Chapter 18 Discerning

After Yue Su asked this sentence, he thought that Guo Kai couldn't answer a sentence of "the grass people know their guilt", and at the worst of all, he could say "the grass people are wronged" like the one played on TV. It's this Guo Kai, after Yue Su asked, he didn't even say a word.

"It can't be that you know you're going to die, and you're so scared that you can't speak, right?" Yue Su had also heard that many of the condemned prisoners were so frightened that they couldn't even walk before they were shot, and it seemed that ancient and modern times were the same.

However, propaganda and education work still need to be done, and Yue Su shouted loudly: "The criminal Guo Kai was punished by the imperial court for killing his wife, and he was punished by the imperial court. The people of the past have taken a closer look, the court law is not a child's play, killing people pays for their lives, and the righteousness of heaven is clear. Thinking about this Guo Kai, he didn't want to raise his eyebrows with his wife and grow old, but he conspired to kill, it was really self-inflicted......"

When Yue Su said this, Guo Kai, who was originally kneeling on the ground, raised his head suddenly, staring at Yue Su fiercely with a pair of eyes, as if he wanted to eat people, his mouth opened, and he made a "uh-uh" sound.

Xia Kuan saw it in his eyes, and his heart was so anxious, and he said in his heart: "What nonsense are you talking about, hurry up and order to cut it." ”

And Jin Chan and Tie Qiu also got together and whispered, "I didn't expect our eldest brother to really have a level, these few sentences are born to be an official, I think that being a county commander is a bit condescending." ”

"Who said no, you see that kid kneeling up there, just now he was still hanging his head there, stubborn, unrepentant. Look at it now, my head is up, look at the excitement...... Hey...... Something seems wrong......"

But Yue Su said it with taste, "There is an ancient saying: Heaven is forgivable, but self-inflicted sin cannot be lived, Guo Kai knelt on this torture platform today, you say that he will not regret it." Although the official doesn't know what his wife looks like, even if she is really an unfaithful person, there is a law to rule her, why bother to kill, this is called a mistake into a thousand hatreds, I hope everyone will take this as a warning, and never repeat his mistakes......"

Yue Su was talking eloquently, and he said it in high spirits, but he didn't notice that when he said the sentence "even if it is really an unfaithful person", Guo Kai on the torture platform was even more excited, if it wasn't for the executioner holding him down, I'm afraid he would have rushed over to find Yue Su desperately.

"Look, my lord, his mood seems to be a little wrong." Jin Chan took a few steps to Yue Su, who was speaking, and whispered in his ear.

"Oh?" Only then did Yue Su notice Guo Kai, as if he was going crazy, he opened his mouth and screamed "uh-uh", as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. "Really, what's wrong with this guy?"

"Was this person moved by what the adults just said?" Jin Cicada whispered.

"It's not like ......" Yue Su shook his head solemnly and said, "This guy seems to be speechless, he can't be a dumb person." "Yue Su is a modern person, and his knowledge is not a little higher than that of the golden cicada.

He thought for a moment and said loudly, "Come on, bring me the death row prisoner." ”

"Yes!" The officer agreed, and immediately went to pick up the man. Xia Kuan, who was sitting on the side, was afraid that Yue Su would say this, and at this moment he completely collapsed, leaning back in his chair, not knowing what to do.

The messenger quickly brought Guo Kai to the prison beheading stage, "My lord, the death row prisoner is here." This Guo Kai, while walking, struggled, "uh-uh" kept screaming without speaking, and glared at Yue Su fiercely.

"Criminal Guo Kai, the official asked you, why are you so excited?" Yue Su asked loudly.

"Uh-uh......" Guo Kai opened his mouth, his face full of pain, and he couldn't say a word.

Yue Su's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he remembered something, and shouted: "Show me his mouth to see if there is a tongue in it!" ”

"Yes!" The officer examined it carefully and replied, "Back to my lord, no!" ”

"Smack!" Yue Su slapped the table and said loudly, "Who cut your tongue?" ”

"Uh-uh......"

Hearing Guo Kai's shout, Yue Su reacted, Guo Kai could no longer speak. Pointing at Guo Kai, he said: "Guo Kai, you calm down for the official, you just need to nod and shake your head when the official asks you questions." Did you hear me clearly? ”

"Uh-uh......" Guo Kai nodded vigorously.

"The officer asked you, when was your tongue cut off, was it before the crime?"

Guo Kai hurriedly shook his head.

"That's after the crime?"

Guo Kai nodded.

"This official asks you again, is your case unjust?"

"Uh, uh, uh......" Guo Kai's head nodded even more.

Seeing Guo Kai nodding so excitedly, Yue Su seemed to understand something, "Guo Kai, this official asks you again, was your tongue cut out in prison?" ”

"Uh-uh......" Guo Kai nodded vigorously. Xia Kuan, who was sitting next to Yue Su, turned pale with a "brush". His heart was pounding, and he said: "It's over now, I knew that it was better to kill him desperately." ”

"Was it cut off as soon as he went to prison?" Yue Su asked again.

This time, Guo Kai shook his head desperately.

"So, it was cut off a few days ago?"

"Uh-uh......" Guo Kai nodded repeatedly.

"The one who cut out your tongue, but in the jailer's garb?"

"Uh-uh......" Guo Kai nodded again.

"The official finally asks you, if you see this person again, can you know him?"

"Uh-uh......" This time, Guo Kai nodded desperately.

"Smack!" Yue Su slapped the table case fiercely, and said loudly: "Where is the third class of officials, escort Guo Kai and go to the prison with this official!" ”

"Yes......" The current officials are full of spirit and spirit, and their answers are very neat, like a landslide and tsunami. While watching the lively people, they cheered.

Yue Su didn't take a sedan chair, walked down the prison platform, and went straight to the prison. Jin Cicada, Tong Xuan, and Tie Qi followed closely behind, and the servants were also majestic and high-spirited.

The county jail is actually the same courtyard as the county jail, but the gate is open on the other side, Yue Su led the crowd to come to the prison gate, and the jailer guarding the door saw that the old man was coming, and hurriedly bowed down to salute. Yue Su waved his hand and said loudly, "Call Jiao Can out for me." ”

This name is Jiao Can, who is the warden of the prison.

"Yes, sir." Seeing that the master was angry, the jailer dared to delay, let alone ask what was going on, so he hurriedly ran in. After a while, Jiao Can also ran out of the ground, and when he saw Yue Su, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, "See your lord." ”

"Excuse me." Yue Su said loudly: "Count one of the jailers in your male prison as one, and call me all out." ”

"Yes."

Jiao Can didn't know what was going on, so he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ordered his subordinates to go and call someone. Not much effort, come out twenty or thirty.

"Is that all?" Yue Su asked coldly.

"Lord Hui, this is the day shift today, including me, a total of thirty-two people. Twenty-eight others were on the night shift and could not be on duty until evening. Jiao Can replied cautiously.

"Good." Yue Su nodded, beckoned, and said, "Tell Guo Kai to come forward and recognize people." By the way, let me know if it's thirty-two. ”

Immediately, there was a servant who escorted Guo Kai to recognize the person, and by the way, he almost counted people. Thirty-two is not bad, Guo Kai recognized it for a long time, but finally shook his head and walked in front of Yue Su.

"Jiao Can, where do the twenty-eight people on the night shift live?" It's not the day shift, it's definitely the night shift.

Jiao Can nodded, "Lord Hui, I basically know it." ”

"Jiao Can, you now immediately select ten jailers who are familiar with the road, including you, as guides, to lead the arresters to find people for me from door to door, and bring them to the lobby together."

"Yes."

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

Jin Chan and Tong Xuan led the arrest to take the people separately, and Yue Su took Tie Qi and ten servants to escort Guo Kai back to the county government hall to wait.

The current errand service, the efficiency is many times stronger than before, and after a while, more than a dozen jailers have been brought back, and Guo Kai has identified them one by one, but the result is not.

After a while, Jin Chan led people back to the lobby, "Go back to your lordship, something happened?" ”

"What's wrong?" Yue Su asked loudly.

"The subordinates found four jailers one after another, and when they went to the house of a man named Gong Liang, they found that he had hanged himself." Jin Cicada said.

"Dead? Where are the corpses? Is there anyone else in his family? Yue Su hurriedly asked.

"The body is still at home, and someone has been ordered to guard it, and there is an old mother at home who also hanged herself."

"Bastard!" Yue Su didn't have to guess, this must be murder. But it was still a routine, and Guo Kai identified the four jailers who were brought back by Jin Chan, and sure enough, they were not.

Just because of this effort, Tong Zhou also returned. When they arrived at a house called Zhang Dong, they found that Zhang Dong and his wife had hanged themselves, but the body was still warm, and it was expected that they would die not long ago, and there were strangulation marks on their hands and feet, which should have been tied up and then forcibly hung up. The body was guarded by his subordinates and three other jailers were brought back to his life. ”

"Good." Tong Xuan's answer was quite clean and neat, Yue Su was very satisfied, and asked Guo Kai to recognize people, but there was still nothing. Soon, the other jailers were also brought to the lobby, and the number of people was counted, a total of twenty-six people, just missing Gong Liang and Zhang Dong, who were killed, Guo Kai identified again, and neither of them was. Yue Su immediately ordered to personally take people to Zhang Dong's house first, and called Shang Zuo to go to the autopsy.
