The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1927 Criminal Trial
Even if the Patriarch of the Zheng family is in his own house now, he still looks unhappy everywhere.

One night passed, and the next morning, Feng Hao came out of his house and came to the county government.

"Last night, those two in the cell didn't move, did they?" Feng Hao asked as he walked into the county government's courtroom.

"My lord, after we unloaded the chins, those four people were tightly tied up and thrown in the cell. I watched them all night, and nothing happened. I think they are delivering food to them right now," the guard said.

"Where did the food come from?" Feng Hao asked.

"I bought it from a stall in the morning market. It's not like you don't know that our county government has never lit a fire." The guard said.

Feng Hao paused when he heard this.

"Sure, let's go to the cell to interrogate them later." Feng Hao said.

He came out of the house in a hurry, and he hadn't eaten yet. In the past, when he came to the county government early, it was all people from the county government who brought two pancakes from the street.

Feng Hao also knew that as far as what happened in Zhuangzi, he couldn't hide it from Qi Guogong who was outside, so it had to be done as soon as possible, and he should give Qi Guogong an explanation.

After finishing breakfast, Feng Hao brought the civil servants from the county government to the cell.

"Where are people?" Feng Hao asked.

"It's inside, the little one has been watching." The cell leader in the cell said, "The food I bought has been inspected before I dare to let them eat it."

"Well, well done." Feng Hao praised.

It is not [-]% safe for a person to be in a prison cell. If someone wants to kill someone to silence him, there are plenty of ways, so if you catch someone, you can't relax, and you have to be more energetic to watch it.

Feng Hao led the people inside, and the four people were locked in four cells respectively. In the aisle outside the cells, two guards stood watching.

"My lord." After seeing Feng Hao, the guard cupped his hands and saluted.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Feng Hao said, "Open the door."

"Yes." The guard responded, then took the key from the prison head, opened the lock, and took off the iron chain wrapped around the cell door.

Feng Hao walked into the cell with the civil servants.

"Let's ask a few questions in the cell today." Feng Hao looked at the people in the cell and asked, "You guys came to the inn in the middle of the night and dressed like this, what do you want to do?"

The clerk rolled up the pen and paper, sat on the long bench in the cell, put the pen and paper on the table, and began to record seriously as Feng Hao asked.

"It's nothing more than trying to get some money to spend." The man in night clothes said.

"Get some money? Do you need to make such a big fuss?" Feng Hao said with a smile, "You guys, who are you? What's your surname, what's your name? Where are you from, where do you live, tell me."

Hearing Feng Hao's question, none of these people said anything.

"I advise you, I asked, you should be honest and honest, the officials in Zhuangzi don't know how to be rude to their own people, but they are not so polite to you people." Feng Hao said: "Zhang Wei, go to the torture room and get ready, and I will take them there in a quarter of an hour."

"Yes." Zhang Wei answered with cupped hands.

After Zhang Wei left, Feng Hao looked at these people again: "From now on, you have a quarter of an hour. Of course, you can also choose to continue to be tough, but I also want to see whether our instruments of torture are hard. It’s still your backbone.”

After finishing speaking, Feng Hao really stopped talking, and waited in the cell with a group of people, waiting for the quarter of an hour to pass.

A quarter of an hour is neither long nor short, it depends on how you use it.

It was as if for the four people in the cell, a quarter of an hour was too fast for them now.

But after a while, they will know what it means to live like a year. After a while, a quarter of an hour is very long for them.

"I really don't understand it. Instead of being tortured until the end and I can't hold on anymore, why not tell me now that I don't suffer?" Feng Hao said with a smile: "It's really unpredictable. Come on, one by one. Yes, take it to the torture chamber."

After finishing speaking, Feng Hao got up and left the cell. The guards outside went to Feng Hao's cell first, took away the man in night clothes, and brought him into the execution room.

After entering the torture room, a musty smell came to the nostrils.

"This punishment room has never been used, but it doesn't mean it won't be used. No, you're here today." Feng Hao said: "Come on, hang it up for him, and then it's up to you, sir. Everything you want to know is here." Feng Hao took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to the interrogation officer. There were questions Feng Hao wanted to ask on this paper, and Feng Hao himself would not be here. Those in the torture room are too noisy.

The clerk of the county government is also in the torture room. He is responsible for some confessions, and after the prisoners are willing to confess, they will be charged.

After half an hour, the steward of the Zheng family hurried to Zhuangzi, and asked around in Zhuangzi, but he didn't find any news about what happened last night. If you want to know the news, you can just He could go to the inn where the incident happened, but as the housekeeper of the Zheng family, if he went to the inn to inquire, wouldn't he just call himself out?

So at the moment, the butler of the Zheng family is worrying at a tea stall in the market.

It’s not going to go, it’s not going to go, what should I do?If this matter is not handled properly, the Patriarch might lose his temper again when he returns to Chang'an City and Zheng's house, but Zhuangzi doesn't know what's going on here, why is there no movement at all?
The Zheng family didn't know that since the kidnapping happened on the Zhuangzi, during this period of time, the Zhuangzi was very wary of strangers coming from outside. Moreover, the housekeeper of the Zheng family inquired about such things. Most people don't know, even if they heard something last night, they wouldn't tell him.

What if the bad guys come again?Wouldn't that be helping his master's opponent to harm Zhuang Zishang?

Therefore, all the people on Zhuangzi keep their mouths tight.

"My lord, the steward of the Zheng family has come to Zhuangzi." The officer from the county government office entered the county government office and said, "He is inquiring about what happened last night at Zhuangzi."

"The Zheng family's actions are fast, but with his group of people, they are really solid. Those people in the cell are all sent by the Zheng family. The matter of the Zhuangzi before was also caused by the eldest son of the Zheng family. That's it." Feng Hao said: "However, if it is true, there is still a lack of evidence on paper, so it is still necessary to get a confession."
