After listening to Wang Zheng's words, the inspector finally stopped talking too much with Li Guanhua and the Anxi County Magistrate. He just waved his hand and said, "Take them all back to the state capital."
When Li Guanhua heard this, he immediately said, "Sir, we were wronged!"
It's a pity that the inspector ignored their complaints.
After leaving Anxi County, the inspector escorted Li Guanhua and the Anxi County magistrate to the state capital at high speed.
As for Wang Zheng, he stayed here with a group of state soldiers and continued to trace the whereabouts of his master and others.
However, Xu Zhilan and Xinguan moved this group of people away before they realized that the situation was wrong. Therefore, it was very difficult for Wang Zheng to find that group of people in the county government at this time.
In an abandoned hut on the outskirts of Anxi County, the gentlemen from Anxi Town were all gagged, tied up with ropes, and pinned to the ground by several Anxi government officials.
In front of them, Chen Ke, dressed in black, was sitting in front and looking at them coldly.
He asked coldly, "Are you recruiting or not?"
However, when Xinguan quickly escorted them away from here, this group of people realized that Wang Zheng must have invited people from Anxi Prefecture.
After all, Anxi Prefecture and his side are like grasshoppers on the same rope. If something happens to them, Anxi Prefecture will definitely be implicated.
Therefore, they had the intention of delaying time from the moment they sent Wang Zheng to report the news. Now everything is going smoothly as they expected. How could they confess at this juncture?
Therefore, in the face of Xinguan's threat, not only did they remain unmoved, the others only said, "We will not admit it. These things have nothing to do with us. We are all innocent people."
Listening to the fact that they were unwilling to admit any problems at the moment, Xinguan was too lazy to play any conspiracy with them that was based on their interests. He was not the magistrate of Anxi County, so he didn't need to explain so many rules.
Therefore, after they emphasized that they were all innocent, Xinguan directly took out a stack of confession papers, and then said, "Just press their marks. I have already written the confession papers! Their crimes are all On top."
Hearing this, the yamen servant next to them began to draw signs on them.
They were naturally struggling desperately at the moment.
One of them even threatened, "Even if we sign the bond, we won't recognize it!"
"That's right! We don't recognize it!" Another person shouted.
However, when Xinguan heard this, he was unmoved and said, "I don't expect you to admit it. Anyway, I'll wait until you sign the pledge. You won't deny it either."
After hearing this, the other four people were already a little scared. However, the man named Ke who ordered Wang Zheng to find the prefect of Anxi did not shed tears without seeing the coffin.
He sneered and said, "Who are you scaring? Do you think I have been scared since I was a child? My brother is the prefect. Let me see which one of you dares to take my life."
With that person, the other four people were not so scared at this time.
yes! They have the prefect supporting them, so what are they afraid of?
The four people were no longer afraid.
Xinguan naturally noticed this person.
At first glance, this person is used to being violent, but he is afraid of risking his life.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "So what if your brother is the prefect? With this paper, he is the king of heaven. I dare to pull him down! If you don't believe it, I'll start with you."
After the words fell, Xinguan just pointed at the thorn head and said, "Let's start with you first. Let's mark it first and then kill it."
After receiving Xinguan's words, the government officials immediately pressed the man's thumb and soaked it with red mud. Then they forced the man to draw fingerprints on it.
The man naturally refused to obey, but it was hard for him to fight with two fists. He was quickly held down by the officials and held captive.
When the officials pressed the fingerprints on the man, they immediately dragged him down.
The man who was dragged down could only shout loudly, "You can't do this to me! If the prefect finds out, you will definitely not get the good news from you!"
However, Xinguan could hardly move in the face of such a threat.
He sneered and said, "Why don't you have a good way to eat the fruit? Your prefect knows
Who am I? Do you know who I am? "
Hearing his question, the rest of the people looked at each other in confusion. No one really knew who this person was at the moment.
Everyone just looked at the man blankly. For a moment I didn't know what to do.
What people fear most is facing the fear of the unknown. As long as the fear is enough, it is enough to break anyone's heart.
And precisely because this group of people didn't know who he was or what his identity was, they had unlimited conjectures and inferences.
At this time, only one straw is needed to break the defense.
After Xinguan finished saying this, he immediately motioned to the guards around him to take the man down directly.
The man then screamed in fear, and then outside the camp, the man only let out an extremely tragic scream.
The person dragged out was their backbone.
The remaining four people, hearing the man's screams, just looked at each other in shock, not knowing what to do.
Xinguan only looked at the expressions of these four people carefully. These people enjoyed the huge wealth and were originally cultivated to be greedy for life and afraid of death. Now under the threat of that fear, their faces were even more pale.
When he saw that the time had come, Xinguan didn't say much. He immediately motioned to the government servants on the side to hold their hands and sign.
This group of people was extremely scared. This was simply a futile task. Since it was a futile task, why did they still stick to this place and not retreat.
Naturally, life is at stake right now.
Therefore, one person immediately said, "Sir, don't kill me, we will do anything! Please spare us!"
Xinguan heard the words but did not agree to them immediately. Until this group of people simultaneously cried out for injustice and begged themselves to spare their lives. Xinguan then said, "Since I can kill you directly to get a confession, why should I keep your lives to cause more troubles. What will happen if you betray me later? I can't trust you, so I'll kill you!"
The group of people immediately began to beg louder. People are like this. When they were suggested to open the windows outside, they refused to agree.
If the roof had been lifted off in the first place, the idea of opening windows would have seemed less difficult to accept.
"Sir, don't kill us! We can recruit anything! We must recruit more than them!"
"Yes! Sir, we are participants after all. We know much more inside information than they do. If you want to know what deal we made with the prefect, we can do anything!"
"Sir, I have recruited more people than him, please don't kill me!"
Listening to them rushing to confess, Xinguan then motioned to a few people and said, "Okay, stop arguing, come one by one. If I think your recruitment is useful, I can spare your lives, but if I deceive Yu, I may avoid the important and take the easy, and that’s what happened to the younger brother of Magistrate Ke just now.”
When this group of people heard this, they immediately said, "Don't worry, sir, we won't say those inappropriate words! We will tell you everything we know, and we will tell you everything we say."
After hearing this, Xinguan just nodded, and then the group began to confess some of their crimes and told Xinguan almost all of their transactions with Anxi Prefecture.
And after these people confessed, they only cooperated and signed a bond.
It seems that the trick you just used to scare the monkeys is very effective.
After these people had confessed, they only looked at Xinguan with sincerity and fear: "Sir, we have recruited everything we can, but we have nothing to hide. Can you spare our lives?"
Xinguan only nodded when he heard the words, "Since you have all recruited me, I will naturally not embarrass you."
After hearing Xinguan's words, those people immediately kowtowed to Xinguan.
However, Xinguan continued, "But you must have the courage to testify when the time comes."
After saying this, those people immediately kowtowed.
"Don't worry, sir. As long as you give me an order, we will fight to the death!"
Xinguan only waved his hand to signal them to go down.
When these four people were taken away, Xinguan only asked another person to take them up.
When they passed by the man, they suddenly discovered that Magistrate Ke's brother had not been killed at all.
Realizing that they had been tricked, several of them felt like their hearts were shaking.
, but at the moment no one dared to face Magistrate Na Ke’s younger brother.
Magistrate Ke's brother was apparently unaware that they had confessed.
He turned his gaze to those people, but their gazes did not meet Magistrate Ke's at all.
"What? Are you starting to get scared now?" Mr. Ke, the younger brother of Magistrate Ke, mocked.
However, those people ignored him.
They have made a choice, and in the current environment, going back on it will only lead to death.
But Mr. Ke doesn't care either.
He came to Xinguan with his head held high and said sternly, "How about it? I told you that you don't dare to attack me, right?"
"Yeah, I don't dare." Xinguan admitted frankly at this time.
Mr. Na Ke immediately became even more proud, "I will not identify my brother for you."
Xing Guanman said nonchalantly, "That's a coincidence. I don't need you to identify them. The other four have already identified them. They are guilty of meritorious service, so they will definitely get a certain reduction in sentence. As for you, you will be imprisoned with your brother until death." Well, do you want to read their confessions?"
Upon hearing this, the man's face suddenly fell.
Yes, those four people are his partners. They are also participants in the secret of himself and his brother. How could they not know.
At the same time, Xinguan only motioned to others to push the letter in front of the other party, "Look at whether this confession is complete and whether the supplements are sufficient."
After saying that, he only handed him the confessions of the four people. At that moment, his face turned pale as he read it. His brothers recognized almost all the information about a few of them. There was nothing he needed to add here. point, so he really doesn't need to admit anything at the moment.
What was even more frightening was that Xinguan then picked up another account book and waved it in front of him.
