Chapter 801 Confession (1)

Seeing so many delicious food, Mantou's stomach couldn't help growling, he swallowed, glanced at the two yamen guards carefully, stretched out his hand and pulled a chicken leg, and found something was wrong after he took a bite.

While chewing, he looked expectantly at the two yamen servants, "Officer, officer, can I go out?"

Yamen servant A nodded and said: "You can go out after eating."

Manny Tou forced himself to put down the chicken leg in his hand, and said, "I'm not hungry anymore, let's go out now."

Yamen servant B smiled and said: "Brother, let's eat more, you can't go on the road hungry."

After all, he poured a glass of wine for the boy himself.

The secret he heard last night popped out of Scarlet's mind, his hands trembled, and his whole body trembled, "Go, go? What way?"

Yamen servant A reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, what do you think? You live in a death row. Speaking of which, it's the first time I've seen a death row prisoner in the county government for so many years, so we have no experience. It’s rough, but we did our best. Don’t speak ill of us when you’re underground…”

Before he could finish his words, Scarlet rolled his eyes, looking as if he was about to faint, Yamen servant B just stretched out his hand to help him, but Scarlet recovered himself, fell to the ground and crawled He stepped forward and hugged Yamen servant A's leg, and shouted: "I said, I said, I said everything, it has nothing to do with me, it really has nothing to do with me, it was Zhou Yin, it was Zhou Yin who did it."

The two yamen servants looked at each other, they didn't expect that there was something going on, and said: "Don't tell us that, we are servants and we can't be the masters."

"You can't be the masters, you can't be the masters, I, I want to see the lord, I want to see the county magistrate, what you want to arrest is Zhou Yin, but Zhou Yin is dead, by the way, he has a daughter, he still has Girl, don't catch me, don't cut off my head, it has nothing to do with me, it really has nothing to do with me, I just saw it..."

In this way, Laitou was brought to the county magistrate Tang.

The two yamen servants reported in a low voice what he had said in the prison to Magistrate Tang. Magistrate Tang fixed his eyes and nodded slightly.

Glancing at the busy lobby, Magistrate Tang thought for a moment, then got up and said, "Take him to the backyard, and I'll interrogate him later."

The private interrogation was over, Yamen servant A and Yamen servant B looked at each other, agreed, and escorted the boy to the backyard of the county government.

The backyard of the county government office is the mansion of County Magistrate Yang. Although there is a gate connected to the county government office, the people guarding the gate are the servants of County Magistrate Yang, so not everyone in front can come here.

County magistrate Tang went in and out of the backyard as if he were going back to his own home. He asked someone to clean up a side room and interrogated the scarlet there. He left only a clerk and a long follower by his side.

Chang Sui was his confidant, Mingli, and the clerk was an official from Luojiang County, who Yang Heshu had said was trustworthy.

County Magistrate Tang sat down in the first seat, and the clerk Jiang Qi looked around, then moved over a table and stool, put the Four Treasures of the Study on it, and planned to record the case here.

As soon as the things were put on the table, the two yamen servants brought up the lame head.

Scarlet saw that he was not going to the court, but the yamen servant pushed him down and then retreated. There was only Magistrate Tang sitting in the hall, and there were only two people on the left and right sides, and one of them was still a servant, so he was even more sure of yesterday The secret I heard at night, the bad officials in the hall really want to take him as the scapegoat.

County magistrate Tang took a sip of tea, looked at the shivering scarlet man below, and said, "Didn't you have something to tell me? Tell me!"

Scarlet swallowed his saliva, licked his lips and said cautiously: "My lord, the little one was wronged, really wronged, those things have nothing to do with me, I just listen to the village chief and the villagers, It’s not intentional to conceal official errands.”

Tang County Magistrate asked: "What are you hiding from the official post? Let's start from the beginning."

The scarlet head was blocked, he didn't know where to say it, he was the group of people who knew the least about Zhou Yin's matter, because at that time he was just following what others said, and he followed what the village said. .

What does this make him say?

Seeing his stupid appearance, Magistrate Tang simply asked, "Let's talk about Zhou Yin first, where is Zhou Yin?"

"Dead," Laidou said very softly and quickly, "He died more than ten years ago, and he died with his wife."

"More than ten years ago?"

"Yes," Laitou counted with his fingers, and said, "It was about eleven or twelve years ago. At that time, the little daughter of Zhou Jin's family was only a few months old, and she was still young. By the way, she was Zhou Yin's daughter. Daughter, only daughter."

Magistrate Tang raised his eyelids to look at him, and asked, "Where is the man buried?"

"It's in the cemetery of Zhou's family at the end of the village. It used to be buried with no name and no distinction. They didn't dare to let others know. Later, an official sent to the county government and said that there was Zhou Yin's funeral report. Zhou's family spread it out with great fanfare. He was reburied."

"Then let's talk about Zhou Yin carefully. What did he do? How did he die?"

"He's a bandit," Scarlet Tou was a little confused, "Isn't that what the officials said?"

Magistrate Tang raised his eyebrows and asked, "When did the official say that?"

"Only eleven or twelve years ago, he and his wife were hacked to death on the mountain, and we brought them back, and a few officials and lords riding tall horses came to the village," the crocodile gestured, and said, "They took Big knives and portraits, saying that the people in the portraits were bandits who were hacked to death on the mountain when they captured them, and asked us who buried them, what their names were, and which family they were from.”

Scarlet head said: "At that time they were so fierce, how dare we say that they are from Zhou Jin's family? They are all from the village. Their family and many other families in the village have kindness, so everyone said that they have never seen it, don't know, and fooled people. Gone. Later, another group of people came and searched every house carefully, so we didn’t dare to speak out.”

The amount of information is a bit large, and the clerk couldn't help but look up at Magistrate Tang.

Magistrate Tang sat up straight and asked, "Eleven or twelve years ago, was it the second year of Dazhen, or the third year of Dazhen?"

Without even thinking about it, Laitou said, "Dazhen three years."

"How do you remember it so clearly?"

"Because there was also a flood in Yizhou City the year before, and it also affected us, and my second daughter was born in the second year of Dazhen. I remembered it when the adults said it."

Magistrate Tang asked, "Zhou Yin sold himself before. When did he return to his hometown for the first time?"

"In the third year of Dazhen, he went back just once. He married a wife, gave birth to a daughter, and returned home with a rich clothes."

Magistrate Tang raised his chin and said, "Then let's talk about it carefully."

The scarlet head was a little timid under his sharp gaze, shrank his neck and asked, "Say, what are you talking about?"

The next update will be around 2pm
