Chapter 800 Information

It is easy to find information on newborns in Qili Village, and there are only a few newborns in Yili Village. Unfortunately, the village chief reported the simplest numbers, but the official documents and copies of the notices posted on the bulletin board are not easy to find. Too much.

Not to mention looking, it took a lot of effort to find it.

Magistrate Tang didn't care how they looked for it, he wanted to look anyway.

After eating a little, he took the data he found out and compared it with his household registration.

Because the age at which children go to school is different, he needs to look through a lot of books, even if there is only one Qili Village information, he will have to spend a lot of effort.

Fortunately, he has done a lot of such boring things, and he can see ten lines at a glance, and his memory is not bad. He took a blank piece of paper and wrote down all the people who were born in the first year of Dazhen to the third year of Dazhen on their household registration, and then compared them. I just found out the newborn data from Li Changbao.

But it doesn’t mean that you can get what you want by comparison, because children are extremely prone to die young, some of them are recorded in the books, and some children have not had time to go to the books, only in the data given by the head of the village—— — Birth or death.

Tang county magistrate listed the data hidden in the document and excluded them one by one, and finally focused on the second year of Dazhen and the third year of Dazhen.

On the big paper he listed, Zhou Man’s name was recorded under the second year of Dazhen, indicating that she was born in the second year of Dazhen, and three people who were born in Qili Village in the same year were enrolled in the book, including Zhou Man and others. There is her nephew Zhou Lixue.

But that year, the number of people reported by Li Zheng was two. Strangely, in the third year of Dazhen, the number of newborns reported by Li Chang was three, but according to the books, there were only two children born in that year. So, Tang county magistrate compared the number of deaths and ages reported in the books and newspapers, and found that none of the babies born in the third year of Dazheng died.

Therefore, the newborn born in the third year of Dazhen was actually Zhou Man who was born in the second year of Dazhen.

But why?

Why did Zhou Man have to delay reporting for one year?

Especially when Zhou's family has a newborn.

The data was reported before it was sealed years ago, and Zhou Man's birthday was in November, so there was no time to report it.

Magistrate Tang closed the book with a serious face, folded the page and put it in his arms, walked to the bed and looked at the crescent moon in the sky.

He sighed faintly, and he knew that since the Longevity Lock was on Man Bao, he must be able to find something by checking her.

Magistrate Tang stood in front of the window, listening to the crowing of cocks from nowhere, only then did he realize that it was already four o'clock.

He rubbed his forehead, and then he felt sleepy, so he turned and went to the backyard to rest.

His long follower, Mingli, had already fallen asleep by the door with his coat in his arms. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he woke up at one o'clock. He quickly wiped his face and followed, "Master, do you finally want to sleep?"

"Well," Magistrate Tang said, "Sleep for a while, and remember to deliver a decapitated meal to Zhou Dali in the prison in the morning."

"Don't worry, sir, I won't forget."

This is the time when people are sleeping most soundly, but the scarlet man in the prison can't sleep well because of the injuries on his back and buttocks, and he is hungry, so he can't sleep no matter what, so he can only close his eyes, and occasionally To fight the rats that run over him.

While he was enduring, there was the sound of guards patrolling outside the door. He was used to it. They patrolled several times after nightfall. The first time he was not used to it, he thought it was to interrogate him, but later found out that it was just patrolling. Then he lay down obediently.

Scarlet closed his eyes and didn't move, but he heard footsteps stopped outside his door. He was wondering when he heard a small voice coming from outside the door, "This is a death row prisoner. It makes no difference, what did he do?"

Scarlet's body froze, and another person said: "Who knows what he committed? Anyway, Tang County Magistrate arrested him. There is no mistake. We just follow the orders from above."

"But this is too fast. I always feel that something is wrong. Although I have never seen a death row prisoner, I heard from Mr. Yang that the death row prisoner will be reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review. If there is no trial, the person will be chopped off, if it is a wrong case..."

"Hey, why are you so stupid? County Magistrate Yang is not in the city now, and County Magistrate Tang is still a temporary magistrate sent by the upper county. We are just small officials. Can we say that he handled the wrong case?"

Scarlet's heart felt cold when he heard it, and he couldn't help opening his eyes slightly, and saw two people standing at the door of his cell, he pricked up his ears to listen, and heard the man continue: "Our county magistrate only started from Qipin , and County Magistrate Tang is from the sixth grade, which is a whole higher rank than our county magistrate. Not to mention us, even if County Magistrate Yang comes back, he will not reverse the case for him. Don't look at our Luojiang County is richer now However, it is still incomparable with Huayang County, Tang County Magistrate naturally wants to finish the case and go back as soon as possible."

"It doesn't matter if it's the scumbag who did it. Anyway, if you catch him, that's what he did. When the time comes, he will be executed. When he reports to the higher authorities, he will say that he committed suicide in fear of crime or something. Just fool around and let it go."

Scarlet's whole body went limp when he heard it.

"Anyway, it's an old case, and the evidence is not enough. It's impossible to say who did it? At that time, the magistrate Tang will close the case and make a contribution. We can leave, and we will be much more relaxed."

"Well, it's a human life after all."

"That's because he was unlucky. Who told him not to say anything? Even we can see that he didn't report anything. Who is to blame?"

"That's right, let's go, this is the last trip, I have to patrol every night, but I'm exhausted."

"is not that right……"

Out of the corner of Raddy's eye, he watched the two figures turn and leave, and then he shoved his fist into his mouth tremblingly, not letting himself cry out. He was so frightened that tears flowed down...

After dawn, the guards carried the wooden barrels again and knocked on the wooden spoons for breakfast. It was still a spoonful of porridge for each person, plus a brown steamed bun mixed with bran.

The scarlet man was lying on the railing at the door and looking out, but the guards ignored him and sent him to the cell at the corner before he was about to leave.

Scarlet was so hungry that he couldn't take it anymore, he quickly called out: "Big brother, big brother, sir, I, am I hungry again today?"

"You?" The guard looked back at him, and said with sympathy, "Yes, but yours is a little different from theirs, so you have to wait a little bit."

Scarecrow was taken aback.

The guard had already left with his things, no matter how he called, he didn't look back.

The scarlet was in despair, and two guards came over with two big food boxes with smiles on their faces. They walked straight up to the scarlet, and asked him to step back in a very nice manner, and then opened the door of the cell. , Bring in the food box.

Once opened, there is a whole stewed chicken, a fish, duck meat in soup, and a large bowl of white rice...

The guard placed all the food in front of Mantou, even took out a jug of wine and put it in front of him, and said to him with a smile on his face, "Haven't you eaten all day, are you hungry? Come, eat quickly."

Good night
