Chapter 10: The History of Ye Dian

The team leader crawled and went to the yamen to call people.

After a while, a group of officials walked out briskly around a man dressed in a historian's uniform.

The man didn't look very old, he looked like he was in his thirties, and his white face was not like a martial artist, but more like a gentle literati.

"The official Huai'an County Classics, I don't know how many of them are from the imperial capital?"

Song Xuan turned over and dismounted, looking this person up and down with his eyes, but saw that this person was not in the slightest panic, and even had a bit of a literati style who was neither humble nor arrogant.

Xuan Yiwei's reputation in the officialdom is not good, and the civilian official group hates and fears Xuan Yiwei, and most of them have a respectful and distant attitude.

It can be seen that this Huai'an County Dian Shi was somewhat resistant or even repulsed by the arrival of Song Xuan and other Xuanyi guards.

"Xuanyi Guard Inspection Division, Song Xuan!"

Song Xuan slowly spoke, "I don't know what to call this master of the canon?" ”

"The official's surname is Ye!"

"Ye Dianshi, right?"

Song Xuan said in a deep voice: "You should also know our intentions, there is no need to be polite, let's handle the case first!" ”

Hearing Song Xuan's straightforward words, Ye Dianshi was stunned at first, but his face softened a little, and his voice unconsciously softened a little.

"In this case, a few adults will wait in the yamen for a while, and I will order someone to fetch the file."

Song Xuanzhen led Song Qian and the others into the lobby of the canonical history office, without superfluous nonsense, and took their seats.

Soon a servant brought tea, but Song Xuan just nodded calmly, but he didn't mean to pick up the cup and drink tea.

Safety is the most important thing when going out, and he has never drunk tea from strangers in this strange environment.

Song Xuan and the others didn't drink tea, and Ye Dianshi didn't mean to persuade him, but the old god was sitting in place, looking like a wanderer, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

Without waiting long, several officials walked quickly into the lobby with a dossier in their hands.

"Let's send it to a few adults!" Ye Dianshi opened his mouth and commanded.

After taking the file from the officer's hand, Song Xuan read it directly.

The speed at which he read it was extremely fast, and before Ye Dianshi finished reading a cup of tea, Song Xuan had already finished reading all the files.

The case is not complicated, in simple terms, it is a civil adultery case.

The martial arts style of the Great Zhou Dynasty prevailed, and the folk customs were relatively open, not only men could practice martial arts, but also women, and therefore, the status of women was higher than that of the previous feudal dynasties recognized by Song Xuan.

In the Great Zhou, women can not only practice martial arts and study, but can even participate in the imperial examination or martial arts to enter the officialdom.

However, no matter how open the people and how enlightened the court is, it is only a feudal dynasty with men as the ruling class after all.

In order to maintain the purity of male blood, in the matter of adultery, the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty punished women extremely harshly.

If a man's adultery is found to be true, he shall be given thirty lashes, a fine of fifty taels of silver, and an exile of three thousand li.

If the woman's adultery is true, after being verified by the Criminal Department, she will parade through the streets and be decided!

It's treated differently, but in the imperial feudal society, no one feels anything wrong.

Song Xuan put down the file and looked at Ye Dianshi, "I wonder if Ye Dianshi can carefully describe the case?" ”

Ye Dianshi frowned slightly, "Aren't all the records on the file clear?" ”

Song Xuan looked at him quietly, "The dossier is the dossier, but it is not necessarily the truth, I want to listen to what Ye Dianshi said personally!" ”

Ye Dianshi was silent for a moment, waved his hand to signal the officials on both sides to retreat, and then spoke with some hesitation.

"This case is not complicated, but it involves the struggle of the upper echelons, there are some things I can't say, and even if I do, it may not be true, why don't you go to the prison in person to interrogate the woman who committed the crime?"

Song Xuan was a little unexpected, glanced at this person deeply, and then smiled and said, "In this way, there is Lao Ye Dianshi to take me to the prison cell." ”

......

The prison in Huai'an Prefecture is full of all kinds of death row prisoners, some of whom are criminals who have been sentenced to death by the local government and are waiting for the follow-up review by the Criminal Department.

Some of them have already been reviewed by the Criminal Department, and they are just waiting to be beheaded after the autumn.

In the dim and damp prison, desperate screams and cries could be heard from time to time, and some prisoners kept banging on the cell door and shouting injustice after seeing Song Xuan and others.

But Song Xuan didn't mean to meddle in his affairs at all, and went straight to one of the death row cells under the leadership of Ye Dianshi.

"My lord, this is it!"

In front of the dark and cramped cell, Song Xuan looked in along the gap, a woman who couldn't see the specific face clearly, her clothes were stained with blood lying on the ground, her eyes were dim, and she looked up at the top of the cell with a loveless face.

"Open the prison door!" Song Xuan opened his mouth and ordered.

Ye Dianshi hesitated slightly, but still nodded slightly at the cell head and signaled to open the door.

"Squeak~~"

As the iron door was opened, Song Xuan, Song Qian, and Lu Xiaoliu rushed in, making the already narrow cell even more crowded.

As for the big cow and the monkey, the two of them stood outside the prison door very consciously, blocking the others just right, and even Ye Dianshi, who wanted to follow up, was stopped.

Ye Dianshi's face changed again and again, but in the end he didn't dare to break through.

He really didn't want to see Xuan Yiwei, but he didn't want to offend Xuan Yiwei because of a case.

In the cell, Song Xuan condescendingly looked at the numb woman lying on the ground, and coughed lightly.

But the woman didn't react at all, she didn't care who came to the cell, and kept her eyes on the roof, as if she had given up completely.

Seeing this, Song Qian frowned, stepped forward and pulled her arm up, and pinched her chin to face her head with her.

This strong approach finally made the woman's eyes have a glimmer of light, and the eyes in her pupils focused on Song Qian.

"Looks like he's not dead yet!"

Song Qian pursed her lips and smiled in satisfaction, causing the woman to kneel on the ground, and then smiled at Song Xuan: "Brother, you can start!" ”

Song Xuan snorted, took out the Xuanyi Wei token and shook it in front of the woman.

"Let me introduce myself first, we are Xuanyiwei from the imperial capital, what does Xuanyiwei do, so I don't need to say more, right?"

Hearing the three words of Xuan Yiwei, although the woman had already been desperate and waiting for death, her body still trembled subconsciously.

In the eyes of the common people, Xuanyi Wei is the office opened by Lord Yama in the world, and those Xuanyi Wei Ti are the little ghosts under the command of Lord Yama.

It is said that in the hands of these people, you can't survive or die, and it's a luxury to want to die!

"This official Xuanyi Wei Song Xuan, from today onwards, your case will be taken over by me!"

As he spoke, he slowly crouched down and looked at the woman face to face.

"Sun Liu, the Yamen of Huai'an County sentenced you to adultery, and now this official wants to hear the truth, are you?"
