Kou Dehai was devastated when he heard this, and said in his heart, how could things develop like this? I went to see Zhu Bo at that time for my own sake in the future, why did he become a lobbyist for his original family now?

- The life and death of the slaves of the original family, mind their own!

But Kou Dehai thought about it again, as if what he did was indeed suspected of excusing the original family.

"Okay, this official will explain that the county should not be too anxious about the guard order, this official will speak well for the county ......"

Kou Dehai suddenly felt like a ghost when he heard this: "The county order, please speak, what do you want Kou Dehai to do?" ”

Gou Shen smiled: "The official didn't let the county Cheng do anything for you, this matter has nothing to do with the official in the first place, but the official feels that he and the county Cheng will get along very well, so he just said a few words for the county Cheng." ”

"Kou, thank you for the maintenance of the county order, thank you."

Kou Dehai looked at Gou Shen, and Gou Shen smiled and said: "Things are actually simple, those minions who are not long-eyed make the guard Ling angry, and even with the county Cheng, you have been wronged, as long as the Chang'an guard makes the anger there, won't this matter be made small by the big thing?" ”

Kou Dehai immediately understood, and thanked Gou Shen again: "County order, the lower official understands what to do." ”

"It's not going to be a big deal, and in that way, the impact on the Guardian Order is not good......

Hearing Gou Shen say this, Kou Dehai nodded in understanding.

Kou Dehai came out of Gou Shen, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

Stealing chickens is not a loss of rice, originally giving gifts to Zhu Bo out of selfishness, but now he is regarded by Zhu Bo as a lobbyist to excuse his original family, and he was unaware of it, but he was actually the most unwilling to let Zhi Lu Dao know Zhi Dao!

"The original family!"

"Mother's in it! These dog minions have ruined Lao Tzu's good deeds! The grandfather's money has not been sent out yet, but it has been suspicious! ”

"His mother's!"

Kou Dehai scolded angrily, called someone, got into the carriage, and urged all the way to the original house.

Gou Shen watched Kou Dehai leave in a hurry, smiled indifferently, and went over to Chen Tang, the county lieutenant.

Chen Tang has been busy combing through the prisoners who were detained and imprisoned in the prison cell, carefully screening the case files again, and asking him to interrogate all the prisoners once to see if these people have justified their crimes, and whether there are any discrepancies between the words of the justification and what is said in the file, so as to try to picket some unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.

Winter is the time when the Han Dynasty executes prisoners, and the case files of the condemned prisoners are sent to the Tingwei Shi subordinate to Tingwei for review, if the case files are correct, at the latest before the end of the year, a group of prisoners who deserve death will be executed, so Chen Tang's task is very heavy these days.

Gou Shen went over, Chen Tang was flipping through the case files, and when Gou saw that a large number of files were placed beside him, he asked: "Brother Chen worked hard, I read dozens of catties today?" ”

As soon as Chen Tang heard Gou Shen speak, he hurriedly stood up, bowed down and said, "The lower officials didn't pay attention to come to the county order to forgive their sins." ”

"I've checked so many today, and the officials here think there is no problem, these are some," Chen Tang pointed to a few bamboo slips on the case and said, "These have some questions, and I ask the county to review them." ”

Gou Shen asked Chen Tang to sit down and continue, and he grabbed the bamboo slips on the case and looked through them.

Because at this time, the carrier of written records was mainly bamboo slips, and not everyone could write things on yellow paper or silk like Emperor Liu Xun.

And the bamboo slips are very heavy, so when Gou Shen asked Chen Tang just now how many case files he had read, he asked about dozens of catties.

Gou Shen flipped through a few case files casually, and then stood aside, Chen Tang was concentrating on the office, and after a while, he couldn't hear Gou Shen's voice, and when he looked up, he saw Gou Shen smiling at himself, and he knew what Gou Shen was going to say, so he had to get up again.

Gou Shen waved his hand and said, "What does the county lieutenant think of these files?" ”

Chen Tang hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The facts involved in these case files are a bit complicated, and there are many doubts, compared to this case," Chen Tang said and picked up the case file: "The criminal is only thirteen years old now, but he was sentenced to adultery and murder." ”

Gou Shen looked at Chen Tang quietly, Chen Tang frowned and said: "In the case file, it is said that this young man named Sai Zun coveted his sister-in-law's beauty and wanted to be rude to his sister-in-law, and was discovered by his brother. ”

"Saizun's brother remembered that he was young, and since he was a child, the two of them were also father early death, mother lonely, the three of them depended on each other, and Saizun's brother reprimanded him and separated from him, but Saizun held a grudge, took the opportunity to beat his brother to death, destroyed the body, and then raped his sister-in-law, was discovered, and reported to the official."

"If you take a closer look at the file, there is a lot of human and material evidence, as well as the testimony of the three chiefs of the township, the li, and the pavilion, which can be regarded as ironclad evidence, but the humble position feels that it is a little abnormal for a thirteen-year-old boy to do such a thing."

"This man still has an old mother?" Gou Shen frowned and said, "He is in prison, and his sister-in-law is still at home?" What about his mother? Who supports? ”

Chen Tang shook his head, saying that he didn't know anything about this, so Gou Shen called someone from outside, and it was Zheng Li who came in.

Every time Gou Shen saw Zheng Li in the past few days, he always thought that Zheng Liqing didn't know whether his stepdaughter Fu Yao came to find him or not, and when he saw him coming in at the moment, he stood with his hands tied, and Gou Shen asked about the sacrifice, Zheng Li thought about it and said: "This case has the impression of being lowly and degraded, it was originally tried by the county lieutenant Xu and judged by the Hu County Order. ”

"The Saizun family was originally quite wealthy in our county, but I didn't expect this to happen, as for the old mother of Saizun, after he was imprisoned, she died, and his sister-in-law seems to have jumped into the river and died."

It seems that this sacrificial family can be said to be ruined, Gou Shen thought for a while and said: "Bring this sacrificial observance, and the county will interrogate him." ”

Zheng Li took the order to go out, Gou Shen looked at Chen Tang and said: "Sai Zun first insulted his sister-in-law, and then beat his brother to death, destroying the corpse, but the paragraph about sacrificial murder in this case is written a little confused, and besides, after he killed his brother, he raped his sister-in-law, isn't this person the same?" ”

"He was found insulting his sister-in-law, who found out? This is also not exhaustive. ”

As Gou Shen spoke, Chen Tang was silent, and after a while, the sound of shackles and chains entered his ears, and an unkempt and foul-smelling man was brought in.

Gou Shen was a little surprised when he saw this prisoner who was brought in, according to the writing on the file, this person called Priest Zun was only thirteen years old, but he was more than eight feet tall in front of him, about one meter eight, and he was really a little powerful.

However, because of his long detention in the prison, the priest's body was emaciated, as thin and tall as a hemp pole, and he was unsteady on his feet.

Chen Tang looked at Gou Shen's face and asked, "Did the prison guard deduct the rations of this prisoner?" How can you be so listless? ”

Zheng Li listened to it and said: "Back to the words of the county lieutenant, this priest has been looking for death and life since he was imprisoned, and he tried to kill himself several times, but was found and stopped by the prison guards, and now, he has been on hunger strike for several days, and every time he faints from hunger, the prison guards forcibly pour him some soup, otherwise, this person would have died a long time ago." ”
