What happened next was almost the same as the soldiers guarding the city in Yanshi County said. This group of Caogang men entered the city as merchants, then left the city as merchants, put the prisoners in boxes, and left smoothly, without any danger.

The people from the Ministry of Justice only stared at the help Li Ling might have found in the officialdom, but they were completely unknown. His real power came from the world. This mistake was enough for them to make a completely opposite inference.

After talking about his own words, Wan Shenji asked about Li Ling’s experience: “My sir, everything goes well, aren’t they suspected?”

"It's a bit suspicious, but I've dealt with it calmly. As for the success, the others are fine, but the clues were cut off on Chu Shiwu's incident. He was dead, and they insisted that he died in the prison of Yanshi County. Moreover, there were no fatal wounds on his body. As they said, he died of sudden illness."

This is the most troublesome thing, because Chu Shiwu is the most powerful witness and breakthrough that Li Ling can grasp at the moment. Now that he dies, the previous inference will naturally be without evidence.

"This is an obvious murder to silence!" Wan Shenji said with a deep expression.

"I also know it's silence, but the problem is that there is no evidence. He has no sign of killing him. Some wounds on his hands, feet and wrists may indicate that he was imprisoned by several different shackles, but it can only be used as circumstance evidence. It is impossible to confirm that he was imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice."

Li Ling's previous practices were to use a trick to shake the mountains and shake the tigers. The original intention was to let the Ministry of Justice send Chu Shiwu back in panic, and then take the opportunity to get it, so that the witness would be available.

However, the Ministry of Justice is also a veteran in this field, and he did the most neatly and did not give him this opportunity at all. The last one he got was such a corpse with no flaws.

Wan Shenji was silent for a moment before saying, "Sir, there are still many ways to kill a prisoner without leaving any trace. In our Imperial City Department, there are two most commonly used ones. One is to use mulberry paper to stuff the prisoner's mouth and nose, pour water, stick paper and pour water, and repeat this until the person is killed alive... There is no possibility of any wound on such a corpse..."

"I also know this. Just using this torture to kill people will eventually leave a last resort. For example, the expression on the deceased's face and lungs will inevitably accumulate. Even if you die for some days, as long as you don't rot, you will vomit water. But Chu Shiwu has no such trace."

"That is the second way to kill people without blood. It is also a silence, but it is to press dozens or hundreds of kilograms of sand and stone on the person, and then tie the person tightly so that he cannot move. In less than ten hours, the person will die. Moreover, afterwards, except for the distorted face, there is no external injury to check."

When Li Ling heard this, his expression suddenly moved: "It's very likely. I've seen his appearance. Although he has been sorted out, he can still see his pain. Obviously he suffered all the torture before his death... By the way, can such punishment be found through inspection after death?"

This time he was about to disappoint him. Wan Shenji smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This is difficult. The Imperial City Department and the Ministry of Justice and other judicial departments have always had some prisoners who cannot be killed at will for many years. In many cases, they used this trick and have never been caught by anyone..."

Li Ling sighed. Although he was expecting, the result still made him feel very uncomfortable.

"It seems that it is impossible to start with Chu Shiwu's sins." Li Ling sighed at first, but then said, "Fortunately, we still have Zhang Kang and the others. By the way, are those two people helping me?"

Wan Shenji's face suddenly became extremely solemn: "Sir, the fruit of the Ministry of Justice is indeed deeper and more muscular than we thought. Chu Shiwu is just a little floating on the surface."

"What do you mean?" Li Ling was so energetic that he asked quickly.

"In fact, a few years ago, some statements were circulating in secret, saying that the Ministry of Justice often asked people to kill others and replaced those serious criminals who should have been asked to be executed in the autumn with innocent people. However, because this matter is too strange and unreasonable, even our Imperial City Department has not really investigated it."

Li Ling nodded thoughtfully. Qiu Jue from the Ministry of Justice can be said to be one of the most important group of death row prisoners in the entire Great Vietnamese country. Among them are bandits who have caused trouble in the local area, unforgivable criminals, and court officials who have made great mistakes... Anyway, they are all not ordinary people. Even if ordinary people make trouble, they will not be imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice prison - at least on the surface, that's the case.

But because these prisoners are not comparable to ordinary people, they have money and power, and can use various means to seek survival. From the judgment to the autumn decision, it will last for a year and a few months, which is obviously enough for them to operate.

Li Ling even thought of something that happened to him many years ago. It was an assassination. After he broke the abacus of King Yong and the prince, several assassins suddenly touched his own yard and were then discovered and taken down by Li Moyun.

After handing them over, they found that these assassins should have been dead, but they should have died in the earlier Qiu Jue, because they were once a big thief in the Zonghengheluo area and killed many people. This incident had a considerable impact in the court. Later, several assassins died suddenly in prison, and the matter was left unresolved.

At that time, Li Ling did not investigate in depth, and did not carefully consider the possible hidden information behind this matter. Now, as a corner of the Ministry of Justice was revealed, some things were slowly pieced together.

Seeing that Li Ling was temporarily in deep thought, Wan Shenji stopped and did not rush to continue. Until Li Ling looked up, he continued: "But this time, I learned a certain inside story from Zhang Kang. The Ministry of Justice was indeed secretly replacing death row prisoners with innocent people. Most of them were inconspicuous prisoners like Chu Shiwu, who were locked in a county yamen outside the capital. Then one day he suddenly moved flowers and trees, secretly sent them into the capital, and handed them to the Ministry of Justice. He was given the identity of a certain criminal, and when the time came, he pulled him to Caishikou, he would die with one knife. As for the real prisoner, he could leave the yamen and cell with another identity.
