Chapter 33 Confirmation II

Qin Tai said: "The Sima family is a family, and it is also a royal family in the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasty. Such a family, even if it is defeated now, is also a local powerhouse. Sima Ying is a man who values face very much. According to the information that the master took from the county government, the entire Sima family has been here for nearly a hundred years. Sima's family produced a total of 37 women, that is, women who committed suicide or self-harm after their husbands died. More than eighty widows whose husbands died with their eldest children in one hand. There are more than 200 filial daughters, that is, one of the parents dies, and the children keep filial piety and eat fast for their parents. In the past hundred years, there have only been three bad columns, one is a widow secretly meeting her lover, and finally both of them sink into the pond together. One is that a girl meets a boy and makes a private decision for life without the consent of her parents. As a result, the girl broke her hands and feet, cut off her tongue, and was imprisoned in the tower of the madman for the rest of her life. The last one was when she wore a red dress during her mother's filial piety, and the girl was driven out of Sima's house by the family with her name removed, and finally starved to death not far from the town of Zailai. It can be seen that the Sima family is a big family that attaches great importance to chastity. With such a family, such a father, and what Sima Ling did, Sima Ying really had no other way but to deal with Sima Ling. ”

Zhan Xiao sighed and said, "How can there be such a ruthless father in the world? How did he get his hands on it? ”

The "old drunkard" master on the side was drinking, and he didn't know whether to answer Zhan Xiaoxiao or talk to himself. He said: "There are no absolutes in the world. Sometimes a person will value their face more than anything else. For the sake of his own face, no matter how vicious and despicable things are, he will do them. Women are always the last victims, and the most unlucky ones. For the sake of their own face and reputation, men can not care about their existence at all. ”

Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao both glanced at the "old drunkard" master at the same time. Master's words are true, but they are also a bit extreme, and I can hear that he has his own unspeakable hardships.

Qin Tai knew that even if he asked the "old drunkard" master now, the "old drunkard" master would not say anything.

Qin Tai said again: "According to my estimate, things should be like this. Sima Ying sent the fourth lady away, and the fourth lady and the youngest son should be buried somewhere else. After returning, Sima Ying couldn't sleep for a long time. Sima Ying came to the fourth lady's room unruly, preparing to see things and think about people in the fourth lady's room. But I saw the diary of the fourth lady in the fourth lady's room, and knew some things that I didn't usually know. Sima Ying found out that her fourth lady had so many things to hide from her, and she was very depressed. In order to know more about it, he searched frantically in the fourth lady's room alone. Gradually, all the problems were exposed, and his wife, the eldest lady, did not die of natural illness, but the masterpiece of the fourth lady and her second daughter Sima Ling. The family members of the four ladies are actually not from the Ming Kingdom, but the Japanese people, and some of them are the Japanese who endanger the coastal areas. His second daughter Sima Ling not only helped the fourth lady poison the eldest lady, but also helped teach all the Sima family members a lesson, so that the fourth lady had absolute prestige in the Sima family. I also knew that the fourth lady betrayed herself and revealed the secrets of the Sima family to the Japanese Kou. As a result, the Japanese people had their own sphere of influence in the town of Zailai. I know more about Sima Ling's bullying. In the end, the fourth lady also wrote about the fact that Sima Ling poisoned herself and her children. Sima Ying was really about to collapse, but she didn't expect that the women in the family were more powerful than the other, and they would hide so many things about themselves. Sima Ying took all the letters and journals with him. At the same time, he sent someone to secretly spy on his second daughter Sima Ling. It was only a few days before someone reported Sima Ling's situation, and Sima Ying knew that something big was going to happen. If a girl gets pregnant before marriage, he, the father, will lose face. Coupled with the husband's family who have been engaged, they are also wealthy and powerful. If they know that their future daughter-in-law is this kind of person, not only will they not be able to marry their families, but they will also become enemies. Because of Sima Ling's scandal, there will also be an anti-Sima Ying storm within the Sima family. For the sake of her own status, for her own face, in order not to lose the dignity of her family, and for the interests of the Sima family, Sima Ying decided to give up this biological daughter. He secretly ordered a large and heavy coffin, and put sweat medicine on Sima Ling's dinner. After Sima Ling fell asleep, he put Sima Ling in a coffin, carried him out of Sima's house like a dead man, and buried Sima Ling alive on the spot. Doing so not only preserved the honor of his family, but also gave his husband's family an easy reason to explain, and avenged his wife and children. ”

Exhibition novel: "Why didn't Sima Ying do it herself and poison Sima Ling?" Or after Meng Sweat Medicine knocked down Sima Ling, give Sima Ling a knife? What is this for? ”

Qin Tai said, "I don't know either. Maybe Sima Ying couldn't do it himself. Maybe it's because I'm afraid of being seen. Or maybe he was afraid that someone would trouble him in the future. Or that he didn't want Sima Ling to die so easily, and he might want to torture Sima Ling more. ”

Everyone was speechless, Qin Tai analyzed it in the slightest, and he really couldn't find any flaws.

Qin Tai said: "Now we have to take a few steps. First, re-interrogate all the would-be pirates. If it is useless, it will be handed over to the soldiers and taken away. Useful messages and people left for the time being. Second, Sima Ying's interrogation is also very important. Master, you just work hard, or you will interrogate Sima Ying. I hope there will be a breakthrough and more clues can be found. Third, Sandao, you take Li Li and them separately to verify the crime scene of several other cases. While re-recording confessions, keep an eye out for news from grave robbers. Ask them if they have anything to say about Sima Ling or a single pregnant woman. Fourth, Xiao Lingzi went to the county government to take over the affairs of Lord Sima, and at the same time, check what is special here. Fifth, I suspect that not only did Sima Ling not die, but she also knew all about these cases, or was an insider. I took people to track Sima Ling with Zhan Xiaoxiao Zhan Daxia. If I didn't miscalculate, the white shadow I saw in Shangwang Village should be Sima Ling. If everyone wants to solve the case as soon as possible, finding Sima Ling is definitely an important key. ”

Zhan Xiaoxiao immediately went back to prepare, wanting to catch a character that Qin Tai said, Zhan Xiaoxiao was not sure. But she once helped a master who walked on the wall, and knew some ways to intercept and capture the master of light skills. Ropes and crossbows are the best tools to make up for the lack of small skills.

The others also acted separately, and Xiao Lingzi, who went to the county office, was the easiest. Because of the letter from the Sima family elder, the county government will not only not stop it, but will try his best to cooperate. Xiao Lingzi wants to find the real reason why the Japanese people came here as soon as possible, and the Japanese people will definitely not come here just for the peace here.

Master's job is not easy, but it is not too difficult. The defense line in Sima Ying's heart had broken through, and he knew that he was certain to die. But for the sake of his four sons, for the sake of his eldest daughter's family, and even more for his own children and grandchildren, he will definitely have something to say.

"Ma Sandao" led people to investigate, but in fact, the main force was not Li Li and his officers and soldiers, but Li Zheng and their locals. Xiao Wang went with "Ma Sandao", not only to lead the way for everyone, but also to accumulate some experience for working in the yamen in the future. Li Zheng and Xiao Wang both hope to be like Qin Tai in the future, to be a good official who does practical things. Qin Tai gave Xiao Wang a chance to train himself, and while helping himself to investigate cases, he could also cultivate a master of case investigation.

The army has the army's methods, but within a day, the army has already informed the higher authorities and the relevant places about the affairs here. The superiors of the army officially let them go, and as long as they encountered something related to the Japanese invaders, they could let go and deal with it boldly. The local government also actively cooperated. All Sima officials in Anhui have recused, and more have resigned from their current positions. Sima Ying's eldest son, Sima Qian, who was doing business in Hefei, has been arrested and is on his way back to the real world. Sima Ba in Jiangxi has also been relieved of his post and is ready to be escorted back to Anhui or go directly to the capital. In a major case like this, the final trial power is still in the criminal department of the capital. Sima Qiu, who is studying abroad, will also be found and detained as soon as possible. This is the speed of the army, really fast enough and quick enough.

Qin Tai is also a resolute person, and now he has no clues, so he has to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger.

He gave Li Zheng a death order to find all the people who had a history of tomb robberies in the town before it was dark. Qin Tai had to interrogate the prisoners one-on-one. Whoever dares not to come, or who deliberately obstructs them, the army will deal with them with the most severe attitude. Li Zheng immediately went to inform his subordinates that he was going to bring these people back.

Zhan Xiaoxiao had been preparing for a day, but she still said that it was not good, so Qin Tai had to wait for this Zhan hero while interrogating the tomb robbers. Because it is necessary to arrest people, the biggest main force is only Zhan Xiaoxiao. Li Li told the officers about Zhanxiao's deeds, and the officers publicly promoted Zhanxiaoxiao as the number one master here. Qin Tai also had to accommodate Zhan Xiaoxiao, for fear that Zhan Xiaoxiao would not only not help if he was unhappy, but would also do something to Qin Tai.

Tomb robbers are repeat offenders, who are not only cowardly but also have no other skills. After Qin Tai saw these people, he vaguely felt that none of them were the people he was looking for.

But it's not useless, and a tomb robber provides an important clue. There was a tomb robber surnamed Xue in the town, and their family had been a tomb robber for generations. But many years ago, this family surnamed Xue suddenly stopped robbing tombs, and their family not only had money but also moved places. The tomb robber also stumbled upon the news. Qin Tai felt that there was something wrong with this family surnamed Xue, maybe it was someone related to Sima Ling.
