Liu Haojia was very satisfied to see the morale of the officers rising! Then he waved his hand to signal everyone to quiet down and said: "It's useless to shout now. We will prove who is more capable on the sword in the future! I have told you everything that needs to be said now. Go back and think more about it yourself! Now This officer has to handle a case. If you are not interested, please leave. If you are interested, please stay and listen!"
These officers are not stupid. They know that this is the time to show the chicken to the monkey, so they will leave! So they all expressed their willingness to stay and watch.
Liu Haojia was very satisfied with their choice and directly ordered people to arrange chairs for them and put them back, leaving a large open space in the hall, and then asked the servants to bring everyone up.
The first person to come in was a middle-aged woman, accompanied by two young men, a man and a woman. It looked like a mother with two children. When they arrived here, they looked scared and confused. They seemed to have no idea why their family was brought here. But the young man still looked very good. He worked hard to stand in the front and covered his mother and sister with his body.
The officers present were basically all good people, and they knew something clearly when they saw the expressions of the three people. Because their performance was exactly what Zhang Baishui said, everyone basically had a tendency in their hearts.
Then looking at Bai Liqun and his soldiers who came in, everyone was almost sure that this was true! Because he and the soldiers all looked pale and panicked. Bai Liqun was a little better and was relatively stable, but two of the six soldiers behind him were almost pale, their legs were weak when they walked, and they looked guilty at first glance!
Then three more people came in, one of whom looked like a craftsman, and the other two were obviously the shopkeeper and a waiter. Zhang Baishui, who came in last, looked excited! In his opinion, since the Marshal has arrested everyone, he really wants to investigate the case. Maybe his uncle's revenge can really be avenged!
When everyone was kneeling on the ground, Liu Haojia pointed at the mother and son and said, "Who are you? Tell me your name!"
The middle-aged woman kowtowed and said in a trembling voice: "Zhang He from the slave family, this is Zhang Shoujun, the eldest son of the slave family, and this is my youngest daughter."
Liu Haojia nodded after hearing her introduction and said, "Zhang He, do you know why I invited you here?"
Zhang He tried hard to calm down and said, "I don't know!"
Liu Haojia said to Zhang Baishui who was kneeling next to them: "Zhang Baishui, please repeat what you just told me, in a simple way."
With permission, Zhang Baishui quickly told what happened. Before he could finish, Zhang He covered his face and started crying. His son Zhang Shoujun, who was young and didn't know the depth, got up and pounced on Bai Liqun. !
Zhang Baishui, who was kneeling next to him, did not hold him back. As a result, as soon as he stood up, he was kicked in the stomach by the servant standing behind him, and he immediately fell to the ground unable to move! At this time, Zhang Baishui had already gotten up, pushed Zhang Shoujun to the ground, and whispered: "Brother, this is a place like the White Tiger Festival Hall. Where can you act wildly? Kneel down quickly!"
At this time, his mother and sister also rushed over, reluctantly picking him up and making him kneel down. However, the blow he received was severe, and his face was turning purple even now, causing the mother and daughter to glare fiercely at the servant who took action.
Zhang Baishui pulled his cousin and said: "Don't blame that brother, I have been merciful! Otherwise Shoujun would not be out of breath, but vomit blood! Also, you really can't move around here , Talking nonsense will kill people!"
When they calmed down, Liu Haojia said to Bai Liqun, "Bai Liqun, you heard what Zhang Baishui said. Is what he said true?"
Bai Liqun immediately knelt straight and said, "Commander, this is absolutely not the case. He is slandering this official! As a naval officer, how could he know the law and break the law and communicate with pirates?"
Liu Haojia ignored him and said directly to the soldiers kneeling behind him: "You are his soldiers. I'm afraid he can't hide anything from you. So what do you have to say?"
The six soldiers immediately denied that this was the case, and some even swore that if they really communicated with the pirates, they would die badly!
Then Liu Haojia asked his servant to show the pawn ticket and the jade pendant to the shopkeeper, and asked, "This is the pawn ticket from your pawn shop. Can you recognize it?"
The shopkeeper had already understood it after listening for a long time, so he took it and read it carefully before nodding and saying: "Sir, this is indeed the vice-note of the villain's pawn shop! It turns out that the villain doesn't know that it is being pawned by This brother stole it. At that time, the villain thought it was the account book that the mistress had broken, and even scolded him! As for the jade pendant, I can only say that I have an impression, and I really can’t remember it. But if according to the supplementary volume Judging from the records on it, there is no doubt that it was an item from that day!”
Liu Haojia then asked directly: "Do you recognize the person who came to your place as a jade pendant? Is he in the lobby?"
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed and said: "Sir, it's been more than two years since this happened. I really can't remember it clearly! It's just that from the looks of it, the second brother next to me is the most similar. !」
Liu Haojia immediately turned his attention to the soldier. His face twitched and he cursed loudly: "Don't talk nonsense! I..."
Before he finished speaking, a scabbard was hit on his shoulder, and then he knelt down obediently. Liu Haojia sneered and said, "Then what's your name?"
This man took a look at the pawn ticket in the shopkeeper's hand and knew that it had his signature on it, and his name must not be hidden! So he suddenly turned his head and said loudly: "The villain Qin Wanli!"
After hearing this, there was a slight commotion and sigh among the officers! Because when Zhang Baishui told the story just now, he had clearly stated the name on the pawn ticket, which was Qin Wanli. Now it seems right!
Then Liu Haojia turned to the waiter and said, "Do you remember if this is the person who made the jade pendant?"
The boy said with a grimace, "Back to you, sir! I really can't remember! It's been more than two years, and I really can't remember!"
Liu Haojia didn't make things difficult for him, because it was obvious that he was telling the truth. It has been more than two years since the incident, and recalling it again is indeed a test for people's memory. Then Liu Haojia asked his servant to hand the jade pendant to the craftsman and said, "Are you a craftsman here who specializes in making jade? What's your name?"
