Chapter 72 Interrogating Fang Shun
The Red Feather Cavalry Battalion is located on a slope ten miles away from Fengcheng. The terrain here is high and flat, and the surrounding terrain can be seen at a glance. If there is really something wrong with Fengcheng, a thousand cavalry from the cavalry battalion can enter the city in a short time.

Although it was dark at night, Chu Xian didn't feel sleepy at all.

Inside a temporary tent, there were four soldiers with knives on both sides, who were sent by Wang Ruoyu to assist Chu Xian in the interrogation.In addition, Qi Chengxiang is also there, and Wang Zan is also on the side. Speaking of which, Wang Zan is also capable of writing and martial arts. He used to be a clerk in his early years, so he is temporarily recruited by Chu Xian as a clerk at this moment, responsible for recording Interrogation file.

Of course, it doesn't make much sense for Chu Xian to record or not. What he sees and hears can be firmly engraved in Shenhai. Even if there is no written record, Chu Xian will not miss anything.

Naturally, the presiding judge tonight is Chu Xian.

Because Wang Ruoyu wanted to avoid suspicion, she was not allowed to participate in the interrogation.

Inside the camp, Fang Shun had already come to his senses. After all, he was still an eighth-rank official named in the official code, blessed with holy power, and his physique was far superior to ordinary people. He has all-powerful means and it is impossible to resist.

And because he was still in an official position, Chu Xian gave the other party a wooden stool to sit in the tent.

The campfire was brightly lit, Fang Shun's hair was a little disheveled, his face was livid, he just stared at Chu Xian opposite him, without saying a word.

Chu Xian's expression was serious, and he looked at Fang Shun for a moment. Finally, Fang Shun was defeated and looked away.

At this time Chu Xian said: "Master Fang, you are the chief secretary of the Yasi, and most of the time you are the presiding judge or deputy judge, so you should be very clear about this set of procedures, and you should also be clear about why you were arrested. .”

Fang Shun sneered, with an expression of indifference: "I don't know, my son Chu Xian, if you commit the crime, do you know that this is a serious crime?"

Chu Xian's momentum is not weak: "I am the inspector who wrote the pen and investigate the case on behalf of the censor. Don't say it is you Fang Shun, even if it is the official of the Fucheng, Chu will dare to arrest him."

Fang Shun gritted his teeth and said again and again: "Okay, okay, very good, then Fang will learn Master Chu's interrogation techniques."

After finishing speaking, Fang Shun just sneered, but didn't say another word.

Chu Xian had long expected that Fang Shun's bone was not easy to chew, so it was not surprising that ordinary methods were useless against someone like Fang Shun who was familiar with interrogation methods.

There is only hard evidence.

Presenting ironclad evidence can directly defeat the opponent's confidence and momentum.

Chu Xian said at this time: "Submit the file."

Over there, Qi Chengxiang immediately put a large stack of files on the wooden table.

Seeing these files, Fang Shun's eyelids twitched, but he still didn't care, let alone said a word.

Chu Xian ignored the other party's reaction, but said as if taking care of himself: "These are the major case files of Fengcheng over the years, of course not all of them, I just said that Mr. Fang was selected by you. Mr. Fang, you know that I read these files. Dossier, what did you find?"

Fang Shun stared at the tent, as if something attracted him, but he ignored Chu Xian, and Chu Xian didn't need the other party to respond, and continued: "I found that as long as it involves some dignitaries, Your lord will confuse the public when you handle it. No matter how well written the file is, there will always be contradictions because it does not match the facts. At first you may be very cautious, for fear of revealing flaws, but later you find that, No one will check you, and no one dares to check you, because you have a backer who can cover the sky with one hand in Suizhou. After a long time, you will be more confident. Once this person is arrogant, he will get carried away, just like Last March, in the spring hunting case, An Renjie, the son of Anyi county magistrate in Suizhou, accidentally killed a second peasant. However, it is clearly written in the autopsy file that the two farmers who were shot and killed were both hit by arrows in their vital organs. Each of them was hit by two arrows. People shoot by mistake, can it be so accurate? On the contrary, it seems to be deliberately hunting people for fun. In Suizhou, some places have strong folk customs, and there are similar hunting customs. The holy pilgrimage has long strictly prohibited it. Up to now, there are still people who disregard human life and the laws of the Holy Dynasty, and openly kill for pleasure. Is it because that An Renjie is the son of the county magistrate? Or, that Anyi county magistrate is from the Changshi Mansion? "

Chu Xian was eloquent, Fang Shun didn't care at first, but at the end, Fang Shun finally looked at Chu Xian, and said coldly: "Master Chu handles cases like this, relying only on inference and imagination? It's ridiculous, to say you're a brat really didn't wrong you."

He was actually mocking Chu Xian.

"Presumptuous!" Qi Chengxiang immediately scolded, Fang Shun didn't even look at the other party, laughed a few times, and then fell silent again, as if to say, what can you do to me if I don't speak?

Chu Xian was not annoyed at all, but said very seriously: "Inference is a necessary process for judging a case. Mr. Fang is an official and has been the chief scribe for so many years. Don't you know this truth? The obvious problem in the corpse file However, Mr. Fang deliberately ignored it, and it was because of this that he ignored it, not to mention An Renjie, but you, Mr. Fang. This one alone can convict you of being unfavorable in handling the case and ignoring the facts."

Fang Shun still sneered: "Even so, how does Master Chu plan to convict this official? Believe it or not, in the end, this matter will be fined for half a year at most, and a slight punishment will be given, even if it is because of poor handling of the case and disregard of the facts. , that's just a speculation, what can you do if I don't admit it? Well, even if you have committed this crime, it's nothing more than me as the chief scribe. At worst, I work in other government offices, so what can you do to me? ?”

Seeing this scene, not to mention Qi Chengxiang, even Wang Zan, even the four soldiers in the camp, all had murderous expressions on their faces. This Fang Shun was simply rampant to the extreme, and he was not ashamed at all. Officials, how can the people under their rule have a good life.

Qi Chengxiang was already gnashing his teeth angrily, if he hadn't endured it, he would have killed the evil official immediately.

At this time, Chu Xian stared at Fang Shun, who was confident and disapproving, and said word by word: "Master Fang, could it be that he never thought at all that those two peasant households who died suddenly did not think that their parents, wives, and children would be hurt?" How much pain, how to live in the future, the mother lost the child, the wife lost the husband, the children have no father, these, can you not see it?"

Fang Shun smiled and said: "Master Chu, don't talk nonsense, you are a ninth-rank official, and you have arrested my eighth-rank master secretary for interrogation. If you only use the case just now as an example, I am afraid that your strength is not enough. Well, it's only a few hours before dawn. Maybe before dawn, I can go out from here. At that time, I will take the initiative to admit my mistake and punish myself with salary, and this matter will be exposed. After all, no one has any evidence to prove that Ann Renjie deliberately killed people for fun, after all, the case was closed a year ago. And you, you should think about how to explain it, maybe it will not be me, but you who will lose your job."

Snapped!
At this moment, Qi Chengxiang jumped up angrily, pulled out the steel knife in his hand, and shouted: "My lord, I'll chop this bastard right away."

"Qi Daochang!" Chu Xian also roared. At this moment, Chu Xian had a serious expression that had never been seen before, and then said: "Take back the saber."

Qi Chengxiang gritted his teeth, but he still had no choice but to withdraw the knife.

Fang Shun laughed loudly over there, arrogant to the extreme: "You, the saber chief guard, dare to draw a saber to threaten the official of the Holy Dynasty. You just wait, when the time comes, not only you, Lord Chu, will be unlucky, but you will also be unable to escape."

Chu Xian didn't speak any more, but took out another file.
