Chapter 80: Heaven Doesn't Hide Traitors
After receiving the order of the county magistrate, it didn't take three moments of work, Han Yi and his party finally rushed to the bank of the Lingyu River. At this time, it was still early, whether it was a boat carrying passengers, or a boat fishing, they were all busy and kept coming and going, but there was no trace of the thief couple, Tian Honggeng scratched his head with his hand, and said in surprise: "Strange thing? In the tide, I have always seen the two of them mooring the boat here, but why is it missing now? Could it be that today, the two of them did not get out of the boat?"
"Hmph, in my opinion, he must have committed a crime, and he was afraid of the punishment of the criminal law, so he fled overnight, hateful!" Han Yizhi shook his head, angry.
Anger is hatred, and people still have to look for it. Han Yi instructed the officials who came with him to divide into four teams and go to Sixiali to find out the whereabouts of the thieves.
The work paid off, and finally found a valuable clue from the old fisherman who had passed the sixtieth year °C Weng Chao Han Yi said: "This couple is the villagers of Honghugou in Longhua County, only thirty miles away from the Lingyu River, and they fled from the southern Fujian area a few years ago.
In the evening of the day before yesterday, after the little old man finished work, when he was about to go home, he saw with his own eyes that the Lu family and his family, for some reason, scuttled their fishing boat to the bottom of the river for no reason, and never came here again. ”
Han Yi pondered it carefully, and exclaimed: "It's not good! Could it be that the thieves want to escape from Longhua County from now on?"
It only took less than two moments of work, Han Yi and his party finally rushed to Honghugou, first came to see the village chief, and explained to the village chief the reason for coming here in a hurry, the village chief was surprised, did not dare to slack off a little, personally led Han Yi and his party, and rushed straight to the door of Lu Zhaofa's house.
When he came to the head of Lu's house, he saw that the courtyard door was closed, but it was not locked, and he pushed it gently, but he couldn't open it at all, and attached his ear to the door, and faintly heard the voice of someone in the courtyard, and knew that there was someone at home. Han Yi felt a little relaxed in his heart, but unceremoniously, he stepped forward and "knock knock" is three punches.
The work was not big, the courtyard door flashed open, and it was Lu Zhaofa himself who came to open the door, and when he looked up and saw the official messenger in the yamen rushing to the door of the house, Lu Zhaofa trembled in his heart, his expression was extremely panicked, and he trembled: "No...... I don't know the official ...... The official is here...... Come to our ...... Let's get here...... What the hell is ...... What is the ...... On business?"
As soon as Han Yi saw his momentum, he was already very clear in his heart, and couldn't help but smile, and said: "Lu Xianggong, as the so-called Ming people don't do dark things, what did you do a few days ago, you must be very clear in your heart, don't let us say it clearly!"
"Obey!" The two officials quickly stepped forward and handcuffed Lu Zhaofa with all hands and feet, and the other two officials rushed directly into the house and dragged Lu's wife out of the house, also handcuffed and stopped, Dongfang Yulian was furious, and said: "You robbers, you don't talk about the principles of heaven, and we didn't kill anyone, why did you lock up the two of us?"
"Yes!" Lu Zhaofa then shouted: "The two of us didn't steal, didn't rob, and never killed anyone, why did you lock people?
"Wang Fa, when you husband and wife are doing evil, can you still have Wang Fa's in your eyes?" Han Yi broke off drinking, and the yacha moved together, dragging the Lu family and his wife straight out of the door, the two thieves only felt that their arms hurt, and they were almost not pulled off, Dongfang Yulian simply sat on the ground with a buttocks, splashing and rolling, and the wolf howled. And Lu Zhaofa was even more rampant, like a mad dog, kicking and biting the yacha.
Han Yi was so angry that his face was flushed, and he scolded: "The thief is so bold!
"For no reason, relying on power, you insist on arresting the good little people and putting them in prison, what kind of family are you from, bullshit!" Lu Zhaofa snorted, and simply sat down, refusing to get up again.
When the two sides were at a stalemate, they saw two officials search for an object from the house, and when the two thieves saw it, they were immediately dumbfounded and panicked.
It turned out that what the yacha searched out was the tin-foil-wrapped mahogany box that Cui Wei carried, but all the items contained in the box had long since disappeared and his whereabouts were unknown. Han Yi took it, overjoyed, and asked him and his wife, "Where did this thing come from?
Lu Zhaofa looked flustered, his eyes flickered, and he thought: "What's a strange thing? I was obviously hiding it very hidden, why was it so easy to be found?" still refused to admit it, and quibbled: "This, this should be my own thing, what is in it, what do you have to do with it!"
"That's right, there is an empty box in the room, what kind of royal law is it violating?" Dongfang Yulian quibbled.
"Hmph! What a shameless thief! So far, you two still want to sophistry? Didn't the two of you say that you want to talk about the king's law, that's good! When you get to the court, let's talk about it! Take it away!"
After rushing back to the county office, Feng Zhixian summoned the third class of officials to serve on duty, and immediately went to the court to ask about the case and sent the thief.
"Wei ...... Wu ......"
The third class of officials stood on both sides, waiting for the county magistrate to be promoted to ask questions. After shouting Tang Wei, Feng Zhixian fell into the main seat, straightened his clothes, patted the shocked wood, and shouted: "Come on! Quickly bring the thief Lu Zhaofa and the thief woman Dongfang Yulian to the hall!"
"The county magistrate has issued an order, quickly bring the thief Lu Zhaofa, and the thief wife Dongfang Yulian to the court!"
The station hall sent an order, and Han Yi personally escorted the two thieves to the court to answer the interrogation.
Came to the lobby, and knelt down in front of the hall, Feng Zhixian looked at the couple with his eyes, but saw that the man was born with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, and his face was crossed, and Nirvana was very vicious.
He was shocked and shouted: "The bold thieves Lu Zhaofa and Dongfang Yulian, you two are not going to tell the county in detail about the crime of murdering Cui Wei, a native of Hongbo County, Ningzhou Prefecture, and robbing his property on the fishing boat of the Lingyu River a few days ago!"
Lu Zhaofa still refused to admit his guilt, and repeatedly quibbled: "My husband and wife, I really don't know what they have committed, and they were locked in the county government hall by the county government official for no reason.
"Hmph! What a sharp mouth, but even now, he is still reluctant, trying to get away with it? If this county does not come up with real evidence, it will be difficult for you two to be convinced!" He took the mahogany lacquer box that the search would have taken out, and asked the two thieves: "If this thing is really the original thing of the two of you, then you must know the original appearance of the lacquer box wrapped in tin foil, and you must not hesitate to report it quickly!"
"This ......" The two thieves have never opened the tin foil, how can they know, they are dumbfounded, and they just don't know.
Feng Zhixian snorted lightly and said, "You two don't know, but someone knows!" Then he shouted: "Come on! Quickly spread the people of Hongbo County, Ningzhou Prefecture, and Cui Wei, the bitter master, went to the court!"
As soon as they heard Cui Wei's name, the Lu family and his wife were shocked, and secretly thought to themselves: "Strange? Cui Wei's guy has obviously drowned in the Ling Yu River, how could he come to the public court? Could it be that this guy has a big life and has not really died, so he came to the county government to sue the two of us?" Thinking of this, the thief only felt a chill on his back.
Let's say that at this moment, Cui Wei was waiting for the summons in the back hall, and when he heard the movement, he immediately walked out, walked to the front of the hall, pointed to the ground with both knees, bowed and said: "Little Cui Wei, I have seen the county magistrate!"
Seeing that it was really Cui Wei, the Lu family couple was dumbfounded, frightened, trembling, and muttered vigorously: "It's over, it's over, it's all over now!"
Feng Zhixian nodded slightly and said, "Cui Wei, Cui Xianggong! This county came to ask you, do you know the person kneeling behind you?"
Cui Wei was angry in his heart, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and replied upward: "If you go back to the adult, Xiao Ke will know! It was this pair of thieves who turned Xiao Ke over and tied him with ropes, and then threw them into the water of the Lingyu River. ”
"You...... You are talking nonsense!" Lu Zhaofa pointed his finger at Cui Wei and shouted tremblingly: "I don't know you at all, let alone see you." ”
"That's right, I haven't seen you at all, so why do you want to lie to a good person?"
"Damn! I'll kill you two beasts who are not as good as pigs and dogs!" Cui Wei was so angry that his eyes were red, and he didn't care that he was still in the court at the moment, and pounced on the two thieves.
"Bold Cui Wei! Above the county court, how can you be so presumptuous!"
"Obey!" The two yacha quickly stepped forward to execute" Hearing a burst of oops, Cui Wei knelt down in the hall with a "bang", kowtowed and confessed: "The villain is guilty, and I hope that the adults will calm their anger and forgive one or two!"
"Above the court, if you dare to act recklessly, this county will never spare it!" "Bang", once again slap the shocking wood.
"It's ......!" Cui Wei nodded again and again: "Villain, remember, don't dare again!"
"Hmm!" Feng Zhixian nodded slightly, and asked again: "Cui Wei, this county is here to ask you, do you know the original face of this tin foil-wrapped lacquer box?"
"Go back to the adults to ask, the villain knows!"
"Very good!" said in shock: "In front of the county, come quickly and truthfully!"
"Yes!" Cui Weibo replied without hesitation: "Under the tin foil, there is a mahogany lacquer box three feet seven inches long, three feet two inches wide, and two feet high, which is carved with the pattern of auspicious clouds of the Nine Dragons, and is engraved with five small characters of 'Wine Utensils and Utensils' ‰ Adults inspect them one by one!"
When the two thieves heard it clearly, they were surprised, and their bodies trembled like chaff.
Feng Zhixian ordered the public craftsmen to peel off the tin foil and check them one by one, and sure enough, it was not different from what Cui Wei said, and shouted: "Bold thief, do you still have something to say now?"
"Your Excellency has wronged you!" Based on this alone, how can he conclude that this box originally belonged to him?" Lu Zhaofa still denied it.
Feng Zhixian angrily fought the bull, slapped the shocked wood, and shouted: "What a tricky man, he still dares to deny it until now! Come on! Drag it down and take the forty boards!"
"Obey!" the two officials stepped forward to carry out the execution, and when they heard that the thief had been beaten to death, the sound of wailing was incessant!
After the cane was applied, it was still dragged up to the hall, and the "Goo Dong" was thrown under the hall, only to see that Lu Zhaofa was beaten to the point that his skin was open and his flesh was blurred, and the straight people couldn't bear to look at it.
Feng Zhixian slapped the shocked wood and shouted: "Bold thief, don't hurry up to murder Cui Xianggong on the fishing boat and rob the details of his property! If you are still obsessed, don't blame the county for the harsh punishment, and you will definitely be rewarded with another forty boards! Don't make a quick move!"
"Quick move, quick move!" said the lower officials in the hall with a stick.
Lu Zhao knew that the crime was not light, if he confessed, it would definitely be a dead end, so he simply came to it as a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water and resisted to the end!
Seeing that he still refused to recruit people, Feng Zhixian's anger had reached the extreme, and he was about to order another cane to be punished, but the master shouted "Wait", walked up to the stage, and came to the inside of the public case.
Feng Zhixian was quite unhappy in his heart, and with a slight anger on his face, he asked, "Dare to ask the master what this means, why do you want to stop this county from executing the thief?"
The master smiled slightly, and whispered in his ear: "My lord, let go of the wrath of thunder! The thief knows that the crime he has committed is not light, if he confesses, he will definitely be unable to escape death∞ no matter how the adult beats him, but it is only a futile effort∪ if he is not careful, he uses too much torture, and kills the thief with the rod, wouldn't it be a big mistake! ”
When Feng Zhixian heard this, he thought it was quite reasonable, his face was a little happy, and he asked the master: "Then according to Mr. Shi, how should this matter be good?"
"Just ...... like this" whispered in his ear, Feng Zhixian was very happy when he heard it, and said with a smile: "Good idea! Just do what Mr. wants!" He was shocked and shouted: "It's getting late today, so let's stop for the time being! Someone is coming! Put the thief and his wife in a big prison, detain them in one place, and retry them tomorrow and leave the court!"
"Wei ...... Wu ......"
The four yacha started together, took the Lu family and the two members of the family down the hall, and went straight to the cell.
Let's say that the husband and wife of the Lu family were locked up in one place, and when they saw that there were no idlers around, they relaxed their guard in their hearts and complained about each other:
"Brother Fa, according to my previous opinion, you should have killed this guy with one sword, but you just didn't listen! You have to drown him in the river! This is a good thing, people don't die, but they will cause their own family to suffer. I think you deserve it!"
"Okay, Sister Lian!" Lu Zhaofa reluctantly sat up and said: "The matter has come to this point, is it useless to say this? In my opinion, I shouldn't have listened to you in the first place, we shouldn't have done this thing at all≡ on the day of the fight, we were attacked by the officers and soldiers to break through the cottage, we went through a lot of hardships, and finally escaped. I didn't want to be greedy for a while, and I did such an unscrupulous thing again, and finally got my head down! cough! This is also our life, and after all, we still can't escape criminal responsibility. But beg for the next life, don't be a thief again!"
"Phew!" Dongfang Yulian did not repent, and said: "What a coward and vulgar man with no ambition, the old lady was really blind at the beginning, how could she marry a mischievous person like you!"
"Ha......! Good scolding! Scolding is too right!" As soon as the words fell, I saw Feng Wenhao, the county governor of Longhua, with his master, Han Yiyi, and others, flashing outside the prison door... Come, this is exactly the plan set by the master, intending to detain him and his wife together, and then remove the head of the class cell, the purpose is to teach the thief to relax his guard and tell the truth in person.
The two thieves were dumbfounded, speechless, like a deflated ball, a frosted eggplant, slumped on the ground, and did not move.
Feng Zhixian's face sank, and he shouted angrily: "Hmph! It turns out that you and your husband are both reckless and reckless rogues who have committed old crimes, this is really in response to the old saying, there are gods in the head of the head, and you can deceive others and deceive yourself! Come on! Take out the thieves, this county will be promoted overnight, and the thieves will be sent down!"
"Obey!" Han Yi, the head catcher, was overjoyed, and immediately stepped forward to unlock the locks, took out the thief and his wife from the cell, and escorted them straight to the county court.
Feng Zhixian did not bother to say any more, and made a verdict on the spot: The two thieves will be hanged and imprisoned to close the case! The two thieves complained bitterly, but they were helpless. In the end, the only regret is that after all, it was a bit of a fly in the ointment to not be able to recover the robbed fifty taels of silver, but it also strangled the thief and eradicated the troubles.
When the matter in Longhua County was over, the next day, Chu Ping and Shui Lingyu left Longhua hand in hand and continued to hurry.
If you want to know what happens next, let's see the breakdown below.
