Chapter 451 It’s the waistband that’s causing trouble again
,
Li Ji's story-telling skills are pretty good, and the story-in-case involved in a murder case is narrated from his mouth, which is fascinating.
When Li Qinzai heard the passage about Li Jingye's lust for the prisoner's wife, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
What the hell is that romantic thing about loose waistbands?
…Why can’t I encounter such a good thing?
Li Jizheng said, and when he saw Li Qinzai's expression, his old face suddenly sank: "What are you thinking about?"
Li Qinzai immediately sat upright: "My grandson is thinking about how my cousin will handle this case."
Li Ji showed a satisfied look: "You are indeed the Qilin'er of my Li family. You are more promising than your unsatisfactory cousin."
Then Li Ji continued.
When Li Jingye met the prisoner's wife, it was certainly not as exaggerated as the thunder from the sky and the fire on the ground. Li Jingye was not that charming.
In the back hall of the governor's office, the prisoner's wife knelt in front of Li Jingye, pleading and crying. With the prisoner's wife's explanation, Li Jingye learned the hidden truth behind the case.
It turned out that the deceased was not a good person. Seeing that the prisoner's wife was beautiful, he often harassed and molested her in the village. The prisoner argued with him several times, but the deceased remained stubborn and returned to his old ways after a few days.
Finally one day, the deceased did something even more outrageous. He peeped at the prisoner's wife taking a bath and was discovered on the spot. The prisoner became furious and impulsively wiped the deceased's throat with a sickle.
In short, the prisoner committed this major crime, which is difficult to tolerate under the law and is excusable.
After learning the secret behind the case, Li Jingye was very hesitant.
In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were ordered to compile the "Zhenguan Code" and publish it throughout the world. The Zhenguan Code consists of twelve chapters and five hundred articles.
No matter which section of the Zhenguan Law is used to explain the crime committed by Liuzhou prisoners, according to the law, life must be paid for life.
But the law is actually very flexible. Different presiding judges will often come up with different results.
Especially when there is such a secret behind this case, and more importantly, the prisoner's wife is so beautiful...
Li Jingye is not a kind person, but in front of a beautiful woman, for some reason, his kindness attributes are suddenly fully enhanced.
So Li Jingye took on the official airs, speaking harshly and harshly at first, and then speaking softly and softly.
After a set of officialdom routines, the prisoner's wife is also a wise old horse who has experienced human affairs. She knows that she must pay a price to rescue her husband, so she raises her eyebrows, lowers her head coyly, and the charm of wanting to welcome but rejecting is charming.
Li Jingye has always been a pioneer in the romantic circle, and is certainly no stranger to the naive and immature seduction techniques of the prisoner's wife.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and then they accomplished something good in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion.
Afterwards, Li Jingye was kind enough, and immediately sent his confidants to the village where the incident occurred, and paid the deceased's family ten guan in compensation, and also frightened the family members. After all, the deceased was at fault first.
The relatives took the money but did not dare to offend the officials, so they wisely withdrew the petition.
Li Jingye also instructed the head of the village to collect petitions from villagers. This probably meant that the deceased had a bad record, and the prisoner accidentally killed someone out of anger and impulsiveness. He should be executed for the crime, and his circumstances are forgivable.
The victim withdrew the petition, and the villagers petitioned again, so the case was changed by Li Jingye to a sentence of exile in Qiongnan, with a ten-year ban on return.
Hearing this, Li Qinzai said curiously: "Isn't this happy to everyone? There is nothing wrong with my cousin's conclusion of the case. Even if he did not have an affair with the prisoner's wife, there is nothing wrong just looking at the surface of the case. Who can take this case if they are full?" Let’s talk about the case?”
Li Ji Leng snorted: "It was originally right, but something happened again..."
Li Qinzai sighed: "Grandpa, your wave has not subsided yet, and another wave is coming, the vast sea of people..."
"Shut up and stop talking. Your words are as disgusting as your urine." Li Ji said coldly.
Li Qinzai continued to sit upright.
This murder case in Liuzhou was already handled relatively perfectly. Apart from not keeping his belt in check, Li Jingye basically made no other mistakes in handling this case.
But it was his lack of control over his belt that put him in a quagmire.
The prisoner was sentenced to exile in Qiongnan. After his wife and Li Jingye had a one-night stand, they followed her husband on the road.
However, something suddenly happened, and the victim who had withdrawn the complaint regretted it again. After Li Jingye returned to Chang'an claiming to be ill, he filed another complaint against the prisoner, saying that the case was unfair and how could the prisoner not pay for his life after killing someone.
After the incident, just a few days ago, news came from Qiongnan that the prisoner and his wife had been killed.
It is said that the husband was cut into pieces with a knife, but the wife was stabbed in the abdomen with a sword, bleeding a lot. Before she died, the wife dipped her index finger in the blood and wrote Li Jingye's name on the wall, and finally died.
The news reached Chang'an a few days ago. At that time, Li Jingye was involved in another scandal, that is, the incident of stealing the concubine of the Minister of Civil Affairs. He was impeached by the censors to the point of death.
Who would have thought that a murder case was reported in Qiongnan, which was directly related to Li Jingye.
The censors suddenly went crazy, and some people directly impeached Li Jingye in front of Li Zhi at the court meeting.
The censors impeached Li Jingye on the charge of murder and silence.
Li Jingye's affair with the prisoner's wife was actually no secret. It happened in the backyard of the governor's mansion, and the servants in the governor's mansion were not blind.
The prisoner and his wife died tragically, and Li Jingye's name was left on the wall. It was clearly Li Jingye who saw the incident, so he urgently sent people to Qiongnan to silence the prisoner and his wife, and completely cut off the personal and material evidence.
At the court meeting, Li Zhi was also a little confused by the news, and he didn't know whether it was true or false for a while. However, public opinion had aroused and the courtiers were furious. Li Zhi had no choice but to send Wang Changfu to the Duke's Mansion to ask Li Ji for his opinion.
What else could Li Ji say? Of course it is state-owned and state-owned. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, I will never show favoritism.
As a result, Li Jingye was questioned by Dali Temple and imprisoned.
Li Qinzai also understood Li Ji's intention of urgently recalling him to Chang'an.
Li Ji was a meritorious figure in three dynasties and a very prestigious old prince. When his grandson committed a crime, Li Ji also stated that he would never show favoritism.
But there is clearly a conspiracy behind this case, and Li Ji is not someone who just waits to be killed. Although the Li family has a prosperous family, only Li Qinzai is the most suitable to handle this matter.
"Grandpa, what should my grandson do?"
Li Ji's eyebrows were half-closed and he said slowly: "Let's get to the bottom of the matter. Although Jingye is at fault, I believe he was not the one who killed the person. This matter was clearly framed deliberately by someone. Maybe it was against me, or maybe it was against me." With you."
The figure of Empress Wu suddenly appeared in Li Qinzai's mind.
As if he could see what Li Qinzai was thinking, Li Ji glanced at him and said, "Don't make random guesses about who the enemy is before everything is clear. Take it step by step and give justice to your cousin first. If the enemy can't calm down, Sooner or later it will pop out on its own."
Li Qinzai said softly: "Anyone who dares to frame my cousin against our government must have a high status, right? A person with an ordinary official position is probably not qualified to frame our family."
Li Ji seemed to be asleep, his eyes closed and silent.
