"Wei ...... Wu ......"

The Chen family was all taken to the yamen, more than 150 people, of course, the lobby could not be fitted, all the family members and maids were left in the courtyard to kneel, and the master of the Chen family and the servants with duties could enter the hall. Tong Xuan and Yue Su said for a long time, plus he used to be a head catcher, and he was practical and practical, and brought the Chen family's roster together for interrogation. In order to prevent the key criminals from escaping, he was in the Chen family one by one to determine his identity. Therefore, the subordinates and the main family are very clear, and none of them are missed.

There are now a total of 17 people in the hall, and the only one standing is Chen Weihan, who is nearly seventy years old. Seeing Chen Weihan's appearance, Yue Su couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, worthy of being a guerrilla general, he was not shocked by changes, and his dignified appearance was very powerful.

Kneeling behind Chen Weihan were his four sons, three daughters-in-law, two concubines, two grandsons, two housekeepers, and three stewards. Among these people, except for the big housekeeper Chen Ran, they were all trembling and trembling. Yes, who can not be afraid of the chain of fire in front of them.

Yue Su showed Niu Qian a seat and asked him to be a jury on the side, which was also a kind of grace, and when he reported it later, his credit was indispensable. And with so many people dispatched, it was expected to be a big case. Niu Qian was very happy in his heart, sitting on the next head of the beautiful zi, this kind of credit, he still likes to receive it. At the beginning, because of his brother-in-law's affairs, his resentment towards Yue Su had long been swept away.

After Tang Wei shouted, Yue Su knocked on the wood and said loudly: "General Chen, this government brought your whole family here this time, what is the matter, you must know it well, it is inevitable that the hall will be humiliated, you should explain it yourself." ”

The old man was surprised by what the lord said. Since the old man returned to his hometown, he has always been law-abiding, and has never done anything illegal. Chen Weihan is neither humble nor arrogant, holding his head high, as if he is on his side.

"I didn't expect that even though General Chen was old, he still had a pair of sharp teeth. Okay, then I'll let you know why. Come on, bring Zhao Jiu up! ”

Zhao Jiu had already been detained by the messenger behind the warm pavilion, waiting for the summons, Yue Su's voice fell, and the messenger pulled Zhao Jiu to the hall.

"General Chen, do you know this person?"

Seeing Zhao Jiu, Chen Weihan's heart was half cold, he wanted to say that he didn't know, but he didn't have the courage to say it, no matter how he said it, Zhao Jiu was an old man in the house, and there was no one in the mansion who Zhao Jiu didn't know, you dare to say that you didn't know, didn't you wait to be beaten. "The old man knows, Zhao Jiu used to be my personal soldier, and now he is the chief attendant of the house."

"It's good to know! Zhao Jiu, Chen Weihan has sent you to do something today, you can repeat what you said to this mansion before in the hall. Yue Su looked at Zhao Jiu with a smile.

Zhao Jiu's confession in the back hall was all signed and drawn, and if you dare to retract your confession in court, you will not be killed. Of course, Zhao Jiu didn't dare to repeat it, and honestly told Chen Weihan about sending him to inquire about the life and death of the county lord, and even told him about the life and death of the county horse and the former prefect.

Niu Gan, who was sitting on the side, didn't know what was going on, and at that time, Tong Zhou held a license and ordered him to get someone, and he also asked what the case was, but Tong Zhou never mentioned it. Therefore, Niu Qian only vaguely knew that it was a big case, but he didn't expect an important case involving the county lord and the county horse. This case is very involved, if it is solved, it will naturally be a great achievement, and the prefect will give him a chance to assist in handling it, which is simply a great grace. At this moment, Niu Qian was even more grateful to Yue Su.

"General Chen, the county lord has Gu poison in his body tonight, and it is poisoned at the time of the war, how can you send Zhao Jiu to inquire in advance before the prophet? Could it be that the old general has the ability to predict the future? There are also the previous county horses and the prefect Wang, you sent someone to inquire before the poison, if these things have nothing to do with you, I'm afraid no one will believe it......" Speaking of this, Yue Su no longer had a pleasant face, and he slammed the shocked wood again, and shouted loudly: "Chen Weihan, at this moment, you still don't quickly tell the whole story of how to murder the county lord, the county horse, and Lord Wang, and don't blame the mansion for using a big punishment on you." Look, the chain of fire below is for you! ”

Chen Weihan also knew that he couldn't justify this matter, so the surname Suo put his heart sideways and took a cold bath - stiff. He understood that if he told the truth, according to this crime, extermination was the lightest criminal law. "My lord, the old man doesn't understand what you are saying, although Zhao Jiu is my parent, I have never sent him to inquire about the death of the county lord. These are all imaginary things, and I hope that adults will not believe the words of villains. After speaking, he glared at Zhao Jiu angrily, and shouted: "Zhao Jiu, the old man thinks that he treats you well, why do you slander the old man, do you know that this matter will be full of the old man's surname, and even your whole family will not be able to get a good death!" ”

Intimidation, this is naked intimidation. Zhao Jiu is also a family man, his parents are still in Guangdong, he is taken care of by his brother and sister-in-law, he has a wife and a daughter, both of whom live in the Chen family, and he was also arrested in Yamen at this time.

Hearing Chen Weihan's intimidation, Zhao Jiu couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and became afraid. He knew that Chen Weihan had a wide range of roads, and he testified against him in court, afraid that his family would not be able to eat any good fruits. He turned around and looked at Yue Su timidly, as if asking Yue Su for help.

"Chen Weihan, above the lobby of this mansion, you dare to intimidate witnesses! Left and right, don't pull him aside, a major forty board! As he spoke, he threw down the fire stick.

The errand officer was ordered, and he immediately started to press Chen Weihan, but this old guy's power was really not small, he shouted, "You dare!" Although the old man unloaded his armor and returned to the field, he also worked as a guerrilla general, so why did he beat me without evidence, don't you know the laws of the imperial court! ”

Should I say it or not, his voice is really good, but he frightened the errand who came up, and he didn't dare to do it immediately, but turned his head to look at Yue Su who was sitting up.

"You also know the laws of the court? I think you know the law and break the law! It is your sin to intimidate witnesses in court, what are you still doing left and right? Hit me hard! ”

Seeing that the adults were angry, the servants did not hesitate, anyway, they were an errand boy, and the one sitting on top let him fight, let's fight, and the adults will bear it.

The four officers pushed Chen Weihan to the ground, took off his pants, picked up the board and started fighting. Chen Weihan didn't look like he was born in the army, but he was old after all, and when he went down for forty boards, he grinned with his teeth, and almost lost half of his life.

The old man's relatives knelt on the side, and when they heard the cry of pain, they all turned their faces away, and they could not bear to look at it.

After beating Chen Weihan, Yue Su saw that his injuries were not light, and he was not in a hurry to interrogate him immediately, but said: "Zhang Wei, Wang Shun, you two go out to recognize people for me, and find out the mother-in-law who went to Puci Temple this morning." ”

"Yes!" ……

Zhang Wei and Wang Shun agreed, walked out of the lobby, and went to the courtyard to find the two mothers-in-law.

The two of them said in the transfer hall: "My lord, those two mothers-in-law are not outside. ”

"Are you two sure?"

"Sure!"

Hearing that the two mothers-in-law were not there, Yue Su's heart fell, which made it even more certain that Chen Weihan was suspected of murdering the county lord. "After those two mothers-in-law returned home today, did they come out again?"

"My lord, the door we are guarding is not coming out."

Hearing that Yue Su knew about the two mothers-in-law, Chen Weihan was shocked, he didn't expect this Lord Yue to be so powerful, he had only been in office for a few days, and he was staring at his subordinates.

Yue Su pondered for a moment and said, "The two of you will go to the Chen Mansion to find Yin Zhu now, and ask him to check if the two mothers-in-law have gone out again after returning to the house, and if they do, they will send someone to keep an eye on them." If you don't go out, then go to the yard and continue to search for me, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find someone for me! ”

"My subordinates understand!" Zhang Wei and Wang Shun got the order and immediately trotted out of the mansion and went to Chen's mansion.

Yue Su said again: "Chen Weihan, you also know that this is the crime of exterminating the clan, and you dare not admit it, but have you ever thought about which of the crimes you have committed is not enough to exterminate the clan?" Poisoning the county lord and the county horse, poisoning the court officials, no matter which one, is enough to make your whole family die for a round trip! If you know each other, now reveal the truth, and this government can show grace outside the law and leave roots and seedlings for your Chen family. Otherwise, under the heavy punishment, I don't believe that none of your Chen family knows the truth, can they all survive this torture in the court! ”

Chen Weihan was lying on the ground, he never dreamed that Yue Su knew everything about his own affairs. But now, as long as he recruits, he will be sentenced to death, and the officials of the imperial court will talk like a fart in their words, which the old guy knows. Anyway, the government knows the details, he is the only one, and even if the others know a little, it will not affect the overall situation. As long as he bites to death desperately, the court cannot convict him, and his family may still have a way to live.

Holding on to his luck, he closed his eyes and didn't say a word.

Yue Su waited for a while, and when he saw that he still didn't speak, he said, "Chen Weihan, haven't you thought it through for so long?" Well, don't blame the official for being unkind to you now! Come on, put him on the chain of fire for me! ”

"Yes!" The messenger shouted, stepped forward together, lifted Chen Weihan up, took a few steps forward, and pressed his calves against the fire chain.

This time, Yue Su placed three chains of fire, which had to be pressed up, and the person would not be crippled, and then the ghost would come out. The fiery red chain of fire will make you palpitate at a glance, but the old man still closes his eyes tightly, his teeth are locked, and it seems that he has been released. His family closed their eyes, and no one dared to look at this scene.

But at this moment, there was an errand outside: "My lord, Guizhou Deputy General You Chuancheng, and the generals Cheng Chaoxiang and Lin Xiaofeng ask to see you!" ”
