"No!"
Geng Xin wanted to stop it.
The jailer pushed him away and yelled at him: "Think clearly, if you give it a try, you may still live. If you don't give it a try, you will be completely dead. Think of your family, they are still waiting. You go home!"
These words made Geng Xin hesitate.
But he only hesitated for a moment before he rushed forward and stood in front of the lock of the iron fence door.
He said sonorously and forcefully: "We can't let them go! We can't even die. Those few of them are all criminals who have been on the run for more than ten years. If we let them go, it will be difficult to catch them again.
Think about it, you don’t know how many more people they will harm outside by then! And those robbers outside, who were so grand and unabashed, would definitely be much easier to catch than Wei Zhi and the others.
I am willing to use my own life to gain a faster time for them to surrender! "
When Wei Zhi heard this, he stamped his feet in anger.
He really hasn't killed any good people, so why don't you believe him? He plucked out a small stone from the wall and flicked it towards the back of Geng Xin's head.
When Geng Xin heard the news, he immediately turned his head, passed the pebbles, and glared at Wei Zhi, intending to teach him a few more words.
But his colleague, the jailer, took action.
He took advantage of this opportunity and slashed Geng Xin with a knife, knocking him unconscious.
Then he dragged Geng Xin's body away and found the iron gate.
He released the prisoners who promised to help him fight the enemy.
…
It was getting dim, and when Di Ying got up and washed up, she received the report.
The old man in charge of pouring night fragrance in the Yongquan County government office gets up before dawn to work, and then...
However, the county government did not find anyone alive.
The old man was frightened out of his mind. He stumbled and ran to the street and asked someone to go to the government office to report the incident.
But no one was willing to move, and they were discussing endlessly outside the gate of the county government office as if they were watching a good show.
Especially after hearing that the county magistrate was also killed, he even clapped his hands.
It was just taken secretly. I applauded secretly in my heart.
It wasn't until a yamen official who was on duty came over and heard about it that he rushed into the county yamen, took a horse, and rushed to Fuzhou City and the government yamen to report the case.
Di Ying was shocked.
Attacking the government office, committing a major crime of rebellion, and destroying all nine clans!
Who is this person who is so sorry for his ancestors?
He threw away all the belongings in his hands, called out to the dark clouds, and rushed to Yongquan County before the guards could gather.
It's really... terrible.
From the gate to the back door of the county jail's backyard, except for the light-duty prisoners on the ground floor of the county jail, no one could breathe.
Oh no, there's another one.
There is another cell in the dungeon with a locked door, and there is a prisoner inside who has not escaped and is still in a coma.
Di Ying took out three needles and woke the person up.
If you want to know what happened in the county government office, this man is the only witness.
But this man was awake, but he was dumbfounded.
There were knife marks on the back of his neck and marks on the back of his head where he had been hit with a heavy object.
The back of the head was not broken, but the person was knocked stupid.
This man was wearing the uniform of a jailer.
When he woke up, he was smiling with his mouth open, drooling, and his eyes dull. Can't even utter a single word.
There is no reaction to anything outside. It was as if I had sunk into my own world and had nothing to do with the outside world anymore.
Di Ying sighed and motioned to Xu Si to take this man out. Take him out blindfolded.
This man couldn't stand any more stimulation.
Outside, there were corpses and blood everywhere.
Di Ying went out to examine the corpses. After examining one body, he asked the guards to place the corpses that had been inspected one by one on the tarpaulin spread in the empty field.
The county magistrate's whole family was really killed, and even the lowest maids, servants, and the old concierge were not spared.
The county magistrate died in his concubine's bed. He died quite well...the expression on his face was only surprise and pain, not even surprise.
This shows how fast the gangsters can attack and kill.
The entire county government office seemed to have been plundered by a storm, and all valuable items were swept away.
Even the food in the county treasury was all moved away by the gangsters. This shows the criminal's calmness of time and psychological composure.
The grain in the county treasury is for the consumption of the people in the county government. Fortunately, it is not the county's public grain storage. Otherwise, Di Ying would have to allocate grain from elsewhere and fill the grain depot first.
Food is always the top priority to maintain the stability of a place.
There is no need for autopsies on these corpses, and there is no time to dissect them one by one in detail.
Except for the corpses of county government officials, the rest were obviously criminals and robbers.
There is still one……
"Sir, the body of this jailer was found in the dungeon. According to the person from the county government who was not on duty last night, when he claimed it, he said that this man was named Bi Meng. He was one of the jailers who was responsible for guarding the dungeon last night."
When Tan Sansheng put the body down, he explained it to the adults.
Di Ying glanced at Bi Meng's body, and then quickly conducted a preliminary inspection on it. It was found that he had been stabbed in the back and died.
The expression on his face was...surprise.
In other words, he did not expect that the person behind him would suddenly attack him.
But according to the living government officials: there are only two jailers responsible for guarding the dungeon every night.
Now one person is stupid and one person is dead.
The scars on the neck and back of the head of the stunned jailer showed that they appeared before the time of Bi Meng's death.
Then, it wasn't Bi Meng who was attacked by the stupid jailer.
So who is the person behind Bimeng? How could he gain Bi Meng's trust and successfully attack him secretly?
Could it be that? Is Bi Meng actually the mole of that group of robbers?
But the iron door of the dungeon clearly showed signs of being hit many times. It was obvious that the robbers were trying to force their way in.
If there is a mole, why can't the door be opened after knocking out the stupid jailer? Is it still necessary to hit hard?
In addition, maybe the robbers massacred the entire county government office because it would make a lot of noise?
After checking all the corpses for the first time, Di Ying walked around the county government office and checked over and over again before going through the case files.
Then, the guards were asked to find a list of the dead, and then the living government officials identified the persons one by one, linked them to the list, and then painted portraits.
In the end, everyone who had committed crimes and those who were members of the county government office were gathered together with Di Ying.
That is to say: the roster includes the officials, the magistrate's family, the servants, and the prisoners. Regardless of whether they were dead or alive, their portraits had been drawn and piled up.
Di Ying had two copies in his hand that he had specially taken out.
One person commits the crime: a gangster named Wei Zhi. He was a notorious murderer who had been wanted for ten years by the government with a reward of 5,000 taels of silver.
According to his case records: Wei Zhi was captured by a bounty hunter. It was here in Yongquan County that he was caught. So I sent it to Yongquan County.
Because Wei Zhi's household registration could not be found out, he refused to identify him, so he caught him somewhere and sent him to a local government office.
He was not executed on the spot. He was still waiting for the Ministry of Punishments to come to mention him, or for the approval of the execution from Dali Temple.
This person currently has no whereabouts and no idea of his life or death.
He is not among the living, nor among the dead.
The other copy Di Ying has is that of the idiot jailer.
