Chapter 32 Corporal Li Xian
Of course Kuang Yuxiang knew that there would be no pies in the sky, but she had already used all available methods, and if she couldn't save her father, she would really have to watch her father being put on the execution ground.

Kuang Yuxiang, who holds the power of a dead horse to be a living horse doctor, chooses to listen to the strange little lady beside her, and leaves with her from the gate of the mansion, and finally follows her all the way into an inn.

It happened that Ping Niang was going upstairs with big bags and small bags. When she saw that the person beside Yingxiu was not the second lady, but a little lady she didn't know, she panicked and ran over to ask: "Where is the second lady? What's the matter?"

Yingxiu just shook her head and replied, "Second Lady has something important to do, so the maidservant invited this one back first. It's the Kuang little lady that Second Lady mentioned. .”

Just as Shen Qingling had instructed Yingxiu, she also mentioned to Pingniang and Uncle Fu that she wanted to save one person in Yangzhou and take one in.Of course Ping Niang and Uncle Fu are good friends, as long as Shen Qingling is happy, even if they want to take in hundreds of people, they will not say a word.

"So it's Miss Kuang." Ping Niang relaxed, and said to Kuang Yuxiang with a smile, "Then you go and sit in the room, and I'll arrange a meal for you."

After walking a few steps, Ping Niang came back again and asked, "Is there any taboo?"

Kuang Yuxiang was still a little dazed, so he said in a low voice, "Whatever, I'm not picky."

Yingxiu on this side helped Shen Qingling to retain Kuang Yuxiang, but Shen Qingling on the other side was invited to the main hall and treated each other with courtesy.It seems that Ren Bingyi is indeed as rumored, appointing people on their merits and being very fair.

It was extremely quiet in the main hall.

The clerks on both sides were writing vigorously, and Ren Shaoyan and Ren Shaochun sat at the end of the row on the right. look steadily forward.

It seems that Ren Bingyi has accumulated a lot of power.

In front of the hall, a man wearing a flail in ragged clothes fell to his knees. There were many wounds on his face, and he must have been tortured.

Under Ren Bingyi's order, the yamen servant led Shen Qingling into the first seat on Ren Bingyi's left, and then carefully showed her tea, and thoughtfully placed the file of the case being tried in front of Shen Qingling.

Ren Bingyi waited until Shen Qingling sat down firmly, then raised his head to look over, and said: "I heard that Miss Shen has wonderful skills and ideas, so I invite Miss Shen to sit here and try a case with me, how about it?"

All the people sitting around are people from the government office, Shen Qingling and a woman live among them, she is not bad at all.

Ren Shaoming then came in, first he bowed to Ren Bingyi in the hall, and then sat down beside Ren Shaochun consciously.The two younger brothers also sat upright, looking dazed and holding their breath.

Shen Qingling bowed to Ren Bingyi calmly, and replied: "I just know some heresy, it's nothing compared to the adults in the government office, but since my lord invites me to sit here, I will definitely live up to my expectations .”

After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at the impoverished man kneeling in the hall, and reached out to flick the file in front of her.

Surnamed Yu, named Ben, a native of Qizhou, thirty-two years old, at midnight on October 20, the first year of Yuande, he stole [-] taels of silver from Jiangfu in the western suburbs of Yangzhou. , committed a murder by mistake.

There were no witnesses or obvious physical evidence at the scene of the crime.

Afterwards, Wu Zuo inspected the body of the watchman repeatedly, and finally managed to dig out half of the rags from the watchman's throat, which just matched the robe that Yu Ben usually wore.

"Then... Regarding this case, what is Miss Shen's opinion?" Ren Bingyi asked gently.

The reason why Yu Ben's case was pulled out by Ren Bingyi for retrial was because the evidence in the case was indeed not rigorous, and on the other hand, it was because Yu Ben had a mother in her 70s at home.

The old woman cried and robbed the ground on Fuya Street twice in three days. As time passed, there were more gossip about Yu Ben's case.

Some people said that on the day of the crime, Yu Ben was clearly taking care of the blind old mother at home, so how could he appear in the western suburbs to steal and kill people?Some people said that Yu Ben was the most honest, and he would not even dare to kill chickens and ducks on weekdays, let alone kill people.

Shen Qingling pointed her finger on the table, pondered, and asked: "What clothes were you wearing on the day when the crime happened?"

Yu Ben, who was kneeling, was actually a little lifeless. He had been in the prison for so many years, and he had already lost confidence in tomorrow. It was only about when he died. If he died early, he might suffer less.

So when he heard the question, he couldn't react for a while, until the yamen servant came over and called him, he looked up as if he had just woken up from a dream, and looked up at the hall master Ren Bingyi.

"She is asking you." Ren Bingyi pointed at Shen Qingling.

Shen Qingling asked again: "What kind of clothes were you wearing on the day of the incident?"

Yu Ben thought about it for a while, and murmured: "It's that dress, the one with a corner missing, the little one doesn't know when and where the dress was cut, and when the official sent a master to come to the door, the little one will see it." I know something is wrong."

The missing corner is not the one in the throat.

"What did you do that day, do you still remember? Try to tell me exactly what you did." Shen Qingling persuaded her, turned her eyes to the clerk at the side, and signaled him to make a record.

After three years, when Yu Ben talked about the events of that day, it was almost the same as the previous files. In the past three years, he had recalled countless times either by force or on his own initiative.

When the two confessions were finally presented in front of Shen Qingling, Tang Xia Yu Ben was already in tears.

Ren Bingyi has been observing Shen Qingling, from expression to demeanor, carefully pondering everything.Ever since his second and third sons sent the dossiers, Ren Bingyi had taken a fancy to this little lady surnamed Shen. When the elder son handed over the method of classification to the main hall, Ren Bingyi almost immediately asked his subordinates to pick her up. .

With such a talent, it doesn't matter if she is a woman or if she has some conspiracy?That meticulous analysis of mind alone is worthy of Ren Bingyi as a virtuous corporal.

Besides, Ren Bingyi is sure of himself and thinks he can control such sages.

"You said that you went out to work at Chenshi, and you only came back at Shenshi, and after you got home, you never went out except for a trip to the city east market." Shen Qingling clicked on the confession, and took things apart one by one. Asked, "But in your mother's statement, she took a nap at Youshi, what are you doing during this?"

Yu Ben took his mother to live in an old broken house in the east of the city, and it took at least an hour to rush from the east of the city to Jiang's house in the western suburbs. In terms of time alone, his mother's confession was enough to clear Yu Ben of suspicion.

However, they are relatives.

According to the law of the Li Dynasty, whether the confession of a close person is credible depends on the chief judge of the trial.
