(Ask for recommendation, ask for collection, ask for support!) ）-

"Thank you for your generosity." He Chang also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's come one by one," Wei Zhixian said, "Let's talk and instigate first." ”

Master Sima on the side said: "According to the "Da Ming Law", those who instigate people to commit crimes, as the mastermind, should be the first to be guilty. In this case, the Zhao family was sentenced to beheading for the crime of false accusation against sitting, and according to the 'Nano Atonement Regulations' promulgated by the Ministry of Household Affairs the year before last, the Nano 110 stone can be exempted from the death penalty and the sentence should be changed to five years' imprisonment. "In fact, not only the grain chief, since the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, anyone can atone for their sins as long as they are not 'really guilty of capital crimes'. Now that the banknote law is getting worse, the court is naturally not stupid, and it does not collect money when it collects rice.

"What if the five-year sentence is also waived?"

"Forty stones."

"Okay." He Changxin said, my life is not too expensive.

"Also, the atoning rice must be transported to Beijing, do you plan to transport it yourself, or will the imperial court transport it on your behalf?"

He Changxin said, isn't that nonsense: "It will be transported by the imperial court." ”

"Then you have to pay double the freight, a total of 300 stones." Master Sima said that he sighed secretly, black, really black, Yongle Ye is really poor and crazy.

"So many ......," He often gasped.

"This is the rule of the imperial court." Master Sima said with a straight face, "Whether you hand it over or not, you can do it." ”

"Deliver, deliver." He Chang said with a painful face, but when he saw Wei Zhixian there, he couldn't help but curse, I don't know how much, into this guy's private pocket!

He really guessed right, according to the regulations, the local government can set aside 30% as funds.

"And then there is the abduction and harboring of women. According to the "Da Ming Law", all those who set up strategies and lured their lovers will have a hundred rods and three thousand miles regardless of whether they have been sold or not. Li Guan said: "According to the 'Nano Atonement Regulations', Nano 80 stone can be exempted from the death penalty and the sentence will be changed to four years in prison." ”

"How many more stones do you need to be exempted from imprisonment?"

"Thirty stones." Master Sima said: "You know...... That's two hundred and twenty stones. After a pause, he said, "Again, you sent someone to assassinate Wang Xian......

"Let's just report the number." He often has more lice and does not bite, and he is already numb.

"According to the "Da Ming Law", if anyone murders someone, if he is injured but does not die, the creator will be hanged. The standard of atonement is the same as that of beheading. Master Sima said: "That is, three hundred stones." ”

'It's eight hundred and twenty ......stones,' He Chang secretly summed up in his heart, almost the gold and silver I planned to bribe and leave behind. Pretending to be in pain, he said, "I paid the 820 stones, and I can go home, right?" ”

Master Sima looked at the county master in the hall, and saw that Wei Zhixian's throat was itchy and coughing non-stop, so he suddenly said, "There is the last one." ”

"And?" He Chang hated these two corrupt officials very much, even if he was covered in iron, he would have to be nailed by them!

"It was your housekeeper He Fu, Changgong Zhao Zhu and others who confessed, and you murdered and sank the corpse." Master Sima flipped through the file and said, "Do you admit it?" ”

"They slandered me, and I didn't kill anyone." Although He Chang had relaxed his vigilance, he still subconsciously said.

"Then where did the concubine you bought two years ago go?"

"Ran away ......"

Before He Chang's words fell, he heard a 'snap', Wei Zhixian slapped the wood in surprise and scolded: "The surname He, you don't toast or eat and drink!" Do you think this hall is an ornament? ”

The 'mighty ......' soaps slapped the ground with water and fire sticks.

"Outside of He, these people were interrogated separately, but their confessions were completely consistent, so you can be convicted of murder." Master Sima persuaded: "Hengzhu has already confessed so many crimes, is there still this one, isn't it just an extra money?" ”

He Changxin said that it was really blackmail...... After thinking about it, he asked tentatively, "Is this a serious sin?" ”

"It's not heavy, it's just killing a concubine." Master Sima said with a smile: "According to the "Da Ming Law", it is just a charge of the army, if it is a penalty of rice, it is only two hundred stones, and with the wealth of the ten thousand people outside the staff, there is still a difference of two hundred stone rice?" ”

"......" He Chang was silent for a long time, and still whispered: "I really didn't kill anyone......"

"Dare to be hard-mouthed!" Wei Zhixian was angry, took out a handful of fire sticks from the stick, sprinkled it on the ground and said, "Eighty canes, give me a hard beating!" ”

Four soaps moved at once, first two water and fire sticks passed through He Chang's armpit to erect his upper body, dragging him away from the pestle, and then the last two struck at the crook of his hind legs.

He Chang knelt down first, and with the first two water and fire sticks holding him back, his whole body lay on the hard brick floor. The four feet of the four soaps stepped on the backs of his two hands and two ankles respectively, and He Chang was stepped on tightly in a large zigzag!

Immediately afterwards, I heard the two soaps take a deep breath of 'hey', round the water and fire sticks, and they are about to fight!

"Don't fight, I say, I say!" Since Zhilu Dao can be nano-repentant, He Chang's will to resist is very weak, and he screamed heartbreakingly before he fought.

"Don't recruit it from the truth, otherwise you'll taste all the torture instruments in this hall!" Wei Zhixian was shocked and shouted in a deep voice.

"Well, let me ask first, this sin must be exempt from death, right?" He Changyu asked uneasily.

"Of course, it's just a small concubine." Master Sima was very sure: "It is lighter than other crimes." ”

He Chang looked at Wei Zhixian again and said: "The county lord swore an oath to promise that I would not die, otherwise I would not say anything about killing me." ”

"You!" Wei Zhixian angrily said, "You dare to blackmail this official?!" ”

Sima Qiu hurriedly persuaded: "Tangzun swore an oath, and we didn't lie to him." As he spoke, he gave Wei Zhixian a look.

Wei Zhixian reluctantly swore at this time: "The crime of killing the concubine will not lead to death, if there is deception, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." ”

He Chang was completely relieved at this time, and told how he beat the concubine to death, how to sink the corpse, where to bury the murder weapon and bloody clothes, and poured beans into the bamboo tube.

Master Sima on the side worked hard to write a book, recorded his confession, and after reading it again, there were no mistakes, so he asked He Chang to sign and draw it, and then presented it to the magistrate.

Wei Zhixian turned out the confession, read it carefully, confirmed that it was correct, and then patted the case and said: "Leave the court!" ”

Seeing that the official came to detain him again, He Chang protested: "Old parents, I have already confessed and promised Nami, why don't you let me go home?" ”

"The matter of nano has to be reported to the Criminal Department for approval, so He Yuanwai has to wait for more than a month." Wei Zhixian smiled and said, "I can only be wronged and stay in prison for a while." ”

"Ah......" He Changdeng was stunned.

"Take it away!" Wei Zhixian waved his sleeves, like chasing flies, and ordered someone to take the villain back to prison.

"Alas......" He Chang sighed helplessly, but he was still not spared this prison.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back in the signing room, Wei Zhixian took off his official hat, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled and said: "What a 'stealing the sky', the surname He doesn't know when he dies!" ”

Master Sima twisted his beard and smiled: "Yes, he thought it was as simple as beating the concubine to death." But I forgot how this little concubine came about! ”

It turned out that according to He Fu and Zhuzi's confession, that Linghua was a girl from a good family who He Chang bought from the hands of a kidnapper, and her temperament was very strong.

It's not as simple as killing the concubine! Instead, he bought a good family, raped and killed people, and he really committed a capital crime!

And Wei Zhixian and Master Sima, according to Wang Xian's plan, first fully paralyzed He Chang, and then deliberately did not mention the origin of Linghua, and only killed the concubine to induce a confession, so that He Chang thought that the crime could be compensated for not to death, and confessed the crime in its entirety, and waited for him to sign and detain, and the charge of murder was confirmed.

At this time, He Chang's life and death are no longer in his own hands, but determined by the identity of Linghua!

As long as the government investigates and finds out that Linghua is indeed a good family who was abducted, and there is no need for He Chang to confess again, his charge of rape and murder will be completely confirmed!

And Linghua's identity is not difficult to investigate, because the "Daming Law" stipulates that the premise of buying a concubine is voluntary, and it must be registered with the government, otherwise it is illegal.

Wei Zhixian has already asked the household to check, and there is no record of the Zhang family's concubine purchase at all, this alone is enough!

This also explains why the female corpse has been dead for two years and no one has claimed it. Because she's not a local at all!

At this point, the case has been thoroughly investigated, and there are no omissions. What satisfied Wei Zhixian the most was that he did not punish He Yong, nor did he force him to the extent that he said that he was Jinyiwei...... At this time, He Yuanwai is still in prison, dreaming of staying for a while and going home!

In this way, if the case is handed over, even if there is a lot of noise above, it has nothing to do with him, a seven-grade sesame official. At least Wei Zhixian has a clear conscience......

He personally worked with Master Sima in the signing room all night, and finally sorted out all the files. Then wash and change clothes for a while, and go straight to the provincial capital Hangzhou!

The reason why it doesn't stop is also to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible......

Fuyang is only sixty miles away from Hangzhou, and it is downstream again, and it is an hour by boat.

After entering the city of Hangzhou, Wei Zhixian first went to the prefect's yamen...... In his meaning, he went directly to find the 'cold face and iron cold', but Master Sima said, don't, you dare to ignore your boss, and wait for rectification in the future.

In fact, Yu Qian, the prefect of Hangzhou, was a gentle elder, and he was deeply shocked after listening to Wei Zhixian's report, and carefully read the file, and sighed for a long time: "Strange injustices through the ages, strange injustices through the ages!" As he spoke, he got up and arched his hand and said: "Wen Yuan's eyes are like lightning, and it is really the luck of this house and the blessing of the people to be able to settle such an unjust prison!" Please bow down to me! ”

Wei Zhixian hurriedly supported the prefect, and said at a loss: "The subordinates are also a coincidence, and there are capable officials to help ......."

"Let's go and report to Lord Shodai!" Governor Yu held his hand tightly and said, "If you ask, you will say that I mean!" ”

"Thank you for your protection." Wei Zhixian was grateful, gave a deep salute, left the prefect's yamen, and went straight to the yamen of the inspection envoy not far away.

Zhou Zhentai happened to be discussing with He Guantai, and I heard that Fuyang Zhixian came to report to Zhentai, and He Guantai's face was difficult to look at when he landed.

Seeing this, Zhou Xin smiled and said: "Then let's take a look at what this ignorant magistrate has to say!" ”
