Chapter 12 Appearance
At midnight, snoring could be heard in the courtyard of the prefecture's back office. I heard it was Detective Zhang Wei's birthday tonight, so I ordered several dishes at the restaurant and brought some jars of wine. I invited those who were on duty with him.
All the servants.
Everyone drank until nearly the second watch, and everyone was so drunk that they fell down and fell asleep.
The door of the room where Fang Cha was staying suddenly opened, and a figure crept out, closed the door, and walked toward the toilet.
The toilet was under the east wall. When Fang Cha walked outside the toilet door, he looked around and saw no one was there. He jumped up and hooked the roof and jumped out of the courtyard.
He seemed to be very familiar with the streets of Tongren, so he ran towards the west side of the street, passed through several intersections, and came to a larger mansion. This courtyard is the Tongpan Mansion, which is roughly the same layout as the prefect's Yamen.
Behind are residences.
Fang Cha banged on the door, and soon a servant came out and asked, "Who is it? Come to Tongxuan Mansion in the middle of the night and knock on the door!"
"If I ever ask to see the judge, please be sure to pass the message. My name is Fang Cha."
The servant responded and went in to announce the news. He came back and opened the door a moment later and said, "Master is waiting for you in the study. Come with me."
Led by his servant, Fang Cha came to the study of Tong Yan Ge Yong. Ge Yong asked the servant to step aside and left Fang Cha alone in the room.
"Fang Cha, aren't you in the magistrate's office? Why did you suddenly come to me? What happened?"
"Sir, something big has happened. This Lord Yue is really cunning. Today he interrogated Heizi and deliberately asked the princess to wear Fang Cai'er's clothes to confront Heizi. Heizi didn't know what Fang Cai'er looked like, so he mistakenly recognized the princess as Fang Cai'er, and he leaked
Get the details." Fang Cha reported truthfully what he saw during the day.
"I didn't expect that this Yue Su was really capable. He could actually get people from Duke Qian. I underestimated him. But that's okay. Heizi is very loyal to me. No matter how they torture him, he will always insist that he is
The people in Fangzhai will never sell us out." Ge Yong said with certainty.
"This is not accurate. Sir, you should make a decision early. After interrogating Heizi, Mr. Yue said that he has several punishments that make life worse than death. Even an iron man cannot survive it." At that moment, Fang Cha said.
Tell exactly what Yue Su said later today.
After hearing this, Ge Yong pondered for a moment and said: "These criminal methods are exclusive to Jinyiwei. It seems that there are no ready-made tools in the prefect prison..."
As soon as I said this, I heard a "clang" sound outside, as if the courtyard door was smashed open, followed by a series of dog barks.
"Who are you who dare to break into Tongpan Mansion without permission? Do you want to rebel?"
"Damn it, my lord is the prefect of Tongren, and the general magistrate is nothing. If you don't want to die, get out of my way!"
"Woof woof woof..."
With the sound of dogs barking and hurried footsteps, the visitor was getting closer and closer to the study. Ge Yong could hear clearly that there were quite a few people there, at least dozens of them. When he heard the words "Tongren Prefecture"
His first reaction was that he had fallen into a trap!
Ge Yong glanced at Fang Cha and said, "Hurry and hide over there!"
"Yes." Fang Cha panicked and followed the direction of Ge Yong's finger, preparing to go behind the screen.
Who would have thought that when he turned around, Ge Yong stepped forward and bullied him, and now he had a shining dagger in his hand.
"Die, you loser!"
With a "chi" sound, the dagger was inserted into Fang Cha's back.
"You..." Fang Cha never imagined in his wildest dreams that Ge Yong would do something like this. He only said one word and fell forward.
Ge Yong took advantage of the situation and took out the dagger, then stabbed it into his heart.
"Peng!" He fell to the ground and was no longer alive. Ge Yong understood that Fang Cha had fallen into Yue Su's trick of luring the snake out of the hole, and now he had both the stolen goods and the stolen goods, so he only had to block the two of them in his study.
, he was unable to defend himself, not to mention that he was not innocent in the first place. After being caught, he knew very well what kind of punishment he would receive in the lobby. Rather than being humiliated, it would be better to die.
Not a moment after he fell to the ground, the door to the study room was kicked open. The first person to rush in was Tie Qiu. Behind him were Yue Su and Ruan Aoyue, who was leading the wolfdog.
Yue Su always believed that one of Fang Ji and Fang Cha must be related to the mastermind of this case. Maybe both of them were bad people. But he could never be sure and was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he came up with this idea. Deliberately
Expose the assassin in front of them for lying, and then say that he has a way to make the assassin confess. If the two of them really have an affair with an outsider, they will definitely be upset.
During the watch, Yue Su found Ruan Aoyue and asked her to borrow her dog. He was afraid that the other party would lose his trace if he hid the secret. If there was a dog, it would be much easier to find the person and he would never let the other party slip away.
Everything was as Yue Su expected. Jin Chan was responsible for tracking Fang Cha. Yue Su took Ruan Aoyue, Tie Qiu and fifty officers to hide behind. As soon as Fang Cha made a move, he would immediately pursue him. When they followed Fang Cha to Tongxuan Mansion, Yue Su
Without even hesitating, he directly asked people to smash open the door with the hammer prepared in advance, and then swarmed in. Anyway, I am the biggest in Tongren Mansion, so you are nothing. The wolf dog led the way, and everyone went straight to Ge Yong.
Yue Su never expected that Ge Yong would be so ruthless and ruthless, so he reacted immediately, killing first, then finding out who was behind him, and then taking action on his own.
"What a happy death!" Tie Qiu inspected the bodies of the two people and after confirming that they were dead, he spat angrily.
Although Yue Su was angry, he was much calmer than Tie Qiu. He immediately shouted: "Jin Chan, tie up everyone in the house, old and young, and interrogate them severely. Then lead people to conduct a detailed search!"
"yes!"
There was such a big commotion in Tongxuan Mansion, and the on-duty officers from Tongxuan Yamen arrived quickly, but when they saw that it was from the Magistrate's Yamen, they didn't even dare to fart, and they shrank back one by one, for fear of getting it on themselves.
.
Throughout the night, Yue Su's people searched the Tongxuan Mansion in detail, but did not find anything useful. They had no choice but to temporarily seal it. Ge Yong's family members, including men, women, children, maids and servants, were all taken to prison.
The trial started the next morning.
There were more than 50 members of the Ge family, and Yue Su interrogated them one by one. During the interrogation, they basically used all available methods, including false confessions, threats, and torture, but they could not open a gap. No one admitted that they knew each other before they could be investigated.
And the assassin.
There are advantages and disadvantages to interrogating many prisoners. The advantage is that it is easier to falsely confess, and there will always be those who cannot bear to tell the truth. But there are also disadvantages, that is, if they do not confess, they cannot all be punished with severe punishments.
When they come down, they are either dead or maimed, and serious injuries are inevitable. There are old, weak, women and children inside, so how can you ask Yue Su to do it?
After a day of interrogation, no clues were found. Among the people being interrogated, the men kept kowtowing and the women kept crying. They told the truth about what they knew, but they couldn't figure out the key question at all.
.However, it is not that there is no gain at all. A lot of evidence was found that Ge Yong had embezzled and accepted bribes, engaged in malpractice for personal gain, and disregarded human lives during his tenure as an official. However, it is not related to this case.
Record the confession and everything about the capture of the murderer last night, and then write a letter to the governor's Yamen, and give a detailed account of last night's action to Princess Mu Tianjiao.
After finishing all this, Yue Su suddenly thought of another person - Fang Ji.
Fang Ji, like Fang Cha, was the old chieftain's guard and a survivor of that day. Yue Su had always been puzzled that he could break through and go back to ask for help. Now that Fang Cha has been exposed, is there something fishy about this kid?
Reviewed.
"Come here, bring Fang Ji to the hall!"
Fang Ji and Fang Cai'er were both under house arrest in the Houya's room today and were not allowed to leave. Occasionally they could hear crying coming from the Houya courtyard, but they didn't know what was going on. They didn't dare to ask because
Today's tolerance changed their attitude completely. They were all vicious and vicious.
After Fang Ji was brought to the hall, the guards on the left and right immediately shouted "mighty", and then heard the guards shout: "Kneel down!"
Normally Yue Su treats him and Fang Cha, and Fang Cai'er is like a guest, and he has a seat when talking. Why did he come to this situation today? It's like interrogating the assassin. Seeing Yue Su's majesty, Fang Ji didn't dare to stand anymore.
He quickly knelt down and said tremblingly: "Sir, I wonder what you want me to do?"
"Bang!" Yue Su first knocked the gavel tree hard and shouted: "What's the matter! Do you still need me to remind you? The old chieftain of Yiwangpo was captured and died. Only you and Fang Cha survived. The reason is that you are my official
Isn’t it clear? Tell me, why did you collude with Fang Cha and conspire with outsiders to kill the old chieftain?"
"I killed the old chieftain? No, sir, it's unjust. I have never colluded with outsiders. The old chieftain has done a lot of favor to my family. How could I conspire with others to repay him?" After Fang Ji finished speaking, he was very frightened.
kowtow.
"It seems that if I don't remind you, you can't tell the truth. Well, let me ask you, the road at Yiwangpo is narrow and blocked by enemies in front and behind. How did you rush out?" Yue Su said loudly
asked.
"Sir, this is really strange. At that time, we were blocked by the enemy. We originally swarmed up and planned to force a breakout. However, one of us charged down and the others were all intercepted. Only I was able to get out of the way, allowing me to rush through.
I had planned to turn around and fight back, but I heard Fang Cha shouting, telling me to go back to the stronghold immediately to bring in reinforcements, and they would be there to support me. I thought it was a good idea, after all, the stronghold was so close that it wouldn’t be necessary to go back and forth.
How long will it take, so I quickly returned to the village and called for reinforcements." Fang Cha answered honestly.
"Hmph!" Yue Su snorted coldly and said: "You are talking lightly. Don't you know that in a cavalry battle, life and death can only happen in the blink of an eye. It won't take long for you to return to the village, but it will be enough for the old chieftain to die for ten times.
Reply. I want to ask you one last time, why did the killer intercept everyone and just show you a way out? If there is an affair, who will believe it? If you don't confess honestly, don't blame me for punishing you.
Got it!"
Yesterday, when Fang Ji heard the criminal laws mentioned by Yue Su, his hair stood on end. If it were used on himself, it would be better to die immediately. He kowtowed quickly, "Sir, I really don't know why. I was the same at that time.
