Text Chapter 48 The people in Linqu City are in turmoil 5

According to the beggar's meaning, he caught Mingxiong and killed him directly without asking the reason, but the county Yin Xinlin suggested that he should deal with it after the trial.

"My lord, whether Ming Baihu participated in the rebellion is completely what the informant said, that Shui Bo was not directly involved in inciting Ming Baihu to rebel, he was just conspiring to confuse his nephew to secretly communicate with the news. Only by arresting Ming Shijie, confronting Mingxiong, and drawing a charge after the two parties admit it, can it be conclusive. Moreover, Ming Baihu has a reputation in the city and in the army, and if he is rashly disposed of, it is easy to provoke incidents! ”

After thinking about it again, the beggar decided to adopt the suggestion of the county Yin, interrogate Mingxiong first, and wait for the confession, and the subsequent disposition will naturally be logical.

County Yin Xie Lin naturally obeyed the arrangement of the beggar, and after the two arranged to stop, they went to the prison to interrogate Mingxiong without mentioning it. According to the conventions and temperament of the beggars, it is inevitable that Mingxiong's flesh and skin will suffer.

At this time, Sun Xing and Ming Shijie were discussing in the inn. Today, they wanted to try to connect with their companions outside the city, but the city defense was very strict, and they couldn't go out of the city to talk, so they barely looked at each other from a distance through the city gate and the guards, so that the people outside the city knew that Sun Xing and the others were still safe.

"The adults have been scheduled to hide and wait outside tonight, looking at this day, it is estimated that the people and horses are already on the way, and now Ming Baihu is detained in prison, without him to do internal response, it is not enough to rely on our own strength. Since Mingxiong is a character, he was imprisoned by the dog official because we were implicated, and we must not sit idly by! I intend to take the opportunity to rob the prison tonight, bring it to the army, summon its soldiers to respond, and then attack the south gate together, what do you think? ”

"According to what the adults said, I have a familiar companion in the county prison, the fourth uncle was arrested, and it is estimated that the interrogation will be indispensable tonight, and the guards in the prison must be vigilant. I first went to contact my old acquaintances, and then agreed to start an incident when I had the internal response in prison. The adults can gather everyone here to prepare now, Yan Wei has already contacted more than ten people who are fighting, so he might as well let him gather everyone to meet here, and when I get the news of the county prison, I will discuss with the adults how to act together. ”

"Yes, you have to be careful when you go, and if you don't have too much certainty, don't contact you."

"No!" Ming Shijie turned and went. Sun Xing gathered his subordinates to assign tasks without mentioning it.

The night falls, the evening breeze blows, and the coolness is blowing. The trees beside the streets and alleys make a rustling sound as their leaves toggle up and down in the night wind. Because of the curfew, the streets and alleys are empty, only the patrolling volunteers and yacha and so on wandering around the streets, in recent days there are rumors in the city that there are thieves and bandits outside, every house is closed at night, if in normal times many people have fallen asleep at this time, now the rumors are full of rumors, the people are uneasy, many houses are still lit by candles, I don't know how many people are whispering in the house, worried about thieves attacking the city.

The hour had passed, and a man in the alley had beaten his bang, and after turning a few main streets weakly, he dozed off, wrapped up his shabby clothes, and went back to his room to rest for a while.

Many black figures suddenly appeared outside the county prison, and quietly slipped to the root of the outer wall, and the group squatted by the wall in turn, carefully looking at the small closed side door at the corner of the wall in front of them.

The county jail is a separate compound located on the right side of the county office, and there is an alley about five steps wide between the two large courtyards, with two side doors diagonally facing each other, so that the officials can easily enter and exit the two areas. Similarly, it is convenient for prisoners to be brought to court or to prison.

According to the news that Ming Shijie just inquired, the interrogation of Mingxiong by Qi'er and County Yin has temporarily ended, and the two have returned to their homes and yamen to rest respectively, leaving only a few jailers to continue to deal with it. Xie Lin and his family stayed in the county office, and the beggar had his own residence.

Mingxiong was detained and soon interrogated by the beggar, with Xie Lin by his side. After questioning for a long time, Mingxiong completely denied his accusation of conspiring against thieves and consecrating the city. Then interrogated Shui Bo for questioning, Shui Bo only admitted that after he was saved in the quarry, he joined the gang and went into the city to contact his nephew, just to find out the movements in the city, and did not go to meet Mingxiong privately, as for who the accomplice was, he did not know.

Shui Bo now regrets it, because he was fast-talking, he mentioned the names of Ming Xiong and Ming Shijie when persuading his nephew, but he didn't expect this nephew to be so filthy, he actually told the secret because of cowardice and greed for bounty. He was a deacon, and he harmed Mingxiong and Mingshijie, and he mistakenly took the city. No matter how the beggar was tempted or tortured, Shui Bo gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, he only hated the beggar so much that he jumped to his feet, and repeatedly punished Shui Bo with sticks and branding. Shui Bo was too weak to endure the pain, and fell into a coma several times, and was woken up by the jailer with cold water, and then interrogated. If it weren't for the fear that Shui Bo would not be able to endure the torture and die, and had to stop the torture at the end, Shui Bo would have died a long time ago!

County Yin Xie Lin then asked the nephew of the Shui Bo clan in detail, but he only came to the conclusion that Shui Bo accidentally said the words of Ming Xiong and Ming Shijie, as for how to do it, whether there were others involved, and what strategies the thieves outside the city had, he didn't ask at all. The beggar was anxious for a while, and neglected to interrogate others again, so he didn't know that a team of relatives from outside the city came to vote for Mingxiong during the day today. Xie Lin did not go back to the yamen to rest because he had been accompanying the beggar, and the yamen guarding the city gate returned to the yamen, because he couldn't see the county Yin for a while, and no one asked him to ask questions, so Xie Lin didn't know about it.

Go back and re-interrogate Mingxiong, who contacted him, where he lives now, Mingxiong should not do anything, how to intimidate him, how to seal the official and make a wish, and even deceive him, Mingxiong is all wronged. The beggar was finally furious, and ordered the big punishment to wait, Mingxiong was also hard, whether it was whipping or clamping sticks, he didn't say a word of begging for mercy, only gritted his teeth and hummed a few times when he couldn't stand it. He didn't pass out directly like Shui Bo in pain, so he suffered a lot.

County Yin Xie Lin saw that the beggar was going to put on chili pepper water, pull out his nails, etc., so he stepped forward to dissuade him, after all, this Mingxiong thief said that there is only one person witness now, or a circumstantial evidence, and there is no strong physical evidence and human evidence, so treat a Han army hundred households, only afraid that the army will not be satisfied, and the people's hearts will be unstable, at this tense moment, in case it is the nephew of the clan who is falsely accused, it is better to leave some bottom lines in the interrogation. The beggar hesitated for a while, but finally did not continue the execution.

In another torture room, the torture of several of Mingxiong's pro-soldiers was also fruitless. These pro-soldiers have a very close relationship with Mingxiong, not to mention that they don't know about it, even if they know, they won't confess.

After several tosses, Beggar and Xie Lin were also tired, seeing that Shui Bo was dying, and Mingxiong did not admit it, Beggar had to hand over the follow-up interrogation to the prison chief, and the two went back to the house to eat and rest first, and then reasoned tomorrow.

According to the county Yin Xie Lin, such a big matter is by no means something that Shui Bo can handle alone, besides, Shui Bo is just to inquire about the news, there must be someone else to contact Mingxiong, now that I think about it, at least Ming Shijie is involved, Mingxiong does not recruit, it is estimated that he does not want to make Ming Shijie and other relatives fall into prison, and he has to find another way.

Frowning, Xie Lin thought about it, in exchange for his henchmen, and asked him to summon Mingxiong's domestic servants and the yacha who patrolled and guarded the city gate today, Xie Lin asked these people one by one, and finally learned that Mingxiong's relatives had moved their families into the city to take refuge during the day. Some yacha recognized that these people were indeed Mingxiong's clansmen, there were nearly ten large carts and small carts, and the number of clansmen and domestic servants was about 30 people, and they were temporarily settled in the inn. The county Yin thought about it for a while, and arranged for his henchmen to disguise themselves and go to the inn to investigate carefully, but he didn't know that it was too late at this time!

When this henchman went to the inn in disguise, Sun Xing and the others had already walked quietly through the streets and alleys under the guidance of Ming Shijie, evaded the patrolling volunteers and yacha, and came to the outside of the county prison wall. Ming Shijie took his head, came to the side door of the courtyard wall, saw that there was no one around, pushed down the door, the door was closed and could not be opened, it seemed that the door latch was inside. Ming Shijie learned a few crow calls, stopped to listen to the movement, and when he saw that there was no response, he learned again. Finally, someone in the courtyard came, and with a "squeak", the small door opened, and a jailer carried a lantern, poked his head out, and recognized the person outside the door as Ming Shijie by the light of the lantern.

"Shijie, are you here?"

"Yes, what's going on in the prison right now?" Ming Shijie asked.

"The old man was weak, he was tortured, he was in a coma several times, and he couldn't stand it anymore, but now he is still awake. Ming Baihu had just been tortured, and several cell bosses were tired, so they ordered wine and meat to eat in it. ”

Ming Shijie dodged to a young man behind him, and Ming Shijie introduced him softly: "My lord, this is my old acquaintance in prison, and it is also my hair child, named Guo Fengrong, nicknamed Xiaobai, this time the news is thanks to him!" ”

"I've seen adults, I've seen all the heroes!" Guo Fengrong stepped forward to salute with his fists, and when he glanced at it, he found that there were dozens of men standing quietly outside, and he couldn't help but take a breath silently.

"Rescue Ming Baihu this time, go back to my family and ask for a great credit for you! Good job, boy! Sun Xing replied and patted Guo Fengrong's shoulder hard, and the strength was so strong that Guo Fengrong almost stumbled.

"You lead the way in front, we will rescue Ming Baihu and Shui Bo as quietly as possible, don't startle the snake!" Sun Xingdao.

"Okay. The little one knows that a few people are going to do big things, and they specially asked for an errand on duty tonight, and invited two tables of banquets, and now there are only a few prison heads eating and drinking inside, and there are two people guarding the gate outside, and the rest are playing indoors, as long as these two places are solved, no one will find out in a short time. Then Guo Fengrong led the way in front, and Sun Xing left six of his men into the courtyard, and quietly ambushed here, and he took Ming Shijie and six or seven people to follow behind.

With the internal response, Sun Xing and the others successfully solved the two guards at the door of the cell, closed the door, closed the latch, dragged the body into the house, and then covered the door. Then the group quietly touched into the cell, first arrived at the felony cell area, several officials in the front room were drunken eating and drinking, the interrogation just now took a long time, several people used a lot of strength and means in front of the beggar adult, but they found nothing on Mingxiong and Shui Bo, feeling a great loss of face, and there was anger in their hearts, and they scolded and scolded from time to time when they drank wine.

Several people drank wine and ate meat, discussing how to continue the punishment after drinking and eating. Listening to the meaning of the county Yin, in any case, he could not damage Mingxiong's body too much, so as not to be difficult to explain in the army in the future, several people have been in prison for a long time as guards and interrogators, and they have a lot of experience in the skills and experience of moving the torture, and after a while, they have figured out several means that are both extremely painful and have no external injuries to the body.

These people were more and more happy to talk inside, and their voices were getting higher and higher, but they didn't know that Ming Shijie and Sun Xing overheard most of them outside, even if Sun Xing had experienced many post-war fights, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he heard such a bad trick. Ming Shijie was already so annoyed that his eyes were about to split, and he looked around that there were no other jailers around, pulled out the dagger on his waist, and rushed into the house first.
