Chapter 2338

"Mr. Zhou, what you expected is not bad. This is indeed a case of injustice."

Shen Ning read it very quickly, which can be regarded as a glance. The file is only a few pages, describing the process of the case, the reasons and the final judgment.

Zhou Zhongkang was startled and said in surprise, "have you finished reading it?"

He was surprised not only at the speed with which she looked at the file, but at the judgment she made immediately after reading it.

You know, after reading it several times, he realized that it was most likely an unjust case, but he was not quite sure.

"Well, that's it."

Shen Ning nods.

This case is not complicated. It's just that it happened seven years ago, and it happened to the last magistrate.

The last magistrate, whose surname was Yu and whose name was Dechang, had also won a reputation of being honest and upright during his term of office, and then he received an edict to transfer him to another place as magistrate, which was a step up to heaven.

On the night when he left the county, he held a banquet at home to entertain the guests. During the banquet, people practiced for him, and the banquet ended happily.

However, no one thought that Yu Dechang died of a violent illness that night.

When he came to the autopsy, he found that there were bleeding marks on the mouth and nose of the corpse. It was determined that Yu Dechang did not die of a sudden illness, but died of poisoning.

It's like the calm surface of the water.

The whole county is boiling over the case.

The head of a county was poisoned. Before he left office, there must be a big conspiracy.

The court attached great importance to this matter, and specially sent inspectors to investigate the case. It is necessary to find the real murderer of Yu Dechang.

The inspector sent to investigate everyone who attended the banquet that night, took a confession, and then interrogated all the servants in Yu Dechang's house, and soon found out.

The inspector found that a concubine of Yu Dechang had an affair with a servant of his family. This was the motive of the two men to murder Yu Dechang, so they arrested them and tortured them.

As a result of the interrogation, the two quickly admitted that there was a love affair between them, but both refused to admit that they had poisoned Yu Dechang. Later, they could not stand the punishment and finally confessed that they were the murderers of Yu Dechang.

The concubine's confession said that she pretended to have mice in her family. She went to the drugstore to buy half a catty of arsenic. After returning to the house, she gave it to the servant. The servant put arsenic into the roast mutton used for dinner that night. Later, Yu Dechang was poisoned and died.

In the case file, there was also a confession from the owner of the drugstore, stating that the concubine had indeed bought half a kilogram of arsenic, and there were both human evidence and material evidence. Soon, the government issued a final judgment, which sentenced Yu Dechang's concubine and his servant to be beheaded after autumn.

The truth of the case finally came to light.

The inspector who found out the case reported the case to the court and won the praise and reward of the court.

Soon, the new magistrate also came to office. After seeing the case, he hid his book and sighed.

Originally, the matter was over. If it had not been for a later event recorded at the end of the file, Zhou Zhongkang would not have paid more attention to this case.

Shortly after the sentence came down, the concubine, who was in the cell waiting to be beheaded, suddenly hanged herself in the prison. Before she died, she bit her finger and left two large blood stained characters on the stone wall of the cell: injustice.
