Chapter 48: Trial of Harm and Disorder of the People (2)
"Brother," Ma Wuden knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, "There is still a mother to take care of at home, not to mention that the nephew is still young, and the sister-in-law may not be able to make ends meet alone, why should you bother with one or two trivial matters?" β
Seeing his younger brother like this, Ma Si couldn't help but feel a little moved, and his eyes flashed.
Ma Wu wiped away his tears and looked at him with a pair of red and swollen eyes: "Big brother, look at it, what did they beat you into......"
"If you're afraid, go back......" Ma Si endured his grief and gritted his teeth and said.
Ma Wu hurriedly held his hands: "Brother, if you admit your mistake, they will lock you up for three or five days." They didn't care about Jiang Patrol's face? The foolish brother didn't think it would be too fierce. Wei Shuban also said that those things are inconclusive, and this is obviously going to let you go. Taoguang is obscure, you don't have to hit a nail to be a hero. β
Ma Si is not hard-hearted, thinking of the poor wife and children at home, and afraid that the younger brother in front of him will also be imprisoned because of himself, after all, he can't bear it.
He struggled for a long time, then looked up to the sky and sighed, patted his brother's hand and said, "I figured it out." For the sake of our Ma family, my upright temperament has to be accepted. There's no way, just ...... Let's take a look at it. β
"Big brother!" Ma Wu saw that his brother finally relented, grabbed Ma Si's clothes, hugged each other and cried.
"Are you willing to come out?" Wei Chong walked lightly to the door of the room, and when he saw Ma Wu, who was scarred, he walked out with slow steps.
"My lord's face is for my brother's sake," the horse catcher's tone was still full of anger, "who wants to bow down to something inferior to you?!" β
"You!" The cell leader hurriedly picked up the water and fire stick and looked at Wei Chong beside him.
"No need," Wei Chong snatched the stick from the cell boss, "since he has promised to speak, it will be a good thing, and if he beats people to death carefully, it will really be a great disaster." β
"Come on, take a seat!" He turned his head and commanded.
Oriental whitish. Wei Chong jumped out of the car, hurriedly stepped into the yamen, put his hands behind his back, and carried the confession of Ma Si, which had a bright red handprint on it.
As he walked, the confession was handed into the hands of another, and he crossed a threshold, closed the door, and the light darkened.
Wei Chong dusted off his clothes and sat crookedly on the Taishi's chair, waiting for the question of this confidant scribe.
The scribe looked up and down, smacked his lips, frowned and asked: "Wei Shuban, this stubborn donkey doesn't recruit anything, you see what he said, 'Ma has never been corrupt or bribed, nor is he good at making friends, and the common people are even more nonsense', what kind of confession is this?" It's hard to convict like this, why are you so confused? β
Wei Chong smiled confidently and took the confession: "Although he doesn't admit these things, we can ask someone to fabricate the charges; We asked and asked, you see, just waiting for him to say, 'But I am willing to stay in the number room for a while and accept the examination of the government'. In this way, I can do whatever I want. This horse is four, and his brain is also missing a tendon......"
"Or is it Wei Shu's clever ......" the scribe laughed, "what crime do you want to sentence him?" β
Wei Chong made no secret of it, revealing a hideous and terrifying face: "I want him dead!" β
"Dead?" The scribe's face turned white, "These sins are not enough to be beheaded." You won't ......"
"I'm going to let his head fall to the ground in a dignified manner," Wei Chong immediately interrupted his thoughts, "Why aren't the charges enough?" Isn't it the sin of gathering parties individually? Well, if we add a dozen or more than 30 people, and say that he 'gathers the party very much just for a small official, and is harmful to the national body, and he must be punished deeply,' then the capital crime may be discussed. β
The little official suddenly came to his senses, clapped his hands and said, "It seems that Ma Si is definitely going to die!" Master Wei, you teach me how to do it, no matter what the sword mountain and the sea of fire, I will do my best to serve! β
Wei Chong closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair tiredly: "I've been very busy all night, and I haven't had a day off for a long time." Let me lie down for a while, and it won't be too late until the evening. β
"Then you can rest for a while, and then exit first." The little officer stood on tiptoe carefully, turned and went out of the house, and closed the door gently.
Nanjing seemed to be going to have a smooth day, but the dull banging sound made something lurking stir. The first to be woken up was Wei Chong, who was lying in the room. He quickly opened his eyes wide, looked around, lifted the quilt on the spot, looked for the fire in the dark, lit the fire, and looked at the chiming clock in the cornerβyes, a shift.
"Hu Shangshu!"
The lights in the palace lit up almost instantly, as if they were welcoming the only rare visitor to come. Hudge pushed open the door to the ministry's office, and the rare guest was already shouting as he approached.
"Hu Shangshu," Wei Chong hastily said, "Please transfer some soldiers from the palace and put them under my command for the time being." β
"What are you doing with it?" Hudge knew that the matter was urgent, and he spoke quickly.
Wei Chong shook his hand anxiously: "Hu Shangshu, this is not the time to hesitate!" I need to get Ma Si's party members to make a big sin for him! β
Seeing him so anxious, Hu Qi nodded helplessly: "Okay, transfer two hundred people, how about the bookstore?" β
"Enough!" Wei Chong clenched his fists tightly.
Two hundred people lined up and left Miyagi in unison. Wei Chong now had a working army, and he proudly summoned everyone and spoke in an impassioned tone: "Ladies and gentlemen, Ma Si, the most vicious criminal, is still not brought to justice, and we need to find out all the accomplices. Because of the wide range of forces in this Ma Si, Nanjing will be in danger, so there is no time to delay, you must understand! first went to the inspection department to arrest Mao, and then went to the barracks to find Cai Shu, and ...... A total of four people, they must be captured! β
Jiang Tian heard the barking of dogs in the wild. The dog barked for half an hour, just like he was in now. Although the people were asleep and the night was silent, the moon was obscured by thick dark clouds. He looked up at the sky, and Wei Chong's footsteps were getting closer.
"Son of a bitch, open the door!" The leading soldier walked up to the front and kicked the door a few times with his foot.
"Who?" Jiang Tian was in the courtyard, and he was a spirit.
The soldier got out of the way and ordered Wei Chong to come forward: "I listen to this voice, it's Jiang Inspector, right?" Wei Chong, I only came to investigate the matter of horse hunting, and I have no other intentions, please rest assured. β
"You have captured the horse trapper," Inspector Jiang saw that his subordinate officers and soldiers were woken up by a knock on the door, and they all gradually walked into the courtyard, "I'm afraid there is nothing to investigate." β
"Jiang Patrol! It's not that I don't give face," Wei Chong's tone became more and more stern, "There are really accomplices in this division!" β
"Wanwang Wei Shuban don't beat around the bush and say your name!" Jiang Tian's eyes widened angrily, and the two sides suddenly turned against each other.
Wei Chong coughed a few times and said slowly: "Mao catches quickly." You have this person, right? β
Jiang Inspector looked at the brothers behind him, and his anger was difficult to suppress.
