The magistrates of the Song Dynasty actually did not examine the case. The magistrate was the magistrate, who presided over the magistrate to join the army. After the trial, the magistrates the applicable laws were detected, and the judges decided the case, and finally the magistrates and the Tongju Tong signed the case. Compared with Du Zhongxiao's previous life system, the magistrates were the Public Security Bureau, the magistrates were the prosecutors, and the judges and the prosecutors were the courts, but there were also magistrates and Tongju Tongju Tong to take charge of everything.

This is the system of judicial division and judicial division, and it is also the prototype of the public security, procuratorate and judicial system. From local governments to courts, criminal prisons are based on this principle.

Tao Shiqi was taken away and immediately transferred to the prison of the lieutenant, which was approximately equivalent to the detention center of Du Zhongxiao's previous life.

Zheng Peng, the manager of the military, did not dare to neglect such a major case, and immediately mentioned the relevant person to wait for his official office.

Asked all the witnesses brought on the street, the most critical witness Du Zhongxiao had not arrived yet, and Zheng Peng couldn't help but feel anxious. The position of the official position of the guard is higher than that of the officials of the Cao, and the manager in charge of the prison joining the army was even more restrained by the judges and the referees, so he was not willing to send people to urge him.

Just as Zheng Peng was holding various official documents and asked the Jiao County Magistrate of Qiao County, the official came to report that Du Zhongxiao finally arrived.

Zheng Peng breathed out, welcomed him out, and bowed to Du Zhongxiao from afar: "I'm tired of engaging in it."

Du Zhongxiao returned the gift: "This is a business, why dare you say it is hard work? If you come late, don't blame the manager."

Zheng Peng didn't dare to let Du Zhongxiao into the official hall, ordered the person to set up a seat, and sat next to him.

The two sat down and Zheng Pengcai said: "Today's murder case was in the street, and I happened to be present. I guess everything was seen. Therefore, our court brought someone to the court, but it was detained, not interrogated, and not sentenced, so I should listen to it first."

Du Zhongxiao told what he saw at the city gate and finally said, "The murderer was named Tao Shiqi. He heard from him that the murderer had destroyed his family because of the murdered person. He waited there for several years before he got the opportunity to kill his enemy."

Zheng Peng said: "The witness just now said the same thing. Tao Shiqi killed people in the street because he avenged his family's revenge. But I asked clearly that the deceased was a public servant from Yongcheng County and could not enter the city several times a year. He was neither a native of the city nor a public servant. How could he be Tao Shiqi's enemy? After repeated doubts, he asked the public servants who were familiar with the deceased in the state and said that such a thing was impossible. I was afraid that the young man had recognized the wrong person."

Du Zhongxiao said: "I saw Tao Shiqi running to the deceased like a flying sword and killing people without any hesitation. How could he recognize the wrong person so decisive? He said that he had been waiting for several years to have this opportunity, and he happened to face the deceased who did not come to Zhoucheng often. But, we are all guessing this kind of thing out of thin air, and it would be better to bring the prisoners to ask clearly."

Zheng Peng bowed: "Because I happened to encounter a criminal who committed the crime, I took the official there first, and waited for the business to ask about the case together."

Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "How to investigate the case, there are rules, how can I interfere casually? Even though the manager is just a case trial, I am a normal witness, and sit here to testify."

The state court has its own jurisdiction, especially the manager who joins the army and specializes in the prosecution of prisons and liaisons. He is not allowed to have any other part-time jobs. He has the most power and is not allowed to interfere in the case trial. Zheng Peng was polite because Du Zhongxiao was at the scene, and he felt at ease after hearing this.

Tao Shiqi was handcuffed and shackled, and was taken to the official hall, standing there with no fear on his face.

Such serious offenders know that they will die, and that coercion and intimidation are useless to them. Zheng Peng has been trying the case for many years, so he naturally knows it, and does not make things difficult for Tao Shiqi. He said to him: "If you kill people in the street, I don't know how many people see it. If you kill people, you will never be lucky. Do you know?"

Tao Shiqi was fearless and said, "That guy hurt my family and his family to destroy it. Today, it's worth it. The official is at ease. I, Tao Shiqi, are not a fool. I, have already killed him, and I will take my life!"

After hearing this, Zheng Peng felt relieved when he saw Tao Shiqi so happy, and his tone eased: "You killed people in the street, shocking the world, and you should deal with them strictly and seriously to calm the people's hearts. But before you killed someone, you said that the deceased caused your family to be destroyed. I wonder what happened?"

Tao Shiqi said: "I was originally from Mengcheng County, our province. A few years ago, I came to Zhoucheng with my parents and sold medicinal materials to make a living. My family also made a lot of money. A few years ago, a guest who claimed to have come from the capital had somehow deceived my father's trust and wanted to open a pharmacy together. Then I took my family's money, which was discovered, hurt my father's life. Later, my mother couldn't keep it and didn't know where I went. I stayed in Zhoucheng alone to avenge my father."

Zheng Peng said: "Who dares to cover up the lawsuit for human life? Didn't you report to the official at that time?"

"Of course, I reported it. But the group of thieves were so vicious that after they harmed people, they transported my father's body out of the city and didn't know where to throw it away. The body could not be found, so the government closed the case randomly and finally left it alone."

Tao Shiqi's family was a foreigner, without a corpse or a murderer. How could it be calculated based on a child alone? The case eventually became a confused case. After a few years, Tao Shiqi made trouble several times later, and no one in the government office paid attention to him.

Zheng Peng has already asked these things carefully. After hearing Tao Shiqi's lecture, he stopped asking them. There are always such cases in every place that are completely unfinished and confusing to close the case. He would not investigate this case even before Zheng Peng took office here.

After asking Tao Shiqi's confession, he asked him to sign and seal it. Zheng Peng ordered someone to take it down. He said to Du Zhongxiao: "Tao Shiqi killed people in the street, and all the evidences are there, so there should be no doubt. If you happen to be present, please give me a testimony."

Du Zhongxiao of course agreed and wrote it in person, and Du Zhongxiao was named.

Seeing that Zheng Peng had some intention of closing the case, Du Zhongxiao said: "There is always a reason for killing people in the street, otherwise how can you avenge them? Tao Shiqi said that it was to avenge the family's revenge, and this matter must be investigated clearly. If you can't find out clearly, I'm afraid that Taixian will have something to say."

Zheng Peng nodded, thought for a while and felt a little embarrassed: "This murdered Marquis of Lu Yu is from a foreign county and rarely comes to the city of the state. How could he make enemies with Tao Shiqi? I have asked many people, and they all said that it was probably Tao Shiqi who admitted the wrong person. When his family was ruined, it was difficult to say whether he was murdered or lost money in business, and now it is even more difficult to explain. Alas, it is really not easy to find out this matter."

After saying that, Zheng Peng was a little worried. The case was easy to settle, but it was really not easy to investigate the reason for Tao Shiqi's murder. This old case is difficult to investigate, and it involves outsiders and has no witnesses, so there is no way to start.

Du Zhongxiao's identity was just a witness. After reminding him, he stopped talking. But if Zheng Peng closed the case, he would have to pass the judge's referral and he could not ignore Du Zhongxiao's words, otherwise it would be even more difficult to call him back then and he would be frozen there for a while.

Official Kongmu, who was assisting in the trial, saw that it was not a big deal and went forward to salute: "It is better to send someone to Yongcheng County to investigate the whereabouts of Lu Yuhou in those days according to the case mentioned by Tao Shiqi. As long as there are witnesses and the two cannot compare, it is natural that Tao Shiqi admitted the wrong person. As for the Tao family's case a few years ago, you cannot listen to Tao Shiqi's remarks once, so you don't have to worry about him."

Zheng Peng nodded quickly: "This statement makes sense. I will compile a book and our institute will send a public official to Yongcheng."
