Chapter 496 Suspect

Liu Zhang and the others came to the cell where Qi Ertie was being held, and he was lying on the hay in the cell.

The conditions in the cells were harsh, and there were many people held here.

They didn't shout, they saw someone coming, and they saw that the person who walked in front was not of low status.

"Qi Ertie, Ming Fujun has something to ask you."

Guo Huai stood outside the cell door and shouted Qi Ertie, and then asked the jailer to open the cell door.

Qi Ertie saw a young man standing outside the old gate, and he looked noble.

"I've asked everything that should be asked, wasn't it sentenced a few days ago, and what is there to ask now."

Qi Ertie has nothing to say, it is impossible to retract his confession, unless he still wants to be punished.

He was disappointed in the officials, who just wanted to close the case as soon as possible.

"Qi Ertie, I am the Taishou of this county. Your wife met me, and she avenged me. ”

Liu Zhang walked into the cell, where hay was spread on the ground and the cell was dimly lit.

"I've pleaded guilty, don't interrogate me."

Qi Ertie felt sorry for his wife and children, and sorry for his parents.

What if you don't admit your guilt, in the end, you won't be beaten into a trick.

"If you feel wronged, you can speak up. I know you've suffered, and I'll look into this case. ”

Liu Zhang believes that an innocent person cannot be wronged, nor can a bad person be spared.

Committing suicide is a felony, and Qi Ertie will not admit it at first.

He knew the consequences of confessing his guilt, but he was helpless.

"If someone frames you and you are wronged, I will do justice to you. You know, I'm the Taishou of Wuwei County. ”

Liu Zhang said this to make him understand that he was the most powerful in Wuwei County.

If these officials are interested in helping those who break the law, Liu Zhang will punish them severely.

He is not afraid of those officials, they do not manage the place well.

but they want to oppress the people, and this will not be tolerated.

"I wasn't wronged, it was me who took revenge on them, and I have nothing to say."

Qi Ertie didn't believe Liu Jia's words, thinking that his behavior was just a formality.

He must be some aristocratic kid who wants to establish a good image in front of people.

Liu Zhang guessed that the other party might be afraid of suffering more, as long as he left.

Some officials will show a sinister face, and these people are already helpless in a foreign land.

Some officials had grievances in their hearts, and they did not want to come to the Han border to take up posts.

But they can't help them, they have to worry about the Hun invasion every day.

They felt that the people were easy to bully, and the people did not dare to resist.

You must know that the Han Dynasty is now strong, even if these people gather to rebel.

They can't beat the local army either, and these officials are measured.

If you oppress a few people, you won't make a big mess.

"You know that committing suicide is a capital offense, don't you want to plead for yourself? Still don't believe me? ”

It is understandable that the other party does not believe him, he was deceived by those people.

Anyway, he had already been sentenced to death, and he didn't want to suffer any more crimes.

"I've read your file, how many doubts are there in the file? Don't think I'm just putting on a show, I know what you're worried about. ”

Qi Ertie wanted to retract his confession, but he was afraid that the county order would order his subordinates to execute him.

These people can be ruthless, if the young man in front of him is really too guarded.

But he is too young, and he is at least in his thirties to become a county guard.

Seeing that he was less than twenty years old, he spoke very calmly.

"I'll say it again, I'm the Taishou of Wuwei County. What grievances do you have? Just speak out. ”

Qi Ertie was still reluctant to say that he was afraid that those people would retaliate against his family.

Liu Zhang also guessed his concerns, and if he didn't say it, he could only investigate it from other aspects.

"Ming Fujun, Qi Ertie is definitely not wronged, and he doesn't dare to lie in front of you."

The county lieutenant Shangguan Chong glanced at Qi Ertie, it was unlikely that he wanted to retract his confession.

Although this is a case of suicide, there are too many people involved.

"Since he doesn't say it, then interrogate the others. Bring those men over later, and I'll interrogate them myself. ”

Since this kind of thing happened to him, he couldn't sit idly by.

Qi Ertie saw that he was resolute, and he might have hope to be acquitted.

No matter what Liu Zhang said to him, he just didn't want to retract his confession.

He was really afraid that those people would take revenge on his family, and it didn't matter if he died alone.

I only hope that his son will grow up safely, and maybe he will have the opportunity to become an official in the future.

There was a chance to avenge him, but he was reluctant to tell Liu Zhang.

Maybe he is well-intentioned, but he is still inexperienced after all.

The other officials present were all older than him, and they were very cunning.

They will also do some superficial work to fool Liu Zhang over.

Liu Zhang saw that he didn't speak, so he had to turn around and leave the cell.

Later, the villagers will be arrested and interrogated in person.

A small cattle killing case involves too many people.

If some officials are dismissed, Liu Zhang will not shield them.

After a long time, the villagers who had clashed with Qi Ertie before were brought over.

There were seven people from five villages.

There were many villagers involved in the conflict, and only a few of them were brought as representatives.

"Just a few of them had a conflict with Qi Ertie, didn't the other villagers participate?"

Liu Zhang obviously didn't believe it, so he asked them about the situation at that time first.

On the other hand, Liu Zhang sent a simulation robot to investigate secretly.

It's still a little more reliable, it seems that the officials of this county have colluded with the local family.

They deceived their superiors and subordinates, and if Liu Zhang was allowed to find evidence, they must be severely punished.

"The cattle in your village were killed, and you suspect who did it?"

"Back to the Ming Mansion, it's Qi Ertie. He had a grudge against our village and killed the cattle in our village when he was a child. ”

Liu Zhang looked at them to see if they dared to lie.

"Presumably you know my identity, and I will investigate this case. If you lie, you will be punished severely. ”

Are they afraid of the local officials, or are they afraid of him?

"It was Qi Ertie who killed the ploughing cattle in our village at night, I heard that he admitted it."

A middle-aged man has no confidence to speak, he has only heard.

In fact, he didn't know who the real murderer was, so he could only say that Qi Ertie was unlucky.

These people don't care who the killer is, they just want to get compensation.

"Are you sure it's him? Don't lie. ”

Liu Zhang didn't believe what they said, and these people were also suspicious.

The person who killed the cattle must be in Cangsong County, and this person may have a close relationship with the local officials.

This is a matter of human life, and it is too hasty for these officials to judge the case.

They are also for personal performance in order to close the case early.

"We are telling the truth, Qi Ertie is kind on the surface, but he is actually misbehaved."

A young man thought that the person who killed the ploughing cattle was Qi Ertie, and he was still a little weak when he said this.

"You are talking nonsense, he didn't kill the ploughing cattle at all, do you dare to swear to the sky?"

Midoriya was very angry, even though Ertie had a holiday with them, they couldn't talk nonsense.

After a while, the android robot brought a middle-aged man.

He looks thin and tall, and he has a goatee.

This person's name is Niu Gao, a person from Niujia Village, and he has a festival with Qi Ertie.

This person named Niu Gao is still very powerful in the local area, and the simulated robot investigated and learned it.

Niu Gao once molested Green Valley and forced Qi Ertie to transfer his wife to him.

Then he is the most suspicious of killing ploughing cattle, and Niu Gao has a good relationship with some officials.

Some officials privately accepted favors from him, waiting for Qi Ertie to be executed.

Green Valley will become his concubine, and the artificial robot will take him to Liu Zhang.

"What's your name? Who is it now? ”

"The humble position is the husband of the barberry incense, and the humble position has seen the Ming Mansion Jun."

The husband was the official who managed the foreign land, and was responsible for the litigation and collection of taxes in the village.

Although he is not an official, he has a lot of power at the local level.

He was well-known in the countryside and familiar with various county officials.

"Do you know why I asked people to bring you here?"

"Ming Fujun, he once teased me, and he wants me to be his concubine."

Green Valley was angry and scared when he saw the cow lamb, if it wasn't for Liu Zhang's arrival.

It is possible that he will be possessed by Niu Gao, and she guesses that the killing of the ploughing cow has something to do with him.

"Is that the case?"

Liu Zhang felt that it was very likely that Green Valley said, and the county didn't care.

The officials in the countryside are equivalent to the emperor of the soil, and these people have no way to sue.

These officials in the county town also counted on these officials in the villages to control the people, and they were familiar with the local situation after all.

They are also very prestigious, and Liu Zhang will not torture Niu Gao.

"Let him drink this and tell him what he knows."

Liu Zhang took out a bottle of spitting truth potion, asked him to drink it, and said anything he asked.

That also saved a lot of trouble, and the other people present didn't know what the potion Liu Zhang was using was for.

"May I ask Mingfujun, what does this do?"

"Don't worry, it's not poisonous, you'll know later."

The android robot took the potion and asked him to drink it.

Let everyone present listen to it, and maybe the truth of the case of killing the ploughing cattle will be revealed.

Let the wronged be acquitted, and let the guilty be punished.
