Chapter 382: Coercion and Temptation
Nie Wu watched as the torture room clerk who had interrogated him for four days went with his hands behind his back, and after the remaining green-shirted warden sent people away, he didn't mean to stay for a moment at all, and beckoned a few prisoners to come over, but what he ordered was: "All the old soldiers of the Qi family have come here tonight to help guard, and not a single fly in the cell can fly in, you just have to watch the people carefully." Priest Wu is not here, I went to the front to take a nap and be lazy, this smell is too bad! ”
Liao Feng only thought that people told them that the people behind the scenes were fake news, and he must have planned to find out the people behind the scenes from their mouths, but he didn't expect that everyone was gone, and he obviously didn't plan to track it down. Thinking about it, they are all heard in other boundaries in the southeast, and this Ye County of She County is no more than a mere Qipin County Order, is it possible that he can still reach so far?
Not only was he, the leader of the Five Peaks Thieves, but the other brothers under him, including the lone thieves in the next cell, all started talking. The thought that he used to eat and drink spicy food freely outside, but now he is going to be locked up in prison and tossed, everyone hates it. Some people even smashed the shackles on their hands and feet in annoyance, and shouted angrily: "Don't let Lao Tzu know who it is, otherwise as long as Lao Tzu can get out of trouble in the future, this guy must be good-looking!" ”
The echoes came and went, all scolding and swearing. At this time, a voice suddenly came from the corner: "Could it be the third uncle?" ”
As soon as the three words of Uncle Gao came out, the two cells were quiet for a moment. This senior uncle is a legend on the road, and when he first debuted decades ago, he made the snakes crying and calling his mother everywhere. It has a great reputation for robbing the rich and helping the poor. Then he suddenly disappeared and retired. But ten years ago, this reappeared, and that time it was to repel a group of blind thieves who robbed him. When he revealed that he was the third uncle, he immediately enjoyed the treatment of being worshipped, and in the end, there were even a few young people who volunteered to serve as servants, which was another sensation.
But after a moment of silence, Nie Wu sneered and said, "What Senior Uncle, do you know who that Senior Uncle is?" That is the brother-in-law of the first high pavilion elder today. Two Jinshi, who served as the general constitution of the Admiral Cao Jiang, fought the Japanese Kou, and died three years ago! I think I used to worship such a person at the beginning, and after hearing the news of his reappearance, I deliberately went to investigate, who knew that it would be such a result! ”
The third uncle of Gao turned out to be a two-list jinshi, an official of the imperial court, and the elder brother of the current leader?
I don't know how many people have been shocked by such news, and some people want to refute it, but they can't find an explanation. Liao Feng had heard Nie Wu mention this stubble. At this time, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought. As the leader of the Five Peaks Thieves, the reason why he had the same suspicion as he had said before that there was a problem with the news. Of course, it's a little more calculating than someone who only scolds secretly. But if they really have to be locked up for three or five years, those former clues have long since turned into spring mud, where can they still be found?
At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice from outside. I thought it was the previous torture room official who wanted to capture him, but he was just happy in his heart, but then he found that the two cells leading the way were leading a young man who had never seen before. The young man was dressed in a different color from the previous green-shirted warden, and he was several years younger, and he was a handsome man with a crepe style, looking at his clothes and demeanor, as if he was a noble son of a big family, how could he not appear in such a cell at night.
Not only did Liao Feng feel strange, but the other thieves in the two cells were all puzzled by the appearance of such a young man who was out of place in this environment, but fortunately, the people who came didn't let them guess for too long.
"Contemptible She County, Songming Mountain, Wang Fulin."
The name Wang Fulin has been even more popular in the prefecture and county town for several days, even if these thieves are not Huizhou locals at the moment, but they are all very familiar with this name.
Because the Taihu Lake bandit boss and one of his henchmen, it is said that this Wang Fulin and a servant girl of the Ye family joined forces to kill! As for who kills whom, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if the killing is a loss of flour or a sneak attack, they only know that Boss Ge has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and finally planted in the hands of such a gentle and harmless little Xiucai!
After the initial silence, everyone was guessing Wang Fulin's intention, but no one rashly asked. So, it was Wang Fulin who took the initiative to open his mouth: "Ye County respects me for the grace of knowing things, this time Shexian suddenly swarmed so many thieves, he was almost poisoned by Taihu Lake thieves, although I killed people unexpectedly, but I really can't swallow this breath!" I heard that you have come to She County from the southeast, all because of rumors, the county is suffering from rumors from the outside, and I don't want to spend more energy on investigation, but I don't want to stop there. So, I just want to ask you, is there a clue to the origin of the rumor? ”
Wang Fulin said bluntly, and the first twenty people in the cell couldn't help but think about it. At this time, Liao Feng was the first to ask, "What's the benefit of what we said?" ”
"Although I am only a student, I also have some say in the one acre and three points of land in Huizhou, and the crime of robbing prisoners at the gate of the county government is not trivial, if you really know, I can promise to ask the county to be lenient, but the premise is ...... Don't fool me with your words! If there is no basis for the opening of the river, then it will be dealt with severely. ”
"Lightly haired?" At this time, a thief's contemptuous voice came from the side, "The scar of cutting off the head is not the size of a bowl, and after twenty years, he will be a good man again!" If you want to be able to pick up a life, it's a big deal to fill the army! ”
Liao Feng didn't expect Wang Fulin to speak so thoroughly. There were rumors on the street that Wang Fulin and a servant girl teamed up to save Ye Junyao's life, but he had always had an attitude of disbelief in this, but at this moment he had to believe seven points. He was silent for a while, and then sneered: "The little official thinks that we thieves with our heads pinned to the waistband of our pants will be afraid of death? ”
"Even if a robbery is a capital crime, as long as it doesn't hurt people's lives, it's just a miscellaneous capital crime, or it won't die, it's a big deal to send Gansu Shanxi Liaodong and other places to confiscate the army, if you can be sentenced to confiscate the army, how many of you 20 people will be responsible for transporting them? Traditionally, the liberation of the army has been a first-class drudgery, costing the people and money, and isn't it a chance for you to escape? As for miscellaneous capital crimes, if they are detained for a few years, maybe the court will grant amnesty. But what if it is a hundred rods, and three years? How many people have endured a hundred rods and three years of hard labor? You must know that there are many quarries in Huizhou City, such as quarrying or logging in forest farms, and there have always been few people to do it. ”
Liao Feng's pupils contracted suddenly. A hundred canes can be light or heavy, like Nie Wu, who is already covered in bruises, I am afraid that if I take a beating, I will really lose my life, and the rest of the people will definitely have to shed their skin. When the time comes, before you can heal your wounds, you will be driven to hard labor with a whip, and you will work endlessly every day, which is indeed worse than the death penalty or the conscription of the army!
Sure enough, Wang Fulin's words caused a lot of commotion. Among those lone thieves, many of them scolded loudly, and even some foul language directly hurt their parents. Liao Feng saw that Wang Fulin was silent, thinking that this little show was good at forbearance, but he didn't want Wang Fulin to tell the two prisoners behind him without looking back: "Who insulted my parents, you all recognize them one by one?" ”
"Don't worry, the little officials have recognized it, and I'll give them a little color when I turn around!"
In an instant, the scolding came to an abrupt end. People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and in this big prison, the cell head and the prison are like the emperor of the soil, and asking for people's lives is to repay a death, not to mention that they are thieves who are alone in the first place?
"Now, if anyone has a clue, then they can say it!"
This time, as soon as Wang Fulin's voice fell, there were several voices scrambling. However, Wang Fulin instructed the prisoners to take the people one by one to the interrogation room for questioning.
According to the express system, except for Jinyiwei, the rest of the courts, such as the judicial department and the prefecture and county, which have the power of judicial adjudication, can only be tortured in the public court, and cannot be tortured in private. But the system belongs to the system, the rules are the rules, and in the Shexian prison, like other prison cells in other places, there is a room dedicated to interrogating prisoners.
In the corner was a blistering stove with a handful of soldering irons that had been burned red from the heat. On the walls hung several leather whips of varying widths, the color of which was as if soaked in blood. On the wooden shelves on the side, there are clash sticks, wattles, and fingers, and every thing exudes an eerie atmosphere, reminding everyone who comes in here how much trouble they will suffer if they keep their mouths shut. All of this is to increase the psychological pressure of the person being tried, because the way of torture is to attack the heart!
But at this moment, Wang Fulin, who is sitting on the main seat, is more stressful than those bloody torture instruments. Because it was a separate questioning, it was not that the prisoners who were escorted in had some kind of thoughts, so how could Wang Fulin sit there with a sword in his hand, and everyone had to weigh the possibility of holding people hostage in such a heavily guarded place. As a result, everyone who claims to have clues is trying their best to justify their own statements, and there is even no shortage of people who say it vividly. There was even a well-informed person who was well-informed after arriving in She County, and found out that the former Huiningchi Taidao Sub-Inspector Wang Ruzheng and Ye Junyao had grievances, and splashed dirty water on Wang Ruzheng in one mouthful.
From beginning to end, Wang Fulin was noncommittal, and only kept all these various clues true and false in mind, until a burly Liao Feng wearing heavy shackles was escorted in. As usual, he signaled the two cells escorted to wait outside, and as soon as Liao Feng and the others left, he said bluntly: "The little official should have heard a lot of clues before, I don't want to evaluate whether what others heard is true or false, but I can tell you that as far as I know, it is the same person who contacted Boss Ge and the Wufeng thief." If you believe me, I will take this life alive! ”
I just heard so many clues about all kinds of gambling curses and swearing, except for Wang Ruzheng, who may be a little possible, the other Wang Fulin didn't believe it at all. At this moment, the man in front of him actually made such a condition, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, thought about it quickly, and finally said noncommittally: "After the court concludes your case tomorrow, I will give you an answer." ”
