"There are no traces of ropes or external injuries?" Han Qing heard this and immediately became more suspicious. "In midsummer, the corpse was soaked in the Bianhe River for five days. How could it not be highly decomposed? The editor of Kaifeng Prefecture judged the external injuries from the highly decomposed corpse. That's all, but he can still judge the traces of ropes, which is too much."
"This..." Yang Wenguang frowned, and his face suddenly became serious, "Old Zhou personally examined the corpse. He has been working in Kaifeng Mansion for almost twenty years, but he has never made any mistakes. If, if... "
He really didn't want to suspect that there were people who were seeking personal gain and bending the law within the Kaifeng Mansion. However, the question raised by Han Qing was stuck on the idea, making it impossible for him to ignore it. Therefore, he pursed his lips for a long time, but I haven't had the courage yet to express my subsequent speculation.
If Lao Zhou is accused of corruption and bending the law, wouldn't there be problems with many of the major and important cases that Kaifeng Mansion has solved before?
In that case, looking back from now on, at least six Kaifeng governors have solved confusing cases under the misleading of Lao Zhou. Kou Zhun, Lu Mengzheng, Lu Duan, Li Hang, and even Shen Lun, who has been dead for many years, Everyone's reputation will be ruined.
"Just because he hasn't made a mistake before, it doesn't necessarily mean he hasn't made a mistake recently. Or maybe he has some unique skills that can reveal the marks of strangulation on highly decomposed corpses." Taking Yang Wenguang's performance into consideration, Han Qing smiled and said, Let's let go of this doubt for the moment. "Also, what was Xiao Huai'en's reputation like during his lifetime? Was he fat or thin? Where is his family? Can his children reach adulthood?"
"Xiao Huai'en had a good reputation during his lifetime. Although he did a good job in civil service, he was not bookish. He could be brothers with the commanders and heads of the Pai'an Department. He could also write good willow script. Which official in the Planning Department had such a problem? When it comes to weddings and weddings, he helps to organize things." Seeing that Han Qing no longer clings to the suspicion of Lao Zhou, Yang Wenguang felt relieved and quickly told everything he had learned through investigation, "The only problem is that he is greedy for drinking and always likes to put himself in trouble. He gets very drunk. After drinking too much, he likes to complain that he is not being recognized for his talents."
This is a common problem among scholars. Han Qing often saw the same scene in another world. Therefore, he didn't take it seriously. Just as he was about to remind Yang Wenguang that this was not what he wanted to know, he heard the other party sigh and add in a low voice, "That's why he fell into the water when he was drunk and walked up and down the bank, so few people were surprised. As for his figure, he is very fat. From a distance, he looks like a cook, not a scholar at all."
"After a fat man drowns, he floats much faster than a normal-sized person." Han Qingzhi took over and quickly pointed out the next doubtful point.
"Judge Zhe said the same thing at the beginning." Yang Wenguang thought for a moment and declared for the second time that Zhe Weizhong and Han Qing had the same opinions. "But it did take five days for the body to surface. Xiao Huaien's wife and neighbor Zhu The teaching assistants all came to identify him and were sure it was him. His wife and he were both from Bianliang and were childhood sweethearts. They cried and fainted on the spot. However, they had been married for many years, but they had neither a boy nor a girl. So he died. Later, there was no one in the house to support the lintel, and his wife had no independent ideas. At first, she went crazy to avenge her husband. Later, Huang Liang, the captain of the patrol on the river, asked someone to explain to him, and he took the initiative to withdraw. case."
