Chapter 2599 Three Evidences
As a result, as soon as he ran to the city gate and wanted to leave the city, he was pushed to the ground by the detectives ambushing at the city gate and arrested on the spot.
At this time, all the delicate parts of Liu Gen's body were taken to the Yamen by the police.
Although some people want to embezzle it, this is important physical evidence. No one dares to play with this matter under the nose of the promotion official for the time being.
The promotion official was sitting in the lobby with a leisurely look, and was stunned: "Liu Gen, what else can you say now?"
"If you didn't kill the person, why did you run away?"
"This is obviously a guilty conscience and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to escape. Now that the person and the stolen goods have been obtained, what else can you deny?"
"Do you have any other evidence that you can produce to refute my case?"
At this moment, Liu Gen looked ashen.
He was even more desperate as he watched the detectives unpacking his baggage.
The money inside belonged to the foreign guest.
He could only kneel to the ground and say: "Young man, I have nothing to say."
"Young man is smart but your cleverness makes you misunderstand."
Recommended official smiled with satisfaction.
The government officials and police officers also praised him one after another.
"Young Master Tuiguan is still awesome."
But at this moment, Liu Gen cried: "Young man made a big mistake, but he really didn't kill anyone."
"Young man made a big mistake. I'm just worried that I'll meet a stupid old man next time and drag me to take the blame again."
"Fortunately, the official made a clear decision and let me go this time, so I just wanted to leave quickly."
The push official smiled: "You said you were afraid of meeting a faint official."
"Let's not talk about it for now. How do we explain the contents of this bag?"
Liu Gen was dumbfounded.
He asked someone to take the package to the lobby table, opened it, and immediately knew what it was.
“There are a hundred and ten taels of silver here, as well as road guides and official documents.”
“The reason why you didn’t destroy these documents is because you want to pretend to be someone else, right?”
"The appearance written in this document is not much different from yours."
"In fact, I have noticed that the appearance and height of the deceased are similar to yours."
"Both About seven feet tall, with a fair face and no beard.”
“Because you are lazy and don’t work, so your face is naturally whiter.”
“It also says one ear is big. , one ear is small, just in line with yours.”
"From my point of view, you originally just wanted to steal silver."
"But after seeing the document, you became malicious."
"After you wanted to kill someone, you wanted to borrow money." Get your clerical certificate, and then go to take office."
"It just so happens that the place this person is going to is still a very remote border state. It is difficult to find anyone who knows this person, and it is also difficult to communicate with him. "
When Wen Rensheng heard this, he was a little impressed by Liu Gen.
In ancient times, there were indeed people who pretended to be administrators and took office... and even managed a place well.
Later it was revealed because of the arrival of people from my hometown.
Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, there are people who pretend to be administrators and cheat, and they succeed frequently.
So Liu Gen’s move is actually very realistic.
Generally speaking, the process of recommending an official to judge a case should be over at this point.
Liu Gen's motivation and evolution from stealing to murder are very reasonable, and the evidence is there.
This package contains documents that have not been destroyed.
In Wen Rensheng's view, this official's patience was only one step lower than Song Ci's in terms of fame.
But as far as Wen Rensheng knew, this promoter was only slightly famous in the neighborhood and was not that powerful.
Because in this ancient time, there were more detectives.
Liu Gen was speechless.
He could only repeat: "I didn't kill him."
"You killed him."
"I didn't kill him."
"It's you..." the official stood up and said.
Wen Rensheng was stunned.
"Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Anyway, with all the witnesses and material evidence, I will still sentence you to a prison sentence."
Then the official asked the deputy to start writing the verdict. Of course There is also the previous trial process, in short, a pile of documents.
These are all done by deputy positions.
Otherwise, if he does it, he won’t have time to read the case files and solve the case.
"But, sir, it won't look good if the prisoner submits it without drawing a bond." The deputy master reminded him.
"It doesn't matter, this is my principle. I would rather the prisoner not draw a bond than use torture instruments to make the prisoner draw a bond." The officer said confidently.
Wen Rensheng nodded.
If you want to get ahead, you can be stable, but you have to have a backer.
Without a backer, being an official requires style.
For example, cool officials are the most typical type.
Relying on harshness to impress the superiors,
In this world, positions related to solving crimes are undoubtedly a very important promotion channel.
Because everyone has no worries about eating and drinking.
And there has been no war for many years, and they are not willing to start a war with each other.
So there is no military merit.
Why were wars frequent in ancient times?
For example, nomadic farming.
In the final analysis, it is because the nomads encountered natural disasters and had no food to eat, so they had to go south to invade and plunder.
In this case a fundamental contradiction arises.
This kind of contradiction cannot be solved by relying on culture and marriage.
Only by brutal reduction of population, reduction of birth rate, large number of nomadic monks encouraged to become monks, and regular trade...
This problem can be barely solved.
Why did the farming civilization have wars again?
In fact, in most cases, it is because the farmers do not have enough to eat, so they say they want to rebel.
In this ancient detective world, when everyone has enough to eat, it can be said that the probability of war automatically occurring is very low.
In addition, because of frequent cases, those who have the ability to start wars will offend many people.
Here, often before the war lasts only a few months, those who started the war are first poisoned and assassinated by their own subordinates through strange means or inexplicable mechanisms.
Wen Rensheng knew that in real history, emperors often fell into the water and died of the cold.
How about this small world in the void?
Once the instigator of the war is killed, it will be difficult for the war to continue.
This is the characteristic of feudal society.
The people at the bottom have no driving force for war.
Everyone wishes they could live without fighting for the rest of their lives.
This is different from later modern society.
In modern society, people at the bottom have the driving force for war. Armed with various ideas and driven by various interests, people at the bottom have also actively participated in war in large numbers.
Once the upper level activates the switch, if you want to stop it, you have to fight until everyone collectively hates the war.
Otherwise, whoever wants to stop will step down.
So this world has few wars but many cases.
But in any case, in Wen Rensheng's opinion, even if the number of cases increased another 100 times, it would not be as many as the number of people who died in a war.
In a war, 9/10 people can die.
No matter how cruel this case is, if hundreds of people can be killed in one breath, it is considered a major crime.
At this time, Liu Tuiguan had already submitted the case files compiled by the master.
Then the case file and related judgment documents were notified all the way and then served upwards.
In fact, in Wen Rensheng's view, this is obviously very unreasonable.
To put it simply, there is no separation of the three systems of arrest, prosecution, and judgment.
But now those who are arresting, prosecuting, and trying are all a team of people.
This shows how many injustices there are in this feudal society.
It all depends on the wisdom of the county magistrate.
The more wise you are, the fewer people will be wronged.
There are many who are ignorant and unjust.
Why, when the rebels enter the city, they must release the prisoners, which is considered a good deed.
It’s because most of them are good people.
In a word, for the government officials, which one is easier to catch: a vicious murderer, or a vagrant, the beggar around him, or even the innocent people? Apparently it's the latter.
If you really want to find someone to take the blame, your priority would be homeless people and beggars, followed by the people around you who are involved.
So when people have something to do, they will not go to the government officials.
I would rather suffer a loss than swallow my anger.
As for Liu Tuiguan's documents, they will be reported all the way to the Inspector, and then to the Minister of Punishment.
Finally, it will be decided by the emperor.
Generally speaking, if Liu Tuiguan has reached this level, he will not be criticized.
At this time.
Liu Gen shouted in the lobby:
“Listen up, everyone.”
“I was wronged, I was really wronged!”
>
"At first I just wanted to steal, and then I wanted to pretend to be someone else."
"But I really didn't kill anyone."
"When I finally went to call the guest out of the city, he was already dead. "
"Because he died, that's why I dared to steal."
"It's not that I killed someone just to steal."
At this most critical moment, Liu Gen finally came up with another possibility, which was also more logical.
This is the last act of cleverness from a usually cunning person.
If I were an honest person, I would be completely confused at this time.
However, the problem is that his evidence is indeed insufficient.
He could only rely on his words, but he couldn't produce evidence that he was not the murderer.
For Liu Tuiguan, the evidence is indeed sufficient.
First, the body was found in the backyard of Liu Gen’s house.
Secondly, Liu Gen hid the package of the body.
Thirdly, Liu Gen fled in fear of crime.
These are all evidence.
Generally speaking, these three hits basically only mean that the person was killed by you.
Of course, in Wen Rensheng's opinion, in a feudal society, it was very, very good to be able to achieve this step in official promotion.
At least he didn’t just find an innocent person to offend him like in the real world and the feudal era.
The body was buried in the backyard of Liu Gen's house, and he secretly took away other people's money and tried to pretend to be someone else.
Having taken all three, he is not innocent no matter what.
Even if he wasn't the one who killed him, he would have been sentenced to at least 10 or 20 years.
Of course, productivity was underdeveloped in ancient times, and there was no so-called fixed-term imprisonment.
You will not be imprisoned in prison for a long time unless you are an imperial prisoner.
Usually they were hurriedly judged, and then quickly exiled, distributed, or went to the city wall to do hard labor.
There is no such thing as sitting in a cell and eating for nothing.
Now he is sentenced to be a prisoner-killing prince, which is actually about the same.
If the emperor grants me a general amnesty, I may not die.
And when the emperor granted amnesty, there were quite a few.
Hey, it can be said that this Liu Tuiguan has been extremely benevolent and righteous.
Of course, Wen Rensheng knew that this was not the kindness of Liu Tuiguan.
Rather, he had to take into account the frequent occurrence of cases and the possibility of manslaughter.
If he is too foolish and reckless, he will not live long and will be retaliated to death.
Now that he has released the three pieces of evidence, at least Liu Gen's father and his relatives will think that Liu Gen is guilty and deserves what he deserves.
There will be no retaliation.
We won’t do anything like poisoning in the middle of the night or setting traps on the road...
As a result, documents related to Liu Tuiguan were soon sent all the way up.
It was sent to the province first. After the provincial inspector saw it, he scanned it.
“Well, the evidence is conclusive, but the prisoner doesn’t admit it?”
“Okay, old Liu He is always like this.”
“The evidence is clearly there, If the prisoner is not recruited and punished several times, is there anyone who will not admit it?”
One of his deputies next to him said: "Guan Liu has always been cautious and unwilling to use torture to extract confessions."
"I'm afraid he is also worried about extracting confessions through torture, and then forcing out unjust cases, and finally someone will come to take revenge."
< br>"Then kill him?"
"Hmph, how can you accomplish anything if you are so timid?"
The inspector shook his head.
Then he drew a circle on the document, as round as a compass.
The representative agrees.
If it is a triangle, I disagree.
If it is a red cross, it means you are very dissatisfied and will be directly rejected and re-examined.
The deputy secretly complained: [You are not timid, but you never personally order a murder, you always hand in the documents. 】
Then the document was sent to the capital and came into the hands of the Minister of Punishment.
After seeing this, the Minister of Punishment frowned.
“If the prisoner does not sign a bond, then he will be dismissed directly.”
“Tell them that the prisoner must be willing to sign a bond before he can be sentenced.”
“The prisoner must be convinced. , to be able to kill it.”
The document was then rejected.
This is mainly because the emperor has been having trouble sleeping recently and is always worried that someone is assassinating him.
So the Minister of Punishment will not have such bad luck.
It can be said that the emperor is the biggest potential murderer.
He has the motive to kill anyone and the ability to kill anyone.
While everyone is restricting the emperor, the emperor is also restricting everyone, which forms a beast-fighting chess.
Elephants can deal with everything below tigers, and even the smallest rat can deter an elephant.
The whole process went back and forth very quickly.
Because in this world, messages are delivered through some kind of domesticated eagle.
This kind of eagle is much smarter than the eagles in the real world.
It has a very high IQ.
At least equivalent to a child in his teens who can pick up express delivery.
Able to run back and forth on a fixed route.
And the eagle has no natural enemies in the air.
It can fly more than 100 kilometers per hour. If the wind direction is smooth and there is a monsoon, the speed can be even faster. For example, it is possible to double it.
It can be said that this speed is quite fast.
It can fly two thousand kilometers in one day.
Of course, this kind of eagle consumes a lot of money.
It can be said that the consumption is greater than the people at the inn.
Because it eats meat, military pay cannot be deducted.
But people are different.
With two steamed buns per hundred kilometers, I can still live on eating wild vegetables.
It’s hard to live until you are over 30.
Here comes the next round.
The eagle will not do this.
Fly a hundred kilometers and eat at least one kilogram of fresh offal.
The cost is far greater than that of others.
Of course, if you ride a horse, the horse consumption is still higher than that of the eagle.
However, ordinary messengers are not able to use horses to deliver letters alone, and can only deliver letters by the way.
Horses are only used in important letters.
The refutation of official documents is delivered by an eagle.
It can reach the farthest border within a week.
This is awesome.
