Chapter 101: Finding a Scapegoat

The case of Long Zixu's murder of his wife proved to be a wrong case, and the truth of the matter has been revealed, Yang Qiuchi was very satisfied, rewarded Hou Xiaoqi and others, told them to go back to rest, and then returned to the county yamen with Song Zhixian and Master Jin.

Song Zhixian didn't say a word all the way, and didn't go to the signing room, and took Yang Qiuchi and Master Jin back to the inner office directly. After the guests and hosts sat down, Song Zhixian still didn't say a word, and looked at the ground in a daze, looking depressed.

Master Jin thought to himself, if Yang Qiuchi can find out about this wrong case, there should be a way, and I am afraid that this matter will have to be solved by Yang Qiuchi in the end. coughed lightly and arched his hand to Yang Qiuchi: "Fang Cai's contemptible words are inappropriate, and I ask Brother Yang to forgive me." ”

Yang Qiuchi returned the salute and said a few polite words.

Master Jin said: "I wonder how Yang Qiuchi knew that this was a wrong case? ”

Yang Qiuchi had already thought about answering this question: "Master Jin once said that I, the prisoner, are also responsible for checking whether the prisoners in the cell have leaked crimes and new crimes, Long Zixu shouted injustice all day long, my head was big, so I asked him what happened, and felt that this matter was a little strange, so he wrote a letter to Master Ma Du Ma casually, so that he had time to help check the whereabouts of the Wang family, but I didn't expect that they really found out." This brocade guard is really amazing. ”

In fact, there was nothing to do with Ma Du here, Yang Qiuchi just used him as a shield in order to hide his identity as the envoy of the Jinyi Guard.

The relationship between Yang Qiuchi and Ma Du, of course, Master Jin and Song Zhixian know very well, this Ma Du has now been promoted to the deputy thousand households of the Ying Tianfu Jinyi Wei Thousand Households, Zheng Wupin, is it not easy to find someone.

Master Jin smiled on his face and asked, "Brother Yang, what do you think should be done about this matter now?" ”

Yang Qiuchi didn't know what kind of accountability the officials of the Ming Dynasty would be held accountable for handling wrong cases, but now he has heard a lot in society, the judges have no real reading ability, the collegial panel, the trial committee, the trial is not judged, the judgment is not tried, everyone is responsible for the mistake, no one is responsible, and the unlucky ones are stabbed by the media to the whole country, and there will be a few scapegoats with no background who come out to be the culprit. And most wrongful convictions will not be investigated for any practical significance. As for what will happen to this Ming Dynasty, he doesn't know. However, what he was concerned about now was who the bones were, whether they were murdered, and who murdered them.

Since Master Jin asked, Yang Qiuchi remembered the handling of wrongful cases in modern society, so he said: "Since this case is a wrongful case, we must immediately release Long Zixu and do a good job in the aftermath compensation......"

"Aftermath compensation?" Master Jin couldn't figure out what that word meant. In ancient China, the king and the government only enjoyed power and did not bear legal responsibility, and if the wrong case was judged, it was just released, and the criminal still had to be called the master of the blue sky, kowtow and thank him, whether it was the government or the common people, there was no such thing as a certain amount of compensation for the wrong case.

Yang Qiuchi also found this problem and explained: "Long Zixu has been wrongly locked up for half a year, and there is always resentment, if he talks nonsense everywhere......"

"Yes, yes, yes! Brother Yang said very much, and wanted to give him some silver to gag his mouth. Master Jin nodded again and again.

Song Zhixian sighed at this time: "Hey~!" Blocked, blocked his mouth, how to plug it, blocked the mouth above? ”

Master Jin sighed: "Yes, this case has been approved by Ning Guofu and has been reported." So many people know about it, how to block it? After thinking about it, he asked Yang Qiuchi: "Brother Yang, do you think it is possible for Mo Douqiao and the Wang family to deliberately find a white bone to frame Long Zixu, so as to get rid of Long Zixu, so as to achieve the two of them?" ”

Yang Qiuchi had already thought of this and shook his head: "Impossible, because this white bone died at least more than two years ago, and the two of them eloped a year ago." They couldn't have killed a man or a body to bury them, and a year later the two had escaped. If they were to be framed, they should have done so at least two years ago, and if they did, they wouldn't have to elope to a foreign land. The time is not right, and it is not reasonable. ”

Master Jin nodded: "Brother Yang's analysis is very reasonable. But now I'm afraid that the only way is to report to the above, saying that in order to achieve the goal of occupying his wife, Mo Douqiao deliberately framed Long Zixu to kill his wife with white bones, resulting in a wrong case. ”

Yang Qiuchi was simply stunned, Master Jin's move was too ruthless, he made a mistake, but he put the blame on Na Mo Douqiao, saying that he deliberately framed him, so that the government would not be responsible, and Song Zhixian and Ning Guofu would be easy to say. However, this Mo Douqiao and the Wang family are not dumb and stupid, once they are convicted of capital crimes, they must be reported for approval, and at that time, they will not be able to help him Song Zhixian. Perhaps, he will be accused of intentional incrimination.

From what Master Jin said just now, it can be known that what Song Zhixian and Master Jin are most concerned about now is not who the bones are and how to solve the case, but their future. If Master Jin's trick works, then Mo Douqiao will probably be miserable. If you are falsely accused, I am afraid that the death penalty will not escape. Of course, I can't watch them frame others like this, but it's not good to refute this practice directly, and it's best to think of other ways instead.

After thinking about it, Yang Qiuchi said to Song Zhixian: "Uncle don't worry too much. The little nephew thinks that if this white bone case can be solved in time before the punishment of the superiors, and the credit will be made up, it may not be a big problem, right? ”

Song Zhixian sighed again: "Master Jin's construction, it is not impossible to suggest, but the risk is too big, Wan, in case of investigation, I am afraid it will not be able to hide it." is still virtuous, the virtuous nephew is reasonable, if that, the white bone case can be solved in time, plus the virtuous nephew helped me solve it some time ago, the two cases that were cracked can make up for the merits, to, at least this black gauze hat can be saved. In this way, everything depends on the virtuous nephew, whether the uncle can cross and overcome this difficulty, but it is all up to you! After saying that, the circles under his eyes turned a little red.

Yang Qiuchi smiled bitterly in his heart, I am not a god, how can I guarantee that I will definitely be able to crack it, I don't dare to make any military orders like some local public security in modern society, saying that "the murder case must be solved", this case is not as good as eating, just open your mouth and pour it in. 100% of the crime solving rate, the ghost believes it, it is hype at a glance.

Now in this white bone case, who are the bones, male or female, how old are they, the cause of death, whether it was suicide or homicide, where is the place of murder, what is the murder weapon, whether the vegetable field is the first scene, etc., all of this is not clear, how dare you say that it can be detected? If you have such a god, then you will directly travel to the sky to become a god.

However, since Song Zhixian trusts himself so much, he still has to be worthy of this trust. Yang Qiuchi comforted: "Uncle don't worry about it first, the little nephew will definitely do his best to solve this white bone case as soon as possible." ”

Song Zhixian stood up and gave a salute: "Thank you, nephew!" Yang Qiuchi hurriedly returned the salute.

After Song Zhixian sat down, he asked, "How to detect?" Xian, does the virtuous nephew have an idea? ”

Yang Qiuchi said: "First of all, I released Long Zixu and investigated him to see if there were any enemies and whether there were any clues about criminals." Then open the coffin for an autopsy to find out the identity of the white bone, and then the investigation can be launched accordingly to look for clues. ”

Song Zhixian looked at Master Jin, and both of them nodded. Song Zhixian said: "Okay, go to the cell first, put the dragon and Long Zixu away, and then open the coffin for autopsy." Mr. Jin, you are responsible for drafting the documents and reporting them quickly, what is the reason for this wrong case - Mr. Jin, do we have any better way? ”

Master Jin thought about it, looked at Yang Qiuchi, and whispered to Song Zhixian: "It's really not good, so I wrote that the old man was untrue for the inquest, and said that the white bone was Long Zixu's lady, and he was convicted of intentional involvement." What does Dong Ong think? ”

Yang Qiuchi was shocked, this Master Jin is too ruthless, looking for scapegoats everywhere, and if he can't frame Mo Douqiao, he will frame himself as a master, this is not good, although he is not an apprentice now, but he can't watch them bully him.

Song Zhixian peeked at Yang Qiuchi, and before Yang Qiuchi could speak, Song Zhixian had already seen Yang Qiuchi's thoughts and waved his hand: "No!" …… That's it, let's put it off for a while, wait for me to think about it, let's go and release the people first. ”

Yang Qiuchi breathed a sigh of relief. Secretly determined not to let them do such nonsense no matter what.

At this moment, the laughter of two girls like silver bells came from outside the living room. One voice was obviously Song Yun'er, but the other didn't know who it was. Yang Qiuchi looked up, only to see Song Yun'er and a girl who was slightly older than her running into the living room hand in hand, laughing.

"Brother~! There you are! Great, we just went looking for you, but we didn't find it, so you hid here. Song Yun'er smiled and pulled the girl, "Brother, let me introduce you, this is my cousin, named Song Qing, I told you last time, brother, you are so good, is my cousin very beautiful?" I kid you not. ”

Yang Qiuchi looked at the girl carefully, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a graceful figure, already showing the charm of a young woman, wearing an emerald green dress, big eyes, a white and tender face with a round face, a shallow dimple, neat little teeth, a clever smile, really a beautiful girl.

Song Qing generously said a blessing to Yang Qiuchi: "Little sister has seen Brother Qiuchi. Yang Qiuchi hurriedly returned the salute, causing Song Qing to giggle: "Brother Qiuchi, I just arrived in Guangde yesterday afternoon, and I heard Sister Yun talk about you last night, and my ears are ...... Hehe, look at it today, Brother Qiuchi is really talented, no wonder Sister Yun always praises you endlessly, hee hee......"

"Okay, you mud doll, you dare to tease me, see how I clean you up!" Song Yun'er stretched out her hand to go to Song Qing. It turns out that this Song Qing is nicknamed "Mud Doll", and it looks like it.

"Help~!" Song Qing laughed breathlessly, running around Song Zhixian and the others.

Song Zhixian was having a big head, and their trouble was even bigger, so Wen said: "Okay! Stop it! ”

Song Yun'er stopped, glanced at Song Qing and smiled.

These two people are really a pair of living treasures, it seems that this Song Qing and Song Yun'er have similar surnames, but I don't know if it's not ordinary and unreasonable.

Song Zhixian said to Yang Qiuchi: "Virtuous nephew, this, this is your eldest uncle - that is, me, my brother's daughter, your eldest uncle died early, stayed, and left this lone seedling, so she, her mother loves her very much, spoils her with her, like something, just like Yun'er, all day long, you know how to make trouble." ”

Song Qing and Song Yun'er looked at each other and smiled again, sticking out their tongues.

"Let's go." Song Zhixian stood up and said.

"Where are you going?" Song Yun'er and Song Qing asked almost at the same time, "I'm going too!" ”

Song Zhixian frowned, there was nothing he could do with these two crazy girls. He snorted and stepped out the door. Song Yun'er and Song Qing followed Yang Qiuchi's side, asking this and that. Between jokes, that little dimple appears and disappears from time to time, which is really cute.

Coming to the cell and sitting down in the squad room, Yang Qiuchi ordered Da Banya and the others to quickly escort Long Zixu out.

After a while, Long Zixu was taken to the class room with handcuffs and leg shackles and a wooden flail around his neck. Yang Qiuchi ordered all the torture instruments of Long Zixu to be unloaded, and then said: "Long Zixu, our county master has already found out that your case is a wrong case. Now you will be acquitted. ”

Yes? Long Zixu was surprised and delighted, called out to the master of Qingtian, knelt and climbed a few steps, kowtowed to Song Zhixian vigorously, and was pleasantly surprised, crying tears and snot together.

Song Zhixian sighed and said: "Long Zixu, get up, you, you turned out to be a meritorious talent, since this case has nothing to do with you, I, I will report to Xuezheng and restore your merits and fame, you can not kneel." ”

Long Zixu called the Qingtian Lord again, crying and kowtowing in thanks.

"Long Zixu, you, the reason why your case was settled and rehabilitated Zhaoxue is all due to Yang and Yang Guan Supervisor, you have to feel good and thank him."

Long Zixu knew in his heart that he had been convicted of capital crimes, and the above had also approved it, so he was waiting to be beheaded, and it was all thanks to Yang Guan Jian that he was able to save his life. In gratitude, he knelt down and crawled over to kowtow to Yang Qiuchi repeatedly.

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly helped him up. Long Zixu burst into tears with excitement and said: "Ashamed, ashamed, I have been in vain for ten years, and in the end I almost died in Huangquan." Thanks to the Warden, I was rehabilitated. Adults can be said to be my reborn parents, who are willing to serve the steward's saddle before and after the horse, as slaves and servants, in order to repay the adults for saving their lives! ”

Yang Qiuchi said: "No, no, no, you are full of poetry and books, and you are a famous talent, how can you be a slave and such a humiliating thing." Never. ”

Long Zixu blushed and couldn't say any more.

Yang Qiuchi said again: "Let me ask you a question first, who did you have a grudge with before?" That is, is there anyone who is likely to frame you? Long Zixu pondered for a while and shook his head: "I am a scholar, my family is poor, and I have no quarrel with others, who will have an enmity with me." ”

Long Zixu has no enemies, and no one will frame him, indicating that this corpse was mistaken for Long Zixu's wife, which is purely coincidental. This poor scholar is really unlucky.
