Chapter 100: "The Innocence of the Lesser People"
Chapter 100
Front office, lobby.
As civil servants at the bottom of the imperialist bureaucracy with Ming characteristics, the soap subordinates could not feel this kind of influence, and at most they only talked about a few words, after all, the civil servants in the entire Huangyan County were limited, and promotion should also pay attention to a seniority ranking.
So Yang Shangjing shouted to ascend to the hall, as in the past, they landed on the ground with water and fire sticks, shouting the same "mighty", the voice was majestic, but it also had a little more sense of twilight.
The old lady of the Zhang family was quickly pulled up, and knelt on the ground with a bang, under the great crime of trying to rebel, not to mention that he was a showman, and he had to kneel to lift people, but what was a little strange was that Zhang Tong and this old man lived in prison, and there was not a single scar on his body, but he was a lot richer, presumably because he had eaten well in the past few days, and there was little place for him to walk in the cell.
Yang Shangjing patted the shocked wood, squinted his eyes and asked, "Zhang Tonghe, are you guilty?!" ”
The voice was not light or heavy, but Zhang Tonghe still shuddered, kowtowed again and again, what squire's face, Xiucai's identity, and the master's shelf, all of them were thrown out of the clouds at this moment, and Yang Shangjing was a little scared when he heard the sound of Dong Dong, for fear that this old man would be killed here: "If you go back to the county, Xiaomin is not guilty, Xiaomin is not guilty, Xiaomin is a wish......"
He is really a little unsure of the pulse of the county lord now, after arresting him, there is no torture in the lobby to extract confessions, even if he is locked in a single room in the prison, he is served with good food and drink, not only him, but all the Zhang family members are not locked up with those thieves who rooster and dog thieves, wild men who run broken shoes, and homeless bandits who rob property outside, and the common tricks such as riding wooden donkeys in the prison, and their own family members have not eaten.
Not only that, these cells are also very close, the patrol jailer was trembling a few days ago, and then he simply didn't care about it, and after the arraignment was over, he threw things inside, and he didn't care about the confession or anything, and vaguely heard that the big official came down from the sub-patrol road to thoroughly investigate the case of rebellion.
He was sure that a county order that destroyed the Huang family in an instant, and was as stable as Mount Tai under the thorough investigation of the sub-patrol officer, was not at all something that the kid who was an official outside his family could bring down, so he was afraid that one day, something would come out of which corner of his own house, and he would directly click his whole family.
The unknown is fearful, and Zhang Tonghe's mood and actions at this moment perfectly interpret this concept.
"Your Zhang family and the Huang family are married, and they secretly hide armor, collude with the Japanese and deliberately rebel, don't you really know?" Yang Shangjing still squinted his eyes, and the crackling sound of the wooden slap was startled, but the problem was an old-fashioned problem, and at this moment Zhang Tonghe even felt that he had returned to the moment when he first entered the county government.
So Zhang Tonghe kowtowed and replied, his head was already red: "Hui Xianzun, Xiaomin really doesn't know about such things, whether it is collusion with the Japanese or hiding armor privately, every single one is a fatal crime, and the Huang family is just married to a daughter, how can they tell Xiaomin such things?" ”
No matter how afraid he is, he also knows that he can't admit his guilt, once he really admits his guilt, the entire Zhang family will be the same as the Huang family, and it will be over.
Yang Shangjing nodded, and shook his head again: "This Huangyan County, as far as your Zhang family and the Huang family are the largest, the Huang family has hidden armor, and the intention of rebellion is already obvious, if you want to do something rebellious, you will definitely have to discuss with you, after so many years, you don't notice it at all?!" ”
The Huang family's accusations are unwarranted, Lord County, how can they mention this to me?
Zhang Tonghe screamed wildly in his heart, only to feel that there were already blood stains on his brain, but he really didn't dare to say this, not to mention Yang Shangjing's guilt, the Huang family's guilt was determined by Yang Shangjing, that is, the officials who came to the prosecution department had already come to a conclusion, and he dared to refute that now, he would definitely be beaten to death.
So he shouted while kowtowing, the old man's voice was full of sadness, and the ground in front of him was dotted with blood flowers between the blood splashes: "If you go back to the county, Xiaomin really doesn't know, there are also people in Xiaomin's family who are officials in the court, how can you not know the word loyalty?" If you know that the Huang family has a great rebellious heart, Xiaomin will definitely report to the official. ”
Looking at Zhang Tonghe who was kowtowing and bleeding below, Yang Shangjing's heart throbbed a little, an old man in his seventies, just kowtowing and bleeding like this, how do you look at it, how can it be a little miserable, a young man with four socialist needs to be a little sympathetic in his eyes, right? However, when he turned his head and thought about it, when he was in front of his house, the mourning roar of the little maid in his house shook Yang Shangjing fiercely.
If he can kill his daughter-in-law alive, just to exonerate his family, what kind of attitude and what kind of means will this kind of person have to deal with the poor middle peasants who really come from the bottom of society? Think about the Zhang family's thousands of acres of fertile land and huge wealth, and how many poor middle peasants have blood and tears? Even for the sake of the stability of Huangyan County at this stage, if the Zhang family is not wiped out, the size of the Zhang family must be beaten.
So Yang Shangjing gritted his teeth, snorted coldly, and asked a new question that he hadn't asked for the first few interrogations: "Don't say that someone in your family is an official in the court, then the Huang family is gone?" Isn't it still a secret armor? ”
After a pause, Yang Shangjing slowly pressed a straw on the heart of the surnamed Zhang: "Then Huang Jingtan of the Huang family, he should have been imprisoned at this time, Zhang Youxiang's official position is similar to him, right?" ”
"Xiaomin is really innocent!" When Zhang Tonghe heard this, he cried loudly, his voice was hoarse and sharp, like a cuckoo crying blood, his head fell to the ground, his eyes rolled, and he completely fainted.
A soap Li stepped forward, touched his nose, and said to this Yang Shangjing: "County Zun, this Zhang Tonghe just fainted, do you want to wake him up?" ”
A bucket of cold water can not only refresh the mind, but also wake up the unconscious, as for the poor water quality, causing Zhang Tong and wound infection, it is a small problem, and the criminals, even if they are of the rank of a village sage, do not have the slightest human rights at all.
Yang Shangjing raised his eyebrows and waved his hand: "Pull it down, bring the third child of the Zhang family to this county." ”
