Xiao Jiading asked again: "If the criminal suddenly goes crazy during the trial of the case." If you suspect that you are pretending to be crazy, what should you do? ”

Du Dayin said: "Then you need to ask a few Lang Zhong to diagnose and see if you are really crazy." This kind of thing used to be encountered often, and it generally takes about half a month of observation to determine whether it is pretending to be crazy or not. ”

Xiao Jiading already had a general idea in his heart at this moment, but he hadn't thought about it carefully, and was about to go back and think about it, so he changed the topic and chatted with Du Dayin about the poetry meeting.

This is something that Du Dayin cares about, and Xiao Jiading's limerick poem at the poetry meeting stunned the audience, and it has been spread throughout Yizhou as a joke, and naturally it has reached Du Dayin's ears. However, Du Dayin didn't comfort him like others, because he could see that Xiao Jiading didn't mind this, so there was no need for him to do much to comfort him. just followed Xiao Jiading to discuss the matter of the poetry club.

Speaking of this topic, Du Dayin called Du Erniu over and said together, Du Erniu is of course the most fond of discussing this matter, and the chirping has been non-stop.

I was happy, but I didn't realize that it was late at night. Xiao Jiading got up to say goodbye and returned to Crazy Mei.

Lying on the bed, hugging the sleeping Crazy Mei, he thought carefully about what to do with this case.

Du Dayin said earlier that the emperor's amnesty to many outsiders in the world seems to have no reason, but in fact, there are unspeakable reasons. Then Wu Zetian gave birth to his child with Emperor Li Zhi in May, will this be the reason?

Wu Zetian was scheming, and in order to seize the queen's position, he even did not hesitate to kill his own children to frame the queen. And it worked. When her first child comes, she will definitely make full use of this to increase her influence, and let the emperor give amnesty to the world because of her son's arrival, which is a good way to let everyone know her importance in the emperor's heart. Because the emperor generally only gives amnesty to the world for the purpose of establishing a prince, but Wu Zetian's children can also get this kind of treatment, isn't it equivalent to the crown prince? This should be in line with Wu Zetian's strategy. He also believed that with Wu Zetian's methods and Li Zhi's weak character, it would not be difficult to achieve this goal.

In this way, it seems likely that there will be an amnesty in May, and Du Dayin said. A death penalty case. It will take half a year to complete the approval at the earliest, so the death penalty of Geng Changshi's brother-in-law Jiang Zhongyuan will be pardoned at that time. That is, if your own guess is correct. Jiang Zhongyuan can't die.

If so. Why don't you be a favor. not only carried out Tang Lin's request to let him conclude the trial and sentence according to law as soon as possible, but also did not offend Geng Changshi, lest he wear small shoes for himself. It is also possible to meet the source left and right, and no one will be offended.

Isn't there a saying that the trick to being an official is to make as many friends as possible and establish as few enemies as possible. Geng Changshi is the No. 2 person in Yizhou, and his current position is still above Tang Lin, so it's best not to mess with such a person.

Now, it is necessary to leak the news of the possible amnesty to Geng Changshi, so that he can verify that he doesn't have a roundabout relationship with the eldest grandson Wuji? It shouldn't be too difficult to verify this. If he had the bottom line in his heart to carry out an amnesty, he would definitely make a gesture of righteous killing of relatives in this case, and urge him to be sentenced quickly and severely. In this way, the goal of not offending both sides of oneself has been achieved.

However, it takes a certain amount of time to verify, so it is necessary to come up with appropriate reasons to delay the trial of the case so that Geng Changshi can verify his speculation.

Of course, if his speculation was wrong, and the emperor did not grant amnesty to the world because of the birth of Wu Zetian's child, then at least he showed Geng Changshi that he had done his best, and at this time, he would not blame himself for judging according to the normal procedure. After all, this case has been targeted by the superintendent Yushi, and he doesn't dare to continue to press it and not let it be heard.

With this general direction, Xiao Jiading carefully pondered the entire plan, including what to say and what to do.

By the time all the details were thought out, it was already a rooster crow.

In the morning, after Xiao Jiading, he immediately came to the prison and interrogated Jiang Zhongyuan.

Jiang Zhongyuan was imprisoned on death row, but the treatment was no worse than outside, a separate courtyard, a suite of prisons, and all the daily necessities in it, Jiang Dian Prison even secretly sent him a Qinglou woman from time to time to put out the fire for him. Except that you can't leave the death row, it's basically like being in your own home. Eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and sleep on the brocade quilt carved bed.

Xiao Jiading naturally wouldn't ask like this. When he saw Jiang Zhongyuan, he was very uncomfortable when he saw him squinting at him with a big grin, but his face naturally did not show it. After Jiang Dian's prison was opened, only he and Jiang Zhongyuan were left, Xiao Jiading changed his smiling face, lowered his voice and said: "Jiang Gongzi, you should know the reason why your case has not been concluded for so long, right?" ”

Jiang Zhongyuan snorted and said, "That's because you're afraid of death!" If any of you dare to take on my case, my brother-in-law will give him a good look! Could it be that you are the one who is not afraid of death? ”

Xiao Jiading was so angry that his nose was crooked, thinking that this kid was too arrogant, and he had to clean him up. said coldly: "You may not know that your case has attracted the attention of the top, even the attention of people your brother-in-law can't provoke!" Moreover, it has been officially questioned by the supervision of the imperial history, and you also know that as long as the supervision of the imperial history is asked, your brother-in-law will not be able to suppress it, because the supervision of the imperial history is only under the leadership of the imperial history platform, and they can directly impeach the emperor for favoritism! Your brother-in-law is afraid and afraid to use his own black gauze hat to protect you, a murderer with two lives in his hands, right? ”

Jiang Zhongyuan was immediately dumbfounded, he naturally knew what kind of person he was supervising the imperial history and what would happen if he was targeted. also knows that what Xiao Jiading said is right, his brother-in-law's main purpose is not to help him get rid of the crime, his case is ironclad, and there is no way to overturn it, just to delay time and wait for the imperial court to amnesty, so that his life can be saved. Now if the superintendent asks about the case, and the brother-in-law is still pressing, and is impeached by the superintendent of the imperial history, it will be an official hat. My brother-in-law would never joke about his official hat.

Immediately, Jiang Zhongyuan's cold sweat fell, and his face, which was originally very ruddy, turned pale at the moment. Stammered, "What are you going to do ......?" ”

Xiao Jiading said coldly: "I originally wanted to help you today, but with your attitude of no one just now, I really have no interest in helping you." The evidence in your case is already very sufficient, there is no need to ask you anything at all, since you look down on me, there is no need for me to help you, you wait to go to the court! With that, he flicked the sleeves of his robe, turned around and left.

The sentence "waiting to go to the court" made Jiang Zhongyuan almost paralyzed on the ground. The more rich and noble people are, the more afraid of death, because the glory and wealth in this world are too worthy of nostalgia, thinking that they are about to lose all this, they are put on the guillotine and beheaded, Jiang Zhongyuan is incontinent, and his crotch is wet. Looking at Xiao Jiading's back, remembering what he just said, he came to help himself, but he was angry with himself, like a drowning person, seeing a big log floating away next to him, he desperately climbed to catch up with Xiao Jiading, and said again and again: "I'm sorry ......, I'm sorry for ......, big brother, I'm sorry for ......, I said ...... wrong just now, I should ...... damn it" said, and slapped himself a few times. In order to show his sincerity, he used a lot of force these few times, and a few dark red palm prints were suddenly left on his chubby cheeks on both sides.

Xiao Jiading's expression relaxed a little at this time, and said, "Jiang Gongzi doesn't have to be like this. ”

"Big brother, can you sit down and talk?" Jiang Zhongyuan pointed to the soft collapse of his golden prison cell and said flatteringly.

Xiao Jiading nodded, stepped over, and was not polite, sitting on the soft collapse, while Jiang Zhongyuan stood aside respectfully.

Xiao Jiading said: "This case has been delayed for nearly a year, and the supervision of the imperial history is eyeing it, and it must be tried, I don't know what Gongzi Jiang thinks?" ”

Jiang Zhongyuan cried with a sad face, and said: "I ......, I don't know how to ......, I don't want to die, ......, big brother, please save my ......, you must save me, ......, my sister will give you money, a lot of money......"

Xiao Jiading waved his hand and said, "Don't say this, aren't you thinking of a way now?" - We all know that there is only one way to survive in your case, and that is to wait for the court's amnesty! It's only when you encounter an amnesty that you can survive, right? ”

"Yes, yes! My sister and brother-in-law brought in and said the same thing, asking me to sit in prison and wait for the news of the amnesty to be heard. ”

Xiao Jiading said: "But now the news of the amnesty should not have come down, otherwise, your brother-in-law Geng Changshi would not have been pressing your case without trial." But now you have to try again, and if there is no news of an amnesty once the process is over, you will only be dead, right? ”

When Jiang Zhongyuan heard that there was a dead end, he couldn't help but shudder, and his crotch, which was already wet, was wet again, and he trembled and didn't know how to answer except for nodding.

Xiao Jiading looked at the closed prison door, lowered his voice and said: "Since I want to save you, I can only continue to let the case drag on, but I can't hold it down like now, and the supervision of the imperial history is staring at, so if you want to continue to delay the trial of the case, there is only one way, that is, you have to do something?" ”

"...... me? Do what......? Jiang Zhongyuan finally spit out these words with difficulty.

Xiao Jiading laughed and said: "If you want to try the case, then you must have the criminal clear and able to answer the questions, if the criminal can't come to the court for some reason, then the case can only be delayed, when the criminal returns to normal, when can the trial resume." ”

If it were someone else, after listening to Xiao Jiading's words, he would immediately understand what he meant and what to do, but Jiang Zhongyuan at this moment, because he knew that the case was going to be continued, it was equivalent to sending himself to the carriage leading to the execution ground, he was already frightened by death, and his whole head was wooden, and he didn't react to the meaning of Xiao Jiading's words at all, and still looked at Xiao Jiading stupidly.
