Chapter 361: Withdrawal
Although he was speechless for Gu Qing to give him a name for some reason, Gongsun Jian didn't say anything.
After all, judging from the fact that Chen Ren has always wanted to maintain Gu Fugui, even if he has not participated in the things that Gu Fugui has been hiding, other things are absolutely indispensable.
Therefore, he had no opinion at all on Gu Qing's orders.
Lin Changqing, who was on the side, heard Gu Qing's inexplicable words, although he knew that he was commanding blindly, but he didn't stop Gongsun Jian.
His heart suddenly became clear, and then he immediately sent two officials to arrest Chen Ren.
Chen Ren on the side didn't react at first, but when he saw several officials running over to arrest him, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to escape.
He really didn't expect Gongsun Jian to arrest himself, originally he thought that Gongsun Jian was so kind to the people in the past, and he should be a good talker.
But now he understands that the county order is the county order, and no matter how easy it is, the majesty it should have will not be less.
"My lord, the villain was just curious, did you let me go?" After a few officials arrested Chen Ren, he recovered his spirit and hurriedly begged Gongsun Jian for mercy.
It's a pity that if he wasn't a rich and noble person, Gongsun Jian might have taught him a little lesson and let him go.
But now that he understands that he is Gu Fugui and his gang, how could Gongsun Jian let him go so easily.
What's more, now that there is no evidence of what Gu Fugui is concealing, Gongsun Jian feels that he may be able to get something key from Chen Ren.
It is precisely because of this that after Chen Ren was arrested, Gongsun Jian didn't even bother to look at him, and rushed back to the county government directly.
The reason why he didn't go to the prison to interrogate Gu Fugui in person was because Gongsun Jian believed that Lin Changqing would definitely help him solve his worries.
Moreover, Gongsun Jian also believed that this ancient wealth was not so easy to say.
He also needed to find out the clues of the case that Gu Fugui had been hiding from other places.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Jian's heart moved, and he looked at Lao Wu, who followed him back to the county office.
smiled slightly, and said, "Wu Yuanwai, I don't know if Ling Lang can be a personal witness?" ”
Since Lao Wu said just now that Wu Hei and that little flower saw it, Gongsun Jian naturally wanted to find a breakthrough from the two of them.
Hearing Gongsun Jian's words, Lao Wu smiled a little embarrassedly, and then hurriedly said: "My lord, Xiao'er is young after all, and he hasn't seen anything in the world, so don't come forward, right?" ”
The meaning of Lao Wu's words Gongsun Jian understood very well.
He just didn't want his son Wu Hei to be implicated in this matter, after all, if he didn't die by fighting the snake, Wu Hei would suffer at that time.
This can only be said that Lao Wu in front of him still doesn't believe that Gongsun Jian can completely suppress the Gu family.
Thinking of the worries in Lao Wu's heart, Gongsun Jian sighed slightly, he didn't expect that he had handled so many cases, and he still didn't get the trust of the people!
From Lao Wu's thoughts, Gongsun Jian could see the basic thoughts of all the people in the entire Tianyuan County.
They just don't believe that they can really solve the Gu family.
After all, the Gu family has been standing for more than ten years, and in addition to the county order being co-opted, they also have a relationship with the county.
However, Gongsun Jian has no complaints about this.
After all, Lao Wu can expose Gu Fugui today, in addition to the role of the system, he still has some confidence in himself.
I believe that after the Gu family is overthrown, it will definitely be unimpeded in Tianyuan in the future.
It's just that if you want to overthrow the ancient family, you must have the most critical evidence. But now human witnesses cannot come forward, and there is no physical evidence.
For a time, Gongsun Jian was in a predicament.
After Lao Wu left, Gongsun Jian continued to wait in the room for Lin Changqing to take the confession back.
Although he doesn't have much hope, what if there will be a little clue?
It didn't take long for Lin Changqing to come with a lot of evidence.
Seeing this, Gongsun Jian understood that Gu Fugui was definitely afraid of being tortured, so he simply explained the matter.
picked up the confession and looked at it, there was no accident, Gu Fugui did not confess about human trafficking, although the confession on it could make Gu Fugui go in for more than ten years.
But as long as he thought of his relationship in the county, Gongsun Jian understood that it wouldn't be long before someone would come to catch him.
Unless Gongsun Jian can condemn Gu Fugui to death and put him in the death penalty prison in the state, then these incriminating evidence will be useless at all.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Jian was a little worried.
Moreover, at this time, the news of Gu Fugui's family being arrested has already spread, and if nothing else, someone in the county will definitely come down tomorrow.
Therefore, Gongsun Jian must settle the matter tonight and completely let Gu Fugui recognize the big case.
Otherwise, the county will take over, and Gongsun Jian will not be able to handle it.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Lin Changqing, "Lin Zhutou, let's go to the prison in the west of the city, and this time I will personally interrogate Gu Fugui." ”
Hearing Gongsun Jian's words, Lin Changqing understood that he was very dissatisfied with the confession he had gotten.
But there was no way, after all, he couldn't be sure whether what Lao Wu said was true or false, so he didn't dare to be punished for fear of being retaliated against by the Gu family.
After all, Gongsun Jian can leave, but he is still in Tianyuan?
Of course, although Lin Changqing thought so in his heart, he still said respectfully on his face: "Okay lord, I'll go and prepare." ”
In fact, what Lin Changqing didn't know was that Gongsun Jian was not dissatisfied with him at all, after all, even if Lin Changqing was tortured, Gu Fugui would not be able to confess.
And he was going to interrogate Gu Fugui in person, not because he didn't trust him, but because Gongsun Jian wanted to get political performance points.
After all, he wanted Gu Fugui to confess his guilt and surrender to the law, and he couldn't do it more than tonight, otherwise, when someone from the county came, he wouldn't be able to intervene at all.
Not long after Lin Changqing left, Gongsun Jian also took Gu Qing towards the prison in the west of the city.
Perhaps he sensed that Gongsun Jian was very anxious, so this time Gu Qing surprisingly did not come to harass him.
Let Gongsun Jian finally get half a moment of peace.
It is the first time for Gongsun Jian of the Chengxi Prison to come here, after all, since taking office, although the time has not been short, there are not a few cases, and there is no need to come here.
Therefore, today is the first time that Gongsun Jian has come to prison.
As soon as they arrived at the door of the prison, a few arresters hurriedly greeted them.
After all, Lin Changqing had already ordered when he came just now that Gongsun Jian would come over.
"Lord Gongsun, you're here."
"Well, thank you guys." Nodding, Gongsun Jian said with a smile.
"No hard work, no hard work, this is what we should do." One of them quickly said modestly.
Of course, they were able to get praise from the prefectural order, and their faces were filled with happy smiles.
In this regard, Gongsun Jian was quite speechless, after all, what he said just now was just polite, but he didn't expect a few catches to be taken seriously.
Although the Chengxi Prison is a county prison, because there have been fewer criminals in recent years, there are not many people in the entire prison now.
Except for Chen Er, who stole gold, and Chen Ren, who was arrested by Gu Qing just now, all of them were from the Gu family.
It can be said that the prison in the west of the city is a very relaxed place.
It is precisely because of this that Gongsun Jian's hard work just now was just a little polite.
However, since others misunderstood, Gongsun Jian didn't bother to correct it. What's more, if this kind of thing is changed, wouldn't it be chilling?
Those few caught fast and didn't dare to slack off, after all, Lin Changqing had already told Gongsun Jian the purpose of coming just now, so he hurriedly walked out and took Gongsun Jian to the prison.
Perhaps because of the small number of prisoners, the prison was not as messy as Gongsun Jian imagined, and the smell was unpleasant.
On the contrary, perhaps because it was very idle here, a few officials took care of this place in a hurry.
"My lord, the environment in the prison is like this, don't worry about it." At this time, the catcher who led the way in front thought that Gongsun Jian, as a county honor, was indeed wronged when he came to this kind of place.
"How would I care? This prison is much better than I expected. Gongsun Jian smiled and praised him.
The prison wasn't huge, so it didn't take long for a few people to arrive at the torture chamber.
At this time, in addition to Gu Fugui, who was tied up, there were Lin Changqing and another catcher inside.
After seeing Gongsun Jian, he hurriedly greeted him respectfully.
"Your Excellency, you're here." Lin Changqing hurriedly hugged his fists.
"Does this Gu Fugui have any explanation?" Glancing at Gu Fugui, Gongsun Jian asked.
"Gu Fugui is still the same as before, and he didn't explain other useful things." Lin Changqing said with some embarrassment.
Originally, he also thought that he would interrogate Gu Fugui again while Gongsun Jian had not yet come, and let Gu Fugui explain the matter, so that he could ask Gongsun Jian for credit.
But now it seems that he has overthought it.
Gu Fugui didn't admit anything else at all.
At the same time as Gongsun Jian was chatting with Lin Changqing, Gu Fugui also discovered Gongsun Jian.
Hurriedly shouted with a sad face: "Lord Gongsun, Lord Gongsun, I have explained the matter clearly, there is really no conspiracy." ”
For Gu Fugui's expression, Gongsun Jian couldn't tell whether it was true or false, after all, Gu Fugui had been in Tianyuan for more than ten years, and his expression must have changed very skillfully.
However, Gongsun Jian didn't care if he was really about to cry or fake.
Smiling slightly, Gongsun Jian said something that made Gu Fugui over there even more afraid.
"Outside of the Gu Yuan, there are some things that you want to hide are really unnecessary, I advise you to say it quickly, after all, the taste of torture equipment is not pleasant."
"Adult, the villain really has nothing to explain, everything I did has already been said." Gu Fugui over there continued to shout at the top of his voice.
If that matter were exposed, it would be impossible for the people in the county to fish themselves out.
After all, he did it secretly, and the people in the county didn't know about it.
On the contrary, if you just rely on what has been exposed now, although it seems that you need to be imprisoned for more than ten years, but with your confession for so many years, plus it is not a capital crime.
When the time comes, it will be out in a few years at most.
It was precisely because of this that Gu Fugui didn't dare to report that incident at all.
"Outside of the ancient staff, I don't want to talk nonsense with you." Gongsun Jian shook his head at Gu Fugui, and then he looked at Lin Changqing again: "Lin Zhutou, let's be punished." ”
"Yes, sir." Lin Changqing immediately received the order.
He casually looked at the catcher in the room and began to order: "Xiao Liu, move the leather whip." ”
That Xiao Liu had actually walked in front of the torture instrument when Gongsun Jian gave the order, and when he heard Lin Changqing's order, he directly drew the leather whip that had already been soaked in water.
Then he walked towards Gu Fugui with a sneer.
A whip that has been stained with water is several times more painful to whip than a whip that has not been stained with water.
After all, Gu Fugui has lived a rich life for so many years, and he is already thin and weak, if he is tortured, there is a high probability that there will be an accident.
On the contrary, this kind of leather whip, which can make people more painful and not endanger life, is the most suitable for ancient wealth.
Seeing that Xiao Liu was getting closer and closer to the leather whip in his hand, Gu Fugui, who was tied to the wooden frame, began to twist his body nervously.
He used to whip his son with a leather whip, although he was not beaten, but he could also know from his son's expression how much it hurt, not to mention that the leather whip in Xiao Liu's hand was still soaked in water.
