Seeing Jia Yucun angrily boarding the car and leaving, Sun Shaozong was so pissed that he didn't even bother to go home and change his vest, so he rode through the market in this saucy yellow and bright red, and went straight to the Daxing County government office.
When they arrived at the gate of the county government office, the two government officials on duty thought they were some royal relatives, and they were about to come forward to pay homage.
Sun Shaozong stomped off his horse and reported his surname by name: "This official is a criminal under the name of Shuntian Prefecture. There is a case that I would like to have an interview with Wangxianzun of Guixian County. Please help me with a report."
When the two yamen heard that it was the government's 'Shen Duan Sun Tongju', they didn't dare to neglect, and immediately separated one of them and rushed in to report.
Not long after, I saw seven or eight officials filed out of the middle gate, and the leader was about fifty years old, and his face was full of wrinkles.
When Sun Shaozong saw this man's appearance, he felt a little unhappy in his heart. Although he had never met Wang Qian, the magistrate of Daxing County, he knew that the other party was a young and talented man. How could he be such an old country farmer? appearance
Although the magistrate of Daxing is also of the sixth rank, but Sun Shaozong is considered to be the Shangguan of the government, and now he is here to ask for guilt, so it is really unreasonable that Wang Qian does not come to greet him in person!
At this time, I saw the 'old farmer' official hurried down the steps, bowed to the end in front of Sun Shaozong, and said with sincerity: "Xiaguan Daxing County Magistrate Shen Dan, I have seen the judge."
Wang Qian sent this Shen Dan to come forward. Could it be that he wanted this old man to be a scapegoat
If this is the case, this fellow is too shameless!
As a parental official, at first he abused torture to become a trick, and then turned into a tortoise--I don't know why the Zhen family chose him as their son-in-law
Sun Shaozong thought so, and felt a little more sympathy for the old county magistrate in front of him. He stepped forward to help him up, and asked genially, "Sir Shen doesn't need to be more polite, but I don't know where your county honor is?"
"this… "
Then Shen Dan hesitated for a while before he said embarrassingly: "Master Wang left Beijing on leave eight days ago because his old mother was seriously ill."
You left Beijing on leave eight days ago
Today is the fifth day of the second lunar month. Didn't Wang Qian leave on the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month
So to say…
Sun Shaozong suddenly sank his face and said sternly: "So, you are the presiding judge of the corpse dismemberment case?"
Shen Tan's back that straightened up suddenly folded in half again, shrugging his neck and tucking his shoulders, shaking like a chaff: "It's right... It's the Xiaguan presiding over the trial, the Xiaguan is frightened, I really don't know what happened in this case. If there is a mistake, please let the adults express it."
tsk~
Looking at him in his fifties, he only became a seventh-grade county magistrate, and he knew that he had no background. Compared with him, Sun Shaozong became a second-generation official of the eight classics.
Originally, he wanted to be angry with the powerful, but instead he became a powerful and bully. Sun Shaozong didn't know whether he should be happy or depressed - if he knew this was the result, what was he arguing with Jia Yucun just now?
But since Wang Qian was not around, this matter was easy.
Sun Shaozong flicked his bright yellow sleeves and scolded Shangguan's face: "What's wrong, you still don't know it yet? It's ridiculous! Let's go, show me the witnesses in this case. Physical evidence, I'll tell you what's wrong!"
This morning, Xiancheng Shen received the famous post, and he was already in a panic. Now that he saw Sun Shaozong wearing a 'bullfighting suit', even his bones were so soft that he dared to violate his meaning
He hurriedly ordered the left and right to pass on the witnesses and materials, and then personally led the way, and took Sun Shaozong to the inner hall of the county government office.
This inner court is generally used for pre-trial, so that the officials can familiarize themselves with the case in advance, so as to avoid any jokes in the court-according to the rules, Sun Shaozong still can't be promoted to question the case here, so in name, Shen Dan is still the main one. .
Therefore, after Sun Shaozong entered the door, he sat directly on the clerk's seat on the left.
But when Shen Dan saw him sitting next to him, how could he dare to occupy the presiding seat behind the koan
Busy also came to the left side of the clerk's table, and bowed pitifully and stood there.
After a while, I saw three people hurriedly walked in, the Hu family and an old man with a big waist and a big waist were on the left and right, but the person in the lead was Zhou Da.
After Zhou Da entered the door, he immediately stepped forward to report: "Sir, Zhou Liang was seriously injured, and he is still undergoing diagnosis and treatment, so he can't act rashly."
Hearing this, Hu Shi couldn't help sobbing again.
Sun Shaozong didn't answer, he just raised his chin and motioned for Zhou Da to stand behind him, and then quietly waited for the evidence to be presented.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, I saw a clerk carefully holding the file and two oiled papers with blood stains, and there was no more to write.
Sun Shaozong's face suddenly sank a little bit, he turned his head and stared at Shen Dan and asked, "Is this the only evidence that can't be found? Also, where is the body of the deceased? Where is the body?!"
That Shen Dan was so frightened that his whole body jolted, and he hurriedly bowed the shrimp like a turtle with a shrunken neck, and said in a trembling voice: "Hui… Lord Hui, it is really unsightly for the corpse to be placed in the county government office, so… Therefore… The lower official sent someone to Yizhuang for temporary storage."
Seeing that Sun Shaozong was about to get angry, he hurriedly pointed to the file and said, "Sir, there are official documents for autopsy in the file, and the records are quite detailed. In fact, you don't even look at the body..."
Before he could finish speaking, Sun Shaozong sneered and said, "If everything is based on the official autopsy documents, what is the use of you as the presiding judge—well, I don't care about the corpse, but there are other evidences. where?"
Shen Tan touched the cold sweat on his forehead, and said embarrassingly: "Report to your lord, this case... This case is only evidenced by this oil-paper package, and no other evidence has been found."
"Ha...haha...It's a good oil paper bag as proof! Good one didn't find any other evidence!" Sun Shaozong laughed angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Let me ask you, except for the head, what is the rest of the corpse? Where was it found?"
"Yes... it was dug out of the wasteland outside the back wall of Butcher Hu's house."
"Then I'll ask you again, now that the weather is freezing cold, how could Butcher Hu dig a hole big enough to bury the body? Could it be that he has a pair of pangolin claws?!"
"This… "
Shen Dan said inexplicably: "Sir, if he wants to bury the body, he will naturally use a hoe and a shovel..."
Pa~!
Sun Shaozong slapped the table with a slap and said angrily, "Why can't there be any tools such as hoes and shovels in the lobby? Especially in the first month, these tools are unused, you just need to have them check. , there are no traces of recent use on it, which is enough to prove whether the body was buried by the butcher!"
"This... this this this... "
Shen Dan said 'this, this' for a while, but he was speechless, and finally he had to kneel down and grab the ground with his head, crying: "Sir, forgive me, Lord forgive me! There are seventy old mothers on the villain, There is…”
"Got it~ Stop talking about these useless things!"
Sun Shaozong waved his hand impatiently and said, "If you want to atone for your sins, hurry up and bring me back the corpse—remember to bring back all of it. If it is missing a star or a half, I will count the flesh on your body!"
