Chapter 125: The Messenger
(Thank you for the 100 coins reward from l599xl again~)
How could Chen County Commander dare to make decisions in such a big case, and immediately sent someone to report to Governor Li and ask Lord Fuzun to cut it.
Li Rui, the prefect of Jingzhou, also frowned when he learned the news, stroked his beard and ordered the prisoner to be brought to the Jingzhou Mansion, and ordered Chen County to observe.
In fact, he doesn't want to take care of it, but he is the biggest official in Jingzhou City. He doesn't care, but no one cares.
If it were in Wuchang City, this kind of major case would definitely be directly taken over and tried by the Procuratorial Division.
After hearing the order of Lord Fuzun, Chen Xian Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
That's it, that's it.
It seems that the official has the advantages of being an official and a small official, and the case can be brought up at a critical moment, which will give the official a headache.
Chen County Ling Meizizi conveyed the prefect's order to everyone in the hall. A group of people waited for this, and then left the county government and went to the government office.
The county government and the government were not far away, and everyone walked a few hundred steps into the government office.
Li Rui, the prefect of Jingzhou, was promoted to the court, and Chen Fu, the prefect of Jiangling, was jurified.
This formation is really a bit big.
Governor Li was shocked and shouted. The officials under the hall immediately poked the water and fire sticks and shouted mightily.
If ordinary people saw this momentum, they would have fallen to their knees in fright, but what is the identity of the people in the hall? That's the dignified Jinyi Wei Baihu, the son of General Qi.
Governor Li looked at it fixedly, and saw that there was a brocade guard in a flying fish suit in front of him, and he immediately had a plan in his heart.
He smiled and said, "Dare to ask if this is the Duke of Jinyiwei?" β
Qi Baoguo nodded, hugged his fist at Li Rui and said: "In the north town of Weibei Town, Jinyi, I have seen Governor Li. β
It stands to reason that Jinyi Wei Baihu is a military attache and a six-pin, and he should give a big gift when he sees the prefect.
But Qi Baoguo's identity is special, and he also has the title of a hussar general. Although it is a false title, it should not be underestimated. Combined, these two things are not much worse than the prefect.
He hugged his fist at Governor Li, which can be regarded as saving face.
Li Rui listened to Qi Baoguo's self-registration number, and his heart was full of joy. The surname Qi is not common, which makes it easy to think about Qi Zongbing. In addition, Li Rui heard that Qi Zongbing had several sons who served in Jinyiwei, and he concluded that this person was Qi Jiguang's son.
Thinking of this, a smile gradually appeared on Governor Li's face: "Qi Baihu is too polite. Come on, give Qi Baihu a seat. β
Immediately, a small official moved a chair and put it in the hall, and Qi Baoguo also unceremoniously lifted the hem of his robe and sat down.
Governor Li sat in the hall, and it was also interesting for Chen Xianling and Qi Baoguo to sit in the hall.
Qi Ling'er and Ning Xiu didn't have such good treatment. They are not officials and certainly cannot enjoy the treatment of sitting hearings.
However, Ning Xiu is a student, and although he can't sit, he doesn't have to kneel. But Qi Ling'er's daughter's house stood quite conspicuously there.
Governor Li just wanted to scold the bold Diao Nu when she saw why she didn't kneel in this mansion, and the startling wood was already hanging in the air and was about to fall, so at this moment, Qi Baoguo coughed and said: "Under that hall is Qi's little sister Ling'er." Because she also participated in the fight against the Japanese invaders, Qi thought about making her a witness. Lord Prefect, don't you get in the way, right? β
Governor Li said in his heart, can't you say it earlier? If he continues to shoot this shocking wood, he will be in trouble.
"Out of the way, out of the way."
Governor Li smiled all over his face, and slowly put down the shocking wood, and his heart was really dangerous.
Chen Xian Ling under the hall had a relaxed face, brushing his beard leisurely.
With the big Buddha of Governor Li's mansion, he doesn't have to worry.
Governor Li swept all the people in the hall and confirmed that there were no other dignitaries, and then he shook his official authority in a straight voice.
"Someone, mention the defendant Lu Youan!"
Lu Youan has been tied up like a rice dumpling and is waiting outside the hall.
As soon as Governor Li gave the order, the officials lifted him up and dragged him to the hall like a dead dog.
Seeing this, Governor Li couldn't help but be surprised, and asked, "Why is he tied up like this?" β
Qi Baoguo laughed and said: "This guy is restless, Qi is afraid that he will take advantage of the chaos to escape, so he ordered someone to tie him up." β
"I see, I see, I ...... so"
Governor Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva and forced a smile.
"The people under the hall, but Lu Youan, a native of Jiangling, is in front of him?"
Governor Li didn't dare to offend the Qi family, so he could only sprinkle his anger on Lu Youan.
Lu Youan was already in despair, where was he still in the mood to answer, so he only nodded.
Governor Li suddenly became angry, and said in shock: "Dare to disdain the people, dare to defy the court." Come on, I will drag him to the ground and blame him heavily. β
As soon as the prefect gave an order, the wolf-like servant immediately stepped forward to overwhelm Lu Youan. Because he was tied up with five flowers, he didn't struggle much. The officials pressed the shoulders and pressed the legs, and the pants were picked up, and soon Lu Youan was pressed to the ground by the porcelain and couldn't move, ready to be tortured.
Ten boards is not much, it's just a killing stick.
The officials spat at the foam, clenched the bamboo slabs and opened their bows left and right and beat them fiercely.
Lu Youan was beaten by this beating and cried for his father, but blood oozed from his buttocks.
The official's board is really not blown, Lu Youan can be regarded as having seen it.
Governor Li stroked his beard very proudly and continued to ask: "Lu Youan, this government asks you, do you privately allow the widows to be raised?" What's the picture? β
Just now, the county commander Chen has ordered someone to report the basic situation to Governor Li. Li Rui now only needs to question normally.
"Lord Hui, the grass people are wronged, and the grass people don't know that those people are widows."
Although Lu Youan knew that he would not be able to survive, he would never admit that he had accommodated the Japanese Invaders.
It was a heinous crime, and he admitted that not only would he be executed by Ling Chi, but the whole family would suffer. The light is to confiscate the family property, and the heavy is to behead the whole house.
Therefore, Lu Youan decided to bite the bullet and not let go. In this way, even if he dies, he can save his family.
The moment he learned of Qi Baoguo's identity, Li Rui already had a plan in his heart.
First, he is Zhang Gelao's protΓ©gΓ©, and Zhang Gelao has a close relationship with Qi Zongbing, and he wants to repay Qi for this face.
Second, the children of the Qi family said that Lu You'an would definitely not be fake, and no one hated the widows more than the Qi family.
Of course, the case still has to go through the process of evidence.
After Governor Li finished questioning, the defendant turned to the plaintiff.
"Qi Baihu, do you have any evidence to prove that Lu You'an is a widow?"
Qi Baoguo nodded and said, "Lord Prefect, Qi led the crowd to capture the heads of the eighteen Japanese robbers and seized their swords as proof. β
After that, a veteran of the Qi family army brought the bloody head and the Dongying sword to the lobby.
After all, Li Rui is a civil official, and when he saw the eighteen heads, his stomach suddenly turned over.
After a while, he finally calmed down, cleared his throat and said, "Come on, take a knife and bring it up!" β
Forget about the head, the knife can still be seen.
