Midnight, water prison,
The dark pool water was undulating and rippling into the distance.
Four chains bound a death row prisoner in the pool, making him unable to move.
The death row prisoner has long hair covering his face and is dying.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound, and several ghosts floated over and surrounded him.
Plop, plop, several large buckets of leeches were poured into the water.
The leeches dispersed and swarmed towards the condemned man.
A ferocious laughter sounded in the sky, and a big ugly face approached:
"Giggle, kid, don't you want to die?!"
The death row prisoner's scalp exploded, he barely raised his head and begged feebly:
"Master Gao, please, as long as you let me out, I can guarantee that within three months I will completely clear up all the backlogged cases in Qiandong County. If there is an unsolved unsolved case, I will be willing to have my whole family executed by the government! No complaints at all. !”
"Quack quack..."
The visitor laughed evilly and suddenly ordered:
"Just give up on this idea. I won't give you any chance! Brothers! Pull off this kid's clothes and let these things suck his blood!"
Several detectives jumped into the water, tore off the prisoner's robes, and Bai Ding emerged.
Countless leeches pounced on the prey, wrapping him up, and countless suckers quickly pierced his skin.
"Help~"
…
Click!
A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky above the Qiandong County government office and rolled down into the courtyard. Lightning flashed everywhere, illuminating the execution hall of the county government office for Bai SengSeng.
Qin Tianming's body trembled, and he finally woke up from the nightmare of the water prison.
He slowly opened his eyes and regained his memory.
Above the execution hall, he was dressed in black, holding three sticks of incense, standing alone in the vestibule.
Behind him, two lines of lanterns lined up one after another, illuminating the lobby in red.
In the red light, there is a person sitting high above the execution hall, wearing a red robe and a high hat, with his hand on the gavel.
This person is Xu Ruhai, the imperial minister, the minister of Dali Temple, who is responsible for recording prisoners at the end of the year.
There were two officials standing on his left and right: the county magistrate Gao Buwei and the legal officer Li Zhi. They both looked down at the hall with solemn faces.
The benches in the hall were filled with dignitaries from Qandong County, all with solemn expressions.
In the corner, Master Tan Laosi was sitting upright, holding a brush and preparing to write notes.
In the distance, countless arrest squads and fast squads were beating the ground with various torture instruments, and the buzzing sound echoed through the hall.
In the atrium, illuminated by lights, a corpse table was placed.
There was a female corpse curled up on the corpse table.
The female corpse was wrapped in a worn fishing net, her whole body was swollen and white, her lower limbs were tied, her upper limbs were raised high, and her hands stretched out from the holes in the fish net, as if she was complaining to the sky.
The sinister wind blew swaying the lanterns in the hall, making the scene as frightening as the Hall of Hell.
Why is this happening? !
Qin Tianming let out a long sigh and casually inserted three sticks of incense into the incense tray for corpse sacrifice. Looking at the rising traces of smoke, he finally had a chance to collect his thoughts:
It turns out that a few days ago, forensic doctor Qin Tianming was involved in an unknown car accident. After waking up, he was inexplicably transported to Daxia, the darkest, most corrupt and helpless country in history.
There are no detailed records in the official history of the Daxia Kingdom. It was founded around the 15th century AD. It is located in the southwest. It is actually a small country in Wan'er. It is surrounded by three major countries. It has bordered seventeen foreign countries. It has fought for many years and suffered from internal and external troubles.
In the first year of the new era of the Great Xia Kingdom, the son-emperor Xia Wen came to the throne. Li Chonghou, a veteran of the three dynasties, was promoted to a third-level official, Shangshu, Taiwei, and Imperial Master because of his meritorious service in assisting in his ascension to the throne. He was fully in charge of internal and external affairs.
Li Chonghou was treacherous, corrupt and power-obsessed, and blocked his voice, which led to the decline of the Great Xia Kingdom and its collapse.
The lower-level officials imposed exorbitant taxes and raked in grain, and the summer rain and cold rain made the people miserable.
Seven days ago, Qin Tianming, a wealthy second-generation leader in the forensic field, accidentally fell into this strange, dark and chaotic country.
There was no built-in system, no chance, no chance meeting with the emperor, no becoming a prince, no Lu Bu's outstanding martial arts, no own military supplies warehouse, but directly fell to the altar, and Bai Fumei's soul was attached to a butcher and seller of pigs. The butcher became a proper untouchable in the Great Xia Kingdom.
Traveling through time means being destined to be in a lonely state, and there is no way to make a comeback, which is not fun at all.
The first seven days of the game: on the first day, pigs were slaughtered in the backyard, on the second day, they went to the streets to sell meat. On the third day, they were kicked out of the house by the butcher father Qin Hu because they slept in in the rain. After that, they lived on the streets for two days and two nights.
On the fifth day, fortunately, because I had been a forensic doctor in my previous life, I was good at butchering and cutting all kinds of corpses, and I was very skilled in knife skills. When selling pork, they said that cutting blood vessels would never cut nerves, and cutting nerves would never cut brothers-in-law, so I was beaten by the people who came to buy pork. Yang Laowu, the shop manager of the business, has a keen eye for talents and introduced him to Qiandong County to serve as a pestle worker.
What is Chuzuo?
Chuzuo, the corpse stitcher, the corpse bearer and the eunuch are known as the four most sinister people in the world.
To put it bluntly, it is an embarrassing and shameless character that a living person thinks is a ghost, and a ghost wants to kill him when he sees it.
Fortunately, for the former leader in the forensic medical field, it is not considered a separate profession.
Moreover, in Daxia, a country where corpses are everywhere and blood is flowing, being able to do such a heavy-tasting job can be considered a blessing among misfortunes.
However, things are not that simple. On the sixth day, just as Qin Tianming was preparing to turn around with the help of Chu Zuo's position, unexpectedly, the corrupt Daxia Kingdom suddenly imposed a year-end prison sentence that had been suspended for thirty years.
On a whim, the newly appointed son-emperor Xia Wen vowed to revitalize the imperial court and personally appointed Xu Ruhai, the minister of Dali Temple, as the imperial envoy, responsible for recording prisoners at the end of the year, investigating unjust, false and wrong cases in various places, and arresting corrupt officials.
Xu Ruhai acted according to the order and took the food and drink officials all the way from the capital Bei'an Prefecture. It was just a formality. Unexpectedly, he happened to encounter the people of Qiandong County who had no way to complain. Dozens of farmers took the lead in going to the county government office. He was hanged and was not rescued in time, resulting in 17 casualties.
At that time, Xu Ruhai was having a banquet at the county government office in Qiandong County. With so many people dead and injured at the gate of the county government office, how could he save his face?
No matter how heartless you are, you still have to put on a show.
In anger, Xu Ruhai, the minister of Dali Temple, ordered that all seventeen people including Diao Youzhen, who was in charge of justice in Qiandong County, and the arrester Li Tai, as well as the catcher Chu Zuo, be sent to prison, and they would all be executed after reporting to the court!
Qin Tianming happened to be there and was given a number. Unfortunately, he only went to work for one day and was sent to death row at night.
Wujie ended up encountering a desperate end, and Qin Tianming could only lament the pain of time travel and wished he could escape back in time.
But it was useless to be anxious. In order to survive, he had to calm down and come up with a temporary solution overnight in the water prison.
He used the only three taels of silver he had to bribe the jailer, bit off his middle finger and wrote a letter in blood, volunteered, and recommended himself as county magistrate Gao Buwei. He swore to God that he could clear all the backlogged cases in Qiandong County within three months. Revealing the deceased demonstrates the laws and regulations of our Great Xia Dynasty, so as to set the record straight and never die again.
In fact, it was unlucky for the county magistrate to be incompetent. He spent a lot of capital to bribe the state capital, and finally let go of the county magistrate of Gandong County. However, within a few months of taking office, he was caught by the imperial envoy as a model and wanted to Guilty jointly and severally.
Therefore, after reading Qin Tianming's self-recommendation letter, Gao Buwei's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had been granted amnesty.
He then reported the situation to the Minister of Dali Temple overnight. The Minister of Dali Temple heard that it made sense and thought that even if he killed the seventeen bastards in the water prison, the backlog of cases would not be solved by himself. He might as well give it a try. If it works, If you have merit in capturing prisoners yourself, you will inevitably receive rewards from the emperor. If that doesn't work, then you can just slash them one by one, and then put all the charges on their heads, which will be considered a great achievement.
There are good people and good deeds inside and outside, so Xu Ruhai unexpectedly agreed to Qin Tianming's righteous deeds.
God has eyes, Qin Tianming finally had a breather.
On the seventh day, Qin Tianming and the sixteen officials were released from the water prison and given three months to clear all the backlogged cases.
On the night of the seventh day, Magistrate Gao and Qin Tianming made a life-or-death decision: if you solve a case, you will live for a day. If a case is not solved, the whole family will be executed immediately!
By analogy, until all the backlogged cases in Qandong County are solved, death can be avoided.
…
In fact, Qin Tianming was still in the dark. How could he know how big the hole he had dug for himself after traveling through seven days.
Qiandong County has been in existence for 500 years and has accumulated no less than 10,000 cases of injustice. The most typical murder cases include more than 700 cases. It can be said that there are numerous corpses, white bones, and a sinister atmosphere.
Successive county magistrates came and went like a revolving door. As their official positions became bigger and bigger, the number of unjust cases accumulated and they were buried deeper and deeper.
There are so many tombs that Qin Tianming might not be able to decipher all of them, even if he has some clever calculations.
What's more, he doesn't have any modern high-tech tools at hand. Can he complete such an arduous task with just his passion and a scrawled pestle box?
The answer is 100 million nonono.
But, does he have a choice now?
He had no choice but to face the difficulties and struggle to the death.
Thinking of this, Qin Tianming retracted his thoughts, made up his mind, cheered up, took the corpse pole in his hand, and strode to the female corpse.
Holding his breath, he was about to lift the pole to check, when suddenly someone shouted from behind:
"Stay!"
Looking back, it was the county magistrate Gao Buwei who was shouting.
Has this person regretted it? !
Qin Tianming stood there stunned, trembling all over.
Gao Buwei dragged his long robe and mandarin jacket down to the hall, walked slowly to Qin Tianming, and said meaningfully:
"Qin Tianming, please think carefully. If this shot is taken, the thirteen members of your family, seventeen of our county government officials, and thirty people may all be killed! You must think twice. ah."
Fortunately, Gao Buwei did not change his mind. Qin Tianming was relieved and smiled sadly:
"Master Gao, you are worrying too much! As for the so-called diamonds and porcelain work, since I, Qin Tianming, have boasted about Haikou, I will definitely succeed! Besides, even if I give up now, can I survive?"
Xu Ruhai, the minister of Dali Temple, was moved by Qin Tianming's spirit, looked down at him and said:
"I think this young man is very impressive and extraordinary. I trust you and will give you a chance. Listen carefully. This time, as long as you clear up all the unjust cases in Qandong County, I, Mr. Xu, will personally report to the emperor." Recommending you will not only exempt you and your family from the status of untouchables, but also make you a legal officer who will specialize in solving cases for our Great Xia Dynasty."
Fa Cao is a person who eats royal food and occupies the county government establishment. To be promoted from an untouchable to Fa Cao is like a little carp jumping through the dragon's gate, and the chance is almost zero.
With the guarantee from the Minister of Dali Temple, Qin Tianming felt a burst of sadness in his heart and said resolutely:
"Master Xu and County Magistrate Gao, please rest assured. If I, Qin Tianming, cannot clear up all the backlogged cases in Dong County within a hundred days, I will be willing to die! As for whether I can be promoted to the position of legal director, let's put it aside for now."
"Okay, okay! If you are ambitious, why are you still hanging around? Let's get started!"
