The magistrate of Laohekou County was helpless because he could not find out who the murderer was. There was no direct evidence to prove that Wang Sanniang had an affair, and it could not be proved that Wang Sanniang was responsible for the murder. Besides, Wang Sanniang and Wang Sanlang had a good relationship, and Wang San did not have an affair or cheat on him.
, was still very kind to Wang Sanniang, and even handed over all the money to Wang Sanniang for management.
Wang Sanniang always denied killing her husband and kept complaining, so the Laohekou County Magistrate sent the case to Dali Temple.
When the former Minister of Dali Temple received the case, he immediately became confused. This case could not be solved no matter what. It was a headless case and could not be solved at all.
This case dumbfounded many people and allowed Yin Jian to be quickly promoted to the rank of Minister of Dali Temple.
Yin Jian ordered people to spread the book of divination and wisdom.
Bu Huishu knew a long time ago that Yin Jian would definitely come to invite him, so he didn't sleep.
After meeting Yin Jian, Bu Hui wrote: "Master, what are your instructions for sending Wansheng over late at night?"
"Dear brother, in private, let's not call ourselves master, nor should we claim to be born late. We are all brothers, so just call them brothers. There is no need to follow so many red tapes. It's annoying." Yin Jian said.
"My dear friend, you are the Minister of Dali Temple and yet you are so approachable. It's really touching and touching." Bu Huishu said.
"You're kidding! If it weren't for Brother Xian's full support, where would I be today? No matter where you are, you must maintain a humble and prudent attitude. Without further ado, Brother Xian, let's see how best to handle this case? Who is it?
The murderer?" Yin Jian asked.
"The murderer is easy to find. But what if it is proven? Let them be convinced." Bu Huishu said.
"How did you identify the murderer?" Yin Jian asked.
"Generally speaking, the most dangerous place is also the safest place. Look, dear friend, Wang Sanniang said that Wang San had already set off when the rooster crows for the third time. It seems that he is a very punctual and self-disciplined person.
"People, we arrived at Xianrendu Pier early." Bu Huishu said.
"Oh, this detail is very important. In other words, Wang San has arrived at Xianrendu Pier." Yin Jian asked.
"Yes, as far as I know, there are no wild beasts here. In other words, the possibility of Wang San being bitten to death by a wild beast and being dragged away is very small. It is very possible that Wang San is still at the Xianrendu Pier." Bu Huishu said.
When Yin Jian heard this, he trembled with fright.
"My dear friend, don't be afraid!" Bu Huishu said.
"Brother, I have a bad premonition that Wang San must have been killed at the dock. According to what you said, Wang San has left home and has not gone anywhere. He has no other enemies. Maybe he went there last
The place is where he was killed," Yin Jian said.
"Yes, the analysis is very accurate. Please continue." Bu Huishu said.
"So, judging from the relationship between Wang Sanniang and Wang San, everyone from all over the country knows that Wang San has married a good wife. Wang Sanniang is a good person. She is not a promiscuous person, so she is naturally the best person to assist his man. Wang Sanniang does not
The time she committed the crime was because she was incapable of doing anything else," Yin Jian said.
"So, who is most likely to commit the crime?" Bu Huishu asked.
"Is it Huang Erlang?" Yin Jian asked.
"Huang Erlang, his family is well off, and he doesn't have to worry about not having enough money. Besides, he does business just for fun, not to make a lot of money. In comparison, he has also helped Wang San a lot, so there is no need to covet it.
That money, besides, Huang Erlang has many opportunities to take action, there is no need to return people's names at home, it is not for making money, and it will not kill people, unless they are perverts who like to see other people's pain." Yin Jian said.
"Then who is it? Is it someone else? Who is interested in meeting Cai?" Bu Huishu asked.
"I think he looks a bit like the boatman, that is, Zhen Xiong. According to the villagers, he likes gambling and is addicted to gambling. He often loses money and does not want to repent. His wife hanged herself from the rafter because he could not get rid of his gambling problem. In order to be with his wife
I decided to quit gambling and cut off my left index finger and little finger," Yin Jian said.
"That's right, what else was discovered?" Bu Huishu asked.
"He is just a gambler. He is interested in making money. Then he sees Wang San alone and can just commit the crime. The reason why Huang Erlang is excluded is because Huang Erlang has many things that he can almost commit. However, Huang Erlang doesn't. This proves that Huang Erlang is not for money.
"Zhen Xiong is different. He loves money because he loves gambling. People who love gambling love money, just like flies love smelly meat." Yin Jian said.
"That's right. It seems that my dear brother is still very careful. Solving the case depends on carefulness and hard work." Bu Huishu said.
"Yes, I saw that he liked gambling, so I thought that if he lost the bet, he would definitely need to find money. I happened to meet an unsuspecting person like Wang San and took action. I read the file and it was found that he went to Wang San's house that day to find someone.
When he called the door, he called Wang San, "Sanniang, Sanniang" several times. If he knew that Wang San was not killed and was delayed at home, he would call Wang San instead of Sanniang, which proves that when he went to Wang San's house,
You already know that Wang San has been killed. If you didn't know, you would definitely call her Wang San instead of Sanniangzi." Yin Jian said.
"Yes, this is the key to this case. As my dear friend said, he already knew that Wang San was killed, and he even pretended to go to him. It was obviously a show for Huang Erlang, and the purpose was to set off a smoke screen to cover up people's ears.
, so that Huang Erlang would not doubt him. Huang Erlang really did not doubt him, but in order to clear up his relationship, when the search was fruitless, he chose to report to the official. To say that what he did was actually
Very wise." Bu Huishu said.
"Yes, Huang Erlang is very smart. He chose to report it to the official. As a result, the Laohekou County Magistrate could not find out the case, so he handed it over to Dali Temple. Dali Temple couldn't figure it out either, so it gave us a chance. If it hadn't been for this
If it is an unsolved case, we will not go to Dali Temple, and I will not be the minister of Dali Temple." Yin Jian said.
"My dear friend, your analysis is correct." Bu Huishu said.
"Then, thanks for your advice, brother Xian, we can now bring Zhen Xiong to trial." Yin Jian said.
"Okay." Bu Huishu said.
"Okay, here comes someone! It's Zhen Xiong's fault!" Yin Jian said.
After a while, Zhen Xiong was arrested.
"Who is kneeling?" Yin Jian asked.
"Xiaomin Zhenxiong."
"Do you know your sin?" Yin Jian asked.
"Ignorant of guilt."
"You are so bold and unruly! How dare you not know the crime? Come here, hit thirty big boards first," Yin Jian ordered.
"Sir, the common people have realized their sin." Zhen Xiong said.
"speak!"
"Yes, sir. The common people are sailing boats at Xianrendu in Laohekou, from Xiangyang to Nanyang, transporting guests from north to south, and earning freight from it. In the first few days, there were guests who rented a boat to Nanyang. They all knew each other. One of them was Huang
Erlang and Wang San agreed to set off at dawn. When the rooster crowed for the third time, Wang San came. While he was packing the package, Xiao Min saw the white silver and wanted to steal it. Xiao Min
He was fond of gambling and was short of money. This was the wealth that came to his door. Xiaomin was confused and strangled Wang San to death, then tied a stone and sank to the bottom of the river. When Huang Erlang came, he pretended to look for it everywhere.
Of course, there was no result, Huang Erlang reported to the official, and Xiaomin arrived here. If Xiaomin encounters a county magistrate like Lao Hekou again, Xiaomin can still survive. Today, I see that he will not survive. I hope you will not torture me.
Xiaomin, please give me a happy death. I am very grateful to you, sir." Zhen Xiong said.
"The scribe records it in the record." Yin Jian ordered.
"The little people knew that the adults were from Xiangyang. When they found out that the adults were transferred to the capital and worked in Dali Temple, they knew that the good times were over. Unexpectedly, the adults came so quickly and solved the case so quickly. The little people admired him." Zhen Xiong
Words.
"Stop flattering, signing and stamping the confession document, and throwing yourself into death row." Yin Jian ordered.
The case has been closed, Bu Huishu nodded. Just when he was about to announce his resignation, another murder case arrived.
Someone gave Bu Huishu a brief introduction to the case. He knew the details without even looking at it, and sent the document to Yin Jian for review.
The case occurred in Yicheng.
Wensi, a magistrate of Yicheng County, was on duty at the county government office. Someone came to report the news. When he heard this, his expression immediately changed and he was shocked.
"Wensi, hurry up, your concubine Xiaohong was killed in Xiaoyao Hall. Go and have a look!" The visitor reported the letter and ran away.
When Wen Si heard this, he panicked and didn't see clearly who was reporting the news.
Without any hesitation, he immediately rushed to Xiaoyao Hall. You must know that the woman he loves most is Xiaohong.
He took three steps at a time and ran to the library. He saw his concubine Xiaohong lying in a pool of blood. It was so miserable that he immediately thought it was a vendetta. Because he worked in the county government, he would definitely offend some people. There was nothing he could do about it.
, he took it out on Xiaohong and took away Wensi's beloved things. It also made Wensi heartbroken and tortured.
He immediately made a long list of enemies in his mind, recorded it, and then went to the Yicheng County Magistrate, firstly to report the crime, and secondly to provide clues.
The county magistrate of Yicheng heard this and thought, this is not a big deal! How dare you disturb Tai Sui?!
The county magistrate ordered him to go down and immediately start investigating the case.
The county magistrate's search yielded no results. It was a murder case and the family of the deceased must be given an explanation. After repeated searches, there was no way to find the real culprit.
The county magistrate was worried and finally suspected that Wensi was responsible for the case. Wensi was talented and handsome. He often went to romantic places and was deeply loved by women.
The Yicheng County Magistrate thought that Wen Si liked the new and disliked the old, so he must have disliked Xiao Hong, so he killed her, then pretended to be innocent and shouted "Catch the thief".
Based on this, the Yicheng County Magistrate ordered the arrest of Wensi.
Wensi shouted that he was wronged.
In order to complete the task, the county magistrate beat him severely. He was tortured and forced to admit killing Xiaohong. Wen Si refused to admit it. The county magistrate had nothing to do. The case reached a deadlock.
Wen Si refused to admit it, even if he was beaten to death, he was ready to die because he loved Xiao Hong too much and was willing to die with Xiao Hong. Xiao Hong was killed, and he did not want to live anymore. In such a situation,
The county magistrate was also afraid that he would commit suicide and commit suicide, so he sent people to guard him day and night. If he died, the county magistrate would no longer be able to serve as a magistrate. Once Wen Si died, the case became more complicated and confusing. If someone else committed the crime, he would have been wronged. The case was revealed in
In the world, the county magistrate misjudges the law, confuses right and wrong, and handles unjust, false and wrong cases. He will be punished and even have his head moved. If he committed the crime and died without a trial and judgment, it also shows that there is a problem with the county magistrate's management.
If you want to be punished, you have to be punished anyway. The key is that the case has not been solved yet, and your reputation is not good.
This is a big headache.
If the case cannot be solved, it can only be handed over to the higher authorities. There are capable people above. If the case is not handled well, there will be no complaints. If the case is solved well, it is the credit of the superiors. Naturally, there will be no trouble for the small county magistrate.
Having made up his mind, the Yicheng County Magistrate handed the case over to the Dali Temple in the capital.
Yin Jian was shocked when he received this case. A small county official is still in the mood to raise a concubine. It seems that the welfare benefits in the county are good. This is the problem. The county official is a sentimental person, so he reported it to the official
, the murderer must be investigated strictly, Yin Jian was moved by this spirit and wanted to handle this case.
He thought about it, but still couldn't think of a countermeasure, so he went to Bu Huishu and said, "Look, the case in Yicheng is not far from Xiangyang and falls under the jurisdiction of Xiangyang. The case in my hometown must be taken care of no matter what. I don't care, I'm sorry.
Aren’t we fellow villagers from our hometown?”
"Okay, let me do this. It's a piece of cake. I'll wait for the good news for you!" Bu Huishu said.
"As a brother, I know that a good brother can be easily captured, and he is very powerful! I was worried that the county magistrate would embarrass you," Yin Jian said.
"No, don't worry, the county magistrate can't do anything to me! I'm not going to take away his job when I go to handle the case, and he doesn't have to be my enemy. Besides, I'm from the capital, close to the emperor, and I know all the ministers.
The county magistrate must not dare to act recklessly. If he acts recklessly, the consequences will be unpredictable. The county magistrate has not reached the age of retiring and returning home, and the salary from the court is still good. He will not refuse it. If he does not want it, he will go home and plant sweet potatoes."
The Book of Divination and Wisdom tells the truth.
"Okay, I understand. If you go, my dear brother, you will definitely win. But if you go, my dear brother, you have to have a name, and you can't go in the name of master."
"Then in what name should we go?"
"Supervisory censor."
"This is a good name, how do you get it?"
"My dear brother, don't worry. I will definitely make arrangements for you. Let's go find the emperor."
"Thank you for your consideration, my dear friend. If you have a job title, the local government will not dare to be careless."
"Yes, this is what everyone pays attention to now. It is said that the first level of officialdom kills people. If you don't have an official position, I'm afraid it's hard to believe it." Yin Jian said.
Sure enough, Yin Jian went to the emperor, and the emperor quickly gave his permission, allowing Bu Huishu to go from the capital to Yicheng as the supervisory censor.
As soon as Bu Huishu arrived in Yicheng, he made an announcement with great fanfare and made it known throughout the city that he was going to open a public trial on the murder of Wen Si's concubine Xiaohong.
The purpose is to let everyone know that this case is to be heard in public. The time and place are clearly stated, that is, Xiaoyao Building, Xiaoyao Hutong, and the time is Zishi.
After the announcement was sent out, Bu Huishu waited for the fish to take the bait.
That night, he made arrangements in Xiaoyao Building with great fanfare, and he was meticulous and orderly, asking Wensi to describe the situation at that time. Wensi had been interrogated many times, and he knew how to recite it. He was familiar with the road, and answered questions without asking, making Bu Huishu laugh.
, he quietly arranged for many people to squat in every corner, inside and outside, and take action immediately after receiving orders.
