The robber knelt down and shivered, but didn't say a word.
County Magistrate Tang squinted his eyes, glanced at the government officials below, and said with a slight smile: "Come here, go ask the county captain again, and tell him that the robbers have woken up, and they will be brought out for trial later, and he will be asked to lead them."
Someone goes and catches him."
"yes."
This place is not far from the next door, and it was the second time Tang County Magistrate sent someone to invite him. The county captain came not long after.
He glanced at the people kneeling in the hall and bowed to Magistrate Tang, explaining: "The official is making arrangements for the winter in each village, so he is late."
Winter is coming, and for the sake of safety, the county captain has to make some arrangements, especially for the newly built refugee village.
These refugees were all newly grouped together. In order to reduce disputes and various safety hazards, he had to arrange for some people to go to the villages to be responsible for the safety of each village.
The county captain has been busy with this matter recently, and County Magistrate Tang is also very concerned about it.
So he didn't say anything, he just smiled at the county lieutenant and nodded slightly, motioning him to sit aside and listen, saying: "As for other cases, there are robbers in this official road who need your help, so I asked you to come and listen together.
Give it a listen."
The county captain bowed and said "yes", then sat down on the chair next to him.
After sitting down, he discovered that there were two people standing next to Magistrate Tang, and they both looked very familiar.
The county captain couldn't help but frown.
County Magistrate Tang was not in a hurry to interrogate him. When he saw him looking at Bai Shan and Man Bao, he smiled and explained: "The person under my control is not serious. He was knocked unconscious when he was captured. I saw that he was still not waking up.
So I asked Dr. Zhou from Jishi Hall to come and have a look."
As for why Bai Shan is here, is there any need to explain?
The county lieutenant didn't ask about this, he just hesitated and said: "Now..."
County Magistrate Tang smiled slightly and said: "I asked them to stay. It happened to be that the previous victim who was robbed was Dr. Xiao Zhou's brother. They are a family and considered the victims, so they were allowed to stay."
Listened in."
The county captain smiled and nodded, praising: "Your Excellency is still thoughtful."
The robbers looked up at Man Bao in surprise, apparently realizing that Man Bao was the sister of the person they robbed that day.
When Man Bao saw him looking at her, she grinned at him.
The robber shuddered. Seeing that she was standing so close to Magistrate Tang, and what he heard just now when he was pretending to be unconscious, it was obvious that they were acquaintances.
This is someone with a background!
Behind the scenes are their parents and officials!
The robber's face suddenly turned pale and he fell to the ground. He didn't even need to be interrogated by the Tang County Magistrate. He rolled his eyes and fainted.
County Magistrate Tang: "..."
County Captain:...Didn’t he just say, “Your Excellency, you have considered everything carefully?” Why are you confused?
The county captain couldn't bear to be angry.
Magistrate Tang looked at Manbao.
Man Bao silently took the needle bag and went up, but this time the county captain was there, so instead of pricking his acupoint, she picked a sharp needle, pulled up his right hand, found an acupoint and pricked it.
, and after spinning for a few times, he faintly woke up again.
Man Bao looked at him faintly and said, "Don't faint again. If you faint again, I won't prick your hand."
Then stare at his nose.
The robber trembled and said nothing.
When Magistrate Tang saw He County Lieutenant, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect this person to be so courageous in robbing someone. Those who didn't know better thought he was the one who suffered."
The county lieutenant also nodded and agreed: "Some people only look docile on the surface, but they are very fierce behind the scenes. Adults rarely interact with them, so they don't know that such evil people are really sinister."
Mr. Tang nodded and waved Man Bao to retreat.
Then he patted the gavel again and interrogated the robber, asking: "Tell me, what is your name, where do you live, and who else is there in the house?"
The robber hurriedly kowtowed and shouted: "You are wronged, sir. I am really wronged. I have no idea why I was captured here..."
Mr. Tang slapped the gavel hard and shouted: "I didn't ask you what you committed. I asked you what your name is, where you live, and who else is in your family?"
The robber trembled and said nothing, feeling extremely flustered.
Brother Dashu only said that whoever was caught and bitten to death could not reveal the others, but he did not say whether he should say his name when asked.
What if the county magistrate arrests all their family members?
While I was thinking wildly, a government servant came in and said: "Sir, the two li longs in Dagong Ridge have arrived."
Magistrate Tang smiled slightly and said: "Gag his mouth and take him down to the hall to beat him. Beat him lightly. He will be interrogated later."
"Sir, how many boards can you hit?"
Magistrate Tang waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "You can fight as you like."
The yamen officials had long been accustomed to the various strange orders issued by Tang County magistrates, and this did not seem strange at all, so they quickly blocked the person's mouth and dragged him out to slap the board.
When Magistrate Tang saw them starting to fight, he said, "Invite the village chiefs in."
Those who can be chiefs are usually quite young, so the two chiefs soon joined in together.
As soon as they entered the lobby, they had to kneel down. Halfway through, they found that Magistrate Tang had no intention of stopping them, so the two of them could only kneel down to say hello.
Both of them felt a little heavy-hearted, and they obviously saw the people making boards outside.
Magistrate Tang didn't say anything for a while, and the two of them lay on the ground without daring to get up. The sound of the panels hitting their flesh seemed to hit their hearts.
The county lieutenant lowered his eyes. Master Tang's intimidation move was really useful, but he had to say that he used it very well, because even though he already knew that the people outside the hall didn't say anything, he couldn't bear it.
Keep your heart up.
Looking at Li Chang who was kneeling on the ground, sweat slowly forming on his forehead, and trembling a little, he knew that this time the county magistrate had won again.
Bai Shanye and Manbao looked at each other, their eyes shining brightly.
Magistrate Tang took two sips of tea. After a long time, the government servant outside the door came in and reported: "Sir, he fainted again."
County Magistrate Tang:......
He looked at Man Bao.
Manbao quietly went out to wake people up.
However, Magistrate Tang did not ask them to beat him again, but he did not bring the man back, but left him lying on the bench.
Then his eyes fell on the two li chiefs, he threw down the two portraits in his hands, let them float to their sides, and asked: "Chief Mo Li, Chief Sun, I have the last question.
You two, do you know these two people?"
Both of them were dripping with cold sweat, and Man Bao looked worried.
She felt that if these two fainted, the situation would probably be more serious than the robbers who were knocked unconscious outside.
Magistrate Tang was not in a hurry. They didn't speak, so he waited. Anyway, he was sitting while they were kneeling, and he still had tea to drink. What was he afraid of?
After being silent for a while, Mr. Mori finally couldn't bear it any longer and whispered: "Sir, these two people vaguely look familiar, but the younger one is old and dim and doesn't remember much, so he doesn't dare to recognize them randomly."
