Chapter 787 Timid

A tall and mighty yamen servant with a fierce face walked up to the side of Laitou, stared at him like a bell, and chanted all kinds of tortures such as pinching fingers, nailing fingers, sliced ​​meat, and roasting.

Although most of the tortures have not been used since the last two county magistrates, and the instruments of torture are all rusted, it is still very bluffing.

At least Scarlet was bluffed, then rolled his eyes and fainted.

Magistrate Yang: ...

He looked at the yamen servant, the tall yamen servant touched his head, and smiled innocently, "My lord, I didn't expect him to be so unafraid, how about I shake him awake?"

County magistrate Yang looked at Laitou for a long time, then waved him to wake him up.

Who knew that when Laitou woke up and saw County Magistrate Yang, he rolled his eyes and was about to faint again.

County magistrate Yang said: "If you dare to faint, the county will directly punish you."

Scarlet head froze and forced himself to wake up, but he seemed to be tottering as if he had passed out.

County magistrate Yang was very satisfied with being able to scare him like this. He nodded and asked, "Zhou Yin is Zhou Jin's younger brother. You Qili Village doesn't even have a hundred households. You can see it from the slope at the end of the village. The situation in the courtyard of the village head, and your house is not far from Zhou Jin's house, so if he can't come back, it shouldn't be hidden from you when he will come back?"

The scarlet head burst into tears, and said tremblingly: "My lord, I, I have never seen Zhou Yin, he, he has been gone for so many years, I even forgot what he looks like."

"Then tell me how many years he has been gone?"

"Ten, more than ten years, I left when I was fourteen, and never came back."

"How do you know it's fourteen?"

"Me, I'm just two years older than him. There was a severe drought in central Sichuan that year, and our village was also very drought. Many people starved to death, so I remember."

"Why did he leave?"

"A way to live. They have a lot of family members. If they stay, they will definitely die. If they leave, they may survive, and the family members will have another way to survive."

"So they have a good relationship as brothers?"

The scarlet head was not sure if there was any pitfall in this question, and said with wandering eyes: "It's okay, it's okay."

County magistrate Yang said expressionlessly: "But the county heard that Zhou Yin came back after leaving, and someone saw him."

Scarlet's face was pale, and he shook his lips and said, "I, I don't know, I don't know anything..."

County magistrate Yang stared at him for a while, sighed, got up and turned his back, waved and said: "Use torture."

The yamen servants dragged the lame man out to beat the board.

"My lord, how many boards do you play?"

County Magistrate Yang: "Come and try Shibanzi first."

After beating the ten boards, the scarlet head was dragged back again, crying, "I'm wronged, I'm wronged, my lord, I really don't know anything."

County Magistrate Yang said, "Try pinching your fingers."

The yamen servants looked at magistrate Yang's face, but they didn't dare to kill him, so they tightened the splint.

The scarlet head screamed, rolled his eyes, and fainted again.

Magistrate Yang frowned and looked at him. The yamen servant went to pat him, but when he found that there was no movement, he looked at Magistrate Yang cautiously.

Magistrate Yang frowned slightly, "Have you tried your best?"

"No, it's just a pinch that hurts, but no bone is broken." Of course, tendon injuries are inevitable.

But they thought that County Magistrate Yang rarely used torture and was gentle, so they used a clever trick to make people hurt without hurting bones.

County Magistrate Yang saw that he couldn't wake up the person, so he waved his hand and said: "Put him in prison first, and ask tomorrow. By the way, let Wu Zuo show him, don't scare him to death."

"yes."

As a clerk in the county government office, in order to save money, he occasionally works part-time as a veterinarian, treating horses and prisoners in the government office.

Wu Zuo pricked his Renzhong acupuncture point and woke him up, but he was lucky, County Magistrate Yang was tired and didn't want to interrogate him for the time being.

But Mantou didn't feel good at all, he spent the whole night in the prison in fear, tears shed for half the night, in his mind, he really couldn't think of any relationship between himself and Zhou Yin's matter.

Even if Zhou Yin's incident happened, the old Zhou's family members should be arrested and interrogated, right?

Why arrest him?

Scarlet head was dragged to the lobby with red and swollen eyes the next day, but he still gritted his teeth and said he didn't know anything.

County magistrate Yang looked at him deeply for a while, and didn't torture him again, but waved his hand and said, "Let him go."

The scarlet head was stunned, and looked up at County Magistrate Yang suspiciously.

Magistrate Yang asked him, "Will you tell Zhou Jin's family about this when you go back?"

Scarlet head shuddered and shook his head again and again.

County magistrate Yang smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Then you can go back."

The scarlet who was kneeling on the ground tentatively got up half of his knees. Seeing County Magistrate Yang staring at him intently, his knees softened and he knelt back.

County Magistrate Yang smiled at him and said, "Let's go."

The scarlet head lay on the ground and took two steps back. Seeing that the yamen servants in the lobby didn't stop him, he stumbled to his feet and ran out.

After running out of the county office, he glanced back, seeing that no one was coming to arrest him, he immediately ran away with the wind on his feet.

County magistrate Yang watched him run away, and Gao Daya was very puzzled, "My lord, he is a soft bone. He will be locked up for another two days and he will be recruited after a few beatings. How did you let him go?"

"You also said that he is soft-boned, but he was frightened and frightened all night, didn't he not recruit?" County Magistrate Yang said, "Human bones are very strange. If you beat him down all at once, he will not recruit." He did it, but if he didn't do it, the bones that were lying on the ground became tough, and if he wanted to ask a question again, unless he kicked the bones with all his strength, he wouldn't be able to get anything like this."

And can he exert his strength?

That is of course impossible.

The rogue didn't do anything wrong, he was just lazy and bet against his family, he could beat and beat each other, but it really broke people's limbs...

County magistrate Yang is not a cool official, where is his bottom line?

So he had no choice but to let him go and think of other ways.

"Then if he tells Zhou Jin that you are investigating Zhou Yin's affairs..."

County magistrate Yang smiled slightly and said, "I hope he said it. After all, this matter is just my guess, and there is no evidence at all. If someone moves in their house, maybe I will know."

However, magistrate Yang's hopes were obviously in vain. The scorpion ran home and fell asleep, daring not to say a word. When his father asked him where he was last night, he was so angry that he kicked over the table at home. .

He didn't even dare to speak to his own parents, let alone people outside.

When I went out and met people from the old Zhou's family, he avoided it from a distance.

This made the old Zhou tou narrow his eyes, and he told Qian when he got home, guessing: "Do you think the scarlet stole something from our house?"

Qian thought about it carefully and said, "I haven't lost anything at home."

"What about the field?" Old Zhou thought of something, sat up from the bed and said, "That kid wouldn't have secretly troubled the privets on our mountain, right? Otherwise, why would you hide when you see me?"

Mrs. Qian also raised her heart, "It's late today, let the boss and the third child go up the mountain tomorrow to have a look, if you really dare to harm our family's medicinal materials, I will cut him to death."
