Chapter 189: Confession

"Zheng Hong, the county guard of Mayang County?"

Groov!

Fang Rusong couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and his gaze slowly moved to Lin Yu, trying to get an answer from him.

"Ahem!"

Lin Yu coughed lightly twice, his face was slightly red, but then his expression was serious: "This person is swaggering and cheating, now Mayang County is holding a poetry exchange conference, and the dignified county guards are not in charge, but they came to Wuling County to support Yang Ji booksellers, they are either liars or accomplices!"

"And such a thing?"

Fang Rusong felt that Lin Yu's words were very reasonable, and he was also a little angry at what Zheng Hong had scared him just now, and said in a deep voice: "Full of nonsense, come here, whip him a few times first!"

The corners of Lin Yu's mouth twitched slightly, in fact, he probably guessed that this Zheng Hong was really a county guard, but in order to arrest Yang Ji bookseller, he had to let Zheng Hong suffer a loss.

Zheng Hong, as the county guard of Mayang County, even if he embezzled the Yang family's silver, it had nothing to do with the theft of the poetry and articles of the Book Pavilion, at most he accepted bribes to legalize the poems and articles pirated by booksellers in Mayang County.

But it was not his turn to punish Zheng Hong and his father-in-law, and it was to be handed over to the Governor's Mansion for handling.

Seeing Lin Chong casually take out a whip from behind him, not only Lin Yu was stunned, but even Zheng Hong's body trembled violently.

"Okay, you kid surnamed Lin, it's you again, if you dare to do something to this official, you will definitely cut off your head when you turn around......"

Zheng Hong was really scared, in the prison before, the other black armor soldiers seemed to be afraid of themselves, but this kid surnamed Lin picked up the whip and whipped him a few times, almost not whipping him off a layer of skin.

Lin Chong looked back at Lin Yu, and saw that Lin Yu was looking at his nose and nose, and seemed to be sorting out this case, so he set his eyes on the county guard Fang Rusong.

"What are you doing in a daze? Draw this official, this person is really bold, pretending to be a county guard, and beating ...... fiercely"

Fang Rusong is a new official, so he naturally has to show the domineering he should have, otherwise how can he be convincing in the future.

Lin Chong got the order of the county guard, and he was even more rude when he was eager to behave, and when he raised his hand, he whipped it down with a few whips.

"Ouch, you kid...... Ah~ This official ...... Oh, to ...... Ah......h

Zheng Hong was almost about to collapse, the whip in this thousand households was specially made, even if his talent in the sea of qi took the initiative to protect his body, but he was still broken through the defense and really whipped on the flesh.

After a few whips, Zheng Hong's face was dazed, he couldn't understand that his dignified court official, the second-in-command of the largest county in Taiwu Province, actually suffered this crime.

Lin Chong counted it, exactly six whips, and then immediately put away the whip and stood aside, and the eyes of the other black-armored soldiers changed when they looked at him.

This kid is really an alternative, can't you see that this Zheng Hong has a bit of officialdom?

Bang!

After Fang Rusong rewarded a few whips, he was shocked to slap again, and the shopkeeper of the seven major booksellers and Zheng Hong couldn't help but tremble again.

"Who is the hall...... No, it seems to have been said, cough~"

Fang Rusong sorted out the language, and said: "As a Wuling bookseller, you are really bold to use the middle school of the clan to steal the poems and articles of the Book Pavilion, after a thorough investigation by Lin Ti, the crime is true, what else do you have to say?"

"Wronged, we are all serious businessmen, and the books we sell are all poetry books and picture books, which are shipped from other provinces, and strive for small profits but quick turnover...... If you don't believe adults, you can check ......"

There are few poems and articles pirated by booksellers, mixed in normal scripts, and they are not afraid to check.

But they didn't know anything about it...... The children of his own clan have long been forced out by the hundreds of households of the Black Armor Army to give out the specific names of the account books and the poems and articles of the Clerk's Pavilion.

It can be said that the evidence is conclusive, and there is no way to quibble.

Some booksellers took the lead, and others also shouted that they were wronged, and their sad and indignant looks even more wronged than Dou E.

In this regard, Lin Yu, who held the evidence of these booksellers, just watched all this coldly, he was not a saint, he just thought that these things that might cause him to lose his head would never be related to him.

The piracy of the poetry and articles of the Book Pavilion, as long as it is exposed, the father-in-law is not well supervised, and it is certain that he will lose his head, and it is not impossible to sin and his family.

And defeating these booksellers can not only break the game, but also ...... It can also earn a large amount of income to the yamen.

Kill several birds with one stone, why not.

"Silence!"

Bang!

Fang Rusong heard that his ears were calloused, and he was shocked to pat it several times before these booksellers quieted down.

It was Yang Ji Bookseller, who was extremely quiet from beginning to end, with a look of deplorability that I was guilty of, after all...... He had already heard the news, and the incriminating evidence in the mansion had been found by the pervasive Black Armor Army.

Don't think about it, the children in the family must also have a credit.

"Lin Yu, bring up the evidence of these booksellers, and summon the witnesses Zhang Zhidong and Zhou Yuan......"

Fang Rusong knew that the virtuous son-in-law Lin Yu was able to solve the case so quickly, and Zhang Fu contributed a lot, and the request he put forward was that Zhang Zhidong became a witness, made meritorious contributions, and pardoned him......

Being able to break the case of the Clerk's Pavilion and live a bookseller family is not a big deal, as long as you are willing to cooperate, the law is nothing more than human affection.

"Zhang Zhidong, Zhang Ji bookseller, it's him, and he really betrayed ......"

"And Zhou Tishi, I'm really a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised......"

The booksellers couldn't help but curse again, and at the same time, their foreheads flowed with the cold sweat of their juniors, knowing that most of them were planted now.

No wonder Zhang Zhidong is not among the prisoners, this guy actually took the initiative to descend.

At this moment, Yang Zuokang, who had always been silent, seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and said: "Zhang Ji bookseller also pirated the poems and articles of the Book Pavilion, I have evidence, I want to report him...... I want to make meritorious deeds, I plead guilty!"

According to the laws of Great Xia, those who voluntarily confess their sins can be punished lightly, but of course, they cannot be forgiven unless the sin is extremely heinous.

"I'm guilty, I've ......"

"I've also recruited ......"

Suddenly, the other booksellers also reacted, Zhang Zhidong became a witness, and it seemed that he had escaped this catastrophe perfectly, but they still have the opportunity to confess their guilt, although it is impossible to avoid punishment, but the death penalty will definitely not fall on their heads.

Lin Yu looked at these booksellers who were vying to confess his guilt with contempt, and couldn't help but sneer, if he took the initiative to confess his guilt when he said that he wanted to investigate the booksellers, maybe he would really be spared death.

But now, it's too late!

At this moment, the Black Armor Army also brought up the incriminating evidence of the seven major booksellers, and the account book contained seven boxes.

And the witnesses Zhang Zhidong and Zhou Yuan were also summoned to the main hall of the Thousand Households.

Zhang Zhidong was dressed plainly, and seemed to have become an ordinary person, without the dress that a rich businessman should have, and Zhou Yuan, who was originally in power, was now quite embarrassed, and he was whipped by Lin Chong, and now he still has a mark.

"Sinners meet the county guard!"

Zhang Zhidong ignored the booksellers who were originally on the same front, and let their murderous eyes look at him, and knelt on the ground with Zhou Yuan.

Although he and Zhou Yuan are both students who have achieved fame, they have to bow down to the county guard even if they are witnesses.
