Chapter 798: injustice
The storyteller held off for a while, and seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he continued to speak.
The sufferer was Yang Xu, who was murdered and dismembered. The murderer deliberately cut off the head and scratched his face so that the identity of the deceased could not be identified.
Being killed and being mutilated again is simply horrible.
Moreover, this case did not happen recently, but at the beginning of the year.
Yang Xu went to Songhe Academy to study and didn't come home for a while. His parents thought that his son was studying hard in the cold window. Unexpectedly, a month passed and Yang Xu still didn't go home when he was resting.
Now, the Yang family's parents were in a hurry. They went to the academy to inquire and found out that Yang Xu had been missing for more than ten days.
Coincidentally, Father Yang was doing a small business in Kyoto, and met the janitor of Jing Zhaoyi's house, and thus learned that a villager picked up a head in the suburbs of Kyoto recently.
I don't know if it's because father and son are connected, Father Yang immediately had a bad feeling, he specially sent money to the people in the yamen, saying that there was a missing person in the family, and he wanted to claim the head.
In spring, Kyoto is not very hot yet. It rains every day and the temperature is not high, so the head has not rotted yet.
At the same time, the official messenger received reports from the villagers one after another, and found Qugan and thigh nearby.
At the foot of the emperor in Kyoto, it's nothing more than a murder, but the body was chopped up, is that okay?
Father Yang went to identify the corpse, even though the head and face were completely changed, but he found a mole on the neck, that was his son, the son who had high hopes, there was nothing wrong!
Father Yang was distraught, and his mood can be imagined, and he passed out immediately in the Yamen.
Jing Zhaoyi from the capital had just taken office not long ago, so he was still an acquaintance of Li Haitang, Zhang Ruyi's father, Zhang Zheng, Master Zhang.
The deceased was a scholar of Songhe Academy, and his death was tragic. For a while, it caused a very bad influence.
But I don't know why, the meaning given above is that the big things are turned into small ones, the small things are turned into small things, and finally the matter is calmed down.
What else does Father Yang not understand? Presumably the murderer was someone he could not afford to offend.
The Yang family has only one son, Yang Xu. In order for the son to find a good school and stay away from his homeland, the couple went to the capital to seek a living. Isn't this a good future?
Now not only the future is gone, but also the son is gone, so what hope is there for the couple to live?
Father Yang thought, his son's death was wronged and he couldn't just let it go. Even if they risked their lives, the husband and wife must seek justice!
Hearing this, Li Haitang sighed and prayed in his heart, I hope this Yang Xu is not Xiangli's fiancée, otherwise, it will be difficult to end.
"My lady, I'm afraid it is."
Xiao Lingchuan doesn't care about Taoists' merits, and it's not his own business, so he has never cared about it.
Seeing that his wife was still holding on to hope, he had to confess this cruel fact.
There is almost no discrepancy between the plot and the storyteller, the only difference is that he got the news that Yang Xu's father confirmed that Yang Xu was killed by identifying his son's thigh.
Yang Xu was mischievous when he was a child, he went to Cui Xiangli's house to tease the dog, and was bitten by Cui's big yellow dog, the scar was crescent-shaped on his calf.
"The murderer is not only bold, but also cruel."
Li Haitang took a deep breath. The reason why the other party was dismembered was not because he had a deep hatred with Yang Xu, but because he didn't want people to find out that he was dead, and wanted to hide the past.
After all, there are hundreds of students in Songhe Academy alone. Who would pay attention to a small student who only has the reputation of a scholar?
Li Haitang heard the story told by the scholar and continued to speculate on the cause of Yang Xu's death.
"Here, I have to say something, Master Zhang Zheng, that is really a good official who loves the people like a son!"
Under such great pressure, Zhang Zheng actually accepted the case, and in plain clothes, he visited Songhe Academy in person and asked about the deceased Yang Xu's former classmates and friends.
Although Songhe Academy is all students, there is a clear distinction between those with background and those without background. Yang Xu's friends have relatively ordinary families.
Yang Xu's body was dismembered, and he died so horribly, it was obvious that he had offended someone, and everyone was not telling the truth in order to protect themselves.
However, through investigation, Jing Zhaoyi and Zhang Zheng also learned that Yang Xu had a simple interpersonal relationship, studied **** weekdays, and had no conflicts with anyone.
Before, he ate and lived at home, with only a few acquaintances, including Chen Chun and Du Ruohe who lived under the same roof.
Zhang Zheng quickly found the two and asked some questions, which were actually commonplace.
The strange thing is that Chen Chun and Du Ruohe seemed to have discussed it, and it was as if they had negotiated. He called them away separately and got the same answer.
In this way, it is a bit interesting.
Zhang Zheng is an old fox. He knew that the Du family was protecting the calf, so he was going to find a breakthrough with Chen Chun.
"You killed Yang Xu, didn't you?"
On weekdays, Yang Xu would go home except for the academy, and would not have any contact with outsiders at all, so the scope of the murderer was locked in Songhe Academy.
It was precisely because of this that he encountered considerable resistance.
"Master Zhang, you are Jing Zhaoyi, how can you say such groundless words?"
Chen Chun asked three questions, denied everything he said, and said that everything should be based on evidence. If Zhang Zheng persisted, he would go to Dali Temple to sue, saying that he was framed!
Zhang Zheng returned to the yamen, knowing it well. Chen Chun's family only has a little money, and his father is far away from the capital, so how could he have the guts to challenge him? Definitely got the order beforehand.
Judging by his tough words, there may be something hidden in it.
So Zhang Zheng turned his attention to another person in the room, Du Ruohe, after exclusion and locking.
According to Yang Xu's classmates, since Yang Xu's death, Chen Chun and Du Ruohe have gotten closer. The two of them are almost inseparable. When they go to the academy cafeteria, they always stay together.
This case is confusing.
Yang Xu was killed, and the case was not solved, so Yang's father and Yang's mother rolled up their bedrolls and made troubles at the gate of Jingzhaoyi Yamen every day.
In a few days, all the people in the capital knew about it. After dinner, people talked about it and speculated that the murderer was a big move. That's why Jing Zhaoyi was helpless.
The emperor broke the law, and the common people were guilty of the same crime. The whole body was not left behind for murder, and the eighteen generations of ancestors would be cursed. Such a big injustice should be passed lightly?
As a result, the ordinary people who couldn't stand it, also started a fight, and ordinary students like Yang Xu demanded to return him the truth.
The matter fermented and intensified, and when Zhang Zheng didn't know how to end it, one day, a little beggar came to the yamen and gave him a booklet. Seeing this, Zhang Zheng gave the little beggar a piece of silver, and asked, "Who sent the brochure, and did you leave anything?"
