Volume 3 The Storm Chapter 102 Inquiry into the Case
When Liao Cheng's sedan chair had just stopped at the door of the yamen, he happened to bump into Tie Wuxin walking towards Shang Bin, followed not only by a carriage, but also by many onlookers.
Liao Cheng opened the curtain, stepped out of the sedan chair and asked, "What are you doing here?"
As the biggest official in Dongming City, Tie Wuxin categorically didn't know Liao Cheng, but he didn't expect Liao Cheng to appear in the yamen so soon, and looking at his gloomy expression, he was obviously not in a very good mood.
Although he knew that Liao Cheng was mostly here for Shang Bin, but the officialdom etiquette could not be abolished, Tie Wuxin still knelt down on one knee, clasped his hands into fists and saluted Liao Cheng and said: "The lower officials are arresting and investigating Tie Wuxin, see Lord Fu Yin." Xia Guan was ordered to go to find out the case of Shang Bin's report on Hu Yu's injury, and now he will bring the two back to the yamen to prepare for trial. ”
"You're just Tie Wuxin? "Liao Cheng is a little strange, he knows this Tie Wuxin, he has always been selfless and unsympathetic, and has solved a lot of big cases, how could he be sent to deal with such a small case today.
"Thank you, sir. After Tie Wuxin got up, he stood aside with a blank face, completely without the flattery of other officials when they saw Liao Cheng.
Liao Cheng's eyes rolled, it seemed that things were not as simple as he imagined, seeing Shang Bin being tortured by the bracelet, he opened his mouth and asked Tie Wuxin: "Since Shang Bin is a bitter master, why did he burn the chain?"
Tie Wuxin clenched his fists and replied: "Lord Qiyu, Shang Bin instigated the guards to besiege and arrest the law enforcement quickly, and was taken down by the lower official on the spot, in order to prevent further accidents, the lower official gave him a bracelet." ”
When he saw that it was Liao Cheng who appeared at the door of the yamen, Shang Bin was overjoyed, but when he heard Tie Wuxin report what had happened, Shang Bin was anxious, and hurriedly scolded: "Tie Wuxin, you are talking nonsense, it is obvious that you are shielding people and criminals, pretending to be public and private, and now you are coming to frame my son, Uncle Liao, you have to be the master for your nephew!"
"Iron catchers, take them all down, and block them on the gate is not in place. Iron catcher, you come with me, I have something to ask you alone. Liao Cheng frowned, looked at the crowd of onlookers gathered outside the door, and turned around and walked towards the inside of the yamen.
A catcher who followed Tie Wuxin muttered in a low voice, "If it weren't for you blocking the gate, we would have gone in a long time ago." ”
Glaring fiercely at the catchers beside him, Tie Wuxin didn't speak, beckoned to the catchers behind him, strode into the yamen, and followed Liao Cheng.
Hu Yu had already stepped out of the carriage with the support of Li San, and had been standing aside to listen to the conversation of several people, just when Shang Bin called Liao Cheng Uncle Liao, the corners of Hu Yu's mouth showed a contemptuous smile, this person is really brainless, he called it so in front of the public, even if Liao Cheng had the intention of helping you, he was frightened back by your voice.
Shang Bin, who was standing side by side with Hu Yu, could clearly feel the ridicule from Hu Yu, turned his head and looked at Hu Yu fiercely, and threatened: "Boy, keep laughing, wait a while when you cry." ”
Hu Yu didn't care about Shang Bin's threat, and said with a smile: "I don't know if I'll cry later, but with a second ancestor like you, what kind of cry should your father be, it's really a sin." ”
"You!" Shang Bin's face turned red, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Okay, don't talk about it, let's go!" The guards beside the two separated the two and urged them to walk towards the yamen.
The yamen of Dongming City occupies a very wide area, which not only has an interrogation hall, a service room for the arresters, a case room for storing information, but also a small prison, which holds a lot of prisoners.
"Brother Catch Quickly, didn't you say that you brought me over for questioning, why did you lock me up here?" Hu Yu asked with some puzzlement, it is said that Tie Wuxin has already turned his face in front of Shang Bin in public, he will not help Shang Bin to harm himself, but what does it mean to lock himself in here, could it be that he can't be the master?
Quickly pushed Hu Yu into the prison cell, and after skillfully locking the prison door, he said to Hu Yu: "Stay here honestly, someone will naturally take you out when you need to be questioned." ”
After finishing speaking, he pulled away, and the originally quiet cell suddenly became noisy, and many prisoners began to discuss what Hu Yu had committed and was imprisoned here.
"Eh, newcomer, what did you do? Look at your dress, your family background should be good, did you offend some big man?" spoke an old man who was locked up opposite Hu Yu, not to mention, this old man was quite accurate in his ability to see people, and explained the reason why Hu Yu was imprisoned at a glance.
With a wry smile, Hu Yu ignored the old man, although he was a self-acquainted character, but in this dark cell, there were some criminals who didn't know what they had done, Hu Yu didn't have the interest to take a white shot, patted the dust on the bed, Hu Yu sat on it, and kept his head down to recall the whole thing.
Compared with Hu Yu, Shang Bin's treatment is very different, although he is also imprisoned in a prison cell, but the environment here is not better, at least the windows are bright and clean, and there are all kinds of living utensils, not like a prison cell, but a little like the upper room of an inn.
But for Shang Bin, who is used to pleasure, he can't look at such an environment, and keeps yelling at the catcher who brought him over to let him out, he wants to see Liao Cheng, but he catches the order, no matter how Shang Bin coerces and seduces, he completely ignores it, locks the door and leaves quietly, leaving Shang Bin alone in the empty room yelling wildly.
Liao Cheng stopped in the side hall, and behind him was not only followed by Tie Wuxin, but also Qian Xiang, the master of the Yamen who came to inquire about him. found a chair at random and sat down, then motioned to the two people behind him, and said with a smile: "Come, all sit, sit down." ”
Tie Wuxin didn't sit down, but clenched his fists and asked Liao Cheng, "Thank you, my lord, I don't know if my lord has anything important to ask the lower official?"
"Don't worry, I'll ask Master Qian first. Liao Cheng always felt that there was something wrong with this matter, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he decided to put it off and not rush to deal with the case, and then decide how to deal with it after figuring out the doorway inside.
"Lord Liao, the little one is waiting here, what do you want to send as soon as possible? ”
Qian Xiang's age is not young, his beard is already a little gray, his slightly chubby body and skin are well maintained, his eyes are bright and bright, he bowed and looked at Liao Cheng with his fists clenched, and his face was full of flattering smiles.
"Didn't Lord Wang sit in the hall today? I don't know where he went?"
The Lord Wang in Liao Cheng's mouth is Wang Bin, the chief official of this yamen, and all the affairs in the yamen are under Wang Bin's jurisdiction, but Liao Cheng didn't see Wang Bin for a long time, so he asked Qian Xiang with his mouth.
Qian Xiang replied respectfully: "Lord Hui, Lord Wang went to Shaoyin's Mansion early this morning, saying that he had found an important clue in the case of Yiyun Villa, and he wanted to tell Lord Shaoyin." ”
After receiving the tea offered by his subordinates, Liao Cheng asked lightly: "I remember that the murder case of this Cloud Mountain Villa has been reported to the Heavenly Sword Academy, and they should send someone down to investigate, why is Lord Wang still investigating this case?"
With a wave of his hand, he asked the maids who were serving on the side to go down, and Qian Xiang said: "I don't know about this little one, Lord Wang is dedicated to the public, maybe he has made a major discovery, and he wants to crack this case before the criminal department comes." ”
Liao Cheng turned his head, looked at Tie Wuxin, who was still standing straight, and said, "Tie Zhutou, if I'm not mistaken, you are in charge of this case, tell me, what major clues have been found?"
Tie Wuxin frowned and thought about it when he heard this, and said with certainty: "Lord Hui, since it was discovered that this case was related to the Heavenly Sword Academy, Lord Wang ordered the investigation to be stopped, and the lower officials really didn't know what clues they had found. ”
"Master Qian?" Liao Cheng didn't speak, but turned his head and glanced at Qian Xiang meaningfully.
