162 Eyewitnesses are rewarded for assisting in solving cases
But it was said that the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, Liang Wenzhen cracked a lantern riddle, and the riddle said that the riddle was an unsolved case a month ago, and the clues of the Shili Pavilion murder case, Liang Wenzhen won the silver reward from the government. According to Liang Wenzhen's suggestion, the magistrate quickly found the real culprit, but the case was closed because of the need for circumstantial evidence. Liang Wenzhen and his entourage celebrated because they got their own money twice a day, but they delayed their trip on the second day. happened to be invited by the magistrate, so Liang Wenzhen went to analyze the case for the magistrate.
Liang Wenzhen volunteered to verify his speculation, and made a temporary cameo appearance as a detective to become a detective. The magistrate was overjoyed and arranged for manpower to act. I was afraid that Liang Wenzhen's companions were worried, so he sent someone to the inn to inform him of the situation.
Everything was ready, Liang Wenzhen led the group to Shili Pavilion. It was the autumn weather, a group of people visited nearby households, passers-by, and learned that there was a drop in the first talent, named Wang Qian, poor, herding cattle for a living, almost every day led the cattle around the Shili Pavilion. But somehow, I haven't been here since around January.
When Liang Wenzhen learned of these circumstances, he already had eyebrows in his heart, smiled knowingly, and said to the two headhunters: "It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there." That Wang Qian, ten of you have witnessed the murder, and you don't dare to come to Shili Pavilion again. We're going to search his house, and it looks like the case will be closed soon. ”
The head-catching officials responded one after another, and felt that Liang Wenzhen was very reasonable. Because of inquiries all the way, he went straight to Wang Gan's house.
a low hut with thatched grass that had not been replaced for a long time, and looked dilapidated; The earthen wall has some cracks, and it looks crumbling with benefits; The yard is full of barren weeds, the courtyards are mixed, and there is no one to come and go; Under the thatched canopy, an old ox, skinny, this is Wang Gan's home.
Liang Wenzhen knocked on the door, and the door seemed to fall. Wang Qian came in response, lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, and when he looked at the officers and soldiers behind Liang Wenzhen, he was immediately dumbfounded, looking weak-hearted.
"I don't know what the old man is doing here?" Wang Qian stepped forward and said, his eyes wandering and panicked. Liang Wenzhen said: "We suspect that you are related to the murder near Shili Pavilion a month ago, please come with us." ”
Wang Qian immediately knelt on the ground, hugged Liang Wenzhen's feet, and begged: "Big lord, you are wronged, the little one knows nothing." Liang Wenzhen didn't look at him, and ordered: "Come on, come into the house and search for me!" The messenger went into the house to search, and Wang Qian looked at it with blank eyes, at a loss.
"Found it!" A chacha shouted. Liang Wenzhen pulled out his feet, turned around and entered, and sure enough, he found a bunch of leftover materials for making lanterns at one foot of the house, and compared with the lantern with clues to the murder that day, it was clearly distinguished from the material and cutting shape, and the lantern was made by this Wang Qian's family. Liang Wenzhen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Wang Qian, what else do you have to say?" ”
Wang Qian fell to his knees and cried, "Wronged, my lord. I'm just an eyewitness, I didn't kill people! Liang Wenzhen naturally knew it, but said deliberately: "Judging from the current evidence, it can only prove that you are related to the murder." Whether you are just an eyewitness, or whether you are playing tricks and disturbing the audio-visual and criminal crimes, you have to carefully investigate to find out. ”
Liang Wenzhen saw Wang Qian's tears and innocent face, but he had no way to defend himself, his heart suddenly softened, leaned over to help him up, and said: "You get up and speak, as long as you explain the truth, I will repay you justice." ”
Wang Qian's expression was slightly relieved, and he wiped away his tears and got up. "Let's go, Lord Zhixian is waiting for your confession and verifying the case." Liang Wenzhen said. The group then took Wang Qian and rushed back to the yamen. When the county magistrate heard that Liang Wenzhen had brought back the eyewitness, although he was expected, he was still excited, and personally stepped forward to greet him, and said, "Yo, this is the eyewitness who made the lantern, right?" Liang Daguan is really good, and he has tossed the unsolved case of his official for more than a month, and finally has settled down. ”
The words are divided into two ends. Xu Jin and others heard that the government messenger was coming, and Liang Wenzhen wanted to handle the case with the official mission, so he didn't have to worry about Yunyun. At this time, everyone was eating lunch in the inn restaurant and drinking tea to eliminate food. The ladies sat around a table and talked about the various murders they had heard from outside.
"Liang Daguan is really magical, the Mid-Autumn Festival night broke the riddle, I heard that the county has taken the murderer according to the riddle. The murderer was so vicious that it took fifty tolerances to catch him. The shopkeeper paced over and added fuel to what he had heard. Xu Fan, Zhao Min and others listened and discussed the case with him. The shopkeeper also described the situation in which he had seen Liang Daguan leading the yamen to handle the case in four cases.
Xu Jin thought about it, since the murderer had already arrived in the case, at this time, what else did Liang Wenzhen need to do, and he was very puzzled. Fang Qin, Bai Yujiao, Hua Sumei, etc., were already very curious about Liang Gongzi being sent by the government, and they were very curious about the omnipotent son and lover in their minds, who could be valued by the government and invited to assist in handling the case, which was also a light on their faces.
Xu Fan, Zhao Min, Jiang Zhao and others are idle in the inn, and going out shopping is not a habit of big men, and they don't want to go out to see what Liang Wenzhen is doing. said to Xu Jinyi, everyone naturally hit it off, and even Na Duyu was very willing to go to the county government to investigate. Xu Jin explained to Ding's mother and took care of Pan Jinlian's daily life, and Ding's mother promised. By the way, I informed Fang Qin and the others that they had a few reasons for going out. Who would have thought that Fang Qin, Bai Yujiao, Hua Sumei, etc., each had the same thoughts, so they naturally wanted to follow to the yamen, so Chen Qiuyue didn't want to be alone, so she also followed.
Xu Jin Xu Fan and his entourage arrived at the public court, and saw that Liang Wenzhen had become a guest of the county order, and sat next to the master, watching the county magistrate try the murder case in Shili Pavilion.
I saw that above the court, Wang Qian knelt down and confessed: "I have to say it now." More than a month ago, I was herding cattle near Shiliting, and I took a book and read it on a big tree fork. Unknowingly, he heard the quarrel, so he followed the reputation, but saw the two arguing, as if it was for business.
"The argument became more and more intense, and the two of us got closer and closer to me. There was a man on both sides, whose legs and feet seemed to be inconvenient, with crutches. In a hurry, he picked up a cane and pointed at another person, but he used too much force, and poked it with a cane, impartially, and hit the left eye.
"The man who was poked with a cane, covered his eyes, and immediately fell to the ground, bleeding profusely, and never moved again. When the lame man saw this, he was so frightened that he picked up his crutches, limped away, walked a few steps, and threw the crutches on the ground. I panicked, although I had the idea of saving people, I didn't know what to do, I was afraid of getting into trouble, and then I hurried down the mountain.
"On the way down the mountain, I picked up the crutch and walked to the backyard of the temple, and when I saw the bloodstains, I was terrified, so I hung the crutches there and crawled home. For more than a month, I tossed and turned night and night, unable to sleep and eat, and inquired about it, but the county had not solved the case. coincided with the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, so I thought about using lantern riddles to inform the clues of the murder, so I made lantern riddles. ”
After Wang Qian's words, he sighed constantly, as if he was remorseful, but even more helpless. Liang Wenzhen sighed and asked, "Why didn't you report to the official?" If you had reported to the police, you could have brought the murderer to justice earlier, and you would have avoided the pain of having trouble sleeping and eating. ”
Wang Gan's expression was slightly relieved, his eyes were empty, and he said: "My Wang Qian's family is surrounded by walls, and he has no relatives. The murderer is a businessman, how do I know if he has a backer behind him? Adults are not as poor as me, so they should not understand my concerns. ”
"Hey," Liang Wenzhen sighed, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve, and said, "The matter has come to this point, and it is really difficult to make a lantern riddle for you." I will plead for you, and forgive you for not knowing it. Just use the money to find a living. ”
Wang Qian was grateful, fell to the ground, and said to Liang Wenzhen: "Thanks to the great kindness of the great officials, Wang is unforgettable. In the next life, it will be used as a cow and a horse, and the grass will be tied to the ring. ”
"Excellent, Wang Qian has hidden the middle of the murder case, and everything is clear, and this county will not be embarrassed with you. Seeing that although you are not the first, you are also considered to be talented, smart, a lantern riddle has knocked down the squire Xiucai of the entire county, and the county should have rewarded you. In addition, Liang Daguan broke the riddle with wisdom and helped the county solve the unsolved case, and when he was truly wise, brave, benevolent, and righteous, the county would definitely go to the court and commend him. brought the murderer Li Youfu to court. There was a crackle.
The lame man was lifted by two yacha, one left and one right, and knelt down in the hall. "Murderer Li Youfu, this county asks you again, in the Shili Pavilion last month, Sun Pu was killed by you?" The magistrate shouted.
That Li Youfu's face was pale, and he nodded indifferently. "Now the county has pronounced a verdict that the murderer Li Youfu killed others by mistake, feared that he would not report the crime, and was sentenced to 20 years in prison; Eyewitness Wang Gan did not report what he knew, and he should be punished with a cane for 30 years, but Wang Gan had no intention of concealing it and was exempted from cane responsibility. Li Youfu was put in prison left and right, and he was not allowed to show favoritism. "It took more than a month to solve an unsolved case, and the trial was finally concluded. In the public court, Liang Wenzhen sat and listened, and witnessed the murderer being paralyzed and confused, wanting to cry without tears, regretting his original appearance, and suddenly felt pity. Seeing Wang Gan's trance-like appearance when he testified, he had mixed feelings.
The good and evil of human nature are inseparable, and who can distinguish them in one word? The so-called "bad guys" are often just a thought. And goodness and cowardice are always inseparable, how many people are sincerely good, and how many people are forced to be helpless, timid and afraid of things?
A "Wei ~~ Wu ~~", the county did not announce his retreat, and he was shocked again, and said to the hall: "Today, in my Dongming County Government, a murder case has been solved, and Liang Wenzhen, a big official from Yanggu, Shandong, has made great contributions, in recognition of his contribution to the county, in this court, in the face of many Dongming people, the county decided to reward Liang Wenzhen's officials. Retire! ”
Out of the county office, Xu Jin and others surrounded Liang Wenzhen and congratulated him. Bai Yujiao stepped forward, pinched Liang Wenzhen's arm, and said angrily: "The dead son is a bad son, but how to solve the murder case, tell me quickly." "Sister Yujiao doesn't feel sorry for Brother Liang, I have to punish her, don't you see Brother Liang running around hard?" Fang Qin said with a smile. Liang Wenzhen pinched Fang Qin's face with his fingers and said, "I know that Qin Mei is still distressed." When he spoke, his right hand went to grab Fang Qin's small waist, who knew that Fang Qin broke free, afraid that he would be shy in front of this crowd. Hua Sumei looked at her son stupidly, silent, her eyes were full of tears. The men he serves treat everyone equally and respect everyone, not only that, but he is very easy-going and considerate of others. The strange man in front of him looked so unreal, like in a dream. How lucky it is to be able to serve him, get along with him day and night, know and love each other.
"Didn't Lord Zhixian say that Brother Liang should be commended! If you get the bonus, you have to eat a big meal to celebrate, and you can't forget it. Xu Fan said in a loud voice. Exactly, Master is very generous, and treats money as dung, how can he forget. "Zhao Min should be peaceful. Zhao Min followed Xu Fan, and slowly learned that it was neither big nor small, and he was flamboyant.
Liang Wenzhen also remembered the commendation promised by the county order, and was more curious than joyful. This Dongming County Order, what kind of reward will it be with itself. Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
