Chapter 20: Confessions
"Chen Weihan, this official doesn't have so much time to spend with you, ask you again, whether you recruit or not!"
After You Chuancheng and Cheng Chaoxiang sat down, Yue Su looked at Chen Weihan again, this time his tone was very gentle, but everyone in the hall could hear that this was the prelude before the storm. As long as Chen Weihan does not confess, only the chain of fire awaits him.
Chen Weihan had just been snatched by Lin Xiaofeng, and he was originally supported by Lin Xiaofeng, but when Lin Xiaofeng was tied up, he was now lying on the ground. He's already eaten the scales, no matter how you ask, I just don't say anything.
"Good! Since you still don't recruit, don't blame this government for being ruthless! Chaine him to me! ”
The officers were unceremonious this time, the adjutant generals and staff generals are now honest in front of the master, what are you afraid of. Set up Chen Weihan, come to the fire chain, and go down to the next case.
"Ah......h
"Snort" "Snort" "Snort" ......
As soon as Chen Weihan's calf touched the three fire chains, he screamed miserably, fainted in pain, and the fire chains touched the flesh and skin, and three green smoke came out.
Such a non-punishment was simply shocking, and everyone in the hall lowered their heads when they saw it. Rao is You Chuancheng, Lin Xiaofeng, and Cheng Chaoxiang are military generals, and they can't help but palpitate. For the three of them, what is more worried is that this case will be on themselves, under this kind of criminal law, let alone that you are really committing a crime, even if you are innocent, I am afraid that you will not be able to survive the punishment, and you will be beaten into a trick.
"Pull him aside and wake him up with cold water!"
The messenger dragged Chen Weihan up, and the trousers of his calf had been burned away, revealing charred bones, and the skin and flesh were burned to shreds as soon as they touched the fire chain, and they were stained on the iron chain.
After pouring two basins of cold water, he woke up slowly, his eyes opened, and he inevitably felt pain, moaning incessantly, and his face was full of pain.
"Chen Weihan, although this government is not Dongchang and Jinyiwei, but in the trial of such a serious case, it is inevitable to use torture. You have experienced what the chain of fire tastes like, and it's not too late to confess. ”
Chen Weihan still didn't speak, his eyes closed, his teeth clenched, and he didn't say a word.
"I didn't expect your bones to be so hard! Anyway, if you are punished again, this government is afraid that you will die. This kind of important case, it is inevitable that there is no party with the same party, everyone in the Chen Mansion is a suspect, and this government will start with your son! ”
After Yue Su finished speaking, he looked at Chen Weihan's eldest son, Chen Songquan, stretched out his finger, and said, "You come and answer, how did your father murder the county lord, and where are those two Gu mothers-in-law now?" If you recruit truthfully, the government will be extrajudicial and save your life, if you insist on not recruiting, your father will be your example! ”
"My lord, Xiaomin really doesn't know." When Chen Songquan saw Yue Su pointing at him, he trembled with fright, and almost fainted.
"If you don't know, then let your father say it, if your father insists on not saying it, you will blame the ruthlessness of this house! Your father's crime is enough to wipe out the clan, and even if this government cripples you, no one can say a word! Yue Su said loudly and threateningly.
Chen Songquan is nearly 50 years old, and he has always been inactive, unable to write civil, martial arts, and pampered and pampered. He also saw the appearance of his father kneeling on the fire chain just now, and he was almost scared to death, so he hurriedly looked at his father and said, "Dad, you can recruit it, don't cause your son to suffer." ”
Chen Weihan closed his eyes and was silent, as if he hadn't heard. Yue Su also looked at Chen Weihan, and when he saw that this old man was really calm, he smiled and said: "Listen to the Chen family, this mansion is generous and unwilling to torture, so as not to be scolded by the world as a cool official." But this case is very important, it is not impossible to do it, and whoever wants to tell the truth of this case, this government guarantees extrajudicial mercy and leaves him with a surname, but if he refuses to confess, he will press you one by one to the chain of fire and taste the taste! If you still don't confess under the chain of fire, you can see the oil pot placed on the side, and the government will inevitably put your hands and feet in it and fry it, and if you recruit again at that time, you will inevitably end up with a lifelong disability. Think carefully about whether to recruit or not! ”
After saying this, the hall can be fried, as long as you don't say it, whether you know it or not, you will be punished. These two criminal laws, one more cruel than the other, can be crippled, and it is estimated that the edict is nothing more than that.
The old and young of the Chen family looked at Chen Weihan one by one, crying and shouting, "Master, you can do it." "Dad, just say it." "Grandpa, I don't want to kneel on that chain, you can say it quickly." ……
More than a dozen people were crying and begging Chen Weihan to confess. Kneeling in the third row was the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion, and the chief housekeeper Chen Ran looked at Chen Weihan and said, "Master, you have recruited it, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than the destruction of the door." If you don't recruit you, after such torture, the Chen family will all suffer, end up with a lifelong disability, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be destroyed. If you recruit and still destroy the door, can that group still go to the Netherworld to hunt us down? Master, don't let your family suffer needlessly, let's do it. ”
Hearing this, Chen Weihan's tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, he smiled bitterly, opened his eyes, looked at Yue Su, and said, "Lord Yue, I'll recruit!" But after I recruit, can the adults be trustworthy and leave roots and seedlings for my Chen family. ”
"Chen Weihan, if you confess truthfully, this government will be true to its word, and will do its best to leave a bloodline for your Chen family." In such cases, the report is bound to be reported, and the clan will be exterminated according to the law, Yue Su said that he would do his best, but in fact, he was not sure. At best, he is extremely emotional.
"I hope that the adults can make a promise, in this case, the old decay is also grateful under the nine springs." After Chen Weihan finished speaking, he smiled bitterly again and said: "My Chen family can have today, and I blame the old man for being obsessed with money and making a fool......
It turned out that Chen Weihan had done business with the Japanese in Guangdong when he was in office, and to put it bluntly, he sold stolen goods for the Japanese in the mainland and saved a lot of belongings. It was unfortunate to say that he was included in a book by the local imperial history on trumped-up charges, saying that he ate empty quotas. This kind of thing, all generals do it, and they can only blame him for not having enough weight in the background. In the end, he resigned and returned to his hometown to retire. Originally, he wanted to go home for a few days as a rich man, but he didn't expect that the would-be with him half a year ago came to the door again, gave him a lot of benefits, and invited him to join the Dragon Slaying Gang. He was reluctant to agree, but the Japanese made threatening words, saying that if he didn't join, he would poke out the matter of the Japanese people, which was a big crime to destroy the family. Chen Weihan had no choice but to agree.
Two days after the Japanese left, two Miao mothers-in-law came to defect with the tokens of the Dragon Slaying Gang, Chen Weihan had promised to join the gang, so he couldn't help but take them in, the two mothers-in-law were very mysterious, saying that they didn't want people to see their whereabouts, so Chen Weihan built a secret room and hid the two inside.
Later, someone came to find these two mothers-in-law once, and when the mother-in-law came back, he asked Chen Weihan to send someone to the county lord's mansion to inquire about the life and death of the county horse. He is also a capable person, and immediately knew that it was the hands of the two mothers-in-law, so he went to question, but the mother-in-law only said that he was acting on orders, and he also took out a token, indicating that his identity was slightly higher than Chen Weihan, and asked him not to ask more, just be obedient.
Now Chen Weihan is already difficult to ride a tiger, so he has to continue to obey the command, and later the two mothers-in-law poisoned the prefect Wang Shengcai. Moreover, not long after the two mothers-in-law carried out the task, someone would always send a large amount of gold and silver, and the mother-in-law would not take a penny, but would reward all of them to the Chen family, so that Chen Weihan would also serve willingly.
It is the sin of destroying the door, and poisoning a county horse is also the sin of destroying the door, so he will be wrong. Now that he has poisoned the county lord, he has failed, and with the previous case, it is estimated that the three clans will be wiped out, not to mention. Therefore, Chen Weihan did not dare to confess, and he was also afraid of the revenge of the Dragon Slaying Gang. However, as soon as Chen Ran said it, he was also relieved, both horizontal and vertical were dead, it was better to say it, maybe Yue Su could be true to his word and keep a little blood in the family.
After listening to Chen Weihan's narration, the court was full of shock, especially Chuancheng, Cheng Chaoxiang, and Lin Xiaofeng were in a cold sweat. Now their hearts are even more up and down, for fear that Chen Weihan will open his mouth and bite indiscriminately, as long as this matter is touched, it will be destroyed.
Yue Su, who was seated, nodded slightly, and said, "Chen Weihan, this mansion asks you again, do you know why the Dragon Slaying Gang wanted to murder the county lord, the county horse, and the Wang Governor's Mansion?" What does the dead Tong Yong Ge have to do with you? You said that in the past, whenever there was a task, someone would come to inform you, but where did the person who passed it on come from? Are those two mothers-in-law who can play tricks in the secret room now, and where is the secret room in your house? What does the Dragon Slayer Gang token you just said look like? ”
Faced with Yue Su's series of questions, Chen Weihan did not hesitate and answered them one by one. "Back to my lord, the old man once asked the two mothers-in-law why they wanted to poison these people, but they never said it, and they also showed the token, so that I could do things honestly. I don't know what Ge Yong is all about. But it is also a coincidence that in the past, the people who passed on the mission were all people dressed as family members, but a few days after Ge Yong's death, that is, he notified the county lord to poison this time, but it was a living person. He asked me to send someone to pay close attention to the county lord's movements, and once I went out, find out where I was going, and as long as it was easy to do it, let the two mothers-in-law set off immediately. The two mothers-in-law are still in the house, hidden in the secret passage, the secret passage is in my study, the family does not know about it, and the entrance is behind a landscape painting on the wall. The token of the Dragon Slaying Gang, in the drawer of my bookcase, has a lock on it, and the adults let them smash it open. ”
The suicide of Ge Yong has long been rumored in Tongren City, Chen Weihan is not a fool, seeing that after Ge Yong's death, the person who delivered the news changed, this comparison immediately associated with Ge Yong Bacheng has something to do with this case. At that time, he also asked the person who came to ask what person who delivered the news had changed, and the person who came only said that there was no need to ask more.
"Excellent! Tie Qiu, you also heard Chen Weihan's confession, now take someone to Chen's house, capture the two Gu mothers-in-law, and bring back the tokens of the Dragon Slaying Gang. ”
"Subordinates obey!" Tie Qiu agreed, led twenty catchers, drove out of the mansion, and went straight to Chen's mansion.
When Tie Qi went down, Yue Su asked again: "You said that the people who delivered the news to you are all subordinates of the Tongju Mansion, what is that person, you should also remember, right?" ”
"Old man remembers."
"That's just right!" Yue Su shouted, "Come on, bring me all the Ge Yong family members detained in the prison!" ”
"Yes!"
