Dozens of strong men of Han and Mongolia walked forward in one place was enough to attract attention, and now there was one person in custody among them, which naturally caused the people in the market to look sideways for a while, and even because of this, many brave enough idlers followed them from a distance to see what this group of strongmen was going to do.

It wasn't until Yang Chen and the others came to the county government that the people were a little relieved and knew that these guys were not evildoers. However, in this way, it aroused the curiosity in everyone's hearts even more, and word of mouth passed on the fact that a large group of people surrounded the county yamen, which had always been quite deserted.

Not to mention that those people were surprised by this, even those yacha guards in front of the county yamen were really a little nervous when they saw such a group of fierce guys coming towards them, and it wasn't until they approached that they had the courage to come forward to ask.

Fortunately, at this time, someone in the yamen soon spread the word, saying that it was Zhu Xian Ling who invited them to come in and talk, and these errands gave way in disbelief and invited this group of guys with swords and swords, and at first glance, they were not ordinary and good guys into the yamen.

Zhengde, who was mixed in the crowd, looked full of interest and curiosity at this time, and kept looking around, and there were words in his mouth: "This county government looks really a little dilapidated, I really don't know where they use the tax money they receive every year......

Yang Chen, who was not far from him, heard this, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, this son of the day was really a little unobtrusive, so that he, a subordinate, didn't know how to react and evaluate. But his guards were obviously used to seeing them, and they didn't see the slightest abnormality on their faces.

Soon, everyone had come to the second hall, and they saw a person kneeling in the main hall, Zhu Xuangao was sitting behind the long case, and asked what was going on. And their arrival quickly attracted the attention of the officials on the side, and many people glanced at them with surprised eyes, obviously guessing the identity of this group of people.

In the hall, Zhu Xuan stared at the assassin with a serious expression and said, "Now that you have been captured, you still refuse to confess?" Why did you assassinate the magistrate, and who instructed you? Also, why can you easily hide in the granary of this county, all of them are recruited by me. ”

The one was still silent, and put on a posture that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. This made the anger in Zhu Xuan's heart stronger and stronger, and he immediately slapped the shocked wood and shouted: "Okay, since you are so ignorant, then the official can only torture you!" Come on, hit the official hard, and blame him for thirty boards! As he spoke, he pulled a fire stick out of the holder and threw it on the bluestone paved ground.

The officials standing on both sides obviously hesitated for a moment, and then quickly looked outside, until they saw someone nodding slightly, and then a few people came out, and after receiving the order, they knocked the assassin down, raised the water and fire stick in their hands, and pulled it down fiercely.

Listening to the crackling sound of the stick slapping on the person, Zhengde shook his head unconsciously, and then looked at Yang Chen: "Didn't you say that you can't torture them casually?" Isn't it still the same when this person is escorted to the county office? ”

"This ......" Yang Chen was speechless for a while, and only said after a while: "This should be different, the county government is justified in punishing them, but Your Majesty ...... You are lynching, which is illegal in itself. ”

"Hmph...... It's called redundancy. Zhengde shook his head with some disdain, but for the time being, he accepted Yang Chen's explanation. But then, he looked at Yang Chen with a smile: "But in this situation, it seems that this method alone may not be able to ask what is coming from, what do you say?" ”

"Look, we'll find out the truth." Yang Chen seemed confident.

As he spoke, the thirty boards over there were finally finished, and a messenger pulled the person up again, so that the assassin, who was trembling with pain and his face was distorted, answered again.

But what disappointed Zhu Xuan was that he still didn't say a word, only staring at himself with disapproving eyes, although he didn't say anything, but his intention was undoubtedly revealed, that is, he wouldn't admit anything anyway.

Seeing this, Zhu Xuan was a little at a loss, he couldn't torture him anymore, right? And judging from the attitude he shows, this is a dead man, and ordinary means can't make him obey at all. Fortunately, he had already seen the group of people standing outside the hall, and also saw the other assassin who was tied up strongly, so he glanced at Yang Chen who was standing on the side, and after nodding slightly, he spoke: "Who is standing outside the hall, come in quickly and reply!" ”

Yang Chen hurriedly dressed up, and then he stepped in, first bowed his hand, and then spoke: "If you go back to the county lord, we are righteous and brave people, because we took down another assassin, so we sent him to the official mansion, and asked the lord to send him down." As he spoke, two guards had already brought another Assassin into the hall.

These words naturally caused the county officials on the side to exchange their heads for a while, and many people looked at Yang Chen with some doubts, faintly feeling that this person seemed to be somewhat familiar, but they couldn't remember his identity for a while. After all, today's Yang Chen is also dressed up, and he looks very different from before, completely from Outer Mongolia.

Hearing this, Zhu Xuan's face showed a hint of joy, and he immediately slapped the shocked wood, and shouted at the newly arrived assassin and asked: "The official asks you, who are you, why did you hide in the granary to assassinate the official, and who instructed you to do all this?" ”

As just now, in the face of this series of questions, the other party remained silent, and even looked at Zhu Xuan provocatively with a cold and fearless gaze, not taking him seriously at all.

As a result, the atmosphere in the hall was a little weird, and I saw the county magistrate sitting behind the case with a blue face, but he couldn't ask a confession at all. The two murderers knelt there upright, without the slightest fear. As for those officials and officials, they were even more amused and even gloating at this somewhat embarrassing scene, as if all this had been expected by them a long time ago.

Seeing this, Zhengde outside the hall was also stunned: "This...... How could this prefectural order be so incompetent? Can't even deal with two assassins who were taken down on the spot? ”

At this moment, a green-robed petty official suddenly spoke leisurely: "Lord County, since these two thieves are so stubborn, this case will not be tried for a while, in the opinion of the lower officials, it is better to take them into custody first, and then let the lower officials and others help deal with them together, right?" ”

When Yang Chen heard the prestige, he found that it was the second master of the county government who said this, Wang Ningxian, the county prince.

Compared with Zhu Xuan, the county order, and Yang Chen, the former county yadian history, this Wang Xiancheng can be regarded as an old man in this partial county ya. He has been a county magistrate here for seven or eight years, so when it comes to prestige, it is obvious that he wants to be better than the main hall of Zhu County, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he got the approval of many officials: "Yes, Lord County, it is not early today, it seems that there is nothing to try, it is better to temporarily detain them, maybe for a few days, they will not dare to be so slack." ”

As soon as Yang Chen heard this, his brows quickly furrowed. Because it reminded him of what happened to him in prison some time ago. Those people dared to attack themselves in prison, and they dared to attack these two assassins this time. Letting them go or killing them was not what he wanted.

Obviously, Zhu Xuan also understood this, so after facing the persuasion of his subordinates, he immediately shook his head and objected: "No, if you don't ask about this matter, this official will not take them into prison!" ”

"But Lord County, these two people don't want to speak at all, but how can they ask their eyebrows?" At this time, even Li Xing, the warden of the torture room, dared to open his mouth to express doubts.

This made Zhu Xuan's face more and more ugly, but he couldn't do anything for a while, so he could only be silent with a gloomy face.

At this time, even Zhengde, who was outside the hall, saw some clues: "The people in this county government are very wrong, they are clearly against the county order, just like those courtiers on weekdays always can't get along with me, as long as I make up my mind, they will always pick their noses and eyes......"

Just when the atmosphere in the hall became more and more strange, a person suddenly spoke: "Who said that this case cannot be continued?" Lord County, there are actually witnesses in this case. ”

The group looked at the sound with some surprise and realized that it was the same guy who had just escorted another assassin to the court. And after Zhu Xuan heard this, he immediately perked up: "Yes, you are also a person in the know...... It's up to you. ”

"My lord, this person doesn't look like my Daming people, how can I believe his words?" Seeing that there were about to cause twists and turns again, Li Xing immediately spoke out against it.

"There has never been a clause in my Ming law that says that you must be a citizen of the Ming Dynasty to go to court to make an offering." Yang Chen immediately refuted it very calmly, and at the same time, his gaze at Li Xing had added a little suspicion.

He was the one who designed to pour down his medicine that day, and he was the one who behaved most fiercely in the court today, and the people who might have come into contact with his body in Chen Zhigao's case were also likely to be people in the torture room...... Even if this Li Xing is not the mastermind behind the scenes, he should be an informed accomplice!

Facing Yang Chen's rebuttal, Li Xing didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he could only snort lowly.

And Zhu Xuan seized the opportunity and immediately asked, "Then tell me quickly, what else do you know?" ”

"Wait!" Just as Yang Chen opened his mouth to speak, Wang Ningxian, the county prince, spoke again: "My lord, before that, do we have to find out the identities of these people first?" Also, why did they appear just outside the granary and help the government take down the two assassins? ”
