"Smack!"

Yue Su knocked the shocked wood hard, and shouted: "Sophistry, like a gutless bandit like you, don't use the criminal law, and there is no truth in your mouth." Left and right, give me a fifty board! ”

With that, throw the fire stick to the ground.

As soon as the fire fell, four messengers stepped forward to hold down Fang Ji, dragged his pants, picked up the board and hit it. "Crackling" fifty boards, Fang Ji was crying dad and shouting mother, shouting vigorously, "My lord, I am really wronged, I really don't know why......"

When the board was finished, Yue Su stared at Fang Ji and asked again: "Fang Ji, this official will ask you again, whether you recruit or not, if you don't recruit again, don't blame me for punishing you!" ”

"Your Excellency...... I really don't know......" After receiving fifty boards, Fang Ji was a little uneasy when he spoke.

"I don't know, this official will tell you the truth, Fang Cha has now been recruited, and the mastermind behind the scenes is to sentence Ge Yong, and he also said that you are an accomplice. If you know each other, tell the truth, and be free from the pain of flesh. You have seen the chain of fire yesterday, and the taste of washing, if you don't try it, you must be able to taste it. This government will give you another chance now, as long as you confess truthfully, I will spare you death, and if you quibble again. Hum...... Left and right, fetch me the fire chain! "False confessions and intimidation are Yue Su's old routines, and this time they did it correctly.

"Yes! My lord. ”

Today after a day of trial, the fire chain has been swinging back and forth twice, and now it is cold and is baking outside. The officer agreed, took the fire chain, and put it down the steps.

Fang Ji had seen the chain of fire that day, and although he had not seen the assassin kneeling up, he had heard the pig-killing howl and smelled the burnt smell. This has to touch the body, and there can be a good one.

"Big, big...... I—I'm ...... I really don't know......" Fang Ji was about to cry in a hurry now. The scene of the breakthrough was indeed as he said, everyone else was stopped, and only gave him a flash, why this is so, even he himself does not understand.

"Still hard-mouthed in front of this house! Set him up for me! Yue Su shouted.

The messenger immediately stepped forward and set Fang Ji up. Shi Cai was hit by the board, and the pants were not put on yet, and this one was set up, just in time to see Fang Ji's embarrassment of being frightened and incontinent. The urine was still dripping down.

"Your Excellency...... Spare your life...... I really don't know......" Seeing that he was about to be put on this fiery red chain, Fang Ji couldn't help but cry. "Your Excellency...... I was able to break through that day, it was indeed inexplicable, I didn't continue to fight after rushing out, but went back to the village to move the rescuers, one was because of Fang Cha's shouts, and the other was because I was afraid of death...... Ask for an adult's understanding......"

This guy was weeping bitterly now, a world away from the previous assassin.

Seeing Fang Ji's cowardice, Yue Su expected that this person really didn't know, otherwise, it was estimated that he would be deceived like when he interrogated the servants of the Martial Mansion.

After all, Yue Su is not the master of people's lives, as soon as the fire chain is on, don't look at the people who can't die, but if they can't be disabled, they must not be used indiscriminately without real evidence. Seeing that what Fang Ji said was true, and he was timid and afraid of death, it is estimated that what he said now should be true. So he said: "Could it be that Fang Cha fooled this official?" Fang Ji, do you dare to confront Fang Cha face to face, but this official has said it first, if you tell the truth at that time, it will be too late, then the pain of washing will definitely give you a taste. ”

"Villain...... Dare to ......" Fang Ji's voice was full of crying, but the word "dare" was still said relatively loudly, and it seemed that it was not empty.

"That's good!" Yue Su deliberately turned his head to look at Jin Chan and asked, "Jin Chan, after Fang Cha was tortured just now, can he wake up?" ”

Many people in the hall followed Yue Su to the Tongju Mansion last night, and they all arrived at Fang Cha who was already dead, and they were all muttering in their hearts, "This adult in our family, he doesn't blink his eyes when he lies, this Fang Ji has already fallen asleep, and if he wakes up again, he will cheat the corpse." ”

Jin Cicada also held back a smile, and said seriously: "My lord, Fang Jishi was tortured but he had already fainted, poured a few basins of cold water, and still hadn't woken up." But don't worry, Lang Zhong has already seen it, and he can't die. I guess after tonight, I'll be able to wake up. ”

"That's fine, let's talk about confronting each other in the court. Put Fang Ji in prison for me, and find Lang Zhong to treat his wounds. ”

Taking Fang Ji away, Yue Su dismissed the officials and let them go home to rest, and then invited Fang Cai'er to the hall to speak. Fang Cai'er is a bitter master after all, so she didn't leave only Jin Cicada on her side like a prisoner, which can be regarded as avoiding the suspicion of men and women.

After Fang Cai'er arrived at the hall and sat down, Yue Su told Fang Cha about the design of tracking Fang Cha last night from beginning to end. After hearing this, Fang Cai'er was dumbfounded, she really couldn't imagine that Fang Cha would be an inner ghost. The hatred is so itchy that the root of his teeth itches, if he hadn't listened to Yue Su say that Fang Cha was dead, he would have to cramp and peel his skin.

After saying this, Yue Su will talk about today's interrogation of Fang Ji.

The reason why Fang Cha was suspected was because the cavalry killed people, and it would be over in a moment, he could hold on for so long, and there was nothing outstanding about it, so it can be seen that there must be something wrong with it. Fang Ji was able to break through and leave, but it was also difficult to figure out the reason.

After hearing this, Fang Cai'er said, "The adult's suspicion is indeed reasonable, I didn't expect it at the beginning. But if the two of them would fornicate with outsiders and harm my father, I really can't imagine it. Fang Cha is my uncle's son, that is, my father's own eldest brother's flesh and blood, my uncle died early, leaving only Fang Cha a son, my father regarded him as his own, and let him be his personal guard, how could he do such a thing. Fang Ji is my cousin since his generation, my father used to be kind to his family, and it is hard to imagine him doing such a thing. ”

In Miao Village, basically everyone is a relative, intermarrying with each other all year round, and every family is related. This is also a kind of cohesion, and all Miao villages will be so united.

As soon as he heard that Fang Cha was the son of Fang Qi's eldest brother, Yue Su suddenly thought of the scenes often performed on TV, and said with a smile: "That position of patriarch, was it Fang Cha's father originally?" ”

"How do you know, sir?" Fang Cai'er looked at Yue Su in surprise.

Yue Su said with a smile: "It's not difficult to imagine, I also know a little about the inheritance of your Miao Village, the position of Tusi is mostly hereditary, after your uncle died, the position of Tusi fell to your father's head, I'm afraid that Fang Cha is unwilling." ”

"Yes...... But at that time, Fang Cha was just one year old, and he couldn't take over the position of patriarch at all, so the clan elected my father as the patriarch. And after my father became the patriarch, he has always taken him a lot. ”

"Hehe......" Yue Su shook his head lightly and said, "Power makes people lose their minds and go on the road outside. Okay, Fang Tusi, what I want to tell you has been finished, and this case has been determined to have nothing to do with your Fang Zhai. But the clue was interrupted, and the government had to revisit, and it was estimated that there were still things to rely on, so I wanted to keep you on the yamen for a few more days, I don't know if you would like to. ”

"Your Excellency is polite, you solve the danger of our village, clear up the wrongs, and help me find out the traitor Fang Cha, great kindness, Fang Caier will never be rewarded. What's the point of staying in the yamen for a few days? Fang Cai'er got up and clenched her fists and said respectfully. Since it was found out that it was Fang Cha and Ge Yong who framed his father, then this matter must have nothing to do with Qianguo Gong. But Fang Cai'er didn't know what Yue Su else wanted to investigate.

Where did she know Yue Su's thoughts, since Ge Yong committed suicide, there must be a mastermind behind this matter, and the dead Ge Yong and Fang Cha are just a little minions. What he wants to find out is why the person behind the scenes is causing trouble at both ends, what is the purpose of doing this.

"Then thank you Fang Toast. It's not too early, and it's time for Fang Tusi to go back and rest. ”

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

Since the deaths of Fang Cha and Ge Yong, there has been no progress in the case, and no clues can be found, as if a dead knot has been tied. After a few moments, there was no eyebrows at all.

This time, suddenly someone beat the drum to voice grievances, for Yue Su, as long as someone beats the drum of grievances, it must be accepted.

After ascending to the hall, the official brought a young man who could be twenty-five or sixteen years old to the hall, and with a "mighty" sound left and right, the young man immediately knelt down and bowed.

"Zhang Mingyi, the people of Daxing County, knocked on the adults."

"Daxing County?" Yue Su wondered: "Since you are a citizen of Daxing County, why don't you redress your grievances in the local yamen, and you want to come to this mansion, don't you know the rules of the fifty flogging?" "Daxing County is under the rule of Tongren Mansion, but the rules of filing complaints are first in the local county office, and if you are not satisfied with the verdict, you can appeal beyond the level, so Yue Su has this question. This is the same as the court now, after the lower court has ruled it, if you are not satisfied, you can also appeal to the high court.

"Back to my lord, the villain has already sued the Daxing County Yamen, only because the local bully bought the official mansion and the county magistrate reversed black and white, I had no choice but to go to the prefect's yamen. Please also ask the adults to make decisions for the grass people. Zhang Mingyi kowtowed and said.

"Is there such a thing?" Yue Su stared at Zhang Mingyi and asked, "Is there any paper?" ”

"Yes!" After Zhang Mingyi finished speaking, he took out the paper from his arms. The messenger stepped forward to take it and arrived in front of Yue Su.

Yue Su took the paper and looked at it carefully, it turned out to be such a public case.

Zhang Mingyi has an elder brother named Zhang Mingren, who is in the rice and grain business, and because of the poor turnover half a year ago, he borrowed nine taels of silver from Liu Sheng, a large local household, which was counted as ten taels, and he repaid 15 taels of silver with interest when it expired. Zhang Mingren was in a hurry to buy rice, so he agreed. Whoever thinks that luck is good, after half a year, he has made several transactions and obtained a total of fifty-seven taels of silver. Zhang Mingren took the Chinese to repay the money, but he didn't want Liu Sheng to ask for twenty-five taels, but Zhang Mingren didn't give it, so Liu Sheng instructed the evil slaves to beat him and accidentally beat Zhang Mingren to death. So Liu Sheng found four people in the neighborhood to give false testimony, saying that Zhang Mingren entered Liu's house at night to steal and was beaten to death by Liu's family.

Although Yue Su was anxious about the case of the Qianguo Mansion, as the prefect, he also had to handle the civil unjust cases. Immediately, he said: "Tong Xuan, you are now taking Zhang Mingyi to Daxing County to raise people, whether it is Liu Sheng or the house slave who participated in the killing of Zhang Mingren, bring it all together." Of course, the magistrate of Daxing County and the four witnesses who testified in court could not be missing. ”

"My subordinates understand." Tong Xuan agreed, and he was going to take Zhang Mingyi away. Yue Su suddenly thought of something at this time, and hurriedly said, "Come here, I still have something to explain to you." ”

Tong Xuan didn't know what else the adults were going to instruct, so he hurriedly came to Yue Su's side.
