Chapter 54 [Another Hidden Secret] (I)
On both sides, the yamen cooperated with the startling wood and shouted at the same time: "Mighty! ”
The two family members of Wanfu originally came to the county government to follow the second son to complain, who would have thought that they would encounter such a scene, first hit the board, and were frightened by Hu Xiaotian's official authority, at this time they were already in a state of disarray, the two knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord...... Wronged......"
Hu Xiaotian pointed to one of the family members and said: "You give me the original truth, tell me the story of the current second son, if you dare to tell half a lie, I will definitely make it impossible for you to get out of here alive." ”
Naked/naked intimidation, but intimidation can be effective most of the time.
The family member was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again: "My lord Mingjian, I ...... Zhao Liang and I were on duty the night before, and we patrolled to a black-clothed masked man on the ground near the East Wing during the second watch...... We thought it was a snitch, but when we lifted the veil, we turned out to be ...... It turned out to be the second son. ”
In addition, the family named Zhao Liang said: "My lord, what Guo Biao said is true, we have the second son and hurry up to report to the eldest son, and then we are busy asking the second son to ask Lang Zhong ......."
Hu Xiaotian knows the situation that night best, Wan Tingsheng was knocked unconscious by him with a blow to the head, and he was also dragged to the vicinity of the East Chamber and thrown there, as for the rest of the matter, he didn't know, and sneered at the moment: "It seems that you don't want to tell the truth if you don't torture you, when you are the second son, you thought he was a snitch, and just said that the second son fell on the head after drinking, which sentence is true and which sentence is false?" ”
The two family members were speechless.
Hu Xiaotian grabbed the red sticks in front of him, there are at least ten of them in this handful, and there will be a hundred boards facing up, the two family members are so frightened that their faces are white, the five boards just now have beaten them to death, if there are another hundred boards, even if the two of them share it, I am afraid that both lives will be hung up at the same time, and they must die in this court.
The officials and officials, including the chief bookkeeper Guo Shouguang, all heard that the county lord had guided the case elsewhere. But because of their identity, no one dared to stop them. But he heard Hu Xiaotian say angrily: "I still don't tell you honestly, who caused the injury on Wan Tingsheng's head?" ”
The two family members were so frightened that Hu Xiaotian had already pulled out all the red sticks.
Zhao Liang was timid, seeing that Hu Xiaotian was about to throw out the red stick, he was so frightened that he burst into tears and said, "My lord, this matter has nothing to do with me......"
Guo Biao was stunned when he heard this. The spicy one next door has nothing to do with you, could it be that I did it? Guo Biao wailed: "My lord...... This has nothing to do with me......"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Human life is at stake, I already have conclusive evidence in my hands, the injury on the top of Wan Tingsheng's head is clearly caused by someone hitting him with a stick, you don't tell the truth anymore." I will put you all in prison and convict you of an accomplice in murdering the master, and I will wait until the autumn to behead you together!" ”
Zhao Liang had been frightened by Hu Xiaotian at this time, and his inner defense line completely collapsed, and he said in a trembling voice: "My lord...... That's what the eldest prince asked us to do......" This remark was full of surprise. No one thought that the exhibition of the case was full of twists and turns, Wan Tingchang originally came to sue Liu Kuohai, but the court trial asked about the new situation here, and the matter was unfavorable to Wan Tingchang.
Hu Xiaotian asked the two family members to sign and draw on the confession on the spot. After getting these two confessions, Hu Xiaotian asked Liu Kuohai to be escorted down first, and then knocked on the shocking wood hard, and said loudly: "Bring Wan Tingchang in for me!" ”
Although Hu Xiaotian's voice was loud, it unfortunately didn't have any effect, and the officials didn't buy him as the new county magistrate, so they just didn't hear it one by one, and stood there indifferent. In the end, it was Murong Feiyan who went out to get people. Now Wan Tingchang has already fled. In fact, as early as when Wan Tingchang recognized Hu Xiaotian, he felt that the shape was not good, and after staying outside for a while, a familiar official revealed the situation inside to him, Wan Tingchang was shocked when he heard it, and he didn't think much about it, so he turned around and fled from the county office.
Hu Xiaotian heard that Wan Tingchang had fled, and he was not in a hurry to take someone. In fact, he also saw it. The third-class officials did not listen to their orders at all, and even if they reluctantly passed the order, they would inevitably be disgraced.
A group of officials all looked at him quietly, thinking that Hu Xiaotian would continue to toss. Unexpectedly, Hu Xiaotian actually waved his hand and said, "Retreat!" ”
Everyone breathed a deep sigh of relief, Guo Shouguang mentioned the matter of picking up the wind and washing the dust for Hu Xiaotian, but Hu Xiaotian waved his hand and said: "No, I still have important things to do, I'll talk about it another day at this time." ”
When Hu Xiaotian was sitting in the hall, Guo Shouguang had already asked Hu Xiaotian to temporarily arrange a room to rest, Hu Xiaotian came to this temporary office to take off the official mansion and change into ordinary clothes, Liang Dazhuang poured a cup of tea and sent it over, and said happily: "Young master, you are really majestic in the public court today, killing all sides." ”
Hu Xiaotian took the teacup, took a sip and said with a smile: "Don't call me young master in the future." ”
Liang Dazhuang took a deep look and said, "Yes, Master Hu!" ”
Both the master and servant laughed at the same time.
Hu Xiaotian slowly put the teacup on the table: "Da Zhuang, now that I have come to Qingyun safely, you can go back to the capital for two days." ”
In the past, Liang Dazhuang must have been overjoyed when he heard the news, but now he feels that it is better to stay here and feel comfortable going back, today he has seen Hu Xiaotian's majesty in the court, if he always follows his side, he will not worry about the day when he will not soar in the future, with such an idea, Liang Dazhuang pounced and knelt down in front of Hu Xiaotian: "Young master, I will not go, since the day the master sent me to serve the young master, I have set a grand ambition, and I will follow the young master before and after the saddle for the rest of my life." ”
Hu Xiaotian smiled secretly, when did being a slave become a grand ambition, he nodded and said: "If you don't leave, stay and arrange an errand for you in two days, get up." ”
Liang Dazhuang stood up with a happy face.
Murong Feiyan walked in with the two testimonies of the Wanfu family just now, and handed them to Hu Xiaotian, Liang Dazhuang knew that the two of them had something to discuss, so he hurriedly retreated.
Hu Xiaotian looked at Murong Feiyan and said with a smile: "How many points can I score on my watch today?" ”
Murong Fei said: "At the beginning of my tenure, I didn't know how to be a low-key person, I was sharp and aggressive, if it weren't for me and Liang Dazhuang supporting you behind your back, no one in this Qingyun County Ya would be willing to stand in the same camp as you." ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "If you love to stand or not, sooner or later I will sweep all these disobedient guys out of the house." ”
Of course, Murong Feiyan knew that he was not talking big, and sat down on the Taishi chair next to Hu Xiaotian: "What are you going to do?" ”
Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "The confessions of the two family members can be refuted at any time, and it is difficult to convict Wan Tingchang, but with these two testimonies, Wan Boping's old fox will willingly come up with a sum of money to settle this matter." ”
Murong Feiyan looked at Hu Xiaotian with some surprise: "Hu Xiaotian, you don't want to do justice, your mind is full of how to accumulate money, are you worthy of the trust of the imperial court?" Is it the right to take the emperor's favor? ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Please, don't go online with me at every turn, what does my official have to do with the emperor?" I haven't seen him again, it's my dad who arranged it for me, and I'm worthy of him. Didn't you say I'm sharp and aggressive? That's when I decided to be obscure. We just came, and we wanted to get rid of Wan Boping, it's not that easy, not to mention that I still have a lot of integrity on my head. ”
Murong Fei said: "You want to use these two testimonies to blackmail Wan Boping? ”
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Don't say it so ugly, what is blackmail?" I just want to make the best use of people's talents and make the best use of things, new to Qingyun, unfamiliar with life, few friends are absolutely impossible, don't you say? ”
Murong Fei said: "You are so treacherous! In the future, he is destined to be a traitor. ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "In these years, corrupt officials are everywhere, all treacherous and insidious, I want to be a good official, be a clean official, I can't be honest, I must be more treacherous than them, worse than them, in order to defeat them." ”
It was the first time Murong Feiyan had heard this logic, and a pair of beautiful eyes habitually widened: "How can a traitor be a Qing official?" ”
How can a traitor not be a clean official? Lao Tzu doesn't take a stitch from the common people, I have to be a local tyrant and a bad gentry, and I am a corrupt official, so what does it matter if such an official is a traitor?
Although Hu Xiaotian refused the request of his subordinates to pick up the wind and wash the dust for him, but the chief bookkeeper Guo Shouguang did not dare to slack off, and specially asked someone to bring lunch, there is a cook in the county office, who is responsible for the diet and daily life of the county order Xu Qinglian's family on weekdays, his cooking skills can only be said to be second-rate, but it is already rare in a small county like Qingyun.
Hu Xiaotian filled his stomach and inspected the prison room accompanied by Murong Feiyan.
The layout of the prison cells in Qingyun County was originally not large, and it was divided into two sections, men and women, but there were no prisoners in the women's prison, and Hu Xiaotian personally sent four prisoners into the prison room in the morning of this morning, and there was no room in the men's prison, so these four people were temporarily locked up in the women's prison. Hu Xiaotian went to the men's prison, he sat in the torture room, and asked the jailer to bring Zhou Batian over.
Zhou Batian walked into the torture room with shackles, the lights in the torture room were bright, and the two officials wanted to lock Zhou Batian on the pillar, Hu Xiaotian waved his hand and said, "No! You go out first. ”
Zhou Batian heard the official's voice, raised his eyes, and immediately recognized that the official in front of him who interrogated him was the cellmate who was imprisoned in the same cell that day. Hu Xiaotian asked the two jailers to go out, holding Zhou Batian's file in his hand and said: "You were imprisoned for fighting in the street, and you have been in prison for three months so far, and the sentence was originally one month, but before the sentence is over, you will have an incident, either beating people or making trouble, so the sentence will be continuously extended." ”
Zhou Batian stood there and looked at Hu Xiaotian vigilantly.
Hu Xiaotian said: "If you continue like this, you are ready to spend your whole life in prison, and you want to sit through the prison!" ”
Zhou Batian said: "The adult is young, but he plays very well, but I don't know what I want from Zhou?" ”
