Chapter 40 Chapter Forty

When he was escorted into the main hall of Jinkou County Yamen, Ruan Dacheng once again experienced the majesty of the Qing Dynasty.He was in a trance in an absurd and bizarre dream, as if the lawsuit in the second year of Daoguang had been fought until today.It's really strange that the finger that was touched three years ago is in pain again!Nothing in the lobby has changed. A dozen big bearded men are divided into two rows and stand solemnly. The gold plaque with the words "Mirror hangs high" hangs impressively, but after the case, the scrawny old parents of Chen have become short and short. The fat prefect master.

The magistrate personally interrogated Ruan Dacheng. Ruan Dacheng is not afraid.He walked into the hall with his wet head held high and his blood-spattered bare chest stiffened.All the yamen servants reprimanded him to kneel down, but he didn't kneel, he covered the wound on his waist with one hand, and stood like a wooden stake.The yamen servants stepped forward to press him, but he couldn't resist, so he lay down on the ground.All the yamen servants slammed their sticks violently, but as soon as the sticks stopped, he staggered again, clutching his back, and stood up with his legs crossed.

The magistrate's face was dark and he remained silent.He silently watched the bandit leader in front of him being pushed to the ground, and silently watched him get up from the ground. The magistrate seemed to have a certain respect for him, and finally acquiesced in his contempt and disrespect for the Qing government. Ruan Dacheng stood with his legs crossed. The magistrate is sitting. An interrogation begins. "Ruan Dacheng, you gathered people to rebel, captured the county seat, plundered people's wealth, and killed officers and soldiers. Is it true?" Ruan Dacheng sneered and said: "That's right! I, Ruan, and the Manchu dogs of the Qing Dynasty were at odds with each other, and the rebels were rebelled, the city was attacked, and the officers and soldiers were killed. It's a pity that you, an old dog, and that little Bo Qinruo were not involved. All the dogs were killed! They failed to go back to the capital!"

The magistrate was not angry, nor did he slap the gavel. "Sure enough, he is a tough guy! Then, let me ask you again, who are the people who participated in the rebellion? Who are their names? Where do they live?" Dacheng didn't answer. The magistrate asked again: "When did you start to rebel? When and where did you conspire? Who made swords for you? Who donated silver for you?" Dacheng said angrily: "If you want to kill, kill it, don't talk about such nonsense, the uncle will not tell you if you know it, you gang of thieves don't remember your ancestors at all, when the big man recovers, you gang of dogs who do evil Class will not end well!"

The magistrate's self-cultivation is really amazing, he smiled slightly, sighed and said: "Ruan Dacheng, the magistrate respects your integrity and doesn't want you to suffer from the flesh and blood, but you speak wild words, which is a bit too presumptuous Right? Huh?" The magistrate is really a good official with a kind face and a soft heart. When he said this, he spoke slowly, as if a kind elder was trying to persuade a naughty child. Dacheng was unmoved at all, and continued to scold: "Listen, dog officer, I, Ruan, have been rebellious for a long time, and I have sworn not to be a human being. I would rather be a ghost under the sword than wait for a dog like you." Officials like to lick the stinky buttocks of the barbarians! The ancients said: Hulu barbarians have no long luck. The uncle died today, but he was a step ahead. With his supernatural power, he will drive out the Hulu and the barbarians!"

The magistrate presumed he didn't hear it, and asked himself: "So, you didn't gather people to rebel for relief? The release of relief was just an excuse for your rebellion, so it would be wrong for Boqin to kill Chen Rongjun, the county magistrate. gone?" Dacheng didn't understand the true meaning of the magistrate's words for a while, and said again: "You bastard officials, what good things do you have! What good things is your court? It's full of people, and it puts our big Han people in danger. Among them, all Han people who have blood and do not forget their ancestors will rebel sooner or later!"

The magistrate was very interested in this interrogation. He tilted his fat head, rested his chin, squinted at Ruan Dacheng, and asked stubbornly and patiently: "I mean, you will always turn back sooner or later—what do you say?" You have already confessed, so the relief money is an excuse you gave up? How did you know that the relief money was embezzled by Chen Rongjun? What is the secret behind it? When Chen Rongjun was killed, all of you have witnessed that Bo Qinruo beheaded Chen Rongjun Was it forced by you, or did he make up his own mind and have other ulterior motives?"

The prefect's question is heuristic. Only then did Ruan Dacheng realize something. He found that the magistrate in front of him wanted to use his mouth as the leader of the rebels to say something, to write an article about the rescue committee member Bo Qinruo, and he couldn't help but thump As soon as he moves, many vicious thoughts will come out immediately. He was full of hatred for Park Ching-ruo.This young relief committee member is worse than the corrupt official Chen Rongjun!Chen Rongjun's tyranny and greed aroused public anger, and actually helped Qingpu Hongmen a lot, making him, the Generalissimo, use public opinion to set off a big wave.And that Bo Qinruo didn't follow Chen Rongjun's example, but put on an upright and honest face, and even demolished him when the matter was critical!This kind of person is the same as Chen Rongjun and the magistrate, they are the dogs of the Manchurians. If Ruan Dacheng is dead, he will grab a dog to support his back!

Dacheng made up his mind, and slowly opened his mouth: "I, Ruan Mouming, don't do secret things! Uncle's luck is bad, and he has fallen to today's situation. If you say it, you are dead; if you don't say it, you are also dead. Today, the uncle will talk about it." Ming, so as not to wrong some good people!" The magistrate said again and again: "Okay! Okay! Tell me! Tell me! Master Wang, you and I will write them down one by one, and don't miss anything!" Dacheng thought for a while, but stopped talking. The magistrate was in a hurry: "Hey, what's the matter? Tell me!"

Dacheng proudly said: "I am tired from standing, please move a chair with me, sit down and talk slowly!" Ruan Dacheng didn't seem to be on trial, but was chatting with the magistrate. The magistrate has nothing to do with this thief leader. This thief leader is very courageous and a tough guy. He has risked his life and wealth long ago. The rules of the government and the laws of the Qing Dynasty no longer have the slightest binding force on him.The magistrate had no choice but to order someone to bring a Taishi chair and let him sit down. "Make me a good pot of tea, make it stronger!"

After Dacheng sat down carelessly, he gave another order. The magistrate waved his hand and asked a servant to make tea. Crossing his legs and drinking strong fragrant tea, Ruan Dacheng made a confession like a child's play: "My surname is Ruan, my name is Dacheng, and my name is Longji. I live in the Ruan family collection in this county. My father made poems to make trouble, and he died in Qinggou Prison. I was young and wandering in Nanyang. I first sold goods for others, and then saved up some money to open a warehouse. During the chaos in the south, my family was unable to escape, and was wrongly accused by the government of being a bandit. My wife hanged herself. , Concubine Bingjiaoer was sent to Mongolia by a group of dog officials from the south. My Ruan family was ruined and I became rebellious from then on. In the second year of Daoguang, I returned to this county from Nanyang and gathered with Master Qi Ming Daqi in the new market to plan a feud. Righteousness, to do justice for the sky, but at that time, there were not many people, and there was no excuse, so I dare not rashly launch it." The magistrate interjected: "Aside from Qi Mingda, who else participated in the plan? Where is this Qi man now?" Dacheng said: "There is no third person involved in the plan except Qi Mingda, so the matter is so important that I dare not make it public. At present, Qi Mingda is dead." "When did you die?" "He died in the battle of Wanghaiyan Beach last night." "Good! Good! Go on." Dacheng said again, "Master Qi Ming Da Qi once served as the county magistrate of Guiping, and he was born as a Jinshi. He is resourceful and resourceful. He came up with many ideas. After the flood this year, Master Qi said that the time has come and the sky should be wiped out, encouraging me Wait for the incident. And the incident must find a reason, after looking around, I finally found the relief." The magistrate intervened again and asked, "How do you know that the relief money was embezzled by Chen Rongjun? Do you have any proof?" Dacheng shook his head and said: "We don't know whether the relief money has been stolen, and there is no confirmation. Master Qi said: As long as there is a rumor that the relief money has been stolen, it can arouse public anger. So, we let the news go around and spread the post. , secretly launched an incident. This statement is true." The magistrate was very excited: "In this way, the rebellion did not start with money relief, did it?" "yes!" The magistrate was even more excited, and shouted: "Okay! You, Ruan Dacheng, dare to act!" Dacheng took a sip of his tea and swallowed loudly, as if he was about to say more, but the magistrate impatiently pressed him forward: "Then tell the truth, how is the old magistrate Chen Rongjun's politics? A matter of violence and harm to the people?" Dacheng sneered and said: "How many good things do you Manchu dogs have? Can Chen Rongjun be a good thing? This old dog is full of court sages, and recognizes Manchus as ancestors, just like you, a magistrate!" "I want you to tell me about his cruelty and harm to the people!" Dacheng thought for a while, and then said: "As a Han Chinese in China, wouldn't it be harmful to the people to recognize the Manchus as their ancestors? The hypocrisy and hypocrisy he did are self-deprecating!" Satisfied, the magistrate asked again: "Will you be present when Bo Qinruo, the investigation and relief committee member, beheaded Chen Rongjun?" "exist!" "Did you force him to kill him?" "yes!" The magistrate was a little disappointed, and the induction suffered a little setback. "What did Chen Rongjun say before he was beheaded?" "did not hear it." The magistrate was once again disappointed. However, just when the magistrate was depressed, Ruan Dacheng continued to talk endlessly: "The person surnamed Bai is not a good person either! But he is much smarter than Old Dog Chen! He is sympathetic to the people's feelings and knows the people's hearts. When he showed up, he told us that he was also doing justice for the heavens, and we had no objection. He said that "officials force the people to rebel, and rebelling against the people is not a crime." Therefore, many brothers who surrounded the gate of the county government scattered in all directions. Fighting the rich and helping the poor in the county town. This is true.” The magistrate got what he wanted again, and his small eyes shone like two stars. "Speak! Speak!" Dacheng stopped talking, looked up to the sky and sighed: "If all the officials in the world are like Mr. Bai, then we and the common people will be very lucky! If you let me, Ruan, speak ill of Mr. Bai against my conscience, I would rather die than obey." !" "Then, let me ask you again, you said that..." Ruan Dacheng felt that his confession was enough to convict Bo Qinruo, so he didn't want to continue the play.He suddenly stood up from the grand teacher's chair, threw the teacup in his hand on the ground and said angrily: "Say fucking dick! I'm tired, I don't want to talk anymore! I'm going back to sleep. After waking up, I should be killed!" Do as you please!" The magistrate is really a kind-hearted person. Seeing that Ruan Dacheng didn't want to talk anymore, he stopped the interrogation, ordered the master to hand over the written statement, and said to Ruan Dacheng: "Can you read words?" Dacheng said arrogantly: "I, Ruan, a scholarly family, how can I not know how to read?" "Then, please go through the confession carefully to see if there is any mistake? Today, your surname Ruan is happy, and you dare to act; the prefect is also happy, and I have never tortured you. After reading the letter, I will not regret it in the future!" Ruan Dacheng took the confession form, glanced at it hastily, and mocked the master standing in front of him: "Your writing is really bad. If I am the prefect of Linjiang, I can only ask you to mention it to me." Urinal." Master's face was blushing, but he didn't dare to attack. "Get a pen, I'll draw a bet!" After signing the signature and drawing the pledge, Ruan Dacheng kicked over the grand teacher's chair he had been sitting on, and went out under the escort of several yamen servants. When he went out, he heard the magistrate's loud voice: "and I'll bring Du Tianxing to the hall!" When Du Tianxing was dragged into the lobby by two tiger-like criminal servants, the first thing he saw was a pair of sticks thrown down the hall. The sticks were a little red, slightly bent in the middle, and dripping wet. I have served many brothers surnamed Hong in a day and a night.Looking to the right along the clamp stick, he looked at the toy tied with hemp rope and scattered on the ground, the toy was smeared with blood.Looking up, I saw two rows of dark purple boards and sticks protruding unevenly, like a wall made of wooden fences. Du Tianxing didn't see anyone - including the magistrate sitting in the lobby facing him.As soon as the two prison guards holding him back let go, he swayed and barely stopped. "Kneel down!" The magistrate slapped the gavel and stopped drinking sharply. The two rows of yamen servants under the hall also cheered for the magistrate with a thunderous voice. Du Tianxing still didn't see the magistrate, and still didn't see the government officials standing in two rows. He looked around, first looked at the golden plaque on the magistrate's head, then twisted his body and walked towards him I looked around, as if looking for something long lost. "Kneel down!" Another voice cut off. Du Tianxing didn't hear it.He turned around completely and pointed his butt wrapped in rags to the magistrate. The magistrate couldn't bear it anymore, he threw down a fire stick viciously, and shouted angrily: "Bravely rebelling against the thief! How dare you be so presumptuous and disrespectful when you are about to die! First, you will be punished by me for 30 years, and then you can reason!" A few yamen servants rushed over and pushed Du Tianxing down effortlessly, "cracking and crackling", allowing Du Tianxing to experience the taste of killing power first. After the fight, Du Tianxing still did not kneel.He staggered and wanted to stand up, but when he was halfway down, he staggered and fell down again.He just sat up on the ground, letting his bloody buttocks stick to the wet ground below the hall. It hurts, but he bears it.He stared indifferently at the fat face of the prefect. He imagined the fat face of the prefect as a pig's head. There's nothing to talk about with a stupid pig. He doesn't want to talk. The magistrate asked: "Who is kneeling down?" Du Tianxing was sitting on the ground and didn't kneel at all. Therefore, he believed that the prefect Zhu didn't ask him.He looked up at the beams of the roof where the vermilion paint was peeling off. The magistrate patted the gavel again: "Who is kneeling down? Whose name is it? Where is the family name? Report it quickly." Du Tianxing still ignored it, and only looked at the beam more carefully. A clerk had to answer on his behalf: "Master Huicha, the rebel's surname is Du Shizhong, and his name is Tianxing. He is from the Ruan family in this county. He is the best friend of the Ruan thief! , failed in repeated trials, and joined the bandits in rebellion and participated in the plan, it is really a heinous crime!" The magistrate asked again: "Du Tianxing, when did you meet Ruan Dacheng, Qi Mingda and other bandit chiefs? When did you plan to rebel, and what ideas did you come up with? Tell me the truth!" Du Tianxing still looked at his roof beams. The magistrate was so angry that he slapped the gavel again: "Bold rebel, can you hear what the prefect asked you? Are you deaf and dumb?" The magistrate is smart and insightful.When interrogating Ruan Dacheng, he knew at a glance that Ruan Dacheng was a tough guy, and he couldn't use torture.But for Du Tianxing, he thought that he could serve him with a big torture stick.He believed in his own eyesight and judgment, and he believed that the frail scholar in front of him could not stand the torture of severe punishment, and eventually even his own parents would confess. The master of the magistrate ordered the punishment to serve him. Using a pincer and a stick, the skinny Du Tianxing was tortured to death twice, but he still didn't say a word.His dark purple mouth seemed to be nailed to death with iron nails. The magistrate had to admit his failure. The magistrate was forced to change the way of interrogation. This is unpleasant.However, the success of interrogating Ruan Dacheng greatly encouraged him. Although he was unhappy, he still hoped that Du Tianxing in front of him would be as smart as Ruan Dacheng, and give him all the confessions he needed, so that he could escape from death , Strangling opponents in the officialdom. After waking Du Tianxing up with cold water, the magistrate ordered his servants to bring Du Tianxing the grand master's chair that Ruan Dacheng had sat on, and asked someone to put a cotton cushion on the grand master's chair for Du Tianxing to sit down. Du Tianxing sat down. He vaguely heard the magistrate speaking in a slow and soft voice, the tone and timbre were good, with a lot of breath coming from his dantian. "Du Tianxing, the prefect admires your integrity. As a scholar and scholar, there are very few people with your backbone! Hmm! The prefect also heard that you are highly educated and talented, so the prefect really takes pity on you Now, you just need to speak up and tell the truth about the plot of the treason, well, the magistrate will go to the court to reduce your guilt and save your life. How? Say it! Say it! Don’t be afraid!" Du Tianxing's bloody face was expressionless, like a wooden man.He turned his blank face to the magistrate, and stared at the fat face of the magistrate with two gloomy eyes sunken deep in the eye sockets, as if he wanted to shoot two holes out of the magistrate's face with his murderous gaze. The magistrate is naturally not afraid. The magistrate is not as knowledgeable as him. The master showed half of his broken teeth, smiled faintly, and asked, "Are you Ruan Dacheng's military advisor? Huh? Without you, Ruan Dacheng wouldn't have made such a fuss, right?" Seeing that Du Tianxing didn't answer, the scribes around Du Tianxing had to answer for him again: "He is indeed Ruan Dacheng's military advisor, and many of the postings scattered around Jinkou were planned and written by him, and some were written by him at the behest of others! Qingpu County The student members He Yuanju, Zhang Binglin, and Liu Fuzhi all offered him!" The magistrate sighed and said: "Look, what kind of a tough guy are you when others have confessed to you! If you don't say a word, the court will not be able to convict you of treason? Tell me! Tell me, you What kind of planning was carried out before the incident? Is the relief of money just an excuse? How is Chen Rongjun's political reputation in the past?" The scribe couldn't answer these questions, so he could only yell at Du Tianxing: "Say it! Say it quickly! The magistrate is asking you! Are you courting death or something?" The magistrate slapped the gavel and scolded the clerk: "Presumptuous! The magistrate is talking to Du Tianxing, do you need to intervene? If you talk too much, I will beat you, a slave!" The tone dropped again, and the words were full of tenderness, which was given to Du Tianxing, the traitor: "Tell me, huh? Was the relief money stolen by Chen Rongjun? Are you making a fuss about it? Ruan Dacheng just now It has already been confessed, and it is said that the relief money was not embezzled, but was plundered by the investigation committee member Bo Qinruo, is this true?" Du Tianxing's bruised and chapped lips moved, like a dead leaf trembling in the cold wind, as if he wanted to speak. The magistrate was excited, and hurriedly asked the teacher to prepare his pen and ink, lay out the paper, and prepare to record the confession.He believed that Du Tianxing had understood what he meant, and before he died, he would bite Paqinruo tightly.This is what he needs. Unexpectedly, Du Tianxing moved his lips several times, but he didn't utter a single word. "Say, you did say it!" Du Tianxing didn't seem to be able to speak anymore, his lips moved again, and then he squeezed out a word between his teeth: "Wine!" The magistrate hurriedly poked his head down and asked, "Do you want to drink?" Du Tianxing stopped talking again. "What wine do you want?" Du Tianxing still didn't speak. The magistrate hurriedly ordered: "Get some wine and drink with Du Tianxing!" A altar of good liquor was brought, and the lobby was filled with the aroma of the wine.The servant poured out a large bowl and handed it to Du Tianxing. Du Tianxing stretched out his bloody hand that had been clamped by the clamp to catch it. The wine got on his bloody hand. With a shake of his hand, the bowl fell to the ground, and it shattered, spilling the wine. all clean. The smell of wine in the lobby is getting stronger. The servant poured another bowl, held it in both hands, and fed it to Du Tianxing.Du Tianxing drank happily, the liquid flowed down his lips and his bulging neck. After he finished drinking, the magistrate repeated the question he had just asked with ulterior motives. Du Tianxing still didn't say anything. Only then did the magistrate know that he had been duped, and let the damned traitor in front of him spoil two bowls of good liquor.In a rage, the magistrate rushed down to the lobby and slapped Du Tianxing more than ten times with his own hands, but in the end he couldn't get a second word out of Du Tianxing's mouth. The magistrate was hard and soft, all failed. Sir was very tired and very sad. The third person to stand trial was Mr. Mo Yide, the shadow of Qingpu Baoji Church.Mr. Shadow is undoubtedly wronged.Yesterday evening, Mr. Shadow went to an old widow's house near Qingpu Town to fool around.On the way there, I accidentally bumped into the bandits retreating from Jinkou City. I saw a lot of baggage left by the bandits when they fled, so I became greedy and followed to pick them up. As a result, I carried them on my shoulders and carried them in my hands. , hung around his neck, and was caught by the officers and soldiers chasing all the way-all stolen goods!This is really unlucky. As soon as he entered the lobby, Mr. Ying's knees became weak, and he didn't let the magistrate give him any good words to persuade him, so he "plopped" and knelt down softly, very well-behaved.The kneeling place is also just right, neither near nor far from the magistrate. Mr. Shadow has experience! The magistrate is very satisfied, and his first impression of Mr. Shadow is good.However, despite the good impression, Gavel was still to be shot. At the first sound of the gavel, Mr. Ying articulated his surname, place of origin, home location, age and identity clearly and neatly, reporting one by one. Even if the master didn't ask him, he said as long as he thought of it. . The magistrate suspected that he was the bandit's strategist, so he was a little wary of his unusual obedience, and he lied to himself: "Mo Yide, just now the bandit leaders Ruan Dacheng and Du Tianxing have issued a confession and confessed to you, saying that you participated Are you convicted of Qingpu's rebellion?" Mr. Ying's face was as white as paper, he kowtowed indiscriminately, and said repeatedly: "Master Zhifu! You are wronged! The little one is wronged! The little one never participated in the conspiracy!" The magistrate said angrily: "The prefect has solid evidence, and you have taken all the stolen goods from you. How dare you deny it! Serious punishment!" Mr. Ying was dizzy with fright. He knew that he would not be able to clean himself up even if he jumped into the Yellow River. Ruan Dacheng and Du Tianxing confessed to him, but he was seized by the officers and soldiers. No matter how he defended himself, it was useless. Mr. Ying knows the current affairs, he knows the severity of the punishment, and the taste of the punishment. He tasted it in this place three years ago, and he decided to plead guilty first to avoid the pain of flesh and blood: "Master! The magistrate ! Little guilty! Convicted!" "What crime did you commit? Tell us the truth!" Mr. Ying thought about it painfully, knelt straight, and said to the magistrate: "The young man is greedy for money, and when he saw that the traitor retreated to Qingpu and threw away a lot of property, he robbed him without shame, laws and laws. Pick it up!" "Is that all?" "Returning to Mr. Cha, the young one doesn't know the etiquette and righteousness. He has an affair with the widow of Zhenbei Qin. It has been ... for more than three years. Yesterday, the young one went to find the Qin family and walked to the Zhenbei official. On the road, I met..." The magistrate exhaled a loud breath from his nostrils: "Bold and unreasonable! How dare you play tricks with the prefect! I asked about your treason, not who you had an affair with!" "Yes! Yes! The little one is guilty! Guilty!" "Say it! Tell me all about the plot of the treason!" "Yes Yes!" Thinking about it carefully, I still feel that there is no way to talk about it.He really didn't participate in the rebellion. I want to say it, but I'm afraid it's not like it!He really didn't understand why the bastard Ruan Dacheng wanted to confess to him. "My lord, it's true that a small crime is true! It's just...just that the crime of a villain is not a crime of treason. There is a saying that those who want to sin must be sinners, and those who are guilty may not necessarily be guilty. Small, small..." The magistrate was really angry, and shouted: "Prepare for a big punishment!" Mr. Ying was also impatient, leaned forward, crawled like a dog for two steps, and cried out to the magistrate: "Master Qingtian, I have never rebelled against you! Old Chen's parents in Chenzhi County love the people like their own sons, and they have always treated the magistrate. It’s not thin, and the young one has never been wronged by the government, so how could he rebel? Master Qingtian Mingjian!” Hearing this, the magistrate was very happy, and asked: "Is Chen Rongjun, the magistrate of Chen County, really loving the people like a son?" "Yes, I dare not lie." "The bandit said that he was greedy and hid the relief money, but is it true?" Seeing that things had turned around, Mr. Ying desperately spoke good words for Mr. Chen's parents.He decided that to say that Mr. Chen's parents were good was to prove that he was good; Mr. Chen's parents were good people, so how could he turn against them?If he does not rebel, he is also an obedient citizen of the Qing Dynasty. "Returning to the master, as far as I know, the old parents are greedy and hid the money, it is purely framed by the gangsters, they are making up an excuse to plot rebellion!" "You say that the magistrate of Chen County is not corrupt, do you have evidence?" "This... the other little ones don't know about it, but they know that the old parents let go of the food and set up porridge fields in the four townships. This is true." "Well, then, let me ask you again: You are an old man from Qingpu. Since the magistrate of Chen County took office in Jinkou, how has your political reputation been in the past seven years?" Mr. Ying made a sincere moving certificate: "Well, the people all say that Chen's parents are the masters of Qingtian! The old parents are honest and upright, don't say indecent words, don't take ill-gotten gains, rectify the world, and be the masters of the people, then... there is nothing to say You said it! I’m just like a villain like me, I’m sorry for old Chen’s parents! I really shouldn’t have gone with that Qin family..." The magistrate was very satisfied, he slightly changed his view of Mr. Shadow, and decided that this old guy was not the leader of some bandit, but just a young man who participated in the riot. The magistrate ordered the yamen servant to take Mr. Ying down. Next, five or six criminals were interrogated like a revolving door, including the bald Zhao Laosan, the one-eyed Mr. Fei, and Sun Yihu and Sun Goupi.This group of brothers surnamed Hong was smarter and smarter than the other. They didn't need to be inspired by the magistrate, so they sang praises for the deceased magistrate Chen's parents. good people.All of them claimed that they were wronged, and all of them said that they were wrongly detained.The magistrate knew it in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and let them talk nonsense. Until noon of this day, the inside story of the Hongmen had not been revealed yet, and the magistrate was very satisfied. He believed that he had caught the handle of the investigation and relief committee member Bo Qinruo, and could take the next step...
