Chapter 802 The Mystery of Meicheng
The bet between the young man and everyone was just an interlude. Except for the young man who was still proud, the eyes of the others had already been focused on this new work called Da Song Ti Xing Guan.
Song Ci is known as the originator of forensic medicine in the world. His reputation is as good as that of Di Renjie, so book friends are naturally familiar with him.
It is foreseeable that some forensic detection methods should appear in this book about the criminal justice of the Song Dynasty, and book friends are very much looking forward to this.
This first case is called "Meicheng Mystery".
The work explains at the beginning that Song Ci, a student of the Southern Song Dynasty, was obsessed with solving cases and solving doubts since he was a child, under the influence of his father, Song Gong, a famous prison judge.
Later, in his sleep, Song Ci successfully solved the mystery of a skeleton. When he woke up, he made a bold statement that he would accomplish great things in prison in this life.
Like the young Bao Qingtian, "The Punisher of the Song Dynasty" also starts with a small case to warm up. Although this case is carried out in Song Ci's dream, it is not a case after all.
Song Ci's heroic words that "he will achieve great things in prison in this life" also made many book fans excited.
However, the next plot is somewhat unexpected.
One day, Song Ci, who was named on the Beijing Ranking List, and his friend Meng Liangchen, who was studying in the same department, invited him to a wine shop to toast and have a drink.
During the dinner, Meng Liangchen told Song Ci that he had requested to be appointed magistrate of Meicheng County.
Song Ci was well aware that Meicheng County was located in a remote area and its personnel were difficult and dangerous. The former county magistrate Zhumeiting died in mysterious circumstances only half a year after taking office. Song Ci was very worried about the death of his friend.
In addition, Zhuyinggu, the daughter of Zhumeiting, the late magistrate of Meicheng County, suspected that her father's death was strange, so she came to the capital to find her distant brother who had been a head catcher in the yamen and was known as the "King of Head catchers" to discuss the matter. Please ask Song Gong, a famous prison official at that time, to take action to find out the truth about his father's death.
Next, on the day Song Ci got married, her father, who was serving as an official in Jiazhou, failed to return.
Just as the newlyweds were paying their respects three times, a carriage arrived in the rain, carrying back the body of his father Song Gong.
This plot made many book fans say "Oh no!"
"Li Fan is so unkind! Can't you arrange such a plot after the marriage?"
"It's not good to arrange it after the marriage. That was Song Ci's father, and he was also a famous prison official. He died suddenly, which makes people sad."
"That's right. Why was it necessary to arrange the death of Song Gong? Did Li Fan have any intention?"
"There must be a purpose. Could it be that Song Gong was murdered? Song Ci made his debut by finding out the murderer of his father?"
"I think what you said above is wrong. If Song Ci wants to make his debut, he can arrange another case. Why should Song Gong, the old official, die?"
"That's true. Then why did Mr. Li Fan arrange such a plot? It's sad and confusing at the same time."
"..."
The sudden and unexpected death of his father is not unacceptable to many book fans.
However, if there is no special purpose for such a plot that only adds to the sadness, it would be somewhat questionable if the author arranged it this way.
Of course, book fans believe that Li Fan must have his own special intention, but they just can't think of it.
With doubts in their hearts, book fans continued to read.
Song Ci, who was grieving, examined his father's body and found that his father had died of poisoning.
Could it be murder? Just when Song Ci was angry, the equally grieving old housekeeper gave Song Gong's suicide note to Song Ci.
The suicide note contains the reasons for Song Gong's death.
Song Gong committed suicide by taking poison.
Song Gong had never been wrongly convicted in his forty years in prison. However, in the latest case, Song Gong was wrongly convicted of murder. This was also the only wrongful conviction in Song Gong's life.
This was the only case of wrongful conviction that led the old pusher to commit suicide by taking poison to apologize.
Moreover, in the suicide note of the old official, Song Ci was left with a commandment, "not to set foot in prison for the rest of his life."
This made Song Ci, who had determined since childhood to inherit his father's legacy and boldly said that "he will achieve a great career in prison in this life",
From then on, he became disheartened and drank all day long to drown his sorrows.
But then, the bad news came that Song Ci's friend, Meng Liangchen, the new magistrate of Meicheng County, died in a fire at the post station on his way to his post.
The sudden death of his friend Meng Liangchen made Song Ci even more anxious.
I want to go to the place where the incident occurred and investigate the reason why my friend was killed. But because of his father's decree "not to enter prison for life," he did not dare to go.
When book fans saw this, they all let out a long sigh in their hearts.
I feel deeply sorry for the old pusher’s suicide, and at the same time, I also understand very well the legacy that the old pusher left for his son.
"The old official committed suicide to apologize for a wrongly convicted murder case. It is really regrettable and a loss to the entire Song Dynasty."
"The old official told his son that he would not be allowed to go to prison for life. He was probably worried that his son would follow in his footsteps."
"Of course that's the reason. As a father, he definitely doesn't want his son to follow in his footsteps. We can completely understand this. However, the old pusher's move is not righteous enough. "
"Indeed, he made Song Ci banned from prison for life. Then there would be many more unjust cases and wrongful convictions in this world, and many innocent people would die unjustly. The old promoter was indeed selfish. Of course, from his father's point of view , we completely understand.”
"However, the old prosecutor should know that Song Ci has the ambition to achieve great achievements in prison in this life. Doesn't he make such a suicide attempt to put Song Ci in a dilemma? It is really pitiful to see how restless Song Ci is now."
"Hey, it's just because the old officer knew that Song Ci had such ambitions that he left such a will. It's better to be restless for a while than to lose his life in vain."
"Okay, that's true."
"..."
The book fans have the same view this time. While they believe that the old recommendation official has selfish motives, they also understand the old recommendation official's selfishness very well.
No one said that what the old pusher did was wrong, but it was just a bit painful for Song Ci.
Of course, book fans also know that Song Ci will definitely get involved in prison.
Otherwise, this book would not exist.
Therefore, book fans are curious about how Song Ci put down the burden in his heart and started to set foot in prison. Full of expectations.
Of course, we are also full of expectations for the truth that the two magistrates of Meicheng County died in accidents.
However, to know this, you have to wait until the next issue of Legend Magazine. The serialization of the Song Dynasty Punisher has ended in this issue.
In this issue of "The Punisher of the Song Dynasty", except for the opening part, a small case revealed by Song Ci in a dream, it does not involve real reasoning and solving the case, but the book fans also enjoyed it very much and were very interested in it. The following story is even more exciting.
