The literary giants of the late Ming Dynasty began by copying books

Chapter 110 The public takes action
Wei Zhai.

A rogue hurriedly ran into the bedroom: "Sir, Fang Baozhou has sent out the flyers."

Wei Tianjue got up from the bed and laughed loudly: "Finally let me wait until this day. Bring me the leaflets and take a look."

Wei Tianjue took a sip of hot tea, then took the flyer from the rogue's hand and looked at it carefully.

Wei Tianjue still had a smile on his face when he first looked at it, but his expression changed as he looked at it.

"Grandma, I asked him to write about Wang Wenlong and Zhao Yiping. Why did he get involved in the abolition of Li Li?"

The rogue originally had a smile on his face, but when he saw Wei Tianjue's appearance, he realized that something was wrong. He quickly calmed down and asked carefully, "Master, could it be that Fang Baozhou made a mistake?"

Wei Tianjue is not a brainless person, and he will know how big this matter is after a little thought.

He thought this was Fang Baozhou's own initiative, and couldn't help but regret why he hadn't reviewed the manuscript before, "This Fang Baozhou, is this something we can write about? This time we are going to make a big mistake."

The gangster under him also received Fang Baozhou's money and whispered: "Sir, I don't think Fang Baozhou is so ignorant. Maybe there is something hidden in it."

Wei Tianjue stepped on his shoes and walked around the bedroom, thinking thoughtfully and said: "Find Fang Baozhou first."

"Master, what do you mean?"

"Let him write a confession and then kill the person. Everything is put on him. It has nothing to do with us."

The rogue subordinate was startled, and then he realized how serious the matter was. The next moment, he nodded quickly: "Yes, I will arrest them right away!" When the matter got to the point where people were about to die, with his little friendship with Fang Baozhou, he It’s not like he can continue to guarantor people anymore.

The more Wei Tianjue thought about it, the more frightened he became. What he was afraid of was no longer whether he could kill Wang Wenlong, but that this matter was related to him. He had to kill Fang Baozhou before the people in the yamen caught Fang Baozhou to avoid him. Tell the Yamen some truth about yourself.

As long as Fang Baozhou doesn't let go, he will have a chance to return the favor.

When Wei Tianjue's men rode fast horses to Fang Baozhou's home, Fang Baozhou's family greeted him warmly.

"Where is Fang Baozhou now? Call him out quickly. Mr. Wei is here to invite you!"

Hearing this, Fang Baozhou's wife was also stunned:
"Didn't he go to Mr. Wei's house early in the morning?"

"what?"

Outside Fuzhou City, Fang Baozhou was running away with several of his followers.

He paid more attention to the issue of leaflets than Wei Tianjue, but he knew something had changed when he noticed two leaflets appeared on the interface.

He didn't even know how the second demon book came out, but the content in the demon book frightened him.

The person who wrote the demon book may be Wei Tianjue, or it may be some other case. Fang Baozhou doesn't want to think about it. What he knows is that he is the weakest among these forces. No matter which faction wants to take advantage of this matter, he is the most dangerous. .

So Fang Baozhou immediately chose to run away.

Fang Baozhou's servant gasped and asked, "Master, where are we going this time?"

"First go to Fuqing Countryside and hide for a few days to see which way the wind blows."

"But the madam, the young master and the young lady are all in Fuzhou and have not been picked up."

"Grandma, I don't have time to take care of myself. How can you ask me to answer it?"

"I have money around me, and I will just marry another wife, and the child will be born in two years. Now it is important to save my life, why are you thinking about going back!"...

Anyone with a brain can imagine the political sensitivity of the Demon Book Case.

In the Ming Dynasty, cases under imprisonment were basically handled by local county magistrates and prefects. Only cases involving higher criminal responsibilities would be handed over to the province's sentencing envoy, that is, Nie Tai.

And if the demon book case really comes to light, not only the provincial prosecutors but also the Fusi of Jinyiweinan Town may get involved.

The more people involved, the more passive local officials will be. At that time, no higher-level officials in the province will be able to escape. Therefore, for officials at all levels from the governor of Fujian to the magistrates of Fuzhou and two counties, the best thing to do at this time is The choice is to solve the case as quickly as possible.

So when Xu Xueju hurriedly approached Jin Xuezeng, Jin Xuezeng immediately sent his subordinate Shen Yourong, the commander-in-chief of Haitan, to arrest him.

This is also convenient for local officials to investigate cases.

Neither the imperial guards nor the inspectors are actually responsible for guarding one side, and their subordinates cannot easily mobilize troops. However, the subordinates of local officials such as governors, prefects, and county magistrates often obey the orders of their own troops.

The Zhejiang soldiers under Jin Xuezeng began to be formed in the 22nd year of Wanli. At that time, a famine in Fuzhou led to a civil uprising, and the local guards could not suppress it. Jin Xuezeng transferred the Zhejiang soldiers to suppress the situation.

At this time, Fujian's top officials, governors and chief envoys were all from Zhejiang, and they had more trust in the Zhejiang soldiers. These Zhejiang soldiers were transferred from other places and had relatively simple relationships with the local area. They could also reduce entanglements when handling cases, so they were favored by all Fuzhou officials. Welcome.

Shen Yourong led these guard soldiers to fight against Japanese pirates, and some of them even went to Korea. Their combat effectiveness was far beyond that of ordinary government officials. And because everyone in Fuzhou Prefecture knew the urgency of this matter, the squads in the squad rooms of the two counties of the state capital All the heads were also involved in the search.

They are all husbands, the kind that would make the King of Hell tremble when he sees them.

After Shen Yourong caught Lin Tiansheng, he threw him into a black cell and started beating him. He didn't ask any questions during the whole process and didn't answer no matter what Lin Tiansheng said.

Lin Tiansheng completely collapsed when he saw that the clock was missing and it took enough time to burn a stick of incense.

These businessmen ignored him at all, and everything from their body language to their expressions told him that they didn't care whether they beat him to death.

Under this situation, Lin Tiansheng said everything, not to survive, but just to suffer less before death:
"I said, I said, the person who gave me the money was a round-faced man with no beard and a gold seal tattooed on his face."

"I distributed it all the way from the south gate. I distributed it on two streets, no, three streets."

"When that person chased me, I threw away all the flyers. I only handed out that pile."

"I just took three taels of silver from them and kept it all in my pocket. I didn't hide any of it. What I told was all the truth!"

"Don't hit me, sir. What I said is all the truth."

Shen Yourong put his hands on his hips and listened to the experience of being born in Quanzhou as he translated Lin Tiansheng's words.

The yamen official on the side asked Lin Tiansheng again about the location and shape of the golden seal on the face of the contact person, and then quickly came to the conclusion:

"It's Zhao San from Guanqian Street. He is now working with Fang Baozhou."

The squad leader thought for a while and then added hesitantly: "Fang Baozhou is now relying on Wei Tianjue as his backer. That Wei Tianjue is a member of Eunuch Gao."

Shen Yourong frowned for a moment: "Why is Eunuch Gao involved in this matter?"

He shook his head: "Don't worry about this anymore, hurry up and arrest people at Fang Baozhou's house."

Several general managers hurried out, while the remaining squad leaders continued to torture Lin Tiansheng to see if they could get any useful information.
