Chapter 1117: Things Get Out of Control
Two soldiers pulled Zhang Duo over. www.. Org stretched his neck, bent his waist, his eyes rolled wildly, and he kept looking around.
Song Hong said expressionlessly: "Zhang Duo, tell me everything you know!" ”
Zhang Duo bowed and said, "Every night, the Taishou Mansion forges ironware, villain...... The villain had heard it several times outside the Taishou Mansion. ”
Song Hong nodded, looked at the old family servant, and asked, "Do you dare to say that Tianyi doesn't have privately made weapons?" ”
The old servant frowned, thought about it carefully, showed a look of sudden realization on his face, waved his hand to Song Hong again and again, and said: "Da Sikong, you misunderstood, there are forging iron tools in the Taishou Mansion at night, but not to make weapons, but to strengthen the foundation. During this time, the Taishou Mansion was being renovated, and several new courtyards and houses were built, and the adults said that adding iron tools to the foundation can make the foundation more solid! ”
As he spoke, the old servant pointed to the side and said, "If Da Sikong doesn't believe it, the old slave will take Da Sikong to see it!" ”
Song Hong's face sank like water, pointed at the old servant, and shouted angrily: "Be bold and slave, when death is imminent, you still have to quibble?" How much benefit does Tianyi promise you? ”
The old servant was so frightened that his body trembled, waved his hand again and again, and said: "What the old slave said is true! ”
Deng Yu smiled at the angry Song Hong and said, "Da Sikong, since this house slave said that the iron tools forged by the Taishou Mansion are for the purpose of strengthening the foundation, then it doesn't hurt for us to go and have a look!" ”
Song Hong's face was gloomy, but he finally nodded.
The old servant took Deng Yu, Song Hong and others to a newly built courtyard.
It can be seen that both the courtyard wall and the house here are new. The old servant first pointed to the courtyard wall and said, "There are reinforcing iron tools inside and below the wall. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the house in the courtyard and said, "There are also iron tools for reinforcing the foundation under the house. Speaking of this, the old servant sighed lightly and continued: "Two years ago, the eldest son had a ground shake (earthquake), collapsed a lot of houses, and killed and injured a lot of people. ”
Deng Yu sighed, shook his head at the surrounding Han soldiers, and said, "Smash open a wall battlement and take a look!" ”
"Yes! My lord! "Some soldiers brought several sledgehammers, and the people picked up the hammers and smashed them against the battlements, and in a short time, the adobes outside the battlements were smashed off, and when they looked inside, there were keels made of iron lumps. www.. org
Deng Yu stepped forward, looked carefully, touched it carefully, turned around and nodded at Song Hong, indicating that it was right, the inside of the wall buttress was indeed cast by iron.
Song Hong's brows tightened, and his mind turned. The Taishou Mansion was renovated, and iron keels were installed in the wall buttresses, which was too extravagant, even the courtyard wall of the palace was not to such an extent.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and Song Hong said conclusively: "This is not right! This is just a cover for Tian Yi's private weapons! ”
Speaking of this, he turned around and walked to the old man's servant, grabbed his clothes, and asked in a condensed voice, "Say!" Where did Tian Yi hide those privately made weapons? ”
The old servant's face turned pale with fright, and he stammered: "The old slave can swear to the heavens that there is no ...... in the Taishou Mansion There are no private weapons! ”
"I see, you won't say it if you don't punish you!" Song Hong turned his head and shouted: "The military stick is waiting!" When he confesses, he will stop, and if he refuses to confess, he will keep beating me! ”
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately dragged the old servant up, dragged him out, and walked out.
Song Hong returned to the lobby of the main room with a sinking face, and asked Tian Yi to come up. Song Hong asked Tian Yi where the privately made weapons were hidden.
Tian Yi's statement is consistent with that of the old family servant, saying that he has never made weapons privately, and the iron tools forged in the Taishou Mansion are only used to renovate and strengthen the house and courtyard walls.
Seeing that Tian Yi insisted that there were no private weapons, Song Hong was also anxious, so he tortured and whipped Tian Yi. At the beginning, Tian Yi could still grit his teeth and persevere, but after more than a dozen whips, Tian Yi couldn't stand it anymore and let out a heart-rending scream.
Feeling almost, Deng Yu shouted: "Stop!" ”
After stopping the execution, he turned his head to Song Hong and said: "Da Sikong, Tianyi is too shou after all, even if he wants to be executed, it must have His Majesty's will, and the three governments will try it!" ”
Song Hong raised his hand and pointed at Tian Yi angrily, and said: "The thief's mouth is very hard, and if he doesn't punish him, how can he confess?" ”
Deng Yu reminded in a low voice: "But Da Sikong really beat people to death, even if he was seriously injured, when he returns to Luoyang, how can he explain to His Majesty?" ”
Song Hong thought about it carefully, and what Deng Yu said was not unreasonable. Tian Yi has a hard mouth, he doesn't believe that the officials of the county government, the thousands of soldiers of the county army, and even the dozens of domestic servants and maids in the Taishou Mansion can have a mouth as hard as Tian Yi.
He ordered Tian Yi to be brought down, and then the county officials were interrogated.
For these county officials, Song Hongke doesn't need to be polite, after all, their rank is far worse than that of Taishou, even if they are the highest-ranking Changshi and Juncheng, Yulu is only six hundred stones.
Song Hong gave heavy sentences to the county officials, and the county and Changshi were whipped to the fullest, but both of them gritted their teeth, that is, they did not admit that Tian Yi had rebelled.
After some severe interrogation, two people from all over the county government, big and small, finally found that Tian Yi had indeed plotted against him, and indeed made weapons privately in the Taishou Mansion.
They didn't know where the privately made weapons were hidden.
Someone confessed, then things were easy to do, and after that, Song Hong interrogated Tianyi's family members one after another, and the servants and maids of the Taishou Mansion were interrogated.
Because there was no torture for Tianyi's family, to be precise, Deng Yu stopped him and did not let Song Hong be tortured, so nothing was tried on them.
But the servants of the Taishou Mansion were not so lucky, and in the end, more than a dozen people could not stand the torture, and they also pointed out that Tian Yi did make weapons privately in the Taishou Mansion, but they couldn't tell where these privately made weapons were hidden.
Song Hong and Deng Yu stayed in the eldest son for three days, and they also had three full trials.
In the end, Song Hong took Tianyi, and even the county officials, Tianyi's family, and the servants of the Taishou Mansion, etc., up and down, and there were as many as two or three hundred people, and returned to Luoyang.
As for the county government, it was temporarily concurrently held by the eldest son, and all the county troops were disarmed and temporarily guarded by the Jingshi army that remained.
Song Hong's trip to the north was really like a storm, and between the walks and the passing, the Shangdang County Government underwent earth-shaking changes.
To make a long story short, a few days later, Song Hong and Deng Yu returned to Luoyang and returned to Liu Xiu.
Song Hong handed over all the case files he had sorted out to Liu Xiu.
When it comes to literary talent, Song Hong is outstanding in the whole world.
The dossier he sorted out was called a well-documented, sharp-tongued, three-point wood, even a person who had a good impression of Tianyi, after reading Song Hong's dossier, he couldn't wait to break Tianyi's body into pieces.
Liu Xiu took Song Hong's dossier, first looked through it roughly, and then he knew the facts of the case, and then he put down the dossier, looked at Song Hong, and asked, "Where are Tian Yi and his comrades now?" ”
"They were all imprisoned in the army by Weichen."
"Hmm!" Liu Xiu nodded and said, "All of them will enter the Tingwei Mansion, and I will personally try this case one day!" ”
Looking at Song Hong's file, this is not a small case, and it is not only Tian Yi who wants to rebel, it seems that there are no good people in the entire Shangdang County Government, and they are all thieves who collude with Tian Yi.
The entire county government wants to rebel against itself, is this worth it? Liu Xiu himself also wanted to find out where he had mistreated the Shangdang County Government, which caused the entire county government to be so resentful of him.
After Song Hong retreated, Liu Xiu kept Deng Yu, he stood up, frowned, paced back and forth in the main hall, and asked, "Zhonghua, have you read the dossier written by Song Sikong?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen has seen it."
"It's all true?" To tell the truth, until now, Liu Xiu couldn't believe that the entire Shangdang County Government, dozens of officials, big and small, were going to rebel against themselves.
In fact, Deng Yu didn't expect Song Hong to be so ruthless, he not only wanted to cure the crime of Tianyi, but also the crime of dozens of officials in the party and county government.
After a case was investigated, it turned out to be so big, which was far beyond Deng Yu's original expectations.
Deng Yu looked at Liu Xiu cautiously, then lowered his head and whispered: "Song Sikong and Tian Taishou have always had a grudge, and in dealing with Tian Taishou's case, Song Sikong ...... It's a bit of an overkill. ”
"Is it as simple as overkill?" Liu Xiu turned around, walked to the table, picked up a file, shook it to Deng Yu, and said: "According to what Song Sikong wrote, dozens of officials in the Shangdang County Government are all anti-thieves, and there is no official loyal to the Han family. "If that's the case, are all the imperial histories who inspect Shangdang County dead?
Deng Yu lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word. After a long time, seeing that Liu Xiu's anger had subsided a little, he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Tian Taishou is likely to be wronged......
Liu Xiu narrowed her eyes and asked, "Who was wronged?" ”
"This ...... Wechen didn't know. ”
"Stand down!" Liu Xiu waved his hand in disappointment. Liu Xiu doesn't know much about Tian Yi, but he still knows a little.
Tian Yi is a representative of the 'resignation theory', his ability is not necessarily strong, but he is more down-to-earth, very resigned to his fate, just such a person who accepts his fate, but now he wants to take risks to rebel? Liu Xiu felt ridiculous when he thought about it.
The next day, Liu Xiu appointed the three dukes and nine kings, and went to the Tingwei Mansion with him to interrogate Tianyi.
The current Tianyi is too miserable, wearing a white prison uniform, and there are blood marks on his clothes, his hair is scattered, and his face is full of stains.
The moment he saw Liu Xiu, he couldn't help it anymore, poofed, knelt on his knees, kowtowed forward, and at the same time cried loudly, shouting: "Your Majesty, Weichen is wronged, Weichen is wronged!" ”
Song Hong snorted heavily and scolded: "Tian Yi, you planned to rebel, and now when you see Your Majesty, instead of admitting your mistakes, you dare to shout injustice?" Such unrepentant people, even if the car cracks, is not an exaggeration! ”
Liu Xiu turned his head and glanced at Song Hong, implying dissatisfaction, he hasn't spoken yet, but you have begun to speak on your behalf.
Song Hong owed to Liu Xiu, saying that he was talking too much.
Deng Chen, the court captain who was sitting in the center, turned his head to look at Liu Xiu, who nodded to him. Deng Chen slapped the table and asked, "Tian Yi, are you guilty?" ”
"Deng Tingwei, Xiaguan...... The subordinate officials don't know what the crime is? ”
"You made weapons privately, colluded with Lu Fang, and planned a rebellion, and you don't admit any of this?" Deng Chen asked in a deep voice.
Tian Yi's head shook like a rattle, and he said urgently: "Wronged! The lower officials were wronged! ”
"Wronged?"
"Yes! It was Da Sikong who deliberately framed the lower officials! The lower officials and the big Sikong have always had a grudge, the big Sikong announced a personal vendetta, framed the lower officials for rebellion, please Your Majesty is the master of Weichen, please Deng Tingwei be the master of the lower officials! ”
As he spoke, Tian Yi kowtowed forward again and again, his head slammed on the ground, and there was a bang, leaving shocking traces of blood on the ground.
Seeing this, Deng Chen gasped, and couldn't help but pick up a file on the table and look through it carefully. After a while, he frowned and said, "Mention the door, Wang Cang!" ”
