Li Yuanfang's expression softened, and then he told Zhou Yu about the situation where he and Di Renjie went to see Mr. Zeng, the magistrate of Huzhou, to try the case.

"Oh? A body was found in the backyard of villager Zhang Chun, but he refused to admit that he killed the person. In this case, I'm afraid there is something ulterior. Mr. Zeng didn't force him to confess, so he wasn't a human being.

A confused official who has lost his mind in reading," Zhou You commented after hearing this.

Li Yuanfang couldn't help but ask after hearing this: "So, do you think that Zhang Chun didn't actually kill anyone?"

"If I find lost stolen property in the room where you live, must it be stolen by you?" Zhou You asked rhetorically and then said: "Similarly, the body found in the backyard of Zhang Chun's house must be Zhang Chun's."

Did Haru kill him?"

"This..." Li Yuanfang was speechless, while Zhou You continued: "Everything depends on evidence, but many times, some incompetent officials cannot find conclusive evidence, so they will use so-called seemingly logical facts to directly

This is one of the reasons for many unjust, false and wrongful convictions. They believe too much in their own subjective assumptions and often fail to see the real truth."

Di Renjie on the side couldn't help but nod after hearing this: "Yes! The body was found in the backyard of Zhang Chun's house. Although there is no other supporting evidence, an ordinary court official can conclude the case."

"Generally speaking, scholars always think that they know more than ordinary people and are superior to others, so they take it too much for granted. After all, not every official can investigate the details and be good at solving cases like adults. Therefore, there are many confused officials and

He's a mediocre official. On the surface, the Master is full of poems and articles, but it's just a bunch of flowers and brocades, which are useless. After all, there are still only a handful of people who are really capable of serving as officials!" Zhou You couldn't help but add.

"Although Zhou You's statement is biased, it is also true." Di Renjie couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "Usually, scholars who were born as Jinshi were sent to county magistrates, officials of the seventh rank, and the honor of a county. They first became officials.

, there are indeed only a few people who can really govern one party well."

"Then it depends on what you mean, are you quite satisfied with this Master Zeng?" Li Yuanfang also nodded slightly and asked immediately after hearing this.

Di Renjie nodded and continued: "This Zeng Tai has never resorted to severe punishment from the beginning to the end to force Zhang Chun to confess. This is easy to say, but not so easy to do. Facing those criminals who have endured punishment and refused to confess, we must

You have to suppress your anger so that you can keep a clear mind. Once you are angered by the prisoner, your judgment will be biased. Based on this alone, this Zeng Tai is still a sensible person."

"After hearing what you said, I'm a little interested in this Master Zeng. He should still be in court for trial tomorrow, right? I wonder how he will continue to come to trial?" Zhou You said with a smile.

"Haha, we'll find out tomorrow," Di Renjie also smiled and said, "Okay, it's been a busy day. Zhou You, Yuan Fang, you all go and have a rest!"

..Early the next morning, after getting up and washing up, I simply ate some breakfast and went to the outside of the county government hall with Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang.

However, today's court hearing really surprised everyone because Zhang Chun, who refused to admit it yesterday, simply admitted that he committed murder today.

While the people watching outside the court were talking a lot, Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.

When Zeng Tai, who was equally surprised, continued to ask, Zhang Chun said that he killed someone because of the money. But then Zeng Tai asked him why he knew that the guest from Chang'an had silver in his bag, and Zhang Chun was obviously stunned.

Next, he said that he opened the package while the man was asleep and found the silver coins inside.

But when Zeng Tai asked what other things were in the package, Zhang Chun was startled again, and then said that he didn't see anything else clearly in his hurry.

"Do you only have money in your eyes?" Zhou You, who was laughing dumbly, couldn't help but said meaningfully: "This case is really interesting!"

Zeng Tai could naturally tell that there was something fishy in this answer that was full of mistakes, so he did not rush to have Zhang Chunhua plead guilty. Instead, he had Zhang Chun imprisoned first and prepared to go back and conduct a detailed investigation.

"It seems that this Zeng Tai is indeed a good official," Zhou You couldn't help but said as he watched Zhang Chun being taken away. Li Yuanfang on the side also nodded after hearing this. Only Di Renjie stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes, smiling without saying a word.

Next, another murder suspect, boatman Wang Wugang, was brought to the lobby. He knelt down and directly admitted that he had committed the murder, before Zeng Tai even asked.

"Hey, this case is getting more and more interesting," Zhou You smiled after hearing this: "I remember, last night when we were at the restaurant, we seemed to be listening to this bastard crying out for injustice on the street, right? Isn't this like spending time in jail?

One night, two murder suspects simply confessed. Could it be that there is a statue of Guanyin Buddha in this prison? Can it make people realize the truth and turn back? Or is there an eminent monk waiting in the prison to enlighten them? "

"Don't be joking and talking nonsense here," Di Renjie scolded with a smile, and Li Yuanfang on the side also shook her head as if laughing.

The people who were watching were also talking a lot. Some even laughed and asked if the two brothers who just came to court had agreed in private. This time, they both confessed directly and uncharacteristically.

When Zeng Tai asked Wang Wu the name of the customer who hired the boat and where he was from, Wang Wu said that the man's surname was Wu and that he was from Chang'an. This really surprised Zeng Tai, because Zhang Chun found it in the backyard.

The corpse was also from Chang'an and also had the surname Wu.

"Two guests surnamed Wu from Chang'an also came to Huzhou, but were killed one after another. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?" Zhou You listened and asked.

"This case is indeed somewhat intriguing," Di Renjie also nodded slightly.

At this point in the trial, the case was somewhat anticlimactic, and there was no need to continue the trial, so Zeng Tai immediately announced his withdrawal from the trial.

After leaving the county government office, Zhou You couldn't help but said: "Sir, tell me, these two Chang'an people with the surname Wu came all the way to Huzhou. They couldn't come to Huzhou just to find relatives and friends. What should they do in Huzhou?"

Is there something important? Could it be for the same thing?"

"This possibility exists," Di Renjie nodded slightly: "If two people need to come by water and land separately for the same thing, then this matter must be very important and relatively secretive. Just in case, we

I have made two preparations.”

"Sir, tell me, what they did has something to do with the inner guards? Is it possible that they are the inner guards?" Li Yuanfang also whispered.

"If this is the case, then their destination may be Liujiazhuang," Zhou You continued: "After all, the matters that the inner guards are concerned about must have something to do with the imperial court. And those two people are from Chang'an, so they may not be ordinary people. Judging from them

Judging from the fact that he brought a lot of money, he is at least from a wealthy family, so he must not be looking for ordinary people when he comes to Huzhou."

"People from Chang'an...Liujiazhuang...officials who set up official positions..." Di Renjie muttered to himself with frowning eyebrows, and then continued: "It seems that if we want to clarify these questions, we have to start from those two
