Chapter Twenty-Three: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole

Yue Su's question happened to poke at Wu Bin's backbone, if he hadn't seen it, he didn't know if Feng Pozi had confessed after being brought in, in case he did, it was estimated that he would be convicted of making a false confession and have a meal. Come to think of it, it's better to make an ambiguous answer.

"Back to my lord, it's been too long, and I can't remember it clearly. I seem to have seen it, but I don't seem to have seen it. ”

"Hahahaha......" Yue Su laughed and said, "Wu Gongzi is worthy of being a scholar, and every answer is leaky. As he spoke, he slammed the startled wood, "It's just that above my lobby, I can't tolerate your dispensable answer." Say! Whether I've seen it or not! ”

"It's been so long, I really can't remember. The student asks rhetorically, "If I ask you, what you ate last night and who you met on the street last year, can you remember?" ”

"It's really sharp-toothed, then the official will remind you. On November 23 last year, the Zhang family was working in the small courtyard of the North Point of your house, and you went there and asked Mrs. Feng, who was in charge, to take all the other workers away, leaving only you and the Zhang family in the courtyard. At that time, what did you do and what did you do? ”

After listening to Yue Su's words, Wu Bin knew that Mrs. Feng had made all the moves, and if he couldn't come up with a prevarication, he would definitely not pass this level. After thinking about it, Wu Bin suddenly sighed and said: "Zhang's appearance is beautiful, there are many rumors in the house, and the students are curious for a while, so they go to watch. I deliberately took Mrs. Feng and the others away, leaving only the Zhang family alone, telling her my feelings, and promising that if I did a good thing with me, I would give Guo Kai some silver to let him divorce his wife, and then take the Zhang family as a concubine. Zhang's is also a greedy and vain person, when he saw me say this, he immediately agreed, and the two of us were in the hospital for a while, and then I left, I don't know why Zhang's died. I thought it must have been Cui Gui and Diao Liang who were greedy for their beauty, and when they saw Zhang alone in the courtyard, they killed him. I also hope that the adults will catch the real culprit and bring him to justice. ”

Anyway, there is no way to prove it, Wu Bin simply pressed all the charges on Cui Gui and Diao Liang's heads, and at most he was annihilated, at best, he would get rid of his fame, and then reward him with a board, what else could he do. If you use a big punishment, you would rather die than recruit, and no third party will see this, and if you can't get Cui Gui and Diao Liang, there is no evidence.

"According to what you say, everything is done by Cui Gui and Diao Liang?" Seeing that Wu Bin pushed everything on Cui Gui and Diao Liang, Yue Su was not angry, but a smile appeared on his face.

Yue Su's smile made Wu Bin's heart furious, and he nodded again and again, "It's indeed these two people." ”

"Since you admit to being annihilated, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, you must get rid of your fame and eighty rods. Someone! Draw him to be executed! ”

The clerk's office first asked Wu Bin to draw a charge, and then the messenger stepped forward and held down Wu Bin, and it was another board. Wu Bin's buttocks have been beaten to the flesh, and after eighty more boards, his buttocks are blurred with flesh and blood, and his body can't even move.

Yue Su sneered, and said: "Your testimony alone, this official can't be trusted, everything can only be confirmed until Cui Gui and Diao Liang are brought to the case." But you immediately admit that Tong Annihilation is an important suspect in this case, and he will be sent to prison for retrial later. Mrs. Feng, Su Cai, and He Fa are important witnesses in this case, and they were all imprisoned and withdrawn! ”

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

Yue Su turned back to the back house with Jin Cicada and Tie Qiu, and as soon as he entered the door of the back house, he saw a servant sweeping the floor, this person swept very slowly, carrying a broom, and only dangled in front of Yue Su's house. Yue Su was secretly happy in his heart, deliberately kicked a stone in front of him heavily, and said angrily: "What a Wu Bin, avoid the important and light, I am really angry with my own official!" ”

"Adults don't have to be angry, when Cui Gui and Diao Liang are caught, everything will be revealed." Seeing that Yue Su was angry, Jin Chan thought that it was for the sake of the court, so he hurriedly persuaded him.

Unexpectedly, Yue Su's fire was even greater, he sat down on the stone bench on the side, turned his back to the sweeping servant, slapped the stone table, and said: "What do you know, that Cui Gui and Diao Liang are already dead, where can I arrest these two people." ”

"Dead...... Yes, with the style of the samurai, eighty percent will kill these two people. What should we do now, should we let Wu Bin get away with it? Jin Chan sat next to Yue Su, and when he saw Yue Su giving him a look, he expected that there was another article in it.

"How can I let him get away with it, today I deliberately put him in prison just to eliminate harm for the people. His martial arts family has always been against his own officials, and he bullies others, is it only if they know how to kill people and kill people, can this official only stick to the rules? ”

"Your Excellency, what do you mean......"

"Tieqiu, you go and tell Guo Kai to bring it from the back office." Yue Su suddenly said this.

Tie Qiu took the order to go, and brought Guo Kai to Yue Su in a moment, Guo Kai in the public court had already seen Yue Su make decisions for himself, and beat Wu Bin, but there was no conclusive evidence to prove that Wu Bin killed people.

"Uh-uh......" As soon as Wu Bin arrived, he knelt down and kowtowed to Yue Su vigorously.

Yue Su asked Tie Qi to help him up, and said: "Guo Kai, you have also seen the situation in the court today, because Cui Gui and Diao Liang were not arrested, and there is no sufficient evidence to prove that Wu Bin killed your wife, he can only be temporarily imprisoned." ”

"Uh-uh......" Guo Kai nodded repeatedly, his face full of gratitude.

"This official is bent on avenging you, how can the evidence be insufficient, it is estimated that Cui Gui and Diao Liang have now been wiped out by the Wu family, and after a while, then Wu Bin will still be at large." Speaking of this, Yue Su paused deliberately, and then said, "This official is asking you a word now, do you really want to take revenge?" ”

"Uh-uh......" Guo Kai nodded desperately.

"That being the case, the official can give you a chance, but there is a word first, this is to take your surname, are you willing?"

"Uh-uh......" Guo Kai listened, still nodding desperately. Now that his tongue is gone, he has become a waste, for him, survival has lost its meaning, and the only faith that supports him to live is revenge.

"If you have the courage, this officer can fulfill you. You also heard Wu Bin's answer in the hall, he said that he was annihilated with your wife, can you believe it? ”

Zhang has always been virtuous, if he said that his wife was annihilated by others, how could Guo Kai believe it, his head shook like a rattle, his teeth were bitten fiercely, and his eyes seemed to be able to breathe flames.

"You don't believe it, and the official doesn't believe it, I guess it's fake, ** it's true. Now Wu Bin has been beaten and put in prison, and he doesn't even have the strength to move. If you want to take revenge, this is an opportunity, and the official can lock you up with him, and he doesn't need to teach you how to take revenge. So, would you like to? ”

"Uh-uh......" Guo Kai gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously, it was best to be able to slash the enemy.

Yue Su smiled and said, "It's just that after you kill Wu Bin, you can't live, otherwise you will implicate the official, so you have to die after revenge!" ”

"Uh-uh......" Guo Kai still nodded. For him, as long as he can take revenge, he will die! It's no longer interesting to be alive.

"Good. I will fulfill you. Jin Chan, wait for Guo Kai to be put in prison and put him in a cell with Wu Bin. But remember, don't rush to do it, wait until after the third watch, and the jailers will be asleep. ”

"Yes, sir." Jin Cicada agreed. Guo Kai knelt down and kowtowed to Yue Su.

Yue Su asked Tie Qiu to put Guo Kai in prison first, and then returned to his room with Jin Chan. As soon as he entered the door, Yue Su leaned on the window and carefully observed to see how the sweeping servant reacted.

The kid waited for Yue Su to enter the house, tiptoed to the door, listened attentively, Yue Su looked carefully and quietly walked to Jin Chan's side, and deliberately said: "You will stay in the prison tonight, wait until Wu Bin dies, Guo Kai commits suicide, and then come back." ”

"Understood." Jin Chan didn't understand why Yue Su came up with this idea, but because he hated the martial arts family and sympathized with Guo Kai, he thought that there was no way out.

After Yue Su finished speaking, he didn't say any more, and quietly slipped to the window to observe the movements of the servants outside the door. The servant saw that there was no sound in the room, and then slowly walked towards the back door. When you get to the door, throw the broom aside, open the door and go. Yue Su saw him leave, turned around and walked to the side of Jin Cicada, and said: "Just now the wall has ears, and it is inconvenient to speak, you must remember that after Guo Kai is taken into prison, there is no need to lock him up together, just guard him separately." Also, no one will be allowed to go to the prison tonight. ”

This time, Jin Cicada was confused, he really couldn't understand what medicine was sold in Yue Su's gourd, and wanted to inquire, Yue Su waved his hand at him and said with a smile: "Don't ask more, you will know." ”

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

After the servant Xiaosi went out, he ran straight to the Wufu, and just before he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he met Xia Kuan coming in a sedan chair. Xia Kuan got out of the sedan chair and saw the sweeping servant running in a panic, and wondered: "Little Si, why are you so flustered, is there anything urgent?" ”

"Something big is going to happen." Xiao Si gasped and said.

"What's the big deal?" Xia Kuan glanced left and right, and said, "It's inconvenient to talk here, let's go into the mansion and say." ”

The two entered the Martial Mansion, Xiao Si breathed a few breaths, and whispered: "When I was sweeping the floor just now, I saw Lord Yue walking into the back house in a hurry, saying that Young Master Wu avoided the important and light, and there was no way to take him, and later said that he was ready to eliminate harm for the people, and found Guo Kai, saying that he would be imprisoned in the prison of Young Master Wu tonight, and he would take revenge on himself." ”

"What?" When Xia Kuan heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and said, "This is okay, let's hurry up and inform Master Wu." ”

Quickly came to the Wujia Flower Hall, and saw Wu Kui sitting on his hand with a gloomy face, and the maids and maids were hiding far away, for fear of touching the mold.

Wu Kui saw Xia Kuan coming in, his face was a little softer, and when he saw Xiao Si following behind, he hurriedly asked, "Xiao Si, why are you here, is there any new news?" ”

Xiao Si is the eyes and ears of Wu Kui specially sent into the yamen, and he has never been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, as long as he arrives at the house, something must happen.

"Master, it's a big deal...... Xiao Si was about to repeat what he had just said to Xia Kuan.

When Wu Kui heard this, he was angry, slapped the table heavily, and said angrily: "Bin'er is seriously injured now, and he can't even move, let Guo Kai be with him, then it's okay!" After speaking, Wu Kui's body shook and said to Xia Kuan: "Lord Xia, what can I do?" ”

Xia Kuan thought for a while and said, "Yue Su's move is really amazing, Guo Kai is still guilty, and it is normal to be imprisoned." He killed the young master in prison, and then committed suicide, but there was no evidence, and he couldn't be planted on his head Yue Su. Poison ......"

Hearing this, Wu Kui gritted his teeth and said, "Don't talk about those useless things, hurry up and find a way to save my family Bin'er." ”

Xia Kuan looked a little helpless, and said: "The only way to do this is to let me go to the prison and keep an eye on them, and not let them have a chance to do it, but this is not a long-term solution, as long as Cui Gui and Diao Liang can't be caught, Yue Su still has a reason not to let go." It seems that the elder brother wants to spend more money, and ask the prefect to come forward to bail the young master out. ”

"Silver is a trivial matter, but I'm afraid that far water can't quench the thirst of the near."

"Brother Wu doesn't need to worry, didn't Xiao Si say that he would do it in the third watch, when the time comes, I will go to the prison to keep an eye on it, and I will survive tonight first. Brother Wu will send someone to bring the silver to the prefect's yamen now, the sooner the better. ”

He had no choice but to nod, and according to Xia Kuan's words, he ordered someone to prepare the silver immediately. Then he looked at Xiao Si and said, "You go back quickly, watch carefully, I will send someone to wait for you at the back door of the county office, if you see them do it, come out and notify them immediately." ”

"The little one understands." Xiao Si agreed, and hurriedly returned to the county office.

As soon as he returned to the county government's house, Xiao Si heard that Jin Chan had just put Guo Kai in prison. The reason why other servants also saw it was not because he deliberately revealed the news to him.

After getting the news, he immediately informed the servant of the martial arts at the back door.

Wu Kui and Xia Kuan have been waiting in the flower hall, Xia Kuan is still calm, and Wu Kui's heart is up and down. This old guy is born as a thief in Jiangyang, he is usually ruthless, but he does things safely, but once the matter falls on his son, it will inevitably be a little messy.

As soon as the servant said the latest information he would get, Wu Kui immediately said, "Lord Xia, you should hurry up and go to the prison to guard." ”

Xia Kuan smiled slightly and said, "Martial brothers, don't worry, they may not be able to do it now, don't be impatient." You can't go now, and if you say it's a prison inspection, it's not convenient to stay in the prison all night and wait until the second watch to go. ”

"Okay......" Wu Kui felt reasonable, even if he was in a hurry, he could only endure it for the time being.

In ancient times, there were five watches a night, two hours each, one is now from seven to nine o'clock in the evening, and the second is from nine to eleven o'clock in the evening.

After waiting for two hours, Wu Kui really couldn't sit still, drinking one cup of tea after another, and finally waited for the second watch, seeing that Xia Kuan still didn't move. At this time, he really couldn't bear it anymore, and said eagerly: "Master Xia, you hurry up, my son ate the board during the day, Guo Kai is looking for him desperately, how can he have the strength to fight back." "Wu Bin is his only son, if he really has three long and two short, how can he stand this old bone.

Xia Kuan saw that Wu Kui was really in a hurry, so he arched his hand and said, "Brother Wu, then I'll set off." ”

After saying that, lift your ass and go. The county Cheng's subordinates also had several servants called, and he had already recruited all his subordinates and followed him straight to the county jail.

When he came to the prison, the door was closed, and Xia Kuan said loudly, "Knock on the door for me." ”

An errand officer stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the "bell" and "bell" knocked for a long time before someone inside shouted: "Who, what are you knocking on at night, you want to rob the prison!" ”

"It's Lord Chengxia from the county who came to inspect the prison, open the door quickly." The officer shouted.

"What are you here to inspect so late, if you want to inspect, come tomorrow morning!" The people inside just talked, and didn't seem to mean to open the door.

"You kid don't want to eat this mouthful, Lord Xia asked you to open the door, but you still haven't opened the door!" The officer shouted angrily.

"I said brother, if I open the door, this bowl of rice will be really uneatable. The master has an order, once the unitary is over, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes, he can't open the door. Don't be embarrassed for me, besides, in the middle of the night, come to check what kind of prison. ”

Xia Kuan heard clearly outside, knowing that it must be the golden cicada inside who would not let the door open. Xia Kuan didn't have the courage to break in, you are a county man, who gave you the right to check the prison in the middle of the night, smash open the door and break in, that is the crime of robbing the prison, once you start to do it, it will be cut to death. You must know that this is not daytime, smashing open the prison door, there is a chance that you will do it, and after hacking to death, you will be charged with a crime, and it will not make sense to be reasonable. Who told you to come and smash the prison in the middle of the night?

Xia Kuan thought in his heart, it is resolute to break through, so as not to fall into the hands of others, I might as well wait here, if you dare to let Guo Kai kill Wu Bin, even if Guo Kai commits suicide, I will also participate in the constitution. If you have an inside line to implement the confession, you can't get out of it. The reason why Xia Kuan was able to be so calm was because Wu Bin was not his son. And this plan, he has already had it, but it is inconvenient to say it in front of Wu Kui, because he will not agree to kill Wu Kui if he sits back and watch his son die.

Wu Kui on the other end was different, he stayed at home because he was restless, and sent several groups of people out to inquire about the situation, and when he heard that Xia Kuan was hanging outside, he was so anxious. hurriedly called Sun Dacheng over and discussed countermeasures with him.

Sun Dacheng now lives in a house opposite the Wufu, and when he heard the call of his father-in-law, he immediately rushed there. As soon as Wu Kui said this, Sun Dacheng was also a person who had rolled in the officialdom, and immediately guessed Xia Kuan's intentions, "Lord Yue, this Xia Kuan is sitting back and enjoying his success." As long as my brother-in-law dies tonight, he will get the truth tomorrow and go to Yuesu. There is his inside line in the prison, and he can charge Yue Su with dereliction of duty at the worst, and when Yue Su falls, he may be able to make up for the errand of the county order. ”

As soon as he heard this, Wu Kui slapped the table angrily and said, "I know that he Xia Kuan has bad intentions, and he just wants to bring down Yue Su to the throne, but it is not his son who is locked up inside, and he is not distressed." I'm so old, old man, only Bin'er is a son, if he dies, what's the point of me still alive. Dacheng, I'm a little confused now, you can help me find a way to see how I can save Bin'er. ”

"Uncle Yue, looking at it now, there are only two ways, one is to rob the prison, but the risk is too great, this Yue Su will never give up, and there are more than 20 jailers in the prison, if we really do it, we will inevitably have deaths and injuries. In case we can't get it for a moment, and their reinforcements arrive, we're done. ”

"And what's the second way?" Wu Kui hurriedly asked.

"The second is to do nothing and keep going, directly get rid of Yue Su, and then we will make money up and down, I expect to die a mere seven-grade county order, and there will not be too much movement, and then we will find another ghost for the dead, and we will not be able to find our head."

"This method is good, he is a scholar, he has no power to tie the chicken, you bring more people, go in and kill him now, along with his followers, no one will be left. After it is resolved, you go to Xia Kuan again and let him clean up the aftermath. Wu Kui said fiercely.

"Uncle Yue, don't worry, I have long wanted to kill this guy who doesn't know what to do, I will mobilize people now, and the good news you are waiting for me is."

Sun Dacheng immediately went to mobilize manpower, the martial arts family has more than one house in the city, and the number of thugs in the courtyard can add up to hundreds. Sun Dacheng picked eight good skills, including Cui Gui and Diao Liang.

Outside the back house wall, these people are good at climbing over the wall and crossing the ridge, and they can easily enter the hospital. Although I don't know which room Yue Su lives in, I also know which is the main room and which is the lower room by looking at the style of the room. Sun Dacheng commanded in the center and let people enter three rooms, which happened to be Yue Su, Jin Chan, and Tie Qiu.

Inserting a knife into the crack of the door and gently pushing the latch against it, the three boys sneaked into the room.

After entering the house, I touched the side of the bed and took a closer look, except for the quilt on the bed, there was no figure.

"There's no one in the house." "There's no one in this house." ……

"Are they prepared?" Sun Dacheng panicked in his heart and said, "Quickly retreat!" ”

At this moment, a person suddenly walked out of the thatched house on the side, and as soon as this person saw Sun Dacheng and others, he immediately exclaimed, "What person!" ”

Sun Dacheng turned his head to look, he was overjoyed, and shouted: "Kill him, he is Yue Su!" ”

When the killers heard this, they rushed over with their knives, and Sun Dacheng was the first to bear the brunt.

Yue Su was so frightened that he hurriedly turned around and ran towards the back office, shouting as he ran: "Someone, there are assassins!" ”

After all, Sun Dacheng was the one who had been the chief catcher, and his skills were really good, and when Yue Su was about to run to the door of the back courtyard, he blocked the door. "Look where you're going!"

However, as soon as his words fell, the courtyard door suddenly opened, and more than 20 officials rushed over, and the person at the head was Tong Xuan.

"Hold the Assassin!" Tong Xuan shouted, and the steel knife in his hand only took Sun Dacheng.

This time, Sun Dacheng had already determined that he had been ambushed, and shouted: "Run!" ”

Several killers turned around and were about to run, but it was too late, and Tie Qiu came out of nowhere, holding a big stick, and hit everyone he wanted, and three killers were knocked to the ground one after another.

Tong Zhou had already entangled Sun Dacheng at this time, catching many people quickly, and surrounded the killers in a moment, fighting more and less was their strength, coupled with the wolf-like iron blade, the eight killers were soon all captured, and only Sun Dacheng was still stubbornly resisting.

Sun Dacheng's means are good, but Tong Xuan's ability is not weaker than him at all, Tie Qi came up to help again, and under the attack of the two, Sun Dacheng was finally knocked to the ground.

All the killers were captured. Yue Su asked someone to bring the four servants in the palace to the back office to take care of it, so as not to leak the news. Immediately in the back of the hall ascended.

Sun Dacheng and the others were pressed to the hall and knelt down. His eyes were about to burst into flames, staring fiercely at Yue Su who was sitting on it, he really didn't expect that his plan was in the hands of others.

"Sun Dacheng! The last time you instigated the resignation of the officer, and tonight you assassinated the officer, do you know what crime you are committing? Yue Su slapped the shocked wood hard.
