Chapter 44: Trial of Cases
"In this way, this tragic incident in your family is the involvement of the government, and there are big people behind it! Brother Duan, have you offended any big people?"
Duan Yuanqing shook his head blankly, he really didn't provoke any enemies, the only time he followed Yang Yi to destroy the beggar gang in the entire Yuezhou City. But it seems that this matter has nothing to do with the beggar gang.
Yang Yi had a general understanding of Duan Yuanqing's affairs, and sighed: "I didn't want to make a big fuss in Song Tu, but after seeing Brother Duan's experience today, it is not possible not to kill a few people." ”
He found a carriage, helped Duan Yuanqing into the car, and said, "Brother Duan, let's go back to your county seat now, since I don't know why you will be wronged by this, then arrest the county order and interrogate it carefully." ”
Duan Yuanqing's eyes widened, revealing infinite hatred, he nodded desperately, and shouted indistinctly: "Kill! kill...... Kill!"
Yang Yi smiled: "Then kill!"
The county seat where Duan Yuanqing lives is not far from here, called Taocheng, and he hurried all the way, and he arrived the next day.
Although the place of Taocheng is small, the scenery is good. Small bridges and flowing water, dead vines and old trees, roadside wildflower paths open spontaneously, lingering bees and butterflies dancing from time to time, but it is a good place to live.
When he arrived at the gate of the county office, it was already dark, and Yang Yi said to Duan Yuanqing in the carriage: "Brother Duan, you wait for a while, I will go back when I go." ”
Duan Yuanqing's right hand swung a few times and stopped talking. Yang Yi understood what he meant, "Okay, I'll be back in a while." ”
Although Duan Yuanqing's body is weak, his hearing is still there. He heard Yang Yi get out of the carriage, and in a moment there was a bang at the entrance of the county office, followed by the sound of objects falling to the ground, like rain, and a lot of things fell on the roof of the carriage.
Then there was a burst of shouting and scolding: "Huang San, your grandmother's, what's wrong with the door?"
After hearing the conversation, Duan Yuanqing realized that the voice just now turned out to be the sound of the gate collapsing, and it looked like the situation was being ruined by Yang Yi.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Yang Yi laugh a long time, "Bai County Order, are you still in the county office?"
A family member scolded: "Where did you come from? You dare to trespass on the county government! You also knocked down the gate?"
Then a few more people shouted and scolded, but there was silence in an instant. I faintly heard several exclamations in the backyard of the county government, including the screams of women and young children, as well as screams and scolding. Then there was silence again, and suddenly the wind blew from outside the car, but the door curtain of the carriage was lifted, Yang Yi poked his head out of the car and said to Duan Yuanqing: "Brother Duan, I will help you into the county hall, and our brothers will also be the county master today and try the case." ”
Duan Yuanqing didn't know what he meant, but after being helped out of the carriage by Yang Yi, he was shocked, only to see that the gate of the county government was open, and the lights were bright inside, and the two rows of officials were lined up on the left and right, holding water and fire sticks, calm and concentrating. When the two rows of people saw Yang Yi walking over with Duan Yuanqing in his arms, their bodies trembled, the sticks in their hands couldn't help shaking, and they couldn't help making a slight impact sound on the ground.
Yang Yi entered the lobby and shouted, "Shouting Tangwei!"
The two rows of officials shouted in unison: "Might~Wu~"
Yang Yi laughed, made a throne in the main hall, and ordered the officials to move a big chair for Duan Yuanqing to sit aside, and said to Duan Yuanqing: "Brother Duan, these officials actually eat and live here in the county order, but it also saves the need to search door to door. Wait until I have carefully stated the facts of your case, and then I will think about it. ”
Duan Yuanqing nodded silently, curious, and didn't know what Yang Yi was going to do. At this moment, a foul smell came from the side, turned his head to look, and carefully distinguished, only to find that there was still a person kneeling in the shadow of the lobby, but it was too vague to know who it was.
Yang Yi sat behind the big case, picked up a piece of shocking wood and threw it hard, shouting: "Bring the prisoner to the front!"
The two rows of officials, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do.
Kneeling on the ground was their county magistrate, and now he was forced to kneel to the ground by the strongman, and even several of their servants were forcibly pulled to the lobby by the person in front of him.
Seeing this, Yang Yi sneered, slapped the table with both palms, and the fire sticks on the table suddenly bounced up and flew towards several officials in a sneer, and in just an instant, the fire sticks had already been inserted into the shoulders of the officials, and they were all left shoulders. Several officials screamed a few times, but under Yang Yi's gaze, the screams were swallowed back suddenly, and their bodies trembled.
Yang Yidao: "Bring someone to commit a crime!"
This time, several officials did not hesitate anymore and dragged the person kneeling in the shadow to Yang Yi, and at this time Yuan Qing knew that this person was Lu Zhiyang, the county commander of the county. In the past, Lu Zhiyang was full of ambition and infinite scenery, but at this time, his strands trembled, and there was stinky water dripping at the hem of his trousers, which was a state of scare.
Yang Yi slapped the table again, and Lu Zhiyang's body trembled, and his head hung lower.
Yang Yi asked, "Is it Lu Zhi County?"
Lu Zhiyang bowed to the ground and stammered: "Just ...... Precisely... Lower officials. ”
Yang Yi said: "Look at who is sitting next to you?"
Lu Zhiyang looked up at Duan Yuanqing, because the brightness of the candlelight was limited, he was short-sighted again, and after looking at it for a long time, he couldn't see Duan Yuanqing's appearance.
Yang Yi saw that he had difficulty seeing people, slapped the table and said, "This person's name is Duan Yuanqing, can Lu County Ling recognize him?"
Lu Zhiyang let out an "ah", and finally knew what the strongman in front of him was for bringing himself here for interrogation. He can do the step of the county order, after all, his brain is better than ordinary people, and now that he sees Duan Yuanqing in front of him, he has already guessed what Yang Yi is here for.
Lu Zhiyang originally felt that he had a glimmer of life, but after hearing Duan Yuanqing's name at this time, he already knew that he would definitely die today.
There are two kinds of people in the world, one is under torture, who will not let go of his mouth when he dies, and would rather die than betray his teammates, and the other is the person who wants to pull a few people to accompany him before he dies.
Lu Zhiyang naturally belongs to the kind of person who has to pull a few pads before he dies, since he knows that it is difficult for him to survive, it arouses his courage, and his body is not trembling, he straightens his waist and shouts: "Zhuangshi, I already know what you want to ask." Just ask, I'm sure I won't hide anything!"
Yang Yi nodded and said, "Wise choice!"
Lu Zhiyang said in a low voice: "You can't be someone's dog for nothing! Now that you're going to die, there's so much to worry about!"
Yang Yi asked, "Why did you frame Duan Yuanqing?"
Lu Zhiyang said: "A few days ago, Shi Gongzi of Shi Jiaye passed by Taocheng, and when he saw Duan Yuanqing's wife's beauty, he had a bad heart, and after letting the petty officials open Duan Yuanqing, he sent his subordinates to tie Mrs. Duan to the place of accommodation, wanting to forcibly seek pleasure, but Mrs. Duan had a strong temperament and would rather die than obey, grabbed a strand of Shi Gongzi's hair, and was killed by Shi Gongzi in a rage, and even the blind child was also killed by him. ”
Yang Yidao: "What happened later?
Lu Zhiyang said: "Later, Shi Gongzi was troublesome, so he instructed the junior official to clean up the whole thing, so as not to be caught by someone and annoy him." ”
Yang Yidao: "Then you just found a reason to put Duan Yuanqing in prison and sentence?"
Lu Zhiyang said: "Yes!"
Yang Yi nodded, "The last question, what is the origin of the Shi family's business?"
Lu Zhiyang said: "He is the son of the current Prime Minister Shi Miyuan. ”
Yang Yi said: "In this way, where is he now?"
Lu Zhiyang said: "He was just passing through Taocheng, and now he has rushed back to Kyoto. ”
Yang Yi smiled: "If you don't do good people, why do you have to be a licking dog?"
slapped the table, and the remaining fire pick jumped up, and with a snort, it had already shot through Lu Zhiyang's heart, killing him instantly.
broke the legs of several servants, and Yang Yi picked up Duan Yuanqing, who was trembling all over: "Brother Duan, are you afraid of death?"
Duan Yuanqing nodded and shook his head again.
Yang Yi said: "In this case, let's go to Kyoto!"
"Hehe, Shi Miyuan, this name is so familiar!"
