Chapter 14 The plaintiff becomes the defendant

Yinshi, the back hall of the Yamen.

Mr. Wei put on some casual clothes, held a cup of hot tea, and came to sit down in the room.

Judging from his half-dead expression, he was not only irritable when someone woke him up at this point, but his blood pressure was also a little high

Of course, this is normal. He has never gotten up so early since he took office in Shanghai County; when he was still an official in the capital many years ago, there was an early morning court, so he couldn't afford it at this point, but this was the first time in the local area. .

"Yes." After Mr. Wei sat down, he took a sip of hot tea. After drinking it, he let out a sigh, then half-closed his eyelids and said in a deep voice. The master next to him said, "What's the matter? It's urgent right now. I can't even wait until dawn."

This master is one of the master's own, and he doesn't talk so much in private. Wandering around, "Sir, it's Liu Li who asked me to wake you up and tell you that there's something you need to hear immediately, and you must be in the back hall."

"Hey this Liu Li, when will it be his turn to command me?" Mr. Wei looked unhappy and looked at the master with a complaining look, "You too, you won't block anything he says."

"Oh, it's blocked." The master also looked helpless and said in a long voice, "When he came to me, I told him that I woke him up in the middle of the night. No, let him wait for another hour or two until something clears up before we talk about it. But Liu Li pulled me and said that this matter was of great importance, and neither he nor I could afford it, so there was nothing I could do. "

"Oh, okay, okay, where are the people now?" Mr. Wei asked in an impatient tone while rubbing his forehead.

"We are waiting outside." After the master replied, he paused for half a second and added, "In addition to the government servants, there were twenty other people who came with him."

"So many people." Mr. Wei's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he asked suspiciously, "What is this Liu Li doing?"

"I also asked this, but he said that he would inform you personally. , refused to tell me." When the master said this, he frowned, looking quite dissatisfied with Liu Captou's move.

"Okay, then let him come in alone first." Mr. Wei thought for a moment and then said, "I want to hear what he is doing."

The master had already given the order, so the master stopped saying anything and immediately went out to report.

After a while, Capt. Liu walked into the room and closed the door behind him.

"Greetings, sir. It's really an emergency tonight, so I came to alert you. I hope you can forgive me." This Capt. Liu is also an old man, and he has followed more than just this one. , so he knows what to say to whom he meets.

When Mr. Wei saw the other party coming in, he knelt down first, saluted, explained, and admitted his mistake, and most of his anger was gone.

"Hey, Capt. Liu has been working all night for the people, eradicating violence and bringing peace to the people. What crime is he guilty of?" As for Mr. Wei, although he is a corrupt official, he is not incompetent; at this moment, he has never woken up from his sleep.I calmed down a little and calmed down again. I calmed down and thought about Liu Li. He has always been experienced in doing things. If it was not really urgent, he would not have rashly disturbed me in this late night. I'd better put on my posture and sing first. Keep a low profile and listen carefully to what he has to say. If nothing happens, I will settle the score with him.

"Thank you, Master, for showing kindness to your subordinates and caring for the people like a son. I really made my subordinates burst into tears of gratitude." On the other side, Liu Li also had a set of words. Anyway, there is no tax on flattery.

"Uh, Capt. Liu." After listening to a few words, Mr. Wei felt tired and panicked, so he wanted to get to the point, "Then what is it that makes you so anxious?"

"Sir, it's like this"

Then, Liu Li went on to explain what he had seen, heard and deduced tonight.

"Yes." After listening to this, Mr. Wei summarized it in his mind, and then continued, "According to your opinion, this matter was roughly a few hours ago, when Jin Xun led a group of men. , pretending to be Cao Le, robbed a family, and then went to blame three outsiders who had conflicts with him during the day, and these three people were friends of Boss Ding. "

"Yes." Liu Captou replied confidently.

"Are you sure what you found is true? These three people are really friends of Boss Ding." Mr. Wei carefully confirmed again.

The focus of this confirmation is obviously not whether Jin Xun impersonated Cao Le to commit robbery. After all, Jin Xun’s character can only be understood by everyone. The point is that the three people who were framed were really The answer to the question "Is he Ding's friend?" determines how to handle this case.

"My subordinate is doing something, sir, don't you know yet?" Liu Lize replied, "On the way I brought them back, I sent someone to Xinghui Tower to check it out. Guess what the result was?" Of course, Liu Li didn't really want the master to guess. He wasn't that bold. This sentence was just a hint. After saying that, he immediately asked himself, "According to some guests over there, not only were these three people... Boss Ding personally received them, and later they even allowed Miss Qian to come to the room to have dinner with them in person. It wasn’t over yet, and I don’t know how Miss Qian offended them at the dinner party, and in the end she was scolded bloody by them. Yes, when it was over, Miss Qian actually paid for the meal. The three of them turned around and left."

"What?" When Mr. Wei heard this, he almost held the tea cup in his hand. The children were all frightened, "This is true."

"It's absolutely true. Many people can prove it." Liu Li replied, "Even those stars who are not convenient to say too much." The guys from Huilou also acquiesced evasively."

"Hiss" Mr. Wei took a breath of cold air and said in his heart, Jin Xun, Jin Xun, the goods on the ground will not mess with you. You are going to die for messing with the devil in the sky

"What about them now?" Master Wei asked again.

"They are all outside." Liu Li replied, "Jin Xun, his gang of gangsters, and the three people he blamed are all here, and the other three are here. The stolen goods found in people's rooms and theirThe three luggages were also brought along. "

"What did you say?" After Mr. Wei instinctively yelled, he immediately lowered his voice, leaned forward, and then said to Liu Li, "You are crazy. Since you know these three things, You are so powerful, so why are you making trouble with Jin Hui? You really brought all the things and people here, and you want me to interrogate you. Aren't you going to put me on the fire to roast the master?"

"Master, you have wronged me. "Liu Li also quickly explained, "I originally wanted to push this matter down directly, but it turned out that not only Jin Xun was dissatisfied and clamored to come to the county government, but even the three people who were framed also clamored to come to the county government office. Come here, and your attitude is even tougher than that of Jin Hui. I can’t even try to persuade you.” Liu Li spoke sincerely, obviously he really tried to persuade them, “And they also said that you must give them a good trial and tell them right from wrong. The truth comes out. "

Hearing this, Mr. Wei's hand holding the tea cup almost shook with percussion, "Isn't that what Jin Xun said?"

At this moment, he quickly thought In the past few years of his tenure, he has received many benefits from Jin Yu and settled many wrongdoing lawsuits for the latter; although in his opinion, these operations of his are just the basic practices of corrupt officials and do not mean that he and Jin Yu have any personal relationship. There is no friendship at all. At most, it is a polite relationship with customers on the surface, but this does not mean that Jin Xun thinks that way. What if Jin Xun boasts in front of those three people that he and the county magistrate are as close as brothers, and then the other three people still believe it? Isn't this wave of fire coming to your door?

"Uh," Liu Li looked at his words and immediately understood what the master was worried about. He thought for a while and then said, "Anyway, after my subordinates arrive, that Jin Xun didn't say anything inappropriate, but my subordinates didn't know what he said before I arrived. "

"Hey," Mr. Wei heard this, slapped his thigh, and said to himself, "You are such a bone-attached maggot, you have to hold me to your death, I will support you, just wait for me. "Look, let's see how I can interrogate you today"

At the same moment, outside the hall.

Jin Xun, who knew nothing about what happened in the room, was standing with his hands on his hips, Looking at Sun, Huang and Hu with their nostrils raised, they sneered.

According to Jin Xun's idea, Capt. Liu went into the house to help him greet the master, so that when the master called them in later, The rest is his one-sided performance.

As for Shuangxi, who is standing on the other side, they are not worried; because they also know very well that with their current reputation in black and white. With connections, a small scene like tonight can be easily solved without even considering the use of force.

咿

After a while, there was a sound of a door turning, and everyone was stunned. Xun Sheng took a look and saw Mr. Liu coming out of the house.

"The master sent Mr. Jin, Mr. Sun, Mr. Huang and Mr. Hu to the back hall for questioning. "When Liu Captou said this, his face was expressionless and his tone was calm.

After he finished speaking, he walked out of the door and stepped aside to make a way.

Looking at his state, it was as if he was telling the other party, "Get ready to come in and get punished."

Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Hu Wenzhi didn't say anything. They all understood that the more arrogant Jin Xun was now, the funnier his embarrassing appearance would be later, so the three of them followed him inside calmly.

After they all entered the house, Capt. Liu called his master and a few more experienced agents to come in and take orders. The other agents stayed outside and continued to watch the group. Jin Xun's men.

The door closed again and looked inside the hall again.

There were five or six people outside, and when Jin Xun entered the back hall and saw the master, he knelt down and screamed, "Jin Xun, knock on the sky to see the master!"

As he pressed his I think, based on his friendship with the county magistrate, after this great gift, the magistrate should give him a seat.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Wei just sat there with a sullen face and coldly replied, "Jin Hui, I heard that you want to say goodbye"

"Yeah" Jin Hui As soon as I heard the tone of these words, I felt something was wrong. Why is Master treating me like this today? In the past, whether I came here to falsely accuse someone or someone filed a lawsuit with me, Master Wei would help me to some extent. , his attitude towards me is not this cold, why is he like this today?

But then he thought again, I understand, the master blamed me for waking him up in the middle of the night, and he was angry I'm angry when I wake up. Yes, yes, I almost forgot what time it is. Now I'm angry when I wake up in the middle of my sleep.

"Reply to the master." After Jin Xun thought he had figured it out, he organized his words and said, "It's not that the villain wants to sue anyone, but that the villain discovered the wanted criminal by the master, so I didn't dare to delay, so I brought the person to the master overnight."

His words were similar in nature to what he said when he first met Capt. Liu, which was to "define the matter first." ”, let alone the plaintiff and defendant, directly describe the other party as a criminal suspect and then continue the discussion.

"Wanted criminal" Mr. Wei repeated these words, and his eyes moved accordingly, "You mean these three people"

"Yes, they are Mr. The thief you want to catch is Cao Le," Jin Xun said, straightening up, turning his arms and pointing behind him.

At this time, he was surprised to find that Sun, Huang and Hu were still standing, and the government servants beside them did not press them down.

"Hey, sir, look, these three are simply lawless. When they see you, sir, they dare to stand up instead of kneeling." Jin Xun quickly said his discovery out loud, as if he was afraid of the master. Didn't notice the same.

"Yes, you are right." Mr. Wei also has a temper. Not to mention that the other party is a friend of Boss Ding. Even if Boss Ding himself comes, there are many people like him. On certain occasions, he would pretend to kneel down, and then the master would come up and help him to stop him, but the three people in front of him didn't even show any gestures, which was a bit too much.

So, WeiThe master immediately showed off his official authority and said to Shuanghe and Lao Hu, "I want to ask you, who are you and why do you not kneel when you see me?"

In this sentence, there are The two questions are both knocks and tests.

"Ha" at this time, it was Brother Sun, a famous person in the Jiangnan area, who answered, "I am Sun Yixie from Hangzhou, I wonder if you have heard of my name?"

When Mr. Wei heard this name, he was stunned for about five seconds, and then his expression changed a bit. < /p>

"Yes." Liu Captou replied softly, "The one named Huang said his name was Huang Donglai, and the other two only gave their surnames, but not their names."

This Next, Mr. Wei's cold sweat was oozing out.

Shanghai County is so close to Hangzhou Prefecture, how could he not have heard of Sun Yixie's name? He has even heard of his appearance, but he has never seen it before.

What’s more important is that he has also heard of Huang Donglai’s name

As we said before, Mr. Wei also worked as an official in the capital in the past, although he is now transferred to a local government. Yes, but he must have good friends in the capital. In those days, it was very common for friends in the officialdom to exchange letters, and the content of the letters included not only polite words of greetings to each other, but also a lot of idle remarks.

Two years ago, Mr. Wei had seen the same gossip in the letters of several colleagues in the capital. It basically said that there was a young hero named Huang Donglai in the Jianghu, who was doing it in Zhoukou A very surprising thing happened. This matter should be very clear to all readers, so I won’t repeat it again.

Now Mr. Wei heard the names of these two people at the same time, looked at their appearance, combined with a series of rumors he knew, and what he had just heard about their cards in Xinghui Tower. After thinking about it, everything is right.

"Hehehe" Two seconds later, Mr. Wei's official dignity disappeared in an instant. Then he smiled with a smile on his face, stood up and said, "It turns out to be nephew Sun Xian. It's not big." The water has flooded the Dragon King Temple. Come on, come on, you guys, give the three of you seats quickly.”

Now look at Jin Xun who is kneeling on the ground. He looks like a frozen fish. His eyes were wide open and his body was so stiff that he almost stopped thinking in fear.

Don’t talk about him either. The government officials who were standing there were stunned for several seconds when they saw the master’s attitude. Then they hurriedly moved the stools over under the urging of Capt. Liu’s eyes and gestures.

After Sun, Huang and Hu were seated, Mr. Wei took the initiative to step forward and said with a smile, "Good nephew, I am an old acquaintance with Mr. Lu from Hangzhou Mansion." , He praised you a lot in his letters to me."

This is half true and half false. Lu Wen is indeed an old acquaintance of Mr. Wei, and he did mention it in his letters. Sun Yixie, but it's not a boast. You can figure it out for yourself.

“Oh bigPeople are laughing at it, but it’s just a false reputation. Sun Yixie also opened his mouth and said, "Sir Wei, I have heard a lot from Mr. Lu about your reputation of being loyal to the emperor, patriotic, fair and honest." ”

Anyway, it was almost a lie, and Sun Yixie was not afraid of flashing his tongue. In fact, he even overheard the other party’s surname Wei from the conversations of the policemen on the road.

Of course, it doesn’t matter how he brags about his awesomeness, as long as it works

“How dare you, I can’t bear to say this. Ashamed, well deserved." Mr. Wei's response was also true. He did not deserve that eight-character evaluation.

However, this is not important

The important thing is, Everyone in this room can see at this moment that in this case, Mr. Wei was not targeting Jin Xun.

"Oh, by the way, let me introduce you to these two. It's my friend, this is Huang Donglai, the young master of Huangmen in Shuzhong, and this is Mr. Hu Wenzhi. "Then, Sun Yixie took the opportunity to report the names of the other two people to Mr. Wei.

Mr. Wei, who was already mentally prepared, quickly exchanged greetings with the two people and exchanged a few words.

During this whole process, Jin Xun, who was forced to kneel by them, was numb from all angles. What he was thinking about now was not how to falsely accuse others, but how to falsely accuse others. How did you get out of this situation?

"Oh, it turns out that these guys have just returned to the Central Plains from Japan. What are you talking about? Cao Le is definitely not you. This is framed by someone." After chatting for a few more words, Mr. Wei immediately grasped the key point and pointed the finger, "Jin Xun said, are you causing trouble?"

"The adults and the villain are unjust." Jin Xun He was not going to sit back and wait for death, so he had to struggle a bit. "The villain just saw that the three of them didn't look like locals, and they were wandering around at night, acting suspiciously, so I suspected them." He also made it up as he said it. Relying on his quick wit, he said, "Besides, what they say about East and West is just one side of their story. Who can prove that they really just arrived in Shanghai a few days ago?"

Don't say it, Jin Xun's skills are actually quite good. He knows that if he questions the alibi of these three people tonight, they will probably find witnesses immediately. But if he questions the fact that they just returned to the Central Plains from Japan a few days ago, , it’s hard to tell who to testify for now. As long as this matter is delayed until dawn, then his delaying strategy will be completed, and then he will have room to mediate.

But Sun Yixie. Hearing this, he just snorted coldly and said, "Uncle Jin, this is a good question." He deliberately said in a tone of voice, "Then if I say, the person who can prove this is the father-in-law of Dongchang, One is the general banner of Jinyiwei, and both of them are no longer in Shanghai County at the moment. I don’t know.” He looked at Mr. Wei again, “Mr. Wei, are you still interested in seeking confirmation?”

Then Mr. Wei heard These words were almost scolding, and he thought to himself, "I am a local official, but I am also a corrupt official.It's probably a false accusation of theft. At the same time, I'm going to ask people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei. Who's asking whom? I might as well go to the King of Hell and ask if I will die someday."

"This is a wise man. What are you saying, nephew? I can’t believe it.” Two seconds later, Mr. Wei immediately raised the tone and comforted Sun Yixie.

Then he turned and pointed at Jin Xun. He yelled, "You are a villain, a scoundrel, a bully, a bastard. Do you know what you are talking about? I have tolerated you for a long time."

As for this part of his story, to be honest , with some personal emotions. After all, Jin Xun does too many damaging things in daily life. If it weren't for the sake of money, even Mr. Wei wouldn't be able to tolerate this guy.

"Captain Liu".

"My subordinates are here. ”

“Slap his mouth for me”

“Yes”

Captain Liu received the order, picked up a board on the table in the back hall and asked for it.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone shouted "Wait a minute". Please remember to bookmark the latest and fastest website for free reading without anti-theft
