At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 311 Death penalty

"Brother, help, brother, help~" Chen Er plunged into the public house and hugged Yao Yuguo's thigh with a puff.

Yao Yuguo had already seen the police officers chasing in, and instantly understood the whole story.

Sure enough, he was set up.

Yao Yuguo leaned over and whispered: "Resist arrest and let them kill you. I guarantee that Dalang will be fine."

Chen Er was stunned for a moment, then suddenly jumped up and pulled out a dagger from his arms.

"I don't want to die, take me out!" Chen Er pounced on Yao Yuguo.

Yao Yuguo took two steps back in a hurry, picked up a chair and knocked Chen Er over his head. Chen Er had just screamed, but Yao Yuguo had already snatched the dagger and thrust it into his neck.

Chen Er twitched twice and lost his breath. He only stared at Yao Yuguo.

Yao Yuguo felt weak all over and collapsed on the ground, gasping for air.

Chen Ergou jumped over the wall to take hostages, which was indeed beyond his expectation. Fortunately, he had been pampered for so many years and still had the skills at hand, otherwise he would have been buried with Chen Ergou.

According to the law, if criminals take hostages and want to escape, officers and soldiers can kill them together.

"Straight bitch!" Tong Yi was so angry after witnessing all this.

I thought that he was a veteran of the Criminal Department, and he never made mistakes in handling cases and arresting people, but I didn't expect that the boat would capsize in the gutter today.

The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more. Tong Yi waved his hand and said: "Come on, seal the scene and take the soldiers to record a confession."

The detectives behind him immediately swarmed in and performed their duties.

With dirty money in his possession, Chen Er's charge of corruption was real. The only trouble was how to nail Yao Yuguo to death.

It's hard.

In this kind of matter, the principal's confession is very important evidence. After Chen Er died, the corrections from other accomplices were not convincing enough. After all, Yao Yuguo was also an official of the imperial court, and his son Yao Yu studied in the Imperial College and had extensive connections.

After cleaning up the scene, Yao Yuguo's confession came out.

He persuaded Chen Er to surrender, but Chen Ergou jumped over the wall and took hostages but was killed. This was Yao Yuguo's confession.

Tong Yi knew that there were nine truths and one falsehood, but there was nothing he could do, not even taking Yao Yuguo back for questioning.

With depression, Tong Yi returned to the inn, reported the situation to Wen Tianxiang and apologized.

"The lower official was careless. He thought he could catch him, but he didn't want Chen Er to be so radical. Please punish him." Tong Yi said.

"It doesn't matter. All Chen's family members have arrived at the case. There will be no account books or anything like that for the first trial." Wen Tianxiang said.

"The next officer will go to the trial immediately." Tong Yi said goodbye and left.

Hu Zhen's journey was easy, because Yan Defa directly took the dirty money, and everyone got the stolen money. There was no denying it, and he could just be punished according to the law. Chen Er had to spend some effort on his side.

When they arrived at the prison, Chen Er's daughter-in-law, son-in-law, and granddaughter had all arrived, and they were all crying.

"Bring Chen Zhang first." Tong Yi began the interrogation.

Ordinary civilian women don't know anything, and neither does their daughter. Even if Tong Yi promised to explain that he would be exempted from entering the priest's office, he couldn't say anything useful.

When it was the turn of his son-in-law Chen Sanlang, he explained a situation in order to avoid being exiled.

"Zhang's family had no family, so Chen Er kept an outhouse. If the villain hadn't stumbled upon it accidentally, we wouldn't know.

This matter is quite strange, because Zhang has always asked Chen Er to take concubines, but he said that a son-in-law can also inherit the family business, and this does not have to be the case.

But later, the villain made special inquiries and found that the Wang family of the other family had given birth to a son. From his appearance, he could be sure that he was Chen Er's biological son.

The villain thinks there must be something fishy in it. "Chen Sanlang immediately told the address of Chen Er's wife's wife. If he didn't tell anyone, he would immediately send someone to arrest him and bring him to justice.

The outside family is not included in the household registration book, but the registered family is an official slave of the whole family, so naturally the illegitimate child will not be missed.

Soon, Wang and his son arrived at the case.

Tong Yi glanced at it and knew that it was indeed Chen Eryang's, because it looked so similar.

Just weird.

In this era that pays attention to the inheritance of incense, there is only one explanation for the fact that a son did not take him back to raise him but stayed outside. That is that Chen Er knew that he could not escape his guilt and did this deliberately to prevent his parents and children from being implicated.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for fishing, the head of a mere sales school wouldn't be here.

Because judging from the trial of several other accomplices and related evidence, Chen Eryi only received more than ten thousand dollars in one year, which is really not worth being so cautious.

"Chen Er's corruption incident occurred and he cost at least 60 taels. He was arrested and tried to take hostages but was killed.

According to the law, you are all exiled overseas. It should be noted that the mountains are high and the rivers are far away. Your son is young and may be lost on the way. "

Before Tong Yi could finish speaking, Wang couldn't stop kowtowing and begging, saying: "Officials hold up their noble hands, officials hold up their noble hands..."

Tong Yi said: "You have enjoyed the benefits given by Chen Er, and you will naturally have to bear the corresponding punishment. However, if you report and reveal important clues, you will be exempted from exile."

"Officer, I really don't know what the master is doing..." Wang suddenly paused and said hesitantly: "I remember something from the past, but I don't know if it will be useful."

"Speaking carefully, if it is useful, it must be pardoned." Tong Yi said.

"The year before last, when the elder man was one year old, I discussed with the head of the family to give the child a name so that he could inherit the family property in the future.

Chen Er owns two shops and rents more than ten dollars per month..."

The Chen family all explained these things, but Tong Yi did not interrupt and just listened patiently.

"It's just that Chen Er said that he did many great things with Yao Yuguo in the early years. If he was found out, he would definitely punish the whole family, so he didn't dare..."

"What's the matter?" Tong Yi couldn't help but ask.

In this era, purely in terms of law, the death penalty was rare in both the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Only those who committed treason would execute the entire clan. For other crimes, the most serious crime was to kill the person himself and exile the entire family.

Chen Er said this, the crime must be far more serious than corruption.

Wang shook his head and said: "Chen Er shut up in time. The Nu family didn't dare to ask more questions. They only coaxed him to promise that he would inherit a shop when the eldest son reaches the crown."

"Okay." Tong Yi stopped Wang and said, "If it is found out that this is the case, I will definitely pardon you."

"Thank you so much, officials, but there is not a single false word from my family." Mrs. Wang was busy thanking her.

Tong Yi didn't hesitate, asked Wang to sign the painting, and hurried to see Wen Tianxiang with his confession.

There is no need to suspect Wang of lying, unless she wants to die for Chen Er, but if she has the courage, can she still be willing to be an unknown concubine?
Wen Tianxiang read the confession and said with a smile: "I thought I was just cleaning out a few moths, but I didn't expect there was a deeper inside story."

"Ms. sir, do you want to arrest Yao Yuguo?" Tong Yi asked for instructions.

"It's inconsistent with the law." Wen Tianxiang shook his head and said: "Let the corruption case be settled first, so that he thinks the matter is settled, and then we can slowly investigate the matter."

Bingcao Lushi joined the army as a sixth-grade official, which was already higher than the county magistrate. He was a proper official of the court. It was impossible to arrest someone just because of a confession without solid evidence.

"It's just an old story. There is no evidence or evidence, and there are no clues. I'm afraid it will be difficult to investigate." Tong Yi said.

"It has many old subordinates. Whether dead or alive, there may not be any clues. If you investigate secretly, you will definitely gain something." Wen Tianxiang said.

Wen Tianxiang was a criminal officer on Jingnan South Road, and he knows the prison affairs very well. As long as there is a solid suspect, he will definitely be able to dig it out.
