Chapter 335: Choose by yourself
Steward He slowly deflected his gaze and looked at the guard who pointed at the person.
The other five guards also looked at this companion.
The guard who pointed to the person was the finger companion, and he was stunned on the spot.
There was a momentary silence in the county office, and then there was a buzz and a discussion began.
"No wonder the county ordered the adults to be merciless."
"Hit as you say."
"It turns out that I have long known that these bastards are the real murderers."
Although the officials have long admired and admired Jiang Long, in the public court, it is true that they can't immediately serve the big board just because the suspect roars a few times. Nine times out of ten, a case that is tried by such means will definitely be an unjust case.
I didn't keep my hands when the officials played the board before, but it wasn't a taste in my heart.
It was only now that a few of the executed officials breathed a sigh of relief, they were beating the real murderer of their colleagues!
The guard who pointed to the man lowered his hand and lowered his head, his face full of remorse.
Steward He and a few others crawled on the ground with dead faces. After a few breaths, my whole body trembled. With Jiang Long's tough methods, it is not difficult to guess what will happen to them after confessing their guilt.
At this time, Steward He put his only hope on his son-in-law.
But until a confession fell in front of him, Qian Dai did not appear. At this point, it is useless to deny and not admit it. Want to change your tune? Just kidding, just a few shouts about wanting to play a scoundrel, I was beaten half to death.
Now that he doesn't admit it, Jiang Long really dares to beat them all to death in the court. Then just take their thumbs and put a bright red handprint on the confession. The five guards who had been glaring at the same time at the same time were now all looking at Steward He with resentful eyes.
Last night, Steward He patted his chest and promised that nothing would happen. also said that even if something happened, it could be easily settled, so they obediently obeyed the orders. But now Steward He himself is difficult to protect, and naturally it is impossible to protect them.
Suddenly, they remembered that they had come to Lingtong County on this trip, the captain of the guards, Piso.
I wonder if Captain Lu Dao will find a way to rescue them?
If they don't come to their rescue, they will ...... Suddenly, they froze. Pisso just took them to Steward Ho and told them to obey Steward Ho's arrangement and left. As for what Steward He is going to do, whether he wants to retaliate, and how to retaliate, I don't know what to do.
And even if you know what the housekeeper wants to take revenge on? I don't know why the housekeeper wants to kill people. Or even if you know the truth in your heart, you won't admit it.
In the eyes of these guards, Pisso was just a rough man, and he was not very respectful, but it was only at this time that he suddenly understood that people looked stupid and careless, but in fact they were more cunning than anyone else, so it was no wonder that people could climb to the position of captain.
None of them resisted anymore, honestly pressed their handprints, and then were dragged out of the court by the officials and pulled directly in the direction of the prison.
After a while, the story of Jiang Long's trial spread, and Qian Dai also knew about it.
"It's a little clever." Qian Dai nodded slightly.
The middle-aged scribe echoed, "The guy from the restaurant, he stood up and said that the two people who saw someone in the guard holding a sack should have been deliberately arranged by the Jing family." ”
"It's just to disrupt the mood of Steward He and the others, they thought it was seamless, but after Jiang Long arranged this arrangement, there was an accident at the most critical point, and as a result, they lost their coolness." Qian Dai smiled softly, "It's just a small trick in the end." ”
The middle-aged scribe was silent, in his eyes, Jiang Long was well arranged, and then in the public court, he first beat Steward He and the guards, letting them know that Jiang Long's methods were tough and not afraid of the Qian family, and then he coldly questioned the guards who had been forced by Jiang Long's momentum.
There is a slight deviation in the middle, and the case cannot be solved smoothly.
On the contrary, if the guard was not fooled, it would be difficult for Jiang Long to retry next.
"You go to the county government to see if the Jing family kid can show mercy." Qian Dai commanded suddenly.
The middle-aged scribe immediately opened his mouth and said, "This ......," but Qian Dai raised his hand to stop him, "You just go ahead and do it." ”
"Yes."
Jiang Long studied with Cheng Ze in the back hall, and heard that the middle-aged scribe asked to see him.
"Let him in."
The middle-aged scribe pushed open the door, bringing in a gust of cold wind, and quickly closed the door with his backhand, arching his hand, "Lord Jing." ”
"You may be seated." Although Jiang Long didn't know the name of the middle-aged scribe in Lu Dao, he also knew that he had been working with Qian Dai and should be regarded as Qian Dai's staff, so he was very polite, stood up and said, "Please take a seat." ”
"Don't dare." The middle-aged scribe bowed his head and bent over, not politely going straight to the point, "I have some friendship with the He family who was arrested today, I wonder if Lord Lu Daojing can be accommodating and show mercy to his subordinates?" ”
"Mercy?"
"Actually, Steward He is still a good person, maybe he is just confused for a while." The middle-aged scribe was busy.
Jiang Long looked at the middle-aged scribe in his eyes, "Is it really just a moment of confusion?" ”
"This, this ......"
"Do you know how those two servants were killed?" Jiang Long asked suddenly.
The middle-aged scribe had only heard about it and didn't really bother to ask.
"I broke the tendons of my hands and feet, and dozens of knife wounds were scratched on my face......" Every time Jiang Long said a word, the blush on the face of the middle-aged scribe deepened a little more.
"Before he died, his eyeballs were gouged out."
The middle-aged scribe was ashamed, "It's abrupt to come down." "Say goodbye.
Watching the figure of the middle-aged scribe walk out of the house, Jiang Long suddenly asked with some puzzlement: "This gentleman's ability is not very good, why would he find such a staff member for what kind of money?" ”
"He's Mr. Qian Dai." Cheng Ze unexpectedly knew the inside story.
Jiang Long was curious, "With the strength of the Qian family, it's not difficult to find a few knowledgeable and capable gentlemen, right?" ”
"This gentleman was chosen by Qian Dai himself." Cheng Ze stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Pick and choose?"
"When Qian Dai was nine years old."
"It's strange, the elders of the Qian family can agree?" No wonder Jiang Long thinks it's incredible, you have to know that Qian Dai is the eldest grandson, and he will inherit the family business in the future, how can the Qian family let him mess around willfully in such a big matter?
"Qian Dai talked with several elders of the Qian family a few times, and then it was settled."
The nine-year-old child talked to the elders of the Qian family, and actually persuaded the other party!
Jiang Long became interested in Qian Dai, but Cheng Ze said, "That's a wolf!" A cold-blooded, ruthless wolf who kills without blinking! ”
"Hmm." Jiang Long remembered the death of the two officials. It is impossible for Qian Dai not to know about it in advance.
"It's best to drive him back to the capital as soon as possible, or ......" Cheng Ze made a head-cutting action with his palm.
In the past, Cheng Ze was always silent and silent, but at this time, Jiang Long knew that Xiao Fan and He were not in trouble, and he would faintly take Cheng Ze as the leader. This person is very thoughtful and decisive, very rational, very wise, and decisive in killing.
Qian Dai, do you mean that you can kill if you kill?
Even Jiang Long didn't think about it like this.
Seeing that Jiang Long just frowned and didn't say anything, Cheng Ze picked up the teacup and took a sip, "It's two officials who died this time, what about next time?" I? Xiao Fan, or why not? Or maybe Qian Dai will directly ...... the target," said this, Cheng Ze glanced at Jiang Long.
Jiang Long was stunned for a moment, and then his brows furrowed even deeper. If Qian Dai wants to kill himself, he is not worried, he is confident in his skills. But if it's Xiao Fan, why not there, and Cheng Ze...... Cheng Ze has basically stayed in the county government and is safer. But Xiao Fan and He are often doing things outside.
And these two people are very capable and can help Jiang Long a lot, and they must not have an accident.
"In addition to being ferocious, wolves are also cunning." Cheng Ze put down the teacup, "It has its own wisdom, its own calculations and ideas, and then take a look at Qian Dai's courage to talk to the elders in the family when he was nine years old, it can be seen that once he makes up his mind, he will not change easily, and will implement it immediately." ”
Yes, he will not acquiesce to Steward He to retaliate the next day.
This is definitely a person who will do it immediately when he has an idea.
Jiang Long's eyes rolled and asked, "Is there a way for Mr. Cheng to drive Qian Dai back to the capital?" ”
"What you can do with the abilities you have now, I won't help you." Cheng Ze got up and left directly.
A wry smile curled up from the corner of Jiang Long's mouth.
The next morning, Jiang Long officially made a verdict, and Steward He and the six guards were all beheaded, and they were executed at noon tomorrow. At the same time, the letter of plea sent by Pang Chengan was also sent to Jiang Long. In front of the messenger, Jiang Long threw the letter directly into the brazier, raising a puff of smoke.
"Help the official bring a message to the huge people, and do less in the future to intercede for the murderer."
The person who sent the letter should have retreated in a hurry.
"Son-in-law, the Jing family kid has been sentenced to a decisive decision." After the middle-aged scribe got the letter, he came to the county yahoutang to find Qian Dai and report.
Qian Dai looked at the book in his hand and didn't take his eyes off it, "It's expected." ”
Seeing that Qian Dai's face was unwavering, the middle-aged scribe wondered, since you asked me to go to the Jing family boy to intercede, I should care about Steward He, why is it that now that the Jing family kid has been sentenced, his emotions can still be calm?
Seeing that Qian Dai didn't say anything, the middle-aged scribe quietly retreated.
Looking at the closed door, Qian Dai raised his eyes, and then continued to look at the book in his hand.
At noon the next day, the originally sunny weather became gloomy again, as if it was about to snow. In the howling of the north wind, Steward He and the six guards fell to the ground, and blood splashed a large area of the high platform. Suddenly, the relatives of Da Liu and Xiao Yang howled loudly.
Originally, Da Liu and Xiao Yang were the pillars of the family, but now that they are dead, the two families will have a hard time.
If this happened in the past, He Dao could let the two families elect a man to take the top, but now Jiang Long is extremely strict with the selection of officials. In the end, He Dao just took the money found from the money housekeeper and the pension issued by the county government to the two families.
The money steward didn't have much silver on him, but the gorgeous robe alone could be sold for a dozen taels. When he was escorted to the high platform for beheading, he was wearing prison clothes, and the others were stripped off and sold by He Dao. Coupled with the pension issued by the county government, he actually made up a full forty taels of silver.
Twenty taels for each family, this silver is enough for two families to live for a long time.
Late at night, where the Qian family stayed.
A black shadow jumped over the courtyard wall with light hands and feet, and came to the door of Qian Dai's room and stopped.
