The guards dragged Wang Hu back to the tent, and after Wang Hu entered the tent, he knelt on the ground without saying a word, and kept kowtowing to Zhongde and the others, and said: "Wang Hu thanks you for not killing!"

"You don't have to be happy early, kill you or not, and see how well you behave. Zhongde didn't look at Wang Hu, who annoyed him incomparably, but just closed his eyes and said.

"The villain must be good at behaving. "For Wang Hu, who is trying to survive, kowtow like pounding garlic.

"This ......" Guo looked at Zhong De puzzled, just now he just said that he wanted to bring Wang Hu back and had something else to ask, why didn't he want to kill him now?

Zhong De seemed to feel that Guo Yong was looking at him, he opened his eyes and looked at Guo Yong, and said with a slight smile: "What is the matter with filial piety?"

Although Guo Yong was dissatisfied with Zhongde's practice of keeping Wang Hu, in the workplace, because Zhongde was the highest magistrate of a county, and he was his brother in terms of age, it was not reasonable to question him, let alone in front of a prisoner, so he should not say anything else.

Guo Chong Zhongde hugged his fist and said, "It's okay." ”

Guo Yong, who is in the military camp in different ways, and Guo Wei, who is often on the county government council, knows the reason why Zhongde wants to stay in Wang Hu.

Guo Wei called Jiang Yi and whispered: "Please write a charge and let this guy sign and detain." ”

Jiang Yi has served Zhong De all the year round, almost left and right, and it can even be said that among the people present, only Jiang Yi understands Zhong De's thoughts best, and without Guo Wei's instructions, Jiang Yi handed Guo Wei the indictment that had already been written.

The indictment reads:

Wang Hu, the head of Shuling Village, did not think about serving the country, did not care for the people, and also extorted money from the people in the village to ____, causing the people to have no livelihood, and also mixed with prostitutes in the Qinglou for eight days, causing the tragedy in the village to be destroyed without knowing it, and bribed Quwei County Commander Wang De and County Magistrate Zhou Huan in the Qinglou, intending to buy and sell official positions and achieve the purpose of not confessing to others.

The above is not half false, Wang Hu agrees.

Guo Wei carefully read the indictment prepared by Jiang Yi, and saw that the amount of money and property taken was empty, he nodded with satisfaction, and waited until everything was clear, and then wrote it again. Although we have arrested you, we will enforce the law impartially and will never wronged you.

The long-term income of a village is only 200 stones, and he took 10,000 steps back and said, even if he has extra money to go to the Qinglou to find Sister Yao, but after staying in it for seven or eight days, it is impossible to have any remaining money to bribe Wang De and Zhou Huan. If you think about it, you will know that the lack of money will definitely not be able to support the eyelids of the two of them, so Wang Hu must have taken a lot of money from the people!

wanted to search how much stolen money Wang Hu's family had, but he was afraid that Wang Hu would hide the money too secretly, or hide more than one place, at the moment Guo Wei had a plan to call Yang Yuan and Yang Suo, and deliberately raised his voice and said: "Your two brothers take thirty armor soldiers to Wang Hu's house, detain all the old and young in his family, and interrogate him for corruption, where the gold and silver are hidden, if you resist or conceal it and do not report it, you two do not need to be merciful or declare, you can be killed on the spot!"

"Yes. Being able to eliminate violence for the people, Yang Yuan and Yang Suo were of course happy to do it, and immediately knelt on the ground to receive the order and replied.

Guo Wei's very red threatening words Wang Huquan heard it, especially the last sentence of the four words "immediately beheaded on the spot", and he felt like thunder exploded in his ears!

No matter how bad a person is, he will not take care of his family. Wang Hu was still lucky at first, thinking that he could be exempted from the death penalty after confessing his guilt, but when he heard Guo Wei's order, he suddenly no longer had any expectations for survival, and calculated in his heart: "As long as you don't affect your wife and children, it doesn't matter if you die or not." ”

Wang Hu immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Guo Wei and said: "The villain knows that the criminal is monstrous, and the villain is willing to cooperate with the adult. ”

The corners of Guo Wei's mouth raised and said: "As long as you truthfully confess your crimes, I will not hurt your family's life!"

"Yes, I recruit. Wang Hu, who had already "died generously", said with a heart.

"I have been roughly counting 2,000 taels of silver so far, and I have not moved, but in the past eight days, I have spent 200 taels, bribed Wang De and Zhou Huan with 600 taels each, and there are 600 taels left. Wang Hu knelt on the ground and said.

Seeing that Wang Hu was about to confess, Jiang Yi hurriedly took a pen and wrote down the amount of embezzled money and the whereabouts of some of the money.

A village chief actually embezzled 2,000 taels! This made Zhong De and the others present all gasp, especially Zhong De, who was the highest governor present, he didn't dare to think that he could have 2,000 taels of silver in his life, and the biggest sum of money he had ever seen before was Chu Yang who asked him to pass on the construction to the people. Now that I think about it, a village chief can scavenge a lot of money from the villagers, so what kind of hardship do the people have to become?!

Guo clenched his fists, resisted Chong, who wanted to kill Wang Hu on the spot, gritted his teeth and said, "Where is the rest of the money hidden?"

"Zang...... Hide...... Hidden in the ......" Guo was about to cut Wang Hu without saying a word, which left a lot of psychological shadow on Wang Hu, and now he was asked so angrily by Guo Yong, Wang Hu was so frightened that he stammered.

"Say it quickly! Isn't the traitor trying to hide it?!" Guo Yong looked at Wang Hu who was stammering, and suddenly his heart became even more angry, and he pointed at Wang Hu and scolded with a copy of the copy.

"Zang...... Tucked away in ...... There are 100 taels hidden under the kang in my house, 100 taels under the stone bricks in the hall, 100 taels in the well in the courtyard, and 400 taels in the stone wall of the well. was reprimanded by Guo Yongyi, Wang Hu was really afraid that Guo Yong would no longer take care of his family, and he couldn't take care of anything else immediately, so he calmly said where the money was.

It really made Guo Wei guess, it was really a veritable cunning rabbit hole! In order to hide the embezzlement money, he actually took great pains to hide it in the well! If Guo Wei hadn't deceived him, he might not have been able to find out.

Guo Wei nodded with satisfaction and looked at Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi re-examined the indictment, and handed it to Guo Wei after making sure that it was correct, Guo Wei took the indictment and looked at the whereabouts of the re-added money and the money and treasures, and handed it back to Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi took the indictment, a brush and an inkstone to Wang Hu's side, read the contents of the indictment, handed three things to Wang Hu, and said: "If you have read the indictment, if it is correct, you should sign and draw it." ”

After Wang Hu, who had absolutely confessed and obeyed in his heart, took the indictment, he didn't look at it and directly raised the pen to write his name, and pressed his hand on the inkstone to stick ink, and put a handprint on the indictment. ”

"As long as you don't hide it, you won't go against it. Jiang Yi took the indictment and handed it back to Zhongde.

"Yes. Wang Hu nodded after hearing this.

From the beginning of Wang Hu's confession, Zhong De also wrote a letter, which is as follows:

I, together with the county Cheng Guo Lanshi and the county lieutenant Guo Xiaocai, investigated the case of destroying the door in Shuling Village, and had no intention of smashing the thief Wang Hu, and I specially attached his crimes.

In my opinion, this generation should be beheaded, but Fang Shan considered that this should be decided by the state pastor, so he left this thief as a witness! Fang Shan thought that if Wang De and Zhou Huan had been used for a long time to steal officials and deceive the lords, they would make the people live in fire and water, and sooner or later they would make the community become Qiu Xu!

Zhongde packed the letter, called Wang Xiao and said, "You quickly Pegasus, hand this letter to the state pastor." ”

"Let's go. Wang Xiao took the letter with both hands and walked out of the camp quickly.

Zhongde called Yang Yuan over again, handed him Wang Hu's indictment, and said, "You bring the indictment, lead the armor twenty, and deport Wang Xiao to the state capital and hand it over to the state pastor for disposal." ”

Yang Yuan was ordered to pull Wang Hu, who was already handcuffed and shackled, and walked out, Wang Hu, who was being dragged away, did not move, just when Yang Yuan didn't understand what Wang Hu was going to do, Wang Hu knelt on the ground again, kowtowed to Zhongde, stood up and said: "Wang Hu will not regret his crimes, I just ask the adults to keep their promises." ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Yang Yuan, and walked straight out of the account, and the back even showed his meaning freely! This made everyone in the tent speechless, especially Guo Yong, who was like a flame, directly stood up and pointed in the direction of Wang Hu outside the tent and scolded: "Draft grandma's mouth, a corrupt official, drag you thin clothes?!"
