"hehe!"
Song Xuan sneered, "The prefect of this mountain city has such great authority!"
Although Song Xuan was a little unhappy about the local government dividing the power of Xuan Yiwei, he was not angry.
But after you took the power, not only did you not do anything, but you became a protective umbrella for the evil forces. This is unreasonable.
At this moment, outside the lobby, a commander-in-chief walked quickly. He looked at Wang Baihu first, hesitated, and bowed to Song Xuan and clasped his fists.
"Sir, a man died not far from the Yamen. How do you think we should deal with it?"
Song Xuan's subconscious consciousness dispersed, and he saw a young woman who seemed to be pregnant on the street less than 100 meters from the yamen gate. She was already lying in a pool of blood. Many people gathered around and pointed.
"Send someone out to investigate the situation!"
Wang Baihu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the order, and hurriedly led several general banners to the scene of the crime.
Not long after, Wang Baihu hurriedly returned and replied: "Sir, I found out clearly that she is Li Dashan, that is, Liu Zhang, the ninth concubine that Yun Zhonghe took in last month. Taking advantage of today's cloud Zhonghe was busy taking in a concubine, so he didn't keep a close eye on her as before, so he escaped from the house and prepared to come to Qianhu Office to file a complaint."
As he spoke, he handed over a blood-stained letter.
Song Xuan moved his fingers, and the prince fell into his hands.
Some of the handwriting on the complaint was stained with blood and could no longer be read clearly, but basically the content to be expressed could still be seen.
It records Li Dashan's various crimes such as raping and murdering thirteen members of Liu Zhang's husband's family, and occupying the Liu family's fields, shops, and money.
Seeing that Song Xuan didn't speak, Wang Baihu continued: "Sir, after checking just now, Liu Zhang was more than six months pregnant. On the way to complain, he was hit to death by a horse on horseback, killing one and two."
Song Xuan looked away from the paper and said indifferently: "Where is the perpetrator?"
"ah?"
Wang Baihu was stunned, what the hell?
"What's the origin of riding a horse and hitting someone?"
Wang Baihu said hurriedly: "The person who hit the man has already fled on horseback, but a passerby saw the direction of escape. It should not be difficult to trace him."
Song Xuan hummed, put away the petition, and took a deep breath.
"I'll give you one hour to bring the person back to me, life or death!"
There was a trace of confusion on Wang Baihu's face, "Sir, this is a murder case between ordinary people. Why don't you inform the prefect's Yamen first?"
Song Xuan didn't speak, just glanced at the other party coldly.
Wang Baihu shuddered and felt as if his head was about to move. He immediately panicked. He knew that this unfathomable Lord Inspector was a ruthless character who could kill people with just his eyes!
At that moment, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, sir. It won't take an hour. I'll be here as soon as I can for my humble job!"
After Wang Baihu left, Song Xuan moved, and the next moment, he appeared on the street outside the Yamen.
Not far away, Mrs. Liu and Zhang's face had been covered with white cloth, and outside the Qianhu Yamen, there were full-time widowers doing autopsies.
On the roadside, many people were watching and whispering.
"This Liu Zhang family is also a miserable person, and he still couldn't escape death after all."
"Alas, she is a fierce woman who wanted to avenge her husband's family. It's a pity that she couldn't get close to the Xuanyi Guard Qianhu Yamen in the end."
"It's useless. The world is as dark as crows, and officials protect each other. Even if she enters the Qianhu Yamen, she probably won't be able to redress her injustice."
"There is no way. The backer behind Mr. Li Dashan is the prefect. The Liu Zhang family is a commoner. If he dies, he will die. How can Xuan Yi Wei turn against the prefect over a dead man?"
"Forget it, this is the way the world is, just make do with it."
"That man surnamed Li is a lustful devil. He doesn't even spare pregnant women. If there are pregnant women at home, be careful and try not to go out!"
Seeing Liu Zhang's body being carried onto the cart, Song Xuan stood there and looked up at the sky.
He has actually seen this situation too many times.
Not to mention this kind of feudal world, even in the democratic society before he traveled through time, it was not uncommon for wealthy families to oppress the people.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. No matter what the society is like, this kind of bullying can never be completely eliminated.
Of course, if you understand, you understand, and it’s fine if you don’t see it or don’t know it, but since what happened in front of you, Song Xuan couldn’t ignore it.
Not long after, Wang Baihu led several Xuanyi Wei general banners and captured a man in luxurious clothes.
This man was not too old, less than thirty years old, and had a rebellious look on his face. He even sneered when he saw Song Xuan.
"My lord, did you stretch your hand too long? I just accidentally hit someone while riding my horse. What does this have to do with you Xuanyi Guards?"
Song Xuan glanced at Wang Baihu and said, "Let him kneel down and speak!"
Wang Baihu understood what the Inspector meant, looked around at the people watching on the streets, gritted his teeth, raised his hand and clapped it with two palms.
Just two clicks were heard, and the opponent's knees were smashed directly, and he knelt on the ground with a thud, letting out a shrill and painful roar.
Song Xuan walked up to him, cast a huge shadow, and looked at him condescendingly, as if King Yama from the Nine Netherworld was scanning the fresh local products.
"Who asked you to do this?" His voice was calm, with no hint of emotion or anger.
"ah?"
The man was dripping with cold sweat and gritted his teeth and said: "What are you talking about, sir? The little guy just got frightened and hit someone. At worst, I just have to pay for it. Do you think you have to give in and abuse your private life?"
Song Xuan chuckled, "You gave me a heads up."
He ordered Wang Baihu, "Bring the torture instruments from the yamen and give this little brother a full-body meal!"
Wang Baihu swallowed and said, "Sir, are you right here? Otherwise, why don't we escort him to the imperial prison first?"
Song Xuan shook his head slightly, "Right here!"
Wang Baihu did not dare to disobey the order. Soon, on the street outside the Qianhu Yamen, various tortures in the prison were performed one by one. Screams and wails continued to sound, and the onlookers were completely enlightened.
Of course, they were really afraid, but no one left because of fear. Instead, they clapped their hands and cheered excitedly. Obviously, they also hated the so-called Li Dashan.
"Sir, the confession has been collected. It was under the instruction of Mr. Li Dashan."
Wang Baihu handed over the confession.
Song Xuan just glanced at it, and then nodded indifferently, "Take the person, if he resists, we will kill him without mercy!"
"Sir, how should I explain to the prefect?"
"Explain?"
Song Xuan glanced at Wang Baihu. This guy was obedient, but he had lost his blood after being suppressed by the prefect over the years. He was timid in doing things. The ruthlessness of Xuan Yiwei had worn off on him.
"What explanation do you want? Give him the face and call him a magistrate. If you don't give him the face, send him to the grave!"
