Live streaming life: The ancients begged not to stop

Qi Cheng came home from get off work, made himself some food, and then lay on the sofa to play on his tablet. However, he was a little tired of playing several games, so he wanted to see if there was anything more exciting.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t find it, you can ask your friends.

A colleague recommended him a more exciting documentary called "Super Time and Space Identification". Qi Cheng read the introduction and was immediately attracted.

This is the kind of exciting show you should watch late at night.

The show started off with a rather dark atmosphere, with a little girl holding a window paper and asking why the color she encountered wasn't there.

[Then the story's background is introduced. This case took place during the Ming Dynasty, and the county magistrate was named Yin Zhao.]

[The case begins with the sound of slightly gloomy music.]

A man named Zhang Kun came to report the case, carrying two human heads. He said his cousin and his wife were committing adultery, and he encountered them and got into a fight with them, accidentally beating them to death.

However, the magistrate did not close the case. Instead, he carefully examined the two heads and found that the cut on one was smooth, while the other had a shrunken flesh.

【There is a loophole! 】

"It's good, I like watching this."

《One was killed alive.》

"Hidden under the covers, who can tell me why he came to file a complaint?"

There was a law in the Ming Dynasty that if a husband caught an adulterer, he could kill her without being guilty.

……

Daqin

Qin Shi Huang felt that later generations were too powerful. They could film such things and some people were willing to watch them. Don’t they feel scared?

I am definitely not afraid. I have seen all kinds of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"Come here, take careful notes and see what knowledge is contained in it." Qin Shihuang instructed his subordinates, while he himself looked at the sky curtain intently.

Such an exciting case, of course I have to watch it carefully.

Ming Dynasty

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know when this happened in the Ming Dynasty, but this law was indeed true. According to what was said before, the person who came to report to the authorities was reporting a false case.

This county magistrate is quite responsible. If he had met someone irresponsible, he would have gotten away with it.

So there is a loophole in this law.

Qing Dynasty

Emperor Qianlong stroked his white jade ring with a smile on his face. The four major cases of the Qing Dynasty were mentioned earlier. I wonder if this case was a major case in the Ming Dynasty.

If it's related to politics.

Then can I also have a little face?

County Magistrate Yin Zhao again inquired whether the act had occurred after death. After receiving a definitive answer, he immediately stated that he would go and inspect the scene.

After arriving at Zhang's house, the scene was well-protected. Zhang Kun's cousin was lying on the ground, while Zhang Kun's wife was lying on the bed.

[Their clothes were disheveled, and they certainly looked like they were caught in adultery! ]

【But after a careful inspection, Yin Zhao was sure there was a problem! 】

He then questioned the others, and just as he was about to leave, he met Zhang Kun's cousin's wife, who provided Magistrate Yin with another clue.

The Zhang family's ancestors left behind a pawnshop, which has always been run by the two brothers. However, Zhang Kun and his father want to sell the shop these days, but Zhang Kun's cousin disagrees!

Killing for money.

The people outside the sky curtain all felt that Zhang Kun must be crying "stop thief", but there were still no clues in this case, and it could not be directly proved that it was Zhang Kun who killed the person.

"I think we should just drag him out to the lobby and give him a good beating. Zhang Kun will definitely confess."

"Isn't that a confession forced upon him? I don't think this county magistrate is that kind of person."

"When will such a good official come to our county?"

Yin Zhao ordered his men to dig a large pit in the back mountain, then light some firewood inside. When the pit heated up, he placed the body on top of it.

After one stick of incense, when the body's temperature has risen, a mixture of wine and vinegar is sprinkled on rice paper, which is then used to cover the body.

[This is the method recorded in Xiyuanlu, which can be used to determine if there are any other injuries on the body.]

I learned it. I learned it.

Song Ci seems to have used this method.

"This is the scene in the story of the imperially bestowed coroner."

Song Ci lived in the Song Dynasty, and Xiyuanlu is his book. It was normal to use this method in the Ming Dynasty.

宋朝

Zhao Kuangyin felt that his strange knowledge had increased again. This Song Ci was amazing. People kept mentioning him in the barrage of the video, and that meant that he was more than just a master at solving cases.

"Father, he has a book that has been passed down. It should record various autopsy techniques. It seems that Tianmu has mentioned him before."

"It's a pity that this person didn't come at this time, otherwise there would definitely be fewer false and wrongful convictions."

Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin asked people to record it quickly. These methods should have been verified by later generations and there is no problem with them.

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty can also use this method to solve cases in the future.

Zhang Kun's cousin had no visible injuries, only a strangulation mark on his neck, while Zhang Kun's wife had numerous bruises from being severely beaten.

Finally, the county magistrate announced the results: Zhang Kun's cousin was strangled to death. His head was chopped off simply to cover up the marks on his neck. Zhang Kun's wife was beheaded alive.

[In the lobby, the county magistrate directly announced the result. The murderer was not Zhang Kun as everyone thought, but Zhang Kun's father.]

Domestic violence is unforgivable.

Neither the father nor the son is a good person.

"How pitiful this woman is. Even after her death she still has a bad reputation."

"Why doesn't the woman's family intervene at this time?"

[After investigation, the county magistrate discovered that Zhang Kun's arm was broken and he had been unable to exert any strength for some time.]

[Zhang Kun's daughter, who witnessed the incident, said her uncle was lying on the table while her grandfather was scolding her father.]

[He also hit his father with something.]

……

All the clues were connected, and Yin Zhao had figured out the whole story of the case. Sure enough, it was similar to what he had thought before. The deaths of the two people were not the same.

You strangled your own nephew to death in order to sell the pawnshop. You killed your daughter-in-law out of disdain for her, and then you sent your son to deceive the authorities, claiming you had caught them in adultery.

[Someone, take him to the death row and wait for your punishment!]

The people outside the sky were very excited. This was much more interesting than listening to books, and they could also learn some useless knowledge.

I just wonder if we can watch it during the day next time. They were so scared that they didn’t dare to go to the toilet.

Qing Dynasty

Emperor Qianlong kicked his huanghuali footstool. When introducing the cases of the Qing Dynasty, even the Minister of Justice did not dare to delve into them. But when introducing the Ming Dynasty, even a county magistrate understood the cases so well.

It's so unfair!

Why not say he was an official of the Qing Dynasty?

Isn’t he just a shrewd county magistrate? He doesn’t believe that there was no such official in the Qing Dynasty.

there must be!
