"No, the adult is busy, wait for the clay sculpture in his hand to finish." Liao Geng hadn't come to see it yet, but he looked at it at the moment, full of surprise.

Lei Song should be, called Qiao Si over, and gave the file to Qiao Si: "This is the file of Jingzhu's case at that time, hand it over to you." ”

"Thank you, Lei Zhutou, this file will be returned to you after running out."

"It's okay, it's a transcript, so it's okay to keep it on file with you."

Qiao Si was grateful, found Liao Geng again, and clasped his fists and saluted: "Today, our adults ascended to the church, and the city is empty, so you are tired." ”

"It's a matter of duty." Liao Geng said and pointed to the only ownerless clay figure on the table, "I may know this person." ”

Qiao Si was stunned: "Indeed?!" ”

"Indeed."

Qiao Si was excited and pulled Liao Geng to understand the situation.

Over there, Song Ning released the finished clay sculpture, and as soon as it was put on the stage, Mrs. Lu gasped, her legs were weak and she almost didn't stand, Lu Liushi helped her, the crowd was in a commotion, Song Ning came over and asked, "Is it Lu Zhi?" ”

Lu Xiaoren followed her line of sight and found his wife and daughter-in-law, and helplessly walked over to support Mrs. Lu.

The two women couldn't bear it, one was trembling, the other was almost unable to stand, Lu Xiaoren replied to Song Ning's words: "It's not Lu Zhi, it's Li Chunru!" ”

"Li Chunru?" Song Ning was surprised, she didn't expect that she didn't find Lu Zhi, but actually found Li Chunru.

Lu Xiaoren bowed his head and replied: "This kid often comes to the house and walks around, we are familiar with him, and he must be not wrong." ”

Song Ning bowed slightly, and said, "Got it, I'll continue!" ”

"Lord Xiao Song," Lu Liushi asked, "there are three other people, all of them are old, aren't they?" ”

Song Ning paused, nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Lu Liushi asked, "Then Lu Zhi...... Still can't find it? ”

Song Ning looked at Lu Xiaoren, and Lu Xiaoren took Lu Liu's words: "Things have come to this point, don't be in a hurry, look for it slowly!" ”

"Father, will he still be alive?" Lu Liushi asked Lu Xiaoren.

Lu Xiaoren didn't deny it, he didn't want to break Mrs. Lu and Lu Liu's thoughts: "Help your good mother first, and there will be people behind." ”

Mrs. Lu wiped her tears and responded.

Li Chunru often comes to the house, and when they see his head, of course they are also sad.

Now that they have found Li Chunru but have not seen Lu Zhi, their sadness is mixed with fear.

Song Ning painted a portrait of Li Chunru.

The crowd was in a clamor again.

Liao Geng went to tell Song Ning about the thief he caught last year and related things: "...... His name is Li Hong, and he is thirty-nine years old, medium to tall, and his left leg is broken. ”

"Left leg?" Song Ning walked down and found a bone crack among several slightly long tibia, "Look at the location, right?" ”

It is difficult to distinguish left and right, but the location can be judged.

Liao Geng gestured on his leg and said to Song Ning: "It should be this position, five or six inches below his knee, when he jumped over the wall, he happened to be on the Taihu Lake stone in the yard." ”

"Mr. Yuan, please sign it." Song Ning and Song Yuanshi said, and then said to Liao Geng, "Lao, you wait here, and when the last three bodies have verified their identities, I will say it together." ”

Liao Geng asked, "Can you verify them all?"

"I didn't have faith, but now I have it." Song Ning said.

Liao Geng said he didn't dare.

Recognized another one, Quan Xinsheng's face was already gray, he began to sit in the middle of the meditation, reciting words in his mouth, Ma Santong posted it and listened, but he couldn't understand it at all: "What about you chanting?" ”

"You're just chanting!" Quan Xinsheng suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Ma Santong, "You are jealous of me." ”

Ma Santong sneered at him: "Jealous of you? You're a fart. ”

Quan Xinsheng sneered: "My height, you can't reach in this life." ”

"No matter how high you climb, I'll be able to see you fall from that high ground in no time."

Quan Xinsheng gritted his teeth and said, "It's a pity, you can't see it!" ”

He closed his eyes and ignored the three links.

Ma Santong didn't care, just sat on the ground next to him, looked at Quan Xinsheng's body, turned over his placket and sleeves, Quan Xinsheng said, "What are you doing?" ”

"Find out if there's any hidden drugs or something."

Quan Xinsheng said: "Hiding poison is also poisoning you." ”

Ma Santong didn't care about him at all, and continued to look for him.

Song Ning pinched out the clay sculpture of the fifth skull, and when he was painting the portrait, Tang Xingye brought the four cell heads and four jailers of the four cells in Beijing.

Several people are recognizing the fifth clay sculpture.

Song Ning set out for the sixth, seventh......

As the sun began to rise, Song Ning took off his gloves and wiped his hands to drink tea, and Song Yuanshi handed her seven confessions signed by witnesses.

Tang Xingye took five case files.

Everyone got together to discuss the case, and Lu Miaomiao didn't know where to buy chestnuts and a bunch of pastries, hugged them in his arms and smiled, and distributed snacks to all the adults.

"My lord, can I help you move your chair forward?" Lu Miaomiao gave a bag of chestnuts to Zhongyang.

Zhongyang came late today and sat in the back all the time.

"No, the official just listens to it, and I'll take care of you." Zhongyang thanked him, Lu Miaomiao was very happy, and went to bring food to other adults.

Don't forget Tian Fuxing and Tan Ren on the side, and the little guys around other officials should not have seen it.

Some of the hungry people hurried home, grabbed a bite of food, and hurried back.

Song Ning and several people held a meeting to discuss in a whisper, and the three people they finally recognized were all people in prison, plus Li Hong, who had a broken leg, a total of three people came from the cell of the Torture Hall.

A prisoner from Dali Temple, this person was a beheading prisoner named Su Jixiang Qiuju sent by Luoyang, but because the case was in doubt, he was sent to Dali Temple.

But after entering the yamen, he died within a few days.

"Died in the night?" Zhao Yi asked the cell boss in Dali Temple, "Directly dispose of the corpse?" ”

The cell head of Dali Temple is named Li Wu. He has been in prison all his life, from jailer to today. I don't know how many people have changed in Dali Siqing, but he has always been steady.

Li Wu is forty-seven today, his skin is thick and dark, his palms are like a fan, and his face is fierce and vicious, which is very difficult to provoke, but as soon as he speaks, his voice and tone are very gentle.

"That's right, the person died that night and lost it, the villain knew about it the next morning, because the formalities were complete and there was a signature from above, so the villain didn't ask." Li Wudao, "The prince and Lord Xiao Song may not know, if you do our job, you can only live a long life if you are confused." ”

"Who signed it?" Song Ning asked him.

Li Wu flipped through the file, and at the bottom left of the death note on the last piece of paper, Zuo Yao's name and private seal were signed.

"You explain the details to Mr. Yuan." Song Ning said to Li Wudao.

Li Wuying is, he doesn't have to be afraid of Zuo Yao, after all, there is no problem at all in this matter.

Song Ning asked Ma Changzhu, the cell head of Shuntianfu: "Everyone is acquainted, and I met them when I was in the torture hall two years ago. ”

Ma Changzhu knelt down, and he also knelt to Song Ning two years ago.

"Is it your fault that you kneel so neatly?" Song Ning asked him.

Ma Changzhu shook his head: "Hui, Hui's words, on the contrary, the villain doesn't know at all, these people are all dead." ”

Three people, one is Su Jixiang, a native of Luoyang, who died in prison in the autumn of the first year of Pingyuan. Wang Chengqi, died in the autumn of the twenty-second year of Tianquan. Hu Lao died in the twenty-third year of the fourth day of Tianquan.

Plus Li Hong in the autumn of the first year of Pingyuan, the well pillar of the nineteenth year of Tianquan.

There were a total of five prisoners, except for Su Jixiang who was handed over to Dali Temple, and the others were all from the cells of Shuntian Mansion.

"Don't know all of them?" Raison asked him.

Ma Changzhu should be: "Lei Catcher, if the villain knows about this kind of thing, he will definitely give you the wind, but in fact, he really doesn't know." ”

Qiao Si asked, "When a person dies and takes away the body, don't you have to ask?" ”

Ma Changzhu said: "No, as long as you report it to the official to sign, sometimes the master can sign and the thunder catcher sign." ”

"Let the family take the body or lose it, and the matter will be over."

Song Ning understands the operation here, in fact, everyone understands that in prison, no matter how the prisoner dies, he can deal with the death quickly anyway, and he will say that he died of illness to the outside world.

After all, as long as the above checks and people die in prison, they must be responsible.

Song Ning asked Ma Changzhu: "Has anything like this happened?" ”

"Yes, there is such a thing every year, if you want to check it, adult, adult, the villain will go back to find it for you. Although people are not checked very much, one person is missing, and it is definitely necessary to make a note to prevent the family from coming to find and check it. ”

"Command a brother you trust to do this." Song Ning and Ma Changzhu also gave Lei Song a look when they talked, and Lei Song understood, so he turned his head and ordered his brothers to accompany him to find these files.

Song Ning spread out the file in his hand and coughed.

Everyone at the scene followed and straightened up, and Ma Changzhu and Li Wu also stepped back, waiting on the side.

"Everyone saw that after the skulls were restored, all seven heads had names." She placed seven clay skulls on the table and introduced them to everyone.

"Sort by time of death. Jing Zhu was sentenced in the autumn of the nineteenth year of Tianquan, and his file shows that it was after the autumn trial time, so he has been imprisoned in the cell of Shuntianfu. ”

"It wasn't until the autumn trial of the following year that he was escorted to the army on the first day of November, but the result was obvious, Jing Zhu did not go to the army, otherwise his body would not have appeared here."

"The second time is Wang Chengqi, who was in the twenty-second year of Tianquan, accidentally killed others and was beheaded. But in the autumn of the same year, he died of illness before the trial, and his body was sent out of the cell. ”

"In the third time, Hu Laosi, in the autumn of the twenty-third year of Tianquan, caused the death of others in a brawl, hanging, and also died of illness that year."

"The fourth is Li Hong, a thief, who was sent by Liao Geng, a soldier of Beicheng Soldiers and Horses, but before passing through the hall, he reported his illness and died."

"The fifth, Su Jixiang, he was submitted to Dali Temple by Luoyang, and he also reported his illness and died."

"The sixth is Li Chunru, a juren, a student of Guozijian, who disappeared in Xinmei Mountain last fall, and the seventh is Su Lao Wu, who disappeared in Xinmei Mountain thirteen days ago."

There was a person who understood, and said in a low voice: "What is this, what is this for, specifically killing death row prisoners?" ”

"Didn't you say that you use men to make alchemy? Only with these people can the gods be truly unaware. ”

Song Ning patted the hall and said loudly: "So as the plaintiff, this official wants to invite all the yamen involved today, and everyone will face the gong and drum in front of each other to straighten out this case!" ”

"If there is no fruit during the day, it will be postponed until the night, and if it is not available at night, it will be waited until tomorrow."

"Tang Xingye, bring all the Shuntianfu cells and school inspections involved." He pointed to this part of Dali Temple again, "Please come to the scene with Lord Tang and Lord Zuo!" ”

All should be.

A few small servants often heard Song Ning speak, so they ran in all directions, anxious to report the news.

Zuo Yao was drinking tea in Tang Taiwen's office, and his Chang Sui ran back all the way, shouting as if out of breath: "My lord, it's not good, they're coming to you." ”

"What to say, what to say!"

The little guy breathed steadily, and Tang Taiwen asked, "Are all the clay figurines over there pinched?" ”

After he finished speaking, he and Zuo Yao laughed.

"Restoration is not the same as pinching pottery, you can pinch whatever you want." Zuo Yao smiled and asked the little guy, "Quickly call back to the adult." ”

The little guy replied: "It's been pinched, and all seven heads have been checked for identity." ”

After he finished speaking, the room was quiet, and Tang Taiwen was shocked: "What did you say, right identity?" ”

"How is this possible?" Zuo Yao said.

Xiao Wu explained: "Yes, one is called Jing Zhu, and the other is called Li Hong......" He retold all the information, "all have names, surnames and origins." ”

Zuo Yao and Tang Taiwen looked at each other, and both of them were shocked in their eyes.

It's possible to fool one or two people, but if it's seven people, and it also implicates two cell bosses, as well as several arresters...... It's not easy to fool.

After all, for such a big matter, even if Zhao Yi came forward, he would not dare to have so many people involved in making up a story together.

"How is this possible? How can there be such a thing as a skull rejuvenation? Isn't this? Zuo Yao walked back and forth several times anxiously, and reconfirmed unwillingly: "You, sure?" ”

The little guy should be.

Zuo Yao's heart suddenly held his breath, and he choked for a while before he eased up.

Tang Taiwen also didn't speak for a long time.

Say what?

They said that there would definitely be no way to find out about this case, but they had already done it to this point.

"Your Excellency is busy, you can go out." Zuo Yao didn't want to keep the little guy, so he waved his hand to let him leave, but the little guy was stunned but pointed outside and said to him, "My lord, Lord Xiao Song wants to send you to the hall together." ”

"Also, with Lord Tang."

Zuo Yao said: "Pass us? He's crazy, isn't he?! ”

Tang Taiwen reprimanded: "Isn't he going to take the entire court to the court?!" It just doesn't make sense. ”

"Let's see what kind of demon he has done."
