"Ye Dianshi, apart from Sun Liu's adultery case, have there been any similar cases in Huai'an County in recent years?"
After Lu Xiaoliu left, Song Xuan turned to look at Ye Dianshi outside the cell door.
"have!"
Ye Dianshi didn't even need to check the files and said directly: "In the past three years, there have been eight cases of adultery recorded in Huai'an County and the counties below.
These eight cases were recorded in the files as involving young and beautiful young women having affairs with others. In five cases, after being reviewed by the Ministry of Punishments, the prisoners had already been executed.
There were also two cases where local clans enforced their clan rules and secretly dipped the convicts' wives in pig cages. Now the only one left alive is the Sun Liu family. "
Song Xuan asked again, "Can the adulterer be caught?"
Ye Dianshi shook his head, "In these cases, witnesses witnessed the convict's wife committing adultery, but the adulterer was never caught!"
Song Xuan took a deep breath and his face turned cold.
Even Song Qian understood what this meant.
"Brother, ordinary people tolerate this kind of thing as long as they can, and are not willing to report it to the government at all. Those that can be recorded by the government can only be said to be a very small number, and the number that has not been recorded is estimated to be very large. !”
Song Xuan nodded, "When you see cockroaches at home, it means there are countless cockroaches in the dark corners that you can't see!"
Song Qian clenched her fists subconsciously, "You mean, those adultery cases were all committed by the flower-picking thief, and someone in the government suppressed the matter and turned it into an adultery case?"
Song Xuan nodded and sneered, "A woman disguises herself as a man and only plays with other people's wives. This guy is really unscrupulous in his actions!"
...
Lu Xiaoliu's social skills are still very good.
In the eyes of outsiders, the people in the Xuanyiwei Law Enforcement Department are killers and extremely difficult to deal with.
But Xiao Liuzi had only been there for less than two hours before he led a group of elite Law Enforcement Department officers on horseback, wearing black black black robes and black iron swords at their waists.
Song Xuan led Song Qian out of the cell quickly and greeted several people outside the prison.
As soon as they met, Song Xuan first clasped fists with Lu Xiaoliu and thanked him, "Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry to bother you for making the trip in person!"
He bit the word Zhao Gongzi very hard, and Lu Xiaoliu also raised his head in style, "Remember to say something nice to my dad when you go back, so that he understands that I am not just a freeloader." Dead second generation ancestor!"
"Easy to say! Easy to say!"
Song Xuan laughed, turned his eyes, and looked at the row of people headed by the law enforcement department.
But I saw that this man was tall and tall, with bulging muscles on his arms, and the palms of his hands that had been practicing swordsmanship all year round were covered with calluses. He was about thirty years old, but he seemed to have experienced hardships, making his face look a bit bitter.
Song Xuan gave a warm fist-cup salute.
"My Lord, Song Xuan, what do you call me?"
"It turns out to be Mr. Song!"
The head of the Law Enforcement Department seemed a bit cold and not good at dealing with people, but in fact, that was indeed the case.
After a simple reply, the man stopped talking. A companion next to him quietly touched his arm, and the man came back to his senses and added another sentence.
"My name is Shen Lian!"
"This time, please excuse me, Mr. Shen!" Song Xuan said with a nonchalant smile.
"Master Song!" The smaller but clever companion next to Shen Lian cupped his fists and saluted, "My Mr. Shen Qi is not good at words, so please don't blame me."
The levels of Xuanyi Guards are divided into three major levels, third level, second level, and first level.
Not to mention the third class, it is a position for the noble disciples to just hang out.
The second-class Xuanyi Guards are further divided into four levels: Thousand Households, Hundred Households, General Banner, and Small Banner.
Generally, warriors recruited from the civil society, after joining the Xuanyi Wei Yamen, start from a small banner, and only after they have accumulated enough merits are they eligible to be promoted to the general banner.
For those like Song Xuan who came from the imperial capital and were directly under the Imperial Capital Inspection Department, as long as they passed the assessment of the second-class Xuanyi Guards, they would start with the general banner.
So in terms of level, Song Xuan and Shen Lian were on the same level.
But he didn't put on airs and smiled gently, "Brothers, you're welcome. I'm asking you to help me this time. How can I blame you? By the way, what do you call me brothers?"
"Jin Yichuan is a subordinate, and Tian is a small flag under General Shen. Sir, just call me Yichuan!"
As he spoke, his expression became serious, he glanced at Lu Xiaoliu, and then said: "Previously, Mr. Zhao said that he was in danger of his life in Huai'an and needed our rescue... Mr. Song, you don't know this danger. Where are you from?"
He was a little confused, not only him, but also Shen Lian had a puzzled look on his face.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xuanyi Guards always make trouble for others, and few people dare to take the initiative to provoke Xuanyi Guards. Where does this danger to life come from?
Song Xuan smiled and said: "I was ordered by Mr. Zhao Dezhu, the chief officer of the Xuanyi Guard Inspection Department, to lead a team to Huai'an County to investigate a private adultery case."
"Adultery case?"
Shen Lian and others' expressions became strange. When did Xuan Yiwei become so idle? It's our turn to intervene in this kind of nonsense among the people?
"This case involves people from the Jianghu!" Song Xuan added.
As soon as these words came out, Shen Lian and others, who had not taken it seriously at first, suddenly became serious.
The original intention of establishing the Xuanyi Guard was to check and balance the large group of warriors in the martial arts world, so that the martial arts world and the court could maintain a state of balance.
Generally speaking, Xuan Yiwei doesn't care when people in the arena fight and kill each other. As long as they don't hurt innocent people or harm ordinary people, Xuan Yiwei won't interfere at will.
But if people in the world are unethical and rely on their martial arts skills to attack ordinary people, then this involves the professional scope of their Xuanyi Guards.
At the moment, Song Xuan briefly described the specific circumstances of the case, and then said in a deep voice: "The case is basically clear. If we continue to investigate, the identity of the flower-picking thief will be involved.
The identity of that person should be very unusual, and he was most likely a family member of a local official. I was worried that they would jump over the edge if pressed, so I had no choice but to ask my colleagues for help. "
"It's your job, Mr. Song, there's no need to be polite!"
Shen Lian was a straightforward person. He pulled out the long knife from his waist with a cry and said in a deep voice: "Handling cases is the responsibility of the Inspection Department, but killing people is the domain of our Law Enforcement Department.
Mr. Song doesn't need to tell me too much about the case. You just need to tell us who to kill next and how to find the flower-picking thief! "
After his words fell, behind him, more than twenty small flags from the Law Enforcement Department riding on war horses drew out their long knives. They were all silent, but the murderous intent in their eyes was not concealed at all.
Song Xuan, Song Qian and others looked at each other without any trace, with inexplicable meaning in their eyes.
These people in the Law Enforcement Department are indeed very weird as rumored. They are all full of evil, and it is unknown how many people they have killed to hone their murderous nature.
