Bao Heitan knew that Liang Chuan had extensive experience and had many unique insights. In order to earn some living expenses, he left the Imperial College before the imperial examination and came to Kaifeng Mansion to work as a copyist. He saw a lot of these stupid cases every day, but most of them It needs to be reconciled with the slime style, otherwise it will be a big stick and a chaotic attack.
Solving crimes can only be done on the stage and in TV dramas, where screenwriters painstakingly conceive a story for the sake of interpretation. How can there be so many technical means to solve crimes in real life?
He, Cheng Lin, also studied Confucius and Mencius. To solve a case, he had to learn professional theories such as forensic science and criminal investigation. It can be said that they are irrelevant, but he can solve a damn case!
But today was really an eye-opener for him!
There are very few people who analyze and solve cases in such a wonderful, detailed and real way as Liang Chuan. It is really a great insight.
After remembering his last experience of being deceived, Bao Heitan seems to have fallen in love with solving crimes and apprehending culprits, which has a strong sense of justice!
Even Cheng Lin felt strange, when did such a prominent figure appear in Bianjing City? Looking at Liang Chuan's appearance, his appearance was plain, and his clothes were plain and unpretentious. There was no sign of the Wenquxing Lord's care, but his conversation, his knowledge, and that His calmness and confidence made him pay attention. Sooner or later, such a person will become the number one person!
Bao Heitan even lamented that if people like Liang Chuan had fame and power, it would be a blessing to the common people.
In the hall.
Today's two murders occurred not far from each other.
When the Kaifeng government officials went to the city to look for records of the sale of arsenic and frost, Liang Chuan asked Tian: "Is there anything unusual in your home at the time of the incident?"
Tian said timidly: "Someone broke into my house that day. The furnishings in my house were in a mess, as if they had been turned over."
Liang Chuan said: "There are only two possibilities for a woman's messy boudoir. One is an affair and the other is theft. It is obviously impossible for Tian to have an affair while she is pregnant. Tian, have you lost any belongings at home?"
Tian said: "A small bag of jewelry was lost, but nothing else was stolen."
Not long after, the government officials who were outside investigating and collecting evidence hurried back and reported to Cheng Lin.
Cheng Lin gave a big slap and said: "Take Qin Ming, the steward of Cai Qingchi's house."
Qin Ming had been hiding behind the crowd and paying attention to the case. When Cheng Fuyin suddenly summoned him, he was so frightened that he started to shake his feet.
The governor Cheng Lin shouted: "A married woman from the Tian family is pregnant in Liujia. She can't go out or step forward. What's the use of buying poisons like that? The Chinese medicine shop in the city told me that you are the only one in the Cai family who has bought arsenic and frost. You said you wanted to use it to poison rats." , Tian Xiao'e has no motive for committing the crime, she is bold and cunning, and you will not be punished!"
Liang Chuan added: "Sir, I have a bold guess that the mastermind behind this drug should be the wife of the Cai family!"
Qin Ming? Big lady? Which song is this from?
There are more and more characters in the hall, appearing one after another. What role each plays makes Monk Zhanger confused!
Qin Ming threw himself on the ground and said with his head buried in his chest: "Sir, I did this alone and it has nothing to do with my eldest lady!"
"I have watched my young lady grow up. He has been depressed since he entered the Cai family. He has also been looked down upon by the Cai family because he has no children. I see it in my eyes and see that he has to be the last to fill the house. In the future, he will still be the first to succeed. Is there a way for my young lady to survive? I remembered that I still had some arsenic and frost when I poisoned the rat, so I wanted to use it in the porridge she ate to make her abort the fetus..."
Everyone was sighing, it turned out that what they were singing was this drama of fighting for favor and supremacy!
Out of jealousy and hatred, the eldest lady oppressed the concubine, and everyone was shocked to realize it!
What a complicated family feud. This is not a noble family. If it were that kind of wealthy family, the overt and covert fights would be even more terrifying! This little person from Qin Ming fought so hard for his mistress. In the eyes of these outsiders, they all felt worthless for this servant!
Qin Ming was telling about the grievances of their Cai family, while Liang Chuan walked to Yang Ercai quietly, and Cheng Lin's eyes were also attracted to him.
Liang Chuan knelt down alone amidst everyone's discussion and pressed on Yang Ercai's body. There were some hard objects in his arms.
Liang Chuan said: "My lord, let's search Yang Eryou's belongings. Maybe there will be a breakthrough."
Under the instruction, the yamen officer found a bag of jewelry from Yang Ercai's arms.
What Tian lost!
Everyone, including Qin Ming and Tian Shi, was shocked. Isn't this Tian's own stolen jewelry? Why is it happening to Yang Ercai!
Liang Chuan asked Qin Mingdao: "Manager Qin, when you gave the porridge to Mrs. Tian to eat, was Tian's boudoir stolen?"
Qin Ming said tremblingly: "My servants sent me to Tian's room at that time. I didn't hear anything strange!"
Liang Chuan said: "Manager Qin, do any of your family members have any old health problems in the past?"
Qin Mingdao: "Yuanwai, he has been suffering from heartache for many years and has been relying on medicine to survive."
Liang Chuan smiled with satisfaction and said loudly to Cheng Lin: "Sir, the facts of the case should be very clear. According to the common people's inference, these are not two murders, but one murder by chance."
The common people were in a state of shock. Manager Cai, who was watching Liang Chuan's performance the whole time, was secretly shocked.
If this Tian family hadn't killed his cousin, then this matter would have to be settled again.
Cheng Lin also frowned and said, "Tell me carefully."
Liang Chuan said: "Yang Ercai broke into Cai's house and stole Tian's jewelry. He also found porridge in the house. This porridge was intended by Qin Ming to poison Tian. Yang Ercai ate it all in one gulp, and then walked out of the woods. He slipped out, but unfortunately he was poisoned, and Yang Dayan was also unlucky. In one blow, the two forces killed Yang Ercai on the spot. As for Cai Qingchi, in my opinion, it was his own heartache, otherwise if If you eat arsenic or frost, you will definitely die exactly like Yang Eryou."
Although this statement is very far-fetched, it is the only reasonable explanation based on the current evidence. Otherwise, how will these lives be calculated? If the steward of the Ding family really forces the pregnant Tian to death in front of the court, if If you decide the case in such a confused manner, you will only arouse public outrage!
This guy is a talent!
The ancient model of judging cases is indeed different from the modern model of investigation and trial that relies on the chain of evidence. As long as a case can be explained and there are no contradictions in it, the people can accept this kind of conclusion. The so-called judgment is not the truth but the public opinion!
Will ordinary people care about who is the real murderer in this matter? What they want is innocent peace, good people will be rewarded, bad people will be punished, everyone will be happy, that's all! To them, this is more of a drama than a case!
As an old political fox, Cheng Lin naturally knew the importance of following the wishes of Manager Cai of the Ding Prefecture and the wishes of the common people. She was overjoyed. Liang Chuan's reasoning was so consistent that there was no room for refutation.
In the case of the Gourd Monk breaking the gourd in court, according to Liang Chuan's words, Yang Dayan was only sentenced to a few strokes of the cane. Tian was released in court without charge. Qin Ming attempted murder, and Yang Ercai's negligence caused Yang Ercai's death from poison, and was sentenced to exile.
The murderer Qin Ming was loyal to his mother-in-law, while the second criminal Yang Dayan had an impromptu idea. The innocent Tian was just a poor concubine and did not deserve to die. The only unlucky person was Yang Ercai, who broke into the house to steal, but he took all the blame even though he was not guilty of death. .
Everyone is really happy!
Two seemingly unrelated cases were declared solved because of Liang Chuan's gaffe. The people were talking about it, this guy is really a good guy, he has some skills! What is the origin? It's a pity that such a person is not an official!
To be honest, even Manager Cai of the Ding Mansion was convinced by this conclusion. He had no temper at all. The attitude of the people said it all!
Manager Cai snorted angrily and said, "Let's go!" Several servants helped carry Cai Qingchi's body and left, looking at Liang Chuan with hatred in their eyes.
After Bao Heitan memorized the whole process, a piece of tongue soaked in ink turned completely black. Regardless of the image, he happily rushed to Liang Chuan and said to Liang Chuan: "Brother Liang, we have a good fate!"
Liang Chuan thought to himself, kid, you will also become the governor of Kaifeng in the future. This is your territory, I am just passing by.
Liang Chuan said, "Yes, I happened to be passing by. Come in and take a look. Why don't you go to the Imperial College?"
Bao Heitan said: "I received a lot of money from you that day, but I don't want to just sit there and earn some hard-earned money. Lord Cheng just likes me, so I'll come and get some things."
Cheng Lin called Liang Chuan to him and asked about Liang Chuan's origins. This boy was definitely not a thing in the pond. Even Bao Zheng knew it!
Cheng Lin kindly invited Liang Chuan to stay in Kaifeng Mansion and find a half-time job. Such talents are rare.
This was just a way to catch up while passing by. Of course, Liang Chuan declined Cheng Lin's invitation. He still had a mission and was not here to work. He had experienced a lot of things in this high-walled compound before, so if he did well, Wan If you do something wrong and offend the leader, you will have to live in pain.
Ding Mansion, Ma Xing Street.
Guanshi Cai returned to the mansion angrily, and happened to meet Ding Wei who had returned to the mansion after retreating from the court.
Ding Wei glanced at him and asked tepidly: "What? You have been with me for so long and you don't know the word "quiet"?
When Manager Cai met Ding Wei, he kept his posture very low, with his waist so low that it was almost touching the ground. Today, he had offended the family of Ding, the counselor and political advisor, and he would probably not be able to escape after being scolded.
Ding Wei was in his prime at this time, his beard and hair were still bright black, and his eyes concealed endless sophistication. His eyes seemed to have eye diseases, and he looked up squintingly, like a person who was often hungry and cold. In terms of fortune telling, This is called a monkey shape.
Although they are blessed with wealth and a bright future, they are not destined to enjoy a happy life.
At this time, Ding Wei had no expression on his face. He was looking at the parasol trees in the yard with his hands behind his back.
Manager Cai didn't dare to hide anything. He went through today's trial in detail with sweat. He deliberately highlighted how Cheng Lin, the bird official, did not take the government office seriously and tried to provoke him. In his opinion, The little guy like Liang Chuan was not worthy of speaking out of his mouth. The one who offended him was Cheng Lin, and he would feel embarrassed if he couldn't let this bad breath come out.
When Ding Wei heard Cheng Lin's behavior, he just raised his eyebrows inadvertently, but after hearing Liang Chuan's actions, his eyes suddenly shot out a ray of light, and he said to Manager Cai: "What is the origin of this person? Did he have any trouble with someone before?" ?”
The more expressionless Mr. Ding's face is, the more unhappy he is.
This is Guanshi Cai's understanding of Ding Wei.
Unexpectedly, his focus was not on Cheng Fuyin, but on that cowardly pariah.
Manager Cai said: "I don't know anything about him. I only know that his name is very simple. It's called Liang Chuan. I'm afraid it's not his real name."
Liang Chuan, Ding Wei read the name twice and remembered it in his mind.
"Let's go around Kaifeng Mansion again. If we can find this person, bring him back. I want to get to know this smart man."
Ding said that he is also a smart person. There is always a kind of mutual attraction between smart people, which is called sympathy.
Manager Cai was dumbfounded. What did this mean? Master Ding seemed to admire him very much. Could it be that he shot himself in the foot?
"Um?"
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
Ding said that this person likes to form small groups. Not only does he have to have a backer and an organization, but Wang Qinruo, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and one of the Five Ghosts, was on the same boat with him at the beginning. It's just that these high-ranking officials have their own calculations. They plan to the end for their own interests. A ship will be cut in half, and now the two of them are separated.
After all, there is only one position for the prime minister!
Ding said that it is difficult to find allies in the current position he is in. He has to rely on himself for most everything, and he has no time to do anything else. What he lacks the most is reliable and capable people. Talents like Liang Chuan are what he needs.
No money, no power, no success! The best people to keep in a cage are people like this!
As soon as Liang Chuan came out of Kaifeng Mansion, he was discovered by the servants of Ding Mansion within two streets. Manager Cai reported Mr. Ding's warm invitation. Ding said that this person is also quite famous. He has a famous idiom - -Flattery was created by Mr. Ding.
This was originally a trivial matter, but this group of colleagues were all highly educated people, so how could they endure such naked horse-playing competition? As a result, the superiors were unhappy and their subordinates were humiliated. The historians were happiest because they could write a big book about it!
This encounter became a shadow that could never be erased in Ding Wei's life. The two formed a rift and made the world see Ding Wei's character.
Ding Wei is really famous!
Liang Chuan knew Ding Wei's background and what Ding Wei meant to him. If he wanted to embarrass himself, he would have a bigger headache than facing Zhao Zong'e. If he could help him. . It is much easier to deal with these Zhao clan members. .
He asked himself that he had no reason not to go. It was no joke that this person did not give him face and made him hold a grudge.
Moreover, I plan to develop in Bianjing in the future. If I have the shadow of Master Ding, I should be able to save a lot of trouble.
The most important thing is that Liang Chuan has this intention in his heart. Fighting fire with fire is a good way!
