The tiger is in front, and Futong is pressed behind. The idlers who are threaded together by hemp rope are like grasshoppers that can't jump for a few days in autumn, like dry weeds at their feet, shrugging their heads and depressed.

Originally, more than a dozen people in the cottage sat in a shed that was not crowded at all, but after more than a dozen people were stuffed, it became crowded.

The little helper and the boss who are dealt with separately are now completely in two states.

After going through the stage of last night's enthusiasm and not being afraid of death, Xiao Bangxian became a little scared. The boss has changed from yesterday's trembling and weak heels to today's dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.

The villagers sat in a row, Chen Yuansheng sat in the front and the center, and he said to these idlers in the city, "Last night, you attacked our grain truck, but fortunately there were not too many casualties. I brought you here today to ask if you have done any bad things, and what bad things you have done.

Be lenient in confession and strict in resisting. Those who commit the most heinous crimes are naturally not exempt from death, and those who commit minor crimes and are excusable can be dealt with lightly.

I won't say more nonsense, let's start now. ”

Chen Yuansheng glanced at Futong, and Futong dragged the first idler to the clearing.

The idler was a little stunned, he didn't understand what was going on at first, but when Futong walked away, he found that it was him, and he panicked all of a sudden.

"Zhai ...... The owner of the village...... I'm a good person. According to the routine of being caught in the past, the stunned man immediately began to cry, "The owner of the village, there is an eighty-year-old mother on the small one, and there is a child waiting to be fed, you can let the little one go." ”

Chen Yuansheng looked at the stunned man's very exaggerated and contrived performance, with a handful of snot and tears, and did not smile, he said with a serious expression, "Tell me honestly, we will not wronged you." ”

The stunned man didn't speak, but other idlers shouted, "You guys are setting up a private court!" If you have the ability, you will send us to the yamen and let the county magistrate judge judge us! ”

"Sorry, we couldn't do it. If you think that there is a private court here, you can run out and go to the county government office yourself. Of course, the premise is to be able to run out first. Chen Yuansheng didn't follow the meaning of the idler, but patted the wooden gun beside him.

This person named Huan was stabbed with a wooden gun yesterday, and he saw Chen Yuansheng shoot a wooden gun, and his momentum fell to the bottom. Like a deflated balloon, he muttered, "There is no royal law left." ”

"Yes, but we've got the final say here." After Chen Yuansheng finished speaking, he slapped the wooden gun again.

The idler was choked and speechless.

The interrogation continued.

The atmosphere became more and more serious, and the stunned man gradually couldn't hold it anymore, and began to tell the mistakes he had made one by one.

"I, I stole five baked cakes from Wang Ji's baked cake shop, and robbed the honey of the children. …… Also, I robbed a few times with the boss......"

Except for robbery, it's basically a small thing, maybe a little bit bigger than a trivial matter.

Chen Yuansheng took a charcoal pen made of charcoal, recorded everything that the stunned man said on the stone, examined it and said, "It's not a big mistake, it's a year of labor reform." ”

"Next ......"

"I stole the Zhang family's chicken, the Li family's duck, and Zhao Si, who asked for food, grabbed the territory and kicked him...... Also, I have robbed a few times with the boss. ”

The second idler, who looked a little strong, looked very honest about his evil deeds.

"One year and three months of labor reform."

"Next ......"

"I, I haven't done anything bad, village master, you, just spare me. I'm the same as the two of them, I steal a chicken and touch a dog, and I don't dare to do anything like murder. ”

"Labor reform for one year."

One after another, one after another.

The people in front have all finished the trial, and the only ones left are the little gang and the boss.

"I peeked at Sister Yufeng taking a bath, robbed the money, and grabbed the big cake." The little helper said.

"Labor reform for one year."

In the end, it was the boss's turn.

The boss came to the center of the clearing, kept his mouth shut and did not say a word.

"Be lenient in confession, and strict in resisting." Chen Yuansheng knocked the charcoal in his hand on the stone and said.

An open space is an open space, and there is not even a shed. The scorching sun shone on the whole body, and no one would feel comfortable. The previous criminals spoke one by one, in addition to the deterrence of the wooden guns and Futong, there were also reasons, which were the sun in the sky and the scoop containing the cold well water that could be obtained after the interrogation.

"Why do you think I'm so unlucky? Yes? The boss spoke, "No matter what, I was also born in Xiucai's family, but in the second year of my birth, my grandfather Xiucai died." Then the family was separated, and my uncompetitive father, who didn't divide the field, didn't get the land, and he got a bunch of broken books. Even Xiucai didn't get admitted to the exam until he died.

By the time I was holding these books and trying to read them, the fire had burned my house. The few books in the collection were borrowed by the master book, and they were asked for it, and they were beaten up and thrown on the street.

Then, I became an idler. Don't look at them all calling me the boss, if I can't fill their stomachs, my boss is a fart.

No, I'm hungry, and I'm looking for something to eat. I went out of the city with you, and walked so far, and my mind waited for you to be tired, so I grabbed it and left.

Alas, how could I have thought that you were an iron plate, and Lao Tzu's feet were all swollen.

If you catch it, you will be caught, and if you want to kill, you must scrape and listen to it.

But you will interrogate us and make us tell us what we are guilty of. Those who have the ability to go to the city to be officials, scholars, and businessmen, they have done many bad things, and they can't finish it with baskets, and they can't cut off their heads a few times.

If you ask us what bad things we've done, we'll sneak up on the chickens and dogs, watch the widows take a bath, and at most grab guns from outsiders. What else can we do?

Step into someone else's territory a little bit, and be fed to the dog by the corpse in minutes.

Don't you believe me? Think I'm telling a lie? Think we're too honest?

Believe it or not, those who are not honest are long dead. ”

After the boss finished venting, he stopped talking.

Chen Yuansheng thought for a while, and finally said, "Labor reform for two years. ”
