The Supreme Prosecutor of the Tang Dynasty

Zhangye County Sheriff, why did you commit suicide?

Chen Qiu's question made Lu Shu stunned for a moment, and then he stood there and started thinking.

Looking at Lu Shu who was thinking, Chen Qiu couldn't help but shake his head. This subordinate is still too young and simple questions need to be thought about later. This really shouldn't be the case.

After a while, Lu Shu asked Chen Qiu tentatively:"Sir, you mean to say that those rumors in Zhangye made Zhang Zidong unable to bear the psychological pressure, so he chose to commit suicide?" Does that still need to be said

?

Otherwise, Zhang Zidong still has a reason to commit suicide?

From the information about Zhang Zidong sent by Lu Shu, we can know that Zhang Zidong is an official who does not seek merit but seeks no faults. He is afraid of being caught. Of course, this kind of caution is the self-protection of many Tang Dynasty officials. Ce, Zhang Zidong is just one of them.

Zhang Zidong is old and cannot bear the psychological"one-five-three". Therefore, after more and more bad remarks appeared, Zhang Zidong's psychological defense collapsed, so he chose to commit suicide.

"Just some small remarks, you wouldn't choose to commit suicide so easily, right? Lu

Shu was still a little confused, but after thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly realized:"Sir, Zhang Zidong committed suicide... couldn't it be because of us?""

"Probably."

Chen Qiu smiled bitterly and said,"The reputation of our inspection department is really too great. Coupled with the auspiciousness of the earth, Zhang Zidong has already had self-doubt in his heart, so... Zhang Zidong committed suicide."

The inspection department never comes back empty-handed. Zhang Zidong doesn't know whether the so-called auspiciousness born from the earth is good or bad. While feeling frightened in his heart, he also wants to leave a way out for his family. If

I die, you Chen Qiu can't What will happen to my family?

Zhang Zidong couldn't distinguish the truth from the falsehood of the earth's auspiciousness. Coupled with the past record of Chen Qiu and the inspection department, Zhang Zidong felt desperate, so he chose to die to leave a legacy for his family. The next way out.

Magji, when did the reputation of the inspectors become such a deterrent to officials?

Just like the Discipline Inspection Commission in later generations. When it comes to the Discipline Inspection Commission inviting tea, many officials choose to jump off the building to face it.

But the key is... Zhang Zidong There is nothing wrong with this person. At most, he is Liancheng who likes to study the universe.

Lu Shu was helpless. Who should be blamed for Zhang Zidong's suicide now?

"Sir, the matter of earth producing auspiciousness is definitely not as simple as we see! Lu

Shu thought for a while and said to Chen Qiu:"We and Wei Zheng came to Zhangye to verify the auspiciousness of the earth. The speed was fast enough, but Zhang Zidong was able to hear the news before us, which shows that someone was there before us." , passed the news to Zhang Zidong!"

Chen Qiu nodded. Lu Shu has learned to use his brain now. At least he can take charge of solving crimes on his own.

"Someone did tell Zhang Zidong the news, but those people were very cunning. Instead of talking to Zhang Zidong, they told Zhang Zidong by spreading rumors. This was the last straw that broke Zhang Zidong's back."

Chen Qiu guessed and explained the cause and effect. Then he laughed.

The opponent this time seemed very interesting.

"Then let’s start with the rumors.

Lu Shu said the stupidest way,"Although it's like finding a needle in a haystack, I will definitely fish it out!""

……

Let’s not talk about Lu Shu and Chen Qiu, let’s talk about Wei Zheng.

After Chen Qiu left, Wei Zheng found the servants of Zhang Zidong's mansion and began to investigate Zhang Zidong's suicide. From the words of Zhang Zidong's servants and his own observations, Wei Zheng realized that Zhang Zidong was very likely to commit suicide.

But why did Zhang Zidong commit suicide?

Wei Zheng couldn't figure it out, so he could only ask the people who followed him from Chang'an to continue questioning the servants of the Zhang family.

In fact, if Wei Zheng goes to find Chen Qiu at this time, he can know more quickly why Zhang Zidong committed suicide. Wei Zheng's heart is as clear as a mirror, and he knows that going to Chen Qiu is the easiest thing, but he just can't lose face.

Asking Chen Qiu why, doesn't it mean that he wants to be inferior to others? Wei Zheng cannot do such a thing.

Wei Zheng was very depressed. Originally he only came to investigate what was going on with Earth's auspiciousness, but now it was good that the governor of a county had given up before he came, and he didn't even ask about Earth's auspiciousness.

Uh...it seems that I didn't ask about the auspiciousness of the earth.

He only focused on investigating Zhang Zidong's suicide and forgot about this important matter.

Maggi!

Wei Zheng couldn't help but cursed in his heart. In his opinion, Chen Qiu was just a bad guy, and it was never good to be with him!

Looking at the"Redress of Wrongs" in his hand, Wei Zheng dismissed it.........

To clear up the grievances, do you think you are an expert after solving a few cases?

I really don’t know how high the sky and the earth are!

After handing over the investigation of Zhang Zidong's death and the question of whether the matter of Earth's auspiciousness to Zhang Zidong was related to Zhang Zidong, Wei Zheng returned to the post house.

After all, I am getting old. Riding a horse to reach Zhangye is indeed exhausting.

……

"This"Resolution of Wrongs" is truly an incredible book!"

Late at night, in Wei Zheng's room in the post house, he was reading"The Record of Clearing Wrongs" non-stop, and he felt like he couldn't let go of the book. Various cases were classified into categories, and there were more scientific methods and basis for solving the case. Wei Zheng saw Afterwards, he was so relished that he didn’t even bother to eat. He kept reading and finally finished the book in the dead of night. After closing the book, Wei Zheng kept mumbling two words: inference of guilt and inference of innocence.

What is guilt? ?

What is innocence?

《The introduction in"The Record of Clearing Wrongs" is very detailed. After Wei Zheng read it, when he recalled the contents of the book, he couldn't help but think of Zhang Zidong's suicide.

Zhang Zidong's suicide was basically a certainty and no more doubts were needed, but why he committed suicide was something Wei Zheng couldn't understand.

After reading"The Clearance of Innocence", Wei Zheng started to think about the two methods of solving crimes, namely the inference of guilt and the inference of innocence.

There is a clear explanation in the book that the inference of guilt and the inference of innocence are just two ideas to determine why the deceased committed suicide in 5.8, and then use them as a way to solve the case, but this idea is different from the clues.

Of course Wei Zheng would not rely on inference as evidence for granted, but thinking along this line of thinking, Wei Zheng could easily judge.

If Zhang Zidong is guilty, it is obvious that he committed suicide, either because he was worried that the matter would be exposed, or because he was silenced by others.

Wei Zheng passed this point directly. The servants in Zhang's mansion had already explained the matter clearly. Zhang Zidong committed suicide, and Zhang Zidong was not the first person to know that the earth brings auspiciousness. He only got it after returning to the Yamen. Know the truth of the matter.

But what if Zhang Zidong is innocent? Why did he commit suicide?

After thinking for a long time, Wei Zheng's eyes gradually brightened:"Inspection Department, Chen Qiu!"_
