Chapter 41: Investigation (1)

A few days after Dai Chang became the governor of the capital, he was so worried that he couldn't even eat the fresh fish soup, the specialty dish of Wuzhanglou.

Mrs. Fu Yin persuaded: "You use some porridge, I asked the cook to add some minced vegetable broth, you can taste it, otherwise your body will collapse." What the hell is so troublesome? Is it more complicated than the last Gongcha case? ”

Dai Fuyin took a bite of porridge and said: "Hey, it's not that a few days ago, a student in Jinling Mansion Academy died suddenly, and the murderer has not been investigated in the palace, and the student is a child of the Cheng Zhu family in the imperial history. ”

Mrs. Fu Yin asked, "What case is so complicated?" There are so many people in the government who can't break it? ”

Dai Fuyin didn't want to move after eating two mouthfuls of porridge, and said annoyedly: "It's useless to talk to you, hey." It's really one thing after another, the embankment was repaired just a few days ago, and I just wanted to rest for two days. Lin Shaoyin told me about this in a hurry, obviously the prison is his job, and he really can't do anything. ”

"Lin Shaoyin is not good at prison?" Mrs. Fu Yin brought a cold drink to Dai Fu Yin again, and said, "You should tell me, let me know what is going on, otherwise I will always be worried." ”

A bowl of cold drinks finally eased Dai Fuyin's anxiety, "At the Dragon Boat Festival, a student brought a box of zongzi to the academy to eat, is it normal?" As a result, there was a student Zhu Kexin, you know, the nephew of Cheng Zhu Yu in the imperial history, died not long after eating zongzi. After a check, there were oleanders in the dumplings. ”

"There must be something wrong with the student with the zongzi."

"It's so easy, you can be a governor." Dai Fuyin said angrily: "At that time, the student with zongzi was Zhu Zhuzhi, and he brought zongzi and let it be cooked in the kitchen of the academy and distributed to his classmates. When he picked one up himself, he was begged by Zhu Kexin. In other words, the zongzi that poisoned Zhu Kexin was originally what Zhu Zhuzhi wanted to eat. ”

"Then someone wanted to poison Zhu Zhuzhi, and he was accidentally poisoned by Zhu Kexin. Then find out who wants to poison Zhu Zhuzhi? ”

"Hey, if only it were that simple." Dai Fuyin waved his hand and said: "The zongzi gift box is made by the boss Zongzi in the south of the city, I heard that someone ordered the gift box for the guys in the shop to send it." But during the Dragon Boat Festival, there were too many people who ordered the gift box in Boss Fang's shop, and the guy couldn't remember who ordered the gift box. Dai Fu Yin picked up the cold drink again and said: "Today's cold drink tastes very good, much better than the medicinal smell in the past." ”

Mrs. Fu Yin said with a smile: "My sister sent it in the morning, a new gadget from the newly opened Anjia Tea Shop." ”

That night, Dai Fu Yin had a fever, and Mrs. Fu Yin invited Dr. Hu to come and see, saying that it was the imbalance of yin and yang caused by eating and drinking, resulting in internal injuries and fever, and qi and blood deficiency. Dai Fuyin struggled to get to the mansion, but he didn't take a few steps before he fell to the ground again. It was really impossible, Dai Fuyin had to hand over official business to Lin Shaoyin to deal with, and then went to the court, but he was too sick to do so.

Dai Fuyin, who was lingering on the sickbed, did not wait for the appointment document issued by the imperial court, but waited for the saint to write a reprimand. Dai Fu Yin, who was helped out to receive the order, listened to the angel reading, "Arbitrarily adjudicating the case, disregarding the lives of the people...", and didn't understand what was going on, and his body was so weak that he trembled under the big sun. It was easy to send the angel away, Dai Fu Yin picked up the document and read it, at this time Lin Shaoyin and Wang Zhushu came in cautiously, Dai Fu Yin was angry when he saw them, and scolded: "You have done a good job!" ”

Lin Shaoyin said with a white face: "This, this, I didn't expect it either." ”

Master Wang said: "Otherwise, we will let the people of the Fang family go first?" ”

"Don't move anything, it's too late to do anything." Dai Fuyin sighed and said, "Let's do it first, but I don't want to die in prison." Wait for the people from the criminal department to come, and then listen to the decision. ”

Lin Shaoyin said again: "I don't know who the Criminal Department will send?" I heard that Master Dai has a very good relationship with Lord Su, the waiter of the Criminal Department....."

Dai Fu Yin said angrily: "If Master Su comes, you can burn high incense." ”

In the evening, Mrs. Fu Yin waited and drank the decoction, and asked, "Why does this case still alarm the saint?" The Zhu family is inevitably too big. ”

Dai Fuyin sighed: "It's not from the Zhu family. ”

Mrs. Fu Yin said strangely: "Then who else will make trouble in the Criminal Department?" ”

Lin Shaoyin and Master Wang sentenced the case. They found out that there were a few oleanders in the back kitchen of the Fang family, probably accidentally falling into them when making zongzi. In the end, it was decided that the zongzi were poisoned by the Fang family by mistake. Dai Fuyin said: "The boss of the Fang family was sentenced to exile, and the family property was confiscated to compensate the Zhu family. Boss Fang's daughter-in-law slammed her head into the door of the Criminal Department, which alarmed the Heavenly Court. ”

Mrs. Fu Yin was silent for a while before she said, "Isn't this a matter of careless human life." If the case is cleared up and the Fang family is wronged, then what should you do? ”

Dai Fuyin said: "Lin Shaoyin and Wang Zhushu are inescapable of interconnection, and the judgment and issuance are both his names. I'm glad to have gone to the fold early, but I also have to eat and hang. Let's wait for the people from the Criminal Department to come, this matter is fortunately in the hands of Master Su, and I will ask him to spin it at that time. ”

Within a few days, the people from the Criminal Department arrived, and Dai Mansion Yin Qiang stood outside the yamen to greet him. The person who came was Langzhong Guo Xi from the Criminal Department.

Dai Fuyin welcomed people into the house and sat down, and said again and again: "On such a hot day, it is Dai's sin to let Lord Guo come from the east of the city." ”

Guo Xi hurriedly replied: "Where, Dai Fuyin's body is better." ”

Dai Fuyin: "Hey, it's already good. It's not that I'm tired of organizing the construction of the embankment in the north of the city a few days ago, after all, it's not the time to be in my twenties. ”

Guo Xi: "I came to investigate the case this time, and I have to take care of it more than Yin Fuyin to give it some convenience." This is our letter from Su Shilang to you, you can take a look at it first. ”

Dai Fuyin read the letter at a glance, took a long breath, and said, "I understand what Master Su meant. If you need anything, just tell us. Don't worry, I'll make proper arrangements for everything else. ”

Master Guo first took people to inspect the kitchen of the Fang family's zongzi shop, walked around, and said: "The cook of the Fang family said that the oleander is separated from the kitchen by an alley, and they put the soaked glutinous rice and other things on the long table against the wall opposite the window, waiting for the idle wind to blow not so far. If you really let the wind blow in, such conspicuous petals can be seen by everyone. ”

The king on the side was sweating, but he just responded again and again. After returning to the mansion, Lord Guo asked him to come and talk back. He was an old man in the government, and he was not very satisfied with Lin Shaoyin's sloppy verdict, and at this time, the official of the Criminal Department came to ask, cheered up and replied: "Back to Lord Guo, the deceased had abdominal pain and vomiting before he finished eating the zongzi, and the doctor in the college saw at a glance that it was oleander poisoning, and quickly asked the students to go to the pharmacy to grab the antidote, but unfortunately it was too late." The Zhu family did not allow an autopsy, but in my experience, it is unlikely that he ate oleander petals. ”

Lin Shaoyin was drenched in sweat for a long time, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be irritable, and drank: "Didn't the doctor of the academy find out that he was poisoned by oleander at that time?" How there is nothing to do with oleander petals. ”

Master Guo nodded and said: "Generally speaking, the petals of oleander are not so toxic, usually there are a little petals sandwiched in the zongzi, and it is still too late to save it if you eat it." Listening to you say this, but in the time of half a pillar of incense, Zhu Kexin died, but there was a problem. ”

He replied: "I wrote in the autopsy form, I checked the rest of the zongzi, because this is lard rose bean paste filling, it is not easy to distinguish, but I also separated some white liquid in it, which should be the juice extracted from the root of oleander, this toxin is much more toxic than ordinary petals." ”

Guo Dadao: "That's true, there are records in the prison case book written by Yuzigong, a master of criminal prisons in the early years. At the same time, he asked: "Why was there no post-mortem report attached to the file in the first place?" ”

Lin Shaoyin wiped his sweat and returned: "There was no autopsy at the beginning, but after the zongzi was examined, it was not attached." ”

Master Guo sneered: "If it is attached, the crime of this Fang family is not legal." ”

Dai Fuyin, who was on the side, answered: "Blame me for being so sick at the beginning, Lin Shaoyin has only been in office for less than a year, and he has not been in contact with the affairs of prison, so he is indeed negligent." ”

Master Guo put down the file and said: "The daughter-in-law of the Fang family is fortunately not dead, at that time, Su Shilang immediately saved the person, otherwise it would be difficult for you to protect a few black yarn hats." The top priority is to figure out the case, the Fang family should pay for it, and there is still room for maneuver, after all, everyone is fine. The confiscated property of the Fang family is remembered to be returned. ”

Lin Shaoyin wiped his sweat and said, "That's, that's." ”

Dai Fuyin asked again: "What clues does Lord Guo have?" There are no special clues in this case, and I have read the file several times, but I really don't have a clue. ”

Guo Xi said: "I looked at the account books of the Fang family, his zongzi sold very well, and people from the surrounding prefectures and counties came to visit, if a competitor maliciously poisoned it, it would not be a problem with a zongzi." I feel that the poisoning has nothing to do with the Fang family's zongzi shop, it should have been poisoned after it was given to this student of Zhu Zhuzhi. So the key to the case is still in the Jinling Mansion Academy. ”

Dai Fuyin exclaimed: "Listening to Lord Guo's words really sobered me up. Fang's zongzi is indeed a famous brand in the east of our city, and people from Runzhou and Chuzhou next to it come to buy it, especially during the Dragon Boat Festival, selling hundreds of zongzi a day. ”

Guo Xi said again: "I will go to Jinling Mansion Academy tomorrow, after all, there are some students who are famous, and it is not very appropriate to bring them to the government for questioning." Please arrange it for Dai Fuyin here, and I will arrange for the cloud review of the Criminal Department to continue the investigation. ”

Dai Fuyin hurriedly responded and ordered someone to arrange it.
