"Speak! Where is the Juyeze bandit named Zhang Ji? How did you bribe him to kill people? And the Yu Duo who tricked my son here for you, is there now? If you don't admit it truthfully, I will be punished again!"

"Give up your life! Give up your life! The villain doesn't know, the villain is really wronged! The little one doesn't know that Zhang Ji's bandit. No one in my family called Yu Duo, and I dare not buy bandits and kill people! I am timid and dare not even kill a chicken. How could I dare to buy murderers? The villain is wronged!"

"Blow me hard! Beat until he confesses honestly!"

The poor Mr. Yu Zhiyu cried and cried out loud and cried for justice at the top of his lungs, but there was no effect. On the contrary, he was even more violently beaten. Under the threat of Dan Youwei with red eyes, the county magistrate swung his shoulders and used his strength to suck the bamboo strips thick with wrists on the naked back of Mr. Yu Zhiyu. The poor Mr. Yu's back had been beaten to pieces, and he was beaten again. Of course, the bamboo strips were bloody and sticky, and the flesh was so strong that they made the poor Mr. Yu scream, crying and howling, and burst into tears several times. In the end, he almost shouted his throat and couldn't make any decent voices.

"Prepare for the stolen!"

Shan Youwei, who lost his beloved son, refused to give up and roared and urged him to increase the sentence. He did not hesitate to the officers he brought to Lingxian County. He immediately brought a pot of burning charcoal to put it in the face of Mr. Yu. Shan Youwei yelled: "If you don't confess truthfully, just serve the stolen!"

"Unforgive..., unjust..." Mr. Yu continued to shout for justice in a weak voice, but in the end, the result was that Mr. Dan Youwei roared and sentenced to punishment. Several officers immediately lifted Mr. Yu and pressed Yu Zhi's chest to the fire to roast it, causing Yu Zhi, who could no longer make a sound, to make another scream that was not as sad as a human voice.

"I've seen the Right Eight." A Ling County servant who suddenly came in temporarily shared a little bit of Dan Youwei's anger for Yu Zhi. After saluting, the servant replied: "Report to the Right Eight Eight, Yan Jiting Shi Changfan sent someone to report, saying that a group of people entered the Yu family's gate. The group of people were from Xiaxiang County, Sishui County, and basically all had surnames Xiang."

"It's just right!" Shan Youwei slapped the table in front of him with red eyes and roared: "I am suspecting that this matter is related to them. It's just right. I ask the local chief to keep a close eye on them and wait for the official to ask for confession and arrest people immediately!"

The officer took the order and left. Shan Youwei turned to Yu Zhi, who was screaming like a pig, waved his hand and temporarily stopped the punishment, and then asked Yu Zhi: "Is the person who killed my son related to the ruined children of Xiang, the lower princess? Did his family do it directly? Say! I can save you from death after telling me!"

If Yu Zhiqu made a move and confessed randomly, then the Xiang family members would of course be a little trouble no matter what. Fortunately, although Yu Zhi was both mediocre and cowardly, he did not bit people like a mad dog like what Shan Youwei expected. He moaned and shook his head with difficulty, and said in a difficult voice: "The villain doesn't know, the villain really doesn't know anything..."

"Continue to use torture! Prepare to hold the stick! If you don't confess, I will put the stick on the official!"

The naked upper body of Mr. Yu was again put on the charcoal fire to roast, and the pinch stick used to clamp his fingers was also placed in front of Mr. Yu. His chest was sizzling and almost oily. The unlucky Mr. Yu's scream reached its peak again, "Oh my God! Oh my God! Who did I offend? Who did I offend me? Who did I hurt me so much?!"

The furious Shan Youwei lost his patience and continued to roast Mr. Yu, while roaring and asking him to hold a stick, the previous officer ran in again and replied to Shan Youwei: "Report to the Youwei, Feng Zhong, the agent of Dongxiang, Xiaxiang County, Sishui County, asked for a meeting, saying that there was a case of bandits robbers and injured people on the other side, which also involved Yu Zhi. Please allow him to participate in the interrogation."

"Is this man involved in other cases?" Shan Youwei, who was anxious about Prince Yu's death, was overjoyed when he heard this, and he didn't have time to think too much, so he immediately agreed to meet him. However, after the officer went out to communicate, Shan Youwei suddenly felt aroused in his heart and said to himself: "Feng Zhong? Why do you seem to have heard of this name there?"

Shan Youwei soon knew that he had heard of Feng Zhong's name there, because soon, Feng Zhong, who had ruined Shan Youwei's good deeds once, appeared in front of Shan Youwei with a smile on his face. What made Shan Youwei even more incredible was that Xiang Kang, who had the hatred of taking his wife with his precious son, and a tall Xiang family member, also followed Feng Zhong in. Shan Youwei was shocked when he saw it and blurted out, "Why are you?"

"Brother Xiang, brother Xiang Kang, save me, save me quickly!" Yu Zhi also struggled and shouted as if he saw a savior.

Xiang Kang and Xiang Guan didn't say anything, only Feng Zhong stepped forward and bowed to Shan Youwei and said, "The Xia Li, Dongxiang, Xiaxiang County, Sishui County, was the agent of Youwei. He has met Lord Youwei."

"What are you doing?" Shan Youwei was angry like a cockfighting cock, and pointed at Xiang Kang and Xiang Guan and shouted: "And they? Why did you bring them here?"

"Report to Lord Youwei, the Xiaguan came here to investigate a case of bandits and injured people that occurred in Shilingting Ting in Dongxiang, Xiaxiang County." Feng Zhong, a veteran of the case, first explained the reason for his coming here clearly, and pointed to Xiang Kang and Xiang Guan and said: "This Xiang Kang Xiang brother is my men's pavilion, who is here to help me. This Xiang Guan Xiang is the victim of the bandits and injured people. He will follow me to identify the criminals."

"Is he your pavilion?" Shan Youwei pointed at Xiang Kang and asked suspiciously. After he beat Xiang Yan, the Wuxin Jun of Chu State who didn't believe in it, he would be a small pavilion for Feng Zhong with no official position.

"Report to Lord Youwei, that's right. He is now my pavilion." Feng Zhong nodded calmly - this means there is no benefit of formal establishment. Feng Zhong said yes, but no one can prove it is not.

"Then what is the case of bandit robbery and injury you are talking about, and what is the specific situation?" Shan Youwei asked vigilantly.

"This is the thing." Feng Zhong cleared his throat and said, "It was about the afternoon before yesterday. This young master Xiang Guanxiang went out for a trip. He encountered a bandit called Zhang Ji in Shilingting. The bandit said that he was the subordinate of Peng Yue, the thief of Juyeze, Dang County. He borrowed the travel expenses from Mr. Xiang Guan. Of course, Mr. Xiang Guan did not give them any. The bandit took action to rob, knocked Mr. Xiang Guanxiang, forcibly snatched Mr. Xiang Guanxiang, forcibly snatched Mr. Xiang Guan's five ingots of gold, and then ran to Yan Jiting."

"After Mr. Xiang reported the case, I took him here to investigate the fugitive." Feng Zhong continued: "I didn't know if I didn't check it. After investigation, the lower official was shocked. The bandit named Zhang Ji not only robbed Mr. Xiang's gold at Shilingting, but also ran to Yan Jiting to kill people and horses, and committed a serious crime. Later, the lower official found out that the bandit named Zhang Ji might be related to Mr. Yu Zhiyu of the Yu family. He also heard that Mr. Yu had been arrested here for interrogation, so the lower official came over to ask for a meeting, hoping to participate in the interrogation and investigate the whereabouts of the bandit Zhang Ji."

Before Feng Zhong could finish his nonsense, Shan Youwei had already turned his nose up and pointed at Xiang Guan and asked, "He was stolen from his hardware? Look at his poor look, can he have five ingots of gold on his body? Also, look at his body, even if he doesn't snatch others, he can still snatch others?"

"That bandit's martial arts are so good that I can't beat him." Xiang Guan admitted with confidence that he was not as good as a thief, and said, "As for my gold, my brother Kang asked me to hand it over to my two aunts to support the family, but unexpectedly he was stolen by the robber."

"In the blacksmith shop under my name, I did a big deal the day before yesterday, selling 60 knives to the official servants in Pei County, and got fifty gold." Xiang Kang also made a certificate as if he was a decent certificate: "There is a wooden coupon as a certificate, and the wooden coupon is now in my house."

"Then what do you want to do?" Shan Youwei yelled in anger.

"Of course, it's an interrogation of this Yu Zhi." Feng Zhong pointed to Yu Zhi who was roasting on the fire and said with confidence: "I found out that the bandit named Zhang Ji might have secretly contacted this Yu Zhi and wanted to ask him about Zhang Ji's whereabouts."

After saying that, Feng Zhong, who was still familiar with the laws of the Qin Dynasty, pretended to look at Yu Zhi who was being punished, and said in surprise: "Why have you used the punishment? Did he change his confession? How can he use a heavy punishment like burning ribs?"

Qin Law stipulated that if the prisoner refuses to admit it, he can only use the punishment of whipping and repeatedly changing the confession to use heavier punishment. So after hearing Feng Zhong's words, Shan Youwei, who knew that the law was breaking the law, could only shut up. Feng Zhongze became more and more arrogant, and then turned to the minor official who was responsible for recording the confession and asked: "What confession did he change? Take it to me and take it."

The minor official did not dare to answer, so he could only secretly go to see Shan Youwei. Shan Youwei shouted at Feng Zhong: "You should keep in mind! Now I am the official to investigate the case. You are a small wanderer from Sishui County, and you don't have the share of your words!"

"Master Youwei, but this case is also related to me." Feng Zhong smiled bitterly on his face, as if he was very aggrieved: "In theory, my lower-minded Youzi is not qualified to interfere with Lingxian. But Yu Zhi is involved in the case of bandits and injured people under my rule. I also have to ask him for confession, so there is no way, I can only take the initiative to participate."

After saying that, Feng Zhong kindly advised: "Shan Youwei, let's put this Yu Zhi down from the fire first, otherwise, if the county magistrate and prison officer of Gui County knew about it, I would probably think you were overpowering."

"Shut up!" Shan Youwei roared: "You don't have to worry about my own business!"

"Master Youwei, don't force the officials." Feng Zhong said bravely: "Our Qin governs officials more than just the strictness."

Shan Youwei glared at Feng Zhong, his eyes almost spitting out of fire. Feng Zhong was timid and his eyes were obviously weak. Xiang Kang next to him saw something was wrong and hurriedly spoke: "Youwei, if you don't listen to our Feng Youzi's kindness dissuasion, don't blame us for reporting the officials. The Qin Dynasty has its own laws. Mr. Yu's injuries are so severe, so it's not easy to hide the truth."

The Qin Dynasty had much stricter management constraints on officials than any dynasty. Once officials committed crimes, they often suffered more punishments than the people. This certainly benefited many people in the Qin Dynasty, but it also made it cheaper for people like Xiang Kang to cheat and commit fraud. Considering that he was not completely in Ling County, Xiang Kang would definitely go to the county to accuse himself of abuse of punishment and revenge for personal revenge. Shan Youwei gritted his teeth and still whined to the officer who was using punishment. The officer knew it and quickly let go of Yu Zhi, whose chest was almost roasted. Yu Zhi fell to the ground and groaned, crying as much as it was.

"Thank you, Lord Youwei." Feng Zhong also made a little concession and bowed and said, "If Lord Youwei doesn't mind, please let the subordinate ask him something."

Shan Youwei did not speak with a stern face. Feng Zhongze asked Xiang Kang to write a record for the time being, and ran to Yu Zhi to pretend to interrogate him, asking Yu Zhi to explain his relationship with the so-called Juyeze bandit Zhang Ji. Yu Zhi, who was temporarily out of the sea of ​​suffering, certainly denied it, insisted that he did not know Zhang Ji. Feng Zhong repeatedly asked to confirm that his confession had not changed, and asked Yu Zhi to sign the name on the bamboo slip recorded by Xiang Kang and obtained the iron evidence of Yu Zhi's original confession. Then Feng Zhong turned to Shan Youwei and pretended to be worried and said, "Master Youwei, this matter is troublesome. Yu Zhi insisted that he did not know Zhang Ji, and we did not catch that Zhang Ji. What should we do?"

"What do you want to do?" Shan Youwei asked back angrily.

"According to the opinion of the officials, let's take him to Lingxian first." Feng Zhong said, "This case is too complicated, involving three counties, Dongjun, Dangjun and Sishuijun. If you want to find out, it will definitely not be possible in a day or two. Therefore, the officials believed that they could only take Yu Zhi to Lingxian for careful investigation, and at the same time issue a document to arrest the thief Zhang Ji who killed and robbed people."

The murderer claimed to be a man from Dang County. He first robbed and injured people in Sishui County, and then ran to Dong County to kill people. After thinking for a long time, he found that the case was indeed very complicated. Shan Youwei had to forcefully nodded and shouted: "Put Yu Zhi in a rosy suit (prisoner clothes), get into the prison car, and take it to the prison guard in the city to hand it over to the prison guards of Wu! And those servants from the Yu family have also been arrested, and they will be taken all!"

Hearing this, Xiang Kang and Feng Zhong both breathed a sigh of relief, because the prison and county magistrate of the Qin Dynasty did not belong to the same system, and they could not manage and control each other, so they imprisoned Yu Zhi in Lingxian Prison. Although Shan Youwei relied on personal relationships to continue to rectify Yu Zhi, he could also continue to beat and force confessions through personal relationships - but the old Yu family also had the opportunity to buy the prison officer of Wu, so that Yu Zhi could live a little more comfortable life in the prison, right?

While breathing a sigh of relief, he glanced at Yu Zhi who was already dying. Xiang Kang couldn't help but have a more vicious thought in his heart, and he thought: "My father-in-law is so rich, and his only brother-in-law died in prison again. This father-in-law's money should be a cheap son-in-law? Should I continue to save my future brother-in-law?"
