Chapter 175: Can't
In the early morning, the sun finally cleared the clouds, escaping the shackles of layers of dark clouds, bringing a rare and bright good weather. The people and things in Qingyuan City, even bricks and tiles, began to wake up from the night, and there were yellow orioles perched on the branches, announcing the beginning of the day.
As usual, the yamen was promoted to the court very early, because of the death of Zhu Feng, Xu Chenlong, Si Linche and others investigated the case together, and the county officials did not dare to slack off, and they arrived before dawn.
Yun Genggen sent a letter yesterday, which described in detail the various reasons why she suspected Luo Dazhou, and how Luo Dazhou might act. And whether Luo Dazhou spread her rumors, I hope the county officials can find out as soon as possible, and don't make any more trouble in the city.
The county magistrate has tried the case for so many years, and he also suspected that Luo Dazhou might have something to do with this matter, so he pushed the boat to lock up Luo Dazhou, and now he ordered someone to take him to the court.
Luo Dazhou was imprisoned for a few days, his face was a little haggard, and he had a lot of blue stubble, which was very sloppy. But he has been in Caoyun for so many years, and he has more embarrassing times than this, and he doesn't care much about this, he just kneels in the hall and doesn't say a word.
"Luo Dazhou, let me ask you, did you kill Zhu Feng?" The county magistrate frowned.
Unexpectedly, Luo Dazhou expressed his attitude with silence, and after a while, he said, "No."
"Then let me ask you another question," the county magistrate only felt a little headache: "You stole the body, is it to prevent Yun Genggen from proving his innocence!"
The county magistrate's question was well thought out and full of traps, and if Luo Dazhou answered yes or no, it was a subconscious admission that he had stolen Zhu Feng's body. When people are nervous, they will unconsciously express the truth, and the county officials are quite sure that Luo Dazhou will be successful.
"It's not me, I didn't steal Zhu Feng's body." Unexpectedly, Luo Dazhou shook his head, and he didn't know if he had seen through the county official's strategy or if it was really not what he did.
At this point, the county magistrate saw that Luo Dazhou was still a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, so he had no choice but to ask someone to take the letters written by Yun Genggeng and read them one by one. Yun Genggen is indeed a smart person, not only listing Luo Dazhou's various reactions, but also writing down how to deal with this situation.
The county officials and their entourage looked at it, and it was clearly written that Luo Dazhou had been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he would definitely not show too much emotion during interrogation, and most of them would remain silent and cold. If this is the case, then it is useless to talk to him more, and he must be allowed to taste the pain of flesh and skin.
And this pain of flesh and skin, even more particular, Luo Dazhou is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but if he is a murderer, Zhu Feng's matter is not completely over, and there are children under his knees waiting to be fed, these have become the reason why he will not die and is afraid of death.
This is the end of the handwriting, and the county official wiped the thin sweat on his forehead, but he really didn't expect Yun Genggen to be such a scheming person, and the person Si Linche wanted to marry would not be a rat or something. After nodding in agreement, he slapped the eye-catching slap of the case, and shouted: "Luo Dazhou, the official will ask you again, whether Zhu Feng's corpse is hidden by you!"
This time, Luo Dazhou raised his head, looked at the county official, and said lightly: "No."
The county magistrate has also been suffering from the headache of this case in recent days, so he simply called the jailer next to him to prepare to punish Luo Dazhou.
"My lord, this is going to be tortured to extract a confession?" Luo Dazhou sneered, looking at the jailer who came over, but his face did not change.
The county official stopped talking, and with a wave of his hand, the board hit Luo Dazhou, and after twenty boards, Luo Dazhou had already seen blood.
"Don't say it yet?"
Luo Dazhou raised his head, struggled a few times, and grinned in pain: "I said, Zhu Feng's body was not stolen by me."
The county magistrate raised his hand again: "Fifty boards."
The way the yamen tried cases was different, and if they wanted to be punished, most of them would be punished. Twenty or thirty boards of this board on the body are naturally nothing serious, they are just some flesh and skin, but if it is fifty boards, it may hurt the internal organs and directly cause death. The county official's move was just to test how Luo Dazhou would react at this life-and-death juncture.
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, I saw Luo Dazhou's face change, but he didn't say anything, only closed his eyes and turned his head sideways, looking like he was going to die. Fifty boards went down, Luo Dazhou was already seriously injured, and he was lying on the ground dying.
"Luo Dazhou, Zhu Feng's corpse, is it you hiding!" The county magistrate snapped the shot, and asked sharply for the third time.
"No, it's me." Luo Dazhou moved his fingers and wanted to sit up reluctantly, but he was helplessly seriously injured, and his consciousness was a little unconscious, so he only muttered repeatedly.
Seeing his reaction, the county magistrate shook his head helplessly. If Zhu Feng's body was taken away by him, then Luo Dazhou would most likely tell the truth, after all, at the moment of life and death, everyone will put their own life first. And since Luo Dazhou still insists that it was not him, it is indeed possible that it really has nothing to do with him, but if it is not him, who will it be?
The county official had a headache for a while, so he asked someone to carry Luo Dazhou out, find a doctor to give him medicine, and lock him up again. Even if the loss of Zhu Feng's body has nothing to do with him, Zhu Feng's death is inseparable from Luo Dazhou.
"My lord, what should I do next?" The jailer came in and asked.
The county magistrate looked up and saw that the sun was already scorching, and the weather was stuffy. After taking a few sips of tea and resting for a while, he thought about it for a while, and then said, "Bring the others from the Black Tiger Village up and interrogate them one by one!"
Zhu Kui is Zhu Feng's father-in-law, and he thinks about redressing his son's grievances every day, so naturally there is no need to ask anymore. So he first brought two people from the three masters and four masters, these two people are good friends with Zhu Feng on weekdays, and they can be regarded as watching him grow up, and besides, these two people have been rescued by Zhu Kui, and they are both temperamental people who will repay their kindness, so they will not do anything to Zhu Feng.
This group of people went down, another team of people came up, and the county magistrate spent a lot of time interrogating everyone. Although this Black Tiger Village is a bandit's nest, Zhu Feng treats people politely and honestly when he is a child, and has a good relationship with everyone in Black Tiger Village, and he is like a brother on weekdays.
After a round of interrogation, no enemies or anything like were found, but everyone in Black Tiger Village was either angry or crying, begging the county official to give the wind justice.
The county magistrate looked at the chaotic situation, annoyed by them, and quickly asked the jailer to take these ghosts crying wolf back, and sighed deeply as he looked at the sunlight that formed a wire with the darkness in the house.
It's not that he feels tired of this errand, but he just thinks that if there is any progress in this case, I'm afraid that he, a little person, can't wade into the water.
