In the official hall, the lights were brightly lit, and the soldiers of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division were on guard with swords drawn. The front and rear doors were tightly guarded and strictly guarded, and no one was allowed to go in or out.
Jia Heng is sitting behind the desk, wearing a large black cloak and a flying fish suit, with a stern face. The oil lamp on the beam is dancing with dim light, making half of his face half bright and half dark. Behind him are Cai Quan and two other people. A soldier from the Beijing camp stood in wait with his sword pressed.
Jia Heng looked at the people who were tightly bound and said in a cold voice: "You bandits, who are they from the Sanhe Gang?"
The two men in black who were kneeling on the ground below had already had their headscarves torn off. The tall, dark-skinned Captain Wei started to curse: "Dog officer, if you want to kill or slay, please do as you please! If I frown, I am not a hero!"
Jia Heng sneered and said, "You won't tell me, right? Deputy Commander Shen, give him a promotion, be careful not to kill him!"
"Yes, sir." Shen Yan was also an experienced torturer. He ordered a few soldiers to find a bench, water, and jute paper. He placed his head on the bench next to Captain Wei and started cooking.
And here, Jia Heng looked at a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and said, "Tell me, which hall is this and what's his name."
The man pursed his lips and said nothing.
Jia Heng sneered, came down from behind the desk, walked closer, and said: "Don't think that if you don't tell me, you will think you are a good guy! Think more about your family. I think you are in your early twenties. I don't know. Have you married and had children?"
Seeing the man's eyes flashing, Jia Heng chuckled and said, "Are you married? Do you have a son? I guess he's not very old, right?"
"Dog officer..." the man cursed angrily.
Jia Heng said: "You said that if you die, your wife will be bullied by other gang members. You can't say. You spend the money you paid for with your life every day, sleep with your wife, and beat your children. You think about it." Think? Even if you are under the Nine Springs, you will not close your eyes, right?"
I noticed that the man's eyes were blood red and his breathing was suddenly heavy.
Jia Heng's eyes were dim, because his back was to the lights on the beams, and his face looked gloomy. He said dimly, "Of course there is another situation. I don't know if your wife took the money you exchanged for your life and found it not long ago." You’re such a pretty boy, you can’t possibly let your wife fall under your magic sign..."
"Shut up, stop talking! Stop talking," the man said angrily, his whole body shaking violently.
Jia Heng said: "What, you can't stand it anymore? I will give you a chance. If you cooperate well, I can give you a way out."
"Tell me, which court are you from? Whose order are you from?" Jia Heng shouted...
Eight thieves came, and those who survived were either highly skilled in martial arts or weak in courage.
As the saying goes, death is the only option in all the hardships!
Just now, from the way this man had been staring at that person and his aura, it was easy to tell that the one being manipulated was obviously the leader.
It's not easy for a leader to use such threatening words. Not everyone can risk life and death just by being a little guy like this.
It is not a team armed with faith. Even the team made of steel has many traitors.
The man seemed to have lost all his strength and began to confess.
Jia Heng called Shu Zuo to record the confession.
After listening to his intermittent confession, Jia Heng's eyes flickered, he looked at Shen Yan who was fussing at the side, and ordered: "Have someone bring Deputy Commander Feng here, I want to interrogate him personally!"
Not long after, several soldiers from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division escorted Feng Xiaolou into the official hall.
"Deputy Commander Feng, we meet again." Jia Heng smiled and looked at Feng Xiaolou.
In fact, he almost didn't realize that these people would kill people and silence them.
If you really take over the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and go home to celebrate your title, it will be extremely joyful and sad.
Because as soon as Liu You dies, the clues will be completely cut off.
At that time, the case of beating a child who was a candidate for the examination would face serious difficulties in investigation. If the Sanhe Gang was attacked recklessly, it would only alert the enemy.
"Moreover, when it falls in the eyes of some people, there are criticisms."
Jia Heng looked gloomy and felt cold in his heart.
He had just wiped out the bandits in Cuihua Mountain, and it could be said that it was the time when he was in the limelight. It could be said that even if the next case was not handled beautifully, it would give people a comment like "he is still a young man after all and lacks experience." .
That is, if the key is high, it will be difficult to sing the rest, but once you sing it well, the rewards will be extremely rich.
Why did the emperor directly give him the title of General Yunhui? Such a generous title and there was almost no objection in the court was because he did things neatly and impeccably. The mouth is completely blocked.
"Deputy Commander Feng, you know the rules of the Military and Horse Department. If you don't want your former colleagues to resort to tricks, you'd better tell everything you know. I'll try my best to get you a lenient treatment. Besides, your child is sixteen. Right? There is an old woman in her sixties at home, and you don’t want them to be implicated because of you, right?" Jia Heng looked at Feng Xiaolou and said calmly.
When Feng Xiaolou heard this, his heart was shaken, he knelt down and shouted: "Sir, I was temporarily confused in my humble position!"
Jia Heng said: "Tell me, how much money did you receive from others? Who contacted you? I'm listening."
Feng Xiaolou said: "Not much, thirty thousand taels of silver, let me let a few people in."
"Thirty thousand taels of silver? What a loss of intelligence! Do you know that after Liu You is silenced, I will definitely investigate the matter.
How can you cover up the fact that you pushed away the guards guarding the gate!" Jia Heng said in a deep voice.
Feng Xiaolou's expression changed slightly and he said nothing.
Cai Quan then said: "My lord, as long as he refuses to admit it, at most he will be dismissed from office for dereliction of duty. A seventh-grade military attaché with six or seven taels of silver is enough for him to buy a vacant son in the capital camp. There is no telling who is behind it." , and other compensation.”
Cai Quan obviously understands the market.
Jia Heng's face was pale, but his heart was a little solemn.
The military system of the Chen and Han Dynasties had been corrupted to the point of selling officials and titles, and the bad governance in the middle period of the dynasty was almost fully reflected.
In fact, it can be seen from the original work of "A Dream of Red Mansions" that Lai Shangrong donated a county magistrate and actually took office.
Feng Xiaolou then continued to confess that the people who bribed him were people under Huang Zhuo. However, Feng Xiaolou did not know the internal affairs of the Sanhe Gang. He took money to do things and clearly marked the price, and it was impossible to inquire about the private affairs of the victim.
Jia Heng waved his hand and said: "Take him under custody and transfer him to Yu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate tomorrow."
This kind of corruption of military officers and collusion with bandits is allowed to be interrogated by Yu De, which further reflects the dignity of the country's laws.
After questioning the two of them, over there, Shen Yan also concocted the helmsman named Wei Wu.
"Sir, this guy is not a good person!" Shen Yan looked somewhat ashamed and said with cupped fists.
Jia Heng said: "Then continue the torture, I don't believe you are so hard-boned!"
Are there tough guys who would rather die than surrender? There must be some, but they definitely shouldn’t be among these gangs that are united by profit!
After sending Shen Yan to torture Wei Wu, Jia Heng raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was time.
"First compile the confessions of these people, and then report them to the emperor...and then make arrangements to arrest them!" Jia Heng looked at the piles of confessions and said to Cai Quan: "Brother Cai, go back to the old house and interrogate Liu You. !”
He didn't believe it. The people behind it were going to kill Liu You and silence him. Why was this narrow-minded Liu You still keeping secret? Was he playing a trick of loyalty?
It is only human nature to feel angry and stab someone in the back with justice!
In Ningrong Street, Liutiaoer Lane Hutong, in Jia Heng's old house before moving, the lights are still on and the door has long been bolted.
Soldiers from six Beijing camps were on guard in shifts.
In the main hall, Fan Yi prepared a table of wine and food, holding a wine cup in his hand and a few side dishes on the small table. Looking at Liu You, who was tied to a chair with a backrest and his mouth was swollen, there was a bit of pleasure in his eyes. .
It was this man who ruined his life. He passed the imperial examination at a young age and went to Beijing to take the exam. At a township party meeting, after drinking at a banquet, he couldn't get used to this man's attitude, so he said a few words and became a subordinate in Beijing. If it is not what we, the scholars, did, this person would hold a grudge against me.
Then there were several conflicts, but this man actually became so crazy that he ordered some green-skinned scoundrels to beat him to death!
Liu You looked at Fan Yi coldly and sneered: "Fan Yi, do you think you can stand up if you surrender to Jia Heng? Your life is over! No matter how capable you are, you can't be an official. Who would Using a cripple as an official? Haha"
Fan Yi's cheeks became flushed after drinking. She stood up again, rolled up her sleeves, and raised her son in Xiangyang Mansion, who originally believed in being a gentleman but did not speak. She had been hanging out in Cuihua Mountain for a while, and had already become a "Convince people with reason."
The redness and swelling on Liu You's face was clearly caused by Fan Yi.
From now on, he, Fan Yi, will also follow the example of his ancestors of the Fan family, Fan Sui, the prime minister of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and he will definitely retaliate!
However, just when Fan Yi raised his arms and was about to hit Liu You, he heard the voices of soldiers outside.
"Master Jia is here?"
Fan Yi put away the ferocious look on his face and regained his composure. He now had nothing and could not use his talents. Only Master Jia used him regardless of his past evils. He could not mess up the matter.
"Who says you can't be an official? If a certain family assists a Qianlong, he might not be able to do it like Li Ru or Jia Xu."
Fan Yi looked at the night outside the courtyard, a surge of pride flashed in her heart.
In recent days, with the sales of the Three Kingdoms dialects, it has really stimulated the enthusiasm of some scholars for discussing history, and it has also found a partner for some scholars who have not been recognized for their talents.
On this side, Jia Heng led Cai Quan into the old house together. It was already Cheng Zheng, late at night.
When Jia Heng arrived at the gate of Ningguo Mansion on Ningrong Street, he sent his servant into the house and said that he would not go back but go straight to the old house.
When solving a case, there is a golden time, which is three days. Therefore, some cases must be tried overnight. Don't think about delaying it.
Wait, fuck!
Otherwise, once this time window is missed, it will be difficult to solve the case.
Entering the courtyard and looking up at Fan Yi hanging on crutches, Jia Heng smiled and said, "Mr. Fan hasn't rested yet?"
"Sir, the student was in a state of agitation for a while and drank a few glasses of wine, but couldn't sleep for a while." Fan Yi looked at the young man in brocade clothes opposite him with grateful eyes and said in a clear voice.
Jia Heng nodded, smiled and said, "It's human nature."
His eyes swept over Liu You, who was tied to a chair in the room, and paused for a moment on his red, swollen and bruised face. Without saying anything, he went straight into the room.
If you don't let people say this, it will only make them more resentful and extreme, affecting normal judgment.
It can be said that he brought Liu You here intentionally.
Seeing this, Fan Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Cai Quan also entered the house and placed the wooden box containing the confession on the small table aside.
Jia Heng looked at Liu You at this moment and said: "Master Liu, have you figured it out?"
"Master Jia, don't bother. Although Liu has some issues with Fan Yi, he is also a scholar. How could he collude with Qingpi and beat him to death? Liu You calmed down at this moment.
, compared to the panicked denial before, this time he actually presented the facts to Jia Heng and made some sense.
"Sir, if you just rely on Fan Yi's one-sided words, you can just let it go. Even if you are sent to prison and sentenced to death, Liu will still cry out for this injustice!" Liu You said in a deep voice with an angry look.
"Papa"
However, a burst of applause was heard in the hall.
Liu You glared angrily, looked at the young man in brocade clothes coldly, and said, "Master Jia, why are you applauding?"
"Master Liu is shameless and confuses right and wrong. If you don't know the inside story, you will almost be deceived by your hypocritical attitude!" Jia Heng said in a deep voice.
Liu You snorted coldly and turned his head to the side.
"Master Liu, look what is all this? The Sanhe Gang was captured by me in order to kill you and silence you. They have already confessed that you, Liu You, colluded with the Sanhe Gang and were willing to be the gang's lackey! You seem so shameless.
, How can he look like a scholar when he calls himself a brother-in-law with a green-skinned scoundrel?" Jia Heng suddenly shouted: "Look at me!"
Liu You was shocked, but he was shocked by the so-called "silence". He raised his eyes to look at the confession, and moved his lips: "
This...this, this?"
"Wei Wu from the Sanhe Gang's Leitang has confessed that you were the one who colluded with the Sanhe Gang and ordered Qingpi to beat and maim the national examination candidates! You also accepted bribes from them to help them release the prisoners in custody. Everything is written in black and white. I remember it clearly.
, How can you still argue with me now?" Jia Heng shouted, almost frightening Liu You to the point where he trembled and his eyes were blank.
Jia Heng looked at the earth-colored Liu You, sneered, and said: "You think you can get away with it as long as you refuse to admit it? Do you think the people behind you will come to save you? You are lucky and wishful thinking! The people behind you hate you.
Won’t survive tonight!”
Liu You suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Yes, King Qi will never let him survive tonight!
Thinking of that sinister and ruthless face, Liu You shuddered. There was no way his family members would be poisoned!
It is almost inevitable, because his family members know about his connection with King Qi!
"Mr. Liu, if you want to survive, you must cooperate with me and tell what you know. Otherwise, with the ruthlessness of the people behind you, you and your family will probably die in an ugly way. After all, only the dead are the people."
Can’t speak!”
Jia Heng stared at Liu You's face and said coldly.
Inducing confessions, deceiving confessions... He felt that he had used all his skills in interrogating drug dealers as a border guard in his previous life.
For active criminals who have both stolen goods and stolen goods, this is actually more like an interrogation strategy. For non-current criminals, using these is actually suspected of violating regulations and can easily lead to unjust, false, and wrongful convictions.
Liu You's face changed for a long time, and he suddenly said: "Master Jia, I want to ask you something. If you agree, I will tell you the truth immediately."
When Jia Heng heard this, his heart moved and he said, "Is it about the safety of your family?"
Except for his family members, there was almost no one who could make Liu You behave like this.
"If Mr. Jia brings my family members overnight, he will ensure their safety," Liu You said anxiously.
Jia Heng frowned, but also felt a chill in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Where do your family members live now? Tell me quickly, if it's too late,
It was taken away by others!"
Liu You said anxiously: "In Huaiyuanfang, Xicheng, in Huaishu Hutong, there is a stone lion in front of the third house, and the one with Liu's lantern is hanging."
Hearing this, Jia Heng looked at Cai Quan aside and said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and send a few people to protect Liu You's family! Don't let anyone kidnap you!"
It’s time to grab time now, we absolutely can’t wait until tomorrow.
Needless to say, as time goes by, the news of the failed suppression will definitely spread to the Sanhe Gang, and then they will take Liu You's family hostage if not possible.
At that time, Liu You would probably not be able to speak.
Cai Quan also knew what was at stake, and went straight outside with a few people.
