Chapter 45: Suddenly Turning Around
Under Chen Xiao's order, Qin Shou, the son of the Gong Shi Lang of the Ministry of Officials in the cell, was brought over.
When the arrest was made, because it was very early, Li Pingzhi had not yet come, so he didn't know yet.
After the prisoner Qin Shou was brought to the hall, he stood and looked at Chen Xiao, smiled, and said:
"Are you going to let me go today?"
But seeing this man of nearly thirty, dressed cleanly and meticulously groomed with his hair, where does he look like a prisoner?
But it's reasonable to think about it, after all, this guy is the son of the Wupin Gong Shilang, and he is in prison in the imperial capital, so he doesn't dare to treat him too much.
This case, it stands to reason that Fu Yin can be tried in person, why hasn't it been tried?
In Chen Xiao's view, it's just to stall for time.
After a long time, this matter will be over, and the person will be released.
Otherwise, as soon as this Qin Shou came out, he asked Chen Xiao if he was going to let him go today.
Looking at Qin Shou's appearance, Chen Xiao just smiled and waited quietly.
On the other hand, the soap clerk went to preach the bitter lord.
After a short time, the bitter lord came to the hall and knelt on the ground.
It was a woman in her twenties, looking haggard and in bad spirits, with marks of being beaten on her face, which had apparently subsided a bit.
This is exactly what Chen Xiao guessed, in a few days from this case, the woman's injuries will be gone, and the traces of being defiled will be gone.
When the time comes, it will be tried casually, and the matter will be settled, and they can release the person.
Therefore, officialdom is deep.
Fortunately, Chen Xiao came, and he took advantage of the time to bring the case to trial immediately.
When the prisoner and the bitter master arrived, Chen Xiao smiled at Qin Shou and said:
"Qin Gongzi, we have to solve this matter, you have to cooperate!"
Hearing this kind words, Qin Shou smiled, he knew that ordinary officials below the fourth rank would not offend him, or that they would not offend his father.
Because his father's work is equivalent to assessing the actions of officials, which has a great impact on the promotion and promotion of officials.
Therefore, judging from Chen Xiao's attitude towards him, he felt that Chen Xiao also planned to help him and curry favor with him.
So he sneered and said, "You can rest assured, this son will cooperate with you!" ”
He thought that Chen Xiao was just going through the motions.
However, Chen Xiao sneered in his heart, the reason why he was like this was nothing more than to give this Qin Shou an illusion.
But the surrounding officials misunderstood, they thought that Chen Xiao, the new magistrate, would really try this kind of case as soon as he came, but now, they can't help but disappoint everyone.
Including the bitter master, that is, the woman, she is also a little desperate.
Chen Xiao didn't care about everyone's expressions, cleared his throat, and said in a polite voice:
"The prisoner Qin Shou, three days ago, raped the bitter master Li Xiuxiu in Chunfeng Lane, and was found by the people passing by and called the street patrol to arrest him, the evidence of the case is conclusive, the criminal Qin Shou, can you plead guilty?"
The last sentence was especially gentle, and he still looked at Qin Shou with a smile and asked.
Qin Shou said: "Don't admit it! ”
Chen Xiao said: "Qin Gongzi, you have to admit that you did it, otherwise you can only continue to investigate, and you will have to continue to go to prison, and you can't solve it!" ”
Qin Shou smiled, he was sure that Chen Xiao was helping him, thinking that what Chen Xiao said was right, he confessed his guilt, and he would not punish himself much, and he would go out after the yamen operated.
But if you don't admit it, you won't be able to close the case, and although you can get out quickly, you will have to go to jail for a few days.
So he smiled and said to Chen Xiao: "Oh, if that's the case, I'll admit it, dare to do it, why don't you admit it?" Hahaha......"
Next to her, the woman bowed her head, tears streaming down her face, and she understood that she had been called here today just to go through the motions......
Around, the officials and soap officials all looked at Chen Xiao with contempt.
Many people are scolding Chen Xiao in their hearts for being another corrupt official......
Chen Xiao said to the civilian officials who were making notes on the side: "Give the confession to Qin Gongzi!" ”
"Qin Gongzi, you have signed a confession, and you can leave!" Chen Xiao said with a smile.
Qin Shou signed the confession bookmark with a smile, obediently pressed his handprint, and then said to Chen Xiao: "Then Lao Tzu can go, right?" ”
When Chen Xiao saw that he signed and postponed, the smile on his face was gone, and it was replaced by a sneer:
"Let's go! Hehe, do you still want to go? ”
Qin Shou sensed that something was wrong, his face changed, and he shouted angrily: "What do you mean? ”
Chen Xiao snorted, slapped the wood in his hand, and shouted: "Prisoners in the hall, don't kneel down yet!" ”
Qin Shou was taken aback, thinking to himself, what is the situation? Why did you suddenly turn your face?
At the same time he was furious: "Kneel? Boy, you don't know who I am, do you? I'm the son of the Minister's Division......"
Without waiting for Qin Shou to finish speaking, Chen Xiao shouted at the two soap officials: "Let him kneel!" ”
The two soap officials glanced at each other, a little confused, they didn't expect that the pusher who they despised just now suddenly turned their faces.
At the same time, they were a little afraid to make a move on Qin Shou.
Seeing this scene, to be honest, Chen Xiao was really angry, this is the phenomenon of officialdom? People with backgrounds are rampant in crime, public officials are dragging their feet again and again, and when it comes to the court, the soap officials don't even dare to do anything to him?
Chen Xiao, who was angry, glared at the two soap officials: "Didn't you hear what this official said? You guys, trying to disobey orders? ”
The two soap officials had no choice but to buckle the calf of Qin Shou with a fire stick, Qin Shou couldn't stand on his feet, and knelt down.
Qin Shou glared at Chen Xiao and scolded, "Bastard, you dare to do this to me? My father knows, don't want to be an official in the future...... If you want to be promoted by the officials, I advise you to quickly help Lao Tzu up and admit his mistakes to Lao Tzu......"
"Palm!" Chen Xiao frowned!
Next to him, a soap official gritted his teeth, so he had to step forward and slap the prince of the Gong Shi Lang for more than a dozen mouths, and the mouth was bloody.
Now the son of the meritorious service test is honest, his mouth is swollen, but a pair of eyes are staring at Chen Xiao, eager to devour Chen Xiao alive.
Chen Xiao saw that he was honest, so he snorted.
This scene made everyone confused.
Just now, he was accompanied by a smiling face and a bite of Qin Gongzi, obviously making Qin Gongzi's mouth smash?
Chen Xiao was shocked at this moment, and shouted: "The criminal Qin Shou now confesses to the rape of women, and has signed and detained, and this official will sentence the criminal Qin Shou according to the law of the Dragon Kingdom, and he will be beheaded in a few days!" ”
Qin Shou's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "No...... No...... Didn't you say that if I cooperate with you, you won't have to go to jail......"
"If you don't go to jail, wait for the approval of the Criminal Department in the next few days, you will die, what are you still going to jail?" Chen Xiao said.
Qin Shou was anxious: "You said that if I confess my guilt, you will let me go......"
Chen Xiao said: "Yes, if you confess your guilt, you will let you go, but you will take Huangquan Road." ”
"Ah...... Dog thief, miscellaneous, you trick me ........." Qin Shou realized that he had been deceived by Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao sneered: "Take it down!" ”
In the hall, the woman hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, sir......"
Chen Xiao took a deep breath: "Exit ......"
The first time he handled the case, he felt that it was quite smooth.
It's just that at this time, Yin Hetong of the Imperial Capital Mansion came with a sneer.
They came here according to last night's plan, preparing to let Chen Xiao handle the case of the son of the Ministry of Officials.
But as soon as he came over, he saw Qin Shou being dragged away by the soap officer, and he was immediately stunned, what was the situation?
