Chapter 107
Revealing Trump’s trump card
Seeing Zou Feng saying that he didn't know her, Zimei smiled bitterly on one leg and said: "Even if you are blind in one eye, the other one is bright, right? You shouldn't tell lies with your eyes open. My second sister
Man, I have gone through life and death for your Zou family, but in the end you still have the nerve to say this, then okay, let’s talk about it..."
"The young lady only heard about the blood-dropped agate that the young master said he bought from Mr. Zhang at a high price, and did not see it with her own eyes. The young master went around robbing babies, and my sisters were not involved in this matter. It was also just hearsay. However, Zou
When your Excellency sent people to kill Wen Tingsong and other seven families, we sisters went out to kill the young master named Liu. Later, my two sisters went to the prefect Miyanomori's house to take charge of surveillance.
After Gong Naisen's organization was exposed, we were ordered to kill him and silence him. After killing Gong Naisen, we went to Tongxu County and killed Zhang and Liu. In November last year, we went out with the young master to hunt down Sui.
The young master and Mr. Wen killed Mr. Sui on a mountain road and chased him all the way to Yanshi County. On top of the restaurant, they saw Wen Tingsong blocking the street and crying for injustice, so they used the tactic of attacking from the east and attacking the west. They went downstairs to assassinate Mr. Yue and took the opportunity to kill Wen Tingsong.
After this incident, we were hunted down, and Zou Twelve’s right hand was cut off by Lord Yue’s men. At the critical moment, the Dragon Slayer Gang found the door and threatened to join forces to fight out of the city. During the battle to seize the door,
, one of the young master’s eyes was blinded by an arrow. If we hadn’t fought to protect him, he would have died there long ago. My sister saved the young master’s life in the first battle. Why did the young master forget so quickly?
…”
As soon as Zimei said this, she was so tired that she started to sweat. While she was breathing, Zou Feng shouted loudly: "Nonsense... nonsense... nothing at all... my eyes collapsed during the Chinese New Year firecrackers."
Yes, all the servants in the house can testify..."
"Bah!" Yue Su threw the gavel tree down and shouted sternly: "I haven't asked you yet. Shut your mouth. Otherwise, I will blame the Headquarters for being rude to you! Zimei, go on!"
"When we escorted the young master back to the house, we did not disclose it to the public. The young master was blind in one eye, and we also hid it from the servants in the house. It was not until the Chinese New Year that we deliberately staged a scene where the young master was blinded by firecrackers.
The people in the house didn’t know the truth or the lie, and they really thought that the young master was blind at that time. Now, since the young master still says that I am talking nonsense, I can only provide some evidence that the young master cannot deny. In the young master’s case,
In the yard, there is a dry well with a dark room inside. Zou Twelve, who had one of his hands cut off, and another dead soldier have been hiding in it. I am not sure whether they are still there, but as long as they
If you get out of the dry well, you will definitely find the dark room. If I were not from the house, how could I even know this secret? Mr. Yue, you can send someone to check now to see if what the little girl said is true. By the way, Zou
Young Master, have you been wondering why I didn't die? Let me tell you, my sister has been killed by the master. I was hit by a dart and almost died. Thanks to Mr. Yue's timely rescue, I was able to survive.
One life. For the sake of my poor sister, I decided to abandon the darkness and turn to the light!"
After Zimei finished speaking, she gasped again. Her words made Zou Feng's heart tremble, but Zou Jiaren could still maintain his original demeanor.
Yue Su, who was above, smiled slightly and said: "Tong Zhou, Yin Zhu, you two immediately take people to Zou Mansion to look for the secret passage. If found, Zou Mansion will be sealed immediately!"
"I obey!" Tong Zhou and Yin Zhu immediately ordered their troops and rushed to Zou's house.
At this time, Yue Su looked at Zou Feng again and said: "Master Zou, if you said that you found a secret passage, how would you explain it? Wouldn't you dare to deny it and say that you don't know Zimei? Don't think that the temper of this department is very bad.
Okay, once this secret passage is discovered, if you still dare not to admit it, I will let you taste the severe punishment of the governor's Yamen today. Let's see how many you can endure!"
Zou Feng was so determined that he simply lay down on the ground without saying a word. Everyone else present was frightened after hearing Zimei's story. No one expected that Yanshi County assassination
The Governor's case was actually committed by the Zou family. They are really courageous. Compared with this case, other cases are nothing at all. As long as this case is confirmed, the Zou family will all
Beheaded.
There was silence in the hall. After a long time, a police officer reported that Tong Zhou was back. Capt. Tong found many corpses in the dark room of Dry Well and brought them back. Capt. Yin had already led people to seal off the Zou family.
All the superiors and subordinates were imprisoned in the mansion.
Yue Su nodded, dismissed the officers, and waited for Tong Zhou to come back. Soon, Tong Zhou led his people back to the lobby, bowed first, and then placed the corpses one by one on the lobby.
Tie Qiu stood aside and saw the man with the severed hand at a glance. Then he pointed at the body and shouted loudly: "Sir, I know this guy. He is the assassin whose hand I cut off!"
Yue Su smiled lightly and said, "Pull Zou Feng up for me!"
"Yes!" Two officers came forward and lifted up Zou Feng who was lying on the ground. Then, Yue Su shouted loudly: "Zou Feng, now that things have happened, what else do you have to say?"
Zou Feng closed his eyes and said loudly: "I don't know!"
"Well, you don't know. You can't forgive me for being punished, but you're not willing to take the punishment. Come here, get the stick!"
After giving the order, the officer immediately took action. As soon as the stick was clamped, Zou Feng screamed in pain and passed out. However, it was just a drizzle. The officer woke him up and took the finger clamp.
It's a leg clamp and a finger clamp.
Zou Feng was also a second-generation official. When had he ever been subjected to such punishments, he thought that he would not be punished even if he was beaten to death. When the severe punishment really hit his body and the pain was excruciating, he just thought about being released as soon as possible, and he couldn't care about anything else. When
After being pinched and knocked unconscious three times, he finally howled loudly in a voice as loud as a butchered pig: "Sir... I'll attack..."
Seeing that Zou Feng was willing to attack, Yue Su waved his hand, motioning the officer to step aside, and said, "It's really dishonest not to fight! Tell me."
Zou Feng raised his head with difficulty and was about to speak, but Zou Jiaren stood up, rushed forward, held his hands in his hands, and said, "Master Yue, I have something to say."
At this time, he no longer called Yue Su by his name, nor did he regard himself as his mentor. He directly used the attitude of a subordinate towards his superiors.
When King Zhou and others saw Zou Jiaren standing up, they all turned to look at him. They didn't know the secret, they were just connected here, but no one was a fool. They all knew that something big was going to happen today.
Yue Su naturally knew what Zou Jiaren wanted to say. He was planning a showdown with him, and what was supposed to come would eventually come. He smiled lightly and said, "Teacher, what do you want to say?"
"Master Yue, for being able to become an imperial envoy, governor of Henan, and a high official in the border areas, do you have to thank one person?" This was said very implicitly. Others may not understand what it means, but Yue Su understood it.
"It turns out that my teacher planned to say this." Yue Su stood up and said with a smile: "Teacher, what you are going to say next, the student already knows, but the national law is like a mountain and the laws of heaven are clear, how can you be partial to others! Teacher, what you want to say, wait.
The student council will speak for you next, but you should sit aside for now."
"Here comes someone!" Yue Su slapped the gongan with his palm and shouted loudly: "Master Zou, please sit down!"
"Yes!" Jin Chan immediately led two servants and sat Zou Jiaren on a chair.
Then, I heard Yue Su say loudly: "Zou Feng, don't think that your father can still protect you at this moment, now quickly recruit him!"
Zou Feng's fingers and legs are now in severe pain, and judging from Yue Su's posture, there is no room for negotiation. As long as he dares not to do it, he will be tortured. How can he bear this kind of torture?
The fragile will has long been wiped out by the stick. It is better to be tortured to death than to confess to death. On the mountain trail, the young master surnamed Sui couldn't bear the torture. He told Wen Tingsong's whereabouts. On this day, he couldn't bear the torture either.
, he wanted to tell all the truth, and he was really unhappy. At that moment, he said weakly: "Back then, I followed my father to Kaifeng to take office. After I arrived, I heard that the seventh son of Kaifeng was a local talent, so we made friends with him. One day
, while drinking, Zhang Ruze was drunk and said that there was a treasure at home, called Blood Agate. This treasure can be kept warm in winter and cool in summer, and it will prevent all diseases. There is also a legend that as long as it is filled with the blood of a baby,
It is full of agate, and if you sleep with it, you will live forever. I was crazy at the time and bought it at a high price. After I got the treasure, I was so powerful that I sent the dead men in the house to snatch the newly born baby everywhere to satisfy my own desires.
I was also dazzled by the age of immortality. When I learned that the wives of Brother Zhang and Brother Liu were about to give birth, I did not let them go and sent the dead men in the house to snatch them away. The two of them naturally thought that it was me.
, the Seventh Young Master united and prepared to file a complaint with the government. This matter was such a big deal, how could my father not know about it? In order to protect me and him, he sent people to kill the Seventh Young Master and his entire family..."
Zou Feng recounted the evil deeds he had done from beginning to end, including killing people and silencing them, and pretending to be the Dragon Slayer Gang to carry out assassinations. He explained everything in detail. It was roughly consistent with what Zimei said at the beginning. Even his father sent questions
God killed everyone in the house and threw them into the dry well and dark room. He also told the truth.
After listening to his story, both the officials present and the people listening outside were all dumbfounded. Especially outside, people soon shouted loudly: "Not as good as a beast!" "You beast!" "Master Yue chopped him off.
!”…
Among the many people, there were one or two who had lost their children. After hearing these words, they burst into tears and shouted in pain, "Kill this beast! Yue Qingtian, avenge my newly born child!"
"Kill him!"...
"Kill him!"...
The voices of the people were getting louder and louder, but Yue Su still stood calmly behind the public case, glanced at Zou Jiaren, and said: "Teacher, I call you this at the end. Your kindness will be deeply remembered by Yue Su. You
You are also a well-educated man who has read the books of saints and sages. Why can you sit back and ignore such things that are completely unconscionable? Instead, you cover up and condone them, leading to complaints today! The so-called cycle of heaven and justice, if you don't kill you, how can you be worthy of it?
How can those babies who died in vain be worthy of those innocent people who were silenced by you!"
"Come here! Take off Zou Jiaren's official uniform!" Yue Su finally shouted loudly.
Jin Chan was already at Zou Jiaren's side. After listening to Zou Feng's story, she was filled with indignation. When Yue Su gave the order, she immediately lifted Zou Jiaren up from the chair, stripped off his official uniform with the officer, and knelt down on the steps.
With.
Zou Jiaren was much more courageous than his son. He straightened his body proudly and said loudly: "Master Yue, aren't you afraid that I will reveal your old ways?".
"You don't need to say this, the Benbuyuan will speak for itself!" Yue Su said loudly: "The officials and people present listen to the truth, the Benbuyuan is the Jieyuan of the Huguang Provincial Examination, and obtained the title based on this, but this title was copied.
Yes, Mr. Zou found out about this matter at first, but did not expose it. Instead, he recommended me to become the magistrate of Yangshuo County and embark on an official career. This great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten by Yue Su! However, due to the laws of the country, Mr. Zou and his son did such a thing.
It is an act that is extremely unconscionable and harmful to moral integrity. Even if the truth is revealed today, our court will still enforce the law impartially!"
