Chapter 008: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
And Xie Zhan's expression was expressionless.
Those dark and deep eyes don't seem to be really asking, nor are they like making threats like "If you dare to lie, then try the torture instruments of Dali Temple", as if those eyes are perceptive to everything, asking you is just a process, and it doesn't matter at all whether you say it or not.
The butler frowned slightly. This was the first time for him.
He tried to be calm and said, "Xiaomin didn't add. ”
Xie Zhan said: "Then explain what the bloody stick in Yunyu Villa is for?" ”
Explanation ······ What to explain? The steward became vigilant, and his heart turned upside down, and he lost his confidence. Could it be that there is something exposed?
He shook his head and said, "The stick that Xie Shaoqing said, Xiaomin doesn't know. ”
The action of his clenched fingers was fully watched by Xie Zhan, Xie Zhan raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said lightly: "You said just now that Zhang and Fu were introduced to the door by you." At that time, could the two of them have clubs? ”
This question could not be quibbled, and the people present at that time were not only his subordinates, but also countless officials, and the steward knew that this matter could not be denied, so he said honestly: "No." ”
"Really?" Xie Zhan said in a playful tone, "On the stick of Yunyu Villa, there is the blood of Zhang Fu and the others. Should it be used by Yu Hao, so that there can be? ”
The steward pondered for a moment, "Xu was caused by the two of them beating my family Langjun, and my family Langjun fought back, and then caused it. ”
Xie Zhan seemed to smile, "According to what you said, there were only three people present at the time of the incident. Do you think Yu Hao can beat the two of them alone? ”
Worst! said that they could beat it, but it can't explain that the two beat Yu Hao to stupidity, if they can't beat it, why did they have the blood of the two on the stick?
The steward's old face had begun to hold back, Xie Zhan kept knocking on the side, he was about to be wound in, he was up and down in his heart, remembering that Xie Zhan meant "perjury and strict punishment", he felt that the situation was serious, and he felt that it was wrong to say more.
His face was expressionless, "Xiaomin doesn't know." ”
"The steward can guess." Xie Zhan said.
Guess? How do you guess this? The steward doesn't believe it, this guess is just speculation, I'm afraid that this opening is the truth.
He shook his head and said, "Xiaomin really can't guess. ”
"Didn't you say that Yu Hao hugged his head and went out, and the first thing he said was, 'They beat me'?" Xie Zhan asked.
The steward immediately said, "That's what Lang Jun said. ”
"As far as this official knows, Yu Hao is athletic, and he often competes in martial arts with people in the villa, and he returns with great victories. With his skills, he is no longer a problem with one enemy and two enemies, why can he be injured by two people? Xie Zhan asked.
The steward retorted: "My family Langjun has never practiced martial arts, and if he can't beat the two of them, he will naturally be hurt by them." ”
As soon as his words fell, the air immediately froze, and the entire hall was silent, even the sneer on Xie Zhan's face seemed to have a sound, laughing loudly at him for his inconsistencies.
The steward suddenly sobered up. Xie Shaoqing's purpose was originally here, and as soon as he was not careful, he was tricked out, it's over, it's over, it's over......
Xie Zhan half-narrowed his eyes, and his voice was neither high nor low: "That's not what you said." You say you don't know. ”
The steward no longer wants to pretend to be confused, but if he doesn't pretend to be confused, he can't do it, and now he is riding a tiger.
He rolled his adam's apple and said with difficulty: "Fang Cai Xiaomin was nervous and didn't remember. ”
"Presumptuous! Inconsistencies, lying in front of the court! Xie Zhan raised his voice, and the realm party slammed on the table again, staring at him with perceptive eyes.
The steward shivered, Xie Shaoqing's appearance was too intimidating, and his legs were uncontrollably weak.
Before he could deny it, Xie Zhan asked again: "Why are you lying?" ”
The steward was a little flustered and said: "Xiao, Xiaomin didn't lie, I really didn't remember that Lang Jun didn't know martial arts." ”
Xie Zhan slapped the boundary again, and said in a loud voice: "Above the Fa Hall, how can you allow yourself to turn yourself upside down and go back on your word? The official saw that you didn't cry when you didn't see the coffin, and now you will be tortured three times according to the law! Come! ”
"In!" The servants on both sides of the lobby who did not squint responded in unison, and the sound was like a bell, and the eardrums of the stewards swelled with shock.
Torture means torture. And this Xie Shaoqing is a well-known cool official in Jiankang City.
Thinking of this, the steward was terrified. He never thought that he was just here to be a witness, but now he was treated as a defendant, and even retorted: "Xie Shaoqing Mingjian! Xiaomin is just a witness, they are the defendants! ”
Xie Zhan said: "According to the law of Daliang, prisoners who are seriously ill below the crime of answering and caning can also be released on medical parole, and then decided according to the law after they recover from their illness, not to mention that the crimes of the two of them have not yet been decided. Since Yunyu Villa has disabled people, they need to be retried after they have recovered from their illness. Today, the Yu family is also the defendant, and since you went to the Dharma Hall on behalf of him and retracted your confession on the spot, you were tortured first. ”
The Yu family is the defendant, what does it have to do with his district stewardship?
The Yu family is powerful and powerful in the court, and there are ways to get out. He is different, he is just an insignificant little minion, he really took this sin for Yu Hao, and when he is in prison, who cares? Who can come to the rescue?
Thinking of this, he knelt down and begged for mercy when the two forces were trembling: "Xie Shaoqing Mingjian, Xiaomin must know everything!" ”
In the steward of Yunyu Villa, as well as the confessions of more than a dozen parties, the truth of the matter finally came out - consistent with what Zhang Changming and Fu Qian said before, the two were covered and beaten during their business trips, and the perpetrators not only watched coldly, but also illegally detained the two.
The witnesses and testimony were all complete, and Xie Zhan immediately issued a decree to send a messenger to arrest Yu Hao and convict him on the spot.
**
While everyone was waiting, looking at Fu Qian, who was sitting on the chair and couldn't stop throbbing, Fu Xuan, who was looking outside the hall, had red eyes again, was short of breath, and coughed nonstop.
After the ins and outs of the incident are all clear, the current actions of the Yu family, and the previous behavior of the family next to them, all kinds of things are strung together, and it is nothing more than - some people hate the new deal, hate every official who implements the new deal, and hate the most is the support of the family who proposed the new deal.
However, even if there are many people who hate the New Deal and hate supporting their families, this kind of thing cannot be put on the table, after all, the New Deal has been approved by Emperor Mu An before it can be implemented. On the bright side, everyone will never insist on disagreeing with the saint, and if they can easily express this disgust, they can only secretly exert some strength.
And now, it just so happens that there is such a family member as Fu Qian, who has worked hard to implement this policy of checking household registration.
Isn't it like sending fish and meat to the sword?
The anger they suppressed in their hearts can finally take the opportunity to vent, anyway, they are just five-grade petty officials, so what are they afraid of being disabled?
The family is just right, and he is used to make an example of him.
Fu Xuan couldn't help but tremble in her heart, of course she knew what this meant.
