Chapter 245

Upon hearing his words, Feng Hua immediately pursed his lips and leaned back on the chair, "How can a long-standing bad habit be changed by an imperial decree? It's just that it doesn't exist on the surface."

Some concepts have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even women themselves are trapped by them.Let's just talk about her woman being an official. It's not the men who are really dissatisfied, but more women.

The two also nodded in understanding, the reason is this.It's just that there is nothing on the surface, and things are forgotten and unknown.

Li Shangshu asked with some horror: "Lord Nangong, what do you mean, these two cases were committed by a group of people?"

If this matter was really done by a group of people, it would be a big deal.

Touching the table with her fingertips, Fenghua's complexion is not too pretty anymore, she is not only thinking about the case of these two families.

But when did this group of people come to the capital, or did they hide in the capital?

Now is the day when the foreign envoys are in Beijing. Is it a coincidence that this group of people committed the crime a month ago, or do they have some purpose?
Suddenly, Fenghua stood up with his eyes wide open, and immediately walked out quickly.

"Go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I want to meet the two brides. The Minister of Dali Temple will go with me."

"Yes." The two immediately understood and followed.

If this case was really done by a gang, and it was a serial case, it is inevitable that the three divisions will investigate together.

&
Fenghua did not bring the prisoner to meet them, but went to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment together with Li Shangshu and Fu Siqing (Dali Shiqing).

Compared with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is really different. It is also located in the backyard of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but unlike the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it is built on the ground.

The Ministry of Punishment is already one size smaller than the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the front middle court occupies more than half of the area. How much space can there be in the back yard except for the file building and the residence of the yamen servants?
The entire cell can hold a hundred people is already the upper limit, and there is no punishment room for serious offenders and minor offenders.

That's right, the interrogations of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple are all settled in the courtroom in the front yard, and Longyao has a system, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple cannot use lynching. In this way, the punishment room will naturally no longer need to exist, and more space can be opened to save space. What about the cell.

Both women are felons and were locked in the innermost part of the prison.

Not only dark and damp, but also dirty and smelly.

The prison cells of the Ministry of Criminal Justice are different from those in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The cells in the Metropolitan Procuratorate are all like secret rooms. Except for the two-palm-wide surveillance window at the cell door, the rest of the cells are not only walls, but even walls. Sound insulation effect.

However, the prison cells of the Ministry of Punishment are made of wooden sticks as thick as an adult's arm, and the walls are separated by a fist-sized distance.

That is to say, the cells between each other can exchange information.

The two brides were locked in adjacent positions, which saved Fenghua the trouble of running around.

The two women are both huddled in a corner of the cell, but one is in the left corner and the other is in the right corner, passing through the wooden partition wall between each other, holding each other tightly with both hands against the wall.

The fire here was dim, and the two women had disheveled hair and dirty prison clothes, Fenghua couldn't see their faces and expressions clearly.

The yamen guard removed the chain from the outer cell, Fenghua signaled the two adults to be outside, and she walked into the stinky cell by herself.

The two women didn't react too much to her arrival, but the woman in the cell next door looked up slightly, then lowered her head again.

This time, Fu Siqing really admired the female Zuodu Yushi.

The environment here, even Dali Siqing, whose cell was basically the same as his, couldn't bear it. If it wasn't because Fenghua was a woman, he couldn't have resisted not covering his mouth and nose just now.

But Nangong Yushi, a woman with such a status and identity, not only did not show a trace of disgust, but even entered the cell herself, which was beyond the scope of his comprehension.

Fenghua squatted in front of the two, "I am the Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I am a second-rank official. I can manage all officials below the second-rank in the court. I am the first female official of Longyao."

Both looked up at her, only then could Fenghua observe their faces.

Although they all have dirty faces, they are all women with good outlook.Perhaps it was because they were already desperate, and both of them had ashen faces.

But the two of them just looked up at her without saying a word, their eyes were a little dull.

"I have been invited by Li Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment to come here to understand the case of the two of you. To sum up everything, not only I do not believe that you were responsible for the death of your family, but Li Shangshu does not believe that you did this." Fenghua said The voice was soft and comforting.

The woman in front of her immediately had tears in her eyes, watching Fenghua and shedding tears silently, while the other threw herself directly into her arm and wept in a low voice, her voice was desperate and helpless.

Gently put your hands on the two, "I'm here to help you. I'm both a woman. If you have any grievances, you can tell me. As long as I can make decisions for you."

The woman opposite Fenghua just shook her head silently with tears, while the other one was still lying on her stomach, but she was silent.

"Do you think you killed your family members? You think you are unlucky, so you wiped out your family members as soon as you entered the house." Fenghua gently wiped away the tears on the face of the woman in front of him with his sleeves.

"But do you know? It's not your fault, it's just that someone guessed your thoughts, so they used you to make up for the crime, and they may attack the next family. In this way, there will be another woman Same fate as you."

"We..." The woman's voice was hoarse, and she let out a sound. She seemed to be sleepy, so she lowered her head without making a sound.

The people at the door were all staring inside, and Li Shangshu's eyes almost popped out of their frame.

Fenghua patted her on the shoulder lightly, and said in the same voice: "No rush, don't be afraid, you can talk to me in detail, I will definitely protect your safety."

The two women remained silent, Feng Hua didn't care whether the people outside the prison were in a hurry, she just squatted and waited silently.

Two quarters of an hour later, the woman next door raised her head, wiped her tears and said with great determination, "My lord, the woman said, the woman told you."

Feng Hua nodded with a smile on his face.

"The woman married into Zhu's family a month ago, that is, on the third day of October. Who knew that on the night of the wedding, the woman was still in the new house, and she heard screams from outside. The woman felt that something had happened. , was about to go out, and suddenly passed out."

"When the woman woke up, there were servants from the house. They told the woman that all her husband and family were dead."

Speaking of this, the woman smiled bitterly, "The woman's natal family also came. Not only did they not say a word to help the woman, they also severed relations with the woman on the spot. They scolded the woman in front of the villagers. It is the reincarnation of an evil spirit, so it should be quartered by five horses."
