Chapter 64: Collecting Evidence
Li Xiuran's face suddenly changed slightly. Unexpectedly, he had retired. Guan Chenghe would still attack Xiu'e and wanted to be imprisoned.
But what he said was irrefutable. Sun Pei was imprisoned before he was convicted. As the culprit of destroying Zhao Kang's family, it is reasonable to temporarily detain Xiu'e.
Lin Yanjiang couldn't even speak up to protect her.
Yang Wenxin and Chi Qingwan also frowned, and a little anxiety and anxiety flashed in their eyes.
On the contrary, Xiu'e didn't care and persuaded several people: "As long as she can avenge her parents, Xiu'e will not be afraid of death, let alone a mere prison. She will go there, so there are no need to worry about the adults."
"I can only make you feel wronged for a moment." Li Xiuran said helplessly.
Liu Daoyun nodded slightly: "Shangshu Guan's words are reasonable, so let's put Shen Xiu'e in jail to await trial."
Guan Chenghe looked at Lin Yanjiang, as if he had counterattacked his previous performance, and a curve slightly curled up on the corner of his mouth.
Then he glanced at Li Xiuran coldly, and felt very unhappy about the little side guard who suddenly disturbed the scene today. He snorted coldly and left with a sleeve.
After all, he is a second-rank official. He is a little too timid when he is a little bit too young... Li Xiuran complained, and saw Xiu'e being taken away by the yamen runners, and walked quickly towards Lin Yanjiang:
"Sir, Xiu'e is taken into custody. Safety must be taken. If someone is in a hurry, she may be in danger."
Lin Yanjiang nodded slightly: "You have to be careful about this. Don't worry, I will send someone to remind you to take strict care of the prison."
"Then I'll be relieved." Li Xiuran smiled.
Lin Yanjiang glanced at him: "This time, Your Majesty did not ask the Three Divisions to investigate, but instead just clicked on you. It can be seen that Your Majesty recognizes your abilities very much.
This is an opportunity. You must seize it and carefully investigate the crimes listed in the Book of People to satisfy Your Majesty. You will benefit you in the future."
Li Xiuran said seriously: "Don't worry, sir, I will."
Lin Yanjiang nodded slightly: "The trial will be retrial in three days. If there is not enough time, I won't keep you anymore. Go and come back soon."
"Yes." Li Xiuran bowed.
"Si Li is nothing, I'll go with you anyway." Chi Qingwan came over and was eager to try.
"If someone is really anxious to jump over the wall, your trip will probably be even more dangerous. I'll go with you too, so I can take care of you on the way." Yang Wenxin hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but speak.
Are you afraid that I am in danger? You are afraid that you want to join in the fun... Li Xiuran looked at him and said happily: "It just so scarcely, so sir and Qingwan are willing to go with me, so I can't ask for it.
Without further ado, let's go now."
...
Somewhere in the capital.
In a secret room.
A tall figure sat cross-legged on the ground, closing his eyes to adjust his breathing. The door suddenly opened and a burly figure walked in.
The tall figure opened his eyes and glanced at the visitor, and said lightly: "Why are you here?"
"The female ghost was not killed, and she came to the capital and sued the emperor. Now even the emperor knows her existence and ordered the Three Divisions to review it. Is this what you said perfectly?" The visitor said in a deep voice, and his tone seemed a little angry.
"Are you still alive? You have sued the capital... You can't let her speak randomly. I will arrange someone to solve this problem, you don't have to worry."
The tall figure looked slightly cold, and after saying that, he looked at the person who came and said, "How are you doing?"
"Everything is ready, I'm not as rough as you do things." The visitor was full of confidence and a sarcasm showed.
After being repeatedly distorted, the tall figure's face turned completely cold: "It's best to do this, follow the plan. I hope you can do things as you said. If there is a mistake, no one can save you."
"You don't need to remind me." The visitor snorted coldly and left with his sleeves.
The tall figure looked at his back, his eyes cold.
...
Gaoling County.
After leaving the house, Li Xiuran and Yang Wenxin and Chi Qingwan rushed over again without stopping. The same persons who were traveling there were Qian Zhuang who wanted to return after leaving the house for the certificate.
To collect evidence, we must first find the victim. As a local, Qian Zhuang knew the most. On the way he came, Li Xiuran learned about the situation from him, and under his leadership, he went directly to the first victim's house.
"Three sirs, this is Ma Shun's family."
Qian Zhuang pointed to the dilapidated house in front of him and said to Li Xiuran and the other two: "He is also a pitiful person. He was originally from a pretty good family and lived in three large tiled houses, which is much better than here.
But he was not lucky and lived next to a thug. When the thug heard that the county magistrate was so beautiful, he directly gave his sister to him as a concubine, and used this to climb up to Sun Pei's high branches. He also became arrogant and domineering. He felt that his family was small and wanted to expand, so he gave him two taels of silver, so he snatched his family.
Ma Shun was dissatisfied and went to the yamen to complain. Sun Pei protected him. Not only did he not win, but he was beaten up and moved here to live.
Please ask him for specific adults yourself, I'll call him out."
The courtyard gate was open, Qian Zhuang walked in as he said, "Ma Shun, Ma Shun? Are you at home?"
"Who?"
A voice came from the room. A middle-aged man who was thin and short, with a little bad legs and feet, limped out, looked at Qian Zhuang, and then looked at Li Xiuran and the other two behind him, with a little confused and vigilant look:
"Qian Zhuang? Are you asking me for something?"
"It's not me looking for you, it's these three adults who want to look for you."
Qian Zhuang smiled and pointed at Li Xiuran and the other two: "Didn't you always want to take back the house that was occupied by Hou San, sue Sun Pei, and seek justice for yourself?
These three adults are here to investigate Sun Pei. If you have any grievances, you can tell them to the three adults."
Ma Shun said suspiciously: "Hasn't Sun Pei been arrested? What else should I investigate?"
"Catching him does not mean conviction. If you want to deal with him, you must have evidence. If there is no evidence to convict him, he might come back one day." Seeing that he was quite vigilant, Chi Qingwan deliberately scared him.
Ma Shun's face changed immediately and said anxiously: "Can he come back? Is there any reason for it? Is there no one who can do anything like him?"
Li Xiuran took the opportunity and said, "That's why you need to cooperate with our investigation. As long as you find evidence, no one can protect him."
Ma Shun said without saying a word: "I must cooperate. What do you want me to do?"
Li Xiuran smiled and said, "Just tell me in detail about your experience. How Hou San occupied your house and how Sun Pei favored him? Have you never thought about avenging yourself again?"
"Why didn't I think I wanted to go to the capital to complain, but Hou San was always on guard against me. The guards at the gate were all ready to be managed. When he saw me leaving the city, he would stop me. Then he told Hou San to beat me up and scold me. My leg was discounted by him."
When Ma Shun remembered it, he looked frustrated and told Li Xiuran the whole story.
Chi Qingwan's face turned pale when she heard this: "It seems that besides Sun Pei, there should be someone else who should be killed."
Li Xiuran said: "Do you have evidence to prove your injustice?"
Ma Shun immediately said, "Of course there is, the deeds of my house are in my hands."
“That’s enough.”
