Liang Chuan was actually very helpless. If he used his method of solving crimes to determine the facts in his original work, he would not be able to get through the legal review alone.
Because there are too many loopholes in these cases, Liang Chuan has no way of knowing the truth. He only promised these prisoners to help them reduce their sentences. Even if he could not get away with the crime, he did his best.
There are all kinds of cases involving more than 20 prisoners. Liang Chuan can't tell all the methods to solve the cases, but he can find the flaws and breakthroughs in the cases. He can't argue for innocence, but it's more than enough to argue for minor crimes.
For example, there was a prisoner named Cai Yuanyang among the prisoners. His neighbor had been away for many years. When he came back, he found that his wife was missing. The neighbor was angry and reported it to the police. The police found the body in the well of Cai Yuanyang's home. When the body was picked up, the body was highly decomposed.
It stands to reason that the body was no longer human, but the neighbor still hugged it and determined that it was his wife without even a DNA test.
When the neighbor saw the body, he cried bitterly and shouted that his wife died tragically and unjustly. Because the man next door was away all year round and his body was found in Cai's well, Cai Yuanyang became the first suspect. However, this case was like a headless fly, and Cai Yuanyang was also a tough guy. He gritted his teeth and refused to admit the crime.
This time Liang Chuan recruited sailors, Cai Yuanyang met Liang Chuan by chance, and actually found a glimmer of hope for himself!
Liang Chuan immediately pointed out the strangeness in this case. Since the body was highly decomposed, how could the husband of the deceased recognize the deceased at a glance?
Often things that seem seamless and commonplace turn out to be the opposite during criminal investigation! The murderer's behavior is often intentional, deliberately guiding the investigators' thinking!
If it was really Cai Yuanyang, why did he throw the body in the well of his home? The ancients paid attention to Feng Shui, and the well was an important Feng Shui location. Isn't there three hundred taels of silver in this place? Why did Cai Yuanyang do this?
The complicated and confusing cases were just touched by Liang Chuan. Whenever there was a slight flaw, Gao Chun asked his subordinates to take note of it carefully. He would present these clues to Mr. Zhao in the future. It would be a great achievement to not be prosperous and wealthy.
The prisoners received Liang Chuan's guidance and even thanked him profusely. This was their only hope for reincarnation. Even if there is only the slightest flaw, when the case is submitted to the Bianjing Criminal Department for review in the future, it will be their chance of survival.
Liang Chuan drank a glass of wine after hearing a case, and he drank up a jar of eighteen-year-old wine.
Liang Zao didn't drink alcohol today but he was sober. He praised Liang Chuan for having the brilliance of Pang Shiyuan's trial in Leiyang back then. He solved hundreds of cases in one day and made the big boss Zhang fall into submission. Today Liang Chuanlang also opened the eyes of these big bosses. , the unsolved cases that several governors were helpless in Liang Chuan's mouth were like storytellers, and he could pick them up at random.
Gao Chun finally said: "No wonder my eldest brother said that you, Sanlang, are not a thing in the pool. I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it. It is our honor to make friends with you as a brother and have dinner with you at the same table."
Si Fangxing also said: "That's right, I'm afraid that this small temple in Qingyuan can't accommodate a big Buddha like you. If you become successful in the future, don't forget to support us brothers. I have no ability and can only live in this quagmire." Swirling around."
Liang Chuan waved his hands repeatedly. He did not dare to show off in front of these local snakes. As long as he was still standing at the bottom of society, he would always look up to them and there would be no room for negotiation.
Yi Niang asked Xiaochai to boil a pot of sugar water, boil hot water and scald towels. She also knew that Liang Chuan and several brothers were having a celebration banquet that night, and they would not stop until they made the whole place dizzy.
Liang Chuan really did not return home until late at night, but unlike what he imagined, Liang Chuan only smelled faintly of alcohol and was sober. There was no strong smell of vomiting or the pungent smell of powder.
"Didn't you go to have flower wine tonight?" Yi Niang asked in surprise.
"Oh, don't mention it." Liang Chuan said with a bitter smile: "It was originally about drinking flower wine, but in the end it turned out to be a case in court. It's just that there is no reason to go to court in the middle of the night after a case is being tried..."
Liang Chuan narrated the whole process of solving the case that night, and Yi Niang was surprised when she heard it. She thought that solving cases was something that the knowledgeable magistrate only did after being shocked. How could her husband be so good at it? .
No wonder.
Ye Xiaochai brought sugar water, but Liang Chuan made another basin of hot water to wash Yi Niang's feet. The alcohol content of rice wine is not high, so drinking rice wine is no different from drinking a drink, so there is no need to sober up.
Yi Niang obediently stretched out her feet for her man to hold. Liang Chuan also wanted to laugh when he said it. In this era, he might be the only one who thinks it is natural to wash his wife's feet.
"I feel that even a prosperous place like Qingyuan cannot accommodate you. You belong to a wider world. Your wings are getting fuller and fuller and cannot be folded in a place like this. The world is so big that you should fly freely."
Yi Niang suddenly said something without thinking, as if she was speaking to Liang Chuan, but also to herself.
Liang Chuan picked up a handful of water, drained it completely between his fingers, and said with a smile: "The world outside is beautiful, and the place with you is my home."
Yi Niang said warmly: "I can't accompany you to fly, but I will let you have a good place to live when you come back from flying."
"Let's set off back to Fengshan tomorrow." Liang Chuan said.
"I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow. Miss Zheng, then you can't ignore her. I have never seen a woman so motivated and doing better business than you. Can she be able to sustain this situation if you leave?" Yi Niang suddenly asked again When it came to Zheng Ruoying, he felt nervous.
I almost forgot that only I know those three secret recipes. If I walk away, the situation that Ruoying has just started will really come to an end.
"Also, in the afternoon, the Pu family master sent someone to deliver the money and the land deed. He said that you were willing to admit defeat in the bet with him. He asked us to go to Zhuangzi tomorrow with the land deed to deliver the goods. Can you still leave? You When will you be able to gamble again? Even if you have a fortune and become addicted to gambling, you will be a useless person. Do you remember the child from Mr. Baozheng’s family? He has been afraid to go back to his family all these years just because he has become addicted to gambling? "
Liang Chuan smiled wryly, how could he explain this to Yi Niang? It was as if Lao Guang had read the words over again. Do he have to start from the beginning again? Ignore him and go to bed after a tiring day.
The next day, Yelv Chongguang cleverly prepared a carriage and waited outside the store. Liang Chuan was just thinking about how to help Zheng Ruoying overcome the problem, but he didn't expect to bump into this kid, so he went to collect some money from Zhuangzi first. Bar.
The carriage swayed towards the border of Fengzhou.
Yelv Chongguang was overjoyed in the car, and Liang Chuan could see that he was smiling with his face behind his back.
"Your brothers must have made a lot of money yesterday."
Yelv Chongguang had long been looking forward to Liang Chuan asking him about this. He was as anxious as ants crawling in his heart, and said hurriedly: "Yesterday, those brats who had never seen the money went to the gambling stall to exchange their money without any delay. , one of the two families saw our face and wanted to cheat on us, but we all mobilized and almost defeated them, so they honestly gave us the money."
Liang Chuan was happy for them from the bottom of his heart. Death was not terrible, poverty was terrible. Life was worse than death.
"Just make money, be careful in everything, and don't be too ostentatious about anything."
"Yes, boss, I listen to you." Yelu Zhongguang said sincerely, "By the way, boss, the brothers said they would honor you with their money... They said that without your plan, they wouldn't be able to make so much money this time."
Liang Chuan sneered and said: "Are you used to being plundered by others? Don't bring your past bad habits to me. I think you are guilty of evil. If I let you make some money, you can keep it well. I will use the money in the future. We have a lot of time, but we don’t have this kind of opportunity every day for you to make this kind of quick money!”
Yelu Zhongguang's waist and neck tightened when he heard this. He was indeed a little worried that Liang Chuan was jealous of how much money they made in private. The dark history of the past was still vivid in his mind, and Liang Chuan was trying to squeeze them dry. . Although Yelv Chongguang knew that Liang Chuan was not such a person, his subordinates did not believe him.
After hearing Liang Chuan's words, Yelv Zhongguang finally felt a stone fall in his heart.
This time he also made a lot of money. Losing 30 for every one made him really wealthy. It was the first time in his life that he saw so much money. His hands were shaking a little when holding the money. As usual, this The only reason he could keep any money was because his superiors took care of him.
Liang Chuan didn't want a cent.
Yelu Zhongguang said: "I checked this Zhuangzi in my boss's house. It's a bit interesting. Do you know who is next to Zhuangzi?"
"who?"
"It's the Huang family who lost to you on the dragon boat."
Oh, Liang Chuan is a little surprised. It's not that enemies don't get together, but they have to be neighbors in the future. This is fun.
"We have played with him once, and we can play with him a second time and a third time. As long as he wants to live a peaceful life, he has to lie down. I plan to let your brothers live in this village from now on, with more than three hundred acres of land. The food grown alone is enough to feed and drink dozens of you brothers and their families. If you don’t come here all, let’s come half, lest everyone is left in the city. If the city gate is sealed, we will lose all our eggs in a basket. .”
Liang Chuan thought carefully. He not only settled these tigers and wolves, but also managed Zhuangzi. This can be regarded as his own base in the future. Not to mention how capable the man surnamed Huang is, if he doesn't annoy these Khitan people one day, there will probably be nowhere to find the corpse.
What a waste of worry, this man named Huang should be worried about himself.
Liang Chuan wandered around Fengzhou for a while and then set off back. Yelu Zhongguang thought the same as Liang Chuan. It turned out that they had all the people around him, and the worst fear was that they would be taken over by others. Now it is equivalent to developing a By sharing the helm, the risk is reduced by half.
Gao Chun's wife, Mrs. Liu, happened to have just come out of heaven and earth. When Liang Chuan met her, he could see that this woman, whom he hadn't seen for more than half a month, seemed to be a different person. She was much whiter and her figure seemed to have become thinner.
