Chapter 257: Autumn Fu Twenty-two
Early on the morning of the interrogation, Wu Ya and Sun Ruiwu came to the hospital neatly and in ribbons. The two spent a restless night - only to find out when they returned home that the servants sent out to do things today were blocked from returning, saying that they were being strictly guarded and were not allowed to enter or leave the county government office without permission.
Early the next morning, the two of them cheered up, washed up early and came to the flower hall. I saw public cases and about ten chairs placed in the hall. Some of the gentry involved in the case had already arrived and were greeting people in the yard.
Sun Ruiwu had better eyesight. Seeing that Liu Dalin had arrived and was talking to someone in the hall, he hurried over to greet him.
Liu Dalin seemed to be looking good. Wu Ya was surprised that this semi-reclusive person who usually stayed at home would come to hear the trial - given his status, the most he could do was send a housekeeper. This Australian is so proud
Since the case was being investigated in the flower hall, all the rites of passage were waived. Wu Ya and Sun Ruiwu's koans were set up in the upper section, and Zhou Dongtian's koan was also set up in the lower section. The two groups of slaves below, each holding water and fire sticks, stood neatly, but their clothes were in a mess, and they were wearing everything - their official uniforms had been stripped off by students from the General Administration of Political Security and put on the latest chapter.
Zhou Dongtian looked at this scene, which was like a courtroom scene on TV. He knew that he would soon be the "big boss" trying the case, and he felt very uncomfortable. I thought that the trial system must be reformed in the future, otherwise how could I stand it as if I were acting all day long?
Lin Changsan saw that the officials were all seated and the gentry had also arrived. He was about to take the lead in shouting for authority when he saw Zhou Dongtian wave his hand: "Bring the prisoner up."
Immediately, the three prisoners were brought up, and Zhou Dongtian asked common questions such as their names, ages, and places of origin. He knew that these three people were not prisoners at all. They were just acting at the moment, so he started asking about the case without any further words. The three of them were very happy and took over all the crimes.
"Who instigated you to do such a thing?" Zhou Dongtian scolded.
"Sir," said a man in the middle, "it was Li Gong who ordered it."
The expressions of the gentry who were listening changed. Li Gong was Li Xiaopeng's personal attendant, and no one in the county knew it. Everyone knows that Li Xiaopeng has been following Huang Xunkun everywhere to petition. Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Huang Hankun.
Huang Hankun was taken aback. He didn't expect that it would be blamed on him. He was about to stand up to make a judgment when he saw Liu Dalin shaking his head slightly, so he restrained himself and looked at what was going on.
Zhou Dongtian didn't know who Li Gong was. Question: "Who is Li Gong?"
Someone next to me had already replied: "It's Li Xiaopeng's long-term follower."
"Li Xiaopeng" Zhou Dongtian casually looked through the materials at hand and suddenly realized, "It turns out he is the young master of the Dung Ba family."
When this title was uttered in public, everyone in the hall couldn't help but laugh. The servants sneered and laughed, and the gentry all either covered their faces and snickered, or simply drank water and pretended to cough.
“Where did you buy the knife?”
"Li Gong gave it to me."
"Where's the bow and arrow?"
"He also gave it to me."
Zhou Dongtian sneered: "The confession is true."
"Everything is true, young people dare not lie to the master."
"Where can you shoot arrows with a few stone bows?"
How did they know about this? They all looked at each other in confusion, and one of them boldly said casually: "It's on the street in front of Master Liu's house, Shishi Gong."
"That's nonsense." Zhou Dongtian slapped the case and said, "When shooting an arrow in front of the door, why did the arrow hit the arrow in the opposite direction? It's Li Guang who is dead. Furthermore, Li Gong has no grievances with the Jin gentry, so why did he do this?" You can’t make sense, you’re obviously lying.” He said and yelled, “Pull him down and give each person twenty punches first.”
The yamen servants in the soap class shouted in unison: "Twenty!" They came up and pulled the three people down the hall to use the cane - there were talismans and they said hello. This was a familiar routine. The plank was just the head of the cane touching the ground, and there was a crackling sound. The spanking was very lively, but actually the skin on the buttocks was not missing. After a short while, he was restored to life. Zhou Dongtian saw that the three people were just pretending to be in pain, and knew that the people below were lying. His face darkened:
"Try the trick of sticking the stick on the ground with me." Zhou Dongtian's face showed a ferocious look, "Xiao You, give me some good treatment and treatment for these desperate bastards."
You Guotuan and several interns from the interrogation section of the General Administration of Political Security came over immediately and took the man who was walking with his cane to the hall and knelt down. These people were held behind their backs and grinned in pain.
"What are these useless people doing with their hands?" Zhou Dongtian waved his hand and said, "I'll destroy you."
There were several clicking sounds in the hall, and several slaves' joints were immediately removed using special techniques. The screams could not be heard without stopping, and some people fainted on the spot from the pain.
"History of Sun Dian"
"Yes, yes." Sun Ruiwu didn't expect that the Australian would actually commit an attack on the spot, and he was already shaking with fear.
"These useless people are useless and should be fired."
"Yes, yes, fire immediately"
At that moment, these people were pulled down from the hall and tied up with ropes. You Guotuan and those on standby were all interns from the interrogation section of the General Administration of Political Security. All of them were cruel and ruthless people who had a deep grudge against the government. They were immediately arrested. Individuals were tied up like rice dumplings and thrown to the ground, and a rope was tied around their throats. This was what Wu De taught them. They could silence prisoners without gagging.
Everyone in the hall looked pale. It was expected that these Zaoli whose hands had been broken would not end well, and at the very least they would have to be sent to Nanbao to open stones.
"Pull it down and hit again," Zhou Dongtian ordered.
The slaves were already trembling with fear. Lin Changsan had more experience and knew that he had encountered a "strength order" today. He did not dare to neglect it and quickly warned: "fight hard."
The three of them were immediately pulled down. After all, their own lives were at stake, and the slaves were very heavy-handed. After twenty strokes, the three unlucky guys had only the strength to breathe.
"I ask you again, are you the ones throwing knives and shooting arrows?"
"Master, please have mercy, it's not a small thing——"
"Who is that?"
"Yes - yes -" Now several people were in trouble. Fu He and the others couldn't afford to offend him, and felt extremely regretful. Why did they do this for a few taels of silver?
"Hit again"
"Master, don't fight me." Seeing that their lives would be in danger if they were beaten again, the three people quickly admitted that it was Fu He's order to bite Li Gong.
The Jin gentry were quite surprised. Fu He had nothing to do with the grain requisition, so why did he bother to come to the muddy water? But Sun Ruiwu and Wu Ya knew: Fu He wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail the Li family. This is a trick commonly used by fast-moving government officials.
"Come here, bring the talisman"
In a moment, Fu He was still grinding his teeth with his men in the squad room. Seeing the blood on the buttocks and thighs of the three unlucky guys, I thought that this bastard Lin Changsan was too unloyal. He took care of the person he wanted to take care of, and he also gave the staff money, but he was so ruthless.
"Fu He," Zhou Dongtian shouted, "these three people are not the criminals in this case. It is inappropriate for you to randomly find someone to blame. You also instructed these three people to bite Li Gong with the intention of extorting. What crime should you be punished for?"
Fu He knew that the matter had been exposed, but he was his husband for many years, so he could naturally handle the situation. He was not afraid to say that these three guys were scoundrels in the county and had been punished by him in the past. This time he wanted to take revenge.
"If I were to convict these three people based solely on their words, it would be too credulous."
Zhou Dongtian smiled and said, "In that case, I'll let you understand." After saying that, he waved his hand. Someone had already turned on the amplifier of the recorder nearby, and the sound of him talking to three unlucky guys in the teahouse was immediately heard from the speaker. recording.
Fu He's amplified voice echoed in the flower hall: "As long as you insist that it was Li Gong who ordered you to do what you did, that's all."
"How are you doing? Do you want to continue listening?" Zhou Dongtian asked.
Everyone in the flower hall was so horrified that they could not speak: It is terrible to use a black box to emit human voices, and it can also repeat what others have said exactly as it is. It is simply a magic trick. Is this the legend? Huang Xunkun, the "Shunfeng Er", was even shrouded in fear, his face turned ashen. For a moment, he felt that he was just an ant who overestimated his capabilities and tried to shake the tree.
Fu He collapsed on the ground, unable to say a word, and his whole body was just trembling. After hearing Zhou Dongtian's questions, he kowtowed on the ground and begged for his life. Immediately, he went to find Chen Minggang and collected his money, including instructing people to bite Li Gong in order to blackmail him according to his request.
"Seeing that you are quite honest," Zhou Dongtian said slowly, "I will give you a chance to redeem yourself and make meritorious deeds. The time limit is half an hour. Bring me the real culprit."
"Yes, yes, I'll go immediately, little one." Fu He left in embarrassment.
There was dead silence in the flower hall. Cold sweat broke out on everyone's back. Zhou Dongtian looked at everyone's expressions with satisfaction. It seems that killing the chicken to scare the monkey has a good effect. This group of wealthy gentry really needs to be given some color to see how powerful we are. Then he glanced at Huang Hankun mockingly. Seeing this, Mr. Huang almost collapsed to the ground.
Within a few moments, Fu He led the people to bring the three people who had been bribed by Zhou Qi. These three people didn't use torture at all. They came to the court to see the power and lessons learned - a few bloody buttocks, and they immediately summoned everything.
I heard that the instigator was Zhou Qi, and everyone had a look of "this is how it should be" on their faces.
"The arrest will arrive on Saturday"
The following things went very smoothly. Zhou Qiyi was arrested and the case was brought to the police immediately:
"The one who bribed these three people to threaten the gentry and scholars is Xiao Xiao."
"Oh, why are you doing this?"
"I don't dare, little one." Zhou Qi kowtowed to the ground, "This is - this is -" He hesitated deliberately, as if he had something to hide.
"Speak quickly so that your skin will not suffer"
"It's the little master. Chen-Chen-Chen Minggang told the little one to do it."
Although this was an expected confession, when Zhou Qi said it, there was still a suppressed exclamation in the flower hall. Wu Ya and Sun Ruiwu sighed secretly: Chen Ming has just finished.
