Chapter 100 Confirmation
Yang Qiu looked at Master Jin. This man was the confidant of County Magistrate Song, so there was no need to worry. He looked at the squad leader behind County Magistrate Song and did not speak.
Magistrate Song immediately understood, coughed, and told the squad leader to retreat and close the door. Then he asked, "Nephew, yes, if you need any matter, you need your uncle's help. If you help, just say it."
Haha, Yang Qiuchi laughed secretly, I want you to help? You should ask me for help right away. Without going around the bush, he said directly: "Uncle, the case of Long Zixu killing his wife is a wrong case."
Magistrate Song was stunned and turned his head to look at Master Jin. Master Jin was also surprised and asked, "Supervisor Yang, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. Magistrate Song spent a lot of energy on the case of Long Zixu's killing of his wife, and finally confirmed the murderer. After Long Zixu was arrested and brought to justice, he has been confessing. Some time ago, Ningguo Mansion has approved the case and is reporting it layer by layer."
Magistrate Song's face was not very good-looking, and he didn't speak with a gentle face.
Master Jin looked at Magistrate Song, and intensified his tone and said to Yang Qiuchi: "Yang Guanjian, I know you want to share your uncle's worries. It's good to be careful. However, Master Jin has been in this industry for so many years and has seen all kinds of right and wrong. This young man wants to make a name for himself. It's good to have such ambition, but he can only do it steadily, not..."
"Long Zixu's wife is not dead, she is back!" Yang Qiuchi was tepid and interrupted Master Jin's long-term lecture.
"What?" Song Magistrate Song couldn't help asking, and Master Jin's face also changed. They fully knew the meaning of this sentence and the consequences of it, but they did not believe it. Song Magistrate Song looked at Yang Qiuchi's face carefully, as if he was exploring whether Yang Qiuchi was joking or had other purposes.
"Long Zixu's wife Wang is back." Yang Qiuchi repeated again, "Wang's parents, neighbors and Li Zheng have proved that the one who came back is Long Zixu's wife. I'll take you to see you now."
No doubt, Yang Qiuchi was not joking. When Magistrate Song heard him say this, he felt a little cold. He knew Yang Qiuchi's ability. Since Yang Qiuchi dared to say this, he was already confident. In this way, the case he tried was probably a wrong case. Magistrate Song felt that cold sweat had begun to flow down his forehead. In fact, Magistrate Song knew very well about this case. Long Zixu had never admitted to killing his wife in the lobby. Finally, he had been sentenced several times and interrogated for a whole afternoon. Long Zixu couldn't stand it, so he confessed.
Master Jin heard Yang Qiuchi say so surely, and he became a little nervous. Although Long Zixu was tortured in the lobby, he admitted it. However, after being imprisoned in prison, he was always injustice. Is there really an injustice in this case?
County Magistrate Song could not imagine the consequences of this matter. If the case was really a wrong case, Long Zixu was a death sentence he personally convicted. Then he would constitute a "crime of incorporation". According to the provisions of the "Da Ming Law", he would be dismissed and the black hat would be gone. Can he hide it and kill Long Zixu if he mistakenly kills the matter? Not to be sure, he already knows this matter and does not correct it, that is, "deliberately convicted", which would be even worse. He should implement a rebellion, that is, if the defendant is guilty of being wrongly convicted and has been executed, the presiding official must "deductively convict" and pay the life of the wrongly killed person.
When Magistrate Song thought of these various consequences, he felt like a sieve and sweating heavily, but he still had a last glimmer of hope in his heart: "Nephew, it's important, you, can't you talk nonsense?"
Yang Qiuchi smiled: "If I hadn't known that this matter was of great importance, I wouldn't have discussed it with you quietly. Let's first look at the authenticity of the Long Zixu lady, and then discuss how to deal with this case. What does my uncle think?"
"So great!" County Magistrate Song was very grateful to Yang Qiuchi for thinking so thoughtfully.
The three of them came outside Long Zixu's house. Yang Qiuchi ran to the door first and shouted in a long voice: "The magistrate is here~!"
There was a room full of people. When I heard that the county master was coming, I knelt down in one go and said to him to pay homage to the master.
Magistrate Song and Master Jin sat down in the middle, and Yang Qiuchi sat aside. Magistrate Song asked, "Is Long Zixu's wife, Long Wang, here?"
A middle-aged woman stood up and bent down and knelt down two steps forward: "Minister Long Wang, come to see the master." The woman was caught with a few blood marks on her face, and the corners of her mouth were still bleeding, as if she had just been beaten.
County Magistrate Song's heart skipped a beat and he was stunned. It's over, this person is really the word of Wang, the wife of Long Zixu. The case he convicted was a wrong case and was also convicted of death. Now, the black hat on his head was afraid he would fly away.
Master Jin saw Magistrate Song in a daze, and everyone in the room was waiting for him to ask questions, but his eyes were straightened when he looked at Wang. Of course, Master Jin knew that Magistrate Song was not interested in the Wang family of this half-old Xu Niang, but was afraid of being dismissed from office and investigated.
Master Jin couldn't laugh, and he had a share in this case. Although he was not an official, he didn't have to worry about being dismissed. However, as a ruling master who was proficient in criminal law, he failed to help the boss find out the case, which made the boss lose his official position. If this was to spread, no one would be willing to hire him, so he should get out of bed.
Thinking of this, Master Jin also started to sweat on his head. Master Jin coughed and asked, "Are you really the Dragon King, the wife of Long Zixu?"
"The private woman is exactly."
"You..., why did you run away from home?"
Wang glanced at a man in his thirties behind him and replied with his head held high, "The civilian woman is unwilling to continue living with Long Zixu, a poor scholar. He has no ability at all. He only knows how to shake his head and read books all day long, and does not know how to feel sorry for others. He is not full or warm in food, so how can he live this life? I asked him to divorce me, but he is unwilling to do so. I can't do anything, so I secretly ran away with Mo Dou."
"Bah~! You embarrassing bitch!" An old woman in the crowd stood up and rushed to Wang, reaching out to tear her mouth. "Do you still think it's not embarrassing enough? Still showing off your ugly things? You're going to lose all my old face!"
Wang did not resist and allowed the old woman to pull her hair and grab her face. So there were a few more blood marks on her face.
"Mom, just spare us. She and I are in love with each other sincerely." The man in his thirties kowtowed and said.
"Bah~!" The old woman spitted on the man's face, "Who is your mother? You thief, you kidnapped my daughter away and lost all my old face. How did you let me meet people? How could I live!" As she said, she slapped herself hard.
It seems that this old woman is Wang's mother, a shrew, and the man in his thirties is Mo Douqiao, a carpenter who had an affair with Wang.
Mo Douqiao did not wipe the spit on his face. He knelt down and crawled for a few steps, begging: "Mom, I beg you, I can't live or die without her. I will be with her."
The old woman slapped her in the face and kicked her several times. Everyone else came up to persuade her.
The room was in chaos. Master Jin saw that Magistrate Song was still in a daze there. He frowned and shouted: "Okay! Master is here, do you still dare to be so arrogant? Do you want to be beaten?"
When everyone heard this, they all knelt down one after another, not daring to speak again.
"Where is the father of Long Wang? Are you here?" Master Jin looked around in the crowd.
An old man hiding behind someone else's back, leaned out timidly, stood up and knelt forward two steps, knelt down and kowtowed, so nervous that he couldn't speak.
When Master Jin saw him, his heart suddenly became cold. He recognized this person. When he tried the Long Zixu case, he was led by Yuli to the yamen to take the corpse back for burial. He was indeed the father of Long Zixu's wife. Master Jin also wanted to confirm: "Are you the father of Wang, the Long Zixu?"
"Yes." The old man replied tremblingly.
"If you know carefully, is this woman indeed your daughter Wang?"
The old man turned his head and looked at Wang who was kneeling on the side, nodded: "It's my daughter, that's right."
"Then why did you say that the corpse was your daughter?" Master Jin's face sank, and he could find out if he could find a scapegoat.
The old man was afraid of seeing the officials, and when he heard this, his whole body was trembling all over, and he could not speak.
An old man stepped forward and said, "The villain is here. I can prove that this woman is indeed the Wang family, Long Zixu's wife. At that time, the bone was not recognized at all. However, Wang's mother was missing for a long time, and his parents were worried about it. He heard that others said that the bone was their daughter, so he believed it. Now it seems that he was indeed wrong." Several men and women kneeling behind him also whispered.
The village is the first-level grassroots government in rural streets, equivalent to the current township chief, village chief or street office director.
It was very cunning here, and it was not clear that the white bones that I heard were Wang, but everyone knew that they were said by the yamen. He had a hidden meaning in his words: "You said that the bones were Wang, of course we believe you, so we took them back." After a few words, he gently pushed the blame back.
Master Jin wanted to say something else. County Magistrate Song sighed, stood up and said, "No, don't ask, go." He turned around and left the door. Yang Qiuchi followed him out.
Master Jin stood up and said, "Mo Douqiao, Long Wang, you two commit adultery. According to the "Da Ming Law", you will be punished with eighty sticks and paraded in the street for three days. However, now the master is not free. You two are staying at home and are not allowed to run around. You are always waiting for the yamen to summon the yamen." He turned his head and said, "They will be left to you. You must watch it well. When the master is finished, he will come to deal with this matter." After the explanation, he immediately went out.
Seeing that the county magistrate left, the old woman stood up suddenly, rushed over and grabbed Wang Shidi's hair and tugged again, crying and scolding: "You bitch, you have lost our face, why don't you die, how can you let us live? God, you take this shameless prostitute..."
Wang let her mother pull her hair and curse her. A line of tears flowed down, but her eyes were just looking at the carpenter Mo Douqiao. Mo Douqiao knelt on the ground, still begging for tears.
