[The third update, uh, seems to have a 20% discount on Wan Geng. 】
It stands to reason that since it was a private banquet set up by Wang Ren, and Sun Shaozong was a passing military general, he had no right to interrogate local cases at all.
That's good, but how can it be raised to question the case
However, it turned out that when the banquet was in full swing, a servant of the palace suddenly reported that there was an old couple kneeling in front of the palace and shouting grievances.
When Wang Ren heard this, he felt very disappointed.
Just as he was instructing his servants to disperse the couple, Sun Shaozong hurriedly used an official tone for the sake of reputation, saying that he belonged to a passing official and could not interfere in local cases.
And if the couple really had any serious grievances, they might as well go to the Jiangning or Jinling government offices to file a complaint.
Unexpectedly, the villain who reported this heard this, but said with a bitter face: "The villain also told them this before, but they said that this case, unless the adults came out in person, couldn't find out, and said …”
"What else?"
"It is said that the person who died violently is really the niece of Master Sun!"
After Sun Shaozong heard this, he felt that the couple was both absurd and annoying - Jia Yingchun added a 'nephew' to him last year, but why did he ever have a niece
At this moment, Sun Shaoxu's complexion suddenly changed, gloomy and almost dripping with water.
Sun Shaozong's heart moved, and he secretly thought that it was a certain niece from Nanzong's side, what went wrong
Sure enough, after just a little probing with words, Sun Shaoxu poured out beans in a bamboo tube and explained the cause and effect.
This has to be talked about half a year ago.
However, it was said that the eldest daughter of the second house of Nanzong married the eldest son of the Liu family, a gentry in Jinling City, a few years ago. Since both of them are the second official family of the scholarly family, they were originally well-matched and beautiful.
Who would have thought that the daughter of the Sun family had been married for five years and still failed to have a son and a half daughter.
At this moment, a maid who had been slept by Liu Gongzi several times suddenly became pregnant.
The Liu family was ecstatic, but the Sun family insisted that the child in the maid's belly was an evil seed that was stolen from others. In the end, she forced the maid to commit suicide by jumping into the well, resulting in one corpse and two lives.
The Liu family was naturally indignant about this, and the husband and wife became estranged because of this, and they would have a fight every now and then.
Compared with the Liu family, the Sun family is more powerful than the Liu family, but in the end it is because the Sun family doesn't take care of it, so they don't have the embarrassment to stand up for their daughter.
Originally, I hoped that it would take a long time to smooth the estrangement between the two. If there is no child at that time, it would be a big deal for Sun to come forward and help Liu Gongzi take two concubines.
Who would have thought that just two months ago, the Sun family suddenly died unexpectedly!
At the beginning, Young Master Liu was still trying to cover up the truth, so the Sun family's seven brothers and eight tigers knocked on the door, only to reveal that the Sun family was first annihilated and then killed.
Later, the county government made an investigation and confirmed that before and after the incident, only Liu Gongzi was in the main room in the backyard, and he was very drunk. Therefore, he judged that Liu Gongzi had a dispute with his wife after drinking, and killed Sun in anger. 's.
Young Master Liu tried to deny it at first, but after being tortured, he admitted that he was so drunk that he didn't remember what he had done.
So the case came to a conclusion, and Young Master Liu was sentenced to be beheaded.
However, Young Master Liu's parents refused to let it go, and they kept complaining about their injustice, saying that their son was a scapegoat for the real murderer.
Hearing this, Sun Shaozong couldn't help asking, "What evidence do they have for their son's injustice?"
"This… "
Sun Shaoxu hesitated for a while, but still told the truth: "According to what Liu Changfeng said, the second sister's husband and wife have eased a lot at that time, and the servants of his family also said the same - but the little beast was very drunk at the time. Maybe I remembered the resentment at the beginning, so I accidentally killed the second sister."
In other words, the Liu family did not have any conclusive evidence to clear Young Master Liu's name.
There is no means to test DNA right now, and Sun has been dead for two months. According to the current weather, the corpse is probably already rotten...
In short, if you want to find out this case, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort.
As for myself passing through Jinling this time, although I had already decided that I would spend two or three days in Nanzong Pan Heng, it was impossible to delay it for too long.
While hesitating in his heart, Wang Ren, who had just shouted to drive away Liu Changfeng and his wife, even said that since this case involved the younger generation of the Sun family, it was natural to get to the bottom of it.
Just based on this guy's face, he knew that he just wanted to have fun.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong ignored him at all, but solemnly asked Sun Shaoxu, "I don't know what the third brother thinks?"
If Nanzong's side had already determined that Young Master Liu was the murderer, and Sun Shaozong would make a fuss to find out what happened, he would really not be a person inside or outside.
Sun Shaoxu was in a dilemma for a long time, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "If the thirteenth brother can thoroughly investigate this case, it would be great. It's a case committed by someone else, so that the second sister will be remorseful!"
tsk~
Since Sun Shaoxu said so, I'm afraid he can only try his best to find out the truth.
Sun Shaozong made up his mind. Originally, he wanted to take Liu Changfeng and his wife to the county government to ask Li Zhixian to retry the case, and then he would come as a non-voting observer as a family member of the deceased.
Unexpectedly, Wang Ren refused to let him go, and ordered someone to invite Li Zhixian, together with the clerks and officers, to his house, and let Sun Shaozong ask the truth on the spot.
To put it bluntly, this fellow is too lazy to move.
Since Wang Ren took the initiative to take over this errand, Sun Shaozong did not deliberately refuse, so he had to ask the case in the hall.
To say that the Wang family is in this Jinling City, it really has to be the wind and the rain!
In just half an hour, the person who should handle the case, the physical evidence, witnesses, files, and the criminal Liu Yiqing himself were basically gathered in the front hall of the palace.
The leader was naturally Li Mou, the magistrate of Jiangning.
After this Li Zhixian entered the door, he saw that Sun Shaozong and others were still sitting around the dining table, and they didn't even dare to come forward to greet him, so they stood silently beside the housekeeper with their heads bowed.
Wang Ren was even more lazy to look at him, and asked how many people were not there, so he greeted Sun Shaozong to drink and eat.
Although Sun Shaozong is not as big as Wang Ren, but with his current position, facing a small seventh-rank county magistrate, he will not make any compromises.
Therefore, he just turned his body slightly, facing Li Zhixian, and asked in an official tone: "Does your county know that Wang Yanei and this official invited you to come here, what is it for?"
"Know, know!"
Then Li Zhixian hurriedly took a few steps forward, bowed down and smiled and said, "The judgement of the case is not strict, and there are many omissions. I would like to ask Shangguan to give me some advice."
Saying that, he took the file from the master and held it in front of Sun Shaozong: "This is the file of the murder of Mrs. Sun, please take a look at it."
Sun Shaozong did not rush to take it in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Originally, this officer should not have been involved in your Jiangning County case, but the victim is a junior in this officer's family, and there seems to be something unclear about the case..."
"Underlying duty understands, humbleness understands!"
Then Li Zhixian hurriedly said: "Actually, I also feel that this case seems to be inappropriate. I heard that Shangguan happened to be crossing the border, so I thought of asking you to make a clear decision, and also ask Shangguan not to refuse."
"Well, that being the case, I'll overstep it once."
Sun Shaozong sighed, and then took the dossier in his hands—although it is common sense to be involved in this case as a bitter master, it is always good to have more insurance.
After scanning the dossier, I found that Li Mu asked about the case in detail. At least what happened before and after the incident was recorded in great detail.
The incident happened on the seventh day of June, a drizzly evening.
The two maids of Liu Mansion, Shu Xuan and Mu Qin, went to the main hall in the backyard together because they had something to report to the Sun family.
As a result, no trace of Sun's was found. The two were waiting to look elsewhere. Liu Yiqing, who was out for a banquet, returned home drunk.
After the two maids helped Liu Yiqing into the bedroom to rest, thinking of Xia Yi who committed suicide by throwing herself into the well not long ago, they hurriedly left the main room.
After that, the two searched for another quarter of an hour in the backyard, but they still failed to meet Sun.
Because they were worried that no one would take care of Liu Yiqing, and they would make trouble again, the two hurried back to the main room.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the bedroom, he found that Mr. Sun was naked, tied to the screen with a few silk scarves, and there were several hideous wounds on his chest, and blood was running all over the floor.
At that time, the two screamed desperately, and then woke up Liu Yiqing who was holding the candlestick.
After that, Zuo Zuo found traces of intercourse in Sun's private parts, as well as the solidified Mi Qing liquid, and determined that the wound on his chest was caused by the candlestick.
Seeing this, it seems that the evidence is already conclusive.
But there are still many doubts in this case.
First of all, on Liu Yiqing's body, except for some blood on the hand holding the candlestick, no blood was found on the rest of the body.
Secondly, some skin debris was found in Sun's fingers, but Liu Yiqing did not have any wounds.
Third, it is the relationship between the husband and wife.
According to the servants in the house, the two couples had settled their suspicions as early as half a month ago. It is said that the opportunity for reconciliation was because the Sun family bought an authentic work of Yan Zhenqing through her parents’ family, and promised to help Liu Yi before the end of the year. Qing Na concubine.
well!
It's a pity that more than two months have passed. Otherwise, if you investigate the scene in person, you should be able to solve many doubts, or find more doubts.
now...
You can only read the dossier several times first, and then learn about the situation from the parties.
