Early in the morning of the second day, Xiao Qinglang took Xu Chu, who had been cultivating all night, to Zhang Jiaotou's house.

At this time, his body had not been moved, and the surrounding environment was intact.

This house is a big brick house, not dilapidated, but not good. It can only be said that in the eyes of ordinary people, it can be regarded as a spacious house.

The furnishings in the house are clear at a glance, perhaps because there is no hostess, so it is a little messy. On the kang by the window, a lot of dirty clothes were piled up messily, and in the corner of the door were half-empty water tanks and missing water scoops.

Xu Chu looked around and made sure that there were no footprints of outsiders on the ground, and there were no unusual traces. She walked over to the dead man and crouched down to investigate.

There was only one pillar in the room, and there was a blood stain on it, and the corpse of the head of the cell next to it was lying sideways.

"The deceased, male, was five feet six inches long, and his body was fat. The cornea is cloudy, the muscles are stiff, and the joints are difficult to bend. She simply removed the deceased's clothes, then looked at the corpse spots that had accumulated on the lower part of his corpse and said, "Pressing on the corpse spots only fades slightly, and the corpse spots do not displace. In addition, the corpse had already exhibited decaying abdominal distention, so it is assumed that the time of death was about four hours ago. ”

As she spoke, she went to the autopsy to remove the hair from the wound on the deceased's skull. But when I saw his wounds, his skin and flesh were tightened, and there was blood on all sides, which was confirmed to be left by his life.

"There was no foreign body penetrating the wound on the head, it was a significant impact, and there was no serious damage to the skull. The cause of death is suspected to be a severe blow to the head against a pillar, causing cerebral hemorrhage or brain injury resulting in brain hypoxia. The exact cause of death requires an autopsy to determine. ”

"There are no visible injuries on the body, the clothes are neat, and there are no signs of struggle. There was no sign of outsiders in the room, and there were guards guarding all around, confirming that he was the only one in the room. It can be inferred that this person committed suicide. ”

Xiao Qinglang saw that she put down the head of the deceased, so he filled in the autopsy form in his hand according to her words.

"Probably determined to be suicide?"

Xu Chu nodded, "The traces of the scene and the situation of the deceased's body can prove that he committed suicide, and there is no problem with this." ”

Knowing that Zhang Cellhead committed suicide was enough for Xiao Qinglang. According to his previous investigation, Zhang Celltou has been quite generous over the years. But in fact, he is not a distant relative of Boss Zhang's family, but a broker who once gave Boss Zhang the benefit of a confidante in the Qinglou.

How could a good broker suddenly deign to climb the relationship in the Qinglou, and finally live here and become a cell boss who does not enter the stream. There must be an inside story in this matter, but it's a pity that now people are dying like lights going out, and the vine that Xiao Qinglang just wanted to follow is broken again.

The spring breeze is warm, and the sun shines warmly on the earth. The streets of Jinzhou City, which have always been full of people, are empty today, and a lot of excitement has been lost.

Don't talk about ordinary people, at this time, it is the lady and lady of a rich and noble family who have always been above the top, and they can only let people drive the carriage to avoid both sides of the road.

"Hey, eldest sister, I heard that King Jing'an has a handsome face, and his high position and power are highly valued by the emperor. Last time you went to Liu's Mansion, have you seen it? Is it really as noble as it is rumored? In the carriage, a delicate woman in a pink Luo skirt lifted her dress with affection in her eyes and looked out. But after watching for a long time, all I saw were officers and soldiers blocking the road on both sides, and there were no high-headed and high-spirited people walking by.

The woman who was questioned frowned at this time due to irritability, and when she heard the second sister's question clearly, she immediately lowered her eyes with a pale face. She never wanted to remember the events of that day.

Even the jade-faced Yama who was rumored to be a god in the world, she couldn't afford to be interested in it. As long as she thought of Xu Chu's autopsy that day, she felt chills, her legs trembled, and she didn't dare to rely on her identity and family background to be arrogant.

It was as if Xu Chu's words that day had already been deeply imprinted into her blood and bones, so that no matter what, she couldn't discard the fear that followed her.

In the past two days, she has never had a day of peace, and sometimes she wonders why a seemingly ordinary woman with beautiful eyebrows dares to ......

She would even think back to what King Jing'an's expression was at that time, and whether she had ever disliked that woman. But no, the only thing she remembered was the cold but inclusive voice that praised the woman who dissected the corpse.

"How long is this going to be blocked, is it possible that we have to avoid it all day?"

"Who knows, but I heard that the prince from the capital today is going to try the case in person, and it seems that he is trying a few adults who are corrupt and pervert the law."

"Yes, yes, I've heard that it's been a mess in the yamen these days. It is said that Lord Liu and Lord Song committed suicide in fear of crime, and several adults underground were also imprisoned......"

The people on the left and right whispered about it, and they didn't know everything about the affairs of the government. However, I know a lot about those officials who bully people.

"Last time, Zhao Sijiao even allowed his subordinates to hurt the guy in my shop, and then the guy wanted to go to the yamen to complain, and he sent someone to beat him. Until now, I can't get out of bed and walk around. The shopkeeper of a shop was a little angry when he talked about it.

"It's good to hurt people, I heard that Zhao Si Prison also forcibly took the wife of a thief, and forced the woman to commit suicide by hanging herself. But later, he helped to release the thief, and the woman's in-laws did not pursue it anymore, but buried him in a hurry. ”

Some things have caused a stir in the market, but the so-called people do not sue the officials and do not hold them accountable. Without the bitter master, coupled with the turbid situation of Jinzhou City's officialdom, naturally no one will pursue the crimes of Zhao Weipin and others.

And they are good at whitewashing the peace, and then there are people in the court to help cover it up, and there are indeed "clean officials" like Tang Rucai in Jinzhou City, so it is reasonable that the assessment officials sent by the Ministry will be blinded.

After all, not everyone is Lord Yuan, and not everyone can get a head start.

While everyone was gossiping, they saw the sound of wheels coming from far and near, and then some people dressed in coarse cloth angrily took swill and rotten vegetable leaves and threw them into the middle of the road. Some people, perhaps in the future, had time to prepare, so they simply went to the side of the road and picked up stones and threw them over.

The shopkeeper who had just spoken followed everyone to look over, and saw a series of seven or eight prisoner cars escorting several adults and the rich master all the way.

The notice for the trial of these men had been posted two days earlier. Therefore, many people who had been oppressed or had resentment gathered from afar.

As far as they are concerned, even if the final result is the protection of officials and officials, throwing some rotten eggs with vegetable leaves can also send out the depression in their hearts.

The officers and soldiers who followed on both sides were miserable at this time, not only to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to assassinate a few people, but also to dodge the filth that flew in with their heads and faces.

Originally, the prince decided to bring people to the yamen for trial in advance, but Na Cheng thought that there were too many prisoners this time, and the room in which the yamen was temporarily detained for trial was not enough at all. In addition, Lord Xu proposed that arraignment in public can also deter some people who are ghostly and sloppy, and at the same time, it can also make students who want to participate in the scientific examination and enter the official career feel in awe of honesty and justice. That's why there is such an accident today.

When the group reluctantly reached the yamen, they saw that in addition to the few people who were taken into custody in the prisoner car, the officials on both sides were also affected by the sour smell on their bodies.

In fact, there is nothing to interrogate when the court is opened, as early as two days ago, after knowing the death of Liu Rangmo and Song Derong, their minds were confused. Mo said that those merchants, even Song Yuanqing and others, also confessed to their crimes.

Starting from pretending to be an official, to accumulating wealth during his tenure or bullying men and women, he did not dare to hide it in the slightest.

Of course, the fake thing was not revealed in the poster, but the remaining crimes were enough for those people to die a few times.

The King of Jing'an personally arrested the case, and the Lord of the Criminal Department who came overnight with a holy edict read out the holy decree of severe punishment and execution. At this time, who dares to say unconvinced?

"Zheng Jiupin Zhao Mo Song Yuanqing, Zhao Weipin, the director of prison, Zhao Huanran, the governor of prison litigation and other affairs, perverted the law for bribes, disregarded human life, and sentenced him to be executed. Relatives in the family, three generations of slaves, cannot be redeemed. In addition, those who privately opened copper mines, privately made weapons, and profited from it were all punished for the crime of rebellion, and all the three clans were sentenced to beheading. In addition, the six ethnic groups were further studied, the men were filled with the army, and the female dependents were relegated to the lowly nationality and exiled for 3,000 miles. ”

There is a signed confession, there is conclusive evidence, and there is also the place where Lord Yuan and other Qin messengers from the capital personally sealed the smelting weapons that had been operating for many years and minted silver privately. Therefore, it is not surprising that he was sentenced to the crime of treason.

After the adults from the Criminal Department read the holy decree according to the script, they saw that Xiao Qinglang had already slapped the shocking wood and dealt with the criminals one by one.

With the fake Liu Rang Mo and the others subduing the law, the matter of Jinzhou City can be regarded as an end for the time being.

And as Xu Qinhe once again took control of the overall situation, Lord Yuan and Tang Rucai also sorted out the officials of Jinzhou City, who had been chaotic for many days. At the same time, the garrison led by General Huang also escorted all the captured weapons, private silver and other items to the capital.

"Still sorting out the dossier today?" Xu Chu helped Xiao Qinglang put the sealed file aside, and then took up the pen to record the unusualness that the two of them found from various confessions, and then raised his head to look at Xiao Qinglang and asked.

Xiao Qinglang rubbed his aching forehead, took a deep breath and said, "The rest are all small fish and shrimp, just leave them to Xu Qinhe and the others." ”

Sorting out the dossier, especially to find a breakthrough and things about the people behind the scenes, is a tedious and extremely energy-consuming task.

Even so, the letter evidence and various documents that are more than half a person tall on the desk at the moment were all selected by Lord Yuan and Xu Qinhe after screening. This shows how shocking the private behavior of those people has been in the past ten or even twenty years.
