The first thousand one hundred and sixty-six chapters angry people
The old man looked around and said cautiously: "Magistrate Gao asked me to bring a few words to the young master."
"What words?"
The old man whispered: "Young master, you don't know something. The county magistrate did not arrest you or sentence you. It was all done by Du County Lieutenant. Du County Lieutenant relied on his good personal relationship with Liu Wentong, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, so
He acted daringly and arrested many people. Magistrate Gao has already been extremely angry about this matter... Magistrate Gao, my father and you, have been friends for many years, and of course they will not sit idly by and ignore it..."
Mr. Lan was overjoyed: "So, I thought it was Gao Yuanzhi who harmed me before. It seems that I misunderstood him?"
The old man slapped his thigh: "Yes, there is a big misunderstanding. All this has nothing to do with County Magistrate Gao."
"Then how does he plan to save me?"
The old man leaned into Mr. Lan's ear and said mysteriously: "County Magistrate Gao said, when you get to the lobby later, no matter what Lieutenant Du says, you just agree. No matter what the crime, you admit it."
Don’t be afraid of signing paintings... Magistrate Gao has already gone to the Ministry of Officials, and someone will come to deal with Du He soon. By then, you will be saved."
"It's that simple?"
"County Magistrate Gao said, listen to him in everything, and there will be nothing wrong."
Mr. Lan nodded: "I have been friends with County Magistrate Gao for many years. Of course I trust him. Don't worry, I will agree to it no matter what happens. I believe Magistrate Gao will definitely save me.
"
Mr. Lan was a little nervous just now, but now he is very calm.
He was led to the lobby by two government officials.
Snapped.
Du He was stunned and asked: "Is this Lan Lian?"
Lan Lian is the name of Mr. Lan, but people call him Mr. Lan and forget his real name.
Mr. Lan nodded: "It's me!"
Du He said loudly: "Mr. Lan, yesterday I was patrolling the streets with my subordinates. I happened to see you committing murder on the street and caught you. After that, I asked people to investigate and found that you were not only responsible for the murder yesterday. In recent years, you have been...
East Chang'an City has done evil things, oppressed the people, and disregarded human lives. It is a heinous crime. Now, I am going to pronounce your punishment in public... Just listen carefully."
Du He paused, picked up the case, and began to ask: "On May 15th, yesterday, you beat up foreign businessmen in the street and demanded compensation. This is blackmail. Can you admit this?"
"Yes, I did it." Mr. Lan admitted generously.
Du He asked again: "On the third day of May, you robbed a farmer's daughter outside the city. The farmer refused, so you had him beaten to death and buried in the woods two miles outside the city. The girl was killed by you."
He was brought to Chang'an and committed suicide at your home. You didn't report it to the official, but dragged him out of the city and buried him. Can you admit it?"
Mr. Lan nodded: "Yes, I did it."
"Beast!"
"Bah, worse than a beast!"
"Deserves to be killed!"
"Too cruel!"
But the people couldn't help it and cursed one after another.
Mr. Lan turned his head and looked at it, not caring at all.
You can scold me, anyway, I have Magistrate Gao to help me, so nothing will happen in the end. When I get out, I will deal with you untouchables.
He looked proud.
Du He began to ask again: "Mr. Lan, on April 18th, you set up a gambling game and invited a businessman from Jiangnan to gamble. You defrauded the businessman of 20,000 yuan, causing him to lose all the money he spent on doing business in Chang'an City.
, went back in despair, do you admit this?"
"Tch, that guy is not very good at studying. He can't see such an obvious scam. Who else would he be lying to?" Mr. Lan said proudly.
"April 9th..."
"The eighth day of March..."
"..."
Du He read out one charge after another.
Mr. Lan kept the old man's teachings in mind and firmly believed that everything would be arranged by Gao Yuanzhi, and Gao Yuanzhi would definitely be able to rescue him, so he answered questions fluently and even answered quickly.
There are twenty-eight counts in total.
Mr. Lan all pleaded guilty.
Du He said: "In that case, Mr. Lan, just sign and sign the charge."
Mr. Lan hesitated for a moment.
But I believe Gao Yuanzhi has the upper hand.
He signed and stamped it readily.
Du He took the charge sheet and announced in public: "Lan Lian, a member of the Wannian family. In recent years, he has done evil in Wannian County, oppressed the people, and disregarded human life. His crime is unpardonable... According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, he must be executed! Come on!"
He was beaten fifty times with the blue lotus stick and immediately taken outside the east gate and beheaded in public."
In future generations, criminals will be punished and beheaded.
But in the Tang Dynasty, there was no such rule.
However, beheading a prisoner requires reporting to superiors.
Mr. Lan was so frightened that he peed his pants. He turned pale and shouted, "Where is Magistrate Gao? Where is Gao Yuanzhi?"
Unfortunately, apart from the excited onlookers, there was no trace of Gao Yuanzhi.
Zhang San and Li Si came over, tied Mr. Lan tightly, and then pinned him to the ground.
Several government officials came up and smashed down the board with their heads and faces.
Mr. Lan, who was usually pampered and pampered, could not bear this. After going down the fifty-fifty board, he was knocked unconscious three times. The last time, he did not wake up immediately.
Du He said in a cold voice: "It's best if you faint, to avoid this disgusting person. Come on, take Lan Lian outside the east gate immediately and behead her in public."
"yes!"
Ma San'er led the government officials, threw the unconscious Lan Lian onto the bullock cart, and left the county government office.
Gao Yuanzhi, the magistrate of Wannian County, was absent, so Du He was naturally the supervisor.
He followed in a carriage.
The common people followed Du He's carriage with excited faces.
In Chang'an City, an eye-catching group of people suddenly appeared.
People inquired one after another and found out that it was Du He, the captain of Wannian County, who had sentenced the dandy Mr. Lan to the crime and was taking Mr. Lan outside the east gate to behead him in public.
"That guy, Mr. Lan, is going to be beheaded?"
"God has eyes!"
"How can such a good thing be left out of my life, Sun Tiedan!"
"My uncle's third son's uncle's grandson was killed by Mr. Lan. I must go and see and spit on him!"
The crowd spread the word, and soon, almost the entire city of Chang'an knew that the famous dandy Blue Young Master in East Chang'an City was going to be beheaded, and people joined the onlookers in groups.
At the beginning, the team was relatively orderly.
Later, someone took the lead and started throwing things and spitting at Mr. Lan who was lying on the bullock cart.
When Du He saw it, he couldn't help but sigh: "The Bitter Blue Lotus in East Chang'an City has been there for a long time. It's a miracle that this guy can survive to this day! Oh... some bastard threw the stone..."
Du He saw with his own eyes that a stone as big as a casserole fell from the sky and hit Mr. Lan on the chest, causing Mr. Lan to vomit a large mouthful of blood.
When they arrived outside the east gate, Mr. Lan was already dying. Even if he was not beheaded, he would probably not survive for a few days.
The fifty slabs he received at the county government office were already heavy enough. Along the way, this guy was hit with countless things. If Du He didn't ask the government officials to stop him in time, these angry people would have beaten Mr. Lan alive.
