Not only was Yang Zhou stunned, but Fu Yunlang next to him was even more confused.
He stared straight at Wen Xiaoyun.
Legend has it that Wen Xiaoyun is not only a genius in solving crimes that is rare in a century, but also an expert in identifying people's hearts.
The stories about him are more like gods and legends than the last. Why is it that when I come here, I can't hear any good words or see good people?
Could it be that he acted too calmly and calmly just now, and did not let Wen Xiaoyun notice Fu Yunlang's dissatisfaction with Dian Shi Yangzhou?
But compared to this, Fu Yunlang was more worried about how it would end later.
If Wen Xiaoyun really turns out to be a pewter gunhead this time and fails to help him hold Yang Zhou back, Lin Nan may be in danger after he is imprisoned.
Of course, he also knew that Lin Nan was not completely innocent. He would definitely not be able to get away with the crime of selling stolen goods.
But if the charge of selling stolen goods really goes down, Lin Nan will definitely be labeled as a bandit by Yang Zhou.
Fu Yunlang knows this very well.
In fact, in the Lin Nan case, Yinnuo quietly greeted Fu Yunlang from the moment he started following and investigating.
Later, he unexpectedly discovered that Lin Nan was involved in the bandit's stolen goods business, and reported him immediately.
Although Fu Yunlang was completely suppressed by Hu Yang's two families, he did not dare to make any big moves. But after all, I still have some time in Teng County. It is still possible to look through some household documents, check some testimonies, and find out some information.
After informing him of the news, Yinnuo continued to investigate the case outside. Fu Yunlang also quietly started his verification work.
After carefully reviewing all the files of the Lin family, he sent his old man to inquire about various situations of the Lin family, and finally determined that Lin Nan was not a bandit, but just an ordinary profiteer.
But it doesn't matter if they are not mountain bandits. What is important is that as long as such people have had connections with mountain bandits, as long as they go through the interrogation of the Teng County Yamen, they will be judged as mountain bandits without exception.
Fu Yunlang has experienced many such examples, and he understands the Yang family's methods very well.
There was even an extreme example that makes people tremble with anger even now when I think about it.
When that case occurred, Fu Yunlang had not yet been transferred to Teng County as the county magistrate.
That time, Dian Shi Yangzhou led a group of fast-moving soldiers to encircle and suppress the bandits, but failed. Only two little bandits who were asking for information were caught.
It’s better to grab two than none. So Yang Zhou asked people to tie up the two young bandits and take them back to the Yamen first. He himself searched the surrounding mountains and forests a few more times to see if he could catch a few more.
The police officer escorting the trafficker chose a shortcut back to the city. While passing by a house down the mountain, they saw a middle-aged man standing at the door of his house with his hands in his sleeves, smiling silly and watching the fun.
When the two young bandits saw the fool, they were immediately furious. They turned around and said to the policeman watching over them, the man on the left who was leaning against the door frame and smiling at them was also a bandit! Because of internal disputes, he took some people down the mountain and hid them. Now I see that all the old nests on the mountain have been confiscated by the Yamen, and I am gloating and watching the fun.
The yamen officer turned his face and looked at his companion. Without saying a word, he quickly made a decision and stepped forward to lock up the unfortunate guy who was watching the fun.
The unlucky guy naturally refused to plead guilty. He screamed for injustice and tried to escape along the way. The few police officers who came out to lead him didn't have enough manpower. Now that he saw that the man was still causing trouble, he went up to two of them and beat him up with a long scabbard knife.
In this way, the unlucky guy is considered a bit more honest. After being taken to the county government office, he originally wanted to repay his grievances to the county magistrate, saying that he was not a bandit at all.
He just stood at the door and glanced at the excitement.
It is actually very simple to get to the bottom of this case. But the strange thing is that the county magistrate and Yang Dianshi at the time actually decided that the man was a bandit. Not only that, they also sentenced him to death together with the other two bandits.
Naturally, the farmer refused to plead guilty even to death. What awaited him were rounds of more cruel punishments.
After several rounds of severe torture, the farmer finally couldn't stand it any longer and admitted the identity of the bandit after complaining.
With this, all subsequent steps went very smoothly.
After the Yamen finalized the case, it was reported to the imperial court for review, and the imperial court submitted it to the Holy Emperor Zhu for approval. After Zhu approved it, it was a solid Qiuhou question, and there was no room for turning around.
The next year, Fu Yunlang took office normally.
In the early days of taking office, he paid no attention to the case. Because if you just look at the text, there is no flaw in it.
Since it is a fake case from the ground up, it must have been manipulated in every aspect, and there will be no flaws that a discerning person can see through at a glance.
Later, according to the handover procedure for new officers, Fu Yunlang had to go to the prison to inspect various prisoners. Then I saw the farmer who was so tortured that he almost lost his human form.
The farmer didn't know where he got the news. He knew that Xinzhi County was coming to inspect the prisoners today. As soon as he saw Fu Yunlang, he went crazy and banged against the door pillars to complain to him.
