Chapter 41: Guilt
The next day.
Jin Ge got up very early and made a small pot of tofu brain, and had breakfast with Meng Fei'er, Huguo Gong and others.
didn't take Meng Xiang with him, and went to the Dingguo Mansion alone.
Today, it was still the housekeeper Jin Fu who received him, and he was closed again.
Jin Ge came to the Zhenguo Mansion without stopping.
As Jin Ge expected.
The Zhenguo Mansion didn't pay any attention to him.
Jin Ge was not angry and came to Chang'an County.
At this time, Yang Tao walked in, poured him a bowl of hot tea, and said, "Jintou, Zhao's case has been closed." ”
Jin Ge frowned slightly, and looked at Yang Tao with a puzzled face.
Yang Tao said: "Yesterday, a thief came to the county office to surrender and admitted that he had burglarized the night before yesterday and took the money. ”
"Seeing that Zhao's appearance was outstanding, when he saw the color, when he used force on Zhao, he strangled her to death."
"In order to avoid being tracked down by the government, he made the illusion that Zhao hanged himself."
Jin Ge said: "Has Bao Tan been acquitted?" ”
"Hmm!" Yang Tao nodded.
"If a burglar doesn't turn himself in, can he be found with the ability of the county government?"
Yang Tao shook his head and said, "But this thief has fallen into the net!" ”
The purpose of this thief is very clear, that is, to clear the suspicion of Bao Tan.
Jin Ge thought for a while and said to Yang Tao: "Let's go to the prison and meet that thief!" ”
Yang Tao answered, and went straight to the prison with Jin Ge.
At this time, in the lobby of Chang'an County.
County Lieutenant Zhang couldn't help but say to the county commander Liu Jiang: "My lord, although Jin Ge has a lot of background, it is still a little troublesome to stay in the county office, so it is better to ......"
Liu Jiang glanced at him lightly and said, "Are you teaching the official to do things?" ”
County Lieutenant Zhang bowed down and said, "The lower officials don't dare." ”
Liu Jiang said lightly: "Now that he is your subordinate, you should pay more attention to yourself!" ”
"Yes! Be! Be! ……”
"Let's go down."
"The next official retired."
County Lieutenant Zhang's face was very ugly, and he hurriedly retreated.
Liu Jiang silently raised his head and looked at the hanging "Mirror Hanging" plaque, and a trace of unwillingness flashed from his eyes......
Soon, Jin Ge and the others went to prison.
An unpleasant rancid smell made Jin Ge can't help but cover his mouth and nose with his hands.
Yang Tao opened his mouth and said, "Jintou, you wait." ”
Jin Ge nodded.
Yang Tao whispered a few words to the two jailers next to him.
The two jailers nodded, and walked quickly to the depths of the prison.
It didn't take long for a man with shackles and shackles to be brought over.
Jin Ge looked straight at the man for a long time, and said, "You just saw the lust and strangled the prisoner of the Zhao family?" ”
"Exactly!" The man said with a nonchalant face.
Jin Ge's face was gloomy, and after walking around the man with his hands behind his back a few times, he said in a deep voice: "When did you go to Zhao's house?" ”
"About three watches!" The man replied.
Jin Ge looked at the man and asked coldly: "Although the Zhao family is the daughter of the pavilion, her appearance is not outstanding, where did she come from?" ”
The man said confidently: "The radish and cabbage have their own love, and I see that she is like Chang'e in the middle of the month!" ”
Jin Ge heard the man answer.
Burst out laughing.
Yang Tao was very clever, and he also laughed loudly with Jin Ge.
The jailer on the side, who didn't know why, saw Jin Ge laughing, and he couldn't stop laughing.
The more Jin Ge laughed, the louder he became.
Yang Tao began to cough because of his loud laughter.
"Ahem! Cough! ”
The man looked at the people laughing so loudly, and his face showed a panicked look.
Jin Ge smiled and pointed at the man and said: "Although the Zhao family has not been out of the cabinet, it is already thirty and four, a person is old and yellow, and the beard is Zhang Fei's master, you actually say that she is like Chang'e in the moon!" ”
"I wondered, the moon was so bright that day, did you see the Zhao family? Ha ha...... It's funny, it's so funny! ”
The jailer laughed dryly at first.
Hearing Jin Ge's description, he immediately burst out laughing.
Seeing this, the man's face was flushed, and he cursed in his heart.
"Damn Bao Tan, I thought what kind of mother's skin was worthy of him, but it turned out to be just a ...... Bah! ”
The man was a little disgusted when he thought about it, and spit on the ground!
Jin Ge suddenly stopped laughing and shouted, "You're lying! ”
The man argued with reason and said, "I don't! ”
"You don't?" Jin Ge stared at the man and said, "As far as I know, the men in the Zhao family's neighborhoods can't avoid her when they see her, how can you see her?" ”
When the man thought of a woman like Zhang Fei, he was cold all over his body, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Jin Ge continued: "In my opinion, after the Zhao family saw you, they wanted to fornicate with you, and if you swore to death, you would strangle him to death by mistake!" ”
As he spoke, Jin Ge looked at the man and shook his head, and sighed: "Hey! Poor yo! Actually, you don't have to die. ”
"Okay now, you admit that you have the intention to steal and kill, and it is Zhao Laohan's only daughter who killed, and it is certain that you will die according to the law of Daqian!"
"I just don't know if it's Ling Chi or beheaded!"
Yang Tao said: "Golden head, it's Ling Chi!" ”
The man was stunned, he thought it was just a beheading, but he didn't expect it to be Ling Chi!
Ling Chi is one of the most brutal forms of capital punishment.
During the execution, the prisoner was covered with a net, the flesh was cut off with a knife, and the prisoner was kept awake at all times.
It is said that it is necessary to cut enough 3,357 knives, torture enough for three days and three nights, and then give the prisoner a final knife and stab the criminal to death, in order to be considered a success.
This kind of torture shudders just by imagining it in my mind.
In fact, Ling Chi is generally only used for heinous felons, such as plotting rebellion, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and so on.
It is impossible to sentence an ordinary murderer to Ling Chi.
However, this prisoner obviously did not know this.
His face turned extremely pale, and his body trembled like chaff.
He is not afraid of death.
Because he was terminally ill and had few days to live, he died for others, and his family received a large sum of silver, which was already worth it to him.
However, there is a difference between death and death.
The person who came to him that day told him that the beheading was only a momentary thing, so fast that he didn't feel the pain at all.
That's why he came out to take the blame.
But who would have thought that now beheading has become Ling Chi!
The man's crotch was wet in a big way.
Seeing that this man was so unbearable, Jin Ge shook his head and turned around to leave.
The man hurriedly knelt on the ground, banged his head, and said loudly: "My lord, wronged, wronged, wronged, I will recruit anything!" ”
Jin Ge looked at him and asked, "Didn't you recruit them all, and what else did you confess?" ”
The man said again and again: "My lord, the woman who looks like Zhang Fei is just as you said, when she saw that I wanted to have an affair with me, I had no choice but to kill her by mistake!" ”
Jin Ge shook his head with a smile and said, "If you want to seek revenge on the county lord, I can't stop your case if I arrest you quickly!" ”
The man said: "I'm sorry for you, and I'll make cattle and horses for you in the next life to repay you." ”
Jin Ge looked embarrassed.
Yang Tao on the side stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Jintou, you can help him!" He blames poor ......."
Jin Ge nodded and said, "Okay! I'll help you once! ”
The man kept kowtowing and thanking him.
Jin Ge gave Yang Tao a look, Yang Tao would stay in the prison and watch this man, and he walked out of the prison slowly.
