While the policemen were making arrests, Song Zhili was naturally waiting in the Yamen anxiously and anxiously. He was pacing back and forth at the door of the cell.
He was worried that Cui Meng had not been caught, or that something had happened;
Secondly, I am worried that even if Cui Meng is caught, what will happen if he refuses to plead guilty?
Although we knew he was the Ghost Faced Killer, we had no evidence at hand. How could we get him to speak?
Not only must he plead guilty, but he must plead guilty as soon as possible, at least before Cui Xiaotian comes to ask for help.
However... this is a secret operation. If Shen Mingchen, Cheng Xiao and others are concealed, Cui Xiaotian will not soon suspect the Yamen.
Moreover, he heard that Cui Xiaotian has been busy expanding his business recently, and there is a high possibility that he is not in Yanping County.
As long as you can give yourself one night, you should be able to achieve your goal...
"Master Song," as a result, as soon as he thought of this, a Yamen servant quickly ran over, pointed in the direction of the court and said, "Master Sima and Master Cai are here!"
"Ah? So fast?"
Song Zhili grinned and frowned, feeling very unhappy.
Unexpectedly, just when Song Zhili was thinking hard, there was a sudden noise outside the county government gate, including the shouts of government officials and the screams of someone being thrown down.
"Okay." Sima Xin nodded and said, "Also, the review of Qiu Zhennong's death penalty has been completed, and the governor has also given his approval. Once the documents arrive, we can set an execution time!
"The governor's intention is that the sooner the better, but when the censor comes, we still need to consult and listen to their opinions..."
"Don't worry, don't worry, haha..." Chen Houlu said with an apologetic smile, "We are ready. We have temporarily rented two restaurants in the southern suburbs to ensure good food and good housing."
"Song County Magistrate," Sima Xin asked, "The people from the Ministry of Punishment should be here to remind the censor. I heard that they were afraid of an accident during the execution, so they specially brought a group of Yulin soldiers. They didn't even mobilize troops from Songzhou. !”
At this time, the two adults were talking more and more energetically. After talking about the appropriate punishment, they once again talked about the issue of Qiu Batian's house raid.
When I came to the court, I saw that Sima Xin and Cai Jin had already taken their seats in the court, and behind them stood a group of energetic entourages, all of whom were obviously prepared to welcome the officials of the Criminal Department.
"If there are Yulin soldiers, there must be Yulin generals," Cai Jin reminded, "You have to prepare a place for them all to stay!"
So, he could only bite the bullet and trot all the way to the court.
However, no matter how uncomfortable it is, you still have to go and greet him.
At this moment, the county magistrate Chen Houlu was talking to them, making tea and water, and was very attentive.
"Bold!" Although Song Zhili turned pale with fright, he still mustered up the courage to shout and shouted, "Do you know that attacking the Yamen with weapons is equivalent to rebellion!? Anyone who dares to do anything wrong will be punished by the Nine Tribes!!!"
but……
"Sir, sir..." I saw the gatekeeper running in with his face covered in blood and shouting loudly, "These people are going to attack the yamen... Oops..."
It wasn't that he cared about Qiu Batian's property being divided, he just gradually realized that he had never experienced such a house raid.
Song Zhili couldn't bear to hear what Sima Xin said, because all he thought about was arresting Cui Meng.
After years of tacit understanding, Song Zhili immediately understood that it meant that the matter was done.
Seeing that Sima Xin was speaking eloquently, Song Zhili resisted the urge to leave and listened to what he said.
Song Zhili suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Now that Cui Meng has been caught, more than half of the matter is settled, and the interrogation can begin next!
So Song Zhili also nodded to Cheng Xiao, which meant that he should proceed as planned and quickly go to interrogate Cui Meng.
As soon as everyone raised their heads, they saw a large group of people rushing into the lobby menacingly!
These people were armed with sticks and other weapons, and all of them had fierce looks on their faces, like menacing gods.
oh……
As soon as Cheng Xiao left, Song Zhili was on pins and needles and couldn't stay any longer!
Unexpectedly, after Song Zhili shouted, the intruders who rushed in ignored them and strode forward with weapons in hand, surrounding several officials and numerous government officials.
From this, he quickly thought of Cui Xiaotian and wondered if he could find a way out of the predicament...
Although it is insulting to Wen Wen, being Wen Wen is naturally not as important as the lives of his sons and daughters.
call……
In an instant, not only Song Zhili and Chen Houlu were surprised, but Sima Xin and Cai Jin were also shocked and jumped up from their chairs.
"ah!!?"
Next, they began to discuss the specific details of the execution. After all, the execution was supervised by the Ministry of Punishment, and all execution links must be thought of to ensure that everything is foolproof...
But Cai Jin had never seen such a scene before, and was so frightened that he quickly hid behind his entourage.
Fortunately, Chen Houlu was tactful and responded immediately, without making the two adults suspicious.
The intruders were a huge crowd, with a visual estimate of sixty or seventy people, and it seemed that there were many outside the door who had not yet come in.
Sima Xin, who was born in the military, immediately stood firm, holding a saber in his hand, ready for battle.
The yamen servant was running too fast. Someone raised his foot and tripped him, causing him to fall into a black eye.
They said that if they hadn't sealed off Qiu Batian's restaurants in the past few days, someone might have been planning something evil.
While they were discussing, Song Zhili saw Cheng Xiao waving to him in the distance and nodded gently.
broken!
Song Zhili quickly stepped forward to salute and greeted the two adults.
After thinking about it, it seems that the only option is to use the trump card and lie about "gong".
"You...you..." Chen Houlu was shocked and asked, "What are you going to do?"
He always wanted to find an excuse to leave, but the two adults were talking about important things, and he really couldn't find a suitable reason.
By searching homes, it seems that certain goals can be achieved and unexpected effects can be achieved.
Before, he only heard Sima Xin emphasize that the matter of Qiu Batian's property must be properly handled, saying that many people were watching, but now it seems that they are the ones who are watching Qiu Batian's property!
Hearing this, Song Zhili finally understood that no wonder Sima Xin and Cai Jin brought so many people. They were not here to cheer, but to rob Qiu Batian's family property!
Indeed, because of the case of the Ghost Faced Killer, how could Song Zhili care so much?
Seeing that his shock and shout had no effect, Song Zhili already realized who the intruder was!
Sure enough, after the crowd on the other side separated, a red-faced man wearing a blue mink fur robe and a red face appeared in front of Song Zhili and others.
Song Zhili and Chen Houlu recognized at a glance that the person who came was none other than Cui Meng, one of the four bullies in Yanping County, Cui Meng's father, the owner of Wansheng Gambling House, and the so-called King of Hell Cui Xiaotian!!!
