Mystery Makes Me Strong

As a result, as soon as he ran to the city gate and wanted to leave the city, he was pushed to the ground by the ambushes at the city gate and arrested on the spot.

At this time, all the body parts of Liu Gen were taken to the Yamen by the police.

Although some people want to embezzle it, this is important physical evidence. No one dares to play with this matter under the nose of the promoter for the time being.

The promotion officer was sitting in the lobby leisurely and was stunned: "Liu Gen, what else do you have to say now?"

"If you didn't kill the person, why did you run away?"

"This is obviously a thief with a guilty conscience and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to escape. Now that the stolen goods have been obtained, what else can you deny?"

"Do you have any other evidence that you can produce to refute this officer?"

At this time, Liu Gen looked ashen.

He felt even more desperate as he watched the detectives unpacking his baggage.

The money inside belonged to the foreign guest.

He could only kneel down and say, "Little one, I have nothing to say."

"The young ones are clever but are misled by their cleverness."

The promoter smiled with satisfaction.

The government officials and police officers also praised him one after another.

"Master Tui Guan is still awesome."

But at this time, Liu Gen cried: "Young man made a big mistake, but he really didn't kill anyone."

"The younger one is just worried that he will meet a stupid old man next time and drag me to take the blame."

"Fortunately, the official made a clear decision and let me go this time, so I just wanted to leave as soon as possible."

The official smiled and said, "You said you were afraid of meeting a faint official."

"Let's not talk about it for now. How do we explain the contents of this bag?"

Liu Gen was immediately dumbfounded.

He asked someone to take the package to the lobby table, opened it, and immediately knew something.

"There are a hundred and ten taels of silver here, as well as road leads and official documents."

"The reason why you didn't destroy these documents is because you wanted to pretend to be someone else, right?"

"The appearance written in this document is very similar to yours."

"Actually, I have noticed that the deceased's appearance and height are similar to yours."

"They are all about seven feet tall, and their faces are white and beardless."

"Because you are lazy and don't work, your face is naturally whiter."

"It also says one ear is big and the other is small, which matches you exactly."

"From my perspective, you just wanted to steal some silver."

"But after seeing the document, I became malicious."

"After you want to kill someone, you want to borrow a clerical certificate and then take office."

"It just so happens that the place this person is going to is still a very remote border state. It is difficult to find anyone who knows this person, and it is also difficult to communicate with him through letters."

When Wen Rensheng heard this, he looked at Liu Gen with admiration.

In ancient times, there were indeed people who pretended to be administrators and took office... and even managed a place well.

It was later revealed that someone came from my hometown.

Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, there are people who pretend to be administrators and cheat, and they succeed frequently.

Therefore, Liu Gen's move is actually very realistic.

Generally speaking, when the case is brought to this stage, it should be over.

Liu Gen's motivation and evolution from stealing to murder are very reasonable, and the evidence is there.

This package and the documents that have not been destroyed are just that.

In Wen Rensheng's opinion, this official's patience was only one step lower than Song Ci's in terms of fame.

But as far as Wen Rensheng knew, this promoter was only slightly famous in the neighborhood and was not that powerful.

Because in this ancient time, there were more detectives.

Liu Gen was speechless.

He could only repeat: "I did not kill the person."

"You are the one who killed the person."

"I didn't kill him."

"It's you..." the official stood up and said.

Wen Rensheng was stunned.

"Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Anyway, with all the witnesses and material evidence, I will sentence you to death as a prisoner."

Then the judge asked his deputy to start writing the verdict, and of course the previous trial process, in short, a pile of documents.

These are all done by deputy positions.

Otherwise, if he comes to do it, he won't have time to read the case files and solve the case.

"But, sir, it won't look good if the prisoner submits it without drawing a bond." The deputy master reminded him.

"It doesn't matter, this is my principle. I would rather the prisoner not draw a bond than use torture instruments to make the prisoner draw a bond." The officer said confidently.

Wen Rensheng nodded.

If you want to get ahead, you can be stable, but you have to have a backer.

Without a backer, being an official requires style.

For example, cool officials are the most typical type.

Rely on harshness to impress those above,

In this world, positions related to solving crimes are undoubtedly a very important promotion channel.

Because everyone can eat and drink without worries.

Moreover, there has been no war for many years, and they are not willing to start a war with each other.

So there is no military merit.

Why were wars so frequent in ancient times?

For example, nomadic farming.

In the final analysis, it is because the nomads encountered natural disasters and had no food to eat, so they had to go south to invade and plunder.

In this case a fundamental contradiction arises.

This kind of contradiction cannot be solved by relying on culture and marriage.

The only way is to rely on brutal reduction of children, reduction of birth rate, large number of encouragement of nomadic monks to become monks, plus regular trade...

This can barely solve this problem.

And why do wars occur in agricultural civilizations?

In fact, in most cases, it is because the farmers do not have enough to eat, so they say they want to rebel.

In this ancient detective world, when everyone can eat enough, it can be said that the probability of war automatically occurring is very low.

In addition, because of the frequent occurrence of cases, those who have the ability to start a war will offend many people.

Here, often before the war lasts for a few months, those who start the war are poisoned and assassinated by their own subordinates through strange means or inexplicable mechanisms.

Wen Rensheng knows that in real history, emperors often fell into the water and died of cold.

What's more, it is a small world in the void?

Once the instigator of the war is killed, it will be difficult for the war to continue.

This is the characteristic of feudal society.

The lower-class people have no driving force for war.

Everyone is eager not to fight for a lifetime.

This is different from the later modern society.

In modern society, the lower-class people already have the driving force for war. Under the armament of various ideas and driven by various interests, the lower-class people also actively participate in the war in large numbers.

Once the upper class starts the switch, if they want to stop, they have to fight until everyone collectively hates the war.

Otherwise, whoever wants to stop will step down.

So, this world has few wars, but many cases.

But no matter what, in Wen Rensheng's opinion, even if the number of cases increases 100 times, it is not as many as the number of deaths in a war.

A war can kill 9/10 of the people.

No matter how fierce this case is, it can kill hundreds of people at once, which is a huge case.

At this time, Liu Tuiguan had submitted the case files sorted out by the master.

Then the case files and related judgment documents were reported all the way and then sent to the higher authorities.

In fact, in Wen Rensheng's opinion, this is obviously very unreasonable.

Simply put, there is no separation of the three systems of arrest, prosecution, and judgment.

And now the arrest, prosecution, and trial are completely the same team.

From this, we can see how many injustices there are in this feudal society.

It all depends on the wisdom of the county magistrate.

If he is more wise, there will be fewer injustices.

If he is stupid, there will be many injustices.

Why, when the rebel army enters the city, it is considered a good deed to release prisoners.

Because most of them are good people.

In a word, for the yamen runners, is it easier to catch vicious murderers, or vagrants, beggars around, or even innocent people?

Obviously the latter.

If they really want to find someone to take the blame, the priority is vagrants and beggars, followed by the people around who are implicated.

So the people will not look for yamen runners whether they have something to do or not.

They would rather suffer the loss and swallow their anger.

And Liu Tuiguan's documents will be reported all the way to the Censor, and then to the Minister of Justice.

Finally, the emperor will make a decision.

Generally speaking, Liu Tuiguan has done this level and will not be criticized.

And at this time,

Liu Gen shouted in the lobby:

"Listen up, everyone."

"I am innocent, I am really innocent!"

"I just wanted to steal things at first, and then I wanted to impersonate someone."

"But I really didn't kill anyone."

"When I finally called the guest out of the city, he was already dead."

"Because he was dead, I dared to steal things."

"It's not that I killed people just to steal things."

At this most critical moment, Liu Gen finally said another possibility, which is also more logical.

This is the last cleverness of a cunning person.

If it were an honest person, his mind would be completely confused at this time.

But the problem is that his evidence is indeed insufficient.

He can only rely on his mouth, but he can't produce evidence that he is not the murderer.

For Liu Tuiguan, the evidence is indeed sufficient.

First, the body was found in the backyard of Liu Gen's house.

Second, the body package was hidden by Liu Gen.

Third, Liu Gen fled for fear of crime.

These are all evidence.

Generally speaking, among these three lives, it can basically only mean that you killed that person.

Of course, in fact, in Wen Rensheng's opinion, in a feudal society, it is very, very good for the Tui Guan to be able to do this.

At least he did not find an innocent person to atone for his crime like in the real world, in the feudal era.

The body was buried in the backyard of Liu Gen's house, and he secretly took the silver of others, and wanted to impersonate.

All three are involved, so he is not innocent anyway.

Even if he did not kill the person, he should be sentenced to at least 10 or 20 years.

Of course, productivity was not developed in ancient times, and there was no so-called fixed-term imprisonment.

You will not be imprisoned in the prison for a long time unless you are a prisoner of the emperor.

Generally, the judgment is made hastily, and then quickly exiled, sent to exile, or sent to the city wall to do hard labor.

There is no good thing of squatting in the cell and eating for free.

Now he is sentenced to beheaded and imprisoned, which is almost the same.

If the emperor pardons, he may not die.

And the emperor has pardoned quite a lot.

Alas, it can be said that this Tui Guan Liu has done his best.

Of course, Wen Rensheng knew that this was not Tui Guan Liu's kindness.

Instead, he had to consider that the cases were frequent and there was a possibility of manslaughter.

If he was too foolish and reckless, he would not live long and would be killed by revenge.

Now that he has made the three pieces of evidence public, at least Liu Gen's father and his relatives will think that Liu Gen is guilty and deserves the punishment.

There will be no revenge.

They wouldn't poison someone in the middle of the night or set traps on the road...

So, soon the documents related to Liu Tuiguan were sent all the way up.

They were sent to the province first. After the provincial censor read them, he scanned them.

"Well, the evidence is conclusive, but the prisoner doesn't admit it?"

"Okay, this old Liu is always like this."

"The evidence is clear, but the prisoner doesn't confess. After a few more tortures, is there still anyone who doesn't admit it?"

A deputy next to him said, "Liu Tuiguan has always been cautious and unwilling to use torture to force a confession."

"I'm afraid he is also worried that torture will force a confession, and then force an unjust case, and someone will come to retaliate."

"Then kill him, right?"

"Humph, how can you succeed if you are so timid?"

The censor shook his head.

Then he drew a circle on the document, a very round one, comparable to that made by a compass.

It represents agreement.

If it is a triangle, it means disagreement.

If it is a red cross, it means that he is very dissatisfied and will be directly rejected for retrial.

The deputy complained in his heart: [You are not a coward, but you never personally order the killing, you always hand in the document. ]

Then the document was sent to the capital and came to the hands of the Minister of Punishment.

After seeing it, the Minister of Punishment frowned.

"If the prisoner does not sign, just reject it directly."

"Tell them that the prisoner must sign willingly before the verdict can be made."

"The prisoner must be convinced before he can be killed."

Then the document was rejected.

This is mainly because the emperor has been sleeping restlessly recently and is always worried that someone is assassinating him.

So the Minister of Punishment will not have this bad luck.

It can be said that the emperor is the biggest potential murderer.

He has the motive to kill anyone and the ability to kill anyone.

While everyone is restraining the emperor, the emperor is also restraining everyone, which forms a chess game of fighting beasts.

The elephant fights all below the tiger, and the lowest mouse can deter the elephant.

The whole process goes back and forth very quickly.

Because in this world, messages are delivered through some kind of domesticated eagle.

This kind of eagle is much smarter than the eagle in the real world.

It has a very high IQ.

At least equivalent to a child in his teens who can pick up parcels.

It can run back and forth on a fixed route.

And the eagle has no natural enemies in the air.

It can fly more than 100 kilometers per hour. If the wind direction is relatively smooth and there is a monsoon, the speed can be even faster, such as doubling.

It can be said that this speed is quite fast.

It can fly 2,000 kilometers a day.

Of course, the consumption of this kind of eagle is also very large.

It can be said that it consumes more than the people in the post station.

Because it eats meat, and it cannot deduct military pay.

But people are different.

Two steamed buns for 100 kilometers, and they can live on wild vegetables at other times.

It will be dried up after living to more than 30.

Then come the next round.

Eagles will not do this.

Flying 100 kilometers, at least one kilogram of fresh and tender internal organs is eaten.

This consumption cost is far greater than that of humans.

Of course, if you ride a horse, the horse's energy consumption is still higher than that of an eagle.

But the general messenger is not able to use a horse to deliver letters alone, so he can only deliver letters by the way.

Only important letters are used for horses.

And official documents are delivered by eagles.

It can reach the farthest border within a week.

This is amazing.
