Chapter 22: The Big Case Is Solved

The oil pan is splashed with boiling oil, and if you put your hand in it, you will immediately look like a crispy fried chicken.

Being dragged to the side of the oil pot, Ge Zhi's face turned green with fright, and while struggling, he shouted, "My lord...... My lord...... Wronged......"

Yue Su didn't pay attention to his shouts at all, but said unhappily: "You waste, four people do it, why haven't you pressed his hand into the oil pot yet, is there a lack of training!" ”

As soon as he heard the adult's tone was not good, the four errand servants were in a hurry, and they punched and kicked Ge Zhi, scolding: "Damn it, you give me honesty, if you don't want to suffer, you can make a happy move, if you want to be a tough guy but don't want to be punished, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world!" ”

"Who said no, we were scolded by adults...... another messenger punched Ge Zhi twice in the lower abdomen, and then pulled his arm and pressed it directly into the oil pot.

Ge Zhi's palm had already felt the heat of the boiling oil at this moment, and his spirit completely collapsed, and he shouted loudly, "Don't, don't...... I'm ...... I'll recruit ......"

Not to mention the pain of having your hands fried, let's just say that after your hands are fried, they are not completely wasted. In this situation, Ge Zhi understood that he was stubborn to the end, and what awaited him was endless torture. This is not an ordinary small case, you confess to be lenient and will sit in prison, and if you resist strictness, you may go home for the New Year, such a big case, as long as you are found to be involved, you will die, and if you don't recruit, you will be tortured to death. Horizontally and vertically is a death, it is better to have a good time, and the taste of life is worse than death is more uncomfortable. Maybe if you recruit it, you can still have some livelihood.

"Stop!" Seeing that Ge Zhi agreed to confess, Yue Su hurriedly opened his mouth to stop, and said, "Pull Ge Zhi back for me!" ”

"Count you kid acquaintance!" The messenger muttered beside Ge Zhi and pulled him to his knees at the bottom of the stairs.

Now Ge Zhi immediately rushed up and kowtowed after kneeling, "Adult, small wish." In fact, the villain is just an errand runner, and he didn't do anything hurtful, he just hopes that after the confession, the adult can open up and spare the villain's life, even if he eats prison for a lifetime, the villain is also willing. "It's better to go to prison than to die, if you're lucky, you can catch up with the new emperor to ascend the throne, give amnesty to the world, and maybe reduce the crime by one degree.

"Above the court, how can you have the qualifications to bargain with this government, and you will truthfully invite it, if the crime is not to death, this government will open the net and give you a way to live." That's what I said, but the meaning is already very clear, as long as you tell the truth, you can be left with a surname. In Yue Su's heart, the matter of the Dragon Slaying Gang was too important, Chen Weihan seemed to be ignorant of the truth, and the only clue was only this Ge Zhi. Compared with the Dragon Slaying Gang, Ge Zhi's life is really nothing.

"Thank you, sir." Ge Zhi no longer concealed it, and said truthfully: "The villain is originally from Hangzhou, named Wang Mao, and his family is quite wealthy, but his father is a good gambler, and in less than a few years, he lost all his family wealth, and his mother was angry to death, but his father still did not repent, and finally sold me to Ge Juren, who had just turned ten years old, to Ge Juren, who was a fellow villager, as a servant, and changed his name to Ge Zhi, and Ge Juren is now the general judge Ge Daren." Seeing that I was still clever, Lord Ge accepted me as a long-term follower, often ran errands for him, and there were no mistakes, so he promoted me to join the Dragon Slaying Gang. I don't know exactly what kind of gang the Dragon Slayer Gang is, but I was given a tin plate that is the same as Chen Weihan, saying that it is a symbol of status. After becoming a disciple of the Dragon Slaying Gang, Master Ge really treated me well, with a lot of food and clothing, and his status was faintly higher than that of other servants, so I gladly accepted it. Over the years, with Lord Ge going around to work, he finally came to this Tongren Mansion......" After Ge Zhi finished narrating his life experience, he told everything he knew.

It turned out that the reason why Fang Cha ran to Ge Yong's mansion at night was because he had already bribed Fang Cha and helped him ventilate the news. Earlier, Fang Cha committed manslaughter in the city, and as soon as Ge Yong heard that he was from Fang Zhai, he not only did not deal with him, but fortunately entertained him. After three rounds of drinking, Fang Cha confided in his heart, saying that the reason why he was angry and hurtful was because the patriarch Fang Qi occupied the position of his ancestor patriarch and had no intention of returning it. When Ge Yong heard this, he immediately expressed his willingness to help him win the position of the first leader, as long as Fang Cha was obedient. Fang Cha agreed.

It was said that Fang Qi and the other three clans came to the city, which was the letter from Fang Chabao, and Ge Yong got the news and immediately set out to ambush. It seems that Ge Yong had already intended to assassinate Fang Qi, and a group of people rushed to Tongren a few days ago, or Ge Zhi found a place to settle down, knowing that he came from Guiyang, as for why he wanted to kill Fang Qi, Ge Zhi didn't know.

The person who assassinated the Duke of Qianguo was from another Miao Village, named Qi Sheng, who was chased and killed by the enemy, and Ge Yong saw that he had some ability, so he rescued him. Ge Yong later helped him get rid of the enemy, and this man has been loyal to Ge Yong ever since, and has helped Ge Yong kill many people. This time to assassinate the Duke of Qianguo, Ge Yong expected that only this person would not confide the truth under severe torture, so he categorically let him go.

Successively poisoning Xu Tianzhao and prefect Wang Shengcai with Gu poison were all news delivered by Ge Zhi, why did he kill them, Ge Zhi didn't understand, he just acted on orders. All the instructions were transmitted from Guiyang to the Tongju Mansion, and Ge Zhi had also been to Guiyang twice and knew that the mansion was owned by Nie Gaochao, the former political envoy of Guizhou.

After listening to Ge Zhi's confession, everyone present was shocked, they really couldn't imagine that this case could still involve the former political envoy. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how Lord Yue would sentence.

Yue Su's face sank like water, and he said flatly: "Ge Zhi, where is your tin card now?" ”

"Go back to my lord, in the closet in my room."

"Very well, let him sign the pledge."

The clerk's office took the recorded confession to Ge Zhi to draw a charge, and after it was finished, he heard Yue Su say: "Jin Chan, you immediately take someone to Ge Mansion to search, take Ge Zhi's waist card, and then look carefully to see if you can turn out Ge Yong's piece, if you can find anything else, then it is the best." This time, be careful and see if there is a secret passage similar to the Chen Mansion. ”

Ge Yong's house has been searched once, and the main search is only the master's room, and the maids and servants have not searched much, but this time they have to search in detail.

"My subordinates understand." Jin Chan agreed and took people to Gefu.

Gefu has long been sealed, and there have always been messengers guarding there, and there is no need to bring too many people, and it is estimated that it will be able to turn the bottom upside down when you say hello.

After Jin Chan left, Yue Su looked at Niu Qian and said, "Lord Garrison, the Chen Mansion will still trouble your people to guard for a few more days, whether to check it or not, we have to wait for the instructions from above." ”

"Xia Guan understands." Niu Qian hurriedly replied.

Yue Su nodded, ignored him, looked at Chen Weihan again, and said, "Chen Weihan, this government asks you, does General Lin Xiaofeng have anything to do with this case?" ”

When Lin Xiaofeng heard this, his face turned white, for fear that Chen Weihan would drag him into the water. But now that he has comprehended Lord Yue's prestige, he doesn't even dare to speak, so he can only look at Chen Weihan pitifully.

"My cousin has nothing to do with this case, and he doesn't know anything about it." Chen Weihan said truthfully.

After hearing this answer, Lin Xiaofeng's hanging heart finally fell, and he let out a long sigh.

But then Yue Su's words once again made him fall into the abyss, "This case involves too much, even if I believe that General Lin may not know, but after all, the trial has not yet been concluded, and we have to wait for the governor's yamen." In this way, General Lin will stay in the back office of the mansion for the time being, and he will not go out, and I will tell General Zhang about this in writing. ”

"Lord Yue...... I'm wronged, this case really has nothing to do with me......"

"Whether it has anything to do with you or not, there will be a judgment in the future. All the prisoners were put in prison, waiting to be sent and retreated! ”

Deputy General You Chuancheng and General Cheng Chaoxiang have no temper at all, how dare they intercede for Lin Xiaofeng, they know the stakes, in case they talk too much, it is not good that Lord Yue will even leave them. With this case, you don't have the slightest temper to detain anyone.

Yue Su retreated, all the prisoners were put into prison, Lin Xiaofeng was imprisoned, You Chuancheng, Cheng Chaoxiang, and Niu Qian said goodbye to Yue Su and left the yamen. When these three went out, their faces had their own merits, Niu Qianzi was full of pride, and the other two still had palpitations.

When Yue Su returned to the back office, he immediately ordered the secretary office to write an official document, packed all the details of the case and a copy of the confession, and ordered Tie Qiu to send it to the governor. Because the case involved the former political envoy Nie Gaochao, and it was not considered closed, he did not write a handling opinion. In this kind of case, of course, the final decision must be made by the Criminal Department, and Yue Su has no right to make a final judgment, at most he can give an opinion. Then he had to write a letter to the chief soldier Zhang Yanfang, explaining why Lin Xiaofeng was detained.

***************************************************

At dawn, Mu Tianjiao finally woke up from the bed, rubbed her eyes, and found that this place was very unfamiliar. Recalling what happened yesterday, it was like a nightmare, I only remember that as soon as Yue Su left, his stomach ached, and that feeling was really worse than death. Later, he seemed to be picked up by Yue Su, carrying himself all over the street, under the baptism of the breeze, his spiritual head seemed to recover a little, but his stomach hurt even more, and he was about to die.

Thinking of Yue Su running away with her, her cheeks couldn't help but crimson, she was a young widow, what did it look like for a big man to hold her. Fortunately, it was someone who wanted to save his life, otherwise it would have been spread out, and how could he still see people.

"By the way, where is this? Am I not dead yet? Mu Tianjiao got out of bed, walked towards the door, and when she arrived at the door, she pushed the door open.

As soon as the door opened, I was greeted by a group of errand soldiers dressed in soap clothes, with a tired look on their faces. As soon as he saw the door open, the county lord came out, and immediately bowed and saluted, "See the county lord." ”

Mu Tianjiao nodded slightly and said, "Here...... Is it Lord Yue's yamen? ”

"Back to the county lord, it is the prefect's yamen." One of the officers replied.

"How long have I been lying here?"

"It's only four hours."

"Oh...... By the way, where is Lord Yue now, resting in the back house? Mu Tianjiao asked again.

"Back to the county lord, Lord Yue has been trying the case all night, and the case has just been tried, and the person is in the back hall."

"Trial? What case is being tried in the middle of the night? Mu Tianjiao asked curiously.

"It's the case of the county lord and the county master who was in Gu, listening to the officer in front of me, now the truth of the case has been revealed, and all the murderers have been caught."

"So fast! Yesterday, it really worked to draw that lottery. Mu Tianjiao was surprised and muttered to herself, and couldn't help but admire Yue Su in her heart. Take me to meet you, Lord Yue. ”

After speaking, Mu Tianjiao moved the lotus step lightly and walked out. The officer led the way and led her to the back hall.

"My lord, the county lord asks to see you." When I came to the door, the servant was born.

"Please." After Yue Su finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the door. Without waiting for the door, the door was open, and Mu Tianjiao entered.

As soon as he saw the county lord, Yue Su took a step forward, bowed down and said: "The lower officials have no way to govern, and Tongren is restless, which has caused the county lord to be poisoned, and I hope that the county lord will forgive him." ”

The messenger next to him saw that his adults were all pleading guilty on their own, and what were they doing standing stupidly, they all bowed down one by one, and said loudly: "I still hope that the county lord will forgive ...... sins."

"What a crime an adult, if there is no adult to save me, I think this county can no longer stand here. It's too late for the county to thank you. Seeing Yue Su's tired face, Mu Tianjiao's heart was even more moved, and she actually gave him a blessing. Then he said: "I heard that Lord Yue has cleared up the case, I don't know who is so bold as to poison my husband and wife." ”

Yue Su asked the county lord to sit down, took a confession, presented it to the county lord, and explained it to the side. Knowing that the case was not over, and what was involved in the Dragon Slaying Gang and the former political envoy Nie Gaochao, Mu Tianjiao was also shocked. He said that he would immediately write a letter to tell his father the truth of the case.

****************************************************

Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou.

Governor Li Zheng was sitting in his study, flipping through the copy, when a family member came to report that Yue Su, the prefect of Tongren, had sent an urgent official document.

Li Zheng has been worried about the case of the county master recently, and Mu Qiyuan has been urging him twice in three days, and his head is as big as a fight. A few days ago, Zhang Yanfang, who received a report from Yue Su, wanted to exterminate Fangzhai, and his heart was even more angry, after all, he was the biggest official in Guizhou, even if your title was high, you could not skip me and directly order the general army of Guizhou to send troops.

Now I heard that there was an urgent official letter from Tongren, and I didn't know what was going on there, so I hurriedly let the messenger in.

The messenger was an iron man, and when he saw it, he presented a very tightly sealed wooden box with a key hanging beside it. Li Zhen inspected it, saw that the seal was undamaged, and knew that it had not been opened, so he took off the key and opened the wooden box.

The wooden box contained a thick stack of scrolls, and Li Zheng took it out to look at it, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. The poisoning of the county horse is already a big case, but I didn't expect that someone would poison the county lord now, but fortunately, the county lord was unharmed, and Yue Su followed the vine again to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

In such cases, Li Zheng did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent troops to surround Nie's Mansion and capture Nie Gaochao.

However, when the soldiers rushed into the mansion, Nie Gaochao had already committed suicide by taking poison, but fortunately he captured several henchmen. After severe torture, the reason for the murder of Xu Tianzhao, Wang Shengcai, and Fang Qi was finally revealed.

It turned out that the Xuanwei Mansion of Shuixi, Guizhou Province colluded with Zhi'an Bangyan with the former political envoy Nie Gaochao, Tongren Tong sentenced Ge Yong, and the former guerrilla Chen Weihan in Guangdong to lead the troops to rebel, and they were afraid that they would not be able to succeed, so they first sent people to kill the county horse Xu Tianzhao with Gu poison, because the Gu poison was exclusive to the Miao people, and they wanted to use this matter to provoke a war between the soldiers and horses in Guizhou and the Miao people, and then take advantage of the chaos to start an incident. Unexpectedly, after Xu Tianzhao's death, although the Duke of Qianguo was very angry, he did not make a move against Sanmiao, but asked the Tongren prefect to investigate the case in detail. Wang Shengcai has some skills, and his cronies Wang Fu actually found out some clues about the Chen family, and after Ge Yong knew about it, he let people attack Wang Shengcai.

In order to provoke the rebellion of Sanmiao, Nie Gaochao sent the dead to Tongren to wait for the opportunity to get rid of Sanmiao Tusi and blame the Duke of Qianguo. San Miao originally planned to send someone to assassinate the Duke of Qianguo, but Fang Cai'er was persuaded to do so, and Ge Yong had no choice but to send a Miao assassin to the Duke of Qianguo Mansion to assassinate him. Their purpose in poisoning the county lord in the end was actually simpler, that is, to force the Duke of Qianguo to be furious and send troops to exterminate Sanmiao. Because they know that as long as Mu Tianjiao dies, no matter how calm Mu Qiyuan is, he will definitely not be able to sit still.

After these confessions, Li Zheng even called for danger, but fortunately, Yue Su rescued the county lord and found out the facts of the case. He went to the court at the moment, firstly, to report the case, and secondly, to ask for credit for Yue Su. Later, Zhang Yanfang, the chief soldier, asked him to immediately send troops to destroy An Bangyan.

After the incident here was over, Li Zheng wrote a letter and asked Tie Qiu to bring it back to Yue Su, and asked him to demobilize the prisoners to Guiyang.

Yue Su got the palindrome, ordered Jin Chan to send troops to escort the prisoners to Guiyang, and wrote another letter to intercede for Chen Weihan and Ge Zhi, among which Chen Weihan was a coerced thief, and he promised that as long as he confessed truthfully, he could save a little blood for him, hoping that the governor could show mercy outside the law and leave a male for the Chen family. As for Ge Zhi, he is an important tainted witness in this case, and it is all up to him to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, sort out the conspiracy, and hope to be dealt with leniently. In the end, Yue Su raised another question, that is, whether Nie Gaochao was a member of the Dragon Slaying Gang, and if so, what his identity was.

In Yue Su's heart, Nie Gaochao would never be the leader of this Dragon Slaying Gang. With his energy, it is impossible to find a widow who wants to blackmail Chen Weihan, let alone let the general judge Ge Yong be so desperate. But all the clues seem to have been interrupted from Nie Gaochao's death, if you want to continue to find out the details of the Dragon Slaying Gang, I am afraid that the only way to do this is to ask from An Bangyan's mouth after Zhang Yanfang exterminated An Bangyan.

This case can be regarded as a temporary end, and these people are very busy, and now they can finally relax. However, he still handled an official business first and sentenced Guan Yu.

Because of Guan Yu's accusations, Yue Su targeted the Chen family, so as to crack the case, which can be regarded as a great achievement. After the merit, Yue Su changed the sentence to confiscate the army in Yunnan, and wrote a letter, stating that Guan Yu was the key to cracking the case, and let him take it with him. Guan Yu took the letter, he was grateful, and kowtowed to Yue Su three times.

It can be said that because of this letter, Guan Yu's life was changed, which Yue Su did not expect. After the steward of the prison camp saw this letter, he was immediately very polite to Guan Yu, and he didn't even hit the killing stick, and forwarded the letter to the Duke of Qianguo. After the Duke of Qianguo saw it, he personally summoned Guan Yu, and saw that he was a tiger with a bear's waist and some courage, so he stayed in the mansion as a guard. With his experience as a thug leader in Liu Shengfu, this Guan Yu improved step by step, and was respected by the Duke of Qianguo and entrusted with important tasks. But that's a story for later, so I won't show it here.
