A good trial of the case turned out to be a farce. Not to mention Magistrate Hong, even Xiao Han and others were stunned by such changes.
However, a farce is still a farce. As Fatty Hong slammed the gavel on the table and broke it into two pieces, the noisy crowd outside still fell silent.
"Ask the question first, and write down the remaining sticks for now!"
Seeing that he had finally managed to calm down the crowd outside, Magistrate Hong, who was humiliated in front of Xiao Han, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and turned towards the Yamen servants who were still holding up sticks, wondering whether they should continue to beat him.
With a wink, he signaled them to retreat first. However, this action immediately aroused boos from outside.
"You said an official hired you! So who is he? Why did he hire you?" With a straight face, Magistrate Hong pretended not to hear the boos outside and continued to ask the hooligans.
But now, Scarface, who had just been beaten hard, had completely lost his memory. When he heard the county magistrate asked him again, he immediately lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead, not even daring to **.
He also saw it now. The old man often said that the first rafters will die first. This sentence is absolutely true!
Just now, I just had a fever, thinking that this county magistrate was as easy-going as Xiao Han yesterday, and that if he just said a few words, nothing would happen.
In the end, he really just said a few words, and then...then he was beaten like this! If he continued to talk like this, how could he still be alive?
Scarface was lying on the ground, refusing to say a word even if he was beaten to death, and the other gangsters were no worse. Like frightened ostriches, they almost buried their heads in the floor tiles, for fear of following in Scarface's footsteps.
Compared with these smart subordinates, Hun Jianglong, who had just jumped out, suddenly discovered sadly that he was the slowest to react!
Standing blankly among a group of men, he saw that almost everyone, including the people watching the excitement outside, were staring at him. Hun Jianglong's face, which had originally become pale due to excessive blood loss, was even more pale at this moment.
Became completely white!
Sure enough, good brother! Be loyal! At the critical moment, he acts like the boss without batting an eyelid.
"hehe……"
The corner of his mouth twitched a few times, and Hun Jianglong suddenly laughed miserably. Amidst the looks of the young men around him, who were either happy or guilty, he no longer hid, but slowly straightened his back, stared at Magistrate Hong and said, "That one should be
Who is the official? How could we know! We are just ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, eating a hard-earned meal! We are not as good as you, the high-ranking officials who have no worries about food and clothing! We are unlucky today, and you have taken advantage of us.
Our brothers have nothing to say! If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please!"
"Oh? Are you dissatisfied?" On the side, Liu Hongji, who is also an old Jianghu, heard the resentment in Hun Jianglong's words, and sneered: "What are you dissatisfied with?"
Hun Jianglong, who was standing alone in the middle of the courtroom, was ready to risk his life. Hearing this, he turned around and glared at Liu Hongji: "I just refuse to accept it! You offered a sky-high price and asked us to go find you, and then you will catch us all."
Get up! I’m in jail, and now I’m still pretending to be in court for questioning, bah!”
"Are you suspecting that we are fishing?" Seeing Hun Jianglong's appearance, even Xiao Han looked a little unnatural. Could it be that this matter of fishing law enforcement existed thousands of years ago?
"fishing?"
When he heard this new term, Hun Jianglong was slightly surprised, but having grown up by the sea, he figured out what Xiao Han meant, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yes! It's fishing, you are the bait, and we are the ones biting the hook.
Fish! And he is the one carrying the fishing rod, maybe! The person who hired us is drinking tea behind the county office right now!"
"nonsense!"
At this moment, before Hun Jianglong finished speaking, Magistrate Hong behind the desk had already jumped up!
Immediately afterwards, I saw him peeking at Xiao Han and saying angrily, sweating profusely: "You said that person was ordered by me? What evidence do you have!"
"I'm just telling you, what are you afraid of?" Seeing Magistrate Hong's frightened and angry look, Hun Jianglong became more determined and asked with a sneer.
At this time, the cold sweat on Fatty Hong's forehead was almost like a stream, dripping down his cheeks. He was not afraid of being caught by these ruffians, but he was afraid that Xiao Han would really take this matter seriously!
Even if Fatty Hong had a hundred heads, it wouldn't be enough to kill him for the crime of paying someone to assassinate a second-rank official of the imperial court!
"What am I afraid of? What am I afraid of when I haven't done anything? Didn't you say that person is behind the Yamen?! Come on! Today I will let you see if there is anyone hiding behind this!"
In other words, the magistrate who is trying a case against himself, and even having his own home searched by criminals in order to prove his innocence, is probably the only magistrate in the world.
However, even so, Hun Jianglong still snorted coldly and said: "Forget it, even if that person was still in the back hall just now, by the time I go to search, I'm afraid he will have been sent away by you long ago. Who wouldn't
Knowing that you are officials, do you like to do such despicable things?"
"That's right! Isn't this official trying to trick people? Offering a price to lure people into committing crimes, and then waiting to arrest them!"
"Humph, I saw it. This Laoshizi County Magistrate must be unable to deliver results by the end of the year, so he came up with this method to put some money on his face."
Outside the hall, a group of meddlesome people began to whisper to each other again, and when Hun Jianglong heard these words, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and then he turned around and shouted loudly towards the people who were listening: "Fellows, our brothers
Although he is not a humble gentleman on weekdays, he does not dare to do big bad things! This is all their fault! It was they who deliberately offered a sky-high price of 120 guan yesterday, saying that as long as we beat one person, the money will be given to us.
Our brothers!
Folks, tell yourselves, where can I put this? Who can resist the temptation of more than a hundred pounds of money? Not to mention that our brothers are used to being poor and don’t even have enough to eat! Even if there is a richer person,
, can’t stand such a test, right?
That was the case at the time. Our brothers were obsessed with using the money to buy some clothes for the baby and some medicine for the mother! Then, in a flash of inspiration, we took over the business!
But who would have known that yesterday we just followed their instructions and came to our door, but before we even took action, we were beaten like this first. Not to mention, they didn't even show us our injuries, and just threw us away.
In prison, last night, I almost bled to death in prison!
Folks, look at my legs and the injuries on their bodies! These were all beaten by them yesterday. If you look at them again, are there any signs of injury?"
