Chapter Sixty-Eight: Just Outside the Yamen

Today, there is no criminal officer in the government, and the punishment is to raise the point or the prison, but it is not a petty official, and the entire Gyeonggi Road prison can be asked. Mention the Gyeonggi Prison, the official position is not much smaller than Bao Zheng, and for such a high-ranking official, he will not really personally intervene in some small cases. For example, the director of a provincial public security department will not care about a specific homicide case, and the sentence will be the provincial public security director and the provincial procurator general according to the grade.

When the prisoner arrived, Gan Gou'er knelt on the spot, and the huge shackles of twenty or thirty catties were on his body, almost pressing his head and making it difficult for him to lift his head.

"Who's in the hall?" Bao Zheng's serious voice resounded in the lobby.

"The villain Gan Wu has seen Bao Xianggong." Gangouer replied.

"Ganwu? Why are you called Gan Wu again? Bao Zheng asked.

"The villain is Ganwu." The name Gan Gouer was given to him by Gan Qi before his head. Gan Gou'er has always kept it in his heart, and now in this court, he does not forget to tell everyone that his name is Gan Wu, and he is a person with a name and a surname.

Bao Zheng nodded, and asked again: "Nancheng Sifang Cloth Shop, you are guilty of murdering Wang Sheng, can you plead guilty?" ”

"The villain confessed, it was the villain who committed murder in the Sifang cloth shop." Gan Gou'er suddenly became a lot more hardened at this time, he was bullied and looked down upon by people since he was a child, and now everyone knows that he assassinated Wang Sheng, the big boss of the Black Tiger Gang, in front of dozens of people, it seems that today, he is proud and proud, and he has come out of nowhere, as if he is living in vain.

Living, for Gangouer, don't talk about lofty ideals, don't talk about a bright future, what you want for a lifetime is a full meal. I don't know a word, no one cares, even the former Gan Qi, I have never looked at him squarely. Living, for Gangouer, in fact, there is no so-called meaning of life, the former Gangouer, even the most ordinary matter of marrying a wife and having children did not dare to think much. The ancient low-level people were not qualified to talk about these issues.

Therefore, Gan Gou'er has the courage to kill people with a knife, which is somewhat of the meaning of the literati's "death at the end of the day" as the literati say, and I just want to hear everyone mention him Gangou'er, and they all give a thumbs up and say "hero". In this, there are some young people who are enthusiastic about it.

Bao Zheng listened to Gan Gou'er's confession, nodded and said to the magistrate on the side: "And the Venerable Master has physical evidence." ”

The magistrate nodded, and then gestured left and right. The official is probably equal to the secretary general of the municipal party committee, and in terms of power, he also has the meaning of deputy mayor, but in terms of official position, he is regarded as Bao Zheng's official assistant, and his grade is not high, six grades.

The blades of the assailants were placed in front of the head, and then a few men from several of the city's square cloth shops also appeared.

Bao Zheng asked Gan Gouer to identify the murder weapon, and Gan Gou'er identified it correctly. Bao Zheng asked a few witnesses to speak, and it was correct.

The trial of the case was here, and it was about the same, but Bao Zheng looked up left and right, and suddenly asked: "The human and material evidence are all here, do you have anything else to say?" Is there any inside story to be said about this case? ”

Gan Gou'er thought about it when she heard this, and only said one word: "This person should be killed!" ”

Bao Zheng asked again: "Why should you kill?" ”

Gan Gou'er replied: "Yu Bao Xianggong, Wang Sheng is the big boss of the Black Tiger Gang, and the bullying of villains is nothing, but this person oppresses countless people, commits countless traitors, lends usury, forces people to sell their sons, daughters and wives, forces good people to become prostitutes, collects protection fees for good people, and even kills the people. ”

Gan Gou'er's words were obviously taught by someone to say that he even said the literati term "it is difficult to write", which is obviously not something he can say by himself. Nine times out of ten, the people who taught him were He Hai or Zheng Zhonghe. As for the people behind, don't guess, Gan Qi is undoubtedly there.

Bao Zheng nodded when he heard this, but he was not in a hurry to make a statement, but looked left and right.

Sure enough, someone stepped forward, it was the pusher, and he only heard him say: "Nonsense, Wang Sheng is the owner of the Sifang cloth shop in Nancheng, and he is undoubtedly a good businessman, how can he be the traitor in your mouth?" A few guys from the square cloth shop were on the spot and could testify. ”

Bao Zheng was already frowning and looked at this pusher.

The magistrate stepped forward and saluted, and said: "Bao to be controlled, this person kills people in Bianliang City in broad daylight, and it is not easy to frame the deceased." ”

Bao Zheng nodded and asked, "Does Wu Tuiguan know the deceased?" ”

The magistrate waved his hand again and again: "The lower official doesn't know the deceased, but he just thinks that the evidence and material evidence in this case are there, and the murderer can't help but be clever and eloquent, and the lower official can't see it." ”

"Oh, how do you think this case should be decided?" Bao Zheng asked.

Bao Zheng often asked other people's opinions when he was sentenced to punishment, and the magistrate did not doubt him when he heard this, and replied: "The lower official thinks that he should be beheaded according to the law!" ”

Bao Zheng nodded again, looked around the left and right, and asked, "Is anyone willing to defend this murderer?" ”

No one answered.

Bao Zheng looked left and right again and asked, "What about Ganqi?" How did Ganchi not arrive? Didn't he take the lawsuit? What about people? ”

Wu Tuiguan was stunned when he heard this, and he panicked slightly, and asked: "Bao to be made, I don't know which Gan Qi it is?" ”

"Who else can there be, Gan Qi from Ganjia Village, why don't you see him enter the hall?" Bao Zheng asked.

Wu Tuiguan hurriedly said: "Xu is that he forgot the hour, so he didn't arrive." ”

Bao Zheng ignored it, and only said: "Come on, go outside to look for it, and see if this Gan Qi is here." ”

When He Hai, the head of the inspection and arrester in the hall, heard this, he frowned slightly, but he didn't step forward, obviously a little embarrassed, so he signaled to Zheng Zhonghe. Zheng Zhonghe looked up at Bao Zheng, then at Wu Tuiguan, and stepped forward to reply, "Yes!" ”

The things in this hall today, the people who are really clear about the things in this hall are probably He Hai and Zheng Zhonghe.

Bao Zheng saw what he said, and even the officials under the hall seemed to hesitate, and he was even more clear in his heart, and turned his head to look at Wu Tuiguan.

This Wu Tuiguan did not look up at Bao Zheng at this time, but looked at Zheng Zhonghe, who ran out. Gan Qi has not arrived, how can Wu Tuiguan not know? The errands at the door were also arranged by him. Normally, he is in charge of all the big and small affairs of the yamen, and even the arrest of Gangou'er is also brought by him personally, what kind of punishment is just a pretext from him, Gyeonggi and Kaifeng Mansion are not in the same place at all, just to prevent leakage, lest someone go to the ventilated to report the news and let the murderer escape.

In fact, Zheng Zhonghe just glanced at the door, faced Gan Qi, didn't say a word, turned his head and ran back.

Zheng Zhonghe, who entered the lobby again, glanced at the eyes of the pusher, and was also embarrassed, and bowed down: "Return to the package to be made, Nagan Qi ......"

"What is the reason for Ai Ai, Gan Qi has not arrived?" Bao Zheng asked again.

Zheng Zhonghe bowed his head and said, "Gan Qi...... Just outside the yamen. ”

"Call in." Bao Zheng said.
