"The next one is this Jiang Suo." Chen Baibin picked up the interrogation record, "It doesn't look like he has much luck, he is just a stupid big-headed soldier."
"Jiang Suo..." Ji Xin murmured, "It's such a familiar name. I always feel like I've seen it before somewhere."
"The name of a popular commodity." Chen Baibin said, "You can encounter several of them in a month in the purification camp."
"Jiang Suo! Get up, there is a master who wants to interrogate you." The remaining prisoner weakly shook the shackles in his hands.
Jiang Suo climbed up from the straw bed. He suffered a lot of injuries in the fierce battle, but they were mostly flesh injuries, which didn't matter. He didn't suffer much torture in the cell. He has recovered a lot.
This was the second time that he was a prisoner of the Australians. He knew that the Australians did not mistreat prisoners, and he was determined to die, so he was able to eat and sleep in prison, which made him feel very at ease.
When Jiang Suo heard that he was going to be interrogated, he was very calm and just asked casually: "Hasn't it already been interrogated?"
"A new Australian gentleman has been sent from Guangzhou." The prisoner knew that he was a good man, and his words were very polite. "You have gained a lot of face this time. You were able to shout several times when you went to the execution ground."
After that, he cupped his hands and said, "Hero, I'm offended." After that, he put shackles and handcuffs on him.
Unlike Yi Haoran, Jiang Suo was born in the military and was young and strong. Zheng Ergen had to be wary.
Jiang Suo was imprisoned in the county jail, only a few steps away from the county government's back hall, and it took only a few minutes to arrive in shackles and handcuffs. The moment he entered the back hall, his eyes widened.
Over the years, he has been thinking about it day and night, and the leader of the bandits who appears in his nightmares every night is actually sitting in the hall!
Although it had been many years, Jiang Suo still remembered the way this man looked when he interrogated everyone in the team: a fair-skinned, elegant middle-aged man with an expression of compassion. Every time he questioned him, he asked them to look at him.
After he finished speaking, he neither interrupted nor scolded them. He only called them "confused" at the end of the interrogation.
Everyone in the team thought that the worst he could do with his attitude was that each of them would be beaten dozens of times and put on the shackles for ten and a half months. Unexpectedly, the sentence that came was that the senior sister would be executed and the others exiled.
Jiang Suo will never forget the scene when the senior sister was taken out of the cell by two guards that day: the master called out his daughter's name sadly in the prison, the senior sister closed her eyes tightly, but tears could not stop rolling down her face.
He fell down and didn't scream "Dad" heartbreakingly until he was about to leave the cell.
The sound of "Dad" often made him wake up from his midnight dreams - he knew that his senior sister died unjustly and humiliatedly, and all her nostalgia and reluctance for the world were transformed into this one word.
He had never thought that this kind-hearted man, who spoke in a kind and reasonable manner, could be so ruthless and cruel.
What's wrong with Senior Sister? She just ate Mr. Luo's food for a few days in order to survive. When he was in Hainan, every day the thieves said that he was "what the people want" and that the conquest of the Ming Dynasty was "a crime against the people". But what do these common people really mean?
What is it? It’s not just killing chickens and monkeys with the heads of ordinary people.
"Why are you dazed? Come in quickly!" The officer behind him gave him a push.
Ji Xin did not recognize him. He and Jiang Suo had only met once or twice in court. As a judge at that time, he had to judge hundreds to dozens of prisoners and prisoners every day.
It is possible to remember every face. What's more, Jiang Suo was just a young man at the beginning. In recent years, he was exiled to work, and his appearance changed a lot.
"Are you Jiang Suo?"
"it's me."
Chen Baibin asked a few more questions about the contents of the confession, and Jiang Suo answered them one by one, with no mistakes. What Chen Baibin was most concerned about was how he mobilized his troops, and Jiang Suo did not hide this, how he would contact Song Ming and others.
Let’s talk about how to meet “Mr. Gou” and other things.
"Mr. Gou?" Ji Xin suddenly interrupted, "Are you talking about Gou Xunli?"
"It seems to be called by this name." Jiang Suo was a little surprised. Could this person named Gou be an old acquaintance of Kun Thief?
"Well, it turns out he is still alive." Of course Chen Baibin knew the famous Gou Er in the Senate, "He can really jump."
"Don't tell me, I almost let him succeed this time." Ji Xin looked at the young man with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes in front of him. He always felt that he looked familiar, but he still couldn't place it. He noticed that the other person's eyes were straight.
She looked at him seductively, without the shy and avoidant look in the eyes of ordinary captives and indigenous people.
This man is quite courageous, he seems to be a desperado, Ji Xinxin thought.
Judging from the summary of the confessions from all parties, in this riot, the literary team was Yi Haoran, and the military team was Song Ming - this person had escaped according to the prisoners, but this Jiang Suo was the second-in-command.
You should be able to get more useful information from him.
Ji Xin asked: "According to the confession, you said you were Xiong Wencan's servant - Xiong Wencan is from Guizhou and you are from Henan. How could you become his servant?"
"There was a flood and drought in my hometown, and I had no food. A few years ago, I went to Guangdong with others to earn a living by performing arts."
"If you're a performer, why did you become a soldier?"
Jiang Suo gave a weird smile: "That year when I was performing on the wharf in Guangzhou, I encountered you coming ashore to harass me. The team was hit by a military disaster. We either died or escaped. I was the only one left. I had no choice but to work as a soldier.
After eating, he later gained the appreciation of Governor Xiong. He first became a servant, and then was promoted to a boss..."
"Wuzhou city was destroyed, and most of Xiong Wencan's servants were scattered on Bangshan. How did you collect the remaining soldiers and how did you lurk down?" Ji Xin asked, "How did Yi Haoran contact you?"
"Of course there is an inside story about this matter." Jiang Suo said, "I don't know if the villain has revealed it. Can you spare my life?"
"If you can perform meritorious service, your crime will naturally be reduced by one level." Ji Xin said.
"Give me a pen and paper, and I'll just write it down."
"Are you literate?"
"When I was young, I went to private school for several years and knew a few words."
Chen Baibin scolded: "Stop pretending to be a fool, just say what you have to say!"
"You are stupid, I'm afraid it's not wrong to say it. It's better to write it down." Jiang Suo said, "What's more, this matter concerns the Standing Committee of the Senate. There are many eyes and ears here. If I say it and people listen to it, I'm afraid my life will be ruined."
Save."
When Jiang Suo said this, he and Chen Baibin were both shocked. The moment Jiang Suo opened his mouth, it was bombshell news, "It is related to the Standing Committee of the Senate." These words were too heavy. Don't look at them using the word "Senator" every day.
We talk about it, but most of the natives of the Ming Dynasty have no idea about the "Senator". Many people only know the "Kun thieves and Kun people". At most, they know an "Australian". They really know about the "Senator".
, probably only one in ten thousand. Not to mention the "Standing Committee" - even among the naturalized people in Lingao, very few people know this name. This person actually said it as soon as he opened his mouth.
Recall that the prisoners claimed that although Jiang Suo was just a general, he had led Xiong Wencan's most elite team of servants, and he was obviously one of Xiong's cronies...
Could it be that there were some invisible hands behind the Wuzhou Incident? Both of them suddenly became nervous. Speaking of which, the Wuzhou Incident did make people feel a little strange. Both Ji Xin and Chen Baibin knew that something happened in Wuzhou, which would have great consequences for the elders.
It may not be a good thing for some people in the courtyard.
Could it be...
None of them dared to speak out, so Chen Baibin said: "In that case, I'll give you a pen and paper." After saying that, he asked someone to send him a copy of the Four Treasures of the Study, and asked the government officials to remove Jiang Suo's handcuffs.
The bench in front of the interrogation chair is very wide and can be used as a small table. You can write by removing the handcuffs.
Seeing Jiang Suo pick up his pen and start writing, Ji Xin ordered the yamen prisoner in the back hall to retreat to the courtyard, lest anyone see what Jiang Suo was writing.
"Just wait under the eaves and wait for instructions."
"Ji Bureau, what can Jiang Suo write?" Chen Baibin was young after all, and he was a little uneasy.
"It's hard to say, but he's just a boss. What does he know? It's more likely that he's just talking nonsense and trying to survive." Ji Xin said, "Ignore this, just let him write. It will only waste a few pages."
Seeing that Jiang Suo was writing smoothly, he quickly filled up the page. After blowing it dry, he folded it up and breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's done."
Ji Xin was afraid that there was something crucial in this confession. If it really involved some secrets within the Senate, it wouldn't be a quarrel - the nature would be a hundred times more serious!
He did not call the officials under the eaves to pick it up, but directly stood up, walked over, and picked up the confession with his own hands.
Jiang Suo suddenly burst into flames, grabbed Ji Xin with one hand, held the holder of the brush with the other, and stabbed Ji Xin hard in the eye.
Ji Xin was taken aback and wanted to dodge, but Jiang Suo's arm was tightly grasped by Jiang Suo, like an iron hoop, unable to move. As he watched the black pen coming towards his eyes, Ji Xin could only turn his head back in desperation.
Look up and avoid its sharp edges.
Fortunately, Jiang Suo only had his hands uncuffed, and was still restrained by restraints from the waist down. The chair was fixed to the ground. The thrust of his hands was only in a very small range. Ji Xin dodged the brush stick by leaning back.
Just being stabbed hard at the corner of the mouth, I felt a sharp pain, my mouth was salty and sweet, and blood immediately flowed out.
Chen Baibin was stunned for a moment, watching Ji Xin's face bleeding, and then he reacted and shouted "Here comes someone!" He jumped up, picked up a bench and rushed forward, hitting Jiang Suo with one bench.
On his arm, Ji Xin was rescued from Jiang Suo's hands.
Ji Xin fell to the ground, his face was covered with blood, and he was in a miserable state. At this moment, the government officials and guards outside rushed in. They were shocked when they saw the scene. Then they used water, fire and sticks to beat Jiang Suo to a bloody head.
He was shackled again.
Ji Xin only felt that his cheeks and mouth were burning, and blood was pouring out continuously. He touched his cheek, and there seemed to be a wound, and even the flesh was rolled up.
