So the scribe coughed and said, "Xiao Zhiyi, the so-called fornication, as long as it refers to fornication. Everyone knows the meaning of rape......"

"I don't know!" Xiao Jiading said coldly, "You find evidence to come out, which sage said that fornication is passing. Traitor? ”

"This ......" the scribe sneered, in fact, how this case was judged had little impact on him, and he naturally would not risk the person who offended the prince of Shu to compare this case, so don't say that no sage has said this, even if there is, he will not point it out, after thinking about it, he turned to say: "I think they know what the word fornication means, and they also know what adultery is." So when they signed the transcript at that time, they did not raise any objections. ”

"Just because I didn't bring it up at the time doesn't mean I don't do it now. Aren't they bringing it up now? Besides, what evidence do you have to prove that they did the gift of Zhou Gong before they got married? ”

"This, that's their confession."

"But now their confessions have been refuted, and not only is there no evidence to prove their crime, but there is also a very important evidence to prove that they did not commit adultery!"

Hearing her say this, there was evidence of innocence, and several people were taken aback and looked at him together.

Xiao Jiading said: "Didn't Tonghui say before, she and her husband were good for almost a year before marrying him." ――Think about it, if they really had an adultery in a year's time, then why didn't she get pregnant that year? And only two months after marrying her husband, she became pregnant? This shows that she didn't have an adulterous affair before and didn't get pregnant, but she didn't have an adultery at all! ”

Liu Xianling and the others were dumbfounded when they heard it.

In fact, Tonghui and her husband really had an adulterous relationship before, but the time when the two had an adulterous relationship was not a year, but only two or three months, and Tonghui knew that it was impossible for him to meditate and practice anymore. So he married her. However, it was because Tang Chu did not pay attention to the case itself and paid too much attention to the literary style, so that he did not find out the specific communication between the two parties. The time of the rape only said in general terms that Tonghui had an affair with this man during his ordination. So Xiao Jiading taught the two of them to say that they had been getting along for a long time, which became an important evidence to prove that the two did not sigh. - It's true that they haven't been pregnant for a year, and they got pregnant two months after they got married, which can largely prove that the two of them didn't have a real relationship this year.

And this problem is because both of them took the initiative to admit their guilt when handling the case, and the clerk who undertook the case was lax, did not carefully record the confession, and did not record the case comprehensively and accurately. Thereupon. was exploited by Xiao Jiading.

The bookkeeper rolled his eyes a few times, and although he did not record it accurately at the time, he had some impressions, as if he was saying that the two had an affair shortly after becoming a monk. It's just that I didn't care about this time at the time, so I didn't record it, if I remembered it accurately, her husband should have said it differently than her. So he said, "Why don't we interrogate her husband?" Perhaps her husband would have said something different. ”

Xiao Jiading shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course her husband must be interrogated." Let them confront each other. ”

Soon, Tonghui's husband was brought into custody. Get on your knees. I exchanged glances with my wife, and we both saw hope in each other's eyes.

Because the two have been unified in advance, there is naturally no difference. Her husband confessed that the two only kissed each other, and there was no adultery. And. After a year of getting along, they got married, and gave birth to their first child a year later.

Seeing that the confessions of the two were very consistent, they naturally couldn't have thought that Xiao Jiading, a scribe from Yizhou, would help them get rid of their crimes, and secretly did something. And Xiao Jiading helped them. It was only done in the form of suggestion and inducement, and even if the worst was possible, the matter was finally exposed. I can't get any handle from Xiao Jiading, because there is no evidence left, and Xiao Jiading just induced them to say this, and did not explicitly let them say so, in the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Jiading has no motive to help her get rid of the crime, so at best, it is just an improper working method.

This case is not a death penalty case, so Liu County did not particularly care about them, since the case was not handled solidly, they were helpless, although they felt uncomfortable, they did not dare to show it on their faces. I have to think about how to please Xiao Jiading after a while, otherwise, why would people speak for themselves in front of the prince of Shu?

Liu County Ling did not dare to slack off, and Ma Shengtang made a judgment. The verdict is that Tongyun and Tonghui are not guilty and released on the spot!

It was a desperate situation, and the three of them were so happy that they didn't know what to say. But he didn't dare to express his gratitude to Xiao Jiading, just looked at him with grateful eyes.

After sending off Tonghui and his wife, Xiao Jiading left Tongyun behind, called her aside, and asked her, "Do you plan to go back to Baihe Temple?" ”

Tongyun shook his head gloomily: "The sisters in the nunnery no longer regard me as a sister, although they let me go now, they are afraid that they will not accept me." I, I'd better find another place to practice. ”

Xiao Jiading said: "I have a suggestion, I don't know if you want to?" ”

Tongyun looked at Xiao Jiading gratefully: "Brother Xiao, you are my life-saving benefactor, if you have any orders, I will definitely do it." ”

Xiao Jiading said in a low voice: "I have a good relationship with the new head of the Emei faction, Master Huiyi, if you are interested, I can recommend you to go to Qingfeng Nunnery in Yizhou to practice." Your aunt is the presiding officer there, and when I went to the nunnery to investigate, no one in the nunnery believed that you had done this case. They know that you have a mother-daughter relationship with your aunt. I also sympathize with you, and now that you are acquitted, they will accept you. ”

Tongyun's eyes turned red, nodded, and said a little choked: "If you can go to Qingfeng Nunnery to practice, it would be great." Thank you, Brother Xiao. ”

"Then it's settled."

Tongyun raised his teary eyes and looked at Xiao Jiading: "Then who killed my aunt?" ”

Xiao Jiading was a little stunned all of a sudden, not knowing how to answer.

In fact, who killed Tongyun's aunt Zhixian Shitai, Xiao Jiading himself didn't know, he just found out that the two men and women who Tongyun saw in the meditation room that day were the side princess Lu and the former Yizhou No. 1 genius Zhong Wenbo. He also suspected that it should be these two people who misunderstood that Zhixian Master had broken through their adultery and killed people. But the specifics of it he don't know. Princess Yang took over the rest and didn't let her interfere anymore. He exonerated Tongyun, not because he caught the real murderer, although the actual real murderer had been secretly executed by Princess Yang and his body burned, he used insufficient evidence as an excuse to change Tongyun's acquittal. Now, Tong Yun asked who killed her aunt, and he couldn't answer, even if he knew that this matter was related to the privacy of the prince of Shu, he couldn't say it.

Tong Yun saw Xiao Jiading's embarrassment, smiled bitterly, and said, "Please Brother Xiao must bother to catch the real murderer of my aunt and avenge my aunt." ”

Xiao Jiading nodded: "Okay!" I'll do my best, don't worry. I'll tell you in time if there's any news. ”

Xiao Jiading wrote the next letter of sponsorship to Tongyun, asking her to take this letter to Emei Mountain to see the head of Huiyi, and she would make arrangements. Tongyun thanked him again, and with gratitude to Xiao Jiading, he said goodbye and left.

Because the work of recording prisoners was temporarily stopped, Xiao Jiading was also preparing to return to Yizhou, and he didn't want to rush away, so he decided to rest in Wan'an County for a night before setting off for home.

Xiao Jiading was about to go back to the inn, Hu County Lieutenant had already been waiting in the distance, seeing that he was finally busy, he hurriedly came over, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhiyi has done his best for our Wan'an County prisoner recording work, and we are very grateful, so we prepared thin wine in the restaurant to express our gratitude, and invited Xiao Zhiyi to come." ”

Xiao Jiading said: "Okay, of course it's a good thing to have wine." ”

Hearing that Xiao Jiading agreed so happily, County Lieutenant Hu was very surprised, and hurriedly said: "Then it's decided." I'm going to tell the prefectural order, and we'll go right away. ”

As he was talking, two scribes came over, holding a small bag in their hands, and asked Hu County Lieutenant: "Hu County Captain, these are the relics of the murdered Zhixian Shitai, Zhixian Shitai only has Tongyun, do you want to return these things to her?" ”

"What are they?"

"It's all worthless little things, and we don't look closely. It's all in there. ”

Xiao Jiading said: "The deceased's things, of course, must be returned to the relatives of the deceased, Tongyun has just gone out, you hurry up and chase it out and hand it over to her." ”

The two scribes hurriedly agreed, and ran out with the bag.

County Lieutenant Hu also hurriedly called Liu County Order. Xiao Jiading stood there and waited. After a while, the two scribes came back dejected, and said, "She has not been found, and she does not know where she has gone." ”

Xiao Jiading said: "Since it's not a valuable thing, then leave it to me, anyway, I have to go back to Yizhou tomorrow, and I will give it to her after I return to Yizhou." ”

The two scribes were overjoyed and hurriedly handed over the things to Xiao Jiading.

Seeing that they were turning around to leave, Xiao Jiading stopped them and said, "Don't you need to register?" ”

"No," said one of the scribes, "these are relics, and they are not incriminating evidence, nor are they valuable, so we did not register them at the beginning, and we do not need to register them now." ”

Xiao Jiading nodded, and after the two scribes left, he opened the small bag and took a look, there was only a deflated money bag in the bag, as well as a string of Buddhist beads, a moon-white handkerchief, a string of copper keys, and a thin Buddhist scripture. I took it out and looked at it, and there were only three cents in the money bag, and the Buddha beads were just ordinary peach wood Buddha beads, which were not worth much. Handkerchiefs, keys and Buddhist scriptures are naturally not valuable, but the Buddhist scriptures have the signature of Zhixian Shitai and the inscription of the eyebrow criticism, which has the value of collecting as relics. I believe that Tongyun hopes to stay. So he put the bag in his arms. (To be continued......)
