Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 12 Confession
Yu Dayong, who was standing under the hall, listened to the crackling sound of the board slapping on the person, and watched the tragic situation of several members of the Ji family being beaten and screaming in pain, and unconsciously felt awe of Sun Tu who was standing not far away.
Originally, he was semi-forced by Sun Tu from his home to the county office early this morning to expose the real murderer of the robbery, but he was reluctant to give in, but because of the friendship between the two families and the fact that he was not an opponent of the young man in terms of strength, he had to give in. But now he knew that Sun Tu had already made sufficient preparations, not only did he have conclusive evidence, but he was also sure that the county Yin was forced by the situation to dare to directly torture the Ji family to extract a confession!
You must know that in the past, not to mention the two young masters of the Ji family, even their stewards were also rampant masters in Yuncheng County, when did they suffer so much? And all this is in Sun Tu's calculations, which makes Yu Dayong inevitably feel a little afraid of this Sun Sanlang, who he has known since childhood.
The only thing that made him feel a little uneasy was how Liu Yuan would react to this. You must know that Sun Tuke had said that Liu Yuan's relationship with this case was before, and now he is completely against him, but he has completely offended him, and that is the secretary who has real power in this county.
But at least at this time, Liu Yuan didn't have time to think about revenge for Sun Tu and them who stirred up the situation, he was looking out anxiously, just thinking that Zhu Tong would quickly escort Chao Gai to break the unfavorable situation in front of him. He knew very well that under such torture, the Ji family might not be able to hold on.
It was as if his prayers had worked, and suddenly several people came outside, the first one was Zhu Tong, and behind him was Chao Gai with a calm face. However, after seeing the situation in the hall, Zhu Tong was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should come in at this time to make an errand.
Seeing this, Liu Yuan didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately stepped forward and said: "County Yin, Zhu Dutou has already brought another suspect, Chao Gai, here, and asked County Yin to decide, don't wronged a good person!" ”
Liu Yaochen heard the meaning of his words, and although he was a little dissatisfied, he still spoke: "Let Zhu Tong bring someone in and talk back!" ”
Zhu Tong listened to the order, and then entered the hall, and after saluting, he simply reported the things that Chao Gai brought smoothly to Dongxi Village, and then Liu Zhixian looked at Chao Gai, who also entered the hall, and patted the hall and said: "Chao Gai, this official asks you, the robbery that happened in my county the day before yesterday was done by you and someone?" If you do it, confess it quickly, so that you don't suffer from flesh and skin! ”
Faced with the persecution of the local county order, Chao Gai didn't look panicked, just bowed down and replied: "County Yin Mingjian, the grass people have always kept to themselves, how dare they do such a lawless thing, it is really wronged." ”
"Wronged? Then let me ask you, more than one person has seen you appear in the west of the county seat, not far from the place of the crime, and there are many people around, how can this be explained? You are the Baozheng of Dongxi Village, why did you run to the west for no reason, how can there be such a coincidence in the world? Liu Yuan, who was anxious to relieve the siege, opened his mouth urgently, and at this time, he couldn't care about causing Liu Zhixian's dissatisfaction.
Chao Gai, who had been prepared for a long time, naturally would not be stopped by these words, and immediately said with indignation on his face: "County Yin, Liu Zhisi, this matter is really wronged, and the grass people were framed. On that day, someone in my Dongxi Village was robbed up the mountain by bandits from Hutou Village in Xishangang, and then those thieves sent people to the village to ask for money. As the village's baozheng, the grass people could only bring money to ransom people, but they were detained in the cottage for several days. The grass people still felt strange at the time, but now they understand that it turned out that someone was trying to frame the grass people, and asked the county Yin to redress the grass people! ”
"Is there such a thing?" Liu Yaochen frowned slightly, and said suspiciously.
Chao Gai hurriedly continued: "What the grass people said is true, and there are people in my village who can testify." In addition, Ge Da beside the grass people also discovered a strange thing, there were a few thieves in the tiger head village that day, who were once the bankers of Jijiazhuang......"
As soon as he said this, Liu Yuan's face suddenly turned a little pale, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes, knowing that things were going to be bad. And Liu Zhixian also quickly came back to his senses, if what Chao Gai said was true, I am afraid that he was really blamed.
In fact, as early as after seeing the jade wine vessel found from Jijiazhuang, Liu Yaochen already believed that Ji Yang was the culprit of the robbery, and now with Chao Gai, the matter is becoming clearer. At this time, he found that he didn't know when the board against the Ji family stopped, and he said angrily: "Who told you to stop the torture?" Keep beating me, and dare to be so careful that this official will convict you of an accomplice! ”
Seeing that the county order was really angry, the errand who originally wanted to keep a little affection didn't dare to show mercy anymore, and picked up the big stick again and slapped it towards the exposed buttocks and backs of Ji Fang and the others, and this time the force used was a little heavier than before.
As a result, the Ji family suffered even more, and the already red and swollen skin quickly broke and oozes blood, and screams continued to come out. As the two brothers Ji Fang and Ji Chang, who were born as young masters, He had suffered such hardships, and they soon couldn't support it.
Especially Ji Chang, who was just eighteen years old, he felt that he was afraid that he would die in this hall if he was beaten like this again, and the deep sense of fear had already made him confused, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he shouted loudly: "Don't fight, I'll recruit, I'll recruit ......."
These words lifted the spirits of the people in the hall, and Sun Tu, who had been standing below with his hands tied, also curled the corners of his mouth, and slowly exhaled a breath. He knew that this time his adventure had finally succeeded, and the case of the robbery of Shengchengang could already be qualified.
Under Liu Yaochen's order, several members of the Ji family were brought back to him, and he immediately said with a tiger face: "Say, how did you rob the Birth Gang?" Why do you dare to be so bold? ”
Ji Chang hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Ji Fang glanced at Liu Yuan first and said: "Liu Zhusi, my Ji family has always been kind to you, and there is always no less than 100 yuan of money to be given every year, you can't see death without saving it......" At this time, he was still lucky, hoping that Liu Yuan would come forward to speak.
But after hearing his words, Liu Zhisi's whole face turned iron-blue, and immediately a cruel look was handed to an errand officer beside him, and the person's reaction was also extremely fast, and he immediately slapped Ji Fang's face heavily, and shouted: "A bold criminal, he still dares to talk nonsense in the court!" As he spoke, he was slapped six or seven times, causing him to deviate and fall down, and he couldn't get up for a long time.
Sun Tu saw this scene from afar, and shook his head and chuckled: This young master of the Ji family is really stupid to the extreme, these few words have completely cut off his own way of life.
In fact, Liu Yuan's performance just now has already made anyone with a discerning eye know that he must have an unusual relationship with the Ji family, and maybe he will help him in the future. But now it's different, when Ji Fang puts things that should be hidden in the shadows on the table, Liu Yuan can't make any more moves even if he befriends them again, unless he is not afraid of implicating himself.
Sure enough, in order to clear himself, Liu Yuan at this time couldn't care about his previous attitude and many years of friendship, and immediately glared at Ji Chang and shouted: "Ji Chang, how did your Ji family collude with the thieves in Hutou Village outside the city, and where is your father Ji Yang, you can recruit it quickly." If you refuse to recruit again, my county government has the means to use it on you! As he spoke, he stepped forward murderously, as if he was going to devour the young man in front of him alive.
I don't know if he was frightened by Liu Yuan, or because he saw the miserable appearance of his brother being beaten, Ji Chang's legs weakened, and he knelt down directly, and muttered in his mouth: "I recruited, the one who robbed the Birthday Gang was indeed Du Hu and his gang in Hutou Village, Xishangang, outside the city...... My Ji family is just helping to find out their path. My dad ...... He's in Hutou Village right now......"
"Hu ......" Sun Tu, Song Jiang and Chao Gai all exhaled a breath of turbid air after hearing this confession. With this confession, the case has become an ironclad case, and it will never be turned over again. However, Liu Yaochen, after hearing this statement, his heart sank suddenly, knowing that for himself, the real trouble had just begun.
And a pair of eyes full of resentment were already fixed on Sun Tu's body, it was Liu Yuan......
