Chapter 67: Murder in the City

Da Kui smiled: "If it is really Zeng Xihuai who violated the law, then he should be beheaded."

He Chongzhi lowered his head and groaned for a moment before saying: "Since ancient times, murderers have died.

Da Kui laughed and said, "This official is saying, if Zeng Xihuai is indeed guilty of a mortal crime, Lord He can behead him, and if there is another hidden situation, your lord can handle this case at his discretion."

"What is the scale?" He Chongzhi asked tentatively.

Da Kui smiled: "It should be based on life-saving."

He Chongzhi nodded when he heard this: "Lord Zhang's meaning, the lower officials understand, and it is also the duty of the lower officials to handle cases according to the law and not wronged the people." Da Kui and He Chongzhi looked at each other and smiled.

After that, all the words were wind 'flowers' Xueyue people are sophisticated, Da Kui and He Chongzhi had a very happy conversation, perhaps because they drank wine, He Chongzhi's conversation box was opened, but it was quite insightful.

When everyone was full of wine and food, and when the shopkeeper served tea, He Chongzhi smiled and called the shopkeeper to settle the bill.

"How much money is there?" He Chongzhi asked drunken and hazy.

The shopkeeper bowed and replied, "A total of thirteen taels and seven pieces of silver."

The shopkeeper's words almost made He Chongzhi get under the table again.

Before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, due to the unclear governance of the officials, there was some 'chaos' and 'chaos', but since Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, the previous official positions have been unified and restructured.

He Chongzhi is afraid of guilt (afraid of his wife) This is what Da Kui originally discovered, and it is somewhat similar to Da Kui.

He Chongzhi trembled and 'touched' the money bag from his arms. It looked like the money bag was bulging, and it seemed that there were a lot of silver coins. He Chongzhi smiled at the shopkeeper: "Your shopkeeper is here.

Da Kui couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard this.I think that Da Kui also said this sentence at the beginning.It's nothing more than a statement of credit.Look at the money bag in He Chongzhi's hand.Although it is bulging, it must be a copper coin.Presumably there should be two strings of money.

Da Kui smiled and turned his head to the plate and said, "Checkout." Hearing this, Pan Bu immediately took out the money bag from his arms.

When He Chongzhi saw it, he hurriedly waved his hand to Da Kui and said, "Lord Zhang, why is this?

Da Kui said with a smile: "As long as Lord He does not follow the clichés in handling the case, this official should naturally set up a banquet to thank him. Lord He does not have to be polite.

Panbu paid for the meal, Da Kui and He Chongzhi said goodbye, the two went to the guest room, leaving He Chongzhi and Zhong Zhu to stare at the front hall with big eyes.

One question, the upper room is fifty Wen, the ordinary room is twenty Wen, and the Chase shop is being renovated and is temporarily not hospitalized.

He Chongzhi's money is just a little more.Today, a total of ten subordinates are coming together.Even sleeping in an ordinary guest room is not enough.These fast traps are bitter haha.Where is the money to live in a hotel.He Chongzhi can't leave his subordinates here to rest by himself.There is no way.It's just a candle and a night talk.

Since Emperor Taizu purged the rule of officials, no matter how big or small, officials have been walking on thin ice, cautious and cautious. He Chongzhi, as a dignified four-grade magistrate, has been reduced to the point that he doesn't even have the money to live in the hotel.

Regardless of the lion-like wife in his family, even if there is no home control, what can He Chongzhi do.

'Prefect' is the governor of a prefecture.Also known as "Fu Yin".Driving five horses.Zheng Sipin.Conferring 'Zhongxian Doctor' is commonly known as 'Five Horse Princes' by the people.It is a member of the imperial court.It is natural to pay attention to the prestige.Riding a horse.Raising a sedan chair at home.Raising a sedan chair at home.Raising a sedan chair at home.

Laundry, cooking, chopping wood, and carrying water must always have someone to do, so there must be a maid and a servant at home.

Fortunately, He Chongzhi was talkative, and he sat in the front hall and chatted with the crowd, which also attracted everyone to listen carefully. In the middle of the night, everyone was a little sleepy.

When he was at a loss, he walked upstairs again, and arched his hand to He Chongzhi and said: "Lord Zhang has opened the upper room, and the rest have guest rooms.

Panbu's words were tantamount to a panacea; The people who were already in a state of distress stood up when they heard this. He Chongzhi even hugged his fists and thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Zhang, for your kindness."

Panbu smiled and said, "No need to be polite. He Chongzhi was no longer polite, and went downstairs with the crowd.

In the early morning of the second day, the county government of Qingpu County opened a court to hear the case.

Since the year before last, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Xu Da and Chang Yu 'Chun' to lead troops to exterminate Zhang Shicheng's troops entrenched in the Pingjiang area of Suzhou.

As a common people, they naturally hope to live and work in peace and contentment, and a murder suddenly occurred in the peaceful Qingpu County, which naturally attracted the people to come and watch.

Da Kui sat on a tea stall not far from the Ya 'Gate' and drank tea.

He Chongzhi was really very neat in handling affairs, and he arranged for the arrest of all the people involved in the case early in the morning.

After a brief questioning, the matter finally came to light.

The deceased, Wu Jiyuan, as a tax collector of the government, abused his power to 'privately' levy site taxes to make profits.

During the scuffle, Zeng Xi got up angrily, picked up stones from the ground, threw them indiscriminately, and protected himself.

When everything is clear, He Chongzhi decided the case on the spot: "Songjiang Mansion and the prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction have been 'chaotic' due to years of war, and the people's livelihood has withered and is in ruins. In the past, Taizu issued an edict, but all prefectures and counties with a population of less than 3,000 households will be exempted from all taxes for three years.

Although Wu Jiheng, the commander of Qingpu County, has made a thin political achievement, he cannot escape the blame for what his younger brother has done, and it is difficult for him to escape the blame as an elder brother. As soon as the voice fell, someone had already rushed to the court to tie up Wu Jiheng's five 'flowers' in Qingpu County and take them down to the court.

He Chongzhi also said: "Zeng Xihuai refused to accept the control of the government, and the brawl accidentally injured people's lives. Although the circumstances are extenuating, the national law is intolerable. Saying that, He Chongzhi slapped the shocked wood and shouted: "Retreat."

"Mighty." On both sides of the hall, the yacha sang Tang Wei, and saw two arresters quickly walk up to the hall and put Zeng Xi in shackles and escort them down the hall.

"Father-in-law, it's not good, Lord He sentenced Zeng Xihuai to behead." Before he could run in front of Da Kui, he was already shouting.

Da Kui was not alarmed, but he was still drinking tea slowly.

"Father, you should think of a way." Panbu couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart.

Da Kui put down the tea bowl and then said, "I'm here to investigate corrupt officials, not to rescue death row prisoners."

Panbu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked: "That tax collector Wu Jiyuan is so hateful, he is killed, why do you have to take another innocent 'life'."

Da Kui looked at the coiled steps for a long time, and then said: "Although Wu Jiyuan has the crime of a hundred deaths without atonement, he has his own national law to deal with it.

Da Kui then stretched out his hand to stop Panbu and said: "If Zeng Xihuai allowed Wu Jiyuan to rob the livestock, he then filed a complaint against the county government.

Pan Bu said angrily: "At that time, it was just a mistake.

"Panbu, you've been talking for your father for a long time, and you're still so stubborn. Da Kui stretched out his hand and pointed to the bench beside him.

Da Kui then said: "The tax collector Wu Jiyuan 'privately' levied land taxes to make profits. This is Wu Jiyuan's fault. Although his brother Qingpu County ordered Wu Jiheng not to participate in his brother's business, it was Wu Jiheng's fault to turn a blind eye.

Da Kui looked at the huffing pan and then said, "If it were for my father, I would also judge the case like this."

He stood up sharply and said, "I understand what my father-in-law meant, next time someone puts a knife on my neck, I won't resist, I will take the knife around my neck and report it to the official."

Hearing this, Da Kui said angrily: "How can self-preservation be compared with knowing the law and breaking the law."

Panbu only has his back on his back, although he no longer speaks, but Da Kui can see that he is very angry. Panbu's 'sex' is upright. Da Kui is well aware, but Geng is straightforward and reckless and ignorant to distinguish between one 'yin' and one yang is the Tao. Everything has both positive and negative sides.

Before Da Kui could talk about the stakes in detail, he saw two carriages in the distance on the long street, and there were two cages on the carriages, presumably to escort Zeng Xihuai and Wu Jiheng.

Sure enough, the two carriages stopped in front of the 'gate' of the county office, and after a short time, several arresters came out of the county government to disperse the people.

When He Chongzhi, the prefect of Songjiang, took the rest of the arresters out of the 'gate' of the Qingpu County Ya, and the procession of chariots and horses was mighty and 'dang' and went out of the county seat.

Da Kui stood up and said with a smile: "Lord He has no 'selfishness' in the iron face, Zhang is very impressed.......

At this moment, Wu Jiheng, who was in the prisoner's car not far away, let out a miserable scream, but was 'shot' by a cold arrow from somewhere, and was 'shot' to death in the chest. Da Kui was shocked, and he flashed out of the teahouse and ran into the street.

Da Kui didn't stay any longer.Hair foot rushed towards the alley where the killer disappeared..
