Where is the sword of the reborn eagle

"What did you say? Where did someone die?"

"Lord Qian, someone was killed in the south of the city just now, and the bodies of all the criminals and the deceased have been brought back to the government office, waiting for you to go there."

In fact, the pusher had already asked about the whole story, and had a basic understanding of the whole case.

It's just that the deceased's identity was a little special, so he didn't dare to make a judgment lightly, so he had to bite the bullet and come to his immediate superior.

There is no way, human life is at stake.

Master Qian didn't care about drinking or listening to music, he hurried back to his bedroom, changed into his official uniform, and followed the officials to the lobby.

Jiaxing is a bit special now.

Originally, these civilian criminal cases were directly handed over to the local county government for trial, and ordinary people could also attend.

The government office generally does not need to conduct a trial directly, but only to review the cases reported by the county government, unless someone leapfrogged to the government office to appeal.

And this Jiaxing City is under the jurisdiction of Jiahe County according to the regulations. Ding You left a month ago when he took office as the magistrate of Jiahe County.

At any rate, it was started from the grassroots. Mr. Qian sat firmly in the lobby, the three classes of yamen servants stood on both sides, and the pushing officer and a teacher sat on the left and right.

"Ascension to the hall, lead the prisoner—"

There was not much time, and everyone who interfered was taken to the lobby.

More than half of the dozen or so attendants ran away, and the remaining four did not dare to run. They followed Mo Qing from "Lin'an" to Jiaxing.

The matchmaker, Hu Yanfeng, Hu Yande's mother and son, and Mo Qing's corpse were also carried up, and their faces were covered with a white cloth.

"Who is the plaintiff, please tell me what happened?" Master Qian said.

A articulate attendant told the whole story of the incident.

He didn't add any embellishments, maybe in his opinion, what their master did was justified, so he didn't try to cover up the mistakes.

When Master Qian heard this, isn't this a typical way of robbing women?He just tried to rob him, but was beaten to death by his son instead.

This kind of thing is inconclusive in this day and age.

If it is placed in later generations, it will be judged not guilty, which is a legitimate defense, let alone a minor child; or, at most, it will be judged as excessive defense.

However, in this day and age, those who dare to rob people's women are people with backgrounds.

Even the founder of the Song Dynasty, the Taizu, had dealt with a case of robbing a civilian girl back then, and in the end it turned out that the person who wanted to rob a civilian girl bought the woman with money, which was regarded as a concubine.

"Kneeling Hu Yanfeng, is what that person said just now true?"

"My lord, it's completely true. It's just that my son, Hu Yande, is only ten years old, and he has nothing to do with him. This matter was caused by a woman. The woman is willing to bear it all. Please forgive me and let my son go."

"Mother, you can't plead guilty. My lord, I beat him to death. It has nothing to do with my mother. If you want to arrest me, arrest me, don't arrest my mother."

Hu Yanfeng and Hu Yande, both of them in the courtroom, were vying to take the blame for this crime.

Master Qian was not confused, he knew that even if he acquitted these two, it would be legally justified.

At this moment, the master on the right side of Master Qian quietly stepped forward, came to Master Qian, and said in a low voice.

"Master Qian, this case is easy to judge, but it's not easy to end it."

"The deceased, Mo Qing, is not an ordinary rascal. He came from Lin'an. He seems to be the nephew of Lord Mo Ze. Lord Mo Ze is a 'historical minister'. Look..."

The word "Shi Xiang" made Mr. Qian almost out of breath. Being able to sit in his position was considered the middle class of the Song Dynasty. He knew the power of this Shi Xiang.

"Both parties have confessed to each other, so let's sign and sign in court. Huyan's mother and son will be imprisoned temporarily. The government will report your confession to the Criminal Department of the capital, and wait for the final ruling."

In this way, Hu Yanfeng and her son were temporarily locked up.

Immediately send someone to take the dossier signed by both parties, together with the evidence, and formally write it to the Ministry of Punishment.

Then, he wrote a letter with his own hand, sent someone to Lin'an, and handed it to Mo Ze.

You have to sell favors, and you have to find someone to back you up.

This kind of thing, anyway, the old money man himself is not willing to make this decision.

In case something really happened one day, he still wanted to get out of the way.

There are so many documents from the Ministry of Punishment every day, and it is logical that Jiaxing handed over this one and was detained.

It just so happened that Mr. Moze also went out of Beijing to handle some errands under the order of Shi Xiang.

This ordinary life lawsuit was delayed for more than half a year.

It was not until Moze returned to Lin'an more than a month ago that someone from his servants gave him the letter.

After reading the letter, Mo Ze was furious. His own nephew died half a year ago, and he was beaten to death. Why didn't the Criminal Department deal with it?

Although he is a capable general of Shi Xiang, he has no right to control the Ministry of Punishment.

He took that letter and went to Shi Miyuan to cry, and even sued the Ministry of Punishment for his inaction, to bring the perpetrators to justice, and to comfort his dead nephew.

Crying children have milk, not to mention that Mo Ze really has a dead nephew, at least he is his confidant, so Shi Miyuan can't just ignore it.

So he wrote a note casually and handed it to Mo Ze, asking him to go to the Ministry of Punishment to supervise the matter in person.

When they saw Shi Miyuan's note, the big bosses of the Ministry of Criminal Justice were also confused.

There is such a thing?

Hastily summoned people to clean up the files overnight, and finally found the behavior submitted by Jiaxing more than half a year ago.

Opened and looked at all the files in public, including the signatures of the plaintiff and the defendant, and even found the murder weapon.

With all the witnesses and physical evidence, the criminal himself confessed, and the historical record, the Ministry of Criminal Justice issued the verdict overnight.

The murderer Hu Yande was sentenced to death, and the accomplice Hu Yanfeng was imprisoned for three years.

Mo Ze finally let out a breath of anger, even though he didn't like this nephew himself, and didn't like him dangling in front of his eyes, so he sent him to Jiaxing.

However, now that he was beaten to death, that is also to avenge him.

Even, they want to execute that Hu Yanfeng together, this is the "culprit".

I don't know if it was the negligence of the people in the Ministry of Punishment, or if it was done on purpose. It just so happened that the time for the autumn judgment this year has passed.

This sentenced Hu Yande to death, but it didn't indicate when it would be executed?Let Mr. Qian in Jiaxing have a headache.

Besides, Mr. Qian from Jiaxing has sent the official document to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the letter to Mr. Mo Ze, and he is eagerly waiting for the reply, so that he can settle the case.

However, the left wait did not come, and the right wait did not come.

After spring is summer, after summer is autumn.

This time, Master Qian really waited until the flowers all thanked...

After more than half a year, finally came the drafting of the Ministry of Punishment.

He didn't dare to dislike Shangfeng's work efficiency, at least when the verdict came, didn't he?

He was promoted again, summoned a group of people, and also brought out Hu Yanfeng's mother and son who had been in prison for more than half a year from the cell.

The judgment of the Ministry of Punishment was announced in the hall, and then the judgment notice was posted at the gate of the city to warn the world.

"Lord Qian, it seems that there is something wrong with the reply from the Ministry of Punishment. It doesn't specify the execution time of the death row prisoner?"

The responsible master kindly reminded.

"Really? Don't you have time? I guess it's the adults of the Ministry of Criminal Justice who made some omissions during their busy schedule. If you don't have time, just wait in prison for two days."

Mr. Qian pretended to be nonchalant, but he knew very well in his heart that he wanted our old Qian to take the blame?no way!

Isn't the magistrate of Jiahe County on duty?Just turn these two around.

"Heroes in the downtown area" Quan Jinfa met Hu Yanfeng's mother and son in the jail in Jiahe County.

When Quan Jinfa saw the two of them, tears fell.

Although no one bullied them in the prison, after all, they stayed in the prison for more than half a year, with food, drink, and shelter...

Where is this a place for normal people to stay?

"Prisoner, please go and buy some food and drink. With this money, I can buy a bowl of wine for my brothers."

As Quan Jinfa said, he took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to the cell boss who brought him in.

"Oh, I can't help it, Sixth Master Quan, the younger one is also a person who has received great kindness from you. I didn't know that the mother and son of the Huyan family were your friends. If you knew earlier, the younger one should change them to a clean place anyway."

"Come here, this mother and son are serious criminals on death row. Lock them up for me in the innermost cell."

It turned out that this prison boss was also a gangster when he was young. Once he gambled in a gambling shop and won a few lucky hands. When he went out, he was followed by others.

If he hadn't met Quan Jinfa by chance, not only would he lose his money, but he might not even be able to keep his own life.

Later, I found someone to find a job in the prison. After all these years, I finally became the head of the prison.

And Quan Jinfa has already become a well-known "downtown hero", and this cell boss brags to his colleagues from time to time that he is the brother of Quan Liuye in the "Seven Heroes of the South of the Yangtze River".

This time Quan Jinfa came to visit Huyan's mother and son in the prison, but unexpectedly met an acquaintance.

If you are ripe, you still have to spend the money that should be spent.

Someone had money, and soon Hu Yanfeng and her son were transferred to a clean and spacious cell, which was twice the size of the original cell, and there was a window above the head through which sunlight could shine in every day. Except for dry straw, There were actually two simple quilts.

"Sixth Master, you talk first, and I'll go get you food and drinks. In this three-acre land, brother, I still have some power. If you have something to say, I guarantee that no one will disturb you."

The cell boss turned around and left, only Quan Jinfa, Hu Yanfeng and his mother and son remained in the cell.

This sudden change also made Hu Yanfeng mother and son dumbfounded, they just stared blankly at Quan Jinfa without saying a word.

It has been more than 30 years. When they separated, Quan Jinfa was only ten years old, and Hu Yanfeng was less than six years old.

Reunited again, did not expect this to happen.

"Feng'er, do you still know me?"

Quan Blonde tried his best to control his emotions, but his voice was still trembling.

Hu Yanfeng took a closer look at Quan Jin's hair, then shook her head.

Where did you get to know each other?

The ten-year-old child at that time has now become an uncle in his early forties. Who did the pig-killing knife of the years bypass?

"Haha, I'm old, but Feng'er is still so beautiful. I'm full blonde, Feng'er really doesn't remember your 'Brother Quan'?"

Quan Blonde laughed dryly, but tears flowed down again.

"What? Are you the whole brother?"

Hu Yanfeng's eyes widened when he heard this, and he carefully looked at Quan Jin's face again.

Between the eyebrows and eyes, one can vaguely distinguish the appearance of that year.

"Brother Quan—"

Hu Yanfeng shouted, and rushed over, hugging Quan Jinfa tightly.

The tension, fear, and helplessness of the past six months...

It seemed that at this moment, everything was vented out, and instantly disappeared, leaving only lying in Quan Jinfa's arms, crying loudly.

Hu Yande still stood there blankly.

The six months of prison life seemed to have made the child grow a lot and understand a lot.

When Master Qian announced his death sentence in the lobby, mother Hu Yanfeng cried like hell, but Hu Yande didn't shed a single tear.

Instead, he stood aside, comforting his mother, and kept wiping her tears.

After crying for a long time, Hu Yanfeng seemed to realize that she had "failed" just now, and her face flushed slightly.

"De'er, come here, I've seen you..."

"Call me Uncle." Quan Jinfa said softly.

"Yes, De'er, come and meet your uncle."

They met Yu Weimo that year, so many years have passed, Hu Yanfeng has not forgotten that half a bowl of fish soup that he drank that day, and Quan Jinfa received the great favor from the other party.

Hu Yande hurried over and knelt down on the ground straight.

"Baby Hu Yande, kowtow to my uncle."

He has never had any relatives, especially after living in prison for more than half a year, when he suddenly saw a friend of his mother's, Hu Yande was extremely happy, or comforted.

Because, what he thinks now is that even if he is beheaded, his mother will finally have relatives to take care of her from now on.

"Brother Quan, why did you come here? How have you lived these years? You..."
