Chapter 129: The Price
Looking at the few goalkeepers who were walking in front of them a little behind them, Lei Dazhuang said proudly, and said secretly: This little Wang still has two brushes, well, it's just a little too soft. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It turned out that when he came, he was quite worried that he would not be able to rush back to the yamen in time, which disrupted Chen Fang's plan and made Chen Fang unhappy, but when he arrived at the city gate, Wang Tianlong gave him an idea, and asked him to tell the doorman who was in charge of the night vigil last night that the yamen was in an emergency and there was a shortage of manpower.
When he first heard this idea, Lei Dazhuang was half-convinced, but who knew that when he said this, not to mention the four guys who kept vigil yesterday, even a few guards on duty during the day enthusiastically signed up, so he pretended to be embarrassed, and selected these guys for a while before deciding on them.
Several gatekeepers walked briskly all the way, and when they ran to the yamen, they were startled by the crowd of people surrounding the yamen, but after looking at each other, their hearts were even more excited. Their common idea is-
Wow, it's really busy, it seems that the five taels of silver are safe!
However, when they didn't know what was going on, they walked into the yamen through the side door only to find that things were not as they imagined, not to mention the five taels of silver, even the set of pawn clothes on their bodies I didn't know if they could keep it.
"You, what do you mean, close the city gate at dusk, no, it is an ancient rule that you can't start it unless you fight, you, what evidence do you have that we open the city gate privately and let the villains go in and out?" In the face of Chen Fang and others' questions and questions, several gatekeepers answered so resolutely, but their stammering complaints and dodging eyes completely betrayed them.
They are the gatekeepers who open the door of convenience for Hong Xingwang. Chen Fang and Tang Yun glanced at each other, and they both saw the disappointment in each other's eyes.
With a "bang", the angry Chen Fang slapped it on the board and said angrily: "I'll give you a chance to explain the number of times you opened the city gate to Hong Xingwang privately and other news before you are officially promoted. ”
Don't blame Chen Fang for being angry, this kind of taking the people's hard-earned money to live happily, but being a moth that hurts the people, he has never liked it very much.
In the face of the angry Chen Fang, several gatekeepers were startled at first, but after a while, they hardened up and said disdainfully to Chen Fang: "Bah, what are you, we are soldiers of the city gate guards, belonging to the barracks, even if we want to confess, it is not our turn to explain to you." ”
Chen Fang was not very clear about the subordinates of the city gate guards, so he glanced back at Tang Yun to inquire, but it was Tang Yun's bitter nod that answered him.
Chen Fang and Tang Yun's embarrassed expressions fell into the eyes of several doormen, they were even happier, snorted disdainfully, turned around and swaggered towards the county yamen, but if Chen Fang allowed them to leave so arrogantly, then he would not be called Chen Fang.
"Stop!" Chen Fang shouted coldly, and several doormen turned to look at Chen Fang with a hooligan-like smile when they heard the voice, and said arrogantly: "What, are you going to apologize to me?" No, we adults have a lot of them, and we won't bother with you villains. ”
"Humph! You don't care about me, but I want to do with you. Chen Fang laughed angrily, these shameless guys in front of him had successfully aroused his anger, and he smiled coldly.
"You, what are you laughing at?" The doorman asked, puzzled.
"I laugh at you for being stupid, you don't know what's going on when you're dying." The gloomy tone suddenly made several doormen nervous, and they stammered, "You, what do you mean, you." ”
"What do you mean?" Chen Fangpi didn't smile, stared at the four of them with the eyes of the dead, and said quietly: "You fornicate with the thief, after he reports to the court after we report to the court, don't say that you have no chance of living, and your family will be spared." ”
Hearing this, the four doormen felt a chill on their backs for no reason, and they glanced at each other, and they all saw fear in each other's eyes, but they were still strong and calm: "Cut, you, who do you think you are, saying that we are fornicating with thieves, are we fornicating with thieves?" Is there any evidence? ”
"Huh, proof? Do you find the evidence hard to find? Chen Fang smiled coldly and said, "Do I need evidence?" How about making a copy directly? Perhaps, in order to prevent you from denying it when he is on trial, I can even say that you resist arrest and kill you on the spot, and then there is no proof of your death, even if I say that you are one of the anti-thieves, who will find the truth for you at that time? I'm afraid there will be more of them. Quack ......"
When he said this, Chen Fang's face was distorted and hideous, in fact, he didn't really mean to kill these four people on the spot, but the time was pressing, and he couldn't afford to waste more time on these small soldiers, but this distorted face fell in the eyes of outsiders, especially in the eyes of a few doormen, but it was another matter-
Ma, this man is a madman, maybe he would actually do such a thing.
Almost at the same time as Chen Fang's words fell, the four of them had already become bloodless, sweating profusely, and shivering unnaturally when they were blown by the cool summer breeze.
Seeing that the four guards were too frightened to speak, Chen Fang knew that his goal had been achieved, so he said with a tiger face: "It's still the same condition just now, before ascending to the court, explain all the bad things you have done one by one, if you don't want to, hum, you understand the end." ”
After many years of disciple career, several doormen have been intimidated by hooligans and saddened by rich and noble families, but they were threatened by the yamen, and it was the first time. Seeing this, Chen Fang decided to add the last straw for them, and said to Lei Dazhuang in a cold voice: "Little Leizi, go to the door and guard, if you dare to take half a step, kill!" Those who refuse to confess before ascending to the court, kill! ”
Two words of "kill" in a row, the awe-inspiring aura of slaughter suddenly filled the entire court, especially after Lei Dazhuang's fierce face like Zhang Fei spit out a loud "yes", the four doormen were frightened like paper, and then realized that Chen Fang was not joking, they were all too scared, and the beads of sweat smashed to the ground "tick, tick", the sound was real, and every drop added a little more pressure to their overwhelmed hearts.
Finally, someone couldn't bear this pressure, and fell to his knees with a "snap", crying and begging: "Don't, don't kill me, I'll confess, I'll say anything." ”
The small circle is a very strange group, if everyone remains silent, few people will take the initiative to jump out to find death, but once there is the first person, the second and third do not have to wait at all, and in the blink of an eye, they will follow and jump out.
Under the pressure exerted by Chen Fang, the four guards successively confessed the fact that they had opened the city gate to Hong Xingwang privately, and there were as many as three times before and after, and each time they received ten taels of cashier. Except for them, there was no fifth person in the city gate guards who knew about it, so Hong Xingwang chose to leave the city on the day they were on duty.
Although the possibility of the connector in the city was ruled out, Chen Fang and Tang Yun were not happy at all, because these guards were really just pawns, they only knew the number of times they opened the city gate privately and received silver, as for what the carriage was carrying and where it was going, they didn't know at all.
With a loud "bang", Tang Yun knocked on the shocking wood heavily, and reprimanded angrily: "You and the other four, as guards, accepted bribes, opened the city gate privately, and should be beheaded according to the law, and now you will be put in prison for the time being, and then reported to the court for another decision, and someone will take them down!" ”
Hearing that they were going to lose their heads, the four guards were all weak under their feet, crying bitterly, and saving them again and again, but Tang Yun and Chen Fang were unmoved.
Well, there is always a price to pay for making mistakes.
