Chapter XVI Inquiries
Although the people of Dali Temple separated everyone from each other, the news still spread, and soon the Ministry of Rites Shangshu knew the news of the death of his precious son.
I didn't catch my breath and fainted directly.
It's good, it's about to be the spring festival, and it's the busiest time for the Ministry of Rites, and the son of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu has an accident at this time, which is obviously a slap in the face.
The people of Dali Temple know that this matter is not easy to do, and they are in a dilemma, one is the now hot General Huaiyuan, and the other is the Ministry of Rites.
They had to take all the people in the West Courtyard of the Teaching Workshop into custody, so that they could slowly inquire one by one.
Of course, they did this for the sake of safety, but the people who were taken in did not think so, and there were many officials of the third or fourth rank among them.
"This official is a doctor from Taichang Temple!" The middle-aged man with a big belly shouted: "Dali Temple innocently detains officials, what are you going to do!" ”
The others saw that someone was picking up the head and immediately followed closely, if this was brought back by the people of Dali Temple, there might be gossip among colleagues tomorrow.
Some even think of the tigress at home, and they are afraid of it.
The arrestees of Dali Temple are very embarrassed, they can't afford to provoke these officials, but if they don't leave people today, they can't pay the difference.
Just when the arrestees were worried, the young master of Dali Temple was late.
"According to the law of the Great Ming, the officials of the Great Ming are not allowed to take prostitutes, do you want to stab in front of Banzai?"
Shi Kuangye's voice was not loud, but it was clear to everyone present.
Daming has been a hundred years, and some laws exist in name only, but it is still okay to take them out and make a raft, and Shi Kuangye pinched the lives of the officials as soon as he came up.
"Your Excellency is patient, if the confession is recorded quickly, you should be able to catch up with tomorrow's morning." Shi Kuangye knows the joints well, and he doesn't want to offend these people to death, but he can't let them go easily.
This case is too strange, although all the clues indicate that Cao Lang killed someone drunk, but with his intuition, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
This made the young master of Dali Temple, who was like a god, a little distressed.
Tonight's Dali Temple is brightly lit, and the secretaries took the people below to make notes overnight, and when they interrogated Jiang Banxia, it was already the second half of the night, and the person who made the notes yawned and asked, "Where are you?" Where do you live? What were you doing at the time of the crime? ”
Jiang Banxia didn't answer too much, she took off the token hanging on her body and handed it to the interrogator.
After receiving the sign, the interrogator was immediately shocked: "Are you from Jinyiwei?" ”
Jiang Banxia nodded, causing the man to look at Jiang Banxia twice, and when he wanted to ask something more, he was stopped by Shi Kuangye.
Shi Kuangye learned from the confession of interrogating Wei Liao that among the people who came to the workshop with Cao Lang that night there was also a little brother named Jiang Xia.
He saw that this person named Jiang Xia was a little disobedient, so he paid more attention to it.
Although Shi Kuangye is not very old, he sat in the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple by virtue of his real kung fu and was brought up step by step, and he has handled countless strange cases, and even the knowledge involved in the work he has systematically learned with his heart.
This person named Jiang Xia blames her for not having a skeleton that looks like a man, but she behaves in a manly manner, which makes him very confused.
Shi Kuangye sat opposite Jiang Banxia, and he asked casually, "What were you doing when Cao Lang went out?" ”
"I drank with Brother Wei, and then I went to the backyard to relax."
"Have you ever seen Cao Lang have an argument with someone?"
"Never." Jiang Banxia's face was as usual.
"Can anyone testify?"
Jiang Banxia said: "Brother Wei and Red Bean Girl can testify for me, I drank wine with them at that time, and then Brother Wei asked me what happened outside, and I knew that the dead man was dead." ”
......
Compared with the treatment of those officials and gentlemen in a single room, the girls in the west courtyard of the teaching workshop were tightly crowded in one room, and the women's low sobs were endless, and their expressions were closer to numbness.
Zhou Fuxin huddled in the corner with her young sister in her arms, and couldn't hold back her tears even if she was strong.
"Sister, what are you crying about?" The little girl wiped her tears with her sleeve, and she pouted while wiping her tears: "Look, the culprit didn't cry, why did my sister cry?" ”
The 'culprit' that the little girl was referring to was the daughter of Zhao Shilang, who had their house raided.
Zhou Fuxin patted her sister's hand, and she said, "Fuxue, it's rude to point your finger at others, it's not what a good girl should do." ”
"Sister." The little girl looked up at Zhou Fuxin with innocent eyes: "We're not good girls anymore, are we?" ”
Zhou Fuxin couldn't answer her sister's words, she just cried.
"It was her father who caused us to become bad girls, and my father and mother died." The little girl glared at Zhao Ying, who was in the shape of a turtle with a shrunken head, and she continued: "She should also die." ”
"Zhou Fuxue!" Zhou Fuxin scolded: "Don't say it! ”
The little girl pouted and said, "Sister, don't be angry, isn't what I said the truth?" It is only right for the father to repay the debt of the son. ”
Zhou Fuxin hugged her sister tightly, her sister was not like this before, her former sister was simple and cute, these words would never come out of her mouth.
The little girl who buried her head in Zhou Fuxin's arms said in a muffled voice: "I want to protect my sister in the future and stop being bullied, I hate those people, the way they look at my sister really makes Fuxue uncomfortable." ”
"Fuxue is still young, and when Fuxue grows up, she will be able to protect her sister." Zhou Fuxin comforted the sensitive little girl.
"But, Fu Xue really wants to kill them."
Zhou Fuxin, who was holding her sister, froze, and then the tears she had just stopped began to flow again, if she had the ability, her sister would not have become like this.
......
"You had a dispute with Sun Yaozong in the palm of the lamp." Shi Kuangye glanced at the transcript in his hand, which belonged to Wu's mother.
"Sun Yaozong?"
"The son of the Book of Rites."
Jiang Banxia suddenly realized: "It turns out that the fat man's name is Sun Yaozong, but what I did with him was not a dispute, just a small quarrel." ”
"Spout?" Shi Kuangye stared at Jiang Banxia: "Please talk about it carefully." ”
Jiang Banxia cooperated with Shi Kueye's inquiry on the face, but she didn't actually cooperate, although she was a little annoyed in her heart, she admired Shi Kueye's ability very much, if Da Ming was such a person as an official, there would be a lot fewer unjust, false and wrongful cases in the world.
Shi Kuangye was not easy to dismiss, in order not to show flaws, Jiang Banxia carefully considered his every word.
"When I saw him beating the girl in the courtyard for no reason, I said two words of reasoning, which is not a dispute." Jiang Banxia had a calm smile on his face: "At that time, presumably adults would definitely stop it when they saw it."
From Jiang Banxia's confession to her expression, everything was perfect, but Shi Kuangye always felt very disobedient, and in terms of motives, he couldn't find Jiang Banxia's motive for killing people at all.
Shi Kuangye's brows tightened, and just as he wanted to ask some more questions, the voice of catching a quick report sounded outside the door: "Lord Shaoqing, the people from Dongchang are here!" ”
