Zhao Han was immediately confused.

He asked: "Where did this woman's previous confession come from?"

Magistrate Liu hurriedly said: "The woman confessed on her own, and the officials never punished her."

Zhao Han nodded: "Master Liu is indeed a benevolent and righteous official."

Magistrate Liu said hurriedly: "Thank you, Shangguan, for the compliment."

He is in his fifties, has a good family background, and has reached the end of his career as a seventh-grade county magistrate.

The other party is less than 20 years old, he is in the sixth rank, and he is also an official in the Ministry of Punishment.

And with the background of the Jia family, shouldn't he try to curry favor?

Seeing this scene, the young woman in the hall seemed to have a little more light in her eyes. She raised her head slightly and glanced at Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu is so handsome, it makes the young woman's heart skip a beat.

Is there such a handsome boy in the world?

There should be hope for my own grievance.

That's how people are, when they see someone handsome, they think he should be a good person.

If he looks ugly, he is a bad guy.

Zhao Han did not praise Magistrate Liu casually.

She originally thought that this woman's confession must have been obtained under severe torture and with a stick.

Looking at it now, it is not the case.

If a woman confesses on her own initiative, that would be a big problem.

This is a capital crime, why should a woman confess on her own initiative?

There must be something unspeakable.

Zhao Han immediately thought that the woman had a 9-year-old son.

She then asked: "Ms. Zhang Jia, why did you murder your own husband? Tell me again."

"My husband beat me a lot on weekdays, so he collaborated with others to kill him. It had nothing to do with anyone else," Zhang Jia said with her head lowered.

"Then let me ask you, where is your son now?"

"My son is being adopted by his uncle's family." Zhang Jiashi continued.

"Come here, bring her son quickly." Zhao Han wrote a ticket and asked the yamen servant to find him.

"Thank you, Sir." Zhang Jia's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Zhao Han understood it at a glance.

It would be weird if nothing happened in the middle.

Then Zhao Han asked again: "Tell me again, how your husband died, and what were you doing when your husband died?"

Zhang Jiashi lowered her head and said: "That day, a wandering monk came to my house. The monk wanted to seduce me. I said that I would only obey him if I killed my husband. So the monk killed my husband, and then he was frightened and chopped off his head.

Take it away."

"So that's it. How does the monk look like? Please tell me quickly." Zhao Han asked.

Zhang Jiashi lowered his head and reminisced: "The monk was two feet tall, with a leopard head and eyes, dark skin, a full beard, and a loud voice..."

Got it, you're talking about Mr. Zhang.

Zhao Han fully understood that Zhang Jia was a character in the storytelling, and randomly found one of them as a suspect to make a confession.

After the other party finished speaking, Zhao Han asked again: "How tall is that monk?"

"He is two feet tall, with a strong build and no beard."

"What do monks like to eat?"

"He, he likes to eat beef."

"How did you know?"

"When he left, he took away one of my cows that had been killed by a fall and the slaughtered beef."

"Does your brother-in-law, Zhang Si, also like to eat beef?"

"Yes, sir, how do you know?" Zhang Jia said in shock.

Zhao Han thought to herself that she had read the file and it was mentioned that the reporter was very tall, had no beard, and had a good mouthful of beef.

Zhang Jiashi subconsciously described the appearance and preferences of the real murderer!

It's scary to think about.

After the questioning was over, the yamen servant brought a 9-year-old child.

Then there was the scene of mother and son holding their heads in pain.

Zhao Han waved his hand and asked the yamen servant to take mother and son to the back hall to rest.

"Bring the person who reported the case, Zhang Si!" She handed out the cards again.

Then a tall, strong, clean-shaven young man was brought into the hall.

Zhao Han asked: "Who is here? Tell me your name."

"I am Zhang Si, and the deceased Zhang Er is my brother."

"My brother was killed by an adulteress. Please make the decision for me, sir."

"Okay, Zhang Si, please tell me the truth. How did you frame your sister-in-law, how did you kill your brother, and how did you try to seize the property of your brother's family!" Zhao Han shouted sternly.

"My lord, you are wronged. Where do you start talking about this?" Zhang Si knelt down and shouted that he was wronged.

"It seems that you don't want to admit it anymore. Come and grab a stick!" Zhao Han went straight to the countryside and did as the Romans did.

It's really convenient to get a confession these days.

The government officials knocked Zhang Si down and held him close to him with sticks.

No one around him was surprised.

There is no evidence. Once the stick is put on, won’t there be evidence?

Including Magistrate Liu, everyone thought this was normal.

Magistrate Liu didn't stick a stick on Zhang Jia's family because she was a prostitute and he wanted to be famous.

After all, I am getting older, I want to retire, I have enough money and so on, and I just want to leave a good name in the county annals.

At his age, to put it bluntly, he would die if there was a cold one day.

In this case, it is necessary to consider the posthumous name.

If the county magistrate had been changed, Zhang Jia might not have had the same luck as Jia Baoyu.

There is nothing you can do under three trees.

At least Zhang Si quickly admitted: "I usually eat too much and work too hard. I don't have any money to survive, so my brother no longer helps me. That day I saw a wandering monk going to my brother's house to beg for alms, and my brother gave him three liters of rice. I was heartbroken.

Out of jealousy, he went to his brother for a drink, got him drunk and chopped off his head. He also used the child to threaten his sister-in-law, saying, "

"Sister-in-law, you don't want to die like your son, right? You forced your sister-in-law to admit the crime of having an affair with a monk and killing your brother."

"Sure enough!" Magistrate Liu was furious.

"Master Jia is so wise!"

"As expected, he is a young Jinshi, very smart."

The many squires who were watching were all very surprised.

"Comparable to Bao Gong and Di Gong."

"Strange eucalyptus, eccentric Eucalyptus."

"This Zhang Si is really vicious, with a human face and a beast heart."

"Fortunately Mr. Jia came here and cracked this case."

Zhao Han thought to himself, what kind of nonsense is this?

There is no evidence or murder weapon.

Just relying on a little suspicion, he was sentenced to death, and the murderer simply confessed.

As for whether the other party was telling the truth, she could still tell.

If it is a lie, it is easy to verify it with reality and find the problem.
