Putting aside these useless things, Zhao Hongming pulled his thoughts back to interrogating the case.

According to the statement, these seven people were not caught together. The five who were neatly dressed were caught outside the Technical Hall, and the two with injuries were caught inside the Technical Hall.

When the two were discovered by the masters on duty, they were trying to pry open the fake door that the technical hall was designed to deceive people. And the reason why they want to pry this door is because of the three words on the door, "Thunder and Fire".

As their confession says, they have come to steal the thunder fire.

Zhao Hongming glanced at the few people kneeling below, then pointed to one of the five people who were still neatly dressed, and asked, "Are you ......?"

Before Zhao Hongming could finish speaking, this guy actually began to cry, kowtowing and shouting: "Your Highness, Your Highness! I don't know anything! I was just brought by them and said that I wanted to get rich, I didn't know that I was here to steal things! I don't know anything about the thunder fire or the Gu family!"

This guy didn't care what Zhao Hongming wanted to ask him, anyway, he was crying and grabbing Bai Qi.

Listening to this guy's quibbles, Zhao Hongming said in his heart that this is a ghost looking for death. In the morning, what are you doing, where do you live, and how many people have already been found out by the people of the household department.

This crying guy is a native of the capital and lives in a residential area in the north city. Usually I don't do anything at home, relying on being the only son in the family, gnawing on the little inheritance left by my parents. Usually mixed with some ruffians and hooligans, in order to fight with people, I also learned boxing and kicking for a while, and I have a bit of skill.

Therefore, Zhao Hongming didn't believe a word of these things he was crying about now. Moreover, with the confessions of the other four people, this guy is actually their leader, and he led the four of them to steal things together.

"I said a lot, but I didn't tell the truth. Zhao Hongming waited for this guy to finish howling, then pointed at him again and said, "I'll give you another chance, you can say whatever I ask you." ”

"Alas, Your Highness, everything the villain said is the truth. "This kid thought this was in the local court, as long as he messed around, he could get through. He really thought too much, and the case he committed today was not a little trick in the market that could be fooled.

"Your Highness, if I have a lie, let me lose my head!" the kid also swore a poisonous oath here.

"Good. Zhao Hongming slapped the table and said loudly: "I will fulfill you, come here!"

As soon as the words fell, two executioners came in from outside the door, one tied the man with hemp rope, and tied one of them firmly in a kneeling position and couldn't move, while the other raised his big knife and was ready to cut.

In the process of being tied, this guy saw that Zhao Hongming was actually moving, and he was so frightened that he peed at that time, and the movements of crying and wailing were much more real than just now.

"Your Highness!! I said, I said! I am the mastermind of stealing things! I have been to the Technical Hall and stepped on it a little! But I was really hired by the Gu family! And the girl of the Gu family also said, let's steal more, and then bury them all in Your Highness's wedding ceremony, and use them to blow up your Highness! Don't kill me, I'm telling the truth!" Just a few words, almost didn't split his throat.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" said Zhang Shilang shaking his head.

"You can't kill people casually!" The boy saw that the prince had no intention of stopping, and began to make a final effort.

"No Dali Temple has tried me, even a prince can't kill people casually!"

Unexpectedly, this kid still knows some laws. In Yanbong, in addition to managing local law and order, the Criminal Department also has to investigate and arrest criminals when cases occur. However, the Criminal Department only has the right to arrest people and enforce the law, and the specific sentencing in the case depends on the Dali Temple according to the facts of the case and the evidence submitted by the Criminal Department.

Directly killing the head like this is indeed not in accordance with the provisions of the law.

However, knowing the law could not save him, and they triggered the crime of collaborating with the enemy, which was originally a crime that could be executed on the spot directly after being caught.

Therefore, Zhao Hongming and Zhang Shilang ignored him. One of the executioners pressed down the kid's head with a palm, and the other was also unambiguous, and slashed down with a clean knife, "click", and the kid was separated from his head when he landed.

The executioner who held the boy's head grabbed the hair on the head the moment the knife fell, and lifted it up, and the head did not fall to the ground, but was directly carried by the executioner.

Then the executioner swung his head in front of the remaining six, and the shivering ones immediately urinated as well.

Except, of course, the one who was lying on the ground with a bloody face, already out of breath and out of breath and in.

"Don't tremble, Your Highness will continue to ask questions next, if anyone dares to talk nonsense again, it will be the end!" Zhang Shilang shouted solemnly.

Although this squire is a member of the Criminal Department, he has always been a soft-hearted person. Usually, when interrogating repeat offenders, beating, scolding, and punishment are as few as possible, and such a thing as killing a person just after trial has never been done.

However, he also understands that if these guys dare to attack this thing of thunder fire, the result will be a dead end, and there is no difference between killing early and killing late.

"Come, whoever I ask next will say something, understand?" Zhao Hongming then asked.

These people, who couldn't even kneel down at the bottom, glanced at the cavity on the ground that was still "gurgling" and bleeding, and the head of the person who was on the ground and pointed at them, and his head was like pounding garlic.

Next, Zhao Hongming first interrogated the remaining four guys who were still neatly dressed.

These four are also young people who live in the northern district of the capital and can only be idle. Called together by the guy who lost his head, he was pushed to the technical hall by a mysterious figure for a few hundred taels of silver per person to steal the thunder fire.

These people, who were fascinated by money, didn't care what the place was in the technical hall, let alone whether they could get in like them, after accepting the money, they simply prepared and came to steal things in the middle of the night.

"Do you know what the guy who gave you money to steal looks like?" Zhao Hongming asked a question that he hadn't asked during his previous interrogation.

"Uh, this ......" the men looked at each other.

"It's a man. ”

"No, it's a woman!"

"No, no, no, it's obviously a white-bearded old man!"

"No, I think it's a fat man!"

Four people, four looks.

Zhao Hongming nodded, things were the same as he thought, it was indeed not that simple.

Zhang Shilang on the side was stunned, how could the people who had met together still be able to see four different looks?

"Then, the reason why the Gu family wants to thunder the wedding ceremony is also what the person told you, right?" Zhao Hongming then asked.

"Yes, yes, yes. The four guys nodded yes.

"Hmm. Zhao Hongming nodded again.

The four of them could ask almost as much as they could, and they didn't know much, so there was no need to keep them. Zhao Hongming waved his hand, and the jailers came up and escorted the four guys and sent them back to the prison.

Next, the confessions of these four people will be sent to Dali Temple, and it is estimated that the results of the trial will be able to come down in the evening. At the earliest, tomorrow at noon, the four of them will be beheaded.

In Yanfeng, the condemned prisoners did not say that they would be beheaded after the autumn. Even if it is already a capital crime, there is no point in staying for a few days, as long as the case is clear and there is no objection, it is basically cut as soon as possible.

Now, all that was left in the lobby was the guy with a bruised nose and swollen face, and the guy who was lying on the ground and was about to choke.

"Come on, it's your turn. Zhao Hongming said.

"Your Highness, if you want to ask the villain, the villain will answer truthfully. Although this guy with a blue nose and swollen face was also trembling with fright from the head on the ground, he still mustered up his courage and said to Zhao Hongming: "But if you don't save him first, even if you want to kill my head, I won't say it." ”

This guy said very resolutely, his head knocked on the ground, and he really looked like he would ask Zhao Hongming to save his companion first even if he died.

Zhao Hongming looked at the guy lying on the ground, then looked at him again, and then looked at the guy lying on the ground, and spread his hands.

"There are requirements, why didn't you say it earlier?" Zhao Hongming said helplessly.

Just after this guy made his request, Zhao Hongming clearly saw that the guy lying on the ground finally took his last breath, and then kicked his leg and died.
