Chapter 47: Arrest
"Heroes spare their lives! Heroes spare their lives! It's all him! He instructed us to make trouble at your restaurant! The two younger brothers knelt on the ground and said.
Zeng Hao didn't listen, and slapped them twice: "Did I let you speak?" ”
The two younger brothers covered their faces and suddenly didn't dare to speak again.
"What about the others?" Zeng Hao asked Wang Hu again.
Wang Hu confessed all the hooligans who made trouble in the restaurant that day.
So such a scene was staged in Yanggu County that day: Zeng Hao led a group of menacing officials to arrest people everywhere.
In the gambling house.
Two men who were gambling were suddenly pushed to the ground, and Zeng Hao walked up to them and asked condescendingly, "Are you called Wu Nian and Zhu Rong?" ”
The two men nodded in horror.
"You two are suspected of killing Ximen Qing, the richest man in this county, and now I will bring you back to Yamen for questioning, this is an arrest warrant."
"Wronged! How could we ......"
Zeng Hao kicked the two men in the face: "Have I allowed you to speak?" Take! ”
In the green building.
Zeng Hao walked in with a large number of officials.
When the bustard saw this scene, he immediately stepped forward with a smile and asked, "I don't know what happened to the adults?" ”
"We have received reliable information that the murderer of Ximenqing is hiding with you." Zeng Hao said lightly in his voice.
The old bustard was frightened: "My lord is wronged, our Yichun Courtyard is legally operated, and we will never dare to do such a thing as harboring murderers!" ”
"Do I have the final say, or do you have the final say?" Zeng Hao glanced at her.
The old bustard suddenly became timid, shrunk his neck and said, "Big, adults have the final say." ”
"Here are the names of those people, find them for me." Zeng Hao handed a piece of paper to the bustard.
The old bustard did not dare to slack off, and immediately called the handyman to find someone.
Soon, six men were brought to Zeng Hao.
"My lord, the people you're looking for are here." The old bustard said.
One of the men didn't know what was going on, and asked Zeng Hao: "I don't know if the adults are looking for us......"
"When I didn't tell you to speak, you'd better shut up for me, I don't have a good temper with you scoundrels." Zeng Hao glanced at the man coldly.
The man did not dare to speak again.
"Take them all away."
Seeing that the official came up to torture him, one of the six people immediately said loudly: "I didn't commit a crime, why did you arrest me!" ”
Zeng Hao gave Wu Song a look, Wu Song nodded, and then went up to punch the person who made the sound.
The man was powerless to fight back, and was directly knocked to the ground, and then dragged away by the officials.
Seeing this, the other five people no longer dared to resist, and were obediently taken away.
Next is the teahouse, Goolan, Washe and other places, Zeng Hao according to the address explained by Wang Hu, led the officials to arrest one by one, and soon caught all the 21 hooligans who went to the restaurant to make trouble that day and brought them back to the yamen.
in court.
Twenty-one hooligans were connected to Wang Hu, a total of twenty-two people knelt on the ground, and in front of them was Li Zhixian, who was sitting precariously.
Zeng Hao sat with Erlang's legs crossed, and the official even brought him a small tea table with snacks and tea on it.
The Yamen Charge Si came to Zeng Hao's side and asked in a low voice: "Master Wu, my lord asked me to ask you, can you open a court to try the case?" ”
Zeng Hao took a sip of tea, then nodded.
Li Zhixian was shocked at this time, and said to Wang Hu kneeling below with a cold face: "Wang Hu, do you know why you were arrested here?" ”
"My lord, I have been wronged! He said that I killed Simon, and I had no grievances with Simon, how could I kill him! Wang Hu pointed at Zeng Haodao.
Zeng Hao stepped forward and folded back the finger that Wang Hu was pointing at him, and Wang Hu suddenly let out a miserable scream.
"Didn't your mom teach you not to point your finger at others?" Zeng Hao said in a cold voice.
"Look, my lord! He beats people in the court! ”
"What if I hit you?!" Zeng Hao fought harder and harder.
The surrounding officials and Li Zhixian pretended not to see it, only Wang Hu's screams echoed in the court.
When Zeng Hao was tired and sat back in his seat, Li Zhixian said to Wang Hu: "Wang Hu, you led someone to rob and kill Ximenqing, the richest man in this county, in the middle of the night, the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to explain?" ”
"Wronged! My lord, I have been wronged! Wang Hu's nose and blue face were swollen and crawled in front of Li Zhixian, and shouted loudly, "The night Ximen Qing died, I have been at Widow Xu's house next door, she can testify to me, I can't have time to kill Ximen Qing at all, I am really wronged!" ”
Li Zhixian snorted coldly: "Now that the human and material evidence are there, you still dare to quibble!" ”
"Impossible! I didn't even see Ximenqing's face that night, where did the human and physical evidence come from! ”
"You're still not convinced, right, come here, spread the two entourages who followed Ximenqing that night, and the four sedan chair drivers who carried the sedan chair."
The two attendants and the four palanquin bearers soon came to the public hall and said in unison: "I have seen my lord." ”
"The six of you should take a good look at it, was it this group of people in the court who robbed Ximenqing that night?" Li Zhixian said.
The six of them looked at Wang Hu and them for a while, and said, "That's right, my lord, it was this group of people who robbed us that night. ”
Immediately afterwards, another official came up with a bloodstained Pu knife and said to Li Zhixian: "My lord, after the appraisal of the Yamen, the knife found from Wang Hu's house is the murder weapon that killed the Ximen staff. ”
Wang Hu's eyes widened.
"My lord! They talk nonsense! They're slandering me! And you also made a complaint before, saying that the murderer was a bald man with a big waist and a thick waist, why did you suddenly change your words and say that it was us! Wang Hu shouted anxiously.
"Shut up!" Li Zhixian slapped the hall in shock, "Above the public court, how can you be noisy!" Come on, slap mouth twenty! ”
The two officials immediately stepped forward to hold down Wang Hu, and the other official took a wooden board and hit him twenty times in the mouth!
After the fight, Wang Hu's lips cracked, and even his front teeth were loose, even so, he kept shouting that he was wronged.
"Dare to make noise, it seems that if I don't give you some heavy punishment, you won't have a long memory!" Li Zhixian just wanted to give an order, but was stopped by Zeng Hao stretching out his hand.
Zeng Hao walked up to Wang Hu slowly, and watched Wang Hu repeat with his mouth full of blood: "I didn't kill Ximenqing, I was wronged; I didn't kill Ximenqing, I was wronged......"
"Tut-tut, that's pathetic." Zeng Hao squatted down, stretched out his hand to lift Wang Hu's chin, and let him look at him, "But there is a good saying, poor people must have their hate." ”
He leaned close to Wang Hu's ear and whispered: "Of course I know that Ximenqing was not killed by you, but I just want to force this charge on you, what can you do with me." ”
"It turns out that you want to harm Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu ripped you alive! ”
Wang Hu roared angrily and pounced on Zeng Hao.
