Chapter 189: Interrogation

I don't know if it's because the person invited by the loyal and brave general to record the crimes of Wu County's order is actually Qiu Chijin, the people are even more relieved, and they have told their grievances one by one.

Since Vice General Xu posted the notice early in the morning, there have been many people in the government office, and it was not until noon that Qiu Chijin finished writing the last piece of paper.

For half a day, he didn't know how many pleadings he had written. The catkins put together the paper-like paper that dried the ink, and actually piled up two thick stacks, not to mention hundreds of sheets!

These are numbers, and they really shocked everyone present. You must know that Wu Futao has really become the county magistrate in less than five years, and he has actually done so many outrageous things!

This is what surprised even Ah Ye, who was hidden in the pearl of the night. Because of this journey, this Wu County Order is definitely the most greedy and courageous one he has ever seen.

As early as when he sent away the first batch of people who came to complain about their grievances, Xiao Chumo sent Vice General Xu to say that he would not officially ascend to the court to try the case until the afternoon, and before that, he would carefully sort out Wu Futao's crimes.

However, there were still many people who did not listen to the persuasion, and after going home for lunch, they came to the gate of the government early to wait.

Xiao Chumo saw that he really couldn't persuade them, and he also understood that Wu Futao could finally get the punishment he deserved, which they had been looking forward to for several years, so he was naturally anxious at this time. So after sorting out those forms in a rough manner, he opened the door of the government office in advance and prepared to deal with the case.

When the prisoners were interrogated in the government office, the people were generally allowed to look at them from a distance. And the prisoner that Xiao Chumo wanted to try this time was the one who was supposed to sit on this main seat, and the people who came to watch almost crowded the gate.

"Come on, bring the criminal Wu Futao up!"

Xiao Chumo sat on the main seat, and Yu Panxi sat beside him. In order, there are Vice General Xu, Qiu Chijin and Liu Wu.

Originally, other officials were allowed to sit in on the trial, and that seat was given to them.

Wu Futao was soon escorted up by several soldiers.

At this moment, the official uniform on his body had already been stripped off, and the gold belt had also been taken off, and he had been replaced with a white prison uniform. After spending a night in the dungeon, he seemed to have lost the pretentious spirit of the past, and his whole body was a little embarrassed.

Xiao Chumo didn't care what he did, he directly slapped the shocked wood, scared the latter back to his senses, and then said: "Wu Futao, as the county magistrate here, not only did you not fulfill your duties as a parent official, but instead ran rampant and did all the evil things in the city!" Can you confess this sin? ”

Wu Futao, who was kneeling on the ground, had been locked up in the dungeon of the government office since last night, and he didn't know anything about Xiao Chumo actually mobilizing the people to come and cry out for grievances. At this moment, as soon as he heard that Xiao Chumo was going to punish him when he came up, he naturally refused to admit it.

"General Mingjian, although the lower officials have not done any earth-shattering good deeds, they have never done anything to defy the king's law and oppress the people!"

Wu Futao shouted loudly while kowtowing a few times to Xiao Chumo, who was sitting upright, as if he had really been wronged.

However, his actions caused the people outside the door to be very dissatisfied. It just so happened that the loyal and brave general was sitting on it, and they didn't have any worries, and they all started scolding, and the content of the scolding was nothing more than blaming the Wu County Order for reversing black and white, and the grievances they had suffered.

If it weren't for the fact that there were several soldiers guarding the gate of the government office, they had been blocking the restless crowd, I was afraid that they would have rushed in directly and beat Wu Futao to death.

Xiao Chumo saw all the reactions of those people, and couldn't help but sink in his heart. How many disasters did this Wu County Commander do on weekdays to cause the people to hate him so much! Even among those people, there are people in their sixties and seventies!

"I see that you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin!"

Ignoring the shouting of the Wu County Order, Xiao Chumo snorted coldly, and then picked up the counted crimes and read them out in person in front of everyone.

"Wu Futao has been in the post of county magistrate for four years and six months. During his tenure, he did not do anything meritorious, but committed various crimes. Among them, there were 102 cases of forcibly seizing land, 24 cases of forcibly robbing people's women, a total of 216 cases of bending the law for personal gain during the trial, 31 lives were lost, and there were hundreds of cases of corruption and bribery! ”

These charges, except for the last embezzlement and bribery, Xiao Chumo sent someone to investigate and interrogate. The rest was all spoken by the people themselves in the morning.

The people standing at the door thought that no matter how confused Wu Xianling was, he couldn't do too many things that hurt the heavens and reason. Until this time, when I heard the loyal and brave general above read it out himself, I was really taken aback by the huge number.

Such a terrible amount can only be done by this corrupt official who has done all the bad things!

All of a sudden, the people, who were already talking about it, opened their mouths and scolded Wu Futao who was kneeling on the ground. It wasn't until Xiao Chumo slapped the shocking wood again that it gradually quieted down.

However, Wu Futao refused to admit it at all, even if his face was already pale with fright when he heard Xiao Chumo's crimes, he still cried out that he was wronged.

"General, can't you listen to slander and be deceived by those villains! I really haven't done any of the things you just said, and I don't know where these charges come from! ”

His set of rhetoric, which reversed black and white, really angered the people outside. If it weren't for the soldiers guarding the door, I am afraid that they would all rush in directly and eat Wu Futao alive!

The crimes he had just seen, Xiao Chumo didn't even want to repeat them in person. Seeing that Wu Futao was still so obsessed, he directly signaled to Vice General Xu on the side, and threw all the hundreds of grievances written by Qiu Chijin in front of him.

"Didn't you say you didn't know where these charges came from? Then keep your dog's eyes open and take a good look! It's full of the wrong things you've done, and even the year and date are clearly marked! ”

Xiao Chumo directly blocked him back with the words that Wu Futao had just used to quibble, before a handsome face, he could be full of frost at this moment, and it was even more indifferent than the thing he had let Wu Futao throw into the dungeon last night.

But the latter refused to give up, and after hearing his words, he thought that he was deliberately deceiving himself, so he hurriedly grabbed the paper scattered on the ground and checked it.

Because even he knows in his heart that if this crime is really implemented, he is afraid that even if he is lucky enough to save his life, there will be no possibility of turning over in this life!
