The other two ends were solved for the time being, and when they arrived at the gate of the county party, County Lieutenant Liu took a deep breath, and then turned to look at Du Shiyi and Cui Xiaofatzi and said: "Du Langjun, Cui Langjun, this case is very important, you two are the victims, can you follow me to see Zhao Mingfu?" ”

If in the past, Cui Xiaofat would have been arbitrary, but at this moment, he glanced at Du Shiyi, and when he saw that he nodded without hesitation, he had the strength to agree, and then turned his head to look at the few family members behind him and said: "I will follow Liu Shaofu to see Zhao Mingfu here, you go back to the guest house first, and say to Sister and Du Niangzi." ”

Zhao County Ling of Taolin County is in his early sixties this year, and he has stumbled all his life before he is where he is now, so the most admired is the rule of Huang Laozhi, and there was a sudden theft lawsuit during his tenure, and he was so worried that his head was broken. At this moment, when the county lieutenant Liu came in first, reporting that Cui Erlang, the son of the Cui clan of Qinghe, the son of the Cui clan of Zhao Guogong, and Cui Twenty-five Lang, the nephew of Cui Taizhi, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, were almost assassinated in Taolin County, he was even more scalp, and he almost felt that he was going crazy.

"Cui Twenty-five Lang is outside, can you see the Ming Mansion?"

"See...... No, it's still gone, and you say I'm sick and can't get out of bed! This Zhao county commander gritted his teeth, then rubbed his head with a sigh, and said with a bitter face, "I have a headache these days, since it is something you encountered, I will leave it to you to do it, and I will definitely agree to come to Zhang County Cheng Chen." Those who can work harder, and in the sub-period, you will take more care for the county! ”

When County Lieutenant Liu came out of the county commander's private room, he smiled at Du Shiyi and Cui Twenty-five Lang, and said in a low voice: "I have asked for this matter, and I have handed it over, and the two of you will go with me to Zhang Xiancheng and Master Chen's place first, after all, since what happened, we must all inform them and see what they say." ”

Just as Zhao County Ling used his illness to push and prevaricate without saying a word, Zhao Guogong and Cui Shangshu's nephew were almost assassinated in Taolin County, from the main book to the county magistrate, and another county lieutenant, who listened to it and wanted to stay away, so when Liu County Lieutenant hinted that he would try to persuade Cui Twenty-five Lang to settle the case in private, they couldn't ask for it. After all, when Guo Tingshi in Shaanzhou repeatedly ordered the investigation of the major theft case to no avail, no one wanted to make any more trouble. When this circle was completed, when County Lieutenant Liu led the way out of the county party and got on the horse, he was very sincere to Du Shiyi and Cui Xiaofatzi behind him.

"Du Langjun, Cui Langjun, although I am a lowly official, after all, I have been in the county lieutenant for a few years, can the next trial also be handed over to me?"

Cui Xiaofat was already a little absent-minded, so he didn't raise his head at this time and snorted. Du Shiyi thought of Liu County's jīng gan, and also readily agreed: "In this case, then there will be Lao Liu Shaofu." ”

A basin of cold water was poured on his head, and Shi Wanxing immediately woke up. The burning pain on his face and from his various wounds made him quickly realize his situation. However, looking around at the surrounding environment, there was only one county lieutenant Liu before the meeting, and there was no Du Shiyi and Cui Twenty-five Lang, and Cui Ting, the big man who had caught up with him before three times and divided by two, and even beat himself to the point of vomiting blood, was nowhere to be seen, even if he was locked tightly at the moment, he still had a glimmer of hope.

The young man surnamed Du next to Cui Xiaofat is so difficult, but this Liu County Lieutenant can scare one or two to fool the past!

"Shi Wanxing, the innkeeper and the bartender have all been tried and sent to the county government to be imprisoned, even if you don't confess, just rely on the stolen goods in your arms, and you assassinated Cui Langjun, what kind of crime is according to the law, don't you need to tell me?" Seeing that Shi Wanxing clenched his teeth and didn't make a sound, Liu County Lieutenant persuaded bitterly, "Even if there is only one pearl hairpin, it is the heaviest first-class among the thieves, with a hundred rods, ten years in prison, and exile." The attempted assassination caused injuries to Cui Twenty-five Lang and hanging. What's more, there are many people who see it in front of everyone's eyes, and the matter is getting bigger, even if General Wang protects you, will the Cui family watch their children almost suffer? ”

"What do you think?"

Hearing such an answer, Du Shiyi, who was staying outside the door, moved in his heart, listened to it again, and came from Liu County's gentle answer: "Since you said that you are the team leader of Zuo Yu Linwei, it is better to settle the dispute, and I don't want to blindly investigate it." Therefore, this is not the county prison room, but the private room outside. You just have to tell the truth of the matter, and afterwards I can ask Du Langjun and Cui Langjun for a favor and let you go. Think about it, Cui Langjun Du Langjun is famous, and he may not be afraid of General Wang, but I am from a humble background, how can I want to make things bigger? ”

"County Lieutenant Liu is a smart person." Shi Wanxing saw that County Lieutenant Liu sat down cross-legged opposite him despite the pickles on the ground, as if he was a little sincere, he thought about it again and again, thinking that if he didn't deter this county lieutenant who seemed to be a little timid and scared, he still couldn't get out, so he sneered, "What is there to say!" The group of businessmen who had made a big theft case before had to show their wealth in front of Xiao Xiaowei, Xiao Xiaowei was already thinking about the first birthday banquet of Huo Guogong Shilangjun and didn't know what to give a heavy gift, so how could he introduce them as if he offered a peerless treasure? ”

Shi Wanxing paused for a moment, and said nonchalantly: "Everyone had to make a vote halfway, as for the young man I met halfway, I found someone who was good at roosters and dogs to steal drugs, and after the matter was completed, he would have been cut down and eradicated." As for the hairpin, it's my share! Telling you this, it is for you to weigh it yourself, Captain Xiao and his sister are the concubines of General Wanqi Ge, and he himself is also able to speak in front of General Ge and General Wang! As for me, I am also the most important person of Captain Xiao! Therefore, because it was very beneficial for Xiao Xiaowei to do this, he asked me to stay and see if there was a chance to repeat the old tricks. As for other things, they have long been dedicated to General Wang Da and General Ge Da, do you think they can be recovered? ”

At this time, he has to pull up the tiger skin to make a big banner, he stayed because he found an excuse to ask for leave to visit relatives, and wanted to take the opportunity to do a few more votes.

As soon as these words came out, inside

Liu County Lieutenant has rich experience and can still hold it, and Cui Xiaochubby outside is already pale. Seeing that he could barely stand on his feet, Du Shiyi grabbed his arm tightly, and then whispered, "Listen well!" ”

I only heard the county lieutenant Liu in the middle of the room ask again: "What about Cui Langjun?" ”

"The little fat man? I stayed in Taolin County, I just wanted to see it, but there was still a chance, who knew that he was running around the streets when it was almost night. The inn had a bad reputation, and the bartender was greedy for money, and I stayed with them for two years, and they didn't even know what I was doing, because the business was not good, I took people and gave them benefits, so naturally I said how they did it. I thought of that caravan, to find out the whereabouts of those good things, and I went back to repeat my old tricks, who knew that you would kill them halfway!

As for the assassination, I'm just trying to get away with him! Okay, I've said everything I can say, I advise you, instead of going back and discussing with those two stinky kids, it's better to make your own decision and let me go! It was in the Eastern Capital that I followed Captain Xiao in and out of the power gate, and those dignitaries were also polite to us! Stay with each other, and when you move your official position, I can still do you a favor! ”

Hearing this, County Lieutenant Liu was silent for a long time, and Zuihou asked: "You said that you belong to the North Gate Forbidden Army, do you have a certificate?" ”

"I can't believe you didn't find that talisman on me!"

County Lieutenant Liu naturally searched for it, and deliberately went to the post house to compare the appearance of the surviving letters, and also deliberately went to inquire about the people around Captain Xiao, but few people paid attention to this kind of detail. After asking such a question at this moment, he couldn't help but take a deep breath that had been confirmed in his heart, and then suddenly slapped his face twice. As Cui Ting pushed the door outside and walked in, Shi Wanxing suddenly saw that there were Du Shiyi and Cui Xiaochubby at the door, and suddenly realized that he had fallen into a big trap. So, when Cui Ting lifted him like an eagle catching a chicken, a few slaps slapped him dizzy, and he only had time to blurt out an angry shout.

"The surname is Liu, even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go!"

When Cui Ting knocked the person unconscious again, Du Shiyi dragged Cui Twenty-five Lang, who was all in the wood, into this dimly lit room, only to see Liu County Lieutenant turn around calmly. The county lieutenant Liu, who had just deceived the dead and did not pay for his life, coughed lightly, and then said thoughtfully: "Since the innkeeper and the guy don't know anything, this matter is easy to handle." If those people harbor the gangsters one by one, go down to the prison cell, and come to interrogate them, the matter can be resolved. As for this person, it's not that I'm cowardly, I'm afraid what he confided before is not true, but even so, he is so good at biting, and he can't say how much trouble he will be involved in, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go down to investigate. ”

Cui Xiaofat gritted his teeth and was about to refute, but before the words came out, he couldn't help but glance at Du Shiyi on the side, and seeing that he was silent, he said angrily: "It's all up to Liu Shaofu to deal with." ”

With this sentence, Du Shiyi didn't say much, and Liu County Wei was very settled. Taking the unconscious Shi Wanxing to the side hall used by the county party to try the case, he went to see Zhao County Order again, and without much effort, he asked for the necessary signature and sentence during the torture, and then returned satisfied. Seeing that his trusted henchman poured a bowl of medicine into Shi Wanxing, he ordered his hands to be tightly locked in shackles, and then called the messengers to list the left and right, and asked Du Shiyi and Cui Twenty-five Lang to sit together, and Zuihou splashed Shi Wanxing up with another bowl of cold water.

"Plundering caravan property and assassinating wealthy officials, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, you can confess!"

Shi Wanxing heard this shout again, and his mind finally cleared up. However, when he opened his mouth, he only felt that his voice was hoarse and he couldn't say a word, and he was shocked for a while. However, before he could come up with other methods, he saw that County Lieutenant Liu was shocked, and he shouted loudly: "The evidence of the crime is conclusive, but he refuses to confess, and he should be tortured according to the law!" Zhao Mingfu has filed a case and sentenced the same sentence, allowing torture, coming, on the interrogation staff, first torture sixty! ”

Du Shiyi not only copied the "Yonghui Law", but also studied the law. The Tang Dynasty torture rod is of the third grade, the flogging cane is the thinnest, the regular cane used for cane punishment is in the center, and the interrogation cane used to torture prisoners is the thickest, which is more than half thicker than the small head of the cane. Moreover, the cane hits the legs and buttocks, and whether it is a regular cane or an interrogation cane that tortures a prisoner, in addition to the legs and buttocks of the cane, it also needs to be carried by the cane, which is the most painful. And compared to the official staff, the most terrible thing is the palace cane that needs to be carried on the back, in that case to survive, or at least not to be crippled, unless the guards are bribed. Of course, except for the period when cool officials were rampant, at other times, those extrajudicial torture instruments were all strictly forbidden.

As soon as the words fell, I saw a messenger with a tiger's back holding a signal staff that did not look very thick in both hands, and after saluting in front of Liu County Lieutenant, when even if there were left and right messengers took the torture stool, Shi Wanxing was put up, and his legs were tightly tied. With the sound of execution, I saw that the news staff carried a sharp wind sound, and went to Shi Wanxing's back with a cane.

Cui Xiaofat has beaten and scolded the servant, but let alone him, even the rest of the Cui family rarely uses torture tools such as canes, at this moment, listening to the whirring wind, more than ten canes went down in a flash, Shi Wanxing's back and hips and legs were full of flesh and blood, and he was simply stunned. And Du Shiyi, who was also experiencing this scene for the first time, couldn't help but feel that her breathing was getting heavier. Shi Wanxing, who was obviously dumbfounded by the medicine, was still trying his best to make a whirring sound in his mouth at first, but his voice gradually weakened, especially whenever the seemingly small signal rod fell heavily on his back, he saw that his whole face seemed to twitch together.

It was easy to finish the sixty interrogation rods, and seeing that Shi Wanxing was already unconscious, Liu County Lieutenant said: "If you don't confess, you will be detained first, and then tortured after 20 days!" ”

When he sent Du Shiyi and Cui Xiaofatzi out, he said in a low voice: "Torture according to law, if it still causes death, it doesn't matter." If Du Langjun and Cui Langjun want to set off, they might as well go, and I will handle this case to the end. If he was just talking nonsense before, then he could still spare a life, if it was true...... You can rest assured. ”
