Chapter 378: Mistakes

Then the dossier preserved at the bottom is from the twelfth year of Tianbao to the end of the Kaiyuan Dynasty.

And the file they were looking for belonged to fourteen years ago.

In the twenty-ninth year of Kaiyuan, fourteen years ago, that is, in the twenty-eighth year of Kaiyuan, all the relevant files were stored in the attic on the second floor.

Li Canghai was quite pleased, he thought that these files would be placed indiscriminately, and he didn't want to be placed in such an orderly manner, which made him feel much more relaxed.

Putting down the drawings, Li Canghai took Di Qing up to the attic on the second floor.

Although I knew that the files of the twenty-eighth year of Kaiyuan were placed on the second floor, the files stacked on the rows of wooden shelves still made people dizzy.

Looking at the mountains of dossiers, Di Qing was dazzled for a while, she blinked her eyes, suddenly patted her head, and exclaimed: "Canghai, I suddenly remembered that Sister Xue wanted to teach me to play the piano, so I left first." ”

Li Canghai suddenly rolled his eyes, he looked at Di Qing, and scolded with a smile: "You girl, you said you were going to come to consult the dossier, why are you going to retreat now?" ”

"Hmph, I didn't back down! Sister Xue really wants to teach me to play the piano! Di Qing kept pointing his two fingers, muttering in a low voice: "Besides, I don't know that there are so many files, what year and month will this be found?" I don't want to stay here~! ”

Li Canghai shook his head helplessly, and said, "I knew you didn't have the patience, just look for it myself." ”

Di Qing squinted her eyes, grinned, and said, "Canghai, you are so good to me!" Since you are so good to me, then I will help you investigate Tang Ao! ”

Li Canghai nodded, Di Qing had walked the rivers and lakes after all. Tang Ao's matter really has to be handed over to her.

"Be careful of everything, find any clues. And don't act rashly! Li Canghai admonished.

"Got it!" Di Qing answered and hurriedly left the attic. For fear that if he runs slowly, it seems that he will be caught back by Li Canghai.

Looking at Di Qing's departing back, Li Canghai couldn't help laughing.

Taking a deep breath, Li Canghai sorted out his mood and focused his attention on the rows of wooden frames in front of him again.

In this attic there are thirty or forty years of files, but instead of a normal square order, the shelves are radially circular with the center as the origin, spreading outward in circles.

Each row of wooden shelves has twelve spaces. There is a dossier for twelve months of the year.

Li Canghai casually picked up the files on a row of bookshelves and found that most of them were civil disputes, no matter how big or small, and all the cases brought to the government were recorded, no matter how big or small.

This also made him sincerely admire the rigor of the Datang Prison.

Searching along the arrangement, Li Canghai soon found the bookshelf of the twenty-eighth year of Kaiyuan.

Although these bookshelves are arranged in a circle, fortunately, there are traces to follow, and the middle one is the last year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty. Extending outward in a clockwise circle, the shelf of the 28th year of Kaiyuan is located on the left hand side of the staircase exit.

Each compartment on this shelf is stacked with thick files, roughly counted, about a thousand files.

He alone. Flipping through them one by one, it's obviously unlikely.

Li Canghai stood in front of the shelf and carefully recalled what Di Ying said.

Di Ying did not specify the specific month. But he said that after the Qin family was destroyed. The body quickly stinks, which indicates that it was hot at the time. It's the height of summer.

The hottest month of the year is the Futian after the summer solstice, which is the sixth month of the lunar calendar.

Thinking of this, Li Canghai looked at the lattice with the word 'Wei' written on it without hesitation.

These grids are arranged in the order of the twelve earthly branches, and among the twelve earthly branches, Yin is the first month, Mao is February, and so on, June is Wei.

Li Canghai took all the files down, then sat on the ground and began to flip through them one by one.

On the day of Bingshen, the pig killer in the west market lost three taels and five coins of silver, which was verified to have been stolen by his eldest son and sold in the gambling house .......

On Bingchen Day, the Tibetan merchant died in Luohe, and it was verified that his servant was greedy for his money and killed him with an iron weapon, the wound was located in the back of the head, and the murder weapon was .......

Ding Chou Day, Ding Hai Day .......

Li Canghai carefully flipped through the dossier and did not let go of a word.

Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the dossier he was holding.

On the day of Yiyou, he opened a court in Luoyang Mansion, and together with Dali Siqing, the official department Shangshu, and the imperial historian, they tried the case of Huaihua general Qin Fu's treason with the enemy. After three days, a number of personal and physical evidence were presented, and the evidence was conclusive. The case was closed by confessing to the crime.

After reading it, Li Canghai suddenly frowned.

General Huaihua collaborated with the enemy and treason, what a big deal? The summary of the case in Luoyang Mansion is only a few dozen words, which is simply too hasty.

And what puzzled him the most was that he searched through all the files and did not find a closing statement.

However, whenever a case is heard, there must be a closing statement.

The first is to record the course of the case, and the second is to keep the case record.

This is why every yamen will be equipped with a master, and the master's main responsibility is to record the entire case, from the occurrence of the case to the trial to the conclusion of the case.

When the case is concluded, this statement must be signed by the master and the adjudicator before the case can be truly concluded.

It can be said that the closing argument is the best presentation of a case.

Li Canghai couldn't figure it out, even the grandmother of the Wang family lost a dog, and Luoyang Mansion, which would clearly record such a small case, why did there be such an obvious mistake in such a serious case?

Even if there is no closing statement, the record of the case should not be so hasty.

There are only dozens of words, and even why the witnesses and physical evidence are not recorded, this kind of completely illogical thing can be thought of with your toes, and I am afraid there is another hidden meaning in it.

"If there is no conclusive evidence, it is impossible to conclude the case easily. If Qin Fu was not wronged, why didn't Luoyang Mansion dare to record the trial process? Or is there really something else going on here? Li Canghai frowned tightly and said to himself.

The case file in Luoyang Mansion made Li Canghai feel a little puzzled.

Now that Qin Fu has pleaded guilty to the law, why didn't he record the entire case in the book, but simply said a few words?

Although more than 10 years have passed since this case, from the current situation, it seems to be covered with a veil of mystery, which makes people feel paradoxical.

"General Huaihua, a member of the third grade, actually collaborated with the enemy and treason, and finally ended up beheaded. However, Luoyang Mansion, which participated in the trial of the case that year, did not leave a closing statement. It's a little interesting, this has aroused my curiosity, how did this Huaihua general collaborate with the enemy? ”

After having a direction in his heart, Li Canghai left the attic and came to the main hall of Luoyang Mansion. (To be continued.) )
