Chapter 119: Coerced Confession

As the little fat man's voice lagged behind, Jin Buyan answered, turned around and took a thick hemp rope from the torture instrument next to him.

The little fat man looked at the rope and seemed very pleased with its thickness. The little fat man raised his eyebrows slightly, pointed at Zhang Dashan and ordered: "Tie him to the pillar for me!"

"Obey!" Jin Buyan answered, walked to Zhang Dashan's side, and no matter how he struggled, he also tied him firmly to the pillar under the lobby according to what the little fat man said. Zhang Dashan kept shouting grievances, and Yang Cuizhen was also by her husband's side. And Liu Xiaohong was stunned by the little fat man's unexpected move, looking at Zhang Dashan who was tied to the pillar, and was speechless.

The little fat man walked down the hall and slowly approached Zhang Dashan. Zhang Dashan looked at the little fat man in horror, not knowing what he was going to do. The prefect sitting in the hall, although he didn't know what medicine was sold in the little fat man's gourd, but, according to his understanding of the little fat man, he knew that he wouldn't be too nonsense, so he didn't ask.

The little fat man said: "Zhang Dashan, it's best to explain the matter between you and Liu Xiaohong truthfully." ”

That Zhang Dashan still doesn't admit that he has anything to do with Liu Xiaohong, gritted his teeth, and insisted that Liu Xiaohong was seducing/luring him. The little fat man smiled coldly and said, "Once, when I was in Xianshan, I learned a trick from a master outside the world, called "Flying Knife Spit Truth". Specifically, I have three throwing knives here, and I'm standing ten paces away from you. If you're telling the truth, none of my three throwing knives will hit you. If you're lying, one of these three throwing knives will hit you in the heart. ”

When Zhang Dashan heard this, his face turned pale and he trembled uncontrollably. If it weren't for the ropes, I'm afraid he would have collapsed. Seeing this, Liu Xiaohong wanted to speak out against it, but was glared at by the little fat man, claiming that she would speak again and tie her to the pillar. Perhaps afraid of the majesty of the fat lord, Liu Xiaohong didn't dare to speak, and looked at her husband Zhang Dashan at a loss.

"Your Excellency, you can't do that......"

Zhang Dashan said in horror, before he finished his words, he only heard a "whoosh" sound in his ears, and a flying knife actually flew in, and it was stunned and pierced on the pillar next to his ear. Although it didn't pierce his flesh, it shaved off a few of his hairs along his hair. The flying knife emitted a faint meaning, which made Zhang Dashan feel the threat of death.

The little fat man stood ten paces away from the emperor, looking at Zhang Dashan with a playful expression. At this moment, the little fat man took out another throwing knife. The little fat man sharpened his fingernails with a flying knife, glanced at Zhang Dashan out of the corner of his eye, and asked, "Zhang Dashan, are you telling the truth?"

Zhang Dashan was a little stunned now, his mind was still immersed in fear, and he didn't react for a while. I saw that the little fat man raised his hand, and another silver light shot out.

"Ah......h In fact, this kind of mentality is what we usually call the "ostrich mentality". When the ostrich is pursued from abroad, it sees that it cannot run, so it plunges its head into the sand. In this case, the whole world will be dark, as if it thinks that foreign enemies will not come after it. As everyone knows, if it does this, it is just as the wish of the foreign enemy, and it can easily catch the ostrich. Although many people know that this way of covering their ears and stealing the bell is wrong. However, he still can't control his limbs.

For a while, Zhang Dashan didn't feel pain, so he slowly opened his eyes. He didn't feel the knife above his head, so he looked down. When I saw it like this, I almost scared my pee. The throwing knife was stuck in the middle of his crotch. If the flying knife is placed a little higher, it is estimated that a new eunuch in Tianhua will be born.

"I say, I say it all!" shouted Zhang Dashan, trembling all over, he could no longer bear the threat of death and castration of the little fat man.

Hearing this, the little fat man smiled slightly, let Jin Buyan let go of Zhang Dashan, and he turned around and returned to Tangshan. When he arrived at the hall, the prefect looked at the little fat man with an appreciative face. The little fat man smiled, not knowing if the prefect would be responsible for messing around with himself. In fact, the little fat man's method of coercing confessions has not been used by the prefect. Now, seeing that the little fat man is so smooth, let Zhang Dashan tell the truth, and he is still thinking about whether to report this new method of coercing confessions to the imperial court and add it to the Tianhua Criminal Law.

Zhang Dashan, who was released, seemed to have collapsed all of a sudden, knelt down in the hall, and told the truth. It turned out that this Zhang Dashan really had a tryst with Liu Xiaohong behind his wife's back, and swore to Liu Xiaohong that he would divorce his yellow-faced wife and marry Liu Xiaohong as his wife. However, in his heart, he was never ready to divorce his wife, let alone marry Liu Xiaohong. Because although Liu Xiaohong is beautiful, she has always been a prostitute woman, and if she enters the house, she will be laughed to death by relatives and friends. The reason why Zhang Dashan did this was just "playing".

After listening to Zhang Dashan's words, Yang Cuizhen pounced on him, tore his clothes, and wanted to fight with him. If it weren't for the official to stop him, I'm afraid this mountain would have been ruined. The matter has been clear, the little fat man announced Liu Xiaohong's acquittal in court, and ordered that in the future, this big mountain Yang Cuizhen and his wife can no longer trouble Liu Xiaohong. Otherwise, the punishment will be served. Then, let the men go home.

When the prefect saw that the little fat man was so fast, he took a very happy thing, and he felt very comfortable in his heart. The little fat man saw that although Liu Xiaohong was acquitted, he was sad. So, the little fat man asked the prefect for instructions and took the initiative to send Liu Xiaohong back. The prefect nodded in agreement, and the little fat man followed Liu Xiaohong to her Yihong Courtyard.

Because I didn't know what to say, I didn't have anything to say along the way. When the little fat man sent Liu Xiaohong to the gate of Yihong Courtyard, he heard a duck-voiced bustard shouting there: "Don't be nine hundred and eight, and don't want ninety-eight." Just nine, two, eight, and the cute girl takes it home. What can you do during the day, and you can still snap at night! Judges, what are you waiting for, hurry up!"

Such explicit words made the little fat man who was not deeply involved in the world red-faced. Listening to these words, I don't know how many men are angry, and they are ready to spend a few taels of silver to take a girl back to play for a few days. The little fat man sighed and said, "Girl, I advise you to leave this kind of place as soon as possible and go back to find an honest man to marry!"

Liu Xiaohong glanced at the little fat man gratefully and said, "Little brother, thank you." Actually, along the way, I have thought so too. After what I just did, I have completely lost interest in this life of laughter. When I returned, I was going to take out my savings for many years and redeem myself before going back to my hometown. ”

The little fat man said, "It's best for the girl to think like this!" Okay, since you're home, I'll go back too." ”

So, in Liu Xiaohong's grateful eyes, the little fat man took a big step and walked towards the yamen.

Before he arrived at the Yamen, he saw Ding Hao. The little fat man walked over and asked with a smile, "Ding Hao, why are you here?"

Ding Hao also replied with a smile: "Brother Zhu, I'm waiting for you!"

The little fat man looked surprised and said, "What are you waiting for me?"

Ding Hao explained: "Brother Zhu, my master hasn't seen you for a few days, and he misses you very much, so he specially instructed me to take you to meet him when you come back." ”

Thinking of Liuyun Dao, the little fat man felt a burst of warmth in his heart. I don't know how to get it, but the little fat man feels that he has a sense of intimacy with this old Taoist. Once upon a time, the little fat man also thought sadly: Should I also be a Taoist priest!

"Okay, let's go now!" the little fat man said heartily, and the two of them walked side by side towards the place where Liuyun Dao Chang often set up a fortune teller.

I saw Liuyun Daoist from afar, his business was not good today, and no one asked him for fortune telling, and he was leaning down on the table to take a nap at this time. The little fat man and Ding Hao walked to the Liuyun Dao Chief, who was still lying there motionless. Ding Hao cautiously shouted: "Master......"

Perhaps it was because he heard Ding Hao's voice, and the head of Liuyun Dao stretched his waist and opened his sleepy eyes. As soon as Liuyun Dao Chang opened his eyes, he saw the little fat man and Ding Hao standing in front of him. Liuyun Dao Chang smiled and said, "Little fat man, when did you come back?"

The little fat man said, "Dao Chief, I came back yesterday. Because I was so tired yesterday, I didn't come to see you. ”

Liuyun Dao Chief said, "It's okay, it's okay. By the way, I've heard that a lot of things have happened in Fulong Valley and Xianjian Villa recently, let's go find a place, and you can come and hear about it. ”

The little fat man nodded in agreement, and the Liuyun Daoist hurriedly cleaned up the things on the table, and stuffed those pen, ink, paper, inkstones, and a few old books that looked like old yellow calendars into a small box under the table. So, the three men walked towards a restaurant.

Today's official business is not very busy, the little fat man is good Ding Hao, and he actually chatted with Liuyun Daoist for an afternoon. This is also the advantage of catching fast, when something happens, you may be risking the test of life and death. When you're not busy, it's painful to be idle. The three of them chatted while drinking, of course, the main thing was to listen to the little fat man tell that the little fat man was also very human, and when he told what happened in Fulong Valley and Xianjian Villa, it was called a loud voice, which made people feel immersive. Of course, the little fat man is hiding a lot of things. For example, when I met my master, I had no ancestors. For example, his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. The little fat people didn't say anything, they just picked up some things that didn't need to be hidden. The three of them chatted, and it was not too early, so they agreed to meet again tomorrow.

After the little fat man and Ding Hao returned to the yamen to hand in their errands, as soon as they changed their clothes, Ding Hao grabbed the little fat man and said, "Brother Zhu, do you remember, we have something to do tonight?"
