Chapter Thirty-Seven: Something Happened
Hearing the three men answer "yes" in unison, Liu Si and Wang Tiezhu were almost paralyzed. Without waiting for Yue Su to continue the interrogation, Liu Si shouted loudly: "My lord...... The little people are willing to recruit and ask the adults to be kind and spare their lives...... Spare Xiaomin this time ......"
Wang Tiezhu also shouted: "My lord...... Spare your life, sir...... The little one is willing to recruit ......"
"I cried when I saw the coffin, and now that the matter has been revealed, you have remembered to move, what did you do earlier!" Yue Su slapped the public case heavily and said angrily: "It's late! ”
As he spoke, Yue Su pointed to a man below and asked loudly, "Tell me, what are your plans for gathering people here?" ”
"Go back to your lordship......" The man saw Yue Su pointing at him, his heart trembled with fright, and he hurriedly said: "It was the prefect palace lord who arranged for us to come, and the palace lord ordered, saying that if he saw that Diao people came to the governor's yamen to complain, he resolutely did not let them in, and he must stop them at the street entrance." ”
"Diao Min's complaint?" Yue Su glared at him and shouted, "In your eyes, what kind of people are counted as Diao people? ”
"This ...... In fact, it is said that he has been exploited and bullied in the past...... And no one is in charge...... The little common people ......" the man stammered and finished his words.
"Oh? It turns out that such poor people are counted as Diao people in your eyes? Yue Su said coldly.
"No, no......" The man hurriedly shook his head and said hurriedly: "My lord, in fact, the prefect calls them Diao Min, and the little ones have never been, and they are also very sympathetic to them." ”
"Don't be afraid, for the sake of your voluntary confession, the ministry doesn't care about you. And I ask you, if there are any people passing by here, how can you tell which one is coming to complain and which is not? Also, after interception, how is it generally treated? Yue Su asked again.
"If you go back to your lordship, most of the governor's side live in rich families, and you have also seen that the houses around here are not small. So, once a shabby-clothed people pass by, that's it. If there is one who insists on not leaving and wants to pass, it must be to sue undoubtedly, we ...... We're going to beat it up...... One more warning......" the man said truthfully.
"There is still this plan, that Gong Naisen is ruthless enough. By the way, how many people have you stopped here, and have you ever caused a lot of death? ”
"We didn't stop many here, only four or five in total in the past two days, and no one was killed." The man said tremblingly.
"The ministry has taken your word for the time being. Just now you said that the people living around here are rich families, and even so, there will be people coming and going from time to time, why don't you see a single figure when you go out of the main courtyard? Yue Su expressed the doubts in his heart.
"This ...... This is mainly because the reputation of the adults is too great, and when the rich people in the neighborhood heard that the adults were coming, they either moved away, or they didn't dare to go out, for fear of being bumped into by the adults. The man replied honestly.
"I see, I didn't expect the main institute to have such a reputation." Yue Su nodded slightly, and then his gaze swept to Wang Tiezhu and Liu Si. secretly said in his heart: "Things have come to this point, and we should also give these people a knock on the mountain and make them all honest." ”
After making up his mind, Yue Su glared at him and said loudly: "The Ministry of Appropriate Talents has words first, if anyone dares to deceive the Ministry of Hospitals, it is equivalent to deceiving the current emperor!" The crime of bullying the king should be beheaded all over the door, and the ministry is now said to be extrajudicial, as long as the two of you are headed! ”
Speaking of this, Yue Su stood up and shouted, "Open the guillotine!" ”
Tie Qiu had already been itching his hands, and he thought that Yue Su couldn't move the knife today, but as soon as he heard the "open guillotine", his spiritual head immediately came, and he took off the yellow silk covering the guillotine and pulled the guillotine.
When Liu Si and Wang Tiezhu saw that they were really going to do it, they were so frightened that they kowtowed like pounding garlic, and wept bitterly: "My lord, spare my life...... Adults spare their lives...... The villain is also acting on orders......"
"Humph!" Yue Su snorted coldly and said loudly: "The headquarters of the academy beheaded you, not because you acted for the tiger, but because you dared to deceive the current emperor!" Around! Still stunned! ”
The errand officer on the side, who dared to slack off, someone immediately held down Liu Si and Wang Tiezhu, and then sent Wang Tiezhu under the knife first.
Yue Su pulled out the fire stick, raised his hand and threw it down, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Guillotine! ”
"Click!"
Wang Tiezhu's head immediately rolled to the ground, the body hung down weakly, and Liu Si, who was kneeling on the side, was so frightened that he "rattled" and turned his back to breath. The other men who were kneeling on the ground saw Wang Tiezhu, who was still alive just now, and in the blink of an eye, they were all moved, all of them were trembling, and there was the timid one, so they quickly covered their eyes and didn't dare to look at it again.
Tie Qiu pulled the guillotine away again, and the messenger helped Liu Si, who had already fainted, to the knife, Yue Su took out another fire pick and threw it down. "Guillotine!"
"Flutter!"
Liu Si's head also rolled to the ground.
Cutting off two heads in a row, those men were all shocked, and their faces turned blue. At this time, no one spoke in the public hall, but then it was not silent, and the sound of upper teeth hitting lower teeth came and went.
Yue Su didn't let people collect the corpses, but only asked Tie Qiu to retreat to the side with the errand soldiers. After a while, Tong Zhou came in to report that the three shops had been sealed, and all the people inside had been arrested, so please send them down.
Yue Su changed his original intention and told him that he didn't have to be escorted to the back office, and he brought them all to the main hall. The people in these three shops are similar to those in Ruyi Restaurant, and they are all in their twenties and thirties. When they went up to the lobby, when they saw the dog's head there, Liu Si and Wang Tiezhu were already in different places, and they were all stupid. Without waiting for the messenger to kick them, they all took the initiative to kneel on the ground, kowtowing one by one, "My lord, spare my life...... Adults spare their lives......"
When they went to the court, they were all lucky, thinking that there was nothing big about it, and they might be able to get away with a little lie. The later group of people also had the same mind, and they had already prepared their words in their hearts. I plan to cry out as soon as I come to court.
But as soon as he saw this scene, who would dare to be lucky, the lines he had just prepared were immediately forgotten, and he didn't know anything except kowtowing and begging for mercy. It's a complete mess.
Yue Su sneered and said, "Okay, don't knock." To tell you the truth, Wang Tiezhu and the others were found out by the headquarters because they deceived the headquarters, so they cut off the heads of the two of them with a dog's head. If you don't like to have a long life, just follow their example, and the main courtyard will prepare two more reed mats here. ”
"My lord, I don't dare to wait...... I will never dare to deceive my lords......" the men said in a hurry.
"Now the ministry is asking you, do you know why you all came here?" Yue Su asked coldly.
If there were no corpses here, these people would definitely say they didn't know. But now, who dared to pretend to be confused, and immediately replied: "Back to the adult, the small people know." ”
"It's good to know. Tell me about it yourself......" A smile appeared on Yue Su's face.
Kneel down everyone, look at me, I look at you, but you are not willing to take the initiative to speak. Seeing that he didn't take the initiative, Yue Su pointed to a burly man in front of him and said, "Come on!" ”
Seeing Yue Su pointing his finger at him, the burly man's heart trembled, but he didn't dare not say it, and stammered: "The villain is waiting for Feng...... The order of the prefect's palace lord...... Hereon...... Here is a special attempt to rob the people who came to complain...... Now it is recognized by adults...... I hope that your sins will be forgiven...... The villains and others are just doing what they are told......"
"Count yourself honest." Yue Su bowed slightly, and said, "What kind of errands are you doing under Gong Naisen?" ”
"Some of us are the family members of the palace lord's house, and some of the palace lords are hired from outside." The burly man replied truthfully.
"Gong Naisen is quite rich, and he can afford to support so many people. I heard that after hearing that the headquarters had crossed the Yellow River, your palace lord transferred all the money and property in his family to other places, I don't know where he moved it? Yue Su asked again.
The reason why he wanted to ask these people who were arrested later was because these people didn't know what Yue Su had plucked out of the mouths of the people at Ruyi Restaurant before. With the two corpses in the hall, it is enough for the latecomers not to dare to hide it.
"If you go back to your lordship, the people who transferred the family property for your palace lord are all your confidants, and we don't know which outer house they are transporting to." The burly man replied.
"And who knows?" Yue Su said coldly.
"The people who went there don't seem to have come back yet. However, the villain estimated that in addition to the palace master himself, the housekeeper Gong Yu must know. ”
"Good." Yue Su nodded with satisfaction and said, "You can estimate for the headquarters again, how much silver Gong Naisen can have?" ”
"This ...... The villain did not dare to speak up...... But estimate...... Hundreds of thousands of taels should be able to have......"
After getting this number, Yue Su was even more satisfied, and said with a smile: "Let them draw them one by one." If anyone thinks he is wrong, he can bring it up, and the ministry will interrogate him again. ”
What the burly man said was the truth, how could anyone dare to refute it, when Yang Yishan brought the confession, they all signed and drew it in turn.
Yue Su looked at Tong Zhou and said, "Tong Guan, Yin Zhu, you two go to the prefect's yamen with a fire sign, and bring Gong Naisen and the housekeeper Gong Yu to me!" ”
"Subordinates obey!"
Tong Zhou received the fire lot, ordered a hundred officials with Yin Zhu, and immediately went out and rushed to the prefect's yamen.
There were hundreds of people in Yue Sutang, and it took a lot of effort to sign and draw the charge one by one, and all those who finished the drawing were taken to the prison first, leaving only the two men who confessed one after another. The dog's head and the two dead bodies, Yue Su has not yet asked anyone to clean up, he is going to wait for Gong Naisen to arrive in the hall and show it to the palace prefect.
By the time all the men in the hall had finished drawing and were put in prison, Yin Zhu had already led several servants back. As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw Yin Zhu bowing down and saying, "My lord, it's not good, something is wrong?" ”
Hearing this, Yue Su was stunned in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
