Chapter 40: Operation Thunder (Collect, Collect)
"Plead guilty or not?" Liu Xiu said coldly.
"Master, I was wronged, I killed her father, I was my slave... Not me. Wang Yan quibbled.
"Then why did you send someone to kill me?" Cui Ying gritted her silver teeth with hatred.
"It's none of my business, that's what Liang Xiancheng meant." Wang Yan quickly confessed to the county Cheng Liangfu.
Liang Fu's face changed greatly, and he was so angry that he pointed at Wang Yan's nose and scolded: "Dog teammate! ”
"Wronged, Wang Yan, this kid is full of feces, begging the master to make the decision for me." Liang Fu panicked and hurriedly kowtowed to Liu Xiu and begged for mercy.
"Tell me the truth about what you know, and let it be light." Zhu You said.
"This?" Liang Fu was a little hesitant, he was doing things behind Wang Yan's back, and he couldn't see the light no matter what.
If you want to confess, your black hat can't be saved, and at the same time, your life will not be guaranteed.
Keep your mouth shut, and pretend to be confused if you really can't do it.
"I'll tell you, if you dare to betray my master, your whole family will wait to collect the body." Wang Yan glared at Liang Fu viciously, seeing that he was hairy.
Liu Xiu angrily slapped the case: Shut up, master, I didn't ask you, say another half a word, and the punishment will be served.
When Wang Yan heard this, he immediately became honest and relieved, the taste of this ancient torture is not comfortable, if you can't stand it, you don't say anything, and you have to shed your skin if you don't die.
The punishment that is notorious, such as the ancient heavy punishment of cannon branding, cooking, and the dismemberment of the corpse of five horses, etc., lightly pinching the fingers, whipping, cane punishment, etc., is just as gruesome as torture.
"Liang Xiancheng, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, I didn't want to embarrass you, but if you insist on doing this, it will be difficult for me to do it." Liu Xiu continued to enlighten.
Liang Fu was in his final dying throes, and he knew that once he let go, he and Wang Yan would be finished.
"Give you a chance not to fight for it, it's your own gain. Huang Quan and the other three came to the court. Zhu You snorted.
After a while, three men in black were brought up.
"It's the three of you?" Liang Fu knew that he was finished, and sat down on the ground in shock.
"You are the one who killed the dog officer, and our head is dead. My brothers have to have three long and two short, and they won't let you go if they are ghosts. Huang Quan and the other three scolded loudly.
As he spoke, he threw the murderous knife on the ground, and everything was so pale in front of the evidence.
"There are all human and physical evidence, aren't you still recruiting?" Liu Xiu has completely lost his patience and is ready to use the big punishment.
Liang Fu saw that the torture instruments had come up, how severe the punishment was in this yazhong, he knew, no one could bear it, rather than suffering in vain, it was better to confess as soon as possible and avoid the pain of flesh and skin.
"I'll move..." When Liang Fu said this, he was like a deflated ball, and the whole person became listless.
It turned out that Wang Yan went back that day, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and after a few days, he called a group of evil slaves to go to the restaurant to find fault, Boss Zhang argued a few words, annoyed Wang Yan and the house slaves, and was abused and beaten, probably because the attack was too heavy, and he really beat the person to death.
This scene happened to be seen by Boss Zhang's daughter Cui Ying, Cui Ying was frightened and hurriedly fled for her life.
Wang Yan knew that he was in trouble, found Liang Fu, the county prince, and sent boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and promised to be a high-ranking official, Liang Fu couldn't resist the temptation, so he got on the thief ship.
At that time, several officials were called and asked to dress up as men in black to intercept and kill Cuiying, who went to Wancheng to join her relatives.
Just as he was about to kill people, he met Liu Xiu...
The facts are clear, the evidence is conclusive, and Liang Fu, Wang Yan and others cannot quibble.
Liu Xiuyi was shocked: The truth of the matter came out, even though Wang Yan had injured the owner of the restaurant Zhang, he had hurt his life even more, and he had colluded with Liang Fu of the county to kill Zhang Cuiying, which was a great crime. left and right, immediately put these two people on death row, waiting for the fate.
Liu Xiu said awe-inspiringly.
Unexpectedly, a case involved officials from top to bottom, which strengthened Liu Xiu's determination to completely rectify the rule of officials, and the primary task of rectifying the rule of officials is to cultivate their own people, such as Zhu You, Ren Guang, etc.
After all the county officials, county lieutenants, and chief bookkeepers were wiped out, Liu Xiu let Zhu You serve as the county clerk and chief bookkeeper, and Ren Guang as the county lieutenant and school captain.
......
After Wang Yan was imprisoned, he was quite unwilling, so he bribed the guards and asked him to go to the Dingguo Mansion to move the rescue soldiers.
When Wang Kuang, the Duke of Dingguo, learned that Wang Yan was arrested and imprisoned, and was about to be beheaded, he came to the county government in anger and wanted to give Liu Xiu a horse.
Coincidentally, Liu Xiu was not in the yazhong, and there was no one waiting left and right, so Wang Kuang was closed.
Therefore, he was very angry, so he turned to Wang Feng, the prince of Chengguo, and the two decided to mobilize soldiers and horses to rob the prison.
A team of green forest soldiers, led by Cheng Dan and Zhang Wei, quickly occupied the county government and released Wang Yan and others who were still on death row.
When Liu Xiu received this information, he was accompanied by Ren Guang to inspect the newly formed fire team.
"I'm so daring, dare to rob and criminalize, and the sons and daughters will follow me to ask for an explanation." Liu Xiu was very angry, and the consequences were serious.
The Musket Squad was established not long ago, and the number was not large, only about 200 people, but each person had a gun, and its deterrent and lethality were amazing!
"The bow and crossbow battalion obeys my orders and sets off with me!" Under Ren Guang's order, the 1,000-strong Zhuge Lian crossbow battalion was dispatched, and the two new-style troops converged into a torrent, driving towards the county government and surrounding a small place.
The two teams confronted each other, and the situation was very tense.
"Uncle Liu Wen, you despise Shangguan, what crime should you commit in the following crimes?" Zhang Wei shouted.
"Which green onion are you, do you have your share in speaking?" Liu Xiu retorted.
"You!" Zhang Wei was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Hugh is the benefit of tongues, Uncle Liu Wen, let me ask you, why did you wantonly arrest the minister?" Wang Kuang, as a respected veteran of the first dynasty, thought that his words carried a lot of weight, and Liu Xiu would give him face.
"Why? Your person's name is Wang Yan, right? Liu Xiu asked rhetorically.
"So what?" Wang Kuang said disapprerovingly.
"Shouldn't your relatives be arrested if they kill civilians and kill people?" Liu Xiu incarnated as a professional and angry, seeing who scolded whom.
"Which eye do you have to see Yan'er..."Before Wang Kuang finished speaking, Liu Xiu rushed to say: "I have seen it with all eyes." ”
"You!" Wang Kuang actually couldn't talk about the young Liu Xiu, which was called an embarrassment.
"Even if you are guilty, why should you arrest people as a small county official? Lao Tzu, I Zhang Wei is the chief officer in charge of criminal affairs, what crime should you be guilty of acting beyond your authority? "Zhang Wei was deflated just now, and now he wants to get back to the field.
After Wang Chang became a general, the post of court lieutenant became vacant, and Zhang Wei replaced him.
Zhang Wei is proud of his identity, and he is Liu Xiu's superior, Liu Xiu's arrest of people without going through him, the court captain, is arbitrary, there is nothing wrong with this.
