After listening to Wang Dazhi's words, Zhu Hao stood up and said angrily: "Sure enough, it has something to do with this old horseman!" ”

After Zhu Hao said this, he took a deep breath, calmed down the anger in his heart, and then said: "Commander Wang, this king now orders you to go to the political envoy to bring Xiao Jingao over, and this king will personally interrogate!" ”

After Wang Dazhi heard Zhu Hao's words, he hurriedly spoke: "The last general will take the order!" After Wang Dazhi finished speaking, he took a team of people out of the Judicial Department and went straight to the Political Envoy Division.

Zhu Hao watched Wang Dazhi leave, then sighed for a lifetime, sat down slowly, and waited for Xiao Jingao's arrival, since Zhu Hao mastered the two guards and horses in Hangzhou, Zhu Hao has no patience to go around in circles with these Zhejiang officials, he now thinks that whoever is suspicious, he will arrest who first, and then interrogate him, so Wang Dazhi's words just now, can only say that Xiao Jingao is suspected of killing Gao Yuan, but there is no substantial evidence, if Zhu Hao mastered the two guards and horses, he would never do this.

Because once Zhu Hao does this, first of all, no one will cooperate with him, and secondly, it will cause a backlash from these Zhejiang officials, and after these officials rebound, they will definitely use all kinds of methods to drive him out of Hangzhou, but now it is different, there are two guards and horses to escort him, which makes Zhu Hao feel confident in his heart, and he believes that these Zhejiang officials will no longer dare to make any waves. Because in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is estimated to be as vulnerable as a paper tiger.

Not long after Wang Dazhi left, about the time of two incense sticks, Xiao Jingao, the political envoy of Zuobu in Zhejiang, was escorted to the lobby of the Zhejiang Prosecutor.

Zhu Hao looked at Xiao Jingao, whose hair was a little messy, and lost his previous calmness, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart, he sighed, then looked at Xiao Jingao, and said: "Lord Xiao, I didn't expect that this king and you would meet under such circumstances today, Lord Xiao, are you going to explain it yourself?" Or will this king torture you? ”

The purpose of Zhu Hao's sentence is to put psychological pressure on Xiao Jingao in simple torture methods, so as to put psychological pressure on Xiao Jingao and make him tell the truth.

Xiao Jingao, as the political envoy of a province, is naturally not an ordinary person, so after Zhu Hao's words were finished, although Xiao Jingao's image was a little messy, his expression was calm as usual, and he was unmoved, and said lightly: "What does Your Highness want your highness to explain?" What royal law has the lower officials violated, although your Royal Highness is a messenger who was ordered to investigate the case, but you have no basis to detain the political envoy of the lower official in this province, I am afraid that there are some discordant rules, right? The lower officials see that you should rein in the precipice in time, don't be difficult to explain to the saint and the court when the time comes! ”

Zhu Hao watched Xiao Jingao arrive at the hall of Zhejiang's Sentencing Prosecutor, and he was still so stiff-mouthed that he refused to bow his head, so he snorted coldly and said: "Lord Xiao, you are a smart person, and this king doesn't want to go around the bend with you, this king asks you, is this fraud in Zhejiang Township this time, is it planned by you?" Is everything Gao Yuan did at your behest, and does Gao Yuan's death have anything to do with you? ”

After listening to Zhu Hao's series of questions, Xiao Jingao was slightly stunned, and then said in surprise: "Gao Yuan is dead?" How so? Your Highness, you actually executed the envoy of a province without going through the court, what are you going to do, Your Highness? ”

Zhu Hao listened to Xiao Jingao's words, and said secretly in his heart: "What an old horseman, he still bites back at this time, it's really not repaired!" ”

Thinking like this, Zhu Hao wanted to torture Xiao Jingao, but before Zhu Hao's words of torture were exported, Zhu Hao thought that this Xiao Jingao was a political envoy of a province after all, and if he was punished like this, he would inevitably be criticized in the future.

Thinking like this, Zhu Hao suppressed the impulse in his heart, he took a deep breath, and then said: "Lord Xiao, don't act in front of this king, Gao Yuan was obviously killed by you!" You bite this king back, and this king asks you again, did you plan the fraud in Zhejiang's township test this time? Was everything Gao Yuan did before at your behest, and was Gao Yuan killed him? ”

Xiao Jingao listened to Zhu Hao's words, laughed for a while, and then said: "Lord Wang, you want to add to the crime, why don't you excuse it!" The lower official stopped arguing with you, the lower official accepted his fate, you said that the fraud in the Zhejiang Township Test was planned by the lower official! What Gao Yuan did was instructed by the lower officials, and Gao Yuan was killed by the lower officials, Lord Wang, you said that these were all done by the lower officials, then you said yes! Deal with the lower officials as you want, just do what you want! The lower officials have nothing to say! ”

Zhu Hao listened to Xiao Jingao's words, although it sounded like Xiao Jingao had pleaded guilty, but how to listen to it, how to feel, Xiao Jingao did not sincerely admit guilt, but Zhu Hao, who was eager to close the case and return to Beijing, did not think about it carefully, so he said: "Xiao Jingao, since you have already confessed, then draw a charge!" You have saved the pain of flesh and skin, and this king has also saved it, and then I will waste my tongue with you! ”

Saying that, Zhu Hao glanced at the official who made the interrogation record, and then said, "Take it, let him draw it!" ”

The official who made the interrogation record, listening to Zhu Hao's words, hurriedly responded, then got up and took the confession, and came to Xiao Jingao's side, and then said: "Lord Xiao, take a look, if there is no problem, please sign and draw a charge!" ”

Xiao Jingao took the confession into his hand, and then without looking at it, he tore the confession to shreds, and then said: "What nonsense, you are framing this official, and this official will not obey your will even if he dies!" ”

Zhu Hao never thought that Xiao Jingao would come to such a hand, this was completely slapping him in the face, not putting him in his eyes, ** humiliating him nakedly, how could Zhu Hao endure it, he snorted coldly and said angrily: "Come on!" Call me! Beat until he says so! This king wants to see if the board is hard or his mouth is hard! ”

As Zhu Hao finished his angry words, Xiao Jingao was stuck on the ground by the soldiers of the Hangzhou guard who served as the official servant, and then he heard a burst of "Bang!" Syllable! The sound was accompanied by Xiao Jingao's screams.

As the dozen boards went down, blood had oozed from Xiao Jingao's clothes, and Xiao Jingao's screams were much smaller, Zhu Hao was afraid that Xiao Jingao would really be killed, so he raised his hand to signal the executioner and said, "Stop first!" ”

As Zhu Hao's voice fell, the executioner stopped his movements, and Zhu Hao then spoke again: "Lord Xiao, should you think clearly now?" Isn't it time to say something to the king? You say happily that this king will save you from the pain of flesh and skin! ”

Xiao Jingao listened to Zhu Hao's words, took a sip, and then said a little weakly: "I have long heard the ministers of the court say that the king is ruthless, I didn't believe it at first, but today it seems that the rumors are true, there are brothers like you in the saint, and there is a prince like you in the court, which is the misfortune of the country!" Even if you beat me to death today, you won't get a word out of my mouth! Use my Xiao Jingao's death, let the world see your face of believing in the king clearly, what am I afraid of Xiao Jingao's death! ”

Zhu Hao listened to Xiao Jingao's words, and said secretly in his heart: "This old horseman, obviously he is a bad person, and he also splashed Lao Tzu with dirty water, as if Lao Tzu is the traitor who persecuted Zhongliang, what a bastard!" ”

Zhu Hao thought like this in his heart, he couldn't control the anger in his heart, and the whole person lost his mind, he snorted coldly and said angrily: "This king looks at your board, it is light!" Don't you want the world to see the king's face clearly? This king will fulfill you! ”

Zhu Hao said, his hand was shocked, and he said angrily: "Come on, beat this king hard, when will he explain the truth, when will he stop!" ”

As Zhu Hao's words fell, the soldiers of the Hangzhou guard, who acted as the yamen, stepped forward again, rounded their arms, and hit the board heavily on Xiao Jingao's body. Syllable! The voice sounded again in the lobby of the Zhejiang Sentencing Prosecutor, of course, it was also indispensable, accompanied by Xiao Jingao's screams.

The time lasted for less than a stick of incense, Xiao Jingao's neck was crooked, and he stopped screaming, and the soldier of the Hangzhou guard who acted as a servant stepped forward to check, and then opened his mouth to report: "Lord Qiqi, he fainted!" ”

Zhu Hao listened to the soldier's return, frowned slightly, and the anger in his heart gradually disappeared at this moment, seeing that Xiao Jingao was knocked unconscious and did not confess, he couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: "This Xiao Jingao, who has been punished so much, does not confess, is it true that he has wronged him this time?" ”

Zhu Hao had such a question in his heart, so he didn't let people splash water to wake up Xiao Jingao to continue the execution, but said: "Help him down, find someone to treat his injuries, and when he wakes up tomorrow, this king will ask him again, let's retreat!" ”

With Zhu Hao's order issued, two soldiers supported Xiao Jingao and withdrew, and in the lobby of the Zhejiang Prosecution Division, Zhu Hao also turned around and walked out of the Prosecution Division, and went to his own line with a team of guards.

After Zhu Hao returned to Xingyuan, he summoned Li Shoujun, the political envoy of Zhejiang, and asked: "Master Li, you should have heard about Xiao Jingao, this king has always had a good impression of you, this king wants to ask you, according to your understanding of Xiao Jingao, does Zhejiang's township test fraud have anything to do with Xiao Jingao?" ”

Zhu Hao said this, paused, and then spoke again to analyze: "Although this Xiao Jingao does not admit his guilt, but before Gao Yuan died, he really only had contact with Xiao Jingao, and at present, Xiao Jingao is the most likely person to kill Gao Yuan, so if it is Gao Yuan who Xiao Jingao killed, then the person behind the Zhejiang Township test is definitely Xiao Jingao, but why is he so hard-mouthed?" ”
