Chapter 2013 Simple Solving the Case(1/2)
After Zhao Han read the eucalyptus scroll, he returned home feeling angry.
A group of sisters invited him over to eat watermelon again.
It is said that it was a watermelon in a greenhouse, which was also Jia Baoyu's casual suggestion.
In fact, it is very simple. In the Western Han Dynasty, watermelons were grown in winter using hot spring water.
There is glass these days, but it is destined to be very expensive. It is impossible to build a greenhouse, but you can use thick paper and straw to keep it warm.
The windows were only opened during the hottest time at noon, and then coal was burned for heating.
In this way, there is watermelon to eat in winter, and it adds a lot of income to the Jia Mansion, so Wang Xifeng does not have to worry about household expenses.
In fact, he was not really bankrupt until his home was ransacked.
While eating watermelon, Zhao Han told the sisters about this eucalyptus.
When the sisters heard this, they were all filled with indignation.
The reason why all the women in Dream of Red Mansions draw sympathy is because when the author created them, except for Wang Xifeng, the other women basically had no black spots and had never done evil... This is very important.
Just like Lin Daiyu, the only black spot is probably the ridicule of Grandma Liu as a female locust.
That was because he saw that Qiu Feng had beaten the opponent too much, so he casually said, Lin Daiyu is not a saint, how can she not make any mistakes?
Besides, in other words, I didn’t target Grandma Liu, let alone ask Wang Xifeng to drive her out.
Xue Baochai also has very few black spots. At most, he is a bit scheming, but he has never done any evil.
Not to mention Yuanyang, Xiren, Qingwen and so on.
"I didn't expect that in broad daylight, the wife of the deceased would not be the brother of the Son of Man. She is really miserable." Tan Chun sighed.
"Brother Ai, you have to arrest this bad guy, this hateful bad guy." Shi Xiangyun said, waving his fist.
Lin Daiyu said sadly: "The nature is clean and it comes and goes. No white hair is allowed to be seen in the world."
Zhao Han was speechless. Sister Lin was indeed a tear jar, and everything could cause sadness.
If I had known earlier, I would have said something fun.
She has been through so many worlds, and although she still has an innocent heart, she is just like Detective Conan, she is not surprised and can bear it.
"Of course, but I think it's not easy to catch this person. If I have to go there and count on those gentlemen, it's basically hopeless." He said.
"Come on, Brother Ai, let me give you a piece of watermelon to eat. I wish you immediate success." Shi Xiangyun picked up the watermelon and handed it to Jia Baoyu, cheering him up.
"It seems that for Sister Yun's piece of melon, I will definitely bring the real murderer to justice."
"When the time comes, there will be legends among the people again: Yong Xiangyun offers watermelon in winter, Jia Erye wisely kills the headless eucalyptus." Xue Baochai said with a smile.
She has a cold temperament. Lin Daiyu will feel sad for the victims, but she can endure it.
Because she has seen a lot.
After all, it is a businessman's house, and many bankrupt houses come and go.
You cannot be a businessman if you are soft-hearted.
If you are soft-hearted, then you will be punished by death.
Zhao Han smiled.
The opponent she faces is much simpler than Jia Rong and Jia Lian.
But when it comes to the heart, it is even more sinister and despicable.
Their methods are shameless enough.
They never care about reputation, and they hide around everyone.
They only care about whether they can get money and land. For this reason, they can betray or kill their relatives.
Anyone's life will turn into a tragedy if they meet these people.
…………
Early the next morning, Zhao Han took his loyal dogleg Mingyan, Li Gui, and a group of servants to get the notice board from the Ministry of Punishment, and brought a scribe from the Ministry of Punishment as a recorder and assistant.
Then we took a carriage and went to Daxing County where the eucalyptus was discovered.
Other heads of the Criminal Department are not so troublesome.
They directly issued a ticket and asked the magistrates to solidify the evidence and hand it over.
No one will work hard to help these people clean up their affairs.
Of course, there were times when injustices were brought out. The Manchu Qing Dynasty's approach to dealing with cases of injustice was to directly dismiss the officials who were involved in the trial and assign them to other positions. The punishment was very severe.
But because of this, it is extremely difficult to get over the situation.
Usually, due to the competition between the two parties, some projects are lucky enough to see the light of day.
After all, two parties are facing each other, which means they are evenly matched. At this time, injustice becomes a useful tool.
Once one party obtains this tool, it will naturally be easier to defeat the other party.
After all, there is basically no ironclad evidence for the injustices committed in the feudal era. As long as someone has the patience to investigate according to a normal person's thinking model, there is a 70% chance of finding out the truth and turning the truth around.
When Zhao Han arrived in Daxing County, the county magistrate personally went out of the city to greet him.
At this moment, the Jia Mansion is still very prestigious.
At this time, Wang Xifeng could kill someone with just a few letters.
She can mobilize bureaucrats at the county magistrate and prefect level.
Let alone Jia Baoyu.
He is definitely not comparable to Wang Xifeng, the housekeeper of the house.
He is a direct descendant of the Jia family, and he was born as a Jinshi under the age of twenty. He is also survived by Concubine Yuan, and his power exceeds that of Wang Xifeng by an unknown amount.
The county magistrate welcomed Zhao Han into the lobby. After having tea, Zhao Han went to the court to ask questions.
The county magistrate was with him, and he didn't care whether anything was in line with the imperial code. The official level was the code of conduct.
Soon, all the people in the execution room, the household room, and the yamen related to the case were called to the hall.
Zhao Han then said: "Where is the wife of the deceased?"
When the county magistrate heard this, he immediately understood.
The old magistrate, who was in his fifties, breathed a sigh of relief.
He understood what Shangguan meant.
Zhao Han did not say whore, nor where the criminal was, but the victim's wife.
It is obvious that the other party prefers that the deceased's wife is innocent.
Thinking of this, the magistrate quickly stood up and replied: "Reporting to Shangguan, the county considered that the suspect was a woman, so she was placed in Li Zheng's home, under the care of Li Zheng's wife and several maids."
Zhao Han nodded in approval: "Yes, Mr. Liu is kind-hearted. No wonder when I entered the city, everyone praised me."
When Magistrate Liu heard this, he was overjoyed.
It's natural for everyone to praise him. He was the squire who was specially called. He was standing nearby. Would anyone scold him?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But since the Shangguan approves, then he is a good official who wins the hearts of the people.
"I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it, I am old and stupid, I can't tell the truth from the lies, I can only do things with a little conscience." County Magistrate Liu hurriedly bowed.
Why did Zhao Han praise County Magistrate Liu?
Because if the county magistrate says that the female prisoner is in prison, the wife of the deceased will die if she gets out, even if she is innocent.
You must know that these days, there are no good people in the government. There are few female prisoners in the prison who will not be brutally attacked.
Even if she was not murdered, others would only say that this woman had been in prison.
Okay, you, a woman, will never be able to hold your head high for the rest of your life.
The only way to prove innocence is to commit suicide.
This is the sinister center of the deceased brothers. Feudal ethics force people to death, and this is not the end of the story.
If you move a stool, someone will die. It means that if a woman moves a stool to a strange man, she will be accused of adultery and then hang herself...
It's so cruel.
But it's different in modern times. Even if you kiss in person, it can also be said to be due to etiquette. You can go through it as you should, and no one cares at all.
When I heard this, I thought it was still something sinister. It was still something sinister.
Not long after, the government officials came to the hall with two women and a young woman supporting them in the middle.
The mother-in-law and the young woman knelt down at the same time.
"Mr. Zhang Jia, a folk girl, has met your Excellency."
Zhao Han glanced at the young woman and found that her fingers were intact, her figure was normal, and there were no scars on her body.
How could the magistrate get a confession from the other party about the murder if there were no injuries?
To be continued...
