Chapter 83 Let's make a big deal (2)
Lu Dalang continued to fight with the cock and dog, but it was not him who was anxious, but Zhu Huan...
However, Zhu Huan is not him. In terms of vision, he is not as good as Wang Ju. Perhaps even Wang Anshi is not as good as Wang Ju. However, in terms of details, it may be better than Wang Ju. So he found Lu Dalang and said directly: "I don't want to wait."
"Mr. Zhu, you have wronged me. For your Erlang, I have broken my legs these days."
"I'll say less nonsense. I'll just say one thing. Within ten days, I'll need news, otherwise I'll have two sons and one grandson! Then everyone will be killed."
"I kindly do your business for you, and you threaten me."
"Then try it."
"Okay, okay, I'll try to give you news within ten days." Lu Dalang left angrily.
He walked out the door and cursed: "This old man is immortal."
But he didn't dare to gamble. After all, it was not a small amount of money. What if Zhu Huan made up his mind?
So he found Ding Jia again.
"What are you going to drag? What are the benefits of dragging it?" Ding Jia also said angrily. Zhu Huan was anxious, and he was also anxious.
"Okay, I'll do it now. Have you been having fun these few days?"
"It's okay," Ding Jia said with a look of his face. Seeing that things were getting better, and he also met several rich fools and rich second generations who won a total of 700 to 800 stags these days. How could he be unhappy?
Lu Dalang started to do business.
The next day he took a maid to the street and went to a pawnshop. Suddenly the maid whispered: "This is You'er's hairpin."
"What You'er's hairpin?"
"You'er is a snake. When she hits the golden hairpin, she deliberately used silver to hit a small white snake on the hairpin. I accompanied her to beat her, but she beat her not long ago. I remember it clearly."
Lu Dalang noticed this. A big man was holding a golden hairpin for money. The golden hairpin was a bit strange. A cute little white snake was inlaid on the top of the golden hairpin.
"Are you sure it's You'er's hairpin?"
"Yes, and she even inserted her hairpin on her head on the night that day. Dalang, you praised her hairpin as beautiful. Can't you remember?"
"I can't remember so many things that night. Oh no, catch him." Lu Dalang shouted.
A few servants grabbed the man in one go.
"What are you going to do?" the man asked.
"Send to the county government."
The man was sent to the county government office, and Lu Dalang beat the drum and sued the man for robbing the tomb. For no reason, the offender had a body test that day. After seeing the scene, Lu Dalang immediately prepared a coffin and buried You'er, but her clothes and jewelry did not move. But now in the hands of this man, where did he come from if he was not a tomb robber?
Cai Zhixian immediately went to the court to ask about the case.
After a few sticks were beaten, the man couldn't stand it. He honestly told him that his surname was Fu and his name was Fu Xiaozhuang. He was the person nearby. Because of his poverty, he had no choice but to steal the tomb.
Cai Zhixian continued to ask where the tomb was, when did it be stolen, and what was stolen, and have you stolen other people's tombs before?
This is the procedure for asking the case.
However, Fu Xiaozhuang couldn't answer.
So he continued to fight, and he couldn't bear it anymore. Fu Xiaozhuang suddenly confessed that the hairpin was not robbed from the tomb robber, but stolen.
His family was poor. His eldest son and second son were in his twentieth year of poverty. He had not married a wife because of his poverty. The old mother was sick again and did not even have any money to see a doctor. It just so happened that the Lu family moved in and seemed to be rich. Fu Xiaozhuang invaded the Lu family that night and was about to steal something. A pretty maid came in with a drunk young man. He had to hide under the bed. The young man was vomiting, and the maid took the vomit with a basin.
Then the young man fell asleep on the bed. The maid wiped the face for the young man and was about to go out when she saw a pool of vomiting leaking outside the bonsen. She bent down to clean the body and saw him all at once.
In desperation, he rushed out from under the bed, covered her mouth, and told her not to speak. But the maid was pretty, so he became lustful and wanted to molest, but the maid kept struggling. He tied her neck and threatened in a low voice, not letting her shout. Who knew that he had used his strength to get stuck to the maid alive.
When the man died, he had to run away, but he took down the golden hairpin on the maid's head. However, he did not dare to take it. Soon he heard that the Lu family case was solved and said that someone else had killed it, so he plucked up his courage to take the golden hairpin.
Did you get the case wrong? Cai County and the Chief Bo County Magistrate stared at each other.
Life is at stake, and it is not a joke. Cai Zhixian asked the yamen runners to take Fu Xiaozhuang to prison, then found the record of the offense, and carefully looked through it. The time was almost the same. Anyway, after You'er had been in for a long time, the servants of the Lu family pushed the door and saw that You'er was dead, so they called someone and arrested Zhu Jun.
There are indeed signs of being bullied but this time, I looked back carefully and saw a part of it, that was the window behind it was opened. It is impossible to record the offense as detailed as in later generations, but some must record how the deceased died and how the crime scene was found.
So he immediately summoned the servants of the Lu family, and was the window opened that night?
I asked a few servants, and one servant also remembered that he cleaned the room that day and the windows were closed. Of course, someone died that day, and so many messy things happened, no one expected.
So I continued to interrogate if anyone in the Lu family had opened this window that day.
No one said it had been opened.
There is another way to confirm, that is, open the coffin. County Magistrate Cai and the yamen runners dug out You'er's tomb and opened the coffin. All the clothes and other jewelry inside were there, but the bones were a little rotten.
I confirmed two items and then tried again. Since it was the murder you committed, how it was inappropriate and how it was strangled to death.
An autopsy record using his confession to the offense.
One pair will meet.
So Zhu Jun was taken up again and tortured him again, how he was molested or how he strangled him to death. As a result, there were some slight differences in many places.
County Magistrate Cai sighed: "Master Huang is boring, we are indeed wrong."
"What should I do?"
Cai Zhixian was furious: "You are also a disciple. Why do you say you killed someone if you didn't kill someone? Come on, hit fifty-years-old."
He beat him up and was put back in prison.
Zhu Jun was so angry. I wanted to admit this wrongful crime. Isn’t this the one who was beaten to the point of being desperate and had to confess? But at this time he was ecstatic and knew that his life was saved.
The officials in Huayin were in trouble, so they had no choice but to report it to the prefect Zhou Fu.
Zhou Fu got down immediately as soon as he heard this.
Then look at the confessions of both, and then look at the documents and records of confessions and clerks.
Because Zhu Jun was still in the Huayin prison, Zhou Fu didn't know the various festivals in the middle, and did not think of anything else, so he immediately cursed: "How did you do things? I reported them to the court. Now he said that the case was wrong and wanted to destroy my future!"
So he immediately interrogated himself.
Drag Zhu Jun up first, someone had already greeted him secretly, boy, if you want to go out safely, don’t talk nonsense.
Therefore, Zhu Jun didn't speak.
Zhou Fu asked tightly. Zhu Jun took off his clothes in anger: "Zhou Zhizhou, look."
Zhou Fu was so excited that he asked someone to take Zhu Jun down and cursed again: "I strictly prohibit torture and confession from the law code. You want to die!"
The law of the Song Dynasty prohibited officials from torture prisoners by severe torture. Fighting is just a whipping stick. Fighting is a small thorn strip, which hurts but will not die. The maximum number of times is only 50 times. The stick is beaten with a small bamboo stick, with a maximum number of times a hundred times, which is to prevent unjust cases. But actual execution is another matter. For example, in order to force Yue Fei to confess, Wanqie invented skinning and poured it on the skin, and after the glue cools down, the skin will be peeled off alive. That is torture on earth.
Zhou Fu continued to curse. Anyway, he was scolding Fujian dialect, and no one understood it. Everyone pretended not to understand it when they understood it, so they retried it and questioned Fu Xiaozhuang.
It's a wrong case.
At this point, Zhou Fu did not dare to do anything, so he rewritten the case file and released Zhu Jun.
Lu Dalang was waiting outside and immediately took Zhu Jun home.
Zhu Jun did not agree, but a servant from the Zhu family was also by his side and said, "Erlang, the old man is waiting for you at his house..."
Zhu Jun understood and immediately burst into tears.
