Chapter 166: Kaifeng Haunted House (2)
Jiang Yanzhi tugged at Min Weixiu's sleeve, "Then where is Liu Yuanwai's mansion, let's go and see the excitement." ”
The lady who sold the hu cake looked at him enviously, "I heard that Han Yanei's family is here, and Liu Yuanwai scolded him." Xiao Yanei, you went to see the excitement, and when you come back, you can learn from the old body, can't you leave this stall? ”
The eldest lady said, pointing with her hand, "Go there, see a lot of people, there is no mistake." ”
Min Weixiu twitched the corner of her mouth, how much does this lady like to join in the fun!
Jiang Yanzhi nodded with a smile, Liu Yuanwai's house was very close to here, and the two of them did not take a carriage, they entered a narrow alley in three steps and two steps, and soon saw a group of people with melon seeds and peanuts, and whispered a few words from time to time.
Yes, there is nothing wrong here.
Jiang Yanzhi parted the crowd in the old way, and one of them looked at it and became happy, "Hey, the three kings are here, the little one said, there is a bustle in Kaifeng Mansion, how can there be no you!" ”
Jiang Yanzhi looked at him and said with a smile: "Is your cow tied?" ”
Min Weixiu squeezed in with him.
I saw a house in front of me, and at a glance, there was no one living in it for a long time, and the weeds came out from under the stone slabs, withered and yellow.
The road at the entrance was full of snow, and there were several eaves, which had been crushed by the snow.
A man in a black robe with a goatee stood there expressionlessly, without saying a word.
At his feet, there was a brazier, in which there was still unburned paper money, and in the corner of the gate of Liu's mansion, there was an incense burner and a tribute.
But it has been kicked over, and the bones are rolling to the ground.
Min Weixiu thought, this should be that Han Yanei's father.
Just thinking about it, there was a warm feeling in his ears, Jiang Yanzhi came over and said in surprise, "It turns out that Han Yanei's father is the newly appointed deputy third envoy. ”
Min Weixiu asked in a low voice, "Who cares about the money bag?" ”
Jiang Yanzhi nodded.
Da Chen followed the previous dynasty and also set up three provinces and six departments, but the six departments were virtual and real, like the household department, which was basically empty, because there were three other departments in charge of the country's financial power. Among them, the three envoys are the main positions, and they are high and powerful, no different from the prime minister.
The deputy of the third division is the deputy envoy of the third division, and the salt and iron, degree branch, and tax are all under the management of the third division, and he is a well-known figure of real power.
"There's no need for a murderer to pretend, our Liu family still has a living person panting, so we will naturally sacrifice, your family's things, I'm afraid of my daughter, I will be poisoned again if I become a ghost."
Min Weixiu looked at it, Uncle Liu, who was usually kind and kind-hearted, was already hideous at the moment, and he was about to eat human flesh and drink human blood.
Deputy Envoy Han was still expressionless and cold, "I came today to pay tribute to the dead." My son said that he didn't kill anyone, whether others believed him or not, I, as a father, believed him. ”
When Uncle Liu heard this, he became more and more angry, picked up the rolling pin, and was about to beat someone.
Jiang Yan looked at it, hurriedly walked up, and after walking halfway, he remembered that it was Min Weixiu who had martial arts, not him.
Just thinking about it, Min Weixiu had already reached out and grabbed Uncle Liu's hand, "Uncle, your stick is used to roll noodles, and if it gets dirty, you can't eat it." Don't get excited, don't get excited. ”
Uncle Liu knew Min Weixiu, put the rolling pin on his waist, sat on the snow and cried, "The officials of Kaifeng Mansion have said that your son killed him, what are you arguing about?" Folks, look at it, the son of an official kills the whole family of the people, and he doesn't have to pay for his life! In this heaven and earth, is there any royal law! ”
At this time, Deputy Han San's envoy had already seen Min Weixiu and Jiang Yanzhi who came out to persuade them.
His eyes moved, stared at Jiang Yanzhi deadly, walked over, and made a serious salute, "I heard that the three kings of Dali Temple have just cleared up a woman's grievances." Han Ming implored the three kings to retry the case of the Liu family's annihilation. ”
Jiang Yanzhi stretched out his hand to help, "What new evidence is there in the case?" ”
Deputy Third Envoy Han shook his head, "Because my son Han Yun is a suspect, I can only avoid it." But my son, who I have personally taught, would never have done such a thing as killing his entire family. ”
Jiang Yanzhi frowned, every parent firmly believes that their children are good people.
If a case is retried for this reason, wouldn't officials such as Dali Temple of the Criminal Department be busy to death?
"This is already decided?"
Deputy Third Envoy Han shook his head, "My son has never pleaded guilty. If he didn't do it, he would never dare to admit it. ”
When Liu Yuanwai heard this, he jumped up, pointed at Jiang Yanzhi and scolded: "You are officials protecting each other!" Old man, when I went home, Han Yun was running out of my house, he was not the murderer, who else was the murderer? ”
Jiang Yanzhi neither pushed his hand away, nor was he angry, and said seriously: "You see, if he doesn't admit his guilt, the government will have no way to sentence him to pay for your family's life." In the end, the suspicion was lenient, and he had to be exiled. How can the murderer let go? ”
"It's not about officials protecting each other, it's about the law. There was a woman named Axia, whose husband died, and some people said, "Asha must have killed her." The government arrested her, but even if Ah Xia confessed, she retracted her confession and shouted at the last moment. ”
"Once the criminal does not admit it, the judicial department should retry the case, and it has been tossing and turning for several years, and in the end, the judicial department has not found evidence to confirm that Ah Xia is the murderer, so it can only be suspected of being lenient as I just said."
The person who knew Jiang Yanzhi before asked curiously in the crowd: "Then those murderers, all of them are dead and do not admit their guilt, won't the government have no way to deal with him?" ”
Jiang Yanzhi shook his head, "That's not the case, what I'm talking about Ah Xia is because the government doesn't have definite evidence to prove that he is a murderer, if there is evidence, such as a person walking on the road and stabbing another person to death, even if he refuses to admit it, but so many pairs of eyes look at him, the law department can also convict him." ”
"If Han Yun killed Liu Laozhang's family, the evidence is conclusive, and he would have died a few times, but no, which shows that the people trying this case cannot be sure that he is the murderer, or rather, the evidence they found is suspicious. Therefore, Han Yun's admission of guilt or not has an effect. ”
"Uncle Liu, think about it, if, if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance, Han Yun is not a murderer. Don't you want to find out who and why you want to kill your whole family? ”
"It's been five years, you don't dare to be Liu Yuanwai and sell Yangchun noodles rain or shine, isn't it because you are in great pain because you didn't avenge them. Cutting meat with a blunt knife is a painful thing. Sad story, it's time to end. ”
When Uncle Liu heard this, he covered his face and cried.
