Three days later, the arraignment continued.

Jin Shan knew that Bao Fa's skin was thick, Jiang Yang was a thief, his body was good, his skin was rough and his flesh was thick, and he would not die or be crippled if he hit forty boards. Arraignment is still possible.

He ordered Bao Fa to be brought to court and interrogated.

Sure enough, he recovered quickly, it seems that the blow was light, Jin Shan thought to himself, He asked, "Bao Fa, are you guilty?" ”

Bao Fa took a look, this Jin Shan is too ruthless, he may have found out something, and he needs to test it again. So he replied, "Tell the lord, what is the sin of the villain?" ”

When Jin Shan heard this, a nameless anger "soared" and rose suddenly. He picked up the shocking wood, "snap-" and slapped it on the case, and shouted: "Bold thief! How dare you question this official! ”

It didn't matter if he patted it, Bao Fa immediately softened, like mud, and fell to the ground, and after a while, he relieved himself, got up crookedly, and asked: "Adult, the little one is guilty!" ”

"Tell the truth, Shuli, you can listen to it, remember it carefully." Jin Shan said.

His commands worked, and those who spoke and those who remembered were very serious. As long as Jin Shan is powerful, no one is not afraid, this Bao Fa, but Jiang Yang, the leader of the bandits, has a lot of experience, and he was also defeated by Jin Shan.

He has long heard about Jin Shan, but he has not seen the case in person, and it is not simple to see this situation today, and it can be seen that the level is very high.

"Adult, the little one is really poor when he was a child, there is no way out, he is angry everywhere, he grazes cattle to the landlord, the cow is thin, he is whipped by the landlord, he can't eat, he can't wear warm, he can't be a monk, he didn't expect to be a monk, he didn't expect that the monk is not good, it's too bitter, there is no meat to eat, no wine to drink, so he went to the tea shop to find a job, and he didn't work long, I could only watch others drink tea and drink, I could only watch, and I was also scolded by the boss, and then left the restaurant and tea shop, and there was no place to go, I couldn't suffer, I couldn't stand the grievances, I wanted to live a whimsical life, and I didn't want others to be controlled. Think about it, or to be a thief, this industry is a little more risky, but there is a risk in doing anything, at least you can do whatever you want, you can steal if you don't have it, you can play by yourself, save money by yourself, just to have something to eat in the future. Bao said.

"Don't talk nonsense, your poverty is not the reason for you to be a thief, it seems that you were forced to be a thief, why so many poor people did not become a thief

？ It's not because you're lazy? Jin Shan asked.

"Adults, the small ones are lazy and lazy, and if they are diligent, they may not be rich. You see, some people have worked hard all their lives, planted the land all their lives, they are still poor, hard work does not necessarily mean to get rich, it depends on whether there are people, there are people in the court who are good officials, and when they are officials, they don't need to plow the land, they don't have to worry about money, as long as they have power, they have money. Power and money are inseparable. Some people desperately grab power, that is, they see the role of power, and with power, they can do a lot of things they want to do. Generally speaking, as long as you have the power, you will not fail to achieve the purpose. Bao said.

"What are you talking about all this nonsense?"

"Be sharp, tell me what you've done. Don't leave it out, be careful. Jin Shan said.

"The little one is to make a living on the boat and not to go anywhere else. On the waterway, you can clean up the scene immediately after doing it, leaving no traces, and you can't find and solve the case. Bao said.

Bao Fa told the cases he had committed over the years one by one. The book was under the record, and the hands trembled unconsciously.

Jin Shan was also surprised, dumbfounded, this murderous demon king actually downplayed the murder, and he was not ashamed to kill a person, and he didn't seem to regret it at all, what kind of person is this?

Kneeling in the hall is the killer demon king, this guy regards other people's lives as grass mustard, as ants, killing a person is like crushing an ant to death, he doesn't pay attention to life at all, no wonder he has money, more and more money belongs to the devil, the devil gives him money, let him kill, equivalent to a professional killer hired by the devil. This guy is not dead, heaven is intolerable, fortunately he did not enter the official mansion, if he arrives at the official mansion, I don't know how many people will be harmed under such a banner under this name.

Bao Fa never expected to be planted in Jin Shan's hands, he originally wanted to get close to the county government to seek a half-official position, who would have thought that he would find out the secret. I never expected that Jin Shan knew so much, knew the origin of calligraphy and painting, and knew the value of calligraphy and painting.

In order to confirm this idea, Bao Fa asked: "Adult, the little one doesn't understand something, and I don't know if you want to teach me?" ”

"Say!"

Jin Shan said angrily, feeling disgusted when he looked at this murderous maniac. I didn't expect him to be humble enough to ask for advice.

"How did adults find out about the problem?"

"It's very simple, you are full of calligraphy and paintings in the big living room, it seems that you are a vassal and elegant, and you want to be a real gentleman, but your skills are not good, your cultivation is not reached, your speech, behavior, and behavior are not in line with that of a gentleman, if you want to become a Sven person, you have to speak Sven and do Sven things, but you are not like a scholar everywhere, and you have no gentlemanly demeanor, just like a Jiangyang thief, that kind of gangsterism cannot be concealed, this official has experienced many cases, and there are not a few appointments. It's just that he didn't say it, and the official continued to observe and confirm his judgment. Jin Shan said.

"Dare to ask what did you find?" Bao asked.

"You keep saying that you bought calligraphy and painting with money, and said that you are very familiar with the author of calligraphy and painting, one of the calligraphy and paintings, is the Tang Dynasty wild grass, you said that it cost two thousand two silver to buy, in fact, this word is the real handiwork of Huaisu monk, the market price is worth ten thousand taels of silver, from here it can be seen that Huaisu monk's words, you can buy two thousand two silver, it can be seen that you will cross, can go to the Tang Dynasty to buy calligraphy and painting, from this detail you can see that you are lying, inferred that you must be clever to get the calligraphy and painting, not to spend money to buy." Jin Shan said.

"Your Excellency! Small admiration. Little admiration! It seems that Sven people are not in vain, they still have to learn, and they must continue to improve in order to pretend to be. The small one is not suitable for being an official or a squire, and the small one is suitable for being a Jiangyang thief, this one is the most suitable. Where to know so much! I only know that calligraphy and painting are valuable, but I don't know that they are so valuable. You must know that the wild grass of Monk Huaisu is so valuable, and he doesn't hang it out if he says anything, he blames the little ignorance, ignorance is incompetence, incompetence is shamelessness, shamelessness is ridiculous, ridiculous shows flaws, is recognized by adults, really loses big because of small, loses big because of small. Bao said.

"Don't come to the sycophants, isn't forty boards enough?" Jin Shan asked.

"Don't, don't, don't, my lord, don't hit the board at every turn, that's really not what people can bear, it's too uncomfortable, it's going to take most of your life! The small one is curiosity, what else is there besides these details? What do adults find in their small homes? Bao asked.

"There's a woman in your family." Jin Shan said.

"Not just one, the younger one has eighteen wives and concubines." Bao spoke.

"You can do it! A poor man can't marry a woman, but you have married eighteen. Jin Shan said.

"This is fate, a wife equals wealth, wealth equals a wife, and where there is property, there is a woman, and if there is a woman, there is money."

"What is this theory?"

"That's it, women can bring wealth, the reason why rich people are rich is because there are more women, more women, bring more and greater wealth, those poor people are so poor because there is no woman to help, they feed the whole family and are not hungry, there is no pursuit, there is no ideal, thinking about women all day long, that is, not to struggle, not to fight, first find women, and then you will find wealth. Many people don't understand this truth. I am a Jiangyang thief, I know best, I have seen a lot, there are several women in the family of rich people, the more women, the more wealth, this is true. Bao said.

"According to what you say, the reason why those Qing officials have no money is also related to women?"

"That's right. That's true! ”

"If the rich man dies, will those women fight for the inheritance?"

"It's hard to say, as long as it's not handled well, there will be a fight." Bao Fa said.

"How's that arrangement?"

"It's to make a will, divide the property clearly, and there will be no fighting. If there is a will, even if you fight a lawsuit, you can't win it. Bao Fa said.

"That makes a lot of sense. You are very smart, but it's a pity that you became a robber, if you don't become a robber, you can go to the county office to arrest quickly. Jin Shan said.

"The little one has wanted to be a fast catcher since he was a child, doing things for the government, majestic, he has a good reputation, and he has money to spend, you know, at that time, eating a full stomach is the biggest wish. There are few officials who starve to death, and those who starve to death are the people, I don't want to live an ordinary life, I want to be an official, eat well, and say it well, why don't I go to be an official, even if I can't be an official, it's worth it to run errands for the official. is also stronger than ordinary people, and can show off in front of ordinary people, how enjoyable is that! Seeing the officials on the street sitting in a sedan chair, I couldn't help but look twice, and then look at the servants who sounded the gong and opened the way, it was also enviable, the clothes were uniforms, not torn, intact, and the image was very good, just look at myself, even if I have a lot of money a month, what is the use? Bao said.

"That's what you're talking about. So, tell me, you have married eighteen wives and concubines, what are you going to do? Jin Shan asked.

"The little one knew that he was going to die, and he guessed how to die. After the death of the younger one, the eighteen wives and concubines were dissolved, and as for the settlement fee, it was not up to the small one to decide. However, the little one wants to mention that the little lady has followed the little one since she was a child, and her family has been harmed by the little one, and in the past eighteen years, when I saw her, I gave up the idea of continuing to do evil, because she was too kind, too simple, and the little one was not human, and took everything from her, her father and family, her father's property, and killed her father and family, and the little one was really bad! For her, the little one begged the adults to take extra care of her, in addition to returning her father's calligraphy and paintings, and giving her some settling-in pay or severance pay. Her eighteen years of youth have been ruined by a small one, and if there is a good family in the second half of her life, I implore the adults to make arrangements for her. The small ones are lonely souls and wild ghosts, so they can rest assured. Bao said.

"Don't worry about this, the official will make proper arrangements, the official wants to know, how do you want to die? We respect your choice. If it's reasonable, the official will consider it, and if it's unreasonable, then it's up to you! Jin Shan said.

"The dying man is also good at his words, and the little one who listens to what a scholar says, and remembers, the little one has never read, but he is very envious of those who read, they can read and break sentences, they are rich in knowledge, and they can solve many problems. Now, the little one pleaded that if he died, he would have a good time, and the little one was willing to donate all the books to the academy. For students to borrow, so as not to buy new ones. Bao said.

"That's a good offer! Permission of the Officer. Anything else? ”

"Come and be happy, just strangle! Or arrange a sharp-eyed and quick-handed executioner to kill with a single sword. Don't drag the mud and water, the little ones are grateful. Bao said.

"I'm afraid it depends on whether the people agree or not. If they say yes, do as you say, if not, there's no way. You have to suffer a little more. There is nothing the official can do. Besides, the circumstances of the execution must be reported to the imperial court, and if it is light, the higher authorities will blame it, and the official can not afford it. Isn't that the way you are? Jin Shan asked.

"I understand what you mean, that is, I will definitely die, I know this, and the specific way of execution depends on the opinion of the people, that is, how the masses want me to die, I have to die, right?" Bao asked.

"Yes, that's what it means. Because you have been a Jiangyang thief for many years, there are countless victims, and you should understand the feelings of the victims' families, otherwise, the county government will be in danger, and the angry victims will say that this official is shielding you, and once it reaches the emperor, I am afraid that this official's head will not be saved. To be on the safe side, it's better to ask their opinions. Jin Shan said.

"I knew I was going to die, but I just didn't know how to die. If I was allowed to commit suicide, I would have killed myself, but I was in chains and could not kill myself. Besides, if you keep a strict watch over me, you won't have a chance to kill yourself. I deserve to die, I just don't know when to die and how to die. Bao said.

"You don't have to worry about this, the official will naturally arrange it properly. Do you still have a murder case in your hands? Jin Shan asked.

"Yes, there are about one hundred and eight people who were killed, and they were all thrown into the Gyeonghu, either into the Han River and into the sea, or they sank to the bottom of the lake and fed the fish and turtles. So, there was no corpse to be seen. Bao Fa said.

"How do you remember so clearly?"

"The younger one was very interested in eighteen, and at the age of eighteen he began to kill the first person. He married eighteen wives and concubines. I married my first lady eighteen years ago, and I had one hundred and eighteen houses, nine thousand one hundred and eighteen pounds of gold, one hundred and eighteen pairs of agate and jade, eighteen night pearls, and I remember that there were 108,818 books in the collection, and 18 large diamonds. I gave the rest to the brothers. Just bring the number eight. Bao said.

"Oh, I see! No wonder you always say that you have money, never say where the money comes from, always say that you have a good relationship with the owner of calligraphy and painting, never say the value of calligraphy and painting, it seems that you still know and don't know, but you are okay with the brothers. So, how are your brethren now? Jin Shan asked.
