Chapter 198 In-laws(1/3)
Chang'an County Prison was dug several meters deep, with a large stone as its cover, and it is called the 'Tiger Prison'. The entire book?????????????????????????????????????
Although Xue Bai's teacher was once a county magistrate of Chang'an County, this was his first time to come to Chang'an County Prison. The big stone was slowly pushed away, revealing a downward staircase, with a very powerful aura.
Even Liu Jing shook his head when he saw it and said, "Yesterday, thousands of people in Chang'an were chasing your residence, so today I went to such a dungeon to explore people. Why bother? It's not a brother, so it's better not to get into this kind of trouble."
"It's okay, I've experienced a lot of prison disasters."
“Okay, please.”
Xue Bai walked into the dim prison and walked down the steps. A rotten smell came to his face, and the bottom of his feet was covered with dirty mud.
There were only two air windows on his head, and the torch could only shine a few steps ahead. When he arrived at the last cell, Xue Jia was curled up on the ground.
"I have been to jail, Jingzhao Prefecture, Dali Temple, and have never been punished like this."
Liu Jing said: "Forgive me, Xue Lang, although Xue Jia is young, she is extremely fierce. When the yamen runners arrested him, he injured two people and bites one person."
Hearing the movement outside the prison, Xue Zheng also woke up.
“Brother?”
With the sound of the iron chain moxa, he climbed to the prison door.
The boy is only thirteen years old. He was still small last year. He has eaten too much in the past year and is rushing fast, almost as tall as Du Wulang.
Xue Bai squatted down and shone the torch on his palm, and saw Xue Jian covered in scars.
He didn't ask and said to Liu Jing: "Can I ask me to talk to him alone?"
Xue Lang asked for advice.”
"Okay, tell me the truth." Xue Bai then asked, "Did you kill Xue Ling?"
Xue Fan was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, and after a while, he sobbed and cried, and nodded gently.
“What’s going on?”
"I. I killed him... Xue Zheng was still crying, but he forced himself to cry and said, "But he will not change his nature... He deserves to be killed!"
"What's going on?"
"Yesterday, he came to see Ah Niang and said that he wanted to reform himself and hoped to wait for her sister to get married, so he asked her to take us back to Changshoufang. Ah Niang was soft-hearted, so I had a fight with her... When I came out, I saw Xue Ling coming out of Sister's boudoir, with a bulging arms in my arms. I knew he had stole something again at a glance, so I chased her out. He did not return to Changshoufang, but left the Zhuque Gate. At that time, the evening drum was almost finished, so I followed her out...
Obviously, Xue Zheng was already panicked when he left Zhuque Gate. A thirteen-year-old boy arrived at the outskirts of the city at night, and panicked was inevitable.
Xue Bai asked: "Fengweilou sent a guy to stare at Xue Ling. Have you seen him?
"I didn't see it." Xue Jia shook his head, "I haven't seen it yet, but when he came, he felt like he had fallen and told his mother that someone was chasing him and he was thrown away."
"Who chases him?"
"I don't know, creditor."
“Continue.”
"I followed him a stick of incense and entered a village courtyard. A group of scoundrels were drinking and gambling in it, and they met him.
Hearing them, he planned to sell the house in Changshoufang to Hedong, but this time he didn't find the house contract at Ah Niang. He had to go out again next time, but he was not easy to come forward, so he asked someone to help him find a good buyer first.
"I've only said this? Did you ask where Xue Ling went before?"
"The only thing I heard was that. I was lying there and I was discovered. There were rogues around me behind me. I had never beaten them and were tied up."
Speaking of this, Xue Jia's breathing gradually became heavier.
"Then, I was caught. Xue Ling recognized me and took me to a room and said that I would follow him and take me to a wealthy life.

He took the dagger to stop me, I fought with him, snatched the dagger and stabbed him. At that time, I saw that he was covered in blood... I took his package and ran away, but just walked to the back door, blocked by the group of scoundrels and tied up in the woodshed. After dawn, the people from the government came."
Xue Bai asked: "The same thing you and the government said? Seeing that he was covered in blood, your first reaction was to run away with the package?"
"No, the government didn't ask about this."
“Is Xue Ling dead at that time?”
"It should be dead."
"Are you sure?"
Xue Zheng nodded and shook his head again.
Xue Bai asked about some details and got up and prepared to leave.
"Brother." Xue Fan called out, lowered his head and said, "I thought about saving him...
He wanted to speak but stopped. Xue Bai waited for a long time before he could continue talking.
I thought about saving him, but I thought that if he could die, it would be good for everyone... At worst, I went to the eighteenth level of hell, Xue Bai turned around and looked at him. Under the faint light of fire, I saw Xue Jian talking to the end, and his eyes were very cruel.
This kind of cruelty is not to Xue Ling, but to this young man is very bad to himself. He clearly knows how much sin it is to kill his father. Even the sin in his perception is much greater than the reality. He goes to the eighteen layers of hell to cut his nose and dig his heart and fry it, and he will never turn over.
Last night, the heavy rain, and the thunder fell, like heavenly punishment, and lightning illuminated Xue Ling's blood. The moment Xue Fan turned around, he was ready to accept all the consequences.
"knew."
Xue Bai didn't say much and was out of the county jail.
Chang'an County Magistrate Jia Jilin was already waiting outside the prison and said with a caress: "Xue Lang is here. Qingchen stepped down and didn't expect you and me to meet like this."
"I've seen the Ming Mansion." Xue Bai said, "I dare to ask if this case is the new county lieutenant?"
"Yes, what does Xue Lang mean?"
"There are still doubts in this case. Can I allow me and the county magistrate to have detailed votes?"
Vn
The new Chang'an County Magistrate is named Wang Zhixian, who is the younger brother of the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Zhihuan.
Wang Zhixian was fifty-four years old at the time, with a long beard and elegant manner, but his energy was obviously not as good as Yan Zhenqing. He felt that he was willing but not capable of dealing with various trivial matters in the county magistrate.
When he saw Xue Bai, the county magistrate asked the first question not about the case, but about the affairs of the official newspaper and the secretary.
Xue Bai patiently greeted him a few words before asking: "Can you test Xue Ling's body? Are you sure the dagger was fatal? "
"Yes." Although Wang Zhixian handled such a murder case for the first time, he handled it completely in accordance with the regulations, saying: "The work has been tested, and there is only one wound on the body of the deceased. The evidence of the person in this case is complete, so please understand Xue Lang."
"Can I allow me to inspect the household again?"
The Lord asked, "Why is this?"
"I just talk about a few possibilities." Xue Bai said: "Maybe it was those rogues who were greedy for Xue Ling's money and killed him and kept Xue Jia for guilt?"
"Oh. I know that the top scholar and Xue Zheng have a deep friendship, but this case is already very clear."
"I'm the one who makes a fuss." Xue Bai said inadvertently: "By the way, the prince is very talented and knowledgeable, can you be willing to go to the Secretariat to compile a book? I'm willing to introduce the left prime minister on his behalf."
The proofreader of the Secretariat is not of high rank and has no real power. But unfortunately, due to several major events in Chang'an City, the Secretariat happened to have become a real power yamen recently.
Wang Zhixian smiled bitterly and pondered, saying, "Xue Lang still can't trust me. I'm just like this, I want to test it out."
…..
Xue Bai lifted the linen and carefully checked Xue Ling's house body, and found that there was indeed only one wound.
The wound is below the right chest and should be inserted into the chest from bottom to top, but it is not cut open to see if it is not sure whether it has damaged the right lung.
"Look at the murder weapon."
"this."
It was a small dagger, and half of the dagger was stained with blood.
Xue Bai compared it, looked elsewhere, and observed Xue Ling's neck, hands, feet, mouth and nose.
Is there water in his nose?"
Liu Jing said: "It rained heavily last night. After being injured, he struggled to climb over the threshold and wanted to ask for help. He fell outside the door and died. The rain splashed into his mouth and nose."
"Someone saw him crawling out with his own eyes?"
"No, those scoundrels have run away. It rained too heavily last night, and no one in the village heard Xue Ling's call for help."
"Is that possible? Someone took advantage of Xue Ling's injury and suffocating him to death?"
Wang Zhixian had no choice but to say: "Let me make an autopsy again."
“Can you take me to the scene to see it?”
"good...
Xue Bai left the Chang'an County Government and was about to turn over the horse, but he saw a woman stumble towards him from afar.
He then strode forward with his horse and held her in a big way, "Is it injured?"
"I was stabbed twice and my skin was injured." Jiao Nulang glared at Xue Bai fiercely, looking very unhappy.
She must have been wet and dried again, and she looked very embarrassed, "I'll take you to the clinic first."
"I have applied a good Jinchuang medicine." Jiao Nu said: "I have something to say...
Xue Bai didn't care, but pushed her onto the horse and rode her away, then asked, "What's wrong?"
"I killed Xue Ling."
“What’s going on?”
