Chapter 181
Zuo County Weisun Sheng had suffered for Fan Guang for a long time, so he took orders to go straight to his mansion without stopping.

From day to night, digging three feet into the ground yielded a lot—a large amount of money was found in his study, bedroom, kitchen, and cellar. In addition to the account books, there were also several boxes of "debt notes" left to him by Wu Youde. , the blood-red palm prints on it are shocking.

The witnesses and material evidence are all ready, but when it is time to go to court, there is a sudden news that Fan Guang commits suicide in prison in fear of crime.

This made Xiao Yuandu furious.

I thought it was unbearable to torture.After questioning, I learned that on the night of his imprisonment, he was given [-] lashes and then [-] lashes, and then ordered him to stand for half the night on a mound of soil that was only one foot above the ground and only allowed to stand on his feet—— Sun Sheng's actions were all in accordance with the law, and he did not go too far.

How can Fan Guang's body, which has been hollowed out by wine, lust and money, deserve it?The confession was made before the stick could be used, and all the torture was of no use at all.

This is even more bizarre, since you have confessed, why seek death?There is no one in the world who fears punishment but does not fear death.

"The guards are all panting for nothing?!"

When imprisoning a prisoner, one must first search the body, not to mention sharp objects, even an extra piece of clothing cannot be kept privately, and there are no beams in the prison, how can people die under such circumstances?
Sun Sheng knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Fan Guang has been rampant in the government office for many years, and his power is very strong. The prison guards are not sure whether he will have a comeback, and they dare not search and search like ordinary prisoners. That's why... it's no wonder that the humble official didn't explain clearly. tight."

Xiao Yuandu stood with his hips on his hips for a while, and glanced at him: "Get up and talk."

It's useless to say these things now.

"All the guards on duty will be held accountable. Now that Fan Guang is dead, let me carefully interrogate his accomplices. I don't believe that everyone can 'regard death as home'!"

Sun Sheng raised his head, hesitant to speak.

Seeing Xiao Yuandu's anger, he lowered his head again, "Yes, I'll do it for the humble job."

After Sun Sheng left, Xiao Yuandu read Fan Guang's confession.

Fan Guang couldn't bear to fight, but he explained everything that should be explained.

Not only did the way of making money inherit Wu Youde's mantle, but even the collusion with bandits began with Wu Youde.

During Wu Youde's six years in office, he has ruined many families and even forced good people to become bandits.In order to prevent people from seeking revenge, they thought of a way to control evil with evil.

This method is to "support the bandits to respect themselves".

The strange way is that every year in the name of suppressing bandits, they declare financial support upwards, but the suppression persists for a long time, and there is a tendency to suppress more and more bandits. The reason is to keep the big bandits to suppress the bandits.

It was impossible for Wu Youde to contact those big bandits in person, all of them were handled by Fan Guang, and Liu Lishan was one of them.

After Liu Lishan was destroyed, his brother Liu Lishui threatened Fan Guang to save him.

Fearing that he would drag him out, Fan Guang saw that Liu Lishui's identity had not been found out by the government officials, and thought that there were so many gangsters imprisoned in the prison, and one less would not be conspicuous, so he released him privately. .

Unexpectedly, after Liu Lishui was released from prison, he joined the Sifang Village, and then the Sifang Village was destroyed by Xiao Yuandu...

Xiao Yuandu pointed at the other bandits listed in the confession, and smiled grimly.

In the next few days, Xiao Yuandu led people to visit several bandit dens.

However, Sun Sheng has not made much progress here.

He exhausted all means, and the howling in the prison continued day and night, but what he got was nothing more than what he already knew.There was nothing to recruit those people, and even Fan Guang's most trusted subordinates couldn't confess more.

There are no new discoveries, and the case can only be tentatively finalized.

"How does the Lord Husband plan to deal with those county officials?"

After a busy day, he returned to the inner courtyard in the evening and was blocked by Jiang Nu.

This is an official business, Xiao Yuandu didn't want to talk too much with her.

For some reason, Xu Shi thought of the previous "hard advice" and finally said, "You know the people's livelihood and you should also know the law, so why ask me?"

These words are somewhat ironic, just like her sentence "Why doesn't the general kill the enemy and show off his power on the battlefield, but he lives in the small Wuxiong County".

After Xiao Yuandu finished speaking, he glanced at her.He found that she was not ashamed or angry, and looked at him with black and white eyes, as if she was still waiting for his answer.

Xiao Yuandu frowned, and said in a low voice: "Since it is necessary to torture to justice, there are only about five punishments, so you can do whatever you want."

According to what he meant, not only should we investigate to the end, but we should also punish him severely.

About half of the people in the government office were imprisoned because of Fan Guang's involvement, from the Youxian Wei to the small officials of Daobi, and most of the officials' rooms were empty.

"Husband Lord never thought that among these people there are also coerced people, just like those ordinary people who were forced to be robbers by Wu Youde and Fan Guang."

"So what. Whether driven by greed or deterred by Fan Guang's power, they are finally Wu Youde and Fan Guang's minions, and they are the accomplices of those two to oppress and do evil."

Jiang Fusang nodded: "Since you have done evil, you should be punished. But I heard that there are some small officials who have never been involved with them, such as Cheng Ping."

Xiao Yuandu narrowed his eyes, "You live in the inner house, but you have good eyes and ears, even Cheng Ping knows about it."

Jiang Fusang smiled: "My husband acted vigorously and wiped out all the silverfish. Outsiders are talking about it. The husband knows that my concubine often goes out recently, so I can't help but listen to it."

Xiao Yuandu didn't believe a single word of the words of praise she said, and he didn't have the heart to tell the truth from the false ones.

"He didn't do anything evil for Fan Guang, but he didn't fight back harshly. You said earlier that my inaction is laziness. Don't you know that silence is also connivance?"

"My concubine heard that in the past there were indeed county officials who could not get used to Fan Guangsu's actions and denounced him in public. Can the master know the result? Those people were either killed or injured or imprisoned, and at the least they were forced to leave the yamen Department.

"Of course what Cheng Ping did was not what a man should do, but when dark clouds cover the sun, he has no power to clear the clouds and see the sky, and he may not be considered a gentleman if he cherishes himself. People think of him well, so it can be seen that he has done something in recent years." It’s practical. No one is perfect, so why don’t you, Husband Master, make a difference?”

Xiao Yuandu looked at her sideways: "Cheng Ping asked someone to intercede with you?"

Then he hummed: "Then he made the wrong idea."

"The concubine has never had any contact with Cheng Ping, and Cheng Ping has never asked for help." Sun Sheng came to see her.

There was no guilt in Jiang Fusang's eyes, only magnanimity, "The concubine is all for the sake of her husband."

"For my sake?" Xiao Yuandu smiled, "I want to listen."

"Speaking more closely, Wu Xiong has been exploited for many years, and after this shock, the most important thing next is to maintain stability. Everything is waiting to be done, and everything is waiting to be done. The spring of troubles is the time to employ people. There is a shortage of people, but where can I find so many suitable tops all at once?

"Speaking from a distance, if the person in the top position treats the bottom too harshly, there is no room for half a grain of sand in his eyes, everyone will be suspicious and everyone will be in danger, who will really follow and serve in the long run?
"When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people observe it, there will be no disciples. The husband and the master are talented, but they also need an arm. It is normal for good jade to have slight flaws. Why not turn a blind eye to those insignificant flaws. Raise your hand a little, give me a little favor..."

The curvature of the corners of Xiao Yuandu's lips gradually disappeared with her words, and he looked at her with slightly complicated eyes.

After a while, he withdrew his gaze from her and went straight into the side room.

"Husband master," Jiang Fusang called him again when he entered the door, "The money confiscated from Fan's residence——"

Xiao Yuandu turned his head and said in a bad mood: "It's my pocket."
