Datang: Angry at Li Er, he still begged me to come out of the mountain

Chapter 31 Family Situation

"Uncle Pei, when it comes to handling cases, you are the No. 1 in our Tang Dynasty. You Dali Temple is full of talents, so why do you still have difficult cases?"

"This is an unjust case!"

"Unjust case? If you know it's an unjust case, then you can just find evidence to overturn the case. What's the problem?" Hearing this, Jiang Yunqing became curious and gossipy.

"Come on, read this file first." After saying that, Pei Ming took out the file from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Yunqing.

Jiang Yunqing took it over and looked at it carefully.

The outline of the case is that three passing businessmen stayed in an inn and checked out early the next morning, but the innkeeper died strangely.

The Chang'an County Government received the report and immediately sent people to chase after the three businessmen, and found that there was still wet blood on the dagger that one of them was carrying casually.

The Chang'an county government arrested these three people and sent them to prison, but for some reason, Jiangxia King Li Daozong wanted to behead these three people anyway.

Since Li Er came to the throne, he has given amnesty to the world twice, especially the death penalty. In Li Er's reign, he was very cautious, and it could only be executed after being reviewed by the third division and the emperor.

And it must be inspected by Li Er, and the case can only be beheaded after the case is found out, otherwise, no matter whether it is a commoner or a slave who sells himself, the death penalty cannot be executed.

Li Er felt that the death penalty for the three of them was a little bit off. He felt that there might be something wrong with the case, and he was afraid that it would become an unjust case, but Li Daozong insisted that Pei Ming should execute all three of them. It's been dragging on like this.

"There is a murder weapon, and there are bloodstains on the murder weapon. It seems that the evidence is conclusive, and the stolen goods were returned, but there are many doubts. Mr. Pei, look, there is not even a motive for killing here. What reason do these three people want to kill?" What about the innkeeper? Looking at it, I think it might be an unjust case."

"Furthermore, in this confession, there is not even the time of committing the crime, the specific location, and why the store owner was killed."

"Also, even if there are conditions for committing a crime, why didn't they run away quickly after they killed someone, and they were still arrested by the Chang'an county government?"

"Finally, with no grudges or grudges, even if you kill someone, who would be so stupid not to wipe off the blood on the short knife and keep it, isn't it a clear evidence for the government?"

Although Pei Ming knew that Jiang Yunqing could have different views, he did not expect Jiang Yunqing's views to be so detailed and clear.

After the real murderer finishes the case, he immediately disposes of his murder weapon and washes off the blood. Who can carry the dagger on his body, walk unhurriedly, and wait for the government to tell him? People come to arrest?

"But the matter has been dragging on like this, and there has been no clue. If I use this to acquit the criminal, then Li Daozong will definitely not let him go. Maybe this will harm the wronged criminal."

"What's so hard about this?"

"It's not difficult?" Pei Ming's eyes lit up all of a sudden, "Then how do you see it?"

"Catch the real culprit, and leave the rest to His Majesty. Li Daozong's side will be resolved by His Majesty. You are investigating the case under His Majesty's order. It is His Majesty's order, and it is also your responsibility and responsibility. If Li Daozong dares to say anything, You invite Cheng Yaojin to drink, and then tell Cheng Yaojin about it, I think Cheng Yaojin can't let him go."

"Yes, what you said makes sense, but it has been more than half a year now, and there is no progress at all. How can I investigate?" Pei Ming said helplessly.

"Otherwise, try it, look from the victim's family, look from the deceased's family, maybe there are different clues on this side."

"Do you think that the family members of the deceased may feel disgusted? What if the wife of the deceased had other lovers outside? Then..." Pei Ming picked up the file and read it carefully again. Sometimes it was true It's like what Jiang Yunqing said, when investigating cases, it is easy to skip the victim's family members directly.

Family members, this identity is the most likely to be skipped, and it is also the person closest to the deceased, the person who is the easiest to attack, and sometimes the most conflicting interests.

Pei Ming suddenly realized that what Jiang Yunqing said was that he was ordered by His Majesty to investigate the case. Can it be as powerful as His Majesty and Cheng Yaojin?

Whether Li Er can deal with Li Daozong or not is none of my business, Pei Ming. I, Pei Ming, will just take care of my affairs later.

"Yunqing, thank you so much, you have solved a huge problem for me." Pei Ming put the file back into his sleeve, looked at Jiang Yunqing, and asked, "Yunqing, do you want to join me?" To be an official? I can recommend it to you."

"Me? I'll let it go." Jiang Yunqing shook his head and said, "If I want to be an official, I think my old father-in-law is fine. He is suitable to be an official, but he didn't come today."

"..."

Pei Ming doesn't know what to say, but your father-in-law is His Majesty, he is in charge of all the officials in the sky, what kind of official is he?

dong dong dong...

There was a hasty knock on the door, and the lame uncle went to open the door. He was so frightened that he almost knelt down, with a look of surprise on his face, he hesitated and said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

"Take it back, by the way, you're not at Cheng's house, what are you doing here?"

"Changsun Sanniang arranged to come here to guard Jiangjiazhuang for a period of time."

"Oh." Li Er finally understood and nodded.

"By the way, we don't know each other. I'm a businessman."

"Understood, Your Majesty."

"what?"

"Understood, Master Li, I'll go and tell them now."

During the Battle of Hulaoguan in Luoyang, they were the ones who broke through Cheng Yaojin and His Majesty from the enemy's siege. Lao Li wanted to seal them as Marquis later, but they wanted to be Cheng Yaojin's guards. They don't even want officials or nobles. What Li Er hates is his itchy teeth. He really has the urge to clear their minds.

"Young Master Jiang, a visitor has come."

As soon as Pei Ming put the file back into his sleeve, he saw Li Er and was stunned.

Seeing that Pei Ming would be here, Li Er was a little stunned. He glanced at Fang Xuanling beside him, who whispered in Li Er's ear, "Master, don't worry, everything has been ordered."

"That's good." Li Er nodded.

"Yunqing, do you have guests here today?"

"Father-in-law, this is..."

"My surname is Pei, just call me Old Pei." Pei Ming hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted. If Li Er said it first, what if Li Er got upset and wrote him a small notebook?After all, he is the real big brother behind the scenes. If you don't show your cards for the time being, you have to be honest here.
