Chapter 0320 [Corrupt Officials and Spies]
Duan Fei put Li Yuying's case file aside and instructed: "This case is full of suspicions, this official must carefully review her, send her back to the prison, take care of her, and take the next prisoner." ”
The last prisoner in the cell was brought out, this time it didn't surprise Duan Fei, the prisoner was an ordinary man, he had been tortured to the point that he lost his spirit, as soon as he came out, he only wanted to die quickly, and he was willing to confess anything, this person was originally a county magistrate from out of town, and he was arrested and imprisoned because he secretly said bad things about Qian Ning, and Qian Ning fell as soon as he was sent, and this magistrate was not clean when he was an official, so he was kept to raise money.
Judging from the records, this county official has brought 60,000 taels of silver to the edict before and after he was imprisoned, which is really a good way to get money.
Duan Fei carefully read the case file, and then took a serious look at his face, and then without hesitation, he signed the case file and wrote a big beheading, and instructed Wang Zuo: "Tomorrow at noon, the question will be asked, and before the execution, a notice will be posted in several crowded places to clearly indicate his crime, and people will be called to watch the fate of the corrupt official!" ”
When the man heard that he was going to die, he even had a relieved smile on his face, which showed that it was better to live than die in the edict.
The prisoners in the cell were of a lower status, and the crimes they committed were not capital crimes, but they were even more terrible than death in the edict prison, two of the seven prisoners were sent in because of personal vendettas, three were because they criticized the government in the teahouse, and the remaining two were arrested for the crime of meticulous work.
Duan Fei carefully checked the files of the two 'fine works', they were suspected of being spies, because they were more active in the border area of Northeast Sanwei, the kind of people who didn't do business but ran around, after being arrested, they admitted that they were people from Duoyan Sanwei, and wanted to come to Daming to do some business, but they never found the opportunity.
Duan Fei knew the relationship between Daming and Duoyan Sanwei, and he even suspected that it was these capricious guys who later developed into the Manchus who destroyed Daming, which was of course his ignorance of history, but this did not affect his vigilance against the northern peoples.
China's troubles have come from the north since ancient times, and it was not until hot weapons replaced cold weapons that the country was opened from the south and the east, and now Duan Fei is worried about both the Japanese and the Western fleet in the south, and the threat from the north.
After the two were dragged out, they lay on the ground and only had one breath left, which made Duan Fei very disappointed, these two people had endured a lot of torture, and they still gritted their teeth and only said that they were businessmen, which only strengthened the suspicion of the people who tortured them, could ordinary people bear such pain? Collapse into a soft egg who has a confession if you want it!
Jin Yiwei set up these two people who were as soft as noodles, Duan Fei walked around them, and found that these two people looked like father and son in grade, but their faces were not like each other at all, according to the old man, his son was picked up and raised, which is reasonable.
Not only were these two people crippled, but all the teeth in their mouths were knocked out, it should be to prevent them from biting their tongues and committing suicide, Duan Fei returned to them and said, "I know you don't want to live anymore, so let's do it, as long as you say that you are a spy, I will let you get your wish, and how about you go out and behead the public tomorrow?" ”
"Your Excellency...... We're really not spies......" The old man spoke, but his voice was very muffled, Duan Fei found that his tongue seemed to be shortened, and as he spoke, the old man's tears fell.
"Dare to be hard-mouthed!" The brocade-clothed jailer whipped the old man on the back, and the old man screamed, Duan Fei looked at him and said, "Your name is Saihan?" Where did it come from? Who's in the house? ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, and replied: "My lord, I am Saihan, I am from Fuyuwei, and I have a wife and a young son at home. ”
Duan Fei smiled slightly and said, "Let you go back?" Can you still go back? Do you want me to send brocade guards to escort you home? I advise you to be realistic, even if we don't tie you up, you won't be able to climb out of this prison. ”
A hint of gloom flashed in Saihan's eyes, the Zheng Zheng man from the prairie was now in limb, and this kind of pain was unbearable for anyone, but he endured it silently, which strengthened Duan Fei's suspicions.
Duan Fei stared at him for a long time, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, Duan Fei ordered: "Send them back to the cell, take good care of them, take a bath and change into a set of clean clothes, eat and drink well, and take care of them, and the official will come back tomorrow to treat them well, hehe......"
In addition to these two people, Duan Fei decided to release all the five people tomorrow morning, and asked Wang Zuo to prepare announcements to be posted everywhere, the emperor was gracious, and ordered the new commander of Jinyiwei to make Duan Fei clear the unjust case of the edict and prison, only one day, there are many people who have been wronged, how can such good news be covered and not told to the people?
Duan Fei didn't take a closer look at the old case where those people were dead, and today ended here, he took Li Yuying's case file back to the house that was now renamed Duan Mansion, Su Rong and Guan Xiaohan were already asleep, Xiaohuan hung his head and stood in front of Duan Fei's room, and there was a fragrance of jasmine in the air.
Duan Fei's feet were heavier, Xiaohuan suddenly woke up, Duan Fei was a little surprised, this little girl's skills are not shallow, not to mention Shi Bin, they are far inferior, even Huaming They may not be much stronger, the maid is still like this, isn't the young lady even more unfathomable?
Xiaohuan opened his sleepy eyes, stood up and saluted Duan Fei: "Why did Childe come back, Miss asked me to boil a bucket of hot water for Childe, does Childe want me to take a bath?" ”
Duan Fei said with a smile: "Look at you are tired, let's go back and rest early, this official has been suffering from snacks, and you don't need to serve these things, let's go." ”
Xiaohuan sighed and said, "Then the son will wash it himself, I'll wait outside, if the hot water is not enough, the son can call me." ”
Duan Fei squinted at her, when did this unruly and unruly girl become so well-behaved?
Xiaohuan's face was slightly red when she showed him, she puffed up her chest and said, "What do you see, if it weren't for Miss's repeated advice, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to you!" ”
Duan Fei stretched out his hand and scraped the bridge of her nose, and said with a smile: "This is Xiaohuan......"
Xiaohuan really waited for him to finish taking a bath before packing up his things and going back to rest, Duan Fei lay on the head of the bed and studied the case again, then turned off the lights and rested, and the next morning he woke up on time, practiced the exercises, moved his hands and feet, and then Su Rong and Guan Xiaohan walked in together with a smile and a towel.
