Xu Qi'an looked at his back and was not very optimistic.
After many days, it is too difficult to obtain evidence.
"If you can't test your fingerprints, it's almost impossible to get evidence. The shoe prints definitely can't be Zhang Xian's own... Well, apart from these, what other methods are applicable in this era and can help solve the case..." He searched his stomach. Gut's way.
…
"These incompetent subordinates are as shrewd as monkeys when they are fishing for oil and water. They can squeeze out oil and water with stones. When it comes to business, they are all incompetent dogs."
The county magistrate was angry in the inner hall. The murder case was a major case, and the deceased was also related to Mr. Xu, who was involved in the incident.
Who is the one who is at fault
He is a self-proclaimed clear talker, a mad dog who catches someone who bites someone, and whoever is not pleasing to the eye will be impeached.
With a goatee beard and a thin face, Master Xu accompanied him and said with a smile: "If your lord continues to persecute like this, they will have to fish."
They are all old fried dough sticks, and the subordinates under their hands pay attention to what they are doing, and the chief is clear.
When it comes to coquettish operations in the officialdom, the most subordinate officials are at the level of primary school students, the highest rank is in the temple, followed by the top officials.
"Fishing?" The magistrate of Zhu snorted: "It was nothing in the past. The Jingcha was just around the corner, and when he turned back and was impeached on the grounds that he was beaten as a trick, how should this officer handle himself?"
Just as he was talking, the sound of hurried footsteps came, and Wang Zhaotou entered the inner hall, crossed the threshold and stopped, with a respectful attitude and excitement in his tone: "Sir, in the case of Mrs. Zhang, the villain has already seen his eyes. Ask the adults to issue a ticket, and the villains will take them."
Magistrate Zhu and Master Xu looked at each other, the former sneered, and the latter showed such a smile as expected.
Seeing that the two of them looked wrong, Wang Caotou urged, "Sir? Time can't wait."
Magistrate Zhu patted the table and scolded: "Idiot, what time is this, and you still want to fish. Are you a pig's brain?"
The trick is to be used on weekdays, but there is a problem here.
After the prisoner confesses, the confession and file must be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Punishment will issue a verdict after verification.
At the end of the year, there will be an investigation in Beijing, and the official atmosphere in the capital is tense. While everyone is packing up their tails, they are monitoring each other, hoping to catch the political opponents.
This is the time to overturn the case.
Wang Zhaotou hurriedly defended: "Master misunderstood, the villain is really sure to catch the real murderer, not fishing. Please believe me."
I don't know what level you are... County magistrate Zhu was not at ease about this, and glanced at Lao Wang: "Tell me carefully."
Wang Zhaotou said, "It's time for me to appear before me."
"Sir, listen to me in detail, there are many doubts in Zhang's case..."
Lao Wang reproduced Xu Qi'an's inference as it was, and told it to the two adults.
At first, Magistrate Zhu sneered, but as he listened, his waist straightened unconsciously. In the end, he didn't say a word, but his face was serious.
He is thinking.
"Wonderful!" Master Xu gave a high-five, with a loud 'smack', looking very excited: "Scratch the cocoons, and the adjustment is clear, and you can infer the whole case from these inconspicuous details. The old hand of the punishment department is nothing more than that."
Although it has yet to be verified!
But this reasoning undoubtedly pointed the way for the confused people in the county government.
Wang Zhaotou smiled and said, "Everyone has passed the prize."
The magistrate Zhu sneered: "Tell me, who taught you."
Wang Zhaotou pondered for a while, pressed down on the mind of Lan Gong, and said truthfully: "Kaishou Xu Qi'an."
Kuaishou is not a live broadcast platform, and Xu Qi'an is not an anchor. Kuaishou is the name of Kuaiban's subordinates, also called catching fast.
Xu Qi'an... The magistrate Zhu was the first to react: "It's him."
Magistrate Zhu and Xu Pingzhi had drunk several times, and they had some friendship. A few years ago, Xu Pingzhi spent 22 taels of silver to get the fat poor guy Kuaishou for his nephew.
In the Great Feng Dynasty, the position of the official could be passed on to the son.
A golden rice bowl that is as stable as an old dog.
"It's right for him." The magistrate Zhu smiled.
Director Xu's eyes flashed, thinking of the tax case involving the Xu family, and immediately asked, "What do you say?"
Wang Zhaotou also listened attentively.
The magistrate of Zhu smiled and said, "The Xu family bears the brunt of the robbery of taxation and silver in the city. They should have been held accountable. Do you know why the Xu family was able to escape?"
Wang Zhaotou immediately said: "I heard that it was Master Xu of the Imperial Sword Guard who helped to handle the case, and the sage was tolerant and absolved him of his sins."
This is what he heard from Xu Qi'an just now.
Master Xu glanced at the look of the magistrate Zhu, and said tentatively, "There is something wrong with this case."
The details of the disappearance of tax and silver are not yet accessible to Xu's rank, but the magistrate of Zhu is the parent of Changle County, although he is only a younger brother in a place where the rich and powerful gather in the capital.
But without a backer behind you, you can't sit firmly in this position.
The magistrate Zhu snorted: "Xu Pingzhi is just a vulgar warrior, he is just a scapegoat in this case..." Suddenly he stopped, as if he didn't want to reveal too much, and instead said: "It's not him who really turned the Xu family over. "
"Who is it!" Wang Zhaotou asked subconsciously.
The answer flashed in Xu Zhuzhu's mind, waiting for the follow-up of Zhu County magistrate.
"It's Xu Qi'an, who solved the truth of the tax and silver case. This matter is recorded on the file. One of the officials was an official in Jingzhao Mansion in the same year." The magistrate of Zhu said: "The son has passed on the father's behalf, and the father's debt is repaid by the son. , although he is a nephew, but the reason is the same."
Master Xu took a deep breath: "After the incident, Xu Qi'an should be locked up in the government's prison. How did he do it?"
The magistrate Zhu pondered: "I thought it was incredible at first, but now I want to understand."
Master Xu also thought of it and couldn't believe it: "Only the dossier?!"
Just based on the dossier... Wang Chau's head is stunned, but this kind of officialdom secrets can occasionally be heard by the three officials above his head.
What he couldn't believe was that Xu Qi'an played a huge role in the robbery of tax silver and rescued the Xu family.
Wang Zhaotou said, this is not right, it makes no sense.
When this kid first arrived, he was stubborn and stubborn.
Such a stunned young man, how could the case be closed in a blink of an eye
…
When Chief Wang Zhai returned to the lounge with the cards, Xu Qi'an fell asleep on the table. He thought too much about the mess last night and didn't sleep until after the third watch.
Others reached out to push Xu Qi'an, but Wang Zhaotou immediately stopped him and lowered his voice: "Let him sleep."
I picked two people at random, "You guys come to Zhang's house with me."
The three quick hands, bringing their respective white servants, a total of nine people, hurriedly left the Changle County Office.
Baiji are temporary workers, a type of corvée, composed of ordinary people, with no salary, no food or housing.
But there is also a good conscience: they don't have to take the blame.
Xu Qi'an was awakened by the "mighty" voice, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and walked to the lobby of the county government office.
It is estimated that the person has been arrested, and the county magistrate is interrogating in front of the court.
In the court, after the magistrate of Zhu Gao stood after the court case, the court officials and the servants were on the left and right.
Under the koan, there were three classes of yamen standing on the left and right sides, and two people kneeling in the middle, one was a young man in a blue robe with embroidered cloud patterns, and the other was a beautiful woman in a purple dress.
The woman looked terrified and the young man was relatively calm.
"Snapped!"
The magistrate of Zhu County angrily slapped the jingtang wood, and said loudly: "Who is under the hall!"
The woman subconsciously glanced at the young man, and the young man gave her a calm look and straightened his back: "Zhang Xian, the grass-man."
The woman whispered softly: "People's woman Yang Zhenzhen."
The magistrate Zhu shouted: "How did the two of you kill Zhang Yourui, it's from the truth!"
The woman shuddered with fright, her long eyelashes trembled, and her face showed panic.
The young man Zhang Xian was shocked: "Why did your lord say this, how could Caomin kill his biological father?"
The magistrate Zhu asked, "Where were you when the incident happened?"
"I'm in the study."
"Why don't you go down with your wife?"
"Caomin is looking at the accounts."
"There may be witnesses."
"In the middle of the night, where did the witnesses come from?"
Zhang Xian's answer was clear and unhurried. Either he had a clear conscience, or he had already made a draft.
According to his own logical reasoning, Xu Qi'an prefers the latter possibility.
Although he did not have an alibi, but there is also no evidence to prove that he murdered, reasoning is reasoning, if there is no tangible evidence, there is no doubt about the guilt...
The county magistrate turned to look at the woman and said, "Sister Zhang Yang, this official asked you, you and Zhang Yourui have been married for ten years and have nothing to do. Why are you pregnant again? Tell me honestly, are you living with your stepson and murdering your relatives? husband."
Zhang Yang was taken aback and cried, "My lord, the woman has been wronged, and the woman's health is not good. In recent years, she has been taking care of her husband's flesh and blood. How can the master accuse the woman of murdering her husband on this basis?"
Crying loudly.
How could it be possible to find out the truth in such a trial? Xu Qi'an looked at the Shuiling woman from a distance for a moment, and his heart moved, and he had a good idea.
