Chapter 424: A big case within a case
In front of the public hall of the Leizhou Mansion, there were already people in the city, all paying attention to the majestic and solemn public hall.
Is Tang Buyuan fake?
As soon as these words came out, everyone was completely stunned. The dignified Ming Dynasty from Liupinzhi County turned out to be a fake, which makes people dare to believe it, it is simply incredible.
"How is this possible? Shen Liu is kidding, right? ”
"That's right! This is what Yuchi County looked like at the beginning of his tenure! ”
"Tang Zhixian is a rare good official, how can this be fake?"
……
The people in the hall looked at each other, and then chose to shake their heads, not accepting Shen Qing's inference, and still cast a vote of confidence for Tang Buyuan. In addition, it was indeed ridiculous, and they couldn't accept it for a while.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, I have never heard of such an absurd thing, and the court officials can still have fakes.
Although Lin Haoran felt that things were incredible, he did not blindly deny this inference, but looked at Tang Buyuan solemnly.
This seems to be the most absurd conclusion, but it explains a lot of doubts. If Tang Buyuan is not the real Ming Cong Liupin Zhi County, then it can be explained, why would he ignore his own future and choose to commit this kind of criminal behavior.
Special Sherlock Holmes once said: After eliminating all impossibilities, no matter what is left in the end, even if it is no longer possible, it must be the truth.
"You...... Don't talk nonsense! Tang Buyuan's face was shocked, and he pointed at Shen Qing and scolded angrily. But I don't know if it was because of fear or anger, the finger trembled slightly.
Shen Qing no longer paid attention to Tang Buyuan, but said to Lin Haoran: "Lord Fuzun, the little woman has already tried out the authenticity of Tang Buyuan for the adult, and then you will know the truth when you interrogate Master Han." ”
It turned out that this was all a ploy of the prefect.
When many ordinary people heard that this was a plan set by the prefect, their hearts were a little shaken, and they no longer trusted Tang Buyuan so much.
Lin Haoran's performance so far is obvious to all, first he turned his face with Jia Bao in order to rectify the fish market, and now he has repeatedly failed to solve the unjust case, and he has sent the first tyrant of Leizhou City to prison.
Everything is justified now, Tang Buyuan may really be fake, which is also the reason why Lord Fuzun put Tang Zhixian in prison in the first place.
Lin Haoran met Shen Qing's gaze and found that this delicate-looking girl still saved her some face.
In fact, he didn't know about today's various changes in advance, and he didn't even know that the letter was perjury, and he was also "tricked" by Shen Qing. However, Shen Qing's statement can be regarded as pushing all the credit back to him.
Putting aside personal likes and dislikes, I have to admit that this woman is indeed very powerful. first used a perjury to ask for directions, and then when Tang Buyuan revealed her flaws, she naturally took off Tang Buyuan's mask.
Of course, everything must be based on the fact that Tang Buyuan is an impostor, otherwise he will have to bear a certain amount of political responsibility.
Lin Haoran chose to believe in Shen Qing, who was well-founded, and at the same time adopted her suggestion, and used his strength to pry open Tang Buyuan's mouth, it was better to start with the little people around him first, snap the wood, and said in a deep voice: "Master Han!" ”
The county government and the government are only separated by a fuxue palace, and after a while, two officials went to the county government to find Master Han.
Master Han is about fifty years old, wearing a pale cyan costume, a thin little old man, but he looks good, and his face is kind and kind, and he doesn't look like a bad person.
At this time, he was summoned to the court, but he was trembling and looking extremely frightened, and he was about to salute Lin Haoran.
"Come on, call this official!"
Lin Haoran was unusual, he didn't ask anything, and he ordered as soon as he was shocked.
Yes?
Master Han was already very scared, but when he suddenly heard this, he was also stunned. Many of the luck in his heart seemed to have disappeared at this moment.
Although the yacha on both sides did not understand why the mansion suddenly had such a big smell of gunpowder, it was difficult to disobey the official order, and several yacha immediately came out of the ranks. pulled off the thin Master Han's pants and began to hit the board as soon as he pressed it.
"Lord Fuzun, why is this? How is that! Master Han was beaten inexplicably, and asked in great panic.
Lin Haoran was shocked and asked in a deep voice: "You are so bold! It's just a matter of murdering Tang Zhixian, and you dare to come to Leizhou City with his clerical officer to harm the people, are you the main culprit or an accomplice? ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent.
Everyone realized that Lin Haoran's clever methods were all holding their eyes to attract, and their eyes fell on Master Han who was beaten.
Even Mrs. Jiang, who was hiding behind the screen and eavesdropping on the interrogation, pricked up her ears at this time, wanting to hear Master Han's answer. I have to admit in my heart that this little man really has to be impressive, and he is definitely not the nerd in his initial impression.
"Oops...... Don't fight, I'll do it! I'm recruiting! Master Han thought that the matter was completely exposed, so he snorted bitterly and said, "I am an accomplice!" My lord knows that I am just an accomplice, and I was coerced by them! ”
"Oh my God! Yuchi County is really fake! ”
"That's too bold, isn't it? Actually pretending to be an official of the imperial court? ”
"Pretending is still second, they actually slaughtered the real Tang Zhi County!"
……
There was a sudden uproar in the extremely quiet hall, although there had been speculation, but now it has been confirmed, it is still unbelievable. For a moment, the noise was like that of a vegetable market.
Their magistrate turned out to be a fake, what a strange news in the world, this matter will inevitably spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.
And so it was!
After Lin Haoran heard Master Han's answer, he was also shocked in his heart. Among the two major cases, the Chen family's murder case and the Li County Cheng Jiao corpse case, there is actually a murder case in Tang Zhixian and an unbelievable fake Zhixian case.
This confusing Leizhou City seems to be gradually becoming clear, and after the bully Jia Bao, there is a very deep fake magistrate.
After Master Han confessed, Tang Buyuan was taken back to the court.
Tang Buyuan found that everyone's gaze at him was obviously different, which made him feel puzzled for a while.
Originally, he still wanted to resist death and deny it, and wanted to keep the talisman of Zhixian, so that Lin Haoran would be afraid. But after learning that Master Han confessed, he was like a defeated chicken.
In fact, from the moment Shen Qing pointed out that he was not Tang Buyuan, he knew that everything was over, and all the struggles were in vain. Once his identity is verified, where can he hide, there are too many flaws in his body.
"Do you want this government to punish you, or do you want to invite you honestly!" Lin Haoran patted the shocked wood, and looked at Tang Buyuan Dao under the hall indifferently.
Thump!
Tang Buyuan couldn't hold on any longer, knelt on the ground, tears welled up in his eyes, and began to confess his crimes.
His original name was Liu San, and he followed the other five people to occupy Jiming Mountain as thieves, and gradually became a powerful force. Because it is located at the junction of the two provinces, it did not attract large-scale encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers.
They were known for their ruthlessness, and they mainly looted merchants who traveled between Guangxi and Guizhou, and the merchants they looted never left a living mouth.
It's just that in the dark, God seems to have guided them here.
During a ransack of a caravan transporting illicit salt, their fourth child was killed in a fight, making them secretly remember this hatred of the Chen family, a salt merchant in Leizhou City.
Not long after, they ransacked a common caravan. It's just that when they checked their identity, they found that one of them turned out to be an official of the Ming Dynasty, and the place where he served was Leizhou City.
This is definitely not a low crime for killing an official of the imperial court, and it will even provoke the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers.
After some deliberation among the five brothers, they didn't do anything, and found Liu San, who was most suitable for Tang Buyuan's appearance, to pretend to be Tang Buyuan, and went to Leizhou City to take up their posts together.
It's not that they don't know the huge risks involved in doing so, if Tang Buyuan's relatives and friends find out their identities, their gang will die and have no place to bury.
It's just that after their analysis, Leizhou Mansion is different from the inland capital, Leizhou Mansion is located in the southernmost part of the Ming Dynasty, and very few officials will happen to "pass by", which greatly reduces the possibility of them being recognized.
At the beginning of their appointment, they were indeed frightened for a long time, and even Liu San suffered from insomnia for a time.
In particular, a master surnamed Song took the initiative to come to the door, which almost frightened them. However, their actions have always been decisive and ruthless, and they turned that Master Song into an unidentified charred corpse.
Gradually, they found that Li Daitaozhuang's plan was very successful, and no one could see through their true identities at all, and they also controlled the Haikang County Ya.
It's just that they know that this kind of thing can't be hidden forever, and sooner or later the matter will be revealed.
It is precisely in this way that they locked on the Chen family, the richest merchant in Leizhou City, with a sense of revenge and greedy desire, and thus formulated a cruel plan to ransack the Chen family.
The plan went well, they successfully bloodied the Chen family, avenged their fourth child, and ransacked the Chen family's treasury, successfully obtaining a fortune far beyond their imagination.
But there was still a little deviation in the matter, and a friend of Li Xiancheng seemed to mention something about Tang Buyuan in the letter, which made Li Xiancheng doubt Liu San's identity.
Coincidentally, the murder case of the Chen family was also overheard by Li Xiancheng.
Fortunately, they also found Li Xiancheng who was eavesdropping on the spot, so they chose to kill Li Xiancheng and burn his body in Xihu Mountain.
After the bloodbath of the Chen family, they originally planned to flee to the sea with their belongings, but they suddenly faced a huge pressure.
First, Jia Bao has noticed their existence and wants to get a piece of the pie; Second, the new prefect suddenly arrived, and they could be exposed to the transfer of silver.
For the sake of safety, they did not choose to flee rashly, but lurked again, wanting to eliminate these two hidden dangers before leaving Leizhou City.
After some discussion, on the one hand, they hoped that the new prefect could help them get rid of Jia Bao, and on the other hand, they wanted to get rid of Lin Haoran.
After confirming this goal, they took the initiative to spread unfavorable remarks against Jia Bao, pushed Li Xiancheng's death on Jia Bao, and set fire to the post stable where the new prefect was staying, and then put the bloody horsewhip on the table in his room, provoking the young and vigorous new prefect to deal with Jia Bao.
Sure enough, the newly appointed young prefect pointed the finger at Jia Bao, and the two clashed at the fish market.
In the following development, the young prefect really focused on dealing with Jia Bao, and took advantage of Ruan Yao'er's case to make trouble, thus helping them contain Jia Bao.
When Lin Haoran took Jia Bao into prison, their first goal was achieved.
At this time, their previous ingenious layout could finally be launched, wanting the fake woodcutter to get rid of Lin Haoran.
What they never expected was that Lin Haoran had already been alert and let the woodcutter's operation fail. This exquisite layout not only failed to get rid of Lin Haoran, but put Liu San at risk of being exposed.
The subsequent development made them fall into greater passivity.
First, the mute Shen Qing made his identity clear, so that the spearhead of the new prefect was directly pointed at Liu San, and Liu San was imprisoned resolutely.
However, they knew that the most effective way to solve the current predicament was to try to get rid of Lin Haoran.
It was in this way that they accepted Jia Wu's "employment". Following Jia Wu to attack the government, they wanted to take the opportunity to kill Lin Haoran, so that Liu San could return to power as Haikangzhi County.
But this time, they failed again, almost completely annihilated.
Before Liu San could find a chance to find life, he was torn off his mask by Shen Qing again, making his identity as a fake county public, and he was destined to never return.
"Grass people Liu San, please spare your life!" Liu San lost the disguise of the magistrate, and now he is no different from a civilian, and the tears of remorse are falling like rainlines.
Lin Haoran listened to this kind of conspiracy, and layers of cold sweat broke out on his back.
If it weren't for the fact that he was handsome and narrowly avoided the killing moves of Liu San's gang of robbers, I'm afraid he would have become a dead corpse. And this group of people also took those belongings and ran overseas to live happily.
"Oh my God! They also did the Chen's murder case! ”
"These people are really bold, and they have repeatedly committed serious crimes!"
"We still think he's a good official, this person really deserves death!"
……
The people who learned the truth were also shocked, they didn't expect things to be so tortuous, and they didn't expect that their county magistrate's face would be so unbearable, and he turned out to be a bandit leader.
"You have made such a big mistake! In order to steal and kill people, the puppet officials even washed the Chen family with 30 blood, you let this government spare you like this! Lin Haoran was shocked, and then noticed Shen Qing's surface, and added: "Master Song/Li Xiancheng/Shen Liu, each of these is a major case of human life, and it is not a pity to cut off your head a hundred times!" ”
For this kind of ferociousness, Lin Haoran naturally will not sympathize, let alone sympathize. He interrogated other accomplices one after another, asked them to sign and draw them one by one, and planned to report this big case to the criminal department.
It is worth mentioning that the stolen silver that he was most concerned about before was also found. The stolen silver was stored in a dark room in the county government's back house, but the amount seemed to be a little different, and only 100,000 taels of silver were piled up inside.
Of course, this 100,000 taels of silver is actually not a small amount, and it has been able to allow Lin Haoran to do a lot of things, including his hundred-year plan to revitalize Leizhou City.
