Chapter 203: The Disaster Behind the Tragedy
Yu Zhaofeng was really sad and messed up.
I worked hard at Ma's house for two days and nights, arranged everything properly, and saw that there was no news from the county government for a while, so I ran around to ask the official to complain. According to a few clues that were considered suspicious, he found someone to write a copy and handed it directly to Deputy Zhang Lian.
And Deputy Zhang Lian, who did not investigate, did not visit, and did not ask questions, arrested several suspicious people and locked them up in the temple room and tortured them severely. He also threatened to poke them in the backbone with a red-hot iron rod if they did not give an honest account.
Later, the township chief and several leading figures in the township came forward to guarantee. Only then did they agree to release the two, and the rest continued to be held and tortured.
In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that Deputy Zhang Lian bites so tightly, not sincerely to handle the case, but to take the opportunity to cheat some money.
The township chief had no choice but to secretly report the situation to the county office.
It's strange to say, at this juncture, the loyal and kind farmers of the lower owner, Zhao Changyi, Zhao Changfa brothers, and Wei Cunguang and others, pulled reeds and alfalfa and went to Qitai to sell.
When passing by the Xiaotun Inn for dinner, he talked about the Ma family. It is said that the Ma family has gold and silver, Ahsan gold bars, American gold bars stolen and so on. These words made Yu Zhaofeng's close relatives, Yu Xing hear them. He hurriedly turned back and spoke to Yu Zhaofeng's doctrine.
Yu Zhaofeng decided that since they knew so clearly, it must have something to do with the case!
As a result, Zhao Wei and the three returned from Qitai, and as soon as the carriage and horses were unloaded, they were tied up and hung on a tree by the recruit company, and severely beaten to extract a confession.
The three of them were beaten to the point of crying and crying for their mother, and fainted several times. On the third day, they were sent to the county office.
The police immediately interrogated the three people, but they still refused to confess, and the families of these people cried out for grievances, and complained to the township chief day and night, trying to rescue them.
The township chief knew that the three of them were honest peasants, and they would never dare to do anything too unusual. So, he and several leading figures in the township jointly wrote a petition as a guarantee and found the county office.
The county magistrate Kong is also having a headache for the Ma family's case, because of the large number of deaths in this case and the wide impact, it has caused a sensation in neighboring counties such as Qitai and Fukang. Although the task force has made overt and covert investigations, it still has no clue. The local garrison also intervened in the case at will, arrested people and sentenced them, causing panic in the localities. Invisibly, it has also disrupted the normal order of case handling to some extent.
After learning about the situation in detail from the township chief, the county magistrate agreed to release the people and asked the township chief to bring back an official document prohibiting the troops from interfering in local cases and forward it to Deputy Zhang Lian.
For this reason, Yu Zhaofeng's misunderstanding of the county government was deepened, and when he was dissatisfied, he spread the word that the Kong county government was a yamen for thieves.
It's really a thief, and he didn't get a count. Outside the east gate of Houbaozi Street, there is a small restaurant, which is open as usual during the day, and at night it is both a casino and a smoke house, and the business is booming.
The female landlord is a romantic figure with both talent and appearance. Yang Benzheng, the special agent chief of the recruit company, and her husband Li Huanqing and others are all frequent visitors to her house.
Only a few months after the Ma family case occurred, the recruit company withdrew and disbanded.
One night, the old friend of the female owner of the restaurant, Liu Furong, a county government official, came here for a tryst.
The two of them were addicted to smoking, and they wrapped themselves in the quilt and said nothing. The female landlord inadvertently revealed the truth of the Ma family's murder to Liu.
She showed a comical look, stretched out her foot and rubbed it on Liu Furong's leg, and said in a coquettish voice: "What are you doing for nothing?" The Ma family's case has turned over the years, and there is not even a fart sound. ”
Liu Furong knew in his heart that women had something to say. Quietly, he reached out and pinched the woman's thigh.
pretended to be absent-minded and muttered: "Mixed rice, these years are in chaos, who is willing to really contribute, as long as you are separated from each other, let you accompany you to take a sip, and you will be satisfied." ”
The woman laughed profligately, poked Liu Furong's head with her fingers, and said disdainfully: "Look at your little bit of interest!" ”
After a pause, she turned over smartly, and whispered nervously and mysteriously: "Actually, this matter was done by the three of them, including the spy chief Yang Benzheng and his husband Li Huanqing and Kong Zhaosheng. I saw them show ten gold rings, two packets of golden sand, and gold bars. ”
After a pause, she leaned back lazily and muttered, "Deputy Zhang Lian knows this well. Arresting people is just a show, and deceiving people. ”
Seeing Liu Furong's half-asleep appearance, he didn't say anything, and shrewdly leaned close to his ear, and repeatedly instructed: "Don't show the wind, this is a broken thing." ”
Liu Furong looked indifferent, and muttered: "The recruits even left early, and it was in vain, who still that idle mind." ”
As he spoke, he yawned and fell asleep on his side.
Liu Furong deceived the woman, and early the next morning, he came to the county government to report the details and received the bounty.
After some thought, the county magistrate Kong believed that Liu Furong's news was accurate, and Xiangzi had been suspecting that the case was related to the garrison. Therefore, the county magistrate Kong immediately sent Xiangzi to lead the police to follow this clue to investigate, hoping to give a satisfactory explanation to the deceased and the people.
The hard work paid off, and with the hard work of Xiangzi and others day and night, the locked criminals finally surfaced.
On a full moon night, with the cooperation of Xiaogucheng, Yang Benzheng and Li Huanqing, two murderers with beautiful dreams, were easily pressed on the embroidery bed of the brothel.
It turned out that after the disbandment of the recruit company, Li Huanqing and the three of them bought a batch of goods in Qitai and transported them to Hami for business. So, Li Huanqing and Yang Benzheng were responsible for handling the goods, and Kong Zhaosheng took some of the money and went to Hami to buy a shop first.
Who knows, Kong Zhaosheng is a thoughtful person, he saw that Yang and Li had money, and the problems of eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling became more and more unrestrained. Knowing that something was going to happen sooner or later. So he took the opportunity of Hami to smear oil under his feet.
In this case, after the preliminary trial by the Fuyuan County Government, the Qitai Military Justice Department made a judgment and brought Yang and Li to justice on the spot in Fuyuan County.
The ancients said that misfortune comes from the mouth, and it is true. It stands to reason that if the murderer is brought to justice and some of his property is recovered, this matter will be successfully over. But it was Yu Zhaofeng who scolded the county government for being a thief's yamen. Therefore, the extraneous branches caused an uproar.
There are a few people in the county government who have small stomachs, and secretly sent Yang Shenglin and others to the county government, and said: "Now that the case is round, you should also take revenge." It's up to you how you do it. and so on.
This group of people got the hint from the county government and knew it in their hearts. So, with a sense of anger, he went straight to the back fort.
Coincidentally, these people and Yu Zhaofeng met at the intersection of Houbaozi Street. A group of people, without saying a word, snatched Yu Zhaofeng's horse, and beat them up endlessly. The onlookers stepped forward to say and persuade, and Yu Zhaofeng took the opportunity to escape.
But the matter did not end there, the Yang family brothers tangled a group of people and broke into the Yu family with great momentum. smashed the objects in the house, causing a disturbance to the family, panicking and restless. Before that, more than 100 sheep of the Yu family were driven away.
The gang didn't stop there. They spent all day eating and living in the Yu family, insulting the Yu family, and even pooping and peeing on the kang.
The people of the Yu family hid in Tibet all day long, leaving only their mother, and served them in a silent voice.
Two days have passed, and the gang still does not leave, causing the Yu family to be paralyzed. Yu Zhaofeng had no choice but to beg people everywhere to help make peace. After this back and forth, the news reached the ears of County Magistrate Kong.
In a fit of rage, he brought in a few people who were provoked by the county government, gave him a reprimand, and sent Wang Yunzhong, the chief of the civil affairs section, to Houbaozi to mediate the dispute. He also gave two suggestions for dealing with the situation: Yu Zhaofeng caught the wind and caught the shadows, did not follow the normal procedures, reported the situation to the county government in a timely manner, and handed it over to the garrison to be lynched. Where physical or mental harm is caused to the victim, an apology shall be made to the victim and forgiveness shall be requested; As a result of the course of the incident, certain economic losses have been caused to the victim's family, and compensation should be given as appropriate.
After some mediation and peace by Section Chief Wang, Yu Zhaofeng also sincerely apologized, apologized, and compensated the people involved one by one, and the turmoil was calmed down.
Yu Zhaofeng regretted this too much. I couldn't think of my momentary dissatisfaction with the whining words, and almost ruined the Yu family.
County Magistrate Kong is feeling a sense of relief for the successful conclusion of the Ma family's case.
After a rush of earth, two mysterious figures got out of the black car and dragged him into the abyss of pain and irritation.
