Chapter Seventy-Seven: Like a Wolf Like a Tiger

Yang Pu and the others walked out of the prison room to the side hall, and saw Lin Jian standing in the middle of the road with a sinking face, and followed his gaze to look over, Zhou Pu's back was at the corner of the middle hall, and disappeared behind the corner in a blink of an eye.

Yang Pu remembered that when he came to the inspection department just now, Lin Lian asked Zhou Pu and others to send Liu Yue'er back to Dustpan Lane, but he didn't expect Zhou Pu to turn back so quickly, and he didn't know why Zhou Pu came and left in a hurry.

"Soon, what did the interrogation come about?" Lin Jian eased the expression on his face, and asked Yang Pu in a calm tone, he glanced at Gu Siyuan behind Yang Pu, Gu Siyuan's face was pale, and he didn't say a word.

"Don't wait for the torture, they all spoke, this is a pen confession, and they are about to come to you and Master Gu to ......" Yang Puyang raised a stack of papers in his hand.

"After all, there are few people who are not afraid of death." Lin Jian smiled, even if he was worried about Xiaoman, at this time, he could only go to the side hall with Yang Pu and the others to see Gu Wuchen first, and wait for the matter here to be dealt with before he could get out.

These ruffians in the market have discounted his arms and broken legs on the street, and if he can be punished in the inspection department, he can be regarded as a man, but unfortunately no one insists on confessing after being tortured, no wonder Gu Siyuan's face is very bad, he grew up in a greenhouse since he was a child, and he is surrounded by the crowd all day long, where have he seen a dangerous and bloody scene?

Gu Wuchen sat quietly in front of the side hall to deal with other official business, and when he saw Lin Lian, Yang Pu and others walking in, he put the file aside and asked, "What did you ask?" ”

"There are four people whose identities are suspicious, one is the nephew of Dongcheng Wei Chen Zhi, one is the son of Cao Ling Shi Zhoutai of Jiangning Mansion, one is the son of Zhao Qinmin, Yin Private Curtain of Jiangning Mansion, one is the son of Zhao Qigui of Guangtai Pawnshop Caidong, and the others are all gangsters," Yang Pu said, "They still want to confess to the others, and their subordinates think that it is better to go back and forth to the adults first and then deal with them......"

Of course, Yang Pu knew in his heart that he was not qualified for a showdown with Yin Wang Xueshan of Jiangning Mansion at the moment, even if these people confessed Wang Chao, the son of Wang Xueshan, it would be redundant.

Gu Wuchen took the pen and took a cursory look at it, his eyes stared at his only son who did not grow up, and said in a cold voice: "Beast, what else do you have to say?" ”

Gu Siyuan's face was pale, his face was slapped and there was a faint pain, he stood aside with his head down, where did he dare to talk back?

"The others will wait for thirty flogs, release them in the court, and spare their lives," Gu Wuchen handed the pen back to Yang Pu and said, "These four people don't need to ask anymore, they are all sent to the city prison, and their families will go to the city prison tomorrow to receive the ......."

Lin Jian sighed softly in his heart, Gu Wuchen has also been imprisoned and exiled for ten years, and he has a lot of experience in officialdom, if he thinks that his heart is as gentle and elegant as he looks, it would be a big mistake: after being released in the hall for thirty years, there is naturally a way to live, but there is a way to make people die of violent illness in the city prison, and here four living people are sent in, and tomorrow the families of these four people can only complain about the four corpses brought back from the city prison.

Yang Pu and Ma Chao took the order, and Gu Siyuan and Lin Jian were left in the hall standing in front of Gu Wuchen's case, Gu Wuchen let out a long sigh and said slowly: "Eventful autumn, eventful place, hidden blood under the light wind and moon, the situation is more severe than imagined." ”

In this eventful autumn, the twilight of the dynasty, the center's control over the local area is weakening day by day, it may be easy for the Chu Party to become the center, but if the Chu Party wants to control the place, it is very easy to cause the crazy counterattack of local forces. Gu Siyuan's son, how can he see the danger? Maybe let him go through more bloody things to understand these things.

What kind of big move did the Chu Party make when it became the center, whether it was to reorganize the northern front defense area, or to control the civil unrest in the northwest, it could not but rely on the wealth of the southeast, and for this reason, it even allowed the luxury family to split the land and seal the marquis. Gu Wuchen's appointment as the deputy envoy to Jiangdong was a key move in the southeast when the Chu Party became the center, Gu Siyuan couldn't see it when he was young and shallow, he just came to Jiangning to enjoy this glory and wealth, Gu Wuchen also intended to let his son paralyze the vigilance of the people in Jiangning, in order to show a group of harmony, but it didn't mean that the local forces in Jiangning really couldn't see it.

If Gu Wuchen can't bow his head and compromise with the local forces, I'm afraid that the future struggle will be more fierce and bloody.

"The Gu family's new tea will be on the market in a few days, and Jiyun Club wants people to go to Shiliang County, I will let Gu Tianqiao go back to Hutang, and I can recruit some Dongyang disciples to come over, and first charge into the prison guards and be trained by Yang Shi, and there should be some results after March." Lin Jian said.

"Well, that's it," Gu Wuchen nodded, no one at hand who could be completely trusted, and now the contradiction can't be considered intense, he said, "I heard Ma Chao say that the four guards you brought into the city this time were selected from ordinary soldiers, but today you can beat this group of ruffians in the market to the streets, you really know how to train soldiers......"

"Only courageous, courageless, cowardly like a mouse, courageous, like a wolf like a tiger," Lin Jian said, "It is very easy to deal with the rabble, for fear that others will also recruit the murderers who have experienced blood; But the four or five people around me are barely usable. ”

"Okay, you hand over the person to Yang Pu, this beast is no longer sensible, he can't let others use him to blackmail the Gu family in the future......" Gu Wuchen said, he finally couldn't rest assured about the servants sent to the Gu Mansion by the Inspectorate Division, but the Gu family has been in decline for ten years, and there is no one to use, to be honest, he also has resistance to the Tang family in his heart, and he doesn't want to ask the Tang family for help.

Although Lin Jian originally wanted to train the guards personally to serve as the backbone of the martial arts, at this time, Gu Wuchen asked for people, and he couldn't help but give them, at most, in the future, he would spend more energy with Zhou Pu and train more people who could be used.

Gu Siyuan stood aside, his face was blue and red for a while, and he didn't dare to interject after all.

Lin Jian also knew that Gu Siyuan was uncomfortable, but he couldn't help him say anything, but just seriously responded to Gu Wuchen's orders: "The four people I brought this time are waiting in the courtyard outside, and I will let Yang Pu lead them to the house to recognize the door later, in order to prevent accidents, I will find a way to move their families to Hekou Zhuangzi." ”

Now that the management of military households is becoming more and more chaotic, and there are countless bankruptcies and flights, the four guards he brought into the city this time are all from Jiangning military households, and he can be more assured to move his family to live in the estuary.

"By the way, which Baiyuan woman did you fall in love with Wang Xueshan's son at the same time?" Gu Wuchen finally stopped calling his son a "beast".

"It's a maid of Su Mei, she has been a prostitute since she was a child, she hasn't grown up yet, she has experienced some things together in Baisha County, it's an old acquaintance," Lin Jian said calmly, and said lightly, "I used to say that I wanted to help that girl redeem herself, but I didn't expect Wang Xueshan's son to also take a fancy to it, it's just an inconsequential character......

"Oh......" Gu Wuchen naturally knew what Lin Lian had experienced in Baisha County, so he didn't ask much, watched the twilight deepen, and said, "You go back with me to drink the bar, it's all angry and confused for this beast......"

"Okay." Lin Jian agreed, not at all anxious about Xiaoman's affairs.

************

Mrs. Gu, Gu Junxun and the others had already gone back to the house, so as not to let the people in the market see the truth and provoke the truth.

Surrounded by Yang Pu, Ma Chao and all the guards, Lin Lian, Gu Wuchen, and Gu Siyuan drove out of the gate of the envoy in a carriage. At this time, the thirteen ruffians were thrown out of the gate after receiving thirty lashes inside, and their families were already waiting outside the door, and they were busy coming to recognize people. These ruffians in the market were discounted on the streets, and the captain of Dongcheng failed to intercept the people, and their families knew that they would not have good fruits to eat when they entered the Imperial Mission, and even invited Lang Zhong from the medical hall to wait in front of the gate of the Imperial Envoy Division. The execution officer loudly proclaimed in front of the gate: "The ruffians on the ground, the wickedness on the streets, the arrest in the court, and the punishment of thirty flogging, I hope that the neighbors of the market will take this as a warning, and each family will bring back the living mouth, and from then on life and death have nothing to do with the inspection and envoy department......

The front of the yamen has never been a place to reason, at this time, naturally no one dared to come forward to reason with the inspector and the envoy, only hoping that timely treatment can save a small life, a group of people surrounded and recognized people, all flesh and blood are blurred, it is really not easy to recognize clearly, the key is to arrest seventeen people, at this time release thirteen people, and four people did not come out.

After being busy for a while, the family members who didn't get the people realized that they were in big trouble, although the flesh and blood of these people who were released were blurred, and their hands and feet were broken, they were finally saving a small life, and they didn't give the lives of the four people who were released for fear that it would be difficult to protect, seeing that Gu Wuchen's car had not gone far, they all rushed over and begged their subordinates for mercy. Gu Wuchen naturally wouldn't come forward, and Yang Pu ordered the guards to beat these people who were blocking the car away. The rules of this world are like this, even if you are blocking the car and shouting grievances, you can beat the mighty stick first and then ask about it, for these people who dare to violate their family, Gu Wuchen's heart is as hard as a stone, where will he pay attention to them?

Lin Jian lifted the curtain and looked at these people who were blocking the frame outside, the main owner did not dare to come forward, they were all domestic servants or women who came to lead people, and even the soldiers and horses of the Dongcheng Lieutenant did not dare to stay in the Yamen of the Inspectorate. The crime of taking the lead in attacking the Yamen of the Inspectorate is really not something that ordinary people can bear, but I don't know if Wang Xueshan will stand up for him.

The family members who did not release the four people on the spot had some doorways in the Jiangning Mansion, and when they saw that the opportunity was wrong, they fled, seeing that it was useless to beg with Gu Wuchen, and also knew that no matter how bold Gu Wuchen was, it was impossible for him to order someone to kill people in the Yamen of the Inspectorate Division, so he turned back and found someone to inquire with the officials and officials in the Inspectorate Division, only to know that the four of them had already been sent to the city prison from the corner gate, and they would only be allowed to receive people tomorrow. These people have heard of what kind of place the prison in the city is, and besides, these four people have Gu Wuchen's special care, and everyone knows what the result will be if they have to delay it until tomorrow to get people. Some of these family members were panicked, sitting on the ground and crying, and some of them were sober, knowing that they should hurry back and tell the master to take the idea of getting people. Some people ran to the city prison first, only to find that there were many more guards than in the city, and one of Gu Wuchen's cronies personally sat in the city prison tonight, and it was impossible to deliver the news to it, and many ways could not go, so they could only gather at Wang Xueshan's house for help, and at this time, there were not many people in Jiangning City who could still fish people from the city prison.
