Duan Chu saw that there were still a lot of boat bandits outside, and said in his heart that this would be compared one by one, and he would not be able to finish the trial tomorrow, so he simply slapped the shocked wood: "Hit fifty boards!" ”

The official was like a wolf and a tiger, pulling off the pants of the boat bandits, crackling, and beating the boat bandits to cry wolf howls.

Before ten boards were played, Tie Si Prison whispered to Duan Chu: "Generally, ten boards will be unbearable, and fifty boards must be beaten to death." ”

It stands to reason that Tie Si Prison can be stopped directly, but he gives Duan Chu face and discusses it.

Duan Chu shouted to stop, the boat bandit was beaten, and he had to kowtow vigorously to thank him for letting go.

The back is simple, the cowardly, who have not been beaten when they come in, and when they see the bloody ears on the ground, they will also take the initiative to confess; The mouth is hard, and as soon as the board goes down, he talks about everything when he asks.

Duan Chu also has a principle for beating people.

Whoever has been bullied and lost the dozen or so women on the island in the middle of the lake, he doesn't care if you cooperate or not, he starts with ten big boards.

At the end of the night, Duan Chu was able to doze off a few times while the scribes were struggling to write and record.

Iron Prison will not work.

is older, the interrogation is careful, and at dawn I was almost tired and lay down.

As soon as the four of them met in the morning, the case was basically implemented.

However, suspicions were also discovered, the boat bandits were all slashed with knives and hammers, and only the few corpses that sank next to the island in the middle of the lake were examined by Song Shisheng, saying that the dagger was plotting from behind.

Song Shisheng is only responsible for the autopsy, so the specific situation has to be discussed by Duan Chu and the four of them.

Although some of the boat bandits were beaten, they admitted that they had killed these lives, but the cattle inspector and the Tie Si Prison agreed that the murderer was someone else.

These deceased people were all gambling stall stewards of the shopkeeper Xu.

Shopkeeper Xu opened a gambling stall in the county below, and Ma Qianli's support was indispensable.

Ma Qianli also received a lot of benefits from him before and after, and then he wanted to fool this matter over.

However, Duan Chu was not stupid, he also felt very suspicious, so he stood on the side of Tiesi Prison and Niu Patrol.

So the file overnight, along with this matter, was submitted to Wen Chaotian and decided by him.

……

Wen Chaotian didn't rest all night, and after the rescue of the dozen or so women who were trapped on the island in the middle of the lake, he sent people to notify their families, and some family members wiped their tears and brought them back.

There were a few family members, under the pretext that the distance was far away, and they didn't even come to the government.

Wen Chaotian understood that they suspected that the woman was insulted by the boat bandits, lost her innocence, and did not want it anymore.

Two stranded women, ashamed of the news, hanged themselves that night.

If it weren't for Xiang'er's cleverness and strict guarding, if she found out a little later, the two lives would be gone.

This matter was so angry that Wen Chaotian scolded him.

In the end, it was Xiang'er who came up with the idea to bring the woman who had no one home, and found the bachelor who was eager to get married and knew that it hurt to marry her, so as to give them a way out.

Wen Chaotian agreed.

"Xiang'er, this is a very good idea, save people to the end, in order to prevent them from marrying and having a hard life, you can pay them a little dowry from the captured boat bandits."

Is Wen Chaotian a good official?

Definitely! If not, he doesn't need to care about the lives of those women, just send them out of the palace gate and let them fend for themselves.

Does Wen Chaotian have the courage?

Absolutely! If you don't have the courage, you won't dare to use the seized money because of a few women!

A good officer with courage naturally wouldn't casually count those dead people on the heads of the boat bandits, so he listened to the report and read the file, and decided to investigate to the end and not stop until the real culprit was caught.

Duan Chu heard these things in his ears and saw them in his eyes.

"Follow Master Wen, you can't go wrong!" Duan Chu's blood was boiling.

And Ma Qianli, who walked out of the mansion, was already thinking about how to kill the shopkeeper in order to save his life.

Immortal Xu shopkeeper, Wen Chaotian will be traced to his head sooner or later.

……

Jiang Xiaomei didn't know all this that happened in the official mansion, if she knew, she wouldn't have to do anything, just stay in the Xu family, secretly hide money every day, and she could also leave a lot of family property.

Last night, Jiang Xiaomei didn't leave Xu's house, after all, she often went out after dark, and the shopkeeper Xu didn't dare to say anything about her, and the neighbors also scolded her for not keeping women's morals.

Although she didn't go out, she let the big yellow dog roam the streets and alleys at night.

After dawn, the big yellow dog brought Jiang Xiaomei a meat bun.

Jiang Xiaomei smiled and said, "Rhubarb, you can eat it, I don't like steamed buns." ”

The big yellow dog barked twice, and spit out another thing, Jiang Xiaomei stretched out her head to look, and was so frightened that she quickly covered it with a cloth, and blamed the big yellow dog for not biting people and taking food.

……

After Duan Chu decided to fight with Wen Chaotian to the end, he walked out of the mansion and stretched.

The iron-beaten men had to rest even at night, so Wen Chaotian let them go home and sleep.

Duan Chu didn't forget that Zhuzi wanted to eat steamed buns, and came to the steamed bun shop opposite the Zhaojia cloth shop.

As soon as Duan Chu arrived, the people in line got out of the way, lest they get into his bad luck.

"I think Duan Ye is unlucky, just to give Duan Ye convenience!"

Duan Chu was not annoyed, he stepped forward to buy two baskets of steamed buns, wrapped them in gauze and carried them home.

Who knew that the beads were held in his hand and smelled, and he was killed and didn't eat the buns, Duan Chu urged again and again, the beads were in a hurry, turned on the stove, broke two buns, and threw the meat filling into the wok.

Before Duan Chu could react, Zhu Zi picked up the lid and covered the wok again.

I only heard the crackling sound under the lid of the pot, the sound of meat jumping up and hitting the lid.

"There's water in the meat, and it's normal to jump when it's fried in hot oil." Duan Chu didn't think this was an accident.

"My silly brother, do you think I just put oil out?" As soon as the beads finished speaking, a piece of minced meat jumped up and turned the lid of the pot over.

"There is only one kind of meat that can jump, if you don't believe it, you can ask Liu Blind."

After Zhu Zi finished speaking, she took the wok off the stove, threw the rest of the buns into the pot, and even the piece of minced meat on the ground, she swept it up and put it into the pot, making it clear that she didn't even want the pot.

Duan Chu took a sip of wine and thought about it carefully.

It's really a little wrong, today in the bun shop, I didn't see the boss of the stuffy bun!

Duan Chu even brought the pot with buns, wrapped them in linen, and went to find Ma Qianli with them.

Ma Qianli was thinking about how he could extinguish the shopkeeper without leaving a trace, so he found a confidant to talk secretly, this would not be at home, Duan Chu knocked on the door and found no one, so he had to go to the cow to inspect again.

The cow inspected a large amount of food, was hungry, and had just finished eating three steamed buns.

Duan Chu relayed the bead's words to Niu Inspector, Niu Inspector swallowed his saliva, pulled Duan Chu to the Inspection Division, and directly ordered a team of soldiers.

"Let's talk to Lord Wen." Duan Chu said.

Inspector Niu's face was heavy, and he said: "Lord Wen is busy with official business, let's do this little thing, let's talk about it, what's more, we just suspect it, and there is no evidence, don't bother him for the time being." ”

Duan Chu thought about it too.

The two of them, with the officers and soldiers of the inspection, divided into two teams and marched towards the bun shop from different directions.

……

The proprietress of just sold the last dozens of buns to Jiang Xiaomei.

Seeing Jiang Xiaomei walking away, the proprietress couldn't help but smile, smiled and said to the guests in line that the buns were sold out, and plugged in the door of the bun shop.

The little white-faced guy hugged the proprietress and was not honest.

At that moment, there was the sound of heavy footsteps outside, and the crunch of swords rubbing against armor.

The bun shop is surrounded by a group!
