Concubine

Chapter 228 The Fish That Slipped Through the Net (Seeking a Monthly Ticket)

Song Yuner was very happy, and asked Yang Qiuchi: "Brother, how did you find out that the silver is in the wood? I saw that the policemen also checked the wood, why didn't they find it?"

"Obviously, these carpenters saw that it was difficult to pass through the strict search of the city gate, so they hollowed out the big log, melted the silver into pieces of silver sticks, stuffed them into the holes in the log, and then plugged the entrance. Although these carpenters The workmanship is exquisite, and there is no gap in the cross-sectional plug, but there is a flaw that they didn't pay attention to, and they couldn't cover it up."

"What flaw?"

"This piece of cork is movable and can be removed. Because of this, these days, due to the different degrees of moisture evaporation between the cork and the wood itself, the degree of dryness and wetness are different. If you observe and touch carefully, you can find it."

Song Yun'er suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "You are so amazing, you can discover all of this!"

Yang Qiuchi smiled: "Didn't I say that any crime will leave traces, it depends on whether you can find it."

Kang Huai listened on the sidelines, and even raised his thumbs in admiration: "No wonder Gu Fuyin praised Mr. Yang that you solve crimes like a god. You are a promising young man. It's really good. Thanks to Mr. Yang's help this time, otherwise, I, Wu Sha If you can't keep it out, I'm afraid there will be a prison sentence!"

Yang Qiuchi hastily said a few words of humility.

Kang Huai ordered that the big man Hua Gang, who had colluded with the guards to steal the silver, and Li Carpenter, the owner of the shop and workshop, be escorted over.These people were escorted to the backyard. When they saw the several silver sticks piled on the ground, although their faces changed, they all insisted that they didn't know how this piece of wood came from.The big man Huagang struggled desperately, cursing a few times from time to time.

Yang Qiuchi is too lazy to talk to them now, and seeing that the fire in the workshop shop has been completely extinguished, he stepped into the room to check carefully, and found a large melting pot in the room, studied it for a while with great interest, and already had a bottom line in his heart .

When Kang Huai found the silver, the big stone in his heart fell to the ground. This person got all the stolen goods, even if they refused to confess their crimes, they were not afraid, just tortured slowly.He ordered all the silver ingots and criminals to be escorted back to the Yamen for trial.

A group of people returned to the yamen, and met Bai Sumei, mother and daughter, and two escort officers coming out of the yamen.Seeing Yang Qiuchi, Bai Sumei showed joy and was about to say hello when she saw a lot of people behind him, as well as a gang of criminals, so she hurried to the side of the road.

Along the way, the big Han Huagang was yelling curses.Jin Yiwei was very annoyed, he kept beating him all the way, and lowered his head so hard that it almost hit the ground, so he staggered forward all the way.Hua Gang is very stubborn, and this time he can't stop scolding.

Yang Qiuchi walked over and asked the escort officer: "How is it? Have you completed the transfer procedures?"

The two officials hurriedly bowed and saluted and replied: "Report to your lord: the handover procedures have been completed, and the matter of sending it to the prison will be handed over to this place."

Yang Qiuchi nodded: "Very well, you two have worked hard, and I will arrange things later. You can go back to the capital after you have a rest." He took out two ingots of silver from his arms and handed them, "It's a small thing, please The two laugh."

These two escort officers are simply traveling around the mountains and rivers. There is no hard work. Knowing that Mr. Yang in front of him is righteous and generous, he no longer refuses. After bowing and thanking him, he hands He took it, bid farewell to Yang Qiuchi and left.

After Yang Qiuchi sent the two officials away, he found that both Bai Sumei and Mrs. Bai were looking nervously at the group of people who had just been captured and passed by them, and asked, "Sumei, what's wrong?"

Bai Sumei pointed to the back of the big man Hua Gang, and said in a trembling voice: "That man... that man's voice... seems... like my father's former general, the general who led the team to protect Luanjia and then rebelled against him. Boss! My name is Wu Yangjun!"

Mrs. Bai's eyes seemed to burst into flames: "That's right, the voice is his, and the body shape is exactly the same! It must be in makeup!"

Yang Qiuchi's head went bang, and he hurriedly asked in surprise: "Are you reading that right?"

"That's right!" Mrs. Bai said angrily, "He conspired against himself, and caused our master to be beheaded. I know his voice and appearance turned into ashes!"

Bai Sumei also said: "It's Wu Yangjun! That's right, he was my father's former assistant, and he often came to my house to play. His voice and appearance are exactly the same, so there's no mistake!"

Those people had gone far away, Yang Qiuchi was surprised and delighted, chased after them, and suddenly shouted loudly from behind: "Wu Yangjun, General Manager Wu!"

The big man Huagang suddenly heard someone calling his original name and official title behind him, so he stopped involuntarily and turned his head.Yang Qiuchi sneered and said, "It really is you, Mr. Wu! You never thought you would meet acquaintances here in Kunming, thousands of miles away from the capital?"

Hua Gang also sneered, "I don't know what you're talking about?" But when he saw Mrs. Bai and Bai Sumei coming up behind Yang Qiuchi, his expression changed drastically.

Yang Qiuchi took a closer look at his face, then suddenly reached out and grabbed the back of his ear and pulled it violently, a human skin mask was peeled off, revealing a completely different face.

"Wu Yangjun! You bastard! Give back my master's life!" Mrs. Bai had already followed her, and after seeing this face, she hissed.On the way, she had already picked up a stone and hid it behind her back. At this moment, a stone was thrown in the past. Huagang was firmly held by the Jinyi guards on both sides, and there was nowhere to hide. The stone hit his mouth and nose, and he screamed. With a sound, the nose bleeds profusely, and the front teeth were smashed out.

Mrs. Bai wanted to find Shitou, but Yang Qiuchi persuaded her: "Mrs. Bai, stop beating. This person is involved in the rebellion and will be executed by Ling Chi. Wouldn't it be easier for you to kill him now!" Bai Sumei also hurriedly stopped him. her mother.

Hua Gang spat out a mouthful of blood, and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law...sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I'm the one who got Brother Bai...I'm really sorry..."

After hearing his apology, Mrs. Bai already had a stone in her hand, and she couldn't bear to hit him again. Thinking of Mr. Bai Qian's tragic death, she was angry and sad, and couldn't help crying.

Kang Huai ran over and asked, "Master Yang, what's going on?"

Yang Qiuchi said: "Take these criminals to the lobby first, I have something to say to Mr. Kang."

Seeing his solemn expression, Kang Huai nodded quickly, and ordered to take Mrs. Bai and Bai Sumei to the living room to drink tea and wait, and bring these criminals to the lobby to wait for trial.

Yang Qiuchi and Kang Huai came to the back hall, and Yang Qiuchi showed Kang Huai the belt badge of his special envoy of Jinyiwei Commander.Kang Huai was shocked when he saw it, and he cupped his hands and saluted: "It turns out that Master Yang is the special envoy of Jin Yiwei Commander, please forgive the crime of negligence in his humble position."

Yang Qiuchi put away his badge and said, "My lord, you are welcome. I revealed my identity because Sumei and her mother and daughter recognized that Huagang was one of the rebel leaders who participated in the hijacking of the noble concubine Luanjia last year. His real name is Wu Yangjun. It turns out He is a general under Sumei's father Bai Qian."

"Really?" Kang Huai was surprised and delighted.

"Yes, since treason is involved, I will take over the case now."

"Humble job!" Kang Huai clapped his hands.

Back in the lobby, Kang Huai withdrew all the yamen servants, and all of them were guarded by Yang Qiuchi's brocade guards.Master Jin sat on the seat next to him and prepared to make a statement.

Yang Qiuchi ordered the big man to be brought to the lobby, and Yang Qiuchi asked: "Wu Yangjun, your makeup skills are not bad, you almost hid it from me, no wonder Jinyiwei couldn't find you all over the world. So you hid in the southwest Here you come, even in disguise. Where are your accomplices? You haven’t really recruited them!”

Wu Yangjun sneered: "Since it's already in your hands, you can kill or cut whatever you want, and you want me to say something, dreaming!" Mrs. Bai's stone knocked out a few of his teeth just now, and his words leaked out, Ula Ula Yes, the lips are swollen and high, and some nosebleeds are dripping down.

Seeing that he was still pretending to be a hero, Yang Qiuchi couldn't help laughing, and said to Nan Gongxiong: "I leave it to you, drag him down, you must pry his mouth open, but don't kill him!"

The interrogation of Wu Yangjun was not a question of pleading guilty or not, but a question of asking him to find out the whereabouts of his accomplices.

Regarding this problem, forensic medicine and reasoning can't help much. Besides, this person caused Bai Sumei's father to die tragically, and caused Bai Sumei's mother and daughter to be exiled. It is right to make him suffer, so I handed over this work to Jin Yiwei's guards Do it, they have experience with it.

After Nan Gongxiong ordered Wu Yangjun to be dragged down for interrogation, Yang Qiuchi ordered Li Carpenter to bring up the magical sword, and asked, "Are you telling the truth yourself, or are we beating you to tell the truth?"

Carpenter Li kowtowed to Yang Qiuchi a few times on his knees, with a smile on his face: "My lord, I really don't know how the money got into my backyard. I can swear, really, I didn't lie."

"Really? You didn't know that there was such a big log in the backyard of your workshop out of thin air? Could it be that the log fell from the sky?"

Carpenter Li looked innocent: "I really don't know, my lord."

Yang Qiuchi propped his chin with both hands, and said, "Okay, I'll ask you a few questions, and if you can explain it reasonably, I'll let you go right away!"

Carpenter Li's eyes lit up, and he agreed repeatedly.

Yang Qiuchi asked: "Is there a door in your backyard? - Remind you, we have seen the situation of your workshop just now, so don't try to lie!"

"The villain dare not, there is a small door."

"What's outside the door?"

"It's an alley."

"Where is your carpentry shop in the alley?"

"middle."

"How wide is the alley?"

Carpenter Li now somewhat understood Yang Qiuchi's intention for asking this question, and his face turned pale: "It can pass two horses in parallel."

"How long is the log with the silver on it?"

"It's more than ten feet long." Carpenter Li began to sweat on his forehead.

Yang Qiuchi continued to ask unhurriedly: "Can I enter through the back door through the alley?"

"This... can't."

"How high is the fence in your yard?"

"Two people tall."

"That log is so heavy, can it be thrown through the wall?"

At this moment, Carpenter Li had no blood on his face, and said in a low voice, "I can't."

"How did the other wood get to the backyard?"

"Carry it in directly from the front door of the workshop..."

"What about this piece of wood?"

Carpenter Li couldn't stand it any longer, and kowtowed again and again: "My lord, to tell you the truth, Nahuagang brought this wood in and put it in my place, and said it would be stored in my place for a few days, and he gave me a tael of silver as a preservation fee. I really didn't know there was stolen silver in that log."
