Princess Yang also smiled and said, "It seems you guessed it. That's right. Prince, we are going to recommend a marriage for you. You have outstanding literary talent, seven steps to make poetry, and proficient in criminal laws. The most important thing is that you are the prince's confidant, so if the marriage you want to recommend is too ordinary, I really sorry for you. After thinking about it, we thought of a marriage that should be your wish."

Xiao Jiading hurriedly said, "The prince and the princess are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are they?"

"Wu Family!"

"Wu Family?" Xiao Jiading's eyes widened, and his heart began to pound.

"Yes, the sister of the priest Wu Jieyu."

Concubine Wu Jie? Isn’t that Wu Zetian? Xiao Jiading’s heart stopped instantly. Her sister? I want to marry Wu Zetian’s sister as my wife?

Seeing him stupid, Princess Yang smiled: "What? Not satisfied? If you are not satisfied, I am afraid I will ask the emperor for a princess for you."

"No, no, no, I dare not hope to be the prince consort! This is what I have already flattered me!" Xiao Jiading smiled so hard that he couldn't stop.

The prince-consort of the Tang Dynasty was not fun. Most prince-consorts were either cuckolded or beheaded, and few people died well. Moreover, being a princess’ husband sounded good in name, but in fact it was simply tofu falling into ashes, and it was impossible to beat him or film. It would be different to marry Wu Zetian’s sister as a wife. She was not a princess, but she had more potential than a princess. Climbing up to Wu Zetian’s big tree would mean having a nuclear protective umbrella in the future. She was simply resting on her mind!

Of course, before Wu Zetian gained power, she must be cautious, be cautious, keep arrogance and impetuous, keep a low profile, and be a human being with her tail.

While Xiao Jiading was thinking quickly, Princess Yang poured him a cup of cold water and said, "However, the prince has not mentioned this matter to the priest and Wu Jieyu, because the prince still wants to see if you are worthy of his appearance to protect the media. You should know that although Wu Jieyu is not the imperial concubine, he is not less favored by the emperor than the imperial concubine. Just say that this amnesty, which concubine can receive the emperor's amnesty to celebrate after giving birth to a child? It is enough to show Wu Jieyu's position in the heart of the emperor. Such a family lintel, if it were not the person the prince valued the most, the prince would not have come to protect the media. Now, although you have done a good job, there is still some distance from the prince's expectations, and you still need to further prove it to the prince. Do you have confidence?"

Xiao Family Ding understood that he was picking a bamboo pole in front of the mule and horse's head, tied a handful of tender grass, and seducing the mule and horse to keep walking forward. He hurriedly bowed and said, "I said that. Regardless of whether the prince has rewarded me or not, I will do my best to do my best to do my best for the prince and the princess. If I can marry Wu Jieyu's sister, it will be the grace of the prince and the princess. Of course, it is also the smoke from the ancestral grave of our Xiao family."

Princess Yang chuckled and said, "Okay, it seems that you really like this marriage. Then I will tell the prince, protect the media with you as soon as possible so that you will not be too eager to see you."

"Thank you! Thank you Princess!"

"Don't thank you first. Let me tell you the truth. The reason why I didn't propose marriage is, on the one hand, because the prince and I want to see your true abilities again. On the other hand, it is because you are just a little clerk now. If you want to marry the sister of the Concubine of the Supreme Concubine, you will climb to the high branch of the royal family. Your identity is far from enough. No matter what, you have to have a half-official position so that the prince can speak. Of course, it is best to be able to please the Concubine of the Supreme Concubine and the Concubine Wu, and this matter will be done. So in the final analysis, you have to do it yourself and achieve a career."

"Yes, I will definitely work hard to do my best to serve the prince and the princess until my death!"

"That's good. In two days, the prince will resume prison enrollment. You still follow him and handle the cases I have assigned to you. Of course, the cases assigned by the prince must also be handled. Only by showing your talents more can you have a basis for the prince to promote and reuse, so as not to others be dissatisfied. Do you understand?"

"Understood."

After leaving the palace, Xiao Jiading was secretly happy. Why did Li Ke think of introducing Wu Zetian's sister to him? This is really what he wants, and everything he wants will come true. It seems that before Li Ke was beaten to death, he could rest assured that he could become her brother-in-law through him and become her brother-in-law.

The most urgent task is to handle the cases assigned by the princess. However, when Xiao Jiading thought of these cases, he was too impatient. He had seen all these cases, but if he had to handle them well, he would be sure of them at all.

——————————————

The prison registration continued, and they continued their last itinerary and came to Shehong County, Zizhou.

As usual, Xiao Jiading first handled the case assigned by Princess Yang. Here, there was also a case assigned by Princess Yang. King Shu Li Ke chose the route and had fully considered the case that Princess Yang wanted to handle, so there were almost one or two cases that she wanted to handle at every stop. There was one here.

The case is a bit complicated. The case is as follows: A large Wang family in Shehong County, whose daughter was killed at home and her head was cut off. Mr. Wang and his wife suspected that it was done by their son-in-law Fei Jin, so they sued the yamen. The yamen investigated the scene and found the blood palm prints of the murderer left at the scene, which coincided with the son-in-law's palm! At the same time, a rolled-mouthed kitchen knife was found, which was also his family's. However, the son-in-law Fei Jin refused to admit it. Under the punishment, he finally confessed and sentenced to death. He reported to the prefecture government office. As a result, he turned over the confession and complained about his injustice, and the case was sent back to retrial.

After the review, the county government decided to re-sent the sentence because Mr. Wang was a gentry with status in the county and his ancestors were an official in the Sui Dynasty, so the county magistrate informed the matter in advance and sought his opinions. Mr. Wang was very angry and thought that it was the son-in-law who spent money to bribe the relationship and escaped from the crime. He went around the bush and found Princess Yang through the relationship and told her all kinds of domestic violence against her daughter. Princess Yang was very sympathetic and angry when she heard this, and she was also very angry with the person who committed domestic violence against her wife. After talking to Li Ke, Li Ke initially felt that this case was really a problem, but she was afraid that it was really an unjust case and said that the verdict could not be forced. But Princess Yang also felt that Mr. Wang was pitiful, so Princess Yang handed the case to Xiao Jiading, demanding that even if this was an unjust case, she would find someone to punish the son-in-law for the crime.

Xiao Jiading felt that it was the request of finding someone to punish others for their crimes, which was to find bones in eggs. Xiao Jiading was very reluctant to do such a thing, but he had no choice but to refuse. Because this was something that Princess Yang assigned.

So after he arrived at the county town, he first reviewed all the files. After reading them, he also found that the case was indeed full of doubts:

First of all, several blood handprints left on the scene were just the appearance matched with the criminal Fei Jin. This does not mean anything. There are too many people who match the palm prints, just like many people with the same blood type, so the palm prints are like blood type, and can only be used for exclusion and identification. But the same identification cannot be used.

Secondly, the criminal has never pleaded guilty and only pleaded guilty after being tortured. He immediately changed his confession when he arrived at the state yamen, so the authenticity of the confession is questionable;

Third, the kitchen knife at the mouth of the roll was from the criminal Fei Jin. This cannot explain the problem, because the crime scene was in the home where the two lived. What's so strange about having their kitchen knife? Others can also sneak in and use their kitchen knife to kill his wife. Therefore, none of these three conviction evidences have any proof.

Finally, the criminal Fei Jin presented a strong and opposite evidence, that is, the judiciary of the prefecture government office conducted a serious review of the corpse grid made in the county office. After questioning the relevant coroner, he believed that the broken skin on the neck of the corpse was as old as before. The blood was not stagnant, the skin tightened, and the blood flowed very little at the end of the knife, which proved that the head was chopped off after death, rather than the criminal Fei Jin, who was found in the first instance, cut off the deceased with a knife. Moreover, according to the corpse grid, there was no other trauma, and the real cause of death was unknown. Hence, he sent back for retrial.

The county magistrate called another coroner in panic to ask, proving that the old coroner of the prefecture government made sense. Therefore, he was preparing to change his sentence.

After reading the file, Xiao Jiading felt that the evidence is indeed too weak, and there is also a contrary evidence that the deceased was dismembered after death, rather than being hacked to death. However, whether the deceased had any other injuries, that is, the cause of her death is unclear. It is not clear how she died. It has been several months since the incident, and the body is afraid that it has rotted and has no value for investigation.

The biggest loophole in this case is that the body was dismembered after death, which must have been proved by multiple coroners. The real cause of death was because the county coroner mistakenly determined the injury after death as a life injury during the autopsy, and the deceased died of a knife and cut his neck, so no other cause of death was investigated. The cause of death was unknown. - I didn't even understand how to die, so how could it be said that Fei Jin did it?

Xiao Jiading smiled bitterly. This ancient case was handled really roughly. Such a case that was life-threatening to be handled is actually done like this.

Now it seems that the case itself is not a problem, and to complete Princess Yang's desire to inflict crimes, one can only start from another. So Xiao Jiading decided to interrogate the case criminal Fei Jin first.

He came to the county jail and interrogated Fei Jin.

When he saw this person, Xiao Jiading felt uncomfortable all over. At first glance, he looked like a playboy with a slutty head. The file information shows that his family is also a famous rich man in the county. Although he is not as rich as Mr. Wang's family, he is considered a rich man. Seeing his stupid appearance, Xiao Jiading felt very uncomfortable.

Perhaps because he knew that this case might be re-sinned and his life was worry-free, Fei Jin looked very relaxed, and even looked at Xiao Jiading wearing the robes of the clerk with his eyes slanted. This made Xiao Jiading even more angry, and he had the idea of ​​finding out the fault in his mind no matter what, he would cure his crime.

But this thought flashed through and he returned to peace. Whether he wanted to punish the crime depends on whether he was really guilty. The so-called "what is wrong to add a crime" is the so-called "what is wrong to add a crime, and if there is no sin, even if there is a sin, he cannot add a crime by himself. This is the principle, and not to turn black and white into a legal person is the most basic legal quality.

Xiao Jiading tried his best to calm himself down. He said, "I am in charge of the prisoner of your case under the order of the Prince of Shu. In other words, how to deal with your case, I need to make a decision based on the verification situation. Therefore, you must honestly explain the truth and cooperate with me to find out the matter clearly. Otherwise, you will suffer. Have you heard it clearly?"

Fei Jin then calmed down a little, stood up a little, and his voice became respectful: "Report to me, I've heard it clearly."

"Okay, you can tell the story as much as possible."

"Okay!" Fei Jin cleared his throat, "Actually, my wife and I are very loving. We never quarrel. That day, I went to my uncle's house to drink at noon, but I got drunk. On the way back, I fell into the grass and slept for a night. After waking up, I went home. As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I saw the neighbors surrounded me. I quickly asked what was wrong? The neighbor, Mrs. Li, said that she saw the door of my yard was open, so she called my wife twice.

I didn't hear the promise, so I went in. But I saw my wife beheaded and died in the inner room. I immediately reported to the official. Now the official was investigating. I quickly separated the crowd and went in. I saw my wife lying on the ground, her head rolling aside, and a huge pile of blood was scared to my legs. But my father-in-law said that I must have killed me, so the official arrested me. - How could I do this? But the official didn't listen and started to torture me..."

"Okay, needless to say, there are a few questions I want to ask you, you must answer truthfully."

"good!"

"You said you were drunk in the grass. Does anyone prove it? Has anyone seen it? Or who did you see it?"

Fei Jin smiled bitterly: "I'm drunk, how can I know who can prove it? I went home alone. No one saw it."

"Then, can anyone prove that you are going to drink?"

"Of course there is this. The Fourth Uncle's family got married that day and I went to have a drink, and many people saw it."

"Well, are you and your wife living alone?"

"Yes! My sister-in-law encouraged my elder brother to split up the family. My parents annoyed him and even got annoyed me, so we agreed and we separated and lived alone. It has been several years."

"When did you get home?"

"It's almost dark."

"Since you said it wasn't yours, who probably was the one who killed your wife?"

"I don't know this. My wife is not in the world. She is a dignified and virtuous person. She has no entanglement with others. I really don't know who she offended and want to attack her." After speaking, Fei Jin's voice was a little choked, but for some reason, Xiao Jiading always felt a little pretending, maybe it was because he had a bad impression of him at the beginning.

After the interrogation, Xiao Jiading came out and stood at the door of the prison for a long time. Judging from the situation of the corpse recorded in the corpse grid, the time of investigation was at the right time (6 pm), and the corpse had slight corpse spots and corpse zombies. Judging from the time of the time, the death time was just in Shenshi. If what Fei Jin said was true, then when he was sleeping in the grass when he was murdering, there would be no time for the crime.
