Concubine Ben Duojiao [Powerful Nation System]

Hearing this, Chen Ajiao finally couldn't help sneering: "County Yin is wrong, ignoring the laws of the country can't be settled by one person, you need to kill nine clans. The concubine feels that the magistrate Yin is too lenient in his sentence. It does not conform to the laws of the Han Dynasty."

When County Magistrate Yin saw her standing up, he thought it was another one who came to make trouble, but he didn't want to come to speak for him, so he immediately beamed with joy: "Young lady is beautiful and more sensible. That's true, alas, I'm always kind-hearted. "

"County Yin's magistrate praised me a lot. I had learned several laws and regulations from my father, but today I found out that this disregard of the national law was not a sign of disobedience or disobedience, but a rebuttal to Yin County. Ling. Well, I really have been educated." Chen Ajiao said unhurriedly, "It's just County Magistrate Yin, how can he convince the public if he is sentenced without a certificate? The final decision of this case must be decided by Lu Gong, right? To avoid suspicion, the case was handed over to the county magistrate for trial, but if the final result cannot satisfy Duke Lu..."

"Shut up!" The magistrate of Yin County arrived immediately, "I enforce the law impartially, aunt... How can Duke Lu blame me? You are just a woman and child, and you know the laws of the Han Dynasty? The law of the country is me, and I am the law of this country. ! I'm talking about Han law!"

Liu Che laughed angrily at his arrogant words: "I just found out today that County Magistrate Yin is the law of this country."

absurd!This world has a surname of Liu, but not a surname of Yin, this person is simply extremely arrogant!Luckily, Liu Che held back and had someone arrest him on the spot.Only this beam is completely settled.

"I don't care about other places. In this Lingbao County, I am the law of the country!" County Magistrate Yin was furious at Liu Che, "Come here, arrest him!"

Zhou Bowen couldn't help putting his hands on the saber at his waist, even Yan Qing did the same.

Chen Ajiao smiled: "It seems that my husband is bound to die?"

"Ignore the laws of the country, and die," Yin County Magistrate said, "But you, my lady, can not be implicated by it..."

As soon as these words came out, both Zhou Bowen and Yan Qing couldn't help drawing out their swords.Needless to say, Liu Che would have rushed up to give him two slaps if Chen Ajiao hadn't grabbed his hand.

"No, please ask the county magistrate to enforce the law impartially and exterminate my husband's nine clans." Chen Ajiao smiled, "After all, the law of the country is above everything else. Oh, by the way, County magistrate Yin must not know where my husband's family is, so he might as well let me He is also a law-abiding person, so we told the magistrate Yin together. My husband's surname is Chen Mingxu, and he lives in the Tangyihou's mansion in Chang'an City."

At the beginning, County Magistrate Yin listened very pleasantly, but when he heard the last sentence, he broke into a cold sweat with fright: "Chang...Chang'an City?"

"The Mansion of the Marquis of Tangyi in Chang'an City," Chen Ajiao added enthusiastically, "Oh, the Marquis of Tangyi and Princess Guantao didn't even come out of the three clans. County Magistrate Yin, you must enforce the law impartially and punish them severely."

"Mother!" County magistrate Yin almost fell down in fright. He tried to calm down and walked up to Liu Che, "You can't recognize the royal relatives indiscriminately. Be careful to add more crimes to your crimes."

Chen Ajiao unhurriedly took out the identity card of Princess Guantao's son from her bosom, which belonged to her.But the royal mark on her can't be faked.

The county magistrate Yin took it over and took a look, but he couldn't see anything wrong, and suddenly sweated all over his body: Is he easy?Finally, he had the opportunity to come to Lingbao County to show his face to try the case. After the trial, he will be very successful in the future.Just as it was confirmed that Song Lian was the sinner, Song Biejia came back, and just as he confirmed that Zhang Xin was the murderer, Zhang Gongcao asked someone to tell him that he was willing to exchange the life of his concubine for his eldest son Zhouquan.

Just when he was about to hand down the verdict, a little brother popped up out of nowhere and asked him for evidence.Finally, he cut through the mess with a quick knife, and just kept on convicting this little brother.But it turns out that this little brother is the son of the eldest sister of His Majesty, the elder brother of the current Crown Princess... and the most terrible thing is that he still claims that he is the law of the country in front of the orthodox royal relatives!

It's really not easy to be an official!

County Magistrate Yin silently shed a handful of tears for himself: "I just misremembered, Mr. Chen, what you said is correct, innocent and innocent, please ask Mr. Chen to rest."

As soon as this remark came out, the common people all understood. Just now they thought that the county magistrate Yin judged the case quickly and without sloppiness. After several times of his rebuttal, he also understood what kind of virtue he is.They couldn't help booing.

At this time, Liu Che falsely used Chen Yu's name, so he put on airs: "Didn't Magistrate Yin say that he is the law of the country? I have been traveling for a while and I am about to return to Beijing. Why don't Magistrate Yin come with me when the time comes?" Going together? It just so happens that we can introduce County Magistrate Yin. Presumably His Majesty also wants to see this living law of the country very much."

County magistrate Yin was sweating profusely, and was afraid that he would lose face by pleading at this time, so he said in a low voice: "Mr. A matter of loyalty. Zhang Gongcao just sent someone to tell me that he is willing to exchange the life of his concubine son for his eldest son Zhouquan, so that the case can be settled quickly. You see, all fathers have said so, and I can only Help him. After all, there are as many concubines as there are, but it is not easy to get a concubine."

Liu Che laughed angrily: The concubine of feelings was born to take the blame for his concubine?Does he have to be thankful that his father doesn't favor and trust Bo, otherwise, according to the logic of County Magistrate Yin, wouldn't he be damned?

Chen Ajiao suddenly raised her voice and said: "It seems that Zhang Gongcao knows something. The death of the lady of the Lu family may have something to do with Zhang Xin. Otherwise, how could he beg the magistrate Yin to use his own concubine for a lifetime?" Life in exchange for the eldest son Zhouquan?"

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd went into an uproar.There was only one Zhang Xin, but he snorted coldly: "I didn't harm A Ping, if I did, I would die myself, and use their hypocrisy to make me owe that cheap. What kind of favor?"

"My husband and I are just passing by here, so let's leave now, and please county magistrate Yin to enforce the law impartially!" Seeing that the scene was lively enough, Chen Ajiao cupped her hands, and then left hand in hand with Liu Che.

----

Zhou Bowen endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say: "Madam, didn't you say that we should keep a low profile? Then why borrow Mr. Chen Erlang's name?"

"Yeah, and, why did you say the last sentence for everyone to hear?" Yan Qing couldn't help it either.

"I thought you wouldn't know how to ask," Chen Ajiao smiled, "You have to ask the prince about this."

Liu Che smiled: "I couldn't hold myself back, so naturally I couldn't ignore it. I borrowed the name of my second brother, but they can easily find out about my brother's travels abroad. Second, Sister Gillian happens to have a token of my aunt on her body." That's all. As for what Sister Gillian wants to say out loud, maybe it's not for the common people, but for Duke Lu."

Chen Ajiao listened carefully from the side, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Liu Che is only 15 years old now, and he can be so clear.This really can only be explained by talent.

After Liu Che finished speaking, Zhou Bowen and Yan Qing both sighed in admiration, their eyes filled with admiration.

"However, I'm afraid we won't be so comfortable in the future," Chen Ajiao said, "I have lost face to that Zhang Gongcao today, and I don't know how to deal with us. Tiger poison doesn't eat children, but he even kills his own son." It can be taken out to make up for the crime."

"I just feel sorry for that Zhang Wu, who just lost his wife and was pushed out by his father to cover his brother's crimes. The two of you don't know," Zhou Bowen said angrily, "I have already found out clearly that the Lu family's wife got married that day. , Mr. Song's family suddenly appeared and wanted to snatch the marriage, and fought with Zhang Wu. Zhang Xin took advantage of the latter and kidnapped the Lu family's wife. Zhang Gongcao suddenly appeared and asked Zhang Xin to put down the Lu family's wife. While talking, Lu The wife of the family suddenly died of bleeding from the seven orifices. But Zhang Wu carried the dead wife of the Lu family, mounted a horse and returned to the mansion to pay homage, and then locked himself and the body of the wife of the Lu family into the new house for three days. It is said that he cried for three days without sleep or sleep. Food."

When Liu Che and Yan Qing heard this, they couldn't help feeling sorry for each other, and they both sighed, "how deep is the love".

"The lady of the Lu family bled to death in Zhang Xin's arms?" Chen Ajiao asked suddenly.

Zhou Bowen was startled, and hurriedly said: "Yes, it is said that many people saw it at that time."

"That is to say, at that time only Zhang Xin and Mrs. Lu's family were riding on the horse, while the rest were off the horse?" Chen Ajiao said thoughtfully.

"Sister Gillian, what did you find?" Liu Che asked quickly.

"There is a question. They love the lady of the Lu family so much, so why did they allow her to stay on the horse with Zhang Xin?" Chen Ajiao said, "Of course, it may be to prevent her from being accidentally injured, but I always feel that there is something wrong. Places are being ignored."

What was it that was overlooked?

----

Lingbao County Prefect's Mansion.

Lu Gong glanced at Mrs. Lu who kept crying, and felt his head was as big as a bucket. He waved his hand and took the butler out: "What is the conclusion of the trial in the courtroom today?"

The housekeeper immediately came to talk one by one in a low voice, and at the end, Duke Lu couldn't help but sigh: "Don't tell Madam about this. Go and find out where Mr. Chen's family lives. Prepare a gift, I want Go and meet Mr. Chen's family in person."

"No." The butler replied, and finally couldn't help but say, "Ma'am, that natal nephew is very unbearable, how can anyone try a case like this? It was a joke out of thin air, and now everyone is surprised, why is the prefect so special to you?" It is impossible to transfer him to try this case."

Duke Lu sighed: "If you ask him to come to the study, I must beat him."

He can't try this case by himself, and the only thing his wife trusts most is this nephew. Although he is unworthy, it is still feasible to call him over to reprimand him, beat him, and act as a facade.

Duke Lu still can't figure it out, it is obviously a great joy, how could it be a white-haired man giving a black-haired man in an instant?

----

Chen Ajiao has seen a lot of strategies for governing the country.Liu Che also learned a lot.But this is the first time they have come into contact with this case-solving matter.

That's why when Lu Gong stood in front of them, begging them to help investigate the case together.The two of them just felt a little dizzy: the case was intricate and complicated. At first glance, everyone seemed to have a motive for committing the crime, but when they thought about it carefully, they felt that there was no tenable reason.

Although it is natural for people to draw their swords to help each other when seeing injustice, but if they do not have the ability to draw their swords, I am afraid that the more they help, the more busy they will be.

Liu Che glanced at Chen Ajiao, saw her nodding slightly, and declined politely: "My party is just passing through Gui County, and I don't intend to stay long, and I'm white, so there's no reason to investigate the case rashly, I'm afraid it won't be convincing. .As a son, it is not appropriate for parents to travel far away, let alone borrow the name of my father and mother."

Lu Gong sighed: "A certain woman is seventy-five now, and I got this girl when I was forty, but I didn't want to, alas! It's such a happy day, but a white-haired man sent a black-haired man. It's ridiculous that I am the local prefect. To avoid suspicion, I also preconceived I have slandered a good person, so I can only ask other officials to help in the trial. Unfortunately, County Magistrate Yin is an incompetent person. If he continues to sentence him indiscriminately, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to avenge Aping, but he will also harm the good person. .”

"Duke Lu," Zhou Bowen couldn't help but said, "Dare to ask Mr. Lu, why must the magistrate of Yin County come to hear this case? Could it be that under the rule of Lingbao County, there is no reliable county magistrate?"

Lu Gong's face froze, and he sighed after a long while: "To be honest, the full name of Yin County Magistrate is Yin Zhong, and he is my wife's natal nephew. My wife has been asking for so much, and I only think that he is the most reliable to have a trial. I Really, can't say."

"Dare to ask Duke Lu." Liu Che suddenly remembered something, "Why do you have a girl in your [-]s?"

Lu Gong's face suddenly changed, and after a while he said: "Actually, I once had a son."

He said again: "Now I come to see you with this old face, just because I already knew about the refutation of the magistrate Yin in the court that day. Therefore, I think that maybe only the gentleman can seek justice for the little girl." .I have been an official for 12 years, conscientious and conscientious, and never dared to pollute the common people. Now that my only daughter has suffered such a disaster, I hope that my husband will take pity on me when I am old and lonely, and help me when I die without a child."

"Duke Lu's reputation as a clean and honest official can be seen from the people's praise for you," Chen Ajiao said, "If I can help, I will certainly not stand idly by, but Duke Lu, although my husband is willing to help you, he will not help you." Dare to use the name of parents. In this way, Fulang is white and nameless, if he wants to help, what kind of reputation should he use? I hope the eunuch can give you some pointers."

Duke Lu was startled, and then nodded: "I was wrong. I forgot to tell my lord that Song Biejia will be resting for a while due to illness. I have already negotiated with him. He will recommend you to take his place temporarily. In addition, there is County Magistrate Yin, I have talked to him, and he will obey your summons after that. Finally, there is the best and best workman in Lingbao County."

There were tears in Lu Gong's eyes: "A Ping's body was inspected by him. He will also fully obey the command of your lord."

Chen Ajiao exchanged glances with Liu Che, then nodded: "If my husband agrees, can I ask Prefect Lu to promise us three things?"

Duke Lu was overjoyed, and immediately nodded in agreement: "Madam, please tell me."

"Firstly, my husband is not a person who likes fame, can the eunuch please keep my husband's identity and name secret?" Chen Ajiao said.

Duke Lu frowned and nodded, "No problem."

"Secondly, if my husband needs to ask questions with Zhang Gongcao or Song Biejia, or other officials and their families, please give Fulang the right to tell the truth," Chen Ajiao added, " Oh, and you have to be answerable, too."

Duke Lu hesitated a little, but finally nodded: "I will tell them. What is the third request of Madam?"

"The third requirement is that our methods of investigating cases may be very different from others, so we must not interfere with us." Chen Ajiao said.

"That's easy," Lu Gong nodded immediately, "It's just madam, I also need a time limit. A Ping has been away for five days. To comfort the dead, I want a time limit. I don't know if Mr. Is the case cleared up?"

Chen Ajiao was about to refuse, but Liu Che nodded: "No problem."

Chen Ajiao had no choice but to interface: "My husband said it's okay, I'll give the eunuch a satisfactory answer within five days, but the eunuch, you just mentioned that you once had a son, I wonder if you can tell me about it?" Wait a minute: Where has that son gone now?"

Lu Gong's face froze completely, and after a while he said: "What does A Ping's accident have to do with her younger brother? Her younger brother disappeared 12 years ago."

"12 years ago?" Chen Ajiao was startled, "12 years ago, Duke Lu came to Lingbao County from other places to take up his post. A native of the county. I heard that Song Biejia’s son was engaged to Lu Gong’s daughter since childhood, could it be that the engagement date was also 12 years ago?”

Lu Gong was startled: "A Ping and Song Lian got engaged not long after I took office. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"It's not wrong, it's just that there are too many coincidences," Liu Che said, "Mr. Lu, how did the boy among the twins get lost? Is there any special mark on him that can be recognized?"

"Back then..." Lu Gong fell into memory, "I am the son of a poor family in Yingchuan. I have studied poetry and books since I was young, but I have no way to become an official. Fortunately, my wife took care of me and was willing to marry me. Unexpectedly, just after I got married, I When my mother was seriously ill, three years later, my mother died. I kept my filial piety for more than two years, and my father died again. Years later, my wife gave birth to twins, a dragon and a phoenix. One is called Ping, and the other is called Xing."

"These two brothers and sisters are very smart, and maybe it's because of the luck of the times. Since I got them, my official career has also improved. In another five years, when there was a vacancy in Lingbao County, the whole family left. Come." Lu Gong said, "But I don't want to leave my hometown this time, but it will make me lose my only son."

"I still remember that it was Kuxia at that time. In order to rush to the post, my wife and I drove a carriage and brought four servants from Yingchuan Wanglingbao County. Don't drive is the deputy of the prefect. , In fact, the county magistrate can compare? I am also a fan of officials. In order to be able to get a special post in Lingbao County, I still urged me to go when A Ping was seriously ill," Lu Gongyan couldn't help sighing "Finally, when I was in Weinan County, Aping couldn't hold on any longer, and my wife had a big fight with me. I insisted on staying in Weinan County and seeking medical treatment for Aping."

"However, at this moment," Duke Lu smiled wryly, "none of us noticed that Ah Xing, who has always been the most obedient and sensible, suddenly disappeared."

"Weinan County." Chen Ajiao suddenly felt that this place was very familiar, not only because they had just passed by Weinan County, but also as if they had heard of it somewhere...

Liu Che looked at Chen Ajiao, opened his mouth, and silently uttered two words: Lanlian.

That's right, Lu Gongna's concubine said in court that she was from Weinan County.

"After Ah Xing went missing, I tried to make people look for it, but to no avail. Too much time has been spent by now, and Ah Ping's body has recovered, but Ah Xing has never been found. As for the other seat, only I'm afraid I won't be free for a long time..." Lu Gong sighed.

"So you chose to go to Lingbao County first?" Liu Che asked.

Lu Gong nodded: "After all, Lingbao County is not too far away from Weinan County. I thought that if I did another car, I would definitely have more people to find Ah Xing, but I didn't want to. It took 12 years to find him. .”

"If Duke Lu wants to find that gentleman, there must be some signs to look for." Liu Che asked.

Lu Gong nodded: "They are twins, and they also have some similarities. Axing and Aping have a red birthmark the size of a crescent moon on the inside of their left arms. They are exactly the same."

"One more thing," Lu Gong said, "Ah Xing looks very much like my father."

"But didn't your father long ago..." Zhou Bowen was about to ask a question, but Yan Qing covered his mouth.

Duke Lu understood it already, and he sighed: "Actually Zhang Gong's Cao family is in the same line as my ancestors, and his father's appearance is even more similar to my father's. It can't be said that he can be a meritorious Cao. In addition to his ability, he also has more My selfishness."

----

Not long after Duke Lu left, Zhou Bowen dragged Yan Qing to go out.

But when Yan Qing said that he wanted to protect the prince and princess, so he refused to stay away, Zhou Bowen said: "Yesterday in the courtroom, the masters refuted the verdict in public, thinking that there would be some unrest last night. Didn't make a sound. Now under the blue sky and broad daylight, what ghosts and monsters dare to come? Why don't you and I do what we can, and lighten the burden for the Lord."

Zhou Bowen's words were reckless.But it was not without reason, Liu Xiuwei thought for a while, and agreed, and only said: "I need to come back sooner."

After Zhou Bowen and Yan Qing left, the two sat down and sorted out the information they got: "The case of the Lu family's daughter has constrained the three people who hold real power in Lingbao County. From the matter of taking a short rest, it can be seen that Duke Lu's heart is biased towards Zhang Gongcao."

Liu Che nodded: "Besides, there is a very interesting node here. Through inquiry, we found that Lu Ping is seven out of ten this year, Song Lian and Zhang Xin are both the same age as her, but Zhang Wu is one year younger than her. Although Zhang Gongcao is People from Lingbao County, but since his ancestors are in the same line as Lord Lu, it is very likely that Zhang Gongcao's ancestors were not native Lingbao County people."

"It should be noted here that Song Lian met a bear and died two years ago while hunting. Since they didn't see Song Lian's body, how could they be sure that Song Lian was dead? Besides, although Zhang Wu was a bastard, he was more Zhang Xin, who was rumored to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble all day without incident, is much better. As his father, why did Zhang Tong let his concubine die instead without blinking an eye? Could it be that Lu Ping was really killed by Zhang Xin? Killed him?" Chen Ajiao added.

"We now know that Lu Ping met four people before his death: Lu Gong's concubine Lan, Song Lian, Zhang Xin, and Zhang Wu." Liu Che said, "In fact, there are more people, such as the dowry maid, and Lu Duke and Duke Lu's wife. Even the servant who prepared the food for him is also suspected."

"Murder is nothing more than for revenge, for love, or for money. For revenge, according to what the people say, this Lu Ping is also a woman with a very good temperament. She is just a concubine, even if she can't get along with Lu Ping, she will be a stranger after she gets married. Why did she have to kill Lu Ping? For money, it is even more impossible. If it was for money, Lu Ping would have to be kidnapped It’s easy to say. For love...the last possible word is for love.” Chen Ajiao frowned and analyzed one by one.

"First of all, what we need to see is Lu Ping's body. What kind of poison did she die from? Or, she didn't die from poisoning at all!"
