Chapter 20: Getting rid of fame

Yue Su asked the other neighbors one by one, and it was not until dusk that he finished asking them all. Those who were there that day all answered honestly and signed their names. The situation described was basically consistent with what Tian said. I asked if they could remember it.

When we were clearing out the two servants who were carrying Mrs. Zhang home, let alone anyone who knew them. Anyone who often hangs out on the street would know that these two boys are the thugs of the young master of the Wu family. One is named Cui Gui, nicknamed Ji Ming.

The other one is called Diao Liang, nicknamed White-Eyed Wolf.

After letting all the people go home, he said that he would send officers to ask them to come to the court for questioning tomorrow morning. He also asked people to take Guo Kai to the back office and find a room to rest. Then he wrote the case to the prefect office and wrote down the doubts one by one.

It was also noted that Guo Kai's tongue was cut out in prison, the two jailers who committed the crime were silenced, and the case needs to be re-tried.

That night when they had dinner with Jin Chan and Tie Qiu, they both agreed that Guo Kai must have been unjust, but they couldn't figure out why Zhang died. Yue Su smiled and said: "This matter is not difficult to handle.

Watch me bring the Wu family members to court tomorrow to find out the truth."

Yue Su has been a policeman for so many years, and he has a good way of interrogating prisoners. Ancient people regarded any "Record of Purge" as a treasure, but in Yue Su's eyes, those are outdated things. Modern police interrogate cases,

Not needed at all.

***************************************************

****

Early the next morning, Yue Su woke up, had breakfast, and came to the lobby with Jin Chan and Tie Qiu. He sent an order to the three squads of yamen servants. With one order, he issued a fire lot, asking Tong Zhou and Jin Chan to take the lead.

, took eighty people to the Wu Mansion, and wanted to bring the entire Wu family to the lobby. He also ordered several officers to bring Guo Kai's neighbors to the lobby.

In broad daylight, the police officers came to pick up people. No matter how ruthless the Wu family was, they would not dare not go. Fighting against the police officers was tantamount to treason. Don't look at the fact that Yangshuo County only has a hundred or so police officers, but there are also troops from the Inspection Department.

, these are all following the orders of the county magistrate. Once a fight breaks out, it will take only a stick of incense to arrive, and everyone in the Wu Mansion will be slaughtered.

There were hundreds of people in the Wu Mansion, including servants, maids, and women, and all of them were taken away. Such a big movement had already alarmed Yangshuo County, and people from the surrounding area came to join in the fun. Those who lived far away heard that

When he heard the news, he came over in a hurry. The Wu family is the largest family in the county, and the people in the county government have always been respectful to the Wu family. It can be said that it is a feat to bring everyone in the Wu family to the court this time.

The common people came in droves and followed behind, heading to the county government office together to see what the great master wanted to do.

Although the court hall is not small, it is impossible to accommodate more than a hundred people. Many servants of the Wu family were standing outside the hall. People gathered outside the second door, and it was packed to the brim.

At this time, Yue Su went up to the lobby, sat behind the public case, knocked the gavel tree heavily, and the officials on both sides shouted loudly: "Might... Wu..."

As soon as Tang Wei shouted, the neighbors of Guo Kai's family were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground one by one. The people in Wu Mansion were also timid. The maids and women all knelt down, but the servants and thugs only knelt down halfway. Some of them saw the master.

If Master He doesn't kneel down, he just stands firm.

"In court, in addition to having a reputation, you must kneel down in front of me regardless of whether you are justified or not. Those of you who are standing must have a reputation." Yue Su looked at the Wu family who did not kneel coldly.

The man suddenly shouted loudly: "Do you know what the crime is of pretending to be a famous person in the lobby!"

Wu Kui knew that this time Yue Su was serious. Today was different from the past. If he failed to kneel down like last time, he would probably be humiliated in court and get a beating. He had no choice but to kneel on the ground. He knelt down.

Everyone else who dared not to kneel down quickly knelt down one after another. The only one who didn't kneel down was Wu Bin, who was standing next to Wu Kui.

Yue Su pointed at Wu Bin and asked, "Who are you? Why don't you kneel down when you see me?"

"Reporting to your lord, student Wu Bin is not a scholar. I wonder if your lord would like to check." Wu Bin said calmly.

Seeing Wu Bin being so calm, Yue Su smiled slightly and said, "That's not necessary." Then he asked loudly, "Which of you is Cui Gui and which one is Diao Liang? Stand up for me."

After the voice settled down, no one below stood up. Yue Su waited for a moment, and when he saw someone standing up, he said angrily: "Don't the Wu family have people named Cui Gui and Diao Liang?"

"Replying to your lord, there were indeed two servants named Cui Gui and Diao Liang in the house, but they were expelled from the house two months ago for stealing." Wu Bin said with a smile.

"Do you know where their home is?" Yue Su asked.

"These two people were homeless people on the street with no family. I took them into the house when I saw how pitiful they were. Who would have thought that not only did they not know how to repay gratitude, but they also committed roosters and dogs, which is really chilling.

"If you don't believe me, please investigate in detail." Wu Bin still answered calmly.

"According to what you said, does anyone know where these two people are now?" Yue Su stared at Wu Bin.

"That's how it should be."

Yue Su glanced at Tong Zhou who was standing aside and said, "Tong Baotou, can everyone in the Wu family be brought to the hall?"

"Your Excellency, I have sent people to search twice to make sure that everyone in the house is present." Tong Zhou bowed and replied.

Yue Su nodded, and then said: "All the men should stand in a line outside the lobby."

Above the lobby, Yue Su was the sky, so the servants of the Wu family had no choice but to follow the instructions and stand in a line outside the lobby. Yue Su then said to Jin Chan: "You take the neighbors of Guo Kai's family out to identify people. It doesn't matter whether they are there or not.

Answer him face to face and take him to the back office to ask questions one by one. By the way, bring Guo Kai along and ask him to identify himself."

Yue Su did this because he was afraid that these people would be afraid of the Wu family and afraid of revenge, so they would not dare to tell the truth.

Jin Chan took the order and asked someone to take Guo Kai with him. He led Guo Kai's neighbors out to identify them, and then went to the back office to interrogate them one by one. As a result, the answer they got was very unified, indeed no. Even Guo Kai shook his head.

After Jin Chan returned to life, Yue Su pondered for a moment and said, "You guys kneel here for now. I will go to the back. Jin Chan, you come with me."

After saying that, Yue Su left his seat, went to Nuang Pavilion with Jin Chan, and whispered a few words in his ear.

"I understand." Jin Chan nodded repeatedly.

Yue Su smiled with satisfaction and led him back to the lobby. He sat back down and said to Wu Bin: "Wu Bin, you said that Cui Gui and Diao Liang were expelled from the house two months ago. I want to see your house's account books."

Above, the wages of the two of them should not be recorded. Jin Captou, you should go to his house with the accountant of Wufu now to get the account book and let me check it."

"yes."

The accountant of the Wu family was an old man in his fifties. Since he was an accountant, he must be dressed differently from ordinary servants. Jin Chan immediately found him, ordered ten detectives, and escorted him to Wu Mansion.

Wu Bin really didn't expect that Yue Su actually had such a skill. Yesterday, someone said that Yue Su mentioned Guo Kai's neighbor. In the evening, Wu Bin sent someone to inquire, and someone told the content of Yue Su's question, so for the sake of safety, let him

The two of them hid. However, they didn't expect that the old man would have the intention to check the house's account books. The monthly money for the past two months was clearly recorded in the account. Of course, Cui

The names of Gui and Diao Liang.

Seeing Yue Su like this, he had no choice but to think about how to escape.

After enough time to hold a stick of incense, Jin Chan returned to the accounting office. The clerk held a large stack of account books in his hands.

Putting the account book on the public case, Jin Chan came to Yue Su, whispered a few words in his ear, and then stepped aside.

Yue Su picked up the top book with a smile on his face, flipped through it from the back to the front, suddenly threw the account book at Wu Bin, and shouted loudly: "Wu Bin, you are so brave, how dare you

You lied to me in court. You said Cui Gui and Diao Liang were fired two months ago, but they still have their monthly money and their autographs in the past two months. How do you explain it?"

"Reporting to your lord, maybe... maybe the accounting office made a mistake..." Wu Bin said.

"It's a mistake. Can the autographs of the two of them be wrong as well? The signatures of these two people in the past two months are completely consistent with the signatures in the past. You think that because you are famous, you can talk nonsense in the lobby and deceive me.

"?" Yue Su became even more excited at the end. He knocked on the gavel tree hard and shouted loudly: "I will revoke your honor in front of you. Come on! Pull Wu Bin aside and repeat.

Strike forty big boards to serve as a warning to others!" After saying this, the four fire sticks fell to the ground.

"yes!"

Now, all the officers under Yue Su have seen the methods of this great master. Anyone who dares to disobey or say even half a word of "no" will be fired immediately.

"Sir... the student was wronged, and the student did not know..."

Although Wu Bin shouted, the officers only recognized the fire sign. At that moment, four officers came forward, pulled Wu Bin aside, pushed him to the ground, picked up the board and "cracked" and greeted Wu Bin.

Wu Bin was also a martial artist, but he didn't dare to resist in court. He was able to get acquainted by relying on his body. He was hardened for forty times, but his buttocks were beaten to a bloody pulp. Wu Kui on the side was heartbroken when he saw his son being beaten.

, but there was nothing he could do. A pair of eyes stared at Yue Su fiercely, and he probably had the idea of ​​eating Yue Susheng now.

"Wu Bin, I'm here to ask you again, where are these two people now?" Yue Su asked loudly.

Wu Bin endured the pain, raised his head and replied: "I had already issued a message to expel these two people from the house, but I did not announce it publicly. It is assumed that the accountant did not know about it and allowed these two people to falsely receive two months' monthly payment.

It’s true that I haven’t seen these two people for two months, and I hope you will take notice.”

"Are you using these words to deceive a three-year-old child? If you don't follow the truth again, don't blame me. Someone is coming! Prepare your stick!"

In the court, the use of punishment is also very particular, especially severe punishments such as clamping sticks, which generally should not be used lightly. However, this is only for upright officials, like some bad officials, who often use this to subdue them.

Yue Su's attack on Wu Bin was indeed justified. You committed perjury in court and deserved to be beaten. Now that the evidence is conclusive, you still dare to deny it. This is not asking for a beating.

"Sir, please wait!" Just as the officer was throwing the stick into the hall, the accountant of Wu Mansion suddenly shouted.

Yue Su glanced at him and asked, "What do you have to say?"

"Sir, Cui Gui and Diao Liang are indeed not in the house. I received the monthly payment for those two months." After saying that, Mr. Accountant walked to Wu Kui's side and cried: "Master, it's all my fault.

, the old slave did not know that these two people were expelled from the house by the young master, and the monthly payment of these two people was made on the account. Unexpectedly, he did not see these two people receiving the money at the beginning of the month, and only after asking about it later did he find out the whole story. The old slave was momentarily confused.

Being obsessed with money, I imitated their handwriting and received the monthly payment privately. Last month, seeing that the master and young master didn't notice, greed started again, so I did it again and received the monthly payment myself. I hope you can forgive me.

crime."

"You are a bitch slave, but you killed me and your young master..." Wu Kui immediately burst into tears, grabbing the accountant's shoulders and shaking him back and forth.

"Bah!" Yue Su slapped the koan hard and said loudly: "Don't act in front of me. You said that the monthly money of the two of them was obtained by you. Is it you who pretended to receive it? The handwriting on it is exactly the same as before. Is it true?

Can you imitate it?"

"Sir, to be honest, I have been working as an accountant for many years, and I can imitate the handwriting of many people in the house. If you don't believe me, I can demonstrate it." The accountant said with certainty.

"Okay!" Yue Su said loudly: "Give him paper and pen!"

The clerk's office immediately took the paper and pen and asked the accountant to write the names of the two people. After writing, he presented it to Yue Su. Yue Su had someone pick up the account book and compare it. After checking, it was really difficult to tell the authenticity.

In fact, the accountant actually did a lot of things in the house to get paid monthly. Many servants and part-time workers in the house were dismissed after not working for a month because they were afraid of the Wu family and did not dare to come to collect the money.

Mr. Accountant then paid the wages, imitated the handwriting, and received it privately. Cui Gui and Diao Liang's names were already familiar to him, and it was not difficult to write them. It would be difficult to imitate them. I said it in court today because I was afraid that the master would find out about the settlement in the future.

, and furthermore, you can make a great contribution, so why not do it.

Yue Su took a deep breath, put the paper aside, and asked: "Counter, since you are the one who falsely received the monthly payment for the two of them, why didn't you tell them earlier, and why didn't you tell them only when I was about to impose severe punishment?"

The accountant had already thought of an excuse and immediately reported: "Sir, I didn't say anything before because I was afraid of being blamed by the master. But seeing the young master being beaten, my conscience is really uneasy, so I dared to tell the truth. Please be clear to me."

"Hahahaha..." Yue Su laughed and said, "What a good slave. It's hard to have such a good conscience."

After saying that, Yue Su stopped talking and turned over the Wu family's ledger. The people kneeling below didn't know what Yue Su meant, but they didn't dare to say anything, so they could only kneel down honestly. After a while,
Chapter completed!
