There was no problem with the dossier materials, and the four death row prisoners were personally interrogated.

Before dying, do one last question, what the hell is going on. If it is verified that it is comfortable, it will die without regrets, and if the judgment is wrong, it will be a matter of human life, and no one will be able to run away.

If the trial is not clear, black and white are reversed, the judgment is arbitrary, the case is wrong, and the wrong person is killed, then the judge should also go to hell, because the judge is for the tiger and aids the abuse, and such a judge is more dangerous and more sinful, and he should be sent to the eighteen layers of hell, and there will be no return.

Tang Lu as a supervisor, but also walking on thin ice, if the Gucheng County order is wrong, the supervisor should find the problem should be kept in time, if the problem is not found, it is not smart enough, there is no wisdom, the problem is found to be duty, correcting mistakes is diligent, if the prison is killed, no matter what you ask, eat and drink, people die, you can't live, and then pursue it, I'm afraid you killed the wrong person, this crime is not small.

Thinking of this, Tang Lu decided to ask the four death row inmates.

"Do you have any grievances, you can tell this official, this official is a prison officer, if you find a grievance, you can keep someone under the knife, continue the trial, and find out the facts of the case. If there is no grievance, you will be executed, and then you will be cast in the market, and there will be no one to clean it up, until the wild dogs will come and devour it. Say whatever you have to say. Tang Lu said.

The four of them all lowered their heads and didn't say a word, as if they were waiting for the first person to speak first, so they could go along with it. Shoot the first bird, this is the way most people protect themselves, that is to say, they would rather be a shrunken turtle to save their lives, than to be a bird out of the limelight and then die honorably. It takes a vigorous death to set off the ordinary life.

The four of them seemed to be begging for death, all of them were stubbornly resistant, their hearts were like ashes, and they had no hope of surviving, so they simply broke the jar and broke it.

Tang Lu frowned, there was nothing he could do, let him say a thousand words, the four of them just didn't say a word, which made people angry and worried.

The four death row inmates bowed their heads and said nothing, as if they were pondering something, or begging for a quick death. lest they be tormented, and it can be seen that they have suffered a great deal. But Tang Lu looked at them in the eyes, not like criminals, because all criminals, that eyes wandered, looked very cunning, the four of them were dull-eyed, honest, even thieves, they must have the courage of thieves, they must have thief eyes, they must have a thief's heart, and thieves do not go empty, some are mindful, some have water in their eyes, know goods, can grasp the key, can also hit the key point, not ordinary people.

The four of them have no characteristics of thieves at all, how can they be thieves? From the outside, it doesn't look like a thief.

Tang Lu saw that they just didn't speak, and he was anxious, because time waited for no one, and when it was time for the execution, it was too late to say anything, so he could only go to the king of Hades to tell his grievances.

Tang Lu said: "The sins you have committed, repeated crimes, the crimes are extremely evil, people are very hateful, you know, people's words are terrible, people's hearts can be punished, you are used to rampant in the countryside, stealing and robbing for a living, for the suffering party, people are deeply hated, eager to eat your flesh raw, drink your blood." If you don't speak, it won't affect the death penalty, if you don't say it, even if you acquiesce, the acquiescence is also this crime, then it's decided. Before the execution, try to say, don't hide anything you have to say, don't expect Lord Yama to listen to your explanation, every day Lord Yama is very busy, how can I have time to listen to you? You might as well say it now, as much as you can, otherwise it will be too late, and you can't say it if you want to, so you won't give it a chance to say it. You know, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the heads of the four of you will fall to the ground, and leave your body, and the four heads will be hung on the pillars for people to see. When the time comes, it's no wonder that the Governor didn't tell you about your rights. Tang Lu said.

The four of them still didn't speak, Tang Lu felt strange, these four people were too strange, they were so united! Don't even say a word, there is always someone to speak! Everyone is different, and the offensive and defensive alliance has never seen such an unbreakable one!

These four people are really rare unanimous in the world, what went wrong? It was really incomprehensible, seeing that the four of them didn't speak, Tang Lu was a little panicked, because they didn't speak, which proved that there must be a problem here.

Seeing that they were just stomping their feet, he understood that this was a desire to speak, but could not speak, and expressed it with his feet.

The four of them are just expressed by stomping, but what does stomping mean? What is this trying to convey?

They just stomped their feet, but their heads were down, and they still didn't speak. What a rush!

The hour has come, three o'clock in the afternoon!

The four were pushed by the servants, pushed to the execution table, to the executioner, stretched their necks and waited for the punishment, and when the time came, the executioner gave the order, and the executioner raised his knife and dropped it, and solved the problem very neatly.

If the head falls to the ground and wants to say more, it can't speak.

Unexpectedly, the four death row prisoners were pushed to the door, and one after another they collapsed to the ground, unable to move, turning around, staring at Tang Lu, as if they had something to say.

When Tang Lu saw it, he felt strange, and immediately ordered them to come back, wanting to interrogate them further.

By this time, their shackles had been removed.

At this time, they scrambled to say: "My lord, my lord, my lord, we are wronged, wronged!" Just now, the jailer pressed our throats with their flail tails so that we couldn't speak, so we couldn't answer the questions that adults asked us! So I was so anxious that I stomped my feet, but fortunately, the adults saw the situation and saw the problem, thank you, adults! ”

Tang Lu found that they wanted to speak and stopped, afraid that they had something to say, and they were worried that they would be heard by others, which would be unfavorable to them. So, Tang Lu asked them all to avoid it, and they all waited outside, obeying orders, and were not allowed to enter without permission.

The four death row inmates knelt down one after the other.

The mouth shouted: "Adult, adult, help, help!" ”

"Don't rush, take your time, speak slowly!" Tang Lu said.

The four of them slowly spoke out their grievances.

The four are pure scapegoats.

They were originally honest peasants, but when they went to the street to catch the market, they were suddenly caught by officers and soldiers, and said that they would go to the county government office to cooperate with the situation, and the four of them went to the county office, who knew that when they went to the county office, they walked through the public court, and they determined that the four were suspected of theft, and then they were detained, and the four were not allowed to come out, and they were shackled, and they were put on their throats with their tails, and they could not make a sound, so that the four of them could not speak, and let them go and do nonsense.

They took the advantage of the real four thieves, and got the silver, and of course they were to shield them, and put all the sins they had committed on the heads of the four peasants, and then the peasants surrounded them, and did not let the peasants go around, lest as soon as they moved, they would know where they were going, and it would be easy to leak secrets.

In this way, the four scapegoats are confirmed, as long as the head falls to the ground and there is no proof of death, the real thief is still happy and happy, and continues to do evil and harm the township, waiting for the people's grievances to rise, and then to investigate, and then deal with it. It will always pass.

With such a fluke mentality, it is no wonder that Gucheng County is mediocre, and it cannot be said to be mediocre, this is pretending to be confused, as long as you can get benefits.

To get the money of the four real thieves, of course, to catch the innocent four peasants who looked like thieves, to be arrested and beaten, forced to admit to the theft, and signed and detained, tortured to extract some confession materials, and wrote the case indiscriminately, which looked perfect, and the file was very perfect, it seemed that there was no leakage, and the top checked it down, it was the same, and it was flawless.

Four innocent peasants, forced to confess, became fake thieves, and the file was a real thief, sentenced to death. Tang Lu found that there were a lot of doubts about this problem, such as the tools of the crime, the location of the crime, the location of the stolen goods, and how the four of them divided the stolen goods? How to plan?

Tang Lu notified the state government of the case, and the state government saw that it was a case sent by Tang Lu, and attached great importance to it, and quickly filed the case for review and trial. As a result, the facts of the case were quickly clarified. The truth is what the four peasants said.

Tang Lu was very angry, and immediately released the four peasants and the four scapegoats, and gave a certain amount of compensation, forty taels of silver each, and these indemnities were paid from the fines of the four thieves, and the state treasury was not used.

The four thieves were quickly caught and refused to admit at first, but later, Tang Lu personally interrogated them, and before the punishment began, the four thieves all confessed to the theft.

The stolen property was all gold and silver from the place they said, and it was so dazzling that it was no wonder that the people were very angry, for it turned out that it was really a thief who committed many crimes and did many evils, and he must go to hell. When they are in style, they have long forgotten the retribution in the future.

After the theft was solved, it was followed by the bribery case.

Tang Lu did not stop, began to arrest and detain the people involved in the case one by one, and then interrogated them one by one, and soon found out, all the people involved in the case were arrested, according to the size of the official rank, as well as the amount of bribes, all of them were all arrested.

The yamen of Gucheng County is equivalent to a big purge, which is completely turned over.

Tang Lu reported the case to the imperial court, and the emperor was furious, and the Gucheng County Order was reduced to the people, and the others were assigned to the frontier, and they were not allowed to return when they died.

Four thieves were beheaded, their heads hung on wooden poles, and at four gates, one of which had a human head, and their bodies were abandoned in the city, and wild dogs tore and swallowed, and the people saw them, and cursed and spat on them.

All those who can find out who have lost them shall be returned, and all unclaimed property shall be returned to the treasury. In addition, the personal belongings of the four thieves were confiscated and compensated to the four peasants who were substituted.

The Gucheng County Commander was deposed, there was a vacancy, and the imperial court arranged for another person to fill the vacancy.

There is a pawnshop in Shihua Street, Gucheng, which is a century-old shop and is very famous, and people from Laohekou County come to pawn items in this pawnshop.

The pawnshop business is thriving because of its fair prices and good reputation, and it has won hearts and minds.

The pawnshop owner was also very kind.

Generally, customers who come to pawn are short of money and are anxious to use the money, so they will bring valuable items at home to the pawnshop, exchange the money, use it urgently, and wait for the economy to ease and the conditions improve, and then take the money to redeem the objects.

Doing these things, ordinary people can't hold their faces and feel ashamed. Ordinary people laugh at it, when they are poor, they are laughed at and looked down upon, and when they are rich, they are hated by others, and it is not good to be left and right.

You can see whether you are rich or not, whether you are poor or not, and you can also see that in the pawnshop, the boss behaves amiably and comfortably, so as not to have a psychological burden.

At noon one day, the scorching sun was scorching, and when I knew the chirping, my voice was hoarse, and the road was hot, and a drop of sweat fell to the ground and disappeared immediately.

There are few pedestrians on the road, as if they are all in the shade, and they have to sweat when they move, and they feel laborious to speak, because they also sweat when they talk.

At this time, it is the time when the business is light, and the birds do not want to come, because they are afraid that the wings will catch fire.

The guy in the pawnshop couldn't stay up, and after listening to the monotonous and repetitive calls, it was easier to fall asleep. Sure enough, the guy kept dozing off and fishing, as if he wanted to spice up dinner and improve the meal.

The guy didn't dare to fall asleep, he just closed his eyes and recuperated, because when dealing with money, there can be no ambiguity at all, and if there is a mistake, he will have to compensate.

In the midst of his coma, the man heard a burst of footsteps coming in from outside, as if in a dream, and immediately woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he turned out to be a rich merchant, who looked to be forty years away, and was richly dressed, like a rich man, but when he encountered difficulties for the time being, he came to pawn things.

It's not right, those who are really rich, they shouldn't need to pawn, those who come to pawn are probably going downhill, there is no money coming in, only those who go out don't come in, then it's troublesome. If you can't make ends meet, you will end up sitting on a mountain and becoming poor.

If there were, there would be no such problems.

When he came in, he took out of his pocket, two minas, one of which was very large, and two of which were even greater. These two big ingots of silver were heavy, and they were put on the counter, and there were two "knocks, knocks" sounds, which scared the drowsiness away, and there was no sleepiness.

"I urgently need money now, these are two ingots of silver, I need to pawn the money, pawn it here, and after redeeming the silver, I will come to redeem the silver soon, I don't know if it is possible?" The comer said.

When the guy looked at the silver, he was shocked, he had never seen such a big silver ingot.

These two ingots of silver are full of weight, and they are worth at least 100,000 yuan.

Such a large amount! It's the first time I've encountered it, and I don't dare to make a claim, so I go to ask the boss to set the price, and then decide whether to accept it.

The boss doesn't have to be responsible for the decisions he makes.

"Where did he come from?" The boss asked.

"I don't know, it looks like I'm dressed well, I don't look like a poor person." Said the guy.

"What did he say?"

"He said that he would hold it for a few days, pawn some money, and redeem it soon after." Said the guy.

"Then he didn't explicitly say how many days later he would redeem it?" The boss asked.

"He didn't say it explicitly."

"What else does he have but silver?"

"It's silver, and nothing else."

"He's coming alone?"

"Yes, I think he's alone?"

"It's no wonder that at this time, there are not many people on the street. You may be afraid of meeting acquaintances and being laughed at! Don't want others to know. This is understandable. ”

"Yes, boss, he looks confident, like he's coming to redeem soon."

"Then I'll take a look, everything must be cautious, be careful, it's not a big deal." The boss said.
