The three of them were locked up, and the news spread quickly, it was really a good thing not to go out, and a bad thing to spread thousands of miles.

The family members of the Fan brothers came to visit the prison.

I won't let it in.

I stuffed the silver, but it didn't work.

The Fan brothers' family was in a hurry, so they asked the lady to help through the county lord's wife's maid, and begged the lady to be kind and go to meet the Fan brothers.

Madame's maid didn't want to help, but the Fan brothers' family and the maid's mother were distant relatives, and I don't know how they found out about this relationship, but in short, they let Madame know about it.

Mrs. usually doesn't ask Yin Jian about his official business, but this time she was moved by compassion, because the maid has followed Mrs. since she was a child, she is very sensible and diligent, she generally does not ask for help, and always pays silently.

Madame found Yin Jian and said, "Master, there is something to ask for." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Is the Fan brothers imprisoned in the county office?"

"What brother?"

"It's the Fan brothers."

"Madame mean Fan Jia and Fan Yi?"

"Master, these two are the Fan brothers."

"Oh yes, it's closed, is there anything wrong with ma'am?"

"Master, usually slaves and maids never ask about the master's official business, but this time I have to ask." Madame said.

"You're welcome. What the hell is going on? ”

"That is to say, the people who are now locked up in the county government are distant relatives of the slaves and maids, and they want to meet the Fan brothers, but they don't want to see them. You can't do it with money. It seems that the old man is well-governed, strict in discipline, and does not dare to accept bribes in all tolerances. Madame said.

"Madame has won awards. The family members of the Fan brothers wanted to see it, so they let them see it. Don't worry. Yin Jian said.

"Thank you, sir!"

"You're welcome, just go tell them." Yin Jian said.

"Yes, sir!" Madame said, and left.

The maid was overjoyed to know that the master had agreed to let them go and see.

At this moment, the status of the maid soared, and she was looked down upon a lot in the nest of relatives.

Here, Yin Jian arranged for them to closely monitor the activities of the prisoners.

The Fan brothers were very happy to see their family members visiting the prison.

"You find a way to go and see Monk Chejing, give him money, and let him take full responsibility." The Fan brothers instructed their families.

The family asked to see the monk Thojing.

The cell boss didn't do anything, and said, "You and Che Jing are not related to each other, so we can't meet them." ”

Fan's family said: "It is precisely because Che Jing has no one to care about him, he has no family and no friends, that we need to comfort and comfort him, let him confess his guilt as soon as possible, and conclude the case as soon as possible, which is very good for the county master, isn't it?" ”

When the cell boss heard this, he thought it made sense, and said that Yin Jian also agreed to the meeting, but he should pay attention to the monitoring. He said, "That makes sense, okay." Go ahead, not more than an hour. ”

With the permission of the cell boss, the Fan family was so happy that they felt like they were drifting when they walked, and when they arrived at the quiet cell, the jailer opened the chain door, and they entered, and the jailer locked the door again.

"Master Tho Jing!" The family said.

"Donor, what do you have to do?" After a quiet look, I didn't understand, a few female dependents came, I don't know who it was, and I thought I had gone peach blossom luck.

"You're welcome, Master Tho Jing. We are the family members of the Fan brothers, and we came to you today just to ask you a favor, I don't know if it is convenient? The Fan brothers asked.

"Convenient, convenient, of course. Excuse me, how can I help? Teru Jing asked.

"It is you who bear all the sins and let the Fan brothers clean and acquit. If you promise, you will be given a hundred taels of gold. The family members of the Fan brothers said.

"This, this, isn't it too little? You know, one hundred taels is not much, where is the truth of one hundred taels fishing for two people? Toru said quietly.

"Master Tho Jing! You are merciful! The monks have nothing to worry about, we are the family members of the Fan brothers, and when we see that you have the same fate, we come to see you and express our concern for you. You know, 100 taels of gold is very difficult for a small family like us, let alone 200 taels of gold. I brought a hundred taels today, and if I promised, I would give you this gold, and I will give it now, and I will never regret it. If you don't agree, the bridge will return to the bridge and the road will return, just when we come to the door, there is no loss, you continue to feed the whole family without hunger, and we will think about what to do next. I don't know if the mage has any ideas, if he changes his mind, it's still too late, the visiting time is limited, so we can't think too much, otherwise, we will be punished or expelled. The Fan brothers said.

"Okay, I promise to take it all, and all the responsibility is on me, but I will give this one hundred taels of gold now, and after the deed is done, I can give another fifty taels of gold, and I can't miss it again. These fifty taels of gold, when Fan Jia and Fan Yi go out, they will give it to me immediately. Otherwise, I will retract my confession, and they will have to come in again. Toru said quietly.

"Great! Master Tranquility! Let's just say it, here is a hundred taels of golden tickets, please put it away, and give the rest after the deed. The family members of the Fan brothers said.

Che Jing took the golden ticket, smiled happily, and left with a thousand thanks.

All this was clearly seen by the cell boss from the cat's eye in the next cell, and after sorting out the content of their conversation, he handed it over to Yin Jian.

"Yes, there's one last step to go." Yin Jian said.

Three days later, Yin Jian ascended to court to hear the case.

"Who is the one who kneels?" Yin Jian asked.

"Monk Tho Jing."

"Van Ga."

"Fan Yi."

"Che Jing, do you plead guilty?"

"Master, the little one confesses. Thefts are all small things. The Fan brothers have nothing to do with this case, they are small and confused, and want to take this opportunity to frame them, in fact, they are innocent, they were wronged, and Xiao regretted it. I hope that the old man will release them, they have not committed a crime, they have not participated in theft, they are all small things. Monk Chejing said.

"Che Jing, didn't you say that you and the two of them committed crimes together, divided the labor and cooperated, and then you came to share the spoils?" Yin Jian said.

"No, sir, they did not participate in the theft, they were wronged by the little one. I hope the old man will see it. Toru said quietly.

"Okay, Fan Jia, this official asks you, is what Che Jing said true?"

"Master, it's true, it's true, the little one is not involved in any criminal activities at all." Fan Jia said.

"Fan Yi, what about you?"

"The little ones are also wronged, Master Chejing is right." Fan Yiyan said.

"Fan Jia, Fan Yi, tell me, are you with Che Jing?" Yin Jian asked.

"It's not." The two said in unison.

They have long known that Yin Jian is the master of the blue sky, sympathetic to the people, caring for the people, and not casually using torture on criminal suspects, and scaring criminal suspects. But it's just a scare, not a real execution. The three of them had heard about the characteristics of Yin Jian's interrogation, so they were not afraid to use torture instruments.

As long as they insist on not admitting that they are in a gang, Fan Jia and Fan Yi will be fine as long as they do not admit to participating in the theft, because only Che Jing was at the scene of the crime, and Che Jing was arrested. The Fan brothers were not present.

Then, if the facts of the case cannot be ascertained, it will become an unsolved case.

If the evidence is insufficient, it is impossible to convict the guilty, and since they are not guilty, the Fan brothers must be released. Yin Jian fell into deep thought, and the public hall was instantly quiet, and even a drop of an embroidery needle could be heard.

"Master, master, no, the imperial historian is here. Wait in the study. Please go to the master, it is said to be related to this case. The golden dragon came in and said loudly.

"Okay, you go and arrange tea and snacks quickly, so that you can serve them, and the official will be there soon." Yin Jian said, "Master, please go together." Left and right, take a break for a while, go for a walk in the courtyard to rest, drink tea, and eat snacks. Yin Jian commanded.

After Yin Jian finished ordering, the public hall suddenly became empty, only the three suspects knelt on the ground, and when Yin Jian continued the trial, the other idle people had disappeared.

After Yin Jian left, the three of them were finally put in their stomachs. I was immediately much more relaxed.

The three of them looked at each other, and knew that the servants were resting in the courtyard outside, and that the three of them could not run, so they squeezed their eyebrows at each other, made some gestures, communicated with each other, and said what they really couldn't do. In general, it is still expressed in action.

Monk Chejing made a movement, that is, he slapped his buttocks with his hands, but the Fan brothers didn't understand, and asked in a low voice, "May I ask what this means?" ”

"That is to say, I will bear all the sins, the boards of the two of you, I will fight for you, if these dozens of boards can't kill me, as long as I get through, as long as I am alive, this level will be passed." Teru Jing said.

"That's right, Master Chejing, they definitely don't know that the Imperial History Special Messenger who came just now came to find the county magistrate, maybe for this matter. Because our family has already dotted the imperial history there, the imperial history is our fellow countrymen, through the introduction of others, we know the imperial history, for this case, we are willing to give up gold and silver to open up the relationship, now it is necessary to maintain the relationship with the imperial history, try to maintain a close relationship, otherwise it will be wasted. Fan Jia said.

"Yes, Master Tho Jing, it's up to you to take on it. After the deed is done, I will be grateful. Fan Yiyan said.

"It's fine, it's okay. It's all on me. You insist that you don't know me and that you are not involved in the crime of theft. As for me, I insist that I did it, and it has nothing to do with you, and if I keep saying this, there may be a turnaround. Anyway, I feed the whole family and don't go hungry. If it does not constitute a capital offense, there is no need to worry. Everything, it's possible. Not everything is impossible. Toru said quietly.

"Don't worry, Yushi is our person, don't be afraid of losing your head, theft is not a capital crime. As long as repentance is possible. It's just a matter of playing dozens of boards. Fan Jia said.

"Yes, yes, yes, we used a lot of money to buy off Lord Yushi, as long as he comes forward, the three of us can go out." Fan Yiyan said.

"Shhhh

Teru Jing made a gesture, meaning to be quieter.

The Fan brothers noticed that the servants were all resting and eating outside, some of them were very close to them, and some were a little farther away from them. However, the voice is still very clear.

At this time, the officials came back one after another, and after a while, Yin Jian came, walked to the back of the desk, patted the shocking wood, and said: "Che Jing, this official asks you, is it a crime of theft committed by you alone?" The Fan brothers didn't know, didn't participate, and didn't share the spoils, right? ”

"Yes." Teru replied.

"This official asks you one last time, Master Che Jing, may I ask that you alone committed this theft, not the Fan brothers and you. Isn't it? Yin Jian said.

"Yes, sir, this case is a small one, and it has nothing to do with the Fan brothers." Toru said quietly.

"Okay, great. Shuli, come out! Yin Jian said, the voice is relatively loud, which means that many people can hear it.

"Yes, sir!" A voice answered.

I only heard his voice, but I didn't see him, and after a while, the book slowly came out of the cloth around the table, and handed the written confession to Yin Jian. These confessions are what the three of them just said.

After Shuli came out of the cloth, he orally reported to Yin Jian what the three of them had just discussed.

When the three of them saw this formation, they immediately wilted. I couldn't speak anymore.

Yin Jian combined the investigation in the past few days and came to a conclusion, so there is no need to worry about it.

He asked the three suspects to sign their confessions.

The facts of the crimes committed by the three have been clarified. Then there is punishment according to the law.

Che Jing was beaten with eighty boards, and the gifts given by the Fan brothers' families were confiscated, which was equivalent to a stripe coming and going without concern, and was sent to the frontier to farm, where there was no wall, and there were no people in a radius of hundreds of miles. Even if it is to escape, it is more difficult than to ascend to the sky.

Van Jia was beaten forty boards, then fined him fifty taels of gold, and migrated thousands of miles away.

Fan Yi was beaten forty boards, fined one hundred taels of gold, and did not move. However, it is necessary to take care of the elderly and children in the family without any complaints, otherwise, the judgment must be revoked and a new judgment will be issued. It is equivalent to Fan Yi attaching importance to family affection.

One migrates, the other stays, which can be regarded as a comfort.

Seeing that his conspiracy was exposed, he had no choice but to confess his guilt.

The three of them colluded to confess, the plan went bankrupt, and everything went to zero, so they had to let Yin Jian fall.

"Che Jing, you behave well, maybe you will just come back in the future, some people say, Ye Luo returns to his roots, no matter where he goes, he will come back in the end." Yin Jian said.

"Thank you, sir! The old man is really the parent official of the people of Xiangyang! What a good officer! It's impressive. The poor monk is willing to reform well, strive to end his sentence as soon as possible, and then return to his hometown. In order to thank the master, the poor monk now provides a clue to the master, and asks the master to investigate and eradicate some bad guys. Toru said quietly.

"What's the matter? Please speak. Yin Jian said.

"There is a Qilin Temple in the west of Xiangyang City, and the lord will know it when he goes to see it, and it is best not to wear official uniforms. It's a very lively and interesting place. Toru said quietly.

"How interesting? Could it be that the temple is very effective? Yin Jian asked.

"So to speak. Ask the local people first, and then go to the temple to find out, and the lord will discover a shocking secret. Because the poor monk is a guilty body, it is inconvenient to say it clearly, I hope that the old man will solve this case, which will alarm the government and the opposition, this is a gift from the poor monk to the master, in order to express his gratitude to the master! Toru said quietly.

What is it? Yin Jian fell into deep thought.
