Sun Fujia did not answer him, but continued to ask: "Which thieves and bandits of Green Forest and Majiazhuang rice paper did you collude with? Tell me now."
"Sir, I will tell you, can you The punishment cannot be reduced."
"You dare to ask me for conditions?"
"Don't dare..."
Lu Changgeng's neck shrank. Just give in.
Because this time the people in Dali Temple are tougher than before.
Not only are they not afraid of the aristocratic family behind them, but their attitude is also very strong.
It seems like they don’t care if they don’t say it.
In order to reduce the evidence of guilt, Lu Changgeng did not dare to conceal it, but told everything.
"Sir, this group of green forest people is composed of people from all the mountains in Puzhou."
"Over the years, Yin Chao, Ma Lingzi and others have joined forces. We have some business dealings with them, and we are familiar with each other from time to time."
"This time, the eight of us gave them 3,000 yuan and asked them to rob Majiazhuang rice paper. After the limelight passed, the eight of us booksellers. Then buy the paper from them."
Such generous rewards and high-value rice paper.
These green forest bandits are only capable of holding back.
And there is no need to worry about sales of rice paper, as these booksellers will buy it back at a low price.
They only need to make one move to make tens of thousands of dollars, so why not do it?
Sun Fujia suddenly understood and nodded and said, "That's it!"
No wonder they couldn't find this huge group of thieves through various searches.
It turns out that they had already broken into pieces and returned to their respective hills.
The imperial court only targeted the targets on the big hills, and naturally forgot about the people on these small hills.
Sun Fujia's face was ashen and he said: "Come here, take him to the Dali Temple Prison, wait until the verdict is announced, and then punish him!"
Soon, the two Dali The temple jailer stepped forward and pulled the fat Lu Changgeng down.
Lu Changgeng shouted sternly: "Sir, give me a chance, I am willing to donate tens of thousands of silver to the court!"
The jailers stopped moving, their eyes gleaming.
"Humph!"
Sun Fujia was unmoved and waved his hands and said, "I just gave you the opportunity, but you don't know how to cherish it. What else can you say now?"
"Put him in jail. No one is allowed to visit the prison."
What he offended was Wang Jian, the imperial censor. Who dared to ruin his career for a small amount of money.
Master Wang brought down so many important ministers.
This glorious record can be traced!
"Yes."
The two jailers responded., and then escorted the person down with a look of regret.
Ten thousand guan!
They have to work for five thousand years without eating or drinking before they can save ten thousand guan.
The same is true for several other booksellers.
At first he refused to plead guilty, until a group of people from Yushitai came over with a pile of evidence and several witnesses.
They all confessed obediently.
Half an hour later, eight confession statements were handed over to Wang Jian.
"Master Wang, this confession is for Yushitai, please keep it."
"Okay, thank you."
Wang Jian looked at Dali Shaoqing Sun Fuga and nodded kindly.
This Sun Fujia, you say he has principles, he will bow to the important ministers in the court.
You might say he has no principles. Many criminals gave him bribes, but he refused to accept any money.
It’s easy for people like this to get along in the officialdom!
When Wang Jian opened his confession, his eyes became brighter when he saw that the actual perpetrators were people from various hills in Puzhou.
"You really don't know how to live or die!"
These green forest bandits are really courageous.
They actually touched the rice paper they worked so hard to produce in Majiazhuang.
And he also snatched 30 simple knives.

The next day, after the court meeting.
Wang Jian, Li Daozong and Dai Zhou went to Ganlu Hall in person to meet Li Shimin.
Together they presented the confession statement to Li Shimin and reported the person responsible for the robbery of the rice paper.
After hearing that more than ten groups of green forest bandits were attacking together, Li Shimin's face showed a trace of murderous intent.
Throughout the dynasties, rebels gathered in small groups and formed a huge force.
Now that this group of green forest bandits can get together, it proves that they have the consciousness and ability to judge when something happens.
The harmfulness has gone up a few levels!
Li Shimin directly ordered: "Niu Jinda, you lead the Qianniu Guards and Puzhou Zhechongfu soldiers, and I will wipe out this group of green forest bandits within three days!"
" After you find the rice paper in Majiazhuang, you must send it back intact."
Niu Jinda, the commander of Qianniu Guard, responded with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the general will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations and will take care of this group of people. Annihilate all the thieves!"
After Niu Jinda finished speaking, he left the Ganlu Hall, gathered his troops and set off directly.
...
Puzhou, Yongji County.
There is a group of bandits in the mountains. There are a hundred and eighty of them.
Because they are all young and strong, they are in Yongji County.With it, you can basically walk sideways.
Whether it is the government or the local small households, everyone is afraid of them.
Inside the cottage.
The boss, Wu Dingdang, was lying comfortably on a big mink chair, eating roast chicken and drinking wine.
They participated in the robbery of Majiazhuang rice paper, and without losing any soldiers, they got nearly 400 rice paper for nothing.
Moreover, there are 12 carts of rice paper in the warehouse, which can be sold to the big bosses for nearly 500 yuan in income.
From now on, I can enjoy this magical life every day.
While he was enjoying the delicious food, drinking wine, and dreaming sweet dreams, suddenly a painful cry came from outside the village.
Then the brothers cheered.
"The official is here!"
"The wind is tight and pulling!"
The wind is pulling and pulling is a code, which means that the person coming is very powerful. , they are completely invincible.
Wu Dingdang’s expression changed drastically, and he quickly stood up from the big mink chair.
Then rushed towards the back door path.
"Bang!"
A huge foot kicked him back, and he fell heavily to the dirt.
"Hiss~"
Wu Dingdang broke out in cold sweat from the pain.
Niu Jinda walked in with big strides, and then ordered Qian Niuwei: "Capture them and hand them over to the soldiers of Puzhou Zhechong Prefecture. Let's continue to the next hilltop!"
"Your Majesty."
The two Qianniu Guard men took Wu Dingdang out and threw him together with the other bandits who were captured alive.
After the Qianniu Guards left, Puzhou Zhechong Prefecture soldiers were responsible for tying up the robbers and raiding the bandits' dens.
Two days later.
All 35 hills in Puzhou were surrounded and wiped out.
Except for a small number of bandits who were killed on the spot, most of the bandits were kidnapped and taken to Chang'an.
The lost rice paper and simple knife were returned to Majiazhuang Rice Paper Shop intact.
The next two days.
Yushitai put the bandits on trial again, and finally punished them one by one according to the severity of the crimes they committed.
Eight booksellers, including Lu Changgeng, Yin Chao, and Ma Lingzi, not only oppressed the people, but each of them was responsible for no less than five murders.
They, the main culprits, and their family members were all taken to Dongshi to be beheaded.
Eighty percent of the family assets were confiscated, and all illegally acquired fields were returned to the people.
Among the more than 1,000 bandits, more than 30% of them were guilty of murder, and all of them should be executed.
The rest were sentenced to 10 years of hard labor at the border.
You can only leave after serving your sentence.
