My baby is gone again

Chapter 117 Your Green Immortal Society also knows how to investigate cases? !

Lu Xuan's eyes were burning like a torch, and his voice was clear and clear:
"According to the opinion of this county, it is clear that you stole Han Xian's child at the Lantern Festival, and then joined forces with the concubine and servant at home to fabricate lies.

In fact, this baby is not your baby at all. "

"Small man...Small man is born with an indifferent temperament, even if his heart is sad, he can't cry."

Wang Pan argued to himself:
"As for the Lantern Festival, I have never been there, and all the servants in the family can testify to me!"

Lu Xuan sneered:

"I know you're not convinced, come and show me the evidence!"

The magistrate gave an order.

Several yamen servants brought the two of them up.

One male and one female.

The man is about 60 years old and dressed as a servant.

The woman looked to be in her thirties, with a plump figure, but she was a beautiful woman.

"Caomin Xu Er, I have met your lord."

The old servant bowed.

"Master Lin, the daughter of the people, has met your lord."

The beautiful woman bowed to Lu Xuan.

"Wang Pan."

Lu Xuan opened his mouth, and he pointed to Mrs. Lin:

"Do you recognize this woman?"

"In the words of adults, I don't know."

Wang Pan said.

Lu Xuan turned to Lin again:
"Then do you know him?"

"My lord, Minnv knows him."

Lin replied.

"How did you know him?"

Lu Xuan asked.

"Minnv is a zongzi seller in the west of the city. On the day of the Lantern Festival, this person once bought my zongzi."

Lin said so.

"There should be a lot of customers that night, how do you remember him?"

Lu Xuandao.

"Because when this person bought rice dumplings, he took a long time to pick and choose. He insisted that my rice dumplings were too tangled and troublesome to take apart, and asked me to charge him a penny less."

Lin snorted, obviously very dissatisfied:
"The zongzi I sold that day were wrapped with high-quality colored silk thread, which was much more expensive than rice dumplings. If it weren't for the lantern festival in those few days, women would not be willing to use them. He even used this as an excuse to bargain...

This person is so mean and picky, so he is naturally remembered by the women. "

"Wang Pan, you just said that you haven't been to the Lantern Festival yourself, how should you explain it?"

Lu Xuan looked playful.

"This this……"

Wang Pan immediately stuttered.

"Li Ming, have you brought the evidence?"

Lu Xuan said.

"My lord, bring it up."

Li Ming took a step forward.

He was holding a wooden tray in his hand, and on the tray were half a suit of children's clothes and a few pieces of rags.

He pointed to the old servant beside him:
"My lord, this is handed over by this person."

Lu Xuan's tone was severe:

"Xu Er, please explain the cause and effect of this matter clearly. If you dare to make half a sentence untrue, I will punish you!"

When Xu Er heard this, he quickly knelt down on the ground:
"Grass people dare not, grass people dare not!"

"The official has already sent someone to the local cloth shop to inquire. The weaving method of the cloth in this dish is a new craft in Qinghe County."

Lu Xuandao, "This weaving technique has not been passed on to this county, and you are not from Qinghe County, how did you get this clothes?"

"Go back to the words of the adults."

Old Xu didn't dare to hide:
"This dress is old...it was given to me by Wang Pan.

Caomin is the cook of the Wang family. Wang Pan gave me this clothes more than a month ago and asked me to burn it.

I saw that the fabric of the clothes was very good, and I thought it would be a pity to burn them, so I secretly hid them..."

Lu Xuan nodded, and said to Wang Pan:
"The witnesses and the evidence are all there, so what else do you have to deny?"

"The villain... the villain pleads guilty."

The ironclad evidence is like a mountain, and Wang Pan's face is like dead ashes.

He admitted the crime he committed.

A month ago, Wang Pan went to the west of the city to visit the Lantern Festival. After meeting Han Xian's son, he suddenly felt cute.

He thought that he was nearly fifty years old and still had no son, and he felt evil in his heart.

Han Xian was eating noodles at a noodle stall at that time. After eating, he put the child on the seat and got up to pay the bill.

When he came back, the child had been carried away by Wang Pan.

It just so happened that Wang Pan had a concubine who gave birth to a daughter for him a few months ago.

This concubine naturally became the child's "mother".

"Put Wang Pan, the criminal, in jail first, and after signing and detaining him, he will be dealt with according to Dakang Law!"

Lu Xuan pronounced the sentence.

In the lobby, Han Xian got the fairness, but his expression was very dull.

He looked at the dead child as if he couldn't hear or see anything, and he was cut off from the world.

Just at this time.

"Wow--"

A cry sounded.

Han Xian rubbed his eyes, and saw something moving under the white cloth on the ground.

Liu Langzhong's daughter smiled slightly, and bent over to pick up the baby:
"Uncle Han, we didn't intend to play tricks on you. For the sake of the case, we can only let Uncle Han be wronged first."

She reached out and wiped the child's face, and the paint on it was wiped off, and the iron blue color disappeared, revealing the baby's rosy and healthy skin.

This was all arranged by Lu Xuan.

Try it out by pretending to claim that the baby died.

When interrogating Zhang and Zhao.

Lu Zhixian also ordered Li Ming and Lu Ping to do another thing.

The two men split into two groups, Li Ming went to Wang Pan's house in the south of the city, and summoned a group of servants to question him.

Li Ming has a delicate mind and is used to observing words and expressions. Seeing that a few of them had different expressions, he arrested them and interrogated them separately.

Old Xu Tou had never seen much of the world, and in front of the vicious Li Yasi, he quickly lost his mind.

Lu Ping went to the west of the city. He had a friendly face and asked the vendors about Wang Pan.

Finally, I learned from Mrs. Lin that Wang Pan had been to the west of the city on the night of the Lantern Festival.

In fact, Lu Xuan could have presented the evidence directly, using legal principles to pressure people, and make Wang Pan succumb.

But he didn't do that. Instead, he designed a scene of feigning death, and used reason to discern who was the real father of the child.

There are two reasons for Lu Xuan's move.

One is to buy time for the investigation and interrogation outside the lobby and the collection of evidence.

Second, during this process, the emotions of the onlookers were mobilized.

They sympathized with Han Xian's situation, and at the same time knew that their Xinzhi County was a man of flesh and blood, affection and reason.

It's not a clay puppet who stands tall and turns a blind eye to the suffering of the people.

"Cao Min Han Xian, thank you sir..."

Han Xian fell to his knees, weeping bitterly.

After a trial, there were several twists and turns.

In the end, the atmosphere in the lobby reached a climax amidst Lu Xuan's thumping.

When the people surrounding the county government looked at Lu Xuan again, their eyes were different.

From mistrust and fear at the beginning, to curiosity and watching.

Until the end, everyone felt respect and admiration for the new magistrate.

Lu Xuan took a sip of tea:

"Retire."

………………

The next day, early in the morning.

Lu Xuan pushed open the door and stretched.

The little fox Bling Bling ran over, and squatted on his shoe with a small ball of fluff.

Lu Xuanxin said it was bad, I was sealed, and I couldn't move.

Cheng Lingzhu hugged him from behind and rubbed his back.

Lu Xuan tilted his head and said with a smile:
"What, want me to carry you?"

"It would be a bad thing if people saw a pair of strange men and women coming out of the county magistrate's mansion."

Cheng Lingzhu said.

"Then recite it to the door first, and then turn into the appearance of the county magistrate and master when you go out."

Lu Xuan suggested.

"it is good."

Cheng Lingzhu nodded.

So Lu Xuan squatted down, and by the way he lifted the little fox up, Cheng Lingzhu lay on his back, with a pair of lotus root arms wrapped around his neck.

Walking steadily in the mansion, Cheng Lingzhu suddenly became curious:

"How...how does it feel to be behind my back?"

Lu Xuan pondered for a moment:

"Compared with before, the distance between the two of us seems to be much farther."

After all, the chest is attached to the back, and Lu Xuan can still feel the difference very clearly.

Cheng Lingzhu hit him angrily, but after finishing the beating, he hugged Lu Xuan even tighter.

The clothes must be too thick.

Cheng Lingzhu thought to himself.

Otherwise, she and he would definitely be closer.

………………

in the county government.

Lu Zhixian sits in the hall.

Li Ming and Lu Ping had already brewed tea for the county magistrate in a doggy manner.

Lu Xuan looked down at the yamen servants.

All of them have straight waists and bright eyes.

It was in stark contrast to the yawning and distracted appearance a few days ago.

All the yamen servants participated in Lu Xuan's trial yesterday.

Some people maintain order inside the yamen, while others investigate clues outside the yamen.

When the case was solved and the hard-talking criminal had to obey the law, the yamen servants felt a sense of accomplishment in their hearts.

When I greeted Lu Xuan this morning, my voice was much louder.

It can be said that because of Lu Xuan's leadership, the morale of the entire yamen has been improved.

Not long after sitting in the hall, before finishing a cup of tea, suddenly there was the sound of drums outside the yamen.

Lu Xuan frowned, and there was a smile in his eyes.

Yesterday, Han Xian reported to the officer, but he didn't dare to beat the drums.

Early this morning, someone beat the grievance drum outside the yamen.

It shows that he opened the trial yesterday and achieved very good results.

Lu Xuan knew it in his heart.

People feel that the county magistrate can uphold justice for them, so they will entrust the difficult things they encounter to the county government. This is a kind of trust.

Generally speaking, the drum of grievances can only be played when there are major cases.

But here in Lu Xuan, there is no such rule.

The county government of Qingxian City had just been established, so he wished that there would be more things to do.

"Report-"

The yamen servant on duty today rushed in:

"My lord, someone outside the yamen has reported the crime!"

"What's the matter? Is there a lawsuit?"

Lu Xuan said.

"Uh... no."

The yamen servant on duty hastily repeated:
"It's not an official report, it's a police report."

Hearing this, Lu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

The so-called reporting to the official means that after a dispute arises, it is reported to the yamen, and the county magistrate is invited to resolve and judge.

And the meaning of reporting... is that something happened.

"What case did you report?"

Lu Xuan asked.

"Li Xian, a farmer in the east of the city, was working in the field this morning. He passed a river ditch and found a dead body lying in the ditch, so he hurriedly reported it to the yamen."

The yamen servant on duty replied.

"How about this."

Lu Xuan thought for a while:
"You ask the reporter to wait outside the Yamen, and this officer will take them over to see the scene of the crime."

Lu Xuan paused for a moment:

"Li Ming."

"Subordinates are here."

Li Ming came out.

Lu Xuan said:
"You are clever, I ordered you to stay in the county office today.

If someone comes to report to the official, first appease his emotions, then sort out the case and appeal records, and report to me when I come back. "

"Yes, my lord."

Li Ming took the order.

"Lu Ping."

Lu Xuan turned to Lu Zhubo.

"Subordinates...here!"

Lu Ping stepped forward.

He has learned to be smart now, and tries to use short sentences to reduce the occurrence of stuttering.

"You have several positions. You are the master and the only official of our county government. Can you identify the time of death of the corpse?"

Lu Xuan asked.

"Return, my lord... the subordinates will meet, look."

Lu Ping replied.

"Okay, you pick ten yamen servants and follow me to the east of the city."

"Yes!"

After a cup of tea time.

A carriage stopped at the gate of the county government office.

All the yamen servants rode horses, and the county magistrate boarded the carriage with Mr. Cheng.

The driver of the carriage is Lu Ping, and the county government has just resumed operation, and the staff is tight.

As the owner and co-worker, in an emergency, he also takes on the job of a coachman.

As we all know, coachman is a very important job, and Lu Ping is not at ease to ask others to drive for the county magistrate.

Li Xian, a farmer who came to report the case, rode on the same horse as the yamen servant and led the way.

When they arrived at the scene of the crime, many people had already gathered around the ditch.

"The county government handles the case, idlers get out of the way!"

The yamen servants began to clean up the scene.

However, there were still a few people in the field who did not move, turning a deaf ear to the words of the servants.

They were wearing blue-black clothes with snake-shaped patterns embroidered with silver thread on their chests.

This is a member of the Qingxian Society.

Lu Xuan got out of the car, exchanged a glance with Cheng Lingzhu, and they walked towards the ditch together.

The reporter said that a corpse was "lying down", but it was not accurate.

The deceased was lying face down in the ditch.

"Master Wu."

A member of the Green Immortal Society stepped forward and bowed to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan returned the gift and said:

"Several heroes came here, why?"

"Since there is a homicide case, my Qingxian Society is naturally qualified to take care of it."

The leader replied.

"Oh? How many of you will also try cases?"

Lu Xuan laughed when he heard this.

"What's so difficult about this?"

One person disdains:
"Just find out the identity of the deceased, and then check around him. In my opinion, this must be a vendetta."

"Why is it a vendetta?"

Lu Xuan asked.

"How could a good man die? Someone must have killed him."

The man said of course:
"He is dressed so poorly, and he looks like he has no money. Surely no one will rob him for money. What else can it be if it's not a vendetta?"

"Everyone may wish to take a closer look."

At this moment, Cheng Lingzhu who was standing beside Lu Xuan said:
"The ground near the river is wet and the soil is soft, which can imprint the traces of people walking.

There is only one footprint here, extending from the east end, stopped here, and then stopped abruptly.

On the embankment of the river ditch, there were traces of something rolling down. It is very likely that this person slipped and rolled down the riverside... Maybe it was an accident. "

"Master's inference is probably untenable, right?"

On one side of the Tsing Yi Club, the leader frowned and said:

"This small river can barely cover the feet of human beings. If a living person falls down, it would be enough to turn over a little bit. How could he be drowned in such shallow water?"

"But not necessarily."

Lu Xuan on the side smiled and said:

"What if the deceased drank a lot of wine before rolling down the ditch?"
