The yamen servant’s voice was not low, and the surroundings were full of onlookers. Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Apart from guessing who the corpse was, some people were also glad that they didn’t buy the house cheaply, otherwise it would be so bad. .
The corpse had been deeply decomposed, and when it was fully excavated, it emitted a stench, making one unable to resist taking a few steps back to avoid it. At this time, only solemnly moved forward, put on gloves and started the autopsy.
"The deceased was about forty years old, five feet one inch tall, and died about three months ago. There were blunt trauma on the head, which should be the cause of death..."
This corpse is none other than Jiang Dashan.
Everyone was talking about it, didn't Jiang Dashan jump into the river and die, why is the body here? Who buried him here again
The three friends who were present that day were all puzzled, and one of them said: "We saw him jumping into the river with our own eyes and we couldn't find him. How could he die at home?"
Zhuang Zhong asked: "That day when the deceased entered the house and then rushed out the door, did you see his face?"
The three of them thought about it again after hearing this, and then they felt something was wrong.
"My lord reminded me like this. I found that I really didn't see his face at that time. It was just that he was wearing the clothes, and it was night, and there were no other men in the room. That's why I thought it was Brother Jiang."
"Yes, and it happened too suddenly. We drank some wine at that time and we were not sober as usual. Before we had time to think about anything, Brother Jiang rushed out. If Brother Jiang's wife, Mrs. Wu, hadn't yelled, 'Husband, why are you sober? ', we're afraid we'll be left in a daze for a while."
"But if it wasn't Brother Jiang that day, then Mrs. Wu cried that Brother Jiang was crazy and chased him out. Now that Brother Jiang's body appeared in this room again, wouldn't that mean..."
Although the person behind hadn't finished speaking, everyone understood what was going on. As a result, what Wu did, everyone can almost directly conclude that the death of Jiang Dashan has a lot to do with Wu.
Mrs. Wu has a major suspicion, so Zhuang Zhong will not let it go, and immediately sent extra manpower to arrest the other party and bring him to justice. Although Dayou was not as developed as the later generations, the system of birthplace was very strict, and he needed to pass a customs certificate when going to a different place, otherwise he would not even be able to enter the city. Due to the local protection and the system of continuous sitting and waiting, once a foreigner comes to a place, he must register clearly and check clearly. Therefore, it didn't take long for Wu and her current husband, Hu Gui, to be arrested and brought to justice.
As soon as Wu and Hu Gui heard that Jiang Dashan's body was found at home, they knew that they were doomed, so Zhuang Zhong didn't take much effort to recruit them.
Wu and Hu Gui are still cousins, childhood sweethearts have a very good relationship, but Hu Gui's family is poor and has no skills, Wu's family does not agree to their marriage. For the sake of money, the Wu family married Wu Shi to Jiang Dashan, a widower ten years older than Wu Shi. Wu Shi is also a person who likes to enjoy himself, so he didn't object. Although Jiang Dashan is a bit old, he is a caring person. At first, the two of them were Qin Xiao and Se. In addition, Jiang Dashan always likes to spread money, which makes Wu Shihao feel distressed and very unhappy. In addition, Jiang Dashan likes to go out to visit friends and wander around, and it takes half a month to go out.
When Wu was in her prime, it was inevitable that she would be depressed at home alone. Jiang Dashan asked her to go back to her natal home, but she did not expect that this would become the source of her death. When Mrs. Wu met Hu Gui when she returned to her natal home, the two already had feelings for each other. Mrs. Wu never forgot about him. Although Jiang Dashan is good at spreading money, his family is still very rich. Both of them are reluctant to part with the glory and wealth, but they want to be together again, which makes them very distressed.
The two people became murderous because the Wu family gave birth to a son. This child was not from Jiang Dashan's blood, but the product of Wu's and Hu Gui's adultery. Hu Gui didn't want her son to be called someone else's father, and even wanted to monopolize Jiang's property, so she discussed with Wu about the murderous plan of getting along.
Although Hu Gui is a bastard, he is somewhat smart. In order to prevent other people from noticing the tricks, he first asked someone to fool you Jiang Dashan that his life was imminent, so that his sudden death was a matter of course. Later, Wu asked Jiang Dashan to invite friends to drink in the courtyard every day, in order to find witnesses and let Wu escape from suspicion. He was hiding in the house that day, when Jiang Dashan went in to get the wine, he suddenly ran out of the room, covered him and then beat him to death with the hammer he had prepared. They kept beating and smashing everywhere, and took the opportunity to hide Mr. Jiang Dashan under the bed. While wearing the same clothes as Jiang Dashan, with disheveled hair, he ran towards the door, making the illusion that he jumped into the river and disappeared.
Hu Gui is good at water, he held his breath as soon as he jumped down, and hid beside the stone beside him. There was not enough light at night, so no one noticed. Later, the villagers came to rescue him, and he took advantage of the chaos to get ashore. He was in the dark, and everyone was in a hurry to save others, but no one found him among them.
Later, when no one was around, Hu Gui and Wu buried the corpse of Mr. Jiang Dashan who was hiding in the house in the hole they had dug before, and covered it with a bed, so that no one would notice it. This kind of plan can be described as one link after another, and it is easy to deceive people. In particular, the theory of gods and ghosts is always inexplicably convincing, and things that were originally strange have become taken for granted after being contaminated with these.
If it weren't for Huang Niangzi's keenness, I'm afraid the two of them would get away with it. This is how the Skynet is meticulous and meticulous, and finally allows the wicked to be brought to justice.
"I didn't expect this thief to be so shrewd. I heard that he was a scholar in the past, but this cleverness is placed in such a place. Thanks to your lord's insight." Master Wu, the judge in the signing hall, sighed, and finally took it naturally. A dignified sycophant.
Solemnly said: "If everyone acts according to the regulations, they will not be deceived by those messy things, and it will not be difficult to find out the real culprit. There are many cases where gods and ghosts are used to talk about things. The fear of ghosts conceals the absurdity of the facts."
According to the regulations, if a homicide case occurs, the case cannot be closed if the body cannot be found. It can be stipulated that this is the case, but in reality it is not necessarily the case. After all, sometimes it is difficult to find the body for one reason or another, and because everyone believed that it was the work of gods and ghosts, no one reported it to the authorities, and the people did not sue the officials, so the murderer almost let the murderer go unpunished. Lizheng was verbally reprimanded. If nothing else, at least this incident shows that these people's awareness is too low.
After the case was settled, Huang Niangzi and Tao Bao went to the funeral of Jiang Dashan again, solemnly gave them a holiday, and returned to Beijing by themselves. I have been in Luzhou for more than a month, and I have been busy running around, but I haven't seen Feng Huan for a long time. It was not obvious that they had been together before, but after being inseparable for a few days, the longing in their hearts became more and more intense.
Zhuang Zhong had just arrived in the outskirts of Beijing when he saw Feng Huan coming on horseback.
"I actually met you here."
Feng Huan smiled and said, "It means that you and I are destined."
"That is inevitable."
Zhuang Zhong didn't believe such a coincidence, he must have heard the news of his return, so he came out to greet him. He has always had the guards sent by Feng Huan by his side, because for his own sake, he accepts them without brazenly. Feng Huan knows his whereabouts like the back of his hand. But there are some things that are well known, there is no need to expose them, a little romance is always needed in life.
The two exchanged with each other what they had done during this period of time. Although they also mentioned it in their letters on weekdays, it was not as interesting as talking face to face.
"The fact that the Crown Princess is pregnant has already been announced to the world, but isn't it inappropriate to make such publicity?"
The fact that the Crown Princess is pregnant is not only known to everyone, but everyone also knows that she is pregnant with a boy, Zhuang Zhuang feels that it doesn't matter if the child is not born, but now she is so swearing, if something goes wrong at that time, it will be embarrassing. And according to Zhuang Zhong's description, the prince and princess are not those high-profile and frivolous people, so how can this matter be so ostentatious, it really does not conform to the two people's behavior. Even if you finally get a son and are really happy, it shouldn't be like this.
The two of them were nothing more than that, even the emperor got involved in order to pardon the world for the unborn child. Zhuang Zhong is in charge of criminal and prison matters, and he is in a bad mood when he hears the news. All prisoners will have their sentences reduced. Some of them did not commit serious crimes but came out just after they got in. Some of them were exiled after being sentenced to death, and the distance of exile was shortened. Zhuang Zhuang really can’t praise this kind of pardon. , There is a feeling that I have been busy in vain before.
It's too conspicuous to put such a big fanfare before the child is born. In superstitious terms, I'm afraid this child will not be able to support such a blessing.
Feng Huan said: "The son of the royal family can't afford any blessings, let alone the son of the crown prince, maybe the future true dragon emperor."
Hearing these words, Zhuang Zhong suddenly felt that all this might mean something behind it, "Could it be that the emperor wants to take action by doing this?"
The corners of Feng Huan's mouth curled up, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes, "It's time to settle the case, and now we are waiting for the prey to take the bait. Don't you really want to avenge Yuanjue, it won't be too long."
