Chapter 161: The Beginning of the Osmanthus Flower in San'in (5)
For several days, Xia Shu has been soaking in the study, up and down, left and right, and checked the books that record archival historical materials, and there is only a simple paragraph about the records of the Chen family:
In the third year of Yonghe, Yongxing County ordered Chen Fusheng to misjudge the Lu murder case for bribery, so he sat down in a row, and the 32 members of the palace have been sentenced, and only one Huangkou child was exempted from the death penalty and was demoted to a concubine.
I read it a few times, but I didn't get a word more.
Just such a paragraph, I only know that Chen Fusheng was sentenced for taking bribes, and it is not clear whether he took bribes or how, and if he wants to know the details, he is afraid that he will have to check the judgment file.
The moon is dark and the wind is high.
Xia Shu Yujian touched the county guard yamen, and there were only a few government soldiers on duty at night, who were gathering in a room to drink.
Xia Shu took out a flashlight and came to the study where the file was placed.
I went through all the files of Yonghe for three years, but I didn't find a single word about this case.
The files of the two years before and after have also been reviewed, but there is still no one.
This is interesting, it is said that a county decree is judged, and the county guard is enough, but there is nothing here.
If someone hadn't destroyed the materials, it would have meant that the case had not been decided by the county at all, and the file would naturally not be here.
Above the county is the state, and above is the Dali Temple of the Central Criminal Department.
The case of a small county order can be tried by the state pastor or even the central government? It can only show that either there is a huge involvement, or someone is obstructing it.
If the involvement is huge, it is impossible for the county guard yamen to leave no case record. Moreover, Chen Zhongzhi's reversal of the case has the risk of persecution, which shows that the latter is more likely.
It seems that we will have to find a chance to visit the state capital.
......
The next day, Xia Shu took Shiyun out for a stroll, wandered to what is said to be the most popular restaurant in Huiji County, and found a corner on the second floor to sit and paint.
In this era, communication is backward, and restaurants have become a distribution center for news from all walks of life.
"Super cousin, are you going back to Jingzhou?"
Xia Shu's brush paused, this was Wang Xianzhi's voice.
"Well, it's been long enough, and after dealing with business, Duke Huan will definitely not stay for long."
In the private room, Xi Chao took a group of children to eat.
"Brother, I can't bear you." The little girl next to Xi Chao tugged at his sleeve.
Xi Chao rubbed her head, "Study well with Mr. Xie, and I will come to see you when I have time." ”
"Don't worry, cousin, I'll take care of my cousin." Wang Xianzhi patted his chest.
"Okay." Xi Chao smiled and reached out to rub Wang Xianzhi's head, "Then let me test how well you learn." ”
“!?”
"Let's talk about Jia Yi's five baits and three expressions."
Wang Xianzhi scratched his head in distress, and glared at Xi Chao angrily, "Cousin Chao bullies." ”
The little girl next to Xi Chao pursed her lips and snickered, "If you can't answer, Cousin Wang will definitely be." ”
"Cousin." Wang Xianzhi turned his head and asked the heroine Wang Mengyu for help.
"I will, I will." As soon as Xie Xuan heard that Wang Mengyu knew, he couldn't wait to show himself in front of the heroine, "Three tables and five baits mean that the Huns should love people, the skills of good people, and the way to establish people, which is to give them benefits and convince people with virtue." But I think that to deal with these barbarian states, it is not possible to use virtue, we must subdue them, beat them with fear, and beat them until they are terrified. ”
"......" is so murderous, everyone is a little uncomfortable, but Xi Chao is impressed by him.
Xi Chao asked them to talk about the way of a gentleman again.
Unexpectedly, Wang Mengyu coincided with his thoughts.
"Be cautious and be cautious, and prevent small worries."
Xi Chao was a little surprised, he thought she was just a little talented, but he didn't expect that she was a person with great wisdom, whether he underestimated her too much or she was too good at hiding.
Xiaoqi: "Host, still drawing, shouldn't we go out and dismantle a CP." ”
What's in a hurry, just say that you didn't admit it if you sent it early. If Xi Chao has any thoughts about a little child, it is either perverted or perverted.
Xiaoqi: "But the heroine has an idea." ”
What's the use, she won't say at all.
Xiaoqi: "?! Won't you say? What about the heroine still chasing the male protagonist all the way?"
It is advisable to upgrade the IQ.
Xiaoqi: "......" hateful host ~ even want to draw a circle to curse you.
After sitting in the restaurant for a few days, I didn't get anything.
It was dark this day, Xia Shu Imperial Sword quietly flew into Jiankang City, looking for a remote alley to settle in, and there were still many people in the Imperial City at night.
Inquire about the direction of the state capital and come to the front of the government office.
If there isn't one here, then the hand behind the scenes is powerful.
Fortunately, the matter did not cross the state capital, and a detailed record was found in the dossier, and after reading it, Xia Shu took a look at it and roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.
It started with a case of robbery of a woman.
A rich son named Lu Qingyun dominated the countryside, so that Ji Qiang robbed Zhang Da's daughter Zhang, Zhang Da reported to the official, and Lu Qingyun refused to admit his guilt.
Later, Zhang's body was fished out of the river, and Zhang Da handed a complaint to the county government, accusing Lu Qingyun of murder.
After some investigation and evidence collection, the county ordered Chen Fusheng to sentence Lu Qingyun to the crime of murder and executed him.
Originally, Lu Qingyun died, and the case was settled.
But I never expected that not long after the execution of the Lu family, I caught up with the Yangzhou assassin Shi Yinhao to inspect Yongxing County, and the county commander Zhu Youde reported that Chen Fusheng was greedy for ink and bribery, wrongly judged the Lu murder case, and also came up with evidence.
Assassin Shi decided to try the case in person on the spot, and finally sentenced Chen Fusheng to take bribes and wrongly convict the murder case, and beheaded all the houses.
Plaintiff Zhang Da was also sentenced to death.
At a cursory glance, the chain of evidence is unassailable, but when you think about it, there are many irrationalities.
First of all, Zhang Da is obviously a poor family, where did he get the money to pay bribes?
Secondly, the main evidence comes from one person, Master Zhu Youde.
This Zhu Youde is also very suspicious, suing his boss, don't want to mess up? If you really want to be so high, if you don't report it early or late, you just wait until the time when the assassin is on patrol to report it, skipping the county guard and skipping the level to report.
And this assassination history came even more coincidentally, Xia Shu dared to say that even if this assassination history Yin Hao was not the mastermind, he could not get rid of the main stakes.
Xia Shu quietly left after reading it, and the state capital under the feet of the imperial city was not well guarded.
Back at Sima's Mansion, it was the dead of night.
The case is clear, and the reversal of the case has to be done slowly, and if you want to retry a case, you must provide core evidence.
The main witness, Zhu Youde, doesn't have to bother to find it, this kind of key person must either die or run away.
The breakthrough can only be placed on Yangzhou Thorn Shi Yinhao.
Xia Shu finally understood why Chen Zhongzhi was killed when he overturned the case, because he used his force in the wrong direction from the beginning.
If Xia Shu doesn't know the ins and outs, Sima Yu is indeed the best candidate, with the title of King Huiji, or the auxiliary minister who cares about his life, the official is big enough and not afraid of things.
But if Yin Hao is the mastermind, then it is useless to find Sima Yu, Yin Hao's Yangzhou assassination history was still promoted by Sima Yu, how could Sima Yu hurt his allies for an inexplicable Shu clan.
