Chapter three hundred and sixty second false accusation
After waiting, Yang Ze did not sleep until the second half of the night, waiting for Fu Bingrong and Tan Zhengwen to return.
Fu Bingrong wants to leave the city to do business. If time is delayed, he will not be able to enter the city. Now Chang'an City has a curfew, and the city gates must be closed at night. Unlike in the future, he can also enter the city at night.
But Tan Zhengwen didn't matter. He was doing business in the city. When Yang Ze was so sleepy that he couldn't do it, he ran back happily.
As soon as Tan Zhengwen came back, he entered Yang Ze's house. He drank a whole pot of water first, and then said, "Master, I found out that people. After those guys left the yamen, they separated first. I had to follow the Feng family only. But after a broken house in the west of the city, the Li family also came with him. Not only did they come, but a person who looked like a manager came into a broken yard and discussed things inside. They have been discussing until now, and they have not yet parted!"
Yang Ze laughed twice and said, "They suddenly met a county magistrate like me and caught them off guard. Can they not discuss? So have they gone out to find someone and go to the palace of a princess or something?"
Tan Zhengwen shook his head and said, "No, after entering, no one came out again, and of course there was no crying. The case seemed to be fake. It was a trap set by someone else. I couldn't hear anything outside the hospital, and I was afraid that they would find it, so I came back. But I guess it was so late that they wouldn't leave. If we go now, we would definitely be able to take them all."
Yang Ze stood up and said, "I just want to give them a pot. I actually want to make a trap to harm me. Then I can't be rude to them!"
It was lightning to do this. Yang Ze knew very well that there must be others in the yamen now. No matter who the other person was, it would be unfavorable for him to arrest people anyway. After giving Tan Zhengwen a few words, Yang Ze asked him to go to the inn to find soldiers from the west of the town. Only these people were reliable. After finding the person, he immediately went to the small yard to arrest people.
Tan Zhengwen ran away quickly, and Yang Ze changed into a full set of official uniforms, led a horse from the horse's wing, and waited there in the back door. In the middle of the night, there were really people who didn't sleep, but when they saw Yang Ze, no one dared to come and ask, but they all knew that Yang Ze was going out to do business, so they had to hide in the dark and wanted to find out where Yang Ze was going. Only then could they report to his master.
Not long after, a whole team of soldiers from Zhenxi arrived. Yang Ze waved his hand and the soldiers from Zhenxi took the lead. He followed him. The soldiers from Zhenxi were all riding horses and moved very quickly. Under the leadership of Tan Zhengwen, he arrived outside the small yard in just two quarters of an hour.
At midnight, the horse team was moving, and the sound was loud, but because of this, the people in the small yard did not expect that the horse team was coming for them. This was absolutely unexpected. The person who could deal with them was Yang Ze, but Yang Ze's performance during the day was no matter how he was caught in the middle of the night.
There was a man in the small yard lying down at the crack in the door and looking out, but he found that after the horse team arrived, he actually surrounded the small yard. At this time, he felt panic and hurried into the house to report the news, but when he wanted to escape, it was really too late.
Yang Ze gave the order. The soldiers in Zhenxi immediately dismounted, kicked open the gate of the yard, and went in to catch people. In just a moment, they arrested all the people in the yard. The Feng family, the Li family, and a few helping guys were arrested. As for the person who looked like a manager, they were tied up and pressed to the ground!
Yang Ze stepped into the yard, looked at them, and smiled and said, "Are you not an enemy? Why are you getting together again? It seems that there must be a hidden secret. Then let's not waste time here, go back to the yamen to explain clearly!"
All the arrested people were trembling all over, especially the person who looked like a manager. He was the most afraid of him. If he was arrested, he would inevitably involve the people behind him. He would not be able to confess. After entering the yamen, there were ways to let him speak!
The person in charge of the affairs shouted: "Mr. Yang, County Magistrate Yang, the villain gave usury. It was just because the Feng family died and wanted to hold a funeral and had no money to bury his son. So the villain came over. The villain was wronged. His Feng family affairs had nothing to do with the villain. Lord Yang would be kind to him, don't catch the villain and leave!"
Yang Ze smiled at him and said, "It really has nothing to do with you?"
"It really doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all!" said the man who looked like a manager hurriedly.
"That's not OK, I have to go back to the yamen!" Yang Ze waved his hand, called several soldiers, and said, "Clog their mouths so that they won't be flirted with me!"
The soldier immediately went over and blocked the mouths of these people. Yang Ze laughed and said, "Look, I am so real. I am afraid that you will collude with your confessions, so I will say it directly, without any ambiguity!"
He drove the horse first and took the soldiers in the west of Zhen to return to the county government office of Wannian County.
Yang Ze ordered these people to be detained separately, but he went straight to the second hall without questioning others. He just asked Tan Zhengwen to bring the person who looks like a manager into the second hall. It was useless to interrogate others and would not know too much. In fact, this person who looks like a manager may not know a lot, but this person can be used.
As soon as the man in charge was brought in, Yang Ze spoke: "Chop two of his fingers to see if he dares to speak stubbornly."
Tan Zhengwen agreed and was about to draw a knife from his waist. The man who looked in charge was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He had a piece of cloth blocked in his mouth and couldn't say anything. Why was he stubborn? Since he couldn't even harden his mouth, why did he have to chop off his fingers? Once he chopped off his fingers, he would never grow again!
He struggled and kowtowed to Yang Ze again, hoping to spare him!
Tan Zhengwen drew out the knife, glanced at the person in charge, and looked at Yang Ze again. The two of them looked at each other and tried it out. This guy was not a hard guy, but a cordyceps.
Tan Zhengwen knew that Yang Ze would not really let him cut his fingers, so he said, "Master, you can wait for a while for your fingers to cut your fingers. We might as well try the method of sprinkling salt first, first cut a few holes on him, and then sprinkle salt powder. I heard that the wound is so painful that it will make people feel very awake!"
Yang Ze nodded and said, "Yes, this is a good way. He must be sober, so that he will not be able to explain clearly when asked about it. I think about which meat hurts the most... With it, cut the exit on his tongue and stuff salt into his mouth. It will ensure that it hurts and will definitely make him awake!"
Tan Zhengwen hurriedly said, "It's still the master's skills, why didn't the disciple expect it!" He took down the gag cloth and said, "You open your mouth wider so that I can make a few more cuts on your tongue!"
The manager was so scared that he closed his mouth tightly. He kept shaking his head, but he didn't dare to speak. He was really afraid that when he opened his mouth, Tan Zhengwen put the knife in and scratched it randomly.
Yang Ze looked at him and said, "If you tell the truth, then you won't cut your tongue first. But if you don't tell the truth, then the official will also have a law to cure you. As long as you throw you into the prison, there will be all the vicious people there. Many of them have not seen women for a long time. If you go as thin as you, they will definitely treat you well. You are a very good little white rabbit!"
When the manager heard this, his face turned green. He knew what the rabbit man was. If he went in and was harmed by those prisoners, he might as well die!
He had no choice but to say, "Little, the villain is willing to tell the truth, but I don't know what Lord Yang wants to ask?"
Yang Ze snorted and said, "I don't ask who your backstage is. In fact, who it is. I can find it out by checking it, and there is no need for you to say. I just want to ask you who you plan to be the adulterer in the end, and the adulterer will definitely be beheaded in the end. What benefits did you promise them? Can they be willing to do this headless business?"
In fact, the most exciting thing about this case is that it can be reversed. It is found that the Feng family’s son did not commit suicide, but was murdered. Then the adulterer is naturally the final key. Knowing this is equivalent to knowing the entire case!
The manager was extremely shocked. When Yang Ze knew the so-called adulterer, it was equivalent to knowing everything. Could it be that someone leaked the news and Yang Ze learned it?
Yang Ze looked at him and sneered, "There is no airtight wall in this world. I will tell you now that I am the Prime Minister. The little prince and I are good friends. He also asked for a county magistrate's dispatch for my subordinates. I guess you know this. You are the eldest princess, right?"
He just said that he would stand at the King of Xiang's team and also provided evidence. Anyway, the person in charge could not know the truth.
"The villain... the villain is not the eldest princess, the villain's boss, Su Jie... is!" The manager felt quite ashamed. He was the old man, how could he be considered the eldest princess? Even if Su Jie was a Dean, he was just a errand to do things in front of the eldest princess.
Yang Ze said: "Tell me what happened. I want to see if you said lies, and then decide how to kill you!"
The manager shouted to spare his life, and did not dare to hide it. He told the story all the time. The case was almost exactly the same as Yang Ze thought. The adulterer was a pauper and too poor to lose the blame. He was willing to spend his life to live in the family. On behalf of Su Jie, he said that after the matter was completed, he could give the adulterer's family twenty acres of land.
Yang Ze frowned. It would be good to read more books. You can predict the enemy first. Since the eldest princess still refuses to give up, then I will provoke it myself and lead the disaster to Li Zhenglong. Anyway, Li Zhenglong is determined to be a good person. As a good person, he will be used.
Yang Ze said to the manager: "Don't mess with Dai Sujie, and turn to the Prime Minister. I can find an errand in the Prime Minister's Mansion. With the protection of the Prime Minister, you don't have to be afraid of others' revenge. What do you think? Of course, if you don't agree, I will ask someone to kill you. If you all die, you won't have to be afraid of revenge!"
The manager grinned, and this was too direct. At this point, the little life was in Yang Ze's hand. He couldn't agree. He had to nod and said, "The villain is willing to offer the Prime Minister!"
"That's right, those who know the practice are heroes!" Yang Ze praised him and said, "Tomorrow I will be promoted to the church. If you come to testify, I will say that the adulterer is Dugu Baoqiao. How about it, do you want to? Of course, if you don't want, I will have the law to kill you. However, if you want, the Prime Minister will protect you. I can take you to see the King of Linzi tonight... At dawn!"
The manager was so scared that his whole body was trembling. Dugu Baoqiao? That was the princess, the eldest princess's son-in-law. If he framed him, wouldn't the eldest princess have to kill him? But if Li Zhenglong, the King of Linzi, could protect him... that would be true. If he really entered the palace, no matter how fierce the princess was, she would not dare to enter the palace to capture him.
