Chapter 055: Reasonable
Lei Hong walked into the back office.
"Your Excellency."
Jiang Wenfeng is burying the first case.
Dongning's old case is a terrible number to read, and these days he lives in the yamen, except for sleeping, he either looks through the files or tries the case, and he is so diligent that people have nothing to say.
At the beginning, Governor Wu was worried that he would interfere in local affairs, so he stared at him for a while, but later saw that he really only investigated the case, so he didn't pay so close attention.
Jiang Wenfeng couldn't let go of the scroll, but said in his mouth: "Did you go out to see Ah Xuan?" Is there any news? ”
"Yes." Lei Hong relayed Yang Shu's words.
Jiang Wenfeng paused, put down the file in his hand: "Is that the Ming girl that Chaliao has seen?" ”
"Yes." Lei Hong added, "The day before yesterday, I went to Xinyuan and saw her. ”
Jiang Wenfeng said slowly: "The Ming family is in mourning, and it doesn't hurt for the official to go, but what the son said...... It would be unkind to let a little girl who is in the throes of bereavement do this kind of thing. ”
Lei Hong said: "Ah Xuan said that the son suspected that her mother's death had a hidden secret, and she most likely wanted to avenge her adult. ”
Yang Shu didn't explain the special features of the micro identity, Jiang Wenfeng naturally regarded her as a little girl who had just passed the line.
After thinking about this matter, Jiang Wenfeng frowned: "If this is the case, I'm afraid her situation will be even more difficult." A little woman lost her father and mother before she was married, and her uncle and clan can decide her future. Her mother is in a deep mansion compound, and if the cause of death is different, it can only be related to the Ming family. She sued her relatives, how could she see the world? ”
Lei Hong smiled: "My lord is compassionate again. If her mother really had a different cause of death, would she be told to be silent? Isn't that a woman in vain? ”
Jiang Wenfeng picked up the half-cold tea and said: "You, you are always so jealous and hateful, I can't wait for the world to be black and white, good and evil. But how can it be so easy? In the past few years, the most difficult thing has never been the case, but something other than the case. ”
"At that time, the official was a county magistrate, and he once took over the case of a woman suing her father, and the woman was very full of law and reason. At that time, the official was young, and he was as indignant as you, and he was sentenced directly. As a result, the woman, although she won the lawsuit, jumped into the river a few days later. ”
"Adult ......"
Jiang Wenfeng raised his palm and continued: "It's not that I don't want to avenge her, but I can't just avenge her. You can't judge the case, but she can't live, right? ”
Lei Hong was indignant by him: "Since the law is all occupied, why should the victim bear the consequences?" ”
Jiang Wenfeng smiled: "This is the problem!" ”
He put his fingers on the rim of the glass, silently thinking.
Lei Hong thought about it, but still couldn't help it: "My lord, even so, you can go too." If the cause of death is different, and the body has been parked for a long time, there will be fewer clues. Besides, if I were her, even if there was really any evil result, I wouldn't let my mother be wronged. Big deal, don't ask her to do what she said. ”
"Don't worry." Jiang Wenfeng said, "Naturally, you have to go." It's just that I want to think about it, let her get out, and I can't bear the reputation of telling her relatives. ”
……
It was late at night.
Mingsheng sent the guest back and saw Mingwei kneeling there.
"Little Seven."
Mingwei glanced up and nodded at him.
"You're tired of the day, go rest for a while!" He said.
"Wait." She hadn't spoken for a day, and her voice was a little hoarse.
"Listen to the fourth brother, your legs can't stand it like this. It's going to take three days, and you have to hold on. ”
Mingwei thought for a while and asked, "Has the fourth brother eaten?" ”
Mingsheng's heart was relieved and replied, "Not yet, can we use it together?" ”
Mingwei nodded.
The brother and sister went to the cubicle together.
Mingsheng asked someone to fetch the food, and instructed Qiu Yu: "Hurry up and press Miss Seven's legs." ”
Qiu Yu responded, half-knelt down, and rubbed Mingwei.
Dinner was delivered quickly, still rice porridge and side dishes.
Mingsheng said while serving her vegetables: "Don't be too sad, take care of yourself, otherwise the third aunt will not feel at ease when she goes." ”
Mingwei nodded: "Thank you, fourth brother." ”
Then the brother and sister ate in silence.
Mingsheng saw that she had eaten two bowls before stopping, and was relieved: "That's right." It takes strength to wake the spirit! Don't kneel too long at night, I'll ask Ah Xiang to accompany you, go to sleep when it's time to sleep. Those rules of filial piety do not need to be so strict, filial piety is sincere, and taking care of the body can make relatives feel at ease. ”
Mingwei agreed: "I know." ”
After enough rest, Mingsheng let her go back to continue the vigil.
Mingwei knelt down for a while, and the little white snake slipped in from outside.
"My lord, your fourth brother went to Yu Fangyuan."
Mingwei's eyes moved, and he turned his head and said, "Qiu Yu, you go to the kitchen to help me make a pot of medicinal tea and add some refreshing things." ”
Qiu Yu agreed.
When she went out, Mingwei asked softly, "What is he doing in Yu Fangyuan?" ”
"I walked around, I didn't know what I was looking for, and finally I looked at the murderous tree for a long time."
Mingwei twisted his eyebrows.
"But I didn't seem to find it, so I just turned around for a while and went back." Little White Snake thought for a moment, "He looks sad!" I almost cried. ”
Speaking of which, Ming Xiang came: "Seventh sister." ”
Mingwei nodded at her: "The wake is boring, you can pass the time by yourself." ”
"It's okay." Ming Xiang saw that her tone was calm and relieved, "I'm ...... I'll kneel with you. ”
Ming Wei said: "It's very tiring to kneel like this." ”
"Don't worry! I'm used to kneeling! Ming Xiang patted his chest, "It's a trivial matter." ”
He secretly took out two cotton mats and whispered, "This is what I did before, and my father asked me to kneel and secretly put them on, which is very useful." ”
Mingwei's heart warmed: "Thank you very much." ”
……
At the same time, Master Ming received a message.
"Jiang Wenfeng said that he would come over tomorrow to offer condolences, and he sent someone to say it just now." He said to the man behind the bookcase.
The man raised his head, half of his face covered in shadows: "Jiang Wenfeng? He came to Dongning, hasn't he been handling the case? Except for the dust washing feast on the first day, no one's posts were answered. ”
"yes, I didn't think he'd come." Second Master Ming frowned very tightly, "He is famous for his iron-faced selflessness, and he is like a god in judging cases, shouldn't he have heard any rumors before he made this decision?" ”
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, the second master was even more worried.
"What if he could see that the cause of death was different? If he intervenes in the investigation of the case, he will definitely take the opportunity to turn the Ming family upside down, and if he finds out what he shouldn't find out, the county king will ......."
"Don't scare yourself." The man interrupted him, "What reason does he have to look at the body?" If he can't see the body, he has nowhere to show his skills. ”
The second master thought about it, and was suddenly surprised: "But if Xiao Qi is wronged...... She didn't look right. It looks very sad, but I don't cry or make trouble, I always feel that something will happen. ”
"Don't worry." He said faintly, "Jiang Wenfeng is no longer the hairy boy he was back then. Xiao Qi is a child and a woman in the end, and we, as her family, oppose it, and he has no confidence to go his own way. ”
Speaking of this, he sneered, with a little disdain: "In the end, this is our family matter, even if he is Qingtian, why do you care so much?" ”
