Chapter 542 Interrogation 2

Xiao Erlang was still dressed in white, with disheveled hair. After a night of fear, his face was particularly haggard, so he looked almost like a ghost.

Magistrate Tang looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "No wonder some people think you are a ghost."

He slapped the gavel, shouted and asked: "Who is under the hall, and what crime has been committed, let me tell you the truth!"

Xiao Erlang cried and said: "My lord, the younger one is Xiao Jia Erlang from Kangxue Street. I, I, I shouldn't fall ill and pretend to be a ghost. Please forgive me."

The county magistrate of Tang had already heard the report from the yamen guard who watched the night last night, and said with a sneer, "Are you sure you are insane?"

"Yes, yes, the little one has such a problem since he was a child, and he didn't intend to scare people on purpose."

"The official asked you, who opened the vegetable field in Yan's house?"

"The little one doesn't know. The little one likes to cry when he's sick, and he likes to walk around and burn paper money. I don't know anything else."

County magistrate Tang sneered, glanced at the yamen guards who said they had been detained separately, patted the gavel and said: "Since you said so, it's fine, let's say what you said is true, come, come and arrest him." My mouth was blocked by me, I dragged it down to the hall to suppress it, and escorted Xiao Jia Dalang up."

The yamen servant should come down and go to mention Xiao Dalang.

Xiao Dalang had just entered the hall, and the county magistrate Tang slapped the gavel down with a slap, and shouted angrily, "Pull him down and beat him first!"

"yes!"

Xiao Dalang was dragged into the yard by the yamen servants before he recovered his senses. As soon as he lifted his clothes, he immediately started to fight.

Man Bao was startled, and covered his eyes with his hand, Zhou Zhou Lang was afraid that she would be startled, so he quickly hugged her into his arms.

It wasn't the first time for Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang to watch someone playing the board, but they were still not used to watching, so they also turned slightly sideways.

Magistrate Tang saw them only now, took advantage of the gap between the boards, pointed at them and asked, "Who are they?"

Sensing the unhappiness of the county magistrate, the yamen servant hurriedly bent over and said, "It's a witness, they caught the ghost last night."

"It turned out to be them," County Magistrate Tang's face brightened, and he couldn't help being a little curious. The ghosts in Kangxue Street have been haunting for two years. They all returned in vain.

In addition, it was just talking about being haunted, and nothing happened. He didn't even hear crying or anything like that, so after the investigation, he only thought it was the person there who was suspicious.

These five people are very good at catching ghosts, especially two teenagers and a girl standing in the front.

So County Magistrate Tang waved his hand and said, "Go and bring them up, I will ask them a few questions."

The five people quickly walked to the hall, and the three of Man Bao stood at the front and bowed to the magistrate Tang.

Xiao Dalang was beaten to the point of screaming in the yard, but Magistrate Tang turned a deaf ear and asked Bai Shanbao and the others curiously, "Is that the ghost you caught?"

Bai Shanbao saluted and replied: "Yes."

"How did you think of hunting ghosts, and how did you catch them?"

Bai Shanbao glanced at the two little friends, and replied: "My lord, we heard the cry of the female ghost when we were at home, she said that she died unjustly, so we wanted to ask her why she was wronged." .So last night we hid in the woodpile, and as soon as he appeared, we went up to see him, and he himself was startled and screamed."

Magistrate Tang looked at them suspiciously. A person who pretends to be a ghost all year round should be very alert. How could he be startled by three people who suddenly appeared?

He looked at the three of them back and forth, and asked, "What clothes were you wearing at that time?"

Bai Shanbao said with a straight face, "It's just ordinary clothes."

Man Bao and Bai Erlang nodded repeatedly as if testifying.

In just two or three sentences, Xiao Dalang finished typing and was dragged in by the yamen servant.

Yamen's boards were not so delicious, although they only had top ten boards, they were not played lightly. Xiao Dalang lay on the ground with a pale face, completely dazed.

Magistrate Tang waved Bai Shanbao and the others to step aside, and slapped the gavel again, "Xiao Dalang, do you plead guilty?"

Xiao Dalang's eyes widened, and he hurriedly shouted: "My lord, my little one, what crime do you want to plead guilty to? Although I know about my second brother's madness, I really never thought that he would go to Yan's house..."

County Magistrate Tang sneered and said, "Xiao Erlang has recruited everything. He said that the reason why he went to Yan's family to open a vegetable field was because of your instigation. You deliberately ordered him to work while he was insane. Otherwise, who would To find guilt for yourself?"

County Magistrate Tang said: "The vegetable field in Yan's family is open for a long time. Xiao Erlang is very tired, but you have made a lot of money, right? Xiao Erlang is a lunatic, and he didn't do these things on his own. The crime is not serious. , the biggest one is you, the person behind the scenes."

When Xiao Dalang heard that the second child had pushed everything on him, he couldn't help being anxious. He wanted to turn his head to look at Xiao Erlang in the yard, but the county magistrate Tang slapped Jingtang hard when he turned his head. Mu, drink and asked: "Xiao Dalang, don't you hurry up and bring the truth, do you want me to torture you again?"

"No, my lord, the little one is wronged. I, I am not the mastermind." When Xiao Dalang heard that he was going to be tortured, he was startled immediately, and quickly said, "My second brother is not crazy at all. He led this matter." , has nothing to do with me."

Xiao Dalang said: "Since two years ago, he came to Yan's house to farm the land by himself, and pretended to be a ghost to scare people. It has nothing to do with us."

Xiao Erlang, who was gagged and held down in the yard, struggled angrily. Magistrate Tang patted the gavel and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Yes, it's the truth, it's the truth."

"Then tell me, why did Xiao Erlang want to grow vegetables in Yan's garden, when did he start, and why did he pretend to be a servant?"

Xiao Dalang swallowed, his mind was buzzing, and he subconsciously said: "A corner of the utility room at the back of my house collapsed due to the flood, and when I sorted it out, I found a big hole in the wall connected to Yan's house. Master Yan was taken away, no one in the Yan family noticed the big hole, and my family had no money to repair it, so I left it alone. Later, the Yan family was raided, and my second brother was naughty, so he would sneak to Yan’s house to play from time to time Son, I don’t know when, he quietly opened a vegetable field at Yan’s house to grow vegetables.”

Xiao Dalang said: "Because the houses of Yan's house and Yu's house are also separated by a wall, we, no, yes, he is working there, and it may alarm the tenants of Yu's house, so he pretends to be a ghost. "

"Woooooo..." Xiao Erlang, whose mouth was gagged in the yard, suddenly exploded and struggled fiercely.

County magistrate Tang looked at it and smiled slightly, and said: "It seems that Xiao Erlang has something different to say, come here, bring Xiao Erlang up for me."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and whispered to the yamen servant: "Go and take the two elders of the Xiao family into the courtyard, and block their mouths, so that they are not allowed to make a sound."

The yamen servant responded with a cry and withdrew.

Man Bao was amazed and couldn't help but look back at Bai Shanbao.

Bai Shanbao was also amazed, and also turned his head to look at her.

Good night
