Chapter 17: Eyebrows
Tie Qi Kong is powerful, and there are messengers to help on the side, where can the young man escape, although he even yells and screams, he is still caught like a chicken in the yamen.
Yue Su did not interrogate immediately, but first called Zhang Wei and Wang Shun for questioning.
"Zhang Wei and Wang Shun, according to reports, the two of you followed the two women from the Chen Mansion to Puci Temple today?"
"Lord Hui, this is indeed the case." Zhang Wei replied.
"What did these two women do at Puci Temple?"
"In addition to burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, I also went to unravel the sign and ask for divination." Zhang Wei said.
"Unsigned?" Yue Su remembered that Zhu'er said that Mu Tianjiao also went to unsign today, and said that she drew a lottery. So he asked, "When these two women unsigned, were there any other people next to them?" ”
"This ......" Zhang Wei thought for a while and said: "It seems that there is, I remember that there was a group of people in front of them at that time, led by a woman, and she was accompanied by a maid and four servants. Looking at the posture, it doesn't seem to be waiting for idlers. ”
"That's right!" Yue Su suddenly stood up from his chair and said, "Do you two remember the appearance of the leading woman and the maid?" ”
"We didn't dare to get too close, but we remembered that the woman seemed to be wearing a dark dress, and the maid seemed to be wearing a green dress...... Wang Shun, in your impression, are they like this? Zhang Wei said, looking at Wang Shun beside him.
Wang Shun thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It seems to be this color." ”
Yue Su clearly remembered that when he went to the county lord's mansion today, Mu Tianjiao was wearing a dark dress, and Zhu'er was wearing a green dress, how could there be such a coincidence in the world, it must be right. He immediately said, "Follow me into the back hall to interrogate that guy." ”
"Yes, sir." Zhang Wei and Wang complied. This Zhang Wei is very clever, and he heard that the young man who had just been arrested was very important, and added, "My lord, I just got caught here, the little one saw it this morning, he hurriedly ran into Chen's mansion from outside, and soon the two mothers-in-law came out, but he didn't come out at that time, and when the mother-in-law returned to the house, he went out when he was about to go, went to the tavern and drank two glasses, and then rushed to the county lord's mansion, just saw the subordinates on the county lord's mansion running out, he inquired a few words with the passers-by, and chased to the mansion. ”
"Well, it seems that this guy is specially out of the Chen Mansion to find out the news." Yue Su groaned softly, walked into the back hall, ascended to the hall and sat down, and asked someone to bring the young man to the hall.
Tie Qiu kicked the young man to the ground, and when the young man saw Yue Su, he knew that it was the prefect, and hurriedly shouted: "The little people are wronged, please ask the lord to call the shots." ”
Yue Su smiled slightly and said, "Who is your surname, and what is the wrong?" ”
"The villain's name is Zhao Jiu, just looking at the excitement outside, he was arrested into the government for no reason, and I hope that the eldest master will be merciful and let the people go." When the young man said this, he could still cry.
"It turns out that you came to see the excitement, but now it's the time of the year, why don't you sleep at home and run out to see the excitement for no reason?" Yue Su asked majestically.
"The villain is just curious, seeing that there are a lot of people gathered outside the prefect's yamen, thinking that there is a case to try, so he came over to take a look."
"Where do you live, is the prefect's yamen close to your house?"
"Villain...... The villain's family lives in Lion Alley, and after dinner in the evening, they come out for a walk. Inadvertently transferred to the prefect's yamen. ”
Lion Hutong is in the north street of the prefect's yamen, Yue Su is in charge of Tongren, and the map of the city has been seen. Hearing this answer, Yue Su sneered and said, "The people of this mansion saw with their own eyes that you came out of the Chen family on Guangyang Street, first to the county lord's mansion, and later here in this mansion, you are really not small, and you dare to deceive this mansion in the public court. Come on, slap mouth twenty! ”
As soon as the words fell, an errand officer stepped forward, took out the torture card, and shot Zhao Jiu's mouth with a very smoking. Zhao Jiu, who was beaten, was stunned now, he didn't expect that his whereabouts were well known in the yamen, how should this be?
Before he could come up with a countermeasure, the twenty mouths had already been beaten, and he was covered with blood and his lips were tattered.
Yue Su asked again: "This mansion asks you, you first go to the county lord's mansion to look, and then come here to inquire, what do you want?" What do you want to hear? I advise you to come quickly from the truth, or you will suffer your flesh and skin!" ”
"Villain......" Zhao Jiu really didn't know how to answer for a while, and he couldn't say a word. The first lie was exposed, and he even suspected that his whereabouts had been completely mastered, and if he made a mistake again, he would not be given a heavy sentence waiting for him.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yue Su shouted angrily and said: "Bold Zhao Jiu, this mansion has also seen it, if you don't have to be punished, it will be difficult for you to tell the truth, prepare the fire chain!" ”
"Yes!"
Recently, this lord has been using the fire chain so frequently that the servants didn't even put the fire chain in storage, and put it in the corner outside the back hall. Go out and light the charcoal stove and start the barbecue.
Yue Su sat in the hall and didn't ask any more questions, just stared at Zhao Jiu. Zhao Jiu's heart was furious, and the surname Suo lowered his head. Yue Su suddenly remembered something and said, "Tong Xuan, I just explained your matter, and I will hand it over to Jin Cicada for the time being, and I will have a heavy task assigned to you later." Jin Chan, you take someone to Yin Zhu now, and tell him to strengthen the monitoring of the Chen Mansion, and anyone who enters and exits will be arrested on the spot, and no one is allowed to leave. ”
"My subordinates understand." Jin Chan received the order and led people to leave the mansion and go to the Chen Mansion for reinforcements.
Zhao Jiu below was even more dumbfounded when he heard Yue Su arrange this, and his heart was up and down. I think that even if I don't say it, people will have to do it, so why should I feel uncomfortable and suffer more.
"Adult, small wish."
"Count your acquaintances, say it quickly." Yue Su shouted.
"The little one is a Cantonese person, who was originally a pawn under General Chen's account, and because he was clever in doing things, he was accepted by General Chen as a personal soldier, and then General Chen dismissed the official and returned to his hometown, and the villain followed him to Tongren. General Chen sent me to the county lord's mansion, in fact, ...... Find out if the county lord is dead......"
"Smack!" Yue Su knocked the startled wood and said loudly: "What a boldness! This government asks you again, how do you know that the county lord has Gu poison in his body, did Chen Weihan send someone to do Gu? ”
"This villain really doesn't know, the villain is just responsible for running errands and inquiring about news. A few days ago, General Chen asked me to go to the county lord's mansion to stare at it, to see when the county lord went out, where he would go, the villain learned this morning that the county lord went to Puci Temple to make incense, so he immediately went back to the house to report, the general praised me twice, let me go down to rest, and in the evening, I asked me to inquire whether the county lord was dead. Zhao Jiu told the truth.
"Then can you see two suspicious-looking women in the house?"
"This one doesn't." Zhao Jiu hurriedly shook his head.
"When Junma and the former prefect died, did they also send someone to inquire about the news?"
"Yes." If you recruit one, it's the same for the others, it's better to be honest, or you can be lenient.
"Have you been to Ge Yong's mansion?"
"That's not true, I haven't heard that the general has anything to do with the general judge."
"Do you know that Chen Weihan sent people to rob and kill Fang Zhai Tusi Fang Qi?"
"I haven't heard of this villain either." Zhao Jiu shook his head again.
"And what else do you know?"
"That's all the villain knows, many things, not to mention me, even a few sons in the house don't know. If you want to say that you can know more, it is the housekeeper Chen Ran and the general himself. ”
"Escort him down first and keep him under strict guard." For Yue Su, knowing these things is enough, and it is enough to torture Chen Weihan for other things. Under the heavy punishment, I am afraid that you will not be recruited. Yue Su immediately ordered, "Tong Xuan, you now take my token to the garrison yamen, and order the garrison Niu Qian to immediately send troops to capture Chen Weihan Manmen, and not let one go." In addition, the house was sealed and people were sent to surround it to prevent fish from slipping through the net. Then I brought a group of officials and kept a close eye on them to prevent the soldiers guarding the yamen from being unclean. ”
"Subordinates obey!"
Tong Zhou received the token, took the official servant, and quickly went to the garrison yamen. In the city, the prefect is the largest, and the soldiers and horses guarding the yamen are controlled. Yue Su is also careful, there are actually a lot of errands in the government, there can be two or three hundred, plus the errand of the Qing Army Department, how to say that there are five hundred people. However, it was dark, and the servants had already been on duty, and they couldn't assemble now, what if Chen Weihan saw that Zhao Jiu had not returned for a long time, worried that something was wrong, and absconded in fear of crime. After all, this guy has been a guerrilla general, and it is inevitable that there will be private forces at home, and with the current manpower, he may not be able to intercept him.
Tong Xuan rushed to the garrison yamen with a license, Niu Qian did not dare to slack off when he took the card, and he also knew that it was a big case, and he was afraid of being delayed, so he immediately gathered 500 soldiers and went to Chen's house to get people.
The side gate of Chen's mansion was blocked by fifty soldiers, and the main force attacked from the main gate, and arrested people when they saw them. The Chen family thought that there was a thief, but when they heard that it was the guards of the yamen who came to arrest people, they were all stunned, and they really didn't understand what was going on. However, they don't need to understand that with so many officers and soldiers, who dares to stop them, honestly squatting down and waiting to be captured. Many of these officers and soldiers are soldiers, and they like this kind of robbery and stealing people the most, don't look at the errand soldiers, or get a lot of bits and pieces from it. In fact, those errand soldiers are not vegetarians, and if they get the opportunity, of course, they can also get an errand fee. However, no one dares to touch large objects.
The Chen family, men, women, and children, as well as more than 150 maids and servants, were all captured, and some tried to slip through the back door, but they were also taken down by the soldiers who blocked there. In less than half an hour, all the people in the mansion were captured. Tong Zhou was worried that he would be caught, so he took the minifigure and searched back and forth carefully, so he was relieved. Let Yin Zhu and Jin Chan take the messengers and cooperate with two hundred men and horses guarding the yamen to surround the Chen Mansion in case there is any loss. He and Niu Qian led the soldiers to escort the people of the Chen Mansion back to the Yamen.
Along the way, the daughters of the Chen family inevitably cried and cried, and the neighbors were all awakened, and they didn't know what was going on, but seeing so many officers and soldiers taking people, who dared to say more.
Back at the mansion, Yue Su was already sitting in the main hall, and the inside and outside of the hall were brightly lit, as if it were daytime. At the bottom of the stairs there are burned fire chains, this time no longer one, but three, each fire chain is only ten centimeters apart, it seems that this time it is real. On one side of the fire chain, there is also an oil pot, and the stove is lit below, and the oil in the pot is already boiling, and the oil splashes are splashing.
