Originally, the trial should have started after these thieves were caught, but in the past few days, Yang Chengzu has been in the Mixed Gang again, and he has been to Xiaotiezhuang, so he has delayed this matter.

After a class in the yamen, he only asked if it was a defeated soldier from Shaanxi, but he didn't ask for the confession that the big man wanted, and several team leaders were taken by the leader, and no one interrogated this person. In addition, they had no money to pay for, and no one even gave them food in the cell, and when Yang Chengzu was arraigned, these people only had half of their lives left.

In this way, Yang Chengzu's interrogation work is much easier, these people's bones have long been starved and soft, as long as they are given food, they can answer all questions, and they will definitely not persist any longer.

Their confessions are similar to the information provided by Ruxian, these people are all local people in Henan, and when the imperial court sent soldiers to Shaanxi, they were recruited by the people and filled into the army of the master.

In the barracks, the master's status was the lowest, and he not only had to undertake all kinds of heavy manual labor on weekdays, but also had to carry armor and weapons for the soldiers. And although they are responsible for transporting grain and grass, they have never eaten enough, two meals a day, and a meal of sixty percent full has to be counted with sand, and they have never seen meat, and their lives are miserable. When it was time to face the enemy, he had to rush to the top of the tank with a so-called weapon in his hand, and even if he won the battle, he would not be rewarded with a salary.

As a result, the ferocity of the Mongolian iron cavalry, the Ming army's position did not last long before it was rushed by the cavalry, and those masters scattered and fled for their lives.

It's just that they don't have any money in their hands, and they come begging for food along the way, thinking that they will go home like this and be sorry for the family, so they want to make a fortune. When he heard that the gentry of Huaxian County had scraped together a sum of money to build a temple, the man was furious. We don't have money to eat, but you still have money to build a temple?

Since he has the money to repair the temple, he naturally has the money to do something else, and he heard that the county order has made a fragrant building, and he thinks that this is a dirty official. When they were in the army, they heard how Jinyiwei was good, Uncle Pingyu was majestic, and anyone who heard the word Jinyiwei had to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, and if they wanted silver, they had to give silver, and if they wanted a wife, they had to give it to their wives. simply had the idea of pretending to be a brocade and defrauding a sum of money.

After Yang Chengzu waited for them to record their confessions, he slapped the table, "What nonsense!" It seems that if you don't move the punishment, you are not willing to tell the truth, come on, let them see, our Jinyiwei's means. ”

Song Liansheng and the others are basically obedient to his orders now, after all, they are using their own money to buy shares and earn money for the entire Xiaoqi. On this matter alone, no one can speak ill of him, and a few old brocade clothes started together, and the crying father and mother of those military men were screaming again and again.

Yang Chengzu ordered someone to prepare a pot of rice porridge and a few pots of pickles, and pointed with his hand: "As long as you tell the truth, these foods are yours." You should know that the crime is a great crime of killing the head, and no matter what, this knife cannot be avoided. For you at the moment, there are two paths, either be a full ghost or be an unlucky ghost. Where to go, choose for yourself. ”

Those few soldiers were already dying after being tossed, and when they saw eating and drinking, they didn't care about anything, kowtowing like pounding garlic, "The lord spares his life, the lord is gracious." We're telling the truth, and we really don't know what to do anymore. ”

"You're getting one thing wrong." Yang Chengzu looked at them with a smile on his face, "What you are saying is not the truth, only what I approve is called the truth." Next, I said that he remembered, you are only responsible for drawing the detention, and if you do all this well, you will have food, and if you don't do it well, you will be punished, do you understand? ”

He remembered what Li Yu'e asked, so he asked: "Let me ask you, we have a good man in Henan, named Li Xiong, who is a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, do you know his whereabouts?" ”

When those soldiers heard Li Xiong's name, a man said, "You also listen to Li Xiong and General Li?" A few days ago, a master in the yamen had come to ask, we did know each other, we were all from Henan, everyone was in a battalion, and his old man was our Shangguan. He was indeed a good man, with a horse and a gun, he went up against the Mongols, and picked three in one go. It's a pity, there are thousands of troops on the battlefield, and he is a hero who has a bird, and in the end he is not hit by a random arrow, and the person will definitely not be able to do it, and he doesn't even know where his head has gone. ”

"You mean, Li Xiong and Li Qianhu were killed?" Yang Chengzu actually had a preparation for this matter in his heart, he had not seen a letter from his family for so long, and it was estimated that this person would not succeed. However, after getting the confessions from these criminals, I still felt quite uncomfortable in my heart, and I couldn't help asking, "Have you ever remembered it accurately?" If you make a mistake, don't blame the official for being polite. ”

Another convict said, "Yes, it can't be wrong. As soon as he said that, I remembered it too. I have heard that Mr. Li is a thousand households in brocade clothes, and he has actually given him a general manager. It is said that he should not have been recruited, but Gong Huaien, the eunuch of Henan Town, knew that he had a lot of furniture, so he deliberately called his name, hoping that he would use the money to save him from this call-up. How do you know that General Li didn't know which tendon was wrong, but he was tidying up and draped, and when he really came to the front of the army, Eunuch Gong was furious, so he sent him to the vanguard camp, and sure enough, he died in battle. Speaking of which, someone asked me a few days ago, and that's what we said. ”

When Yang Chengzu heard this, he knew that most of this matter could not be faked, Li Xiong was a nominal brocade who was not in charge of health affairs, that is, an official who did not work. He doesn't even care about Jinyiwei's affairs, from common sense, how can it be his turn to go to the battlefield? Now when I hear it, most of it is a big trick, and Liao Huaien knows about the Li family's furniture, and he blackmails him with this matter, but he didn't expect Li Xiong's brain to be open, but it ruined his life.

It's just that someone still asks? I thought that most of it was Jiao Rong's guy who came to ask, but after he asked, why didn't he say it, otherwise the second sister of the Li family would not ask him.

Since he finished asking about this matter, he also ordered a few prisoners to be put into custody, and he took the confession to meet the new Zabai brother Zhang Jiayin.

When Zhang Xianzun got the confession, he was also overjoyed, "The White Lotus Sect from a neighboring county? Good, great, the word neighboring county is especially good. Jin Yiwei's means, today I am completely convinced, these two words are cleverly added, haha, old brother, you have helped my brother a lot this time. ”

The magistrate does not mention military exploits, and no matter how many bandits are killed, in principle, it is of little significance to Zhang Jiayin. If he ruled the white lotus, he would let Shangguan record a black account on his performance. If the origin of these white lotus thieves is written to the neighboring county, it is a plan to blame Jiangdong, especially Zhang Jiayin has a feud with the county commander of the neighboring county.

This matter involves a pen war between the two counties, and the public news is exchanged, and I don't know how many back and forth I have to tear up, this is not an occasion that Yang Chengzu can mix. After he just handed over this confession, he casually mentioned the matter of Tie Zhongying's daughter Tie Sango, Zhang Jiayin said: "Brother General, it is not difficult to say this, but how did she enter the public door of a daughter's house?" We may not have a woman in Daming, so we can't let her be a forbidden woman, that's all done by a married woman, she is not suitable. ”

"Brother Jiang, I don't mean to let her really enter the public door, it's just to make up her name and eat food. In addition, I have a good thing here to say to my brother, that part of the fields of Xiaotiezhuang can be taxed. ”
