Chapter 11 The Gongsun family involved in the case
For Gongsun Yihu, a trip to the city defense yamen in Luocheng was not a big deal, so he didn’t take it to heart. He only took a few followers with him and followed the officers to the yamen lobby, but he saw that
Sun Xue was kneeling, wearing a white cloth on her head, her eyes full of anger, and she was shocked.
When Lord Xue saw Gongsun Yihu arriving, he was startled and asked: "Is it Gongsun Yihu who is here?!"
Gongsun Yihu hurriedly bowed and saluted, and replied: "My lord, I am Gongsun Yihu. I don't know what you want me to do." Although Gongsun Yihu said it politely, in fact, he did not treat Xue Hou
Although Lord Xue was a confidant of King Chen and was in charge of the defense of Luo City, Gongsun Yihu also thought that he was the Gongsun family of Chen State behind him. Even King Chen treated the Gongsun family with great courtesy.
Lord Xue was already extremely dissatisfied with Gongsun Yihu's occupation of the streets of Jinci Temple and his evil deeds. Now that he heard Gongsun Yihu talking one after another in the lobby, not taking his own city defense yamen seriously, Lord Xue felt anxious in his heart.
Start an unknown fire.
Lord Xue pointed at Gongsun Yihu and shouted loudly: "Bold madman, you came to my city defense yamen, don't you know what you did?"
Gongsun Yihu raised his head proudly and said in protest: "Sir, I, Gongsun Yihu, stand upright and behave properly. Of course I know what I am doing! Why do you make such arbitrary accusations without asking the truth?
?Could it be that you believed some rumors?"
When Lord Xue saw that Gongsun Yihu actually dared to argue with him, he became even more angry. He turned to Sun Xue and asked: "The sufferer in the hall, can you carefully identify whether the person coming here is the person you want to sue?"
.State your grievances again, and I will judge you impartially!"
After listening to Lord Xue's words, Gongsun Yihu also turned to look at Sun Xue. Sun Xue kowtowed to Lord Xue and said, "Sir, let me make the decision for my little girl! I came to Luo City with my father yesterday and stood on the street of Jinci Temple.
It was this bully who went on to perform at the show and ordered his men to ask for a share of our money. When we had no money to give him, he deliberately made things difficult. Fortunately, a few gentlemen spoke up and persuaded them to retreat. Unexpectedly, he actually sent people at night to take my father away.
Kill. I beg you to make the decision, arrest this bully, and pay with blood. Kill him to pay for my father's life!"
When Gongsun Yihu heard this, he pointed at Sun Xue and cursed: "You bitch, how can you slander others? When did I send people to kill your father? I have spared you and that bitch during the day. You
I don’t know what’s good, but you come here to slander me, sir, and see if I don’t break your legs.”
Just say that, he stepped forward to kick Sun Xue. Seeing this, Mr. Xue could no longer suppress his anger. He took out a warrant in his hand, threw it down the hall, and shouted to the Yamen servant: "Come here, give me this
The gangsters of the Roaring Court took it down and pushed it outside first and beat it with twenty sticks!"
When Gongsun Yihu heard this, he saw that the government officials on both sides were about to come forward, and he became anxious. He pointed at Lord Xue and shouted: "Master Xue, how could you do this! I am a member of the Gongsun family, and I have always abided by the law.
, why did you hit me!"
The government officials on both sides ignored his shouts and only knew that the master had orders. They walked forward to Gongsun Yihu and stretched out their hands to grab Gongsun Yihu's arms. Gongsun Yihu was also unambiguous and shouted to his subordinates: "Leng."
What, watching them take me?"
The few followers brought by Gongsun Yihu usually followed their master and acted arrogantly, so they didn't take the government officials seriously. When they heard Gongsun Yihu's shouts, they rushed up and blocked the government officials.
.
Seeing that Gongsun Yihu actually dared to let his subordinates fight against him, Lord Xue became even more angry. Lord Xue slapped the table, pointed at Gongsun Yihu and shouted: "Gongsun Yihu, how dare you fight against me?"
Oh, you are so brave! Come here, capture all these people and tie them up!"
When the officials in the hall saw that Gongsun Yihu dared to resist, they were very angry. After receiving the order from the adults, they rushed forward and captured several of Gongsun Yihu's followers. They were going to capture Gongsun Yihu later.
, but Gongsun Yihu refused to submit. He shook his arms and knocked away the two government officials, then turned around and ran out of the lobby.
Naturally, the government officials would not let him escape easily. Several government officials swung water and fire sticks and hit Gongsun Yihu's legs. Gongsun Yihu was somewhat capable. He jumped up and dodged.
Unable to stop, he continued to run out of the lobby.
Gongsun Yihu looked about to run out of the lobby, but unexpectedly a big net fell from the outside and caught him in it. More than a dozen soldiers dragged Gongsun Yihu back to the lobby with the big net and chased him.
The yamen servants who came up felt annoyed when they saw Gongsun Yihu being caught in the net. They each waved their water and fire sticks, and the ping, ping and bang bang was a mess. Gongsun Yihu was trapped in the net and could not break free, so he could only let the yamen servants let him go.
He was quite tough when it came to the beating, and he kept shouting: "Well done, well done, I'll take note of you. When I go out, I'll settle the scores with you one by one!"
His shouting not only did not frighten the government officials, but also made the government officials standing aside get angry. They stepped forward and beat them with sticks. Poor Gongsun Yihu, after a while he was beaten until he could no longer scream.
When the officials saw that the beating was almost complete, they dragged Gongsun Yihu out of the net, tied him with a rope, and threw him into the lobby.
Lord Xue kept watching with cold eyes until Gongsun Yihu was beaten to silence, then he snorted coldly and said: "It's really ridiculous that you want to run away in fear of crime. Do you think my city defense yamen is your home? Come if you want.
Leave if you want!" After that, he asked sharply: "Gongsun Yihu, let me ask you again, do you admit or not that you killed the artist Sun Bin?"
Gongsun Yihu gasped, gritted his teeth, and said in a trembling voice: "You stupid official, are you thinking of giving in and getting beaten? It's not what I did, how could I admit it!"
After Xue Houye heard what he said, he ordered: "People are bitter insects and cannot be killed unless they are beaten. If someone comes, he will be punished. He must recruit his accomplices and catch them all in one fell swoop!"
As soon as Gongsun Yihu heard this, he began to scold the general, calling him a coward and a bastard. The yamen servant ignored his scolding and started using torture tools after taking out the instruments of torture. There were even sticks in the hall, and Gongsun Yihu was punished with sticks.
He was knocked unconscious two or three times. Seeing that he couldn't find anything out, Lord Xue ordered his men to take Gongsun Yihu and several of his followers to prison for custody.
King Wuyou stood in the hall and kept watching. Seeing that the trial could not produce any results for a while, he waited for Lord Xue to take Gongsun Yihu and others into custody, and nodded to Lord Xue from afar. Lord Xue just said that he did not see anything.
, said to Sun Xue: "The person who is complaining, I have caught this suspect in prison, and I still need to interrogate him carefully to see if he has any accomplices. These #### tell the Yamen where they live, and they are not allowed to stay away at any time.
Wait for the summons from me!"
Sun Xue quickly kowtowed to Lord Xue, and King Wuyou said to Lord Xue: "This girl has no relatives in Luo City. Why not live with me in Qi Ci Fang, so that the adults can find her?" Sun Xue said again
He kowtowed to King Wuyou and thanked him, and Mr. Xue nodded in agreement.
Gongsun Yihu had been beaten to the point where he could no longer be tortured, and the interrogation for that day was temporarily over. Lord Xue announced that he would withdraw from the court and would try again tomorrow, and everyone left one after another.
King Wuyou led Sun Xue to Qi Ci Fang. Along the way, King Wuyou asked carefully. Sun Xue also told King Wuyou everything he saw and knew. King Wuyou also felt sad in his heart.
I roughly knew what happened. Back at Qi Ci Fang, King Wuyou asked Shopkeeper Shi to find someone to help Sun Xue collect Sun Bin's body, and then find a house for Sun Xue to live in. Then he went to the back,
Instruct Lu Zheng to call Gu Yuetian.
When Gu Yuetian arrived upstairs, King Wuyou told Gu Yuetian what Sun Xue had said. Gu Yuetian nodded and said he wanted to go to the scene and take a look at Sun Bin's body.
Gu Yuetian had been away for about two hours, then returned to Qi Ci Fang, met King Wuyou, and told King Wuyou about his exploration situation. Then Gu Yuetian said to King Wuyou: "Your Majesty, this is
I'm afraid Sun Bin and his daughter are not ordinary entertainers. I think Sun Bin died from a sharp weapon, probably stabbed in the throat by a broken blade. There are not many sects in the martial arts that use such sharp broken blades, and Sun Bin
There is a pattern on his back. Although it has been burned with fire or the like and the pattern is a bit blurry, I can still tell that it is an ape. In the martial arts, the only sect that stabs apes on the back is the Ling Yuan sect. This is a specialized sect.
A sect that specializes in theft."
King Wuyou nodded when he heard this and said: "So, this Sun Bin is from the Spirit Ape Sect, and he should be hunted down by his enemies."
Gu Yuetian nodded and continued: "I once heard that the Spirit Ape Sect mysteriously disappeared many years ago, and the masters in the sect disappeared almost overnight. This Sun Bin is probably the missing member of the Spirit Ape Sect that year. If
If you want to know the truth, you must ask Sun Bin’s daughter!”
King Wuyou thought for a while and said: "That's not necessary. We just need to prove that it was someone from the Gongsun family who committed the murder, so as to provoke a conflict between the Gongsun family and the city defense government office, and then turn Chen Cheng and Chen Zhong against each other.
"
Gu Yuetian nodded, thought for a moment, and then said: "This is easy, we just need to put a murder weapon in Gongsun Yihu's house, hide a few bloody clothes, and then remove two people from Gongsun's family, then he will be suspected
It’s basically settled!”
King Wuyou smiled and said to Gu Yuetian: "I'll leave this matter to you, and check on the Spirit Ape Sect." After hearing this, Gu Yuetian sighed and said: "What am I doing?
Only then can I escape from your clutches, do I have to be ordered around like this all the time?!"
King Wuyou looked at Gu Yuetian and nodded, his eyes filled with meaning. Gu Yuetian looked at it with a look of horror on his face, stood up, turned around and ran out, muttering: "I still
Let's go quickly, who knows what your plans are, I don't want to be treated as your pawn!"
The next day, Marquis Xue sent people to search Gongsun Yihu's house. They found a short blade from the secret room of Gongsun Yihu's house. He checked the blade and found that it matched the wound on Sun Bin's throat. There was also a night jacket.
, there are still a few spots of blood on it, which seems to be the blood spattered when it was stabbed in the throat.
After questioning Gongsun Yihu's wife, it was found that Gongsun Yihu did not stay at home overnight on the night of the incident and only returned home the next day.
After questioning the servants in Gongsun Yihu's house, it was found that two people had disappeared. These two people were always close followers of Gongsun Yihu.
At this point, Mr. Xue became even more certain that it was Gongsun Yihu who led his men to attack and kill Sun Bin. Firstly, he wanted to retaliate against Sun Bin for refusing to pay his share, and secondly, he wanted to seize Sun Xue. Although Gongsun Yihu was tortured repeatedly, he refused to kill him.
, but the murder weapon and bloody clothes were found in his secret room; and with the identification of the victim Sun Xue, Mr. Xue sentenced Gongsun Yihu to death.
