Chapter 68: Motivation

"Chai Qihong also has two sons and a widow, if they want to observe the trial, send a few tickets for them to come."

Liu Xianling continued to command.

"Yes!"

Zhao Lin responded, and suddenly said, "Tang Zun, my subordinates have a small suggestion." ”

"Oh?"

Liu Xianling glanced at Zhao Lin with interest, leaned over and asked, "What suggestions?" ”

"The law and order in Dongcheng this year is chaotic, and the murders are frequent but have not been solved for a long time, and the people have been resentful for a long time......"

Sun Zhang's face twitched, Zhao Lin's words were equivalent to pointing at his nose and scolding him for being incompetent, and he couldn't help glaring at Zhao Lin fiercely.

Zhao Lin ignored him at all, and registered on the county order, but the bullshit boss ignored it, and continued: "This is a dereliction of duty by our generation, but it also affects the reputation of the cousin. ”

Liu Xianling nodded, "Then what is your suggestion?" ”

Zhao Lin said in a deep voice: "This dynasty established the country with filial piety, but Chai Jie killed his father with his son, and heaven does not tolerate it!" ”

"The subordinates suggested that notices be put up and leaflets should be distributed, and anyone who was willing to enter the church could let them in."

"In this way, filial piety can be promoted, and at the same time, ordinary people can know the majesty of the county government and deter lawbreakers!"

Liu Xianling heard the song and knew the elegance, and immediately realized that this was an opportunity to improve his popularity and build his personal reputation.

Although he has been in office for a year and has issued many decrees, he feels that he has made remarkable achievements, but the people at the bottom know very little.

Once, he overheard a conversation among the people, and the prefectural magistrate was still called by the name of his predecessor, which made him deeply depressed.

The evidence in this case is conclusive, there is no risk of stumbling, and the opening of the public trial is to make a name for himself through the case, which is undoubtedly the best publicity.

Thinking of this, Liu Xianling narrowed his crescent eyes and showed a smile on his face: "This is very good, it is very good to me, the ceremonial room and the soap class will handle this matter." ”

The head of the ceremonial house and the head of the soap class responded: "Yes." ”

After the morning hall, Sun Zhang walked up to Zhao Lin with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "Zhao Zhutou is really a good method, he has solved a murder case in just two days." ”

"It's all thanks to Sun Zhuchang's cultivation." Zhao Lin's face did not change his color.

Sun Zhang stroked his short mandin hair, "Since you are so capable, the other two murders must be able to be caught at your fingertips, right?" ”

Zhao Lin said neither softly nor hardly: "The two cases have happened for nearly half a year, and there has been no progress in the hands of the predecessor, and the subordinates are not immortals, so they can only do their best." ”

Sun Zhang's face changed, and he brushed his sleeves away.

He Qingquan shook his head, thinking that the young man was still too arrogant, and he didn't know what would happen if he offended his boss, but he hoped that he wouldn't hurt his own pond fish.

Zhao Lin didn't care, everyone's black cauldron was about to buckle their heads, what kind of grandson did they pretend?

I experienced this kind of thing in my previous life, and I endured it myself, so forget it in this life!

After leaving the county office, Zhao Lin arranged for He Qingquan and Tao Erxuan to inform Chai Ren and Chai Yi of the news of tomorrow's ascension, and he and Liang Song came to the dock.

Tomorrow's public trial, he was worried that there would be too few people and his face would not look good, so he asked Tian Dabang to help him make up the numbers.

Tian Dabang heard that Chai Qihong's case had been solved, and he was surprised: "Found the murderer?" ”

Zhao Lin deliberately betrayed Guan Zi and said: "Who do you guess the murderer is?" ”

"Who?"

"Chai Jie!"

"Ah...... His third son. ”

Tian Dabang was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, and said excitedly: "It's a loss of conscience!" ”

"Brother Tian, tomorrow the county government will open a court to hear the case, you can listen at will, help find twenty clever points, and go over to strengthen your momentum."

Zhao Lin took out two taels of silver and said, "I won't let the brothers run for nothing, this is lost work." ”

Tian Dabang pushed back and said: "Zhao Zhutou is polite, I have to listen to such a big thing if I don't give money." ”

Zhao Lin smiled and stuffed the silver into his hand, "One yard is one yard, and I'll ask you about something, where does Chai Qihong's widow live?" I have something I want to ask her. ”

Tian Dabang didn't dare to slack off, and asked his supervisor Lifu to inquire.

A middle-aged man said: "The catcher is asking about Chai Qihong's continuation, right?" Her family's surname is Zhou, and she lives in Morning Glory Lane, the third family on the right. ”

After speaking, he sighed, "I was widowed at a young age, and I have an unborn child, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to live in the future." ”

Morning Glory Lane is in the north of Dongcheng, and it is said that when Qinghe County was not built a city, there were immortals who led the sacred cow to pass through this place, so it was named.

When Zhao Lin and Liang Song came to Morning Glory Lane, they saw garbage everywhere and sewage flowing sideways, and they had nothing to do with the immortals.

Knock knock knock......

The two knocked on the door.

Soon, a middle-aged woman opened the crack in the door and glanced out, "Who are you?" ”

Liang Song said with a smile: "We are the county catcher, Chai Zhou's family is at home, right?" Let's ask her about something. ”

The middle-aged woman noticed the official clothes on the two men, opened the door to let the two in, and walked quickly into the house herself.

After a while, a woman with a woman's hair in a bun came out, stood under the eaves and saluted, "The surviving people have seen the catcher, the house is messy, and the two of you are working hard in the yard to say." ”

The woman's appearance is ordinary, she is only about twenty years old, she looks about the same age as Chai Jie, her abdomen is slightly bulging, and she is already a little pregnant.

Zhao Lin saw that the courtyard was not big, but it was quite tidy, and guessed that the house might not be as chaotic as she said, and not letting them into the house should be out of the defense of men and women.

The three of them sat down in the courtyard, and Zhao Lin said straight to the point: "The murderer of Chai Qihong has been found, it is Chai Jie." ”

Chai Zhoushi let out an "ah", and then his expression quickly returned to calm, as if he had expected it.

Zhao Lin asked, "Did you know that the murderer was him?" ”

Chai Zhou shook his head and said, "The slave family doesn't know, but now that I think about it, it's reasonable." ”

"How?"

Zhao Lin wanted to know Chai Jie's motive for committing the crime, so he couldn't help but ask.

Chai Zhou lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "The first husband and his wife had three sons, the eldest son and the second son had a perverse temperament, and they were not to his liking, so he was driven out and lived alone when he became an adult. ”

"Only the youngest son, Chai Jie, is handsome and smart, with a sweet mouth, and he is deeply loved by his late husband and has always stayed by his side."

Zhao Lin thought to himself that since this was the case, when Chai Qihong passed away, most of the family property would fall to Chai Jie, why did he make such a decision?

Can't wait?

I only heard Chai Zhoushi continue: "Chai Jie is addicted to alcohol and gambling, and often asks his late husband for money. The late husband refused to listen to many admonitions, and the relationship between the two became more and more stiff. ”

"Once Chai Jie lost hundreds of taels of silver in one night, and his husband said angrily, and he would not share a single son of his family property."

"Chai Jie hated me at the time, and I still remember that look."

"The slave family went back to his parents' house and said that he was unwell and asked his family to take care of him, but in fact, he was afraid that he would be unfavorable to me, but I didn't expect ......"

Speaking of this, Chai Zhou's expression was gloomy.

Zhao Lin and Liang Song glanced at each other.

Continuing to be pregnant, Chai Jie felt threatened, worried that if he gave birth to a son, the family property would not fall on him.

Zhao Lin stood up and took out a call ticket from his arms, "Chai Jie will be tried tomorrow, and you will also come out of the court." ”

"Yes, my lord......"
