Xiao Feng ignored the long-legged girl's threat to arrest him and went straight to the prison.
Although Jiajing did not allow Jin Yiwei to participate in the case, he acquiesced to Xiao Feng's putting Lao Wang in prison.
After all, he didn't want Lao Wang to choke to death while eating and end up in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. This kind of thing happened frequently in the past few years.
Although the imperial edict has a reputation for being vicious, life and death are controlled by the emperor. If the emperor does not let you die, it will be difficult even if you want to.
This is not the end of the Ming Dynasty, when Jinyiwei and Dongchang are still firmly in the hands of the emperor.
After the fright of the past two days, Lao Wang gradually calmed down. When Xiao Feng walked in, Lao Wang was working hard to cook.
Because of the care of Shen Lian and others, Lao Wang's food was quite good, with meat and vegetables on the big bowl.
Seeing Xiao Feng come in, Lao Wang quickly put down his rice bowl. Xiao Feng waved his hand and motioned for him to eat slowly. He sat down on the chair and thought about how to guide Lao Wang.
Now Xiao Feng's understanding of the "Cangjie Heavenly Book" is getting deeper and deeper. This book reveals the secrets of heaven, so there are many rules, but these rules are not unavoidable.
It is difficult for Xiao Feng to take the initiative to test what he wants to know. Even if he does, he will not feel that way and the results will not be accurate.
So just like he hinted and guided Zhang Tianci last time, he would let others take the initiative to ask for what he wanted to know.
Hints and guidance are necessary. If he blatantly violates the rules and tells the other party what he is required to test, the "Cangjie Heavenly Book" will spurn him and not give him any feelings.
The general rule of "Cangjie Heavenly Book" is: I can tolerate your being mean, but you can't pretend that my rules don't exist!
So when Lao Wang finished his meal, wiped his mouth, and looked at Xiao Feng expectantly, Xiao Feng had probably figured out the formula for this conversation.
"Old Wang, long live for letting me take over this case. I will definitely get to the bottom of it."
Lao Wang was very excited. He was indeed a little overjoyed. He thought about many possibilities, but he didn't expect that Xiao Feng would be the one to take charge of the case.
"Sir, it's all up to you to be a lower-ranking official. Is there any progress?"
Well, this conversation was on the right track. Xiao Feng nodded with satisfaction.
"Other things are easy to talk about. What bothers me now is the origin of this female corpse. The guy who reported the case was a vegetable seller, and he insisted that he passed by the dry well selling vegetables in the morning.
I checked and found out that he really had to go through that route when selling vegetables. As for why he looked into the dry well, he said that a green vegetable accidentally fell in.
If this reason and this candidate can really be arranged, then the person who arranged it is definitely extremely smart."
Lao Wang nodded. As an experienced prosecutor, he even believed that the person who reported the crime was the first suspect, so he also conducted an investigation at the beginning, and the conclusion was no different from Xiao Feng's.
"Sir, without evidence, we cannot torture the person who reported the crime. Besides, although the person is a merchant, he seems to have seen a lot of the world, so torture may not be effective."
Xiao Feng guided quietly, patiently, patiently. He was like a flower picker sneaking up on the girl's bed, trying hard not to trigger the rules of the Book of Heaven.
"So the origin of this female corpse is very important. But there is no good way. There is no clue, no clue, even gods can't figure it out."
Lao Wang's eyes suddenly lit up, yes, ordinary people can't do it, how can gods do it?
"Sir, your Taoism is profound, why don't you test the words to find out?"
Xiao Feng shook his head repeatedly, his attitude was very sincere.
"It's useless, I can't test my own words. Besides, this female corpse has nothing to do with me. I'm just a case judge. Even if I can't judge the case, I'll just get a few scoldings. It's not my own business.
"
Lao Wang is anxious. If you can't get the case to trial, you'll get scolded, and I'll lose my head.
"Sir, my life and death depend on this woman. This should be my business, right? I beg you, sir, to test one word for me."
Xiao Feng looked helpless and reluctant.
"It's okay to test a word for you, but you have to think clearly about what you want to ask. I can only test one word a day, and I'll be half exhausted. You may not have so many days to ask slowly."
Lao Wang nodded repeatedly and called to the jailer to bring him a pen and ink. Then he picked up the pen and concentrated on it. Unknowingly, tears fell down his face.
Lao Wang shivered and finished writing, it was the word "home". No need to ask, it was because he was homesick and he wrote it out of emotion.
When people are in trouble, they should not miss home. Every thought and thought is empty.
Xiao Feng knows this feeling better than anyone else.
He doesn't know if it's a difficulty now. He's in a strange era, a strange identity, and surrounded by strangers.
Many times in the middle of the night, he reached out to hug his wife, but the hug was empty. He suddenly woke up, then silently retracted his hand and hugged himself tightly.
How many times did Qiaoqiao run towards him? He almost reached out and picked up Qiaoqiao and spun her around like he was holding his daughter.
Then always at the last moment, with Qiao Niang's extremely complicated eyes in the distance, she pretended to be calm and put one hand behind her back, and patted Qiao Qiao on the head with the other hand.
Xiao Feng's expression changed, sometimes affectionate, sometimes desolate, sometimes charming, which made Lao Wang next to him tremble with fear.
He originally thought he knew Xiao Feng. After all, he had seen him grow up through the wall. But then Xiao Feng changed too much, and he was a little unsure.
This time something happened suddenly, he sold his wife and daughter to Xiao Feng, and it was actually his daughter who he was originally worried about.
After all, his daughter's thoughts about Xiao Feng cannot be hidden from him. Sparks can fly across the wall. Living under the same roof, no one can protect anyone if something happens between young people!
So he had already made a psychological preparation at that time. If he could be released from prison, he would definitely help his daughter fight for the position of his wife; if he could not be released from prison, his daughter would have no one to support her and she would have to live a stable life as a concubine.
.
But in the past two days, no one paid attention to me in the prison. As I thought about it, I suddenly felt that it seemed that my wife was more worth worrying about!
Xiao Feng's unique taste is well known in the capital. He has heard of it before, but he never took it seriously and only took it as a joke.
But now when I think about it, I can feel through the wall that Xiao Feng’s attitude towards Qiao Niang seems to be worse than towards Qiao Qiao...
Thinking back again, Zhang Yunqing lived in the Xiao family, and his daughter also picked up the wall every day. It seemed that Xiao Feng didn't show any interest. Combined with the rumors...
Now Mr. Xiao looks at my writing of the word "home", with this ever-changing expression. Why do I feel more and more obscene the more I read it? I'm going to be robbed of my home?
"I can only ask one question, think about it before I say it!"
Lao Wang's thoughts were interrupted by Xiao Feng. He suddenly thought of his situation and shook his head vigorously to get rid of the messy thoughts.
"Sir, I would like to ask, who is the woman in the case of the female body in the dry well that may have killed me?"
Sensible! Xiao Feng was extremely satisfied. He never expected that Lao Wang had such a high emotional intelligence and specifically pointed out that this woman might kill him.
When Xiao Feng looked at the word "home" again, he had abandoned all distracting thoughts, and his expression no longer changed, which made Lao Wang secretly sigh in relief.
"There is a treasure cover above the word '家', which is covered with treasure. This is the image of seal covering paper. A horizontal line is added under the treasure cover, which is the head of the word 'Xuan'. The treasure seal is covered with paper and is used to declare. This is
Imperial decree!”
Lao Wang was shocked. He looked at Xiao Feng and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably. He was scared.
Xiao Feng's face turned slightly pale and he was shaking, but he was tired.
Even though he had acted like a chicken thief and forcibly established a connection between Lao Wang and the female corpse, after all, Lao Wang's own affairs were still a bit far-fetched. The more this situation happened, the more difficult it would be to measure the words.
"Below the 'family' is a pig. The pig is a symbol of being 'driven' and unable to escape. This is a person who has been forcibly conquered by the imperial decree."
"'Boar' is the source of meat. People are knives, and I am fish meat. There is a seal on the meat, which is forbidden!"
"'Boars' are animals raised in captivity. They are fed and slaughtered by others. They are people in captivity!"
Xiao Feng spoke faster and faster, his voice became louder and louder, and his face became paler and paler. In the end, he no longer knew whether he was tired or angry.
Lao Wang looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar young man with fear. This time, it was not because he was worried about being robbed, but because he suddenly had a feeling.
