Chapter 90: People do their best

"Alas, now that I'm in prison, I don't know if I'll have the opportunity to cook a meal of mutton for Lord Du Lieutenant again."

"The world is unpredictable, who can explain many things clearly, in my opinion, it mainly depends on your own performance, can you explain your problems to us clearly?"

"Okay, Lord Du Wei is a cheerful person at first glance, what do you want to know, I know everything, I say everything, I swear by my dead father, what I say will not be mixed with a lie."

"Okay, actually, I already have a pretty good grasp of the situation of the bandits in Hongchiling, and the next thing is to simply verify it."

"In addition to the soldiers who were forced to shoot in the capture of Guangwu County, tell me about your deliberate and indiscriminate killing of people!"

"As far as I know, this situation has not happened, if Lord Duwei doesn't believe me, you can send someone to Guangwu County to investigate a few rich families we robbed by the way after robbing the county official warehouse, not only did not hurt a person, but also a few small leaders kidnapped people's daughters, and after we knew it, we sent someone to send it down overnight, you will know these situations as soon as you ask."

"Big viagra, go back and send a few guards to Guangwu County to investigate the situation in the homes of rich families who have been robbed by bandits."

"Okay, Fanzi."

"Almost all the villages around Hongchiling are uninhabited deserted villages, is this your credit?"

"You can also say that, but the situation is different from what you imagined, the village was not slaughtered by us, but more than ten years ago, when we first wanted to go up the mountain, all the surrounding villages and our village were harassed by Khitan bandits, bandits, and routs and had no way to live.

"How can I confirm what you're saying?"

"When I hadn't entered here two days ago, I saw that one day many old people, women, and children from the mountain had been escorted in, and I knew that the mountain had also been broken by you."

Speaking of this, he sighed softly and continued, "You can ask those elderly people one by one, which village their original home is in, and when you have asked all the questions, I guess you will believe what I say." ”

Liu Fan turned around and said to Geng Dawei, "Big Viagra, you went over and told Xie Lvshuai to add a message to everyone's questioning, 'Where were you from before going up the mountain, and how is the village now?' ’”

"Oh, I'll go."

Hearing Geng Dawei walk out of the recidivism area, Liu Fan said in a low voice, "Don't worry, your sister and two younger brothers are now in Yihong Courtyard, and there are more than 30 people who have escaped from the encirclement and suppression of the official army with your eldest brother, and when your problem is verified clearly, I will find a way to save you, and then slowly find a chance to get out of this prison, but the premise is that you have not done those hurtful things." ”

Although Qiu Lei had already guessed that his sister had entrusted this person to pass the word to him, but at this time, when he heard that the eldest brother and more than thirty old brothers were safe, his excited face was a little deformed, and he said in a trembling voice, "That's good, they are safe, and my heart will be put in my chest, Liu Duwei, thank you for your kindness, if you can get out of this prison, the lives of our four brothers and sisters will be handed over to you in the future, even if we have a grass ring, we will also hold this kindness." ”

"I'll talk about some things later, but this is not the time to get excited."

After Liu Fan finished speaking, the two had already heard footsteps in the corridor, and Geng Dawei walked in a moment later.

Seeing that Qiu Lei's face had returned to a calm appearance, Liu Fan said again, "There is another question, although recently under the joint attack of the official army, several bandits have been eliminated, and some small bandits saw that the Hongchiling bandits, the number one in the northwest, were exterminated by the official army, and immediately chose to surrender to the local government, but as far as I know, if you calculate carefully, there are still more than a dozen bandits still doing evil, if you are released from prison and cooperate with the official army to exterminate these bandits, how much role can you play?" ”

"I can't assess how much of a role I can play, but I have dealings with several notorious bandits, and if I can be given a chance, I will do everything I can to get them to vote, and I also know a little bit about the other bandits who are doing all kinds of evil, and maybe I can play a little role when the officers and soldiers destroy them."

"Okay, I also hope that during this time, you can deeply repent of your crimes and reform with peace of mind, as long as the situation you said today is verified by us afterwards, there is no problem, and your sentencing will also be carefully considered."

"Please rest assured, if you can give me a chance, I would like to be your pawn and follow you to eliminate those heinous bandits and even Khitan bandits."

On the afternoon of the seventh day after Liu Fan and his entourage went to Liangzhou Prison for interrogation, four guards sent by Geng Dawei to Guangwu County quickly delivered the results of the inquiry to the Daxue field outside the city.

Due to the hurry, when Lian Dawei took the guards to the conference hall where Liu Fan and a few people worked on the campus, the four guards were so tired that they couldn't even stand on their feet, Liu Fan asked someone to lead the four people to rest in the next room first, and asked the fire room to make them a good meal immediately, and then sat down with Geng Dawei to slowly check the evidence brought back by the four people.

The information is very detailed, not only is there a record of the interrogation of the four guards personally accompanied by the county lieutenant of Guangwu County to all the homes of the rich families, but also the materials of the on-the-spot investigation of the robbery site carried out by the county government after Guangwu County was robbed by bandits.

But all the evidence shows that in addition to shooting and killing the officers and soldiers who defended the city during the siege, the bandits robbed in the city and did not kill or injure innocent people at all, and the rich girls who had been kidnapped up the mountain also confirmed to the guards in person that although they were abducted up the mountain, they did not suffer any humiliation or injury during the period, and one of the girls also explained to the guards that listening to the words of those little leaders, they did not dare to do anything to the girls, because they were afraid that they would be punished by the boss after going up the mountain. Therefore, it is necessary to ask the boss Qiu before deciding whether to stay or leave a few girls.

Combined with the interrogation of the captain on duty in the prison and Xie Hao's interrogation records that day, Liu Fan came up with an interrogation conclusion that night with the theme that the Hongchiling bandits went up the mountain to be bandits, and that the bandits had basically not killed innocents indiscriminately for more than ten years, and suggested that the captured personnel should be given punishment measures based on hard labor.

Early the next morning, Liu Fan, Xie Hao, Geng Dawei, and the captain on duty signed and formally submitted the interrogation results to the camp.

All the prisoners were sentenced to prison for a few months to more than ten years, like the elderly, women and children who had never participated in the robbery from the mountain, and the bandits who participated in the previous robberies were generally in prison for more than ten years.

This is very good, you must know that the treatment of prisoners in ancient wars is often very harsh and very simple, basically they are all killed, and the general of Qin killed 400,000 soldiers of Zhao State in a word, and it is really rare to save his life like this.

In addition, the camp also accepted Liu Fan's final suggestion, not to let these prisoners stay in the prison all day and do nothing, that would be a waste of food, the baggage camp arranged and supervised the captured bandits and Khitan prisoners to sew military uniforms in the prison in winter, and in the spring, summer and autumn, they were mainly engaged in out-of-prison labor such as repairing official roads, making full use of these unpaid laborers, and doing their best.

Waiting for the interrogation results to be approved by Xingying, Liu Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief, although he estimated that Xingying would basically agree with his final suggestion, but there was still a trace of worry before the approval, so it would be the best, he basically did not use any unscrupulous means, not only saved the good people in a group of robbers, but also successfully completed Ah Xia's request for help to himself.

For this good result, he decided to treat himself to the time since the day of the winter solstice, and after the training, he called a group of fox friends to Yihong Courtyard to have a good time.
