Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 465 Autumn Fu (21)

Everyone shouted "here" in unison.Sun Ruiwu and Wu Ya's hearts sank, this meant building a big prison.The two of them still don't know exactly who their spearhead will be pointed at, but it is certain that the situation in Lingao will change drastically after this case.

With the city gate and county government under control, Wu De has moved the headquarters to Zhang Youfu's Zhuangzi so that he can command nearby.Zhang Youfu's whole family, including his helpers, were sent to Dongmen City together, and some people entertained them with delicious food and drink for a few days.

"Call the planning committee immediately and ask them to allocate [-] sets of Ming Dynasty clothes to Zhang Youfu's village, as soon as possible." Wu De issued an order beside a large wooden table.

"Have the translators drawn from the national school come?"

"Here we are, gathering in the yard."

"Let them change as soon as the clothes arrive, and escort them into the city to the county government."

……

In the county government office, Zhou Dongtian issued the order as soon as he had the power in his hand, and ordered Fu He, the leader of the fast class, to be passed on immediately.

"This is Mr. Zhou," Sun Dianshi introduced succinctly. "This time, he is here to assist in the case of intimidating the nobles with knives and arrows. His orders are the orders of this officer, and also the meaning of Mr. Wu. Wait a minute." Do you understand?"

The two of them couldn't figure out what was going on, so they could only answer: "Yes."

"Okay, I will bring more people immediately, and I will give you a day to hunt down the sword-throwing and archery man in the city." Zhou Dongtian said with a smile, "If you really get it, don't just find some random people to take the blame. Go quickly." Then he dropped the torch.

Fu He obediently backed down.Of course, this matter is not difficult. Lingao County is very small, and his brothers in Kuaiban and the help of "doing public work" can turn the whole world upside down in half a day.What's more, most of the people who can do this kind of thing with their own hands are street rascals. He knows exactly how many such people there are in the whole county.

But this matter involved Chen Minggang.If you really want to arrest someone, you don't need to use torture for this kind of little rascal, and you have to confess cleanly as soon as the master's official authority comes out.The relationship between myself and the old eighth has ended.

Now I made up my mind to talk to Chen Minggang first.If Chen Minggang was on the road and was willing to give some money, I would naturally cover the seams for him. If he didn't know the way, then he would have to deal with business.

Chen Minggang was discussing matters with his subordinates in his own mansion - he heard the news yesterday, and was taken aback at that time, it was too unexpected, he didn't ask anyone to do it!But after this incident came out, the whole county would think that he did it!

What the hell does this mean?Chen Minggang couldn't figure it out after much deliberation.But he immediately understood that he had become a thorn in the side of the big gentry.Could it be that Huang Yinkun ordered people to do it?

He asked his subordinates to go out to inquire about the news, and each of them went without returning.While he was restless and helpless, someone reported: Fuhe is here.

Fu He is the leader of the fast shift, and he doesn't have much communication with him on weekdays. His sudden visit is obviously something to do.Chen Minggang hurriedly said: "Please!"

When Fu He came into the room, he was not polite, he just stared at Chen Minggang, which made him feel uncomfortable.He smiled and said, "Old Fu! You have something to say here! Don't stare like a bull!"

Fu He sneered: "Old Ba! You are too bold! How dare you do such a thing. Do you really think the surname of Lingao County is Chen?"

"I didn't do the thing of throwing knives and archery," Chen Minggang categorically denied.

"Did you do it? When you get to the hall, you can tell the masters by yourself."

"Why, the master passed me on?"

"The fire lottery has already been issued, and immediately arrest the gangster who throws knives and shoots arrows. Once this kind of youngster is brought to the court, he will confess everything!" Fu He put on a face that was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, "You still think about it carefully." Think about what to do!"

Chen Ming just saw his face, and knew that it would be useless to distinguish.He made it clear that he was blackmailing himself.Even if he doesn't admit it, he will find a few people to teach the confession, and he will bite himself in court.

"I didn't do it. I wouldn't do such a stupid thing." Chen Minggang put on a serious face, "I think it might be Huang Tingkun who did it—let the rich people deal with it." My brother." He sighed, "I have offended too many people when I take this job. I also want to ask you to speak well for me, old Fu." He called an apprentice to come in, "Go, go to the backyard Go, tell your wife to take 40 taels of silver."

This number satisfies Fuhe.He took the money and said with a smile: "Baby, that's interesting! This thing must be done by Huang Tiankun!"

"Thank you." Chen Minggang bowed his hands and thanked, "I will not send you away."

Looking at the back of Fu He going out, Chen Minggang sneered.What did Huang Tikun do?If you really admit it like this, you, Fuhe, are asking for trouble!Who is Huang Tingkun, the second son of Huang Shoutong, the largest family in Lingao, and a dignified student member of the county.To prove that he is the mastermind behind the scenes, it is impossible to do it without the secretary of the criminal room and the master to hook up and down.

Fu He took the money, went back to the teahouse where he used to sit when he was handling cases in front of the county government office, told his subordinates to find three gangsters in the county, and promised each of them two taels of silver, which counted as shooting arrows and throwing knives. gangster.

"...Go to the hall, no matter what the gentlemen ask, as long as you insist that Li Gong ordered you to do what you want!" Fu He took a sip of tea, "Maybe the higher-ups don't believe it, and they will punish you. Just don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Whether it's the board or the stick, I'll take care of it. Small sufferings are inevitable, and I will never let you suffer serious punishments."

One of them said: "Futou! This is easy, but where did the knife and bow and arrow come from? There must be a way to explain it—"

There used to be blacksmiths in the county, but now they are gone.If you want to buy ironware, you have to go to Dongmen City.That is the territory of the Australians, and if you talk nonsense, it will be bad if the Australians are involved.

"Just say that Li Gong gave it to you." Fu He said.When the time comes, the torture tools will be added, and Li Gong will have to confess everything.

Immediately put all three of them on chains and put them in the teahouse first, and they can only go to court tomorrow morning.One of Fu He's subordinates asked in a low voice: "Futou! Didn't you say you want them to identify Huang Tikun..."

"You are so confused!" Fu He reprimanded, "Who is Huang Tikun, can we afford to mess with him!" He sneered, and he could not directly testify against Huang Tikun, not even his servants.Fortunately, Li Xiaopeng was the one who ran the most strenuously around him recently.To say that his servant instigated it is to point the finger at Huang Tikun.He can also extort a large sum of money from the Li family.This is killing two birds with one stone.

While he was calculating how much he should ask for benefits from the Li family, some subordinates came in and told him that many strange faces had suddenly appeared in the city, and they were scattered in small groups on the main roads of the county.The gates of the city are allowed to enter but not to exit.

"Don't be too busy, most likely the Australians have entered the city. They are here for security." Fu He thought that since several Australian chiefs came, they would naturally send people to guard the city, which was also expected.

"Tell the brothers, don't go to the streets if you have nothing to do, and stay in the yamen to wait for orders, so as not to cause trouble!" Fu He knew that his group of people were used to running rampant in the city, and if there was a conflict with the Australians, they would never No good fruit to eat.

"Stay all in the county office?"

"This is a case handled by the Australian master himself, everyone should be curt!"

Zhou Dongtian honestly and unceremoniously took the County Government Flower Hall as his headquarters, receiving intelligence and messages from all over the place.And set up all kinds of equipment needed in the flower hall.In the end, he asked Wang Zhaomin to come forward, and invited all the big gentry families involved in the case, as well as Huang Tikun, Li Xiaopeng and others from the county school, to come to the county government office for a hearing tomorrow morning.

After arranging everything, he left You Guotuan to sit in the county government, and went out of the city to Zhang Youfu's village to report to Wu De.

"It seems that Fu He really went to find Chen Minggang. He also found an unrelated person to take the blame." Zhou Dongtian read the surveillance report sent by Zhou Botao, "These subordinates are really intertwined."

"This time, we must completely dismember them so that they cannot become a force." Wu De said, "Serve us honestly."

"There is no need to subdue them, just capture them all. Didn't we prepare manpower to take over?"

"I thought so too at first. Reshuffle the cards by violent means. It is easy and clean." Wu De said, "But since we still want to play the banner of Ming Dynasty, we have to maintain the Lingao County Government's 'Ming Pi Ao Xin'. '. Daily yamen affairs also have to be dealt with, such as how to handle the payment of grain and taxes? How to go through the formalities, and how to reply to the paperwork from the yamen above? These Ming administrative procedures are only understood by the subordinate staff. Therefore, it is necessary to retain some people."

"In this case, wouldn't they be able to rely on this to coerce us again?"

"Hehe, officials of Ming Dynasty are easy to be hijacked by them because they are under the same system. What officials want is to be safe and get rich. We just borrow this cover temporarily, and we don't want to be officials of Ming Dynasty." Wood said, "They can fool us once, but they have no chance of cheating the second time. After the first person who makes this mistake appears, I believe that no one will make the same mistake."

He continued: "Even if they are the most stubborn villains, they still have wives and children. I believe that if a person is to be strong enough to disregard his wife and children, he must have extremely strong beliefs."

The belief of the subordinate staff is to make money.Such beliefs generally do not stand the test of time.

After Wu De and Zhou Dongtian discussed the procedures and important matters of tomorrow's interrogation, they contacted Yanghe to confirm whether the barracks of the "study class" specially prepared for the subordinate officials in the county government were repaired and ready for use at any time.Then, he inquired about the availability of personnel dispatched by the Army.

"Infantry entering the city should change into Ming Dynasty clothes. Don't bring rifles, just bring spears." Wu De gave instructions on his mobile phone, "Bring more rope and headgear."
