Chapter 513: Coerced Confession and Evidence Collection
After nightfall, the hammer girl, who couldn't hold it for a long time, was about to pull Fan Sanpang out three times and twice, intending to act according to the plan of the day, but fortunately Fan Sanpang was dissuaded in time.
The two of them had already inquired into the residence of Landlord Pang and several of his servants during the day. It's in an inn not far from the governor's mansion.
The girl with the hammer waited until the third watch, and then the two of them went out with their weapons.
By this time, it was late at night, and most of the residents of the city had fallen asleep.
The two quietly slipped into the inn where the landlord Pang lived. The guy who guarded the door stopped Fan Sanpang and the two men coming in and asked. Fan Sanpang only said that he was going to a certain room to find his own landlord. The man believed it and let them in.
In fact, Fan Sanpang knows how to do light work, he can fly the eaves and walk the wall, and jump into the room of the landlord Pang from the window, but unfortunately, the hammer girl does not know how to do light work, she still has to come with Fan Sanpang, so Fan Sanpang had to take her directly from the door of the inn.
Pang Landlord's name is Pang Guangqi, if Xiao Ding hears his name, he will definitely think of the word "cystitis".
The landlord and several servants of his family lived in two rooms, one for himself and one for several servants, and the two rooms were next to each other. All on the second floor of the inn.
Fan Sanpang and the hammer girl came lightly to the outside of Pang Guang's room, listened attentively, and heard a snoring sound coming from inside, it seemed that the landlord Pang was already asleep.
Fan Sanpang did not directly enter Landlord Pang's room, but first gently plugged in the door of Landlord Pang's room from the outside, which was to prevent him from secretly escaping after hearing the movement.
Then, with the hammer girl, he went outside the room of the servants of the landlord Pang next door. Fan Sanpang gently pushed the door, and when he saw that the door had been inserted inside, he knocked lightly a few times, and when he saw that there was no movement inside, he continued to knock on the door.
Not long after, I heard someone inside wake up and asked in a daze, "Who?" β
Fan Sanpang pinched his nose and replied: "Open the door quickly, the master has something to do with you." β
The man inside slept in a daze, his mind didn't turn around at all, and he thought it was in the house of the landlord Pang in Majiatuozi Town, and it was common to be called up in the middle of the night, so he put on his clothes and got out of bed and opened the door.
Fan Sanpang and the hammer girl immediately rushed into the door, closed the door with their hands, and then Fan Sanpang put the iron pot lid in his hand across the neck of the person who got up and opened the door, and whispered: "Don't shout, or I'll kill you!" β
The servant who opened the door, through the faint light through the window, saw two black shadows entering the room, one tall and one short, both very fat, the short one also held a bright and dangling, like a knife not a knife weapon on his neck, he thought that he had met a robber, wanted to rob the property, and hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "The king spares his life, the king spares his life, we are servants, there is no money, if you want to rob money, go next door, our lord is rich, he is a landlord, and the family has silver." β
At this moment, the hammer girl took out the fire fold and lit the oil lamp on the table, and several people on the bed were awakened. The hammer girl pointed at a few people on the bed with a big hammer and said, "Be honest with me, whoever dares to shout, I will smash your heads with a hammer." β
There were four servants living in this house, and except for the servant who opened the door on the ground, the other three were all shrunk under the covers, not daring to make a sound.
By this time, the four servants had recognized Hammer Girl. In Majiatuozi Town, the Hammer Girl is notorious, and there are few people who don't know her. What's more, Landlord Pang's house is next door to the blacksmith shop of the Hammer Girl's house, and although the four of them are servants, they also recognize this tough girl.
Fan Sanpang motioned for Hammer Girl to tie up the three people lying on the bed. Hammer Girl took out the clothes of the three men beside the bed, pulled out their belts, and tied them up with the quilt. Then he used the stinky socks of the three men to plug their mouths.
When the hammer girl tied up the three of them, the three of them did not dare to resist at all, they had always known the temperament of this girl, and if she dared to provoke her, she might really go down with a hammer and open her head.
Seeing that the hammer girl restrained the three people on the bed, Fan Sanpang lifted the neck of the person on the ground and said sharply: "I ask you, you have to give me an honest explanation, if you dare to tell half a lie, I will cut off your head directly." β
Fan Sanpang has been wandering the rivers and lakes before he met Xiao Ding, don't look at his appearance, he is actually very experienced in the rivers and lakes, and he also has a kind of ruffian nature of the rivers and lakes. This attack was ruthless, and the servant was also frightened.
At this time, the servant was only wearing a coat, this winter, the temperature in the house was not high, he didn't know whether he was frozen, or frightened, his legs were weak, his whole body was trembling, his teeth trembled, and when he heard what Fan Sanpang said, he had to tremble and say: "Okay, okayββ, I will listen to the king all ββ,, no, I dare not hide it." β
Fan Sanpang saw that this servant didn't have any bad ideas, so he was a lot relieved, so he continued to ask: "Let me ask you, what is the matter with the box of silver you found from the blacksmith shop next door to Landlord Pang?" Did you let it go? β
"This ββ, this, the villain doesn't dare to say ......." The servant said tremblingly.
"What?" Fan San's fat eyes widened, and he lifted the servant's neck again, and then moved the iron pot lid in his right hand, deliberately letting the servant look at the sharp iron blade on the edge of the iron pot lid. Then he frightened: "Why don't you dare to say it?" If you don't say it now, you'll die now! β
The servant was immediately frightened and shrank his neck, and hurriedly shouted, "The king spares his life, the king spares his lifeββ, I sayββ, I will say this." β
Fan Sanpang glared again and said, "Hurry up, if you dare to tell half a lie, I will cut your neck anyway!" β
The servant was so frightened that he even inhaled cold air, and said in a trembling voice: "The ββ,ββ, of that box of silver, in fact, is actually our master, let ββ, let us turn over the ββ, over the wall in the middle of the night and send it to the blacksmith's shop." β
"Sure enough, you put it in the blacksmith's shop." Fan Sanpang was relieved, and finally confirmed, so he continued to ask: "Go on, be detailed, by the way, do you know how to write?" β
"Little ββ, little man, no, can't write." The servant shook his head and said.
Fan Sanpang turned to the people on the bed and asked, "Which of you can write?" β
The three people on the bed also shook their heads again and again, they are all the lowest people in society, they haven't read any books, where can they write?
Fan Sanpang can write some commonly used words, but he can't write words that are not commonly used, so he asked again: "Do you have pen and ink here?" β
The four servants shook their heads again and again, they couldn't even write, and where would they carry pen and ink with them?
So, Fan Sanpang asked the hammer girl to go to the door downstairs and ask the guy who was guarding the door for a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
The Hammer Girl turned and went out, and in a few moments, she came back with pen and ink.
Fan Sanpang adjusted the ink, lifted the pen, and then said to the servant on the ground: "You carefully explain the process of sending the silver." β
The servant did not dare not listen, and it was worth continuing to tremble and tell what had happened.
It turned out that since the Hammer Girl beat Pang Guangwei's son, Pang Guangwei had a grudge against the Hammer Girl's family, but he was afraid of the Hammer Girl's force and did not dare to look for trouble in person, so he came up with an idea of framing him, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the blacksmith shop at night, so he sent the four servants in the house to carry a box of silver, climbed over the wall, and secretly put it in the blacksmith shop. Then the next day, he went to report to the official, saying that the family had lost the silver, and it was probably stolen by the blacksmith shop next door, so the county order sent an official to search, and Pang Guangwei asked the four servants to find the box of silver in front of the official, so the blacksmith Tieguanyin was arrested and put in prison.
That's all the servant knew, and he stumbled out. Fan Sanpang recorded them one by one with a pen, and when he encountered words that he couldn't do, he drew circles instead.
When the servant had finished speaking, he had the servant dip his finger in ink and put his handprint on the confession. At the same time, the three people on the bed also pressed their handprints.
In the end, Fan Sanpang waited for the ink on the confession to dry, put the confession into his arms, and then said to the four servants in the room: "I hope you will say the same next time you go to the court, if there is a difference of half a word between what you say and what is on this piece of paper, I will cut off your heads." Don't think I'm scaring you, for if I can find you today, I will find you later. You have to think about whether you are talking to your lord or your life is important. Also, don't tell the truth about tonight's events, but if you want to say it, you will tell the truth because you sincerely repent, understand? β
Where did several servants dare to refute, nodded again and again, and responded in their mouths: "Understood, understood, we won't say it, we said it voluntarily." β
Fan Sanpang nodded with satisfaction, pulled the lid of the iron pot in his hand a few tricks, and then threatened: "You guys, remember, if you say the wrong thing, you will lose your head!" This incident tonight was said by you who took the initiative to repent, not by me forcing you to say it! β
"Yes, yes, we took the initiative to say it, and the king didn't force us." How dare the four servants not agree, they all nodded in response.
So Fan Sanpang left the guest room with the hammer girl and went directly to knock on the door of Pang Guang's room next door.
When the servants heard the two gods knocking on the door of the lord next door, they knew that their lord might be unlucky tonight, so they all hurriedly lay down on the bed and pretended to be dead, as if they had not heard any movement.
Pang Guangwei was sleeping soundly, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, so he asked impatiently, "Who, still knocking on the door so late." β
Fan Sanpang still pinched his nose and said, "Master, open the door quickly, it's a big deal, your seventh aunt is too runaway." β
Pang Guang was startled, and hurriedly got out of bed to open the door, and as soon as the door opened, he saw two evil gods at the door.
