"The matter of banditry is a matter of great importance, since Boss Feng has already presented evidence, then it is reasonable to open the coffin to check, know right from wrong, and distinguish right from wrong. The fastest update is fast," Li Yuntian pretended to groan for a while, and said to Zheng Wen, "What does Lord Zheng think?" ”

"That's exactly what this official meant." Zheng Wen nodded and looked at Qi Degui, "Qi Degui, this official is going to open the coffin for inspection, do you have any objections?" ”

"Xiaomin has no objection!" Qi Degui's face was blue and white for a while, and he replied with a grim face.

Although Zheng Wen seemed to be asking for his opinion, it was just a routine politeness, where did he have the right to speak, and he hated Boss Feng in his heart.

Hearing this, the face of a middle-aged man in a young robe standing behind the screen in the back hall with a sturdy face couldn't help but become difficult to look at, he was Bai Yong, the official of the De'an County Ya Punishment Room.

Qi Degui didn't know that it was Feng Tian, Boss Feng's nephew, who was beheaded instead of Qi Xiangchen, but Bai Yong was very clear, Boss Feng didn't choose other people's coffins, but only chose Qi Xiangchen's coffin, which made him feel inexplicably flustered, could it be that Boss Feng noticed something?

Then Bai Yong breathed a sigh of relief, Feng Tian had now become a pile of dry bones, even if Boss Feng had doubts, then there was nothing to be done.

Due to the need to open the coffin for inspection, the location of the trial was changed from the county hall to the ancestral tomb of the Qi family, and the officials of De'an County had already built a simple pergola under the hillside near the ancestral tomb of the Qi family for Li Yuntian and Zheng Wen to rest.

Breaking ground in the ancestral tomb is a big deal, and Qi Degui took the lead in leading the Qi family's clansmen to carry out an ancestor worship ceremony and ask for the forgiveness of the ancestors.

After the ancestor worship ceremony was completed, some big men began to dig Qi Xiangchen's grave, and many Qi family members couldn't help but cry bitterly, feeling greatly humiliated.

There were many people gathered around to watch the excitement, and they were blocked outside the cordon by the officials of the county government, looking at the big men who were digging graves, pointing and pointing, and there were many discussions, and many people sympathized with the Qi family's plight, shook their heads and sighed.

"Lord Li, this time the matter is so big, if you can't be good, it won't be easy for this official to explain to the Qi family." Glancing at the people surrounding him, Zheng Wen smiled bitterly and said to Li Yuntian, the Qi family will definitely not give up after this great humiliation.

"Banditry is a big crime, and it is a matter of course for the government to investigate the case, is it possible that you and I will take care of the Qi family and turn a blind eye to Boss Feng's report? In case he reports to the patrol yamen, you and I can't afford to be guilty. ”

Li Yuntian took a sip of the fragrant tea in his hand, his brows furrowed slightly, although Zheng Wen used the best West Lake Longjing, he still felt that the taste was bitter, and then put down the teacup and said to Zheng Wen with a smile, "This matter is initiated by this official, if the boss asks, this official will definitely bear full responsibility." ”

"Master Li's words are wrong, this is a case between you and me, and you and I should bear it together." Zheng Wen smiled and shook his head, as the leader of a county, he still has a little courage, it seems that Li Yuntian is really like the rumors, he did not shirk responsibility, such an official is rare in officialdom, but it is also the most worthy of contact.

In the afternoon, Qi Xiangchen's coffin was hoisted out of the grave with a rope and placed on a table under a pergola.

Seeing this situation, the wife and children in the crowd who gave him linen and filial piety immediately cried bitterly, causing the people of the Qi family to also cry, and the scene was miserable.

"Two adults, we have completed the inspection, and the coffin is intact." Several middle-aged people gathered around the coffin to examine it carefully, and one middle-aged man then came to Li Yuntian and Zheng Wen and said in a deep voice that this was an indispensable procedure to prevent someone from tampering with the coffin after it was buried.

Hearing this, Zheng Wen waved his hand to Boss Feng and Qi Degui who were standing aside, and the two stepped forward to check the coffin, but they didn't find anything unusual.

"Open the coffin!" With Zheng Wen's deep shout, two craftsmen-like people carefully pried open the lid of the coffin.

"Wait a minute!" Just as the two craftsmen were about to remove the coffin lid, Boss Feng suddenly shouted, stopped the two, and then took out a piece of the coffin from his arms, knelt in front of Li Yuntian and Zheng Wen and shouted, "My lord, the grass people have a case, please let the two adults be the masters of the grass people!" ”

Hearing this, the people at the scene looked at each other in surprise, and no one could have imagined that Boss Feng would hand over the form at this time.

The corners of Li Yuntian's eyebrows were inadvertently raised, things have come to this point, and it is finally time to uncover the mystery.

Zheng Wen's face changed slightly, he didn't understand Boss Feng's intentions, and he didn't know whether to accept this situation or not, so he turned his head to look at Li Yuntian on the side, wanting to ask for his opinion.

"Boss Feng, what are you accusing?" Li Yuntian deliberately frowned and asked, after all, Boss Feng is from Hukou County, and he should come forward to deal with it.

"My lord, the grass people sued Qi Degui for murdering the grass people's nephew Feng Tian." Boss Feng held his head high and said loudly.

"Didn't you sue for what you did before?" Li Yuntian asked quietly when he heard this.

"Lord Qiqi, what the grass people told this time is different from the previous one, please let the grass people be the master." Boss Feng looked at Li Yuntian with a stern expression.

"Boss Feng, isn't it child's play to sue you? Shall you be wild here? Li Yuntian's face sank, and he shouted angrily to Luo Ming, who was standing aside, "Drag him down and hit the fifty boards!" ”

As soon as Lei Ming waved his hand, the two Hukou County station officials he brought with him stepped forward and grabbed Boss Feng's arms.

"My lord, the grass people are willing to accept any punishment after they sue him, please take over the grass people's situation, the grass people's nephew Feng Tian has a great grievance, if he can be avenged, the grass people can close their eyes even if they die." Seeing this, Boss Feng couldn't help but shout sadly.

"Okay, this official wants to see what great grievances you have." Li Yuntian sneered when he heard this.

Luo Ming knew what Li Yuntian meant, waved the two officials away, took the form from Boss Feng and handed it to him.

Li Yuntian spread out his face and looked at it, his face suddenly changed, and then handed it to Zheng Wen on the side.

"Boss Feng, do you have any evidence for what you said above?" Zheng Wen couldn't help but be taken aback after reading it, and asked in a deep voice.

"My lord, the evidence is right in front of you, and your lord will let people know it at a glance." Boss Feng's face turned red, he knelt on the ground, and shouted with all his strength, "Please let the grass people be the master!" ”

"Master Li, do you think we should accept it or not?" Hearing this, Zheng Wen couldn't help but look at Li Yuntian with a wry smile and asked in a low voice.

If the facts are really as stated in the situation, then the torture chambers in Hukou County and De'an County will be arrested and become an out-and-out major case, and it will certainly be difficult for him to hide the responsibility for negligence, and Li Yuntian will not be implicated in anything since he had not yet taken office at the time of the incident.

"Pick it up! If what Boss Feng said is true, then we must get rid of these scourges, not only to restore the safety of the people, but also to our great political achievements. Li Yuntian nodded and said in a categorical whisper.

Hearing the word "political achievements", Zheng Wen's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Li Yuntian is right, this case is big enough to implicate many people, although he has the responsibility of negligence, but in the end, he still found out the case and returned Feng Tian to justice, so it is indeed an out-and-out great achievement.

"Then take it." After thinking about it for a while, Zheng Wen nodded and made up his mind in his heart.

Then, he looked up at Qi Degui who was standing aside, and asked quietly, "Qi Degui, where are Qi Xiangchen's mother and nurse now?" ”

When Li Yuntian heard this, he couldn't help laughing in his heart, it seemed that Zheng Wen's brain was still spinning very fast, and he thought of a way to settle this case in an instant.

"They are with Xiaomin's family, I don't know what the adults are looking for them?" Qi Degui glanced at a group of Qi family people not far away, and asked suspiciously.

"Bring them in." Zheng Wen did not answer, but commanded the officials on the side in a deep voice.

Not only that, Zheng Wen also invited several respected villagers who came to the scene to be witnesses, so that the case would be done solidly.

At this moment, he couldn't help but hope that Boss Feng's situation was true, and it was also a great blessing in his life to be able to handle such a big case, which was thousands of times stronger than ordinary trivial cases.

As for the Qi family's reaction? Hmph, with such a big handle pinched in his hand, the Qi family still didn't let him rub it round and flatten.

Now he can't help but be glad that he and Li Yuntian jointly handled the case, without the intervention of the government office, he can mediate in some things, and when the people from the government come down to investigate, he and Li Yuntian have already handled the case well.

"Think about it, what is special about Qi Xiangchen's body, is there anything extra on his body, or what is missing, try to write it as informatively!" Under the witness of those villagers, Zheng Wen said in a deep voice to Qi Degui and her wife and Qi Xiangchen's nurse.

The three of them are the closest people to Qi Xiangchen, and the characteristics of Qi Xiangchen are clear, as long as they take their mouths, then the people of the Qi family will not want to deny and quibble.

Qi Degui and his wife looked at each other, not knowing what Zheng Wen meant, but since Zheng Wen asked them to do that, the three of them racked their brains there, and they didn't remember what Qi Xiangchen had on his body for a long time.

Seeing that the three of them really couldn't think of it, Zheng Wen asked Qi Degui to write down the things that were not abnormal on Qi Xiangchen's body on a piece of paper, and the three of them and the few villagers who were witnesses signed and signed on it.

"Come on, open the coffin!" After getting the confessions of Qi Degui and the others, Zheng Wen read it and handed it to Li Yuntian, and after Li Yuntian finished reading it, he said in a deep voice to the servant who was guarding in front of the coffin.

Since ancient times, the matter of opening the coffin and performing the autopsy has always been done in a pretend, and ordinary people can't do it, and they don't dare to do it.

"My lord, there is nothing in there other than a skeleton." The servant then lifted the lid of the coffin with the help of two apprentices, and there was a skeleton inside, and he looked through it carefully and found no statue of the golden jade maid, so he shouted to Zheng Wen.

"God has eyes, and I have given our family justice!" Qi Degui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, looked up to the sky and sighed, and after tossing for a long time, the truth was finally revealed, and then he pointed at Boss Feng, gritted his teeth and said, "Thief, what else do you have to say?" ”

The surrounding people suddenly stirred up and buzzed into discussions, all feeling unfair for the Qi family, and they wanted to suffer such humiliation for no reason.

"Zuozuo, you carefully examine the bones and report its characteristics to the official!" Zheng Wen didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation, but stared at him and said in a deep voice.

Qi Degui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked at Zheng Wen with a stunned expression, not understanding what he meant, since he didn't find the statue of the golden jade maid, shouldn't the case be closed, why should he check the bones?

The corners of Li Yuntian's mouth showed a hint of an imperceptible smile, but Qi Degui didn't understand that the real battle had just started now!
