Chapter Thirty-Four: All or Nothing

"The contemptible officials are small and humble, and many reasons are not for themselves. The things recorded in the account were all forced by Uncle Bai Guo to do it. I don't listen to his disgrace, I'm afraid that I will end up in the same fate as the previous one. Bai Shaoding defended himself with a look of wronged and wronged.

"What happened to the last term?" Zhu Zihan asked.

"I was dismissed first, and then I died!"

Zhu Zihan asked again: "How did Huang Jingui die?"

Bai Shaoding waved his hand and said, "My lord, this-I really don't know. I just told him to get out of here and go back to his hometown to hide. I'll let him come back when you're gone. ”

"Alas, I'm going to check your account, have you told anyone about it?" Zhu Zihan suddenly asked him about it.

"I told Uncle Guo. He told me that he had a way to reassure me. ”

Zhu Zihan felt that the goal had been achieved, so he ordered: "Let him sign and demarcate the pledge." ”

Bai Shaoding signed, pressed his handprint, and was dragged down.

When Bai Shaoding was dragged down, he still shouted: "I was forced, wronged!"

Master Zhu said to Huang Dakui: "See! The case is not yet over, you should go back first! Ben Qin will give your father justice." ”

Huang Dakui is gone. Zhu Zihan also retired.

Bai Shaoding, a local corrupt official and mediocre official, has been arrested. However, Bai Shangxiong, the source of local evil, is still at large. To solve the fundamental problem here, it is necessary to bring Bai Shangxiong to justice. Bai Shangxiong's backer is very hard, how can he say that he can catch it. But in order to solve the problem here, he must also be arrested.

Before Zhu Zihan moved Bai Shangxiong, he first had to visit Bai Mansion to find out his attitude towards arresting Bai Shaoding and see how he defended himself.

Zhu Zihan came to Baifu. Bai Shangxiong received him very politely. After the two met, Bai Shangxiong just greeted Bai Shaoding and didn't mention Bai Shaoding.

"Haven't you heard of Bai Shaoding's case?" Zhu Zihan had to take the initiative to ask.

"I know, I heard that you put Bai Shaoding on death row?" Bai Shangxiong replied calmly and asked rhetorically.

"Yes, this people are too angry, the crime is extremely heinous, not to kill him is worthy of the people, not to kill him is ashamed of the court. ”

"Yes, this person has neglected his duty and deserved to be killed for his bribes. Bai Shangxiong understood in his heart that Bai Shaoding had fallen into the hands of others, so let's talk about it with others!

This made Zhu Zihan a little surprised, but what he didn't expect was that Bai Shangxiong would say this. It's so hateful to know the law and break the law in this way.

Zhu Zihan simply turned the topic to Bai Shangxiong and asked, "What do you say I should do with his accomplices?"

"You're talking about me, right?" Zhu Zihan didn't expect Bai Shangxiong to be so arrogant.

Bai Shangxiong paused for a moment and then said: "Let me first state that I have a business relationship with him. It has nothing to do with me that he sinned. As for the embankment repair, he is the one who is scheming me, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

"It doesn't matter if it has a relationship, as long as you make some compensation, you can still make big things into small things, and small things into small things. ”

Bai Shangxiong said nonchalantly, "Tell me about it." ”

"For example, if you buy cheap grain, you can make up the difference, and if you build a levee on the north bank, you should pay some money to repair the embankment on the south bank. ”

"Okay, okay! I'm not a soft persimmon, I can pinch as much as I want. If you want to arrest me and put me in prison, you can! Then it's up to you to see if you have the ability to do it!" Bai Shangxiong suddenly became angry.

Zhu Zihan said calmly: "Okay, then let's do it, come to Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao business." ”

"What are you afraid of, you don't inquire. I don't even need troops, even my own samurai are enough for you to deal with. Come on, send off. ”

This last sentence reminded Zhu Zihan. There is a good chance that he has ties to the troops. Later, Zhu Zihan learned that Wu Chuanshui, the envoy of the local garrison, was Bai Shangxiong's aunt and cousin. Bai Shangxiong, Bai Shangxiong, you don't know how much power I have!

The next day, Zhu Zihan transferred Wu Chuanshui's troops to other places to maintain social order. On the same day, Zhu Zihan ordered the Yulin army he brought to surround Baifu, and Wang Xiaolong and Zhang Dahu entered Baifu.

The warriors of Baifu rushed up one after another to block and fight, but they couldn't stop Wang and Zhang. The two of them knocked down more than twenty people in a row and easily entered the lobby.

Bai Shangxiong saw that he couldn't stop them, so he pretended to be okay and said, "The two generals are very good at martial arts. Forgive me for the rudeness of my subordinates! I wonder what the two generals are doing here?"

Zhang Dahu took out the holy decree and handed it to Wang Xiaolong.

"On behalf of Lord Zhu, I came to read the holy decree to Uncle Guo. Wang Xiaolong took the holy decree and said.

Bai Shangxiong knelt down to listen to the announcement. After the decree was read, Wang Xiaolong then said: "Lord Qincha ordered his subordinates to invite Uncle Guo to the county government to discuss the case. Please don't be embarrassed for me to wait. ”

Bai Shangxiong knew that this time there was more luck and less luck. I had no other way, so I had to make up a nonsense saying: "I have a disease, and it is really difficult to obey my fate." ”

"Don't embarrass us, you better go and make it clear, I'll be back soon." Wang Xiaolong persuaded him.

Bai Shangxiong wanted to excuse himself and stop talking, thinking: My relatives and nobles are afraid of him, what can they do to me?

Bai Shangxiong came to the county office, and the formation here really made him a little intimidating.

Zhu Zihan greeted Bai Shangxiong when he saw him coming, and said, "Uncle Guo, the lower officials have been waiting for you here for a long time." Don't you think it's better to speak here than in your house, and to do things in your house will make your subordinates see what they shouldn't see, and it will be a loss of your majesty. ”

Bai Shangxiong had no intention of greeting and didn't want to reply to Zhu Zihan's words, so he could only put on a stinky shelf and not take care of others.

"Quick, please take a seat for Uncle Guo. ”

After they each sat down, Zhu Zihan said: "Uncle Guo discussed with you last time: first, you make up the price of the grain bought cheaply; second, the matter of repairing the embankment, what should not be repaired, what should not be repaired, you take the money to repair the repair. Have you thought of these two suggestions?"

"Joke, why listen to your advice. It's unreasonable, the reason I said last time, but I won't talk about it this time. ”

"Okay, I already know your attitude to these two things. Now about the murder, you have to talk about it!"

Bai Shangxiong 'chuckled' in his heart after hearing the word 'killing', and deliberately raised his voice: "Nonsense, why should I kill someone?"

"Okay, it looks like you don't want to cooperate. Before he died, he hid your book of incriminating evidence. Through his hints, we found the ledger. Don't you want to take a look?"

Even if I have account dealings with Bai Shaoding, it doesn't prove that I killed someone. ”

"Okay, you're still going to play tricks, are you? Come on, bring the murderer Dub with you. ”

Du Bu was brought up, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Bai Shangxiong. Bai Shangxiong saw Du Bu being brought up, and he was a little nervous, but he quickly calmed down again. Bai Shangxiong was still very confident, he thought that Du Bu would not dare to testify against him.

Zhu Zihan patted the shocked wood and said, "Du Bu, do you have a grudge against Huang Jingui?"

"No, no, no. Dub said in a panic.

"If there is no vengeance, why would you kill him? You must know that innocent murder is a crime of the second degree. ”

Du Bu was scared, he looked at Bai Shangxiong, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"Say it quickly, if you don't say it, it'll be too late!" Lord Zhu slapped the shocked wood again and said sternly.

Lord Zhu saw that Du Bu was still hesitating, and it was estimated that he was afraid that Bai Shangxiong would take revenge on his family.

"It looks like your family isn't safe. Master Zhu sighed and said.

At this moment, Du Bu's ears rang with what Master Zhu persuaded him to say when he was arrested.

"Do you want to save yourself and your family? If you want to save yourself, then you have to expose Bai Shangxiong. If he is subdued, your family will be safe. If you don't catch him, your family will never live in peace. ”

Du Bu looked at Bai Shangxiong and then at Lord Zhu. At this time, he felt that Master Zhu was right.

He dared to punish Bai Shangxiong, why can't I risk my life to expose Bai Shangxiong! I want to expose him, only by punishing him can my family be truly saved!

Du Bu finally made up his mind, he slowly raised his head and said, "It was Bai Shangxiong who instructed me to kill Huang Jingui. ”

Bai Shangxiong stood up angrily when he heard this, pointed at Du Bu and said, "He's a madman, I don't know him." ”

"You don't know me, and I haven't spent the money you gave me, and the silver bears witness that it has a mark!" argued Dub.

Zhu Zihan said to Bai Shangxiong: "You don't have to quibble about this murder case, it's useless to quibble with both human and material evidence." You still talk about killing the former county commander, Shao Changxi!"

"Master Zhu, Shao Changxi was killed by robbers, why did he implicate me again?"

"Bai Shangxiong, listen up. Bai Shaoding has already admitted that Shao Changxi was not killed by robbers, but by the people you sent. The case in which he was killed by robbers and killed was decided by your will. The witnesses are all there, do you dare not admit it?"

Bai Shangxiong felt very bad when he heard it, there was no other way, he could only rely on his momentum to suppress people. He was angry, pointed at Zhu Zihan and said, "What do you mean? ”

When Bai Shangxiong said this, he had no confidence in his heart. He knew about killing Shao Changxi, and there was no secret at all.

"Take the murderer for nothing. ”

Bai Weicai is Bai Shangxiong's cousin. This guy relies on his cousin's power on weekdays, cheating, cheating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of evil.

Today, he was tied up in the lobby, and he wanted to be unconvinced. When he saw his cousin's current appearance, he softened. So, he honestly told him how his cousin arranged for him to kill Shao Changxi at that time.

Zhu Zihan said to Bai Shangxiong: "What else do you have to say now?"

Bai Shangxiong couldn't hide it when he saw it, so he could only say: "I killed me, what can you do to me? ”

Zhu Zihan said: "It's good to admit it, sign it and make a bet!"

Bai Shangxiong signed and crossed out without care, he thought that Zhu Zihan didn't dare to do anything to himself. He didn't expect that as soon as he finished signing and marking, he immediately put shackles on himself. Then, he was put on death row along with Du Bu and Bai Weicai.

In order to deal with Bai Shangxiong's capital crime more securely, so as to avoid future troubles. Zhu Zihan has successively accepted more than a dozen murder cases of Bai Shangxiong, and has investigated and implemented all the crimes in these cases.

A few days later, in order to deter some people with other intentions, Zhu Zihan came to kill and make an example, and beheaded Bai Shangxiong, Bai Shaoding, Bai Weicai, and Du Bu outside the bazaar.

One day at noon, Shi Deng was drinking afternoon tea. At this time, a Taoist boy came and sent a secret letter. When the stone lamp was turned on, he was surprised. It turned out that Zhu Zihan pierced the sky. Bai Shangxiong was openly executed.

He was implicated in this matter, and he agreed to recommend him. At that time, he boasted to Niangniang that he wanted to control him. But now her brother has been killed. Is it difficult for me to get away with the poor road?

The secret letter in his hand fell to the ground like a leaf in the autumn wind. This incident made Shi Deng's heart panic. At that time, Shi Deng's eyes were dark, and then, sparks appeared in front of his eyes, followed by dizziness and chest heat, and he felt a foreign body gushing out of his throat.

Shi Lantern hurriedly picked it up with his hands. He slowly looked at what he had vomited, ah, blood! The stone lamp immediately realized that he might be finished. So he muttered in his mouth: "Niu Chongtian, you won, my so-called master is a fake, he-he-is a snake-she-cultivation-cultivation......

Before the stone lamp could finish speaking, the man fell, and fell heavily to the ground.
