The man was arrested by Dali Temple and immediately thrown into prison.
This is Xiao Feng's privilege. I am afraid that no official in the Ming Dynasty can do such cross-department joint handling of cases.
Of course, this was allowed by Jiajing. At first, Jiajing thought that Xiao Feng wanted to take revenge on Liu Xia because he wanted to take revenge. He also felt that his junior brother was still young and energetic and could not stand idleness.
Or maybe the junior brother came back from the dead, and there might be some evil fire in his stomach that has not been extinguished. Therefore, Jiajing guided Xiao Feng as a pioneer in Taoism and a calm big brother.
"Junior brother, Liu Xia is just a commoner. He is used to being a clan leader in the countryside and a local bully. He doesn't know how high the sky is.
It doesn't matter if you teach him a lesson, but the crime won't lead to death. If he is killed, it won't be worth the discussion.
It would be very appropriate for you to let Liu Ruyun palm his mouth in the hall. If you did it yourself, you would be afraid of underestimating your status. "
Xiao Feng smiled and said: "Senior brother is wise, but there is a major case that I have been keeping an eye on for a long time. However, this case involves a lot and lacks evidence.
This time Liuxia happened to be a breakthrough. If what I expected is correct, there is a huge conspiracy behind this case, and it may even be an act of rebellion! "
Jiajing suddenly became vigilant, and he remembered the poem: Blocking the cold water alone!
"You can just go ahead and do it. Since it's about rebellion, you can use the Jin Yiwei and just talk to Lu Bing."
"Thank you, senior brother. I still have to keep Dali Temple in the light and Jin Yiwei in the dark for this matter.
Firstly, I am in Dali Temple and it is my duty. Secondly, the thief is cunning and uses the royal guards too early, fearing that he will alert the enemy. "
Because of this, what the Dali Temple policeman said in public about colluding with the imperial officials was all a smoke bomb. But Liu Tai was scared to death, not because of the smoke bomb, but because he guessed Xiao Feng's true purpose.
Liu Xia had long heard of the name of the prison. He knew the situation was not good when he was escorted in. He struggled and shouted loudly all the way.
"Isn't Dali Temple handling the case? Why are you taking me to prison? I don't accept it, I don't accept it!"
Half an hour later...
"I'm convinced! I'm convinced! What on earth do you want to know? I beg you, why don't you ask?"
However, the Jin Yiwei were all experienced in interrogating cases, and they received orders from Xiao Feng, but they just ignored him and just used torture.
When Liu Xia repeatedly cried and asked, "What do you want to know?", General Zhao Qi lazily answered.
"you guess."
So Liu Xia started to guess. From the first time he filed a lawsuit until he was arrested, he said whatever he could think of.
At this time, he no longer cared about what crime he would be sentenced to, he just wanted to guess correctly quickly and end the performance art of the Jinyiwei Prison Management Department.
"The first time I became a litigator was when there was a tofu-selling Widow Li in a town outside the capital. In the middle of the night, Wang Laocai's second son climbed over the wall, broke in and defiled her.
Widow Li complained to the county government. Wang Laocai's eldest son was a pawnbroker in the county government. Hearing about my reputation, he asked me to be a litigator.
I asked him to secretly change the door bolt of Widow Li's house, and then in the hall, on the grounds that there were no signs of a dagger prying on the door bolt, he said that Widow Li was a widow, had a lax household, and had committed adultery in the middle of the night.
Later, Wang Laocai's second son and Widow Li were both beaten twenty times for adultery. Widow Li hanged herself when she got home...
Ah, ah ah! Didn't I guess right? No, no, no, I said the next one, I said the next one! ! ! "
The pen in Shen Lianqi's hand that was listening and recording in the cell next door was trembling. Xiao Feng glanced at him and spoke calmly.
"This kind of thing will happen a lot in the future, not to mention now. It's just that you Jin Yiwei usually don't care about these small cases."
Shen Lian took a deep breath: "Sir, I originally didn't agree with your request for Lao Zhao to be executed first without asking questions, but now, I know your intention."
Xiao Feng nodded: "He has become so arrogant. Although Liu Tai and Yan Shifan are the backers, no one's arrogance and viciousness can be achieved overnight.
There must be something wrong with the social environment, allowing evil to continue to take advantage and kindness to suffer, and this will slowly breed a bunch of such evil people.
The case I want to ask is important, but if he can bite one more person out, the world will be less guilty and more hopeful. "
Over there, Liu Xia had already recalled his fifth case. Xiao Feng and Shen Lian were surprised to hear the name of an old acquaintance.
"Tan Xinren, the richest man in the capital and president of the Chamber of Commerce, built a new house at his home and asked craftsmen to carve the Taishi chair and other objects.
The craftsman was a master and an apprentice. The apprentice was handsome and was attracted by Tan Xinren's concubine. While Tan Xinren was out entertaining, he tried to seduce him many times, but the apprentice never dared to make a mistake.
The next day, the concubine stole a pill of Tan Xinren elixir, mixed it into the tea, and asked the apprentice to correct it on the pretext that the gum carving was wrong, and took the opportunity to let him drink tea.
After the apprentice drank the tea, the medicine took effect, and he and his concubine did good things. Unexpectedly, the passion was too much and the force was too strong. The concubine's breasts and buttocks were bruised.
I thought it would be fine in one day, but unexpectedly, Tan Xinren suddenly came home that night and wanted to make out, and he found out.
Tan Xinren was so angry that he actually had the disciple castrated on the spot! Then he sent it to Shuntian Mansion.
The Shuntian Prefecture thought that even if the two committed adultery and Tan Xinren was angry, it was clear that lynching to cut off one's descendants was too severe and should be punished.
Tan Xinren came to me because of his reputation and asked me to think of a way to accuse the apprentice of being unable to seduce him and forcing him to misbehave. In this way, his reputation would be preserved and his crime would be lighter.
I taught the concubine some words, and then asked Tan Xinren to simulate raping the concubine once. A lot of scars were added, and the original bruises made it look like a rape.
Then Tan Xinren said that he took action in anger after hearing his concubine cry. Although Shuntian Mansion had doubts, the apprentice could not prove that he was drugged, nor could he prove that the concubine took the initiative.
In addition, Tan Xinren had Zhao Wenhua's support behind him, so Guo Jun had no choice but to complain about his illness and referred the case to the Ministry of Punishment. The Ministry of Punishment finally found him guilty of forcible misconduct.
In the end, it was his master who spent many years of savings and managed everything, so he was not sentenced to exile, but only sentenced to one year in prison. But it is said that I never saw him again. Later, the apprentice disappeared. "
Shen Lian recorded it carefully and whispered to Xiao Feng: "I didn't expect that after so long, I can still hear Tan Xinren's name. It feels like it's a lifetime ago."
Xiao Feng didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he smiled faintly: "That's it."
The screams still didn't stop, and Liu Xia finally started to talk about Liutai.
"Although Master Liutai is from the same clan as the Liu family in Hexi, his branch actually left the village very early, and he never returned to Liujiazhuang after he became an official.
One month ago, he suddenly returned to Liujiazhuang and asked to recognize his ancestors and update his family tree. My father was naturally very happy. After all, this was a matter of being a third-grade minister and honoring our ancestors.
But when Mr. Liu asked to be the deputy clan leader, his father was quite hesitant, because logically, regardless of status, clan affairs can only be handled by staying in the local area for a long time.
I tried my best to bring this matter together, and Liu Taiyou offered me a large sum of money to do it. Finally, with the support of everyone, my father reluctantly agreed.
But a few days ago, Master Liu suddenly asked the clan to come forward to deal with Liu Ruyun's matter, but my father directly vetoed it.
He believed that although the Liu Lie branch came from the Liu family in Hexi, like Mr. Liu, they had already branched off and lived elsewhere and were no longer in Liujiazhuang.
Whether someone's life is good or bad has nothing to do with the clan. If someone, like Mr. Liu, takes the initiative to come back and recognize his ancestors, then that's okay, otherwise he shouldn't interfere.
Master Liu saw that his father was stubborn, so he discussed with me to bribe everyone and recommend me as the leader of the clan. Naturally, I couldn't ask for it, so I took Master Liu's silver and moved around.
When my father found out, he not only scolded me angrily, but also said that he would have a meeting to kick Mr. Liu out of the family tree. I was anxious, so I asked Master Liu to find a way.
Lord Liu sent a woman, a very tall and beautiful woman, I have never seen such a woman, that kind of beauty..."
Liutai actually swallowed his saliva while he was screaming. The Jin Yiwei who was executing the execution smiled and said, "Yes, get hard, I'll be able to strike later."
Liu Tai immediately softened and continued hurriedly: "She gave me a pill and asked me to secretly put it into my father's wine.
I was very worried, thinking it was poison. If I died of poisoning, it would be obvious. But the beautiful woman told me not to be afraid, it was not poison.
Then I pretended to repent and drank with my father. My father was very pleased to see me like this, so he drank the wine without doubting that he was there. "
A trace of regret flashed in Liu Tai's eyes, but it was fleeting and was replaced by the excitement in his memories again.
"I have never seen my father like this. He was shaking all over, his eyes were red, and he was breathing heavily. But he didn't die. It was not poison.
Then the beautiful woman came in from outside the house and helped my father into the inner room. I...I followed quietly and peeked out of the window.
My father and the woman were lingering on the bed. An old man was so brave. Just when I felt itchy and unbearable, my father suddenly collapsed on the bed.
The woman put on her clothes, smiled at me, and said, "If anyone asks, just say that your father has found a brothel girl to come to your house. It feels so comfortable." Then she left.
I was stunned for a long time before I went in to see my father. Sure enough, he was dead, but he still had a weird smile of extreme joy on his face, his whole body was twisted, and he was sweating profusely.
That night, I called everyone in the clan and asked them to witness my father's death. When they saw my father's appearance, they all believed my story.
Because my father was very respected in the clan, they never mentioned the cause of my father's death to the outside world, only saying that he died of a long life. "
The screams stopped and Liu Xia was breathing heavily. He felt that he might have guessed right. If he still didn't guess correctly, he really didn't know what to explain.
The tortured Jin Yiwei stood up and smiled at General Zhao: "Don't tell me, Lao Wang, who lived in the next cell before, was quite right. Those parts do seem to hurt. This guy explained it very quickly!"
Although Liu Xia didn't know who Lao Wang lived next door, he cursed all eight generations of Lao Wang's ancestors in his heart.
You're in jail yourself, but you still teach the jailer this kind of knowledge. Do you think the original torture methods of the prison are not to your taste? Are you a masochist or a lunatic?
Shen Lian excitedly held the confession in his hand: "Sir, can we bring down Yan Shifan this time?"
Xiao Feng shook his head: "There is too little direct evidence. If Liu Tai does not admit it, given his status, we cannot deal with him as casually as we dealt with Liu Xia.
Not to mention that the strict party will fight back crazily, even the civil service group will not stand idly by. At that time, the whole court will definitely be in chaos.
Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes. This is what Long live just said. He will not change his mind just because an ordinary old man dies. "
Shen Lian lowered his head in disappointment: "Can't you even bring down Liutai? This confession clearly..."
Only then did Shen Lian realize that although the confession was very detailed, there was almost no real effective evidence except that Liu Xia's father died in a special way.
Xiao Feng patted Shen Lian on the shoulder: "Politics and cases are two different things. There is only one truth in all cases, but politics is different.
Although this case may not convict Liu Tai, as long as Manzai believes half of it, he will be a useless waste.
Banzai may turn a blind eye to corrupt and incompetent officials, and even commit crimes, but he will never put a guy who instigates murder in the position of a senior official in the Ministry of Justice.
My purpose in investigating this case was originally for the Bliss Pill. As for Liutai, he just hugs the grass and hunts rabbits. It doesn't matter if he is allowed to jump around for a few more days. "
Some people died, but not completely...
