Concubine

Chapter 102 Finding a Scapegoat

Long Zixu's murder of his wife proved to be a wrong case. The truth of the matter had been revealed. Yang Qiuchi was very satisfied, rewarded Hou Xiaoqi and others, told them to go back to rest, and then returned to the county yamen with Song Zhixian and Jin Shiye.

Song Zhixian didn't say a word along the way, and didn't go to sign the mortgage room. He took Yang Qiuchi and Master Jin directly back to the inner office.After the guests and hosts were seated, Song Zhixian still didn't say a word, staring blankly at the ground, looking lost.

Master Jin thought to himself, if Yang Qiuchi could discover this wrong case, there should be a way. I am afraid that this matter will ultimately have to be resolved by Yang Qiuchi.Coughing lightly, he bowed his hands to Yang Qiuchi: "I just said something wrong, please forgive me brother Yang."

Yang Qiuchi returned a salute and said a few words of politeness.

Master Jin said: "I don't know how Yang Qiuchi knew this was a wrong case?"

Yang Qiuchi had thought about answering this question a long time ago: "Master Jin once said that my supervisor is also responsible for checking whether the prisoners in the cell have missed crimes or new crimes. So they asked him what had happened, and felt that the matter was a bit strange, so they wrote a letter to Master Ma Duma, asking him to help find out Wang's whereabouts when he had time. Unexpectedly, they did find out. This Jin Yiwei It's really amazing."

In fact, there was nothing about Madu here at all, Yang Qiuchi just used him as a shield in order to conceal his identity as the special envoy of Jinyiwei Commander.

The relationship between Yang Qiuchi and Ma Du, of course Master Jin and Song County Magistrate knew very well, this Ma Du has now been promoted to Deputy Qianhu of Yingtian Mansion's Jinyiwei Qianhu Office, and is the fifth grade. Isn't it easy to find someone.

Master Jin smiled and asked, "Brother Yang, what do you think we should do with this matter?"

Yang Qiuchi didn't know how officials in the Ming Dynasty would be held accountable for handling wrong cases, but he has heard a lot about it in society now. Judges are not really independent. There is a responsibility, no one is responsible, and the unlucky ones who are stabbed by the media and known all over the country will have a few scapegoats with no background who will come out and be taken advantage of.And most of the wrong cases will not be pursued in any practical sense.As for what will happen to the Ming Dynasty, he doesn't know.However, what he cares about now is who the corpse is, whether it was murdered, and who murdered it.

Now that Mr. Jin asked about it, Yang Qiuchi recalled how modern society handles wrong cases, and said, "Since this case is a wrong case, we must immediately release Long Zixu and do a good job of compensation for the aftermath..."

"Compensation for the aftermath?" Master Jin didn't understand what the word meant.In ancient China, the king and the government only enjoyed power but did not bear legal responsibility. If a wrongly judged case is just released, the prisoner still has to say that he is Lord Qingtian and kowtow to thank him. This statement must be compensated.

Yang Qiuchi also discovered this problem, and explained: "Long Zixu was imprisoned by mistake for half a year, and he always has resentment. If he talks nonsense..."

"That's right, that's right! Brother Yang is right, I want to give him some money to stop his mouth." Master Jin nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, Song Zhixian let out a long sigh: "Hey~! Shut up, shut up his mouth, how can shut up, shut up the mouth of the upper class?"

Master Jin sighed: "Yes, this case has been approved by the Ningguo Mansion and has been reported. So many people know about it, how can we block it?" After thinking about it, he asked Yang Qiuchi: "Brother Yang, what do you think? Is there any possibility that Mo Douqiao and Wang deliberately found a bone to frame Long Zixu, so as to get rid of Long Zixu, so as to make the two of them live in love?"

Yang Qiuchi had thought of this a long time ago, and shook his head: "Impossible, because this bone died at least two years ago, and the two of them eloped only a year ago. It is impossible for them to kill one Or get a dead body to bury, and they run away after a year. They should have done so at least two years ago if they want to be framed, and if they want to be framed, they don't have to elope. The time is right It doesn't make sense."

Master Jin nodded: "Brother Yang's analysis is very reasonable. But I'm afraid the only way now is to report to the superiors, saying that Mo Douqiao deliberately framed Long Zixu for killing his wife with bones, which led to a wrong case. .”

Yang Qiuchi was stunned. Mr. Jin's move was too cruel. He made a wrong judgment, but shifted the responsibility to Mo Douqiao, saying that he deliberately framed him. In this way, the government has no responsibility. Ningguo Mansion is easy to talk about.However, Mo Douqiao and Mrs. Wang are not dumb and fools. Once they are sentenced to death for rebellion and have to report for approval, then Song Zhixian will not be allowed to do so.Maybe, instead, he will be accused of trespassing.

From Mr. Jin's words just now, we can know that what Song Zhixian and Mr. Jin are most concerned about is not who the corpse is and how to solve the case, but their future.If Master Jin's trick works, then Mo Douqiao will be in trouble.False accusation and sit back, I'm afraid the death penalty is inevitable.Of course, I can't watch them frame others like this, but it's not good to directly refute this approach, it's better to think of other ways to replace it.

After thinking for a while, Yang Qiuchi said to Song Zhixian: "Uncle, don't worry too much. My nephew thinks that if the bone case can be solved in time before the higher-ups punish it, and make up for it, maybe the problem won't be too big?"

County Magistrate Song sighed again: "Just now Master Jin's suggestion is not bad, but it's too risky. In case of investigation, I'm afraid I can't hide it. It's still wise, my nephew is right. If so, then the bone case It can be solved in time, and my nephew helped me solve it some time ago. The two cases that were solved can make up for my mistakes. At least this black hat can be kept. In this way, everything depends on my nephew. I can't get over it, but it's all up to you to get through this difficult time!" After speaking, the circles of his eyes turned red.

Yang Qiuchi smiled wryly in his heart, I'm not a god, how can I guarantee that the ticket will be solved, I don't dare to issue military orders like some local police in modern society, saying that "homicide cases must be solved", solving a case is not like eating, opening your mouth Just pour it in your mouth.A [-]% detection rate, only ghosts would believe it, it's hype at first glance.

Now in the bone case, who is the bone, male or female, age, cause of death, suicide or homicide, where the killing was done, what was the murder weapon, was the vegetable field the first scene, etc. If you figure it out, how dare you say you can detect it?If you have such a god, you can travel directly to the sky and become a god.

However, since magistrate Song trusted him so much, he still had to be worthy of this trust.Yang Qiuchi comforted: "Uncle, don't worry, my nephew will definitely try my best to solve this bone case as soon as possible."

Song Zhixian stood up and saluted: "Thank you, nephew!" Yang Qiuchi hurriedly returned the salute.

After Song Zhixian sat down, he asked: "How to detect it? Xian, has your nephew got an idea?"

Yang Qiuchi said: "First release Long Zixu, investigate him for enemies, and see if there are any clues to criminals. Then open the coffin for an autopsy to find out the identity of this bone, and then start an investigation accordingly to find clues .”

Song Zhixian looked at Master Jin, and both of them nodded.County Magistrate Song said: "Alright, go to the cell first, release Long, Long Zixu, and then open the coffin for an autopsy. Mr. Jin, you are in charge. You are responsible for drafting the documents, and report it quickly. This, the reason for this wrong case—Mr. Jin, Do we have a better way?"

Master Jin thought for a while, looked at Yang Qiuchi, and said to Song Zhixian in a low voice: "If it's not possible, I will write that the old disobedient made the inspection false, and insisted that the white bone is the wife of Long Zixu, and I will name him Intentionally committing a crime. What does Dong Weng think?"

Yang Qiuchi was shocked, this Master Jin was too cruel, looking for scapegoats everywhere, but Mo Douqiao could not be framed, so he framed himself as a master, this is not acceptable, although he is not an apprentice now, but he can't just watch them Bully the old disobedient.

Song Zhixian took a sneak peek at Yang Qiuchi, and before Yang Qiuchi could speak, Song Zhixian had already seen Yang Qiuchi's thoughts, and waved his hand: "No way!... Let's go, let's wait a while for the submission of documents. I think, after thinking about it, let's go and release him first."

Only then did Yang Qiuchi heave a sigh of relief.He secretly made up his mind not to let them do such nonsense no matter what.

At this moment, silver bell-like laughter came from two girls outside the living room.One voice was obviously Song Yun'er, but the other voice was unknown.Yang Qiuchi looked up and saw Song Yun'er ran into the living room holding hands with a girl slightly older than her, talking and laughing.

"Brother~! You're here! Great, we went looking for you just now, but we couldn't find you, so you hid here." Song Yuner smiled and pulled the girl, "Brother, let me introduce you, this one , is my cousin, named Song Qing, I told you last time, brother, please take a look, isn't my cousin beautiful? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Yang Qiuchi looked at the girl carefully. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a graceful figure, already showing the charm of a young woman. She was wearing an emerald green dress, with big eyes, a round white and tender face, and a shallow little girl. Dimples, neat small teeth, sweet smile, she is indeed a beautiful girl.

Song Qing generously wished Yang Qiuchi a blessing: "My little sister has met brother Qiuchi." Yang Qiuchi hurriedly returned the salute, which made Song Qing giggle coquettishly: "Brother Qiuchi, I just arrived in Guangde yesterday afternoon, and I just arrived in Guangde last night. I heard Yunmei talking about you all night, and I could hear it...hehe, I saw it today, Brother Qiuchi is really a good-looking talent, no wonder Yunmei keeps praising you, hehe..."

"Well, you clay doll, if you dare to tease me, let's see how I deal with you!" Song Yun'er stretched out her hand to snort Song Qing.It turned out that Song Qing's nickname was "clay doll", and she really looked like it.

"Help~!" Song Qing couldn't breathe from laughing, and ran around Song Zhixian and others.

The magistrate of Song was having a headache, and their troubles got worse, Wen said: "Okay! Stop the trouble!"

Song Yuner stopped in her tracks, looked at Song Qing, and giggled.

These two are really a pair of treasures. It seems that Song Qing and Song Yun'er have similar personalities, but I don't know if they are generally unreasonable.

Song Zhixian said to Yang Qiuchi: "Nephew, this, this is your uncle - that is, I, my brother's daughter, your uncle died early, keep, leave this only seedling, so she, her mother loves her very much." She spoils her and, like, like Yun'er, she knows how to make trouble all day long."

Song Qing and Song Yun'er looked at each other and smiled again, sticking out their tongues.

"Let's go now." Song Zhixian stood up and said.

"Where are you going?" Song Yuner and Song Qing asked almost at the same time, "I want to go too!"

Song Zhixian frowned, there was nothing he could do with these two crazy girls.With a snort, he stepped out the door.Song Yuner and Song Qing followed Yang Qiuchi, asking this and that.While joking, the little dimple appeared and disappeared from time to time, which was really cute.

When he came to the prison cell and sat down in the classroom, Yang Qiuchi ordered Da Banya and others to quickly escort Long Zixu out.

After a while, Long Zixu was brought to the classroom with handcuffs and shackles and a wooden shackle around his neck.Yang Qiuchi ordered to remove all the instruments of torture of Long Zixu, and then said: "Long Zixu, our county magistrate has already found out that your case is a wrong one. Now you will be acquitted."

ah?Long Zixu was both surprised and happy. He called Master Qingtian, knelt and climbed a few steps, and kowtowed to Song Zhixian all the time. Surprised and surprised, he cried until tears and nose flowed together.

Song Zhixian sighed, and said: "Long Zixu, get up, you, you are a famous scholar, since this case has nothing to do with you, I, I will report to Xuezheng to restore your merit and fame. , you don’t need to kneel down.”

Long Zixu called out to Lord Qingtian again and again, kowtowed and kowtowed to thank him.

"Long Zixu, you, the reason why your case was settled and rehabilitated is all thanks to Yang, Supervisor Yang. You should appreciate him and thank him."

Long Zixu knew in his heart that he was sentenced to death and approved by his superiors, so he was waiting to be beheaded. It was all thanks to Yang Guanjian that he saved his life.Being grateful, he knelt and crawled over to kowtow to Yang Qiuchi again and again.

Yang Qiuchi quickly helped him up.With tears in his eyes, Long Zixu said, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I wasted ten years of hard work, and I almost died of injustice in the end. Thanks to the supervisor for rehabilitating me. You can be said to be my reborn parents, and I am willing to serve you." Lord Guanjian is on the saddle and behind the horse, and serves as a slave to a servant, in order to repay the Lord for saving his life!"

Yang Qiuchi said: "No, no, no, you have read a lot of poetry and books, and you are a famous scholar. How can you be a servant, such an insulting thing. Absolutely not."

Long Zixu blushed and said nothing.

Yang Qiuchi said again: "Let me ask you a question first. Have you had any enemies before? That is to say, is there anyone who might frame you?" Long Zixu thought for a while, then shook his head: "I am a scholar, and my family is poor. Four walls, no disputes with others, who would have enmity with me."

Long Zixu has no enemies, and no one will frame him, which shows that this corpse was mistaken for Long Zixu's wife, which is purely coincidental.This poor scholar is really unlucky.
