Chapter 175: Wicked Mother-in-law
No one else knows about this matter, Geng Changshi is Pan Beijia's henchman, so he knows about this matter. Geng Changshi also knew that this deputy of Wuzhen had a daughter, who looked a little good, but under the influence of her father, she liked to dance with guns and sticks since she was a child, so she was born with five big and three thick, she was nearly twenty years old, and she didn't have a mother-in-law, because no one dared to marry this Hedong lion roar home.
When Pan Beijia heard this, he nodded frequently, this deputy of Wuzhen is not from his own side, but a person under Li Ke, the king of Shu, Li Ke will not have any suspicions. And he helped him a lot in private, kept his official position, and proposed his marriage in person, he would definitely agree, and through this relationship, he would be brought over. At the same time, he also won over Xiao Jiading.
Pan Beijia said: "Your method is very good, I will tell Deputy Wuzhen about this matter!" When you say it, you can talk to Xiao Jiading. ”
The two laughed.
The next afternoon.
Xiao Jiading is working in the yamen. The porter walked in quickly with a few people in a panic, it was Liu Xianling and others from Wan'an County, one of them was Soap Li from Wan'an County, and there was an arrow stuck in the back of the corpse!
Look at the face, it is the criminal Shao Dong who was escorted back to Wan'an County!
Liu Xianling looked frightened, and without waiting for the porter to speak, he said first: "Oh no! Xiao Zhiyi, Shao Dong was assassinated! ”
In the morning, Xiao Jiading went to the post station and told Liu County Ling that Shao Dong would not say anything, and the princess had already said it, and asked Liu County to escort the criminal Shao Dong back to Wan'an County for interrogation. So Liu County ordered to quickly escort the people out and escort them back to Wan'an. Now he ran back and said that Shao Dong had been assassinated, and it seemed that his plan had been successfully realized! He was very proud in his heart, but his face was full of surprise: "What's the matter?" ”
"This morning, we escorted the criminal Shao Dong back to Wan'an, Jinzhou, and at noon, we passed through a dense forest. Because it's hot, sit down and rest. When he was resting, I don't know where Lu Dao shot an arrow, which hit Shao Dong's heart! He died instantly. ”
Xiao Jiading was surprised: "Then Shao Dong is the chief guard of the prince's mansion, and his martial arts are quite good, how could he be killed by an arrow?" ”
"When I escorted him back, I used a cage for fear that he would escape, and he couldn't move inside."
In fact, Xiao Jiading asked knowingly. In accordance with the rules, death row prisoners will be released. A kind of cage is always used, which is a sitting cage, and the head, hands and feet are fixed, and the pipa bones of people with martial arts are locked, and they cannot perform martial arts at all, so they become ready-made targets, and it is not uncommon to be killed by an arrow.
Xiao Jiading said hurriedly: "What about the murderer? Did you catch it? ”
Liu Xianling said with a sad face: "We immediately searched the dense forest, but the murderer has fled and there are no clues left. ”
In fact. They were so frightened by the accident that they were all lying on the ground with their heads in their hands, where did they dare to search for something. I waited for a long time, but there was no movement. Only then did I get up slowly, and after discussing for a long time, I had the courage to shout in the woods on both sides, and then immediately rushed back to Yizhou to report.
Xiao Jiading immediately took Liu County's order to see Kang's county's order.
Kang County ordered to listen. I was also taken aback, but I was relieved to hear that it wasn't in Shaocheng County. Immediately filled with righteous indignation: "Openly shooting prisoners in broad daylight, is there any royal law?" Then he asked: "The place where this case happened is not in our Shaocheng, and I am afraid that it will not be good for me to come forward to arrest the murderer." In this way, Liu County ordered you to report to the state capital yamen, and let them come forward to coordinate the arrest of the murderer. ”
Liu Xianling also knew this rule, the reason why he came to Xiao Jiading first was because this case involved the palace, and the prince had already explained that Xiao Jiading would undertake it, although it was later transferred to himself, but it was better to report it. So he hurriedly looked at Xiao Jiading.
Xiao Jiading naturally understood his thoughts, and said: "In this way, you immediately go to the yamen of the state capital to report, and I will report to the prince to see what instructions the prince has." ”
Liu County Ling asked for this answer, and immediately nodded and agreed.
Xiao Jiading came straight to the palace, naturally asking to see Princess Yang.
After Princess Yang retreated, Xiao Jiading said in a low voice: "Princess Qiyu, the matter has been done, and Shao Dong has been shot to death on the road with an arrow." Just now, Liu County's county commander of Wan'an County had already transported the body back. Now they went to the state capital yamen to report the matter. ”
Princess Yang was very satisfied, nodded, and said, "Very good, you are very neat." I'm satisfied. I will report to the prince, I will explain to them about the arrest of the murderer, I don't have to work too hard, anyway, the person who shot him is also a death row prisoner who should be executed. It's good to put your people at ease. ”
Xiao Jiading hurriedly thanked him, and smiled secretly in his heart, it was Geng Changshi who killed them, but he got the credit, I like this kind of thing of picking peaches on the ground of others, the more the merrier.
Sure enough, although the prince instructed to try his best to arrest the culprit, the thunder was loud and the rain was small, and the last thing was gone.
————————————————
After the previous things were done, Xiao Jiading decided to start the case of Han Bingdie's father's rebellion.
He first went to the Dadu Governor's Mansion and found Gao Fa Cao, who was originally in charge of the case, to retrieve the file. The King of Shu asked Xiao Jiading to be in charge of the recording of prisoners in this case, and he has officially notified this Gao Fa Cao. And Xiao Jiading's death to save the life of the prince of Shu has already spread throughout Yizhou, and everyone knows that Xiao Jiading is a big celebrity in front of the prince, so Gao Facao warmly received him.
Xiao Jiading successfully got the dossier, and came back without asking too much.
In the signing room, he read all the files. As in other cases in the early Tang Dynasty, the facts of the case in the verdict were simple: Han Bingdie's father was a captain in the border army of Tuobian Military Town, which bordered Tubo, and led 200 soldiers to patrol this section of the border between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. On this day, he led his troops on patrol, strayed into the Tibetan border, and was surrounded by thousands of Tibetan troops. This captain Han was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he ordered to disarm and surrender, and then their team was sent back to Datang. The king of Shu was furious and ordered an investigation, Captain Han was executed, and there were two brigades under his regiment, and there were brigade commanders. A surnamed Bao, because he did not obey Captain Han's instructions to surrender, was ordered to be tied up by Captain Han, he was forced, so he was not punished. The other, surnamed Li, followed the surrender and was executed along with Captain Han. The rest of the junior officers were severely punished.
The testimonies all proved in unison that Captain Han ordered the surrender of his weapons, and Captain Han also admitted that he had given the order. Moreover, the evidence confirms that the deputy Wuzhen of Tuobian Military Town has long found out that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and has repeatedly asked his superiors to remove him. The facts of the case are clear and the evidence is sufficient.
After reading the file, Xiao Jiading thought that several days had passed, and it was estimated that Han Bingdie's anger had been almost grinded, so he decided to interrogate her.
Xiao Jiading did not take her out for interrogation, but was in her prison. Because there is no need to coerce a confession, in fact, there is no need to ask anything. As long as she accepts the judgment, and the most important thing is to listen to her, and when she finishes what she has said in her heart, she has complained enough, and she will almost stop making trouble. The reason why many old petitioners always make such troubles is that in many cases, it is just because there is nowhere to talk about the grievances in their hearts and there is no place to vent.
So this time for arraignment, Xiao Jiading was ready to bring only ears and no mouth.
Xiao Jiading sat on the couch outside Han Bingdie's cell, and there were melons and fruits prepared by Jiang Dianjiao himself on the several cases in front of him, he leisurely looked at Han Bingdie who was staring at him in the cell, and said, "Miss Han, a few days have passed, are you still so angry?" ”
Han Bingdie said angrily: "You thief, I can't spare you as a ghost!" ”
Xiao Jiading said: "I'm not here today to listen to you say this, I'm here to listen to your father's unjust case." ”
Han Bingdie's voice turned angry and sad, and even choked up a little: "What is there to say, even if you say it, it's useless, I know that my father is a scapegoat, and it is impossible to rehabilitate my father." ”
Xiao Jiading said: "You always say that your father has grievances, but you refuse to tell me, you have heard it with your own ears, the prince of Shu has ordered this case to be handed over to me to undertake, if you don't tell me, who are you going to tell me?" ”
Han Bingdie stared at him, and suddenly said viciously: "You wicked person, will you be so kind to help me?" You're just coming to see my jokes and pry with me! Get lost! Get out of here! I don't want to see you! Get lost! ”
Xiao Jiading was so angry that his nose was crooked, he thought that this Han Bingdie would cry and complain about her father's grievances, so he decided to listen with only her ears, and when she finished venting, she comforted her and mobilized her to accept the sentence. didn't expect that she not only didn't say it, but scolded herself. Hudi stood up and said, "Okay, that's what you said!" I tell you, I have read your father's dossier in detail, and there are no problems! Even if there is a problem, even if your father really has any grievances, it is you, as a child, who are unwilling to say anything and avenge him! Hum! ”
With that, he flicked the sleeves of his robe, turned around and left.
Han Bingdie continued to scold: "You officials, you all wear a pair of pants, in order to climb up, you step on other people's shoulders and put people to death, you must not die well......"
"What a crazy woman!" Xiao Jiading thought fiercely.
Leaving the prison, Xiao Jiading returned to the signing room and sulked. He decided to leave this case at that, and he didn't bother to do work, so he first detained Han Bingdie, who didn't know what to do, for a while, and when she figured it out and her attitude improved, talk to her again, when to accept the sentence, write a guarantee, and when to let her out. Anyway, it was a capital crime for her to assassinate the prince, and it was no problem to lock her up until death. Although the prince said that he would not pursue her assassination, he did not say when he would release her. So there's nothing wrong with just locking it up.
Thinking that this evil woman was going to be imprisoned on death row in the dark, Xiao Jiading's anger gradually improved. (To be continued......)
