Chapter 38 The identity of the prisoner(1/2)
"That's right, Lord Shen, all these 300 criminals are relatives of King Li Zhen of Yue."
"It was originally scheduled to be executed after the autumn, but for some reason it was handed over to our county for execution."
"Now the people are almost at the gate of the city."
Chen Yuan touched his chin, and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.
This matter doesn't seem that simple.
When King Li Zhen of Yue opposed Wu Zetian to seize the Li Tang Dynasty, he joined forces with the four kings to send troops to Luoyang.
Although he committed suicide due to defeat, he was a great hero in the hearts of the old ministers of Li Tang.
If he killed his relatives, he would certainly gain favor from the emperor and the Wu clan relatives.
But at the same time, it will also offend a group of old ministers who inspire to restore the Tang Dynasty.
These people seem to be suppressed on the surface, but in fact they are not much less powerful.
Prince Li Xian is the leader of these people.
If you focus on yourself, you can imagine the outcome.
It is said that a dog that bites people does not bark, and I underestimate this old guy Wu Yuanji.
If you don’t take action, you will be killed as soon as you take action.
"Hmph, I want to hurt you, you're a little tender."
Chen Yuan sneered and walked towards the yamen with his hands behind his back.
He wanted to see who these criminals in the company were all killed.
County government office, gate.
Because Qingyuan County is in Qingming's administration and the people are well-equipped to eat and clothing, public security has always been good
There have not been many cases in a year.
Suddenly, three hundred prisoners wearing shackles came, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Everyone was a little curious about what crimes these people had committed.
As everyone was watching, the officers and soldiers of the government office waved their whips, and the criminals gradually stopped.
A fat official came to Chen Yuan quickly.
"Magistrate Chen, this is a group of unruly people who intend to rebel. According to the law, he should be executed after the autumn."
"I was originally going to be executed in the state, but recently the governor is busy celebrating his son."
"So it is passed on to your counties for execution. This is the document issued by the government office. You can check it out.
Chen Yuan took his eyes back from the criminal, glanced at the collusion document, and frowned slightly.
"So many people intend to rebel?"
"Yes, in addition to the relatives of King Li Zhen of Yue, there are Princess Changle and Pei Shoude's family."
"There are about 15,000 people. Our Qingzhou is divided into 1,500 people and will be implemented by your counties."
The fat official handed over the documents to Zhao Zhubu and clasped his fists at Chen Yuan.
"Since the handover is over, I hope Lord Shen will execute his execution on time at noon three days later."
"Jieshizhou will accompany the imperial envoy to inspect."
"Goodbye!"
Looking at the backs of the guards in the government office, a cool look flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes.
"Hu Er, take all these people to Qingyuan Prison and wait for detailed interrogation by the official."
"Abide by the orders of humble duties."
Captain Hu waved his hand, and dozens of officials rushed forward and took the prisoner to the north of the city.
………
At night, Qingyuan County Prison.
Chen Yuan was lying on the Taishi chair, and Xiao Taohong stood behind him and rubbed his shoulders.
"I have read your files. They are all dead soldiers recruited by King Li Chong of Langya. I wonder if it is correct?"
Looking at the strong man tied to the punishment rack in front of him, Chen Yuan said lightly.
Bah! Dog official!
"If you want to kill or cut, you will be able to do it! If grandpa brows, you will be able to raise it!"
The strong man spitted thick phlegm on the ground, struggling violently with the iron chains.
The eyes that looked at Chen Yuan were filled with anger.
"Bold! How dare you insult our county magistrate, Lao Liu, and put a stick on this kid!" Captain Hu shouted with his eyes wide open.
Waving his hand at Lao Liu, Chen Yuan stood up and came to the strong man, and glanced at the calluses on his hands.
"There is no need to put on the stick. Just take the small dark room to be locked in for two days."
The yamen runner named Lao Liu shivered all over, as if he had thought of something terrible.
Hurry up and take the strong man into the dark room.
"Next!"
"Bah, the dog official... I want to kill and cut him, I..."
"Six sons, small dark room."
I screamed for more than a dozen times, and I was cursing, and the source of Shen was in pain.
Seeing this, Captain Hu was puzzled: Sir, these people have been charged and only need to wait three days before they are executed.
There is no need to retrial.
"Hu Er, don't you find it strange?" Chen Yuan said thoughtfully.
"strangeness?"
Captain Hu was stunned: I didn't realize that something was wrong.
Bei Zhi has read the file, and Dali Temple and Prefecture have reviewed it twice.
The conclusion is without exception that all intentions are committed to rebellion, and the crime should be punished.
There should be nothing wrong.
"Yes, it's normal to say that the case was tried by the two yamen of Dali Temple and the Prefecture."
"It is impossible to have a false and wrong case, but I saw that they had calluses."
"No one was created by holding weapons, and there were dark purple bruises on the waist and shoulders."
"It is obviously the damage caused by long-term labor."
"Do you think the King of Langya will recruit some farmers as dead soldiers?"
Captain Hu shook his head. All those who can act as dead soldiers are skilled people.
With such a big rebellion, King Langya could not find some farmers to act as dead soldiers.
"Forget it, you can accompany me to the prison to take a look."
Seeing that things were not clear, Chen Yuan shook his sleeves and walked towards the cell.
He wanted to observe these people personally and see what they really are.
Three hundred prisoners are a huge burden on small places like Qingyuan County.
In order to prevent accidents, men and women were held in several prison cells respectively.
There are about thirty people in each cell.
When he arrived at a prison near the door, the jailer took out the key and prepared to open the prison door.
Suddenly, a dirty little hand stretched out from the partition and grabbed Chen Yuan's neck of his clothes.
The bright big eyes were filled with pleading.
"Please save my sister, she is about to die of illness."
The prisoner's face changed and he immediately pulled out his whip and whipped at the little girl.
Bang!
Purple-blue whip marks appeared on the back of the hand, with a faint trace of red blood oozing.
"Master... Sir, I didn't mean it." The jailer knelt down on the ground with a pale face.
Chen Yuan glanced at him and said lightly: You are eager to protect the official and you understand that the official is, but she is just a child.
Go to Zhenwei Escort Agency for a while and try to sharpen your own mind.
