Chapter 15 Lifting people
When it came to life and death, Ma De couldn't take care of anything, and confessed the situation of the Sun Mansion in court.
After listening to this, Yue Su turned his head to look at Xia Kuan. Xia Kuan's face was already pale, but he could still maintain a little composure, he stood up straight, arched his hand towards Yue Su, and said, "My lord, Ma De's words are indeed true, and the culprit is indeed Sun Dacheng." The lower officials broke into their interior, and when they learned about it, they were shocked, and they planned to inform the adults as soon as possible, but Sun Dacheng did not leave the left and right, and then Ma De led people to make trouble, but he really couldn't find a chance, and he hoped that the adults would know it. It's a child catcher, who usually looks at Sun Dacheng, adults must not be confused by him, they should be strictly interrogated. ”
Xia Kuan was clever, and immediately came up with a rhetoric and washed himself clean. You said that I was an accomplice, and I also said that I was an undercover agent who broke into the enemy's interior, and you couldn't show evidence anyway, and my county was also appointed by the imperial court, and there was no real evidence, so you couldn't help it, at best, I didn't know about it. But Sun Dacheng has been following me, even entering the county office, and I have no chance to inform you. As for Tong Xuan, Xia Kuan gritted his teeth with hatred, if he hadn't defected in battle, how could he fail in the end.
Yue Su nodded, he also understood that it was absolutely impossible to punish the crime of the county without evidence, and it was even more unrealistic to use torture to extract confessions. He can't punish the doctor, he knows, and said with a light smile: "Lord Xia went deep into the tiger's den and it can be regarded as a lot of hard work, and it is understandable that he did not report it in time." But Tong Zhutou is still very loyal......" Saying, Yue Su picked up Tong Zhou's "resignation letter" just now, "Lord Xia, look at this." ”
Xia Kuan walked a few steps, came to Yue Su's side, took the "resignation" and took a look, and was even more angry in his heart. It turned out that where the resignation was written on it, it was clearly a whistle-blowing letter, and the plan they discussed at noon was written on it without missing anything.
There is also a reason why Yue Su showed the whistleblower letter to Xia Kuan, so that Xia Kuan will hate Tong Zhou even more, and if Tong Zhou wants to continue to mix, he can only rely on Yue Su more and become his sworn friend.
Although Xia Kuan was angry, he had to show a smiling face on the surface, "Tong Zhutou is really loyal and commendable." ”
Yue Su sneered, no longer paid attention to Xia Kuan, slapped the shocked wood, and said loudly: "Sun Dacheng is suspected of inciting the resignation of the errand officer, Tong catches the head, you immediately send someone to escort him to the court." ”
"Yes, sir." Tong Xuan immediately ordered twenty arresters, led by his henchmen, to arrest Sun Dacheng.
After the errand left, Yue Su said: "Temporarily escort Ma De aside, wait for Sun Dacheng to escort him to the case, and then confront him in court." Then he said loudly: "Jin Cicada, Tie Qiu, bring the person who bribed the official to the court." ”
The hall was lively just now, and Jin Chan and Tie Qiu had long wanted to come up and take a look, but Yue Su had a warning, not to greet them, and not to come out, so they had to honestly look at Wu Jing behind the warm pavilion. Yue Su shouted to the two of them, and the two escorted Wu Jing to the lobby.
"My lord, Wu Jing brought it."
Yue Su said: "The Wu family bribed the officials of the imperial court, the evidence is conclusive, and the second housekeeper of the Wu Mansion is suspected of seriously injuring Wang San, and the bitter master is in the yazhong." Tong Zhutou, this official ordered you to immediately take someone to the Wu family, and bring the Wu family master to the case together with the second housekeeper and related people, there must be no mistakes. ”
"Subordinates obey." Tong Xuan agreed, took forty catchers and left the county government and rushed to the Wu family.
This martial artist is the largest family in Yangshuo County, and even the chief catcher Sun Dacheng is the son-in-law of his family, and no one has always dared to provoke him. Now that feng shui is turning, Sun Dacheng's position as the head catcher has been dismissed, and he has become a key criminal, and the momentum of the martial arts family has immediately weakened by three points.
When he came to the door of the Wu Mansion, the Wu family's concierge opened the door when he heard the sound, and when he saw so many people coming to the door, he was stunned at first, and then shouted: "This is the Wu Mansion, what are you going to do?" ”
"I know it's Wufu! What do you think we can do? Of course, it's to take people, and ask your master and the second housekeeper to come out with us, otherwise don't blame our brother for being polite. Tong Xuan took a step forward, pushed the porter, and walked into the door, and the servants behind him saw that the head catcher was like this, and they all rushed up and broke in.
"You ...... You are so bold...... "The concierge of the martial arts family has always been used to it, and it is the first time that someone dares to break in, and he shouted with courage, but the momentum is no longer as tough as before.
"It's natural to take people with tolerance, and you don't need to be too bold, hurry up and lead the way, otherwise you will be treated as an obstruction to official business." After Tong Zhou finished speaking, he picked up the porter, and then stepped back heavily.
The porter took a few steps back and sat on the ground with his butt, and only then did he realize that the other party was not good. At this moment, the evil slaves of the Wufu have been alarmed, and more than a dozen thugs who take care of the family and the courtyard hurried over, and when they saw the porter sitting on the ground, they couldn't help but say, and they opened their posture and stopped in front of Tong Zhou.
Tong Xuan was awe-inspiring and said loudly: "What? Do you still dare to do anything with Ben Catcher? You must know that gathering a crowd to arrest and obstruct official business will be punished with cane and imprisonment at best, and at worst beheaded! With that, he drew his saber from his waist.
Several of the catchers in the back were Tong Zhou's henchmen, and they all hurriedly took a few steps forward and drew their knives. When the other officials saw this posture, they also showed their knives one after another and shouted loudly to help.
Seeing that there were many people on the band, and that they had flashed their knives, the evil slaves did not dare to act rashly, and they couldn't help but take two steps back. One of the leaders kicked the porter and said, "Why don't you go and tell the master." ”
The porter came back to his senses, didn't dare to delay, ran away, and when he entered the hospital, he shouted loudly, "The master is not good, there is a tolerance to get people......"
There are four people sitting in the flower hall of the inner courtyard, in the center is Wu Kui, the head of the martial family, and on the left and right are his eldest son Wu Bin, the second housekeeper Wu Sheng, and Sun Dacheng, who is being chased.
As soon as Wu Kui heard the shout of the porter, his face became heavy, and then he saw the porter running into the flower hall in a panic, "Master, there is an official outside who said that he came to get people, and he looks very fierce, you see ......."
"Who did they say they took?" Wu Kui was still calm, and first asked the other party's intentions. Because Sun Dacheng had just met the official errand, the two fought, but fortunately, those officials were too pusy and were beaten away by him, Sun Dacheng felt that the signs were wrong, so he hurriedly ran to his father-in-law. This head was discussing countermeasures, but he didn't expect the official to come so quickly and chase him here.
"Back to the master, they kept saying that they wanted to bring the master and the second housekeeper to the hall."
"Oh." Seeing that he was not here to arrest Sun Dacheng, Wu Kui's heart fell, and he stood up and said, "You all stay here, I will go out to meet them." ”
"Father-in-law." "Daddy." "Sir." The three people in the hall immediately stood up, their faces full of worry.
"You don't have to worry, the old man didn't do anything to kill criminals, and he went to the lobby with them, so he can't do anything to me. But Dacheng, you must not show your face, and sit here honestly. Wu Kui admonished and strode out.
"Master......" The second housekeeper Wu Sheng shouted, ran to Wu Kui's side, and said: "Didn't they say that they would bring me to the hall, if the master went alone, they wouldn't see me, and they forcibly entered the house to search, and if they ran into my uncle, I am afraid it would not be good." Or I'll go out with you. ”
"Raid the house, they dare?" Wu Kui shouted, his face full of anger.
"Master, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. The new county magistrate has already detained the big housekeeper, and he wants to arrest his uncle, so what else is there to dare to do. I'm just hurting people, at most I can eat some boards and compensate for the king's medical expenses, it's no big deal. Now is on the cusp, it's better to have less trouble, and when the limelight is over, it's not too late for us to worry about him. "Wu Sheng is a cautious person, worried that he will not go out and cause trouble in the house.
"You're thinking about it, so let's both go together and see what they can do to us." At that moment, Wu Kui took the lead, Wu Sheng followed, and the two came to the main gate together.
Bypassing the wall, I just saw that the people in the house were confronting the catcher. Wu Kui looked up to the sky and snorted, and said with a smile: "Isn't this a child catcher, I don't know what wind blew you to the cold house." ”
"Master Wu is polite." Tong Xuan changed the knife into the sheath and said with a smile: "Under the order of the county honor, please invite Master Wu and the second housekeeper of your mansion to the hall to talk about it, there are many offenses, please forgive me." ”
"You are also on business, why do you want to offend, since the county master is invited, then Wu Sheng and I will go with you. Tong catches the head, lead the way. Wu Kui said lightly.
"Thank you Master Wu for your understanding." Tong Xuan arched his hand, and said: "The county respecter has something to say, all the relevant people involved in the beating of Wang San must be brought to the case together, I don't know ...... Master Wu."
Wu Kui was angry with a pair of iron fists "Gege", but there was still a smile on his face, "It should be so." Wu Sheng, who are you taking to fight Wang San, shout together, and go to the yamen with Tong Zhutou. ”
"Yes, sir." In the big hand at the door, there was the person who beat Wang San yesterday, Wu Sheng called the person up, and with Tong Xuan, everyone came to the public hall together.
Yue Su sat on top of the warm pavilion, and Xia Kuan, the county magistrate, sat down, and he didn't say a word for half a day, looking extremely embarrassed. Seeing Tong Zhou bring Wu Kui and others to the hall, he had the intention to show Master Wu a seat, but now he has no chance to speak, so he can only make a fortune in a muffled voice.
Yue Su Shicai has already received a report from the servants, saying that he met Sun Dacheng, and the two sides also moved, Sun Dacheng's martial arts are not weak, everyone is invincible, and a few are injured. Yue Su knew that Sun Dacheng still had prestige, and these catches were also wine bags and rice bags, and it was reasonable that he couldn't catch people, so he didn't dig deeper, so he asked people to find Lang Zhong to diagnose and treat the injured.
As soon as he saw Wu Kui and the others arrive in the hall, he didn't need to ask, he had already seen which one was the master of the martial family. The one in the middle, who can be around fifty years old, has a fierce face, and a scar under his left eye, which is not expected to be a good type, and it is estimated that he must have done murder and goods in his early years. Now he is covered with a robe of a member, and he has not taken off that gangster.
"Smack!" Yue Su knocked on the shocking wood and asked loudly: "The people who came down to the hall reported their names, why didn't they kneel when they saw this official?" ”
The successive county lords were polite to Wu Kui, and never let him come to the lobby, even if they met, they were in the back house, let alone kneeling. Now this new master, it is violent, come up and let kneel, Wu Kui has no fame, it is reasonable to kneel in the hall, when he can't easily comply, he said with a smile: "The master is above, the grass people Wu Kui is polite...... " said, arched his hand, "The master passed the grass people to the court, I don't know what happened, if the grass people committed any lawsuit, it is not too late to kneel." ”
"Good teeth, then the official will tell you what crime you have committed!" Yue Su knocked on the shocking wood again, stretched out his hand to point to Wu Jing who was kneeling on the side, and said loudly: "Do you know this person?" ”
