold, these corpses did not decompose, which was convenient for his inspection work.
"Something is wrong," Qin Lin said to himself.
