Chapter 569

——Hanged?!

Ji Dong's eyes changed.

More than a dozen people who were watching outside the hall were also very surprised - such a great excitement must have crushed their heads if they wanted to grab a good position in the past, but now it has only attracted more than a dozen people, which shows the uneasiness of the people in Beijing.

"... is it true that the Xia family did it?"

"It's not a matter of human life!"

"This family really should go to hell!"

"It is because there are such officials in Daqing that we are rotten at the root!"

Now the Xia family is about to fall, and it is worth unrest around. The people talk and scold the dignitaries, and there are no more scruples in the past.

In other words, scolding powerful people has also become an outlet to vent their emotions - although the truth is inconclusive, scold first.

Ji Dong glanced at the angry and resentful people and sighed at the bottom of his heart. This was the most violent session he had ever taken.

It's not the same atmosphere as the usual people around watching the excitement, scolding and scolding - and it's easy to find that these people don't even eat melon seeds! This obviously has lost the original intention of watching the excitement!

As we all know, the excitement without eating melon seeds seems to have no soul.

Although the details are small, they can also be seen.

The Xia family should scold, but now the people are so angry that they even look excited and ferocious, but it's not a good thing... It's because of this kind of anger that evil things happen frequently in the city.

The breeding of hostility comes from the long backlog of anger and fear.

Therefore, it is no wonder that the people, but the fault of those in power.

The curse continued. Ji Dong clapped a startling sound and motioned Mrs. Lu to speak carefully.

"... after the little girl's accident, I suspected that there was something strange in it. Therefore, I have been secretly investigating the matter. Fortunately, the emperor did not live up to his pains, or God could not bear to make my poor child die in obscurity. I finally found the stable woman who delivered the baby for Yao Er some time ago!"

"The man was found in the countryside... After receiving the silver, the steady woman felt guilty and hid back to her hometown in Jingxian county early... Under the personal questioning of my master, out of guilt, she told the truth!"

"It turned out that the little girl gave birth smoothly that night. However, when she gave birth to her child at a time of weakness, Xue Shi, her cruel mother-in-law and wife of the Xia family, ordered two women to hang her in the delivery room!"

The woman was extremely sad: "my poor Yao'er... I don't know how scared I should be before I die! I don't think I should have agreed to this marriage!"

She doesn't regret a day now!

Ji Dong listened to this and couldn't help thinking and distinguishing.

The LV family had already suspected that there was another secret about their daughter's death. If they wanted to seek justice for their daughter, why didn't they say it until today? How could the midwife have happened to find it at this time?

But these two questions are just subconscious thoughts of the people handling the case. If you think about them, you will understand.

People live in the world, no one is alone, how can there be so many so-called boldness.

Previously, the Xia family was powerful, and their children failed to shake Xia Shoufu's position in the court. Therefore, the LV family was deterred, which is not incomprehensible.

Even if the LV family had the idea of attaching themselves to the Xia family by marriage, whose daughter had been brought up through hard work could not be willing to be sent to be killed at will.

The lonely and brave are admirable, but the cowards should not be reprimanded - the real ones to be despised should not be the ones who are afraid of power and dare not open their mouth to beg for justice, but the evildoers.

The sufferer wants justice, no matter sooner or later.

As long as it is true, he has the responsibility to thoroughly investigate it. As for the LV family's balance of advantages and disadvantages, and even whether they secretly reached any consensus with the people hostile to the Xia family, these are not under his control.

In his position, he only needs to handle the case according to the rules.

Therefore, Ji Dong didn't say anything else, but asked the woman who was crying in the hall: "since the body was hanged, there must be evidence on the neck bone of the body. Would you like to open the coffin for autopsy to prove the authenticity of the midwife's words?"

"Yes! Of course! As long as we can find out the cause of the little girl's death!" the woman's eyes suddenly became firm and kowtowed her head: "please do justice for the little girl!"

Ji Dong nodded and immediately ordered him to go down.

Accompanied by the LV family, the servants in the Xia family's ancestral grave did not dare to really stop.

A shovel of loess was thrown up, and the deeply buried coffin gradually showed its original outline.

After the coffin was opened, zhuozuo inserted the three yellow incense into the incense burner, and then came forward to examine it.

When it was getting late, she and her party turned back to the Yamen and brought back the positive news that LV, the second young grandmother of the Xia family, had indeed died by hanging.

Ji Dong slightly gathered up the ten fingers under the official robe.

Hang

Such an easy way to leave clues, should he say that the murderer is too stupid and careless?

No——

This is not stupid.

This is arrogance!

Arrogant enough to admit that there was no need to cover up and conclude that no one dared to ask about it.

It is only the LV family that can avenge the LV family. Before this, can the LV family dare to speak more than half a word?

Even after their daughter died, they were afraid that they had never had a chance to see the death of the body with their own eyes.

In the hall, Mrs. Lu's family fainted with grief when she heard the result brought back by Wuzuo.

Ji Dong ordered people to help him to the compartment to have a rest, and asked people to invite a doctor.

Next, it's time to summon Xia's wife Xue——

Looking at the back of the officer who was ordered to leave, Ji Dong sighed at the bottom of his heart.

It's OK for the Xia family to do evil one by one.

If you put it in the year of peace, I'm afraid that this family alone can contract his performance in serious cases for a whole year. I'm afraid this family is not a ghost crawling out of hell, is it still alive?

……

The dark night is pressing the dusk that will not dissipate, and there is a color of chaos between heaven and earth.

The lamp has just been held in the outer Library of Xia mansion.

Xia Tingzhen sat behind the desk, her face taut, and slowly closed her eyes.

Since the LV family went to the yamen, the news has reached his ears.

But he can't make any obstruction, let alone stop the officials from opening the coffin for autopsy. If he dares to stop, it's not just as simple as not telling himself——

In recent years, he was unstoppable all the way in the court, but it was not that no one dared to stop, but those who stood in front of him were removed by him one by one.

Therefore, even in addition to the Duke of Zhenguo and Ji Xiu, there are many people waiting for him to die. These people are like water ghosts. They dare not rise when the sun is in full bloom. Once he has the appearance of decline, they will all stretch out their hands to drag him into the water!

The LV family's affairs are not so simple.

There are countless pairs of eyes staring at him, waiting for him to do something, and then use it as fire oil to burn the fire bigger.

He can't fall into a trap——

But he didn't expect that Xue was so stupid that he was so crazy that he hanged people at the beginning!

"Master, I'm afraid the officials of Beijing yamen will arrive soon..." the housekeeper who came to deliver the message whispered.

Xia Tingzhen opened her eyes.

At this time, a servant came in quickly: "Sir, I'm coming with my wife..."
