For the cadres of Daxing County, today can really be regarded as a witness. In the past, only Jinyiwei's people forced confessions to others and wanted to torture others, but no other yamen dared to torture them. But this time, it's good, Lu Zhen actually wants to punish these Jinyi guards, which is really unprecedented.

But at the same time, the tough attitude of their own prefectural ordinance also made them excited. Being able to work next to such a bold and daring adult makes them bolder. After listening to Lu Jin's words, these people immediately followed to cheer to increase their momentum, and at the same time, some stepped forward and pretended to be really motivated by them.

Qu Ping, who originally despised the Daxing County Ya, was finally a little nervous now, although he still drank in his mouth: "You dare!" I'm a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, an official of the imperial court! His body trembled uncontrollably. No matter how fierce he pretended, he couldn't change the weak nature of his heart.

His sense of fear was immediately caught by Lu Jin, and without the slightest hesitation, he picked up the fire pick in the lottery holder on the case and threw it directly to the ground in front of him: "You dare to roar in court?" Torture me! ”

At the sound of the order, several messengers pounced on him, pressed him to the ground, and then put the clamp stick, which still had the blood stains of the previous prisoner, straight to Qu Ping's ten fingers. When the ten fingers touched the iron-cold clamping stick, Qu Ping trembled again as if he had been electrocuted, but he was still quite tough, and even at this time, he still didn't mean to confess.

When Lu Zhen saw this, his heart was horizontal, and he wanted to wait for the order to be tortured. He could see that this Qu Ping was now on the verge of collapse, and as long as he really suffered hardship, he would definitely recruit him. At this time, the government is different from the future generations, and what kind of evidence is still to be talked about, and the torture can still be accepted.

But just as he had an order to torture him, and before he could get out, Han Yue, who was being held down on the side, suddenly spoke: "Have you thought about it, do you really want to torture my Jinyi guard?" When the time comes, he will be able to leave the Lu County Order, and you people and your families will not be able to leave! The tone was solemn, with a deep sense of intimidation.

But the effect of these words was immediate. The officers who were about to do it heard this, and the movements in their hands were a shock, and their faces showed hesitation and retreat. Of course, they understood the meaning, Lu Jin, as a court official, had this talisman, and it was indeed a little difficult for Jinyiwei to attack him. But the others, their status is not much higher than that of ordinary people, if Jinyiwei really wants to retaliate, he can find a reason to deal with them, not to mention their relatives.

It was Lu Jin, who stopped talking after hearing this threatening words, he knew very well that this was not an empty word, Jin Yiwei did have the ability and intention to do such a retaliatory act, he didn't want to affect everyone in the county government because of his insistence.

And this hesitation alone made Qu Ping react. Thinking of his panic just now, he suddenly felt annoyed and angry, and immediately swept his eyes left and right: "Isn't it just a stick?" Come on, Lao Tzu can still stand it. But the torture instruments in our pacification department are much more fun than these goods, and I will call you one by one to return the favor when the time comes! When he said this, his face was full of hideousness.

The already nervous servants were frightened by him, and they didn't dare to make a move, so they had to look at Lu Zhen above. They were really scared, Jinyiwei was not something that a little person like them could afford to provoke.

Seeing this, Lu Jin was also a little helpless, and at the same time had to admit that in the end, it was the notorious Jinyi Guard, even if it was a weak time, it could still make people feel afraid and panic.

At this time, Qu Ping, who had already made up his mind, took advantage of the victory to pursue and said: "Lu County Order, I said that this matter was a misunderstanding, what else can you do now?" If you don't let me go, I'm afraid that we will send more people to calm down later, and then it's not impossible to take you to add to the crime, can you figure it out? ”

Lu Zhen was silent for a while. What is called riding a tiger is difficult, at this time he can clearly feel it. If someone is released, even if the case is completely smashed, it is difficult to find clues no matter how much you want to investigate; But if you don't let go, now this situation can't be punished, and people deny it, maybe there are really people from Jinyi who come to ask for people, but what should I do then?

Is this time I really going to miss it? Can only watch the innocent people of the Qingzhu Gang being framed and killed?

Just when he felt in a dilemma and made up his mind, an errand officer suddenly came to the front of the hall: "My lord, Zhu Chang is outside asking to see you." ”

"Huh?" Lu Jin was slightly stunned, only then did he understand, and suddenly there was a glimmer of hope in his heart: "Let him come in and talk back!" "Zhu Chang asked for orders to go and track down those gang members who harmed the brothers in the gang, but there was no response before, and now he suddenly came back, he must have gained something. It was precisely because of this thought that Lu Zhen decided to let him come in and speak.

Zhu Chang didn't come back alone. When he walked to the front of the hall with some difficulty, he also carried a rope in his hand, and a very embarrassed guy was tied to the rope. And he himself has scars on his body, his clothes are also tattered, and he doesn't look much better than the other party.

Seeing this situation, Lu Zhen had already guessed the truth, and his spirit suddenly lifted. But Qu Ping and the others looked impatient: "Lu County Order, if you have something else, you can let us go and deal with it." If you continue like this, you will have to pay the consequences! ”

"Who said the official was going to let you go? What evidence did you just say, but now the witness is coming? Lu Zhen took a hand and said to the man who was being led up in embarrassment.

Qu Ping Jinyiwei was shocked when he heard this, turned his head to look, and happened to face the person, but they still looked a little puzzled, only one Jinyiwei's expression changed suddenly, staring at the person with an unbelievable gaze, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

Zhu Chang struggled to cross the high threshold, and then greeted Lu Jin: "My lord, I am fortunate not to be dishonored." ”

"Good! This person is the person who was entangled with you on the night of the Shangyuan Festival? Lu Zhen didn't say hello, and asked straight to the point.

"Exactly. A brother told him about his appearance and identity early, so I was able to find him outside the capital. For this reason, he also fought a battle with several of his accomplices, and only then did he get people back! ”

Although Zhu Chang said it lightly, it can be known from the wounds on his body that it must be a bitter battle. He dealt with many opponents with the strength of one person, and finally was able to capture the target alive, which shows the perseverance of his character and extraordinary skills.

As he spoke, several of the servants had already pushed the man to the ground at Lu Jin's signal. The injuries on this body were also quite light, so they were easily controlled by these officers. Lu Zhen immediately asked, "Who are you?" Do you know why this official is questioning you today? If there is a lie, the torture equipment of our county government is not to be seen! ”

The man's gaze was falling on several torture instruments on the ground at this time, and his body trembled when he heard this. He had already been frightened by Zhu Chang's ruthlessness when he arrested him, and at this time he was in the court, so he didn't dare to hide anything, so he told everything on the spot: "The villain Niu Jiu is an idler in the capital, and he just joined the Black Rat Gang not long ago......"

Lu Jin was not interested in knowing his identity, so he patted his face and asked, "This official asked you, were you ever instructed to have an argument with someone on the night of the Shangyuan Festival, and then set it on fire?" ”

Niu Jiu's body trembled suddenly, and his face showed fear, but under Lu Jin's strong pressure, he still replied obediently: "Indeed...... That's true. On that day, our gang leader received a message from an officialdom friend asking him to take someone to fight with another group of people, and then take advantage of the chaos to set fire...... The little one was there at the time......"

"Come and see, is there anyone you know here?" Lu Zhen pointed at those brocade guards with his hand.

Only then did Niu Jiu set his eyes on the brocade guards in front of him. After all, he was from the capital, and he recognized these people as Jinyiwei at a glance, and his face turned pale with fright, and his legs were weak for a while, and after seeing the Jinyiwei he knew, his expression changed, but when he came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything under the gaze of the other party.

But this change completely fell into Lu Jin's eyes, and he didn't hesitate to point at the brocade guard and ask loudly, "Is it him?" He is the one who commanded you to cause trouble and arson, yes or no? ”

In fact, Niu Jiu's answer just now was enough to excuse the people of the Qingzhu Gang, because he had admitted that they had set the fire. But Lu Jin was obviously not satisfied with this, he insisted on pulling Jinyiwei into the water.

It's not that Lu Zhen has to be more truthful, but it's because in the current situation, he has long been opposed to Jinyiwei, and only by convicting them of the crime can he be safe, and he doesn't have to be afraid of being bitten by them.

"Lu Jin, you are slandering, this is a crime of desire!" Han Yue reacted the fastest, and immediately roared.

But Lu Zhen didn't pay attention to his reaction at all, just stared at Niu Jiu in front of him and said urgently: "You can think clearly, if you don't recruit from the truth, all the charges will be borne by you, and when the time comes, not only will you die, but you will be punished lightly by the nine clans!" ”

The deterrent effect of these words is too great, and a small person like Niu Jiu will not understand the seriousness of the case at all. But he was really panicked when he was forced to ask by Lu Jin, and immediately replied loudly: "That's right, this person was the one who instructed us that day, and he also asked us to just beat people and set fires, and they would take care of the rest......" As he spoke, his finger was already pointing at the Jinyi guard on the side who had already changed his face!

Lu Jin breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally showed a smile on his face: "Everyone, now that the human certificate is available, if you still deny it and refuse to recruit, you have no choice but to make trouble about it, this time it is to alarm the Son of Heaven, and I must also get the case to the bottom of it!" "Once the breakthrough is found, his whole person's spirit and spirit are different!
