Volume 5 Jiangnan 480 Temple Chapter 526 Breakthrough (I)
Early in the morning of April 12, Sun Ning and Xiao Qian had already arrived in front of the Taishou Mansion in Hangzhou.
After returning from his new home for only one day's rest, he returned to business.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Yunlin Temple needed time to communicate with the local government, I am afraid that he would have found the yamen directly yesterday.
Yes, the day before yesterday in front of all the monks, Sun Ning's request was to hope that Yunlin Temple would come forward and explain to the Hangzhou government that Sun Ning would participate in the previous case of Tianmu Village bandits attacking monks.
Since there is no clue in Suzhou for the time being, Sun Ning decided to turn around and start from Hangzhou, and the Tianmu Village group of thieves who were taken down before is the most suitable target.
And these bandits were handed over to the Hangzhou government half a month ago, and now if they want to ask for more things from them, they naturally have to get the approval of the local officials.
Although Sun Ning had dealt with Master Taishou Zeng Xianzeng because of the Xie family's case, he was obviously not qualified enough to really talk to him and make requests, so he could only talk about it through Yunlin Temple.
And Yunlin Temple is worthy of being the first temple in Hangzhou, the Buddha is wide enough, only one day, the matter was negotiated, at this time Sun Ning in front of the Taishou Mansion to show his identity, was politely greeted by a scribe, and in the second hall of the side hall to see a regular clothes of the Taishou Lord.
After the two sides exchanged greetings for a while, Zeng Xiancai smiled and said: "I didn't expect that after a month, Yu Sun Gongzi has become the protector of Yunlin Temple, which is really gratifying." This time, you're here for the previous attack on the monks of Yunlin Temple, right? ”
The other party was so good, Sun Ning was naturally quite happy, and nodded: "That's right." After taking down this thief that day, because he was in a hurry, he only interrogated him a little, and after all, he still had some questions, so he thought about asking again this time.
"Please also make an exception for permission, this can be regarded as preventing the tragedy of Suzhou Hanshan Temple from appearing in Hangzhou again."
Zeng Xian was still smiling and nodding just now, but his face was condensed at this time: "What, have you heard something?" Is there really that thief who wants to make trouble in my Hangzhou? ”
When he said this, the wrinkles on his face deepened a little, and his body leaned towards Sun Ning, very concerned.
The tragedy in Hanshan Temple in Suzhou has been happening for more than a month, and the people have already added oil and vinegar to spread dozens of versions, and the Hangzhou government naturally knows a lot about the inside story and knows how much harm it causes.
If the same thing really happens, Hangzhou City will have to be in chaos, and the consequences will be too serious.
"Zeng Taishou doesn't have to be too nervous, this is just a little speculation, just because there is a connection between the cases on these two sides, so I thought that since the truth can no longer be found out from Suzhou, it is better to check it in Hangzhou."
At that moment, Sun Ning was patient again, and told what he knew about the connection between the Fa Destroying Society, the Flying Fish Dock, Tianmu Village, and the mysterious Mr. Gu, which made Zeng Taishou dizzy for a while.
There is no way, he has shown that he is not familiar with the judgment of criminal prison cases after all, and in the past, cases in Hangzhou and its surroundings were also handled by subordinate magistrates and others.
But unfortunately, the previous magistrate was a person who had a close relationship with the Xie family, and he was implicated and could only be dismissed.
If it was an ordinary small case inside and outside Hangzhou, Zeng Xian could still deal with it, but when the case became a serious case that might affect the overall situation of the entire Jiangnan, he had a headache.
After pondering for a long time, Zeng Xiancai coughed and said, "Since this is the case, then bring the criminals forward, and Sun Protector will interrogate them here to see what useful clues they can confess!" ”
"Thank you, Zeng Taishou." The other party agreed happily, and Sun Ning was also sure.
The situation in Hangzhou is indeed better than that in Suzhou, at least this Taishou does not have as many concerns as Yan Zhongjing, and he also has considerable real power.
Of course, this may not be a good thing for Sun Ning, at least in front of him, he can't follow Yan Taishou to directly reveal his identity and pull him for his own use.
After the meal, seven or eight handcuffs and shackles were complete, and the ragged guys were brought into the hall. They faltered and walked slowly, but they were always urged and pushed from behind, and from time to time they stumbled, looking embarrassed.
Among these people, Sun Ning recognized the two most critical characters at a glance - Ling Xiao, the big boss of Tianmu Village, and Feng Hui, the third master.
The two bandit leaders looked really haggard, their faces were messy, and their eyes were bloodshot.
"You two, we're meeting again." Sun Ning also greeted them with a smile, which made the two of them slightly stunned, and after carefully looking at Sun Ning for a while, they recognized him: "It's you ......" Obviously, their spirit and eyesight can't be compared with before.
Because of this, they couldn't control their expressions at this moment, revealing a trace of strangeness, and were quickly captured by Sun Ning.
"It seems that you didn't expect to see us in Hangzhou at all, right?" Sun Ning stared at their faces and eyes, and suddenly asked.
The two of them were shocked by what he thought in their hearts, and the frightened look on their faces couldn't be hidden.
"So, you know that we went all the way to Suzhou before, and we encountered not only you all the way, but also other people. You have concealed it that day, and you know that there is another accomplice, yes and no! Sun Ning asked again without hesitation, and everyone had already stood up, came to them, and asked condescendingly.
But in response to him, the silence of the two seemed to have made up their minds and refused to cooperate.
"Bold, until now, you two thieves still dare to be so presumptuous, I really don't know whether to live or die! Come! Zeng Xian immediately shouted loudly with a gloomy face.
He had already seen some clues from Sun Ning's words and the reactions of the two. It is more clear that what the two want to hide is very important, and it is naturally impossible to let them be silent.
With the order of Lord Taishou, a number of messengers had quickly stepped forward and held the two of them down, and the board fell on them without hesitation, making them snort miserably.
But this is obviously not enough, although the two of them are in pain, they don't have the slightest intention of explaining, and they even put on a face of "What can you do to me?" This completely angered Lord Taishou: "Come on, give me a heavy punishment, I don't believe that their mouths can be harder than the torture instrument!" ”
At this moment, Sun Ning suddenly opened his mouth to stop: "Slow down, adult!" ”
"Huh? What do you want to say, intercede for them? Zeng Xian frowned, a little dissatisfied and asked.
"Of course not, didn't the adults find out, they have already put life and death aside at this time, just using torture, it is impossible for them to change their minds." Sun Ning looked at the two thieves who gritted their teeth and sighed.
