Chapter 124: Flaws

As soon as he heard that Yue Su had let him live in Xingyuan for a few days, Xu Xiangzhi was almost slumped in his chair. This is Lord Yue's territory, Lord Yue asked you to stay, what's the use if you don't want to stay. The prefect of Huzhou was also a little stupid, and now he also understands that Lord Yue said that it was a banquet, but in fact, there was no good banquet. But it's too late to understand now.

In the following days, Xu Xiangzhi could only live until the governor's office. Yue Su sent people to Hangzhou to obtain the file of Cheng Zhongwei's case from the Yamen, the envoy of the Imperial Inspectorate. What is the identity of Lord Yue, as soon as the text arrives, the Nickel Division Yamen is not allowed to do anything immediately, transfer out the file, and hand it over to Lord Yue.

The contents of this file are exactly the same as those recorded in the Criminal Department. The content is probably like this, supervising the imperial history Wang Jiong Shen Cheng Zhongwei was corrupt and bribed, and he was careless of human life, and the court appointed the governor of Zhejiang to investigate the case in detail with the Yamen of the Nickel Division. During the court trial, Xu Xiangzhi, a local magnate, accused Cheng Zhongwei of extorting 800 taels of silver. Unexpectedly, the governor Yamen sent people to search Yin, but found 800 taels of silver in Cheng Zhongwei's house. In addition, there are also prison guards Chu Bo and Gao Xiang who testified that Cheng Zhongwei was careless about people's lives and instructed them to crush to death a Baiyin surnamed Wu Shang by pressing a sack. Cheng Zhongwei confessed to these accusations, signed and detained, and finally submitted them to the Yin Criminal Department, where he was sentenced to beheading. The female dependents of the family were sent to the Department of Education.

The case file is done in a stable manner, and there is no article to be seen. However, in such cases, if you want to find out the clues, it is actually very simple, as long as you find out the person with the name and surname. Wang Can and the former governor of Zhejiang are figures with heads and faces, and if you want to find them, you only need to send someone to the ministry to find out.

This case has been more than ten years ago, and it seems that it is very difficult to overturn the case, but for Lord Yue, it is actually very easy, as long as you find out the two or three people in the file.

Chu Bo and Gao Xiang are both jailers in the government prison, and if the two of them can be found, as well as the family member named Wu Shang, the case should be clear.

The jailer is just a small official in the yamen, they are all locals, and unless they move out, it is easy to find them. Yue Su immediately set off and went to the Huzhou Mansion, and as soon as the prefect heard that Lord Yue personally came to the door, he hurried out to greet him and invited Yue Su to enter the main hall.

Yue Su went to the main hall and sat down, and said straight to the point: "Show the roster on the government office to the governor." ”

"This ......" The prefect was very surprised by Yue Su's request to enter the door, but he didn't dare to say 'no', as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Yue Su's face sink, and immediately changed his words and said: "Someone, go and greet the master bookkeeper and ask him to take the roster from the yamen." ”

"Yes.

Update" A servant agreed, and hurriedly ran to the back office to ask for the main book.

As soon as the master book heard that the governor wanted to see it, he dared to take half a step slower, and hurried to the lobby with the roster.

The roster was presented to Yue Su. Yue Su just nodded slightly, and began to flip through it. Regarding the list of quick arrests and poor officials in the government office, Yue Su just glanced at it hastily, and quickly turned to the page of the prison.

The page begins with three names, first the cell boss, and then the two cell heads who are in charge of the day and night shifts. Seeing these three names, Yue Su was stunned for a while, and then secretly rejoiced. Because, the two small cell heads in charge of the day shift and the night shift are: Chu Bo and Gao Xiang.

Unexpectedly, after these two boys testified against Zhongwei, they did not leave, and continued to work as errands in the government office, thinking that it was determined that this case had become a death case, and no one would pursue it in the future.

A smile appeared on Yue Su's face and said, "Huzhou Mansion, this governor wants to see two people now. ”

"I wonder who the adults want to see?" The prefect of Huzhou hurriedly asked. But there was obviously a hint of nervousness in his tone.

"The two cell heads in the government prison, Chu Bo and Gao Xiang." Yue Su said directly.

"This ......" Huzhou prefect's face was embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Yue Su stared coldly at Huzhou Mansion.

"This ...... Mainly these two people... I'm afraid I'll never see you again...... They were ...... the day before yesterday It's all dead......" Huzhou Governor said embarrassedly.

"What? They're all dead! Yue Su raised his eyebrows and asked loudly, "How did they all die?" Has the murderer ever been caught? ”

"Yes...... It's self-killing ......," Huzhou replied.

"Nonsense! For no reason, why kill yourself? Yue Su asked angrily.

"This ...... This subordinate doesn't know ...... either."

"Good! Then tell me how the two of them killed themselves and brought the body to the Governor, and the family of the deceased with him. The autopsy record will be taken to the Governor immediately! Yue Su said.

"Both of them hanged themselves. The corpses are now at home, ready to be buried, and the lower officials will send someone to carry their corpses. That one...... Hurry up and call the staff to present the autopsy record to Lord Yue. ”

The Huzhou Mansion ordered repeatedly, and without much effort, a pretence arrived first, and the autopsy records were presented to Yue Su. The autopsy records are very clear that the two deceased were killed by suicide, and there were no injuries on their bodies except for a strangulation mark on their necks.

After Yue Su read it, he only put aside the autopsy report and waited for the deceased's body and family members to arrive. After a while, the sound of crying came from outside, presumably the family of the deceased. Sure enough, a moment later, the servant carried the coffin Yincai into the door, and next to the coffin Yincai, there was a middle-aged Yincai, an old woman and a child. All three of them wept loudly, not pretentious at all.

When he came to the lobby, the coffin was put down, and the servants bowed to Yue Su, "Back to the governor, Chu Bo's body has been carried here." These three people are Chu Bo's family members, one is Chu Bo's old Yinniang, one is his wife, and the other is his son. After speaking, a messenger looked at Chu Bo's old Yinniang and said, "The one sitting above is the Governor Yue, don't kowtow quickly." ”

As soon as the old lady and the middle-aged Yinren heard that it was Lord Yue, they hurriedly pulled the child to kneel down and kowtow. "The people knock to see Lord Yue'......"

Yue Su nodded slightly and said, "Get up and talk back." ”

"Thank you, Lord Yue......"

After the three of them got up, Yue Su said: "This governor wants to ask Chu Bo for questioning because of a case, and I don't want him to die. The Governor now wants to ask you, how did Chu Bo die? ”

"My husband hanged himself ......," the middle-aged Yinren cried.

"Why did he hang himself for no reason? What did I say to you before I died? Yue Su asked.

"What...... Didn't say anything...... The people don't know why the husband can't think about it......" said the middle-aged Yinren crying.

"Hehe......" Yue Su chuckled lightly and said: "My husband killed himself in an unknown way, and you, the wife, don't even know anything, this governor really doubts that it is Chu Bo who conspired with others to kill him." ”

"Your Excellency...... Wronged, sir...... The people did not conspire with anyone to kill their husbands...... I also hope that the old man of the blue sky will be ...... "The middle-aged Yinren was startled when he heard Yue Su's words, and hurriedly shouted anxiously.

The old woman was also anxious, and then cried and shouted, "My lord Ming Yinjian...... My daughter-in-law is virtuous and virtuous...... Never do such a thing...... We really don't know why my son killed himself......"

"Whether or not you will do such a thing is not up to you. When the governor was serving as a county magistrate in Yangshuo, he visited an old case in which his wife collaborated with outsiders to kill her husband. And the mother-in-law was still kept in the dark and kept speaking for her daughter-in-law until the case was revealed, and she did not repent. You woman, before I ask you, I don't have the right for you to speak here, you just stand honestly. ”

Speaking of this, Yue Su stared at the middle-aged Yinren and asked again: "When did your husband die, when did he kill himself, which room in the house, and how long after he died, it's better to tell the truth." ”

"My husband died the day before yesterday, but he killed himself in the hall at night, and the little yin people got up at night to relieve themselves, and when they saw that their husband was not on the bed, they went out to look for him, and saw that his husband was dead in the hall." Yinren said with tears and tears.

"Your husband has an old mother, a wife and children, and before he killed him, he didn't explain anything. Don't you doubt it at all as a wife? Yue Su asked flatly.

"This ......" The middle-aged Yinren's face was difficult to look at, it can be said that she was completely stopped by Yue Su's words.

"As the wife of the deceased, your husband killed himself innocently, and it is incredible that you can still be so calm and not pursue the reason. Even if you are unable to find out the reason, you will inevitably have doubts in your heart, as soon as you come to court, you and your mother-in-law seem to think that your husband should die, no matter how much the governor asks, you don't even cry out for him, and you don't question your husband's death in the slightest, and ask the governor to find out the true picture on your behalf. This is strange, although the governor does not dare to boast of Qingtian, but the surname of Baiyin in the world has given the reputation of the governor Qingtian, but whenever he sees this governor, once he is wronged, he is bound to speak out, how can he be like you. The Urnayin, an outsider in Bentui, thinks that the death of your husband is a bit strange, but you, as his wife, do you think that Bendu suspects that you are an outsider who murdered your husband? If you hadn't murdered him, there would have been only one case, and that was before you knew that your husband was going to kill himself. Don't blame Ben Du for not giving you a chance, if you tell the truth now, Ben Du can be extrajudicial and wait for your life, otherwise, don't blame Ben Du for being unkind to you. The torture tools on this governor's hall have never been vegetarians, don't say that you are a yinren, even if you are a Jiangyang thief and an iron-beaten man, when you arrive at this governor's hall, you must obediently confess! ”

Speaking of this, Yue Su picked up the startling wood and slammed it hard, "Smack!" Then he shouted loudly: "If you don't recruit at this moment, when will you stay?" ”

Seeing Yue Su's imposing person, the middle-aged Yinren was so frightened that he shuddered, and unconsciously knelt on the ground. Thinking that she was just an ordinary folk woman, where had she seen this battle, her courage was already frightened, she knelt on the ground and trembled, and said tremblingly: "Don't be angry, adults...... Little Yinren, Little Yinren...... Willing, willing to recruit...... It's just that...... Just after the confession...... I hope that the adults will be able to save ...... My family's life ......"
