Xiao Jiading frowned and said, "Why is this not recorded in Zhao's confession?"

"Because she was the only one who said this, County Magistrate Kang felt that she was quibbling. If this was the case, wouldn't it be a manslaughter? So she didn't accept her statement."

"Well, have you asked the man who had an affair with Zhao, the mother of the deceased, what Tong said?"

"No, because Tong said that it was night, and she just saw a man making peace with Zhao in the wilderness outside the house. She screamed in fear and the man ran away. So she didn't see who the man was."

"This is troublesome." Xiao Jiading said: "Then the statement is only Tong's statement, and there is no other evidence to prove it?"

"That's not true, so the final statement was not accepted by the Magistrate Kang County.

"The motive for murder in this case is neither the saying that Zhao's own manslaughter, nor the saying that Tong's communication and rape were broken, wouldn't it be motive?"

County Magistrate Deng nodded: "Yes, I thought of this when I reported it. However, this murder case with an unspeakable motive was tried before and sentenced to death. Nothing above said was approved. So this case may not be doubtful in this regard?

Xiao Jiading said: "If this is not the case, then I can't think of other doubts. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"That's all."

Back at the signing room, Xiao Jiading concentrated on reading the previous verdict of Wu Donghai. After only a few of them, he found a lot of mistakes. Fortunately, these cases were basically cases where the county government had the power to end the first instance, and they were just flogging, cannon, or spanking. He didn't want to look down, for fear that he would handle any major case wrong, so he would have endless rubbing. The information in his hand was enough.

He was about to take the verdict to report to the magistrate Kang County, but he saw that County Magistrate Deng was waving to him not far from the door, so he put down the verdict, walked over, and said, "Is there anything wrong?"

"There is nothing else." County Magistrate Deng whispered: "Wu Haidong, the clerk in the execution room, said that he wanted to invite you to dinner tonight. I will accompany you. He has some filial piety to honor you. I don't know..."

Xiao Jiading sneered in his stomach. Isn’t Wu Donghai very ostentatious? Didn’t he say he had no choice but to do anything to him? It seems that County Magistrate Deng and others did their jobs later and persuaded him to surrender first, so they treated him. However, it was useless. Such a person who didn’t understand the law at all stayed in the yamen and would only cause trouble for himself and had to be driven away! He was already prepared.

At this moment, Xiao Jiading was in a difficult position and whispered: "I was about to tell you about this matter! Oh, this matter is troublesome, and I don't know what's going on. County Magistrate Kang called me just now and said that Wu Donghai, a clerk, didn't understand the law at all and often handled wrong cases. He had already considered dismissing him."

County Magistrate Deng was shocked and looked at Xiao Jiading. Xiao Jiading did not dodge his gaze and frowned, "We both said privately that although Wu Haidong really doesn't understand the criminal law, he is still a good person. It's not good to just drive him away like this. I originally wanted to have a relationship with Magistrate Kang, but I was just a first-timer and it's hard to say about it. Otherwise, you go to Magistrate Kang to talk about it for him?"

Wu Haidong often handles wrong cases. County Magistrate Deng knew that because his robe, Xing Xuzhong, was very good at criminal law. He told him and corrected it several times. The yamen also knew that he did not understand criminal law at all, but he liked to stay in the punishment room. Maybe it was because of the fact that County Magistrate Kang knew about Wu Haidong and considered dismissing him. However, it was not like this before. Now, when the Xiao family came, County Magistrate Kang had to consider dismissing Wu Haidong. The connection between the two was probably self-evident.

County Magistrate Deng looked at Xiao Jiading again. This matter was probably because Xiao Jiading, the new Zhiyi, wanted to use this matter to kill the chicken for the monkey. He could not ruin his plan. It was really not worth it for a small Wu Haidong. Besides, if County Magistrate Kang had decided to dismiss Wu Haidong, even if he had to plead with him, it would be useless. He knew that County Magistrate Kang would not change easily.

So, County Magistrate Deng said, "No need to say, in fact, I have long been disgusted with Wu Haidong. I have no ability and are very ostentatious. I often handle wrong cases and let him learn the criminal law well. He doesn't listen. How can such a person stay in our torture room? It's better to drive him away as soon as possible. I won't make a big mistake in the future! I'll say goodbye."

After saying that, County Magistrate Deng bowed and went back.

Xiao Jiading smiled slightly and looked at his back. The old fox was very good at changing his mind. However, if this matter was exposed to County Magistrate Kang, it would be a matter of not being as simple as driving him out.

When he returned to the signing room, Xiao Jiading took the verdicts and came to the several cases of the magistrate Kang County Magistrate, bowed and said, "Mr. Kang County Magistrate, I found that there were some problems with the verdicts of these sects."

"Oh?" County Magistrate Kang immediately became nervous when he heard that there was something wrong with the verdict.

You should know that one of the very important contents of the political achievements of ancient officials was prison lawsuits. If there was a big problem with this, no matter how good you did in other aspects, it would be rejected.

Xiao Jiading said that several cases were wrongly sentenced one by one. Some were sentenced to guilty without any guilt or were sentenced to serious crimes, while others were sentenced to false crimes with minor crimes with minor crimes with no guilt.

County Magistrate Kang's face became increasingly ugly. When he finished listening, his old face turned almost green and he said in a deep voice: "Who handled these cases?"

"It was all undertaken by a clerk named Wu Haidong."

County Magistrate Kang asked: "How should we deal with the crime of entering and leaving the person?"

The crime of entering and leaving the person is the crime that a judge should bear if he deliberately or negligently handles a wrong case. The general principle is to decide the punishment based on the situation of his serious crime and his minor sentence. Xiao Jiading said: "I have seen this. In this case, he may be sentenced to one year of a prisoner."

"Okay! Arrest him immediately..."

"Mr. Kang County Magistrate, this is not very safe!"

County Magistrate Kang was stunned. After thinking about his words, he immediately understood what Xiao Jiading said. Wu Haidong was just a clerk in charge of the punishment room. He just took out the draft judgment and submitted it to him layer by layer. He went to the court to make the case, and those who should be beaten the board should be beaten, and those who should be sentenced to the government office. Therefore, if he really pursued the case, the county magistrate who made the final judgment would be blamed. If he was really held responsible for his crimes of entering and leaving the person, he would be sentenced to one year of a prisoner. The county magistrate could not be finalized in the first instance, and he must be reported to the provincial government office for the second instance. Isn't that the person above knew that he had handled the wrong case? If the censor knew about it and wrote it to one book, he might not have any official hats.

Fortunately, Xiao Jiading reminded him. County Magistrate Kang looked at him gratefully, nodded slowly, and pondered: "Is there anything wrong with this person?"

Xiao Jiading understood that County Magistrate Kang was looking for another reason to deal with Wu Haidong. He had already inquired about this with Zhu Haiyin and whispered: "I heard that this person had only given birth to a son two months ago. But his father had just died for two years. If this is true, then he was a dead son. According to the criminal law, he would be sentenced to one year of prison!"

"Yeah!" County Magistrate Kang nodded, "You have done a good job. Go and tell Captain Dai and let him investigate the case personally. He will never tolerate it! He will report the results of the investigation and punishment to our county!"

"yes!"

Xiao Jiading went out to the detective room. When the captain Dai saw him, he greeted him with a smile on his face, clasped his fists and said, "I'm paying homage to Xiao Zhiyi!"

Logically speaking, Captain Dai was a yamen runner, and Xiao Jiading was just a clerk. The two had no superiors and subordinates. Captain Dai actually claimed to be subordinate, which was naturally a kind of trust in Xiao Jiading.

Xiao Jiading hurriedly said, "Daiming the captain, our brothers, don't you need to be so polite, right?"

After hearing from Xiao Jiading that the two were "brothers", Captain Dai's whole body was fluttering and his smile became even brighter. He hurriedly welcomed him to his room.

Xiao Jiading said: "Brother, I'm here to find you today, there's something you want to do."

"Brother, even if you say that I'm going through fire and water, I'm not refusing to do anything!" Since Xiao Jiading has already said that the two are their own brothers, the title of "Catcher Detective" was immediately changed and Xiao Jiading was called the eldest brother. In fact, he is much older than Xiao Jiading.

Xiao Jiading was not polite, and said, "Brother, this matter is not my private matter, but I asked me to convey the instructions. The magistrate Kang County heard that Wu Haidong, the clerk of the criminal room of our county, actually gave birth to a child during his father's mourning! Such a traitor made Prince Kang very angry. You will personally investigate and handle this matter. If it is true, you will never tolerate it. Such a traitor must be brought to justice! You must report the result to the magistrate Kang County."

"Yes! The young one will handle it right away!" Captain Dai whispered again: "I also heard that Wu Haidong has repeatedly solicited bribes from the victims of the case. Should I check it together?"

If Wu Haidong accepts bribes and handles the wrong case, then the wrong case will eventually be issued after the magistrate Kang County was promoted to the court to trial. If the wrong case is involved, he will be implicated, which cannot happen. So Xiao Jiading shook his head and said, "Forget it, family scandals should not be made public. If anything else can be investigated, it is better not to be troublesome if it is related to our yamen."

After all, Captain Dai was a man from the yamen for many years, and immediately understood what Xiao Jiading meant. He nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I understand."
