Section 40 True and False Pasha Rites

Entering the room, Zhu Jinglun didn't pay attention to Fang Shan, as if he didn't know Fang Shan. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

walked straight to Zhang Pan, who was still scolding endlessly, and seemed to be getting more and more excited about scolding, and arched his hand.

shouted, "Cousin." ”

This goods was stunned for a moment, he saw a Chinese walking in with foreign soldiers, but he didn't want to take care of it at all, he wanted to scold foreigners, if you want to ask him why he scolded foreigners, he will definitely answer "Ye likes".

But he never imagined that this compatriot who he was too lazy to deal with would suddenly come up to him and call him cousin.

Zhu Jinglun didn't want to show his cowardice, so he hurriedly whispered: "I'm from Shaoguan, Cuiyun's cousin Zhu Jinglun." ”

This goods were stunned for a moment, but judging from his expression, these two goods really believed it, because Cuiyun was really from Shaoguan, and the ghost knew if there was a cousin. Zhu Jinglun wants to pretend to be the cousin of the second young grandmother of the Zhang family, of course he has to do his homework, and he pretends that he is from Shaoguan, just to match Cuiyun's identity. At that time, there was also a reason for impersonating Cuiyun's relatives, Cuiyun was sold to the Qinglou, this kind of identity is generally a poor family, there are not too many relatives, and he has long been cut off from his family. Suddenly a cousin popped up to make it easier to explain, and the big deal was that they met later. In the end, the British neither had the conditions nor the careful investigation, and the matter passed.

At this time, Zhang Pan was really blinded.

But he was obviously not very interested in his concubine's relatives: "What are you doing here?" ”

Zhu Jinglun said: "The second young grandmother asked her younger brother to come to visit. It's unwise to hear that my cousin has confessed to a big crime. ”

Zhang Pan looked arrogant: "Hmph, that thing was done by the master!" ”

His arrogant expression, if paired with a lewd appearance, is indeed disgusting, but unfortunately Zhang Pan is not only not obscene, but he is still dignified and quite burly, which is probably the reason why the British will take it seriously after he confesses, this kind of big man is a potential molecule who can do that kind of green forest behavior in the eyes of the East and the West.

Zhu Jinglun smiled: "I don't know what my cousin did?" ”

Zhang Pan snorted: "Of course, the master slaughtered the chief of Naba. ”

Zhu Jinglun followed his words and said, "My cousin fought with the chief of Naba for 300 rounds, and finally beheaded him off the horse?" ”

Zhang Pan was stunned for a moment, and then said unashamedly: "Exactly! ”

Zhu Jinglun suddenly shouted: "Nonsense! Ba Chieftain was obviously taken away, and some foreign soldiers saw it with their own eyes, a good man who hijacked Ba Chief, jumped from the Moqin window, drove a flying car and galloped away, and it was a good man! How could it be you? ”

Zhang Pan actually didn't know the situation at all, the British obviously didn't have the patience to explain to him how Pashali was kidnapped, and when it happened, Zhang Pan was still having fun in a girl's room, so it was impossible to know the specific situation, so Zhu Jinglun lied to him.

Zhang Pan really didn't know the situation, he was angry, his face was a little flushed, and he said strongly:

"Hmph, I, of course I know. That good man is the righteous brother of so-and-so, Zhang, Zhang-"

He couldn't make up a name for a while.

Zhu Jinglun made one up for him and shouted: "But Yanren Zhang Yide? ”

Zhang Pan was robbed twice, and his white brain was a little confused, and he hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, it's Zhang Yide!" ”

After speaking, he knew that it was a bad dish, his face turned even redder, and he glared at Zhu Jinglun angrily.

Zhu Jinglun shook his head and smiled, and deliberately turned back to Hurd and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Hurd, do you think he will be a murderer?" ”

Hurd is a China expert, he still knows the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the storytellers in the streets and alleys are rotten, seeing Zhang Pan is reaction, he can't help but smile bitterly, because he confirms that Zhang Pan is also a kind of street scoundrel he has seen a lot, of course, the son of the official eunuch is sometimes no different from the street scoundrel, Hurd knows too well.

Hurd didn't say anything, but in his heart he was already inclined to believe that Zhang Pan was a fool at all, but he didn't want to interfere in the judicial trial, and he would write a report to explain some Chinese characteristics to Judge Jun when he went back, but he would definitely not express his position directly.

Hurd changed the subject: "So Mr. Zhu thinks this Mr. Fang is suspicious?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Fang Shan, who had been sitting silently against the wall.

Zhu Jinglun shook his head and said, "I don't know this Mr. Fang, and I don't know how to judge judicial trials, so I can't tell the difference." ”

Zhu Jinglun's purpose was to fish Fang Shan out, but instead he wanted to pretend that Fang Shan was not interested in Fang Shan at all.

Hurd also asked casually, now these two people are the most suspicious, Zhu Jinglun said very reasonably, he cares about Zhang Pan, because Zhang Pan is his cousin, he doesn't know this Fang Shan, let him distinguish is indeed a little difficult.

Zhu Jinglun really didn't plan to communicate directly with Fang Shan in front of Hurd at this time, the reason why he tried his best to come here was just to convey a message, that is, to let Fang Shan see himself. As long as Fang Shan saw him, he could make Fang Shan understand that he had just been arrested, and Zhu Jinglun had the ability to enter his cell, and he was accompanied by the British. According to the logic of the Chinese, Fang Shan should be able to understand that Zhu Jinglun is a very capable person, and appearing in front of him at this time is tantamount to warning him. Chinese convention, if Fang Shan can bear it, Zhu Jinglun will try his best to rescue him, if Fang Shan wants to turn against the water, he has to consider whether he can move to Zhu Jinglun, if he can't be defeated, it is equivalent to killing himself.

Therefore, Zhu Jinglun felt that as long as he appeared in the cell, Fang Shan would understand some of the meaning, and he would not bite people indiscriminately.

So Zhu Jinglun planned to stop there, and was about to discuss leaving with Hurd.

But that Fang Shan suddenly stopped being quiet, and said lightly: "You don't need to be tried, I did this matter." ”

Hurd was about to leave, when he suddenly looked solemn: "What did you say?" ”

He stepped forward.

Hurd is a meticulous person, a self-motivated, a very hard-working person, he personally came to the prison cell, just to do some practical things, to make some merits, and to harvest himself on the table.

Fang Shan still said lightly: "I said that I did this thing. ”

Hurd couldn't care about anything else, grabbed Fang Shan's braids and lifted him up:

"Say! Where is Mr. Pashali? ”

The braid was caught, Fang Shan frowned in pain, but his expression was firm:

"You want me to say yes, but you have to promise me not to kill me."

Zhu Jinglun also pretended to be concerned at this time and stepped forward, and when he heard Fang Shan's words, he said to Hurd in an inquiring tone:

"Mr. Hurd, what do you see?"

Although there is no concept of guilt and meritorious service in Western law, there is also a similar concept of tainted witnesses, and as long as the prisoner cooperates, he can help the judiciary to obtain evidence, and he can also be exempted from criminal prosecution or the treatment of mitigating or mitigating charges.

But Hurd is not a judge.

He just suddenly realized that an opportunity to make meritorious service was in front of him, and he was too eager.

Zhu Jinglun reminded again: "Mr. Hurd, did you inform Mr. Jun?" ”

Only then did Hurd realize that he had overstepped his authority. Nodding.

But he still didn't want to give up the opportunity in front of him: "I just want to know where is Mr. Pashali? ”

He was still clutching Fang Shan's braids, as if he wouldn't stop until he got something useful.

Zhu Jinglun also guessed Hurd's thoughts, if he immediately got useful information as soon as he came, he would also show his face in front of the military judge.

If you want Hurd to leave, you have to make him satisfied.

Zhu Jinglun made a hint to Fang Shan faintly: "Lord Hurd asked you something, and you still don't say it?" ”

Fang Shan snorted: "Okay, I said." I was only ordered to act, and I was informed by the peak that he saw a box carried in the Moqin room that day, and asked me to break in by getting drunk to attract the attention of Yangyi, so that it would be convenient for others to act. I don't know about the rest. ”

Zhu Jinglun asked, "What box?" ”

Fang Shan said: "A big box! ”

He continued, "How big? ”

Fang Shan said: "You can put anyone in it!" ”

Hurd suddenly seemed to have caught something, and couldn't help but let go of his hand.

He muttered, "Big box? Can pretend to be a person! ”

Then he glanced at Zhu Jinglun, and saw that Zhu Jinglun was still confused, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't laugh.

"Mr. Pashali is still in that green house!"

Obviously, Hurd was misled by Fang Shan and Zhu Jinglun's singing and harmony, he is not stupid, but smart people are sometimes easy to pretend to be smart, but they fall into the trap by mistake, and the people who are deceived are often people who are a little clever and think that they have taken advantage.

Hurd already had a picture of this in his mind, a few Chinese spies sent a box that could contain people into the room where Pashali was, then knocked Pashali unconscious, stuffed Pashali into the box, then jumped into the carriage, and then drove the carriage to attract everyone's attention. But in fact, Pa Xiali was hidden in the box in Yuexiang Building, waiting for the opportunity to take it away.

Zhu Jinglun pretended not to know: "Mr. Hurd, what did you say?" ”

Hurd suppressed his smugness and said, "This kind of conspiracy can't fool me." Since Mr. Pashali was kidnapped, we have sealed off the Yuexiang Building, and have been sending troops to guard it, if they hide Mr. Pashali in the Yuexiang Building, then where is Mr. Pashali now, they can't take it away. ”

Zhu Jinglun continued to be stupid: "I don't understand, why do they do this? ”

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. You Chinese say that 'the light is dark' is the truth, these bandits are really very cunning. They have been plotting for a long time, that is, to capture Mr. Pashali, how could they risk taking Mr. Pashali away directly. So they were hiding Mr. Pashali first, and then when we were slackening, they were sneaking away. Am I right? Mr. Fang. ”

Hurd glared at Fang Shan fiercely, and at this time his smug expression could no longer be concealed. This is obviously very inappropriate, Pashali is his boss, he was arrested, and he is still proud, too unreasonable. But he was so proud that he couldn't help it.

Zhu Jinglun said inexplicably: "But I heard that there was really a foreigner who was taken away by bandits in a carriage that day." ”

Hurd said: "Don't forget the box that can hold people, when they carried the box into the Yuexiang Building, there was a person hidden inside, a blonde Englishman like Mr. Pashali. Then he used this person to impersonate us, lured away our soldiers, and hid Mr. Pashali in the Yuexiang Building. ”

After speaking, Hurd glanced at Zhu Jinglun again: "Mr. Zhu still doesn't know that when our people were chasing that carriage, they were blocked by some people with carts and horses in the Red Temple for a while, and then our people lost it." But we found the carriage, and Mr. Pashali was nowhere to be found. Just yesterday afternoon, someone salvaged the body of a foreigner from a nearby river, but we identified that it was not Mr. Pashali. But he was dressed in the clothes of Mr. Pashali. At the time we thought it was a coincidence, but now it seems that it is a stand-in used by the bandits to confuse us. The real Mr. Pashali was hidden by the bandits. ”

Zhu Jinglun really didn't know about these situations, he didn't even know that Lin Fuxiang also arranged for people to block the foreign soldiers with carts, horses and groceries in the area of the Red Temple in order to buy time for Lin Zhuang who was setting up the carriage to escape, and he didn't know that when Lin Zhuang drove the carriage to the moat at the east gate, there was a flower boat to pick him up. As for the fake Pasha, they would be stoned and thrown into the moat.

It's just that I didn't expect that the corpse was unexpectedly fished up, which is a small flaw.

Lin Fuxiang has never been completely at ease with Zhu Jinglun, or unwilling to take Zhu Jinglun seriously, so these confidential things are not completely told to Zhu Jinglun. At this time, Hurd's triumphant teasing made Zhu Jinglun understand a general idea.

After listening to Hurd's analysis, Zhu Jinglun pretended to think for a while, and then showed a look of sudden realization and great admiration.

"Mr. Hurd has a great point! So what do we have now? ”

Zhu Jinglun asked.

Hede's tone was firm: "Without further ado, you go to Yuexiang Mansion with me immediately." It's been three days, and I hope nothing will happen to Mr. Pashali! ”

Stuffed in a box for three days, the ghost knows if he will live, if he is alive, this is tantamount to a shocking gift for Hurd, how will Pasha Li be grateful to Hurd after being rescued? If he died, it would only be a pity for Hurd, who also proved his ability to other British officials and would have received more respect from others.

So he immediately left the Panyu County Prison, ordered a soldier to go back to the General's Mansion to inform the military judge, and asked the military judge to interrogate Fang Shan, and at the same time immediately borrowed a few soldiers from the officer guarding the yamen, and hurried to Yuexiang Tower.

Sure enough, Yuexianglou was protected by a platoon of British soldiers, and this was the place where the crime occurred.

Hurd took a hard time, but after the officer knew him and listened to his nonsense, he reluctantly let him in.

Along the way, he went straight to Moqin's boudoir, which had been locked up a long time ago, and then found the box.

But when the box was opened, Hurd was disappointed, because it was empty except for a few clothes!

Hurd was stunned in place, his analysis just now was incisive, tight, very logical, and there were huge interests, which led him to firmly believe in it, but the facts were completely out of his imagination, and the blow was huge, just like a person suddenly found that his lottery had won, but when he claimed the prize, he found that his lottery ticket was from the previous period, and that sense of loss made Hurd's mind immediately blind.

Standing in place, he made a big joke!

But Hurd's guess is not entirely wrong, the real Pasha Li was indeed not taken away directly by Lin Zhuang that day, they will not take that risk, where is the real Pasha Li? It's indeed around here, but they can't find it at Hurd.
