Volume 2 Ten Witches of Southern Xinjiang Chapter 91 The first clues
The next day, at the next hour, Lin Xingyu was wearing a black long robe, and he had already hidden in the designated place, blending in with the night, waiting quietly, he was afraid that he would miss it with Xu Zi'an and others until it was too late.
At three o'clock, Xu Zi'an walked towards the village with more than 20 Jin Xuanwei murderously, Lin Xingyu quietly followed, and someone in the Jin Xuanwei team who was moving quickly seemed to have discovered Lin Xingyu, just glanced back slightly, and then turned around again, it should have been Xu Zi'an's order.
More than 20 Jin Xuanwei walked on the path, without making any footsteps, quiet as ghosts. When they arrived at the gate of the village, two Jin Xuanwei moved their hands casually in front of the door, and the gate was opened silently, and more than 20 Jin Xuanwei rushed into the gate and quickly dispersed, surrounding the village.
The so-called village is nothing more than twenty makeshift thatched houses, clustered together, with the first two being slightly better mud houses.
The house is surrounded by tall trees to prevent outsiders from entering.
Lin Xingyu saw that there was no one in front of the door, so he quietly walked into the courtyard, and there were two middle-aged men who had been knocked out at the door, lying on the ground like mud, and it seemed that they would not be able to wake up for a while.
Inside the courtyard wall, Xu Zi'an and two people were about to go into the mud house to arrest people, and the people inside should have heard the movement and walked out. Out of the two mud houses came six middle-aged people with buns, looking shrewd and capable, and well-dressed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Genji came to visit late at night, I don't know what happened?" the middle-aged man standing in the middle asked, clenching his fists.
"Huh. Xu Zi'an sneered. "I don't know what is the matter, and whoever abducts a child according to the law of the dynasty is guilty of capital punishment, and whoever abducts a child and takes it for life and mutilation is punished by death. ”
"My lord misunderstood, we are also working for the imperial court. The middle-aged man's face was as usual, and he handed out a black waist card to Xu Zi'an.
Xu Zi'an took the waist card and looked at it carefully, it was indeed not a copy, and the carving process on it must have been made by the imperial craftsmen of the government.
"Trash!" Xu Zi'an casually threw it on the ground, "If you know the law and break the law, you will be arrested for one more crime." ”
"Master Xu, I advise you, don't meddle in things, there are some things that you can't meddle in if you want to. The middle-aged man spoke, his voice was calm, it seemed that someone was helping him when the sky fell, and the five people behind him also looked calm.
"Do you still have comrades? Xu Zi'an said coldly, the other party actually knew him, and there was no panic, it seems that the person behind him is afraid that his hands and eyes are all over the sky.
"We didn't commit a crime, so why should we talk to the party?" said the middle-aged man with a slight smile.
"After you experience the torture of Jin Xuansi, if you can still be so hard-mouthed, I sincerely admire you. ”
"Isn't Lord Xu afraid of getting burned?" the middle-aged man approached Xu Zi'an, lowered his eyelids, and said softly.
"Take it away, take it directly to the prison of Jinxuansi. Xu Zi'an said decisively.
Jin Xuanwei arrested a total of 26 people in this operation, including 8 adult men, 18 minors, and rescued 31 abducted and trafficked children.
The mutilated children were also brought back, and after daybreak, they recorded their statements and handed them over to the arresters of Jianan County to find their biological parents.
Lin Xingyu sneaked in quietly after everyone left, and searched the house one by one.
Xu Zi'an took the people back to Jinxuansi and imprisoned them in prison, leaving only a few henchmen and right-hand men, ready to interrogate them overnight and force them to question the whereabouts of their comrades.
Eight adult criminals were held alone, eighteen minors were held together, it was difficult to even sit down in a small space, and it was very uncomfortable to huddle together, Xu Zi'an hated them, but they were not the main culprits, and the trial of the main culprits was a top priority, but he didn't want these accomplices who were acting for the tiger to feel good, so he locked them together.
Xu Zi'an stood outside the prison and stood face to face with the middle-aged man headed.
"If you don't want to endure all the hardships, just say it, where are the comrades? Where are the other dens?"
"What kind of party, what den? Jin Xuanji can arrest people at will, and he wants to punish us law-abiding and good people?" said the middle-aged man.
"It seems that you won't confess without torture. Xu Zi'an turned his head and ordered Xun Fengjian, "Torture!"
"Lord Qianwei, the county guard is here with Sun Zhutou. A Jin Xuanwei ran over and said to Xu Zi'an.
"The front foot just grabbed in, and the back foot came to ask for people, and if they were well-informed enough, let them in. Xu Zi'an squinted his eyes and said.
In a moment, the county guard walked in and walked very slowly, covering his nose, unable to accept the smell of blood in the prison, followed by Sun Chengsun to catch his head.
The warden looked to be in his forties, slightly shorter, with a low face and a goatee.
"Lord County Shou, what is the matter of deigning to come to the Jinxuan Division Prison?" Xu Zi'an said in a cold voice.
"Xu Qianwei, this official heard that Jin Xuansi cracked a child abduction case overnight? This kind of case has always been followed up by the county arrest fast, since Jin Xuansi has cracked the case, the suspect and the victim should be handed over to the arrest fast, as for the credit of Lord Xu, this official will report to the imperial court, and the credit will not be less at all. In order to show his sincerity, the county keeper lowered his hand and said with a courtesy.
"Lord County Guard, these criminals are not suspects, more than 20 Jinxuanwei from the Jinxuan Division were dispatched to arrest them overnight, and the human and material evidence is complete. The criminal has confessed to some of his accomplices and dens, and I suspect that there are still other accomplices and dens that have not confessed, and they need to be interrogated overnight. Xu Zi'an said fraudulently.
"Oh, really?" the warden looked sideways into the cell.
The middle-aged man in charge of the prison quickly shook his head and did not speak.
"Since Xu Qianwei has been tried out of the same party, it is a great achievement, waiting for the official to report, to ensure that Lord Xu will be added to the official and knighted, Lord Xu will hand over the prisoner to me, and go home to wait for the news of the promotion, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing. The warden continued.
"If you don't bother with the county guard, the lord will go home and wait for the news, and wait for Xu to try out the prisoner and the rest of the party, bring him to justice, and then hand it over to the county guard. Xu Zi'an refused, turned to Xun Fengjian and said, "Torture!"
"Wait!" The county guard stopped Xu Zi'an, and his face instantly turned cold against Xu Zi'an, who was not allowed to enter with oil and salt, "Xu Qianwei, Lord Siwei will be here soon, and it will not be too late to torture him when the time comes." ”
As soon as Xu Zi'an heard this, his eyes changed, could it be that even the head of the guard had something to do with these people, and he felt that he couldn't delay, "Leave them alone, torture!"
Xun Fengjian opened the cell door with the torture instrument, and subdued the middle-aged man with one move, the middle-aged man was tied to the torture instrument, sweat soaked his clothes, Jin Xuansi tortured, presumably even if he hadn't seen it, he knew something, otherwise he wouldn't be so frightened.
Xun Fengjian threw off a roll of tools, on which were inserted many torture instruments, including sharp and sharp peeling knives, cold and bright torture knives, and slender and hard steel needles...... Xun Fengjian took out a short knife to cut off the bones, aimed at the bone gap of the middle-aged man's kneecap and slowly stabbed it in.
"Ah~~!!" The middle-aged man couldn't help but feel the severe pain and shouted, "I'll move!
When Xu Zi'an and Xun Fengjian heard this, their faces were happy, and they immediately put away their knives.
The faces of the county guard and Sun Cheng were extremely ugly, but there was no way to stop them, they were all people from Jinxuansi here.
"Wait. A slow voice came from the distance of the cell, walking towards Xu Zi'an.
The person who came was the head of the Jinxuan Division of Jianan County, named Gao Wuyang.
"Master Chief, Lord Wei!" everyone bowed and saluted.
"Xu Qianwei. The head guard was not wearing an official uniform, but an ordinary dress, entered the dungeon, and walked in front of Xu Zi'an.
"In!" Xu Zi'an bowed his head.
"Hand over the prisoner to the county keeper. Gao Wuyang said slowly.
"My lord!" Xu Zi'an raised his head violently and looked at Gao Wuyang.
"I said, "Take the prisoner... Leave it to the county keeper. The head of the guard said slowly and forcefully.
"Yes!" Xu Zi'an did not dare to disobey.
"Hand the prisoners over to the county guard and escort them back to the yamen. Xu Zi'an's face was ugly, and he ordered the rest of Jin Xuanwei.
"Thank you, Lord Siwei, and thank you Xu Qianwei. Let's go, Sun Zhutou. The county guard smiled and looked at Xu Zi'an with provocative eyes.
Looking at the backs of the county guard and the prisoner, Xu Zi'an clenched his fists tightly, and his teeth clenched.
"Xu Zi'an, you are my most powerful subordinate, and it is also I who brought you into Jinxuansi and made you a Qianwei. Gao Wuyang looked at Xu Zi'an and said slowly.
"The grace of the adult's promotion is unforgettable for the subordinates. Xu Zi'an clenched his fists and said.
"Be your Qianwei well, and with your ability, there is no doubt that you will be the head of Jinxuansi's guard and pacifying envoy in the future, as for this matter...... Don't check it anymore, it's not what you should check, it's not something you can manage, so let's stop here. Gao Wuyang sighed and said softly.
"Why? I want to look it up. Xu Zi'an said a little stubbornly.
"This matter... It's very involved, you've been investigating it for a long time, right?You must know some of the inside information, why do you want to continue?" Gao Wuyang held his left hand with his right hand, rubbing his thumb up and down in the palm of his left hand.
"Are you just allowed to act recklessly and brutalize the people? Someone must stand up to stop the injustice in this world! Everyone has swept up the snow in front of their doors, chosen to protect themselves, and turned a blind eye to the evil deeds of these people, doesn't that further boost their arrogance, and do they have to turn a blind eye to the darkness in front of them when they are in the light?" Xu Zi'an asked in a deep voice.
"Is there light? Is there still light? You and I are in the quagmire of darkness, but the difference between the depths and the shallows. Gao Wuyang patted Xu Zi'an on the shoulder, "I can't get out of this quagmire, since you are willing to break the shackles that have been deposited for a long time, I won't stop you, but I won't help you, from today on, you and I have nothing to do with it." Throughout the ages, the law changers have never ended up in a good end, and they will be retaliated against by unscrupulous means, and it takes more than just courage... It's more... Life"
"Even if Xu dies, he will find out about the case. ”
"It's good to do it yourself. ”
Gao Wuyang walked to the door of the prison and glanced back at Xu Zi'an, his eyes were complicated.
