Chapter Ninety-Nine: Bending
When the local county order heard it, did it still have it? It's like falling into eighteen layers of hell.
Although he said that he had never seen Tang Jianqiu, he had also heard of Tang Jianqiu's temperament.
This incident let Tang Jianqiu know that losing his official position is small, and if he dies because of this, it will be called big.
He knelt down with a plop, and hurriedly cried to Ah Fei for mercy, almost holding his leg and crying bitterly.
"My lord, please be gracious, my lord!"
Ah Fei was expressionless, as if he hadn't heard, turned his back, and then whistled very leisurely.
He can't control other things, but only the things related to the case can't be ignored, and the most important thing is that it depends on how Tang Jianqiu handles it;
Not long after, Tang Jianqiu, who got the news, rushed to the local government.
In order to avoid being too ostentatious, Tang Jianqiu just brought a small team to defend himself, and then walked into the county office.
The local county commander was very frightened when he saw this, and hurriedly saluted Tang Jianqiu to show respect, for fear of slacking off.
"I have seen the pacification envoy, and it is really an honor for the pacification envoy to come to the cold house!"
As he spoke, he was busy smiling on the side, but his face was very stiff because of the fake smile, and even this could not hide his weakness.
"The county order is exempt from courtesy, this Zhenfu has always disliked going around in circles, I have heard Ah Fei talk about this matter, this Fang Ziteng case is a little curious, you can explain it briefly."
Tang Jianqiu didn't pay much attention to it, and after sitting down, the county order felt vaguely uneasy, so much so that he didn't dare to wipe it with his sleeve when cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
Tang Jianqiu didn't use murderous aura to coerce, nor did he reprimand him, but it was precisely because of this that he felt even more worried.
He could only bite the bullet and say: "My lord doesn't know, a few days ago, Fang Ziteng's mother-in-law came to report the case, saying that his good son-in-law killed her daughter, how dare you neglect her position?" Hurriedly called for questioning,
From the woman's mouth, she learned that her daughter had beaten and scolded since she got married, and she had not lived a day of peace, which was really pitiful. ”
"Pick and choose."
Tang Jianqiu didn't have the leisure to listen to this family's shortcomings, he just wanted to know the cause of the whole thing, and then analyze it.
Only then did the county order realize that he was abrupt, and hurriedly explained: "Although these two couples live a poor life, they are okay.
But just a few days ago at night, the neighbors heard a scream, and out of curiosity, they ran to the house to look, but saw Fang Ziteng covered in blood, and ran out of the door in a panic.
The matter soon reached the ears of his mother-in-law, and his mother-in-law believed that Fang Ziteng had killed her daughter, and she had heard her daughter complain on weekdays, so she was even more sure that the murderer was her virtuous son-in-law. ”
Tang Jianqiu just nodded after hearing this, it was difficult not to suspect that kind of situation at that time, even if that person was innocent, I was afraid that it would be difficult to distinguish between clever tongues.
"Why did the woman decide that?"
Tang Jianqiu can understand the feelings of the victim's family, as the person next to the pillow, he is indeed the easiest object of suspicion, but he can't be completely identified, and it is not understandable.
Seeing this, the county magistrate hurriedly bowed, and then said:
"It is said that the door was closed that night, the deadbolt was locked, and it stands to reason that there were only the two of them, and there could be no third person.
What's more, the humble post has been inquired before, and the two have no grudges, they treat people well on weekdays, and there is no such thing as hatred because of resentment. ”
The local magistrate didn't think there was anything wrong with him doing this, he just did it according to the logic of ordinary people.
Hearing this, Tang Jianqiu already had an answer in his heart.
He stood up, his expression was indifferent, his tone was flat, and he said:
"That is the case, why did Fang Ziteng kill his beloved wife? Is it just for the trifly things? Let me ask you, what was the motive for the killing?
Did you send someone to inquire whether the life of Fang Ziteng and his wife was as bad as his mother-in-law said, and what did Fang Ziteng do on weekdays? ”
This remark undoubtedly gave the county order a slap in the face, he didn't think of these at the time, he just wanted to close the case early and clean up, and he didn't inquire about the twists and turns.
"This ...... Back to my lord, these humble duties are still unknown, and please punish them! ”
As he was saying that, the county order rolled out the long coat in front of him, and knelt on the ground very hard, until today he didn't know how ignorant he was, and he didn't investigate the reason for it under a moment of brain fever, which was really embarrassing!
"Ridiculous! You haven't implemented any of the piles and piles that this Zhenfu said, but it's worthy of the black veil on your head! ”
Tang Jianqiu was resentful, he had never seen such a careless and irresponsible county order in the position of Jinyiwei!
seemed to think that this was not enough, Tang Jianqiu even added on the basis of the original, which he could be described as resentful.
"If everyone is as stupid as you, then how will the people of this world be wronged? Who dares to beat the drum and cry out? And how many people can't redress and regret because of their grievances?
If others have the slightest responsibility and the slightest action, how can they commit this unjust and wrongful case? If the world is dark, what should happen to the people of the Ming Dynasty? Won't you be poisoned! ”
However, it is the secret collusion of corrupt officials and corrupt officials that makes the world miserable!
In order to win the petty profits, the corrupt officials who lost their conscience made their people lose their homes, their wives were separated, their parents could not die well, and they were infamous for the ages before they died, what face would the people have to see their ancestors?
It's a pity that there are too many corrupt officials in this world, in order to take advantage of people's short hands, they use their greed for money to satisfy their own selfishness, just to be happy for that moment, but their conscience is trembling!
"Take this conscience of black money to trap others and ignore it, dare to ask a few years later, can you say frankly that this silver is greedy for you to eat the blood of the people!"
Tang Jianqiu's words were exquisite, and he walked towards the place where the county order was located as he spoke, and his words were full of indignation, eager to get rid of all the corrupt officials in the world.
The county order was completely scared, he never thought that Tang Jianqiu would be so terrifying once he became serious.
Although Tang Jianqiu did not take his head, the local county order was still a little afraid, and he didn't know if it was because what the other party said went to his heart, causing his conscience to tremble.
The kneeling legs began to weaken, just now, he had even thought about his last words before he died, he was afraid that Tang Jianqiu would dismiss his official.
"My lord! I beg you to spare your life, sir! The little ones don't dare anymore! ”
The county commander kowtowed to Tang Jianqiu as he spoke, just to ask for forgiveness, just now he went through all the mistakes he had made before in his mind, and he really didn't know what to do.
"You get up and talk back first."
Seeing him like this, Tang Jianqiu could only do this, making him look like that man-eating ghost.
"Yes...... Thank you, thank you. ”
I don't know if it was because he knelt for too long, which caused him to be unable to stand up for a while, and his legs were even weaker, and finally he got up with the help of others.
"This Zhenfu asks you again, is it possible for others to climb over the wall to get in and out?"
"This ......"
As he spoke, the county commander looked down again, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he didn't do anything about what Tang Jianqiu said.
Tang Jianqiu was even more angry, and he was going to scold this guy again, but considering that talking too directly would lead to the recurrence of the tragedy in his previous life, he had to change his words:
"Lord Prefectural, how can someone be convicted privately because of a momentary mistake? Could it be that you have any evidence in your hand to prove that Fang Ziteng is suspected of killing his wife? ”
"That's not true, I saw that the woman was too pitiful at that time, and it didn't look like a fake, so the case was hastily closed." As he spoke, he clenched his fists as he spoke, and if he hadn't been soft-hearted at the time, he probably wouldn't have had such a thing.
Hearing this, Tang Jianqiu slapped the table on the spot, and then stretched out his hand to point to the county order, and the county order was so frightened that he trembled, and it was precisely because of this that he knelt down again;
"Okay, you foolish county order! How can lynching be used without asking for evidence? Wouldn't that be a trick to bend people? ”
The county commander knelt and walked a few steps forward, and was about to step forward to hold Tang Jianqiu's leg but was killed by him with a look, and the county commander had to honestly lower his head out of fear, so that there would be nowhere to put these hands.
"My lord, listen to me, the lowly position is not so incompetent, and the lowly position also sent someone to investigate that day, and the neighbors said that they only saw the husband and wife that day, and there were no other outsiders, so the lowly position made an inference."
"Oh? What if the thief did it on purpose? ”
Tang Jianqiu lowered his head and knelt on the ground with a face on the county order, his expression was indifferent, without the slightest hint of softness.
"But my lord, if there is any movement that night, I think someone will definitely notice it." Even at this point, he still wants to refute one or two, but he always believes that he has done nothing wrong.
In the face of the words of the county order, Tang Jianqiu said this: "On the day of the crime, it was late at night, and people were already asleep, unless the action was too big to alarm the whole village, even if the action was very small, there were only a few people who noticed the movement.
If it weren't for the fact that this Zhenfu sent someone to stop that Fang Ziteng in time, I am afraid that he would have become a revenant under your sword now, what would happen then? ”
"I am afraid of my humble duties, and I beg Lord Tang to forgive me!"
At this point, the county order really had no other way but to forgive Tang Jianqiu.
Tang Jianqiu brushed his sleeves, but fortunately, Fang Ziteng did not die, so let's give this confused county order a way to live.
"That's it, now that the incident has happened, this Zhenfu will give you a chance to atone for the crime, the top priority is to try this case as soon as possible, and then make inferences after this Zhenfu asks Fang Ziteng about the case."
"Yes! Thank you, sir! ”
He was very happy when the local county order heard of the amnesty, and hurriedly agreed, and led Tang Jianqiu to meet Fang Ziteng, who was on death row.
Fang Ziteng leaned against the wall, his miserable appearance was indescribable.
When he saw the comer, he was very excited, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold the iron rod that had long been rusted.
"My lord! Wronged, my lord! ”
"Open the door."
After that, Tang Jianqiu looked at the county order, at first he was a little reluctant, but considering that the person in front of him was something he couldn't afford to offend, he could only compromise, and hurriedly asked someone to open the door of the death row.
Fang Ziteng didn't care about that, knelt down on the ground hard, and then complained:
"Ask the adults to know clearly, the grass people really didn't kill anyone!"
"You don't have to panic, get up and talk back."
After entering the death row, Tang Jianqiu was unmoved, and put on the appearance that he should be as a pacification envoy, and his expression was as serious as if the king of Hades was alive.
"Lord Xie, Fang Ziteng, the grass people, is a local, knows a few words, and there are no officials, a few days ago he was misjudged and misjudged by the county order, and he asked the adults to make decisions for the grass people!"
"Ben Zhenfu knows, you will tell you the whole thing in detail."
