Chapter 132: Coerced Confession (I)
Feng Xiaoxian said: "This is all that slut is shameless, my father-in-law is kind after all, how can I blame him!" ”
Yan Hongha sneered: "Brother Feng, you are really a scholar, your brain does not turn. His Yin family has a strict family education, and the matter of the third daughter and Zheng Guoqi, you really don't know anything about being the old man Yin? This kind of talk may be used to deceive a nerd like you, but it can't deceive my little Hades. But he still wants to marry this daughter to you, and gives you a green turban. I have news here, he married his daughter to you in November last year, and in October last year, it was Zheng Guoqi and Miss Meng Jia's marriage. There's not necessarily a lot of way here. ”
Feng Xiao was speechless when Yan Hong said this. Yan Hong said again:
"As for the four words of grace as a mountain, I think it will also be discounted. Your wife may have barely been able to count before she died, but it's hard to say after that. Think about it, your old father-in-law, as a Shuntian Mansion Cheng, is known as a capable member, although he ignores the criminal lawsuit of the Jingshi, but he deals with the case at hand, which is also called getting started. Can't he see that you have been wronged? Why was it that as soon as you entered the prison of the Soldiers and Horses, you were severely tortured and forced to confess to the crime of killing your wife, but your father-in-law refused to even come to you and ask you? I'm afraid that he is still thinking about how to kill you in prison, so as not to damage the face of his Yin family and his friend Zheng family! It's just that you have met a good sacrificial wine, and you are willing to ask for Lu Dadu to go to the Governor's Gate, otherwise, your little life would have been over a long time ago! Do you still refuse to write this confession for the sake of this father-in-law, so that the murderer can go unpunished? ”
Yan Hong's words sounded like Huang Zhongda Lu ringing in Feng Xiaoxian's ears. He was imprisoned for many days, and looking back on the past, he had no doubts about his old father-in-law, but he refused to believe that his father-in-law, who was so kind to him, would really poison him.
But as soon as Yan Hong said it today, Feng Xiaoxian could no longer maintain the tall image of his father-in-law in his heart. He pondered for a long time, finally lowered his head, and said after a while: "Bring a pen and paper, I'll write." ”
Yan Hong opened the door and called Hao Sijiao to get a pen and paper. Although Feng Xiaoxian had an injury on his hand, after this period of recuperation, he was basically fine. He is also the foundation of Xiucai, and he is a rare hard-working student in the Guozi Prison, if not, how can he get Gao Gong's blue eyes, really when this old man is idle and panicked, will he casually intercede for a cat and a dog?
At that moment, I saw Feng Sheng's pen walking the dragon and snake, like planting willows and flowers, a thousand words, and the work of less than a meal was completed. The font is fair, the pen is strong, and even four or six sentences, and the battle score is exactly the same. This is not so much a self-confession as an article to test merit. Yan Hong, who looked at the side, was surprised and a little jealous.
Seeing that Feng Xiaoxian finished writing, Yan Hong suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, on the night of the crime, you were arrested and tortured by the Soldiers and Horses, is there anything else unusual?" Tell me all about it. “
Feng Xiao stopped his pen first, pondered for a moment, and said, "When those cool officials tortured me, they asked me to kill my wife, and second, they asked me to hand over what I stole from. I asked them, "What did I steal from my own home?" But they couldn't say it, but they became angry and intensified their torture. And I have been searched many times by them, even the soles of my clothes and socks have been groped one by one, and it seems that I am looking for something valuable. ”
Yan Hong said: "You also wrote this, but I don't know what other valuable things you can do on you, a poor scholar." ”
After it was written, Feng Jiansheng signed and drew again. After Yan Hong took it, Feng Xiao first arched his hand and said, "Everything depends on Yan Dagongzi." If he can get revenge, Feng is willing to pray to God day and night to bless the prince of Yan, Gaohou Wandai. ”
Yan Hong said: "It's easy to say", and said to Feng Xiaoxian: "Although the facts of the case are known, it will take time to punish the real culprit." After I left, Brother Feng was still silent, but he waited for my news. After that, he put the confession in his arms, went out and called the four chief flags, said goodbye to Hao Si Prison, and left the edict prison.
Back at the official office, Wang Ting asked, "The chief went to the prison and talked with that Feng prisoner for a long time, but what did he say?" ”
Although Yan Hong roughly believed what Feng Xiaoxian said in his heart, this was a case after all. Daddy Yan Shifan has long been taught, and he can't draw conclusions based on one-sided words. In the end, what the truth of the matter is, it really needs to be investigated by many parties. Until then, there's no need to say too much to others.
Therefore, he just smiled slightly: "This time it is a little more rewarding." Four brothers, and go with me to order troops. He took out the token given by Lu Bing and raised it in his hand.
The four general banners don't know what the hell this little Hades has in mind, anyway, if you have a life on the peak, then follow him.
The four of them went to the barracks directly under the Yamen of the Jinyi Guard, and ordered twenty captains, all of whom were fierce and capable and composed. Yan Hong led them, but went straight to Yin Fucheng's house. In a short time, I arrived at the door. Yan Hong showed his token: "On the orders of the Governor of Lu, come here to inquire about Miss Yin's murder!" Then he ordered all the lieutenants, leaving two guards at the front and rear doors, and the rest rushed in, bringing all the old and young people to the courtyard, and not letting one go.
This old wife of Yin Fucheng died of illness a few years ago, and has not yet been renewed, the old man went to the Yamen, and there is only a seventeen-year-old only son and a group of housekeepers and servants at home, where have you seen such a battle? They all obediently went to the courtyard and stood on the ground, waiting for orders.
Yan Hong sat down in the middle, looked big, tried his best to show off his majestic style, first found a few random people, asked Miss Yin about the situation before she got married, and asked about the words of the suspect Feng Gongzi. Everyone said the same thing. said that the young lady was indeed a little short-tempered, and the uncle seemed to be honest, who knew that he would do such a thing.
Yan Hong shook his head, listened for a while, and suddenly asked: "I heard that the third lady originally had a dowry maid, but she was later driven back to match the little maid, but where is it?" ”
The housekeeper's mother-in-law trembled, pointing to a pair of men and women: "No, it's the bamboo green, with the white big of the family's room." ”
Yan Hong raised his eyes and saw that this bamboo young man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a small figure, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his appearance was above that of a Chinese person. That Bai Danian is about twenty-five or sixteen, slightly taller, with a wooden face, and he doesn't look like a shrewd person.
Yan Hong sneered obscenely, and suddenly asked, "Zhuqing, I haven't seen the third lady of your family." You say, you or Miss Three, which one is beautiful? ”
Zhu Qing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "How dare the slave dare to compare with the third lady?" ”
Yan Hong sneered again: "Can't compare? I'm afraid not. Suddenly turned his face blank: "This Feng Jiansheng killed his wife, I think you are an accomplice of the suspect!" Come on, bring me both! The four lieutenants agreed in unison, pounced on them, and locked them up despite the pleading voices of Zhuqing and Bai Dalian.
Yin Gongzi Su Ri also heard of the name of this little Yama King, and heard the other party ask if the drift was not beautiful, etc., so he only thought that the other party was cowardly, and came to the house to forcibly kidnap people. At the moment, he arched his hand and said: "Yan Xiaoxianggong, what are you doing?" If you want to take someone, you should also wait for Jiayan to come back, and after two discussions, then reason. But I don't know what crime Zhuqing and his wife have committed, and they actually alarmed Jinyi Tiqi? ”
Yan Hong didn't bother to pay attention to him, but said with a big sting: "If you want to sue, just sue, how can there be so many reasons for Jinyi to take people!" As for what crime they committed, they naturally said that they would go back to prison. ”
Afterwards, Yan Hong said viciously to the rest of the people: "This official tried this case, no matter how tight the prisoner's mouth is and how hard his bones are, he must make a confession and fight it all!" If you have clues to the road, come out quickly to expose it, and the official will be rewarded! "Anyway, he pretended to be 13 and posed, and turned around and went out with the brocade guard.
Without saying anything all the way, and not returning to the general yamen, Yan Hong directly took the captains and took Zhuqing and his wife to the edict prison. Hao Sijiao saw that Yan Qianhu was here again, and he also brought two prisoners, so he hurried over. Just as he was about to open his mouth to report Feng Sheng's situation, Yan Hongxian said fiercely: "Hao Sijiao, don't say anything else." You borrowed me two torture chambers! ”
Is there still no torture room in the prison? immediately vacated two rooms, and also sent two torture experts, and ordered to listen to Yan Qianhu's dispatch. When Hao Sijiao saw Zhuqing's appearance, he muttered in Yan Hong's ear: "Don't worry, the eldest prince, the people here are all my henchmen, even if you make any noise, no one will hear it, not to mention how the people who have entered the edict prison are treated, and there is no place to cry out for injustice." ”
Yan Hong also ignored him, and only ordered ten brocade guards to guard outside, and no idle people were allowed to come in and disturb him. Then ordered the four brocade guards to take Zhuqing to the side of the torture room to watch, and without an order, not a single hair of her should be touched. Then he ordered Bai Da to strip naked and hang up.
Although Bai Da has also seen some of the world, where has he ever tasted the taste of edict? Looking at those torture instruments, he was so frightened that he urinated, and he said: "I recruit, I recruit!" Master, I'll do it all! I did it! ”
Yan Hong almost squirted out a mouthful of water, and hurriedly turned his face: "What are you doing?" ”
Bai Dadao: "What the master says I do, I will do!" I just beg the lord not to beat me! ”
Yan Hong secretly sighed in his heart, this person's heart is like iron, and the official law is like a furnace, it really is not covered, under torture, what confession can't come out? In this way, it really seems that Feng Sheng, although he is a bag, he is still a little hard.
He immediately said to Bai Dao sharply: "What a dog, this official wants to try the real murderer, what do you know, just recruit from the truth, which one wants you to arrange a confession?" Tell you, if you confess indiscriminately and are found to be untrue by this official after the fact, this official was going to punish you again, and he will add it again! ”
Bai Da was so panicked that he begged for mercy: "The small one is wrong, the small one is wrong." Big man, please ask, the small ones must be recruited from the truth. ”
Yan Hong saw that he was afraid of this, so he asked him about the situation in the house, and the good and evil of his uncle Feng Sheng. This is not unusual. It is nothing more than what Yan Hong relayed from the general banners before, which is not far away.
I asked over and over again for half an hour, but it was all trivial. Yan Hong was also a little tired. Seeing that the chief's face was cloudy, the big white eyes were even more panicked, and suddenly said with a sneer: "The eldest lord, the villain's wife, used to be the personal maid of the third young lady. The eldest lord might as well call her for interrogation. She will definitely satisfy the eldest master, and just ask the eldest master to let us go home as soon as possible. ”
When Yan Hong heard this, he stood up angrily. What the fuck is this man? Before he was beaten, he sold his wife first! He pointed at Bai Da and shouted, "Come on, give me five back flowers first!" ”
A thug stayed for a long time, and his hands itched tightly in the morning, so he went to the corner of the wall to get a whip. Yan Hong waited for him to approach and commanded softly: "Hit the pain point, but don't really hurt it." ”
The torturers of the edict are naturally familiar with this technique. As soon as the whip went down, the white scream howled like a pig, tearing through the thick walls of the prison.
Then Yan Hong ordered: "Pull it down, lock it up first, don't let his husband and wife meet to confess!" Bring that maid to me again! The two brocade guards took Bai Da, who was crying and begging for mercy, down.
