Chapter 80 Kill
Chapter 80
It was bright, and the Jinyiwei government yard gradually became lively. Han Zongqi, who had a day off and waited for a joke, came very early. He wanted to know how Song Nan reacted after the case happened in Zhengdongfang last night.
He hummed a little song and stepped into the courtyard and habitually greeted the captains in the courtyard, but faintly found that something was wrong; because he saw Song Nan standing on the steps and looking at him with a smile. Next to Song Nan stood Zheng Da, Huang Hui and several small flags on duty last night.
A trace of uneasiness in his heart, Zheng Da, Huang Hui and others looked at their eyes with obvious gloating. Then, the afterglow of the corners of his eyes found that the gate of the garden behind him had been quietly blocked by four flag schools.
"Morning everyone! Song Baihu is so early. Why is Zheng Zongqi so early today? Didn't you take a leave?" Han Zongqi was composure and bowed his hand to salute.
Song Nan smiled and said, "Han Zongqi, good morning, we are waiting for you."
"Wait for me? What's the matter?" Mr. Han's heart thumped.
"Well, it's not a big deal. I caught a few little thieves last night. I thought they were just chickens and dogs, but I didn't expect to attract a big man."
Han Zongqi asked nervously, "Who was caught? Where did you catch it?"
Song Nan said, "The thief's first name is Qiu Wu in Cai's restaurant in Zhengdongfang. Han's flag is not strange."
The sweat on Han's forehead came out and forced himself to calm down: "Qi Wu? There seems to be such a person in Zhengdongfang. He is just a gangster on the street. It's okay to catch him. Let them go and let them go.
Song Nan laughed and waved his hand in laughter. Zheng Da ordered loudly, "Come on, take down Han Gui."
Several flag schools answered loudly, went forward and around Han's flag, grabbed his arms, grabbed his arms, and forked his neck to firmly control him.
The captains in the yard who didn't know what happened last night were shocked. Han Zongqi was usually popular and had a good impression among the captains. Suddenly, he was ordered by Song Baihu to take it down. Everyone was shocked and there were many whispered discussions.
Han Gui shouted, "What are you doing? Song Baihu, what does this mean? Zheng Zongqi, are you confused? I'm Han Gui."
Zheng Da scolded, "Why don't I know you are Han Gui? It's you, the bad bastard."
Han Gui shouted, "Why take me? What did I do wrong? Song Nan, you are lawless. I want to see Lord Qianhu to accuse you.
Song Nan waved his hand and said, "Don't make any noise. Why did you take you? You and I know that Qiu Wu and a gangster have confessed their business with you. In front of the brothers, I will leave you some face. Don't let me hold your hair and reward you with a few mouths. Let's go to Lord Qianhu. This is the book. Report it to him when you come."
After saying that, Song Nan ignored Han Gui's quarrel, glanced at the dozens of stunned captains under the stage, and shouted, "Brothers, Han Gui colluded with the gangsters to do evil, condoned the bandits to poison the people, and designed a trap to pull Mr. Zheng's water in an attempt to force me to leave Zhengnanfang. Now that the evidence is conclusive, I will handle it impartially and hand it over to Qianhutang. I know that some of you have a good relationship with him and some of you are involved in this matter, but I don't want to hold you accountable. If any brother feels that life is dull and wants to come to the muddy water, it's up to you. From now on, all of them will go into the public room and sit quietly. Don't go out before I come back, talk about this matter, and don't spread rumors and make trouble. Otherwise, don't blame me Song Nan for turning against anyone.
Most people are stunned, but many people have long known that Han Gui colluded with the bandits and condoned them to do evil in Zhengdongfang. As accompanying captains, how can they not know? It's just that they have got some benefits. Just open one eye and close the other. Song Baihu said that they don't blame the past. Who will be stupid to be the first bird? It's better to shut up and watch it turn out.
Song Nan ordered people to drag Qiu Wu and others out of the execution room. Everyone saw that the eight bandits were completely covered with blood, and they could imagine that it must have been the result of last night's torture to extract confessions.
Han Gui saw at a glance that Qiu Wu's hands and feet were ulcerated, and his whole body was full of flesh and blood was blurred. Suddenly, his legs softened and collapsed to the ground. Now that he had been tortured, as a brocade guard, he naturally knew that no one could withstand those punishments at all. Confes were inevitable, and he must have been confessed by Qiu Wu.
More than 20 flag school dragged and pulled Han Gui, Qiu Wu and others to the Yamen lobby. Along the way, the brocade guards of other hundreds of households cast surprised eyes, especially when they saw that Han's flag was also tied like rice dumplings.
Peng Wanli, who received the report, didn't know what had happened. He quickly took people from behind to the public room to the lobby of the front yard and saw a pile of bloody prisoners lying crookedly under the hall. Han Gui was also among them and quickly asked, "Song Baihu, what's going on?"
Song Nan arched his hand to salute, Han Gui and Qiu Wu and others's relationship and the arrest of Qiu Wu and others last night.
Peng Wanli was shocked and said, "Is there such a thing? Can I have a confession?"
Song Nan waved to Sun San to submit all the confessions and said, "In addition to Han Gui's confessions, the rest are here. The confessions also include two murder cases, three burgundancy cases and more than a dozen fights and injuries."
Peng Wanli quickly turned over the confession and suddenly patted the table and shouted, "Damn it. It's really disgusting. Han Gui, you are so bold that you dare to collude with this group of thugs to do evil and lose my face in Zhengnanfang. Can you plead guilty?"
Han Gui shouted, "Please forgive me, Lord Qianhu, for the sake of Han Gui's more than ten years of service in Zhengnanfang, please forgive the momentary confusion of his subordinates. They are all forced by Qiu Wu, otherwise how can I condone them?"
Peng Wanli said angrily, "I'm willing to fall, but I blame others. Someone came to record a confession for him, so that he can really ask."
Han Gui shouted for mercy and was dragged aside by the flag colonel in the hall. Without saying a word, he began to beat him on the board. Song Nan thought that after all, thousands of households handled cases were different. They were tortured because they refused to recruit. Peng Qianhu didn't care whether you recruit or not.
In fact, Song Nan still doesn't understand the hidden meaning of Peng Wanli's words. Jinyiwei prisoners generally have several customary terms; the first is called 'asking', which means that the prisoner can be beaten without saying anything if he confesses; the second is called 'good life asking questions', which means that no matter what he beats first and then asks a confession, but Pay attention to moderation when beating, and don't hurt your life; the third is that the sentence 'ask honestly' is a secret life-threatening charm, regardless of life or death.
What Peng Qianhu said is the third kind of 'good life and honest question'. That is, the lieutenant who wants to be executed doesn't care about Han Gui's life or death, just beat him, and it's better to kill him.
Several officers in the hall who knew the doorway were very surprised. According to reason, Han Gui should immediately obtain a confession and report to the Fusi of Beizhen for such a big thing. In the Qianhu government, there was only the right to interrogate but not the right to sentence him. Peng Qianhu hinted at the death of this person. Is it? Are you really angry that Zhengnanfang has a scum, which corrupts Zhengnanfang's reputation, and fails to be in a moment of rage?
Song Nan didn't have so many ideas. The prisoner was handed over to Peng Qianhu, and he also fell relaxed. It was normal for Han Gui's crime to be punished.
However, he saw Peng Qianhu walking down the hall with a smile and patted Song Nan on the shoulder and said, "Song Baihu is very good. He is young but very resourceful. In his last few days, he captured the thug of Zhengdongfang and dug out Han Gui, the scum; to tell you the case of two foreign tea merchants in Zhengdongfang has not been solved, and I have also been arrested. I have been reprimanded many times, but I didn't expect that it was the work of Qiu Wuyi. Today, I also had a concern in the government office in Zhengnanfang. Well done. I want to report this matter to Xiao Zhenfu to make him happy.
Song Nan arched his hand and said, "Luckily, fortunately, if Han Gui hadn't hit my head and forced me to investigate his background, I wouldn't have solved the murder by mistake."
Peng Wanli laughed and said, "It's good to be proud of your achievements."
Song Nan took out a copy from his sleeve and handed it to Peng Wanli and said, "According to the rules, this case must be written and reported. I have already written it here. Can Peng Qianhu see if it can be returned?"
Peng Wanli looked at the results and immediately smiled and said, "It's well written. The writing is smooth and the narrative is clear. It's better than what my scribe wrote. I won't change it and submit it directly."
Song Nan arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your praise and resignation."
Peng Wanli smiled and said, "Go ahead. This case is handed over to me. In addition, you tell Zheng Da that he is also at fault, but I will share it for him and tell him to do a good job. Don't worry."
Song Nan hurriedly said, "Thank you for your understanding. Zheng Zongqi was also under my order to lie with them. Lord Qianhu can understand this and thank you very much."
Peng Wanli smiled and nodded, and Song Nan saluted again and took people away.
Looking at Song Nan's departure, Peng Wanli looked at the * face of the report in his hand and smiled: "This boy is quite sensible. In the submission, he said that this case was under his own deployment plan. He expected that the enemy would first come to wait for the rabbit, and the last net was captured. He is a very good boy; just... Hey, Song Nan, do you know that you have cut off one of my financial ways? Han Gui filial piety to me hundreds of taels of silver every year. Although I don't know about his collusion with the thugs, it is obvious that these silver is not right. If you catch him to track them down, it is inevitable that you will implicate me.
Peng Wanli stood at the door of the lobby and was full of thoughts. A execution lieutenant quickly ran from the side hall and reported, "Lord Qianhu, Han Gui has been unconscious several times and unconscious. What should I do now?"
Peng Wanli frowned and said, "I wrote a confession from the librical and pressed his fingerprints."
The captain said, "What about Han Gui?"
Peng Wanli clenched his teeth and said, "This is a heinous crime. Obviously, he pretended to be dead. He woke up with water and continued to fight."
The captain still asked, and Peng Wanli stared, "What are you saying? Why don't you go? This man is not wronged even if he is beaten to death, and he is not severely punished. How can he serve as an example? In the end, everyone went to collude with the thugs. Are we still a brocade guard?
Of course, the execution lieutenant understood what Peng Wanli meant. Without saying a word, he turned back. After a while, the sound of torture in the hall rose again. Han Gui still had a sound at the beginning. Later, there was no sound.
