Chapter 323: Huainan Journey (4)
Two days later, one early morning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Before dawn, Luo Yi asked people to invite Shi Wuchong, the governor of Yangzhou, and several important officials in Yangzhou to the State Chamber of Commerce to hear the trial.
In addition to Changshi Wu Chong, there were two other officials who went to the State Chamber of Commerce.
"Ladies and gentlemen, sit down."
"Thank you."
The three of them arched their hands and found a place to sit down.
At the same time, Zhao Wenxian walked in with four or five prisoners and told them to kneel.
Luo Yi's face is very relaxed today, until all the people inside the story have died, and the case can no longer be interrogated, and now it is just a formality.
When everyone knelt down, Luo Yi said: "You... When I was hungry in Xiliang, it was my eldest brother who brought you back to Chang'an, and gave you food and drink, and now there is an accident in the National Chamber of Commerce, if you know anything, please tell the truth, and it can be regarded as repaying my eldest brother's kindness. ”
Luo Yi's words are very meaningful.
On the surface, it sounds like he wants people to tell the truth and say whatever they know. But after thinking about it carefully, it has another meaning, a metaphor, if everyone knows something, please look at Luo Tong's saving people's lives at the beginning, and go to endure it, and it can be regarded as repaying the original kindness.
As long as he is not an ungrateful person, even if he knows the whole truth of the matter, even if he knows the whole truth, he is afraid that he will grit his teeth.
Although he knew that it was impossible for these people in front of him to know anything, Luo Yi was still cautious.
"My lord, we don't know anything, the treasury was stolen, and we didn't hear from the people on the street until the next day."
A person kneeling next to him cried.
Luo Yi asked: "Then you are standing guard and patrolling in the State Chamber of Commerce, but what suspicious things have you found, or suspicious people?" ”
Everyone shook their heads: "There is no ......" ”
Luo Yi gritted his teeth, slapped the shocked wood, and shouted: "You guys didn't tell the truth, come on, drag me out and fight, and each will hit thirty boards." ”
"Yes."
Several soldiers stepped forward and dragged everyone kneeling in the lobby out.
At the same time, Luo Yi arrived again: "Come on, bring another batch up." ”
Not long after, four or five more people were brought in, and Luo Yi interrogated them one by one according to the previous method, and none of them were missed, and there was no surprise that no one revealed half a sentence.
In less than half an hour, more than 100 people, all dragged out and beaten, lay in the courtyard outside the lobby, wailing.
When lunch time came, Luo Yi looked at Wu Chong and the others and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's already noon, why don't we try it again after eating." ”
"Today's meal is for me."
Wu Chong waved his hand again and again: "How can this allow Lord Qincha to entertain you, it should be the friendship of the landlord." ”
"Master Wu, don't fight with me, it's just a light meal."
Luo Yi said: "I have asked people to go to the Drunken Immortal Residence to prepare, I believe it should be there immediately." ”
"This..."
Wu Chongdao: "Okay, then the lower officials will thank you." ”
The other two officials of Yangzhou Mansion also bowed their hands one after another: "Lord Xie." ”
After a while, the person who delivered the meal came, and several large tables of wine and food, including fish and meat, were very rich, and their momentum had caught up with the level of Chang'an Drunken Immortal Residence.
This is what Luo Yi specially ordered, it must be according to the highest level of the Drunken Immortal Residence, not to mention the soldiers present, even Wu Chong and the others have not seen it.
There is no special significance in preparing these, it's just that Luo Yi wants to make the people in the courtyard have a good time...
Don't get me wrong, it's not that Luo Yi wants to murder Xinfang, but that he doesn't want to go in his heart and try to make up for it.
The food was cut off, and wherever there were people in the courtyard, in the lobby, there were guys from the Drunken Immortal Residence who held a small table and placed it in front of the people, and then put more than a dozen dishes on it, and brought rice and wine.
The process of delivering meals is a bit complicated, because there are many of them, and everyone needs a table, which is not a matter of energy consumption for a while.
However, with the efforts of the guys in the Drunken Immortal Residence, it was finally placed.
Wu Chong and the other three officials were a little angry when they saw that even the prisoners outside the courtyard were eating the same as them; At the same time, I was also very puzzled, and subconsciously felt that maybe the food was not so delicious, right? But take a closer look at the dishes on the table in front of you, it's not bad, it's definitely authentic Drunken Xianju dishes, and even many of them haven't eaten them.
"Don't be surprised by the three adults, the prisoners are also human beings, and only after eating can they have the strength to reply to the intercession."
Luo Yi also had one, and while eating, Luo Yi said.
Everyone was treated equally, Luo Yi moved his chopsticks, and everyone else acted quickly.
"Lord Chincha laughed, of course we won't mind."
Even Luo Yi eats together, Luo Yi doesn't mind, what else do they mind.
The most important thing is that the food in front of them is really delicious, and the three of them are all experts, and they know that it is the best dish in Drunken Xianju.
In the courtyard, the prisoners who were sitting on the ground eating saw that the food in front of them was already my last meal, but when they saw that the adults inside were eating the same dishes as them, they dispelled this idea.
For everyone, it is worth it to be able to eat such a meal before death.
After eating, it was already three strokes in the day, Luo Yi announced that he would remove the dining table and continue to try the case.
This time, it was even more ferocious than in the morning, and after asking a few questions, seeing that all the prisoners did not speak, Luo Yi asked people to bring Nuo Tie and stick it on the prisoner's chest.
The iron was all burned red, and once it was pasted, the flesh on the chest gathered together, and the smell of burnt flesh and blood spread, and a puff of green smoke rose.
Not to mention trying it yourself, even if you look at it, it makes people feel a chill down their spines.
Until late in the evening, almost all of them tried it, and they were tossed half-dead.
"I didn't expect it to be all hard bones, and I won't say half a word after it's like this."
Luo Yi looked at Wu Chong and said, "Lord Wu, what do you think should be done?" ”
Wu Chong thought for a while and said, "Back to Lord Qincha, the lower officials only brought their eyes, how to try the case, it should be Lord Qincha who has the final say." ”
At this time, another official said: "Xia Guan has heard that there is a kind of criminal law that the finger with a needle, and Lord Qincha might as well give it a try." ”
As soon as these words came out, Wu Chong threw a sneering look at him.
Wu Chong saw it very clearly, in today's trial, in fact, Luo Yi didn't want to punish these soldiers in his heart, and it was because of this that he asked Zuixianju to deliver the best meals.
He was reluctant to interrogate, because he was afraid that Luo Yi would find a back account, but he didn't expect someone to rush forward instead at this time, hehe... It's a god.
Sure enough, Luo Yi gritted his teeth, his face pale.
However, if someone said so, Luo Yi was not easy to object.
"Come on, get on the steel needle."
As soon as the steel needle was taken out, the prisoners in the courtyard were all shocked, they had already seen this thing, when Wu Chong was in the Yangzhou Mansion prison, he took this thing out and stunned several people.
