The third time, the case of the foolish son breaking the gourd (1)
While speaking, everyone was already clamoring to the Jiangzhou Deputy Chief Office with Zheng Yunming. The great man Zheng Yunming brought him over like a chicken: "I said you can write as you go! The Chief Officer is here. Now there is Qiu Zhen, the fifth general of the left camp of the strong brave army, and 517 officers and soldiers of the fifth general team. I beg the Chief Officer to punish him severely..."
"Don't be anxious," Zheng Yunming wrote in front of a case where the soldiers fought against him: "... and all the soldiers of the fifth general team were 517, who would punish?"
"Punish the bastard who assassinated our Commander Li! You continue to write: Master Qingtian, I, Qiu Zhen and my subordinates, both regarded Commander Li as their rebirth parents. I heard that you have caught the murderer, please give him to Lao Ren, so I will pull his head down as a urinary envoy! Commander Li has always been our good boss of the fifth general team, backbone, we will fight a battle without him? If the next time the Golden Dog is not, Mongolian Dog will come to fight the Jianghuai land again, don't blame the brothers for defeating the battle, and let your deputy commander lose your official position!"
"This guy actually knows how to threaten. He really underestimated this rough man..." Zheng Yunming thought a little more in his mind and wrote: "Even though Zhao was hurt by Lian Po, the Qin people were excited, the Han people lost Li Guang, and the Shanyu's forehead was headed. Since ancient times, thousands of troops were able to obtain good generals, and Zhen and others thought that they were all loyal and brave, and they were actually the treasure of a single army, but how could they die a small hand? Now the Tatars are in a strong aura, and they will lose their loyal ministers first. How can they correct people's hearts if they don't kill this disciple? The ministers in the governor are ten times more wise and brave than flying, so they should think about it carefully."
"I have said such a long paragraph, just write these few words. Well, come here, hurry up and hand it over to the birdman of the deputy governor!" Qiu Zhen gave an order, and a small school took the paper and handed it to the garrison garrison who was already in a cold sweat at the door. The sergeant seemed to have heard of Qiu Zhen's reputation for a long time, so he took the paper and hurriedly sent it to the yamen.
Qiu Zhen waited at the door with his hands angrily for a long time before he saw a young man who looked like a Confucian scholar walking out of the yamen. He held the paper in his hand and said, "Which gentleman is writing this paper? Can you come out and see me?"
Qiu Zhen looked up and down at the little scholar's eyes and shouted, "It's me who is the one who sued, you little scholar. Who is the one who came from? Where is Tong Li?"
"Ah?" The scholar looked at Qiu Zhen and shook his head and said, "I am not asking who the victim is. The victim's complaint paper has been written clearly. I am asking who the author is."
Zheng Yunming stepped forward and replied, "It's a student, haven't you asked Mr. Gao yet?"
The man replied, "Is the lower official aware of the writing skills of Anfeng Army, Du Shu, sir?"
"So you are the senior! My brother, Zheng Yunming, the consultant of the Jinghu Transport Department of Xiangyang Prefecture, greets you here!" Zheng Yunming never expected that he would meet someone he wanted to visit in such a scene.
Qiu Zhen was shocked. He didn't expect that he could catch a counselor on the street as a clerk. According to the laws and regulations of the Song Dynasty, his crime was very serious.
Du Shu was even more surprised and asked, "You are Zheng Yunming? Teacher Sun from the capital wrote a letter saying that when Mr. Zheng's son and I were studying under the same teacher, I really didn't believe it. When I saw him today, he was indeed handsome!"
"I am. I heard that the senior has been famous for a long time. Recently, I heard that you were seconded to Anqing Army to do business. I happened to pass by here when I went to post and came to pay my respects."
"How could it be related to these soldiers?"
Zheng Yunming pointed at Qiu Zhen who was standing aside with the folding fan in his hand and smiled and said, "Isn't this a scholar meeting a soldier?"
Du Shu also laughed and said, "Since the failure of the Northern Expedition, Li Dutong has gone to the front line of Guangzhou. Now there is the deputy commander Yang Hui and Yang in charge. You two follow me to meet, and the soldiers are waiting outside, so don't cause trouble."
Zheng and Qiu were led by Du Shu and walked towards the White Tiger Festival Hall. Zheng Yunming and Du Shu talked along the way, and only then did he know that since Duanping failed to enter Luo, the Mongols began to hoard food and weapons in Taiyuan and prepared to launch a full-scale attack on the Song Dynasty. Du Gao, the Zhi'anfeng Army, was a battlefield commander who had been on the battlefield for a long time. After the failure to enter Luo, he increased the number of fine works on the front line by triple. Recently, Du Gao noticed that the number of Mongols's rangers increased, and some cavalry infiltrated the rear of the front line of the Song State. Therefore, he specially sent his son to Du Shu, who wrote the words in his mansion, went to the major generals in the rear to discuss how the war and defense troops in various places would support each other if there was any change.
The two of them said that they had arrived at the White Tiger Festival Hall. The White Tiger Festival Hall was originally just a place used by the Privy Council to discuss matters. After the southbound transition, the title was chaotic. Many generals began to call the capital that they handled military affairs privately the White Tiger Festival Hall.
The deputy envoy sitting high above the capital hall was Yang Hui, the deputy envoy Yang. Even though he reached the high position of deputy commander of the army, he still lacked the prestige of the commander.
"I have read the letter of duty. This matter should have been handed over to the Criminal Prison Department. Now it is an extraordinary period, so the murderer is temporarily in the prison of the Criminal Department. Li Dutong is currently preparing for war on the front line of Guangzhou. He has to wait until he comes back from the front line before he can hear the lawsuit."
Qiu Zhen was furious and shouted, "When will you have to wait? Since you have caught the murderer, why not cut him off now!"
Deputy Envoy Yang also raised his voice: "How can a case of murder of human life be determined hastily? Even if it is determined that he is indeed the murderer of Commander Li, he must submit it to the Privy Council. After approval, it will be sentenced to a specific sentence before the execution will be investigated. It is not during the war now, so how can he be so careless?"
When Zheng Yunming saw that the two were about to clash, he quickly dissuaded: "Don't be angry, you should not be angry at first. Why not pre-trial the case now? If the evidence is conclusive, the deputy envoy also has the power to submit a letter to the Privy Council, which is worse than the past few months after Bai and the Dutong returned."
When Yang Hui saw Zheng Yunming's civilian uniforms, he said dissatisfiedly: "The capital is a military and national important place. How can people in public come in at will?"
Du Shu quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words in the ear of the deputy envoy.
When Yang Hui heard that it was the Prime Minister and the Young Master came, he then took a little bit of majesty and said, "Since the Prime Minister and Young Master need to be tried, please read the case first."
Du Shu picked up the file and sat down to Zheng Yunming, telling a bizarre case.
Four days ago, Wang De, the commander of Suzhou, came to the banquet. Anqing officials were welcomed by all officials, but Li, the commander of the local strong and brave army, suddenly disappeared during the banquet. The deputy commander of the Huaixi Chief Minister, sent people to search everywhere and found that Commander Li was dead in a ancestral hall two miles northwest of the city of the state, and his chest was pierced by a sharp blade.
Thousands of strong brave soldiers were just foreign troops in the Anqing army. The commander Wang Fu was reduced to the second level of military officers because of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Luo. Now he led the main force to camp elsewhere. Thousands of troops in Anqing became children raised by stepmothers. The soldiers were already restless day and night because of living in a foreign land. Another commander-level figure died at this moment. It is hard to guarantee that these brave men would not do anything out of the ordinary.
The Chief Minister decided to solve the case quickly, but just one day after conducting a carpet-style search near the crime scene, Wang Dezhi, who was a guest, took a few personal soldiers to escort a suspect to the yamen to surrender.
According to Wang De, his personal soldiers saw this man committing murder with their own eyes, and then quietly followed the man to find out where he stayed, and then reported to the chief and brought the man to the yamen to the court.
As the case file was attached with evidence presented to the court, the murderer used the murderer to kill his companion to a sharp knife and a wax pill, which contained a secret book written in small regular script in the fly head.
After all, Zheng Yunming is a rookie who has completely failed to understand criminal investigation. If Song Ci was here, he would probably see the flaws on the spot. However, Zheng Yunming pretended to look at it for a long time but could not see anything strange about this blood-stained knife. Even if he carefully pinched the handle, what's the use? He didn't even know how to use wax film to get fingerprints.
After reading the weapon, I read the secret letters, which were just ordinary military numbers, garrisons, defense maps, and daily intelligence letters. The border generals of the Song and Jin countries received dozens of letters every year, and there was no special doubt.
"It seems that there is nothing suspicious, um..." Zheng Yunming pondered for a while. He was not a reader who liked detective reasoning. In the real world, a murder case is often extremely simple and straightforward, and there are not so many murderers behind the scenes waiting to be revealed.
Qiu Zhen glared at his eyes and said, "Since there is no doubt, please drag this bird out and chop it up soon!"
Yang Hui also became annoyed, "It's not that easy. Since the murderer was arrested, he refused to admit all the charges. Even if he was punished, he would not let go. How can such a case without confession and only evidence pass the review of the Privy Council?"
"Stop it, slow," Zheng Yunming said slowly: "It's better to bring the murderer to the court now and listen to his words. If you have the right to listen to both sides, you will be open and trustworthy, and you will be secret. Please help me."
Du Shu also said: "Since he has been betraying this guy, he has been reluctant to tell the details. Why not just ask him here to see if this guy is really wronged."
Liu Hu could not resist the faces of the two civil servants and immediately ordered his personal soldiers to carry the murderer in prison to the court.
Soon, the personal soldiers came to the hall with a big man wearing shackles.
Zheng Yunming was shocked when he saw it: "It's you!"
Qin Wu was also surprised to see Zheng Yunming: "Why are the officials here too?"
"It's a long story, especially for your case..." Zheng Yunming unfolded his folding fan and shook it slightly, "After saying that, how could he be regarded as a suspect?"
"Hmph, needless to say, I offended that guy Wang De for the matter, and was framed by him and became a prisoner here."
"How much do you know about Commander Li's murder?"
"How could I know? When I was resting in the inn, Wang De led a man and broke in and tied it up to the government office. These people couldn't get me, but there was a girl who followed me, which was not convenient to walk, so they simply took her to make a fuss."
Yang Hui frowned as he heard that he wanted to escape from prison in the capital, and shouted: "Don't avoid the important things, this murderous weapon is something you carry with you! Tell me, it's not the one you killed, how can I explain this weapon? And this wax pill book, can it be obtained out of thin air?"
Qin Wu responded calmly: "I have told the adult that I lost this knife when I was in the inn. This wax pill book was obviously fabricated and framed by someone else. If the adult doesn't believe it, Qin would not have a stern explanation!"
Qiu Zhen shouted: "There are all evidence and physical evidence, this guy is just a quibble! The commander will give the order quickly, and I will take the initiative to kill his dog's head in person!"
Yang Hui could no longer bear it and slapped the table suddenly: "You Qiu Zhen knows everything! Believe it or not, Bendu Hall will kill you with a single order!"
Zheng Yunming quickly came to smooth things over: "Sir and General, let's take a break first. Let's call the personal soldiers of General Sun Zheng who saw the murderer with his own eyes, and what should he say?"
Yang Hui looked embarrassed: "That person is from the Huaidong Military Office. I'm afraid it's not that easy to find after a relationship."
"It's okay." Zheng Yunming said, "I asked my book Tong Xian'er to take something with the soldiers and keep Wang De obediently handing over the witness."
Of course, the imperially-given brocade belt was not something that could be disobeyed by a mere commander. In the early days, the officers and soldiers of the commander commander brought the personal soldiers who claimed to have seen Qin Wu killing with their own eyes.
When the man saw Qin Wu standing in the hall, he immediately threw himself down and started talking while crying.
