Great Lawyer

Chapter 374 Two more
"Have you gained something so soon?" Wu Wenjun said: "It seems that you really have some skills."

Qi Daiqing should be.

"This officer has been investigating corruption cases for the past two days, and there are not enough manpower. You can ask Shan Dequan to come to Dali Temple to help tomorrow." Wu Wenjun said, "Right now, corruption cases are the most important thing, and His Majesty is also paying attention to this matter."

"Yes, I will tell him when I get back." Qi Daiqing replied.

"Is there any progress on Shen Daoru's side?" Wu Wenjun asked.

Qi Daiqing replied: "I brought someone to the Yamen in the morning, and the subordinate officials gave him all the clues. With Mr. Shen's ability, there should be results."

Wu Wenjun nodded slightly, "Go and do your work. Don't come to me if you have nothing to do these two days. I will pay attention to the progress of the competition."

"The lower official has resigned." Qi Daiqing saluted and withdrew. At the door, he met a few people passing him in a hurry, with hurried steps and dignified expressions.

He knew that these people were officials investigating corruption cases.

"This 40 taels is already halfway through." Qi Daiqing muttered, "How dare a small official from the Ministry of Industry have such guts, the court may be in a bloodbath again."

"My lord," Qi Daiqing's servant said in a low voice, "up to now, there has been no movement from Mr. Luge's side, and no one objected even when the admiral sent the case to Wu Wenjun."

Qi Daiqing waved his hand and said: "The case is of great importance, and it is impossible for Lu Zhangzhi not to pay attention to it. It's just that the Holy One wants to make up for Elder Ren Ge, so he handed over this case to Wu Wenjun, and it is impossible for Lu Zhangzhi to intervene halfway."

"What does your lord mean, Mr. Luge is waiting for the right time?"

Waiting for Wu Wenjun to make a mistake, they justified it.

"Well, don't interact with others too much recently, so as not to get into trouble." Qi Daiqing confessed: "The corruption case has nothing to do with us. We just need to concentrate on the competition between the two major litigation firms."

The doorman should be.

When the two walked to Qipan Street, they ran into Qiu Zhang who was in a hurry and was about to get into the sedan chair with someone on business. Qi Daiqing smiled and said, "Lord Qiu, what a coincidence."

"Lord Qi, please disrespect and disrespect." Qiu Zhang retracted his foot into the sedan chair, greeted him respectfully, and said with a smile, "My lord is busy with government affairs, where did you come from?"

"After coming out of Dali Temple, the two major lawsuits competed, and the cases all came from me. I am reporting to Mr. Wu." Qi Daiqing said.

Qiu Zhang showed the original expression, "Your Excellency has worked hard, and I will be free for Qiu to be a guest some other day. Please have dinner with my lord."

"Master Qiu treats guests, but Qi doesn't dare to go. Let Qi be the host." Qi Daiqing laughed.

Qi Daiqing heard that Qiu Zhang's family was very poor. The first two times he invited people home for dinner, one fish, one plate of pickled vegetables, and one plate of fried vegetables.

The bowls for drinking tea at home are all thick bowls, and the bedding has been mended a few patches.

Some people suspected that Qiu Zhang was pretending. After all, he was a county magistrate who had been released all his life. No one believed that he would be so poor.

Qiu Zhang said: "I used to have a little money, but I was greedy for sex two years ago, and raised a concubine, and the concubine secretly communicated with my cousin, and ran away with his money."

Everyone laughed, laughing that Qiu Zhang is old but will strengthen the future of the sword.

So far, Qiu Zhang has gained a laughing name among the officials. Everyone knows that this old man raised a concubine and was cuckolded.

But also because of this innocuous matter, he had a good impression of Qiu Zhang, and his attitude towards him was inexplicably good. As long as it was about eating, he couldn't bear to let Qiu Zhang treat him.

Qiu Zhang didn't seem to know what Qi Daiqing meant, so he also laughed heartlessly, as if he had lived half his life in vain.

"What are you doing?" Qi Daiqing asked.

"No, the task handed over by the Queen Mother is to set up a memorial tablet for Princess Gui, and the next official will finish it in two days." Qiu Zhang said: "I am going to pay a visit to An Guogong, and then I will ask the old man if there is any other request. .”

Qi Daiqing nodded, "Then go and get busy, Mr. An has a lot of things to do, since we have an appointment, we can't waste his time."

"Then I will leave." Qiu Zhang smiled and got on the sedan chair and left.

Qi Daiqing watched Qiu Zhang's sedan chair walk away, and said to his attendants: "It seems that the Empress Dowager is really in a hurry, and she is going to re-elect the princess for Prince Gui."

"I don't know whose family's young lady this time is." The doorman didn't know whether to worry about that family's young lady or be happy.

He said he was worried, but King Gui was a prince born in the direct line, and he was a direct brother with the Holy One. Even if he raised the flag and rebelled and occupied Guangxi for more than two years, he returned to the capital to act like a baby. Fief.

The King of Gui is not the King of Gui, but the King of Gui in the true sense.

As long as he doesn't make troubles in this life and offend the Holy Majesty's bottom line, he can be rich and honored for the rest of his life.

Therefore, being Princess Gui is both expensive and good.

There is really nothing to worry about.

But there is no way not to worry, because King Gui... is really elusive and unpredictable.

No one knows if he will kill himself on a whim.

"The empress dowager should still choose the young lady of the Duke of Anguo's mansion closely. After all, the previous Miss Qin, the royal family has been sorry to the Duke of Anguo's mansion. This time, to make up for it, the empress dowager will definitely do this."

The doorman thought it made sense, "Grand An is probably not happy about it, after all, he is expensive now, and he doesn't need to marry the prince to stabilize it."

The master and servant chatted and went back to the government office.

Du Jiuyan squatted in front of the grave, looking at the bones inside.

Because he died in vain without a name and surname, the bones of the deceased were buried in the mass grave. Fortunately, the old man in Shouyi Village remembered it, otherwise he would not be able to find it.

"Old Diao, the clerk of the government office, held a red umbrella and pointed to the broken mark on the left arm of the deceased, "At that time, the autopsy confirmed that the left and right fractures were new injuries, otherwise it would be unbearable for ordinary people to suffer such pain without treatment. "

"This is a baby," Diao Da slapped the small bones gathered in the abdomen of the corpse, piled up messily, "judging by the size of the bones, it should be about five months old."

Du Jiuyan stared at the corpse's ribs, "Is the mark on it an old wound?"

Lao Diao glanced at Du Jiuyan, and then carefully examined both ribs, "It should be." He counted, "The time of injury should not be at the same time, it seems that this person is often beaten and abused."

"It's pathetic if you don't get beaten and abused, and you won't get beaten to death while pregnant." Zou Kaixuan smacked his mouth.

Lao Diao nodded, suddenly gasped, and said, "What is this?"

As he spoke, he carefully picked out a jade pestle under the woman's pelvis.

The jade pestle and the baby's arms are thick and thin, about two inches in length, with some rattan patterns embossed on them. The head of the jade pestle is round, and the workmanship is very good.

Everyone's faces were a little strange, Lao Diao looked at Shan Dequan.

"During the autopsy, I asked Mrs. Wen to check her lower body. There were no scars or signs of being raped." Shan Dequan said with certainty, "Mrs. Wen didn't mention the jade pestle either."

Fu Yuanwu asked: "Yes, someone opened the tomb later and put it in?"

"No." Du Jiuyan pointed to the position of the jade pestle, "at the position of the abdomen and pelvis, even if someone later opens the tomb and puts it in, it will not be placed here."

That's right, it's too strange that it's just a buried thing, and it's hidden under the deceased's buttocks. Fu Yuanwu blushed after thinking about it, and said in disbelief: "In her anus?"

Du Jiuyan nodded, "It should be."

A pregnant woman who was five months pregnant had her anus blocked with a jade pestle, was beaten all over her body and had her left arm broken, and was thrown from a boat into the water and drowned.

She hardly dared to make up the story in it, otherwise it would be unconstrained and difficult to end.

"The jade pestle is also an ordinary jade pestle," Shan Dequan kicked, "Even if you find it, it's worthless."

Du Jiuyan shook his head, "At least, it adds a piece of evidence to the direction we confirmed this morning."

In the backyard, a concubine's room.

Or being jealously abused by the "sisters" at home, or being sexually abused by the perverted husband.

"There is no such man in Beijing?" Du Jiuyan looked at Shan Dequan, "I have taken a lot of concubines, but there are not many people in the family. The women in the backyard change quickly."

Shan Dequan's eyes moved, and he said: "If you have reached this point, you must have a good family background. Such a family, when there are such scandals, they usually keep their mouths shut to prevent people from spreading the news."

"We, don't know." Shan Dequan said.

Du Jiuyan glanced at him, nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, there are still nine days to continue the investigation."

Everyone packed up the bones and put them back. Shan Dequan put away the jade pestle and brought it back to the Yamen.

Du Jiuyan led ten people back to the palace through the night, and everyone was waiting for them in the flower hall.Everyone went back to wash and change their clothes, one by one came over with wet hair, Xiao Qing smelled the smell while walking, "Do I still have the smell on my body, Senior Brother Duan, smell it."

Duan Ying sniffed it, shook his head and said, "It doesn't smell like it, it's just your own illusion. Just light some incense before going to bed and it will be fine."

"Okay," Xiao Qing said and saw Du Jiuyan, "Sir, don't you want to wash?"

Du Jiuyan only changed clothes and did not take a bath.

"I'm a little tired. I'll wash it before going to bed." He pointed to the opposite side, and a dozen people sat around the table. King Gui asked, "What do you gain from the autopsy this afternoon?"

Little Luobo and Huazi Nao'er were playing in the backyard, so Du Jiuyan told everyone about his discovery without any scruples.

King Gui was stunned, and asked for a long time, "How is the quality of jade?"

"It's not bad, much better than the quality of the bracelet." Du Jiuyan said: "Not only is he a veteran in sex, but he is also a person with extreme requirements."

"If accidental vendettas are excluded, then this woman's husband has wives and children and many concubines."

Fu Yuanwu asked: "Is it because the technique is very unconventional?"

"It's because they don't cherish it. Most people's wives and concubines are pregnant, not to mention holding it carefully, but they definitely won't treat it so harshly."

Du Jiuyan looked at King Gui, "Is there such a dude in the capital?"

King Gui said: "There are many! However, if you want to check one by one, it's not troublesome."

"You don't need to check one by one. This man is good-looking, humorous, and very popular with women. He has a good family background and is very popular with the elders in the family. In short, if you don't look at his attitude towards women, he should be a suave and popular person. .”

King Gui thought for a while, "There are really few people like this."
