Xiao Feng and Shen Lian sat down on the edge of the table and chair in front of the iron railing. Shen Lian's flying fish suit brought great pressure to Wang Tuiguan, and if it weren't for Xiao Feng on his side, he might have trembled even more.

Xiao Feng said with a smile: "Don't worry, although this is an edict prison, it is safer for you than the prison of the Criminal Department." Let's talk about it, why did you disregard people's lives and frame King Jing? ”

Xiao Feng's smile seemed to be some kind of assurance, and Wang Tuiguan didn't tremble so much.

After all, he has been a magistrate for many years, and his thinking is very clear and rigorous, and he has repeatedly scrutinized the whole process in his mind in the past two days, and he is very clear when he talks about it at this time.

Five days ago, when Wang Tuiguan was still studying the "horse stroke" case in Chunyan Tower with An Qingyue, he received a report that a corpse had been found in a dry well outside the city, and Wang Tuiguan hurriedly rushed to the scene with his officials.

It was a female corpse, probably not long dead, and the weather was cold, and it hadn't begun to decompose. This woman looked sixteen or seventeen years old, with a good appearance, a slender figure, and luxurious dress.

The first two points are fine, but this luxuriously dressed item surprised Wang Tuiguan.

Because this is not ordinary luxury, the silk in its clothing is actually tribute silk! This is not something that ordinary people can wear, even if they have money. It's okay to wear it secretly, but if people see it, they will inevitably be disrespectful.

Only those in the palace and the palace may wear it with the reward of their master.

Wang Tuiguan found that the woman's right hand was clenched, and after breaking off her fingers, she saw a precious jade pendant in the palm of her hand, and there was a Jing character on the jade pendant.

After taking off the woman's clothes, it can be seen that the woman's body is full of whip marks, although it does not reach the fatal level of deep visible bones, but the skin is also open, which is shocking.

Wang Tuiguan couldn't help but think of the recent rumors in the capital, saying that King Jing has special hobbies, is very cruel, and likes to abuse women, could this woman be related to King Jing?

Although he thought so, Wang Tuiguan didn't dare to say a word. He took the woman's body back to the Shuntian Mansion and showed the jade pendant to the Mansion Yin Guo Jun, and told Guo Jun about his speculation.

Guo Jun is naturally more knowledgeable than Wang Tuiguan, and he recognized at a glance that this jade pendant really looks like King Jing's thing.

At that time, Shaanxi paid tribute to a piece of jade, and its texture naturally formed a king character, Jiajing loved it very much, and ordered people to divide it into three pieces. The texture of this jade is through the sky, after cutting into three pieces, the king character on each piece is equally clear, it is really a talent made in heaven.

Jiajing ordered people to make three jade pendants and gave them to the prince, King Yu and King Jing respectively, and these three jade pendants also became the things they wore with them. Guo Jun is an official who can go to the palace to face the king, and naturally he has seen it a few times.

At this time, An Qingyue found out that King Jing's Mansion had indeed lost a maid, which was revealed by the person who bought King Jing's Mansion, and it was said that King Jing loved it very much, and people were looking for it.

As soon as the news from these parties corresponded, Guo Jun's head suddenly became bigger. Guo Jun immediately gave full play to the self-protection ability that Shuntian Mansion Yin should have, and directly sent the file and body to the Criminal Department, saying that this was a vicious case and should be taken over by the Criminal Department.

Unexpectedly, Liutai was not a vegetarian, so he kicked the case back directly: "In the land of Gyeonggi, your government has its own rights and responsibilities to try murder cases, and since it has been taken over, it should be handed over to the Criminal Department after a result." ”

Don't come to this set with Lao Tzu, if you think the case is hot, you want to throw it to me, you must at least write a closing opinion before I am willing to accept it.

Guo Jun was helpless, thinking about it, he couldn't poke Jiajing in advance, so he wrote a note and very politely asked King Jing to come to Shuntian Mansion in private, saying that he might have found King Jing's missing maid.

Unexpectedly, the catcher who went to deliver the letter came back with a limp, saying that King Jing was furious, not only tore up the note, but also flatly denied that a maid was lost, and asked his subordinates to reward the catcher with a fist and kick, and greeted Guo Jun's female elders by the way.

Guo Jun is also on fire, and the hidden stubbornness of the reader has been stimulated.

Of course, he knew that King Jing couldn't be provoked, but human life was at stake, and this matter was rotten in his hands and it was definitely not a matter. He strictly ordered Wang Tuiguan to investigate the case as soon as possible, and when the result was available, he could think about how to end the matter.

Wang Tuiguan didn't dare to slack off, and asked the catchers to go out to inquire about the news, while carefully studying the corpse.

The body was not fatally wounded, but there were traces of intercourse before death. And the action is very rough, corresponding to these whip marks, it should be a lot of damage. But the woman's face was not full of pain, but mixed with excitement and pleasure, as if she had seen some hope.

After Wang Tuiguan dissected the corpse, he found that the deceased's heart was gray in color, which should be caused by sudden arrest and ischemia. It is inferred that the woman died of cardiac arrest. As for the cause, overexcitement or fear, as well as congenital disorders can all contribute to this result.

Wang Tuiguan returned to the scene and followed the traces on the weeds, and found that the traces led to the back door of a private house.

This private house is a two-entry courtyard, with a high door and thick walls, and there are no houses within 100 meters around, which is quite private.

Wang Tuiguan asked the locals, who said that there were often no people here, but occasionally they would see very luxurious carriages sneaking by at night.

Jingzhao Yin Mansion has information on the land deed of the house in the capital, and Wang Tuiguan found the owner of the private house, which turned out to be the second housekeeper of King Jing's Mansion!

The palace housekeeper is not a white ding, he is all famous, especially a contemporary prince like Jing Wangfu, and the palace housekeeper also has an official body and grade.

However, this private house is only the second housekeeper, who is really responsible for the work, and basically has no official status.

Guo Jun was already relieved at this time, and he decided to buckle the basin on the second housekeeper of the palace.

If this crime is committed by the housekeeper, then King Jing is at most a lax discipline, but it is just a fault, and it is not a crime. I believe that King Jing will not be able to attack Shuntian Mansion for the sake of a second housekeeper if the evidence is conclusive.

However, the housekeeper of the palace is not a trial that can be tried if the Shuntian Mansion wants to, so it needs to be in conjunction with the Criminal Department before he can ask for an order to arrest people.

So Guo Jun wrote a very euphemistic recital, attaching the evidence and conclusions of Wang Tuiguan's verdict and reporting it to the Criminal Department in accordance with the rules.

At the beginning, you refused to accept the case, but now I have a preliminary conclusion here, whether you approve it or not, it is up to your criminal department to take the blame.

If it is recognized, even if our two departments play at the same time, you also have to take responsibility; If you don't approve it, the Criminal Department has its own right to review, and you can find out other results, that's your ability.

Guo Jun originally thought that with Liutai's personality and his relationship with Yan Dang, he would definitely press the case down, find a reason to retry it, and find a way to help King Jing's second housekeeper get rid of the crime.

Unexpectedly, the Criminal Department was very happy this time, and directly submitted the Shuntianfu to the folds, and asked for investigation!

Naturally, the fold went to the cabinet first, and after Yan Song got it, he didn't show it to others, and sent it directly to Jiajing.

What Jiajing's reaction was at that time, Wang Tuiguan did not know, and naturally he could not describe it to Xiao Feng. But after Yan Song and Jiajing sped on some secrets, Jiajing issued an order to let King Jing hand over the second housekeeper to Shuntianfu for trial.

Guo Jun is now numb, and the case has been handed over to the Criminal Department, why is it pushed back to Shuntianfu for trial? That's weird!

Strange is strange, Guo Jun naturally has a way to protect himself. He said that he was unwell, and he did not hesitate to push Wang Tuiguan to the front, anyway, the case has always been investigated by you, so you can continue to try it.

Wang Tuiguan has no choice, he has the lowest position, so he naturally wants to be a backbiter.

Wang Tuiguan tried his best to control the scope of influence of the case, so he didn't plan to bring King Jing to the first question he presided over.

"Who is that woman, daring maniac, what personal affair do you have with her, and how did she escape from your house?"

Unexpectedly, the second housekeeper's brain was like water, and he didn't pay any attention to Wang Tuiguan's hints. I don't know if I'm afraid that I can't afford to bear such a big crime, so I opened my mouth and said.

"Although that mansion is my name, it was actually purchased by His Royal Highness King Jing and used to rest when he returned to the city from hunting in the suburbs. I don't know anything! ”

Wang Tuiguan's brain buzzed, and he said in his heart that King Jing's subordinates are all like this-pig teammates?

You're trying to kill King Jing, and by the way, you're going to kill me!
