Chapter 37: The Tiger of the Zhao Family

Previous Chapter

Back at the county office, Zhang Zhen asked Zhong Xing and others to throw Koji Qi on the lobby first, splashed cold water on him to wake up, and quickly walked into the back hall to call Wu County Order. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Wu Xianling in the back hall had a cup of tea in his hand, was reading a book, and in order to show that he really had a head disease, he deliberately wrapped a white cloth around his head.

Zhang Zhen entered the back hall, saw Wu County's order, and quickly stepped forward and arched his hand: "My lord, I have captured Koji Qi back." ”

Wu Xianling's face was solemn, his eyes moved from the book in his hand to Zhang Zhen's face, he shook his head and grinned, he didn't know whether to praise or ridicule, and waved his hand and said: "Don't ask me about this matter, deal with it yourself, this official is now suffering from a head disease and can't be a director." ”

Zhang Zhen said: "My lord, if I catch the head, I can arrest people at most, and the trial and conviction are not within my scope of authority." ”

Wu Xianling said unhappily: "We said before, I will give you an official identity, you just toss, toss into what it looks like, but rely on your ability." I'm not going to help you, and you don't want to pull me into the water. ”

Zhang Zhen originally felt that Wu County was not bad, but at this time he was also a little dissatisfied in his heart, and said: "I didn't want the adults to help me, I just wanted the adults to do something." There are jailers who have killed prisoners, the evidence is conclusive, this happened right under your nose, and I also arrested people for you, and you still want to pretend to turn a blind eye? If you want to seek a quiet and stable place, hang up the seal and abandon the official, and go back to be a rich man, wouldn't it be more comfortable than now. ”

Wu Xianling was a little hesitant for a while, he knew that what Zhang Zhen said was reasonable. The reason why he worked hard to occupy the position of the county magistrate and refused to let go is that he hopes that he will one day return to power, although he does not know where the hope is, it does not mean that he will give up. He has been in the cold for ten years, worked hard to gain fame, gave gifts to bankrupt families, drilled the knot of his head, and tried his best to become the county magistrate of Tongyu at any cost, let him let go, how can he be willing to do it.

But reason told him that with such a big mountain as Zhao Laohu pressing on it, now is not a good time to take charge of affairs.

Wu Yanpeng was annoyed that Zhang Zhen was troublesome, and he couldn't find a suitable excuse to shirk it, and at this moment, there was a cough outside, and Lieutenant Kong walked in with a gloomy face.

As soon as Lieutenant Kong saw Zhang Zhen, he immediately glared at him and said, "Zhang Zhutou, who allowed you to arrest people?" ”

Zhang Zhen said coldly: "Lord County Lieutenant, then Liqi not only killed Xin Wei, but also seriously injured Yang Bantou. For such a vicious person, it is the duty of his subordinates to arrest him, and he does not dare to shirk. ”

Lieutenant Kong shouted: "The surname is Zhang, let me tell you, don't think that the head catcher is an official, you are an errand runner, and it is not your turn to call the shots in the yamen." ”

Zhang Zhen smiled and asked rhetorically, "Am I in charge?" I'm not in charge, I'm not asking Lord Wu to call the shots. Lord Wu, the prisoners are outside, the catchers are waiting, and the people of Tongyu are also waiting, are you ...... Not yet promoted? ”

Wu Xianling was a little in a dilemma, he looked at the county lieutenant Kong with a cold face, and said in a consultative tone: "Since everyone has been arrested, and the people are also watching, why don't we go to the hall first and ask?" Koji Qi has been a jailer for so many years, and he has always been loyal and of good character, how could he kill a prisoner without permission? The official felt that there must be some twists and turns, and he still had to interrogate to figure it out. ”

As soon as the county lieutenant Kong was about to object, he seemed to suddenly remember something, sneered again, and said: "The lord is the respect of a county, and naturally you don't need to discuss what you want to do, and the lower official is just a county lieutenant, how dare you talk too muchβ€”β€”"

Wu Xian Ling hurriedly smiled and said: "What is this saying about County Lieutenant Kong, Captain Kong has surpassed his own officials a lot in terms of character and talent. The affairs in the yamen have to be discussed, discussed......"

Lieutenant Kong stretched out his hand to Zhang Zhen and sneered: "Our wise and martial Zhang Da has arrested people, what if we don't go to the court?" liter bar. After speaking, he glanced at Zhang Zhen deeply with a strange look, turned around and left.

Seeing that the county lieutenant Kong did not object, Wu Xianling secretly calculated in his heart, and said to Zhang Zhen: "You go and inform the officials, prepare to be promoted, and the official will change his official uniform, and he will come immediately." ”

――――――――――――――――――――――

"Might-Might-"

Tang Wei is that the catchers shouted in unison while knocking on sticks. The sound of knocking on a stick sounds chaotic, but in fact it has a peculiar rhythm, which can give people a sense of urgency, and to put it bluntly, it is a psychological tactic. The word "mighty" has two meanings: one is because the "mighty" voice has a sense of deterrence, so as to oppress the people who do bad things, weaken their courage and make them weak. Moreover, it comes from "unyielding might", that is, so that good people cannot be subjugated by power and force, and do things that violate morality and law.

But now, the spirit of the soaps standing in the hall shouting completely failed the word "Tangwei", and they were as listless as frosted eggplants. They haven't been promoted for a long time, they're used to being lazy, and they know that the Koji Qi who is waiting for trial is a member of the Black Tiger Gang, so they feel that the result is obvious, but it's just a formality, so they don't have much interest at all.

Their perfunctory attitude made the people waiting next to them very happy.

Tang Wei shouted, Wu Xian ordered to dress up, turned out of the meeting hall, sat down under the sea water asahi map, patted the wood, and said loudly: "Who is locked under the hall?" What kind of sin have you committed? ”

Xing Jianxun stepped forward to help Koji Qi, who was crooked on the ground, to his knees, and shouted: "The eldest master asked you something, hurry up and report it according to the truth." ”

The blood on Koji Qi's face, his whole face was beaten and deformed, he was blue and swollen, and he was splashed with cold water, and his hair was sticking to his face one by one, and the whole person was like a terrible ghost crawling out of the grave, miserable and terrifying. He peeked out half of his eyes from the gap between the two strands of hair, stared at Zhang Zhen deeply, and seemed to want to remember Zhang Zhen's face firmly, so he replied: "Little Koji Qi, I've seen Master Wu." ”

Zhang Zhen quietly listened to Wu County's order to inquire about the case, and Zhong Xing next to him hesitated, leaned over to Zhang Zhen's side, and whispered: "Head catcher, how do you say Master Wu will judge this case?" ”

Zhang Zhen said: "There is no bend in this case, it is very clear and clear, that is, there is no excuse for wanting to shield the criminal, how can it be judged?" ”

Zhong Xing was silent for a moment before he said in a low voice: "Head catcher, it seems that you still don't understand our Master Wu's temper." ”

Zhang Zhen glanced at Zhong Xing suspiciously, and just wanted to ask what he meant, but quickly understood what he meant.

Wu County's order was really handled impartially, he asked people to carry up the body of Old Man Xin, and asked very seriously, it was too serious. What injuries did Old Man Xin have on his body, whether he was injured in prison, how he died, when he died, every whip mark and every knife wound had to be carefully examined, and he couldn't be sloppy at all.

Just the corpse was examined for more than an hour, and the sweat on both sides of the body was sweating, and the soaps on both sides yawned, and even the few catchers around Zhang Zhen were quite impatient, and their bodies kept shaking and standing uncomfortable.

Finally determined the cause of the deceased's death, Zhang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was about to listen to the sentence of Wu County's order, he didn't expect that he pinched the goatee on his chin and began to pass on eyewitnesses again.

On the night of Old Man Xin's death, Koji Qi deliberately broke away from other jailers, and they knew what Koji Qi wanted to do, so they had to sell Koji Qi a face. At the time of the incident, only other prisoners were present in the cell. The current situation in Tongyu City, a little famous prisoner can't be caught, the cell is full of petty theft, and there is no background and blood mold is arrested and is about to be caught.

They all knew that Koji Qi was a member of the Black Tiger Gang, and they saw him torture Old Man Xin to death in a cruel and inhumane way, how could anyone dare to come out to testify, and they all said that they didn't see anything.

Wu Xianling was overjoyed when he saw this, and just wanted to make a big fuss about this point, saying that the evidence was insufficient to allow for a retrial, but the people outside who were watching suddenly made a commotion, and consciously separated to both sides and made way for a road. Then a figure appeared, and walked all the way into the lobby under the awe-inspiring gaze of everyone.

Zhang Zhen was waiting for the sentence of Wu County's order to be announced, but when he heard the change, he just wanted to look back, when he heard Zhong Xing next to him, he heard an "ah" from Zhong Xing beside him, and exclaimed: "He, why did he, come in person......"

Zhang Zhen looked at the person who was striding in, in his forties, tall and slender, with a Chinese face, a high and open forehead, a round chin, eyebrows like a knife and an axe, and bright eyes. This appearance looks mature and steady, the city is very deep, shrewd and elegant, fierce and funny, there is a kind of domineering of princes and generals, I really can't see that he is a gang leader.

Zhao Laohu, I don't know his real name, I only know that his name is Zhao Laohu.

Zhao Laohu walked into the county hall as if no one was around, and the officials and officials he encountered along the way changed color and retreated. In the lobby, Wu Xian Ling picked up the shocking wood and was about to make a verdict to be imprisoned for investigation, when he suddenly saw a tall man with his hands behind his back, and he couldn't help but be shocked there.

"Let's go!"

The shocking wood in Wu Yanpeng's hand fell down, he stood up in a daze, and retreated to the side of the case in a bit of a panic, wanting to bow his hand to Zhao Laohu. I also felt that above the public court, it was inappropriate for me to act like this as the dignity of a county, and I was frozen there to advance and retreat.

Zhao Laohu walked proudly between the corpses of Qi Qi and Old Man Xin, and looked at the officials standing with canes on both sides like air. Koji Qi noticed that the atmosphere in the lobby was strange, and hurriedly looked back, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, took two steps forward with his knees, and slammed his head on the ground: "The little one has seen Gang Leader Zhao!" ”

Zhao Laohu stood up, looked at him, and asked lightly, "You are Koji Qi?" ”

He asked people to kill Old Man Xin in prison, and from the order to the reward, he handed it over to his subordinates, but he had never seen Koji Qi's face with his own eyes.

Koji Qi nodded hurriedly, a face Rao was beaten and deformed, but it still made people see the joy in it, and said: "Yes, yes, the small one is Koji Qi." I didn't expect your old man to know the little cheap name. ”

Zhao Laohu snorted coldly and said, "My people are really embarrassed to go to court!" Get out of the way! ”

Koji Qi hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes!" The little one is incompetent, the little one has disgraced you to the helper, the little one should be damned! Koji Qi said that his hands were tied behind his back, and he only slammed his forehead to the ground vigorously, and the bang was really hard, and the banging sound could be heard throughout the court.

Zhao Laohu didn't pay any attention to Koji Qi anymore, and walked in front of the county master's case before stopping and looking at Wu Yanpeng quietly.
