Chapter 68: Burying the Soul of Incense under the Mass Grave
Xiao Jiading knew that when they invited him to go to that kind of place, he naturally drank flower wine, but he was disgusted with this Su Laocai from the bottom of his heart, his own daughter was on a box bed in the prison, he must have known it, but he only spent money to put his own yuan match into the prison, but he ignored his daughter. It's chilling. The reason why Xiao Jiading agreed to see him was mainly to ask where Su Yunxia's mother was buried, and in addition, to listen to what this Su Laocai was going to say, he didn't plan to drink with them, let alone drink flower wine with them.
At the moment, Xiao Jiading frowned and said: "I still have entertainment at night, and at most it is only half an hour, and I won't go to this Huanhua Creek." Just find a place to talk. β
Zuo Shiling hurriedly said: "Then, how about the Yizhou Restaurant outside the Yamen?" β
"Okay, I don't have much time, I'll talk about it later. Don't arrange a banquet, I have something to do at night, I can't drink. β
"Yes, yes!"
Xiao Jiading said that there was a party in the evening, which was originally a pretext, but he didn't expect that it would not be long before he really had a party to come to the door. ββAn invitation sent by the maid sent by Ya Niang in the Jade Building. Invite him to meet at the "Lanzhou Painting Boat" in Huanhua Creek in the evening.
Xiao Jiading secretly called it a fluke, but fortunately he pushed off the Zuo Shizhi order and wanted to go to Huanhuaxi to drink flower wine by himself, otherwise, they would have collided together. He thought again, at this time, Yaniang asked herself to meet, could it be a date with Tang Lin? It's unlikely to think about it, Ya Niang said, then Tang Lin is very difficult to invite. I'm afraid it's not so easy to see.
When the yamen was dispersed, Zuo Shiling had already changed into civilian clothes and was waiting outside the yamen. Seeing Xiao Jiading come out, he hurriedly greeted him and gave his hand again and again.
Xiao Jiading said: "I'm really sorry, the evening party is in advance, so at most, there is only one meal at most, I'm really sorry, let him make a long story short." β
"Okay, little brother understands."
Xiao Jiading patted him on the shoulder again, and said: "I know that you can't save face, so I promised him, the bridge will return to the bridge, and the road will return to the road, even if I can't help him, the love of our brothers will not have any impact, what will happen in the future, just ask, if I have something to ask you for help, you can't shirk it." Haha"
As soon as he heard this, Zuo Shiling was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "That's that, thank you Xiao Zhiyi, ah no, the eldest brother's appreciation, if the eldest brother has any instructions, the younger brother will try his best to do it." β
Xiao Jiading has a relationship with these people in the Yamen who call him a brother and a brother, and that is also for the convenience of doing things in the future. In China, from ancient times to the present, everyone hates the network, and everyone can't do without the network, and longs for more networks. That's the reality. At this point, although Xiao Jiading has not been a lawyer for too long in modern society, he has a deep understanding of this, and has been actively developing various networks. Now in the Tang Dynasty, I have moved that set here.
The two laughed and came to the elegant seat of Yizhou Restaurant. Then I saw a fat man with a rosacea, with that habitual flattering smile on his face, raising his fat hands and shaking them again and again. Zuo Shiling made an introduction, and this was indeed Su Yunxia's father, Su Laocai.
Su Laocai was busy asking the guy to bring the best wine banquet. Seeing that Xiao Jiading had a calm face, Zuo Shiling didn't sit down, so he hurriedly pulled the sleeve of Lao Cai's coat and said in a low voice: "Wait for this, Xiao Zhiyi still has entertainment, and he is about to leave, and he will only have time for a meal at most." Hurry up! Xiao Zhiyi is very busy, but he doesn't have time to listen to your nonsense. β
"Good!" Su Laocai originally wanted to invite Xiao Jiading to sit down and say, but Xiao Jiading had no intention of sitting down, so he had to stand and say with a smile: "That's the case, I have a concubine, surnamed Liu, who doesn't listen to her words, does things inappropriately, and always offends my Hun family, and that day because of this, I made my Hun family Wu angry, and my Hun family was also angry for a while, so I took the scissors and stabbed it, but I didn't think about it and pierced it on the concubine's neck, and the concubine died." My Hun family didn't mean it, if you want to blame it, you can only blame the little concubine, she committed the following crimes, and she has no respect. She is innocent of death, but my Hun family is really at fault, and I didn't mean to kill her, Zhiyi, please be sure to uphold justice. β
Xiao Jiading stared at his fat mouth and said with a sneer in his heart, Su Yunxia, who was present at the time, and a few maids and servants, all proved that the Wu clan was crazy and stabbed with scissors, and the autopsy also proved that the deceased Liu had seven wounds on his body, including three on his neck! Head and face in one place! One place in the back! Where is this still negligence? It is clearly intentional homicide. The reason was just that the Wu clan found fault and insulted the Liu clan, and the Liu clan couldn't help but say a sentence, and the Wu clan went crazy and committed murder. Afterwards, the servants and maids present were stunned, Su Yunxia cried and asked them to sue the official, but according to Tang law, if a slave sues his master, as long as it is not a felony of rebellion, he will also be hanged, so none of the slaves dared to go, and they all hid. And this Su Laocai actually wanted to take this matter privately, and was ready to let people carry the body to bury it, Su Yunxia was so angry that she could only go to the government to complain. Now, this Su Laocai wants to help him change the vicious woman to a manslaughter crime, so that his life can be saved, and he can be released on redemption.
Xiao Jiading held back the anger in his heart and said lightly: "Where is your dead Liu Clan, buried?" β
Su Laocai didn't expect Xiao Jiading to ask about this matter, he was a little at a loss for a while, and after thinking about it, he smiled and said: "Buried in the ......, this, buried in the knife splitting cliff in the south of the city......"
The knife splitting cliff in the south of the city is a mass grave, between the two canyons, it is difficult to have sunlight in a day, it is gloomy, and the feng shui is very bad, so the yamen is used as a place to bury those dead refugees who fled the famine, and the death row prisoners who were executed but no one collected their bodies. The poor people had no money to buy a cemetery, so they buried their bodies here. It became a mass grave.
Unexpectedly, this Su Laocai actually buried his dead concubine in such a place, and didn't even buy him a cemetery.
Xiao Jiading then asked: "Where is it buried in the knife splitting cliff?" Is there a tombstone? β
Su Laocai didn't expect Xiao Jiading to ask so carefully, so he hurriedly said: "Just about two hundred steps into the knife splitting cliff, set up a ...... Well, the small stele ......, with the name written on it,"
Xiao Jiading nodded, since he can erect a monument, he still has a little conscience. Then tomorrow I will go to pay tribute to myself, and it will be easy to find it.
Su Laocai saw that Xiao Jiading finished asking these questions, and was silent, so he was a little frightened, and peeked at Xiao Jiading's left city order next to him.
Zuo Shiling understood, coughed, and said, "I'll urge the vegetable ......" After that, he turned around and wanted to go out.
"Left City Order!" Xiao Jiading stopped him loudly, "Don't go!" Then, he looked at Su Laocai: "Do you have anything else to say?" β
Xiao Jiading hopes that he can talk about his daughter Su Yunxia, who is also in prison. However, Su Laocai didn't even mention half a word. As if he didn't have this daughter at all. This made Xiao Jiading even more contemptuous of him, so he didn't even want to sit down, and he didn't let Zuo Shiling leave, looking at him coldly.
Zuo Shiling naturally couldn't go against Xiao Jiading's words, and stood there a little embarrassed.
Su Laocai has been in business for many years, knows the use of money, and often deals with officials, many officials have a serious face at the beginning, and when they put the money in front of them, they immediately put on a smiling face, presumably this deacon is also like this. At that moment, he immediately picked up a money box from the corner of the wall, put it in front of Xiao Jiading, opened it, and it was full of copper coins.
Su Laocai looked at Xiao Jiading with a little pride, and said, "This is a little bit of the villain's heart, please accept it with a smile." As long as my Hun family can settle down on manslaughter and release the person, I will send another box of money to the clothes to ......"
Xiao Jiading could have reprimanded this kind of bribery in a righteous and stern manner, but in that case, it would hurt the face of Zuo Shiling on the side, which was not good. So, he said with a gloomy face: "I never accept bribes from others, Zuo Shiling should have told you, right?" β
Su Laocai was stunned for a moment and looked at Zuo Shiling.
As soon as Zuo Shiling heard that Xiao Jiading directly characterized this as a bribe, he knew that this matter was yellow, Xiao Jiading was now giving himself a step, and hurriedly scolded Su Laocaidao: "Didn't I tell you?" Xiao Zhiyi came to eat, he already gave you a lot of face, Zhiyi is very upright, and never accepts bribes, why don't you listen? Make this set! β
Su Laocai was very embarrassed, and Nuo Nuo said: "This ......, this is just a little ...... of the villain, a little ...... of mind, I'm really embarrassed to ......."
Xiao Jiading interrupted him: "Okay! I already know what you mean, it stands to reason that Zuo Shiling said that I will help, there is no need to do this. But you also know that I am just a little handsome, running errands, I don't count this kind of thing, I have to say it to Kang County. So, I can't help it, I'm sorry! I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave! β
After that, he arched his hand at Zuo Shiling, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and walked away.
Although Xiao Jiading is only in charge of clothes, the people in the Yamen know that Kang County Ling himself does not understand the law, and all criminal affairs are handed over to him to take care of, plus Xiao Jiading was personally recommended by Tang Sima, and the Kang County Order is very important, so his words are to some extent the decision of the Kang County Order. Now that he is using this as an excuse, he naturally makes it clear that he doesn't want to help. glanced at Su Laocai helplessly, hurriedly chased him out, and sent Xiao Jiading all the way to the door downstairs. Su Laocai had no choice but to come out closely.
Xiao Jiading froze, turned around and bowed his hand to Zuo Shiling, and walked forward.
That Huanhua Creek is a quiet river not far from the county government, the scenery on both sides of the river is very beautiful, so there are some flower boats on the small river, for tourists to play the scenery, linger and play.
Last time, Xiao Jiading and Zhu Haiyin came once, and they knew the path of the road. When he came out just now, he had already changed into a green robe, like a handsome son.
