Chapter 21: Youzhou
Tian Chao, 28 years old, a native of Pingzhou, Hebei Province, was sentenced to seven years of detention for the crime of thieves, and was transferred to Southern Wuzhou in March this year for a five-year term of service.
This is a simple flow sentence on the file, and I can't see too much. If it weren't for Liu Xuanji, I'm afraid it would be difficult for Gu Zuo to find a breakthrough in interrogating these three black-clothed people in such a short period of time.
Because Liu Xuanji had vaguely heard that there was a general Zuo Wuwei under the command of Fan Yang Jiedu, this person's surname was Tian Chenghei, who was from Pingzhou, Hebei. The Tian family is a big family in Pingzhou, and this Tian dynasty may be related to Tian Chenghei.
And Pingzhou is Lulong, and then contact the Lulong Hall in Montenegro County to be seized, and the situation will probably surface.
Gu Zuo remembered that when he first came to the Black Mountain Edict, Husi Zhong introduced him to three places to open the museum, the first one was the original Lulong Hall in the city, that is, the large courtyard that was used as a temporary agency by the Longquan Daoist Institute when Southern Wuzhou was bidding.
The Lulong Hall was closed because they wanted to buy unicorn breeds, and the Spirit Beast Department did not sell them, so they had the idea of stealing and put it into action, so they were expelled by Montenegro. This Tian Dynasty, judging from the fact that he has served two years in prison, should have been captured at that time.
Cheng Shanhu and Su San went to the small black house next to them to be interrogated one by one, and a miserable scream came from time to time, and Gu Zuo was not interested in watching from the sidelines, but this reminded him of the tiger chair he borrowed from the Fa Si when he was recruiting people by the Yuan River last year.
Now that he is also the lord of Nanwu Prefecture, the issue of law enforcement should also be put on the agenda. He inspected the courtyard again, and then said to the butcher: "Senior brother, how about using this place as the official office of the law department of Nanwu Prefecture in the future? ”
The butcher had nothing to do: "This place is a little remote from the main courtyard, it is indeed suitable, you can do whatever you want." ”
Gu Zuo said again: "If Senior Brother has time, just go to the Law Division and ask Chen Senjun, can their tiger chair be sold to us, and can try the case, and can inspect the cultivation, which is not bad." ”
Liu Xuanji was a little surprised: "Pavilion Master Gu wants to use the tiger chair to check the cultivation and recruit disciples?"
"yes, that's okay, you can try it when you buy it, it's accurate. ”
"This ...... Forget it, hehe. ”
"Speaking of which, Brother Liu can see at a glance that the three thieves are wearing Youzhou riding boots, and they have been to Youzhou before?"
"Yes, I've been there before. ”
chatted until midnight, and Cheng Shanhu and Su San got the confession.
"Recruited, Tian Chao, the second son of Tian Chenghei, the general of Zuo Wuwei, the head of the left Bandu of the Lu Long Army, and the captain of the Honored Cavalry, went to the county town of Montenegro two years ago, presided over the theft of unicorns, and was arrested by the law department. These three thieves were sent by Tian Chengsi to save people, and they lurked in Black Mountain County for more than a year without success, and this time they followed them to Southern Wu Prefecture. I was about to snatch people out tonight, but I didn't want to be broken by the Lingyuan Dao Chief. ”
After listening, Gu Zuo, the butcher, and Liu Xuanji were speechless, and Gu Zuo said angrily: "This Chen Hemp, isn't this harmful!"
Gu Zuo's first batch of prisoners were all minor offenders, but due to the shortage of labor, the restrictions were relaxed, and the sentence was agreed to be added to the list within seven years. Although Tian Chao is seven years old, he has a special status, how can he be sent to mine?
This is also that Gu Zuo is different from ordinary mine owners, he is more sympathetic to the miners, if he uses it according to other sects, after three or five years, the probability of Tian Chao's death is very high.
Several people got together and scrutinized it carefully, and they all felt that it was very likely that Chen Haozi was throwing off the burden. The unicorn is a high-quality war horse that the Spirit Beast Department has cultivated with great difficulty, and how much effort has it taken to send people to steal the horse breeds, which of course aroused the strong dissatisfaction of the Montenegrin edict, so they seized all the Lulong guild halls they set up, and the reaction was quite fierce, without any regard for the "friendship of the same dynasty."
However, there is really no "friendship with the same dynasty" at all, Lu Longjun and Montenegrin Zhao are similar in nature and status in the DPRK, and the jurisdiction of the political hall is relatively weak. The difference between the Lu Long Army is that the Lu Long Army is mainly military, and the Montenegrin edict is mainly civil. However, the edict of Montenegro was more detached, because he did not have to pay military salaries and official salaries from the imperial court, and specific government affairs were not interfered with by the imperial court. In addition, he is in the extreme south, so he doesn't have to pay attention to Lu Longjun at all.
Therefore, it is difficult for the court to say anything about the arrest of the high-ranking Tian Dynasty, after all, he was found to be a person with stolen goods, and the court has no way to force Montenegro to release him.
Judging from the interrogation confession, the Montenegrin Imperial Law Department was originally going to kill Tian Chao, but after Lu Longjun came forward to deter him to no avail, he spent a lot of money and asked Yang Xiang of the court to ask for help, and the sentence was changed to seven years.
Hearing this, Gu Zuo sighed: "Our Nanzhao is really hard enough. ”
Cheng Shanhu, as a "Nanzhao person", was very proud of Gu Zuo's comment, and said: "I heard that the prisoner just said that the king of Dongping said that Yang Xiang was not dedicated, Yang Xiang was furious about this, drew his sword and beheaded the case, saying that he wanted to ask the holy decree to send troops to the south, and he also turned against the king of Dongping. But that's just to say, without Chongxuan's nod, would he dare? Even if he comes, we won't be afraid!"
The butcher was thoughtful: "So, Chen Haozi still wants to kill Tian Chao, so he sent someone to us quietly, wanting to borrow our hand?"
Gu Zuo frowned and said: "The one who wants to kill Tian Chao the most should be the Spirit Beast Department, but it's almost the same, the eight divisions of Black Mountain must be one in the big picture." Anyway, what now? Everybody can help me come up with ideas...... Hey, where is Brother Liu going?"
Liu Xuanji turned around and said: "It's so confidential, it's not for me to hear it, you can talk about it, hehe." ”
Gu Zuo said: "Why are you and Wen, I was about to borrow Brother Liu, you are more familiar with the situation in the Northland than we are." ”
Liu Xuanji was helpless: "You just let me go, Gu Pavilion, I still feel that the affairs of the supermarket are more suitable for me." ”
The butcher suggested next to him: "In my opinion, Liu Daoyou is more suitable for going to the mine." ”
Liu Xuanji turned around when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Elder Tu said that he was laughing, haha...... They're all good friends, so I'll help come up with ideas. ”
Gu Zuo asked: "What do you say should be done? First of all, these three thieves, how to deal with them? They hurt people?"
Cheng Shanhu nodded: "They have confessed, they came in from the north entrance the day before yesterday, hid in a farmer's house, and both farmers were killed by them." ”
Gu Zuo sighed and said to Su San: "Go check it out and see which one it is?"
Seeing the butcher looking at him, Liu Xuanji hurriedly suggested: "Let's take the three people into custody first, and then carefully ask them about their origins to see if they have military positions, and find out if there are any accomplices and who to connect with, and then discuss it in the long run, what does Elder Tu mean?"
The butcher bowed: "Yes, it is recommended that Liu Daoyou participate in the questioning." ”
So Gu Zuo said to Cheng Shanhu: "Then Deacon Lao Cheng and Deacon Su will work hard, Liu Daoyou will also join the arraignment, and the three thieves are still being detained separately ......."
Cheng Shanhu corrected: "Two." ”
Gu Zuoyi: "What two?"
Cheng Shanhu said: "The one who was seriously injured died." His confession was different from the other two, so he killed. ”
Gu Zuo was suddenly in a bad mood, this is really killing, are you so decisive Dean Cheng?
Liu Xuanji asked curiously: "Which confession is inconsistent?"
Cheng Shanhu said: "When I asked them where they were from, the two said they were from Pingzhou, but the one who was seriously injured said they were from Fanyang." ”
Gu Zuo was speechless, and Liu Xuanji moved two steps to the side, away from Chengshan Tiger.
