Chapter 380: Chen Ren also has something
After all, a month has passed since the incident, and all the evidence has been destroyed by him, even if Gongsun Jian turns Pingmo County upside down, it is impossible to find evidence.
"In other words, you killed people." Squinting, Gongsun Jian didn't give Zhang Changshou any time to react, and asked again.
"I killed it..."As soon as these words came out, Zhang Changshou was stunned.
He even admitted it to himself!
Frightened, he quickly changed his tone and defended: "Of course I didn't kill the person, but as long as you come up with evidence, then I have nothing to say." ”
It's a pity that with the first admission, then the second admission is not far off.
Therefore, Gongsun Jian continued to ask: "So, that means that you killed Ren Youjing?" ”
Although the words were repeated again, it was Gongsun Jian's strategy, and he wanted to make Zhang Changshou anxious and expose his flaws before targeting.
"My lord, what you think is what you are, anyway, you people are all the same dogs, specially oppressing us people." When it came to the back, Zhang Changshou deliberately shouted loudly at the people outside.
He hoped that someone would come and show his support.
It's a pity that the people outside the door won't fall for Zhang Changshou.
Not to mention that Zhang Changshou said that he killed the person just now, which has already made the people at the door suspicious.
And if the murderer in the end is really Zhang Changshou, then those of them who obstruct the government's handling of the case, although they will not go in and squat for a few days, they will be fined hundreds of dollars.
For them, who only have a few taels of silver a year, they naturally don't want to be fined for no reason.
After all, a few hundred dollars is not small, isn't it fragrant to take this money to give your wife and children a meal of meat?
It is precisely because of this that as soon as Zhang Changshou's words fell, there was no movement at all from the yamen at the door, and there were even a few who wanted to leave here.
After all, although the excitement is beautiful, sometimes it costs money!
This scene not only made Zhang Changshou a little overwhelmed, but also a nameless fire rose in his heart.
On the other side, seeing that Zhang Changshou was starting to be a little irritable, Gongsun Jian struck while the iron was hot, and continued to ask the boring-sounding sentence just now: "Zhang Changshou, people, did you kill it?" ”
Who knows, this sentence, which sounds boring to ordinary people, directly ignited the fire in Zhang Changshou's heart.
He stood up suddenly, glared at Gongsun Jian angrily, and shouted: "I killed the person, I killed him, You Jing scolded me for being old and immortal, I will poison him with Lei Gongteng, how about it?" What else to ask? ”
Hearing Zhang Changshou's words, Gongsun Jian was happy, but Zhang Changshou himself was dumbfounded.
He not only confessed to the murder just now, but even explained the cause of the case and the tools used to commit the crime.
Holding back the smile in his heart, Gongsun Jian took advantage of Zhang Changshou's still flutes and asked Wang Hui beside him, "Gongsun County Order, what kind of poison did You Jing die?" ”
It is worthy of the county order of the Great Zhou, and the reaction is fast, Wang Hui hurriedly replied loudly: "My lord, You Jing was poisoned by Lei Gongteng. ”
The reason why he wanted to speak loudly was not only to the officials in the yamen, but also to the people outside the yamen.
The person was killed by Zhang Changshou.
Here, seeing that Gongsun Jian and the two want to condemn their crimes to death, Zhang Changshou is naturally unhappy, and he still wants to live for a few more years?
Therefore, it is immediately necessary to refute the explanation.
It's just a pity that before Zhang Changshou could speak, the father and son of the You family ran over and tore Zhang Changshou.
"You give my son's life back!!"
"I'm going to avenge my big brother!"
Although he was very pleased with the assistance of the You family's father and son, it was impossible for Gongsun Jian to let Zhang Changshou die in the yamen. After all, the evidence has not yet arrived, if Zhang Changshou dies now, it will definitely be a lifetime of turmoil.
In fact, before Gongsun Jian could speak, Wang Hui over there had already sent officials to stop the You family's father and son.
After all, the case has just shown some signs, and even the murderer has been locked, so he naturally doesn't want any accidents.
"My lord, the little one really didn't kill anyone, please be aware of it!" As soon as the people separated, Zhang Changshou hurriedly defended Gongsun Jian with a sad face.
At this time, Zhang Changshou didn't dare to call himself a little old man, and directly called him small, it seems that Zhang Changshou has begun to be afraid.
It's a pity that it's useless for him to be afraid, and Gongsun Jian can't let him go at all.
So he asked coldly: "Zhang Changshou, where are you hiding Lei Gongteng?" ”
As long as Lei Gongteng finds it, then Zhang Changshou, who no longer dares to sit down in the middle of the lobby, will be difficult to argue.
"Adult, the little one really didn't kill anyone!! Q: I was just in a hurry. Zhang Changshou continued to argue.
People are life-conscious, and he is no exception, as long as there is no evidence, he can live. Therefore, Zhang Changshou did not dare to expose his tone at all.
It's just that since the flaws have been exposed, Gongsun Jian naturally won't give up easily.
So he sneered directly: "Zhang Changshou, if you were in a hurry just now, then why did you know that You Jing died of Thunder Fordii?" ”
I don't know what Zhang Changshou below thinks, seeing Gongsun Jian asking this question, he thought that Gongsun Jian had been cheating him all along.
So, he quickly explained: "My lord, I guessed, but in fact, I don't know the cause of You Jing's death. ”
Looking at Gongsun Jian's interrogative eyes, Zhang Changshou was afraid that his answer would not be thorough, so he hurriedly said: "My lord, this is true, after all, the secrecy of my Da Zhou official is still very strong. ”
In the end, Zhang Changshou, who was still scolding the officials of the Great Zhou just now, praised it shamelessly.
In this regard, Gongsun Jian can understand, after all, in front of life, people can lose any face.
However, understanding is understanding, the case should still be handled, not to mention that if you want to return to the capital, then you need political performance points.
The Zhang Changshou in front of him is a living political achievement point, although he is a little older, but Gongsun Jian will not dislike it.
"Zhang Changshou, why did you kill You Jing just by saying a word, is the relationship between you villagers so thin?" Gongsun Jian ignored Zhang Changshou's defense, and continued to inquire about the cause of the case that made him very curious.
After all, because it is difficult to travel in Dazhou, few people will give their own one-third of an acre.
Compared with the neighbor relationship in Gongsun Jian's previous life, even if there is some small friction between Zhang Changshou and You Jing, they can't directly poison people!
Didn't he know that murder was to pay for his life?
Therefore, Gongsun Jian was very suspicious, there should be something hidden in this.
Zhang Changshou on the other side saw that Gongsun Jian ignored his defense, so he didn't say a word directly.
After all, if you talk less, you make fewer mistakes.
He didn't believe that Gongsun Jian could spend his whole life with him.
It's a pity that Zhang Changshou forgot one thing.
That's torture!
Since all suspects can be punished, why can't the person who has been identified as the murderer be punished?
Although Gongsun Jian is not a very conscientious person, he still has the virtue of respecting the old and loving the young.
However, this kind of virtue Gongsun Jian is only for good people, not bad people like Zhang Changshou.
Therefore, with a few sneers, Gongsun Jian looked at Wang Hui beside him.
"Wang County Order, the next thing is to see what you are best at." Gongsun Jian said with a smile.
"What do I do best?" Wang Hui was a little confused.
But then he understood what Gongsun Jian meant, and hurriedly clenched his fists to receive his life.
Immediately, he arranged for the officials to take out several torture instruments from the torture room in the yamen.
Seeing this, everyone who was still puzzled just now finally understood Gongsun Jian's plan.
Unlike Gu Qing and others who watched the excitement with a smile, Zhang Changshou, as the owner of the matter, was not so optimistic.
As the torture instrument landed, Zhang Changshou's heart also beat violently, and then his legs weakened and he knelt directly on the ground.
However, at this time, there was no one to help him up, after all, various circumstances have shown that this old man, who seems to have weak limbs, is the murderer.
It is precisely because of this that whether it is the officials in the yamen or the people outside the door, the eyes that look at Zhang Changshou are with obvious contempt.
The reason why the officials in the yamen despise him is because the impatience of the county order in the past month has also affected them, and they have not had a good time, so they not only despise Zhang Changshou, the murderer, but also have resentment.
As for the few people outside the yamen, the reason why they despise Zhang Changshou is very simple.
After all, Zhang Changshou's shouting just now almost made them come to support.
Now that things have made it clear that Zhang Changshou is the murderer, didn't his behavior just now just now just want to pit their money?
Therefore, the people, who still value money for the time being, naturally despise Zhang Changshou, the person who almost made them suffer.
Zhang Changshou, who was already kneeling on the ground, had long lost the shame of being despised in his mind, and at this time he had only one purpose in mind, that is, to live.
Only by begging Gongsun Jian to spare himself can he survive.
What is somewhat sad is that even though Zhang Changshou's crime has been established, he still doesn't know the name of Gongsun Jian, the adult who handled the case, at this time.
It can only be said that Gongsun Jian values the result of handling the case more than the process.
After all, there are so many cases in the world, even if he needs political performance points, he can't see it, and the only thing he needs to do is to find out the murderer in a way that seems reasonable to outsiders, and then close the case quickly.
Offstage, Zhang Changshou watched the torture instrument get closer and closer, and was so frightened that he even stood up and rushed to Gongsun Jian directly.
Of course, he didn't do it to assassinate, but to plead.
But because the action was very similar to an assassination, Zhang Changshou had just run two steps when he was stopped by the fast-eyed officer.
"My lord, please spare the little one, I want to live for a few more years!" Zhang Changshou shouted heartbreakingly.
On the stage, hearing Zhang Changshou shouting, Gongsun Jian shook his head contemptuously at him.
Immediately, a sentence directly blocked him and wanted to continue to plead.
"You want to live?" Gongsun Jian sneered disdainfully, and then shouted at him loudly: "That You Jing also wants to live, have you given him a chance?" ”
Gongsun Jian's words directly made Zhang Changshou, who was being held by the officials below, speechless.
Because what Gongsun Jian said was right, You Jing was only in his early forties, but did Zhang Changshou let him go?
twitched the corners of his mouth a few times, Zhang Changshou wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth after all.
On the side, seeing that Zhang Changshou was already under control, Wang Hui finally gave the order.
first saluted Gongsun Jian, and then ordered the official holding the torture instrument below with a straight face: "Move!" ”
"Yes!" The officials didn't have any extra words, so they directly clenched their fists and took the order, and began to torture Zhang Changshou.
Looking at Zhang Changshou, who was still tied to the pillar, Gongsun Jian understood that he was still thinking about You Jing.
With a few screams after the torture, Zhang Changshou finally came back to his senses.
"My lord, I'll recruit you, I'll recruit them all." Zhang Changshou shouted.
Although it is said that the functional response of the old body is relatively slow, these torture instruments have been passed down for thousands of years after all, so Zhang Changshou couldn't bear it at all, and tears flowed down all of a sudden.
Because it was to help solve the case, Gongsun Jian did not ask Gu Qing to record the confession, besides, now Gu Qing is no longer a master, so naturally he can't do this kind of thing.
However, Gongsun Jian didn't move, but Wang Hui began to pick up paper and pen to write.
The reason why he did not let his master write the confession was not only because Wang Hui himself attached more importance to this case, but also because he expressed to Gongsun Jian that he was very active and capable, and hoped that after being transferred to the county in the future, Gongsun Jian would be able to help one or two.
