Bai Jiu's confession had the meaning of confirming the arson charges of Huang Qi and the others, and the other two helpers naturally didn't dare to hide it anymore, and immediately hurriedly recruited similar words, the same news that Xu Fei asked them to pass on, so that several people quickly escaped from Tokyo.

After the three helpers finished speaking, they kowtowed again and begged for mercy, and the three Huang Qi beside them were even more frightened, and they almost collapsed to the ground. Sun Tu took the opportunity to stare at the three of them again: "What else do you have to say now?" If you weren't a thief, why would you want to leave with your family? Also, I have found a witness, someone saw you haunting the Maojia Lane area last night, do you dare to say that you are wronged? In the end, it was already fierce and imposing.

Under his coaxing and intimidation, the psychological defense line of several people completely collapsed, and Yan Huan had already taken the lead in beckoning: "General judgment, small move...... We did go to Maojia Lane in Changxingfang last night, and we also went to Zhang Laosi's house......"

Xue Yuanpeng's face became more and more gloomy when he heard this: "So this fire was also set by you?" Do you know how many casualties this fire caused? ”

"The verdict is wronged, this fire is not actually set by us!" You Laoba also spoke: "Although the little ones are not angry, they don't dare to do such a crazy thing, we just ...... It's just ......," he said, but he was a little distracted.

"Why, do you still want to deny it at this time? If this fire had not been set by you, who else would have it? If you did not set this fire, why should you flee in fear of sin? Sun Tu stepped forward and asked in a loud voice.

In the face of his aggressive and powerful pressure, several people no longer dared to hold back, and almost simultaneously shouted: "It's Mr. Tian...... Mr. Tian asked us to go to Zhang Laosi's family for trouble, and said that he would give us a thousand benefits......"

"Huh? Who is this Mr. Tian, you have all made it clear to the official. As soon as he heard that there was another inside story about this matter, Xue Yuanpeng's expression suddenly became solemn, and he immediately asked.

"Mr. Tian is the big shopkeeper next to Boss Fang, and the small ones will only go to Zhang Laosi's house to collect accounts because of his benefits before......" At this time, the three of them had no way to hide, and they truthfully explained everything they knew as if they were pouring beans into the bamboo tube.

The boss Fang in their mouth is Fang Boguang, the brother of Fang Zhisi, who is rich in money by collecting and releasing Yinzi money, and has also opened several shops in the city. Huang Qi, Lu Fang and others had helped him collect his accounts many times under the instruction of Fang Zhusi before, and they had gained a lot of benefits because of this.

But what they didn't expect was that two days ago, the three of them were not in the yamen because they listened to Lu Fang's arrangement in order to give Sun Tu a dismount, which caused them to lose even this errand, which naturally made them feel unacceptable. The three of them didn't dare to trouble Lu Fang or Fang Boyan, so in the end, they could only go to Fang Boguang to ask for some benefits.

And this time, it was replaced by Mr. Fang, the shopkeeper next to Fang Boguang, who was also easy to talk at the beginning, admitting that he did have some responsibility for this matter. But when the three lions opened their mouths and asked Fang Boguang to take 600 yuan as compensation, he categorically rejected this request: "I can give you 120 yuan as compensation, but if you don't do more." ”

"Mr. Fang, our brother ended up like this because of Boss Fang, and it is a matter of course for you to give money to compensate. If you don't give it to us, although we are no longer in the Yamen, there is always a way to make you feel bad! Huang Qi, who was already holding his breath in his heart, immediately threatened in an unkind tone.

Mr. Tian was also stunned, but then he laughed: "It's not that you don't know that our owner's brother is the government secretary, and I forgive you for not daring to do anything." ”

"That's hard to say, we now call the unofficial light, but the light is not afraid to wear shoes."

Speaking of which, Mr. Tian was really a little difficult to handle, so he fell silent. After thinking for a long time, he spoke: "It's not impossible for you to really want money, but you need to help us do something." ”

"What he asked you to do is to go to Zhang Laosi's house and set fire?" Sun Tu suddenly interrupted them and asked.

"It's not that we set fires, it's that we sneak into his house at night and teach them a lesson, so that they can force them to hand over their daughter to pay their debts. And Mr. Na Tian also said, as long as things can be done to give us a thousand yuan......" After a pause, Huang Qi said again: "So that night we went to Zhang Laosi's house as he said, and also taught him some lessons, forcing him to agree to hand over his daughter to Boss Fang early the next morning." Surprisingly, not long after we left, a fire suddenly broke out in Maojia Alley, and then the fire increased, burning the entire Changxingfang, and we didn't dare to make more trouble, so we left quickly.

"Originally, we were going to go to Mr. Tian early this morning to ask for the money, but this happened. No matter how bold and reckless the little one is, he won't dare to set fire to this Bianjing City......" In the end, Huang Qi kowtowed again, and the other two also shouted loudly at the same time that they had not set fire to it, and followed by kowtowing.

"So according to your meaning, this fire was set by Mr. Nada?" Xue Tong frowned slightly and asked, why did things go so far again?

The three of them only hesitated slightly, and then nodded one after another: "That's right, the little one dares to confront him!" ”

"Sun Dutou, this matter will be handed over to you, and the relevant people will be brought in for questioning immediately." Xue Yuanpeng immediately gave the order.

Sun Tu clenched his fists to receive the order, and just as he turned around and wanted to go out, two more people came to the front of the hall, but it was He Wu, another head in the yamen, and beside him stood a handsome and wise middle-aged man. He Wu stepped forward and reported: "Xue Tong's verdict, a businessman Tian Ning came to report the case today, saying that he knew the identity of the suspect in the fire last night. ”

"Oh? Come in and talk. Xue Yuanpeng's spirit suddenly lifted, and he hurriedly spoke.

The two then entered the hall, and when Tian Ning stood still, Huang Qi and the others, who were kneeling on the ground, had a sudden change in expression, and almost bounced up from the ground: "Mr. Tian, why are you ......?"

Na Tian Ning also sighed with surprise on his face, and then pointed at the three of them and shouted: "Xue Tongju, the suspects that the grass people want to sue are the three of them." Yesterday they went to the small shop to make a nuisance, and then threatened that if my boss refused to pay them money, they would give us a good look, and they also mentioned that they would take Zhang Laosi's family to make us know their methods. As a result, there was a fire in Changxingfang last night, and the grass people felt that the three of them were suspicious, so they rushed to complain. ”

"You are spewing blood, it is clear that you asked us to find trouble with the fourth chapter of the chapter, and now you actually put all the crimes on us......" Yan Huan immediately retorted.

Tian Ning immediately replied: "How is this possible? My host has always done his duty, how could he do such a thing? And although the fourth chapter owes us an account, we don't dare to do such a thing. Through the judgment and clear understanding, how can there be a creditor in this world who does not want to ask for money, but burns the borrower's family to death? ”

Xue Yuanpeng also thought it was true when he heard it, it was indeed the most important thing for the creditor to recover the arrears, and the life of the debtor was not what they wanted at all, let alone doing such a thing.

So he immediately slammed the table again: "Okay, you three bastards, not only committed such a serious crime, but also dared to deceive the official and pass the buck to others, can you really be an official?" It seems that there is no need to serve with a big punishment, come and wait! ”

With his command, several servants immediately stepped forward, first pressed Yan Huan to the ground, and put his feet into a simple torture instrument made of ropes and wooden sticks.

Seeing this scene, Sun Tu's expression changed several times, and the matter became more and more confusing. It turned out that he really believed that Huang Qi and the others were the arsonists, but now it seems that there is something else. It's not that their statements are credible, but this Tian Ning came too timely, just after the three of them were taken to the mansion, as if they came to deal with the confessions of the three of them.

Another point is also quite critical, if you think about it carefully, Huang Qi really has no reason to set this fire, even if he is angry with Zhang Laosi's family, he will not do such a thing. It's just that Sun Tu doesn't have the slightest evidence in his hands to exonerate them, and all kinds of charges against them have been confirmed before, which makes him a little clueless.
