In the early morning of the next day, under the order of Lin Nuo, the two Jinyi Wei Baihu began to gather people, focusing on collecting all kinds of information about the county Cheng Zhang Yan, the chief bookkeeper Li Mo, and the classic history Ye Tong.

Sooner or later, the two sides will tear their faces apart, it just depends on whose means are more ruthless!

On the first day of the new official's official appointment, Lin Nuo was not idle, and in the morning, he asked people to move the population, land, money and grain files of Shanyin County in the past five years and began to look through them carefully.

He also assigned the two eldest brothers Zhao to take the case outside the yamen, and no matter what the situation, they all took it all.

Lin Nuo is not the Virgin, but he still understands the truth of benefiting one party for one term as an official, and since he enjoys the blessings of the county, he should also take on the responsibility of the county governor.

In the afternoon, Zhao Da walked into the yamen with a pile of case files.

"Your Excellency, according to your instructions, we have received nearly 100 cases this morning, of which 19 are criminal cases and the rest are civil disputes. Zhao Da said and handed the top two pieces of paper to Lin Nuo and said: "This one is a murder case, there is a way that human life is a matter of heaven, and adults cannot ignore it." ”

After all, the two brothers Zhao used to be confidants of the county order, and they were very familiar with the affairs of officialdom.

"My lord, the murder case is a big case, and I ask you to ascend to the court as soon as possible and make a judgment as soon as possible. ”

Lin Nuo didn't speak, quietly looking at the situation on the table.

This statement was written by the perpetrator himself, saying that his wife conspired with an adulterer, swept away the family's property, and prepared to flee from Shanyin County.

I couldn't get angry, chased all the way, and finally stopped the two in the southern suburbs of the city, and then a dispute broke out, and I slashed the two with a kitchen knife!

Seeing the content in the form, Lin Nuo's brain made up a lot of content, according to the routine of the bloody TV series in later generations, in general, in this case, the real culprit is not the person who wrote the story, but it is likely to be someone else.

At this moment, Detective Lin's interest suddenly came, "Where is the criminal now?"

"My lord, the prisoner has been escorted over, and Zhao Er has already taken someone to investigate the scene!"

Lin Nuo nodded with satisfaction, the two brothers are indeed extremely easy to use, and many of the details of handling cases are indeed much more proficient than themselves.

"Then for the time being, the criminal will be taken into custody first, and after Zhao Er comes back from the investigation of the scene, he will be promoted to the court to ask about the case!"

Two hours later, Zhao Er rushed over, didn't even drink a sip of water, and began to report the details of the survey.

"My lord, this case basically doesn't need to be tried!"

"Oh, are you so sure?"

Zhao Er smiled, took out the case file of the scene investigation and said: "Judging from the scene I investigated, the homicide case is located in the suburbs, and the two deceased were killed by kitchen knives on their necks many times. ”

"According to the investigation by his subordinates, although the murder occurred in the suburbs, there was a village not far from there, and more than 10 people in the village witnessed the murderer's murder. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Er took out a bloodstained kitchen knife that had long been blunt, "This is the murder weapon, that person is a prisoner, he is really ruthless, the knife is blunt, the neck of the deceased is almost completely cut off, only some flesh skin is left, so that the head does not fall off!"

"My lord, killing people in public, the nature of this case is very bad, the family of the deceased and many people have come to the county office, and please raise the court to judge the case as soon as possible!"

Lin Nuo looked at the blunt knife and sighed in his heart, how much did the murderer hate the dead so much that he would cut the knife down?

"Take someone to the court!"

is different from what I thought before, this kind of case of murder on the street and many witnesses is basically an iron case, and the trial is very simple.

After a burst of mighty sounds, the prisoner Li Mu was taken to the lobby.

Before Lin Nuo could speak, Li Mu directly admitted his murder crime, so direct that he instantly had no intention of solving the case.

Next, Zhao Er presented physical evidence such as the murder weapon, and the witnesses who witnessed the killing process were also brought to the court for questioning.

The trial process was very simple, almost a formality, and there were no twists and turns.

Until the final verdict was finally made, Lin Nuo was a little difficult.

Because the people who were watching the trial suddenly knelt down one by one to intercede for the prisoner, asking for forgiveness for his crimes.

Even Zhao Da whispered at this time: "My lord, this Li Mu did kill someone, but according to the confessions of the witnesses just now, it was the adulterer ** who did it first, and he killed an adulterer, what is the crime?"

"My lord, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, if a wife or concubine commits adultery with another person and is caught in bed, the murderer shall be punished as not guilty. The adulterer's ** not only committed adultery, but also took away the husband's money and eloped, and he was about to be soaked in the pig cage, but now he is killed, isn't he deserved?"

Lin Nuo shook his head, "You don't understand, there are clear provisions in the laws of the Ming Dynasty that only by catching an adulterer in bed can you kill someone, but this Li Mu can catch an adulterer in bed?"

"My lord, look at the people below who are pleading for Li Mu, the public opinion is difficult to disobey, at this time, why are you still picking out words, why don't you follow the public opinion and directly sentence Li Mu not guilty, such a verdict, your lordship, your prestige in Shanyin County can be raised in an instant! The best of both worlds, why not?"

Lin Nuo still shook his head, at this moment, what he thought of was the Peng Yu case in the future, because helping others and helping the elderly was judged by the court to be at fault, and he needed to lose money.

It is precisely because of this judgment that the moral level of the entire later generations of China has been regressed by 50 years, and it has also made the porcelain industry rise, and people are no longer proud of helping others, and they have begun to become selfish and self-interested.

And the case that Lin Nuo is facing now belongs to this nature.

How to balance the relationship between morality and law is not too easy to control!

He is a first-class jinshi who is a serious child, and the cases he has tried will definitely be used as a basis and model by many officials, if he can not judge Li Mu not guilty according to the law of "catching adulterers in bed", and killing adulterers in the future can be exempted from this right, it will be abused!

Imagine that if you kill someone in the future, you only need to kill your wife and concubine again, and declare that the two of them have committed adultery, and you can be exonerated from the crime, which is simply a great blessing for murderers!

In Lin Nuo's heart, he was very sympathetic to Li Mu, the other party's wife not only gave him a green hat, but also teamed up with the adulterer to take away the family property, and I am afraid that I can't bear it if it is anyone!

He also wanted to acquit Li Mu, but he didn't want this immunity to be misused in the future, and finally after weighing it twice, he made a sentence of ten years in prison.

Li Mu has no objection to this verdict, but the onlookers are a little dissatisfied, thinking that the pair of adulterers deserve to die, but Li Mu has to take ten years for this, and the sentence is a little too ruthless.

After the verdict was made, his subordinates sorted out the case files and reported them to the Criminal Department, Lin Nuo did not continue to stay, but returned to the backyard with some unhappiness.

It's always better to be an official!

"Lin Nuo, you are not merciless in killing officials, but you are very cautious about the people under your rule, sometimes, I really don't know what you are thinking in your heart!"

In the courtyard, Xiu'er had already learned the result of Lin Nuo's trial, and kept looking him up and down with some curiosity.

"Isn't it strange?" Lin Nuo smiled, looking up at the blue sky and white sun, his eyes were a little deep, "Because I ...... now It's the parents!"
