Chapter 413: A Shocking Confession
"You took the lead in organizing this pirate attack on the port of Guangzhou?" The interrogation is so direct, and he also told Shanhuo before coming to Heng Gonggong to interrogate that as long as he confesses honestly, then give him a good time, and his son and family property will not be confiscated when he attacks the pirate's lair in the future. This is the confidence of Lai Heng to dare to go to trial, otherwise if this pirate talks nonsense, then the court and his dignity will be gone.
"Yes, I did it by my brothers who crossed the wildfires and organized the sea." The mountain fire arched to the surrounding people: "I'm sorry big guy." ”
Seeing a pirate leader say sorry to himself, the surrounding people and Hu merchants have said that they will see each other for a long time. However, the next thing that the mountain fire said was that a thunderbolt blew up the port of Guangzhou: "We pirates basically eat at sea, and we generally don't do anything about landing, but this time we were entrusted to come to Guangzhou Port to do a big thing, and robbing the port is just a reward given to us, not a brother, I want to come." ”
The faces of the officials of the Guangzhou Prefecture who were listening to this sentence changed greatly, and their eyes immediately searched the crowd, and sure enough, many people had already begun to walk out and pass the news on to their families.
The people and the Hu merchants were also shocked, but they knew that there must be an inside story in the robbery of Guangzhou Port, and this mountain fire was a pirate leader, is what such a person said credible? Could it be that he deliberately sowed discord?
"My lord, this pirate leader is talking nonsense, do you want to stop him?" An official who was watching gave advice to Laiheng.
Lai Heng looked at him with a smile: "You know it's nonsense before he says it, do you know something?" ”
As soon as Lai Heng said this, the official immediately shut up, and the current situation can be seen that the city boss wants to make trouble, and he must not send the handle.
Everyone pricked up their ears and heard where the mountain fire was: "Our brothers at sea have long looked down on life and death, but I made a mistake this time, and I was arrested with my brothers. ”
Lai Heng had already asked people to teach Shanhuo how to explain this matter clearly, so they put all the pots on the Gu family's heads. From the Gu family's dissatisfaction with His Majesty's tax collection policy to the personal grudge against Li Dongsheng, the envoy of the city, in the early stage, they planned this operation and used the wealth of Guangzhou Port as a reward to ask the pirates to kill Li Dongsheng, so that they could stay out of the matter.
When this scene was told, the people and Hu merchants who listened to it were furious, and they thought it was an accident, but who knew that it was a man-made disaster. Using his own goods as a reward to kill officials, this Gu family's good calculation is really too vicious.
"This is just your side of the story, do you have any proof?" As the presiding judge, Lai Heng of course has to handle the case into an ironclad case.
"General Hui, of course there is evidence." Guoshan Huo took out a scroll from his arms: "This is the hydrological map of Guangzhou Port that the Gu family dedicated to me." It is with it that we can get in and out of the port quickly. ”
"Shhhhhh The hydrographic map is the core secret of the port, and if there is such a thing in the hands of pirates, his words can be trusted.
"Maybe you put this picture on your body in a premeditated way, a pirate leader makes you want to splash sewage and dream! What evidence do you have to say that this picture was given to you by our Gu family. A young scholar came out to refute, and then said to Lai Heng: "General, pirates have always been shameless and despicable, and they can do anything in order to survive, this is a slander against my Gu family, please general!" ”
"I know that you families will change hexagrams, but fortunately I have the last hand!" Guoshanhuo said: "The Gu family has a person named Gu Zhang, many people know it, this time he talked to me on behalf of the Gu family, he was captured with me when he was besieged by the sailor." If you don't believe me, you can ask him to come out and interrogate him. ”
When Gu Zhang was escorted in front of Lai Heng in front of everyone, his heart was like ashes. This time the matter was so big that it was completely beyond the limit of his own imagination, and now that he was interrogated in front of so many people, he felt really embarrassed, and his family would definitely punish him in the future, and he would no longer have any status in the family.
"It's really Gu Zhang!"
"Hell, colluding with pirates and robbing the port, the Gu family will be peeled off if they don't die this time."
"Hmph, let me lose so much, just peel off the skin? It's too cheap for him, right? ”
"That's it, the money I made in the past few years came to naught overnight, and the Gu family will not give us an explanation this time."
The people and the Hu merchants recognized Gu Zhang, and at this time they had no suspicions at all. Guoshan Huo is right, this operation is that the Gu family wanted to kill Li Dongsheng, the envoy of the city, and then led it out, and everyone lost so much, the Gu family really deserves to die.
Lai Heng interrogated Guo Huo and Gu Zhang a few more questions, and when the evidence was conclusive, he immediately made a ruling: "Guo Shanhuo beheaded the public." Gu Zhang was detained and waited for the Criminal Department to decide. All pirates die in 10 draws. ”
As soon as the token was lost, the square was immediately full of people, and the soldiers of the navy had already screened the most heinous guys in the pirates, and now they gave an order to execute these guys immediately.
When Gu Zhang saw such a bloody scene, his legs were weak and he fell to the ground, and then his crotch was hot, and he was scared to pee.
The surrounding people enjoyed watching it, and they could see that the pirates were giving the head, and half of the anger in their hearts was out, but those Hu merchants were not convinced: "The Gu family is so hateful, do you want to mess with their family." ”
"Tell me what to do, brother, I still have a team of more than a dozen bodyguards."
"I also have a dozen of them."
"I have it too."
"Will so many people gathering in the streets be dispersed by the soldiers of the Navy?" The timid guy did not dare to go.
"Afraid of what? We went to the Gu family to find those guys to lose, otherwise what if they ran away? ”
Gu Hao is the descendant of the Gu family, and he is also the executor of the Gu family in this assassination of Li Dongsheng. He is in his early thirties, his face is like a crown of jade, and he usually looks polite, but today his appearance is a little embarrassed: "Gu Zhang, this idiot, why didn't he die immediately when he was caught by the water master, and now the family he is harming is pointed out by Qianfu, he is really a sinner of the family." ”
There was a servant kneeling on the ground: "Young master, hurry up, otherwise the people from the navy will come and they won't be able to leave." ”
"Why should I go? If I go, it means that my Gu family is empty-hearted, and I don't think he, Li Dongsheng, will dare to do anything to me for the confession of a pirate leader? My Gu family is a big family in Jiangnan, so he is not afraid of causing turmoil in Jiangnan? Gu Hao waved his hand and said, "I still have to contact other people's families to see how to cover up this matter." Wait for me to go to Li Dongsheng to talk, anyway, the assassination was not successful, and there is nothing for others, as long as he is given benefits, smart people will no longer be entangled in this matter. ”
