Chapter 313: The Fourth Room of Boling

However, Cui Geng did not reveal the answer for the first time, but played a trick to get away with it, shook his head lightly and said: "This... This official really can't judge! ”

"Can't tell?"

Cui Chenggou is happy, they have lost two games in a row, and now they can get one back, which can be regarded as raising their eyebrows.

Cui Chenggou couldn't help laughing, "What does that Erlang mean...... This third question, admitting defeat? ”

"Whatever, I'll admit defeat!"

Cui Geng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Brother Chengwei again this time." The official just said that he couldn't judge it, but he wanted to talk about the wound of the pig in front of him, and it was okay to say that it was caused by his life, and it was not impossible to say that it was caused after death! ”

"Hmph, nonsense!"

Cui Chenggou snorted lightly, "Tell you, Cui Erlang, the wounds caused by these two cases are completely different, and there are only ......."

Cui Geng smiled and interrupted, "Are you trying to say that only injuries caused after death can be shaped like this?" Hehe, you only know one thing, you don't know the other, it seems that you still haven't learned the ability to punish the name! ”

Well?

Cui Chenggou's heart stumbled, Cui Geng actually saw that the pig's wound was deliberately caused after death?

He listened to Cui Geng not only tell the truth, but also ridiculed himself with his feet, and the smug smile on his face just now instantly disappeared.

He frowned and said, "What do you only know one and don't know the other?" What do you mean by that? ”

Cui Geng analyzed: "The basis for your judgment should be that the knife wound suffered by Dan Fan before his death was oozing out of blood, so the wound was red, and there would be blood flowers." If it was a deliberate knife wound after death, because the blood of the pig's corpse had coagulated early, the wound was white, and there was no blood. Right? ”

"Isn't that right?" Choi Seung-gu questioned.

Cui Geng waved his hand, "Of course not." Come, this official will teach you a good ......."

Subsequently, he ordered someone to take a live pig over, first tied it up with five flowers, and then ordered Feng Changqing to hold a quick knife and stab it hard.

Immediately afterward, he asked people to drench the wound with boiling water for the first time.

In an instant, a miracle happened!

The color of the wound suffered by the fat pig is white, and the shape of the wound deliberately suffered after death is exactly the same!

The most important thing is that the fat pig is still alive at this time, struggling, how to explain it?

Cui Chenggou also studied the name of the criminal sentence, so he naturally knew the stakes. If you follow the basis you just said, you will even misjudge the case because of this, and finally let the innocent be wronged and let the real culprit go unpunished.

For a while, he put away the unruly look just now, and suddenly showed shame, bowed respectfully to Cui Geng, and said sincerely: "Erlang really deserves the reputation of 'Lingnan Cui Qingtian', the way of criminal fame far surpasses my generation, he has a wide range of knowledge, and he has been taught!" This question...... A certain family conceded defeat. However, can Jiro tell me, how did you come up with this idea? ”

This method of identifying the time of injury was widely spread in the Song Dynasty and recorded in Song Ci's "Record of Clearing Grievances".

In the wild history of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is recorded that at that time, someone used boiling water to burn the wound, exploited the loophole of judgment, and killed his enemy.

Now that "Clearing Grievances" has been released a whole dynasty, Cui Geng can only say that when he was an official in Lingnan Road, he encountered a similar case at the right time, and accidentally saw through the joints.

After shirking, he smiled and said, "It's not strange that Brother Chengwu doesn't know such a cold method, don't forget, when I was the lieutenant of Qingyuan County, I would always encounter strange cases every once in a while." If you have solved many cases, you will always have your own experience and experience. As the saying goes, practice makes true knowledge! ”

"Practice makes sense? What a brilliant statement! ”

Cui Chenggou was even more ashamed after hearing this, "Sure enough, a certain family still stays on books and case files, and lacks the experience of personally participating in solving criminal cases." What a frog at the bottom of the well. Erlang, there is a reluctant request from a certain family, and I hope you ......"

Yes, seeing that this Cui Chenggou is also going to follow the trend and has a tendency to apprentice, Cui Geng hurriedly interrupted: "Okay, it's the official's turn to ask the question!" ”

Immediately, he crackled and said his subject.

It's not so much a question as he tells a story.

He said that he had a pair of good friends, Zhao San and Wang Wu, and the two discussed going to the capital to do business together. But Zhao San's wife didn't want her husband to go far away, and the two quarreled for many days.

On the appointed day, in order to avoid the entanglement of his wife, Zhao San boarded the agreed merchant ship at dawn.

Seeing that there was a bulging amount of silver money in the package he was carrying, the ship's boss Chao got bad intentions, drove the boat in a remote place, and then threw Zhao San into the water and drowned. Then, he drove the boat back and pretended to sleep on it.

Wang Wu didn't see Zhao San when he arrived on the boat, and he didn't dare to see Zhao San's wife Zhou - he was afraid that Zhou would complain that he would let Zhao San go away.

So, Wang Wu thought of asking the boat to go to Zhao San's house to urge.

As soon as Zhang Chao arrived at the door of Zhao's house, he knocked on the door and shouted: "Third lady, open the door quickly!" ”

After opening the door, Zhang Chao asked, "Why didn't Zhao San get on the boat so late?" ”

When Zhao San's wife Zhou heard this, she said in surprise: "He went out early in the morning, why hasn't he been on the boat yet?" ”

Zhang Chao went back to report to Wang Wu, and Wang Wu also felt very strange, so he went to look for Zhou separately, and there was no trace for three days.

Wang Wu was afraid that he would be implicated, so he wrote a letter and sent it to the county yamen. I met Nazhi County and suspected that Zhao San's wife Zhou had committed adultery with someone and deliberately murdered her husband. So the magistrate followed this line of thought and tried his best to investigate. In the end, after investigating for a long time, no evidence was obtained, so the case was delayed for a long time.

At this moment, a supervising imperial historian passed by, and after reading the file of this case, he blurted out: "The real murderer is Zhang Chao!" ”

……

At this point in the story, Cui Geng stopped, glanced around, and asked, "May I ask you, what is the basis for this judgment of this superintendent of the imperial history?" Remember, the answer is in what the official just said. ”

Although Cui Chenggou has studied the matter of criminal names, he has never been an official, everything is just talk on paper, and he was blind at that time.

As for the others, when it comes to the ability to punish names, they are not as good as Cui Chenggou. Asking them is the same as asking about blindness.

Seeing that everyone couldn't give an answer for a long time, Cui Geng finally revealed the answer, "Everyone, please think about it carefully, this boat advocates that the tide is male." If he didn't know that Zhao San had left home, then when he arrived at the door of Zhao San's house, should he call the name of the man in this house? Or call the hostess? ”

Suddenly, there was silence in the field, and in about three breaths, bursts of whispering and discussion erupted.

"I understand, Zhao San is the head of the family in this house, and when the boat asks for the tide to knock on the door, it should be Zhao San's name."

"That's right, that's right, he visited late at night, and as soon as he knocked on the door, he shouted, 'Three ladies, open the door quickly!'" , instead of shouting the name of the host, it's obviously unreasonable. ”

"Yes, unless he knew in advance that Zhao San had left home, he should have shouted 'Is Zhao San at home?'!"

"Hey, why didn't I think of such a simple and simple truth?"

"No wonder they all say that when the criminal name is solved, you can't let go of the slightest clue!"

"We were negligent this time!"

"Eh......"

Bang Bang Bang ~

Cui Chenggou also suddenly came to his senses, and couldn't help stroking his palms and said: "If you knock on the door, you will call the third lady, and you will know that there is no husband in the door!" is worthy of Lingnan Cui Qingtian, really smart, we will admit defeat in this game. ”

In the third game, it was Boling Cui's again, lose!

Since then, Cui Geng has won three of the five questions, although there was no agreement on the best-of-five system before, but the current situation is very clear.

However, since it is not said that the best-of-five system is good-of-three, it is natural to start and finish well.

The school examination continues......

Cui Geng looked at Cui Whale and asked, "I don't know which brother you sent to preside over this fourth question?" ”

"It's a certain family!" Suddenly there was a loud shout from the courtyard gate.

Cui Geng followed the prestige, but saw a tall man with slightly dark skin walking over surrounded by more than ten people.

When Cui Whale saw the person, his face was a little inexplicably embarrassed, but he still introduced the person to Cui Geng and said: "This is our Cui Meng brother in the fourth room, and these people who are traveling with him are also from the fourth room. ”

Although these people accompanying him were all of the same clan, Cui Whale did not introduce his name and surname and identity and family history clearly as he did when he introduced everyone at the entrance of the village just now. For the others in the fourth room, he was completely casual.

Cui Geng caught this subtle abnormality, and secretly wondered, could it be that this fourth room has always been at odds with the other three rooms?

Seeing Cui Meng approaching, he raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand, and asked, "Then please Brother Cui Meng, let's ask the question!" ”

"Hehe, the topic of a certain family is different from theirs."

Cui Meng glanced at Cui Whale and the others, and snorted: "Our Boling Cui clan has always been the first three rooms to practice literature and enter the office, and the fourth room to practice martial arts and strengthen the body, and protect the family. If it weren't for our efforts in the fourth room, the entire ancestral land would have suffered many times of fire. But among the four rooms, our fourth room has always had the lowest status, and we don't even have a part in the 'Queqiao Club', Cui Erlang, do you think it's reasonable? ”

His words proved Cui Geng's suspicions just now, and sure enough, the fourth room was really incompatible with the other three rooms.

However, he didn't want to get involved in the infighting between the various houses of the Boling Cui clan, and as for what the Queqiao Club was, he didn't bother to inquire.

He didn't support Cui Meng's question, but set his eyes on Cui Whale.

Cui Whale also frowned slightly at this time, and reprimanded: "Say the topic, just talk about the topic, why do you mention this?" Queqiao will not have your share, it is the little ladies of the people, I don't want to see you fighting men, can this be blamed on our three rooms? ”

Cui Meng sneered for a while: "Don't want to see us? When the time comes, if they marry into the Cui family, I don't know if they need to wait for the children of the fourth room to escort them? Hehe, I've heard about it...... The Turks are likely to enter the territory of Dingzhou this year and next year! ”

"Cui Meng, do you want to threaten me with this?" Cui Whale was not afraid of the threat in Cui Meng's words.

"Threats? Cui Whale, your ability to button your hat is becoming more and more familiar, hehe. Cui Meng said: "A certain family just wants to tell Cui Erlang that the opinion of our fourth room is also very important in the Boling Cui family. If he wants to enter the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors, he must ask for the consent of our fourth room! ”

When Cui Geng heard it, he was happy, as if buddies were rare.

However, he also disliked Cui Meng's routine the most in his life.

I only heard him say aloud: "What are you doing with so much idle talk? Aren't they just two questions? Let's get the question, this official continues! ”

"Good! There are guts! ”

Cui Meng waved his hand, and shouted in a loud voice: "Come on, bring it up!" ”
