Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Great Destruction of the Thieves
I have to say that the results of this battle are gratifying and the results are extremely rich.
Counting the time when Zhang Mingyuan annihilated the enemy alone, a total of 56 Japanese (purebred Japanese soldiers) were exterminated, 20 people were captured alive, and by the way, one county servant and one little minion were killed.
The matter has come to this point, and the matter of Wu Caozhi's communication with the widow cannot but communicate with Liu Dongbo, the magistrate.
In the front hall of the county ya, Liu Dongbo, Du Wenming, father and son, and Zhang Mingyuan sat in a group, but there was no noisy and lively scene in the past, and there was silence at the moment.
In today's deliberations, the magistrate rarely made his own claims and did not inform Wu Caozhi and Wang Xuan.
At the beginning of the discussion, Mr. Du briefly informed Liu Dongbo of the incident, and then, Zhang Mingyuan made every effort to show the pros and cons of the incident with his tongue, which is still not rotten, and told the seriousness of the incident.
Zhang Mingyuan had to do this, because it might involve the great cause of resisting the Japanese, and he had to deal with it carefully, so when he opened his mouth, he tried his best to explain the seriousness of the Tongyu incident and the serious consequences that it might bring to the magistrate.
has paved a lot, just to lay a solid psychological deterrent foundation for the follow-up interrogation work, and at the same time, I also hope to see the adverse reactions of the magistrate, and then pave the way for the plan that has been planned in my heart.
Sure enough, Zhang Mingyuan's statement has not yet ended, and the magistrate is not calm enough.........
Liu Dongbo, the magistrate in a big green official robe, was pale, and he was paralyzed inch by inch, inch by inch, and inch by inch as if he was in a vegetative state..... In the end, he collapsed on the seat and wrote a chubby 'Beijing Lying', trembling all over, and because of excessive tension, layers of dense sweat continued to seep out from under the epidermis, and after a short time he was covered with sweat, and the breath rose from the knotted bun on the top of his head, and with his white and round face, it was like a big steamed bun that had just come out of the pot.
It is no wonder that the county is afraid of thinking carefully, as the head of a county, his subordinates have committed the great crime of complication, if they are known by the supervising imperial historians, with their three-inch tongue, they can spit out the power of lotus flowers, and they can definitely put you to death and come to life; Even if the investigation after the fact can prove that you have no feelings for the sake, you will not be able to run away from the responsibility of neglecting supervision and discipline, and if you don't die, you have to peel off the skin, at least the loss of office and dismissal are certain. It may also be that the eighteenth generation of ancestors of the whole family will be mercilessly cursed to the next eighteen generations of descendants, especially the female ancestors will definitely be taken care of by tragic words.
At this time, it is also conceivable that the magistrate appeared in this appearance.
To tell the truth, Zhang Mingyuan is a little despised for the way of being an official and a person in the county, and he can't act impartially as an official, so he has to pass the buck and be tactful, without making any self-assertions, which is of no benefit to the country, the people and friends.
Zhang Mingyuan suddenly felt a little speechless, and couldn't understand why God had to send him to the Ming Dynasty on business? He complained, and in the end, 'what came was what he was'. Who would have thought that he had just come across such a major event that could pierce the sky, and he didn't like complicated affairs by nature, so he had to consider the historical process, is this 'the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first grind their .........'?
The brain is very messy, and the knowledge is limited, so I don't know if this poem can be matched.
I remember that when I read "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" in my previous life, I didn't see a record of the Tongwa incident? Hu Zongxian seems to ........
must have traveled to a parallel world, otherwise such a strange thing would have happened.
The brain is really messed up.
...............
"I don't know..... What do you have to do? Need to ......" Liu Dongbo, the magistrate, finally said the first sentence tremblingly.
The deterrent effect was obvious, and before Liu Dongbo finished speaking, Zhang Mingyuan got up, turned, and gave up his hands in one go, and said lightly: "Interrogate Wu Caozhi and investigate the Tongwei incident in detail." ”
Liu Dongbo seemed to have aged a lot in a moment, his life's energy had been squeezed out, his face was haggard, pale as gold paper, he waved his hands weakly, and sighed hoarsely: "There are three people, but everything is handled by the three people, and the official knows nothing." After a pause, he sighed again: "The old man is old, it's time to say goodbye to his hometown." With that, he stood up tremblingly, staggered to the inner room, and went to play the old paperwork.
These few words seem to have exhausted his life's strength, making him look even older.
'Ignorance' is quite similar to 'I don't know anything' in his previous life, and Zhang Mingyuan is even more speechless about the most customary and common way of passing the buck in his previous life and in this life.
However, the matter has been resolved, and the next step is to go through the interrogation level.
.....................
In order to increase secrecy and control the scope of insiders, the work of interrogating Wu Caozhi fell on Zhang Mingyuan, Du's father and son, and Hanpi.
But the interrogation did not go very smoothly...........
A remote, sealed basement served as the scene of the interrogation.
"Old man Du, you are too much, what crime did I commit, old man? How can the dignified court officials allow you to be illegally detained, is there any royal law in the Ming court? Wu Caozhi, who was unceremoniously stripped of his official uniform by Hanpi, arrogantly resisted the upcoming interrogation with a soaring anger.
Old Man Du slapped the shocked wood on the table and shouted: "Wu Caozhi, what crime have you committed, don't you know?" Still not from the truth? "Old Man Du, who has conclusive evidence, is full of confidence, and the anger that he has been holding back for several years finally broke out, and he is confident that he will pull Wu Caozhi off the horse today.
Zhang Mingyuan was a little helpless, why did ancient cases like to smash the table with shocking wood, is it to show the presence of the judge? What's the matter? Directly Haibian was beaten, and the facts of the case were clear, and the evidence was correctly chiseled.
It's better to be interrogated by special forces! All kinds of epoch-making interrogation equipment are available to ensure that the interrogated person does not last more than a minute.
What's more, as a rigid and honorable Ming official, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, how can he be knocked down by Jingtang with a few cruel words? What's more, this is still a private business. You have to settle for a strategy and fight psychological warfare.
He expressed contempt for the one-sided interrogation.
"Joke, the old man acts above board and has an upright life, how can you, an old horseman, slander him?" Wu Caozhi sneered.
Although he was ashamed to say it, Wu Caozhi's heart was broken. After spending two days in anxiety, he found that no one came to the door, and the big stone in his heart was half lowered. I wanted to find someone to inquire again, but I suddenly found that my henchman Liu Si was gone, and suddenly, a strong sense of guilt came to my heart, and I planned to decorate it softly, and run away with the old and the young. When he was nervous about packing up his things at home, he suddenly received a call from the county magistrate to ask him to go to the county government to discuss the handling of the Japanese affairs, and an ominous premonition was born.
It is clear that today is not an auspicious day for his zodiac.
The moment he walked into the basement of the county office, he regretted it, the government officials who could be seen everywhere in the past were gone, but they were replaced by black and strong black Africans, and Liu Dongbo, the county magistrate, was nowhere to be seen.
Facing a few pairs of not very friendly eyes, he sat down calmly.
