Chapter XXVIII
The guards of Prince Gong's Mansion found the little master and other children in the forest, and Commander Ji personally escorted Wei Tong back to the palace courtyard, and sent a team of people to send the children to the county government of Yucheng County. Jiang Yucheng's side also wiped out the kidnapping gang hiding in the city, but when he counted the number of people, he found that there was one missing, according to the confession of those kidnappers, the missing one was the mole man Ma Si who took the children to the ferry.
Jiang Yucheng immediately issued a wanted warrant, and Ma Si was wanted in the whole county, and he also sent letters to the two neighboring counties, saying that as long as Ma Si was found, he would be arrested immediately. Seeing the children come back safely, the big stone in Jiang Yucheng's heart fell. It's just that the children tossed for a day, and their bodies were covered with mud, and their complexions didn't look good, like eggplants that had been beaten by frost.
Jiang Yucheng asked people to lead the children to rest, and sent someone to inform their families, and after the arrangements were made, they had time to take a look. The little girl looked more energetic than the others, and after seeing him, she kept shouting that she was hungry.
Jiang Yucheng took some pastries to feed her, but after a few bites, he stopped eating, and said with a pout: "Lord Jiang, I want to go home." ”
Jiang Yucheng hurriedly reassured: "I have already sent someone to inform your mother, she will come soon." ”
Hearing this, Manman had the heart to continue eating, but while eating, he looked at the door, obviously looking forward to her mother coming sooner.
Yan Niang got the news here, and she didn't even bother to change her clothes, so she hired a carriage and went straight to the county office. The moment she saw her daughter, tears couldn't help but burst down the embankment, she carefully checked the full up and down, and was relieved to see that she was not injured.
But when I saw the snack foam on the corner of my daughter's mouth and the dirt marks on her body, I knew that she had also suffered a lot. She held her daughter tightly in her arms, like a lost treasure.
Yan Niang was very grateful to Jiang Yucheng for helping to find the child, and pulled Man Man to kneel down in front of him, Jiang Yucheng saw this and hurriedly helped the mother and daughter up, "Nie Niangzi, the children were sent back by the guards of Prince Gong's Mansion, I really don't dare to take credit." ”
Yan Niang said with red eyes: "Whether it is Lord Jiang or the guards of Prince Gong's Mansion, they are the life-savers of our mother and daughter." ”
Jiang Yucheng wanted to say something, but at this time, someone came to report that the commander of Gong Wang's Mansion was here. Jiang Yucheng had no choice but to let Yan Niang's mother and daughter go back to Lingjiang Town first, and the rest of the things would be talked about later.
Jiang Yucheng hurried to see Commander Ji, who glanced at the young magistrate and said straight to the point: "Ji was interrogated by the order of the prince, and I hope Lord Jiang will be accommodating." ”
"This..."Jiang Yucheng was thinking about how to answer, and then listened to Ji Commander: "Lord Jiang can know that the arrest of the grandson is not as simple as it seems, and the prince of my family suspects that someone is taking revenge for personal gain, so he must immediately interrogate the suspect." ”
Commander Ji carried out King Gong, Jiang Yucheng had no choice but to comply, and he took Commander Ji to the county jail. In the cell, except for the kidnapper boss, the rest are locked together. Commander Ji was the first to interrogate the kidnapper boss, despite the heavy sentence. But the boss never admitted that he had captured King Gong's grandson.
Looking at the dying kidnapper boss, Jiang Yucheng was afraid that he would really kill someone, so he hurriedly proposed: "Let's continue to interrogate others." ”
Commander Ji glanced at him and asked his subordinates to bring someone else.
The person who was re-arraigned was called Ma Liu, Ma Si's own brother, and when he was brought up, he was already frightened stupid by the torture of the kidnapper boss, and he confessed 1510 without being asked, and even told him about stealing the neighbor's chicken when he was a child.
But what he confessed was not what Commander Ji wanted at all, and Commander Ji waved his hand, "Take this Ma Liu down, and let him feel the treatment of the boss." ”
"No, my lord, I'll confess, I'll confess." When Ma Liuyi heard that he was going to torture himself, his legs were so frightened that his legs were weak, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, I remember that there are still things to be done. ”
Commander Ji glanced at him, and he immediately said: "It's my brother, about a month ago, he suddenly became generous, I thought he went to the gambling house to win money, so I didn't think much about it." Another time I saw him get together with a middle-aged man, the two of them didn't know what to see, and they locked up in the house for a long time before they came out, and I asked him what he was doing and he told me to leave it alone. ”
Ma Liu was really scared, and confessed his own brother. Commander Ji had a gut feeling that there was something wrong with this, and asked Ma Liu: "Do you know that person?" ”
The six heads of the horse shook like a rattle.
Commander Ji continued to ask, "Did your brother become rich after meeting that man, or did he become rich before he met him?" ”
Ma Liu thought about it for a moment and replied, "It seems to be before." ”
Commander Ji glanced at him expressionlessly, and he changed his words again: "It's after." ”
Seeing him change back and forth, Commander Ji became a little impatient, and shouted: "Is it before or after?" If you can't say it clearly, you will be punished. ”
Ma Liu was so frightened that he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives, I really can't remember, Liao Cuier must know that she is my brother's best friend, my eldest brother is most willing to spend money on her, and he will tell her anything about it." ”
Commander Ji looked at Jiang Yucheng, Jiang Yucheng frowned and said, "That Liao Cui'er is a secret prostitute in Bird and Flower Street, her words may not be credible." "Some time ago, there was a case related to Liao Cuier, and she was summoned for questioning, and there was almost no truth.
Ma Liuliu argued loudly: "Credible, credible, Liao Cuier's son is my eldest brother's species, and my brother is also a kidnapper for this son." ”
Jiang Yucheng and Commander Ji glanced at each other, and Commander Ji instructed his subordinates: "Go to Bird and Flower Street and bring that Liao Cuier and her son over." ”
Jiang Yucheng disagreed: "Take that Liao Cui'er is it, why bother the child." ”
Commander Ji smiled and patted Jiang Yucheng on the shoulder: "Master Jiang, you are still too young, if Liao Cui'er has a tight mouth, she will have to use that child to loosen her mouth." ”
Seeing that his face was not worried, he smiled again: "Don't worry, I won't hurt that child." ”
Jiang Yucheng only felt that he had a turbid breath in his heart, and he was uncomfortable.
Soon Liao Cuier and her son Liao Xiaobao were taken to the county office, the mother and son were very panicked, Liao Xiaobao hugged her mother's thigh tightly, and there were tears on her face.
In comparison, Liao Cuier was much calmer, but her pale face still showed that she was afraid.
Commander Ji walked around them a few times, and suddenly approached and asked, "Tell me, how much do you know about Ma Si?" ”
Liao Cuier took two steps back and said nervously: "Official, that Ma Si has patronized the slave's business a few times, and his slave really doesn't know." ”
Commander Ji sneered, a pair of eyes staring at her like hooks, and Liao Cuier was so frightened that she didn't even dare to breathe. At this moment, Commander Ji suddenly took Liao Xiaobao behind her, "It is said that the drama is ruthless, the bitch is unrighteous, and it seems that this is not all the case, you are quite affectionate to Ma Si." ”
After finishing speaking, he turned around and said sharply: "If you honestly confess what Ma Si has done recently, this commander will naturally give you an intact son, if you refuse to confess or hide something, your son..."
Commander Ji moved too fast, Liao Cuier could only watch him arrest his son away, Liao Xiaobao was frightened by this change and cried, Liao Cuier was afraid that her son would be hurt, and hurriedly said: "I said, I said, as long as you don't hurt Xiaobao." ”
Hearing this, Commander Ji handed over Liao Xiaobao to his subordinates to take away, "You explain clearly to this commander, and you are not allowed to show a word, and when you finish explaining, you will naturally reunite your mother and son." ”
Liao Cuier didn't dare to disobey, and explained what Ma Si had done in recent years, including her dealings with the third child of the Ge family. is worthy of being the person who gave birth to a son to Ma Si, she knows much more than Ma Liu.
Ma Si was originally from a neighboring county, but in order to avoid gambling debts, he ran to Yucheng County and met Liao Cuier in Lingjiang Town. Liao Cuier is a secret doorman, she became pregnant after getting along with Ma Si, and after giving birth to a child, Ma Si didn't let her pick up guests.
But the good times didn't last long, Ma Si was a good gambler, and lost all the savings on Liao Cuier, with the acquiescence of Ma Si, Liao Cuier had to return to her old business, and the first person to patronize her business was Ge Laosan of the Ge family.
Ge Laosan often comes to Bird and Flower Street to find Liao Cuier, Ma Si also knows, and Ge Laosan also knows about Ma Si and Liao Cuier, these two men have never met, but they both know that there is such a person.
One day, Ge Laosan suddenly asked Ma Si to meet through Liao Cuier, and the two of them were drinking at Liao Cuier's house while talking about things, and when Liao Cuier poured them wine, they vaguely heard Ge Laosan say that he wanted to please the prince, so as to help his daughter gain a firm foothold in the palace.
Na Ma Si patted his chest and said that everything was wrapped up in him, but the reward could not be less. Ge Laosan immediately took out a bag of silver and threw it to him, and said that there would be a heavy reward after the matter was completed.
Later, when the two met again, they went directly to Ma Si's house, and happened to be bumped into by Ma Liu.
After knowing who the middle-aged man was, Commander Ji immediately asked people to arrest Ge Laosan. At this time, Ge Laosan didn't know that he had been confessed, and he was still glad that Ma Si ran away, otherwise he would really be done playing.
The people from Prince Gong's Mansion moved quickly, and when Ge Laosan was taken to the county office, he hadn't figured out what was going on. But when he saw Liao Cui'er present, his heart chuckled.
"You're Ge Laosan?" Commander Ji sat at the top, staring at Ge Laosan and asking.
Ge Laosan's heart was beating like a drum, and he hurriedly replied calmly: "Yes, Xiaomin is Ge Laosan, I don't know what the official is looking for Xiaomin?" ”
"Do you recognize a bastard named Ma Si?"
Ge Laosan knew something bad as soon as he heard the word "Ma Si", but he still forced his composure and said: "Back to the official, the people don't know me." ”
Commander Ji stared at him twice, and suddenly smiled, "Come on, bring someone up for me." ”
Ge Laosan raised his head in a panic, and a desperate fear hit his heart, it's over, it's over, he shouted silently in his heart, until Liao Cuier was brought out, he thought it was Ma Si who was caught.
The moment he saw Liao Cui'er, his heart slowly fell back, as long as it wasn't Ma Si.
Commander Ji asked Liao Cuier to repeat the previous confession in front of Ge Laosan, and after Ge Laosan heard it, his face immediately changed, and he rushed up and asked: "Slut, where is Lao Tzu sorry for you, to slander Lao Tzu so much?" ”
Liao Cui'er took two steps back, stared at him calmly and said, "The slave didn't slander you, every word the slave said was true." ”
"Slut, Lao Tzu killed you." Ge Laosan was annoyed, and was about to make a move as he spoke, but at this moment, he was restrained by the guards of the palace.
Commander Ji got up and came to him, "You are quite bold, even King Gong's grandson dares to murder, it seems that you are tired of it." ”
After speaking, he said to his subordinates: "Pull this person down to write a confession, write it clearly one by one, and then take it back to be disposed of by the prince." ”
"I didn't plot to kill any grandchildren, you caught the wrong person." Ge Laosan struggled and shouted: "You can't kill innocents indiscriminately, I want to find the prince of the county to call the shots, my Ge family has three daughters in the mansion of the prince of the county, if you arrest me, just wait for the prince of the county to ask for the guilt." ”
Hearing this, Commander Ji seemed to have heard a joke, "Are you talking about the king of Hedong County?" Hmph, the most important thing for him now is to think about how to get out of this matter, because of him, the grandson was killed twice in succession, Prince Gong's Mansion and Hedong County Palace's Mansion are already a common enemy, do you say that this time he will not even be able to keep the title of the county king? ”
