Leng Yi was hungry, touched his shriveled stomach, and glanced at the stack of death penalty files on the table, I haven't seen this thing yet, it's past noon now, and I haven't eaten lunch yet. I don't know if the official family has the intention of entertaining themselves to dinner.

He looked back at those palace maids, when he buried his head in watching the folds, he had already changed a batch, probably going to eat, they all had food, but he didn't, he couldn't do work hungry, right?

Go home and eat and come back? For a meal, it was very troublesome, he was hesitating, a palace maid stepped forward with a smile, and said, "Master, can you have an empty meal?" ”

Leng Yi was overjoyed when he heard this: "It turns out that you have prepared a meal?" ”

"Yes! Previously, the official family had instructed that if the eldest lord had not left when he arrived at the palace for dinner, he would send the imperial dining room to serve the meal. Seeing that the eldest master was busy reviewing the folds, the slave maid didn't dare to disturb. ”

"What kind of review, it's just to help take a look. Since you're going to eat it, let's hurry up! ”

"Yes!"

The meal came up quickly, on the coffee table next to it, a few very delicate side dishes, and a small pot of wine.

Leng Yi didn't dare to drink, after all, this was the palace, and it was not good to be drunk.

He finished eating, wiped his mouth, and then read the death penalty file.

A total of two death penalty cases were reported. One was when pickpocketing was discovered, arrested and killed with a knife, killing three people and injuring several others. More than a dozen witnesses at the scene testified, and the injured person made a statement and confessed. This kind of case is basically an iron case, and after reading all the testimonies and confessions, they can all match each other, and they are also consistent with the autopsy and scene investigation. He wrote a review opinion recommending approval of the death penalty.

The other case is a bribery case, involving tens of millions of stolen money, which is also a major corruption and bribery case in modern society. Leng Yi suddenly refreshed himself and looked at it carefully.

The culprit was a high-ranking official, a privy councillor of the third rank of the dynasty, named Feng Zhan. The whistleblower turned out to be Zhao Pu, the prime minister of the dynasty! The facts of the case are also very simple, Zhao Pu received a report that Feng Zhan's home had a large amount of gold from unknown sources. He ordered the palace attendant Li Wei to inspect, and after interrogating Feng Zhan, he confessed to accepting bribes from Li Mei, the deputy envoy of Ayajin. The case was solved. After the preliminary examination of Kaifeng Mansion, it was decided to be decided, and the family property was confiscated. It was reported to Dali Temple and the Criminal Department for review and approval in turn, and finally reported to Emperor Zhao Guangyi.

After reading the recital, Leng Yi thought to himself that if the evidence in this case was sufficient, and he had embezzled and accepted tens of millions of bribes, he should also be sentenced to death. The key is to look at the evidence. The file must be examined in detail, and since torture was legal in ancient times, it is even more difficult to avoid unjust, false and wrongful convictions. It is another sentence of execution, once approved, the head falls to the ground, and there is no chance to redeem it.

There are many files in the previous case, because there are many witnesses to testify, and the file of this case is only a thin one, only the confessions of the defendant Feng Zan and the briber Li Mei, and the search records of gold and silver and other items worth tens of millions of dollars from Feng Zan house, there is no other evidence.

However, the crime of accepting bribes is a one-to-one matter, and no one other than the bribe giver and the bribe taker are generally unknown. Therefore, judging from the evidence of the case itself, it can be regarded as sufficient, and the confessions of the two can also be consistent with each other, including the time of each bribe, the amount of bribes, and the things requested, all of which are consistent with what both parties said.

However, it was precisely because of this unanimity that Leng Yi felt a little uneasy in his heart. Because the details of what the two sides said are too consistent, and the time is several bribes that occurred over the years, the human brain is not a computer, and many things cannot be remembered so accurately and clearly. What's more, these two are both fifty or sixty-year-old people, and their memories are unlikely to be so clear.

Leng Yi put down the file in his hand, pondered for a moment, wrote down his worries, and suggested that the official family personally interrogate the two before making a decision.

After writing it, Leng Yi asked the eunuch in charge to report to the official's house, and he had completed it, so he asked the official family to show it.

After waiting for a while, the official family and Wang Jien came back.

Zhao Guangyi was wearing a casual dress, and said happily: "I can't imagine that this kind of flower also has all kinds of fun, if the flower lady agrees, I will be a florist in her Nanke Temple, hahaha." ”

Zhao Guangyi smiled and walked to the dragon table and sat down, glanced at Leng Yi, and then looked at the folds on the table.

Leng Yi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down to explain the meaning of the marks on the fold. Zhao Guangyi nodded, picked up the must-see folds and looked at them, and briefly flipped through the other folds, and said, "Very good, you distinguish very well, with your review, I have saved a lot of thought." The pen made comments on the must-see folds, and the others were just circled and read, and no longer looked at them in detail.

Subsequently, he picked up the review opinions of the death penalty case written by Leng Yi, read them carefully, and then picked up the recitals of the two death penalty cases and read them, and did not read the files, but pondered for a while, and wrote "quasi-beheading and immediate decision" on the recital of the previous death penalty case. picked up the fold of the bribery case, also picked up the pen and wrote a comment, put down the pen, beckoned Leng Yi to come over, and handed him the fold.

Leng Yi took a look at it, and saw that it was written: "Take Leng Yi to interrogate Feng Zan and Li Mei." ”

Leng Yi hurriedly said: "Did the official family let Weichen interrogate them for the official family?" ”

"Hmmm! Since you're worried about this, it's up to you to handle it. You've read the file and know what to look for. ”

"Wechen understood."

"This matter is not busy, it is not early today, and you have to accompany me to Nanke Temple, that is the most important thing. In addition, if possible, you should draw the scene of me and the flower lady together. ”

Leng Yi hurriedly said: "Weichen obeys the order." However, Wechen needs to check the situation of the painting tools. so that the painting will be carried out at that time. ”

"Good!" Zhao Guangyi took out his mobile phone from his arms, handed it to Leng Yi, and said again: "Give it to me after inspecting the achievements." ”

"Yes!" Leng Yi said: "Wechen is going to go to Wechen's yard to check." ”

"Go ahead!"

Leng Yi came back soon, returned the mobile phone to Zhao Guangyi, and said: "The painting tools are ready, Ming said that Weichen must find a way to draw a picture of Hua Rui Niangniang and the official together." ”

"However, when Weichen paints, there can't be others, so he can only act at that time."

"Okay, what do you need me to do, you can say it then."

"Wechen obeys."

Leng Yi said goodbye and left the palace and returned to his mansion.

When I entered the inner house, I saw Hua Wuxiang standing under the porch, looking forward to it, and when I saw him, I ran over excitedly: "Brother is back!" That's great! ”

"I'm going to try it tomorrow, why don't you go to review your homework, what are you doing here?"

"Didn't my brother ask my little sister to wait for your news tonight?" Hua Wuxiang lowered her voice.

Leng Yi said: "What about ,—— Mrs. and them?" ”

"Talking in the main room."

"Okay, come with me!"
