Chapter 42: Coerced confessions
The woman didn't return the salute, but just nodded slightly, "Erniang is running around the rivers and lakes, it's hard work, don't use thanks." ”
"I didn't think you were really a thief!" the maid Xiaocui wrinkled her nose and skimmed Zhang San disdainfully.
"Hey, just a few people, I'm still a flower thief. Zhang San's neck straightened.
The shoulder was so painful that Zhang San felt endless hatred in his heart, Huo Erniang caught the thief quickly, and he had nothing to say, but he had no grievances with this woman, and he actually made such a ruthless move when he met, his face was like a peach and a plum, and his heart was like a snake and scorpion.
If there is a moment to escape from the clutches of the devil, Zhang San will hate to make this woman suffer.
At the moment, although I know that it is not a wise move to take advantage of my tongue, but I don't spit out my words unpleasantly, and I have been stabbed anyway, so what is there to be afraid of.
Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, he was slapped heavily on the face, and he didn't see the woman's palm, but he saw that her sleeves moved slightly, if it weren't for Zhang San's own hot face, he would have thought that the wind was blowing!
The kung fu difference is too far, Zhang San feels that the master of the door, Chu Yuntian, may not be able to beat this woman in white, but he is not afraid, the senior brother has medicine, he is not afraid of thieves stealing, he is afraid of thieves, if he does not put this woman together, it will be boring to be a thief for the rest of his life.
"One day, if you fall into my hands, you will be rewarded tenfold and hundredfold, and then it will be unpredictable. ”
Zhang San gritted his teeth.
The woman seemed to be really angry with his threat, her brows furrowed, and her hand rested on the hilt of her sword.
Huo Erniang saw that the situation was not good, so she kicked Zhang San in the crook of her hind legs, and kicked Zhang San to the ground, "The duck is dead and its mouth is still hard." ”
Turning his head and smiling at the woman in white: "This kid is a key offender told by the above, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come out alive, Miss Yaliang, don't be like him." ”
The woman snorted, stopped talking, and went away with the two maids.
Huo Erniang escorted Zhang San all the way to the Hangzhou Mansion, at this time the onlookers and the officers and soldiers behind came up, pointing and pointing, but Zhang San couldn't take care of it, the sword wound on the shoulder blade hurt him dizzily for a while, whoever loves him laughs, wait until he sees Zhu Congzhi, let him buy ten houses for Lao Tzu in Hangzhou Mansion, and put ten beauties in one to eliminate the hatred in his heart and the shame on his face.
No one bandaged it, and after entering the palace, the wound gradually solidified on its own and stopped bleeding.
I thought that it would be the head of the mansion who would pass through the hall soon, but it turned out otherwise, wearing the flower hall and walking the path, Zhang San was taken into a dark room.
There is also a cellar in the dark room, which is very large, with an iron fence in the middle, two chairs and a table outside, and a copper pillar inside.
Obviously, it is not used to store Chinese cabbage in winter, this is a black cell, and the dignified prefect still wants to lynch him? Zhang San's pain gradually eased, and he muttered to himself in his heart.
Sure enough, Zhang San was tied to the copper pillar by the officers and soldiers, and after Huo Erniang personally checked it, he locked the fence from the outside and wanted to take the officers and soldiers away.
Zhang San didn't know why, and hurriedly shouted: "I want to see the prefect." ”
Huo Erniang paused for a moment and said, "Be honest, maybe you can save your life." ”
After saying that, he did not leave, but stood at the door with five officers and soldiers, and the rest went out.
It's like you're waiting for someone, the prefect is coming soon?
I have seen Luzhou, the prefect of southern Thailand, which has changed Zhang San's impression of the officials, I hope that this prefect is also sensible, after all, the status of Hangzhou Mansion is much higher than that of southern Thailand.
Soon, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and more than a dozen people came in, but they were not dressed as officials, and the two people in the lead looked like rich men and Jiangyang thieves, and they were not official uniforms.
"My lord, I have confirmed, this person is Zhang San, and he has not been searched yet. ”
Huo Erniang saluted the rich man.
The rich man nodded, pulled a chair and sat down, and then with a wave of his hand, the two strong men under his command opened the fence and turned over the three.
"I have a token of Zhu Congzhi, the third son of the king of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and I am doing things for him. Zhang San shouted, the situation was urgent, and he had to say it.
However, everyone was like every time they heard his words, and the two strong men began to search their bodies without raising their heads, from waist knives to silver ingots, and even one of the sweat towels that Zhang San had stolen from Lu Wan was found.
The items were placed on the table one by one, and the rich man only glanced at it, then turned his head, looked at Zhang San and asked, "What about Ding?"
The voice is deep and powerful, with an invisible sense of oppression.
As soon as he heard this question, he gave Zhang San a feeling that the other party knew everything, and it seemed that it was futile to deny the quibbles.
Zhang San didn't go around the bend, and said directly: "Ding is in Zhu Congzhi's hands." ”
"Hit!" the rich man spat out two words this time.
As soon as they finished handing over their things, the two strong men rolled up their arms and sleeves and came in again.
Zhang San hurriedly said: "It's really in Zhu Congzhi's hands." ”
The words were still not listened to, and the fists of the two strong men the size of vinegar bowls came up directly, not to split their heads and cover their faces, but to be very rhythmic, this time and that.
The position of the fight is very clever, which makes Zhang San feel that he is out of breath, and he just took a punch and was about to spit out the turbidity, and the other punch just came up.
This feeling of grievance was more than pain, and Zhang San soon felt dizzy in his head and his chest swollen.
The rich man waved his hand, the strong man stopped, and Zhang San's breath finally came up, but it was not anger that came out, but a mouthful of blood.
The official law is like a furnace, and the punishment is like iron, Zhang San can be regarded as a preliminary understanding today.
"Ding is in the hands of Zhu Congzhi. "Even if you are killed, Zhang San, you will only say these seven words, because this is the truth.
"But he said it was in your hands. "The rich man is finally willing to speak normally.
Zhang San scolded secretly in his heart, "No wonder I was caught, I dare to love that this grandson was arrested and sold himself, but will the Hangzhou prefect arrest the son of the king of Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"
Things are not so simple, Zhang San suddenly felt the real danger aura.
"You can let him confront him. Zhang San said.
"He's already running. The rich man said.
"Then you go and arrest him, I'm just doing things for him, and it's over after the things are delivered, and I don't know where Ding is now. ”
"Hehe, it's not that easy, pull it down after stealing something, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world. The rich man squinted.
"Then the beating was beaten, the slashing was also chopped, the total crime is not death, right?" Zhang San said.
"Well, let's talk about it first. The rich man said.
Zhang San omitted stealing medicine for Lu Wan, and directly said how to help Zhu Congzhi steal the tripod process, there is nothing to hide, the matter has been leaked, and he can't afford to suffer for trivial things.
"Oh, how did you get that gossip lock?" the rich man suddenly asked a detail.
"The word "dry" is a little slippery, so I guess it's a positive turn, and it's open at one point. Zhang San replied.
"Hehe, he's still a bit of a shrewd thief. The rich man laughed twice.
"Then in your opinion, where is Ding now?"
"I really don't know, after handing it over to Zhu Congzhi, he asked me to lure the Lin family away, and then he ran away by himself, since you caught him, you should find it. Zhang Sandao.
"When he was caught, he was gone, and he said that it was on you, and the agreed delivery was made by the broken bridge. The rich man said.
