Criminal investigation in ancient times

In the palace, Zhou Yin knocked on his head, he was so stupid just now, his head was kicked by a donkey.Why not promise him?Actually ran away in fright? !It's embarrassing for such a dignified prince to act like a little daughter! ... If Zhou Yin is a modern person, then the term egg pain is tailor-made for him.

Sitting on the chair and sighing, no matter what, it's good that people are fine, this adventure made him suddenly realize that he might not only want to be close to him, but also want to have him!When seeing him unconscious for the first time, Zhou Yin felt that it was difficult to breathe, that kind of feeling as if he fell into the water and was about to drown, and he never wanted to experience it again in this life.A thought suddenly popped into his head, which startled him.imprison him by his side...

But how could Zhou Yin be willing to imprison him?Cut off his official career and prevent him from deciding the case.Even if his wings are broken, even if a wingless eagle is tethered by his side, he will get tired of it after a long time.Maybe what I like is the confidence he exudes when he finds out the real culprit.

Thinking of this, there was a sudden pain in his chest, Zhou Yin supported the chair, his face was as pale as paper, and he said anxiously: "Zhan Qing! Zhan Qing!" His eyes darkened and he passed out.

Hearing the sound, Zhan Qing rushed into the house, and seeing Zhou Yin like this, he knew that he was ill again, and hurriedly helped him to the inner room, and called the old doctor in the mansion.The old doctor hurried over, took a look and sighed: "If it continues like this, don't blame the old man for talking too much, the prince won't survive."

Zhan Qing said with a gloomy expression: "Although you need to give acupuncture to the prince first, the current plan can only be like this, I hope it will be better in the future..."

The old doctor took out the medicine box, and took out a roll of cloth pocket from it. The cloth pocket was unfolded, and there were hundreds of silver needles, large and small.Lay the person flat and lift off Zhou Yin's clothes, flipping his hands up and down, almost all of the hundreds of needles stuck in after a while.

Black and purple blood spilled out along the needle hole, and it took half an hour for the dirty blood to flow out, and the doctor lifted the needle.

In the morning, Zhan prepared a damp cloth to wipe off the blood on Zhou Yin's body.The old doctor handed him the ointment again and said, "Don't forget to apply the ointment to the lord. If the needle holes left on the body are not applied in time, the ointment will get worse and worse."

Zhan Qing took the ointment and said, "I know, please trouble the doctor."

The old doctor sighed and shook his head, packed up the medicine box, got up and left.

The person on the bed closed his eyes and frowned.Zhanqing wiped the medicine quickly, covered her with the quilt, and quietly backed out.The prince almost commits a crime once a month, and he is used to this kind of situation.It's just that this time it seems to be a few days earlier. Could it be that... the prince's sunflower water is out of tune?

***

Zhang Rui couldn't bear to get up after lying on the bed for two days.The activities have exercised the muscles and bones, and mushrooms are growing on the body always lying on the bed.

Lin Chengqian came to Dali Temple to visit him a few times, and sent him a lot of supplements so that he could recover from his illness with peace of mind.In fact, Zhang Rui really couldn't say good or bad about this uncle, at least he didn't treat him harshly, and it was not easy for him to send himself to a school.

The only thing that makes him unhappy is that he hasn't seen Zhou Yin in the past few days.I don't know what this guy is doing.

Sima Zhaoliang's case was closed in a daze, the murderer was never caught, and it was impossible to know whether Dong Zhuo was the eldest prince or not. Even if it was the eldest prince, Dali Temple could not continue to investigate this matter. Submit it.

If Dong Zhuo hadn't listened to his words, he might have been silenced, and he just sighed that a poor person must have something to hate.

When Zhang Yaozhi told the emperor about the case, he recommended Zhang Rui to the emperor by the way. The emperor asked about his condition, thought for a while and said, "I don't worry about the person you recommend, Zhang Aiqing, but the child is too young and has Send him to that poor country, there is no guarantee that he will die here."

Zhang Yaozhi clasped his hands and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this child's fate was rough at a young age, which made him tough. What's even more rare is that he is calm and calm at such a young age, stronger than many adults. Also, this child's fate is not easy to die."

The emperor laughed and said, "It's the first time I've seen you boasting so much."

Zhang Yaozhi said in embarrassment: "I beg the emperor to give him a chance because I love talents so much. Such talents are rare."

The emperor said: "Sure, if this kid does not grow crooked after three years, how about I transfer him back to Beijing if he has some political achievements?"

Zhang Yaozhi hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "I thank the emperor for his kindness on his behalf."

The emperor: "Okay, okay, get up quickly, old arms and legs, I'm really afraid that once you kneel down, you won't be able to get up like Sima Cheng."

The corners of Zhang Yaozhi's mouth twitched slightly, he put his hands on the ground, and jumped up quickly.

The emperor laughed loudly and said: "I just said that once you said it, you still got into a fight with me. Are you capable of coming here to fight carp?"

Zhang Yaozhi: "Cough...Your Majesty, stop making trouble. After Prime Minister Sima's incident, the power in the upper echelon has already begun to tilt. If the emperor doesn't take countermeasures, I'm afraid the people below will feel uneasy."

The emperor rubbed his head: "This group of people are really worried, Zhang Qing, what if I let you be the prime minister?"

Zhang Yaozhi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this old minister is too old to take on this important task."

The emperor said: "Hey, didn't Zhang Aiqing still jump up just now?"

Zhang Yaozhi: "..." Don't mention it again, okay?Just got water in my head.

The emperor coughed lightly and said solemnly: "Okay, I'm not kidding anymore. On the one hand, you are old, on the other hand, you have been in charge of Dali Temple for many years, and you have offended many people. If you are transferred, I am afraid that these old guys The united front will be the first to get you down."

Zhang Yaozhi wiped off his sweat and thought that it would be good if your majesty understands.

The emperor: "I have two candidates in mind. One is Jiang Bozhong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the other is Liu Yuanzheng, the servant of the central government. Which of these two people do you think is better? Don't worry about it, but it's okay."

Zhang Yaozhi said: "This...veteran dare not make rash comments, no matter who these two people are, they are more suitable than ministers."

The emperor nodded and said: "I thought so too, forget it, you go back first, I'll take a look at these two people, and... don't send that child out in a hurry, take him with you and teach him how to be an official Dao, I cherish talents and don't want him to die early in the struggle for power."

Zhang Yaozhi nodded, knelt down and retreated.Back at Dali Temple, I saw Zhang Rui standing in the courtyard and gesticulating with Duan Xiaobai.

Zhang Yaozhi said: "Hey, what are you two doing?"

Zhang Rui turned his head and saw the lord coming back, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I'm learning some martial arts with Brother Duan for self-defense."

Zhang Yaozhi said: "Well, the idea is good, but with your body...even I, who don't know martial arts, find it difficult."

Duan Xiaobai said embarrassingly: "My lord is right."

This... Zhang Rui wiped the sweat off his head and said, "Xiaosheng thinks his body is not bad, look at me like this, like this, and like this." He gestured twice.

Duan Xiaobai coughed lightly and said: "The posture is not bad, but... Mr. Zhang, you can't use one tenth of this strength without internal strength."

Zhang Rui was dejected. After experiencing this kidnapping, he was more determined to learn the kung fu from his previous life.But I didn't expect my body to be flawed, no matter how good the moves are, it's useless.

Zhang Yaozhi patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said: "There are lengths and lengths, and not everyone has to be proficient in everything. You are very talented in reasoning. Even the old man dare not say that he can surpass you. Others It doesn't matter if you are weaker. I will assign Xiao Bai to be your bodyguard in the future, and what happened last time will definitely not happen again."

Zhang Rui smiled and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Zhang Yaozhi: "By the way, I have already mentioned your matter to the emperor, and the emperor agreed."

When Zhang Rui heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Xiaosheng, thank you for your care, Xiaosheng... Xiaosheng will definitely not disgrace his life!"

Zhang Yaozhi helped him up, "Good boy, get up, the place I recommend to you is Tongzhou, do you know where this Tongzhou is?"

Zhang Rui thought for a while and said: "Xiaosheng once saw the description of Tongzhou in Kyushu Chronicles: Tongzhou is a land of poor mountains and bad waters, its production is not very heavy, grass bandits are rampant, and businessmen who come and go take detours to avoid it."

Zhang Yaozhi said: "Indeed, this is indeed not a good place. None of the previous state capitals here can last for three years of evaluation. Now, the state capital I invited you and I just got an offer the day before yesterday, and requested to be transferred to another place. You will take over at the beginning of next year." The magistrate of Tongzhou, when I come back three years later, I think you have almost experienced it, and you have all the years of experience." It means that if you are promoted at that time, you will not be afraid of the reputation.

"So from today onwards, I will deal with some case files with the old man. When you are free, you can also go to Xiaoqing to look at the old case files and how to judge them. You have to learn little by little."

Zhang Ruidao: "Xiaosheng will follow the teachings of the adults, and he will definitely learn the way of being an official!" Master Zhang stroked his beard and smiled, and the child seemed to fit his eyes.

"Dong dong dong..." A muffled sound came from outside.The three of them were taken aback and looked out.

Zhang Ruidao: "It seems that someone is beating the drum of grievance."

Zhang Yaozhi said seriously to Duan Xiaobai: "Go and ask the yamen servant to see what's going on? Zhang Rui will come to the hall with me."

Mr. Zhang straightened his clothes and walked towards the main hall of Dali Temple. Jiang Shuo, who heard the news, said, "My lord, it is two young men who are complaining."

Zhang Yaozhi waved his hands and said, "Bring the two of you to the hall!" Standing beside Mr. Zhang, Zhang Rui trembled slightly as he looked at the serious and excited person.

"Just learn and watch how I interrogate." Zhang Rui nodded.

At the entrance of the lobby, two people, one tall and one short, were brought up.The two looked familiar, and Zhang Rui was taken aback when he took a closer look. Isn't this the brother and sister of the Liuzhou He family who happened to meet on the road? !

Zhang Yaozhi said: "Anyone in the hall quickly report their names, but do you know that the nailboard will be rolled when the drum of grievances is beaten!"

He Min said: "He Ming, a grassroots man in Liuzhou, this is He Min, my sister-in-law. The two of us have heard that Dali Temple is fair and honest, and that corrupt officials are tried at the upper level and ordinary people at the lower level. Today, the two of us are begging the Lord to make decisions for us, even if we die on this nail. There are no complaints or regrets at the bottom of the board.”

Zhang Yaozhi patted the gavel and said, "Put the nail board on!"

After a while, two yamen servants carried a wooden plank about three feet long and one foot wide, with densely packed three-inch long nails inserted into the wooden plank!Looking at the dried blood on the wooden board makes people shudder!

Zhang Rui looked at the people in the hall and hesitated to speak. It seemed that the brothers and sisters did not recognize him. Seeing that He Min had taken off his shirt and was sitting on the ground naked, his heart moved and he couldn't help but stop him. people.

Zhang Yaozhi coughed, Zhang Rui was taken aback for a moment, and stood behind him with a sigh of resignation.

As soon as He Ming lay down on the nail board, his back was punctured, and the blood flowed down the nail board all over the board.He Min squatted beside him, biting her hands with her mouth open to keep her tears from falling.

The short ten feet seemed as far away as the ends of the earth, and Zhang Rui didn't know how he could hold back to read it.

He Ming finally rolled down from the nail board. There was no good place on his body, and he was covered in blood and his skin was torn apart.He Ming gasped and laughed anxiously: "Amin, brother thinks this nail board is so powerful...it's just...so much."

He Min finally couldn't hold back the tears, picked up his brother's clothes from the ground and put them on for him with trembling hands.

Zhang Rui opened his eyes, like a lump in his throat, unable to swallow or spit it out.Zhang Yaozhi said softly: "I know you are kind-hearted, but you have to learn to get used to it. Etiquette and law cannot be broken. If I accommodate them today, then all cases of stealing will come to Dali Temple tomorrow, do you understand?"

Zhang Rui nodded and clenched his fists tightly. This is ancient times. Since we live in ancient times, we must abide by the rules of this era.

"People under the hall, now that you have rolled the nailboard, if you have any grievances, quickly report them!"

He Min put on her clothes, knelt down and said, "The villain is suing Zhou Yin, the twelfth prince of the dynasty today, for murdering my father!"

Hearing this name, Zhang Rui felt as if he had been slapped in the head, and his head was a little dizzy. Zhang Yaozhi was almost as old as him.

Zhang Yaozhi: "This... do you know that if you sue the prince without evidence, you can be sentenced to death!"

He Mingdao: "Naturally, the villain knows, if there is no evidence, he would not dare to beat the grievance drum!"

Zhang Yaozhi said: "Tell me how the Twelve Princes murdered your father?"

Xu Shi's wound was too painful, He Ming's complexion became paler and he said: "The matter has to start from the 12th year of Longxing..."
