Fei Jin paused before continuing: "I was frightened, and quickly carried her back to the bedroom and put her on the ground." I thought she had just passed out, but she never woke up. When I saw her lying down like this and ignored me, I thought like when she just passed the door, thinking that she was everyone's best lady and Lao Tzu was not worthy of her, so I was angry and picked up a knife and cut off her head. It doesn't come out with a lot of blood, but I'm more awake when I see it. I was a little scared, so I threw down the kitchen knife and ran out. I found blood on my hands, so I washed my hands with water and waited in the grass until evening, when I went home. ”

The truth of the matter has been revealed, Xiao Jiading recorded a confession, asked him to sign and draw, and was about to leave, after thinking about it, he still turned back to him and said: "According to my investigation, your daughter-in-law is a virtuous and loyal woman, and she has always adhered to the woman's way, you misunderstood her......"

"Nonsense! She seduces men everywhere, and when she goes out on the street, she wagging her tail like a in heat when she sees young men, especially a scholar like you. Did you say that because you had a leg with her? Isn't it? The last time I took her to the street, I saw a scholar from a distance, and she smiled at the scholar's back,——Is that scholar you?" Say! Isn't it......? ”

Fei Jin threw himself on the railing of the cell, grabbed the railing, and screamed like crazy, his eyes were bloodshot, staring at Xiao Jiading and yelling.

Xiao Jiading understands that this kid seems to have delusions of victimization, paranoia, and is a psychopath! However, Tang Lu did not say that mentally ill homicide is not criminally responsible. Besides, he is mentally ill and has not lost the ability to recognize and control his own behavior, and should be held responsible.

Xiao Jiading scolded a madman and took a confession and went out of prison.

Next, there is another very important thing to verify, because the very experienced old man of the state government yamen has confirmed the characteristics of the wound on the neck of the deceased. Consistent with the signs of a broken neck after death, the head was cut off after death, that is, it is not clear how the deceased died. When the cause of death is unknown, Fei Jin has already admitted guilt and cannot be conclusive. The rest of the matter is to find out the cause of death.

He already has a preliminary judgment, and the next step is to prove it.

He told the county magistrate of Shehong County that he was going to open the coffin for an autopsy and re-examine the body. Meantime. He invited the officials of the state government yamen to come to the scene to inspect together.

Soon, the servants of the yamen of the state capital also came, and the other young servants took out the coffin of the deceased and opened the coffin. The gorgeous brocade quilt and shroud in the coffin are already as bright as new. Uncover the quilt to reveal the corpses underneath.

The skull had been re-sewn to the neck, but due to the decay of the musculature, the stitches were no longer able to connect, and when it was lifted, it shook and the skull had left the neck. It was strangely crooked, revealing a large half of the fracture that had been highly decomposed, full of white wriggling fly maggots, which made people look creepy.

Siu Ka Ting is not a professional forensic doctor. The forensic knowledge he knew about Lu Dao was only in books and case files, so he did not personally inspect it. said to the old man of the state yamen: "Old man, please inquire, please examine the cervical vertebrae of the deceased." ”

The old man glanced at Xiao Jiading suspiciously, and didn't say much. Reaching out with a wooden shovel, he pulled off all the maggots on the broken neck, and then shoveled off the soft rotten muscles on the neck, revealing the cervical vertebrae below.

The old man took a closer look, and suddenly, his slightly rickety body shook suddenly, and his eyes fell on the cervical vertebrae, and the fifth cervical vertebra was seriously fractured! Lao Zuo's medical knowledge is not enough for him to explain this problem medically, but with his experience, he knows that the cervical vertebra fracture of the Taoist is serious, which can make people stop breathing failure and eventually die!

Xiao Jiading's inference was confirmed,—— Fei Jin's wife died of whiplash head injury. This kind of injury most commonly occurs in traffic accidents in modern society, due to the rapid collision of vehicles, the skull moves forward and backward like a whiplash, resulting in damage to the junction of the brain stem and the cervical medulla, and shear damage will also occur at the interface of different structures in the brain parenchyma, so the cervical dislocation and fracture will cause paralysis on one or both sides of the injured person, and in severe cases, it can lead to respiratory and circulatory failure and death.

Fei Jin's wife has always been submissive, so when her husband grabbed her arm and shook her back and forth desperately, as well as grabbed her hair and pushed her head back and forth, she did not make any resistance, originally she was a delicate woman, in the vigorous and long-term violent shaking of the back and forth, her slender neck and cervical vertebrae were broken and died by this continuous long-term whiplash-like shaking back and forth! Now, the fracture of the cervical vertebrae in the neck of the deceased proves that Xiao Jiading's inference is correct. At the same time, the results of this inquest also confirmed the authenticity of Fei Jin's confession, because it was a confession before evidence, the probative force is very strong.

Xiao Jiading knew about this kind of injury because he had undertaken many traffic accident cases, and some deceased people died from this kind of injury, and of course combined with other injuries caused death. After listening to Fei Jin's statement, he guessed this result.

For the ancient people, they could not have known such modern medical knowledge as the Dao, but they knew that the cervical vertebrae of the neck of the Daoist were broken, and the person was either paralyzed or died. That's enough.

Xiao Jiading handed over Fei Jinxin's confession to the county magistrate of Shehong County, the county lieutenant and the old man for a look, and after they read it, the old man was immediately relieved and explained the cause of death to the county commander and the county lieutenant. The case has finally been revealed.

The next morning, the county order was promoted to the court to inquire about the case, and Fei Jin in the court did not deny it in front of the ironclad evidence, admitting that after he shook his wife's head vigorously, his wife stopped breathing. But he has always emphasized that his wife is an adulteress, and when she sees a man, she wants to seduce her, and she is innocent of death. The county magistrate convicted Fei Jin of intentionally killing his wife and sentenced him to beheading.

Because it was a case remanded for retrial, and the case was investigated and handled by the scribe who was imprisoned by the prince of Shu, the state government yamen sent Fa Cao to hear the trial, and praised it after hearing it, saying that the case was handled very successfully, and he was a big ass.

The case was successfully investigated, and the task assigned by Princess Yang was also completed, which made Xiao Jiading feel very good. Master Wang also attended the trial, and when he heard that Fei Jin was sentenced, the old man was already crying to tears, looking up to the sky and praying, so that his daughter could go with peace of mind.

That night, accompanied by Ji Zhutou, Master Wang came to Xiao Jiading again with five singers and some money, and asked Xiao Jiading to accept it. Xiao Jiading was amiable and resolutely refused.

Master Wang was helpless. wanted to kneel down and kowtow to thank Xiao Jiading for his great kindness, but he was pulled by Xiao Jiading and refused to kneel, which moved the old man to tears.

The next morning, it was the day when the king of Shu ascended to the court to record the prisoners, and the cases of the prisoners were all the cases of the king of Shu himself ascending to the court to try the case and make a verdict. Except for the death penalty case, which must be reported to Dali Temple for review and then reported to the emperor for approval, other cases have the right of final adjudication, that is, the judgment is made for life.

In fact, Xiao Jiading's case did not belong to the trial supervision review of the effective judgment, such as the recording of prisoners, but was remanded for retrial. Therefore, there are local officials who judge according to the normal way. And it had already been sentenced before, so Xiao Jiading didn't have anything to do that morning. He was getting ready for a good night's sleep and waiting for noon to leave for the next stop. Just when he was sleeping soundly, the innkeeper came to report that Master Wang had something important to ask to see.

Xiao Jiading was a little angry, this old man told him that he didn't need to give money to women, why did he still come to entangle? Just as he was about to wave his hand and say no, the guy added another sentence, saying that Master Wang also brought an old way. said that there is something important to ask for a meeting, so that the poor master must be met.

Got an old way? Xiao Jiading was a little puzzled, but he still got up and got dressed. After a brief tidying up, I came out to meet you. Sure enough, I saw that there was an old man with a long silver hair floating on his chin behind him, and there was no Buddha dust in his hand, and he was looking Xiao Jiading up and down with a serious face.

Master Wang hurriedly said to Xiao Jiading: "Xiao Zhiyi." This is the real person of Tianyi in Lingxiao Guan. Fortune-telling is very effective. Zhiyi avenged the little girl, but he didn't charge a penny, and the old man was very grateful. So last night, I asked Tianyi real people to help with the clothes and pray for blessings. As a result, when Tianyi real people practiced, they found a shocking news, so, the old man brought a real person to find Zhiyi, please Zhiyi must obey the arrangement of the real person, in order to turn evil into good fortune and become auspicious. ”

Xiao Jiading couldn't cry or laugh, he knew that this Master Wang was so capable of tossing, so he simply accepted her woman. Now he actually went to pray for himself, but he was bluffed by this real person, saying that he had some disaster, but he was afraid that he would not blackmail himself, but to knock Master Wang hard.

Xiao Jiading didn't believe in these things, and said busily: "Master Wang, no need, I'm very busy, and I still have very important things to do, if there is nothing to do, I won't keep the two." ”

Master Wang was about to speak, but the Tianyi real person next to him had already spoken, and he recited a sentence aloud:

A tiger out of the mountain,

A dragon flies into the sky.

natural fate,

Creation is incomplete.

One wrong step,

Smoke in the dust!

Xiao Jiading had already turned around to enter the back room, but when he heard this words, he was shocked and stood still, did this mean something? This tiger and dragon, does it mean the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Ke? The difficulty of creation means that it is difficult to take care of both ends of the world? Isn't it just that I am cautious every step now, lest I make a mistake and lose the whole game?

Xiao Jiading turned around slowly, stared at Lao Dao, and said slowly: "This Dao Master, why can't I understand what you say?" ”

Tianyi Zhenren shook his head slowly and said, "Don't tell lies in front of real people. Xiao Zhiyi, you know very well what Lao Tao said in your heart. ”

Xiao Jiading's heart was shocked again, so to speak, this sentence is really not a trick, but targeted. Let's talk about my current situation.

Xiao Jiading walked back and arched his hand: "Can the Taoist chief explain a little clearly?" ”

"Heaven must not be divulged." Tianyi Zhenren still has a straight face, making people feel unfathomable, "However, what I can tell Zhiyi is that within half a year, you will face a catastrophe." If this calamity is not done well, there will be a bloody disaster! ”

Xiao Jiading's heart was shocked again, if there may be a double meaning in that sentence, that is, there may be multiple interpretations, and there is always one that suits his own situation, so it is still accidental, then the latter sentence "There will be a catastrophe within half a year, and if you don't get it right, there will be a bloody disaster" is very clear and accurate! Could it be that this old way can really see the future? Or is he also a modern man who has traveled through time?

Xiao Jiading smiled at the moment and said: "The disaster of blood and light, tsk, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, everyone was robbed, and if they couldn't get by, there would be a disaster of blood and light, just like the great leader Mao Laojia said: 'Thousands of villages are left behind, and thousands of households are sung by Xiao Shu'!" Hehehe"

Xiao Jiading laughed self-deprecatingly while staring at the old way. He quoted two verses from Chairman Mao's famous poem, which most people know about the Dao, even if they don't know these two verses, but the phrase "the great leader Mao Old Man", then the Chinese should know the Dao in everything, as long as the other party is a person who has crossed over and speaks Chinese, it is impossible not to know the Dao.

However, looking closely at this Tianyi real person, there was only a little admiration on his face, and he said: "Xiao Zhiyi became a poem in seven steps, and it really deserves its reputation." Hearing him say this, there was no consternation or worry on his face. Xiao Jiading knew that this old way could not be a person who had crossed over, so his so-called insight should not be like he came from modern knowledge.

Tianyi Zhenren finished this sentence, and said: "It's just that the clothes are not in the chaotic era at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but in the Yonghui era when the world is peaceful, this bloody disaster is not an ordinary thing. If Master Wang hadn't begged me, I wouldn't have cared about such idle matters. Of course, if Xiao Zhiyi insists on not wanting his father to talk more, then the old way will leave. ”

After that, this old way turned around and wanted to leave. Hearing him understand so clearly, Xiao Jiading's heart couldn't help but move, and he hurriedly said: "If you come, you will be safe." If a true person has spoken, why should he refuse to teach? If you have anything to say, please make it clear. Thank you again under the next by all means. ”

Lao Dao shook his head: "Thank you for it, Master Wang has already donated a large amount of money to Guanli for you, and you don't need to break your clothes." If Zhiyi really believes in Poor Dao, and Poor Dao can point Zhiyi to a clear way, I wonder if Zhiyi has this interest? ”

Xiao Zhiyi hurriedly said: "Okay, Dao Chief, please speak"

Tianyi Zhenren glanced at Master Wang next to him. Master Wang immediately understood, and said: "The old man is waiting below for ,—— Zhiyi, Tianyi Zhenren is really very powerful, and the things he sees have never failed." You have to listen to real people. ”

Xiao Jiading nodded and said to Master Wang: "Thank you!" ”

When Master Wang came out of the room, Xiao Jiading closed the door and asked Tianyi Zhenren to sit down and talk.

Waiting for Tianyi Zhenren to sit down, Xiao Jiading said in a low voice: "What Zhenren said just now, can you be specific?" Or can you point me through the labyrinth? (To be continued......)
